Max Rushden is joined by Philippe Auclair, Jonathan Wilson and Simon Burnton to look back at the last few days in football.
Starting with the midweek Premier League fixtures, we talk about the relative chances of Andy Carroll, Peter Crouch and Joe Hart making the England squad, and preview Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final while talking about both Manchester United and Tottenham’s tests on the south coast.
We discuss the PFA Team of the Year, but not before looking forward to the second semi-final between Southampton and Chelsea, along with the league games they play before then. We round up the Football League action before looking forward to the big games on the weekend – Wolves going for the title while West Brom desperately try to avoid the drop.
And finally, we take a look at happenings across Europe, where a VAR decision interrupted a half-time break in Germany, and Internazionale took brand synergies to a whole new level.
Back on Monday!
