The must “go to” show on football. The chemistry between the hosts makes this an easy listen. But the information that they impart is all there. A guilty pleasure.
This started off great. However it seems like they cannot talk for longer than 30 seconds about anyone other than the “Superleague 6”. To the point where they this week referred to the current top 4, which contains two of these teams, and STILL managed to not mention any other club!
They never offer anything insightful into the other 14, not even worth listening to now
Great podcast but it should really be called “The Rest is the Big Six (plus Newcastle) and a couple clubs in Germany and Spain. Most of the conversation is around those 11-12 clubs and the rest of us are just out of luck
After Alan’s rant about football finance being biased to the big clubs and against his beloved Newcastle, I have been shocked by the podcast’s endless focus on the big clubs.
I had started listening to the pod again after my beloved tractor boys were promoted but in 4 weeks of the season they have been mentioned only in passing each week.
Perhaps the podcast should be renamed as “the rest is the big six”
This is a great podcast and Micah has the best team
