  • Liverpool travel to Tottenham, as Chelsea look to end Goodison hoodoo
    Dec 19 2024
    Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Adrian Clarke and Benji Lanyado into the studio ahead of the last Premier League matchday before Christmas. The Carabao Cup quarter-finals bring good tidings for a Jesus-inspired Arsenal and league leaders Liverpool. How will the Reds fare at unpredictable Spurs on Sunday? Chelsea could go top of the table but they have to visit their bogey ground - Goodison Park. Will Man City sink further into the mire at Villa Park? And whose fault is their wretched run? The panel are feeling very frustrated by Rashford and Brentford but are loving Rohl and Robinson. Plus goals you don’t see anymore, and who plays the worst football in the Premier League? Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • Inter hit Lazio for six as Barca lose again in La Liga
    Dec 17 2024
    Jimbo’s joined by his continental crew - James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús and Seb Stafford-Bloor - to look back on the latest week of action from across Europe. Atletico Madrid took advantage of their faltering rivals Barcelona and Real with a 1-0 win over Getafe to move level on points with Hansi Flick’s side at the top of the table - and with a game in hand. That’s after Barca’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Leganes, while Carlo Ancelotti’s men were held 3-3 by Rayo Vallecano. It’s just as exciting over in Italy, with Atalanta flying high after their historic 10th consecutive league win. Napoli got back to winning ways to sit two points behind, while Inter also kept up the pressure with a statement 6-0 win over Lazio on Monday night. In the Bundesliga Bayern tasted defeat for the first time courtesy of a lacklustre 2-1 loss at bogey side Mainz, meaning Leverkusen closed the gap to four points courtesy of a 2-0 win at Augsburg. Plus, are Leipzig in the process of getting their season back on track? And in Ligue 1, PSG remain unbeaten and sit seven points ahead of the rest of the pack after their 3-1 win over Lyon. Elsewhere Lille extended their unbeaten run to 16 games in all competitions courtesy of a late 1-1 draw with Marseille, their longest unbeaten run for 51 years. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Serie A review - Six of the best from Inter while Atalanta make history (06.45) • PART 3: La Liga review - Barca lose again as Atleti close the gap (23.15) • PART 4: Ligue 1 review - PSG still unbeaten and seven points clear (34.15) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Bayern taste defeat for the first time as Leverkusen slash their lead (47.55) Learn more about your ad choices.

  • United stun City in Manchester derby, plus Martin, O’Neil sacked
    Dec 16 2024
    Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers have plenty on their plate after a narrative-packed Premier League weekend. The Manchester derby is won in sensational fashion by Man United with two late goals and Amad Diallo lighting up a drab derby. Is Man City’s place in the top 4 at serous risk? Two managers lose their jobs on Sunday. Gary O’Neil after Wolves’ apocalyptic defeat against Ipswich, and Russell Martin after Southampton’s mauling by Tottenham. Elsewhere Matt Davies-Adams watched Chelsea close the gap on Liverpool to just 2 points. But it’s a good weekend for the league leaders who rescue a draw with 10 men, while Arsenal draw a blank against Everton. Oh and Forest are in the top 4 after their own late comeback against Aston Villa. Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Man City 1-2 Man United with Laurie Whitwell (04.00) • PART 1b: Southampton 0-5 Spurs, Martin sacked (15.00) • PART 1c: Chelsea 2-1 Brentford with Matt Davies-Adams (24.30) • PART 2a: Liverpool and Arsenal drop points in different fashions (31.00) • PART 2b: Brighton 1-3 Crystal Palace (38.00) • PART 3a: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Aston Villa (42.00) • PART 3b: Wolves 1-2 Ipswich, O’Neil sacked (49.00) • PART 3c: Newcastle 4-0 Leicester (56.00) Learn more about your ad choices.
