  • Marmite

    To say it is an acquired taste is something of an understatement. I'm referring to the podcast not the yeast based savoury spread, but I haven't stopped listening..........yet !!

    Forest fan since 1975, not a Jonny come lately like Mr CS.

  • Ladyman: Genius or thick as mince? Still undecided.

    Ian Ladyman straddles the line between stealth football genius and someone who’s absolutely thick as mince — it’s hard to tell, and that’s half the charm. The dry delivery, the sideways digs, the oddly insightful rants… whatever it is, it makes for top-tier listening.

  • Keeps getting better and better!

    What I want to know is why does the season start before the end of the transfer window?

    Also why does the season start before the International players get back from their delayed break?

  • This pod without comedy

    Take the comedy out of this podcast and it’s like having coffee without caffeine!

    Pretty boring without a kick!

    The more of a laugh the better gents!

    Chris’s dog running around with his neighbours arm is a thought I can’t get out of my mind!

    Maybe that says more about me than you two!
