Richards, part of the rival The Rest Is Football podcast, took issue and stated: “Numbers say differently.” Carragher continued: “Wages or are we talking numbers?”

That prompted Richards to say: “We’re talking numbers. We’re talking listeners.” Before his colleague responded: “I get stopped in the street about my podcast.”

Their back-and-forth was unsurprisingly brought up on the latest episode of by host Lineker, who said in a tongue-in-cheek manner: “Before I go on, did you have a little squabble with ? He tried to pretend that they’ve got the best football podcast?”

Richards explained: “Podcast wars, basically. I was actually giving him a little bit of credit. I said ‘you’re at the top of your game as a pundit’ and he said he was on the best Premier League show, the best Champions League show and the best podcast.

"I had to pull him up about the podcast, I had to do that.” Lineker interjected: “I would hope so, Micah.” Richards continued: “When it comes to numbers, we do the numbers don’t we?"

Match of the Day presenter Lineker brutally pointed out: “Yeah, they’re languishing miles behind, and that’s okay. We like to have a bit of competition in there but you can’t be the best podcast when you stand there talking over each other all the time.” That resulted in laughter from Alan Shearer and Richards saying: “Gary’s firing shots!”

Ramping up the hilarious podcast feud, Lineker added in a condescending tone: “But they’re a show, we know that. Because you can’t have five people around a table doing podcasts, it’s just too many - doesn’t work.”
