  • EPLpod: England cruise to victory over Scotland

    EPLpod: England cruise to victory over Scotland

    With it being an international week, the biggest news in football is coming directly from the EPLpod studio after a big shake up of personnel. After weeks of speculation and stalled contract talks, Mike has finally shown his leadership has teeth by giving guest host Paul Metcalfe the boot. Paul Taking over the EPLpod to promote his own Arsenal pod proved to be the final straw for fearsome ruler Mike.

    In the fallout, I join Mike as we take in the weekends action as England brush Scotland aside and look forward to Spain’s visit to Wembley, Southgate looks poised to become England manager – god help him – and Manchester United top the table. No, not the Premier League table. The table with the biggest wage bill.

  • Karamoko Dembele: The next Messi or the next Freddy Adu?

    Karamoko Dembele: The next Messi or the next Freddy Adu?


    Freddy Adu, Cherno Samba, Sonny Pike, Tonton Zola Moukoko. If those names are familiar to you, it’s likely because of one unified reason: They were all touted as the next best young thing to strut their stuff on a football pitch but ultimately never came close to living up to the hype. Unless that is, you were playing Football Manager. Then Cherno Samba would have been getting all the headlines.

    Step up Karamoko Dembele, the latest teenage prodigy to be hyped up to dizzying heights before he’s barely had a chance to come up with excuses for not doing his homework.

    Having made a splash a couple of weeks back when the 13-year-old made his debut for Celtic’s under 20’s, Dembele’s ascension continued after being called up Scotland’s under 16 for the prestigious Victory Shield yesterday.

    Will Dembele be the next big thing? Nobody can answer that because the kid is 13-years-old for christ sake!

    However, judging by the video below, it will be fun watching his progress….
