“It’s Still A Foul!”
The Drunken Sot whined on 4 March after Manchester Divided were again humiliated by Man City. Reminded listeners how The Drunken Sot soiled his integrity when Lady Alice covered his pub tab. *** “I had no inkling it was coming,” Andy Hunter at 2:01 29 January on the start of Klopp’s Retirement Tour. Perfectly sums up the awareness and knowledge of Taylor, The Drunken Sot, and Giggling Maxi. *** We Want More! 9:40 of the pod on 29 December 2023, Maxi claimed Arsenal needed to “stick it in the mixer” during its humiliating failure nil-2 vs West Ham, and Nicky Bandini quickly ground up Maxi before he ran to another feeble angle. We Want More! More of Ms. Bandini quickly slicing and dicing Maxi! More of Ms. Bandini helping Maxi humiliate himself! We Want More!
Max and Barry
There is just something soothing to listen to the contrasting personalities of Max and Barry. They are the Odd Couple of football podcasts and their enduring relationship (or lack thereof) during troubled times is something to make you smile when everything around is such a stench.
