  • No Dunnie - not listening

    What’s with the Stalinist BS around Brian Dunseth leaving both SitiusXM FC and this podcast?? Can’t even be straight up and honest about it with the listeners - which I will no longer be, in both cases.

  • Tom Rennie is a miserable little man

    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.

  • The little Rennie that could

    Brilliant podcast. Amazing how Rennie can, on occasion, talk about City without whining like a little girl about their wealthy owners. Well done Tom.

  • Smoothest show in weeks.

    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.
