Customer Reviews
Best sports podcast
Been listening since 07 and been the one of the first podcasts I ever downloaded. As a footy fan from the states, love the banter.
One of the top three best podcast out there
I’ve been listening for years, and it takes me that long to be convinced to write a review. Consistently brilliant pundits and comedians backed up by a 60% quality host - ok maybe 75% - make this a must-subscribe.
Used to be good
Used to be a must-listen to podcast, however it’s all got a bit pally-pally recently. Sounds like Colin just joined the sixth form. Pretty boring and predictable now. Colin’s love of American sports and hatred of cricket is nauseating.
It’s only worth listening to when Bunce or the Forest fan are on.
Sort it out ! Right out!
