  • Proper Citeh

    Top podcast from a proper proper blue, who’s enjoyed & respected all blues who go to the games....the dads n lads, the family’s & the rum young tanked up lads, not only cos we all see him travelling/watching the blues, but cos at some point, we’ve all relied on him for our City news/commentary etc, and we always got honest, to the point & passionate views from Mr Cheeseman.....something sadly lacking in much of the coverage of today’s Football Forza Cheesy Doin City Proud 😉

  • Disappointed

    I listen to this podcast to hear about City and football, not to hear a juvenile , ill informed lecture about covid vaccination. I am no longer going to the games and was attempting to stay connected to the club in a small way . This will be my last forever blue podcast .
