Kinda Cracked · Jul 2023

The MNC, might well be the best football podcast there is. Witty, irreverent, argumentative and informative.

ronn1e1 · Aug 2022

The depth of knowledge, the cast of lovable characters, endless stories and insight. The only podcast I listen to every day.

2022 Update Was SO looking forward to the coverage of the World Cup. Unfortunately some of the cast of reporting characters have tipped that fine balance and have become caricatures. When Vickery - one of the best analysts - says I can talk about the game or you can continue giving the public what they want - ie making fun of Chris Sutton - it’s pretty clear which direction it’s going. More hype and shenanigans,, less tactical analysis and reporting. Would be nice if all reporting wasn’t going in the Micah Richard’s direction. I like tis podcast but was hoping for better especially after Euros installment which was stronger. 2018 World Cup My brother in Hong Kong told me about this podcast. Love the tactical analysis - wish there was a bit more. A bit less interested in microwaves, cups of tea and whether Jesus was spotted on a smoky night out. However over all very entertaining. My favorite parts have been Danny Murphy talking about Mexican set piece tactics, or the England GK talking about why Hazard is so good at taking penalties. Also - love Chris Waddle but he talks about teams and players as though nearly all of them fill him with a sense of lingering disappointment...

T.J.H. MD · Dec 2022

Let me start by saying that I actually listen to this podcast a lot. I enjoy it, and it usually ranges between pretty good and occasionally excellent. It’s hard to be consistently amazing given that sometimes there isn’t a lot to discuss on a night with no action, but they do a great job. It’s the BBC after all. I expect a lot but they always deliver (across all their podcasts). The sole reason I am giving a 1-star review now is because they have less than 900 reviews all-time, and they rely on advertising outside the UK, so this MIGHT actually be read…. Nigel Reo-Coker was on tonight and resorted to absolute gutter level bar stool punditry. Despite the fact that the guy (Jesse Marsch) has been doing a pretty solid job stepping into the shoes of a manager who was an icon with the fans, and has been nothing but professional as a manager and with the media, Nigel STILL had to play the Jesse Marsch/Ted Lasso card….. Guys, it’s moronic, schoolboy level humor, and frankly embarrassing for an organization like the BBC. I know I’m not the only one thinking that, because his colleagues on the show tonight all showed their reactions even though he was their mate, ~quote~ “that was incredibly harsh” etc. It’s absolute nonsense that at this point in 2022, we still have pundits commenting on an American manager who graduated from the US equivalent of Oxford, and who has been given the manager job in Austria and Germany with clubs that are world renowned for finding amazing talent, and he’s being compared to a cliche comedy character. Let’s face it, it wouldn’t be cool if an Eastern European manager was compared to Borat, an Irish manager was compared to Father Ted, and obviously most people didn’t like when some fans did the Rafa/Fawlty Towers thing. It’s certainly below the BBC. I might expect gutter level punditry or crazy bias from some small time podcasts but you are the BBC… Like I said, even his fellow pundits knew he was wrong but I still felt the need to write a scathing review (all the more impressive as I’ve never bothered before… for any Podcast). Do better BBC! We hold you to a higher standard, and yes while I am writing from the U.S. where I live now, I’m not American so it’s not something I took personally. I just expect more from your organization. It was idiotic, schoolboy punditry and your listeners deserve better. I doubt this will be noticed at all but if it is then I hope it’s the last Ted Lasso/American manager comparison I ever hear. Pundits can be better. It’s just lazy, cliched, and frankly kinda xenophobic. Below the BBC, that’s for sure!
