Summary
Max Rushden and Charlie Baker are in the hot seats today as they navigate through a wild podcast of footballing drama and investigative intrigue.
The show kicks off with an in-depth look at the ongoing Spygate investigations surrounding Southampton, as the fallout continues to ripple through the league. Saints legend Francis Benali joins the guys to share his perspective on the situation, balancing his pride in the team’s incredible achievement of reaching the final with the frustration that these off-field headlines are beginning to take the shine off the players' hard work.
The focus then shifts north of the border to dissect a truly chaotic Scottish title race that seems to change by the minute. Liam Corbett from the This Is My Story Hearts podcast and Paul John Dykes from A Celtic State of Mind provide the boots-on-the-ground report from Edinburgh and Glasgow, debating who has the nerve to cross the finish line in a season defined by unpredictability.
To wrap things up, the tension is broken by the return of a fan favourite as the Wheel of Football. Enjoy!
