  • Dragged out far too long

    Enjoyed the first couple of series. Then it turned into every w@nky fan podcast you’ve ever heard with 3 pretentious smug twerps beating a dead horse whilst pretending to laugh at each others poor gags.

  • Was good until Josh and Michael left

    Used to be absolutely brilliant with Josh and Michael discussing 90s football but unfortunately these two guys left and the new version about the 2000s isn’t good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Henning Wehn on German Football - Part 1 (QK Reloaded)
Q: How did your experience traveling with Lothar Matthäus influence your view of football culture in Germany vs. Britain?
It highlighted the contrast between German sporting pride and British club-centric fandom, showing how national success often feels more meaningful to fans abroad, while club loyalty remains paramount at home.
Mike Ingham - Part 2 (QK Reloaded)
Q: How did you approach reporting during historic events like Heysel or the Diana funeral?
In tough moments you balance professional duty with empathy, staying focused on the broadcast while acknowledging the gravity of events, and you learn from those recordings to refine your approach for future coverage.
Mike Ingham - Part 2 (QK Reloaded)
Q: What is the secret to being a good radio commentator?
The secret is to speak directly to one listener at a time, set the scene, keep the score updated, and clearly communicate the geography of the pitch so the audience can follow the action.
Andy Townsend - Part 1 (QK Reloaded)
Q: What was Jack Charlton's management style like?
Townsend describes Charlton as a leader with a deep personal connection to players, who could relate to younger and older squad members, controlled the dressing room with a clear, relentless approach, and combined firmness with warmth, creating a distinct leadership style that could both demand and inspire respect.
Andy Townsend - Part 1 (QK Reloaded)
Q: How did your call-up to the Ireland team come about pre-internet times?
Townsend explains that his heritage and a chance connection with Tony Cascorino helped him get noticed by Jack Charlton, and that the Ireland move happened quickly once Charlton reached out; he emphasizes the era's pathway from non-league beginnings to international selection.
