    Is it panic stations for Arsenal and Spurs?

    2026/04/13 | 1h
    Arsenal are out of form and low on confidence, but they are still six points clear and very likely to be in the Champions League semi finals. Man City are in form and full of confidence - so, who are title favourites now? With the two meeting next week what does Mikel Arteta have to do to lift his team and do Man city have a higher ceiling in terms of performance?
    Across North London Roberto De Zerbi couldn't stop Spurs falling into the relegation zone, he thinks his team need a father figure not a coach...will that be enough?
    Plus, the best title race in years north of the border and Bruno Fernandes is a really nice guy off the pitch.

    Jonathan northcroft and Gregor Robertson join Tom Clarke.

    Anfield can't save Liverpool from PSG

    2026/04/09 | 58 mins.
    Liverpool suffered a 'chastening' defeat in Paris. Will the famed Anfield atmosphere be enough to save them from a dominant PSG team?
    Arne Slot tried a new formation and a new line up, none of it worked - the question is why? Was it his personal, the quality of PSG or his tactics?
    Bayern shone in Madrid, and brightest amongst them were Harry Kane - can he really still be under rated? and Michael Olise a player Gregor spotted while still playing for Reading - what is so special about him?
    After the break Danny Welbeck, David Raya, Arsenal's win i nLisbon and the return of the Premier League

    Tom Clarke returns with Gregor Robertson, Hamzah Khalique-Loonat and Tony Cascarino

    EFL Extra: Promotion chasing or relegation threatened - "The games are running out"

    2026/04/08 | 32 mins.
    Tom clarke and Gregor Robertson with all the latest from the EFL.
    Lincoln are promoted! Tom was there and reflects on a remarkable day. Just how impressive is the Imps achievement ?
    The play offs are still wide open in League One, the top teams have found some form but as far down as Luton in tenth still have a chance. At the bottom it looks like only one place left in the relegation fight.
    In the Championship could Southampton still have a chance of second? how do Middlesborough arrest their slide and are Wrexham's hopes over?
    Plus Leicester fail to launch - again and in League Two big wins for salford and swindon, a crushing run for Tranmere.

    Pressure builds on Arsenal and Liverpool

    2026/04/06 | 54 mins.
    Where does defeat to Championship side Southampton leave Arsenal? The positivity of Max Dowman's goal against Everton on 14th March seems a long time ago - out of two cups and with poor performances to boot can they bounce back?
    Liverpool were thumped by a resurgent Man City, but the comments of captain Virgil Van Dijk are perhaps most concerning for Liverpool fans - he thought his team gave up. Why and where does that leave manager Arne Slot.
    Leeds are in their first FA Cup semi final in nearly 40 years, but did it come at a cost as key players were injured. West Ham lost but showed fighting spirit ahead of the relegation run in.
    Plus, Spurs players, Chelsea projects and Southampton away kits.

    Gregor Robertson is joined by Alyson Rudd and Tony Cascarino

    2026/04/02 | 52 mins.
    Was Thomas Tuchel's experiment of playing Phil Foden as a 'false nine' a waste of time? Tony Cascarino thinks it was. Either way the attempt seems to have signaled the end to Foden's World Cup hopes.
    Did he learn anything else from the two disappointing friendlies?
    Gregor robertson, Martin Samuel and Tony Cascarino pick their own World Cup squads, and have a guess at who Tuchel will pick.
    A quick look at the plight of Italian football, the new reign of Roberto De Zerbi; and is the Chelsea project about to stall?
