The show itself is fairly good, but some of the English journalists they have speaking talk as if they are recording for asmr. Very hushed tones and near whispers. I find it hard to continue listening to the points they make due to this and often turn it off early. Please speak up a bit.
Love the show. My only complaint is please, please, PLEASE stop spoiling game results in the episode titles! Lots of people all over the globe are unable to watch games live and often this podcast will come out before they are able to. It’s a small thing sure, but having to avoid looking at your podcast feed in case of a spoiler is remarkably annoying. You can easily come up with a title laying out the big talking points of the show without alluding to the results. This is basic podcast etiquette, please figure this out!
I began listening to Jimbo way back in 2015 and came along with him on the Totally ride. I have always enjoyed his love for Serie A and his humor. Jimbo has always been a voice of reason and classy with his puns and always makes sure the listener is never forgotten. The other contributors can be very interesting (Duncan with his stats and humor, Cox with his contrarian but interesting takes, Rafa with his nuanced take) or irritating and meriting a fast forward (Laurens with his psg heavy takes and Carl Anka with his fan like unbalanced take on United). Alvaro covering Spain has been a welcome recent addition.
Genuinely enjoy the show and am always charmed by James and his plethora of rotating journos, particularly Daniel Storey who is always *chefs kiss*. Two things tho: 1) Please, for gods sake, enough with the gambling sponsorship. Paddy Power can absolutely kiss the skinniest whitest posterior on my body. The absolute dregs, find a less godawful way of sponsoring your show. 2) Julien Laurens: no
I thought it odd when listening to an unending barrage of commercial stings, 4 people would occasionally interrupt to talk about football. Sadly a formerly fluid and entertaining show has simply become a billboard for commerce and in the end dilutes any audio pleasure in the process.
