Episode 2340: City Clench And Clinch, Football’s Dictators, Mbappe’s Staying Power, Saipan Fresh
Manchester City are the Premier League champions, again sealing the title with a 3-2 comeback win at home.

We talk about City’s win and how in the end the players carried their manager over the line.
We are joined by Miguel Delaney and Jonathan Wilson to talk about City’s win. The last day provided the drama, but is the competition in a healthy state? Is the billionaire-worship of football fans an ominous sign for wider society? And while we’re about it, who was right in Saipan anyway?
That was the 2021-22 season – the most geopolitical of winners for the most geopolitical of campaigns.
The beauty of final day masks some ugly truths the Premier League should ask of itselfhttps://t.co/5oibbrfDfL
