The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Far superior to the Guardian football podcast in every way…nothing beats Jimbo!! And far less sanctimonious preaching and self congratulating as well.

Carried over from The Guardian but while that podcast retains the same joyful rhythm this iteration with Jimbo seems like the arrogant version of better days. The betting thing is whatever because most people have to make money when you’re on your own, but maybe lose the “bit” at the end as that’s usually my cue to go to something else. I don’t gamble so who cares. The Guardian's pod is infinitesimally better but doesn’t have the array of shows Muddy Knees Media has. Love their focus on the European world of football because England isn’t the be all end all for football.

The show is all right but a long way from how the original Guardian pod used to be. Lots of knowledgeable and worthy thirty somethings, with, I guess, light relief in the form of Duncan Alexander, a little of whom goes quite a long way. Overall, pretty middle-class and London-centric. I listen through the Athletic app so I’m spared PaddyPower, thank God. 2.5 stars

Just listened to the latest Euro pod Don’t why they have to slag off Euro 96. It must be a a generation thing. listening to there voices our doubt they were born or just baby’s for 96. Anyway just talk about the football instead of putting anything England down.
