Listen "Leeds and Leicester relegated on the final day, Villa stride into the Conference League, and Luton's rise up the pyramid continues"
Episode Synopsis
So that's it! The end of this epic Premier League season!
Mike and Myles discuss all the drama of the final day of top-flight football, especially at the bottom, where Leeds and Leicester slid through the relegation trapdoor.
Where did it all go wrong for Leicester? The 2016 Champions find themselves in the Championship next season, just 12 months after finishing 8th. Brendan Rodgers' exit seems too little too late, and financially there's gonna be some adjustment. But how can the Foxes bounce back?
As for Leeds, they've been in decline all season. From Bielsa to Marsch, then Gracia to Allardyce, it's been a mish-mash of management styles and the squad has been equally disjointed. Can they bounce back any time soon?
Aston Villa capped off a remarkable season under Unai Emery with a 7th-place finish after a 2-1 final-day win over Brighton, meaning Conference League football is coming to Villa Park next season. How far they've come since the dark Gerrard days is remarkable - is Emery manager of the season?
And Luton Town will be joining the elite next season after seeing off Coventry on penalties. We'll discuss their achievement, and how they could adapt to yet another step up.
