Pete stops burning his Trent Alexander-Arnold shirt long enough to join Andy and recap a weird stalemate between Nottingham Forest’s mildly stoppable force and Crystal Palace largely movable object. They do find time to enjoy more sparkling Eberechi Eze form - even after he was seen moonlighting as a chess grandmaster over the weekend - and wonder where both he and Morgan Gibbs-White could end up this summer. In typical fashion for two talented English midfielders, it looks like one will need to...

Pete and Andy catch their breath after a truly unhinged Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter - and guess who was strutting his stuff in the middle of it all?

Hold your horses Liverpool fans, this title fight is still on! You've got to go back to Anfield and get something. And I tell you what, they only need a point against Spurs...

The pressure was on for Nuno's men. They'd lost their last two games. They were down in seventh. Nuno himself (probably) had a crafty cig outside the stadium before kick-off. And yet they picked up a HUGE win at Spurs to return to third in the Premier League! Marcus and Vish react to a big night in Nottingham Forest's unlikely hunt for Europe and Tottenham Hotspur's equally unlikely hunt for 17th place.

Ohhh, Villa! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish recap one of the craziest European games you’ll ever see, as Unai Emery almost Europa League’d his way past PSG and into the Champions League semi-finals.

Marcus and Jim had barely fired up the telly before Antoine Semenyo’s cracking opener gave Bournemouth an early lead. And… that was it.

We also assess the prospective fortunes of both sides as they push for Europe and wonder where their coaches might be manag...
