It boggles the mind that Savage not only gets work, but gets work paid by the public purse from the BBC. He's a walking representation of everything wrong with football.

The man is a million dollar whopper tbh

I liked Allison Rudd's "you won't get that on Football Weekly" comment on The Times.

Also, ffs, the ramble is more and more difficult to listen to every week. The host Marcus is fine, but the other two not named Pete seem too eager to rant for 5+ minutes about some cliched bullshit.

The Football Weekly Presents stuff the Guardian has been doing for the last couple weeks has been pretty interesting, with their profiles of lesser known players. Ian Macintosh is a bit annoying as the narrator, but still, good stuff overall.

I enjoyed the most recent one about Nielsen, interesting story.

Anyone here listen to Second Captains or Beyond the Pitch?

On FW they suggested that there are new allegations against Blatter that havent been cleared to print on the newsies yet. Any leaks elsewhere?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I got the joke, but honestly why do they even bother talking about Scottish football

Feels like such a waste of time, and I find it hard to believe there's hordes of Scottish football fans clamouring to hear a 1-minute discussion about their weekend's games

Is the consensus still that FW>The Game? I always listen to FW first, never tried the ramble. I'd also offer that Alison Rudd and Amy Lawrence are better panellists than some of their male counterparts, especially the ex-pro guests (Tony Cascarino I'm looking at you).

Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs

But I lie about my past

I wish Amy Lawrence was on FW more often. She only really gets brought in when there's major Arsenal related news.

Not exactly frequent, but if you like your Jonathan Wilson (who doesn't?) then https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-blizzard/id968673096?mt=2 the Blizzard podcast is quite glorious.

I would say that the game is an inferior version of football weekly and the ramble is it's own thing. They are allowed to say what they think much more because they aren't affiliated to a paper.
