Hi Smiv, love the channel. I appreciate with how much you have on your plate with the baby on the way/ house move etc that the new format works better for you. I personally think that you could maybe get Troi or someone else to film the other game and commentate it then you would only have to edit it and commentate the other game. I’m not being negative just trying to help the channel! Hope you see this, cheers and keep up the content
Don’t understand everyone’s problems, this new format is class feels like a jeff stelling soccer Saturday modern way of presenting. Having no music so we can hear franks comments is genius. Great work smiv
I personally liked the new format, because just like smiv I don't always have the time to watch 2 Palmers games and the vlog every week, so it really works for me. P. S keep it up smiv
You should be really proud of this format Smiv, kept it fresh and engaging whilst retaining the flavour that made the channel work to begin with. Terrific effort chief.
Don't like this new format. Miss the music and no intro for the B-team and you didn't talk about Charlie being on the A-team. If you're going to do this Smiv, do the best you can. This seems like a half-hearted effort given the high quality that we saw last season.
Watched every Palmers video and I’m sorry Smiv but this isn’t for me. -No Reserves line up. We didn’t have a clue who was even there -No chat / banter with Reserves players which is every bit as important as the game itself to me -Chopping between games means you lose the momentum of how each game is going Feels like a backward step. I really didn’t want to be negative but I’m sure you want honest feedback Come on you Palmers! 🔶⚫️🔶
Sunday league is back! Finally something to do on a monday! In terms of best way to do things just do what’s best for you smiv were all fans and will still watch and enjoy your content. We know how hectic and exciting things are for you now away from football n we appreciate all your work! All the best mate
Just glad to see Sunday league football back, whatever the format. Don’t think everyone realises the time, money and effort that goes into having both games up separately. Keep it up, Smiv!
So crazy that I went from regularly watching Don't Flop to watching Palmers religiously, seeing Ryan aka Bloodstro on the Palmers camera and having him now plugging a new battle league... FULL CIRCLE.
I prefer the old format, however I like how you did this Smiv. Fair enough if you’ve got the house and a baby coming along, I don’t think people understand how time consuming editing is. Especially when you produce 15 min vids of high quality every week. Good luck with whatever you choose! I’m happy
Considering the videos first began as 3-5 minute videos, having 20+ minute content is brilliant! Amazing journey you’ve had with this channel smiv and branching out to your vlogs which are double decent too!!
I like that you can hear the side line and the players a lot more. Love the new format. Refreshing to see after watching Palmers for a few years now. 👍🏼
Guys Do what you feel, we are here for SUNDAY>>>> FOOTBALL.... Thx for working your butt off to provide us with this great content. week in week out. Love it.
I have just torn my ACL, tears the two ligaments either side in my knee, torn the cartilage and fractured my tibia. I have just binged watched the whole of your videos for last year in about 2 days! I need my Sunday league footy fix and this will be a part of that. Thank you. I Like the new format, it has definite mileage for being more efficient and quality packed. Could 2 people voice over the 2 different games? Would give a nice distinction between the two, and give a good switch over, rather than all falling to Smiv. A Soccer Saturday esque format.. banter between the two people would make it even more personable! Think its great what you are doing! Matt
To be honest, I followed every game when it was just one team. When it went to two, it got a bit much and I found myself missing matches because to keep up with everything, you had to watch all videos. This format is better as it condenses excellent content in to one place. I'd rather one quality video with all the add ons and edits than two rushed videos. Quality not quantity as they say. Great work as always smiv
I like this new new format. I’m not saying that because I’m a fan, but I genuinely do. It may not be as insightful into what’s happening at palmers, but there is still football being given to us every Monday. I like how you switch between the two games and how one is more focused than the other. This clearly the easier option and it is far from an easy way out, it’s a creative new way and it spices things up. You did it a couple years back with the extras but you found that difficult to continue. I truly believe this is the way forward for you smiv as it gives you plenty of time to take care of what’s happening at this point in your life. I won’t care what happens to the vids in the long run because I just love watching football, and you are miles in front of anyone in terms of combining football and entertainment. 🧡🖤
50/50 on the new format, glad Sunday league extra has been dropped, but would like to see both games in full.. glad too see the comedy in editing and commentary back! But circumstances understood, do what you can👍🏻
I liked having the content spread out over multiple days, but this works, too. I would like if there was more of a 50/50 split on footage from both games, rather than the main one and the other. I’m just glad Palmers is back!
Best of luck for the new season for both sides. Like the lack of music and new transitions but I think two lots of highlights would be much better. Obviously if that’s the best way you can do it then that’s fair Smiv, I’ll still watch
I quite like the new format. Although I did like having two full highlight games to watch, especially when it gets to the business end of the season and both teams have big important games. I did also like the little whatsapp notifications for the reserves game though, good little touch! Keep up the good work big man!
Like new format 👍 Could do with... - Knowing the squads for the season - Both lineups would be good - Let us know who each team is playing before KO - Any chance of adding whos scored periodically throughout the highlights - always forget - MOM at the end - Like the goal / incident notifications - Not bothered about music - Transitions are good might be worth trying to colour scheme them for each game or trying signal which game we are switching to
I love how Matt is so passive aggressive to everyone except Tommy and Elliot😂 I must admit I prefer the music in the background and separate vids for the games, but good vid all the same
Gonna go out on a limb here but I actually really like the new format, certainly the editing style with the sound of the lads in the back with a bit of music as an undercurrent, maybe two videos would be better than one as it'd be better to have all the focus on one team but it's only pre-season so plenty of time to adapt. P.s Love the return of the extra at the start.
I think for this format to work maybe do one game after the other? Keeps the flow and continuity of each game going very nicely! Glad to see Sunday League Football back and look forward to a new season!
Really loving the videos still smiv, would rather one match then the other instead of a mix, even if it all rolls into one video, no music is good too!! Hope everything goes well with the house & baby!
I sort of like the new format. Entertaining, and the cuts aren't that frequent. It's not much different than switching between two channels to keep an eye on two matches at the same time. If this makes it easier for you to manage the videos along with your home life, then I fully support you continuing this format. It may be different, but imo it's a good different. I'm sure you will be doing this, but I would suggest alternating which team is the focus of the video each week. (ie. one week focus on the A team, and the next focus on the B team). By "focus on" I mean which team you will be doing the extra portion at. Keep up the good work Smiv! Excited to see how my second favourite team(s) do this season!
Love having two games in one video BUT would have preferred to see all of one game and then all of the second game rather than jumping between both. Just one mans opinion. Keep up the cracking work Smiv!
Seeing alot of comments saying they don't like it, Personally I liked it and I can see it working ofcourse a few things need tweeked it's only the first video so it will only get better. If this helps you free up time to do more on the roads and other kind of content then I'm happy with that. I'll be signing up for the Patreon aswell
So hyped to have FOOTBALLLLL back! Loving some of the new graphics but prefer the older format. If you can’t do that though I’m happy to watch it this way!
Don't mind the new format Smiv! Couple of points I'd like. A 'reserves' and 'a team' banner at the top of every section just so it's easy to tell which is which. Also more of a slight emphasis on the other game e.g. line ups and a bit of pre match from the other, if possible? Will always watch whatever you choose!
Everyone moaning that they don’t like the new format. In all fairness, I’m not the biggest fan of the setup but Matt is going through a more busy time in life so it is not viable for him to make two videos. Matt keep the setup if it is what needs to happen but if you feel like changing it back, we will support you 100%.
I wasn’t sure if the new set up at first but it’s different. Would like an introduction of players from both games but understand there’s one main game. Keep the music! Like the little text animations nice touch 👌🏻
I don't mind the switching around so much, and I like the game noise and sideline chats without the music (but with the Tommy music, loved that). As for the offside thing with Old Strets, I think the bog-standard rule for amateur football tends to not have linesman flag offside if they aren't licensed referees, but your league/local FA may have that different. First one looked a little close, even from behind, and the second one Asa (right? I forget already) seemed to be behind the ball when it was played across so the last man wouldn't have affected the call. Grass looks dry as hell, too. Hope you got some rain and respite from the heat for a greener pitch next week. I also love when you include Andrew's notes when he has something for you to check out later; it's like he's talking to you from the past, trippy. Back to my opinions on the edit: it still keeps your style intact and feels like a Palmers video, but I did love having so many videos a week, of course. But with a baby and another channel, that's a lot of work for you, so stick with what you can do. I'll always watch Palmers and On The Road (I'm lukewarm on vlogging on the whole but I check them out sometimes).
If ur like me and been watching for a few years now I think this new format works really well it’s abit less for for smug so he can concentrate on his life and new family and the new format it’s fresh it’s something new just go with it I say can alway change it next season
The commentary is brill, however, as a 15 year player in the Reading and District Sunday League, the quality of the actual players is abysmal. However, it's Sunday football and it's great to watch, Palmer's are my new must watch. Keep it up.
Instead of switching between both games do the highlights of each game have the 1st team highlights at the beginning then the second team highlights at the end. Also add the bring the the music back
Dunno why everyone’s complaining, it’s really not that hard to keep up with both games in this format, I like it smiv! Maybe a compromise would be to have 2 games in 1 video but just one after another? Not changing every few mins. Just a thought anyway as I like this format! It’s snappy and with smiv’s witty jokes coming in thick and fast what’s not to like? Keep it up smiv mate good luck to the boys this season!!!
Like the new format, maybe add some music like last season but when there’s a big highlight such as goal cut the music so we can the reactions from the players and crowd. Overall a good change I’m sure we will still all watch the videos!
Not a fan of this new set up Matt but if it’s the only way you can do it we will still watch and understand. Love ya smivadeeeeee
TheRandomGuy 23 you’ll get used to it mate
yeah, pretty much. It doesn't really do both games justice. However, the reasoning behind it are understandable and I would obviously still watch.
has he explained why he has to do it like that?
He doesn't have the time right now to produce two seperate vids due to moving into a new house and having a kid on the way.
So this yr the "reserves" are the reserves and not just another Palmers team
Been waiting for the return 💥💥💥
how did this only get liked 17 times?
U gettin smashes SE DONS 0-13
Please go back to the format of last season please smiv, love that football is back though
Getting motion sickness with all this chopping and changing between games
Sorry smiv but not feeling the new format tbh. Did like the start with the pre match chat tho
loving the music with Tommy
Hi Smiv, love the channel. I appreciate with how much you have on your plate with the baby on the way/ house move etc that the new format works better for you. I personally think that you could maybe get Troi or someone else to film the other game and commentate it then you would only have to edit it and commentate the other game. I’m not being negative just trying to help the channel! Hope you see this, cheers and keep up the content
Thanks for the plug lads!
Don’t understand everyone’s problems, this new format is class feels like a jeff stelling soccer Saturday modern way of presenting. Having no music so we can hear franks comments is genius. Great work smiv

Jim Beam it’s still decent quality, he’s just moved into a new house and they have a baby on the way
@Jagman --- His blog is about him mostly and each one is 30 minutes long. Is it now a prerequisite to see his blog before you can comment here?
Nothing wrong with it.....Just beacuse it's different doesn't make It worse.......Tit
2 games in 1 video is a good idea but as a suggestion I think it would be better to do one game then the other rather than alternating between the two
Jim Beam if u dont like it then just dont watch, not exactly a lot he can do at the moment
Watched every Palmers video and I’m sorry Smiv but this isn’t for me.
-No Reserves line up. We didn’t have a clue who was even there
-No chat / banter with Reserves players which is every bit as important as the game itself to me
-Chopping between games means you lose the momentum of how each game is going
Feels like a backward step. I really didn’t want to be negative but I’m sure you want honest feedback
Come on you Palmers! 🔶⚫️🔶
Tommy’s music is brilliant and the new format jumping from each game is great...
Like the new format. Would like to see both line ups at the start
Don’t know how I stumbled on Palmers but love watching the team and Smiv’s commentary. Big fan from the other side of the globe in NZ
Sunday league is back! Finally something to do on a monday! In terms of best way to do things just do what’s best for you smiv were all fans and will still watch and enjoy your content. We know how hectic and exciting things are for you now away from football n we appreciate all your work! All the best mate
Prefer 2 videos
Just glad to see Sunday league football back, whatever the format. Don’t think everyone realises the time, money and effort that goes into having both games up separately. Keep it up, Smiv!

"2 min, 3 min max Andrew, Don't over exaggerate" Dead laughing. 18:42
I like the new format as long as you varying priorities of team from game to game. Lineups for both teams would be appreciated as well.
Wasen if he could make a bit more of the behind the scenes as well I think that would be better
Absolutley love the new format Smiv, works fantastically and the phone notifications add an extra touch
50/50 on the new format, glad Sunday league extra has been dropped, but would like to see both games in full.. glad too see the comedy in editing and commentary back! But circumstances understood, do what you can👍🏻
What a fantastic way of editing it, with the phone notifications being such a unique and entertaining idea! Great work Smivvy
Im a massive fan of this new format, its much more intriguing to watch and a lot more exciting
love how it's just the noise of football smiv liking the new format
I liked having the content spread out over multiple days, but this works, too. I would like if there was more of a 50/50 split on footage from both games, rather than the main one and the other. I’m just glad Palmers is back!
13:46 is a beautiful piece of commentary
Old format so much better Matt!
Love Palmers, both sides!
Both deserve individual games mate
football's back. liking the new format mat. Tommy's music is a must.
Excellent structure of the highlights worked very well and seems like you've got a lot more passion for it
Absolutely love this new format, keep it up smiv 👌
Liking the new format Smiv.. The goal/chance transitions adds a new dynamic to the reserve games.. Keep up the good work man 👍
I like this format just keep it like this, always something entertaining going on if it’s first team or reserves
Not a fan of the new format old is superior imo
New format is amazing, the notifications to switch the games is class!
Best of luck for the new season for both sides. Like the lack of music and new transitions but I think two lots of highlights would be much better. Obviously if that’s the best way you can do it then that’s fair Smiv, I’ll still watch
I quite like the new format. Although I did like having two full highlight games to watch, especially when it gets to the business end of the season and both teams have big important games. I did also like the little whatsapp notifications for the reserves game though, good little touch! Keep up the good work big man!
I prefer the old style but I do like this style and I enjoy watching it
Enjoyed the whatsapp notifications and the second half music - tommy music and German commentary is class hahahaha
New format is sick Matt deffo keep it!! Much better having both games in one vid✌✌
Love the new format! Match of the day version is wicked! Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Love the new setup keeps it busy and you don’t get bored
Liking the new layout smiv - adds a new super Sunday feel to the games! Love the vids
love the new format cause it helps you personally and still fells natural
Welcome back Palmers FC!!! Hopefully trophies to come in May! (YNWA)
Quite like this new format. Didn't at first but it grew on me as the video progressed
Like new format 👍
Could do with...
- Knowing the squads for the season
- Both lineups would be good
- Let us know who each team is playing before KO
- Any chance of adding whos scored periodically throughout the highlights - always forget
- MOM at the end
- Like the goal / incident notifications
- Not bothered about music
- Transitions are good might be worth trying to colour scheme them for each game or trying signal which game we are switching to
Looks like I’m the only one who loves the new format.
Highlights of both games all in one, don’t have to wait days to see it.
I love how Matt is so passive aggressive to everyone except Tommy and Elliot😂 I must admit I prefer the music in the background and separate vids for the games, but good vid all the same
I like the raw "no-music" style, Smiv! But really.. Any Palmers vid is a great vid!
Fully support what ever u doing Matt ❤️
Yessssss. Fooootbaaaaallllll. Ngl best part of these vids is i watch them in the bath
Keep the old format all your subscribers are still gonna be here waiting for the video no rush man
Reminds me of last day of the season on sky sports switching between games. Ps I’ll watch whatever the set up is
New format is great mate and congrats on the house and pregnancy!
Really like the new format, you've made it work really well!
Gonna go out on a limb here but I actually really like the new format, certainly the editing style with the sound of the lads in the back with a bit of music as an undercurrent, maybe two videos would be better than one as it'd be better to have all the focus on one team but it's only pre-season so plenty of time to adapt.

Love the new format. Obviously a lot more effort has gone into it. Keep it up 👍🏻
I think for this format to work maybe do one game after the other? Keeps the flow and continuity of each game going very nicely! Glad to see Sunday League Football back and look forward to a new season!
I like the new setup kind of like a tv show format, pretty good
Really loving the videos still smiv, would rather one match then the other instead of a mix, even if it all rolls into one video, no music is good too!! Hope everything goes well with the house & baby!
LOVE the nat sound. Although one supposes that will only remain possible while the weather's clement...
I don’t mind what game format you do I just enjoy the content👍🏼
Quality format, glad to see the boys back.. Elliot needs some smooth jazz back ground music
I know this comment is late. But I'm bloody buzzing about Sunday league Matt
I sort of like the new format. Entertaining, and the cuts aren't that frequent. It's not much different than switching between two channels to keep an eye on two matches at the same time. If this makes it easier for you to manage the videos along with your home life, then I fully support you continuing this format. It may be different, but imo it's a good different.
I'm sure you will be doing this, but I would suggest alternating which team is the focus of the video each week. (ie. one week focus on the A team, and the next focus on the B team). By "focus on" I mean which team you will be doing the extra portion at.
Keep up the good work Smiv! Excited to see how my second favourite team(s) do this season!
The production and editing is top quality 👊Well done Smiv boy 😁
Love having two games in one video BUT would have preferred to see all of one game and then all of the second game rather than jumping between both. Just one mans opinion. Keep up the cracking work Smiv!
To be honest smiv, in your current situation, I’m just happy you’re uploading. I’m not too bothered by the new format.
Love the new setup and loving tommy rocking the number 4 suits him to a t
Love the format smivvy boy love transitions with the phone
Seeing alot of comments saying they don't like it, Personally I liked it and I can see it working ofcourse a few things need tweeked it's only the first video so it will only get better. If this helps you free up time to do more on the roads and other kind of content then I'm happy with that. I'll be signing up for the Patreon aswell
So hyped to have FOOTBALLLLL back! Loving some of the new graphics but prefer the older format. If you can’t do that though I’m happy to watch it this way!
To be honest I don’t even mind the new format.
Don't mind the new format Smiv! Couple of points I'd like. A 'reserves' and 'a team' banner at the top of every section just so it's easy to tell which is which. Also more of a slight emphasis on the other game e.g. line ups and a bit of pre match from the other, if possible? Will always watch whatever you choose!
Undecided on the format seems like a great idea have to wait and see, can never please everyone but feel like it could potentially work
Everyone moaning that they don’t like the new format. In all fairness, I’m not the biggest fan of the setup but Matt is going through a more busy time in life so it is not viable for him to make two videos. Matt keep the setup if it is what needs to happen but if you feel like changing it back, we will support you 100%.
I wasn’t sure if the new set up at first but it’s different. Would like an introduction of players from both games but understand there’s one main game. Keep the music! Like the little text animations nice touch 👌🏻
I don't mind the switching around so much, and I like the game noise and sideline chats without the music (but with the Tommy music, loved that).
As for the offside thing with Old Strets, I think the bog-standard rule for amateur football tends to not have linesman flag offside if they aren't licensed referees, but your league/local FA may have that different. First one looked a little close, even from behind, and the second one Asa (right? I forget already) seemed to be behind the ball when it was played across so the last man wouldn't have affected the call.
Grass looks dry as hell, too. Hope you got some rain and respite from the heat for a greener pitch next week. I also love when you include Andrew's notes when he has something for you to check out later; it's like he's talking to you from the past, trippy.
Back to my opinions on the edit: it still keeps your style intact and feels like a Palmers video, but I did love having so many videos a week, of course. But with a baby and another channel, that's a lot of work for you, so stick with what you can do. I'll always watch Palmers and On The Road (I'm lukewarm on vlogging on the whole but I check them out sometimes).
the way he did it for the last game for the reserves when pud debut that was the best
If ur like me and been watching for a few years now I think this new format works really well it’s abit less for for smug so he can concentrate on his life and new family and the new format it’s fresh it’s something new just go with it I say can alway change it next season
The commentary is brill, however, as a 15 year player in the Reading and District Sunday League, the quality of the actual players is abysmal. However, it's Sunday football and it's great to watch, Palmer's are my new must watch. Keep it up.
How did u get into it
I am enjoying the Tommy music and German German, great additions.
Instead of switching between both games do the highlights of each game have the 1st team highlights at the beginning then the second team highlights at the end. Also add the bring the the music back
Dunno why everyone’s complaining, it’s really not that hard to keep up with both games in this format, I like it smiv! Maybe a compromise would be to have 2 games in 1 video but just one after another? Not changing every few mins. Just a thought anyway as I like this format! It’s snappy and with smiv’s witty jokes coming in thick and fast what’s not to like?
Keep it up smiv mate good luck to the boys this season!!!
I actually like this new format a little of both games which is great
I prefer the old format, but I love this one too so if it stays like this I won’t complain 😁
Well Smiv, I like it. A lot. Keep it up brother.
love this format smiv!
Like the new format, maybe add some music like last season but when there’s a big highlight such as goal cut the music so we can the reactions from the players and crowd. Overall a good change I’m sure we will still all watch the videos!
You guys have gotta see how much work the old format meant matt had to do! As much as I liked the old format the new one will grow on me.
