MNC: Dowman’s Delight, Man Utd’s Climb & Chelsea Charges
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Football Daily (BBC Radio 5 Live)
Premier League title race
It looks like it's Arsenal's title and people will remember Saturday night for what happened to Max Dowman.
Chelsea financial breaches
The fine is the biggest in Premier League history, but it's pretty paltry, to be honest, for the scale of the offences.
I suspect Tottenham were, whenever Chelsea signed a player, it tends to be sort of out of Tottenham's hands. That then impacts kind of what Chelsea achieve.
Manchester United transfers
I do think this is a bit of a sentimental guff as much as anything. Casemiro has done okay, but I do think he's had his day. He just doesn't have the legs which he once had.
Arsenal youth development
It shows how secure the manager is in his position, but also it was so tense... bringing someone on with no scar tissue, he can come on and just play with freedom.
Casemiro future
If they see huge value in him there to help the young players like Kobbie Mainoo... then maybe it's worth keeping around. But then maybe he's not very happy with that role.
Scottish Premiership title race
I think Hearts have less pressure than the other two right now. I think maybe because of the season they've had... they can probably play on the underdog thing.
I'm going to stick with Hearts. I think everybody will beat everybody else from now until the end of the season, especially after the split.
Managerial career
I've turned a few things down since I left Rangers and partly because I have to... I'm pretty much a yes or a no straight away for a club owner because of the way I play.
Chelsea controversy
I think huddles are for show. That's what they are. And if you're a player, show it by a recovery run. Show it by bailing your team out with a brilliant block.
