Summary: Two more fantastic broadcasters join this weekly edition to discuss two very important developments in football, starting first in the Premier League with Robbie Earle of NBC Sports to break down the arrival of Liverpool as the firm front runner for its first title in more than two decades and Owen Neilson to explore two Milan giants with huge questions of their respective managers and a soon-arriving Derby della Madonnina determining Europa League ambitions surprisingly on the the line. We begin nowhere else but at Anfield where a hugely important and emotional battle was waged between Liverpool and Manchester City, putting Liverpool in the seat of destiny and dropping the last four weeks into a pitched battle for supremacy. Robbie Earle helps us examine the background factors working for Brendan Rodgers and why he was successful in uniting a football club so divided in recent years and how he has been able to bring all parts of the club together in a remarkable season, no matter its outcome. We also explore the job turned in by Manuel Pelligrini and Manchester City in year one and dig deeper into an area of concern that emerged this season as a combination of injuries and subtle changes reveal a new crack in the design and may force Pelligrini a rethink in the offseason. Also discussed is the remarkable job turned in by Roberto Martinez whether he reaches top four or not in his first season and we also explore how he has built upon the strengths left behind and how both of the managers on Merseyside might just be pathfinders for other clubs seeking to turn a new page toward progressive managers with new ideas and open philosophies. In part two Owen Neilsen returns from Milan to discuss the biggest stories of the day starting with a bizarre escalating personal display by Inter striker Mauro Icardi that continues to spill into the sports pages and rumor columns amid further outrage and Twitter displays with the estranged wife of Sampdoria striker Maxi Lopez. The misery does not end there for Milanese football as two Italian giants have been left with huge managerial questions this offseason and a Europa League slot on the line with a huge Derby now in the cards. Also discussed is Antonio Conte and his demonstrative spells on the touchline, perhaps some pressure to win this Europa League title at Juventus Stadium, and how a successful spell at Udinese under Francesco Guidolin may have finally come to an end.
