I haven’t listened to it since about six months after it launched and it was clearly a pale imitation of Football Weekly. I notice it’s part of the Athletic these days, but I’ve now idea what that means for its quality, or how it relates to the main Athletic podcast (which is usually a pretty decent listen)

It's fine. I think it just depends on how many football podcasts you want to hear a week that cover the same thing. I listen to less these days. Football cliches is good because it covers slightly different stuff which is my go to second one.

Answers Me posted:I’ll never tire of Barry Glendenning talking down the England national team. Doing god’s work for any non-English listeners I can understand why the anyone but England crew would enjoy it, fair enough, but it was horrific listening and he was clearly pissed. Calling Max a Kane fanboy was pathetic.

I haven't listened to that episode, but as an Irish person his usual stuff is the most boring poo poo imaginable. I get that it must be pretty insufferable to hate the England team while living there and working in football, but it's the ultimate pub bore shite I've been hearing my whole life.

Seltzer posted:Just out of curiosity, how is the totally football show doing? It seemed like a dud on arrival and also to have no footprint in the wider media landscape. It’s as it ever was, certainly more listenable than the Guardian pod has been for a long time. Revolving guests are slightly less annoying, Jimbo remains witty, no Glendenning. It’s the Athletic’s flagship football content as far as I’m concerned, the athletic football podcast is awful in comparison. I’m sure it’s behind both in subscribers.

Football Weekly are too cowardly to bin off Jordan for being terrible so have resorted to ‘accidentally’ losing his audio…

It's not just personal preference, he just really sticks out like a sore thumb whenever he's there, he's so loving cringe and its so obvious that he's not on the level of the other people who are on that podcast.

nawilo_420 posted:yeah it's pretty transparent lol Laziness and apathy. Compare to how they reported the Vinicius Junior racism this week to the Totally Football Show. FW has Max give just the headline about the monkey chants before he reads out Twitter posts from Vinicius, La Liga and others then they all agree that Spain is racist compared to the rest of Europe, before he does the “we’re all bad so what can you do” routine. They don’t even bother to get Sid Lowe on. Whereas TFS describes the abuse he gets in the game, Vinicius’s sending off and has Jimbo questioning Romero about why La Liga is so limp. La Liga is called out as in the wrong along with Valencia without reading out a single Twitter Post (as far as I can tell anyway).

Yeah that was cool. Shame Troy is too classy to give anything other than a discrete answer. I think about it a lot though, with footballers. Like, if you know your mate/relative earns £150k per week, that must create all kinds of weird situations and conflicts unless they're super generous with it.
