Joe Mason fired Cardiff into a early lead before Liverpool’s eventual player of the season Martin Skrtel scrambled the ball home to level things up. Despite pressure from Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez, Liverpool couldn’t find the decisive goal, and the game headed to extra time.

Kuyt, man of the match Stewart Downing and Glen Johnson all converted, and with a final miss from Anthony Gerrard, cousin of the Liverpool skipper, the Reds lifted the trophy for a record extending 8th time.

Arsenal scored what might be the most chaotically awful goal of the season to keep their Europa Conference League fire flickering. Jules, Luke and Andy pour scorn over that blaze after some bizarre comments from Mikel Arteta in the post-match. There’s plenty of time for other nonsense elsewhere, as Plymouth’s vaccination queues inadvertently snake towards Argyle’s club shop and Sir Alex Ferguson gives Steven Gerrard some valuable advice. In relocation news, the Champions League final’s off to Porto and there’s murmurs of Frank Lampard arriving late into the Selhurst Park box, slotting his CV in the net.

Musa and Ryan have a lot to get through this week and begin with a roundup of key women’s games around Europe, including the top four all winning in the WSL (02:48) as well as Bayern and Barcelona maintaining 100 percent starts ahead of this week’s Women’s Champions League. It’s then to the Premier League, reflecting on Manchester United’s win over Manchester City in the derby, halting the winning run of Pep Guardiola’s side (17:46), before touching on Fulham’s win over Liverpool and why Jürgen Klopp is still the perfect man to coach at Anfield (27:31). They also round up the rest of the Premier League (35:57) before heading to the Bundesliga, where Bayern came from behind to beat Dortmund (38:06), and then to La Liga where a title race is emerging following a draw in the Madrid derby and a win for Barcelona, before discussing Joan Laporta’s return to the Barcelona presidency (47:44). Finally, there’s props to Steven Gerrard for returning Rangers to the top of Scottish football after their first top-flight title in 10 years (63:32). Learn more about your ad choices.

Jules, Jim and Pete tuck in to another spicy serving of Barclays action, as the relegation zone casts increasingly dark shadows over Newcastle, West Brom and Brighton. Ole Gunnar Solskjær continued his march towards “yeah, he’s decent” status with another win over Pep Guardiola, while Gareth Bale’s sexy man bun propelled him and Spurs to new heights (sixth). Elsewhere, Michael Owen and Neil Warnock have listened to the devils on their respective shoulders, Liverpool lost again and Steven Gerrard slides through some ale on his way to a historic Scottish Premiership title.

Get that man a statue, outside every ground in the country.

You will be surprised and amazed. Features live jingles from the mind, hands and instrument of Pete Donaldson.

David Moyes is back in charge at West Ham as they once again ask him to ferry them to safety! Is anything surprising any more? No, not really. Elsewhere in London, Arsenal and Chelsea played out an energetic game that felt like a victory for Arsenal - despite it being a victory for Chelsea - because they weren’t booed off. Small victories and all that. There was also lots of action in the Championship, Steven Gerrard’s Rangers got one over on Celtic and we chat thrusting, IKEA stadiums and cramp.
