Newcastle take control of top 5 race as ...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams for company as the race for Champions League football gets very interesting.


Newcastle make light work of Man United with a 4-1 victory at St James’s Park. Are they the best team in the country right now. And could they finish 2nd?


Chelsea come from 2-0 down to Ipswich to salvage a point but fan discontent grows at Stamford Bridge. And it’s squeaky bum time for Nottingham Forest who lose again at home to Everton. Could Moyes do a Nuno next season?


Liverpool could win the title next weekend after Van Dijk’s late winner against West Ham. And we ponder the chances of the English clubs in the Champions League next week.


Plus Villa Park is great, Spurs are a shambles and goal difference is a lie.



Produced by Charlie Jones.
