The Daily Football Briefing

It was built up as “El Sackio”, so does West Ham’s win against Wolves spell the end of the road for Gary O’Neil? How upset are Tottenham fans with Sunday’s performance? Well, if Danny Kelly is anything to go by…very upset. And what’s going on with Mo Salah’s contract? Si Hughes joins us with an update.  It’s time for another big week of European football, but can you recall what’s going on? Can you even name the top three in the Champions League table? Fortunately, we’ve got you covered with a great big jazz-infused preview.  It’s all here, so click the button and listen now.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Danny Kelly and Si Hughes  Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

They’re never dull, are they? But how much more of this are Tottenham’s fans going to take? Spurs started brilliantly, but blew a two goal lead to lose 4-3 to Chelsea at home. Jack Pitt Brooke was there. That means that Chelsea are the nearest team to Liverpool, who didn’t play this weekend, but still came out feeling that they’d won. Arsenal, you see, failed to beat Fulham. There’s no shame in that, of course, Fulham are a very decent side these days. Jordan Campbell explains what went wrong.  And you might have thought that Manchester United’s defeat at home to Nottingham Forest was the most embarrassing thing that could have happened to them. Nope, they saved that for Sunday morning. Laurie Whitwell tells us what happened.  We’ve got all the big scores from around Europe and we’ve got Paul Tenorio on LA Galaxy’s triumph. Listen here, follow there and tell your friends. This is the Daily Football Briefing.   Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Jack Pitt Brooke, Jordan Campbell, Laurie Whitwell, Si Watts and Paul Tenorio Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

I don’t get it. They’ve only won one of their last six games and that was a barnstorming 4-0 win in Manchester City’s back yard. What is wrong with them? Jay Harris was in Bournemouth, and what a great job Andoni Iraola has done there, he tries to make sense of this.  Producer Si watched Fulham pull off an impressive 3-1 win over Brighton, they are sixth now.  And me? I watched the FIFA Club World Cup Draw. It started at 6pm and it just carried on and on and on. It’s still going now. Gloria Estefan is about to draw out another team. I can’t stop watching. It may last forever. My wife left me. She took the kids. But I can’t switch off now. Not now. Not when I’ve come so far.

Well, that was a busy night. We’ve got James Pearce on Liverpool’s draw with Newcastle, James McNicholas saw Arsenal beat Man Utd, I watched Man City win for the first time in AGES, but I did that on my sofa. Same with Producer Si, he watched Everton batter Wolves. But before you think we’re some sort of cut price operation, it’s important that you know we had Jacob Tanswell in place for Aston Villa’s first win in AGES and Simon Johnson for Chelsea’s thrashing of an increasingly indefensible Southampton, so yeah, we’re still big time. Oh, and we’ve got all the scores from Europe too, including Real Madrid’s defeat to Athletic Club, a defeat in which Kylian Mbappe missed another penalty. Once again, you really do need this podcast.   Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: James Pearce, James McNicholas, Si Watts, Jacob Tanswell, Simon Johnson Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.
