Episode 1396: Klopp’s Bayern Beef, Without Virgil, #SaveHakeem And Sports And Politics In Middle East, German Curse, Irish Luck
It’s shaping up to be a big week for Jurgen Klopp, as his Liverpool team meet the challenge of Bayern Munich, a team Klopp has had reason to be at logger heads with over the years.

Simon Hughes of the Independent joins us to talk about why Klopp so angered Bayern during his time with Dortmund, his relationship with Uli Hoeness, the loss of Virgil, and why a draw might not be such a bad result tomorrow night for Liverpool.

We also talk to James Montague, author of the brilliant “The Billionaires Club”, about the story of Bahrainian footballer Hakeem Al Araibi, who was saved from deportation and possibly death by a global movement led by former Australian Socceroos captains Craig Foster.
Some great detail in here about the goings on behind the scenes to free Hakeem al Araibi. A lot of people involved, none more so than @SAlwadaei, whose role in keeping Hakeem’s story alive since 2014 should not be forgotten. h/t @ElMengem https://t.co/sfIpbC5RUh

We ask @emmetmalonejust how upset we’re allowed get over this manipulation of the existing international eligibility rules, given our history, and just how much good luck do we actually wish Rice as he embarks on his international career?
