“Ornstein’s defence of Southgate is symptomatic of the English press’ delusions. That’s one of the most ridiculous podcasts I’ve ever heard. Stick to the nerdy investigative stories David, because your opinions on the actual football are laughable.
The podcast as a whole is ok but obsessed with...”Read full review »

“The level of analysis is so lazy and so poor it’s really not what you would expect from the Athletic. The best quality of the athletic is that you have experts talking about teams they know…. These guys are absolutely clueless. They rely on headlines and cliches to get them through the pod cause...”Read full review »

“Man Utd finished 8th but every other episode is about them. Spurs have won fewer league titles than Huddersfield Town yet still get so much coverage in this podcast.”

“I used to subscribe to The Athletic, but one of the hosts is really annoying. I won’t name them, but they are like the very worst of the Sky Banter era unserious anti-journalists, and actually put me off listening.
Now they’ve added credits to the show notes, I can simply listen to the ones that...”Read full review »

“Ayo is a good host, great even. The guests are all athletic writers and fans of the teams the cover so answers they give are echo chamber-y and will be what fans of that team want to hear. Listen selectively or be dissatisfied”

“They spoken about Man Utd 23 times this season and the other so called top 6 on numerous occasions, each of these clubs also have their own podcasts from The Athletic. There are 5 clubs in the Premier League that hasn’t had anything on them all season. The media bias is palpable. Terrible platform.”

When will you be able to see past your anti-Man Utd bias and provide some decent, evidence based analysis.

“I think we’ve had 4 Man Utd dedicated podcasts recently, three in the past week or so. It used to be really good at looking at all the teams in the premier league. But since they got rid of the “smaller” teams dedicated podcasts the content has gone down hill. Really poor now. You do realise that...”Read full review »

“Don’t understand why they’ve changed the name to the athletic fc just stick to the athletic football podcast. Same for the women’s football podcast, full time Europe makes no sense. Bring back Mark Chapman because the interviews and topics has lost the quality it had.”

“Tough listen - bring back Dom Bardell.
The lead presenter sounds like he should be on CBBC, not funny and no chemistry with the guests. Always found Dom Bardell funny, as well as good content.

This should be a serious podcast based on the level of journalists the athletic has, but it’s becoming the opposite of that. The “fan opinion” element of it all, and the banter...”Read full review »

“Used to like this but wow these blokes never have a laugh. It’s so dry, feels like every episode they play it safe, afraid to show any real personality. Every episode asks a question that nobody who can’t see the future can answer. I’ve moved over to other pods now. Lighten up my dudes!”
