Episode 796: Alexis Sanchez’s Saipan, Zlatan’s Tooth For A Tooth, BT’s Gated Community

Eoin, Ken and Ciaran discuss reports from Russia, where top politicians are devising a macho new sport. One the Russians might have a chance of winning something in.

Today’s show is dominated by talk of L’Affaire Sanchez. Does the Chilean embody the passion that Arsenal are missing, or is this the posturing of a prima donna who needs to learn the meaning of respect?

Miguel Delaney joins us from London Colney to report on Arsene Wenger’s post-Sanchez, pre-Bayern press conference, where it seems once again, the Arsenal manager did not see the incident.

We also talk about the chaos at Old Trafford, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic escaped a red card, only to miss the penalty that condemned Jose Mourinho’s team to another dismal draw.
