Episode 3529: Bumper Hurling Championship Preview, Spurs Shall Not Pass, Declan Rice x Kieran McGeeney
The provincial hurling championships begin this weekend and Jamie Wall is on the show to take us by the hand and walk us through the myriad possibilities and guaranteed madness of the next two months.

The Munster championship of the last couple of years has been that rarest of things in sport, a competition where the previous year’s winners are nowhere near guaranteed to get beyond the group stages. Will this year be any different? And can we expect Galway or friend of the show Liam Rushe’s Dublin to pip Kilkenny in Leinster?

Ken is here to explain just why Spurs are so bad. The answer, it seems, is simple: they just can’t pass the damn ball.

Plus there’s City-Arsenal and the game that will define the Premier League season, Kieran McGeeney alone in a tunnel, and the Arsenal captain he may have inspired.

Lars Sivertsen and John Brewin join us to talk about the weekend’s football. Why did the Emirates boo at the end of Saturday’s game? Have Arsenal’s efforts to hype up their title run-in fixtures proved counterproductive?
