About this episode

On the eve of Jose Mourinho’s fifth European final, he’s finally gone and binned the Special One tag. This time, it’s for the people.


A sceptical Marcus, Andy and Jim bring you all the squad news from *checks notes* Harry Maguire’s England, as Jarrod Bowen can finally escape his uncle’s potato farm for the summer. Plus, we cast our eyes over the Kylian Mbappé saga and pour one out for Florentino Pérez! Well, before pouring out one for our own reputations as we unveil another round of dire predictions.
