Today: Manchester City’s fifth title in six years inches ever closer as they beat West Ham 3-0. In a game that saw Erling Haaland break the record for goals in a Premier League season, the panel ask – is he in danger of completing football at 22 years old?
Elsewhere, Liverpool’s upturn in form continues and we preview the weekend’s Premier League games – which is mostly an excuse to keep talking about Sam Allardyce, who takes his Leeds team to the Etihad on Saturday.
Simon joins us to discuss his decision not to renew his Watford season ticket – you can read his piece on the subject here – and we weigh up Jude Bellingham’s likely move to Real Madrid.
Finally, one listener’s memories of his father and raising mental health awareness in a poignant letter.
