Episode notes

Arsenal's roller-coaster season ended on a high note at Wembley on Saturday as they beat Chelsea 2-1 to claim the FA Cup. Will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang now stay at the club? Did Mikel Arteta really have to pay homage to Pep Guardiola after the game? Can Frank Lampard be satisfied with his work this season? We chew over the fallout as the player head off on holiday.

Following their recent relegation, it has been confirmed that Eddie Howe and Bournemouth have parted ways. The 42-year-old performed miracles on the South Coast but has his reputation been tarnished by a poor final campaign and will it affect where he goes next? At the other end of the country, Newcastle's takeover by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is off after they got bored of waiting on the Premier League to make a decision. It's been an emotional time for Newcastle fans, but have they dodged a bullet despite being stuck with Mike Ashley for a while longer?

Elsewhere in football, we discuss the lack of competitiveness in Scotland and, following news Andrea Pirlo has taken over as Juventus' under-23s, we mull over the sexiest men working in football.

After the break, Wogan argues in favour of Lewis Hamilton being England's greatest working sportsman, we dip into the NBA's Disney Bubble where the action has begun and the players are having fun before shaking our head in dismay at the MLB's and NFL's Covid-19 struggles. Enjoy!
