The Preview Show: B&Q Toilet Paper

Communicado Official: Antonio Gordón

It’s official: Anthony Gordon has activated his Spring in Your World Cup Step™ by officially joining Barcelona. He even spoke admirable Spanish at the press conference! Presumably he knows the Spanish for A LITTLE DISLOYAL RAT. Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish wish Gordon farewell and also celebrate James Milner’s remarkable career after he announced his retirement. Plus, the gigachads at Real Madrid look to have done the unthinkable: José Mourinho is set to become their next manager. I’ll say that again, in the year of our lord 2026: José Mourinho looks set to manage Real Madrid again, thirteen years after he left the first time.

The curtain falls

With that, the 25/26 domestic season is over. However, before you get gripped by World Cup fever, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish have the small matter of the Champions League final to mull over. We credit Arsenal for taking PSG to the brink. Luke has less time for stuttered penalties - not in a World Cup year. Plus, we discuss the somewhat confusing legacy of Arne Slot after it was announced that he is leaving Liverpool.

THE MY BIDDY AUNT FINALE

The swords have been drawn. The cannons are loaded. It all comes down to this. What we do in the My Biddy Aunt finale will echo into eternity. It’s the Luke Nation versus the Ehantharajah Empire for the final time this season, to see who will take the crown. Marcus has the whistle for this deciding bout.

The Preview Show: B&Q Toilet Paper

What's that rumbling noise I can hear? Ah, yes. The unmistakeable sound of Jim Campbell trembling in his boots at the very thought of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia charging at the Arsenal defence. Oh, wait. No it isn't. That's just the sound of Pete's stomach screaming as he attempts to drink jellied meerkats from a glass. They both join Marcus to preview Arsenal's date with destiny. Is a PSG win really as inevitable as we all think? Plus, Steve Clarke's reign as Scotland manager is extended, and FIFA cover up an mural in Dallas reminding the public about the importance of marine conversation. Excuse the pun - is it even possible for them to sink any deeper?

Wait, are we the bad guys?

Oh, what’s that, Rayo Vallecano? A romantic, scarcely believable journey to a final of a European competition– WELL GET SOME PREMIER LEAGUE RICHES AROUND YA CHOPS, YOU SLUGS. Marcus and Luke celebrate a joyous Conference League trophy for Crystal Palace that caps off Oliver Glasner’s remarkable tenure. Plus, Anthony Gordon’s off on a European gap year and a listener brings us a long-overdue Australian speed skating update. Getting in the World Cup fever?
