Wayne Bridge: Mourinho's Triumphs & Garden Kickabouts With An FA Cup Final Ball | Could It Be Magic?

from Could It Be Magic? · host Platform Media

Could It Be Magic, the FA Cup podcast sponsored by Carling, is back with another episode as Joe Cole and Ashley Cole welcome their former Chelsea and England teammate Wayne Bridge into the studio. They look back at the 3rd round which featured that historic upset as Macclesfield dumped out Crystal Palace, and they also reflect on a career which saw Wayne reach two FA Cup finals: winning it with Chelsea in 2007 and coming up just short for Southampton in 2003 against the legendary Arsenal team of Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira and Ash! Away from the FA Cup the lads give us their take on how their former England teammate Michael Carrick has started out life as Manchester United manager and look specifically at how his spell in charge might rejuvenate Kobbie Mainoo. They also turn their attention to new Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior and the challenges he will face as a young coach in a high pressure job. Bridgey also reveals what it took to emerge as the winner of Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and the lads try their hands at the traditional pub game of beer mat flipping and get very competitive with it!
