About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Tom Roddy and Jonathan Northcroft.


Chelsea and Manchester City will represent the Premier League in the semi finals of the Champions League. Can City finally win the trophy they’ve been missing and will their season be seen as a failure if they only win the Premier League? (00:00)


Gary Neville has encouraged players to run their own social media after Phil Foden’s social team posted a taunt aimed at Kylian Mbappé that was quickly deleted. Should players look to be more authentic online and which players are making a positive impact on social pages? (21:13)


Chelsea will have to topple Spanish giants Real Madrid if they’re to make the Champions League final. What are their chances given Real’s history in the competition? Does Chelsea’s record in reaching the semi-finals of the competition give them the upper hand? (28:32)


Slavia Prague’s Ondřej Kúdela has been handed a 10 match ban for racially abusing Rangers’ Glen Kamara in a Europa League match in March. Kamara was handed a 3 match ban for assaulting Kúdela in the tunnel. Does this punishment actually change anything going forward and should the club see more of a comeback from this? (37:40)


We end with our favourite red cards following Ukraine’s Natiya Pantsulaya somewhat cynical dismissal against Northern Ireland in their Euro 2022 qualification playoff (50:16)
