Episode 3277: Spurs Killjoys, Trent And Alonso, NFL In Ireland, Lions Week, Sandwich Men
The Alonso era at Real Madrid began with a 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal at the Club World Cup. We chat to Dion Fanning and Rory Smith about Madrid’s new dawn and how they will fit the artist formerly known as Alexander-Arnold into the set up.
We also discuss the killjoys at Spurs who got rid of the man who brought energy, an identity, and a trophy to the club, Big Ange!
The Second Captains mailbag is bulging since our NFL in Ireland debate, and our new slot, “Lions Watch”, has been a raging success as famous rugby players continue to roam the streets of Dublin.
Plus there’s sandwich wisdom, cuttin’ turf and the transfer coup of the summer.

Should we be welcoming the NFL to Dublin with open arms, and paying for the privilege?
