What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

i support arsenal, and my friend who supports chelsea recommended this podcast to me a couple months back and i have since been obsessed. i've listened to every episode from this season multiple times because they just make me laugh so much. i listen mostly to arsenal content obviously but sometimes it can be a bit of a downer or just isolating because it's so club specific, but TIFO is so lighthearted and fun and makes me remember why i love the game - because it's a good bit of fun.

Dogedogedoge · Jan 2025

Genuinely my favorite podcast of all time. Whilst sometimes football is low down on the pecking order in terms of what ends up being discussed it doesn’t negate from my bemusement with what these lads come up with every week❤️

Ely2422 · Oct 2024

I’ve learned so much about London and its sports teams from this pod. I just wish there was more discussion about London and its sports teams.

Rockin Ron 1987 · Oct 2024

I loved what the podcast used to be, and they still get great guests on most weeks. However, the podcast needs a new host. In the most recent episode, Jon goes on at one point for nearly four minutes without letting the guest get a word in. Either bring back the multi-host format for more conversation, or bring in a host who has the ability to have a true back and forth with the guest.

honuswagnerfan · May 2024

The core of the brand was simple: joyful football journalism. They threw that out when they relaunched the show. Now the show is like listening to two newspapers talk to one another. It is possible to be smart AND happy - but they seem to have forgotten that. There really isn’t anything to differentiate this show from a whole ton of other shows. The 4.7/5 rating is based on the old show - not the current format.
