Legit nothing good about The Game podcast. Oh wait, Phil Jupitus doesn't host it any more, that's an improvement.

Mickolution posted:Anyone been listening to The Anfield Wrap? I'm pretty close to giving up on it, bit biased even for me. S'awright. The pure aggressive sign off on episode 2 (can't remember what it was about) was pretty cringe-worthy. Actually, the cake part on ep 1 (I think, or maybe 2) was pretty horrific too. In sum, great show, thanks.

Barry is great, he seems a very intelligent bloke. He often mentions doing research about small things that others don't bother too. The Sunday Supplement stuff was pretty embarrassing (for the SS guys).

Monday Bandele posted:I think he's quite amusing and clearly doesn't take anything too seriously. He's also the most entertaining writer on the site, even though he often gets lumped with the most tedious topics to write about. Agreed, he strikes the balance well pn the site. Sid Lowe's bizarre La Liga recaps are insane. Rafa's are incredibly dry at times. Oh yeah, Duarte was the star of the show last night, as per usual.

Hoops posted:This might come across as stupid thing to say, but I'm always impressed by Auclair, Honigstein and Duarte's eloquence in English. Obviously they're all journalists, but I've never met any non-natives that are so fluent in idioms and able to be as witty and natural in a second language. It doesn't seem like a joke is ever lost on any of them, which is definitely the hardest thing to achieve in language, especially considering the amount of puns in Football Weekly. Yes, this. Very impressive.

When I could put up with the podcast, the profiles were often the most interesting part. Granted, you'd get some guy you'd not heard of but those usually turned out to be worth a listen, and if not, ah well, switch it off.

God, listened to The Anfield Wrap's opinion of the Suarez/Evra accusations. Not an ounce of objectivity. Calling the allegations (almost) racist against Suarez... Awful stuff. Every time I listen to this, I hate it. After a few weeks, I try again, but no. Shite.

Had no idea there was one on Sat. Found today's reference to an audience strange. You think they'd have advertised it, they normally do months in advanced. I actually hate the live ones, and the video ones. Stupid gimmicks. Also, hate Rob Smyth, the snivelling, stuttering weasel. He's a oval office but him bring up the assault on Glendenning was poor. I realize Barry would laugh it off and all but it just galled me a little for him to shoehorn the story in.

Sid is what everyone stereotypically hates about London based football. Snidey shite, odds, snivelling "Well, I said" crap"... blah blah. gently caress all insight. Give me Auclair, Honegstein, Duarte, Bandini. We KNOW about the loving premier league. And don't get that Ewan oval office involved in the Scottish issues, oval office knows gently caress all.

The Pod (Guardian) is getting too stupid. Really starting to appeal to the idiot majority (missing James' jokes, the quick cuts to idiots who happen to be in Kiev etc.) I listened to Guillem & Gabrielle's Game podcast today. Marvellous. Both just really happy their country had made it to the final and confident they were going to win. I never listen to The Game podcast because I have ears but this was really worth listening to, 20 mins, good preview for the final.

There's a lot of Worst Guys, mostly the UK based, eh, English ones. Greg Roughly (Bakowski) and AC Jimbo are about the only decent English guys I can think of off the top of my head. Sid Lowe too but he doesn't really count. More foreigners please! Duarte, Baz, Rafa, Leander etc.

The stand-ins are shite. And it's not really a free podcast; it's a Guardian podcast, with a shitey advert at the start and the end. Sid is great, by the way. Glad to hear anything but EPL shite. Rangers go out of business and Celtic qualify for the Champions' League but do these idiots mention it? No, they're more interested in QPR's signings. Ridiculous. The pod is only worth bothering with when they don't discus English football. Here's a Glasgow based podcast you may like, it's in the vein of Football Ramble but not anywhere near as annoying - The Full Jairzinho (http://thefulljairzinho.podomatic.com/).

jyrka posted:Why should they talk about the SPL? They barely ever mention the leagues in Cyprus and USA too. Eh? How many Cypriots or Americans listen, compare to Scottish people? There are a lot of Scottish players and managers doing well in England right now. In fact, what the gently caress are you even on? Scotland has one of the biggest stories of sporting corruption in our lifetime and you're questioning why they would mention it?! gently caress off.

I mean, gently caress off anyway because yer being disingenuous, but there you are, with your new terms. As IF I wasn't talking about football cases, by the way, in a football thread in a football thread. Actually, name me 3 on par in sports in general (as we'll look at how they were covered, in comparison to Rangers). Thick bastard.
