We saw some barbs thrown from both sides in the capital this weekend. Plus, what's gone wrong for the league's bottom three sides?

The gap in the CPL Shield race remains two points after a draw between Atlético Ottawa and Forge, but there's still a lot to talk about after a box office battle between the top two sides.

On this week's Newsroom, Charlie O'Connor-Clarke breaks down a postmatch war of the words, Mitchell Tierney praises Forge's depth, and Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic gives credit to Ottawa's youth.

Plus, the gang looked back at the three teams currently outside the playoff picture, and pondered what's gone wrong for each of Pacific, Valour and Vancouver FC. And with Cavalry and Halifax both clinching playoff spots, what has gone right for those sides?

All that and more on this week's show, available in full here or in audio format, with segments released daily on YouTube.
