Jimbo welcomes Natalie Gedra, Jon Mackenzie and Matt Davies-Adams along for a good old chat about a goal-tastic weekend of football.

Man City are top of the Premier League for the first time since February. Erling Haaland may have 50 goals but it’s time to show some love to Julian Alvarez.

Jimbo’s back and joined for a special late night pod by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Matt Davies-Adams. It was billed for months as an epic title decider but it didn’t materialise as a Man City masterclass saw Pep’s men wipe the floor with Arsenal at the Etihad. Is the championship race over for Arsenal and is there anything this City side can’t do? The Gunners will be top dogs in London, while Chelsea may still finish below all their Premier League counterparts in the capital. It’s 5 defeats out of 5 for Frank Lampard.

Hear why Serie A is in a cocktail shaker right now. There’s a big inquest at Bayern as Dortmund overtake them with 5 games to go in the Bundesliga title race. Will Kahn carry the can?

Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Carl Anka, Daniel Storey and Liam Tharme after FA Cup semi-final weekend and a pivotal matchday in the Premier League title race. Manchester United overcome Brighton on penalties to set up a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final. City in the final is a scary prospect when there’s a treble and legacy on the line. The next big City fixture is in the Premier League on Wednesday, the long-awaited clash with Arsenal at the Etihad. The Gunners stumble spectacularly at home to Southampton on Friday night, with squad depth maybe set to cost them the title. More North London misery as Tottenham give us possibly the worst start to a game in Premier League history at St James’s Park. After a 6-1 defeat, Daniel Levy needs to appease the fans but will finding the right managerial appointment take patience and quite some selling?

Matt Davies-Adams is joined in The Athletic studio by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Joey D’Urso in a week chock-full of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup action. Man City ease past Bayern to set up a Champions League semi-final rematch with Real Madrid, as Erling Haaland is agonisingly close to doing a Clive Allen. Real unsurprisingly sweep aside Chelsea to end their season. How far could the Blues slip down the table over the next 7 games? The other semi-final will be a Milan derby, thanks partly to the unfashionable fleece Olivier Giroud. James Horncastle tells us why defeat will feel like relegation for the losing side. It’s FA Cup semi-final weekend and Brighton and Sheffield United are the teams looking to foil a first ever all Manchester final.

Matt Davies-Adams is in the hot-seat, with James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo for company. Napoli trail Milan by a goal in the most delicately balanced Champions League quarter-final. Can the returning Osimhen fire the Serie A leaders to the semi-finals? It’s mission improbable for Chelsea and Bayern. Can the next manager get the Blues back into the Champions League? And would Bayern be open to selling Sadio Mane? Domestically, Dortmund somehow threw away a two-goal lead with an extra man in a major dent to their title credentials. PSG look to have sealed another title but could it be Thiago Motta in the dugout at the Parc Des Princes next season? And bridges continue to be burned between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Chelsea and Tottenham are both humbled at home by South Coast opposition as we salute Brighton and Bournemouth. Could Gary O’Neil be one of the best caretakers of all time?

Raphael Honigstein tells us about the Sane-Mane bust-up and why Bayern don’t have buyer’s remorse over Thomas Tuchel.

Meanwhile Maurizio Sarri is back on song with Lazio who look like a proper Sarri side and should be playing Champions League football next season.

Jimbo, Carl Anka, Duncan Alexander and Tim Spiers are with you after a pulsating Premier League weekend and one of the games of the season. Arsenal are pegged back from 2-0 up to draw 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield. But given the late onslaught, will it turn out to be a crucial point for the Gunners in the title race? Man City are in the ascendancy with Erling Haaland continuing to make our league look like a farmer’s league. And Jedi Roy Hodgson manifests an incredible 5-1 win for Palace at Elland Road. Leicester are looking doomed to the drop while we ask given all the refereeing wrongs they’ve suffered this season, should Brighton be awarded some more points?

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jon Mackenzie are back in a week packed full of Premier League football and yet more managerial movement. Frank Lampard is back at Chelsea as interim manager until the end of the season. He needs to introduce more spirit at Stamford Bridge and more chairs at Cobham.

Plus that Osimhen song, that Nuno Santos Rabona and that goal worthy of Maradona. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo, Jack Lang, Daniel Storey and Jay Harris reconvene to discuss a slightly bizarre Premier League weekend. Liverpool follow up their 7-0 win over Man United with a 1-0 surrender at Bournemouth. Which does little to convince the panel that they can overcome a three-goal deficit at Real Madrid in the Champions League this week. Leaders Arsenal cruise to a 3-0 win at Fulham with Leandro Trossard setting up all three goals. And Gabriel Jesus is back. It’s an unhappy Sunday for another Brazilian as Casemiro sees red again at Old Trafford. Why is he falling foul of officials so often when he didn’t in La Liga? And with the bottom 5 all taking points, and with 5 points separating the bottom 9, we ask who the heck is going down? Are Leicester too good? Or are Forest set to slide down the table without Johnson? Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo welcomes along Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke into the studio after a Champions League midweek full of drama and disappointment, and ahead of a Premier League weekend full of quirks. Tottenham’s joyless Champions League campaign ends with the first ever 0-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Milan progress to the last 8. Do the club need a reset and who is the manager to replace Conte and rebuild? Chelsea ease the pressure on Potter with victory over Dortmund as they keep their hopes of silverware alive. Did we see a new Potter and has he stumbled upon a starting 11 that he should stick with? PSG suffer another last 16 exit. Julien Laurens tells us why the Parisians don’t have a strong enough squad and why Bayern Munich aren’t as good as they should be. In the Premier League this weekend, leaders Arsenal travel to Craven Cottage with reason to fear Mitrovic, Solomon and co. And Man City are at Selhurst Park where they’ve had a hard time in the past. Elsewhere we discuss Brighton chance’s of a top 4 finish and Evan Ferguson’s chances of a big money move. Plus El Blockico, the king of the flick-ons and Adrian’s triple retake.

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo are back together at The Athletic studios in anticipation of some red-hot Champions League second legs. Bayern host PSG with a 1-0 lead but can they contain Kylian Mbappe, PSG’s newly crowned all-time top scorer? Especially when Julian Nagelsmann seems to have lost faith in Joao Cancelo. Dortmund travel to Stamford Bridge after securing their 10th win in a row in 2023. They’ve learned how to play without the ball and the brilliant Julian Brandt is archetypal of the new Dortmund. Spurs welcome Milan to North London for a fixture that’s too close to call. Is Rafael Leao due a big performance for the Rossoneri? Domestically, Sevilla are smashed 6-1 by Atletico with Sampaoli and Monchi both under the microscope. And Will Still is still unbeaten in Ligue 1 with Reims. Plus Scott Parker, Piers Morgan and boil-in bag rice. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo is joined by Tim Spiers, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams after massive wins at Anfield and the Emirates in the Premier League this weekend. Man United suffer their joint heaviest defeat ever, collapsing 7-0 at Anfield. Salah’s on song for the Reds, as is Fabinho as United look like toddlers in a playground. None more so than Bruno Fernandes. Saturday sees one of the games of the season and one of the noises of the season as leaders Arsenal come from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2. Reiss Nelson providing ecstasy at the Emirates. Elsewhere, Wolves are looking good to stay up as they see off Spurs in the Tim Spiers derby. Do they actually have a better squad than Tottenham? Plus praise for De Zerbi and Johnson, the less than effective Kai Havertz and West Ham as the Roy Hodgson GIF. Produced by Charlie Jones.
