City Double, Chelsea’s Gamble & United’s Miracle Man

Tunji and Mekus are back to break down a massive weekend in English football! We kick things off with the FA Cup Final, where Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Chelsea to complete a domestic double. Was it a tactical masterclass or just individual brilliance? We also address the swirling rumors about Pep Guardiola’s future and the massive hole he would leave at the Etihad.

Then, we dive into the shock of the week: Chelsea has hired Xabi Alonso on a long-term deal! We discuss the crucial difference between a "Head Coach" and a "Manager" and whether the BlueCo owners are finally ready to give a coach the keys to the city. Plus, we don't hold back on the current squad—from Robert Sanchez’s "accounting" to Garnacho’s regression.

Finally, we talk Manchester United, where Michael Carrick has officially signed a permanent deal after leading the team to a miraculous 3rd place finish. Can he handle the pressure of multiple competitions next season? We wrap up with Liverpool’s defensive collapse against Aston Villa and whether Arne Slot deserves more time to fix the mess.
