Chelsea & Newcastle back in the Champion...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Tim Spiers into the pod as the Premier League season draws to a close.


Chelsea finish off Forest and finish 4th, securing Champions League football. Should we still be expecting more from the Blues? And what should we expect from Forest in the Conference League?


Newcastle are back among the European elite despite losing at home to Everton. That’s because Villa are beaten 2-0 at Old Trafford, with a refereeing mistake that has Villa complaining to the Premier League. Jacob Tanswell has more.


Sunderland are promoted to the Premier League after stunning Sheffield United, quite the result for the second youngest team in the country.


Plus Aberdeen’s cup glory and why Tottenham should have two managers.


Produced by Charlie Jones.
