Looks pretty good. Both the app and website are nice. It’s my first time subscribing to any sort of news/writing outlet so I’ll be curious to see how much I value this over the next month vs some of the other media subscriptions I have such as Apple Music, Netflix etc

 

Some areas still feel a little barebones. For example the selection of European clubs you can follow is really poor - only Bayern and Dortmund for Germany, Juve for Italy, Real and Barca for Spain. I thought for such a specialist outlet there would be much more coverage of teams beyond our shores.

It'll get there.  But it's a North American based English language website.  Soccer is already a niche part of the website.  It'll be a while before there's to much demand from Atlantic subscribers for stories about Real Zaragoza.

I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

Fair points. Incidentally I've just noticed this morning that Raphael Honigstein is on board and has published a Bundesliga article so that settles my interest in Germany a little, and I do trust these things will flesh out over time.

Honigstein?  I remember him from the old Jimbo Richardson Guardian Football Weekly.

Yeah had it 2 or 3 weeks and it’s bloody brilliant, loads of interesting stories & articles each day. Found myself looking at less social media too which isn’t a bad thing. Two excellent articles today, one with Stephen Ireland and one about some loans Bournemouth have taken out against future transfer fees.

You should all cancel your memberships for them somehow allowing this through.

 

Ironic they mention "lazy punditry"; this is shocking journalism aimed at those for whom life revolves around the "top 4/6/whoever has the money"

So he is a former Manchester City keeper then? Is that what you’re saying? 😂

 

Is that how you would choose to headline an article with him? Or would you mention the club he's most known for playing for and with whom he won the league?
