Customer Reviews
Eamon ??
U used to be a good journalist .. your lack of understanding of football and politics is shocking at this stage .. u are do partisan and nieve
Dr Abusalama
This interview with Dr Abusalama is one of the most powerful interviews Eamon has ever done. Absolutely brilliant. It would be fascinating if he could get someone on to offer the arguments of the other side.
FA Cup Final
Eamonn,
Have always loved your work going back many, many years and I never miss any of your podcasts. We share many similar interests and I love your guests, even the ones I profoundly disagree with (eg. Brendan the arch-Brexiteer you used to have on quite regularly!).
As a Man United supporter my gripe is that while you and John Giles (and indeed, Liam Brady too, before his retirement) have not been slow to criticise United regularly all season and indeed, for the last decade since Fergie left, there has been zero mention all week about Utd’s FA Cup Final victory against City. Absolutely nothing at all, which is very disappointing for us diehard United fans after listening to all the (totally deserved in most cases) criticism about the club. They played well and surely deserved some praise on this occasion? Still plenty of problems at the club but perhaps the new regime may be about to change some things and start on the long road back to where they used to be…
Keep up the great work and please don’t retire anytime soon - you are my go to podcast! Thanks also to the people behind the scenes who make the podcast possible!
