Customer Reviews
Serie Awesome
Always looking forward to this weekly podcast. Appreciate the insight and analysis plus the drama that comes with it. Not perfect but that’s what football is all about. Hope “big dog” Gab Marcotti would drop by sometimes.
Entertaining
What is with the awful and useless loud music playing randomly on top of people speaking (different from annoying ads which I understand have to be there)? Still, I like the combination of banter, merciless teasing, whinging and of course analysis, The guys explore things not just from a tactical level but also talk about how psychology, personality and club politics affect performances. Stevie Nichol makes the most sense and I don't understand why other reviews here have picked on him (and no I'm not his wife or best mate). Keep it up, gentlemen.
Decent half the time
Fine whenever Leboeuf, Nichol and Burley aren’t there... Leboeuf is a special kind of bad
