  • Really excellent.

    Joe ties it all together but we have to mention John, Seb, JayJay and the other newer faces. RIP Alex Stewart he was great too. The podcast is excellent, it’s very thoughtful people discussing football in an intelligent way. For people who are tired of discussing the same of footballing drivel with their parents and friends, this is a breathe of fresh air. Well done guys, keep going.

  • Love Joe

    Joe is hilarious and an excellent host, tying stories together but in a light and accessible way. Mehreen Khan was a great debutant and brought so much to the show. The rest are pretty acceptable too!

  • Fun and refreshingly not clickbaity

    Discovered this recently and it’s quickly become my primary ‘general’ football podcast (alongside a club-specific one). I think it’s a good mix of entertainment and football, without slipping into confected debates or fishing for viral takes. Really enjoying the Ring for Analysis series too. Thanks team, it’s appreciated - ignore the h8ers
