4.6 out of 5 stars from 8.9k ratings
  • Tom Williams ruins it

    Sensational podcast, AC Jimbo still the best and a great range of guests. Immediately switch off when Williams talks as he inflects the last syllable of every sentence and it is breathtakingly annoying. Poor football knowledge and is not as funny as he thinks he is, amazing he keeps getting asked back. A 5 star podcast but Williams is a 0 star addition.

  • Really enjoy…

    Really enjoy the podcast. However, there are some technical issues.

    • Won’t play sometimes and when it does, I’ll suddenly hear the adverts over the top of the podcast

    • it’ll randomly stop playing after a few minutes and have to start the podcast again

    The comments on Haaland post beating Brazil “the first time you might like the smile when not wearing that corporate shirt” he maybe for the first time realized it’s not just about him” disgraceful
