  • Crystal Palace win Community Shield

    One of the worst podcasts for sport I’ve ever listened to. After Palace beat Liverpool to win their second ever major trophy I expected a balanced review of the match and some insight into the game. The ENTIRE show was just about Liverpool (the team that LOST). Any opportunity to turn it around to talk about how great they are and how great they will be. The presenters were all fading ex-pro’s who wouldn’t ever be able to get a prominent job in the football media in the UK as they’re so flat and... more

  • This podcast is a good way to 😎 relax.

    This podcast is a great way to relax. Despite the controversies and arguments that happen every day on ESPN especially with Moreno, the jokes are a good laugh. You guys are way more consistent than other football podcasts and I like that you talk about football all around the world unlike other podcasts that might only talk about Europe or some boring Indian league. Overall, this is a great podcast. However, there is no deep game analysis from the crew and they like to talk about the game as a w... more

  • Not giving respect on people or teams

    Sometimes I feel like your are not giving respect on players like Mbappe (during when he wasn’t doing good) or Ronaldo. At some point you got to give a 40 year old Cristiano Ronaldo some credit for actually playing at the level he is instead of saying it’s to much. There are teams like Man City or Real Madrid who are having ONE bad season when City have been dominating for the past 5 years and Madrid guys they are Real Madrid.. Also me personally I think you guys talk over each other to much but... more
