    Yeah was listening to him with increasing dubiousness as the interview went on. Wasn't paying much attention when they introduced him, is he a journo or from a fanzine? Wilson's scorn was pretty funny.

    Count me as another one unimpressed by it. Nice to hear a different viewpoint I guess, but he came across more of a fan than anything else.

    I think they had him on before didn't they? And he was worse that time, in terms of coming across as a Chelsea fan, than he was the other day.

    I thought it was quite funny how after a full chat defending Lampard, he couldn't come up with a single club that would realistically want to hire him.

    Funny to see Wilson come back at his points. So he must listen himself.

    A few of the English pods seem to listen. Pretty sure they said it on either totally football or guardian weekly in the last two weeks. The anfield wrap mention it every few months too.

    English pods definitely listen/ are fan boys and namecheck SC. Some of the off the ball guys do a fair bit of plagiarism.

    Having Wilson on is always a highlight for SC. I think they had Miguel Delaney on too with him and he was his usual non relevant self

    Yeah I hate when they double up with having MD on with JW. Really ruins it for me.

    I've heard Second Captains mentioned on The Guardian pod a few times, always by Barry from Birr.

    Yesterday was very boring, think Ken referenced that fella in a monkey suit showing up when people were throwing a bastetball around before.

    It did seem a but more rushed than usual i thought they might have went into liverpool's complete lack of centre backs after Matip went off at half time but maybe it was not known at that time (a symptom of the thursday night recording i'd say).

    I know the video he's talking about i did it before in some management course its gas you totally miss a "gorilla" walking through a basketball game without noticing as they give you a counting task to do at the same time.

    I spotted the gorilla straight away and think it's rather worrying that so many people don't! How do they walk and chew gum at the same time? :pac: although it does explain why so many people are such crap drivers

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I remember ken saying he was in london for work and he had no recording equipment. He contacted Barry and he gave him a lend of some and they went on the beer together. Obviously know each other, he credits them a bit.

    I think I've seen it mentioned on here a few times and maybe one or two references on the show, but didn't Ken fill in and present Guardian Football Weekly once? and possibly didn't set the world alight :) or am I misremembering?

    The best thing that ever happened to second captains!
    One of those situations where Ken tries to hard and isn't himself. It can be awkward as fúck, imagine the Gary NEville interview wasn't in front of a live audience?

    Ken told the story at a live show.
    Him and Barry were drinking the night before. He kept up to Barry with the drink but then found out that actually Barry wasn't on the pod the following day.
    He made a balls of one part and presumed it would be edited out.... But it wasn't..

    We've all been there.

    Drinking like a fish, but telling yourself that it's not too bad because, sure, everyone else is on in the morning too and they're still going at it as well...only to realise to your horror that you're the only poor misfortunate bastard that has to be up in eight...no, actually, just over four hours....How is it that late already?

    Classic, lol. Pretty sure there was an episode during lockdown 1 when it appeared to me that Ken had just woken up and was extremely hungover. Happens to all of us!

    Was surprised how impressed Jacob Steinburg was with Chelsea. He saw something in that 2-0 home win vs burnley that I didn’t.

    Ken describing Laurent Blancs defending against Craig Bellamy as ‘crumbling like a burning building’ or something like that had me in stitches earlier.

    Am I right in saying Andy Lee hasn't appeared on the show since the Kinahan furore happened?

    Don't think he has actually... I'd imagine they'll cover the BBC panorama tomorrow to some extent... Is Lee still helping coach Fury?

    I've noticed the pods after Liverpool lost a few recently, they rarely touched on the subject or they had the odd discussion and quickly moved on

    Didn't listen to todays podcast so not sure if your referring to today but its been notable that he hasn't really criticised them too much

    Ha, as a Liverpool fan I always felt he over compensated by always being a bit harder on Liverpool. Either getting on board with whatever non Liverpool fans are currently slagging Liverpool or comparing whatever general scandal to that time in the last 25 years Liverpool also fncked up.

    Man Utd also live rent free in his head, like a lot of us of a certain age.

    I suppose I'm saying the same as you but from the other stand.

    I think his obsession/hatred for Murinio comes from Jose ruining Liverpool’s chance of winning a league under Brendan Rodgers. I think Liverpool fans universally hate Jose.

    Maybe as a generalisation that's true. I don't hate him. He's like a good baddy in a TV show or a heel in wrestling I believe they're called.

    I've a long list of offenders for 2014. Don't think Jose makes top 5, maybe sneaks in top ten. Bad passes across the box and missed sitters in derbies are higher.
