I could listen to another four hours on the Figo transfer story ALONE! If you love football AND history then this is the pod for you. What a show

Wilson and Draper are legends for a reason. If you have a deep knowledge and love of football or just (like me) coming in fresh, this show is the context to football past and present
Apple Podcasts5poortropeUnited Statesa month ago - Great podcast
Really enjoyable, intelligent listening for some time but has now sadly lost its way in pursuit of a bigger audience. We know why you’re doing *four* episodes on the NASL or two on Figo’s transfer to Real.
When it was a pod about people I’d only faintly heard about I felt I was being informed. When it’s pods on Guardiola I just feel like I’m being fed product.
