With the international break upon us, and no games to preview, this week’s podcast focuses on the biggest stories of the Premier League. The big talking points are: Chelsea’s problems, Vardy’s goals, and Vieira to NYCFC
This premier league weekend had story-lines for days. Can Joe Mourinho feel the Earth beneath his feet? He was missing from the Stoke City match but we all know he’d rather not talk about his defeat and humiliation with the press anyway. We talked about this last week, but there continue to be issues for Chelsea. Also, at what point in the season, if they’re still near the bottom, do we actually have to talk about a relegation fight for Chelsea?
Leicester won again. Vardy scored again. This time, they didn’t even go 2-0 down first. Is this progress for the Foxes? How good is Jamie Vardy? How long can Leicester keep up their flying form?
Brad Guzan’s face saved the day for Remi Garde and Villa as they earned a point against league leaders Manchester City. Are all hopes of City winning the league crushed due to injuries?
Newcastle stole points off a very deserving Bournemouth team, despite their own injury struggles.
How alone is Jurgen Klopp? Palace showed up and took all three points as Liverpool fans deserted their seats.
The North London Derby ended in a draw. Is Ozil Arsenal’s problem? Spurs seemed dominate but were unable to walk away with all three points somehow.
We also tackle a little Manchester City/MLS news with Patrick Vieira moving to New York City FC. Mistake or brilliance?
