Welcome to the first-ever in-person episode of our new season! Join us as we settle into our new studio space, courtesy of Pitch Partners, and kick off a brand new series: "Utter Woke Nonsense." Inspired by the classic "Room 101," we're diving deep into the things that drive us mad about modern football. Each of us brings our biggest pet peeves to the table, and it's up to you to decide what gets banished forever. This week, we're debating: Begging for Shirts: Are those cardboard signs in the stands a harmless bit of fun for kids, or just plain embarrassing? Football by Numbers: Why is everyone suddenly a "six," an "eight," or a "false nine"? What happened to calling a midfielder a midfielder? Referees on an Ego Trip: Are constant whistles and a love for the spotlight ruining the flow of the game? The Pint Toss Epidemic: Is throwing your expensive pint in the air when your team scores a passionate celebration or just a stupid waste of beer? The Finance Obsession: Have conversations about PSR and FFP replaced actual football talk, turning every fan into an amateur accountant? It's a lively, no-holds-barred debate packed with strong opinions, questionable logic, and plenty of laughs. Let us know what you think in the comments, and don't forget to vote in our polls to have the final say on what truly is "Utter Woke Nonsense." Learn more about your ad choices.
