Summary
Aaron Paul is joined by correspondent John Murray, Paul Robinson, Clinton Morrison and Don Hutchison as Pep Guardiola says goodbye to Manchester City and the Premier League. The team react to Pep's emotional goodbye statement, they reflect on his era-defining decade in English football, and Manchester City fan Emily Brobyn joins to give the fans' perspective on his departure. Spanish Football expert Guillem Balague also joins the pod to look at what could be next for Pep, and to discuss his replacement, Enzo Maresca.
Is the Premier League about to go through a big transition when it comes to managers? Are we about to see a new wave of young coaches make their name in the Premier League, all with Mikel Arteta at the helm? How will Xabi Alonso fare at Chelsea, where will Andoni Iraola go next and can Carrick find greater success at Manchester United?
And finally, we look ahead to the final day of the Premier League, and in particular the relegation battle between West Ham United and Tottenham. Are we in for a final twist as West Ham host Leeds needing a win, and could Spurs slip up needing just a draw against Everton?
