Summary
Jimbo welcomes along Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Robyn Cowen after League Cup last 16 week and ahead of Premier League matchday 10.
Manchester City are out of the League Cup for the first time in 5 years, knocked out by West Ham, a team of no stars, with their best squad in Premier League history.
Tottenham host Man United in the headline fixture of the weekend. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be there but Dele Alli might not be. Whatever happened to him?
It’s a miserable time to be a Norwich fan but we’ve found one willing to speak to us about what keeps going wrong at Carrow Road in the Premier League
We salute Sean Dyche and his 9 years at Turf Moor.
Plus Jonathan Pearce, bad weeks for Bayern and Barca, and the most symmetrical faces in the Premier League.
