It’d be quite satisfying to beat Birmingham’s tally. They’ve been talking that record up so much it’d be well funny beating it the very next season and in a tougher division.

If we got to spend the equivalent that they did we’d win every game. Not far off doing that anyway tbh

You heard his vlogs. Not trolling. He has us nailed on as Champions. Every week he gives us high praise as does Sam What's his face.

who isn’t at the moment. It’s ours to lose. Which is why I’m in the must win camp every match.

I think he means that he's trolling this thread - he's reverted to the badge with the missing arrow slits and phoenix eye, hence, subtle...

Thought this was a good video and fair summary, particularly from Sam Parkin -

Yeah likeable guy. Far better than the Second Tier as well, who seem to rely on clickbaits and are irritating to listen to

Since they made that bottom video our form has fallen off a cliff...

Justin has a serious agenda against Frank as he is a Derby fan, he somehow blames him for their subsequent foray into administration - It really is unhinged

Not The Top 20 is a decent podcast. Usually very balanced and know their stuff.

It’s the one I listen to most often. Sometimes their analysis is a bit too brief but that’s understandable considering they go through all the leagues and most, if not all the results.

i listen to BB and Callum Fowler, can't be doing with the others.

Of our matchday vlogs I like Alex Craig's the best. Matt SB has loads of followers but not for me. I like 'That Cov Pod' too I think it's called with Simon, but can't stand the Sky blue fans tv. They're not as bad as that one with Jatty on, but still quite annoying especially the kid with the hat (Jack I think), prize bellend. Something quite weird about older blokes wanting to pretend to be journalists or presenters I think though. As kids perhaps trying to forge a career I get it, but so many believe their hype or that they're some kind of minor celebrity. Go to the pub and chat about the game with your mates instead.

Given that BB is not a city fan I think he’s a good listen. The hat lad..Stats are his friend. The woman talks more sense than the others in their room.They get off on panning our players then a few weeks later they do an about turn.

Simon is excellent on the Cov Pod. Dawkins is marmite of course but does have occasional ITK snippet and is very polished as a show - eg comes out on the evening or morning after the game, not 3 days later when we have all moved in and heard every take

Lamptey show used to be the best as didn’t take itself too seriously but the seem to have given up. If you can’t do a Pod when you are top of the league you probably never will

Sky blues Extra is just boilerplate and never seems to offer anything you haven’t already heard snd seen

The ones that are the worst are those that are just a screen recording of a you tube show. They all seem decent people but they just have terrible opinions, poor tactical appreciation and the production is awful with no editing, pisspoor sound quality etc

I like Alex Craig because he has been doing it for years when we were shit and football vlogs were not much of a thing. Hope he makes a few quid when we go up and gets a load more subscribers.

That second tier podcast is utter bollocks. I like Benjamin Bloom, he seems like a cool dude. Sam Parkin or whatever his name is a bit shite.

I’m in a terrible mood and being a mardy tw@t today so I balanced this post by being nice to at least one of them.

Pretty much identical to where I’m at. I think SBTV aren’t evil it’s just the main presenter talks too much and doesn’t really listen to his guests.

When he does Championship videos James Lawrence Allcott is very good as well, but I like BB and BenHD both very good at remaining unbiased.
My alltime favourite though is Sky Blue Army TV

Real life got in the way. Joey had understandable commitments which made it more periodic. Knowl decided he no longer wanted to do it after the Wembley play off final which changed the dynamic but they found good contributors w Laurie (for a while) and Imogen and Dom (pretty much every episode).

It’s still a reliably excellent listen (and the only Cov pod that always makes me laugh) whenever it happens to occur.

I dont know what they're called but I dont like the one where the guy just swears all time. I mean, I swear all the time, but it just doesn't sound very professional on a blog/vlog.

I think it’s called ‘Your mate Lee’. Bloke with an explorer beard. Seems like a good enough lad but is all over the place and when he says “fuckin” every third word, it gets unwatchable. Not judging coz I swear too much but it’s just not good content in the end.

Made a mistake with this. The guy who I was referring to for too much talking and not enough listening is the guy from All things Sky Blue podcast.

Agree with other comments about That Cov Pod. It’s very polished compared with the others. Presenters don’t interrupt or talk over each other and can be heard at the same volume.

Lamptey podcast was my first love. Gutted they’ve given up and must be absolutely kicking themselves at the timing.

Grimes and Rushworth by a country mile. Nobody else is close as we can replace the others even Mason Clarke who is quality tbf

MVE has been awful this year and I'm sure if Kesler had been decent enough and could throw it long he would have replaced him

I love that the Nii Lamptey show barely missed a week when we were pondering around at the bottom of league 1 and now we’re top of the champ they are nowhere to be seen. Hope they are doing well.

I can’t take the sky blue extra one seriously after someone dug up the hosts tweets supporting Arsenal 3 years ago.
