Episode 3181: Slot’s Machine, Chasing The GOAT In Vice City, United Take The Soup

While our Chief Soccer Correspondent is chasing the GOAT in Miami the rest of the football world continues to roll on, or in the case of the English Premier League the word trundle may be better applied, as Liverpool look to have it wrapped up in February.

We have Dion Fanning in the studio and Mark Critchley on the line to look back at a weekend that saw Arsenal slip up, Salah stake a claim for the Ballon d’Or and Manchester United say to their beleaguered staff it’s soup or nothing.

We also reflect on the enormous outpouring of love for our chat with Charlie O’Leary on the World Service and reveal whether or not a spliff was offered to us on the DART.
