If he got a 7M check he’d take a 20% pay cut too. Is this elementary school where you can’t chew gum unless you brought a piece for everybody in the class? Go play in your sandbox you whimp this isn’t the Soviet Union. Take your utopian views to a country that puts it into practice and makes it a reality of your. Nobody does without and everyone gets a fluffy bunny along with a 500sf apartment in a pale yellow building. I hope that would be to your liking because if it’s not I wouldn’t recommended expressing your enlightened views. Utopia doesn’t take to kindly to that.

The analysis tends to be pretty good, the commentators seem reasonably thoughtful and knowledgeable. But can we get if the unbelievably intrusive “music” that impedes listening? Have the producers never listened to this podcast on earbuds for god’s sake? Also, cut the “stand up” and change the name of “extra time” to “wasted time”.

First thing I listen to in the morning.

I listen/watch this show pretty much daily. I like everyone but Ale, and Stevie. I’m pretty sure Ale watches maybe one of the games they are reviewing, then repeats his same old lines when talking about other teams. Never really offers a proper response and tends to make a pile of odd noises throughout the show. Stevie is simply so biased it’s hard to take him seriously. He eats up time on the show and genuinely gets mad when contradicted. Dan is fantastic, witty, and knows how to trigger each guest. Shaka and Burnley actually provides a pretty none biased view on EPL teams.

Check out the Elite Pundit Show. It’s a better podcast!

I really enjoy the chemistry/rapport between Andy and JJ. Andy is my favorite 😁. The podcast is a a fun and informative listen. They cover lots of interesting topics and issues related to football. What I think I really like is that they aren’t too aggressively male in their tone and delivery, which makes it a pleasant listen. And I enjoy their occasional bickering. Very relatable, though I mostly side with Andy 🤣

Mostly good; the guests who are professional journalists or pundits are far superior to the largely unintelligible ex-pros. Someone really needs to explain to Burley what “rhetoric” actually means. It’s not interchangeable for conservation/argument or comment. “Would the leper change his spots?” Rhetoric gold from Burkey.

Curb, Futbol, Film 👌🏾

Love the show daily. Not a fan of caught offside though.

Gab and Jules Pod -- Feb 10, 2020

Please increase your sound quality.

Listening to this is similar to listening to the empty brain bimbos on the bachelor. You hear the word Like 1000 times. Try “similar to” or “such as.” Had to turn it off.

Awesome

Love Love Love this podcast

I like the accents. Plus a great podcast.

I like this pod enough to listen dailey, but its a little too personality oriented around pundits, rather than focusing on the sport itself. Also, theres guaranteed to be incorrect analysis or idiotic opinions at least once every other pod. For example, Shaka, adrian and ale went 2 shows thinking rashfords played through the middle this season when hes been deployed on the wing the entire year. Stuff like this makes me feel as if i know more about the modern game than they do at points. Ive come to find much better and accurate pods out there. But if youre looking for a basic summary of football day to day, then u may enjoy this pod. However, I much prefer gab and juuls input along with caught offside and the serie awesome pod that is also uploaded on a weekly basis and would recommend those 3 all above espn daily.

I watch or listen to ESPN FC daily. It’s highly focused on the Premier League but I like that. Caught Offside is excellent. Gab and Jules are entertaining too. I don’t really care for Serie Awesome.

I was so Looking forward to this podcast. I want to listen about football and news about my favorite mx teams and players, not two guys giving each other attitude and talking over each other. Terrible podcast skills good idea though

Gab and Jules are amazing. Some good analysts on the regular show but the tv show-converted-to-podcast format isn’t the best. Caught offside is not enjoyable for me.

I watch the show religiously on plus, huge fan of the crew. Maybe stevie, craig, ale do some deep tactical analysis on a touch screen of mistakes that led to goals and really good goals. Just a suggestion

It’s very good for a soccer fan just wish it was longer like at least an hour long.

Self indulgence is the hallmark of American sports commentary. Just listen to five minutes of Colin cowherd. You’ll be guaranteed to hear some analogy relating back to his life or his wife or his high school sports experience. This is typical american behavior that is not so prevalent in England which is refreshing to americans like myself. The Jamie Horowitzation of american sports commentary has infected you and everyone else in the states to varying degrees, and yet you want your English colleague take some culpability for your behavior. Get a grip

OH MY WORD!!!! Turn down the music!!! Dec 28 episode SOOOOOO hard to hear “Extra Time” section. This has the potential to be SOOOOO good! But sadly there is far too much banter, and a lot of old fashioned old bro machismo mentality... When they are on trips to games in exotic locations like the CL Final in Madrid, it’s good to hear a little of their experience, travel, food etc, the life of a sports journalist, it can be interesting for a min or 2... but they seem to talk about that stuff ENDLESSLY. Please remember football first. The last 4+ mins of today’s pod is SOLELY that. Will keep listening for now, but hoping the banter is tamed and the background music quietened or dropped. Oh, and STOP TALKING ABOUT GOLF!!!

👍

I look forward to this pod daily and am thankful it’s so often. Aside from Stevie’s default general smugness and (understandable but still consistently annoying) Liverpool bias, I love everything about it. Soccer pod rankings: ESPNFC = Men In Blazers > 2 Robbies > Gab & Juls > BBC Football Daily > Caught Offside > Total Soccer Show

Generally decent, but a a few things block it from being great. 1, Very repetitive story lines whereas many other footy podcasts find new angles. 2, Some of the guys just repeat the same thing louder instead of making their point with stronger logic, so it often turns into a bit of a yelling match. It has the potential to be amazing if the shouting can be converted into more intelligent debates. 3. The cheesy background music is a nuisance more than helpful. There’s a reason no other podcasts do this. It’s more suitable for ESPN TV top 10 highlights, but throws off the rhythm of the dialogue and actual topics of a podcast. Cheesy gimmick and a distraction from what truly matters. So all in all, less noise and distraction and more substance and logic would make it awesome. A shame Honigstein isn’t on anymore, he was quite brilliant. Sid Lowe, Honigstein, and Julien Laurens would make a brilliant podcast on their own!

Psyched on Gab! He brings a different POV from the predominant English paradigm. He also loves the sport, which is highly respectable.

Jules + Robo and Gab + Robo are both better than Gab + Jules. I would keep Mr. Robson and rotate Gab and Jules as the proverbial wingbacks of this podcast.

I love every show presented on here, except that Gab and Juuls show... it’s just sooo boring! Gab puts me to sleep. I hate it whenever it’s Gab and only 1 other person. He tries too hard to be an analyst that he ends up just contradicting himself over and over and in the end, he doesn’t even know what he said.

The cast is a perfect mix of football knowledge and entertainment. They know how to keep us informed while making sure we have a good time!

Hit or Miss. Would rather hear about EPL, Bundesliga, international matches and MLS. Don’t care about Serie A or Ligue 1. Gab Marcotti is a good writer but horrible on a podcast.

The debates are interesting and informative. Keep up the good work.

Not sure they actually watch the games.

I am a big fan of the Espn FC show. I have an espn plus subscription just to be able to watch that show daily. When I heard that Gab and Juls are doing a podcast together, I was keen to have a listen. Unfortunately, I will stop listening from this moment onwards for one reason : Gab Marcotti. It’s unbelievable how rude he is to the guests on the show, to players and managers he talks about. I am appalled at the tone he takes when he speaks on this show. Unsubscribe.

Best podcast for soccer and a lot fun to listen to. These guys do an awesome show daily. Extra time is absolutely fun and out of this world, so afterwards I head over to YouTube to watch what I’ve just listened to. Seriously can’t get enough. Keep it up. 👌

The podcast is ok... there are a lot of background noise, echo issues and even the sound goes out sometimes( I switched my headset, tried using the phone speaker and even switching to my iPod/IPad. The issue still persist.

Great pod cast listen in my free time

I really don’t understand what is this podcast about? Is it a professional breakdown or analysis of soccer games? Or just a bunch of ex soccer players expressing their opinions about games and players? Like for example you see a title like Real Madrid’s rebound, talk about Real Madrid for 3 minutes and one of the guys says:”enough of the boring game” and let’s talk about Barcelona and how great they did? Barcelona btw had an awful game if it wasn’t for their goalkeeper, Getafe this season is awful at home. It is just confusing.

Good enough show but they blatantly ignore the 2nd/3rd best league in the world. They will talk more Serie A then German football which makes no sense.

It’s all gossip and drama-driven. Cast is okay but Ali offers nothing. No tactics or game breakdowns. Sad that the nations leading sports broadcasting company decides this is good soccer coverage

Keep them coming

These guys screaming I mean actually screaming rubbish at each other is one of the worst football podcast around. Everyone involved in the show should seriously embarrassed. The whole tone of the show is wrong. Who is executive producer?? Do us favor mate. I’m Shattered that Gab has to work on this clown show.

I’m a big PSG fan and I think that you could talk about them a little bit more than you do but other than that all Around a good podcast. Also love Juls

Good show. Gab needs to not breath in the mic though

Started watching ESPNFC a few years ago and when they created the podcast I was hooked. Every morning I download the pod and listen on my drive to work. The guys are hilarious and more importantly it seems like they are given a bit more freedom than the usual talking heads sports show. Great chemistry and I usually agree with almost everything they say, even if it’s hard truths about my beloved Chelsea.

If you are a soccer fan this pod is a must. Helps you keep up to date on all the biggest leagues. Even covers the lower levels. Always entertaining.

I look forward to listening to this everyday but this year the serie A is a big topic and I don’t get it. It’s a boring league I’d rather hear about the mls. There is only one team that ever wins the serie A. Even the French league is more interesting bc at least they have Mbappe and Neymar. Please stop making serie A a priority. I turn off the pod or change pods when you talk about Italy. I don’t mind transfer updates and big news but half the pod on Italian football is too much. I never listen to gab and his serie lame podcast bc it’s dry and puts me to sleep. If anything you need more caught offsides pods and drop the serie A nonsense.

thank you for uploading this daily. makes my drive more enjoyable.

Off the bat - I’m a massive Arsenal fan so there’s a large part of my bias as it concerns this podcast. The fact remains: through two weekends, there are two teams with full points, Liverpool and Arsenal. But instead of hearing about how Arsenal’s handful of new signings are doing or how exciting the match-up at Anfield will be this weekend, the podcast is riddled with gossip/banter-based Man United/City discussion. Ultimately, I’d rather hear football content that covers tactics, player performance trends, and team form with the scope of the full league in mind than trend-baiting coverage like, “Do Man United Have a Penalty Problem?” two weeks into the season.

Love the newer Gab & Juls pod and Serie Awesome pod with Gab, Mina and Nicky! The main show is entertaining but the spin-offs provide the best insight and analysis, keep it up! Caught Offside… I mean what can you say, I look forward to every ep; the boys on there have been putting out quality for years
