On today’s pod: Arsenal are two wins from the title after a dramatic late VAR call denies West Ham an injury-time equaliser. Was Pablo fouling David Raya? Were Arsenal lucky, or did Chris Kavanagh get the biggest VAR call of the season right? The panel ask whether Arsenal have simply been hoisted by their own set-piece petard, and how many replays are too many replays?

Elsewhere, Manchester City keep the pressure on with a 3-0 win over Brentford, while Liverpool fans boo Arne Slot after another frustrating draw against Chelsea. Bournemouth continue their unlikely push for a Champions League place, Brighton bounce back emphatically, and Spurs’ survival hopes remain alive ahead of Leeds away.

Plus: advantage Celtic after the Old Firm, Championship play-off Spygate 2.0 as Southampton are charged over alleged playoff spying, Rochdale’s dramatic return to the EFL, the Women’s FA Cup semi-finals, and Philippe questions the kick-out Kylian Mbappé petition, which has been gathering pace.
