To the pundits - don’t anticipate TC’s question and begin to answer because TC will continue asking the question regardless. So, just wait until he’s asked the question which will include all possible answers before answering- it will make for a pleasanter listening experience.
Really enjoy the pod and listen to every episode.
It benefits from a rotation of guests but is always better when Alyson Rudd is on the panel.
There are some excellent episodes but far too often, the panel fall back into their comfort zone of only discussing the usual suspects Man U/C, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs and they appear to have no knowledge or interest in any other clubs
Good insight and analysis, variety of contributors to this podcast. Tom Clarke great presenter. Jonathan Northcroft and Tom Allnut are excellent. Gregor’s views add value. Tom Roddy and Ian Hawkey are both very good. I like Alison’s takes.
