  • Embarrassingly bad

    The interview with Eddie Pepperell was awful. Who does the interviewer think he is to say Eddie has let himself or his fans down? To suggest that Eddie hasn’t tried hard enough or hasn’t listened to coaches or anyone else in order to improve is patronising at best and at worst shows how little the interviewer knows about top level sport.

  • Low rent summary of sport and the economics of how it works

    Couple of guys who patently know nothing about competitive sport never mind the economics, nor the fan view. The Scottish bloke is laughable, sounds like a wee guy who was bullied at school and hates anyone taller than him. Life’s too short, avoid.

  • Terrific, every time

    Sensational blend of knowledge, experience, and a genuine care for today’s sport fan (and industry professional). Show hosts with a terrific ability to cut through the noise of an industry with so much global attention surrounding it. They get to the heart of sport’s ‘soul’ with such precision and humanity. A must listen.

  • Good podcast but…

    It’s been called the Premier League for over a decade. Roger calling it the “Premiership” is driving me mad!
