  • Sour grapes from Juergen Klopp, and a tearful win for Andy Murray: #GameOfTwoHalves Ep 55

    #GameOfTwoHalves Ep 55: Sour grapes from Juergen Klopp, and a tearful win for Andy Murray

    Time: 12:42 mins

    Synopsis: A Game of Two Halves is The Straits Times' weekly sports podcast that is out every Tuesday.

    Bernard Lim is joined by ST sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz and they talk about Juergen Klopp's frustrating evening at Old Trafford, where his Liverpool side saw their 17-match winning run ended by auld rivals Manchester United after a 1-1 draw. But were Klopp's comments about United's style of play warranted?

    The pair also talk about three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray and his emotional ATP title win at the European Open in Switzerland last week - it was his first title for almost two years, and the first major milestone since undergoing career-saving hip surgery earlier this year - and discuss what the 32-year-old Scot still has left in his tank.

    #GameOfTwoHalves Ep 53: The Samba Boys are in town, and have Liverpool really wrapped up the EPL title in October?

    15:17 mins

    Synopsis: A Game of Two Halves is The Straits Times' weekly sports podcast that is out every Tuesday.

    Money FM's Bernard Lim is joined by ST sports deskers Rohit Brijnath and Sazali Abdul Aziz as they talk about what Singapore football fans can expect from world No.3 side Brazil and their star man Neymar Jr, in their friendly matches against Senegal and Nigeria at the National Stadium this week.

    The trio also review an eventful weekend in the English Premier League (EPL), where Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were embarrassed by lowly opposition, while Liverpool go eight points clear at the top of the league after Manchester City suffered a shock defeat at home by Wolves. But does that mean the title is bound for Anfield?
