Summary
Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Dom Fifield and Tom Williams, as the first major silverware of the season in England is dished out.
Manchester City win the Carabao Cup for the 4th year in a row in an incredibly one-sided but narrow win. Would Mourinho have been brave enough to take off Harry Kane? And did Spurs ruin their chances of winning this final by ditching their former manager?
It’s a big weekend in the race for Champions League football. How long will it take to fix Liverpool? And do they need a break from each other?
Can Arsenal fans trust the process? Can Everton still make the top 4? Would West Ham settle for 6th?
Wolves are blown away by bullies Burnley. Is it time for Nuno to go?
Plus Tom’s right to reply, the trouble with slow motion and Leeds becoming normal.
