Ballers...I put numbers on the boards

Answers Me posted:

Covid causing the leagues to do away with proper matchdays has killed my interesting in listening to any of the weekly roundup pods. At least a third of what they talk about is out of date by the time I get to it, so I've lost interest in keeping up.

So... what are good general football podcasts that don't centre around 'here's what happened on the weekend'?

I've been listening to Football Cliches from The Athletic over the last week or so. Some of the guests are a little smug (Michael Cox is on a few of them) but it's generally pretty funny.

The Ornstein and Chapman Podcast: Mark Chapman and David Ornstein and some Athletic writers go over a featured article in the Athletic and cover some news and goings on in football and sometime something Arsenal related. On the same feed, Business of Sport podcast, where Mark Chapman and Matt Slater cover a couple of topic that focuses on the business side of sport.

Set Piece Menu: Hugh Farris, Steven Wyeth, Rory Smith, and Andy Hinchcliffe tries to have a longer discussion about a topic that is going on football.

These sound great, cheers!

Just want to add that similar to the above poster, the fact that football is every day and pods become out of date almost immediately, and that my commute is from the bedroom to the living room, means the time I used to have for daily football pods is gone. And we’ve done the Ramble talk to death, but the one pod I WOULD make time for to listen to doesn’t exist anymore.

For non-day to day football chatter, can I highly recommend Nessun Dorma? They’re an 80s and 90s topics focused pod, a bit amateur in terms of production but three football journos discussing various topics is fun. They’ve done group by group analysis of World Cups 86, 98, and covered various teams in their peak eras, so just done the 98 Arsenal side, Everton in the 80s, the Danish 84-86 side etc. They’re about three seasons deep now so should have a topic for you to try.

gently caress paddy Power, and gently caress them spamming me with loads of ads for 'crouch on the couch', which apparently is a Peter crouch podcast about loving Cheltenham?!

Also gently caress Peter Crouch as well, as if he needs that Paddy Power money.

Oh wow, have they updated that? It used to be Producer Ben having an obvious not live phone call with Lee Price, then it was just Lee Price wasn’t it?

Bookmaking is a weird one. I have a few week on accumulators every Saturday, and win ten or twenty quid now and again for some cans from the offie. However the overwhelming saturation of bookmakers in all aspects of football is just too much. I realise these podcasts require sponsorship and it’s nothing I can’t skip with reasonable ease, but it’s probably the dirtiest money you can legally accept in this current day and age, unless advertising cigarettes was legalised.

Britain is a broken society and the fact the it has totally normalised gambling and betting is a huge symptom of this.

Actually, 'normalised" is even too soft a word, betting companies have now so thoroughly propagandised the populace that it's almost viewed as part of football, i.e. you can't enjoy it without a "cheeky punt" or whatever.

Never forget that betting and gambling are core tenets of capitalism and that it is therefore not surprising it is what it is in the UK. It destroys communities, destroys lives, and every bet widens the gap between rich and poor. Bookmakers add nothing to the world, they only relentlessly take, no matter how "fun" they market themselves to be like paddy power.

Yep. It's loving gross OP and is part of the reason I refuse to pay for Sky Sports, not going to give them money to shove lovely gambling adverts in my face and contribute to a disgusting business.

Agreed completely, all the big bookmakers now graduating from grimy betting shops filling the gaps in the high street to blanket advertising over every element of football media and that it's both fun and that you, the intelligent football fan would be stupid not to.

I also hate 'When the fun stops, stop' - just reinforces the idea of the fun of betting without mentioning that you will almost definitely come out with less money than you started.
