It was a difficult week in the world of football, this week we discuss FIFA’s response to it all and how the sport can do better

Part 1 (00:44)

Part 2 (12:36)

We’ve got good news and bad news. Bad news first, Leeds United have parted ways with Marcelo Biela. Good news, Bielsa watch is back! Jesse Marsch is set to replace him.

Man United threw away their footing in the top four race, but they did get a 1-1 draw in Madrid, so a mixed week for them?

This weekend also has a Manchester derby as the big game…
