Hold The BackPage: Episode 10
[audio:http://ia341336.us.archive.org/3/items/HoldTheBackpageEpisode10/BPF_10.mp3]
OK, it might have been a bit of a fib last week – I mean, who doesn’t want to be a no.10!?
It’s Maradona, Pele, Platini…. it’s El Hadji Diouf for god’s sake.
It’s also Wayne Rooney – and he makes up part of the 10th edition of the Hold the BackPage podcast.
Your host Ciarán Ó Raghallaigh is the judge as Neil Ahern and BackPageFootball’s resident Manc, Ed Diggins go head to head over whether footballers that are ‘Hello’ magazine regulars deserve to have their private lives kept, well, private.
The lads chat about one of the first men on Giovanni Trapattoni’s subs sheet, United’s Darron Gibson, and ponder the future for the bench warmer extraordinaire.
There’s also a look ahead to Sunday’s Derby D’Italia between Inter and Juventus, where we ask Richard Chambers if Rafa Benitez is the new fatter, shorter, less entertaining Jose Mourinho.
How could we forget the regular Tweet the Press slot, where your messages are dealt with, and we seem to have a few Referee Atwell fans out there!
Last – and most certainly not least, judging by last week’s entries – we have Tip-Off! our betting competition, and this week the lads plus PaddyPower.com expert Chris McWilliams cast their eye ahead to Sunday’s Chelsea v Arsenal game. There’s free money up for grabs, so follow the links on the homepage and join in.
> Full details are outlined here.
Chelsea v Arsenal – comment below with your winner, correct scoreline and first goalscorer to be in with a shot of winning with Paddy Power.
It’s almost as much fun as waking up to see Abbey Clancy wearing your replica Robbie Keane no.10 shirt.
