Football Podcasts. 

Didn't even make the thumbnail, need to up my outrageous takes

Original Tifo with Joe, Seb and Alex being silly yet still serious analysis will never be beaten.

That Pitch Side take where they said that Maradona would just be another St Max in today’s Prem was one of the worst takes in football history

It’s incredible how consistently these podcasts have horror takes

Everyone on the Pitch Side agreeing that Reece James is the best fullback in the world and not mentioning Trent for even a moment is a genuine crime.

The Spurs inside me used to get annoyed by Rory Jennings. Now I enjoy him as a clown show. It's so fascinating to hear some creative takes he keeps making that I can never imagine.

I feel that podcasts are genuinely creating some people with the worst takes in existence, this doesn't apply only to football, it applies to politics, music and really anything you can say your opinion on If you sound confident enough, you almost get a card to say stupid shit, one of the reasons why those "alpha male" podcasts got so popular in the first place really

Rory Jennings gives us top tier bad takes, helps with my bets. I put money on the opposite of everything he says.

Eagerly awaiting the Rory Jennings video tomorrow. "my response to Viveh and why his opinion doesn't matter" Followed the next day, by the video titled "why Viveh makes the best videos and why he'll beat me to 1 million subs"

As a chelsea fan Rory Jennings is an embarrassment to our fanbase

The old Tifo Football Podcast was awesome just for the first 20 or so minutes of Joe Devine being Joe Devine

Rest is football is actually elite, presented by 2 legends and some guy with great energy and understanding of the game

There are 4 kinds of football podcasts. 1.Statistical analyse to form opinions like Tifo 2. Ex players who are just having a chat and give insights into their playing days. 3. couple of friends who like football but, talk mostly about random crap not related with small amount of football Like JLA and the slugs. 4. The worst one where its just a bunch of cretins who are so, blinded by their own clubs past success that they refuse to see anyone else's point of view. Personally Unless I'm looking for stats I prefer option 3.

Appreciate the hard work going into these as per usual, Viz. It's an inspiration for me to do more video essays this year as well compared to last year, so thank you.

I swear podcast needs to stop existing cause everyone is starting one

I feel I've been going fucking insane watching some of these podcasts, thank you for making this video Liam, I needed this.

The best thing about SDS is that there is a different cast every episode compared to pitch side or the club where its the same 3-4 people everytime and its very refreshing to hear footballing opinions in a full 1hr-2,5hr podcast instead of small 10min clips with ads and sponsorships. I genuenly look forward to every SDS podcast because they never fail to make me laugh and see football from a different pov

For pure comedy value the Peter Crouch one is actually so elite haha

The Football ramble for the best mix of banter and actual Football discussion

This is truly a Vizeh moment

Football Ramble doesn't get enough love, its been going since 2007 and it's insightful and funny. The hosts have also been in the football world personally for a long time

Football Cliches are the best at this. They don't make silly takes, they just have fun talking about the language of football and make it hilarious.

My opinion is that a lot of RU-vid style football podcast are a lot like professional wrestling. You know it’s not real, they know it’s not real but you still watch anyways because it’s dumb fun and you like the personalities. It’s not meant to be taken seriously most of the time and the people who learn to understand that earlier probably get the most fun out of it.

I think the issue is that too many people starting a podcast will say the dumbest stuff possible to gain publicity only for that to end up being their main shtick. There are few podcasts that actually analyze football in a proper manner while having fun.A good example would be the old format of the Tifo Football Podcast before they became more professional. I think more podcasts should follow Tifo's style of talking and banter while giving good analysis. I swear Rory Jenning's podcasts consist of him switching his allegiance to which London team he supports

JLA has a great podcast for actual measured football talk.

I was sceptical at first, but I do like you, Vizeh, you've got balls. I'm an Everton fan but lived in Burnley for a bit and saw how much the club meant to the place. Burnley has some history, and the club means as much to the place as Everton does to me. It's almost offensive that people can say that supporting non premier league clubs means you're not a true fan 😂. Do not give people who say things like that a platform 😂.

what is the point of this video? like what is a viewer supposed to come away with? that people on podcast say sensationalized things for views? that isnt even a statement on football podcasts, thats just what all media looks like in 2024. calling the analysis as 'surface level' would be a compliment. this video does exactly what it calls out the podcasts for

I've got my needs satisfied by The Rest Is Football, The Daily Football Briefing (The Athletic), The Athletic Football Podcast and Tifo Football Podcast. I'd honestly say those are the best of the best. The Rest is Football is such a good mix of insightful content and a laugh, and everything from The Athletic/Tifo pure class, always insightful.

Best football podcast I’ve listened to for a long time and has never let me down is the football ramble

Really well thought out video and so bang on. Not mentioning the excellent work and actual journalism of the The Guardian Football Weekly or The Football Ramble is maybe an oversight tho

As a Bournemouth fan, tom garrat saying he would never make a vid again if bournemouth stayed up but he’s still here. What could have been 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Filthy fellas is the best non commercial football podcast out there. They are the real pioneers for all these football podcast that are out.

I used to binge watch your videos, nice to see that you're doing good for yourself

Loved the former Tifo football podcast, listened to it for a long time and it’s still the only place to get serious football analysis & insight into the football world.

this is exactly the type of analysis i've been looking for. Reviewing the reviewers! Very valid points and enjoyable. Subscribed!

tbf with the club i kind of have an understanding on them breaking off the way they did after the way hugh was taking off the show when they switched to twitch with no really words about why (his face was still on their emotes) so i could understand that affecting your feeling of security in the podcast

I thought this was going to be a sly way to introduce us to your football podcast called Keep on Burning

I enjoy pitchside. It's great entertainment that numbs your mind after being at work all day. I never miss a clip

This might be the best football related video that I have ever seen on this platform. Thank you.

Stuntpegg owns all this sht. This is why joey Barton is a spanner. Pure content and she evaporated that clown on sky sports social quiz.

Keep the work up Vizeh.

The Football Ramble is comfortably the best football podcast out there. Great fun, some good opinions and with the likes of Andy Brassell some really analysis on top.

big ups vizeh. finally somebody addressed this issue.

Thanks for this Vizeh. I listen to the Totally Football Show which is sensible conversations about football without any sensationalism. Tifo is good too of course.

I don’t think there is a problem with football podcasts because they don’t have integrity or they have strange takes. The whole appeal of them is they are the conversations we all have with our mates down at the pub. Plus even the big dogs like sky sports and espn arnt exactly a place of football intellectualism either . I think we should just take it for what it is Not every football show or podcast has to be X’s and O’s football

My respect for Laurence McKenna has gone up since the incident with True Geordie. He participated in the video that Geordie done to apologise and didn’t just bail like a rat off a sinking ship. He then went his own way and focused heavily on videos for his own channel, rather than join in with The Kick Off 2.0 just to milk the existing audience.

Thank you for this I’m glad someone else can see what I see

love the video, its good to see Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle doing so well!

good and important video mate. i mostly watch the football ramble which is also british and relatively unknown. They are the top level english football podcast imo. s/o to markus, luke, vish, andy and everyone from The Football Ramble Podcast for their fantastic work!

It is what it is. Back then it was blogs. And now with video, you don’t have to write. You just record what you say and upload it to wherever. With podcasts there’s no need for fancy editing, just people talking about stuff and it won’t stop because that’s what people do. People like to voice their opinion, be it writing, radio, or video. There’s a lot, but you just have to do your part and filter what you want and don’t want to hear.

there shud be a few mainstream podcasts that discuss football in general and each club should have one or two depending on size of club because lets face it everyone likes hearing about their club so each club having one presented by a proper fan who travels home and away and has an understanding of the innerworkings of their club,i know there is forums and messageboards but a podcast to listen to after a bad result for example is great for context and realism possibly better than the sometimes overly toxic forums

I love your content Vizeh, and i respect the grind in the last weeks! ❤

Loving the vids recently viz. Hope Burnley stay up 🙏

Thank you for this. As an American football fan trying to expand his knowledge and understanding of the game, I can see the prevalence of this all the time. I haven't found many creators that I watch regularly because of either their unwavering bias for their own team or the content-for-clicks, as I call it. Anyone with honest recommendations for people I should check out, I'd really appreciate it. Besides the team I support, I've been watching Hughwizzy, JLA, Vizeh, Football Daily (but less and less lately), and HITC Sevens. Again, any recommendations are appreciated.

Rory's predictions are on a par with Alan Hansen's "You'll never win anything with kids" which preceded the most successful era in Man Utd history.

I was shocked when i found out that Rory was in Doctor Who and Eastenders

Used to love the kick off when hughwizzy was on it to balance out the madness of rory and the shit the other guys said, went massively downhill after he left, for decent football content anything by james allcott is normally a win

Great video. Don't get me started on Rory. Keep up your style.

Loving the vids recently mate! Good work!

Yes, it feels like a marketing ploy most of the times. It is like Cinema Sins. Every video has at least one "sin" that is objectively wrong or seems to misunderstand a concept (unlike simply making fun of it) and after I have been made aware of this, I catch the one almost every time. It is only there to increase comments and it is quite ingenious.

I went back to watching the kick off after a year and surprisingly enjoyed it. I thought I’d miss Laurence and Buvey. Nice to have some unknowns bounce off TG.

I genuinely think that Lewis from Pitchside has had a bigger negative impact on neutrals opinion of Newcastle than the Saudi state owning us.

As a Leeds fan The Square Ball is a quality pod. Not sure how many other club fan podcasts are out there but I reckon these are the best. Shoutout to Fozcast and Not the top 20

That intro could literally be taken out of a convo I’ve had with my mates, luckily we all have adhd so we never got around to it…

Trent does get in Liverpool - Utd combined 11 over Gary Neville. 100%

The only podcast I can deal with without banging my head off a wall is anything James Lawrence Alcott does

Thank god someone has addressed all of this 😂

Me and my mate have to make a podcast for music we’re gonna revolutionise the footballing podcast scene

Saturday Social is a prime example of football hipster delusion. Still cant believe they ditched Soccer AM for Thogden and Rory Jennings

Goldbrige the real goat 🐐 great video vizeh.

This needed to be addressed. Thank you

Used to Watch fds sunday vibes with Chris Hamil, Joe and Patrick van straaten. I think they were all quite reasonable and a bit before the outrageous era

Am I crazy for agreeing with half of these takes!? Foden is the definition of a luxury player. Newcastle will finish above Chelsea is sensible. Welbeck should be in a shout for a call up. It’s all opinions ig

I watch pitchside the kick off and the club and they’re all so entertaining

i love pitchside its so funny becuase they all have no idea

Love your content Vizeh. I don’t mind some of these podcasts like pitchside. We all know they’re just talking rubbish but sometimes it’s good fun to turn your brain off and have a laugh. The contents free at the end of the day and if every person had spot on football takes most videos would be boring as hell. The ones I can’t stand I simply don’t watch 😂

I actually like The Rest is Football and Stick to Football.

whats really getting worse is youtube offering me these fucking crap videos where people attack other CCs

The View From The Lane is Class

The funniest thing is I was looking at something else while you were talking about saying the most ridiculous things and the first person that came to mind was Jennings, imagine my delight when I turned to the screen to see his face lol.

SDS is an island of actual ball knowledge in this ocean of intolerable takes. Also Foden is a bit of a luxury player

PitchSide is an absolute gem of a pod.

Yes, putting the most ruthless finisher on the planet in a team who create the most chances was never going to end up any other way, Rory. He doesn't need many chances to score but happens to be playing for a machine that won the league with 93 points (I think) and was a few minutes away from a CL final.

that troy deeney clip is insane 😂😂

I love rory, he knows exactly what he's doing; playing the villain

The best one for me is the Stick to football one. Even seen Roy Keane have fun there. Lots of people hate on Jill tho and I don't know why because I don't get annoyed by her at all. It's also nice to have a representative from the womens football. SDS is a mix of jokes and serious ball talk. If you follow it every week it you can follow a story line like f.e. Arsenal bottling the title last year and it can be quite funny. Everyone kinda knows that it's not too serious, it's full of agendas. The Club and Pitchside tho.. They are the cancer of football podcasts.

Thankfully there's plenty of channels out there that aren't mostly engagement bait. Also thankful Pitch Side hasn't made it into my feed

My suggestion is that we start a podcast exclusively about the bad takes and drama within the football podcast universe.

1 thing I will say for Lewis on Pitchside I dont think he's as stupid as he seems, he's just biased. And I think everybody is going to be biased towards/against their own club. That's purely because you watch every single game of your club, and normally with more attention than other clubs, so you will have way more opportunities to analyse the players in your own club Some daft things said on that pod, but in all honesty, the majority of daft things said on that pod (excluding bias) are said by theo

A little bit off topic, but your audio is always waaaay to quiet. Sincerly, someone who watches very video and always has to adjust the volume😅

This is a brilliant video and should be watched by everyone

I really enjoy the insight from The Rest Is Football

I think this video is a bit of an overreaction to the concept of a podcast. Rory said himself. If u say so much about something u will consistently say something mental cause for 10 sane things u say that no one will talk about you’ll always have an absolutely insane quote that’ll get mentions for years

This is what happens when football pods used to be reserved for journalists and over 40s. Now it’s been invaded by RU-vidrs who whole schtick is their “personality” and “fandom” the latter of which is hilarious because none of them go to games now because they watch them all on stream.

If you want to listen actual good podcasts then Listen to The Guardian weekly podcast especially when they get Jonathan Wilson on. The Times podcast also do actual analysis and then finially The Athletics Tactical Podcast with Michael Cox.

Instead of being wound up, I’d love to give a wee heads up to the boys at the SempreMilan podcast. The analysis and discussion is probably the best I’ve seen for an English-speaking podcast about a non-English side.

I mainly listen to Pitchside, not necessarily because of their opinions. The chemistry and comedy between the four of them is unmatched. As much as I enjoy the ' corporate' podcasts for solid football opinions, they become monotone to me after a while, whereas Pitchside has the chat with your mates down the pub sort of vibe which I much prefer listening to.

It’s not all pitch side cast, it’s just Lewis

Never related to a video more. Bravo, new subscriber earned.

Prime Football Daily was my favorite ever. Sunday Vibes, Continental Club.. prime coverage of the European game.
