A trophy seeking podcast full of egos

Top four or a Cup win? At the GegenPod, we're aiming for both, as former Socceroos Paul Okon and Luke Wilkshire join David Weiner and Richard Bayliss to chat about all the big football talking points, including Mauricio Pochettino's comments that 'trophies are good for the ego' but finishing in the top four is more important. The crew review Wednesday's Premier League action, headlined by Rafa Benitez masterminding Newcastle's upset win over Manchester City, while Manchester United came from behind to salvage a point in Ole Time at Old Trafford against Burnley. Lower down the table, Fulham enjoyed a stunning comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Ivan Perisic to Arsenal, Maurizio Sarri's Gonzalo Higuain lifeline, Barcelona's signing of Frenkie de Jong and Lleyton Hewitt's spat with Gerard Pique are amongst the range of topics up for discussion, while Okon and Wilkshire share some fabulous anecdotes from their days under Terry Venables and Guus Hiddink. There's also a look back at the Socceroos' underwhelming Asian Cup campaign, and a nervous look into the crystal ball over the qualifying prospects for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Hosted on Acast.
