The Dressing Room

Is the Premier League Title Race over and just how good is Max Dowman? Joe, Carlton and Wayne assess what could be a decisive weekend in the the race to be Champions, while at the bottom things are ‘as you were’ after Spurs, West Ham, Forest and Leeds all picked up a point - but who will be the happiest?

Elsewhere Chelsea are caught in a muddle with a huddle and in Europe English clubs struggle.

Carlton has a different ‘Away Day’ this week as he swaps football for horses with a day out at Cheltenham…once he eventually worked out how to get there!

Also do Chelsea have a plan, is the Premier League as good as we think it is and who was the victim of ’Baldism’?

Plus pre-matches speeches that go wrong, tunnel trouble and the players who like ’the chat’.

The boys are back and on great form as they look back at a wonderful weekend of FA Cup football. There’s more VAR mayhem, Port Vale provide a great ‘Cupset’ and did Fulham miss a fantastic opportunity to go further in the cup? Plus, Joe was pitch side for Wrexham vs Chelsea and gives his take on a gripping match. Bridgey’s happy following a win for Southampton but what next for Eddie Howe and Newcastle United?

Away from the FA Cup, we’re getting our crystal balls out to try and predict who’s getting relegated from the Premier League - and there’s a forfeit riding on it! Carlton’s been on another ‘Away Day’, this time heading to non league Braintree, did he actually manage to get there with no dramas??!

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.
