Could Nottingham Forest get to Europe & as Edu leaves Arsenal what’s next for Mikel Arteta? Mark Chapman is joined by Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Shay Given as they focus on Forest, who are third in the Premier League table - their highest league position since the early stages of the 98/99 season. They ask where it is going right for the club – especially after the news that Edu has resigned from his Sporting Director role at Arsenal, with multiple reports saying he is to join the network of clubs spearheaded by Evangelos Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest owner.
Attention then turns to Mikel Arteta and what the departure of Edu would mean for him at the club. And the guys look at Manchester City after Pep Guardiola’s side lost to Bournemouth on the weekend – and try and dissect where the issues might be.
And if that wasn’t enough Shay gives the guys an insight into the League of Ireland title race – which was decided on Friday night with Shelbourne winning the league for the first time in 18 years, giving Damien Duff the first trophy of his managerial career… and also how Duff’s side is going from strength to strength even after one of their key players left to go on Love Island!
