A European Royal Ramble

About this episode

A message to all commentators who solemnly declare fans don’t like to see scraps on a football pitch: we absolutely do like to see it.


Kate, Vish and Andy are ringside for City’s rope-a-dope, as we ask why Atlético continually insist on playing the shithouse hits. We also tip the hat to an entertaining one at Anfield, hear from Granit Xhaka about his relationship with Arsenal fans and look ahead to this week’s true title fight: José Mourinho vs Bodø/Glimt.
