Fallout from the breakaway dozen's collapsing structures, Arsenal ownership bid and Tottenham's calamitous week

Part 1

A lot has changed in the post-Super League announcement world since we last spoke. Fortunately, the whole thing collapsed like a house of cards on Tuesday, but the ramifications of it all are still unclear.

Hello and welcome to the Total Football podcast. I am your host Declan Harte and joining me is Andrew Conway

Andrew, what will the fallout of this whole scandal look like both short-term and long-term?

Part 2

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek has started preparation to make a bid for the purchase of Arsenal Football Club. He’s joined forces with Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira. How do we see this playing out?

Chelsea took a big step towards top 4 by beating West Ham 1-0 in the London Stadium. Werner finally stepped up with a big goal, and yet still missed a sitter to remind us all of his poor form.

The title races in Spain and France now look the most intense in all of Europe. Will we see a surprise winner, or will PSG, and one of Real Madrid or Barcelona seal the title like they always do?

The top 4 race is also quite close in Italy. Juventus have Napoli and Lazio hot on their heels, how much would we enjoy Juve slipping out of the Champions League?

Julian Nagelsmann is set to join Bayern Munich for next season after the club agreed a €20 million fee with RB Leipzig for his services.

Part 3

Last week one of the biggest stories of the Premier League season unfolded to an audience of absolutely no one. Jose Mourinho was sacked as Tottenham manager and no one really noticed. Now, with the dust settled and the League Cup final lost, let’s finally discuss what next for the Portuguese and what next for Spurs?

Part 4

Champions League semi finals will take place this week. For a brief moment we thought PSG would be handed the title amid the breakaway chaos, but now it looks like they’ll have to go through Man City to get their hands on the trophy. Who are the favourites going into this week’s first legs?
