  • The Best. Period

    Been a listener for over 5 years. Jack & Dean (and sometimes Sam) are the best in the biz. Absolutely loved “The Truth” also being added to the mix every Friday last season. This channel is simply a must-subscribe for the soccer-obsessed

  • Absolutely Brilliant

    Really enjoy Jack (“the encyclopedia of football”) on Sirius XM - was very happy to find this podcast. As a fellow long-suffering Fulham Fan - nice to have another dimension to help my therapy and recovery. So much better than those guys on “Week in the Tackle” 😉. Eric from DFW
