“Reached out to them and the producer completely blanked me. Not had an episode appear since 27th of March when all other podcasts are updating fine. Other people had this issue too”

“Feels like Christmas on the rare occasion we get treated to Jonathan Wilson. I don't bother with Troy Townsend or Jonathan Fadugba episodes now. If someone provides no banter, analysis or insight then how are they qualified to be on the pod? Don't get me started on Mason. Ruined the...”Read full review »

“In its best moments the show can be great, in its most contrived, self-indulgent and recycled Talksport moments it is utter garbage. Max Rushden changes his mind and opinion based on whatever the last panel member said and has no backbone whatsoever. Increasingly it is becoming an open-air...”Read full review »

“Gradually gone downhill over the last 24 months. Only Wilson, Nicky and Sivetson worth listening to now.
I know we should expect it from the Guardian but Max had gone from amusing to boorishly woke and Barry can’t even be bothered to do any research.
Troy Townsend brings some sense all too...”Read full review »

“I would like to listen to a pod without all the noise from all sides about current popular topics such as climate change, Ukraine and Gaza. This pod, it seems, can’t wait to find ways of inserting these wherever it can.
This is supposed to be a footie podcast. An escape from the difficulties...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy the pod, range of strong guests, great to see WSL receiving more attention… but find episodes with JJB in unlistenable, unfortunately.
UPDATE- is there any chance of JJB not using ‘league one footballer’ as an insult when you claim to be a pod that also covers the EFL? Cheers.”

“Very similar to sky or espnfc or any other “cover the entire league” coverage. Very narrative driven. Pretty much take what is trending on twitter or whatever sky talk about and welp so will these guys. Use to have more varied analysis but now it seems pretty mainstream”

“Oh great a new pod I thought !, no it’s a women’s football pod ,if I wanted to listen to women’s football pod I’d put one on !!!! It’s ok for that bloke to dislike Aston Villa and their fans buts it sexist to dislike women’s football ?!?”

“It seems like at least 2 of the pundits on every episode are connected via tinny, barely-audible phone lines (maybe teams or skype). Is it only barry and max that are given microphones to record their audio?”

“Recent critical reviews are very harsh. This is a great crew of intelligent reporters and Max is a great “conductor”!
That said for clearly intelligent correspondents can Max and Barry calibrate footballing talent ?
There are not that many “brilliant” footballers in existence. Messi, Ronaldo,...”Read full review »

“It used to be good. Now it’s only good when another host takes over, they even joked about it last time! with Robyn Cowen. She was great, as is Faye and the others. Barry never seems interested which for some reason seems to be a running joke, why bother with him?”

“Listener since 2008, Was a Ripping show but if I wanted to listen to uninformed critical analysis and gutter humour I can hang at a dingy pub. His boring analysis was saved by the 30 second fast forward button being handy, but Liews got to go now before I listen again, and the Guardian donations...”Read full review »

Two points-
1/ Barry paying for sox. Great story

“There is just something soothing to listen to the contrasting personalities of Max and Barry. They are the Odd Couple of football podcasts and their enduring relationship (or lack thereof) during troubled times is something to make you smile when everything around is such a stench.”

“It’s a diverse cast of football pundits analyzing the football universe of the UK and Europe with an occasional glance overseas. The personalities are excellent. Max, Barry, and the rest of the group give football fans something to look forward to a few times each week. Thanks for the coverage!”
