Jack's Encyclopaedia: Champions League advancers, Thomas Frank favourites, and the most offsides

The Ehantharajah Empire has bludgeoned its way through the Luke Nation, leaving every member of the public in its wake. Only Luke and the Kingdom of Speller stand in the way of Vish winning the Jack's Encyclopaedia belt and achieving unification. A Boteman-footed Pete has the whistle as these three titans go blow for blow. Who will come out victorious?

The Preview Show: When a Crunchie comes your way

It was a big night for young Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba in the Europa League last night. European debut and a goal to match? Lovely stuff. Unai Emery has said he's prioritising the Premier League, though. So... are Villa on the verge? Luke, Pete, and Vish join Marcus to preview the weekend a packed Prem weekend! Spurs look to continue their great run of results against Manchester City (despite their abysmal league form), Jørgen Strand Larsen flees Wolves' sinking ship, and Adama Traoré gets Tupac on for the weekend.

Today I feel Swiss

What a night for the Swiss model! Just as Anatoliy Trubin was firing in that header we couldn’t help but think: are you not entertained, Vish? Today, Marcus, Jim and Luke gather to round up the closing moments of the Champions League league phase. We also wonder what’s next for Raheem Sterling and try to work out just how good, or bad, Spurs really are.

Mailbag: How should we judge Arne Slot’s second season?

Marcus, Luke and Jim try to have a reasoned discussion about Arne Slot’s reputation after a middling second season and the looming figure of Xabi Alonso - but we keep returning to Marcus’ undying love for gammon. Plus, we long for the return of the purely vibes-based manager, wonder if it’s too late for Harry Wilson to join a bigger club and try to find some aesthetically delightful players who were actually bang average.
