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.

Mmmmm it's very English hunour but yes. You need to get a few episodes in to get all the jokes. As they talk so little about current stuff you can listen to any of the past ones without them going stale

I tried listening to athletico mince and I'm a little confused on the whole corbyn thing can someone fill me in

Aah. I'm glad you asked. As a bit of an expert on British politics, it will be easy for me to explain. Corbyn is the wholly unremarkable man who is the head of the labour party, which is the big communist/socialist party in the UK. Most British people consider themselves to be 'socialist' so the internal workings of the labour party are very important to them. They can't get enough of it. As Corbyn is very incapable in every sense, some people oppose him being the top man of the party(not sure about this but I think that's the gist of it.) I think, the conflict of him being the main socialist man has caused a lot of banter and made Corbyn well known despite not having done anything.

Sorry, I though I could write something funny but actually only wrote that. At least it's all true.

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.

It's like I saw the future :tinfoil:

Sometimes Homerism with guardian pundits is annoying.

Not, however, when Barry is doing the Minute By Minute.

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
I know strictly speaking this is the podcast thread, but as most of it gets put out as downloads anyway it still counts; I think BBC 5 Live has definitively the best content out there, both in terms of analysis and punditry, but also in the commentary and the overall volume and quality of output. To be fair they do have a virtual monopoly on what they do, with the exception of TalkSport which usually just seems to be thick drunkards shouting at each other, but the fact that they manage to put out such consistently engaging and enjoyable football material is quite a marvel, really.

Also I've got a weird mancrush on Mark Chapman so that helps.

My fiancée heard me listening to it the other day whilst I was doing the washing up and surmised 'so you just listen to these two chat poo poo for an hour?'

She is from Gloucestershire though so may not appreciate the full spectrum of humour coming through north eastern vocal chords :shrug:

Am I to assume they're taking a break while Bob tours? Wanted to see them in Blackpool this Saturday but can't get it off work.
