The Vinny one is very good.

My favourite one is Nedum's recent one with Gael Clichy. Interesting guy and a fantastic career now culminating with his title in Turkey. Liked what he said about Pep as well - turning his football brain upside down and made him think about football in such a different way to the extent he will move into coaching when he finishes :)
 
I really struggle to see why this pod hasnt caught the City fans base imagination. Its giving us a fantastic look at what went on in the dressing rooms of 07 to today. His manner is brilliantly relaxed and gets the best out of all his guests

The Vinny one is Brill as are the Clichy and Lescott ones. All of them in fact

I wasn't aware of it until someone posted the Micah one a while back.

It's got to be said that Nedum's a brilliant host as well. I doubt punditry will be for him (and that's a compliment) but I'd love to see him get more media work in the future.

And a big shout out to him for giving Vinny Carla's number. Because of that, maybe he's had more influence on our success than many realise.
 
Fascinating chat with Vinny, what a man and player. When you consider the amount of injuries he had and what he achieved it makes you wonder how good he would have been without them. Then again if he hadn't he would probably never have ended up with us. The man is a born leader and surely he has to end up back here in some capacity. Forget what he does at Anderlecht, as he said himself you need the players. You can see why we wobbled last season without him, his calm determined leadership and presence, how do you replace that?

create a clone of him
 
Great podcast, that.

The one thing I do recognise is that Vinny confirms he never wanted to play DM for us and it was the one thing I saw as well. I thought he was awful and a liability in that position over CB and he says as much, really.

Thanks for for posting this session!

It's a shame it can't be pinned as a help to get his work more readily tuned into.
 
Listened to a few of them, and I think the main strength is that they are talking to each other as equals. Think there is a fear that interviews/chats with journalists are trying to get a story, and sometimes fans are a bit in awe of the players
 
Didn't know he had a podcast until i heard his interview on 93:20. That's pretty good - been meaning to sub his podcast so thanks for the reminder

only just heard about it but subscribed & enjoying it now.

I loved Vinny telling Nedum he was a disgrace in the QOR game.
 
A really good, insightful podcast this.
Didn’t realise how much Vinny had been through prior to him moving to us :(
 
Nedum was on my uni course about 15 years ago, but dropped out. I think he’s bright, especially compared to some other footballers. It’s a bit of a myth he’s highly educated, from an academic viewpoint anyway.

I’d much rather watch/listen to Micah in the media.

He got great A level results and probably dropped out of his Uni course due to football commitments Certainly Micah is entertaining but when I’ve heard Nedum he comes across as more insightful than Micah

Strange post.

Are you suggesting his intellect stopped growing because he left your uni course? Football? Ill mother? Juggling too much?

Unless, of course, you live with him and have witnessed what level he is at, intellectually, on a daily basis...?
