Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League assist record, leading to a debate about the importance of assists in the modern game. Roy had some strong opinions on whether that should really have been the main focus.

Xabi Alonso is set to take over as Chelsea boss this summer, but are the West London club lucky to land a manager of his calibre?
The FA Cup final also took place, with Manchester City beating Chelsea 1-0. The team discuss the timing of the game and how the competition has been prioritised this season. Is the FA Cup losing its magic?

Gary Neville· Host0:28
[laughs] You know, when Roy, when Roy gets back at 12 o'clock at night and comes in early in the morning, there's only one outcome. [laughs] There's gonna be disruption.
