  • Bullying with a hint of Racism

    I listen to your podcast — the best of the worst, as far as the white, blokish football podcasts go — even if the women and black contributors you have on are, of course, expected to fall in line with your behaviours like everyone else.

    But I have to take issue with what you said about Alexander Isak. You seemed to relish in the agony he was put through by the fans, holding it up against the glorious virtue of Kevin Keegan. All I'll say is: stop it.
