    Can Man City end their losing streak against rebranded Spurs?
    Nov 21 2024
    Jimbo has Jack Lang, Tom Williams and Jay Harris for company in the studio as the Premier League returns. It’s official - Pep Guardiola will be at Man City until at least the summer of 2026. Can that news wake City from their slumber as they host a Tottenham team with a new badge and an excellent record against Guardiola? Sam Lee has more. A big weekend looms for Enzo Maresca who goes back to Leicester and Ruben Amorim who takes charge of Man United for the very first time, as they head to Ipswich. Wales are promoted to the top tier of the Nations League in dramatic fashion, plus there’s more joy for the never any joy brigade. And we remember one man and his umbrella on this day 17 years ago.

  • Coote controversy, Kane criticism and the return of Ranieri

    Coote controversy, Kane criticism and the return of Ranieri
    Nov 14 2024
    It’s the international break but Jimbo has a stellar cast of Rory Smith, Duncan Alexander and Charlie Eccleshare to accompany him through it. The headlines this week have been dominated by the suspension of Premier League referee David Coote after the release of several videos online. We discuss how VAR culture and social media have led to referees becoming main characters in the football soap opera. Harry Kane is upset at England players for pulling out of this Nations League squad. Will he see him as an executive at Bayern in 20 years continuing to call players out? Claudio Ranieri comes out of retirement to take charge at Roma for a 3rd time. Is he the most universally popular manager out there? Gary Lineker is leaving the BBC’s flagship football programme. Hear what people misunderstand about Match of the Day. Plus was Klopp holding Liverpool back and Diego Forlan’s tennis debut. *** We’ve been nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Football Supporters’ Association Awards!
