Miscellaneous


We review the Christmas football period, while also wondering whether or not football should continue for the next weeks and months. Part 1 We’ve made it through to the other side, it’s almost the halfway point of the Premier League season, and yet we still don’t really know what will happen next. We tried to predict the holiday schedule of games, but this is no ordinary league campaign and football has never been weirder. The Total Football podcast wishes you a happy and healthy 2021. I am your host Declan Harte, and joining me is Andrew Conway Andrew, what did you make of the last three rounds of fixtures? Part 2 I suppose we’ll start with the title race. Liverpool still sit at the very top of the table, but only just. They picked up two points from nine, meanwhile Man United picked up seven. Where do you stand with these two old rivals? Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is under the threat of the sack after his side’s slump continued. Is Lampard on the verge of the sack or will he see it through to the other side? Arsenal’s form improved, starting with a 3-1 win over that Chelsea side. What’s been the cause of that? Man City also beat Chelsea 3-1 and looked good in doing so, are City back and ready to surge to the title, or is this just more inconsistency? Thomas Tuchel was sacked as PSG manager over the break. Mauricio Pochettino has come in to replace him, how do we see that working out? Part 3 There’s been breaches of covid protocol, games postponed, further lockdown restrictions, rumours, speculation, accusation and actual positive cases. Through it all, football will seemingly continue and the FA Cup will even go ahead as planned with the Third Round this weekend. It was an uncertain two weeks of will they or won’t they as clusters emerged at various clubs, but can football cope with the rising cases, or should it be stopped?
