Keep up the good work
This is really good. Hosted by Matt Davis-Adams who deserves a national platform and with good pundits like Liam Twomey, Simon Johnson (but please stop laughing at your own jokes), Sam Parkin, Cerys Jones. Only weak spot is Luke Bosher who rambles on and on …. and on! Otherwise it’s a great pod, well delivered and very honest about the club
Only the phenomenal SOC pod kept me going this season. Our owners and SDs wanted to replicate the success of Brighton and they succeeded. Won 14, lost 14. Mission accomplished. Well done.
As a true blue but also a fan of the sport who reads alot of football in general is this one of the must for me.
Simon Johnson has kept me sane for last 9 months. Great show, best one for Chelsea for sure and we need more Simon
