Episode 1276: The Inside Story On Why Donald Trump Hates The NFL, Mourinho Fumes At His Second Captain, Lampard’s Greatest Insult, Sightseeing In Seattle
Manchester United crashed out of the League Cup last night at home to championship side Derby, and it was humiliation on all fronts for Jose, as his team were defeated by a team managed by former lieutenant Frank Lampard – younger, taller, more handsome, and playing a style of football which looked nothing like the football they created as a team back at Chelsea.
Ken looks at the ever worsening relationship between Pogba and Jose and asks how long this can carry on.
JUST IN! ????

Donald Trump hasn’t ALWAYS hated the NFL… in fact, for years, his dream was to own a NFL franchise.
But when he took them on in a lawsuit as part of his ownership of a USFL team (an upstart league which at one stage in the early 80s looked capable of challenging the NFL), the dream died, Trump was humiliated, and he stored that particular grievance away, to be weaponised at a later date…
Today @realdonaldtrump accused Democrats of running a “con game.” During his time w/ USFL, Trump a) Disguised his voice to pretend to be a publicist; b) Lied to peers & said networks were offering a $90 mill fall TV deal; c) Met in secret w Pete Rozelle to bury USFL, get NFL team pic.twitter.com/tM7Ul26PGm
