Used to listen religiously but the ads have gotten so bad I’ve given up.
If you like adverts then this is the podcast for you. If you like football there are plenty of better ones out there.
Alan shearer is my hero. I love Micah and Gary. I love this show. But the ads is becoming ridiculous guys come on, I know you need to make money. But all 3 of you aren’t exactly trying to make it. I don’t mind the adverts. But there so long and so many. Think of the people, this show is the best. Please don’t taint it. Love you guys and your show. This is all from love.
I really enjoy the pod, but the recent practice of abrupt ads stopping the content 5 mins in is terrible. The amount of ad breaks too, and then having the “first bite delivered by U*** E***”, it’s just ads, ads, ads and more ads now
Long time listener and used to love this. For me this pod has lost its way. Bringing Alex in - who is a super smart and engaging presenter - is odd when there are so many really good female ex pros. Rarely any proper insights, sadly . Commentators View and MNC are much more interesting, funny and insightful. Shame.
