Summary

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Benji Lanyado and Matt Davies-Adams after a Premier League midweek and ahead of FA Cup 5th round weekend. Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the table to 13 points with a routine win over Newcastle. What records are in sight for Salah and the Reds? The most impressive display of the week comes from Crystal Palace who hammer Villa 4-1, leaving our panel purring over the performance of Adam Wharton. And asking if Robin Olsen should have let children use his goal at half-time. Manchester United claim most of the headlines off the pitch this week with INEOS making big cuts to the staff and the canteen. And we ask could we be about to see a brand new name on the FA Cup trophy in May? Plus the most handsome player in the Premier League and the invention of points. Produced by Charlie Jones.
