In these times where particularly female presenters are scrutinised, I just want to say Natalie Pike is wonderful in this space as a host. Keeps the questions and the banter flowing and providing a good input. Good on you Natalie 🎉

[@NoTippyTappyFootball]

Thanks Chris, glad you're enjoying the show and spot on about Natalie 👍

[@michaelwilson9245]

Absolutely 💯

[@englishman_in_arizona]

She is a very good. As is Sam.

[@Daz22-wc1jy]

I was going to comment the same. I don’t agree with giving certain women the top jobs in football who know nothing about football. But this lady clearly knows what she’s talking about. I would have no problem with her on sky. She’s that good

I don’t care for soccer but if Marc White is on something..I’m watching. Dude is a legend.

[@Cal-1000]

It’s football not soccer

[@emdiar6588]

Don't worry David. I'm English mate, and we all called it soccer at school in the 70s. It was just the English slang for Association Football, and had been for a very long time, long before the word was adopted by the States as the official name of the sport. People who tell you it's an Americanism are mistaken. There have been a few UK TV shows with Soccer in the title since the 60s, and no one ever used to say "that's an American word". That's a recent thing.

Brilliant what a legend . Real football

[@LadyB_miniatures]

I am a wrexham fan but i've had a soft spot for Dorking since i started watching football because Marc is honest as they come, and has no fucks to give mentality which is what i like as well as how Dorking has progressed despite being a part time team... its just grown on me....

Great chance to hear from one of my all time favs Big Sam on "stuff". Where I think it falls down is the length of the pod casts. I gave up half way through cos I didn't have time to listen and probably missed some more gems. Least is best - so keep a lid on it. 1 hour - come on. 30 mins max for me.
