“Love the show and i respect the opinions and analysis. I think you got a couple of facts wrong in the maradona episodes but regardless, as a football fan i’m enjoying it tremendously”

“This is by far the best sports podcast out right now. The ability to intersect sports and socio topics is top. Could listen to these two talk all day”

“Regarding the Sir Alex Ferguson episodes. Its full of mistakes. Perhaps check details before trying to attempt a deep dive. Do your research. For example saying Man United played Southampton when it was actually Sheffield Wednesday where Bruce scored the famous “Fergie time” equaliser and winner...”Read full review »

“You wouldn’t think that a football podcast which is essentially focused on character profiles would feel particularly innovative, but the depth of research and insight makes this show stand out from the countless others which might appeal to football fans. Slightly gaudy name but the quality of...”Read full review »

“Everything that Simon Kuper writes is worth reading and he is clearly very well informed about football and beyond. I hadn’t heard of Mehreen Khan but she is really smart, quick and funny and the dynamic between the pair works well. Highly recommend the Pep, Cruyff and Haaland episodes.”

“I’ve been hooked on this podcast - Simon & Mehreen cover a huge range of stories and do so with wit, humour, and what is clearly a huge amount of passion for the game. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys football, a good story, or just a bit of banter.”

“It is difficult to comprehend how some of the throw away remarks make it past the editing desk. They can be pretty offensive.
The topics are good but the attention to detail is poor in places and the presenters are far from football experts….”

“Not only are so many “facts” wrong, almost like they are the opinions of the hosts, the entire show is presented often like you’re a brain dead moron and we have all the answers! The latest one was a breakdown of a ‘release clause’ - I wonder what that could be!? But when you understand the...”Read full review »

“You get more wit and insight in five minutes from Simon and Mehreen than in an hour’s worth of your typical football podcast. They choose fascinating subjects and have a great rapport - being from different generations means they’re constantly checking and ribbing each other, which really helps...”Read full review »

“Brilliant podcast. It’s based on football but puts the beautiful game in the context of social, geopolitical and economic trends. Therefore it spotlights the background & what drives each of the people covered in each pod. The hosts are well matched & they covers an incredible amount of...”Read full review »
