Episode 3467: Pep’s Politics, A Brighton Idea, James McClean In Derry, League Of Ireland Returns
Pep was home in Barcelona speaking out about Palestine, and when he was asked about it at a Man City press conference this week, it seemed as if he’d been waiting years to talk about it. Whether his fellow Premier League managers would appreciate the chance to be so forthcoming, is an open question.
James McClean is back home in Derry but is the real story ahead of this year’s League of Ireland kickoff the link up between Shelbourne and Jamestown Analytics? Garry Doyle of The Star and David Sneyd of the 42 join us in studio.
Plus there’s Stephen Kenny’s salary and League Cup guff.

Have politics always worked like this and the Epstein files are just giving us a rare glimpse of the reality?
Or have people like Peter Mandelson made them worse than before?
And how will the discredited political system adapt and survive?https://t.co/uxcODKouWE pic.twitter.com/fb3HsGKH3b
