  • Beyond unbearable

    Where do I start with this host ? He is the most arrogant (no reason to be)smug person you will ever meet he has very limited football knowledge but uses the fact he glazes arteta in press conferences to try talk like he knows what he’s talking about.He speaks to the audience like they are the minors he used to police at school he’s the reason Arsenal fans are a laughing stock the sooner he goes over to Charlton the better WE DONT WANT YOU AT OUR CLUB I’m also concerned about his bloating

  • Banal

    Bloke is a fan of James O’Brien,reason enough to avoid but add to that his smugness and that should convince anyone to find one of the much better AFC pods

  • Diversity

    Sorry Tom - unsubscribed. Enough with the need for diversity. You want diversity in a cockpit of an airplane, or the best pilots? Soccer is no different, ok? Bye bye*

    *Figured I’d give this pod another spin and it’s the same. Too many moral lessons and long winded speeches from the almighty and always righteous TC. Thankfully I found the Latte Firm and Highbury Squad to add to my reg 6 AFC pods. This one is a def no.

  • Horrible

    Tom is never wrong

    Even when he is wrong he is right

    Stopped listening for a month to see if I was being biased but no, this is an absolutely horrible podcast

    Can’t admit any wrong opinions

    Way too confrontational with the people who call in or oppose his opinion

  • Great show

    Loads of effort Tom puts into this show. It’s a great show every day.

    Some of these reviews are so sad that people have put in effort to write such horrible reviews because they are sad wet wipes, while maybe different options can be maybe less welcomed it is still a great show. And these horrible people could just not listen if they don’t like it. Thank you. Great work Tom.
