The two-hundred and twelfth episode of Hand Of Pod sees Sam joined by Peter, Andrés and returning panel member Rob Brown to look back on the opening weekend of Primera División action; matches which saw River Plate tonk Quilmes 5-1, Boca Juniors held to a 0-0 draw away to Temperley and Racing suffer the indignity of defeat away to newly-promoted Atlético Tucumán, among other results. Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s job as Boca manager is in serious jeopardy after a 4-0 defeat in the Supercopa Argentina (which happened after we recorded this episode), but he’ll still be in charge this weekend – though for how much longer? We also give you the latest on Huracán’s coach crash in Venezuela. Rumours of Patricio Toranzo having toes amputated are untrue. This week’s predictions are brought to you by listener Mystic Liam.
