About this episode

Gary and Alan break down a dramatic final day of the Premier League season. West Ham tried their best to survive by beating Leeds 3-0, but it wasn't enough as Tottenham beat Everton to avoid relegation on the final day. So the Hammers are down for the first time in 14 years. Arsenal finally got their hands on the trophy after 22 years, with a record 19 goals from corners and 19 clean sheets. They covered Pep Guardiola's emotional final goodbye at City, Mohamed Salah's record-breaking Liverpool farewell, and Bruno Fernandes making assists history. And then there's Sunderland. Back in the top flight for one season and now heading to Europe for the first time in 53 years. Thomas Tuchel named his England World Cup squad. Cole Palmer, Jarrod Bowen, Morgan Gibbs-White, Phil Foden and Harry Maguire all left out. Gary and Alan talk through the big calls and pick who they would have taken instead.
