  • Speakman Gone Podcast

    I was a regular listener to your podcast but Gareth Barkers dismissal of Speakman left a really sour taste in my mouth. I understand some people might not like his Management speak, however the fella has helped take us from the doldrums of League 1 to Premier League. This was fobbed off as lucky and the work of the collective and that someone else might’ve done it quicker. Massive sour grapes because he doesn’t like Speakman’s LinkedIn persona.

    In my opinion, Barker detracts from the Podcast an... more

  • Used to be decent

    Not listened for a while but what a shock I got. This used to be a decent podcast, professionally recorded with some excellent insight. Now it isn't. Such a shame but it seems to have been taken over by a gaggle of morons who record it in pub toilets. Get back to what you were good at.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PREVIEW | BOURNEMOUTH (A)
Q: Do you feel Regis Le Bris is trying not to lose games rather than win games? I feel he's got more conservative, the closer we've got to 40 points. Is that fair?
I don't think it has changed massively. I think the approach is right in the main, but it isn't going to work every time.
PREVIEW | BOURNEMOUTH (A)
Q: How does the refereeing improve in this country as it's getting worse week by week? Should they be interviewed after games?
I think the standard is poor, and I don't think VAR particularly helps that because I think referees almost rely on it.
PREVIEW | BOURNEMOUTH (A)
Q: Is it because of our pain-ridden past that we can't relax until mathematically safe?
Probably for some people. I genuinely don't think there's realistically any chance we would go down anyway, but I can understand why people may be worried to a point.
PREVIEW | FULHAM (H)
Q: Sunderland, is there a feeling from Fulham fans that Sunderland are there to be got at on Sunday?
Fulham fans are nervous about Sunderland's strong home form, but they're looking to capitalize on their recent struggles.
PREVIEW | ARSENAL (A)
Q: Do you think Arsenal will let their early season performance affect them?
The speakers are skeptical that Arsenal's previous draw against Sunderland will affect their strong performance, anticipating Arsenal will be motivated to perform well.
