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.
Garbage
Disgusting display of “analysts” with an agenda. Clear personal bias lead these agendas. They do not have anyone with real knowledge of the sport on this show, ex MLS players when the league was essentially semi pro and some small club goal keeper that never accomplished anything. All lack basic knowledge and they do not hide their bias, easy to get annoyed listening to these clowns. There’s rocks more intelligent than these guys
Too much Chelsea
Great Banter, especially from Craig Burley. I never expected this to be my go-to daily podcast but, here we are.
