Ger Gilroy was joined in studio by the Irish football writer, Richard Fitzpatrick, to discuss his brilliant new book, 'HH: Helenio Herrera – Football's Original Master of the Dark Arts'. What is in part a study of a footballing icon from the early days of the European Cup, Richard's book explores regions of Herrera's life that extended well beyond the pitch itself. From his relentless philandering to his larger-than-life personality, his violent temper to his application of mind games that informed Jose Mourinho's approach in later decades, it is a remarkable story superbly told in this new book.

Arsenal blew a 2-0 lead away at bottom side Wolves on Wednesday night to cede further ground in the title race, meaning Man City can now win the league if they win all their remaining games. On the other side of Europe, Newcastle crushed Azerbaijan champions Qarabag 6-1 to all but seal their place in the last 16, thanks to an Anthony Gordon quadruple and some horrendous defending from the hosts. Elsewhere in the Champions League, Benfica's 1-0 loss to Real Madrid was overshadowed by Vinicius Junior alleging that he was racially abused by a Benfica defender in the aftermath of his stunning winning goal. Jose Mourinho didn't help the situation with his post-match comments and UEFA have a delicate situation on their hands. Niall, Joel and Marley discuss the lot on today's FSD!

Jack jumps on an impromptu call with Gazzetta dello Sport's Tommy Milanese to react to the breaking news that Igor Tudor is all but confirmed as Tottenham's new interim manager. We dig into Tudor's reputation in Italy to find out exactly what we are getting. Tommy gives the lowdown on his mixed spells with Lazio and Juventus (including that recent 8-game winless run), and we discuss whether his abrasive, high-intensity tactical style can actually blend with this specific group of players, or if it's a disaster waiting to happen. We also ask the big questions: will he be willing to incorporate the youth players Spurs are so reliant on? And crucially, is he the man to save us from the drop? Tommy also shares some fascinating insight into Fabio Paratici's reputation in Italy, and shares a brilliant anecdote about an impromptu lunch date with Jose Mourinho during his time working for the club.

Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: Dave's subliminal, accidental Andy Gray impression, a massively overdone Champions League scene-setting montage from Amazon Prime Video, Jose Mourinho's last remaining elite quality is brought into question, inadvertent footballers' names in wrestling podcasts and typically tuneless American deployments of self-deprecating football chants. Meanwhile, the panel enjoy the obsessive football undertakings of a listener cross-referencing players' initials with UK postcodes and a one-man TikTok operation to shut down factually inaccurate footballer anecdotes.
