One for The Hammers as we discuss (and in Suj's case celebrate) West Ham's triumph in the Conference League Final against Fiorentina last night. On the Pod, the timeline of the game with Suj's emotions through it, what did and didn't work tactically, the celebrations, the minority who tainted the victory and why ultimately ending a 43 year wait for a trophy meant so much.

Hi all, today I will be hosting a Zoom-in from 2pm BST today where you will have the opportunity to join on Zoom with me and ask a question.
The idea of the Zoom-in is that it should work like a radio phone-in.
How long conversations last will be subject to how many are waiting in the queue and I will do my best to submit people based on when they join.
There isn't unfortunately a clever way for me to notify people how long they will have to wait but please be assured I w...
What are they trying to achieve? And is there an impact on Newcastle?

Clayton joins James for a detailed chat on the North London clubs which focuses very much on Arsenal's title run-in and what went wrong. Did Arsenal lose or did City win it? There's a breakdown of the emotion from the Arsenal perspective as City closed in and if Arsenal can challenge again next season.
Plus, Ange Postecoglu is the new Tottenham manager and although we didn't know it officially at the time of the recording, we knew it was a done deal.
Is James happy with the appoin...

Here's my team of the season
https://youtu.be/N6h0RsN5Uys
On the Pod, Alexis Mac Allister's likely move to Liverpool, Rodri and John Stone's importance to City, Ange Postecoglu to Tottenham is nearly done, should Kane go to Madrid, Eden Hazard's Real Madrid spell, Jose Mourinho's harassment of Anthony Taylor, and some additional thoughts on GW39 including best players, key moments, what happened with the ladies game and how the tactics very nearly changed during the men's game.

More train drama for James to and from Leeds but there was at least a victory to enjoy and a brilliant conclusion with that Lucas Moura goal. There's details on what West Ham can expect against Fiorentina next week and there's an overview of the hits and misses from the club's purchases and for Tottenham there's a lot of players out on loan and some may yet have something to offer the club.

There's an overview of the 3 games played since the weekend and there's all the usual Dead, Differential and Minus 56 updates.
On this week's Quiz @FPLGas76 hosts and with the help of @FPL_Hank2 they've provided a quiz on the final day of the season in Premier League history.
How well do you remember the dramatic final day moments in Premier League history?
20 questions as usual. James is on the answers. Let us know how you score on the #trivia Slack channel but remember no spoilers please. Good luck.

2023-05-24 15:04:04 +0000 UTC View PostIvan Toney has been banned from playing football following an independent commission's ruling that the Brentford forward breached betting rules on 232 occasions.
Is the ban fair? How should we view this against cases of racism or football irregularities?
There's discussion on what we know, what Toney isn't likely to have done, if he's at fault, if he deserves sympathy and/or rehabilitation, why laws in football forbid gambling, football's moral compass and its relationship with ga...

Hi all, you've probably heard me mention it a few times that we'll be down on the South Coast on holiday this year (the famous holiday fund, thank you!) and that I'd organise a meet up in Bournemouth one night.
I can confirm that meet up will now be on Monday June 19th, venue to be confirmed a little nearer the time.
England play North Macedonia that night in a Euro Qualifier so we'll find somewhere that will show the game for sure. I just wanted to confirm the date for your di...
