  • Banal

    Bloke is a fan of James O’Brien,reason enough to avoid but add to that his smugness and that should convince anyone to find one of the much better AFC pods

  • Diversity

    Sorry Tom - unsubscribed. Enough with the need for diversity. You want diversity in a cockpit of an airplane, or the best pilots? Soccer is no different, ok? Bye bye*

    *Figured I’d give this pod another spin and it’s the same. Too many moral lessons and long winded speeches from the almighty and always righteous TC. Thankfully I found the Latte Firm and Highbury Squad to add to my reg 6 AFC pods. This one is a def no.

  • Horrible

    Tom is never wrong

    Even when he is wrong he is right

    Stopped listening for a month to see if I was being biased but no, this is an absolutely horrible podcast

    Can’t admit any wrong opinions

    Way too confrontational with the people who call in or oppose his opinion

  • Great show

    Loads of effort Tom puts into this show. It’s a great show every day.

    Some of these reviews are so sad that people have put in effort to write such horrible reviews because they are sad wet wipes, while maybe different options can be maybe less welcomed it is still a great show. And these horrible people could just not listen if they don’t like it. Thank you. Great work Tom.

  • Not the best place for balanced discussion

    Tom is very good at bringing strong opinions to bear. Less good at entertaining opinions that differ from his own. If you prefer less preachy options they are in abundance and easy to find.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Arsenal News Show EP701 - Havertz Boost | January Window Decisions & Villa Warning | Arsenal Phone-In
Q: If you can have one player, just one player for this January window, who do you think we should get?
Of those two areas, I'd be more inclined to go to the defensive side just because, of course, Kai Havertz is now expected to come back.
The Arsenal News Show EP699 - Could Ethan Nwaneri Leave Arsenal? Festive Fixture Chaos & Brighton Preview
Q: What club or manager would suit Ethan for a loan?
He could benefit from playing regularly in the Premier League or even in German football, where the pressing elements might help his development.
