“I never review podcasts but I was forced to come out of retirement, even though I’m not sure if you read these anymore, by your Terry Pratchett reference. Well done, thank you to the whole team for this show <3”

“Iain,
New Englander checking in here,
Loving the podcast, and feeling strongly enough to comment on your recent poor, poor, poor (underlined), take on Jose Mourinho’s recent antics/comments in the media - I suggest you give Tifo Football’s ‘Mourinho, Fenerbache & Conspiracy Theories’ a...”Read full review »

“Iain has created the ideal briefing podcast so you can stay up to date on everything happening in football, with a nice bit of humour and lightheartedness thrown in. Very good style, delivery and content, the Athletic should replicate it for all other major sports! Keep it up, I listen...”Read full review »

“Great start to my mornings here in Japan. The “allo I’m Ian Mackintosh” always brings me in.
Also: you need to update the show presenter name on Apple Podcasts, still says Michael Bailey.”

“Recently found this show. It is terrific, driven by the top shelf personality i have enjoyed over the years.
Ian accents the reporting of the day’s football doings with his own brand of humor and comment. Perfect mix.
I fondly recall, years ago, Ian’s seminal work reviewing all the EFL grounds...”Read full review »

“It’s easy to find a quick hitting podcast with info about the Premier League results- much harder is finding a podcast that covers the other tiers of English football and the rest of Europe. This podcast does it all. We need more updates on Iain’s Civilization VI play though!”

“My daily trudge of a commute has developed a new routine since I have been woefully made fun of for being “ill informed” in the office on the PL, la liga, Serie A as if one can even know it all. Now I can simply parrot Ian’s opinions and pawn them off as my own! Until I realized my coworkers were...”Read full review »

“Good quick review of the previous day’s action with access to a good range of club or league experts. Please, however, stop finishing by saying ‘I’ve been ——-‘ it sounds stupid. Also, attempts at humour are a bit tacky at times and sound lame- stick to good content- we can get comedy elsewhere 😉”

“Honestly only writing this so I can get a mention and become famous, but I do quite like the show and enjoy the humor Iain has added to it. I hope he lasts until the end of the season so I can hear him eat his words calling chelsea a “worse” team when we lift the ever-storied UCL.”

“Wanted to like this podcast but just can’t get past the presenter’s inability to pronounce his words correctly (blame my father). What’s weird is he says “three” with a “th” but says Portsmouth with an “f”. Why? And don’t get me started on “Communitee”.”

“…with a dash of that British humour I love. I listen to a couple of individual team podcasts, but this gives you a good overview without drowning on and on and on like some “we cover all things” podcasts. I can’t recommend it enough.”
