  • Consistently brilliant

    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.
