  • Mystic Nev may have it right Auba Gunners skipper

    Mystic Nev may have it right Auba Gunners skipper

    Gary Nrville is one of the most annoying pundits on television. Possibly only rivalled possibly by his Monday Night buddy Mr Carragher. Chief among this corner’s gripes with the former full back is his seemingly unending propensity to criticise those currently playing for and running Manchester United. If he’s that concerned about where the club…

    DriveThru Sports Show – Ep. 23

    Just a single topic up for discussion on this evening’s show – the latest spin of the managerial roulette wheel at Manchester United and the end of Michael Carrick’s 15 year association with the club. Hopefully just for now.

    Ralf Rangnick appointed Man Utd interim manager until end of the season

    Ralf Rangnick has been appointed Manchester United interim manager until the end of the season. The 63-year-old’s contract will see him take charge of the first team until June and then remain at the club for at least a further two years in a consultancy role. Rangnick told United’s website following his appointment: “I am…

  • Will it always be sunny at the Racecourse Ground?

    Several times in recent months mention has been given to the fact new avenues have to be unearthed and explored in a sometimes vain attempt to maintain some degree of emotional strength and hope. Horizons have had to be broadened. With farming out of the equation by circumstances beyond my control and NPHET/the ‘Government’ making…

  • Weird window leaves many questions

    A few years ago, on Deadline Day of the winter transfer window, I wrote a piece headlined “Almost time to take down the tent”. Inference being that the concept and the time around it resemble a circus. At the time, that manifested itself in the insane fees clubs were paying for players and the manner…

  • DriveThru Sports Weekly – Ep. 11

    Athletics makes its first appearance on our menu in very sombre circumstances following the passing of Jerry Kiernan, while I also look at the constantly evolving race for the Premiership title and also give my two cents on the growing trend of sports stars retiring long before their time.

  • Two CC’s of shocks as magic of the Cup lives on

    There’s shaky old footage on YouTube of Manchester United defeating Northampton Town 8-2 in the FA Cup of 1970. On a pitch that, while it may not have resembled a ploughed field, definitely had the top worked down on it. That, however, didn’t stop George Best from setting a record by netting six times over…

  • DriveThru Sports Weekly – Ep. 6

    Our most packed edition yet, encompassing GAA, Rugby, Horse Racing and Soccer with good, bad and sad news aplenty. I nearly feel I should apologise for rambling on so long, but, the hope would be that you will have the patience (very much appreciated) to stay at least part of the journey because some of…

  • The game changer needs his greatest ever performance

    I don’t mind admitting I’m numb, have no idea why I’m writing this, yet felt overcome by a compulsion to do something. By now, most of you will undoubtedly have heard that arguably the greatest footballer this county ever produced needs a bigger performance now than any of the mesmeric one he produced for club,…
