  • Black box?

    Bin the first Europe campaign in 30 years just as we get to the business end?!

    May as well put the club in a black box and bury it

    If it guaranteed survival, maybe.

    But it doesn’t!!!

  • Lovely stuff

    Great podcast, like the fact that the guests don’t always agree with each other and have a good debate.

    Best Forest podcast out there for me, Clive.
