Episode 3705: Poch Poised, Troy’s Bull Fight, Rambo Part 2, Watergate McDevitt
As the consensus grows that Mauricio Pochettino will be the next man in the Manchester United hot-seat, we posit a number of questions. How many times have United thought about hiring him before; what has changed since this summer, when they could have gotten him for free; and just how bad a fit is he for this current group of players? None of the answers are all that comforting for United fans.
We also discuss young Eoin’s pioneering journalism (‘of its time’ for the 00s, we hasten to add), and, after being cruelly cut short yesterday, we gives ourselves the opportunity to look back at “Rambo: First Blood” in the sort of detail this 80s classic deserves.
