Episode 3095: City Combust, Amsterdam Violence, Why Scout If You’ve Got Wyscout, Drog Day Afternoon

Branno was among the 38000 at the Aviva to see Drogheda win the FAI Cup final against Derry City – but the 2024 season isn’t quite over yet.

We talk about the violence in Amsterdam around last Thursday’s match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which drew the attention of world leaders in a manner unlike any Europa League game before.

Dion Fanning and Gavin Cooney join us in studio to talk about the weekend’s Premier League. Why have Manchester City lost four in a row and what are the chances of them reverting to normal? Why can’t Arsenal build any momentum to chase them? Is Ange Postecoglou going to make it to Christmas? Are Liverpool really going to win this thing at a canter?

And with international week now OPEN we debate Heimir Hallgrimsson’s scouting policy and whether Wyscout is any substitute for the high carbon-burn human touch.
