Summary
Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Colin Millar into the pod after a wonderful midweek of Champions League semi-final football.
Man City and Real Madrid contest a 4-3 thriller at the Etihad in their semi-final first leg. But will City rue not killing off the archetypal villain in the horror movie?
Liverpool make lighter work of Villarreal as we pay homage to the fabulous Fabinho. Is 2-0 a dangerous lead in this instance?
The Premier League weekend provides plenty of intrigue. Is the Saturday lunchtime trip to St James Park the most difficult game of Liverpool’s run-in? Who has the easier fixture this weekend between Arsenal and Spurs? And if Burnley win at Watford, are they well on the way to safety?
Plus the saddest Premier League game ever and a guide to the Heimlich.
