  • SXSW Show

    Fun to hear everyone live from Austin. Barry’s take was much anticipated, and not a disappointment.

    One would hope that the fun they had and hospitality they enjoyed in Texas might reduce the general criticism of all things USA. It’s going to be the greatest World Cup ever.

  • Intolerance and prejudice

    Not really a big fan of Barry’s intolerance, hatred and criticism of England. This wouldn’t (rightly) be acceptable towards another nation, and nor should it be here. I’d expect better from The Guardian. But the support and tolerance for Glendenning’s belittlement of England is worse than the man’s actual actual racism.

  • Very good.

    Lot of fun. Host is fantastic. Unless Robyn Cow is on it. She’s awful. Truly awful.

  • Women’s football

    I believe there’s a sister podcast to this called The Guardian’s Women Football Podcast? Does it discuss the men’s game at all? I’ve not listened, as have no interest in the Women’s game. But I’m going to presume it doesn’t.

    If that’s the case, why do I have to listen to sections on the women’s game in the main podcast? Stop trying to be all things to all people and please just concentrate on what the vast majority of your listeners undoubtedly want.
