Guest Chubby Jason Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The Guardian podcast is hideous. Arrogant, unfunny and smug would be how I'd sum up pretty much all of their panelists, especially Richardson the bloke's a fucking cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Been getting into World Football Phone-In, good discussions. Their U.S.-correspondent Sean "Big Wheel" Wheelock is a bit of a douche. Grantland's Men in Blazers is a favorite, though they cater mostly to a North American audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was even better when Andy Brassell was on, I'm not keen on their African correspondents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I dunno, I just don't like him. Anyone with the nickname "Big Wheel" has to be a bit of a turd. Vickery is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This is the time of year I try to get back into football podcasts, listened to Ramble and Football Weekly so far and already remember why I gave them up so quickly last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've completely packed in with all of them. Will probably still listen to the Tuesday Club but don't miss the rest really. Might start again when we're not shit, though God knows when that might be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I could barely bring myself to listen to any last season. In defense of Football Weekly: I don't mind Glendenning that much, he's just a troll and I think he sometimes has some valid stuff going against the normal opinion, but god yeah he's annoying a fair bit, albeit with him and Johnathan Wilson (who I actually like a fair bit) bit too much Sunderland talk. Rafael Honigstein, and some of the other contributors are good, I don't think it's as terrible as all that but yes it is quite meh. I haven't found one I like that much tbh, the Ramble is too matey and 'banter'-y, full of shit injokes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Sid Lowe is a great writer actually, trouble is Spanish Football has got pretty boring, all Barca Real and all the rest in varying degrees of financial distress (sorry VI) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Has anybody listened to the True Faith podcast? No fan of the Fanzine but I think the two that do the podcast are pretty sound. Only listened to the last couple and it's alreet. I've just listened to my first ever, the new one and it's pretty good. They had Michael Martin on and the three of them summed up the summer fairly comprehensively, definitely worth a listen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 There is an Irish one called secondcaptains@theirishtimes that is decent enough. They used to have a successful radio show for 3 hours each night but resigned and are now doing pods on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Its mostly about the premier league and European football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The Spanish Football Podcast is a new one by Sid Lowe and Phil Kitromilides on obviously enough La Liga, only 1 episode of it so far but could be worth keeping an eye on if your interested in Spanish football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Haven't listened to The Ramble for a few years, got a bit tired of their 'bantz' and I don't particularly like Lukey Moore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like him but I think there's times he tries too hard. I noticed they've got rid of the profile section now, always thought that feature took up too much time of the show.

ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Stopped listening to the Ramble about a year ago now I think. Not that I completely dislike it, just can't be particularly arsed about it especially when we're so shite. I do think there's a pretentiousness and smugness to it that wasn't there when they first started out, particularly from Luke. It's even more apparent if you follow them on Twitter. Still listen to WFPI mostly in the gym or on the bus, always remains interesting because of Vickery but definitely weakened by Brassell going. The African experts are rubbish, Wheelock is lost outside of MLS or US national team and you can see why Adebayo has the grave shift doing Up All Night. Not a good host IMO. The show was always at its best when it was the Vickery/Brassell combo and they talked enough to stop Dotun's interruptions. Tuesday Club is still by far the best podcast of the lot but churns out some duff ones more frequently now with the same discussions going round it circles. Wouldn't be surprised if they fucked it off this year if Arsenal have an underwhelming window and season, with maybe the odd one off episode instead.

timeEd32 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Ramble makes me laugh out loud multiple times a week. That's enough for me, especially when we suck. I find it hard to listen to any podcast that doesn't have Newcastle representation. Too many stereotypes and generic opinions otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show was always at its best when it was the Vickery/Brassell combo and they talked enough to stop Dotun's interruptions. I can't listen to the ones with the African correspondents on at all like. I'd say one of the biggest problems with the show is that a lot of the callers are regulars and they seem more interested just getting on air and making a joke about Dotun eating all the biscuits rather than coming up with decent questions they want answered. There's also a lot of times where Vickery goes of on a tangent when he knows the questions are pretty generic and Dotun tries to reel him in and then proceeds to waste the next few minutes singing and making awkward jokes.
