It's never quiet where Newcastle United are concerned, is it?

Well, their decision to part ways with Rafa Benitez was one of our talking points on this week's Team 33 - our last show of this season.

Newcastle fans clearly adored and respected Benitez for what he had achieved with meagre resources.

He has led an average squad to two respectable finishes in the top flight.

But owner Mike Ashley and the club's board have gone a different route after failing to agree terms with Benitez.

It leaves Newcastle in an uncertain place and we discussed that on the podcast.

We also discussed the FIFA Women's World Cup, including the pros and cons of the fall-out from the England vs Cameroon game.

Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney's potential move from Celtic to Arsenal came up and we also touched on the potential for an all-island Irish league.
