Max Rushden returns once more to wade through the negative feedback along with Barry Glendenning, Philippe Auclair and, making her pod debut, Jacqui Oatley.

Starting with the Premier League, the pod takes in a Manchester revival, an angry Dutchman and wonders how anyone’s found the strength to debate David Luiz’s high boot for his yellow card, or his lower-but-still-high foot for his red.

The conversation moves through Roy Hodgson’s mammoth Palace task to Liverpool’s defensive frailty, and then on to Gareth Barry’s Premier League appearance record, which divides the pod more than anyone could have expected. We cover the Championship, making amends with Jacqui for some hair-trigger Wolves hot-takes earlier in the season, before rounding up the rest of the Football League action.

Sid Lowe calls in from Spain with stories of injury, experimental stands and a new stadium for Atlético Madrid and we round up the rest of the action around the big leagues in Europe, not forgetting to read out some feedback, in a corner.
