Pubcast #124: Carrot & Hummus
The Pubcasters were in a fairly metrosexual mood this week, with politics on the agenda and a certain Cockney newboy enjoying a serving of carrot and hummus during the show…As well as Connor, regulars Mike, Dan, Jerome and Andy were in fine voice and with plenty to discuss after the bank holiday they were talking about:
• Paolo Di Canio joining Sunderland
• Neil “Colin” Warnock leaving Leeds
• A big weekend in the Premier League, Football League and FA Cup
• Champions League fall out
• Two naughty Englishmen in France
• Carlos Tevez pleads guilty
• Cravat Nick’s missus encounters another footballer
• Melbourne Heart’s season comes to an end
• And plenty more of the usual loveable banter
Sean Miller is discussing. 
Jim Staples are discussing. 
Most of our attention last week was focussed on the transfer window.

Some of Di Canio’s quotes, in various interviews:
“He’s the worst professional I’ve ever seen,”
“It wasn’t only the mistake, which can happen to everyone. It was the arrogance later on when he started moaning to the others. That was the worst thing for me.“
“If he doesn’t come out and say sorry to the fans for his professionalism then he is out of my team.”
And from another interview:
“He was one of the worst players I have ever seen.
“He’s another player like the others, why can’t we change the goalkeeper? Because the goalkeeper has a different coloured shirt?
“I know Wes, he was the worst player against Stoke in the cup – he was far away the worst player, he made a rubbish performance. But I covered for him because we won 4-3.
“But what he did was not only the mistake, which can happen to anyone, but the arrogance when he started moaning to the other players – that was the worst thing for me.
“A player that doesn’t recognise his mistakes which were clear from miles away, he started moaning to his team-mates. Out there he behaved as the worst professional, arrogant, ignorant athlete I have ever seen.”
In the words of Rio Ferdinand, “raw”.
