I searched for a thread on football podcasts. Can't believe we don't have one so will dump it in this random bin full of football stuff :D

I just finished the Under the Cosh podcast with Lee Sharpe, really good. Well worth a listen especially for Man Utd fans.

*To clarify - Lee Sharpe was guest on the podcast, I didn't sit and listen to it with him.

I have watched every single episode of Under the Cosh up until this season after a workmate talking about it. Most are not top level footballers but you get far better stories. The Kevin Campbell one is absolute gold. If you have not watched them all OP I can point you to some of the better ones but it's worth making your way through them all :)

Been listening to it for years mate, agree the ones with lower league plodders are generally the better ones. You see a different side to it and realise for almost everyone outside of the prem it’s just a job at the end of the day. I tend to go on and off it though, I do enjoy it but there is only so much of Jon Parkin asking “ow were christmas doo’s and ow ‘ammered did yet get” I can take in one sitting. It does have some genuinely laugh out loud moments. Sharpe talking about the palace game and Cantona was absolutely class.
 
Latest Under the Cosh is a Jason Mcateer two parter. Its very good with some great stories. What a career he has had. Didn't turn pro until 20. Played for his boyhood club and at two world cups and even turned Bono down!
 
Hard to put into words how much I disliked this lot back in the 90's, harder to explain why I did looking back on it but the Gary Neville / Overlap / Stick to Football show just gets better and better. This one is great.

Stephen Warnock on Under the Cosh. Good listen. Talks a lot about contracts and switching clubs, managers coming in and binning him immediately. I'm not pretending to feel sorry for them but it shows that as much as being a footballer at that level would be an amazing career and life, there is so much uncertainty around it all. UTC do a real good job of bringing the life of a footballer into focus as first and foremost just being a job. I don't think most fans appreciate that as much as they probably should. Stuff like he was told he had to leave Blackburn as they had a 9m bid in for him with two games of the season left. The sale of the club and its future depended on it, him earning a living depended on it. He made himself unavailable for the last game to avoid any injury, fans turned on him. There must be loads of these sort of deals get done all the time that we just never see. Players have to look after themselves financially first. I know at the top level they have millions each year coming into their bank accounts but they no doubt have millions leaving too.
Makes me laugh when fans say so and so should just leave, or this manager should just resign.
