Episode 3133: The Scroogecast With Wilson

It’s Christmas, which means it’s time to talk Barclays with Jonathan Wilson, the only correspondent we can always depend on to be available – even eager – for duty at this time of year.

In today’s chat we discuss whether Wilson might actually have been right about Ruben Amorim risking his reputation at Old Trafford, whether Guardiola can jolt his flatlining team out of their doom spiral, and whether we are all, in a sense, engaged in a process of becoming Jose Mourinho, ultimately arriving at the eternal question that has baffled thinkers about football since the inception of the game: What do Spurs actually want?

Plus there’s Jonathan’s picture-perfect Christmas, karate chop world records and a worm-less chat.
