Arsenal left Liverpool needing one more point to win the Premier League, an outcome which was satisfactory to most people except Eoin, who likes to watch other people watching. Meanwhile Ken has been thinking about some ways we might start making football great again.

We catch up with the details of some of yesterday’s briefing from FAI CEO David Courell, including the qualities Irish football will be looking for in Marc Canham’s successor, and some reasons why government might be reluctant to go all-in on backing the FAI’s calls for investment.
