Used to enjoy the show
But over the course of time, I found myself listening to them less and less. And the times I did listen, I found it becoming a chore to get through an episode. It not being a “fun” or “banter” podcast is fine, but it doesn’t make up for that aspect with high level football analysis. It’s either very on the surface, match highlight reels levels of insight, or reactive punditry to football-narrative drivel from other outlets, such as Sky Sports, and their punditry. Neither of which provides any interesting or insightful view point from the sport they cover. Barring an appearance from the likes of say, Nicky Bandini, most of these guests and hosts have either smug, stale, or uninteresting contributions, filled with lazy narratives and cliches. As a result, the podcast has really gone downhill over the years.
