This podcast is fantastic. Well thought out and better than the usual podcast churned out with a bit more thought. Good knowledge from All the journalists especially Delaney and Horncastle.
Every time City is winning or mentioned, there’s always the “charges”, “state-owned”, blah blah along with the conversation. No mention of how this new batch of young City players are good enough to win, give them their flowers.
I tried to find Libero on Discord but without a clue from the hosts of how to do this I’ve given you 4*
Huge praise must go to producer Tom trying to whittle down the content from these superb journalists - thanks to you all. Hours of laughter and intelligent wisdom already in the first century of episodes I have listened to. Thank you to the team for all the time and effort you have already put in - looking forward to the next century of episodes!
As said so by me.

The show centers on football with a focus on the sport's business, culture, and global context. Episodes thread together deep reporting, historical context, and thoughtful debates about ownership, broadcasting, and the social implications of the game, often going beyond match analysis to explore how money, media, and governance shape the football landscape. Notable strengths include a rotating panel of veteran football writers delivering erudite, articulate takes and a willingness to critique institutions while spotlighting underexplored angles and international perspectives. This makes it particularly appealing to listeners who want substantial, well-sourced conversations about football that go beyond the scoreline and punditry.
