  • Ed Gamble’s annoying interruptions

    I love football which is why I listen to this podcast

    Why on earth would I want an advert about whatever “The traitors” is? Some banal, reality tv brain rot by the sound of things.

    Ditch the adverts, or at least keep them to sport if you must.

    Stop dumbing down.

  • LOST IT

    This was the best football podcast for many years. Sadly, the BBC has gone the same way as SKY. They cut straight to the final whistle and have the commentators batting over the blaring noise of PA’s, music and fans cheering. It’s a bloody mess

  • What happened?

    What happened to this podcast? It used to be fantastic. Now they’ve got the likes of Luke Edwards on it, who just regurgitate pub football talk and clearly have a dislike of certain teams. Shame.
