Ep 3536: Ifs, Buts, and LBJ's Nuts - 27/04/26

About this episode

The episode discusses hypothetical scenarios in football, featuring insights from guest Lyndon Johnson.

What if Robert Sanchez hadn't been able to buy Chelsea some breathing space with a possibly-imaginary injury?  What if the ref last week had sent off Khusanov for fouling Havertz? What if Mikel Arteta and Daniel Farke weren't both believers in the philosophy of "you only complain when you're winning"? Pep Guardiola was buzzing throughout Manchester City's victory at Wembley though at times appeared to be struggling with his trousers: friend of the show Lyndon Johnson shows how it's done.  There's news from Scotland, from Turkey and Murph transcending ancient value systems. Summer is here and everyone is getting involved. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
