José's blues, boom Saka-laka and the Wilson Scenario – Football Weekly

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

We take a look back at the weekend’s football, starting with Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Spurs and former manager José Mourinho, who seems to have the look of the doldrums about him already.

There’s a game between two sides nailed-on to finish in the top four, and then wins for many of the contenders for fourth and fifth, which may well end up being significant in a Big Cup context.

We hear from Sid Lowe about gamesmanship in Spain, Archie Rhind-Tutt tells us about two enormous wins, and another goal from the big Norwegian, and Nicky Bandini delivers a sombre roundup dominated by the Coronavirus epidemic, which appears to be sweeping through Italy.

Back on Thursday.

PS: we have some new announcements – we’re back in London on 23 March, at EartH in Hackney. more details here.

PPS: we’re back in Leeds on 9 April, more details here.

PPPS: and before those, Glasgow and Edinburgh, with Max, Barry and Lars – Elis will join us in Edinburgh, and one more TBC in Glasgow.
