Episode Details

On this week's show we ask do superstitious beliefs work in football? In much of Africa, there are stories week-in week-out of football teams using juju – beliefs that the supernatural can help them to score goals and win games. Does it work, and is it advisable to get involved in this area? Is it more psychological than spiritual? We hear from former Congo-Brazzaville captain, Oscar Ewolo, who refused to take part in a fetish ceremony before playing in an important international fixture. We also have the latest news on the gripping title race in the EPL and hear listeners' thoughts on which three teams will be relegated at the end of the season.
