I love this podcast! It makes my day, I actually wish it was daily! Thanks Max and Barry
Have listened to this pod since the days of AC Jimbo and is now a shadow of its former self. Max and Barry are usually good value, but having so many guests makes things wildly inconsistent. I love hearing the likes of Auclair, Ronay, Wilson and Onuoha as they analyse topics and provide interesting insights. But some of the newer guests are unlistenable. Noz Choudry and John Brewin come to mind. They basically come across as loudmouth social media personalities. I find myself skipping new episod... more
So I heard about this podcast as an ad on another podcast so I thought I’d give it a shot. However, it appears they only talk about the same four or five clubs every single episode. So I gave it a shot but today I’m giving it an Unfollow.
Was a big fan but finding the analysis poor these days. The newer cohort of guest aren't up it. The Aston Villa fan is awful, great about Villa but doesn't know anything about any other teams. Monday club on Five Live is better.
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.
