On today’s pod: Tottenham survive after narrowly beating Everton, while West Ham’s win over Leeds proves meaningless as they are relegated from the Premier League after 14 years in the top flight. Jacob Steinberg joins the panel to discuss the failures behind the club’s decline, the future of the London Stadium and what comes next in the Championship.
Elsewhere, the panel discuss Roberto De Zerbi’s impact at Spurs, Sunderland’s remarkable qualification for the Europa League, Bournemouth and Brighton making Europe, and Aston Villa finishing fourth after spoiling Pep Guardiola’s farewell at Manchester City. There’s also a heated debate about the rise of in-game guards of honour after emotional send-offs for Pep, Bernardo Silva and John Stones.
Plus: Liverpool says goodbye to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, Chelsea prepare for life under Xabi Alonso, Thomas Tuchel names his England squad, and Harry Maguire’s family reacts furiously to his omission. Finally, one listener fears he may have accidentally eaten Jonathan Wilson’s mother.Support the Guardian here.
