We look back at the last few days in football, starting with Derby County becoming the first team in Championship play-off history to get to the final having lost the first leg at home. There they’ll meet Aston Villa, pitching Frank Lampard and John Terry against each other in their bid to reach the Premier League.
As Tranmere made their way to the League One play-off final, Mike Dean made an appearance atop the railings at Forest Green Rovers, which was at the same time surprising, and yet the least surprising thing that happened this week.
Paolo brings us up to date with the happenings in Italy, namely the Coppa Italia final, Serie A’s inaction in the Moise Kean racist incident and the story of Atalanta, a club punching well above their weight.
In part three, we look ahead to the FA Cup final, discuss the latest happenings at Manchester City and the amusing fan-made banners which greeted Chris Coleman at his final game before being sacked by Hebei China Fortune.
Back on Monday! Hopefully with comments.
