  • At its best it’s untouchable

    When FW has its best line up (Barry, Johnny, Jonathan, Barney, Phillipe) it’s a wonderful podcast. By far the best football podcast out there. Sadly they rarely seem to be able to assemble the A team, and we are often left with far less talent. Everyone on it seems absolutely lovely, and efforts to be inclusive should be applauded but the quality of the discourse is just nowhere near as good. Max is a good host, despite not being able to ask proper questions, which is remarkable. It’s still wort... more

  • Used to be the best football podcast

    I have been listening since before the Totally breakaway, but it’s become increasingly hit and miss. Jonathan Wilson and Barney Ronay are both excellent but appear far too seldom, Barry is becoming increasingly tedious to listen to, and John Brewin is just insufferable, thinks he knows everything and wants everyone to know that. Time for a refresh!

  • Could be 5

    Love the pod except for auclair. Unlistenable and an insufferable homer. Will only endure it if Bandini is also on the panel. Ex auclair it’s 5 stars.

  • The unbearable Jonathan Wilson just can't help himself.

    City fans apparently ruined the tribute to Ricky Hatton by clapping for 90 seconds instead of 60.

    Thank God I'm not as soulless as this incessantly virtue-signalling tripe
