It's All Kicking Off!

Welcome back to 'It's All Kicking Off!' - for our Weekend Preview edition. The Premier League is into the second half of the season, and for some teams the New Year has brought new managers - for instance, Everton... sort of. David Moyes rolls back the years to take the reins once again at Everton, but is he the best manager they could've got? Maybe another new appointee, Graeme Potter at West Ham, would've been a better pick? Chris and Ian debate. Meanwhile Arsenal closed the gap on Liverpool, after a win in the North London Derby. Is the title race back on? And with the surprise package Nottingham Forest also in and around top spot, why does Chris liken Nuno's men to a colony of ants? They also have time to tackle the BIG question: is an adder a venomous snake? Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton Producer: John Rogers Learn more about your ad choices.
