The Weekend Round Up, Moving the Champions League Final & West Ham + Spurs Transfers

In the 4th episode of the podcast we discuss, 

The Weekends Action
Moving The Champions League Final
West Ham + Spurs Transfer Targets

First Henry ran through the scores at the weekend and then the lads discussed the Spurs Vs Leeds game in depth. Both Billy and Henry thought that Leeds were the better team on the day and deserved the 3 - 1 result in their favour. They discussed the Kane goal that was disallowed for being a toe nail offside. In the boys opinion an offside is an offside and that what VAR is for. Imagine if that was a goal given against your own team you would be fuming. Billy mentioned that Spurs again had no plan b and lacked a lot of creativity in the centre of the park. Henry agreed and mentioned that Spurs were not there mentally and are mentally weak as side, something Billy agreed with. Spurs have been very inconsistent and they both felt it was down to this mental weakness. 

The lads then discussed the City and Chelsea game, saying that they felt Chelsea have the edge over City and these mind games could be a huge factor in the Champions League Final. Henry went on to talk about how disappointed he was with his side in their 1-0 defeat to Everton. Claiming they were poor and never looked like winning the game after DLC scored. Everton he thought deserved the win and he now felt that top four would be too much to ask for. 

The lads then discussed moving the Champions League final to London from Turkey. As currently you can not travel to Turkey from the UK due the the COVID restrictions. They both agreed that the government and UEFA should move the final and allow fans back in to watch it as they both felt fans would travel to Turkey even if they could not get in the ground. 

Lastly the lads spoke about the signings they would make if they could buy 5 realistic transfers this summer. Henry throwing some curve balls in their with his picks, signing a certain lethal EFL Championship striker (no not Toney). Billy also gave his thoughts on who Spurs should sign and sell, he listed a lot of sellers and Henry allowed him to have 6 picks instead of the 5. He still probably needed more given he wanted to sell the vast majority of the squad. 

The boys then mentioned some new content they would be doing in the coming weeks including a club legend flashback episode for each side. They both will pick a player they love form their clubs and ideally who they have seen play.
