Obviously your friend did not watch the game, he just checked the scoreline (3:2) and decided it was a close game.
James Richardson is woefully underutilised on television. He’d be a great host for something like MOTD2, or a Soccer Saturday/Final Score type programme. He’s a warm, witty and intelligent presence on screen.
Is the Athletic pod behind a paywall? Used to listen to him on the Guardian pod on the regs a few years back.
Here is podcast
Its the totally football show. The Athletic bought it a few years ago. Its on all your usual providers.
I’ve listened since the first episode in 2017 haha. Best football podcast out
To be fair, it was a close game.
Closer to being thrashed 5-0 than the 3-2 scoreline suggests.
That bald guy (not the host) is brilliant, explaining many important tactical details in a very simple, quick way. You just can see right away he knows what’s he talking about.
“VAR takes all the emotion away”
How beautiful not to see a phone in sight and just enjoying the moment
(Except for the guy recording lol)
So much energy and joy and then there were two mugs amongst that crowd
