Finally! A pod about this sport that I want to listen to- that doesn’t make me groan or angry - and I don’t have to turn off because I don’t like what’s being said- I love this pod- It’s original and interesting. Thank you so much for putting this together- I look forward to every episode. Keep up the great work.

Highlight of My Day

Even if you’re a Leeds fan thousands of miles away in the States, these guys will make you feel like you’re in the room with them. Constantly checking to see if there’s a new episode. The pairing of Joe and Patrick works so well and every episode is as fascinating as it is hilarious. So fun to get an inside glimpse into professional footballer life while laughing along the way. Keep it up boys.
