What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love this show. A different look at football. It’s particularly good when it looks outside the premier league or champions league and takes that broader look and asks questions that they may not be able to answer - eg the episode on Juve, Benfica and Dortmund. Absolutely brilliant stuff

royal tuna · Feb 2026

Finally decided to give them a listen and 6 shows back to back later, I’m hooked. Interesting topics, different to the usual game analysis podcasts that I usually listen to. Happily adding libero to my auto download podcasts

2022tom · Feb 2026

In depth, full-nerd football discussion from some of the best writers out there. Can’t get enough.

tycampo · Jan 2026
