My week wouldn’t be complete without football cliches! Witty, funny and genuinely charming podcast
Enough said!
Great podcast. Surely the reason a murder is a Taggart is because Taggarts famous catchphrase
was … “there’s been a murder” in an impossibly strong Glaswegian accent?
The best football podcast going.
I love these guys (and I know this is essentially universal now, at least for sport podcasts) but in the most recent ep I listened to I heard (approximately) seven minutes of gambling ads, four minutes of which were at the top of the episode (the first Coral ad alone ran to 2’15”).

Noteworthy is the recurring focus on language as a lens for understanding football narratives, plus frequent sponsor reads that blend organically with the conversation.
