Summary
For the first pod of 2023, Jimbo is joined by Tim Spiers, Nick Miller and Matt Davies-Adams in the middle of a bumper Premier League schedule.
We keep expecting them to falter but Arsenal go 7 points clear at the top of the table. What exactly will be the thing that stops them going all the way? The Athletic’s Greg O’Keeffe tells us how chasing Man City slipped up against Everton.
Up next for City, it’s Chelsea. It’s another disappointing weekend for Graham from Solihull as the Blues are pegged back by Forest. And for Tottenham who are beaten 2-0 at home by Villa. What’s happened to Son and what has happened to Spurs?
Plus samurai Palhinha, walking Thiago and the joy Wout Faes brought us.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
