“Have been souring on the podcast for a while. I followed because I have enjoyed Michael Cox’s work on the history and development of football tactics - a presence sorely lacking from the show these days.
Let me clearly state, I am not one of these people who is “against” analytics. What I am against is the overuse of analytics in the same way that former player “insider analysis” has long been overdone.
I tuned in to hear a podcast about the three horse title race, looking forward to the historical context, and to ACTUAL REPORTING based on sourcing from the clubs; and, what I got was 40 minutes of OPTA stats.
It is lazy.
Journalists have adopted “analytics” which are used - and actually analyzed and applied by clubs. What this show, and many other podcasts and journalists now, does is take the work of others - like OPTA - and regurgitate without any attempt to expound upon or expand the information provided by the data.
I’m not saying I’ll never listen again, but I don’t need this in my feed weekly.”

I for one loved the complexity of the away goals rule and was sorry to see it go. It is a point for discussion and argument with my mates...”Read full review »

“Love the idea of this podcast and the presenters are good - especially Michael Cox. The first episode was fine. But the second one, although interesting enough, also didn’t live up to the promised ‘tactical & technical’ content. It was a pretty standard biog of Freddie Ljunberg, which most...”Read full review »
