For the athletic, this pod is really really poor….
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 they simply don’t enough about the game or the premier league. It’s truly shocking how bad these guys are. If I want to know about a specific team, I’ll look up the guys who cover them for the athletic. Not listen to these guys guessing and coming to absurd assumptions based on headlines they’ve read from the sun and daily mail lol do better It’s as if the word nuanced doesn’t exist in England. Every statement and argument is black or white. A team wins a match and they’re the best team in the world, they lose the next non and you guys are talking about a “crisis at the club”. It’s not just the athletic either, it’s the problem with all UK outlets. Carl Anka is an absolute clown

Has a good USP, however it’s all a bit one-level in its delivery. Just calm down, this isn’t your beloved America, Mark. It’s also heavily sponsored by a gambling company; so well done promoting a life ruining industry chaps (or should I say cHaPpeRs).
