Episode notes

Jimbo, Carl Anka, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams discuss a weekend that could be seismic for football in this country and around the continent.

The Premier League’s “Big Six” clubs announce their intentions to start a new European Super League. We discuss how this could be calamitous for English football, and to what extent the clubs should be punished for this deplorable act.

On the pitch, Leicester will play Chelsea in the FA Cup final, as Thomas Tuchel ends Man City’s quadruple hopes.

In the Premier League, West Ham are beaten at St James Park as injuries threaten to damage their top 4 hopes. And the same could be true for Spurs with Harry Kane limping off. Would Kane be able to engineer the transfer he reportedly desires?

Plus Redondo and Rashford’s nutmegs, Lyon out of Europe and Tammy Abraham out of favour.
