Tottenham v Liverpool being like a “Michael Bay movie” and “a dead rat in a bap” were particular good descriptions by Ken.
Ken describing Klopp's programme notes as being like 'An ambassador at the court of a Chinese emperor' gave me a laugh.
Can only imagine you mean Falcao?
At times there is definitely an anti Utd opinion from Ken which gets a bit tiresome (I don't support Utd btw) .
A lot of what he said is correct about Ole but the way he speaks of Ronaldo at Utd, it's as if he was performing as shite as Higuain performed at Chelsea. Gets a bit tiresome after a while
Honestly, can you not see this lad is acting the maggot? Relax and don't be getting wound up by it.
Plus an 18 min signing would be awful on a podcast.
Do you have to keep spamming this nonsense? It's utter bollox. It only exists in your head.
For me, not for me
The flamehaired flamethrower of truth Mr. Ken Early.
The Reverend of Irreverence.
There's definitely a tinge of that the last couple of years. Maybe after 20 years of football reporting it becomes more difficult to fool oneself that this is nothing more than silly nonsensical entertainment and he should just follow his heart down whatever whacky point of view he enjoys.
Like is that not his schtick? Sure he has some opinions, him being an opinion writer but quite often he's got an irreverence for how seriously stupid most football chat is. ie the peno chat the other day.
I really enjoy listening to Ken but I do wonder at times is he either just trolling or just trying too hard to be controversial
Ken is a Liverpool fan… pretty soon football episodes are going to begin with him signing an 18 minute version of you will never walk alone.
Don't see hoe Ken can think TAA's challenge wasn't a pen but Coufal's was. Coufal touches the ball, how much he touches the ball should be irrelevant
I put on newstalk this morning at 7.45 on my google device, so through TuneIn. Gambling advert! First thing I heard in the morning was an advertisement about gambling. :/
The problem is that it's very hard to attract sponsors and gambling companies are often the only ones jumping on board. It's a tough decision between the moral side and accepting money that will keep you afloat. Not saying I agree with the sponsorship because it's gone way OTT in the last few years but I also understand why it happens.
Yep, much as I love Jimbo, I just can't handle that leechy slimy bullshìt. Don't listen at all anymore.
Are they still doing this? I am an Athletic subscriber so I get the ad free version of the pod. I **** hated the PP adverts on it.
They should talk about gambling in Ireland too, Shamrock Rovers doing this nonsense now:
Needs to be banned (gambling sponsorship in sports)
It turned me off them as well. And it's not just named sponsorship, they also have some guy from PP on every episode to talk for a few minutes. It's greasy.
GFW had great podcasts on gambling recently. Also, interesting to hear some of the presenters turning down work with gambling companies. I stopped listening to the totally football show when paddy Power became a sponsor. Also due to the fact that 3 football podcasts was a bit much. But they got a terrible reaction on twitter when they announced a gambling company as sponsors, people are sick of it
I think gambling is a probably bigger problem than crypto at the moment. I hate all the gambling ads. It's non stop in the premier League
Really enjoyed the crypto talk too. Have no interest in crypto currency but found it very interesting
Yeah really good. I'm not a gambler but I've gambled a few tenners on crypto just to see. It's all down.
It's so mad how sport can be a conduit for lawlessness. There's always a wild west grab what you can feel to sport. Pity the thing that makes you dream so much as a kid gets so corrupted.
Enjoyed today's pod. Interesting subject matter and intriguing to see how it develops.
This vaccine stuff over the last year has really proved that the Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
Rugby vaccine chat incoming?
Vaccine chats are boring though
So anyway....isn't rugby chat boring.
