Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, John Brewin and Lars Sivertsen to look back at the weekend that was, starting with Arsène Wenger’s final trip to Old Trafford as Arsenal manager.

We look at Manchester City’s record-equalling win at West Ham, with two former title winners giving the champions a guard of honour before and, apparently, during the game. We look forward to Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final second leg in Rome, which follows their drab goalless draw against Stoke.

Starting part two with the teams in the bottom half of the table who won, we discuss Crystal Palace’s miraculous turnaround after their pointless start to the season, and whether West Brom missed their chance for survival by keeping Alan Pardew on post-Barcelonagate.

Barry tries to stay upbeat while he talks about Sunderland during our Football League round-up, then hails Celtic’s seventh league title in a row in Fitba Corner.

We talk to Paolo Bandini about the death of the Serie A title race, Sid Lowe’s in Spain to tell us about Barcelona’s latest trophy win and to look forward to Real Madrid’s meeting with Bayern Munich – a game Archie Rhind-Tutt starts with in his report from a noisy Cologne kebab shop.

Back on Thursday!
