  • Thought I’d check this out again after previous bad experiences

    This show claims it is “as essential as it ever was for football fans everywhere.” Well, if you’re an Arsenal or Man U fan, sure. Not so much everyone else. I listened to 4 recent shows and it’s still got that ‘football bore in a pub’ vibe. Except now it is more about those two clubs than ever. Maybe that’s who their marketing suggests are the fans who listen. There’s no way this stuff deserves five stars.

  • The best football pod there is

    This is the best football pod there is and I would happily have a beer/ribena/frozen sausage with every single one of the Ramblers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: What’s going wrong at Aston Villa?
Q: Is Matty Cash the solution by playing up top?
Moving Matty Cash up top is questionable, as Villa's issues seem to be more deeply rooted in tactics and player morale rather than just personnel changes.
Mailbag: What’s going wrong at Aston Villa?
Q: How worried should Villa fans realistically be?
Villa fans should be quite concerned given their poor start to the season, especially considering they have only scored one goal in five league matches and are lacking creativity and tactical fluidity.
Mailbag: Will Spurs survive the Champions League?
Q: With the Champions League returning, do you think Spurs have enough to sustain their form throughout the season?
The hosts discuss Spurs' depth in their squad and believe they can sustain their form, especially under Thomas Frank's management.
Mailbag: Are England going backwards under Thomas Tuchel?
Q: Is Elliot Anderson the answer to balance England's midfield?
He could be a viable option if he adapts well to international football and showcases his talents.
Mailbag: Are England going backwards under Thomas Tuchel?
Q: Can you see Tuchel adopting an outscore the opposition at all costs approach?
It's unlikely he will, as he might prefer a more cautious approach against stronger opponents.
