Summary
Manchester United ended their five year trophy drought by beating Newcastle United in the League Cup final.
We discuss if this is the symbolic start of something good for Erik Ten Hag and his team, and if the League Cup is a minor or major trophy…
In Scotland, Celtic win another League Cup and we ponder if the dominance of Ange Postecoglou’s side will keep on going. Forever.
Tottenham find themselves in the top four after beating a defensively and offensively lacklustre Chelsea 2-0. At this point, the redemption arc for Graham Potter at Chelsea is going to be quite epic if it does come…
We talk for a bit about quite how drastic the collapse in standards at Liverpool has been, and Jon gets very excited about Javi Gracia’s first game, and victory; as Leeds United manager.
Plus, we briefly look at how Paris St Germain will probably win Ligue Un again but probably not the Champions League.
And, even more briefly, we cast our eyes over the last 16 draw for the Europa League, Europe’s second most major, or minor; cup competition.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michael Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey.
