Bellingham for Ballon d'Or | Forest's classless tweet: 'I hope they go down!' | Bridgey fills a teammate's car with fish guts!

We are back for another ripper episode of the Optus Sport Football Podcast, and this week Mark Schwarzer and Phil Kitromilides have Michael Bridges along for the ride!


The lads discuss:

  • Why Bridgey filled a teammate's car with fish guts that he rang in as a favour!
  • The 'classless' tweet from Nottingham Forest and why one of our panel think on that basis alone, he hopes they go down!
  • Mark on why he could possibly be happy for Coventry City that they failed to make the FA Cup Final.
  • How Bridgey was robbed of the Premier League Golden Boot because of one teammate pulling rank.
  • A classic, El Clasico! Phil gives a full wrap on the match that stops Spain and the lads wax lyrical on just how good this young Englishman Jude Bellingham is!
