Music tastes of football podcasters
Dave and his love of Craig David.
Charlie knowing all the words to Evergreen by Will Young.
Career-We-Go lads shouting CHOON about David Gray and Stiltskin.
Don’t get me started on the GFW and Libero lot.
I know we all have different music tastes, but come on!
But then I remembered the stories of the 1990 Ireland WC squad and Chris De Burgh, England 2020 squad and Ed Sheeran…
maybe it’s just a thing that people who work in and around football have beige MOR driving gloves music taste..?

Wayne Rooney is living the dream. Break goalscoring records, be considered one of the greatest footballers in your country of all time, retire early 30s, then get to play winner stays on non stop for the rest of your life.

Is it just me, but someone like Gary Neville has become so famous and ever present since retirement, that it’s weird to remember that he even played the game in the first place.
Nev had a great career but he was such a boring personality and so quiet during his playing career that it was easy to forget he was even there during his Man U and England greatness. But post-retirement, the guy is everywhere, literally everywhere. 1 in 4 of my YouTube recommendations will be the overlap, him interviewing some icon of the game or a MNF highlight. I guess it’s odd to say because Nev had an amazing career but his media career has eclipsed so much of his playing career that it’s even weird to remember that he once played the game.
Maybe it’s just me… do you ever get this with anyone?

Dermot Gallagher - Ref Watch
I've not really watched this before, but am struck by dermot Gallagher. He's like a referee terminator. He gives Bothroyd the death stare when the latter is talking, he speaks only in rules and regulations, and is genuinely annoyed that anybody can question that. And something that just seemed to have been breezed over - he's Irish, and has an Irish accent, which is fine these days, but he does an English accent when he's in England. That's fucking mental.

The Extinction XI in an (almost) extinct format
Inspired by the pod on April 1st, here is the Extinction XI in Ceefax style.
Not sure why I like the Ceefax graphics so much, just feels right doesn't it. Going to try and do more with this style now I have the template designed.

Future Cliches quiz question
Name the previous 12 goalkeepers to have scored when up for a corner.
NB. Doesn't that number seem surprisingly low? I'd have assumed that route was where the mjaority of GK goals came from.

This is from the second series of The Pitt, set in Pittsburgh (and what a TV show that is by the way).
