This is an outstanding podcast. Three mates relaxing and chatting about football, offering honest opinions—good or bad (hence the title). Paddy, a genuine football fan, asks grounded, down-to-earth questions to both football legends and their special guests. He poses the kinds of questions every fan would ask to uncover great behind-the-scenes stories. If you’re looking for an unbiased, no-agenda, relaxed football podcast that covers the game and everything around it, this is the one for you.

Scholesy has been someone I’ve looked up to since I was a kid. I don’t think he realizes the weight of his words. It’s not just the comments about Carrick that was hurtful, but the fact that he tried to convince all of us that he didn’t mean it that way. Like we’re all just morons who will believe anything he says. He still holds a special place in my heart and always will, but I’m not going to support his platform anymore.
This is a really good insightful pod but Nicky just talks over the guests when they are mid story to talk about his own experience of whatever the guest is saying.
It’s just so sad. So so sad.
Although i’m a Newcastle and Carlisle fan, absolutely love the show. Manc lads need to pronounce their H’s though😂. Brilliant show👏👏👏
