  • Where is the nonthense?

    Still left wondering exactly what nonthense is actually being straightened out? But at least I can rest easy knowing the maverick Simon Jordan is tackling the nonthense head on.

  • Interviews are 5 stars, three upfront is no stars

    Simon Jordan’s interviews are fantastic and I wish he’d just stuck to that, Troy Deeney is unbareable.

  • Deeney is unlistenable. Loved original format.

    Really like Simon, but why did he have to sound more astute by sitting himself between Graeme ‘back in my day’ Souness & Troy ‘on his day’ Deeney? The Henry Winter cameos are enough to keep the fleeting listeners from fleeing but Henry should be on full time. The original one on one interviews are repeatable listens though (especially John Barnes and Fowler eps)

  • They sound like 3 sad men who hates everyone!

    Jordan can’t hear anything against Spurs, Souness is Liverpool & Rangers. This feels a bit biased.

    And there Last episode was all about how rich they all are and everyone there is a millionaire… so off putting!!
