the start of this week's episode about ireland/germany is just amazing. bit irish-centric obv but i still recommend it.

Yeah both this week's eps of 2nd captains football were great. The bit about Florentino Perez and Sam Allardyce was wonderful. Also 'pudgy faced ruin' is my new insult of choice.

j-wils on fire this week
steinberg and everyone agreeing that wilshere has been stitched up the media was just.................... i have no words
sid at his worst but them asking him for his la liga select xi was such a suicidally bad idea that i actually now reckon they all think he's a cunt and were just giving him enough rope

the whole bit about low's slightly mean/ignorant pre-match comments was great. i was ambiv about the game but now i would LOVE IT if we beat them.

ive got tired of sid lowe's columns and phoned in contributions but he was surprisingly good today
seemed sharper, less grist, better integrated, rather like adil rami would be if bielsa managed him

Glendenning seemingly wilfully mispronouncing names "mourinho" being the main one grates. Also his inability to ever rise above bloke-in-a-pub level of input on anything ever.

Is Gregg Bakowski the worst panel member they've ever had? It's pretty stiff competition I know but he is just the fucking pits. Constantly sounds like he's about to burst into tears.

i had a little go at the new European football one, On The Continent, cause I like wondering how many football matches Andy Brassell is supposed to have watched in a given week, but those twunts from the Football Ramble just make it unlistenable. The presenter one in particular is staggeringly awful
