Four decades of football watching, a memory bank of '90s deep cuts, and an unshakeable belief that the game was better before the offside lines went 3D. Sales leader by day, podcast referee by night — though his decisions get overturned more than most.
Position: The voice of experience
Strengths: Tactical nous, historical references, dramatic sighing
Weaknesses: Any prediction involving penalties
The next generation of football brain — raised on highlights, stats and fearless opinions. Brings the energy, the modern game knowledge, and absolutely zero respect for "how it used to be done". Currently leading the all-time prediction league. Allegedly.
Position: The agent of chaos
Strengths: Stats recall, bold calls, ruthless post-match analysis of Dad
Weaknesses: Loyalty to last week's hot take
Every episode follows the same simple format: a big football question, two very different generations of opinion, and a final verdict. When we can't agree — which is most of the time — the decision goes to VAR: a replay of the facts, a check of the stats, and a ruling one of us will dispute for the rest of the week.
It started as car-journey debates on the way back from matches. Now it's got microphones, a scoreboard, and listeners taking sides. We honestly couldn't tell you whose side Mum is on.
