Just discovered this excellent football podcast. As someone who no longer follows the game, it takes me back to when I loved it. Being a proper nerd, I'm starting from episode 1. Highly recommend
One of the best football podcasts around: intellectual without being dry, witty without being silly, and consistently informative. The fact they’re accurate on the topics I’m most knowledgeable about - namely Scottish football, Man United and ‘80s politics - means I tend to trust that they’re spot on on other topics, too.
