Former Ireland international and regular guest Kevin Doyle joins us to talk about the Premier League weekend ahead with massive weekends ahead for Manchester United and Liverpool. We also chat about how new managers can leave players all over the place when it comes to physical conditioning. Mick and Mark also play Ladbrokes' 1-2-Free for the chance to win €100 cash.
