All eyes were on Ireland it seemed this week as Damien Duff led Shelbourne to a historic League of Ireland win, just three seasons after promotion in a campaign which captured hearts around the world.

Fresh off of ignoring Duffers facetime post league win, Jose Mourinho was letting loose with an 8+ minute rant on VAR, the Turkish league, the stink of the place and everything in between.

In a surprising move Arsenal Director and primary Arteta backer Edu announced he is set to leave Arsenal for his dream job of taking Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos to new heights.

Is it time to tell who is going to win the Premier League?

And finally, thanks for coming Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but let that be the end of you and your ilk (successful club legends) at Man United.

Let it be known that nobody goes a full year with just one win in Europe and gets away with it at Manchester United!

Erik Ten Hag tenure as United manager finally came to an end after a 3 years of poor league results and great domestic success. We take a look back at where it all went wrong and ask how bad was he really?

It's a dark day for football as far as Real Madrid are concerned as Rodri wins the Ballon d'Or over Vinicius Jr.

Maybe it wasn't the "historic robbery" that has upset Madrid however, maybe it was getting hammered by Barcelona in the latest El Classico, a game which featured yet another Mbappé disasterclass.

Meanwhile, in the Premier League Liverpool and Arsenal played out the epitome of their new risk averse football in a game that was somehow filled with goals and also devoid of much excitement.

The most successful international break in pod history as Ireland actually WON a game of football, and it wasn't even against Gibraltar this time!

Just as things looked up after beating Finland, Ireland were halted by an impassioned Greece team, honoring their late teammate George Baldock.

Lee Carsley's England also lost to the Greeks, prompting Carsley to strike out in the post-match press conference.

Enter Thomas Tuchel, as England aims for the rare feat of winning a Euros or World Cup with a non-national manager.

Meanwhile, Nigeria faced a suspicious last-minute plane diversion, leaving them stranded without food, water, or Wi-Fi—allegedly a mind game from Libya.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson isn't safe from cutbacks at Manchester United, as INEOS has cut his cushy ambassador role.
