Essential listening

If you have any interest in football and some of the murky shenanigans behind the scenes this pod throws great light on to it in a simple and entertaining way. Would be better if the pod quiz was presented by Dai Yongge and an angry bear (exit, pursued by bear, as the bard said)

Ronnie1879 ,

Love it

I would rather it was presented liz Truss and Rishi Sunak banished to a uninhabited Scottish island

Maxvdoort ,

Brilliant show but…

It’s fantastic but I’d rather it be hosted by Michael Tomlinson MP and William Storey
