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…
