Episode 3130: Another L for The Pepman
Before our final pre-Christmas football show, Ken bought himself an early Christmas present which reveals the unsuspected parallels between Pep Guardiola and another dark brooding superhero.
We discuss the continuing leakiness at Manchester United and whether Trent Alexander-Arnold should make a multimillion pound donation to the billionaire John Henry in order to make Liverpool feel better about not renewing his contract a couple of years ago.
Rich Jolly joins us after covering the two biggest games of the weekend. Have City’s players stopped playing for Guardiola? Which of the generation of young ex-City Academy superstars currently ripping up European football might they have been better off keeping? What is ‘weird’ about Angeball? And who was the pick of a pretty impressive bunch for Liverpool?
