Football Ramble

West Ham are in a European final! Sheffield Wednesday gave us one of the most dramatic nights of the season! And José Mourinho’s Roma… yeah, well they drew 0-0 with Bayer Leverkusen and had one shot to progress to the final of the Europa League. Vintage.Marcus, Vish, David and Jim chew on all of that with their Bobby Dazzlers (more on that, too) and discuss why Frank Lampard’s Chelsea will definitely halt Manchester City’s march to the title on Sunday.

Can someone tell Jim?Pete, Jim, Vish and Andy hop aboard Jordan Pickford’s bouncy castle to react to that, Southampton and Rishi Sunak finally levelling down, and the chaos at Elland Road that definitely had Big Sam rubbing his hands but probably also biting through Patrick Bamford’s violin strings one by one.
