'Say what you want but leave the mothers out of it!'

Ned Zelic, Craig Moore and Thomas Sorensen join David Weiner for a jam packed edition of the GegenPod with former Socceroos midfielder Zelic making his debut on the show.With Barcelona through to the Champions League final four, the panel assess the La Liga club's prospects of taking out the title, and try imagine an XI that will include Frenkie de Jong next season. This season, however, de Jong is part of the Ajax fairy tale: can they win it, and how have they done it?There is also a detailed discussion about where Manchester United go from here and what Ole Gunner Solskjaer's biggest problems are.Elsewhere, we look at Brighton & Hove Albion's slippery slide into the relegation battle; ask Thomas who is the best goalkeeper on the planet; explore the dramatic rise of Benfica's Joao Felix, plus there's opinions and the usual cracking stories from their own playing days around Diego Costa's eight-game suspension for a foul-mouthed tirade; Joey Barton's latest misdemeanor; the brutal assessment of Thierry Henry's tenure at Monaco by Aleksandr Golovin and fisticuffs at Bayern Munich.Thomas reveals what is was like being on the park the day Lee Bowyer and Kieran Dyer infamously came to blows as teammates for Newcastle United, while we get the latest installment in our GegenPod five-a-side series, with Ned Zelic picking his ultimate teammates collection.
