Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 93 ratings
  • Being critical of performance ok, personal attacks on players Is not.

    I have been subscribe for 6 months and in general enjoy the pod and the analysis. But am turned off by the persistent name calling of certain players. I listen to a lot of arsenal pods and they find ways of talking about important issues, and being critical of a player form while not making it a personal attack.
