The Rest Is Football

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.

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 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?

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?

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.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo the greatest player to ever grace the Premier League? How did he transform his game from a flashy, unpredictable winger into one of football’s most lethal number nines? And to what extent did his iconic rivalry with Lionel Messi drive him to reach unprecedented heights? Gary, Alan & Micah look back at Cristiano Ronaldo’s short but unforgettable Premier League career. From his early days as a skinny winger, to becoming a relentless, goal-per-game machine across Europe, and one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

Real Madrid were booed off at the Bernabéu on Friday night, and not for the first time this season, after they failed to beat Girona in a 1-1 draw. Gary and Alex look at what this latest setback means for Alvaro Arbeloa's chances of remaining in charge next season, and whether they have any hope of going to Munich and overturning the 2-1 deficit against Bayern. Barcelona went nine points clear at the top after a 4-1 win over Espanyol, with Hansi Flick taking no chances and playing Lamine Yamal and Pedri for 90 minutes despite the Champions League second leg with Atletico Madrid to come in the week. Will Barca have enough firepower to score the three they need or will that leaky defence prove costly in the Metropolitano?

After Arsenal’s setback against Bournemouth, there are questions about their mentality, what mindset do they need to carry them over the line in the Premier League title race? Should they embrace the pressure rather than shy away from it? Meanwhile, Manchester City’s experience in high-stakes run-ins could prove decisive. Having been there and done it before, does their winning know-how give them the edge as the season reaches its climax? At the other end of the table Spurs have slipped into the relegation zone for the first time this season, raising serious concerns. Can Roberto De Zerbi implement his philosophy quickly enough to turn things around, or is time already running out in the fight for survival? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

PSG dismantled Liverpool at the Parc des Princes and were unlucky not to score even more. Did Arne Slot get it wrong with a back five, or are PSG simply on another level? Elsewhere in Madrid, a brilliant performance from Michael Olise helped Bayern Munich take a crucial lead back to Munich. Another goal for Harry Kane brings his tally to 49 for the season, could he become the first English Ballon d’Or winner since Michael Owen? Gary, Alan and Micah also look ahead to a pivotal week for Arsenal. Despite an unconvincing performance against Sporting, they got the win, but can they carry that momentum into the weekend against Bournemouth and get their season back on track?

Could Harry Kane return to the Premier League and break Alan’s all-time scoring record? Is he already England’s greatest-ever striker? And could he become the first England captain since Bobby Moore to lift the World Cup?

Barcelona move seven points clear at the top of La Liga after coming from behind to beat Atlético Madrid. Marcus Rashford returned to the starting lineup following Raphinha’s injury and capped off an impressive display with a goal, if he maintains this form, is he a shoo-in for England’s left side this summer? Real Madrid, meanwhile, suffered a shock defeat to relegation-threatened Mallorca. Why do Los Blancos continue to struggle in the league while consistently delivering in the Champions League? And if they fall to Bayern Munich, could Álvaro Arbeloa find himself under serious pressure before the season’s end? Elsewhere, Gary and Alex discuss the remarkable performance from Lamine Yamal. Despite shining, he left the pitch frustrated at not getting on the scoresheet, does that mindset show he has the drive to become one of the all-time greats?

Arsenal’s FA Cup exit, coming just two weeks after their Carabao Cup disappointment, leaves their season at a crossroads. With two trophies already gone, could Mikel Arteta’s side really finish the campaign without silverware, and should there be growing concern at the Emirates? Meanwhile, Manchester City delivered arguably their performance of the season in a statement win over Liverpool. Are Pep Guardiola’s men hitting top form at exactly the right moment, and does the result leave Arne Slot under pressure? Elsewhere, Chelsea ran riot with seven against Port Vale, but does the scoreline paper over the cracks? With Enzo Fernández handed a two-game ban, is Liam Rosenior attempting to assert control in the dressing room?

Alan Shearer goes head-to-head with Micah Richards in our latest quiz challenge, putting their football knowledge to the test with a round on World Cup Golden Boot winners. Will Alan’s wealth of experience on the biggest stage give him the edge, or can Micah snatch another victory and get back to winning ways. Beyond the quiz, the conversation turns to the international break. Are Thomas Tuchel’s side becoming too dependent on Harry Kane for goals? Do the last two matches raise any real concerns, or are they just part of the bigger picture as the tournament approaches? And with squad selection looming, which players have done enough to secure their place, and who may have played themselves out of contention? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Could there really be a world where Jude Bellingham doesn’t start for England at the World Cup this summer? With Thomas Tuchel favouring Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role so far, is Bellingham facing a place on the bench? There are also big questions up front. Who steps in as backup to Harry Kane? Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke were both given opportunities against Uruguay but failed to impress, while Ollie Watkins hasn’t quite hit top form this season. Does this point to a wider decline in traditional number nines in the English game? Plus, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards pick their World Cup favourites and assess where England really stand among the contenders. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

What was it really like playing under Jürgen Klopp during that era-defining rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City? What kind of manager was he behind the scenes? How difficult was it to keep his place at Manchester City when big-money signings in his position arrived summer after summer? What were Alan Shearer and Micah Richards really like as teammates? Gary is joined by the most capped Premier League player ever, James Milner. From becoming the league’s youngest-ever goalscorer at the time to still playing in the Premier League in his 40s, he shares memories of playing alongside David Silva at Manchester City, his special bond with close friend Diogo Jota, and the mentality that kept him at the elite level for decades.

Gary Alan and Micah dive into the Premier League career of one of the game’s all time great creators.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was dropped for the Madrid derby after reportedly being late for training, but he came off the bench to assist Vinicius Jr's winner and go some way to again proving his doubters wrong just a few days after he wasn't named in Thomas Tuchel's 35-man England squad. Gary and Alex react to a brilliant game in the Bernabeu as Vini Jr's brace and another goal from Fede Valverde secured a crucial 3-2 victory. Watch out for another golazo from Atletico's Nahuel Molina. Barcelona were below their best in a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, relying on a string of saves from goalkeeper Joan Garcia to hold onto the three points and remain top of La Liga.

Mikel Arteta also finds himself under the spotlight. Should he have trusted his first-choice goalkeeper? Did his team selection, particularly at left back, cost Arsenal? And is this side too cautious when it matters most? Gary, Alan and Micah also break down the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, including Sunderland’s big win in the Tyne-Wear derby.

Newcastle went to the Nou Camp with realistic hopes of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals but in a game that was 2-2 until the stroke of half-time Barcelona went through the gears and ended up embarrassing the Toon Army 7-2 on the night. What did Hansi Flick do at the break to outwit Eddie Howe? Elsewhere, Liverpool and Arsenal progressed with comfortable wins over Galatasaray and Leverkusen but with Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham all being on the end of heavy defeats should we be concerned about the strength of the top English teams or is this just evidence that the European heavyweights save themselves for nights like these?
