Great analysis, annoyingly England heavy

Listened during the 2024 Euros and was impressed. Actually found it because of the English players whining that they were too harsh. Overall I found these guys to be objective, educational, even-handed, and entertaining - but of course a bit too focused on what everything means for England. Now that the Euros are over, I’m hoping they cover football beyond the English league! I’ll keep listening for sure if they cover football outside of that zone. Hoping for 2025 Euros to be covered too.

It would be great to have friends like Gary, Alan, and Micah who you could go to pub with and discuss the games. I love the show because it is funny, but I was looking for a podcast where I could learn more about football. Cheers to Gary, Alan, and Micah!
Great pod

Great podcast but it’s enough with all the adverts. I listen to many many podcasts and yours by far is the absolute worst when it comes to adverts. You make enough dough from it so you can ease up on it.

Acknowledge and accept that your English “stars” are overhyped by the Premier League. They do not see the game, cannot pass, even settle a ball like the Spanish. Your game has evolved but it has a way to go.

Join Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards for a podcast bringing strong opinions on all the latest stories from the world of football. Hosted by three men who’ve been there and done it at the highest level of the game, The Rest is Football combines topical debate with outrageous tales from their careers.
