There's a positive twist in the Oak's relegation crisis as Paul shares the good news that the club's points deduction has been reduced. They're now only one point away from safety, thanks to a successful call with the Imperial League's Mick Merchant.
You know what this means... Presentation Night is back on! Spoiler alert if you're an Oak player, as they reveal the winners of the illustrious trophies Paul has sourced - it's practically the Ballon d'Or.
And there's further good news, Wynney looks poised to make a full recovery after a recent accident. Could this be the beginning of a long road back for him and Steve?
In a bumper week for the Premier League, two thirds of the Royal Oak management congratulate Arsenal on their title win and with Pep Guardiola set to leave Manchester City, Steve admits that maybe Pep's actually quite good at what he does...
They also cover Celtic's dramatic victory over Hearts as Martin O'Neill's side secured the Scottish Premiership title, Man City's FA Cup triumph over Chelsea at Wembley and Ian Beale look-a-like Bob the Bucket shares his favourite soaps.
Tune in to a live Premier League watchalong of the final day of the season, exclusively on the Game's Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast YouTube channel - Join Steve, Paul and Bob from 4pm BST on the 24th May as they react to all the action as it unfolds: youtube.com/live/NPblP3Q4CCc

Game’s Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast is written and performed by Chris McClure and is a Persephonica production for BBC Sounds
Background
Royal Oak FC was founded in 1997 in the back room of the Royal Oak pub by Steve Bracknall and Paul Sampson.
Despite decades of effort, the team still fights for survival in the fifth tier of the Sheffield Sunday Imperial League. When a viral clip catapulted Steve to fame in 2024, the BBC came calling - and Game’s Gone was born.
Meet The Hosts
Steve Bracknall
Assistant manager at Royal Oak FC, Steve Bracknall is to many the lifeblood of the club. Having agreed to front the club in terms of marketing and PR, Steve is the link between the fans and the club. No one cares about the Oak like Steve. Loving husband to Our Nikki and doting father to Our Olivia, come Sunday Steve is transformed into a passionate assistant who would literally die for the cause. He cites man management as his strong point.
Paul Sampson
First team manager and lifelong friend of Steve Bracknall. Paul originally formed the club with Steve. In recent years his commitment to the club has come under scrutiny especially after buying a timeshare in Tenerife and going on multiple golfing trips mid-season leaving Steve to hold the fort. He still has the final say over any tactical decisions that are made much to the annoyance of Steve.
Bob the Bucket
Club physio and general caretaker Bob the Bucket has been with the club for over ten years. No one really knows why and when he joined but he did. General job roles include putting up nets, filling water bottles alongside prevention and rehab of all Oak players.
