Why the "Premier League disaster" narrative doesn't really make sense, plus some capsule summaries of the eight matches and why there was not that much to learn from the second legs. City-Real and Chelsea-PSG matches were over too early, Liverpool and Arsenal held serve at home, Bayern continued walking, why would anyone have expected more than this from Tottenham, and Barcelona-Newcastle was a fascinating watch with more to discuss but not necessarily representative of any larger dynamics.&n...

Rog and Rory Smith went live right after the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matches to discuss if Liverpool’s thrashing of Galatasaray can be a catalyst for the rest of the season. Plus, Tottenham’s defiant win against Atletico Madrid, and Newcastle’s pummeling at the hands of classy Barcelona. Then, Rog and Rory take listener calls and talk about Manchester City’s exit at the hands of Real Madrid, and whether Arsenal fans would prefer to win a trophy or have Tottenham relegated.

European Nights returns as Rog and Rory Smith break down a dramatic week across the Champions League and Europa League. They begin with Real Madrid’s commanding first-leg win over Manchester City, where Federico Valverde’s stunning hat trick exposed Pep Guardiola’s bold tactical gamble.

The two then look ahead to the decisive second legs across the continent. Plus, the remarkable rise of Bodo/Glimt and one Europa League tie to watch.

On The Fan View James is joined by the FPL Community's favourite Mum and son duo, Gemma and Harrison Eno to discuss serious concerns at their club, West Bromwich Albion, who are in real danger of relegation at League One. Manager Eric Ramsey was sacked after only nine winless games on Tuesday night, an inexperienced appointment that followed another unsuccessful and inexperienced appointment in Ryan Mason. Could they now stick with more inexperience in caretaker and firmer player James Morrison? The Baggies are in competition with several other former Premier League sides to stay in the division, including Leicester City, who won the Premier League only 10 years ago. Like Leicester, Albion's financial woes in part explain why they are in such peril, but how did it get into such a mess and who's to blame at a club where the ambition should be to be in the Premier League? That dream however seems a distant one for now...

We had a goofy final day of the Champions League and a few thoughts on Benfica and Real Madrid and the joy of whiparound soccer. And then we get into Caley's new study on The Set Piece Revolution and the evidence that the game-changing insights here are mostly just chucking it into the mixer and crowding the keeper. We disagree(!) about some likely responses and we discuss what is likely to come next as set piece thought continues to spread. Read the full study: https://www.expectinggoals.com...
