- Less misery, more joy - still five stars but not this ep.
I understand that the Libero USP is often old farts moaning about the state of football - and sometimes that is exactly what I need - but this latest episode of the World Cup 'review' was way too much. It ended up being miserable and gloomy. Rory has too much football to watch, but John can't see enough matches as World Cups get played outside of Europe. There are not enough people following the World Cup while simultaneously too many people are following it, so Jonathon has to miss his Uber and... more

United Kingdoma month ago Genuinely valuable analysis of the nuts and bolts of the game from a gaggle of very well informed "which was nice" journos terminally projecting their particular epistemic bubble.
Chummy banter present but well within the expected middle management professional boundaries pioneered by the Manchester Guardian.
Like passing out at Caffè Nero in Broadcasting House, but still being conscious enough to hear the inclusive chit chat.
Probably needs a lil bit more Ballardian/Eric & Ernie edge tbh.

Apple Podcasts2DanhuzUnited Kingdoma month ago - The men who don’t stare at GOATs
A football pod that doesn’t think that thing which happened last weekend is the single greatest/worst/embarrassing/sensational thing to ever grace the game. Big themes and well presented by a bunch of writers who genuinely seem to admire one another. It’ll never last but download it while it does!
