  • Ramble On

    Two of the best pods this Friday in such a long time. Great to hear Vish relinquish the belt alongside some typically Ramblesque football stylings. A great line-up without an overbearing gilet wearer to dominate proceedings

  • Changed my life

    I checked out the Portsmouth subreddit because of Luke. Months later I accidentally cross posted something unrelated to that community. The people were so nice and funny so u became a fan. Why would you do this to me, Luke?

  • Now a london based pod

    Used to be a good podcast but some line up changes have led to a south based london focus. Far too much focus on International football

  • Redknapp

    Love the pod, but Harry Redknapp didn’t relegate Birmingham City. He actually took the job with 3 games to go and won 2 of them and kept us in the Championship. He was then offered the job permanently and was sacked after a poor start to the season.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: How should we judge new signings?
Q: What changes have we seen in how fans and clubs view new signings over the years?
The panel notes that with bigger transfer fees and intense media scrutiny, expectations have shifted toward faster judgments, but there is still room to evaluate a player's fit over time, considering factors like injuries, adaptation, and team dynamics.
Mailbag: Who’s getting relegated from the Premier League this season?
Q: What are the odds on forest surviving relegation?
The odds are about six to one, with Wolves, Burnley, and West Ham heavily favored to be relegated.
Mailbag: Should clubs refund fans after thrashings?
Q: Do you feel that history is taken far too seriously in football?
I don't think history has taken far too seriously; it should be cherished, but there are different types of history that deserve respect.
Mailbag: Should clubs refund fans after thrashings?
Q: Isn't watching a shocking performance every so often just part of the roller coaster we'll sign up for?
Yes, it is part of the experience, but the question revolves around the ethics of expecting refunds after such performances.
Mailbag: Are Arsenal officially the title favourites?
Q: Can we officially call Arsenal title favourites now? What would it take for them to stutter?
The hosts agree that Arsenal are favorites due to their performance and clear points lead, and suggest that injuries or tactical adjustments from opponents could cause them to falter.
