“First Mark Chapman now the cliches podcast, The Athletic believing that their name means they can ditch talent and the subs will continue. Not true, so many decent pods and articles now very poor due to their poor decision making. Glad the Cliches pod is back, glad the Athletic has lost it.”

Have a feeling The Athletic think it’s not serious enough for them.”

“Unbelievable finds from the podcast - piecing together the puzzle of the century. Love the people, love the pod! But now it’s found, I think it’s bad news for the English pod. Will they be creative enough, will they be positive enough? ❤️”

“The football pod to which I most look forward through the week. Brilliant nerdy stuff. Even though I don’t buy Adam doing a better help ad, not his fault mind you.”

“Brilliant podcast as usual lads. As an Amercian, I can forgive Leon Osman for the plum incident because i’ve always heard it as “plum” as well. It fits the peach and stone fruit category of football speak as well. Perhaps plum of a finish will catch on. Also, you all were my introduction to “for...”Read full review »

“I’m not saying it’s the best podcast on the language of football. But it is in the top one.
Particularly enjoyed the Euro 2020 coverage as an alternative to the mainstream coverage.”

“One of the rare football pods which is generally very accurate, clever and always funny.
They keep the content pure and cliche related without falling in to the trap many others do where is becomes a pure and narcissistic ‘banter fest’. Keep it up Adam and the team!”

“Casual soccer fan here, its as much about language and egos as it is about the sport. Has made me pay way far more attention to the language around me in daily life. I hang onto every word but also will relisten to old episodes to help fall asleep, because the general vibe is so good and not...”Read full review »

“The Tuesday podcast is excellent and is a highlight of the week (especially Keys and Gray corner). However, the Thursday interview style podcast is fairly boring and very repetitive. Scrap the chats with z listers & more Tuesday style pods”

For example, do you crash out of a tournament, or are you bundled out? Apparently, there’s a big difference between the two. Is a particular...”Read full review »
