The good times continue for Man United as they make history in Europe by enjoyably mugging off PSG while their largely injured squad watched on from the sidelines (and internet).

Scheduling conflicts forced the boys into an unconventional episode that split them up a little bit. First, Brad and Mike discuss Tottenham, Champions League, and some Premier League and then, Mike and Jimmy talk about Manchester United, Ajax, and a tiny bit of MLS. But the treat of the episode is an interview (@31:50) with long time Wolverhampton Wanderers fan, and co-founder of Wolves USA (@WWFCUSA), Chris Wood (@WWFCOHIO). He joins us to tell us what it's like to be a Wolves fan in America.

Also, a study revealing Cristiano Ronaldo's calm under pressure is unpacked in Mosse Makes the Case (20:27).

Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle reflect on a Derby Weekend having a big impact on 'The Race to the Finish'. Liverpool failed to score against their local rivals (01:00), Tottenham and Arsenal shared the spoils in a game that really did have everything (23:00), Manchester United scored a late winner in a game with 5 excellent goals (53:00), Man City went top by grinding out a win against West Ham (57:00), Maurizio Sarri finally closed the book on the Kepa saga and Brendan Rodgers started his reign as Leicester City boss with a loss at Watford.

After a busy midweek run of matches, the Robbies regroup to break down some of the key stories. First they chat about whether Maurizio Sarri made the right choice in starting Caballero over Kepa. Then, they talk the newest developments in the title race ahead of the Merseyside Derby (22:00), the race for 4th place (34:00), and Rafa's resurgence with Newcastle (46:00). Finally, the Robbies talk the return of Brendan Rodgers, and the exiting of Claudio Ranieri (48:30.)

The boys needed three attempts to record this episode. Our first take was probably best so you are left with our scraps; of which you WILL enjoy. Or else. We still manage to cover Tottenham, ManU, Newcastle, Almiron, Arsenal, and Champions League in this abbreviated episode. Please drop us a line on Twitter if you are getting any enjoyment out of this at all.

A mixed week for English clubs in Europe so far as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s party suffers its first real setback, in fact the party too such a turn he chucked out Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba takes himself home. Spurs, on the other hand, are having such a lovely time that if they’re not careful they won’t get their deposit back before they move into the new place. Looking ahead to an FA Cup weekend we’re keeping an eye out for a cupset as Man City visit the mighty Newport County, and there’s the usual mixture of DNA tests, goal machine Shane Duffy and Luke’s live remixing.
