Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Colin Millar for company with literally too much football to talk about.
The top two for the last two seasons meet at the Etihad on Sunday. Can the best defence in decades stifle Man City again? David Mooney from the Blue Moon podcast joins us.
How do we feel about the new Champions League format? Will we see more hidings the like of which Bayern and Celtic handed out this week? And how much longer does Paulo Fonseca have at Milan?
The Carabao Cup 3rd round gives us plenty to chew on. The longest penalty shootout ever, the exact opposite and the feeling that Ange’s Spurs might not know what they’re doing anymore.
We salute Salvatore Schillaci, the player who embodies Italia 90 more than anybody, who sadly passed away this week.
Plus Definitely Maybe, and the return of the WSL.
