  • Great podcasts, almost 1/4th is now ads

    Fantastic podcast, a football institution. 10 mins of ads across three breaks is just too much for me. Can always join the acast for ad free but feel like I’m being forced there rather than encouraged

  • Bias and lack of football knowledge

    Only Luke and Jim are worth listening to. Pete Donaldson is just screaming around and talking non-football content 90% of the time. Whatever the current topic is, Marcus always end up discussing Fulham.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Mailbag: Can Bellingham, Palmer & Foden play together?
Q: How do you feel about the rumored expansion of the championship playoffs from four teams to six teams?
There is a concern that it might dilute the integrity of the league and the quality of promotion.
Mailbag: Can Bellingham, Palmer & Foden play together?
Q: Is our team more balanced without forcing two or even all three into it?
There hasn't been much difference between 8th and 6th in recent seasons, so it could be manageable in quality.
