Starting to get the tingles

The Premier League season is almost upon us and Jimbo is joined by the excited trio of Dom Fifield, Natalie Gedra and Tom Williams. The headline fixture of the opening weekend is Tottenham hosting Man City. If City don’t sign Harry Kane, does that hurt their championship chances? Will European champions Chelsea take the title with their incredible squad depth? Further down the table, there are big questions to be answered. Do Everton represent the biggest challenge of Benitez’s career? Are Palace fans right to be optimistic about Patrick Vieira? How much are Southampton gambling with their transfer policy? Billy Grant from the Beesotted podcast joins us on the eve of Brentford’s Premier League bow against Arsenal. And are Norwich about to surprise us all?
