Haaland 'a League Two player' in title-decider fizzer! | Is De Zerbi off to Liverpool? | Ange & Spurs to miss Top 4! | Xavi to remain at Barca?

WE didn't say that about Erling Haaland... promise! But you bet we debated it, and there was plenty more hearty discussion this week as Mark Schwarzer was joined by journalist Phil Kitromilides and former Leeds United striker Michael Bridges who dropped his moving boxes to put a rule across the weekend of football, including:

  • An alleged 'title-deciding' match that didn't reach the heights we hoped for!
  • Does Erling Haaland do enough with his vast array of skills, or is he doing exactly what he is supposed to, in his role for City?
  • How good has Alexis Mac Allister been for Liverpool?
  • Spurs win again - and come from behind to do it, AGAIN! What does Ange say at halftime...and why doesn't he say that same thing BEFORE the match?!
  • Can Tottenham make the top four? One of our pundits says a resounding NO - and he's a Spurs fan!
