Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ - for our Weekend Preview show. 

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

We kick off by discussing the latest Jose Mourinho antics, after the Fenerbahce manager appeared to pinch the nose of the opposition gaffer. Is he desperately trying to claw back some relevance after a few years out of the limelight he seems to crave?

Dom lambasts VAR official, Paul Tierney, for his decision not to recommend the referee in the Merseyside Derby to look at the monitor after James Tarkowski’s ‘coward’s tackle’ on Alexis Mac Allister. Dom slams the decision as ‘scandalous’.

And we question what’s next for Spurs, as their managerial merry-go-round could well take another turn this summer.
