This week, the pod is all about receding hairlines. We welcome the Lagos version of a Guy Ritchie protagonist with Tosin (@TousenCollins) of The Sports Podcast, joining Peter & Sam to talk about Arsenal's enduring rot, PSG’s French domination and to make a strong appeal for Zinedine Zidane to coach at his favourite club. There’s some FPL banter, and the guys discover how to define what a “squad player” is.

• Part One: Arteta in danger, Harry Kane’s City soap opera and Ole as Jekyll & Hyde (00:00 - 32:50)
• Part Two: La Liga odds + WWE links, PSG flattening Ligue 1 and wild EPL relegation projections (33:25 - end)

Congratulations to Chelsea for getting a second Champions League trophy. The season finale had the guys hosting two Chelsea fans (@sheyejinkazama & @Ndirpaya) who brought some interesting insight after the final but also turned the episode pretty much upside down, closing the season out with a bang. There were harsh words for Pep Guardiola, props for Ngolo Kante and Samaila’s Ibadan family made a return as well. Some attention was cast on all the empty dugouts across Europe with a debate on two middling English strikers.

• Part One: Pep blunders, Tuchel’s selection, Kante v Gundogan/Sterling v Havertz + a Chelsea shouting match preview (00:00 - 37:40)
  
• Part One Prime: A failed Lampard defence, Tammy Abraham v Dominic Calvert-Lewin, two shouty Chelse fans (38:40 - 43:26)
  
• Part Two: European coaches on the carousel, Pochettino’s Okafor Law chances, Kante the MVP (44:29 - end)
