What happened on the final day of the Premier League season?
Coming up on today's show, everywhere I've gone, it's amazing how many Arsenal fans there are in London at the moment. They're coming out of the woodwork. They're everywhere!
No, they deserve it. They've been the best team 20 trophies in 10 years. This style is all over our game now. It's not only in the top tier. When you go down the leagues, right into the National League.
We don't just lump it anymore, Al. Do you want to talk about Sunderland?
How did Arsenal celebrate their long-awaited trophy win?
Give them a few roses? No, I was waiting for that. Bournemouth, Sunderland and Brighton. Who would have picked those three at the start of the season to get into Europe? No one. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before the action starts, a word from Fuse, who makes switching energy supplies easy. To celebrate big moves, we're testing Alan and Micah on the legends of the transfer window. Which Premier League club holds the record for the all-time highest spend transfer window?
We know that.
What were the implications of West Ham's relegation?
We've done that on the pod before. It is Liverpool. I'll go City then. Micah is correct. Of course I'm correct. How much did they spend? And obviously it was last summer.
Yes.
How much? It was like 460 million.
How did Sunderland achieve European qualification?
425 million. You're pretty much in the middle. 446 and a half million quid.
And where... You know... And they're not even in the league. Yeah. Deary me. From big match calls to moving house, smart choices make all the difference. Switch to Fuse Energy and save up to £200 on your energy bills. It takes less than three minutes online.
What were the major surprises in Thomas Tuchel's England squad selection?

Mike has been grafting today, so it's just us two for the last day of the season. There wasn't too much at stake, really. It was all about the relegation fight, wasn't it, between West Ham and Spurs and Spurs... Thankfully for us, former Spurs players and fans did what they had to do. Never really got too edgy. You doing much of the day tonight? Not much jeopardy, Al.
No, I thought Spurs were the better team.
Who were the notable players left out of the England World Cup squad?
I thought Everton were really poor. There was only one opportunity where the keeper made a good save in the last minute or so. But other than that, I know it was really edgy and nervy, but they weren't put under too much pressure, Spurs, because I thought Everton were terrible up front. They offered nothing. as I said other than that last minute but it was a nervy afternoon for them I guess even when even when West Ham scored and then went 1-0 up you could see the fear you know because you know how it works it flicks around the screens on match of the day and you can see people chewing their nails and getting all nervous and what have you but um I think from a Spurs point of view, they were the better team that he deserved to win today.
And yeah, it's been a tough season for them, but they can sort of go ahead and plan again and deserve. He made a brave decision in going there, saying that he would manage them whether they got relegated or not. But yeah, they can go and start again and hopefully never have a season like this again.
Well, I hope not.
What records did Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes achieve this season?
I hope not. Obviously, it's sad for West Ham. Talking about you doing Match of the Day tonight, I've done that show, obviously, for 20-odd years, the last one of the season. It's a long one because you've got 10 matches, so it'll be an hour and 40 minutes. It'll be a late night for you, Al, but I presume, I know we've done it from time to time, we do that thing between matches, but I don't think that'll probably be the case tonight.
No, starting with those two matches, but there's not going to be enough change.
Flip-flopped and stuff like that. You could have done that. But the fact that Tottenham got ahead and then maintained that lead, I think that probably... It's actually an hour and 45 minutes.
We're on at half ten and finish at quarter past midnight.
How did Pep Guardiola's departure impact Manchester City?
So it's a long shift. It's a long day.
Yeah, a bit. It really is. Word on West Ham. I think overall they've rallied under Nuno. They were pretty much written off when he took over.
