  • Pressing Matters Classics: Wigan 5-3 Blackburn 07/08
    Jun 7 2026

    In late 2007, Fabio Capello became England Manager, a global recession dawned, and smoking was banned in public spaces, but it wasn't all doom and gloom as an 8-goal thriller played out at the JJB Stadium.


    Join Toby and Luke as we rewatch this classic Premier League fixture between Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers. Unforgettable names such as Emile Heskey, Benni McCarthy, and Emmerson Boyce star in this game that Sky Sports called "amazing" and the Guardian described "as if these sides forgot they were playing in the Premier League".

    We wrap up the 25/26 Premier League season by looking back at our predictions from before the season began. Who overperformed our expectations, what mistakes did we make, and did we predict that Spurs would finish 17th?


    Paris Saint-Germain also won the Champions' League by beating Arsenal on penalties; Gabriel and Eze missing the crucial penalties. We give our thoughts on the game and what it means for Arsenal.


    Finally we talk about Arne Slot as it's announced that he will leave Liverpool, with Andoni Iraola being hotly rumoured to be the next manager.
