After a not so nail biting title race, Liverpool have been crowned Champions of England for the 20th time. Ian and Chris delve into what made Arne Slot’s side so effective, and look ahead to how they can kick on. Have they taken Manchester United’s title as the country’s most elite side?

Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’
On today’s episode, Ian amends an error that sharp-eared fans would’ve picked up on in Monday’s episode… with even Producer Henry catching strays.

We kick off by praising Arsenal’s two-legged dominance over Real Madrid, singling out Declan Rice for his immense contributions. Is this where the fun ends for Mikel Arteta’s side, or does Munich glory await them?

Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’

Chris’ schedule prohibits his involvement this week, so we’ve once again drafted in the services of Dominic King.
