On today’s Football Weekly Extra, AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, James Horncastle and Gregg Bakowski in perhaps the most anti-climactic final weekend of a Premier League season ever. There’s only one bit of business left to solve - and it’s not whether Leicester or Bournemouth will pip West Brom for eighth.

Nope, it’s the small matter of winning the Wenger Cup. Only two of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal will finish in the Champions League slots. Will Liverpool slip up at home to Middlesbrough? Can City balls it up at Watford for Walter Mazzarri’s valedictory game? And can Arsenal take advantage of these two most highly unlikely scenarios? Exactly.

Next up, we look ahead to the playoff finals in both the Championship and League One.

Finally, Gregg tells us more about his encounters with David Dunn, and fills us in on the state of play in Ligue 2.

Max Rushden’s in the hot seat on Monday. We’ll see you then.
