Summary
On today's show I chat with Charles Watts about his upcoming journey to Baku for the Europa League final, and the game against Chelsea frames the discussion. Are the team distracted by the Mkhitaryan situation? How much would Emery have used him if he were available? Who will play in goal, and who should play in goal? Then we discuss the interview with MD Vinai Venkatesham and Head of Football Raul Sanllehi, in which they laid out their plans for the summer and beyond. How confident can we be that they can get the job done? All that and some of the usual waffle.

| 0:40.7 | chat looking at the title race, the top four, the Champions League final, the Europa League final, |
| 0:46.8 | and lots more besides. And actually, we did talk at some length about the Henrik McAttarian situation, |
| 0:52.1 | which has dominated the news this week. It has dominated the headlines and the conversation |
| 0:57.8 | around the Europa League final, which really is a shame for, you know, for so many reasons. |
| 1:03.7 | And I'm not really going to do too much on that today because we've talked it to death myself |
| 1:08.2 | and James talked about it on Monday to an extent. And then on Tuesday evening, we talked about it |
| 1:13.9 | on our live stream, our YouTube live stream for Patreon members, which you can get access to. |

| 1:53.4 | Some of the decisions that Unai Emery is going to have to make in terms of his team, |
