    I really love the podcasts. Mainly watch, but do listen. A bit like Youtube I wish on the podcast App/Spotify etc I wish they were all listed in blocks.

    It was what it was.

    The Overlap exclusive interviews

    The fan debates etc.

    I don’t listen to them all just stick to football and the overlap interviews

  • Shows taken a nose dive

    Making statements and having discussions just for clicks as the show goes on. Latest content was laughable, Scholes clearly has a chip on his shoulder probably because his beloved Man U are a laughing stock now.
