Show Notes
Joe, Carlton and Wayne discuss the ugly scenes in the Champions League tie between Benfica and Real Madrid, where Real forward Vinicius Junior received alleged racial abuse. The guys dissect Arsenal’s 4-1 victory in an electric London derby against Spurs. We go deep on the battle for the title - will City hang on to glory or will Arsenal silence the doubters accusing them of being “bottlers”. With Pep Guardiola encouraging his players to enjoy some cocktails having piled on the pressure on the Gunners, the boys offer up their finest City / cocktail puns (spoiler alert - it’s a mixed bag…). We celebrate James Milner who reached a record breaking 654 Premier League appearances last weekend. Our resident frequent flyer Carlton recounts a disastrous trip to Bochum which left him stranded in Germany with only a dry pretzel to his name. The lads also run down the pick of the weekend’s games.
