Stel and Rhodri Giggs are joined by Louis Costa and Chig from the Gooner Eagle Eye show to review the weekend's Premier League games and other football news from around Europe.

With the Premier League title race seemingly wrapped up, we delve into where it has gone wrong for Manchester City and Liverpool's upward trajectory under Klopp, which segues us into a long discussion about youth academies and how certain clubs use theirs to generate extra revenue.

Iheanacho's winner for Leicester against Everton is our next topic as Chig talks about the Nigerian striker's career thus far.

Rhod believes Everton need to give Marco Silva time, whilst Chig shares his thoughts on when and where it went wrong for Unai Emery.

More questions are asked about Arsenal and Man Utd after both draw 2-2 against promoted sides, and Louis tells us what he thinks of Jose Mourinho's start as Spurs boss.

There's another debate about racism in Italy, plus a Bundesliga and Euro2020 draw recap.

All this plus EUROTRASH (not the Channel 4 show, Louis!).

Give Chig's YouTube show a sub!

Mourinho's victorious first game in charge as Spurs head coach is next on the list, as the team share their opinions on how good/bad the Special One will do.

There are post postmortems for Arsenal/Emery and Everton/Silva, and more love for Lampard.

This week, Stel and Rhodri Giggs are joined by Richard Amofa, Dubul Dee and Coach Kojo to go over the big results and talking points from the Premier League, Europe and the rest of the world.

 

 Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Manchester City is the main topic of discussion as the panel delve into refereeing decisions, Guardiola’s antics off the pitch and the game itself (one would think).

 

 Leicester’s great form continues after their 2-0 win over Arsenal, so it’s only right we try (again) to figure out what’s going wrong under Unai Emery.

 

 Chelsea’s style of play and the rise of Reece James is our next topic of discussion, followed by more love shown to Sheffield United and a positive outlook on Ole’s United.

 

 There’s some Bundesliga talk, a review of Seattle Sounder’s historic MLS Cup victory and Dubul Dee shows us he knows a thing or two about the Cypriot league.

 

 EUROTRASH is our final segment that’s dominated by Star Wars.
