Tuchel Tears A Nation Apart, Joe Canning In Studio, Little Englanders And Merchants Of Woke
The appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England manager has divided both the proud nation of England and the ignoble profession of football journalism into two camps: Little Englanders and Merchants of Woke. Yesterday we heard from The 42’s Gav Cooney and Rory Smith of the New York Times, and today had his say. Have the FA made the right choice in appointing a foreign coach?
Before you press play on today's Pod;

Earlier in the week we were joined in studio by one of the all-time greats of hurling, Joe Canning to talk about his new autobiography, whether he thinks he max-ed out on his potential and how he and his family have dealt with the loss of their mum, Josephine.
Joe Canning made days. The day in the 2014 when he exchanged sideline points with Henry Shefflin. The day in 2015 when he caught a ball over his head, then swivelled in one swift movement to lash it into the net.
