Loving Strain on the Game! Stephen Warnock takes you right back to late 2000’s football with brilliant behind-the-scenes stories. Proper insight, plenty of banter and loads of nostalgia. If you grew up watching football in that era, you’ll love it.
Great listen, gives you a completely different perspective on football rather than just being on the fans side. Having the different perspectives from Adrian & Stephen really help to open your eyes into what really goes on
I’m a football fan and love fitness so this podcast is both entertaining and extremely insightful! Looking forward to future episodes.
Really enjoyed the episodes so far. An insightful and honest take on the game and behind the scenes. Great chemistry between the presenters. Really interesting discussions into,not just the game itself, but the fitness, science, diet etc behind it. Would strongly recommend
Absolutely loving this podcast. It’s not just another football chat. Stephen and Adrian discuss into the stuff you don’t normally hear about. Really honest, funny in parts, and full of stuff that makes you see football differently. Can’t wait for more episodes.
