  • 🥱

    On-the-nose, cliche, spoon-fed opinions masquerading as originality. Indicative of the horrible UK press, except spat out by children who barely remember Fergie. Honestly, embarrassing analysis

  • Absolute Quality.

    Whether it’s therapeutic or celebratory, depending on the last game, Gaz and Joe always deliver great analysis and great banter. If only Erik ten Hag’s men were as consistent…

    Great listen, Joe and Gaz seem like decent lads and bring you along with their banter! Look forward to the episodes dropping so I can put my headphones in and pretend I’m on a call in the office, but get 20 minutes to myself! Awesome!
