One World Sports: How Do You Like Me Now?




Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: With yet another week passing in the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri and Leicester City continue to ride the wave of a truly unexpected rise to the top of the table after 25 rounds and with 13 rounds left in the season after handling Manchester City there is a shift in perceptions where the once unthinkable is about to hit solid ground. Joining Anto for a deeper dive discussion into this matter and several more is Oliver Kay of The Times to examine these Foxes against the landscape of a season in which big, cash rich clubs continue to hit the rocks, some big names in club management have been laid to waste and a story for the ages is taking firm root in English football history. How is it that a club that was once forecasted for relegation and its manager seen as little more than a prime sacking candidate taken on a role of miracle worker with a patchwork quilt of players who collectively have put teamsheets and huge budgets into the ringer all season. We also explore what failure now means for Manchester City and how this club has largely unachieved given its fabulous collection of talent, how Mauricio Pochettino has been flying under the radar for much of the season with a defense that defies some long standing beliefs about Tottenham and how events this weekend at Anfield has put a long standing debate into stark focus as its fans demonstrated against FSG over ticket prices and a whole lot more.
