Finding the laughs in the game that Early years of soccer AM had. A real easy enjoyable watch

Lighthearted and funny football show. Nice start. Three excellent presenters, especially Crouch. Not too laddy like soccer am, more broadly appealing, including to women. Am sure will improve as presenters settle in

Less silly (esp John Bishop who is trying far too hard) and bit more about footy would be good!

Worth a watch. It's good as it's different to shows like match of the day and those presenters are ace to have. 👍

I'm a big fan of Peter's lates book (How to be a Footballer), as well as his renowned podcast series. And I'm eagerly awaiting the next book, due in a few weeks (I, Robot).

Crouch is a highly knowledgable, articulate and naturally funny presenter, with a genuine Down-to-Earth take on football. In my opinion, he should take a greater lead in the show, which I feel should revolve around him more so as the main presenter.

There is a lot of potential here, but I don't think the sweet-spot has yet been been hit in this first series, which does feel to me like an early pilot.
