  • Literally the worst podcast

    Just gathered all the worst pundits, most of which personalities similar to a lump of cheese. Also ponced the soundtrack of the superior podcast from “The Upshot” with genuine geezers

  • Poor Jill

    She can’t get a word in edgeways which becomes cringe worthy it’s that noticeable. Otherwise favourite football podcast.

  • Advert podcast with a little football talk

    It feels like there are ads every 2 seconds. The guests and conversations are usually good but it can be frustrating as they love to talk over each other

  • Lots of overlap chatter

    Not much from Jill, and generally gets spoken over when she puts her 5p in anyway

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stallone: Rocky Secrets, Rambo Stories & Schwarzenegger Rivalry | Stick to Football EP 154
Q: Why was that? How would you explain that? What was it in their lives, your parents, that made them the way they were with you?
Stallone says his father felt uneducated and professionally frustrated, and reacted physically to perceived slights. He describes his father as a tortured person who struggled to express himself, and says he later came to accept him.
Stallone: Rocky Secrets, Rambo Stories & Schwarzenegger Rivalry | Stick to Football EP 154
Q: How much did you have to fight to get the part of Rocky?
Stallone says the filmmakers initially did not want him because he had few credits and was not a conventional movie star. He felt he had to play the role himself, despite being offered a substantial amount to give it up, because the story drew on his own experience and he feared becoming a bitter, unfulfilled man if he sold out.
Martinez’s United Outburst, Gerrard’s Wirtz Warning & City’s Title Dilemma | Stick to Football EP 153
Q: Why are you confident Florian Wirtz can turn his difficult Liverpool form around?
Steven Gerrard says Wirtz has the talent to recover, but his confidence appears low and his performances for Germany show a different level of assurance. Gerrard recommends support, returning to basics and possibly a short spell out of the team, rather than writing him off.
Martinez’s United Outburst, Gerrard’s Wirtz Warning & City’s Title Dilemma | Stick to Football EP 153
Q: Should Lisandro Martinez have made his comments about Manchester United's hierarchy and recruitment publicly?
The panel disagrees about a player's right to speak openly, but several members say the timing was unhelpful and that his comments could undermine teammates. They debate whether his motives, performance and standing in the dressing room affect how his remarks should be received.
Bale's United Move, Gerrard's Liverpool Return & Best Guest Moments | Stick to Football
Q: What are your thoughts on the initial situation at Tottenham and the pivot the club is making?
The guest explains that the club's instability isn't solely down to one manager and that broader structural and strategic changes, plus leadership turnover, have created uncertainty; the true objective should be clarity and consistency to allow a footballing plan to take root.
