Not sure I could give you an order for Greg and Temps, I like them both. Matt is a bit dull but he does a decent enough job of facilitating. Prutts is by a huge distance my favourite guest.
The format works best when it's Matt / expert / fan, if they don't have one of Prutts / Lewis / Fletch / Birtles then it's just fan stuff. Having an ex-pro / broadcaster balance out the fan view with professional insight is where it's really interesting IMO.
I like Girdles. I appear to be the only one (outside the pod itself). But I concur that Lewis is my favourite, even if I remain sad about unfulfilled potential.
Yes please. Feels like she's on so they can't be accused of sexism - because she offers poor insight and analysis.
It's about 26 minutes into the post-Palace one if you want to refresh your memory. Basically Ali was comparing Mangala's pass completion numbers with Gibbs-White's and saying that their heatmaps showed they were operating in similar areas, which I think shows the limitations of his quite nerdy appreciation of football.
I expect him sniping again about it in the most recent one was the point (he talks about Mangala's progressive passing and has a dig at Fletcher) where DF said he wouldn't return if AA was on the rota.
I don't think she's any worse than Greg, is she?
Mind you, save me from fan insight and analysis! I always found Asher boring.
Greg is the Forza guy? I think it's a perspective that I definitely want. The other guy (Mikey?) is the disposable one.
Quite liked Arsher Ali. Found Fletch a little pompous but I guess that's part of his job. If someone wouldn't mind finding out what the spat was about, that would be great. Can't be bothered to do it myself.
I think itcwas because Arsher was comparing pass completion between MGW and Mangala. Which, to be fair, is a bit ridiculous
I get the impression he thinks alot of himself:

Yeah. No-one is listening to his podcast.
Having not listened to the podcast ever, and having no idea who Arsher is, I can say with complete certainty that it isn’t anything to do pass completions. They just don’t like each other, personally, and one or both of them can’t get over that and work together.
Maybe there is some inciting event that means they don’t like each other. Maybe not. Some people just don’t like each other.
This is often true. Especially when both people are some sort of pompous prick. As seems to be the case in this example. Not that I'm an expert. I tend to get ten minutes in at most before the soporific effects work their magic.
Just listened to Garibaldi Red, as they are all leaving to start a new pod and I'm not on social media what's the new podcast called?
Forest Focus.
All linked to Davies leaving Reach it seems.
