Episode 2416: Major Leeds Soccer, Open City, Praise Jesus, The Case Of Case(miro)
Jesse Marsch is winning points faster than friends in the Premier League as hard-running Leeds make a lot of other managers look bad.
After Casemiro’s tearful Real Madrid farewell, we debate whether his signing is a good idea for Man United. Meanwhile there are hints of trouble in paradise as Jurgen Klopp points out he’s not in charge of deciding how much Liverpool spend on midfielders.

John Brewin and Miguel Delaney join us to talk over the weekend’s action. Did they enjoy the spectacle laid on by Saudi v UAE? Has Gabriel Jesus brought Man City’s culture with him to Arsenal or is he playing so well because he’s left it behind? Are Spurs’ title-contending credentials looking less convincing after their midfield struggles against Chelsea and Wolves? And why have Tuchel’s Chelsea lost control?
This is the “sportswashing derby”.
But what is “sportswashing”? It’s probably too weak a phrase now, especially when you consider the scenes around last night’s fight
It is really strategic integrationhttps://t.co/uL8tmBm7Tn
