First time in recorded history that Roy Keane has been compared to Trump.

Barry Glendenning on GFW giving second captains the credit for comparing Phil Neville to David Brent. Everyone is doing it now

I enjoy David Sneyd's contributions, insightful and with character, but without any agenda or 'very online' horse manure that I'm aware of.

He just talks about football without everything seemingly being part of some big narrative. From what I'm hearing he's not trying to make a name for himself by being 'that guy' he's just reporting on what he sees and seems like a sound lad.

Also, after just looking at his Twitter he looks absolutely nothing like I thought he would.

Keane does a great interview.... Is there a more interesting footballer to listen to ?

Nope! He’s box office. He’s an arsehole but he’s box office.

Hmmm... Strange definition of box office. The majority of what he comes out with in these type of interviews is contradictory bull****.

Box office means talking heartless bollocks and pissing all over your legacy as a player for a few quid from Cadburys?

Yeah but you can’t say it’s not entertaining. It’s two hours of ranting and raving. It’s box office. You don’t have to agree with the man. He’s great entertainment either way.

We've very different definitions of what's entertaining/box office. And I say that someone who rates Keane as one of his favorite ever players.

I’m an arsenal fan myself but I can appreciate Keane was one of the best players to ever play the game. I stand by what I said, arsehole but entertaining. The two hours of that interview was riveting. I laughed, I cringed, I was entertained.

EltonJohn69 · 07-09-2019 12:39AM

Keane is genuinely quick witted...I have heard so many footballers on these road shows just regurgitate the same old story about a famous goal or game.... Keane always has something new to say..... Journalists act appalled, but for news papers and podcasts Keane is a dream for the content he creates #KenDreamsOfKeane

Nah I disagree. Ken tries too hard to be right in those types of conversations and it can become confrontational - such as the Neville interview last year. I found Keane and Neville going back and forth themselves to be quite fascinating.

Exactly, Ken and Eoin can be challenging. Whereas, Joe and Nathan are accommodating. I would prefer an interviewer who challenge their guests, rather than comfort them. It's a personal preference though.

Keane - Neville exchange fascinating? Hardly. Truthfully, it was quite regurgitave and limp.

Ken's maniacal laughter at the latest George Hamilton curse was great, liked Dion's rant about Keane as well.

Apologies for the tangent but I disagree about this bit. I thought it was quite revealing. Neville is critical of Keane in a way I didn’t expect. His take on the MUTV thing that led to Keane’s departure is basically “Roy was always a prick who said stupid things but he could get away with it when he was younger and better”

It is down to preference. I would, as a United fan, prefer to listen to Keane and Neville go back and forth as opposed to Ken pushing his typical United hating agenda, which I hear often enough as it is.

Always enjoy the contributions of Sneyd and Fanning on the Irish team. They dissect it in an honest way whilst articulating the frustrations of most supporters.

On the subject of the roadshow I understand Ken's frustration at trying to break down Keane's character. He was the ultimate tough man on the pitch but seems remarkably thin skinned off the pitch. His comments on Walters were uncomfortable and unbecoming. He lacks the basic empathy to be a successful manager of people yet seems completely unaware of it.

Ken had a go at Neville for slagging off Joe Molloy on Twitter, just in case anyone thought there was any animosity between OTB and SC

Well nevilles tweet was partly a dig at ken for last year too

But, Gary, a lot of us are turning up just for Ken.

ziggyman17 · 07-09-2019 07:26PM

Ken has jumped the shark with his constant obsession with David Luis, just because they share the same hair style.. If it is a joke then it has been flogged to death..

Anyone else devastated by Ken's lack of capitalisation in that Tweet?

Ken never really uses capital letters in his tweets, it's odd.

Yeah I've noticed this before and been irrationality bothered by it. He literally writes for a living and it's like he's using poor grammar on purpose. I've never felt brave enough to voice this concern to anyone for fear of looking like a very sad individual

Anyone listen to the latest Players Chair with Paul O'Connell? Very good I though, definitely one of the better ones. Only problem was, it was too short. Only about half an hour.

I enjoyed it, but it was a bit familiar, touched on a good bit of ground covered in a previous interview with the lads. Timewise, I'm sure there were limits on stage time on the EP stage in question. But yeah, I could listen to O'Connell for a lot longer, even as a non-fan of rugger. Very interesting and personable guy.
