258. A heartfelt apology to Alphonse Areola

It's funny what a couple of wins can do for morale. Back-to-back Premier League victories has led us to 7th in the Premier League and in a strong position for a fourth consecutive season playing in Europe. This time, a lot of the thanks has to go to Alphonse Areola, whose saved penalty and string of saves at Goodison Park led us towards a brilliant 3-1 victory in David Moyes' old stomping ground. Speaking of Areola's penalty save; it sparked a heartfelt apology from James this week, who was previously very critical of the Frenchman's failure to get anywhere close to saving any of Blackburn's penalties in the shoot-out defeat last season. Also this week, we look ahead to the return of the Europa League on Thursday and then the visit of Burnley on Sunday. Also, we mentioned in the podcast that we both completed the London Winter Run 10k in support of Cancer Research a couple of weeks ago.
