## Resource

Former Premier League defender Nedum Onuoha joins Gabby & Mark on the show following one of the most chaotic weekends of the year so far... How big a coup is Chelsea 's capture of Xabi Alonso and why was he confirmed as a manager not head coach? Is Jose Mourinho still the man to reunite Real Madrid 's fractured dressing room and will Vini Jr forgive him for his comments in the wake of the 'Prestianni incident'? And as we await the outcome of tomorrow's Spygate 2.0 hearing - Will Southampton really be kicked out of the Play-Off Final and would that be a fair punishment? Plus, Mark pays tribute to Aaron Rai after he became the first English golfer to win the US PGA Championship in over a century - with iron covers on his clubs and wearing two gloves. 📩 Got a question?
