  • Marmoush, Merino, Man United, Marco Silva and the misery at West Ham

    Marmoush, Merino, Man United, Marco Silva and the misery at West Ham
    Feb 17 2025
    Jimbo welcomes Tim Spiers, Colin Millar and Adrian Clarke into the pod after an eyebrow-raising weekend in the Premier League. Liverpool make it past Wolves to stay 7 points clear but it’s a very edgy finish at Anfield. Are nerves setting in with the finishing line in sight and with trips to Villa and Man City to come this week? City themselves recover from defeat to Real Madrid to thrash Newcastle 4-0. Pol Ballus tries to give Pep and his players cause for optimism ahead of the trip to the Bernabeu. Arsenal stay in touch with Liverpool after makeshift Mikel Merino comes good up front at Leicester. But Chelsea are embarrassed 3-0 at Brighton. How much will they miss Nicolas Jackson? Plus the fabulous Fulham, Man United lose again and the bleak 3 months that awaits West Ham. Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • Man City broken by Real Madrid, plus Merseyside Derby drama

    Man City broken by Real Madrid, plus Merseyside Derby drama
    Feb 13 2025
    Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Alex Aljoe after a midweek packed full of late drama. Real Madrid complete a late comeback at the Etihad to take a 3-2 lead to the Bernabeu next week in the Champions League. Was it a result that broke Man City once and for all? The last ever derby at Goodison saw James Tarkowski hammer in a last-gasp equaliser for Everton against Liverpool. Patrick Boyland tells us about an emotional and heated night on Merseyside. The Premier League weekend gives us Newcastle’s trip to City, Leicester versus injury-hit Arsenal and the least Super Sunday Spurs v Man Utd clash ever. Plus Jason Tindall, Joao Felix, and freezing cold sailing trips. Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • Barca, Real and Atleti neck and neck, plus Champions League play-off preview

    Barca, Real and Atleti neck and neck, plus Champions League play-off preview
    Feb 11 2025
    Jimbo’s got Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Julien Laurens and Rory Smith alongside him as the Champions League Knockout Round Play-offs get underway. We start with a look at some of the big ties across Tuesday and Wednesday including the small matter of Manchester City v Real Madrid - for the fourth season in a row in Europe! Elsewhere, there’s the all-French affair between Brest and PSG, Celtic host Bayern Munich and Feyenoord v Milan just got a bit more interesting following the dismissal of Brian Priske… Domestically, in Spain the La Liga title race is the gift that keeps on giving with just two points separating Real, Atleti and Barcelona at the top of the table. That’s after Carlo Ancelotti’s side were held in a 1-1 draw by their Madrid rivals, allowing Barca to close the gap with a 4-1 victory over Sevilla. Over in Italy, it was a big Monday night in Milan as the Champions closed the gap to leaders Napoli to just one point after a 2-1 win over Fiorentina… just four nights after they’d played in Bergamot and la Viola had won 3-0 in a match that was rescheduled after the collapse of midfielder Edoardo Bove back in December. Napoli’s lead at the top stands at one point as they were held by Udinese. In France, PSG continued their imperious Ligue 1 form with a 4-1 victory over Monaco, which included a first goal for the club for a certain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Distant chasers Marseille and Nice both registered wins of their own to keep up their Champions League charge in what’s a very competitive chase for a top three spot. And in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich prepared for their trip to Glasgow with a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen, stretching their lead at the top of the table to eight points. That’s because closest rivals Leverkusen let complacency creep in again as they were held to a goalless draw by Wolfsburg. Meanwhile, Dortmund have gone five home games without a win in the league - their worst run since 2006 - after their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Stuttgart. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League teases (06.15) • PART 3: La Liga review - Title race gets even tighter, plus is Antony actually good in Spain?! (10.35) • PART 4: Serie A review - Miixed fortunes in Inter v Fiorentina double-header as Napoli slip up again (21.20) • PART 5: Ligue 1 review - Kvara bags his first PSG goal as chasing pack bunches up (41.35) • PART 6: Bundesliga review - Bayern extend their lead while Dortmund’s troubles continue (49.25) Learn more about your ad choices.
