You know, it's not just the people from America or Canada that listen to your podcast. I'm from Iran and I follow you guys (Hi!). English is an international language, so it would be nice to recognize other people who listen to your podcast whose first language is not English.
I liked what you said about the quality of the chances Man U created. and the game you played? also very interesting. I'm gonna play it, too.
They can All compete but then once again Guardiola wins it.
what a scary pic of Gyokeres! he looks like a killer on the run

And here I was expecting a talk about Saudi Arabia buying famed Japanese developer SNK and having them put CR7 in their upcoming fighting game... Please make more content like this. It's both fascinating and important.
YEEEES! My friends are back! Joooooeeee! finally - missed you so much!
LFG
guys it's a football podcast you're not comedians. less attempts at being funny and meaningless waffle would be great.

a much better podcast without patronising joe
The first 6 and a half minutes of waffling at the beginning are excrutiating
A classic example, alas, if ever you needed one, of the American style of interviewing (i.e. not letting the interviewee finish a sentence before interrupting in an attempt to show you understand) to ruin an otherwise interesting topic.
I think Camavinga and Upamecano would be the new phase of the Premier League. If the right deal comes in the surely there's a lot to be seen from the both players.
@Tifo, Do you guys have a fantasy Premier league group ??
My go to podcast for the new season. Keep it up guys!
this guy was boring.
Could have done without the regular swallowing noises from Alex throughout this episode.
excellent stuff!
Great episode and the subject is fascinating as well
