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!

The latest instalment of the Merseyside derby didn't fail to entertain as James Tarkowski escaped a red card before Diogo Jota settled proceedings with the only goal of the game to move the Reds closer to the Premier League title. Arsenal won on Tuesday night to momentarily pressure Arne Slot's side, but it wasn't enough to cause the Slot machine to malfunction. 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. Niall and Marley discuss all this and more on the latest Football Social Daily!

Niall and Marley are back and so is the Premier League! Domestic action has been missed but there's midweek action as we look towards the run-in, with 10 games to go. Man City's chances at finishing in the top four have been dealt a blow by the news that Erling Haaland is out for up to seven weeks, keeping the Norwegian out until around the time of the FA Cup final. Across Manchester, there's been rumours linking Bruno Fernandes with a move to Real Madrid, but with him being one of the few shining lights of a woeful United season, should Ruben Amorim entertain the thought of selling his captain?

The FA Cup took centre stage this weekend as Aston Villa, Man City, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest reached the final four. But would 'only' winning the pot be a bad season for Pep Guardiola? Elsewhere, another trophy is dividing fans as Newcastle's Carabao Cup win saw biblical scenes in the North East, with 300,000 people adorning the streets to celebrate the Toon's first domestic cup win in 70 years. But as this is the age of social media, the celebration police were out in force and tried to rain on the parade. But isn't the game about glory?

Niall and Marley are back curing your international break boredom with a discussion on referees and whether they get paid fairly for what they do. Plus, why does Wilfried Zaha constantly seem to have a chip on his shoulder?

It has been revealed that Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold will be swapping Merseyside for Madrid in the summer, and the decision has wound up many Reds! Is he abandoning legendary status at Anfield? Or is moving to the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid, the right move?

England's new manager began his tenure with straightforward wins over Albania and Latvia, with a host of new faces impressing along the way. However some problems remain, with square pegs being forced into round holes in Thomas Tuchel's lineups. Elsewhere, USA manager Mauricio Pochettino was pictured having a coffee with Daniel Levy, leading to speculation that he may one day return to Spurs for a second spell as boss. But is it adding two and two and getting five with Ange Postecoglou still hanging onto his job in the meantime? Niall and Marley discuss this and more, including whether the USA can have an impact on home soil next summer, on today's FSD.

History was made on Sunday night as Newcastle United ended almost 70 years of hurt as they won their first domestic trophy since 1955. The Geordies beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley to claim the Carabao Cup, two years after falling at the final hurdle to Man United. On today's episode, Marley is the last man standing with Niall and Joel in random corners of the world, meaning it's an all-NUFC podcast...as you'd expect.

Aston Villa will face PSG in the Champions League quarter finals. Could they go all the way? Arsenal will take on Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants controversially making it through their tie thanks to a dodgy penalty call. Should the rules change after the confusion?

Arne Slot's chances of winning a European-Domestic double in his first Liverpool season were dashed by PSG last night as the 6-time Champions League winners were knocked out in the last 16. Will this be a blow ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley with Newcastle? Or will they use it as fuel to beat the Geordies under the arch?

It has been a bonkers 24 hours for Manchester United fans. First a stark interview with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who shockingly revealed the club could have potentially gone bust had he not taken drastic cost-cutting measures. The billionaire also admitted keeping Erik ten Hag and bringing in Dan Ashworth were expensive mistakes, but not as expensive as the £2bn outlay a brand new replacement stadium for Old Trafford will cost after plans were unveiled for a 100,000 seater ground this morning. Joel returns to FSD via his Mexican hideout to share a United fans' view on a crazy day's news...

There is always pressure in the Premier League, but has it all got a bit much for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta? The Gunners' gaffer stormed out of a post match interview after his side's 1-1 draw against Manchester United, which all but gifts Liverpool the title! Niall and Marley discuss Arteta's antics, Bruno Fernandes' free kick which caught out David Raya, and if the Gunners have the guts to go again next season and win the Premier League.

Liverpool earned a narrow victory in Europe last night as Harvey Elliot's late goal proved enough to see off PSG in the French capital, but it was the Reds goalkeeper who earned the plaudits. Alisson denied just about everyone in blue at the Parc Des Princes, giving Arne Slot's side something to defend in the second leg.Elsewhere, attention turns to Manchester United and Spurs in the Europa League tonight, with Real Sociedad awaiting the Red Devils, keen to extend their recent misery. Is the competition something United should be targeting as winnable? Or is it all about continuing to adapt to the Ruben Amorim system? Niall and Marley discuss all that and more on the latest FSD.Keep up to date with us on our socials here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/FSDPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@footballsocialdaily Telegram Group: https://t.me/FootballSocial Learn more about your ad choices.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners finally found some form in front of goal as they put seven past PSV in the Champions League last night, leaving them firm favourites to go through to the quarter final stage. The last eight also looks likely for Aston Villa, who battled to a 3-1 win over Club Brugge in Belgium last night, thanks to super-sub Marco Asensio and an unbelievable goal line clearance from Tyrone Mings. Elsewhere, Liverpool take on PSG in the Champions League tonight looking to make it three from three for the Premier League sides. In domestic news, there are calls for Millwall's goalkeeper to be given an extended ban for his incident with Jean-Philippe Mateta, after their clash at the weekend resulted in the Frenchman needing 25 stitches to save his ear. But should the shot stopper be banned for longer with it being such a serious injury? Niall and Marley discuss all this and more on the latest Football Social Daily.

The last eight of the FA Cup has been decided after a dramatic weekend of fixtures which saw Man United and Ipswich eliminated on penalties and Newcastle knocked out thanks in part to Anthony Gordon's moment of madness. This week's Get in the Sea nominations mention the Newcastle man's actions as well as managers' tendencies to rotate their best goalkeeper. Niall and Marley also ask is it time the English clubs flexed their muscles on the European stage as Aston Villa and Arsenal resume their continental challenge tonight with visits to Belgium and the Netherlands.

It is looking more and more likely that Liverpool will be Premier League champions in 2024-25, after challengers Arsenal dropped points again whilst Arne Slot's side beat Newcastle to maintain a healthy lead in the title race. It's also looking like Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton will be returning to the Championship. So where will us EPL fans get our excitement from for the rest of the season?!

'Over my dead body' says Mikel Arteta as he was asked if Arsenal will give up in the Premier League title race. But the Gunners are now 11 points behind leaders Liverpool after losing to West Ham. Surely it's the scousers' to lose? Plus, Southampton's shocking season is thrown in the sea after an abject display against a buoyant Brighton.

Manchester City's Champions League hopes came to an end as a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick did the damage at the Bernabeu. The Frenchman took advantage of another lacklustre performance from the Premier League champions, as Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland remained unused substitutes. Meanwhile in the Premier League, Liverpool were held to a point at Villa Park in a superb game under the lights. Mo Salah was unplayable again, but the headlines have been stolen by Darwin Nunez, who missed an open goal with his first touch since coming on. His work rate was also questioned by manager Arne Slot, who seems to be growing frustrated with the Uruguayan striker. Niall and Marley discuss all this (and mango smoothies) on the latest episode of Football Social Daily.
