Summary

Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jonathan Wilson and Miguel Delaney have crossed the Bay of Biscay to see the teams currently 16th and 17th in the Premier League duke it out in the Basque Country with not only Europe's second biggest prize on the line, but also a place in the Champions League. Up front, Libero's intrepid trio of travellers mull over the plotlines for Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and their respective coaches. We also find out the real reason why Jack decided to take the ferry to Bilbao. In the second half (33:02), talk turns to what such an abjectly anticipated final means for the Europa League and whether the changes to the competition are the result or cause of this less-than-desirable eventuality.

We just want to thank you to listen to Libro and to let you know that there is a way you can help us if that's the sort of thing you might... This has been written by Rory. I can tell this been written by Rory. It's far too polite. Anyway, Rory is making us read this out before episodes. You probably gathered that last week. Rory's from Yorkshire. He's very interested in money. apparently it will help us make money so that's a good thing

0:18.8

please help us out anyway how does it go on yeah we started making this podcast because it wasn't enough podcast I think that's a good thing. Please help us out anyway. How does it go on?

0:21.3

Yeah, we started making this podcast because there weren't enough...

0:23.2

I think that's the thing about me, saying it's not a podcast about football. I do this than my other one. It was what it was. We don't ask you to get involved early doors. Start making it because we like talk to each other about football, I suppose so. like the industry working

0:34.8

I'm not sure that I mean that's what you're talking about

0:36.5

you've got a new job hasn't he's all enthusiastic

0:38.3

we want an excuse to do it more

0:39.8

we've really enjoyed doing it

0:41.2

right like the industry working I'm not sure that I mean that's what we talk about you've got a new job hasn't he's all enthusiastic we want an excuse

0:39.1

to do it more we've really enjoyed doing it sort of encouraging it is encouraging so many of you seem to enjoy it that's actually genuinely been true we've had lots of emails more than expected because we're not owned but I can't read that out because part of me is owned by one of the two garries they are Titans. He's definitely as a titan of a sports podcast world.

0:55.1

Just sort of rate us, reviewers, recommend us. In fact, if you're on the bus or maybe on a light transport system, maybe on the train, I'm not saying cheap, but I don't have seen London-centric. You might be on the metro in your castle or London, for instance, or the tram in Leeds. why don't you turn to the person next to you and say,

1:17.7

apparently is good for the algorithm, which is good for us if you can review us on Google. So if you

could do that, that would be brilliant. Anyway, should we get on with this? As I said, I'm Jonathan Wilson. I'm with Miguel Delaney from Unifent. I'm with Jack Pitbrook from The Athletic. And we're all on our way to Bilbao, aren't we, for the Europa League final? So yeah, speaking of public transport, Jack, you're taking a ferry. What's that about? Yeah, I hope that way, I imagine that when this podcast is released, I will be somewhere in the

1:44.2

in, over, I don't even know what the right proposition is, in and around the Bay of Biscay

1:48.6

on my way, I'm taking the Brittany Ferry's ferry from Portsmouth to Bill Bough, leaving on Sunday
