Very disappointing

I thought this podcast would be worth a listen based on Sky Sports’ usual standard of football coverage and analysis, but I was sorely mistaken. Statements of the blindingly obvious dressed up as insight, revisionist discussion, and 20/20 hindsight, are all present in abundance.

Also, I accept that advertising is a necessary evil to keep podcasts largely free from subscription fees, but I really don’t appreciate the number of plugs specifically for online betting companies that accompany this one.

One star is all I can give it - can’t imagine listening again to be honest.
