What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is an outstanding podcast. Three mates relaxing and chatting about football, offering honest opinions—good or bad (hence the title). Paddy, a genuine football fan, asks grounded, down-to-earth questions to both football legends and their special guests. He poses the kinds of questions every fan would ask to uncover great behind-the-scenes stories. If you’re looking for an unbiased, no-agenda, relaxed football podcast that covers the game and everything around it, this is the one for you. Keep it up, gents—don’t change a thing!
