Summary
Jimbo welcomes Michael Cox, Dominic Fifield and Duncan Alexander into the pod to preview some big cup finals.
Chelsea face Leicester in the FA Cup final, with both sides experiencing contrasting fortunes in midweek in the Premier League. Joe Brewin tells us how winning this competition would mean more to Foxes fans than a top 4 finish.
Speaking of the Blues, Katie Whyatt helps us preview the Champions League final with the finest WSL team ever assembled, against heavy favourites Barcelona. Perhaps an exciting new dawn for the sport.
We salute Man City - champions of England, a team that made esteemed opposition look like idiots.
We chat Palace with Dom, who says fans should be prepared to bid farewell to Roy Hodgson and we get an overdue bigging up of Benteke.
Michael finds out who he will face in the Inter Totally Cup final as Julien Laurens takes on Benji Lanyado in the semi-final.
Plus Greenwood for England, Ings for City and remembering that Aguero goal 9 years on.
