It used to be better it's still alright. I still subscribe mainly for NFL stuff. The Everton guys are decent but they don't seem to get as much info as they used to.
Is "The Athletic" worth it?

I do like the 'how this transfer happened' type articles or 'inside the manager sacking', but I'm not going to read the likes of Carl Anka, Michael Cox, or Jack Pitt-Brooke - who are constantly pushed to the forefront, that stuff doesn't interest me one bit
Same with the stuff they get from former players too. Shearer constantly talking himself up while talking about Messi? No ta

Yeah I agree the Shearer stuff is proper dull. As is Anka. Don't mind Cox and JPB too much. I quite like the stuff you get about more obscure stuff, and other countries/leagues
haha mate I've got rid of my subscription myself to get the cheaper version!
Anka - absolutely dreadful, no idea how he has a gig
Cox - A very strange man who is always wrong. Also extremely arrogant.
JPB - tbf, not met him but he's supposedly sound.
12!!!, I paid 65, need to cancel and start again, trouble is they never let you know when subscriptions are up so just automatically renew

Garbage. Run by a bunch of millennial wank-stains. Everything that is wrong with this world wrapped up in a sports media company.
Had it on a £1 per month deal for a year. Read maybe five or six articles in that time.
I might be tempted to sign up again on the same offer, but certainly not full price.

Not sure why you’d need a subscription to read about football, when all the football experts are in the Everton forum on here.

I had it for a bit and there's some good writers on there. However, i found myself not reading it as much as I should have.
One word of warning, be braced for a battle trying to cancel the damn thing. I cancelled and twice it automatically renewed itself for two years running. And then arguing that it was even harder. From what I've read I'm not the only one who's had the same problem.

Lizards.
I have it but not for the Everton coverage (it's alright but nothing special). There is however lots of good articles if you're interested in non-PL stuff.
Word of warning though, it's absolutely rammed with awful kopite fanzine writers. When they're not fawning over everything LFC do they're writing pieces trying to link our new stadium to some slave merchant who died hundreds of years ago. It makes me feel sick a bit knowing my subscription goes to paying these losers' salaries.

worth it at the £1 a month and even that is being generous.
The amount of 'Our writer played Football Manager with Newcastle see how he got on' pieces they do is a joke and not journalism.
The odd long piece on everton are alright but even then the main bits get dished out by mates/social media so not worth buying it
