Jose Mourinho to calm the chaos at the Bernabeu?

Real Madrid's shambolic season has featured Tchouaméni and Valverde fined for scrapping, Xabi Alonso sacked, a underwhelming caretaker spell from Alvaro Arbeloa, fans booing the players, no trophies, and a distant second place finish - so naturally the man to bring order to the chaos is...Jose Mourinho?

Leicester Relegated, Ownership Under Fire & Ronaldinho on Netflix

Football club ownership has come under intense scrutiny this season. From Manchester United’s staff cuts to Tottenham flirting with relegation, does failure always start at the top and trickle down? Elsewhere, Leicester City have been relegated to League One just ten years after their remarkable Premier League triumph. The guys revisit the role of ownership and ask how much of the club’s decline can be traced back to the tragic death of Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Gary, Alan and Micah also turn their attention to the new Ronaldinho Netflix series, debating his legacy and whether he truly matched up to fellow Brazilian great Ronaldo Nazário.

Liam Rosenior Sacked!

Was it a case of damned if he did, damned if he didn’t for Liam Rosenior at Chelsea? Did the problems start with the ownership, and was he ultimately doomed from the off? Or was he simply too inexperienced to manage a top-six Premier League dressing room? Gary and Alan analyse the sacking of Liam Rosenior, looking at where things broke down and the deeper financial problems surrounding Chelsea. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Eden Hazard: The Moments That Made Them

Eden Hazard vs Mo Salah: Who’s the better footballer? Was Hazard the greatest dribbler the Premier League has ever seen? And should he have achieved more in his career? We look back at the career of one of the Premier League’s most electrifying and easy-on-the-eye players. From dazzling defenders to dominating at his peak, Eden Hazard had it all… but did his laid-back approach ultimately hold him back from true all-time greatness?

Man City Down Arsenal: The Race Is On

Manchester City edge Arsenal at the Etihad to move within three points, with a game in hand. Mikel Arteta tweaked his tactics to be more on the front foot, but is it too little, too late? Pep Guardiola and City, on the other hand, now look to be in the driving seat, with a very real chance of securing another treble. Elsewhere, the race for European football is tighter than ever, with just three points separating 6th and 12th. Who will secure a place in Europe next season? At the bottom, there was late heartbreak for Spurs as Brighton snatched an equaliser in the dying seconds, leaving Tottenham favourites to go down. Serious questions remain about Spurs’ game management at 2–1. What does Roberto De Zerbi need to do to guide them to safety, and does he have enough time?

Does The Champions League Put The Premier League To Shame?

We saw some thrilling football in the Champions League this week and it was mostly from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, PSG and Barcelona so why do the English teams look so sluggish by comparison? Or does Arsenal's safe passage to the semi-finals and six-point lead at the top of the Premier League prove that Arteta's conservative approach is still paying off? Liverpool are out of the Champions League and looking at a season of relative failure, what now for Arne Slot and will they have to spend big in the summer again? And what about the big game on Sunday - will a victory for Manchester City prove fatal to the Gunners' title hopes? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.
