Episode 3199: Carabaoway The Lads, Liverpool’s Season

Dan Burn, Eddie Howe, Yasir Al-Rumayyan: they dream the same dream, they want the same thing. At least they all did at Wembley Stadium yesterday evening. As for tomorrow, who can say…

Rory Smith of the Athletic joins us to talk about the game. How did Newcastle so comprehensively get the better of the league leaders? And how does the result affect the perception of Liverpool’s season, which still looks likely to end with a Premier League title?

James Montague, who has a new book coming out next week on Saudi Arabia’s takeover of world sport, was also at Wembley to witness Newcastle’s day of destiny. We talk about what the victory meant for the Newcastle fans, the commitment of the PIF to further successes with Newcastle, and the rhetoric of human rights in the age of autocracy.
