We discuss dealing with speculation when assets are wanted elsewhere.
There's a detailed review of Saturday's draw for Tottenham at Brentford and why there is concern that Antonio Conte doesn't have a Plan B.
West Ham's Europa League semi final previewed and it seems James wants The Hammers to win on Sunday more than The Hammers do.
We take a detailed look at who Villarreal are and how a modest club from a modest city have found themselves in the Champions League semi finals, again. We look at owner Fernando Roig and how he made his money and ask if Unai Emery's team of misfits can now go on and defeat Liverpool.
Plus, do City deserve favourtism against Real Madrid and we try and fix the mess of our UCL Fantasy teams after Bayern Munich were eliminated by the Yellow Submarine in the Quarters

Champions League qualification is still very much on for both our clubs, albeit we're on very different paths. The Hammers outstanding win in Lyon is revisited, but there's concern about yet another defensive injury, could Declan Rice, the shirt snogger (as you'll hear), be forced into a more defensive role?
