“The ladies Micronesian synchronized swimming team isn’t being paid what their male counterparts are. And I’ve heard reports that their pool might not be maintained as well as the mens either. Please investigate their plight and get back to us on the next pod”

“…allegedly refused to appear on the pod on 13 March and allegedly spent the better part of a week fiercely lobbying to grab a spot on a revised MOTD. The Drunken Sot has never hidden his complete loathing of Gary Lineker. The Drunken Sot worked his every contact in the Conservative Party and at...”Read full review »

Just joking Max is great too”

“Aside from the occasional cameo from the bitter and frankly clueless Ewan Murray , this is an essential listen …knowledgeable , genuinely funny and always a grand wee listen”

“A podcast that goes in two footed but cleanly on the issues surrounding football as well as the footie itself. Been a must listen for years now. Max, barry and co, never shy away from discussions that other podcasts swerve while being deep enough to question the meaning of it all. Its insightful,...”Read full review »

“All - well done on the disability in football episode. You did a great job and it’s such an important subject to talk about. Keep up the fantastic work. I enjoy the podcast every week as well. Keep them coming!”

“I really enjoy listening to this podcast but recently there have been so many ads at each segment of the podcast. I’m in Canada and I’m so tired of hearing the Cozy ad (which spans nearly 1.5 mins and is played 3-4 times).”

“I like this podcast for its football content, I hate this podcast for it’s disingenuous continued criticism of Newcastle Fans.
We didn’t pick our owners, we didn’t authorize the purchase.
We won’t be forced to walk away the club we love.
The Max Rushden continued criticism now smacks of jealousy.”

To illustrate this point, on the most recent pod they enthused about and discussed the upcoming League Cup semi final between Arsenal and Man City. It wasn’t mentioned even once that City still have to play...”Read full review »

“Every week they seem to decide to ask “do we give City/Newcastle enough grief about their owners” and then all agree they never talk about them and forget they discussed the same thing last week, the week before, three weeks ago and have done so for the past decade.

“As I say the pod is so good and one of the more in-depth football podcasts I listen to. The guests more often than not bring opinions led by logic and data.
However, every third episode or so is ruined by the fast forwarding I have to do whenever Troy Townsend speaks. Not once has he given an...”Read full review »

“I listen to lots of footy pods, this one is up there with the best, on Nunez twenty games and a goal or assist in each. He’ll be fine.
Why is everything and everybody else crap, not good enough, not up to it except if they are associated with Arsenal, JJB?”

“… as well as providing good, fair, analysis. My brief history of football pods is littered with short-lived follows. Since finding this one, it’s stuck. Brilliant format; Max and Barry pulling off a football version of Morecombe and Wise (and I use that analogy with the fondest memories).”

“Funny and insightful football chat that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Don’t take heed of other reviews that talk of “woke-ness”. Unless you’re the type of person who flys into a fit of rage at the mention of racism, you should be fine. Keep it up lads 👍🏻”
