Summary
Big news, big games, it’s all happening in the world of football. And Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Lynsey Hooper and Adrian Clarke have all the tools to tackle it head on.
Harry Kane is staying at Spurs, for the summer at least. Did City leave Harry hanging out to dry? Meanwhile Pep Guardiola announces his exit in 2023. Will that cause a drop in intensity from his City side?
Klopp v Tuchel and Van Dijk v Lukaku is something to get excited about this weekend. Is someone due a hammering from Wolves? Like Man United this weekend?
West Ham are top of the league. The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas tells us about a group of likeable grafters that have made the London Stadium feel like home.
Plus statues, cardboard cut-outs and a flip reverse to what would have happened if Arsenal had won the Champions League in 2004.
