    God bless Dan Patrick, I'm glad he's made it through healthy. But his absence made me appreciate how much I dislike listening to him and his antagonism. Bring the girls back. He's a horrible host.

  • bad

    Really poor podcast. Its WAY too negative and doesn’t focus on the good things. They shame people and they act like they could do any better, which they couldn’t. I do not recommend this podcast. Go out on the field and try to do what these players do. Don’t shame them for making a couple mistakes.

    You guys know that you can’t do any better so shut up. Goodbye, have a nice day.

  • 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
