Pity that the quality of football being played and commented on, is nowhere as good as this podcast...!
Podcast on the decline.

Please, please, please get rid of Raul Kohli! His forced laughter, wooden delivery and shocking banter has taken what was a decent podcast to a poor one. He speaks with authority on behalf of fans but gets it wrong so often. He recently said that a lot of Newcastle fans didn’t want Steve Bruce to do well because of the Sunderland connection which is something which simply isn’t true. There may be a minority of fans who thought that, the same ones who are likely to be the first to criticise players at the drop of a hat - the ones who know little about football - but the majority didn’t want Steve Bruce because we’d seen his record before us and have been justified again by his record after us. The pod was so much better when it was just Razor, Ando plus one of the regular total sports presenters. Please go back to that

The perfect amount of factual content, the perfect amount of opinion and the perfect amount of time dedicated to it. Perfect. I’m enjoying my daily fix. Keep up the good work.
