Episode notes
Hello Rank Squad!
We're going on a bit of a trip down memory lane in today's episode, but one grounded in a very recent occasion - the game between Manchester City and Arsenal at the weekend, which had many of the hallmarks of the beginning of a new rivalry reaching its simmering point at the top of the division.
With that in mind, we take a look at the game and the narratives surrounding it, before walking back through the rest of the Premier League's most memorable battles for supremacy: Pep's Manchester City vs Klopp's Liverpool; the noisy neighbours affair as City and United wrested for bragging rights in both Manchester and the League at the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure; Jose Mourinho's scraps as Chelsea boss against Sir Alex's United and Benitez's Liverpool; the legendary Wenger vs Ferguson era of Arsenal and Manchester United; and even to the formative days of the new Premier League where Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United tried to challenge United's early dominance.
It's Ranks!
