Well the old regime was very successful, so it makes sense to copy it!
Thomas Tuchel announcement out early enough for the lads today. Not a Chelsea fan but it caught me by surprise, change half the squad under one manager then sack him before there's time to bed in everyone.. a manager who won CL a year and a half ago. New owners going for continuity from the old regime
Yeah but I like sport in general. I don't necessarily have to be into the specific sport. If there is some good sport on that I don't know about I might put it on just to see it or have it on in the background.
To be fair if it's half way through Friday and you are only hearing that a sports event is on that weekend are you really into it? You just can't be. Anyone who is into something knows it's on that weekend. For the redord I like when sometimes they talk about what the mother will watch and her takes on a sport before or after the guide. But the guide for me personally is absolutely pointless.
Yeah, same.
It must be amazing to be aware of every sporting event, and its kick off/throw in time, happening every weekend.
To be fair, there may be something on that I wasn't aware of and might watch because I heard about it there.
Instant fast forward.
Seems completely pointless to me. Might have been useful if they were doing a sports podcast round 1987...
Yeah, I found the Magnus Carlson bit very interesting too. He's not a man that would compromise for anyone. It was similar to how Real couldn't disclose that Bale was signed for a world record fee so as not to hurt Ronaldo's feelings.
Yeah in retrospect in was quite interesting and a different take. I listen to a lot of different football podcasts and so much of the discussion is just Ronaldo talk.
That someone is magnus carlsen. It was really interesting actually. I saw the clip myself earlier I'm the week and was like how lame is it that real Madrid felt that they had to control the brand to such an extent that an interview with a chess player had to be edited to align with their marketing interests.
I only noticed because I was listening to the podcast yesterday, after having already watched the Chelsea game
Feature length “let it flow” segment incoming from Ken tomorrow
I plan my weekend around it and I still haven't recovered from the shock of different games being on yesterday.
Does anyone even listen to what they're saying in the TV guide section?
Hopefully it's noted for his performance appraisal.
The TV Guide was a bit all over the place this week. It was Lazio v Napoli last night, not the Rome derby, and Chelsea v West Ham was on at 3pm on Saturday, not the early game on Sunday
Holy sh1t, the Women's World Cup qualifying is complicated, had a pain in my head listening to Gavin Cooney explain it.
It's very, very good. Absolutely insane how it all played out, even madder how oblivious the Spanish FA were towards it
It does seem like Murph is the over enthusiastic puppy to Ken's grizzled old man, and Ken gets grumpy after a certain amount of time over it.
They seem to spark off each other more now they're back in the studio.
That was old friends having a great time.
bit of spicy chat between ken and murph lately
Does the football podcast get a lot of its stories from /r/soccer I wonder? The obvious answer is a lot of the big stories just pop up everywhere but I do find some meme posts I see on Reddit get covered on the pod
I don't like tennis. I don't watch tennis. I don't care about tennis. I love when they have Caitlin Thompson on to discuss tennis... And I see Murph was right about Serena winning...
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Ken's hungry bum comment yet. I lol'd
Ger would of had a different relationship with Ken than with the others. They were friends in college and he brought Ken into OTB, but yeah... people lose touch, it's normal. Parkinson however has tweeted about falling out with Gilroy, then again I think Parkinson is the type to fall out with people fairly easily, especially with those in management.
Can see them rotating for a bit Johnny Ward, Dan McDonnell etc. maybe appearing 1 or 2 mornings a week, interesting to see if Eoin ends up back there.
The business guy on Red fm? Nah, it'll be some twenty something starting out who has already been working behind the scenes. That's usually how they have done it in the past
Better off not knowing, take pleasure in the fact you've never heard of him.
