Probably good if you're a man united fan as it's basically a man united podcast.
Great podcast as a United fan but ffs stop eating on a podcast, it is literally unlistenable especially with earphones in.
Was a good listen at first, but it needs renaming as a Man Utd podcast, it’s a tough listen after a few episodes
Stop chewing food on podcasts it’s the worst thing to listen too
Was initially excited by this. Two of my favourite players and a comical presenter but the constant negativity and poor prep; stating they don’t watch games they are talking about. No insight beyond it’s not as good as when I was playing. Don’t bother.

The tone is informal, Northern-authentic, and unapologetically opinionated, appealing to fans who want honest conversations, no executive-box polish, and plenty of barroom chat about the sport they love.
Noteworthy strengths include a strong host dynamic that anchors freewheel... more
