Marcus, Pete, and Andy reflect on last night’s Champions League happenings as Man City activate their FIFA ’99 bug and Pep Guardiola takes a decisive lead in a pointless statistical battle.

We get more numbers from Opta’s Pete Donaldson, discuss Sergio Ramos’ tribute to Robbie Williams, and - oh yes - revel in the news that Alan Pardew is interested in the Pompey job. Plus, we premiere a listener’s jingle masterpiece.
