Episode 3053: Fear And Rancour In Manchester, Mourinho’s Legacy, The Bull McCabe

Mon 23rd Sep 2024
Eoin, Murph, Gavin Cooney, Jonathan Wilson

We had been told that Manchester City/Arsenal games are guaranteed snooze-fests, but it turns out we had been misinformed. John Stones got the final goal of a 2-2 thriller in the eighth minute of injury time, and it was a game so rich in drama, so packed with shithousery, and so laden with meaning for this year’s Premier League title race that we simply had to hear from Jonathan Wilson and Gavin Cooney.

It might not have been a good week for Mr Mourinho in Turkey, but it will have gladdened his heart to tune into the Greatest League In The World to see both the top 2 turn into Jose teams.

It turns out he had the answers all along – why have a back 5 when you can have a back 6, and when all else fails, why not put a centre-half up top and try and get him on the end of a few diags.
