1347: Jose Mourinho is GONE, Ken humbly accepts victory, 18/12/18

https://www.patreon.com/posts/23408321?utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=android_share

An entertaining post mortem on Jose's departure from Man utd and his career generally. Helps to have heard the Gary Neville episode although they do play clips from that at the start. 

Ep 1627: Lads, It's Hollywood - 20/11/19

The lads have fun on this one. Featuring clips from past shows when Lampard gets lampooned. Ken dismantles Harry Redknapp's defence of his nephew.  Stay for the Scotty Cannon bit at the end

Lads, don’t know if I need to get checked for Autism. But does the backing track that can be heard on today’s episode and some others not drive anyone else nuts?

Miguel bingo will be fun on Monday and throughout the week on his weekly Arsenal podcast tour.

Someone at the club told me that actually Arsenal are much further ahead than they're supposed to be at this stage.

For all the talk of PSG being unbeatable, Arsenal made them look 'uman.

Atletico memes

15 Upvotes

I know Ken is watching all of this and I'm looking forward to his assessment

For context Atletico started a twitter war over an offer made for Alverez. They posted a photo of Lamal in an Atletico jersey with the caption

HERE WE GO! We have sent a fax to @FCBarcelona_es with our transfer offer: 4 tickets for tomorrow's Bad Bunny concert, an annual subscription to ABC, and a bag of sunflower seeds. We eagerly await the response to prepare the 'announce,

And it's spiralled from there

Ken's obsession with the Enrique-Mbappe MJ clip

24 Upvotes

Not a criticism of any kind, I just find it hilarious to see Ken's ceaseless obsession with the clip from PSG's Amazon(?) documentary where Luis Enrique tries to get him to defend more by telling him how much Michael Jordan defended and that's what made him great and so on.

Ken has brought this up in literally every chat they've had about Mbappe in the last three years and it's so funny to me how he never gets tired of mentioning it.

Simon Hick, Trimble SC’s Leinster analysis wtf

10 Upvotes

WTF Simon. Trimble.

Leinster need to get rid of Cullen asap. If it happened 5 years ago that might have been a soccer style reaction, but after year on year of failure it’s just logical/ cop on to get rid of him now.

Trimble wtf were you on about also?? You WERE my fav rugby commentator now you are just another clueless Cullen buddy.

Cullen had ZERO coaching experience and was given the keys of a Ferrari. That was a disgraceful decision by the IRFU in the first place. Until Lancaster came on board Leinster were going backwards under Cullen. Lancaster should have been given full responsibility there and then.

Cullen has practically the Irish squad to select from. My granny could get that Leinster squad to a EC semi or final and a URC final. They have 3 important games a year and Cullen fcuks it up every year. Case in point, Frowley brought in at ht as out half in the final, despite Cullen not have selected him for over a year at 10. What sort of prep/ coaching is that??

Culturally Cullen has ruined Leinster. They were always renowned for attacking organised rugby. Now they are just some sort of horrible defensive hybrid. They don’t even lose gracefully.

If I am Ringrose. Furlong, Conan, JGP, Lowe, Henshaw, Porter, Keenan, Ryan, Sheehan etc I am disgusted that his clown has been my head coach for the best years of my career.

Get this absolute spoofer out of Leinster immediately and get in a legitimate, proven coach (Scott Robertson, Franco Smith, McNamara, ANYBODY!) and guarantee Leinster will win a EC before some of these guys retire ie. in the next two years.
