Congratulations to Chelsea, who can now officially call themselves Champions of the World after they blew away PSG with a scintillating performance in the USA. However, all the attention is on the US President Donald Trump and his awkward lingering, Michael Buffer turning up to the wrong sport, half-time interview nonsense and Robbie Williams confusing a largely American crowd. A year out from a North American World Cup, was this tournament a disaster for FIFA? Niall and Marley don't hold back with their thoughts...

Premier League football and politics are linked together, even if we sometimes like to pretend that they aren't. The British Government have voted in favour of establishing an Independent Football Regulator in the top 5 men's divisions of English football. But what does this mean? What powers will they have? How will the game change? Niall and Marley attempt to tackle those questions on the latest FSD!

Transfer talk is the topic of today's FSD, with news emerging this week that Liverpool have rebuffed an approach from FC Bayern over the availability of Colombia winger Luis Diaz.

Ruben Amorim has another problem to deal with at Old Trafford after two of his players took to social media this week to further push themselves towards the exit door. Alejandro Garnacho posted a picture to his instagram account of him wearing an Aston Villa shirt with Marcus Rashford’s name on the back, leading to further speculation that he wants to leave the club in the coming months.

Arne Slot has made his second summer signing as Liverpool confirmed the signing of German star Florian Wirtz over the weekend. The Premier League champions have paid a British record fee for the Bayer Leverkusen man, who follows Jeremie Frimpong from Germany to Merseyside. How will he fit in at Anfield and does this mean the end of Darwin Nunez? Elsewhere, Crystal Palace look to have found their way out of the situation that threatened their Europa League participation, with John Textor selling his share of the club to a fellow American.

Chelsea paid more than £80m for Mykhailo Mudryk in 2023, but just 2 years in to an 8-year contract, the Ukrainian could be banned for up to 4 years for a breach of the FA's anti-doping programme.

Are his days numbered at the Etihad, and did Pep Guardiola make a mistake bringing him in?

Manchester United have made a swift start to their summer transfer business with the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The Brazilian looks set to improve Ruben Amorim's side immediately, but it's clear the Red Devils need more if they're to get back towards the top of the Premier League. Brentford's Brian Mbeumo is another name linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but does the French winger fit Amorim's system? Across Manchester, City are also planning to raid Wolves for one of their stars as Rayan Ait-Nouri continues to be heavily linked with the club in a big money move. AC Milan midfielder Tijani Reijnders is also closing in on a move as Pep Guardiola looks to revamp his squad after a poor season.

The season is over, the dust is settling and it’s a busy podcast as Niall and Marley digest it all. Chelsea won the champions league shootout at the City Ground, although Gary Neville wasn’t there to see it, as Levi Colwill’s goal proved the difference to send the Blues into Europe’s premier competition. Aston Villa missed out on a second consecutive appearance in the same competition though, as a controversial call in their game against Man United saw Morgan Rogers’ goal chalked out. Is there a silver lining for the Villans though? Elsewhere, Spurs lost again, Newcastle rode their luck and we finally discuss the worst Europa League final ever that took place last week.

With Chelsea and Forest facing each other, that game looks tantalising as both clubs clash to secure a Champions League berth - whilst the equation is simpler for Newcastle and Man City.

For the first time in their 119-year existence, Crystal Palace can call themselves FA Cup winners after a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday. The Eagles were inspired by a heroic Dean Henderson performance after Eberechi Eze's goal gave them something to hang on to in the first half, and Man City couldn't break down the Palace door despite their efforts. Elsewhere, Goodison Park hosted its final game before Everton move to "Hill Dickinson Stadium" - something that irked Niall in today's Get In The Sea nominations. The Toffees eased past miserable Southampton to mark the occasion with three points on a day where 100 former players were invited to say their goodbyes. Also over the weekend there was ups and downs in the race for the European places. Arsenal secured second while simultaneously making Newcastle's fate go down to the final day, Aston Villa and Forest earned vital points too, but Brentford threw away a lead to lose to Fulham in a local derby, all but ending their hopes of a Conference League place.

Crystal Palace take on Manchester City on Saturday in arguably the biggest game in their history. In 119 years of existence, Palace haven't managed to win anything more than a second division title, and are up against Pep Guardiola's Citizens, who are hoping to salvage something from a poor season by their standards. Niall and Marley discuss whether this means more to Palace than it does to City, whether the Eagles have the right manager and squad in place to pull off the shock, and whether City have still had a poor season if they win the jug.

Sean Dyche has been in the media saying that he could have had a greater impact on the Manchester United squad than Ruben Amorim has in his time at the club. Does he have a point, or is it wishful thinking from the former Burnley and Everton boss? Elsewhere, Newcastle United have announced plans to change the club badge which has been in state for almost 40 years. Is it something that's a priority for the club's new era?

Evangelos Marinakis is still making headlines as Nottingham Forest released a statement on social media about the seriousness of Taiwo Awoniyi's injury suffered at the weekend. But does it provide a suitable reason for him storming the pitch after the 2-2 draw with Leicester? Elsewhere, Everton are allowing Goodison Park to keep hosting football. The club have confirmed their women's team is set to play their games at the iconic ground, but is the news as good as it seems? And finally, Manchester United have revealed that they won't host a trophy parade if they win the Europa League. Instead, a low-key barbecue at the training ground will be held as Jim Ratcliffe continues to penny pinch. All that and more discussed on today's FSD!

In other news, Newcastle beat Chelsea to all but secure Champions League football, Arsenal and Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw and there was more misery for Spurs and Man United as they lost again.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he is to leave Liverpool this summer. But despite being an academy graduate who has won both the Champions League and the Premier League at Anfield, Liverpool fans are furious at his departure.

Wembley plays host to our final four, of which 3 are looking to do something Man City are very familiar with, and that's make a major final. Can Palace win their first FA Cup ever?

FSD is back after the Easter break and there's a lot to discuss, with two new (or should that be old) names securing their top flight status for next season, as Burnley and Leeds secured promotion over the weekend. But with Leicester joining Southampton by dropping on Saturday, how do the Whites and the Clarets survive next season? Elsewhere, Manchester City recorded a huge last-gasp win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, thanks to the much-maligned Matheus Nunes' 94th minute winner. Will they finish in the Champions League places after a bizarre season? Niall and Marley are on hand to discuss all that and more, including the confirmation that we will see a South coast derby next season, partly thanks to Mr and Mrs Murphy having a fumble 30 years ago...

An action-packed Premier League weekend threw up plenty of talking points, but very few of those came in what has been described as the most boring Manchester Derby in years. Kevin de Bruyne's final Old Trafford test for City ended in a 0-0 bore draw with United, whilst Liverpool's defeat to Fulham - just their second of the season - couldn't be pounced on by Arsenal. Meanwhile, sorry Southampton saw their relegation confirmed, and they sacked Ivan Juric before we even had the chance to talk about it!

Elsewhere, a Sandro Tonali unintentional screamer earned Newcastle a win over Brentford, leaving the Geordies in charge of the race for the top four, having played a game less than 4th placed Man City. And finally, Southampton moved within a point of finally matching Derby County's humiliating 11-point haul with a draw at home to Crystal Palace.
