I’ve been listening to Football Weekly from the day Man Utd sacked David Moyes, and I’ve barely missed an episode since. It’s funny, insightful, morally righteous and has been there for me in the best and worst of times both on and off the pitch.
Despite week one results I still have Hull going down and Coventry surviving. Other than Arsenal looking strongest, it does feel like a wide open “Leicester” season.
Good chit chat. Interesting guests. Nice topics. The way Max moderates the podcast is just so nice and funny. Love Barry and Johnny, don’t like Jordan, John B
If you only want to listen to one or two football pods regularly… do yourself a favor and choose this one. The first one I listen to in the (US) morning. Bravo, chaps
This has been my favorite podcast and must listen for many years now. Max as host is hilarious and knows how to bring the right crew together. Love Barry, Barney, Johnathan, Nicky, Jordan and the rest of the crew. Great updates and analysis and even better banter!
