'Stupid and disgraceful' Jackson costs Chelsea | Trent Alexander-Arnold: the view from Madrid | Ange reaches the Europa League Final
05/12/25 • 37 min
Phil Kitromilides and Julien Laurens brought their shooting boots for this one - much to Juls' frustration - as they dissect a weekend of Premier League action that saw twists in the race for Europe, owners storming the pitch, and Trent Alexander-Arnold getting booed by Liverpool fans.
Juls also reflects on the ‘incredible’ Sonia Bompastor leading Chelsea to an unbeaten WSL title, and the guys discuss Ange making history by reaching the Europa League final.
And Juls shares the story of how he ended up watching El Clásico on a train with Jack Grealish!
