Episode 1435: Internal External FAI, Spurs Enter Another Dimension, Ole’s War Chest, Man City Digest, Italy And Racism
With City winning so easily that the home fans are reduced to cheering the shots of the opposing team, thank God at least Kevin de Bruyne is around to provide some emotion. Meanwhile their noisy neighbours are preparing for a busy summer.
It’s very Modern Manchester United to say specifically that they’ve appointed Solskjaer partly because of his faith in promoting academy players and then to give him loads of money to ensure he doesn’t have to do it any more. https://t.co/ddiOcE298a

Tobias Jones joins us from Parma to discuss this episode and the responses in Italy and abroad.

Plus there’s Matip and the flat earthers, 773 urinals, and Sport Ireland’s powers to withhold funds from the FAI.
The FAI thing is easily fixed. The Government should do what they did to the Irish Amateur Swimming Association after the abuse scandal. Suspend all funding until the crowd running the sport go away and some different people replace them. Done.
