It's been a long time coming, a defence of Paul Pogba.
In fairness, no-one really saw it coming - or necessarily wanted to see it coming - but it's come on The Football Spin.
On Thursday, Paddy McKenna was joined by Conán Doherty and Rob O'Hanrahan in studio to dissect Mick McCarthy's Ireland squad and compare it with what Stephen Kenny has at his disposal.
The show had plenty to discuss but the standouts were clear:

- Troy Parrott debate: version 9.0
- Conor Hourihane conundrum
- The League Cup is the stage for us
- Goal-fest from the Irish
- The misunderstood Paul Pogba
