Summary
Jimbo welcomes Rory Smith, Natalie Gedra and Duncan Alexander aboard the good ship Totally, sailing through a sea of Premier League football.
Arsenal come from behind to win the North London derby and close the gap on leaders Liverpool to 4 points. Are we set for an old-fashioned title race? How many teams are involved? And have Spurs broken Ange?
This weekend the Gunners host Villa who broke their hearts last season and ruined David Moyes’ homecoming at Goodison. And the increasingly impressive Bournemouth make the long, long trip to face a Newcastle side who are up to 9 wins in a row.
Plus eagle-handling content, father-son scoring combos and Everton season ticket selection.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
