Heres another podcast Ive found a good laugh. The Football Ramble quote:Marcus Speller, James Campbell, Lukey Moore and Producer Pete are 'The Football Ramble', a fortnightly podcast released every other Saturday. Recorded in a secret location somewhere in London, everything regarding the beautiful game is dissected, pulled apart and discussed in the show that has threatened on more than one occasion to rock the football community to its very core. for USA based stuff theres also Match fit USA.

Delighted that Football Weekly is back, but I have to say that the Football Ramble that MoPZiG linked a few posts up really wasn't terrible.

According to their website World Soccer Daily is dead. From what Steven has said, it was because of the crazy Liverpool fans threatening his family. I haven't listened to the podcast but I'd imagine it would have to be pretty serious to just stop the show all together. Wasn't the best but having less coverage in the US is always a bad thing.

calcio posted:I'm not up on the story and stopped listening to WSD a long time ago. But from what I gather he said Liverpool fans were responsible for the deaths and refused to back down. The fans got pissed rightfully so and got all his advertisers to pull the plug? he basically was a gigantic cock about Hillsborough, early and often. If he's using that as an explanation for the show going away, well...maybe the advertisers decided they had had enough too. I'm also sad at the loss of coverage in the U.S. but honestly I wasn't listening to it, ever, because it was poo poo. If somebody does better stuff and with more of an MLS focus I'd gladly listen. But for me it's Football Weekly, which is BACK with a vengeance

The few times I've listened to WSD, I always enjoyed it... so that kind of sucks. Anyway the latest Football Weekly podcast has a cracker of a joke about Zhirkov and Ashley Young.

As for WSD, Im glad its gone because Steven and Kenny were lousy hosts. edit:this is a decent article summing up the WSD vs Liverpool debacle. I didn't know that even Peter Kenyon stepped in to distance Chelsea from Steven. Hilarious. I have never heard of a club doing that. MoPZiG fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Aug 24, 2009 |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/wf/ is mentioned in the OP, but I want to go back to it a moment. In the UK this is on in the middle of the night on the radio, so even we tend to listen to the podcast rather than live. This is the show that if you're an elitist football fan, "and drat you no-one else I know is as into soccer as me!" you listen to. Each week they have 2 (occasionally 3) people who specialize in a continent of football. North America,South America, Europe Asia and Africa. And each one of these guys is the best there is on his respective topic. They know the craziest amount of poo poo about their area. Some obscure second division Argentinian? Yeh Tim went to watch him a couple of weeks ago and liked his commitment, and he knows that x, y and z all had scouts at the game because he had a drink with them after the game. MLS is well covered every other week. Sean is best friends with virtually every body who works in MLS. But he happens to know everything there is to know about Costa Rica, Bermuda and every other tiny little place that makes up CONCACAF. Europe, Africa and Asia are covered less often than South America, but just as thoroughly when their guy is around. And Dotun Adebayo, the host, is the nicest guy in the world. Basically, you need to listen to this show if you're a soccer fan. Until you can say you listen to this each week, you're a scrub.

The cast, Vickery especially, are all top drawer but the regular callers (yes even 'The gent') are incredibly boring. Even worse are the people who ring up begging for the Brazilian shirt name. Dotun is too generous with his time. In other podcast news our patron saint Ray Parlour rang into the most recent Chapper's Premier League podcast (itunes). and apparently WSD is back, anyone know the details? and if you arent listening to the Football Ramble yet what are you waiting for?

WSD is back and they're going to start charging a monthly subscription or something. I thought the show was pretty decent for what it was but never in a million years would I pay for that considering there's dozens free shows that are much better.

He sounds nothing like I expected at all, I pictured him as a middle aged suburban dad from his columns but he sounds like a camp twentysomething. I think he'll be a semi-regular at most so it's not a problem as long as they tell him not to do anymore songs, unless they're really funny.

I'm sure that he won't be back, or if he is he will be a bit more subdued. It was his first time on the pod so I guess he just isn't sure what he should be doing, and acting like Alan Carr is not a good way to fit in.

I was more annoyed by the arrogant Arsenal fan from the other week. I mean we all got a laugh at him saying that Arsenal have the best squad in the league but usually the quality of guest is a bit higher than some moron shouting "THEO WALCOTT PLAYS" repeatedly with his only other input being a dull theory on a defender's psychology which essentially boiled down to playing good forwards to counter an opposition's good defence.

Yeah it was mainly the tonal shift from most pod atmospheres that was so odd, you had the usual dry, sarcastic and, well, quiet discussion and then you have him singing and hamming it up and it kind of disrupted everyone else's game. I think jimbo only made one pun

Yeah, that was ridiculous. The worst was his claim that Arsenal would win the league and that Wenger had made up injuries to rest them last season because they were still shook up over Eduardo breaking his leg. Shame he wasn't on yesterday.

Lack of Barry Glendenning and Sean Ingle is annoying. The episode following international week was kind of dull. It was really horrible basic analysis. No fun in it either. Is the live show this Sunday?

Haha, I was going to skip yesterday's until I saw Simon Hattenstone getting slammed by everybody. His columns are invariably dreadful too, no surprise that he also comes across as an unfunny fool. Jimbo wrote that Hattenstone was an emergency stand-in for Jonathan Wilson. What a different pod that would have been.

He is still in Germany. I'm not sure for how long though. He was saying on Twitter that the comments for that last two shows weren't great. There were maybe staff shortages or something. He also said they always 'try to have someone funny + reporter + someone with knowledge and right tone'. Hopefully the usuals will be back soon.

There's something insanely terrible about middle-class people who love incredibly complex football songs that nobody actually sings and appear to be a relic of the 1950s. And are offended by any song that might be marginally upsetting to someone, anyone, anywhere. And are Arsenal fans.
