We’re in Glasgow! Marcus, Jim, Vish and Pete retreat to their man cave to discuss one of the busiest football weekends we’ve had in quite a while - but not before we rate some of Newcastle’s legendary nightlife spots from our weekend jolly.It turns out we weren’t the only show in town this weekend after Newcastle pushed Chelsea aside, and Arsenal were spurred on by Trent Alexander-Arnold getting booed at Anfield. Turns out you can indeed walk alone.Plus, we get through an array of bicycle kicks, from the heights of MLS to a listener concussing himself and breaking a few ribs in his back garden.Our live tour is happening THIS WEEK!

Marcus, Luke and Andy wave Tottenham and Man United into the Europa League final with a simple question: does the fact that one of these basket cases will qualify for the Champions League make a mockery of the Europa League? And what needs to be done to address the imbalance in the Conference League?  Elsewhere, we explore the unique reasons behind players becoming club legends and after a certain humdinger earlier this week, we try to work out the ingredients for a perfect game of football. Plus, could Nottingham Forest’s unique brand of football suit them in a potential European campaign? Our live tour is happening THIS WEEK!

Well, would you look at that - Gareth Southgate’s version of Manchester United made it to the Europa League final, where they’ll face Ange’s boys after their own unusually composed performance.Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete pick through that confusing conclusion and look ahead to some spicy weekend action on today’s blockbuster Preview Show! We wonder if Newcastle can get the job done against Chelsea, welcome in the Championship play-offs and plot the rest of Kevin De Bruyne’s career as he transitions from silky Brentford midfielder to setting up a bakery.Our live tour is happening THIS WEEK!

Marcus and Luke bid farewell to Arsenal’s Champions League challenge after a game that summed up their entire season: impressive and eye-catching in places, but missing that final... oomph. Speaking of oomph, the lads praise a deadly PSG performance and wonder if they’ll finally reach the top of their mountain, 13 years after they begun the climb. Just Inter to overcome now, lads… Our tour starts THIS WEEK!

My giddy aunt, that was quite the spectacle last night. A thirteen-goal thriller across the two legs?! That’s what football do to ya.Marcus, Luke, Andy & Vish are here to ponder on what might be the greatest two-legged game in football history. Plus, Luke explains why it's okay for Trent Alexander-Arnold to want a move to a bigger rat ball, Andy offers a 90s reference that even catches Marcus out, and we look ahead to Arsenal’s date with destiny.Our tour starts THIS WEEK!

Pete stops burning his Trent Alexander-Arnold shirt long enough to join Andy and recap a weird stalemate between Nottingham Forest’s mildly stoppable force and Crystal Palace largely movable object.They do find time to enjoy more sparkling Eberechi Eze form - even after he was seen moonlighting as a chess grandmaster over the weekend - and wonder where both he and Morgan Gibbs-White could end up this summer. In typical fashion for two talented English midfielders, it looks like one will need to stay while the other goes. Our tour starts THIS WEEK!

Marcus, Luke and Pete jump into the studio after Arsenal’s latest wobble, which could condemn them to third place in what's been a two-horse Premier League title race. Never mind, PSG this week lads! Elsewhere, Man United do another lol and can we attribute Cole Palmer’s great performance to Chelsea’s new relationship with a Dubai-based property developer? Their press release certainly says so. Plus, the Basildon Bond (Harry Kane) won his first trophy, the Championship played out a chaotic final day and Jamie Vardy kicked off his refereeing career in style. Bank Holiday Banter aplenty! Our tour starts THIS WEEK!

Arne Slot and his merry men got the title over the line, but how does his (and his pal Jürgen Klopp’s) Liverpool rank among the Premier League title-winning sides of old? That’s the nice, uncontentious topic Marcus, Pete & Vish are discussing today. Gulp...Plus, after Jonás Gutiérrez was spotted busking in Newcastle city centre, who makes our garage band of rock-and-roll footballers?Our tour starts NEXT WEEK!
