    I love this pod, it’s the best one I’ve found in English. I like that they mix in a bunch of different talking points about the team (not just talking game strategy or reviewing matches).

Bravo lads! Keep it up and stay pos... more

  • Tony is part of the racism issue

    I like this podcast. Tony’s defense of the Spanish football racism problem shows that he’s part of the problem. “Methinks he protest too much.”
