The Martínez Cinematic Universe

About this episode

The sound of laughter, the sun appearing while you’re out for a walk, scoring a late penalty to draw 2-2 at the Etihad, these are just a few of the things guaranteed to bring a friendly smile out of Roy Hodgson.


Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish take a moment to enjoy that before settling into their seats to watch the next chapter of the Martínez Cinematic Universe. Surely, Neal Maupay is the story’s best villain? Plus, Vish compares Liverpool 0 - 0 Man United to watching an episode of Takeshi’s Castle.
