On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Neil and Martin choose their Teams of the Season. Yes, 'Teams'. We have Premier League XI (featuring some substitutes from Martin), The Most Improved XI, the Newcomers XI, and Neil's Team to Make You Scream (made up of the best individual 90' minutes he's seen against Chelsea this season). Also, Martin's Letter from the Gantry takes us through Martin's final commentary of the year at Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim's Speech to the crowd, and what the future might hold for Manchester United.
Join Neil Barnett (former Chelsea touch-liner announce and football journalist) alongside the voice of the Premier League Martin Tyler in celebrating the greatest addiction in the World!
