Episode 1025: Pep’s Opinion, The Poch Curse, Wayne’s Wonder, British Bottom Feeders, Mo Melts Steel
Midweek Premier League football is one of the joys of winter. And joy was unconfined at Goodison Park where Wayne Rooney hit what he describes as the best ball of his career, while from the stands Sam Allardyce beamed down on his new kingdom.
This angle shows why Rooney’s goal was so good for those wondering what the fuss is about. (They didn’t show this replay on motd). @WayneRooney pic.twitter.com/DHMxbtwhit

Jack Pitt-Brooke joins us to discuss why Tottenham’s form has slumped over the past few weeks. Guillem Balague has rubbished the suggestion that the season diary he co-wrote with Mauricio Pochettino could have placed the club under some kind of curse.
Today 2pm, Commercial St, London, I’ll be signing the extremely powerful #BraveNewWorld that, according to some media, wins/loses games (a “curse” that only affects the PL as they forgot to mention the 2 Madrid matches and victory at Dortmund). Yes, they think we’re that stupid pic.twitter.com/GUC0L85PDN
