   Episode 3680: Cum On Feel The Noize - 12/10/26

   A crushing win for Manchester City at Anfield, who went a man up in the second half then tore Andoni Iraola's scufflers to pieces. A beaming Enzo Maresca hailed his players and supporters for creating a big noise of their own to counteract all the noise the hater media has been making since City were found guilty of the biggest cheating scandal in the history of English football. City fans certainly looked like they were enjoying it - though according to the Manchester press, the situation is more complicated than it perhaps appears. Neil Atkinson and Jonathan Wilson join us to talk about…

   Ep 3675: Mark Zuckhurlberg , Eamonn Fitzmaurice Heads To Galway, Dara Ó Cinnéide On His Opposition To Outside Managers - 05/10/26

   Galway is one of only two counties to have won an All-Ireland football title with an outside manager, and they’re endeavouring to do it again with the unveiling on Saturday morning of their new manager, Kerry legend Eamonn Fitzmaurice. Dara Ó Cinnéide played with him for years, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t fundamentally opposed to the appointment, notwithstanding the diamond Galway have gotten for themselves as he tells us on today’s show. And Murph is punching up for a change, as he takes aim at the no-doubt extremely worried Mark Zuckerberg for meddling in the West Waterford junior B…

   Episode 3674: Ireland's Window Finally Closes, A Plea For Divorce, Early 4 Taoiseach - 05/10/26

   Ireland ended their four match run with five points leaving them third in the table. But, bar a Troy Parrott goal for the ages, these last few weeks will be remembered long into the future for the debate off the field and the rancour inside press conference rooms, more of which occurred this weekend. We chat to Ken from northern Serbia before he high-tails it for Belgrade and home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   Sham City, Player Relations, Ken Seeks Clarity

   Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs. This week on the world service, amid a flood of football stories, we got stuck into Sham City. We had a deep chat with Richie Sadlier about squad dynamics and player relations, given all that's gone down in this international window. Dion Fanning was in studio today talking about Oireachtas soundbites and Heimir V media. Plus…
