Episode notes

It’s a weekend that reminds us why we love football, relived by Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke.

Leicester win their first ever FA Cup. A classic cup final by dint of having one of the great cup final goals and cup final saves. How many clubs are feeling silly for turning their nose up at Brendan Rodgers? And are Chelsea in danger of being over-coached by Thomas Tuchel?

It’s a horrible weekend for Chelsea as they lose the Women’s Champions League final 4-0 to Barcelona. Like Tuchel, which selections did Emma Hayes get wrong?

Alisson becomes the first goalkeeper to score a winning goal in the Premier League, as we remember some of our favourite goalie goals. He keeps Liverpool’s top 4 hopes alive. And there’s the race to avoid the Conference League.

Plus why can’t Ancelotti fix Everton’s home form? Will England select Grealish? And should Arsenal cash in on Willock?
