  • Guys, nice call…

    … Lady Alice’s Divided just needed to bring In a loyal, White, obedient sot to manage the side. Just like Gary, Alan, and the rest of the Fleet Street Bleep Stirrers whined. Look at Divided’s “excellence” on 11 January in the FA Cup. ***** ‘The Problem’ for Lady Alice’s cultists at Divided was that Ruben Amorim is NOT a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Like Lady Alice. Eternal bully and thug.

  • The Rest is Greatest

    This is incredible and I love when the lads like Thierry are on and keep it up. If you down because of ads you're dumb because it free they need to get paid and just skip them if you hate them soo much.

  • Spoiled by commercialisation

    Like a lot of reviewers, used to listen to this religiously every week. Sadly — and this isn’t the only podcast to suffer this fate — it feels like it’s lost its authenticity to me. Too many adverts, feels over commercialised and too self-aware now. Before, the appeal of podcasts like this was the fact it felt like an intimate conversation with mates. But I don’t get that from it any longer. Best episodes were the Euros!
