    Great show
    Look forward to each show they drop!
  • matgweller
    Clueless
    Two random dudes with microphones and webcams. That’s all it is. No genuine insight into the game. You’ll find better chat at a bus stop.

    Gives a fan perspective
    I admit that a consoling factor in my team’s lengthy era in the 3rd tier was finding the late, great podcast D3D4, but The Second Tier very quickly replaced my grief with enthusiasm. Justin and Ryan’s reliably provide unique content twice+ a week, with recurring appealing features/contests. I bet they are the best experts; I simply don’t need anything more than what they offer. Did Justin have to take that forfeit coach ride? What will their incentives be in the coming year?
  • Hhhhhhhhds
    The #1 Championship Podcast
    The #1 Championship Podcast in the world! Love listening to these guys in the States!
  • Erikkx2
    The best championship podcast
    Only recently started listening but I love the banter and analysis Justin and Ryan have regarding the second tier!
  • daallen5
    The best football podcast
    Ryan and Justin discussing and bantering over the best league in the world is always entertaining! Pound for pound this is, in my opinion, the best football podcast on the internet! Definitely makes my drives and workouts a little less monotonous.
  • c8m3o1
    The best
    Love listening to the boys! As an American that can’t keep up with the Championship league as well, this podcast helps! Love the show and commentary!
  • Benj_P75
    Always Entertaining
    Been listening to these lads since 2019. Top quality and entertaining pod (that only occasionally descends into handbags) about the most competitive league in English football.
  • M_oatesy
    Wonderful podcast
    Found the show about a year ago, and it’s become one of my favorites. Great balance of analysis, banter, news, and games. You won’t regret giving it a listen.
  • Russ618
    Great stuff
    Great job by these lads. Very thorough Championship analysis. Thanks from a Championship club supporter.
  • Bphilpott
    A crash course in the Championship
    As a new soccer fan from the United States, listening to this podcast has been great to help me learn about all the teams and players in the 2nd tier. Great job!
  • Jared432
    Must listen for US fans
    Only podcast I don’t miss. The boys are a huge help from a second tier supporter from across the pond. 10/10 would recommend to any football fan
  • k^^^^^^
    Clear Favorites
    Probably a good pod to listen to if you support some team from London or the Midlands but they clearly never watch either of the Welsh teams play and then turn up and trash them week in week out. Don't call it a championship pod if you don't want to cover all the clubs.
  • dziggle
    Great knowledgeable guys.
    They keep everything interesting and address all the clubs relatively evenly. Fun games and great guests.
  • Charles Martel III
    Awesome Football Show
    Hilarious and informative show. Sorta of a cross between Alan Partridge and classic Match of the Week commentary. Thanks for all you do. Great show!
  • MikeyFreedom
    Very good
    Absolute wank.
  • therendxela
    Great show

  • Matt Brad45
    Great Show
    Blackburn Fan living in the USA. Cracking podcast. It’s as good as Charlie Mulgrew’s left foot.
