## Resource

We talk through the bizarre culture around England squad announcements, why everything gets leaked before a ball is kicked, and whether Thomas Tuchel’s strange selections might actually make sense tactically. We also get into Romero deciding not to attend Spurs’ final game of the season, the anger and confusion around that decision, the chaos left behind after Daniel Levy’s departure, and the horrible feeling surrounding Everton on the final day. Plus Arsenal winning the league, Villa winning Europe, Southampton’s spying scandal, referee conspiracies, and why football increasingly feels driven by narratives rather than the game itself Learn more about your ad choices.
