Friday Night Club

After 20mins of praising Manchester City and wondering why winning 4 in a row is not garnering much fawning interest,
Finally, and I mean finally someone said “Maybe it’s because they have 115 cheating and financial fraud charges pending,
And other fans are all distracted by the massive Elephant in the room”

Finally!

The only podcast to even mention this obvious taint to the best League in the worlds beautiful game.

Any Corporation that pays for TV rights needs to realise that their product is vastly weakened by the delaying and posturing of the accused.
In America the College USC had to return all their NCAA titles for cheating in the last decade, and players personal trophies

So,
Does any of this mean anything at all ?
until Manchester City are called to task come to court
the league can only continue along with the very dark cloud they cast.
As mentioned previously Football is tainted until then sadly,
And I am sure it has to weigh on football purist (Pep I am looking at you) shoulders every Saturday.
Jb.

Evil Empire Clubs

It is near impossible to hear Man City and Newcastle without thinking of the horrible regimes that own them, so listening to pundits praise these clubs is sickening. They should let listeners know about their evil owners every time they decide to discuss positively about their clubs. Also, taking about the Saudi League is the same. ‘Oh poor rich Jordan Henderson’. He is supporting a murdering, horrid regime!!! Jordan gets all of the criticisms and more for deciding to join this sport washing system. Stop putting pity pundits into this show! Saudi Arabia and all of those other murderous, horrid, anti-humanitarian places should be criticised every moment possible!!!!

Euro Leagues is class

This show is an international treasure. The rotating cast of Horncastle, Rzouki have been exquisite. With respect to Balagué, the shows been fine without him. There was a bit of a sense last season that he’s a bit busy for the show and the guests have been a nice change of pace so far. No pretentiousness even tho everyone here has amazing careers and does a wonderful job. Hope he’s well but also that folks at 5 Live take note there might be other interest Spanish talent - esp in the wake of WC23.
