Episode 1366: Red Hot Rice, Zero Chill Lamps
It’s been a great weekend for Irish Premier League goalscorers and Brian Clough anecdotes, as Declan Rice, Shane Long and Jeff Hendrick ran riot while Martin O’Neill returned to management with Nottingham Forest.

It was not such a good weekend for Rio Ferdinand: when any controversy pits you and Richard Keys against the world, it’s time to start worrying.
Well said @rioferdy5 ????????. If Rafa loves Newcastle as he says – spend some of his own money. He’s got enough. Management is about teamwork – why should it always be Ashley? Buy it. It’s still for sale. They’re in the bottom 3 & Rafa is responsible. He picks the team.
