A weekend slate which seemingly had so much potential last Friday evening was...well....it was what it was. All of the major games including the Copa Lib final (boring), the Man United-Arsenal match (scoreless), Marseille & Stade Rennes (cancelled) failed to live up to the hype. We still managed to squeeze two hours out of the weekend by calling out PSG, evaluating game 2 of Tuchel's reign at Chelsea, questioning whether anyone in Liga MX is actually good, and wondering what happened to the Sao Paulo team that was soaring atop the Brasilerao.  

We also discuss Jose's future at Spurs, suggest that Scott Parker's Fulham may be doomed to an unfortunate relegation, and evaluate the January transfer window's most notable moves including Ozan Kabak's loan to Liverpool. We also lament the lack of fights and music from the weekend.
