Yet another totally football show.

Today, West Ham have Keppa for breakfast and burst Chelsea's bubbles,

while Greenwood leads Red Renaissance, he's a Mason, and so are the Red Devils.

Plus, bitter cherries, and on the weekend the pub is open, points getting pulled all over the championship.

We investigate in this totally football show in association with Paddy Power.

Hello, Daddy, hello, mama, chis-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.

That one going out for Eddie and the boys at the vitality in these dark and difficult times.

Hello, listener, it's Thursday the 2nd of July. And today I'm delighted to say that we're joined by Duncan Alexander. Good morning, James. Good morning to you. Lindsay Hooper is also with us. Hi, Lindsay, welcome back. Good morning. It's been a while. It certainly has too long, too long. And also, Rory Smith. Hi, Rory. Good morning, James. Good morning to you. We'll have Matt Slater and Laurie Whitwell as well. Joining us on the line later on. Rory, last time we heard from you, you were getting Lairie on the streets of Liverpool. I was putting on my hazmat suit and going out into an actual crowd of people. Wow. How did that work out? Well, thus far, like six days on, I am asymptomatic, so I'm relieved. I had a mask on and I didn't stop moving. That was my approach for dealing with potential wrists. But it was a really weird experience to be around a lot of people for the first time in about four months. How many are we talking? Well, you know what it's like when you're in a big crowd, you kind of massively overestimate it. So I'd have said several million, but apparently it was between like 8 and 15,000. I mean, when you launched that firework, they'd get out of the way, so that's one method. There was outside the crop,

actually.

I wasn't there for the peer head scenes on Friday, but outside the crop on Thursday night, there was a moment where a firework got shot into the air and went off target and came into the crowd and you sort of saw people running everywhere and that was the point that I thought, know this is this is too lairy for me cross that line all right well that was the night that

Liverpool became champions running everywhere and that was the point that I thought, no, this is too lairy for me.

Cross that line. All right. Well, that was the night that Liverpool became champions, of course,

and this evening, Thursday evening, they'll be received in glory at the Aetheed, having their Guardiola of honour, as Liam David O'Donnell described it. Nice one. Ahead of their clash with

Man City.

That's one of two games that are still to come in this round 32 of the season.

The other one being Sheffield United Spurs.

Already, though, we've had loads of games and loads of goals, and it's getting really, really interesting in the top four, five race and also the relegation battle,

particularly after Wednesday night's game at the London Stadium.

Let's start there.
