  • Real Madrid and Man City go again, as Kompany’s Bayern edge closer to the title

    Real Madrid and Man City go again, as Kompany’s Bayern edge closer to the title
    Feb 18 2025
    Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Michael Cox for your weekly dose of European action. We begin with the big F-bomb controversy which has taken La Liga by storm, Nabil Bentaleb’s dream return to action for Lille - and a look ahead to the all-important Champions League Knockout Round Play-off second legs, with Real v Man City topping the midweek billing. Elsewhere in Spain, the costly red cards for Bellingham and Barrios meant Real and Atleti left the door wide open for Barcelona who faced Rayo Vallecano on Monday night (after we’d recorded) - and it turns out that Antony fella is actually quite good - after making in three goals in three games at new home Betis… Over in Germany, it looks like Bayern Munich have one hand on the Bundesliga title after their goalless draw with closest rivals Bayer Leverkusen means the gap at the top of the table stays at eight points. Elsewhere the domestic misery continues to pile on Borussia Dortmund, beaten 2-0 by Bochum and sitting 11th in the league. In Italy, Juventus continued their surge up the Serie A table with a 1-0 win over Inter in the Derby d'Italia. It means Simone Inzaghi’s side missed the chance to go top after leaders Napoli had fallen to their third consecutive draw, held 2-2 by Lazio. And in Ligue 1, Fabian Ruiz bagged the only goal against Toulouse as PSG maintained their 10-point lead at the top of the table while Mika Biereth continued his remarkable start to life in Monaco with his second hat-trick in as many home games in their 7-1 thrashing of Nantes. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

  • 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 Etihad 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. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Man City 2-3 Real Madrid (03.00) • PART 2: Elsewhere in the Champions League (16.00) • PART 3: Everton 2-2 Liverpool with Paddy Boyland (25.00) • PART 4a: On This Day - Gunners Blades replay (34.00) • PART 4b: Spurs v Man United - not so super (37.00) • PART 4c: Leicester v Arsenal preview (41.00) • PART 4d: Brighton v Chelsea preview (43.00) • PART 4e: The rest of the Premier League weekend (46.00) Learn more about your ad choices.
