Summary
Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Daniel Storey and Dom Fifield after another intriguing Premier League weekend.
West Ham knock Chelsea off the top of the table, thanks to the aggression of Antonio and the bravery of Moyes. We discuss why Chelsea are missing Kante and missing out on the full Lukaku experience.
Villa beat Leicester as we see how Steven Gerrard has transformed the Villa midfield. Plus we all learn that incredibly vague rule about goalkeepers having the ball under control.
There’s some love for Divock Origi and why Ralf Rangnick would rather have a Fred than a Fernandes.
Flo Lloyd-Hughes is back to dissect a dominant cup final display from Chelsea at Wembley.
Plus Orta’s antics and Bellingham and Mourinho talking themselves into trouble.
