Summary
Jimbo, Jack Lang, Duncan Alexander and David Preece dissect a big old week for English football teams.
Man City deliver one of their best ever away performances to turn the Champions League semi-final against PSG in their favour. We pay tribute to the non-panicking Pep.
Chelsea are in a similarly strong position after a 1-1 draw in Madrid, featuring Ngolo Kante and the strongest squad left in the Champions League.
Looking ahead to the Premier League weekend, we’re not promising goals between Man United and Liverpool, whereas Newcastle v Arsenal tends to deliver those.
There’s Leicester’s first trip to Southampton since a well-documented visit, plus the positives of Potter’s possible move to Spurs.
James Horncastle and Julien Laurens do battle in an epic Inter Totally Cup encounter.
Plus Kevin Keegan, David Icke and the song that used to soundtrack David Preece’s nightmares.
