Jim1999Bravo PhillipeAs an American living in the USA, I’d like to comment on Phillipe’s statement on USA hosting the 2026 World Cup. I’d like to say thank you and very well said.

Peter Guillam“The Scotch Whiskey …… Breakfast”. So named after Lady Alice’s long-time personal Fleet Street hack, The Drunken Sot. *** Of course, The Drunken Sot soiled his dirty trousers with glee - three times - as Sporting defeated his, and Lady Alice’s, forever-hated Manchester City. *** Never fail to hear a podcast shoveling manure for Lady Alice and his thuggish Manchester Divided from The Drunken Sot; Maxine; Johnny, the Jacob Rees-Mogg of the Football Press Box; and the rest of the Fleet Street PR Department.

wbo63Gets better with age.This show has aged well - Max can coax a laugh out of almost any discussion but he’s never phony and is willing to be serious and doesn’t hide from heavier subject matter. May it continue.

Spud22222ReviewAbsolute pleasure listening to these people. I’m in Detroit Michigan.

BearsErrywhereUsed to enjoy the showBut over the course of time, I found myself listening to them less and less. And the times I did listen, I found it becoming a chore to get through an episode. It not being a “fun” or “banter” podcast is fine, but it doesn’t make up for that aspect with high level football analysis. It’s either very on the surface, match highlight reels levels of insight, or reactive punditry to football-narrative drivel from other outlets, such as Sky Sports, and their punditry. Neither of which provides any interesting or insightful view point from the sport they cover. Barring an appearance from the likes of say, Nicky Bandini, most of these guests and hosts have either smug, stale, or uninteresting contributions, filled with lazy narratives and cliches. As a result, the podcast has really gone downhill over the years.

The Lozmeister GeneralBiased, misinformed, tired drivel.Just a really bad, dishonest and lazy ‘look’ at football. This is not analysis.

Uribe5Still a great listenThough more mentions of Barry’s Carabao box and Sid Lowe’s garage full of ham would be appreciated *chef’s kiss*

MattZipHas John Brewin Ever Finished A Thought?If so, who would care?
-
JFraySFSmart GroupI often learn from FW conversations. Please continue to think hard (and with joy) about the game and how it could be even better if we could pull it out of the fire, i.e., awful sports business models, referee abuse, diving/simulation, sexist/racist/homophobic fan behavior…. Speak up for change.

Commerial studFootball pod for people who don’t like footballStopped listening to this pod for a while. Despite Max being a decent host so many of the guests show only a passing interest or enjoyment for the game. Drawn back in by the need for more Euro 2024 content I came back and if anything it’s got worst. Barry is barely coherent - possibly drunk; and the show rambles along skimming the surface without insight or interest. Making a great tournament seem less enjoyable.

Footy JediPodcast Doesn’t Load EpisodesEvery podcast show loads episodes fine except this one. Doesn’t show any, doesn’t auto download any, nothing.

DeWiltzIf you only want surface level analysis the pod is entertainingEdit: shows analysis has really gone down hill. Clutching at pearls over whatever sky sports said the day before. Started listening 9 years ago and now I’ve unfollowed Very similar to sky or espnfc or any other “cover the entire league” coverage. Very narrative driven. Pretty much take what is trending on twitter or whatever sky talk about and welp so will these guys. Use to have more varied analysis but now it seems pretty mainstream
-
NorthernboylivingintheUSMerch requestAfter the last pod, can we get T-shirts or mugs with “Why are you being such a d!ck?” on them? Thanks. Keep up the great work.
-
Gooner2951self aggrandizingStarted out decent, now mostly just about ref protection, pompous and making fun of foreign managers.
-
ChuckollaMax and BarryThere is just something soothing to listen to the contrasting personalities of Max and Barry. They are the Odd Couple of football podcasts and their enduring relationship (or lack thereof) during troubled times is something to make you smile when everything around is such a stench.
-
WorldWideWinderNot fit for purposeThat’s the British phrase right? If you want fairly uninformed opinions that often miss the point then the is is the pod for you!
-
wadxercvOnly listen when Barry is onI only listen when Barry is on but enough with the left wing moral compasses when criticizing Jordan Henderson. Go after him for his poor form, not his views. Barry's humor, gruff and honesty is the only reason i still subscribe.
-
Big C BahamasStarted Good But Now..Became a football fan over the last three years and this was my first podcast. I really enjoy all of the hosts and guest but it’s become not an enjoyable listen. I come for football and good vibes but so many shows are focused on the negative aspects of the football world. I know that’s important but I think all of that deserves it’s own podcast. Frankly, many of those topics are a hard listen and not how I want to spend my listening hours. My caveat is that I throughly enjoyed the podcast with Mr. Townsend and that on his personal grief. So I guess I’m also a hypocrite.
-
markcreJust a good listen.Like a favorite jacket. Comfortable and relaxing. Great characters and I like how they are expanding their line up. Live shows in the US please.
-
JollyjimIt’s just funAll the wankers on here whining about the coverage of their favorite team or of serious issues in the sport are missing the point. Max, Barry and the panel cover the soccer (sorry I’m American) through a Premier League lens but with a wider focus, they have some serious views which are threaded in with the fun of the games (matches) and some entertainment to boot. People complaining on here don’t know how to enjoy themselves at all.
-
Harvey HeatheringtonGreat all around podcastMy uncle told me not to ever trust 1 Star or 5 star reviews, but if anyone was ever deserving of a 5 star, it’s Football Weekly. I’ve been listening for about two years now, and it’s my favorite podcast. Beautifully balanced mixture of hosts, guests, content, and humor.
-
NUWildcats4everGreat showI am starting to follow the Premier League and my friend suggested I listened to this show to become more knowledgeable. Extremely helpful to keep me up with all the teams and have some laughs along the way. Very enjoyable to listen to.
-
StovemenGeneral reviewJust a great football show
-
NathanVTA must listenAfter trying out several popular podcasts, Football Weekly has become an integral part of my weekly routine. Informative, humorous, and full of lively characters covering the Premier League, English football, European Football, and top news around the world.
-
DrainagePipeageLove itI love this show
-
GeoCar5Never miss. I understand there's a competitive podcast, albeit somewhat stuffy. Does it rhyme with "mathletic?" In lieu of an in-person tour, here in the Pacific Northwest, may I have a life-size cardboard cutout of Barry with select voicing to shoo away the tourists?
-
PhilKilSTLHilarious, Insightful and BraveNot only is this group brilliant about their football, they’re unafraid to tackle issues like sports gambling, gender bias and petro-states. Great value and excellent values.
-
CFproffyyYepBest football podcast. Funny, sharp, responsible.
-
DUDEMAN PETESVasectomyCan’t wait to bump this pod during my vasectomy!!!!!
-
JoeMac7345Best soccer podcastI love Guardian Football Weekly, they have a great rotation of guests, but the best thing about it is the tremendously likable host, Max Rushden.
-
Leinstein42Consistent QualityBeen a long time listener for close to a decade now and brevity and insight are welcome additions to car rides, runs, and bike rides. Great football knowledge, and great fun. As an American it can be tough to find content and news on our regular sports networks for football (proper) so Football Weekly has been a great help over the years.
-
Njinnjfavorite football podcastAfter trying many other football podcasts, this is my favorite. It’s both informative and funny and I also like the range of panelists and all their different accents.
-
JFPIBVery honestlyThe best football podcast ever.
-
Sunday1824It’s pretty okAn enthusiastic Englishman, a grumpy Irishman, and a host of guests (nicki bandini is the best, been listening to her for many years) combine to make a somewhat decently enjoyable way to waste an hour of your life. 5 stars out of 10, but apple only provides 5 stars. Lucky you, Football Daily.
-
bgq69Good Pod Made Great by Max RushdenLove listening to see guys and gals. Max and Barry are excellent as are anyone else they have join. But specifically love Max. One of the best Footie pod hosts out there
-
J-Mell18Comprehensive, informed and hilariousSimply entertaining and a companion since 2006
-
greekhurricaneGreat showBeen listening since 2019 and I’m sure I’ll be listening at least until I get a vasectomy. Keep it up and let’s get that US tour
-
Sean from Detroitmy favorite pod since the AC Jimbo daysi never miss an episode and haven’t for as long as i can remember.
-
RichPDXFantastic podcastI started listening during the 2022-23 season and it’s easily my favorite football podcast, and one of my top few favorites overall. Max and Barry are great and there’s an excellent group of other panelists, including Jonathan Wilson, author of Inverting the Pyramid. They do have very thoughtful discussions of issues like sportswashing and treatment of LGBT+ folks, so if you are scared of catching the “woke mind virus,” this podcast may not be for you.
-
DWats21Best football podcastTitle says it all. This is the best podcast for catching up on the weekend premier league games. Max and Barry are tremendous together, along with all the writers who come on each week. Best podcast for football talk, while actually having a moral compass. It’s rare these days. Love the show
-
DCI BanksBest Footie Pod Out ThereBeen listening regularly for 5 years. Had listened to others prior to that and this quickly became my #1 Football pod. The humor, expert analysis, and willingness to tackle serious subjects in football other than the play is what makes it so enjoyable!
-
JEG439Continues to be the best football podcast of them all.The best podcast EVER! Barry & Max and their guests offer the perfect mixture of football knowledge, enthusiasm, skepticism and entertainment. I never miss a podcast.

KingshrikeFun PodGreat football podcast with funny and insightful guest journalists. Also apparently very good listening if you have a vasectomy coming up. Even if you don’t, I highly recommend this show.
-
JAK_101Max said I had to leave a review so I am doingConsistently brilliant! Thanks for all you do.
-
WillValMax, Barry an crewNot to leave anyone out, because everyone on the pod is the best. Best football pod hands down, even if you haven’t had a vasectomy
-
*Mr. Joshua*TerribleMy encounter with this podcast left much to be desired as it failed to deliver the necessary elements for an engaging and memorable listening journey. Unfortunately, the hosts' monotonous delivery, coupled with subpar production quality, lack of structure, excessively long episodes, and unimpressive guest selection all contributed to a lackluster and forgettable experience. In today's expansive realm of exceptional podcasts, this particular offering fell short of even the most basic standards of quality and entertainment. I highly recommend exploring alternative options that feature engaging hosts, well-produced episodes, and insightful content to ensure a truly fulfilling podcast listening experience.

MrMcDingleUnwanted PodcastI did not sign up for this podcast, but it keeps showing in my feed. This has gone on for over 6 months now. Leaving a 1 star review because Apple will not fix the error.
