Matchday 32 was a ho hum Premier League week while the Champions League semi finals and FA Cup weekend were alright.  Not so fast, on Sunday the big, big news emerged of the European Super League, which swallowed the Spur’s sacking of Mourinho.  We found one person crazy enough to advocate for the ESL, or at least to make a “fair and balanced” conversation.  We unpack the ESL and discuss why Mou was sent packing.

This and more on the pod.

Matchday 27 and the assortment of make-up matches had some emerging story lines.  Are Man United’s tactics validated?  Does Man City need to change things up?  How does Liverpool regain its superpowers?  Leicester finds its mettle even with a quiet Vardy.  Arsenal hits a VAR speed bump with Burnley.  Should Tottenham’s front three be feared?  Finally, we discuss the demise of the park-the-bus teams in the league tables.  Are we entering an expansive football era?
