Just a little suggestion. When you’re doing pods during the season, you should post Martin’s future broadcasting assignments in each episode’s show notes.
Longtime fan of Neil’s as a Chelsea supporter, and of course I grew up on the game with the 🐐 Martin. Hearing them both now on this weekly pod is just the best.
So glad to be able to listen to you again, Neil! Was a sad day when you left SiriusXm FC. Now to have the Great Martin Tyler dialoguing with you on this amazing podcast, I think we can all agree us American listeners are better off in the long run…
Great podcast guys, really enjoyed listening, especially the nostalgic look on the game, keep up the good work.
