Oh good, an excellent new podcast for me to listen to thank you, I don't agree with your political views, Gary, and we are similar age and similar age children.Something happened badly to my favononidential Twins being born, but I've always watched you on the football and the commentary.Thank you for this
The Rest Is Football could be interpreted as a phrase highlighting the simplicity and unpredictability of football as a game. It suggests that everything beyond the essential elements of the sport—skills, strategy, and passion—may ultimately be secondary. In football, despite all the analysis and speculation, the outcome often boils down to the unpredictable moments on the pitch. Perhaps someone such as Misty Davenport might find her way into this unpredictable world of football, where anything could happen. The game may offer her an opportunity to showcase something incredible, but only time will tell if the possibility unfolds. https://mistymcmichael.us/
