what have you done to the Saturday football daily? its gone from national to Premier league. it is now awful. please return to the old format of going around the grounds with the commentators telling you about the games. it's really poor.
this has been the worst Saturday football show. no music, no headlines, a real disappointment. I really enjoy this podcast but this was more like the Sunday show. a truly awful episode.
Tash Dowie's one eyed analysis is ridiculous. Curtis Jones red card was 100% correct, over the ball, possible leg breaker. if the ref's botched the offside sure, that is unfortunate. Mistakes happen
the Deepdale duck interview has been the best one in years. 🤣🤣🤣
Fletch having a mare on this one.
Boro taking part?
did I miss the mentions of Boro in the playoffs?
the last episode of Euroleague can't be downloaded, please. It's 9 hours now, the wait is killing. thank you 😊
how are pundits still sayimg city have a big squad. theyve always run with a small squad, smallest of big teams. like if you are pumdit pay attention.
I didn't even realize that there was so much going on. Well, I used to be a huge sport fan, but now I watch sports not that often. However, I still place bets on https://cbet.gg/en-US/sports-betting/top/all-sports because it's actually entertaining, even though I'm not as good at it as I used to be, unfortunately.
Why the f""k do you insist on bringing on Guillem Balague? I literally need to stop what i am doing to forward past him. Does he honestly think he knows more about the French and France than Julien Laurent? When will the BBC sack him and see their number of subscribers soar?
Why there's no any comments here?
alring
just heard today's pod, a night before the semi final clash... The verdict by ex Tottenham player is the plain truth about the problem of our 3 Lions 🦁, the press are part of the problem. Objectivity as disappeared in our football journalists. No drama please
