Spotify is a subscription service, you can't have everything for nothing..

Will give it a listen, although MAPP left for the ££ and is old news as far as I am concerned.

They want folk to pay to listen to "MAPP left for the ££`s" ? Like you said its old news.
Glad I never bothered. ? ?

I`m assuming @joe_citrone earns a few pence for each subscriber....... be like the Youtube subscriber beggars then?
More reason to be "out" than in.....

sadly, me too ...... stick to formats and mediums that everyone can use, easily, far too easy to presume that most people are signed up to every damn app that exists, .... technophobe luddites like myself struggle to navigate the most basic ones, without having to sign up to invasive apps that are farming user info ... shame as Idve been interested to hear what MApp had to say . Hey ho
 
I really like Joe's OUFC thoughts on Twitter, which is why I'm surprised he's not more active on this site.

User history shows he had some Summer Transfer posts last July, but went quiet since and his last 3 are all podcast related, and all starting "Sorry to the guy to plug stuff, but..."

I may give it a listen at some stage, but like others I've accepted what the Appleton situation was and moved on.

Just to clarify, I don’t earn money if you listen and you can access the podcast on various free platforms.

His explanation for leaving is not as simple as “left for the £££” either ?

I've gone off tape. Ever since I couldn't get the cassette into the tray on my new fangled music machine box thing.
 
A good listen. Good to hear MApp sound relaxed and actually drop his guard a touch to give some anecdotes.

One bit of slight criticism and I appreciate it's hard given the current situation and I'm sure in future you'll be doing them face to face.
I guess it was done over Zoom or similar as there is a lot of background noise and echo? Would there be any way to give it a deeper edit to get rid of any of that in future things you do?

He is too busy blocking people on twitter who disagree with him to have time to post on here as well.

What a tetchy response this is - firstly, dismissing the fact that Joe might have something interesting to say without looking into it and then just assuming that he might be trying to make a few quid, rather than doing something he enjoys and does well, I'd like to add.

So, you don't sign up to services for the fear of being data harvested or tracked? Just as well you don't have thousands of posts on a public forum where some of your dubious views can easily be seen.

Agreed. Somehow people are politicising a bloke just saying you might enjoy my podcast. Jesus.

Tear down the 5G masts too! Yeah!

I have about 10-15 people in total blocked on Twitter. One of them is Piers Morgan. You're one of them, not because I disagree with you, but because I think you're a bit of a dick. Have a nice day.

Old folk are allowed to be tetchy thank you, see it as a life journey. :)

After the free play link appeared I listened to all of 5 minutes of "echo-noise" and gave up, he can take that as feedback...literally.

I`m happy with my posts on here, I`m happy they are free to be viewed all on my terms.

Your opinion they are dubious is just that, your opinion if we all had the same views the Romans wouldn`t have set up forums............... ;)

I'm no spring chicken myself just a bit more broad minded and less reactionary but I'm certainly not disputing anyone's right to an alternative view, just pointing out the nonsense you were spouting as regards signing up to sites. I'm sure you must buy online, Amazon perhaps, the club site - all busy collecting data. I suppose at least your, shall we say, racially tinged views are all in the one place, making for easy viewing.
 
I'm honestly not all that bothered by what MApp has to say. He had my full support while he was here, even when I was very much in the minority during most of his first season. He brought a different style and transfer model to the club which is still seen today (despite 6 months of chaos with Pep!!)

But he moved on, and it really doesn't matter why. Football is very fickle and very few players or managers stay at clubs for more than 2 or 3 years. (KR is already joint 20th longest serving!)

MApp moved to a PL club, who had recently one the PL, on bigger money, working alongside his mate. It was a no-brainer regardless of what was happening at Oxford. However, he would have known that DE was looking to move on and that he would struggle to build on a decent first season in league 1 and back to back Wembley appearances.

I don't do podcasts and can't be bothered to start now, but I don't know what MApp could say now that would be of much interest to be honest.
