Football Ramble
Celestial Teal: The FA Cup final, the Playoffs and your headliner… Mike Dean
•
Leeds, oh, Leeds. When will their nightmare end? Not yet, apparently. Frank Lampard’s Derby and Dean Smith’s Aston Villa will face off at Wembley after a frantic pair of play-off semi-finals.
There’s also a look ahead at a juicy FA Cup final, a theory on what Jose Mourinho was really getting up to in that hotel, questions about Pep Guardiola’s cardigan - or is it cardigi? - and some fairly tortured Watford puns, chipped in by one of you lot.
And yes, we saw Mike Dean celebrating Tranmere’s win over Forest Green Rovers. What. A. Man.
