Episode 3659: Carrick’s Doom Spiral Begins, Heimir Names Nations Squad, Klopp v AfD, Asbestos Pratt
Heimir Halgrimmsson has named the Ireland squad for the four Nations League matches coming up, and Ken was in Abbotstown to hear it from the man himself.

Talking about these Israel games over the next two weeks will be sad and depressing… so we can be thankful for the mirth merchants Manchester United Football Club, who once again entertained and regaled the world of football last night, losing a 2-0 lead at home for the first time in 50 years.

Plus we discuss Jurgen Klopp, John Pratt, and respected asbestos-clearing firms in Hertfordshire.
