Episode 2304: Benzema Glow-Up, Chelsea Breakdown, Everton On The Brink, Church of Le Tissier
Real Madrid demolished Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with Karim Benzema putting on the heading clinic of the century. Will Ken accept that he was wrong about Madrid and they actually are quite good, or will he continue to insist that they just keep getting lucky?
A night when Benzema rises above it to make history, as doubts over Chelsea’s exact future finally seem to take effect.
It’s not over, but Benzema is making this season his own.

In other mental plasticity news: with Matt le Tissier having stepped away from his ambassadorial role with Southampton in order to focus on “the work [he] believes in”, we look at how Le Tissier metamorphosed from golf-loving ex-pro to dark prophet of tyranny.
On Matt Le Tissier, just daring to have a different opinion, just asking questions, but never actually listening to any of the answers.https://t.co/iiFmPHceVG pic.twitter.com/UcHrHxdyyY
