STOP PRESS: Steff, Milo, Gareth and Ricky convene for an emergency pod to welcome Nuno Espirito Santo as our new manager, discuss the appointment from several angles AND determine that Jorges Mendes is all Scribes and less Faces.

Saved from the cutting room floor, earlier this season Steff, Milo, Ram and Ricky had a chat about some players who played for both Spurs and Everton.

Steff, Ricky, Ram and Milo answer General Levy's call and sit down to judge who stays and is expendable from our first team squad.

In our second monthly review, we take a look back at the month of March and take a more considered view of how it went. The regular pods are an immediate reaction to a game.
