I have been really enjoying the soccer a-z podcast, brings back a lot memories from when I was kid watching the soccer am tv show on Sky. Lovejoy this week made comment about loudest football stands in the 80’s & said that the kop,stretford end ,holt end were great but the gallowgate end was crap. @31:55

 

 

I wasn’t around back then & I am interested get some opinions from fans who went to home games back in the day.  Is lovejoy talking out of his backside or is true. 

Yeah I've watched most of these aswell, shame it will probably be done after next week.

 

Funny how he hasn't won a week yet, get the feeling he's a bit bitter about it now 😂

 

Used to love Soccer AM, sometimes watch old clips to reminisce.

Probably best to ignore everything that smug prick says.

Find it very hard to believe that Tim Lovejoy was travelling away to Chelsea games in the 80s

New, presumably 'more thoughtful' football podcast just started. First ep is about our cup win + sportswashing starring Delaney, Liew and Ronay - so don't all rush at once to give that a listen. Second is Rory Smith and Jonathan Wilson on Tuchel.

That’s an impressive lineup of smug cunts. Like they’ve managed to get the A grade, Champions League level pundit when it comes to pretentious nonsense and loving themselves. A top tier top 5. 

[Yorkie]

Listened to The Athletic FC episode with Mark Clattenberg seeking validation about my VAR opinions. I can't put my finger on why but he seems a bit of an odd bloke. That role he took up at Forest was strange; being paid to let a mad Greek bloke vent at you about dodgy penalty calls. Easy money I suppose.

can't have a discussion of tim lovejoy without linking taylor parkes' review of his book:

Quote

Lovejoy on Football is part autobiography, part witless musing, and one more triumph for the crass stupidity rapidly replacing culture in this country. Hopelessly banal and nauseatingly self-assured, smirkingly unfunny, it’s a £300 T-shirt, a piss-you-off ringtone, a YouTube clip of someone drinking their mate’s vomit. Its smugness is a corollary of its vacuity. I hope it makes you sick.

That Dwight Gayle interview is class. Well worth it just to hear him wax lyrical about King Edward.

Football cliches quiz coming to digital in September.

[Yorkie]

Not sure how it evaded me for so long, but just started listening to It Was What It Was, where Jonathan Wilson basically just talks for an hour about some football fascination from yesteryear.

 

Really dunno how I missed it because I listened to a bunch of his similar ones under the umbrella of The Blizzard, which just suddenly seemed to stop (presumably replaced by this).

 

Absolutely A1 football podcasting; the last two on Revie's Leeds were terrific. Wilson's maybe the best in the business tbh; shame he's a Mackem.

Cheers for this, Yorkie. I’ll tune in tomorrow.

You're welcome. There's even a two-parter on Liverpool's famous 4-3 win over Newcastle in the 90s!

Listened to the one about the death match involving FC start. It’s said escape to victory is based on it. Fascinating stuff

Amanda Staveley is the lastest guest on that high performance podcast

It's his ridiculous put on accent

Listening to the athletic podcast on illegal piracy, no idea why as so far it's basically an anti privacy PSA.

 

We got as nuanced as the 3pm blackout.

Rare listen to chronicle podcast and the the blokes saying he wishes the derby was a top of the table clash, George Caulkin saying similar on his pod, how can people be so wide of the mark?

Sod that. Wish it was an annual Third Round FA Cup tie with them being a mid-table Championship team.

We do. Gallowgate shots/all with smiling faces. Rarely misses the mark

Stopped listening to it. They all seem like nice fellas. But they get bogged down having petty arguments over the same point for ages. Sometimes seems like 10-20 minutes. 
 

TF has too many helmets on there these days and Charlotte seems to be on every single one. She is unbearable. But I’ll listen now and then. 
 

Binned off the Caulkin one. Worst of the lot by a mile.
