love the pod, but hate the coach bashing..do you listen to your pods back? repetitive comments without fact all on assumptions. not being an EJ fab, but for Jim to say he is a short term fixer I don't feel is far punditry, with regular 3 year stints with England running longer. let's give factual comments and leave your emotions at the door Goody!
brilliant interviews, keep going

Youre doing great this season with your predictions! ☺
