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.
I’m a huge fan of the football show in SiriusXM and Tom especially. He is a true wit, brilliant comedic sense inside and outside of football. But this show is a level deeper than TFS, for obvious reasons.
What a show. 5 stars. Amazing bit when Dunny almost mispronounced his own name when kind of speaking in the 3rd person about the arts of Dunsethary was definitely a highlight.
Tim, when the actual wedding day arrives you gotta stop worrying about the small details that nobody is going to even notice anyway, let it all go and enjoy the day. There’s no sense stressing when it arrives, you’ve already done enough of that. Don’t take yourselves too seriously and if you dance (the couple) everyone e... more

This show delivers opinionated football banter with a sharp mix of analysis and personal anecdotes from the world's top leagues, including the Premier League and MLS. Conversations often hinge on tactical debates, refereeing and rule changes (like VAR and offside interpretations), club narratives, and the hosts' lived experiences as players and commentators. A standout strength is the blend of candid wit and informal banter, which keeps episodes lively even when topics veer into politics or controversy. Notable for its strong, chemistry-driven dynamic between the primary hosts and a recurring game-day energy, plus occasional guest voices that add depth to the football conversation.
