Summary

Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to sing about the protests, dance on the grave of the European Super League, and pray at the Avenell Road altar for a positive result against Villarreal.

There's football talk too - another graduate of Hale End FC - Folarin Balogun's new contract, Thomas Partey's shooting, a moment for Thierry Henry,.. plus the Random Arse Generator is here to remind you that Paul Merson was *really good* at football once.

0:58.0	Yeah. I think we're overthinking it, to be honest, guys.
