  • 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.
