E212: “It's Over” — Drama in Scotland, Bournemouth End Pep's Title Chase, Pep Exit Rumours & Southampton Expelled (Week in Football)One week after lifting the Premier League title, The Non-Negotiables turn their attention to the rest of football and there was no shortage of stories to unpack.WATG returns for Matchweek 37 as European places tighten, relegation pressure remains alive and attention turns to the final day. Aston Villa edge closer to Champions League football, Bournemouth make more history and questions remain around who joins Europe's biggest stage next season.  North of the border, Celtic secure a 56th league title after late drama against Hearts. The lads discuss what made the Scottish title race feel different this season, whether the Old Firm monopoly was genuinely under threat and reflect on former Arsenal figures involved in the celebrations.  There's also discussion around the changing place of the FA Cup, managerial culture, and the growing feeling that football's traditional landmarks continue to shift.  Then attention turns to the biggest Premier League story of the week. Bournemouth get the result that ends Manchester City's title defence and confirms Arsenal as champions. The conversation moves from the title itself into what comes next — Pep Guardiola's future, succession talk, timing of the reports and what a changing landscape could mean.  Elsewhere, there's reaction to Southampton's extraordinary play-off controversy, wider debate around punishment in football and whether the game has become too comfortable with rule breaches and inconsistent consequences.  Plus final-day permutations, Champions League qualification scenarios and one last look at the relegation battle before the season reaches its conclusion. Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Week in Football Introduction & WATG: Matchweek 37(02:33) - Celtic Win Title 56 & Hearts Fall Short(05:02) - Former Gunners & Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Debate(08:10) - Is the FA Cup Losing Its Place?(11:21) - Chelsea, Xabi Alonso & Managerial Chaos Discussion(14:07) - Pep Guardiola Exit Rumours & Manchester City Succession Talk(17:24) - Charges, Legacy & Arteta Beating Pep(22:33) - Slot Stays & Salah's Statement(24:37) - Southampton Expelled From Play-Offs?

Welcome back to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. In this week's episode, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper are joined by Michael Grant, Scottish football correspondent for The Times and author of Fergie Rises, to tell the story of how a young Alex Ferguson shattered the Old Firm duopoly and transformed Aberdeen into serial winners.This Episode was recorded before the dramatic showdown on the final day of the SPL season between Celtic and Hearts, but was this just the start of the Hearts story? Will they continue threatening to break the Rangers-Celtic stranglehold for years to come? Wilson, Draper and Grant trace the remarkable parallels with Ferguson's Aberdeen revolution. They explore how a brash 36-year-old manager, fresh from a humiliating tribunal after being sacked by St Mirren, walked into a club that had nearly been relegated two years earlier and forged a dynasty. Along the way, they examine the clashes on the pitch, the psychological scars of Fergie's playing days, the infamous post-cup final rant that still hurts his players 40 years on. Michael Grant reveals the man behind the myth... volatile, funny, manipulative, and utterly relentless.00:00 Introduction — Hearts, the Old Firm, and Why Fergie Matters Now06:30 Aberdeen Before Ferguson — Nearly Relegated12:45 The St Mirren Sacking and the Tribunal19:20 The Westhill Willy Biters27:10 Willie Miller and the Power Struggle34:50 Breaking the Old Firm's Psychological Hold42:15 Winning the League — 5-0 at Easter Road48:00 Knocking on Fergie's Door at 3am53:40 The Liverpool Humiliation58:10 Fergie's Fury — The Morning After Anfield01:03:20 Youth Development and Building a Dynasty01:09:00 The Infamous 1983 Cup Final Rant01:14:30 Why the Old Firm Were Vulnerable — and can Hearts Can Do It Again?

Carlos Bocanegra joins Jason Longshore to talk about Atlanta FC, his new boutique youth club built on a model American youth soccer rarely sees: one team per age group, one dedicated coach per team, and a family-first environment where parents get the training session plan after every practice and are welcome at team talks. Bocanegra talks about why he stopped playing soccer for nine months in high school because of a bad coaching experience, why the late bloomer is the player most at risk in the current system, and what he hopes Atlanta FC can do to start changing the culture of youth development nationally. Jason adds context on the staff: Liam Curran, nine years at Atlanta United and currently working with U.S. Youth National Teams, as Director of Goalkeeping, and Dr. Ryan Alexander, founding High Performance Director at Atlanta United, in the same role at Atlanta FC. Tryouts are May 18 through 20 at Oglethorpe University in Brookhaven. More at atlantafootballclub.com. Then it's What's On Tap, sponsored by Michelob Ultra, official beer sponsor of FIFA World Cup 26. Arsenal are going to Budapest for their first Champions League final in 20 years. Jason breaks down the most statistically dominant European campaign any English club has put together in the modern format, what Mikel Arteta has had to manage to get there, and why dismissing the PSG-Bayern first leg as poorly defended is the wrong take entirely. Preview of tomorrow's second leg in Munich, where Bayern need two goals and both managers have said neither team is coming to defend. The 3-4-3, brought to you by Ford, closes the show. Local stories cover the AU2 road win over Carolina Core, the full boys high school quarterfinal bracket with all four classifications, and the girls semifinal picture including Model's 6-0 win in Rome with Emily Gentry's first-half hat trick. Four headlines: Arsenal's Premier League title door opens wider after City drop points against Everton, the Neymar assault allegation at Santos involving Robinho Jr., Mourinho extension talks accelerating at Benfica with Real Madrid circling and a ten-day release clause window approaching, and Hearts three points clear of Celtic with three matches left chasing the first Scottish title by a club outside the Old Firm since Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen in 1985. Three smile stories: the Rosario Central dog who turned out to belong to a Newell's Old Boys family, Cooper Sanchez getting better every single match and deserving national attention he is not getting, and the crowd in Rome for Model's state quarterfinal win.
