Awesome!

No podcast is better than this one, when it comes to general, entertaining and informative footy-talk….brilliant hosted by Mr. Rushden ! Keep on truckin’👍

Jespernk ,

Essential

Informative, entertaining and highly knowledgeable. My favorite commuting soundtrack. The only bad thing about Football Weekly is that there is only two episodes a week. Essential listening for any serious football nerd.

Henrik Friis Bach ,

Barry should read “You Give Löw a Bad Name”

Brilliant podcast.
Huge fan of Barry reading lyrics. He should do a slightly modified version of Bon Jovi “You Give Love a Bad Name”. The intro should be

“Shot to the Heart
And Your To Blame
Neuer
You Give Löw a Bad Name”
