Never fails to disappoint
Been listening for a while, huge fan of the show and glad to have it back. Great contrast to normal football podcast content, and a funny insight into the mundane (or not so in some cases), lives of footballers. Keep it going!
It’s So Funny… Please rethink your sponsors
I have just binged 5 eps in one day. It’s so cheerful, interesting and funny… Edit; disappointed by the betting advertisements. It’s an addiction that bankrupts vulnerable people, and tears their families apart. Please rethink your sponsors.
I laughed a whole lot
Great hosts and concept, worth a ear kick-about
