    Marriage day advice
    What a show. 5 stars. Amazing bit when Dunny almost mispronounced his own name when kind of speaking in the 3rd person about the arts of Dunsethary was definitely a highlight. Tim, when the actual wedding day arrives you gotta stop worrying about the small details that nobody is going to even notice anyway, let it all go and enjoy the day. There’s no sense stressing when it arrives, you’ve already done enough of that. Don’t take yourselves too seriously and if you dance (the couple) everyone else will too. Congrats and good luck.

    Top Shelf Punditry
    One-stop shop got great takes, breakdowns, and a catchup on the beautiful game. Tom ****ing Rennie (sorry, Tim) is world class. Dunny offers down-to-earth takes while he’s perpetually wearing his all pink suit. You’re an absolute loser if you don’t like this show.

    Top tier banter
    The internet’s best source for June 2023 Prague history. I think they also cover soccer. Sorry, Tim.

    One of my favorite podcasts
    Two of my favorite SiriusXM FC announcers, Tom Rennie and Brian Dunseth, host an insightful and hilarious podcast and discuss topics from the Premier League, MLS and soccer in general. The show is a 🤬 hoot (sorry, Tim). It is a weekly must listen for me.

    Shut up about politics!
    Fist off, I’ve listened to you guys for years, like 8+ years, love your commentary on soccer/football, the worlds greatest game! Your dynamic together is amazing, I regularly laugh out loud. Enjoy the show…dating back to original Grumpy Pundits content, etc. But Renny, shut up about the politics stuff…tired of hearing about “fascist social media” I.e. X, site, or President Trump, whatever. Drop it. We listen in to hear footie commentary, not your opinion on politics…if we wanted that there are plenty of left-leaning mainstream media outlets for us to access…cough cough CNN, BBC, MSNBC. Enough!!
  • Mindful-Warrior
    Why do they call you Dunny mate
    Great show. I just cannot get enough of you guy's brilliant deep dive analysis into the dumpster fire of flaming hubris that is “I tend to win things second year” Ange Postecoglou. The EPL is a better place with “Week in the Tackle” and Ange in it. I was not paid a thing not even a compliment for this shout and as always Sorry Tim
  • Soccerlexi84
    Simply the best!
    The best mix of football chat, banter, and personal antidotes, I look forward to this podcast every week. Whether I am sitting on a beach or at the airport, going for a walk or a run, Week in the Tackle is always the first podcast I listen to. I finally wrote the review because I need to hear the What’s App conversation from this weekend’s West Ham/ManU match. And I want to hear every dirty word of it! Tim, just mark the episode “Explicit” 😉.
  • Along w/ everyone else
    Look them both up on Elons website
    A simply amazing show hosted by a conflicted xenophobic liberal that hates his children and a soon to be broadcasting legend who happens to be falling apart from hip to teeth (also used to play some soccer in Greenland or somewhere).
  • shigidyshank
    Sorry Tim
    What more could a Columbus Crew fan ask for than a podcast featuring crew legend DUNNY and crew super fan Tom RENNIE. Seriously if you like the Footy, you need to listen to this podcast!
  • Utch33
    After all of these years
    Finally after all of these years of scouring the soccerwebs I’ve found the 2 doinks (Rennie+Horsey) responsible for me getting all of these soccer related emails. I’m now a fan. -chunkylover69@hotmail

    Hundred percent
    If you like the phrase “at the end of the day” this is the podcast for you.
  • earnest mark
    2 class acts
    You get Dunny’s wealth of knowledge from decades in the US game and broadcasting plus Rennie’s bizarre sense of humor and parochial English perspective.
  • JoeBerger1376
    Smart show, great chemistry
    As an American who was once mostly obsessed with catch and bouncy and never watched a minute of soccer until five years ago, I never would have thought my favorite media person in the world would be a cynical bald man from East London who won’t stop talking about West Ham. But, alas, here we are. The boys are wildly entertaining. Never miss an episode.
  • J-man in Boston
    One of my favorite podcasts
    Never miss an episode of WITT! Dunny and Rennie have a great rapport and the show strikes an excellent balance between analysis and gently sardonic humor. I always look forward to listening, and I’m grateful to have such a fun and clever football/soccer podcast. Keep up the great work, both of you!
  • Wwgirl63
    Not to be missed
    Tom Rennie was a favorite of mine on Grumpy Pundits and I enjoyed him even more during his interactions with Brian Dunseth. Now that they’re on separate shows this is my way to get my Rennie/Dunny fix. If you like honest, if a bit cranky, view on world football don’t miss this podcast.

    The Bar
    When we talk about setting the bar for accurate, intelligent, exchange, this is it. Quite frankly, needs to be the bar for everything. Not sorry Tim.
  • kurtosisman
    My favourite entertainment pod
    Great interaction between the hosts. Best of grumpy pundits without the erection adverts What more can you ask
  • KyleSourbeer
    Must listen every week!
    Long time listener... Tom and Dunny are great together. Honest insights even against their own clubs. Always speaking truths and telling it how it is. enjoy the show guys keep it going!
  • TCraig14
    Worst 5 Star Podcast
    I hate that I look forward to this every week. I hate that after I listen to it I want to listen to more of Dunny and Tom. I hate that they entertain me on my drives. All the best, I love you.
  • GreenBayHooligan
    Just grand!
    Awesome football/soccer show and analysis from Tom and Danny. Honest opinions on/from all leagues, coaches, and players. They also provide great life advice, proper food critique, and generous fashion tips. If anything, this is the anti-Spurs show we all need. Great job, boys!
  • JmVann
    The Best
    I love this podcast. I get to laugh while listening to entertaining and insightful banter about football - it’s the f$*%in best! (Sorry Tim)
  • l'il scotty watson
    The best football/soccer podcast available.
    Two hosts. One is a grumpy pundit from England with almost no filter and a decent amount bile. Leavened with a goddamned hilarious, biting, thoughtful delivery. Co-host is ex-player and colour announcer in MLS/national team broadcasts who is laid back and engages in playful banter. Best banter you’ll hear, and at the end, you’ll change to another podcast without realizing you just learned a helluva lot.

    Bald Vegan & Washed Up Soccer Star
    A English bald vegan with hipster glasses (shocker) and washed up US soccer star (whose always on vacation) say “sorry Tim” for an hour and mix in some soccer chat in between. Do you like Real Salt Lake? West Ham? Columbus Crew?…. No? Well fair cause no one does however you will find yourself rooting for bottom of the league teams after just one episode. My favorite segment is “Tim Talks Balls”, not in every episode but should be. The guy can talk balls unlike any other. If I haven’t sold you yet, they actually do have great soccer knowledge and are incredibly entertaining. Like, subscribe, and venmo Rennie so he afford his ****ty English vegan food. The USMNT will win the 2026 World Cup if you do so.
  • Dtonyiv
    Funny and Informative
    Rennie, Dunny, and Horsey all make their living through football, but they each have a unique perspective on the beautiful game. The result is a funny and informative podcast that I look forward to week after week. Well done, gents!
  • greybirdk022
    Funny and worth it
    Love Tom Rennie’s way of blowing off his job while doing it well. Care but not too much. The duo are a treat in contrasts and candid about their views of the football world. Go for it.
  • construct rhodes
    Great show
    I love this show so much. I was sad when Dunny left counter attack, but so happy I can hear him and Tom here and on grumpy pundits. Tom is my favorite
  • MichaelFromOhio
    I love this show
    It makes my week, Tom and Danny chemistry is off the charts. Please keep it going. I look forward to it every week.
  • LJJ 11
    Rennie & Dunny swear that wasn’t a handball
    These two are a perfect oddball match that generally works. They both love football but with completely different backgrounds and perspectives which is why the conversations are typically nuanced and funny - as long as Robin Koch doesn’t come up (it triggers the 11 year old Spicoli within Rennie). I look forward to the Hammers winning the coooonference league by another handball cheating event - it will drive him off the ledge. Can’t wait for the next episode.

    It’s like mindfulness meditation
    I’m a college student from PA in the U.S and a big Manchester United fan. I found Sirius XM FC when I started using Sirius in my car earlier this year, and I haven’t turned back. When Rennie says in one of those intros on the station “This is what your subscription pays for” He’s very right! I renew my subscription mainly for this station. On my daily commute I’ll turn it on the Football Show and it’s a good show I like the guys. But 9:00-12:00 is my favorite time of day for Grumpy Pundits! Fridays are also my favorite for Rennie and Dunny take America because of this podcast and just the two guys in general. I’m often fascinated by their analysis and opinions on football but really on life. I learn a lot about the U.K from Rennie too which is good since I want to travel their one day and see a premier league match as well. This podcast is great and I look forward to listening to you guys every week. You really do have an influence on people because although I have played and loved the sport all my life, I’ve been loving it even more lately! F%#$ing incredible, sorry Tim!
  • nnewmark
    Can’t Listen To Anything Else
    As a new fan in the US of the best football club in the world, West Ham United, I love this podcast. You’ve made me fall in love with the f’n game! Sorry Tim!
  • Londjh
    sorry Tim
    awesome blend of humor and insight
  • Pete H - Chicago
    End of season.
    Smashing season of shows! Looking forward to your return. Peter (Chicago)
  • Frank da Pole
    How many 5 star reviews do I have to *bleeping* leave before I get mine read? Sorry Tim!
    Rennie’s raucous ramblings, rapier wit, silky smooth segways and all-world knowledge of English football make this podcast a complete joy and a must listen. Oh yes, Mr. Dunseth is there too! (Put that check in the mail)
  • WayneO33
    Theme song
    Absolutely LuV Rennie & Dunnie…..and Timmy too!!! Fabulous podcast! Hey what 70’s porn movie is your theme tune from?
  • Jason from Dillon Beach
    Intriguing!
    Once again, this weeks podcast can only be described as ‘intriguing’. A nice distraction from our impending doom.
  • Smfref8
    Always a great podcast
    Tom and Brian are always on top of their game. They have never had a bad episode and they tell it like it is.
  • Cessna 206T
    Awesome
    perfect mix of football and misc. I laugh out loud several times an episode… I learn loads about the beautiful game, and this 50 y.o. dentist from rural AZ is sustained through one more crying kid when I think about Tom saying “it’s like the actors of Rivervale were cast in a Hercule Poirot picture” and Dunney has never heard of Agatha Christie, so he tries to show he has culture by asking if Tom has ever heard of “Poncharella from Chips.” I think they complete each other. 😜
  • RennieLakepundit
    Perhaps the best of all time……
    Episode 40 on January 25, simply hillarious. I’ve listened to all epeisodes and this ranks up with the funniest yet. Shots of bourbon☑️. Vodka soda ☑️ shouting lord Tom moaning about Sargent scoring a scorpion✔️ while many couldn’t give a tiddly dump about the humor found with the soccer world, these two make Mondays better for all! Hey Tom Rennie, come on over to the USA for some real s’mores - I’ve got the perfect spot for indoor camping, here on Rennie Lake in Michigan!!!
  • LoninRDU
    Brilliant
    Two of the realist soccer pundits you’ll ever come across, even when discussing their own teams. This is a brilliant show, I’ve enjoyed every episode i want more. These two together are laugh out loud funny but equally as great with the serious side of the game. A must listen for Soccer fans
  • Ryan Malcore
    Week In The Podcast Hard Hitting Review
    Tom Rennie looks like a jar of honey and he has an incredibly handsome voice…wait TWF
  • Ladykimberlyp
    Great football show!
    Tom Rennie is incredibly handsome and his voice is like honey
  • UpTheChels1970
    The BEST!!!
    Tom Rennie definitely didn’t tell me to write that he is incredibly handsome and has a voice like honey
  • Tony_Burden
    Great banter and discussion (is there football in there?)
    I absolutely love this podcast. I quickly turn this podcast on Mondays after the Football show on Sirius XM Ch 157 and I love Tom and Dunny. I have been calling for the Tom and Dunny show for about 3 months now. Come on SIRIUS XM!! The amount of crap discussed not his show is 48-50 mins of pure entertainment! More of this!!!
  • Paysoninho
    Great bloke/dude combo
    So many soccer pods are either too UK-centric or America-bro-tastic. Week in the Tackle is perfect though because it brings two well-informed, funny people from the UK and US together to talk soccer like two pals would at the bar/pub.
  • Nagledinho
    Funny and insightful
    A great combination of football news, humor, and good banter from two lads on either side of the Atlantic.
  • Claytonious03
    Top notch!!!!
    I’m really not a big podcast guy. They tend to make me feel sad for the hosts. But this is definitely worth a listen and a follow. Brisk pace, funny, insightful. Brought to you by Tom Rennie and Brian Dunseth: the hardest working men in soccer show business. Producer Tim Horsey is there too.
  • T-Jed
    Great Podcast
    Really enjoy Rennie and Dunseth together. Highly recommend if you enjoy talk about world football coverage mixed in with some good humor and the occasional opinion about everything in the world.
  • imbucki
    Brilliant combination of football and comedy
    A must-listen every week.
  • S.B. usa
    Great listen for Soccer fans
    A fun, at times irreverent, juxtaposition between American and British commentaries on the Beautiful Game.
  • speakgodsmack
    Well done show!
    Dunseth is great. Not sure about the other one
