Just me, or is there an issue with the sound on some recent shows (Pink after Villarreal for example), where it sort of cuts out quite often?


Ben Johnno saying "fucking" every second word didn't help either.

It's presumably a noise gate to try to cut down the background noise - it does sound a bit weird but probably done to work in a very noisy environment. Not sure for the better though.

And that's saying something because he talks a lot of waffle.

I'm still having him predicting Spurs to finish above us in 19/20 as #1.

,I was chuffed when I heard there would be a midnight caller every week, I really enjoy the show. however when they did the City one about their marketing and fan attraction, I found it very weird that there Uefa sanctions and statue of limitations were not even mentioned.

The exception seems to be offensive chanting, which is good

I'm glad I'm not the only one saying this. He talks a lot of absolute shite dressed up as musing, intellectual analysis. Not mad into his smug humblebrag tone either.

Edit -
,I was chuffed when I heard there would be a midnight caller every week, I really enjoy the show. however when they did the City one about their marketing and fan attraction, I found it very weird that there Uefa sanctions and statue of limitations were not even mentioned.

On this point, I think that TAW in general have become a bit more willing to be critical about City than previously. There were some pretty sarcastic things said by Neil and John about the recent commercial results for example, and Gutmann is always willing to put the boot into the artificiality of them as a club that challenges for everything.

However, Rory Smith does seem to weirdly do a lot of verbal and mental gymnastics in order to not criticise City at all. I've posted it before, but it ends up very "good people on both sides". This isn't just on TAW either - have heard similar from him on Second Captains. And it's one thing if it's just too much of a ballache to criticise them because of their online fanbase/bots, or if you're worried about legal action. I can understand some of that to a point. But when you're participating in shows like this specifically to critically analyse them and offer real opinions, then being unwilling to say anything bad about them at all becomes problematic.

I only subscribe to read Johnnos ratings never bothered reading or listening to the rest of it haven’t got the time

They put them on their website and FB page so I imagine you don't have to subscribe to see them.

Anyone else getting two notifications for every show at the moment? Not a major issue but I get excited every time thinking I've got 2 new shows to listen to!

Pretty sure it was then yeah, if not then towards the start of 18/19, but doesn't feel that long ago.

I've always held the impression he thinks Klopp's a bit over-rated or something.

As one of said "whingers", I'm happy to say that I thought the Pink from Villarreal was great. With the one from Wembley, I brought up that giving listeners atmosphere is fine, but it's a question of balance. I thought Tuesday's one got that spot-on. Gave you a feeling of what it was like being there, but was still very listenable and had the excited voices and opinions I look for in the post-match show. Well done to Gibbo and the rest for it.

Side note - the music in the background of the preview pod from Benidorm was one absolute tune after another. Great stuff.

Really enjoyed the pink, not because it was a particularly the best podcast ever, but Gibbo saying were trying to mix analysis with reaction/atmosphere showed a great level of awareness and customer service that was well appreciated.
