    Just started this one. A warning: Man-U fans might want to give this one a miss.

    Ken Early,

    Sergio Busquets: He's like the three eyed raven, he see's it all but he doesn't move much...


    That made me bust out laughing!

    I'm a United fan and I've listened to it, they don't do the nauseating 'famous night at Anfield' rubbish you will hear in most other places analyzing the game.

    I'm delighted for The Pool (this version of them) and hope they enjoy the hell out if it.

    But I don't need to hear about it any more.

    Yeah, I didn't like the pool of Gerrard or Suarez, but I don't mind this one.

    The players may change but the fans never do. I just hope Man City can hold up their end so there's not another two of these to come instead of one.

    Please can we leave out the endless Man United v Liverpool bickering before it gets a foothold here too.

    As someone who doesn't follow either side I can assure you it's the most boring and pointless football "debate" possible. The soccer forum is full of this frankly tragic stuff.

    Yeah 30/40 something year old men who have familes and good jobs acting like ten year old children, it's bizarre.

    I hate Liverpool but I am looking forward to hearing today's pod.

    The football humour thread is the worst thread on boards. And that's saying something.

    Some parts of it do make laugh every now and again, but a lot of it is so utterly lame that it hurts.

    They should just sticky a thread at the top of the forum entitled "Liverpool vs Man U pissing contest" and just let them at it - some sort of Boards equivalent of a creche - and let everyone else live in peace.

    Don't quote me.. not in either camp.

    Haven't listened to today's yet, but tomorrow should be good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭corwill


    I'm no Man Utd fan but that was definitely one for me to give a miss.

    The only Liverpool focused podcast I want to hear is a tribute one after the team bus has spontaneously combusted or got struck by lightning (or a train, I'm not fussy) :)

    Ah here...

    Not even a big soccer fan anymore, really dont give too much of a **** - but cant wait to listen to the podcast currently downloading :D

    He does LOVE IT!

    Poor Ken seemed very hard on himself about the article he wrote this week, 'my smug and bewildered face' never heard of the journalist monkey, it's strangely accurate.

    Wonder would they do a GOT podcast? Would love to hear Kens take on the last few episodes

    I don't think he's been too impressed judging by his remarks here and there.

    I'm with Ken on this one.

    No mention of the europa league semis today. Bet they recorded it on Thursday.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,749 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    We got three hours worth of Football over the last few days, does anyone really care enough about the Europa League?

    Ken going through that Pochettino interview was gold, I think we should nearly start paying Diego Torres at this stage for the amount of entertainment he's given us via Ken.

    bit off topic, the first few pages of this thread are mad. Crazy to see how peoples buying habits have changed so much.

    also shout out to the posters saying that the ufc fighter interviewed in 2013 needs a new PR manager...:pac::pac:


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,749 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    And all the glee at their supposed downfall is hilarious in hindsight.

    Ha. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    I liked Kens translation of the South American commentary of Origi's goal

    Old thread is funny. This is from 2012 and still 100% accurate

    i'd agree with you on johnny giles as a least favourite guest. while his footballing knowledge will always be superior to mine, too much of his chat seems to involve 'back in my day' stuff.
    if he's asked about the shenanigans of a modern player, all we'd learn is that don revie or bill shankly wouldn't stand for it.
