Although a bit morbid, feel like I have to contribute my song to Dan’s list of songs to play at your funeral. Here is mine. “Beat You there” Will Dempsey. Great podcast. The only one I listen to every week., well twice a week!!
Look forward to this one Mondays and Thursdays. Dan and Flav avoid hyperbole and deliver what seem to be two mates chatting about football and life in general always entertaining and often funny. Excellent!
Great pod as usual. I used to use the regulator when I was drunk. It would stop the room from spinning. Question for the pod, considering Romero averages 1 yellow card per 3 fouls is it safe to ask if he gets ref differently?
As an Arsenal fan I’ve heard Dan a few times. I love that he does a general football pod. Absolutely identify with the way he talks about the beautiful game. It’s great to hear someone who sounds like an educated mate that stands next to you on the terrace.
An American Spurs fan here who now lives in Scotland. This is so brilliant that I could gloss over the slight jibe on my people. Keep up the good work. COYS.

Two-host football podcast blends sharp club-level analysis with playful, pub-chat banter. Led by Dan Cook and Flav Batemen, it covers big transfer stories, ownership questions, media narratives, and the economics shaping modern football, all through a candid, opinion-forward lens. Episodes lean into governance, gossip, and fan culture, often pairing serious takes with humorous asides, making it a solid fit for listeners who want candid discourse from two well-connected football commentators. A notable strength is the duo's balanced dynamic—rational analysis and emotional, reaction-driven takes—that keeps conversations brisk even when topics get contentious.
