Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 9k ratings
  • Audio only option

    As per the many comments it’s almost getting to a point where I can’t listen anymore due to the technical issues. Simply won’t play in my car through CarPlay and even as a simple podcast on my phone have various issues. Please don’t make me listen to the BBC, this is my favourite podcast for footy.

  • Audio Only Option Please!

    I was happy just listening to the podcast but it crashes many times since going to video. I end up having to watch it in YouTube which I resent. This and Football Weekly are still my favourite sports podcasts though.

  • 5 Stars for Content; 1 Star for Tech Integration

    The show is great of course but ever since they’ve been including video, the integration with Apple Podcasts has been poor. I cannot download an episode and play it offline. This is the only podcast series that gives me problems.

Shocked Arsenal head to Anfield as Carrick’s United go to Chelsea
Q: Did you feel sorry for him at all, Jay?

Kane wins the Ballon d’Or! And Real win El Clasico!
Q: Do you think it's the right decision?

Bayern v Arsenal & PSG v Barca headline Champions League week
Q: How much pressure is on Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri ahead of the Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt?
James Horncastle says pressure is mounting after Napoli's poor start and weak recent league results. The club may wait until the international break before deciding on Allegri, with dismissal costly, while upcoming matches against Bodø/Glimt and Roma add urgency.
