Episode 2548: Newcastle Get Mean, Juve Down 15, Ravishing Marcus Rashford

Manchester United and Newcastle United look likely to contest the EFL Cup final next month. But are Man Utd tough and wily enough to stand up to Eddie “No More Mr Nice Guy” Howe?

Newcastle are in no mood to be generous to crisis-stricken Everton, who are currently trying to juggle sales (of various players and chunks of the club) and appointments (of a new manager).

James Horncastle joins us to talk about the new scandal engulfing Juventus, who have been docked 15 points in Serie A and could face still more punishment for transfer irregularities and salary manipulation.

Plus there’s Rashford’s goal streak, a shock in Scotland and the Murphy family’s Oscars week.
