Summary

Johnny and Gav have almighty day ahead of them. Straight after the show, they're hotfooting down to the Oval for the cricket before then running across town to see the one and only Gallagher brothers at Wembley. But before that, they face the ultimate conundrum... what do they wear? It sounds simple at first but think about it, and think about it they did.

Plus, there's the return of Take A Chant as Johnny has discovered his new favourite terrace anthem. Send us your best chants via voicenote to our WhatsApp on 0330 33 33 100 or email us your clips to [email protected]. We're looking for Premier League specials please, and whilst you're at it send us your Premier League Mexican Handbags too!

You can hear The Kickabout live on Radio X from 11am every Saturday.
