Brendan! Don't mock the boys for having in-depth knowledge and analysis. That's precisely why people listen to the podcast. I want to hear about how someone in a second div European league is doing, or what our youth depth looks like. I get that it's probably good-natured ribbing, but it still doesn't add much when you do it.
