  • Can do Better

    Partisan commentary and swallowed words detract from what could be a great show.

  • Basically propaganda

    Nothing quality here, only what they want you to think.

  • Scotland is a home nation too

    I usually enjoy Cheat Sheet, but the latest episode was a bit disappointing. They said that we’d find out who was in England’s group for the World Cup, yet somehow didn’t include Scotland at all. It felt like an odd omission and left the update feeling incomplete. Hopefully future episodes give a fuller picture of the home nations.
