Summary
Seb and Alex very much enjoyed watching The FA Cup final and were taken by Youri Tieleman's influence on the game, the incredible strength of Kasper Schmeichel’s wrists, and promising young liberos.
They also took advantage of Joe's absence to indulge themselves with a look at the Ligue 2 promotion race, the prospects of a Florentine hotshot, and a thrilling final-round championship climax in Turkey featuring some familiar faces.
