Tom Rennie thinks he’s funny. He’s actually just a biased fanboy who knows very little about football. Brian Dunseth does know football. He actually played it. But he can’t keep Tom from speaking, so this show gets one star.
Brilliant podcast. Amazing how Rennie can, on occasion, talk about City without whining like a little girl about their wealthy owners. Well done Tom.
What a show.
Tom Rennie looks more aerodynamic than a Formula 1 car, he could join any Olympic swimming team immediately. He resembles a cat that Austin Powers would menacingly stroke. His mug could repel more water than the most expensive anorak jacket. His face has done its best Brian Dunseth forehead impression. Turns out Tom’s phiz is so smooth it’s what Michael McDonald and Steely Dan were always singing about.
By the way, the football analysis was good as well.

Thanks guys for shepherding us through a crazy, exciting season. After Wednesday night Dunny can pronounce Tottenham any old way he wants and I restore your fifth star that I previously docked. Only problem was I missed the game as I was under anesthetic having a colonoscopy. How perfectly apt given the season Spurs has had. As I told my nephew, loving a sports team for 60 years is often a pain in the bum. Keep up the great work.
Between Talksport and every other English language football podcast, I enjoy Week in the Tackle the most. Hey Rennie, tell Goldstein we all get it- Man United were once great, and now they are terrible. I don’t need to hear about it every afternoon.
