Customer Reviews
Not Football Weekly.
It's certainly not a bad podcast, but in a podcast world inundated with football podcasts, this is a lesser example. The interviews are quite often boring, the commentators rather dry (are they reading off cue cards?), the humour scripted, and the guests pretty unspectacular. The Times is pretty late in the pod game and probably has a year or two to get this one up to standard. For my money, I like the Guardian's Football Weekly.
Excellent but one big problem ..
I really enjoy Marcotti and Edgar and most of the guests. The format of the show is well done and it is always worth a listen - especially to us Brit exiles abroad. But Balaguet is very irritating. Everything has to come back to Liverpool FC. Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool. It is infuriating, especially to those of us who have no time for that organisation or their utterly annoying, arrogant fan base. Yes Guilhem, I know you don't quite get it, but most fans hate Liverpool and are not interested in hearing you just drone on and on about how wonderful Gerard and Benitez are.
Good Start and Welcome Addition to Football/Soccer Podcasts
Danny Kelly, Tony Cascarino, and Gabriele Marcotti are all well known commentators and columnists on the European Footballing scene. The show is entertaining even if the segment "News Headlines with Sound Effects" was just completely lame. The rest of the show was good and informative and worthy of a listen and subscription to the weekly show. Good Start.
