Too many podcasts/ videos jumping on negativity. I’ve watched James’ videos and content for years and it’s consistently refreshing to have positive or neutral angles to popular football discourse. Even if draws on negatives with a team it’s not emotional and is based on performance data and often puts a positive spin to fans
Love the show James. Please no more insufferable Man U homers as guests❤️
Like getting the video on the other platform, but just a massive JLA supporter. Especially for us US soccer fans
