Chelsea appoint Alonso, Salah lets loose and West Ham woes worsen

About this episode

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Colin Millar for company on a very newsworthy penultimate Premier League weekend.


It’s Man City who claim the FA Cup and the domestic cup double but runners up Chelsea waste no time in appointing Xabi Alonso as their manager for next season. A coup for BlueCo? Liam Twomey joins us to discuss.


How are Liverpool fans feeling about that news? After seeing their team taken to the cleaners by Villa on Friday, Champions League football isn’t guaranteed and the departing Mo Salah has his say about where the team’s gone wrong.


West Ham slip deeper into the relegation mire with a 3-1 defeat against Newcastle. They must win their last game and hope Spurs lose their final two matches in order to stay up.


Bruno Fernandes equals the all-time Premier League assist record in Man United’s victory over Forest. And it’s a great afternoon for Bournemouth in the race for European football and the Cherries didn’t even play.


Plus Hearts miss out on a first title in 61 years after a dramatic finale at Celtic Park.


Produced by Charlie Jones
