The Wrap was decent back in the day where they had a small core set of contributors. Since they expanded it to now doing 20 shows a week, they've had to incorporate a lot more voices and, as such, the quality has significantly waned because the original contributors rarely do a show together anymore. 

 

Anybody know what the story with Mike Nevin was? He seemed to be dropped quite unceremoniously from the Wrap...

Not sure. Iirc he hinted at a few things on social media and they did a podcast defending themselves. 
 

They also did a podcast to say they had furloughed staff themselves.

A lad in work used to think he was great and forward his articles on to about 20 of us. They were fucking shite and longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy yet never made any points. Absolutely fucking awful.

[Josef Svejk]

In fairness, he had AIDS. Or bunions.

 

Something like that.

I see he’s now over on the Anfield Index podcast. Seems a bit of a strange one that - they’re fucking terrible.

 

They used to have this Irish lad on - Dave somebody. He fancied himself as a bit of a armchair scout and had self-inflated opinions on every single player in the world.

I was on RAWK at that time and remember his articles and they are just bollocks. Pongolle will be the next Anelka banging them into side netting’s and David Raven is Carra MK2.

There was something in his book about teaching his lad how to play chess but if his lad got a T-Rex and smashed all the bits of the board, there is nothing he could do about it...?

 

I fully get I’m more patient or positive than the more average poster, but there is being positive and being delusional / nonsensical. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

I think the Anfield wrap over thinks things sometimes. "Its this idea that" some mad over convoluted theory on why they think such and such will happen. Other than that I don't mind it its like any anything thats based upon peoples opinions theres some you like and some you don't. I like Lizzie Doyle too she speaks as much sense as any of them and seems like a good egg. I wish they had some more differing opinions though like somebody who just comes out and says FSG wheres the fucking money or anything else to just make a round table more interesting. Its why I like TLW its full of lunatics. 

[Remmie]

The Anfield Wrap could be the creme de la creme or Mein Kampf mark II for all I know, I won't read the filthy mother fucker. 

 

TLW is home, the end.

To be fair, there used to be a few fanzine article like that back in the day. Sure somebody was touting Mido or somebody as nondescript as an absolute world beater years ago. 

[Lee909]

I find all these fan TV, podcasts absolutely shite, filled with people trying to out fan each other and telling you just how boss they are, the club is and how everything is brilliant or a complete disaster.

At least Paul Tomkins seems to have disappeared these days. My mate used have so right pops at him on RAWK. 

I think he was there too. He left this site years ago, may around 2010 I reckon.

He got involved with that betting company that sponsored them for a bit and they seemed to use him less from then on.

Ive known Andy Heaton for years, he's a decent lad all round. Don't know any of the others. 

Yeah, I know Andy too. As I say, I've known a few of them from when SOS started, Andy, Neil and jay Mac.

Can't quite figure out if it's intentional comedy gold or not. I only see the odd clips

That’s the one,

 

Apparently spent his days scouring through footage of everything from the Peruvian second division to an under 16’s tourney in Senegal.

What happened to him? Xerxes I mean, before I was on here I remember reading him on rawk. Verbose was a good word for him. Otherwise full of shit 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Chelsea are apparently close to signing Chilwell ftom Leicester for £50m, according to The Athletic. 

[Barrington Womble]

How many players are Chelsea signing?
