  • Managerial merry-go-round and how to beat City…
    May 20 2024

    Two minutes in and player of the season Phil Foden puts City one up. Title race over. Great player, great team. Tom Clarke, Alyson Rudd, Tony Cascarino and Gregor Robertson consider why City are so good, how other teams can compete and if Foden and Bellingham can play together for England.

    After a very good season, where do Arsenal go next, a striker, a left back…?

    Gregor is off to watch the championship play off final, often a cagey affair; will Leeds Southampton buck the trend?

    After the break a thorough look at some big impending managerial changes. De Zerbi leaves Brighton, could he end up at Man Utd or will Ten Hag be given more time. Poch appears very unsure of his future at Chelsea and how will Slot compare to Klopp…?

    We’re having a break on Thursday. We’ll be back on Monday to review the FA cup final and play off final.

  • Is it ever ok not to support your team?
    May 16 2024

    When is a fan not a fan? Tom Clarke, Tony Cascarino, Martin Samuel and Gregor Robertson discuss the bizarre atmosphere at the Tottenham stadium on Monday night as some Spurs fans struggled to cheer on their team against Man City.

    After Spurs didn’t do Arsenal a favour, could West Ham in the final game? In a word the universal opinion is… no.

    Premier League clubs meet next week to discuss the future of VAR…Martin has a simple solution; we need better humans. The discussion gets heated, proving the point that it is a very subjective business.

    Finally, Tony belatedly offers his alternative team of the season.

  • The best alternative team of the season ever!
    May 13 2024

    Arsenal have taken the title race to the final week of the season. But as Man City find their form on the run in, will it matter…?

    Aside from the title race Manchester United kept the score respectable at Old Trafford, but it was yet another lamentable performance from a club in the doldrums. What now for Casemiero et al?

    Tom Allnutt is confident that most Spurs fans will not want them to beat City, so handing Arsenal the title…Alyson Rudd isn’t so sure.

    Gregor Robertson witnessed the discontent at the City ground as Forest stay up but almost because of three worse teams then because of their own efforts.


    After the break it is ‘Tom Clarke's fun time’ as he makes everyone pick an alternate team of the season with a player from eleven different teams…which one player will make it from City and Arsenal and where will the other nine come from…?
