The problem is that the Guardian office hacks are as interesting and knowledgeable as your average guy in the pub

Whenever they have on a journalist who actually goes out and reports and or is a real broadcaster, it picks up a lot

Is it Sean Ingle that always talks about odds with the bookies and has that nasally voice? He can gently caress off but I don't think he's been on for ages. The rest are fine, I can see why people wouldn't like Ian Macintosh but I've never been bothered by him.

To be fair I read this thread before listening to the latest Football Weekly and Ian Macintosh's faux dramatic gasping did piss me off, but I can't tell if it would have had I not been influenced as such. What day does Athletico Mince usually land, not sure if I'm up to date? The last one I heard was after the break because of Andy and the alderman.

Yep. Ingle is the worst. He barely even writes for the guardian, he just works on their website.

I have a love hate relationship with glendenning. He can be funny, but he has absolutely nothing to say about football. Everyone else blends together for me, with the exception of Hoenigstein, Sid Lowe, and Auclair, all of whom are more knowledgeable than the rest of the guardian hacks.

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.
Sid Lowe annoys me because he's prone to just rambling on for minutes at a time, even when Jimbo's asked him a yes or no question. Although it was funny that time his dog was yapping in the background and Jimbo kept asking questions about the dog while Sid keeps trying to steer the conversation back to Ronaldo or something.

The only FW regular I don't like is Jacob Steinberg, he just sounds like such a dull person and he's constantly umming and ahhing. I think it was him who said a few weeks ago in response to a question like "what do you hate more than anything else" he replied "birthdays and Christmas" :wtc:

Is Jacob the one that nearly burned to death on a British 777 and described it in the most boring, dull way?

Because yes, he annoys me.

I like them all, but Sid and Barry the most.

I miss the guy that used to sing in a credence clearwater coverband. What happened to him?

Sid Lowe is just there to plug the angle he's pushing in his newest article. I've always got the impression that Jimbo feeds him a few questions about his latest article, and then Sid tries to field a couple general questions in exchange.

Yeah that's him. I can understand if he didn't want to talk about it, but he basically went "uhh, yeah it was a bit umm scary" and that was it.

I don't get the Sid hate. I guess giving lengthy, detailed, informed answers stands out when the rest of the pod is "uhhh they played bad last week so maybe they will play bad this week"

The only reason to listen to FW is James Richardson.

I was amazed when Pete was presenting Ramble in Marcus' absence as he was actually a good host when he wasn't trying to act like a random sixth former with zany words.

Yeah true. He's clearly a good producer figure, but when he stepped up as host he was more than competent

Not sure how Jim gets comedy gigs at Edinburgh every year. He's not unfunny but he's not hysterical either.

James Richardson is too good for podcasts. He should be the next MOTD presenter but we all know we'll get Robbie Savage.

Two comedian friends from northern England enchange recurring jokes and tell fictional stories about Steve MacLaren. They talk for about two minutes about actual football.

Are you looking for a podcast where one of the hosts can remember all Football trivia from 1876 onwards?

Well check out Athletico Minces memory man Bob Mortimer - a man who knows everything about football (please no Hitler questions)
