“I’m so glad the boys have started producing new content again. The analysis of the various different teams and players strikes the right balance between objectiveness and subjective opinion. Also provides enjoyable insights about the wider culture of the 80s and 90s, and deviations on kits and...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for a few years now. This recent flurry of podcasts discoursing the 1988 European Championships is brilliant as have been all the previous shows. A brilliant listen over the summer every Monday mornings. I would love to hear a deep dive into the 1980 European Championships...”Read full review »

“So glad the pod is back! Been checking back regularly the last few months so these new Euro ‘88 episodes are lovely surprise. Please don’t leave us again!
For me the best format is Lee Calvert as host, with any of Rob Smyth, Mike Gibbons or Scott Murray as guests. Furthermore, Martin Ramsay has...”Read full review »

“Despite looking for all and any possible reason (as an embittered Sellik man), I was unable to find a single thing to criticise about the addition of Martyn as host (on the contrary, you’re great). The pod continues to inform and entertain- keep it up!”

“The topics covered, the depth given and the experience is fantastic and new episodes are welcomed.
With such a regular cohort of panelists, it’d be nice to hear better audio (local recordings stitched together) but doesn’t really detract.
Excellent.”

I’m outside walking all day so listening to Rob, Lee, Gary and co passes the time with a smile on my face. I read Rob’s Danish...”Read full review »

“Everything was better when I was young, and that includes football.

If you miss Des Lynam, the Spice Boys, and...”Read full review »

“I listen to many football based podcasts, many have a comedy twist but they often lack the facts and the detail.
This pod has humour, facts and it hits all the topics that we want to look back on.
Great stuff!”

“Content wise this is a really good podcast, however, the fact they aren’t in a studio really shows and leads to several interruptions every episode where they talk over each other. With a heavy heart, I’m close to giving up on it.”

“This is a dreadful podcast, the sound is horrific and instantly off-putting.
Phone calls cut out regularly, and you lose important bits of information which no one bothers to correct or reiterate.
You’ve got a flamin’ cheek to ask for money on patreon.
Also, you’re always cutting short the flow...”Read full review »

“You need a sound engineer guys and some quality control.
Perhaps if the presenters listened to it before putting it out to the big, wide world they would do something to improve the audio quality.

“Was really looking forward to this but realised that the only reason I can tolerate Sid Lowe on a dodgy line from Spain every week is because he’s only on for 5mins. How difficult is it to get 3 people, all living/working in the same country into the same room and have good quality audio?”
