Like an Ehantharajah PE lesson, everyone’s abandoned the title race and pitched up in the beer garden. Marcus, Andy and Vish react to Man City’s latest cruel display, which had our favourite football tactics pervert purring over Bernardo Silva. Elsewhere, Fulham’s optimism was ground down at Burnley and we take a closer look at how Dyche deals with snakes in the dressing room (it’s absolutely brutal). There’s also news of the former Juventus defender who has reportedly been arrested for a very unique post-retirement activity. And speaking of retirement, Louis van Gaal has vigorously defended his honour in a very strongly-worded email. Probably a bit late for that, mate.

In Part Two, Keegan goes into full Keegan mode, with the smiles broad as England take a 2-0 lead against Portugal in their first group match. The panel reflect on why David Beckham was right in his belief that it was a precarious lead as Portugal eventually cruised to an easier victory than the 2-3 scoreline suggests.After a 1-0 win over a ponderous Germany in which Keegan’s lack of tactical nous mattered less than his ability to motivate players, the epic drama concludes with the tragicomic defeat to Romania, Phil Neville’s impetuous late foul and the subsequent penalty leaving England, with Fowler, Owen and Scholes looking on from the bench, needing a goal that doesn’t come.In the epilogue, a miserable farewell to the miserable old Wembley Stadium sees Didi Hamann skid in a long-range winner and Keegan resign in the toilets, some players in tears and Keegan himself writing his obituary as an England manager - "I'm not up to it”. He may not have been, but Rob, Lee and Gary, with the perspective of 20 years, find that there’s much to commend about the lad from Doncaster whose heart was always to be found just below the T-shirt line we hear so much about these days.

There’s no such thing as January blues at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side win nine out of nine, helped by the wall that is Ruben Dias. Has his impact been bigger than Virgil van Dijk's at Liverpool? In the latest Pitch to Post Review show, Jasper Taylor is joined by Kate Burlaga and Gerard Brand to discuss just that, as well as another goalless draw for Manchester United against a so-called big six side (20:05). Is their title tilt over before it began? And what is success for Arsenal this season? In part three we focus on Newcastle after their shock 2-0 win at Everton (33:39), masterminded by Graeme, sorry, Steve, erm... well, we figure out exactly who deserves the credit. And in part four we look back on a good week for Liverpool and a bad week for Jose Mourinho’s Spurs (43:51), plus the performers, performances and goals of the week.

We barely had time to take in last night’s intriguing game at Craven Cottage, as we were too busy looking at the plans for Fulham’s new stand. Wayne Lineker’s packing his speedos as we speak… Jules, Luke and Jim are here to look over a right humdinger between Man United and Fulham, as well as Man City’s slightly bizarre victory over Aston Villa and an infuriated Dean Smith. We also hear of Pelé’s plan to wrestle back his goalscoring record from Cristiano Ronaldo and Michail Antonio’s honest assessment of his Christmas Lamborghini crash.

Marcus, Jim and Pete look back on a weekend packed with Premier League happenings! Man City put on a lamps out performance at Stamford Bridge which left everyone reeling - their own keeper most of all. But while Chelsea piss away their title chances, over in the midlands Arsenal just about resist the temptation to make yellow snow and demolish Big Sam’s men. Elsewhere, José was left feeling hard done by after Reguilón left his Christmas piglet. But over in Brazil Neymar had a quiet night in on New Year's Eve and left his underground nightclub untouched. There’s also news of a dog’s escapades in Bolivia and we ask who is the better father: Cristiano Ronaldo or Bean Dad?
