Episode 2810: Big Sam Live and Dangerous, Ten Hag’s Dressingroom Split, At Swim Two Northsiders

Wed 6th Dec 2023
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Branno and Sam Allardyce

Today’s main serving is two plates full of live National Stadium Big Sam, the interview that birthed a thousand tweets!

We talk to Sam about his early days in Limerick, his Ireland managerial prospects, tippy-tappy football, his short lived time as England manager and his views on modern English football culture.

We chat about last night’s cataclysmic (??) Premier League action, Rice in the  97th minute, goalkeeper union pundits, and Ten Hag employing some draconian Fergie tactics in his dealings with the Fourth Estate.

 

Plus there’s Eileen Gleeson’s winning football, Katie McCabe’s right foot, and today also sees Richie Sadlier drop the final episode of this series of ‘Episode’ as we bring you his conversation with Damien Dempsey.
