Simply the best football podcast there is. Also more James Pierce!

James Richardson is not the best host, he keeps stopping in the middle of the sentence for no reason, not the best, could try to change. However the content on this podcast is still great.

It’s a pretty good podcast, but I had to stop listening because I couldn’t cope with the volume of ads. It felt like I was skipping several advert breaks, multiple times per episode. Even if you do skip the breaks, now actual segments of the podcast are sponsored, so it’s impossible to avoid.

no more Adrian Arsenal Clarke. for the love of god. Otherwise, simply the best UK based football pod, by far. (Only Second Captains, Irish, on football is as good...or possibly better, heresy I know.) The Jimbo/Honigstein bromance is beautiful, real and dare I say, sweet. No wonder Glendenning is so bitter. On a side note. Laurens is a buffoon and shouldn’t be on, and certainly shouldn’t be allowed talk about France or PSG. Not a real journalist. Gallic apologist. PS Never, ever again allow Rafa Honigstein to go backpacking across Europe or whatever it was he did on his Guardiola sabbatical. Not the same without him. but for the love of all that is holy please please please dump Adrian Clarke who is simply an Arsenal booster. He is unlistenable.

Then the host felt it was appropriate to tell His listeners that he only cares about the ones following on blue sky. Once again, far left has to put themselves in an echo chamber and pretend to have morals, while using an app that has had “protect minor attracted persons” trend multiple times, that has celebrated any violent and murderours attempts on people’s lives (including United healthcare ceo), while also constantly promoting anti-semitism… only for the host to tell us that people that use blue sky are better than those “on the old app” (his words) and that he basically ignores any questions we send in via X. British journalists are the worst

Listeners, we are so lucky. Carl Anka is smarter than the rest of us, he’s smarter than everyone working at the top level of the game … he could literally do anything, but — Bless — he has decided to spend his life second-guessing the split-second decisions of 19-year-olds under an intensity of pressure he’ll never know. I mean, with his enormous intelligence, he could have reshaped the field of particle physics, but instead he writes books for 3 year olds and has Real Big Thoughts about Manchester United’s midfield. Hey, maybe we could put him and Duncan Alexander into the same pod and fire it into the sun? Then they could finally realize their destiny to be rocket scientists and we could all go back to enjoying football.

Good podcast

I don’t think Laurens can truly like a player until they have heinous sex crimes known about them, it’s honestly impressive, he just does it for the love of the game

James Richardson is a tough listen. Great idea for a show with a not so great host. Make Matt-Davies Adams the host.

I used to love this pod but I feel like it’s declined in recent years. Rotating guests make it difficult for the host to have chemistry with them. Duncan is a lovely bloke but can be a bit of a tough listen - he just throws out stats and references that don’t add much to the conversation. He’s not a great analyst or storyteller.
