  • Ep 3470: Bad Bunny's America, Seahawks Destroy Patriots, Melee By The Lee, Hurling Manliness - 09/02/26
    Feb 9 2026

    The Seattle Seahawks were heavy favourites to win Super Bowl 60 last night, and that's exactly what they did - absolutely dominating the New England Patriots and their young quarter-back Drake Maye.


    Brian Murphy has his chest out and his shoulders back after his beloved home city of San Francisco did a bang-up job of hosting the week-long party, and he joins us for his post-game thoughts.


    Cork are three from three in the National Hurling League, so why is Ben O'Connor so upset about things? And are his words going to help his team win the All Ireland?


    And we salute Bad Bunny, who delivered the goods in the half-time show.

  • Ep 3469: City Reignite Title Race, VARCE, Keith Andrews' Origin Story, McClean In Midfield - 09/02/26
    Feb 9 2026

    With two late goals at Anfield the Premier League title race went from stone cold, to flaming hot.


    To pick through the Manchester football revival, the VAR farce, Brentford's brains, the pep in Pep's step and James McClean's new midfield general role we chat to Mark Critchley of The Athletic and Gavin Cooney of the42.


    Our Dublin based LOI insider was in Lansdowne Rd yesterday for a subdued Sunday affair and Eoin takes a look at the Keith Andrews origin story.

  • Ep 3466: Forget it Pep, It's Artetatown - 02/02/26
    Feb 2 2026

    Just one week after wondering if the run-in pressure might get to Arsenal we are - once again - handing them the Premier League trophy after they extended their lead at the top in a chaotic and unpredictable weekend.


    Lars Sivertsen and Gavin Cooney join us to talk through the action.


    A lot of people probably gave up on Tottenham-City with Guardiola's team 2-0 up at half-time. They missed an unexpected and glorious Spurs fightback which laid bare the identity crisis plaguing Guardiola's team.


    The new City is packed with powerful finishers, but lacks the masterfield midfield tempo-setters who made sure the game was played the way Guardiola wanted it. Has Pep stuck around just long enough to see his life's work slipping into ruin?


    We also discuss Manchester United's rediscovered sense of destiny, Cole Palmer's future, Liverpool's future-focused transfer policy, and who really deserves to win Manager of the Year.

  • Ep 2461: Shackle-less Gaelic Football As The League Returns, Mayo's Andy Moran Impact, Hooter Hijinks - 26/01/26
    Jan 26 2026

    The Gaelic football season is back, and after a winter spent poring over stats sheets and risk-reward scenarios, it looks like the coaching class of 2026 decided to throw the shackles off and have some fun.


    Paul Flynn is in studio to talk to us about the Andy Moran impact in Mayo, the most impressive of the young guns we saw taking over games this weekend, why the hooter is an agent of confusion, and the extent to which protests over Allianz’s sponsorship materialised.


    Plus there’s snow-day in the NFL (the American version), and another very busy weekend in Dingle.

  • Ep 3460: Has The Arsenaling Begun? - 26/01/26
    Jan 26 2026

    Last night at the Emirates we saw the Premier League game of the season - but will it prove a pivotal moment? That's up to Arsenal and how they react. The one thing we can likely count on with Mikel Arteta is that he will keep doing things his own way until the end.


    Meanwhile, a new psychological study has revealed the typical personality profile and cognitive skills package of the elite footballer. Today we determine if the brains of either Murph or Eoin have got what it takes.


    Mark Critchley and Jacob Hawley join us to talk about Arsenal v Man United. Arsenal are top of the league and Champions League and advancing towards a quadruple, so why did the Emirates boo at the end? Do refs need to legislate against Arsenal's set-piece edge? And is there any reason NOT to give Carrick the permanent job?
