Episode 2424: Parker’s Premier Curse, Seagulls Soar, Cheika’s Pumas Maul NZ And Oz

Tue 30th Aug 2022
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, Michael Cheika

We have our first Premier League managerial casualty of the season with Scott Parker getting his marching orders from Bournemouth for daring to suggest they sign a few players – or was it because of the Premier Sports curse?

 

With games on all week, we speculate on the bright future ahead of Brighton’s Graham Potter, and why Aston Villa should play no part in it.

 

Last November Argentina were hammered 53-7 by Ireland, with former Leinster and Australia coach Michael Cheika taking over soon after. In the last two weeks they secured a record 48-17 win over Australia and their first ever win over NZ, in NZ.

 

He joins us today to chat about the huge turnaround in fortunes, his new positive mindset on things on and off the pitch, fixing their discipline issues and why having grace under fire is the key lesson for Los Pumas.
