Summary

Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and Jack Collins take a deep dive into the Premier League Player of the Season debate, running the rule over the players who have lit up English shores this season, and giving their rankings on who deserves Mohamed Salah's crown for 2018/19. Hot Takes include a first visit to Tottenham's new stadium and how it will affect the rest of their season, the Pep Guardiola effect which seems to be rubbing off on the English National Team, and a discussion on why certain players have such different form for club and country. Bleacher Roulette takes on more big questions: what we would have named the EURO 2020 mascot, whether we'd rather have Sergio Ramos' or Gerard Pique's career and who would have won Ballons d'Or in the Messi-Ronaldo era if the two had not been around.

1:00.7	in Toronto or 6pm in New York, whether you're listening on March 14 or November the 18th,

1:28.0	heat of the moment who started from the bottom and who is definitely the best we've ever had
1:32.3	is Sam Thai. I understood about half of the words you said over the course of that.
1:36.3	Well, here at B off of all ranks, we're currently underground kings, but trophies are on the
