I'll give Ken today on the Jose front, but hopefully he can stop talking about him now.

It might be boring for you but it’s like brexit or trump it’s a moving story. You should let this level of mourinho chat go...Utd v Liverpool was one of the biggest matches in sport and the biggest game in club football. About 700 m people watch it (200 m more than the Classico). Utd were humiliated and Jose was at war with the board and players. The two teams cover the fast majority of Irish fans. If they have 10k subscribers the lads probably had hundreds if not a couple of thousand Monday listeners specifically tuning in for Ken’s take on it and they’ll have people signing up to hear him today.

I fking doubt it very much.
There's absolutely nothing "new" to be discussed. Everything that can be said about Mourinho has been said, even the discussions around who is to replace him has already been had. Idle and mindless speculation.

So long as the conversation is hilariously funny, I don't mind too much but the actual content has been rehashed from the past few months.

It would be great if he came back off the smokes today.

Pete Moss · 18-12-2018 03:54PM

Breaking News pod just released. Can't use spoiler tags on the pod's topic but.....

.....it relates to Jose Mourinho.

**inserts dramatic Dun Dun Duuun music for effect**

Cienciano · 18-12-2018 04:00PM

Would be funny if they released todays pod and never even mentioned Jose

Relax. They put out a tweet this morning “who wants a bonus you know what” with a pic of mourinho and they got about 500 likes in 4 hours. I would bet people signed up but who knows if they did, the point is the mob doesn’t agree with you.

So the manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world is fired and you don't want them to do a podcast on it because they've talked about him lots before? Right....

Baggly · 18-12-2018 04:44PM

7k responses in this thread. We did it guys. We did it.

Look, I get it.
It's big news - people like to hear people talking about a multimillionaire football manager get the boot from a business that makes a fortune out of these types of people talking about these types of situations.
But what exactly can be said about the situation that hasn't been said countless times before?
It gets a but mundane.

You implied it unless it is "hilariously funny".

Sorry, the implication was that I'd listen but not be happy unless it was hilarously funny, as I've heard a lot on this over the past few months.
By all accounts - go ahead, generate some more content.

Surprised to see nobody mention The Cranberries/Limerick all Ireland Jingle. That one is genuinely emotional, and I'm not even from Limerick!

I actually like it but wouldn't vote for it in a million years as it has the "the greatest sport ever!" schtick going on.

The bike one narrowly beats out 'good oul titanium jaw' for me.

Blanco100 · 19-12-2018 07:12AM

what was going on in that phone call clip they keep showing where Dunphy is talking about Ken telling him to check the dictionary?

Dunphy was on Game On on 2fm one night giving out about an article Ken had written on Pep

The bike one is way too long and repetitive for me. Hippie crack for me.

Choosing between Taxi driver and Ode to Babuska was probably the hardest decision i'll make all day

On the one hand Barneys film had heart but football in the groin had a football in the groin

Did US Murph develop a lisp?

Blanco100 · 20-12-2018 08:03PM

lawred2 · 21-12-2018 10:04AM

Enjoyed the book review

But Eoin as much as I like you and I like your style - please stop shouting when introducing people

Please

I haven't listened to it but by the sounds of what other people said on here, it's not that something controversial happened during it, it's just an awful interview.

the damien delany dunphy chat was very good, book club idea is a great addition.

On that note what books would people like to see on it?

Open by Andre Agassi
Back from the Brink by Paul McGrath
Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage (Haven't read it myself mind you but it is highly regarded)
The Club by Christy O'Connor

Haven't read the agassi book but the other 3 are great, you'd nearly pack in drink after reading Paul McGraths book.
Sea buscuit and the Tyler Hamilton book would be two more I really enjoyed.

dulux99 · 21-12-2018 12:23PM

When they asked for book club recommendations I actually emailed them suggesting the Paul McGrath book. That is an intense read.
