I have a bit of an off-the-wall request. I'm looking for good Spanish-spoken football podcasts. I primarily follow the EPL, but anything in general, or even La Liga would be just fine. I'm learning the language and want to put it on 1/2 speed to get some more material to listen to on a topic that I have interest in!

Thanks in advance!

I'd try posting in the La Liga thread. Pretty much all the discussion in this thread is for English language ones.

Love it when the football being discussed bores Jimbo, like the last ten mins of this week's Extra. His comment about the Depeche Mode singer being "off the smack" nearly made me burst out laughing in the supermarker. Amazing.

I always really enjoyed it when he's really pumped about something and no one gives a poo poo. "Did you here about Juventus, eh? eh? eh?"

And also Barry's two minute recaps are hilarious. But they happen once a year or so. Also, it's pretty funny how they don't understand why Pirlo would move to Australia.

Money + Easy season + Summer = paid holiday.

Barry did a series of videos about the Olympics. I think he's actually funnier on the pod, but each to their own.

I think what they were getting at was that he could probably get more money in the Middle East or USA.

Holy crap, that's what James Richardson looked like? I'll never look at his European paper review the same. It's almost like he's reliving his glory days.....broadcasting out there for his handful of fans who still remember a time gone by :smith:

Alan Davies when he does his completely over the top Giroud "impression" has been the best thing so far this season. It never fails to make me laugh.

Not being an Arsenal fan, amazingly I still enjoy their podcast. Especially Davies' anecdotes about winning the European cup with Leyton Orient.

That was a good football weekly, with a few gems, namely "Does it have Georgie Best in it?" and Baz having a laugh about Sydney FC.

In addition, Barry's interview with Jimmy Bullard is nice, rather :3:

Well, I'm Australian so A-League talk is fun, and I was listening to it during the middle of a long bike ride so it was just back ground noise, and it made me laugh.

But yeah, I can understand why people didn't enjoy it.

Really? I do like Tony Evans on it, but I think all of their panelists are quite good. Certainly a higher per centage than on Football Weekly. Rory Smith in particular I find great.

Football Weekly is increasingly annoying.

On Thursday they had a panel that couldn't find a single word to say to preview any match not featuring one of the top four. Yesterday's panel of 3 expert journalists discussing the weekend's action hadn't even managed to watch Match of the Day.

I still enjoy listening to it but I don't think the analysis is particularly good anymore. And then you get Sid Lowe coming on talking about how Messi and Ronaldo have called each other up and decided how many goals to score that week.

Conversely, I haven't had time to watch Match of the Day the past two weeks and have relied on Football Weekly for 100% of my EPL news. Aside from the excessive narrative-seeking amongst the weaker pundits, it's alright.
