  • Insightful, engaging and always well measured.

    I love this podcast for a number of reasons! I’ve been listening to it for about three years now and didn’t stop listening after James Rushton left (despite that being a disappointment and thinking I would) as Cole and Danny are great hosts! One of the main reasons for this is that that are well prepared, objective and fair. They have a natural rapport with each other too. If Villa play badly, they admit that and deconstruct the reasons why. It’s insightful, engaging and always well measured.
