Pep Guardiola's future

I'm reading a lot into those celebrations as well. He's just gone a season without winning a trophy. For him, that's a lifetime. I think this is a massive victory for Manchester City for so many reasons.

Max Rushton

Arsenal goalkeeper selection

If you're in a cup final that's that important, you have to play your number one goalkeeper. I don't think he [Kepa] has any business playing in a cup final.

Jadon Sancho's form at Aston Villa

Emery is the master at reviving and turning over players that other people have given up on. And if he's getting a tune out of Sancho, then he really is a genius.

Dan Bardell

Liverpool's poor season

No one would have seen that coming at the start of the season. They were so astute with what they did last season, winning games, and they never really looked in any trouble at all. This season, every time I've watched them, by and large, they've looked in trouble.

Seb Hutchinson

Newcastle United performance

Newcastle's season has just been bizarre the whole way. I'm not sure when you've had the kind of outlay that they've had in the summer and you've probably made your team worse that you can come up and pedal the PSR excuse.

Carabao Cup Final Analysis

City just pressed, kept Arsenal where they wanted to be, and in matches like that between top teams, it comes down to a mistake. City seized on that mistake, then built on that mistake.

Seb Hutchinson

Tottenham tactical inconsistency

It beggars belief that you would take away something that was one of the best things about your team against a high-level side in Atleti in the Champions League and then not do that same thing again.

Seb Hutchinson

Tyne-Wear Derby

Sunderland will still be talking about this because they are on an 11-game unbeaten run against Newcastle now, which is just astonishing when you think about it.

John Bruin

Tottenham Hotspur crisis

Spurs are just the strangest football club that's ever existed.

Dan Bardell

David Moyes' management style

David Moyes is one of those coaches that is mischaracterized as sort of the last of the dinosaurs, but actually is a very progressive coach in his own way.
