The Optus Sport Football Podcast
Sports:Football
Mark and Phil are joined by Bridgey who manages to stay awake for the duration of the podcast, despite his battles with jet lag.
The guys ask whether Real Madrid's demolition of Girona means the LALIGA title race is over, whilst the future looks 'really, really grim' for Barcelona.
It was also a busy weekend of action in the Premier League as Arsenal backed up their title credentials and Manchester United look to have turned a corner.
Bridgey also gives Phil both barrels over the idea of blue cards being introduced...before he realises it wasn't actually Phil's idea.
