The Commentators’ View: Ian’s mad dash & leaping like a salmon

John Murray, Ian Dennis & Ali Bruce-Ball talk football, travel & language. They reflect on two finals in a week as Tottenham win the Europa League and Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup. ‘Herr Chapman’ nearly gets a soaking at Wembley. Ali tells all about the last men’s game at Goodison. Will John’s losing run in Clash of the Commentators come to an end? And which terms will be added or removed from the Great Glossary of Football Commentary?
