In this week's show I chat to James Benge of CBS Sports about decision making by Premier League clubs, and how easy it is to go off the rails – as evidenced by Chelsea's season, and Leeds appointing Sam Allardyce. There's Arsenal chat about how Mikel Arteta can improve next season, summer strategies, some of the younger players whose departures could fund high profile arrivals even if we might be a bit torn about some of them leaving, and much more.

In this episode, we discuss the 3-1 win over Chelsea on Tuesday night. We chat about the changes Mikel Arteta made to his starting line-up, the influence and contributions of Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka, the hour of the game when we probably should have scored more goals, the tension that came with Chelsea's goal, but overall a performance that merited three points for us. We also talk about how bad they were in the context of this game, Aubameyang's sad night, and Lampard's decisions, before taking questions about Jakub Kiwior's performance, Xhaka's mysterious jacket, the decision to allow Charlie Patino to leave, being pragmatic with team selection for these final games, and lots more.

In this episode, we discuss the 2-0 win over Newcastle at St James' Park. There's praise for Arsenal's game management and ability to stand up the home side's physical approach, not least because of the lack of refereeing intervention. We chat about the team selection, the decision to go with Jorginho in midfield, Martin Odegaard's contribution, missed chances, big saves from Aaron Ramsdale, Granit Xhaka's incredible defensive intervention and Spanish swearing, and keeping the pressure on Man City. Then we answer listener questions about Jakub Kiwior, the time-wasting/shithousery aspect of the performance, adding experience to the youthful aspects of the team, Kieran Tierney's impressive cameo, and lots more, including magpie facts.
