Have been listening for years but recently there has been a lot less world football chat. Tangents and subjects described as looking at the world through the ‘prism’ of football often have nothing to do with the game. The majority of the football based chat is to do with the leagues in this country and not with foreign leagues or competitions. Why have correspondents from other countries on if hours of the show is dedicated to English football subjects?
Please can we have a condensed version of the Podcast just on the football so I don’t have to keep skipping the singing and random chats.
The experts have so much in depth knowledge to listen to and that’s what a lot of people just want to hear. Please can Dotun just stay quiet and not sing!
Dotun and Legendinho are true masters of their craft. By far the best football show on radio. Keep up the great work gentlemen
Used to be best football show on the radio but the presenter won’t stop singing or interrupting people to make a really rubbish joke or off on a tangent I can listen to about 30 mins these days without turning it off
