Episode 3662: Brighton And Brentford Bash Basque Boys, Wirtz Won’t Make It, Brobbey’s Body Shots, Ratcliffe Rages

A rabble-rousing weekend in the PL saw Keith Andrews and Fabian Hurzeler humble the Basque Premier League princes. But when Brighton and Brentford smash one of the big teams, who really deserves the credit?

We discuss why Wirtz is probably not gonna make it at Liverpool, before John Brewin and Nick Ames join us to talk about Brighton’s thrashing of Arsenal, Manchester United strolling to a point at Fulham, and whether football really should be all about running.

We also hear Sir Big Jim’s latest views on some issues tangentially related to carbon dioxide, including the British Empire and woke universities, and Eoin tells us why Brian Brobbey is his new hero.
