The Arab Spring came to Manchester this weekend as an outstanding City humiliated ten-man United. Michael Davies and Roger Bennett review that seismic victory and the rest of the Premier League slate, including Mario Balotelli’s philosophic musings, Iraqi supporter scarves, and Andre Villas-Boas’ turn as a high school mean girl.

The Men In Blazers are then joined by proper broadcaster and comedian John Oliver, who has just become Liverpool Football Club’s Most Famous Fan in Exile after the recent death of Muammar Gaddafi. The conversation quickly turns to human anatomy though as John shares his life-changing bathroom encounter with former Arsenal striker Alan Smith. All in the name of association football.
