The Premier League title race has taken another twist; so Mark, Phil and Thomas Sorensen are here to assess it all. We also take a chance to look at the other end of the table, with seven teams in a battle against relegation.
The guys also decide to isolate every Australian Wolves fan by all claiming their goal SHOULD have been disallowed at the weekend!
