Summary
Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Sasha Goryunov ahead of the final weekend of the Premier League.
Man City go 2 points clear of Arsenal with victory at North London neighbours Spurs, to the glee of some Tottenham fans but not Ange Postecoglou. Can West Ham do the Gunners a favour on Sunday?
Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League while Chelsea are looking well set to reach the Europa League, although Mauricio Pochettino also doesn’t seem happy.
Jurgen Klopp manages Liverpool for the very last time as we look at his legacy and some of the moments that helped forged such a tight bond with the Anfield faithful.
We may also be saying goodbye to VAR if Premier League clubs decide to vote against it this summer. But would we just want it back the following season?
Plus it’s the final Inter Totally Cup quarter-final as Daniel Storey takes on defending champion Producer Charlie.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
