The OneFootball Podcast

On this week's Onefootball Podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Lewis Ambrose, Francesco Porzio and André Gonçalves. After Dan shows his age in an enlightening discussion about Electronic Dance Music, the gang get stuck straight into this week’s red hot Champions League action. Are Lionel Messi’s Barcelona men on a mission in Europe this season? What’s going wrong with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich at the moment? And is Manchester United’s season already a pointless waste of everybody’s time? There’s also a preview of the massive Premier League clash at Anfield coming up this weekend. Do Manchester City have any chance of getting their first win on that ground since X Men 2 was in cinemas? And if so, how do they stop Liverpool? And the all new bigger, longer and uncut Onefootball Podcast ends with a whistle-stop tour of Europe’s other big leagues.

On this week's Onefootball Podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Danny Issroff, Helge Wohltmann and Andrea Agostinelli. The boys start by looking back at FIFA's The Best awards. Did Luka Modrić deserve to win? Was Didier Deschamps really coach of the year? And how the hell did no Manchester City players make it into the 2018 World XI. Then it's time to delve into the turmoil at Manchester United. Will they even finish in the top four this season and what's really going on between José Mourinho and Paul Pogba? There's also some words of praise for Phil 'The Stockport Iniesta' Foden and a preview of the big game coming up between Chelsea and Liverpool this weekend. Next Helge talks us through supporter unrest in the Bundesliga and explains what's going wrong at rock-bottom club Schalke. And we finish with Andrea telling the long, convoluted and extremely Italian story that is Serie B.

On this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Alex Mott and Daniel Cadena Jordan. After finding out how you're really supposed to pronounce "Łukasz Piszczek" the boys get stuck straight into this week's Champions League group stage action. Did Cristiano Ronaldo deserve to be sent off against Valencia? And was his temper tantrum the biggest overreaction of all-time? Next it's time to look back at that enthralling contest at Anfield on Tuesday night. Are Paris Saint-Germain still miles away from seriously competing for the Champions League? And could this be Liverpool's year? Meanwhile, Manchester City had their backsides handed to them by Lyon, Mauricio Pochettino went all José Mourinho after Spurs lost at Inter, and there were comfortable wins for Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

On this week’s podcast Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Lewis Ambrose, Helge Wohltmann and André Gonçalves. After a brief philosophical discussion, the lads get stuck straight into last week’s UEFA Nations League action. Has international football changed for the better? Should England think about changing their approach? Should Germany think about changing their coach? And is this the beginning of a bold new era for Luis Enrique and Spain? Next it’s time to look ahead at the upcoming weekend of club football. Do Tottenham have any chance of beating Liverpool? Why have so many big Bundesliga teams started the season poorly? And will LaLiga be heading Stateside or not? And to finish, the panel picked their 2018 World XIs.

In this week's podcast, caretaker manager Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Daniel Cadena Jordan, Phil Costa and Elliott Bretland. We start by checking back in with Manchester United. Is José Mourinho's job safe after that win at Burnley? And were the fans within their rights to send that plane and simple message to Ed Woodward? Next up, Phil gives his take on Unai Emery's start to life at Arsenal, Elliott explains why Evertonians are walking in a Marco Silva wonderland and we reveal why Watford will definitely win the 2018/19 Premier League title. After that, it's time to talk all things LaLiga. Is Lionel Messi out to prove a point after he was snubbed for FIFA's The Best award? How are Real Madrid coping without Cristiano Ronaldo? And why can 37-year-old Joaquín now die happy? To finish, Daniel gives a pretty comprehensive explanation of how the UEFA Nations League is supposed to work, and we ponder whether it's a step in the right direction for international football or an over-complicated mess.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke, Alex Mott, Romain Welter and Tobi Herrmann. After the pod crew ducked and dived their way through the season previews, it is time to sink some teeth into the now-underway leagues around Europe. It all starts with the Premier League with the focus on the mess at Manchester United. What's going so wrong? And is Zidane the answer? The crew have their say. After that, it is Bundesliga time. This weekend past was the opening one of the season and there is loads to talk about from Bayern's penalty to a certain manager wearing make-up via Germnay's own Jamie Vardy story. But the pod is not done there. Romain is in the house and ready to talk all things French, including tactical innovations at PSG, the brilliance of Niîmes and the trouble in Nice.

There is one fool claiming Liverpool could win the league and another claiming Mauricio Pochettino will be the first to get sacked. Please enjoy.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke, Romain Welter and Francesco Porzio. So that's it, then. It is done. What will we do with our lives now? Well, we will start off by dissecting the big game between France and Croatia, taking in the goals, the controversies and the rest of the talking points. When that is done, we'll delay going back to reality by reviewing all of the best and worst from Russia 2018.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke, André Gonçalves, Alex Mott and Francesco Porzio. There are just two games in the World Cup. How are we going to fill our days when it is gone? No, you're crying. Well, let's not think about that just yet. There are two World Cup semi-finals to talk about, one in which France showed why they are favourite and the other in which England fluffed their lines. Outside of football, transfers are in full swing and none are bigger than the Ronaldo one. Was it the right thing for Real Madrid to do? How will they cope next season? And what are the juicy details behind the deal? We have all of that and more.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke, André Gonçalves and Romain Welter. There are just four games to go in this World Cup and we should get used to the face that football is coming home, isn't it? Oh. Lord! Anyway, it is time to review the quarter-finals, preview the semi-finals and to get really excited about Ronaldo's move to Juventus. There is all of that and more in this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke, André Gonçalves and Francesco Porzio. Now that the group stages are over with so too are the shocks, right? Wrong. Big time. They just keep on coming from Russia eliminating Spain – WTF! – to England actually winning a penalty shootout at a major tournament. There is talk of all that as well as examining just how good France are and whether or not Neymar is actually liked in Brazil.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Helge Wohltmann, Dan Burke and Romain Welter . The group stages are done and dusted and there have been plenty of ups and downs. More downs for Germany and their shock exit is the jump-off point for this week's podcast. It is not the only topic though. There is talk of Belgium. How good are they? How far can they go? There is also the mess that is Argentina, a preview of their tasty match against France and a whole lot more. Oh. And Dan goes full fan with his England predictions. Sigh.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's André Gonçalves, Dan Burke and Romain Welter. By now we have seen every team play in the World Cup so it is time to talk early impressions. What have been our favourite moments? Should we write Germany off already? Are Brazil better off without Neymar? All of these and more are answered in this week's podcast.

And there is just one topic on the menu: the World Cup. All the groups are previewed, all predictions are made and all your questions are answered. We'll be back throughout the World Cup so check out the details below for how you can subscribe and how you can get in touch.

On this week's episode of the Onefootball Podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by André Gonçalves, Helge Wohltmann and Andrea Agostinelli. Now if you're wondering why there's no mention of Zinedine Zidane leaving Real Madrid, that's because the announcement was made mere moments after we finished recording. Thanks for that Zizou. But there's at least a huge discussion about Saturday's extraordinary Champions League final. Did Sergio Ramos mean to maim Mo Salah? Which of Loris Karius's blunders were the worst? Did Gareth Bale score the greatest goal of all-time? And does Zidane deserve more respect for his remarkable achievements as a coach? Then it's time to talk summer transfers! What will Fabinho bring to Liverpool? Will Barcelona get their hands on Antoine Griezmann? Can PSG keep hold of Neymar and Kylian Mbappé? And who exactly is Diogo Dalot? And because it's our 101st episode, we also talked about things from the world of football we'd like to put in Room 101.

For the landmark 100th episode of the Onefootball Podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by Danny Issroff, Alex Mott and Daniel Cadena Jordan. The domestic season may be over, but there was still a lot to talk about. The panel kicked things off by looking back at a dramatic pair of cup finals in England and Germany last weekend. Has José Mourinho taken Manchester United as far as he can? And is Niko Kovač about to spark a glorious new era at Bayern Munich? The managerial merry-go-round is also in full swing. Is Unai Emery the right man for Arsenal? What will Lucien Favre bring to Dortmund? And can Manuel Pellegrini bring the good times back to West Ham? Elswhere, Andrés Iniesta has said goodbye to Barcelona and will start a new life in Japan, while there’s also the small matter of the Champions League final to come this weekend. And with just three weeks to go until the World Cup kicks off in Russia, there’s plenty of sympathy for those players who will be forced to watch it at home.

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Helge Wohltmann, Giacomo Galardini and Romain Welter. Atlético Madrid scooped the first European silverware of the season when they beat Marseille in Wednesday's Europa League final. But how enjoyable to watch is Diego Simeone's brand of football? And could it all have been different for Marseille had Dimitri Payet stayed on the pitch? Then, with an expert on each of Europe's top five leagues on hand in the studio, it's time to hand out some awards. It's the end of the season as we know it, and we run through our players of the year, managers of the year, disappointments of the year, and much more. Oh, and there's also some chat about how much we hate dogs (as pets) and fish (as food) too.

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by the Onefootball newsroom's Francesco Porzio, Phil Costa and Nathalia Araújo. They begin by getting their teeth into that absorbing Champions League semi-final second leg at the Bernabéu. Were Bayern unlucky, or are they just not good enough to crowned kings of Europe? And does this Real Madrid team really deserve to be remembered as one of the Champions League's greatest ever? Joining Madrid in the final will be Liverpool, who squeezed past Roma despite a late wobble in the Olimpico. Is the Champions League now Liverpool's to lose? And are we going to see another goal-fest in Kyiv? And the panel wrapped up the show by discussing the Serie A title race Napoli seem hell bent on ruining, and the Brasileiro Série A title race which has only just begun.

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Tobi Herrmann, Alejandro Diago and Lewis Ambrose. With a Bayern Munich fan and a Real Madrid fan in the studio, where else to start but that not-so-enthralling Champions League semi-final first leg in the Allianz Arena. Where did it all go right for Madrid? Where did it all go wrong for Bayern? And is this the end of the 'BBC' as we know it? Next up, the team ran the rule over Liverpool's sensational 5-2 shellacking of Roma on Tuesday night. Is Mohamed Salah the greatest footballer ever to draw breath? Will Jürgen Klopp's final hoodoo finally come to an end this season? And why can't the Reds do it on a dry Saturday in West Bromwich? And with an Arsène Wenger accolyte on hand, the show ended on a rather sombre note as the boys reflected on the great man's 22 years in charge of Arsenal and pondered where the Gunners might go from here.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Danny Issroff. The episode kicks off with a Manchester City special. How did they win the league? What were the key moments? And what does Pep need to improve upon next season? And then we come to big question: Are they one of the greatest teams in Premier League history? After that it is time to switch attentions to another league winner: Wolves. The Midlands club are an interesting one. They have played some incredible football and won the league with ease but they are backed by a lot of money and a very important agent. With all that done, time to go Stateside and MLS. There is plenty to talk about there. From Ibra's foray with LA Galaxy to the wayward form of Chicago via Toronto's terrific run in the Concacaf Champions League. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

On the Onefootball podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by Alex Mott, Andre Gonçalves and Philip Costa. This week's edition kicks off with the second legs of the Champions League quarter-finals and that game between Roma and Barcelona. And what a game it was. How did they do it? What went wrong for Barcelona? And is it the greatest Champions League comeback? The crew answer that and more. Elsewhere, there was Liverpool's expected progress – though was it because of the referee or the lack of Pep? – as well as that game amazing game between Real Madrid and Juventus. Once that is done, there is some Europa League previewing and then it is time to turn attentions to the managerial merry-go-round. This past week saw some very interesting rumours emanating from Paris and from west London. The Paris ones were linking Thomas Tuchel to the PSG job and the London ones had Antonio Conte fired. Now one of those was total rubbish (for now?) but the other one is an interesting one. Is the Tuchel really the right man? What sort of problems will he face? What does he need to change at the club? And as for Chelsea, it seems like it is only a matter of time now before Conte says so long to Stamford Bridge but who will be the man to replace him? Well that is an interesting question. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify..

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose, Dan Burke and pod debutant Philip Costa This week's edition kicks off with the Champions League ... and what a week it was. Liverpool tonked Manchester City. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to high to score a bicycle kick he almost mistook the Moon for the ball. Bayern nearly threw it away in Sevilla. And Roma scored three goal at the Camp Nou and still came away as losers. All of that, as well as your questions, is debated and discussed on the opening part of the podcast. For part deux, we are staying with the Premier League. There is a huge weekend ahead in the Premier League with not one but two massive cross-city games in Everton v Liverpool and Chelsea v West Ham United. Oh. And there is the small matter of the Manchester derby, a derby in which City can claim the Premier League title. It does not get much bigger than that, does it? And if you're lucky, there may even be some Alan Pardew chat, too. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan, Dan Burke and Danny Issroff. After the international break and before the return of top league action, it is time to see what we all learned from the games involving the big sides from Germany to Argentina via Brazil and a couple of others big sides in between. After that it has been a few weeks since the MLS got its own spot to it is time to correct that. The season may be just a few games old but there are already a number of interesting storylines opening up and, of course, there is the arrival of the man himself: Zlatan. But that is not all ...

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's André Gonçalves, Helge Wohltmann and Alex Mott. First up is the Champions League draw. There has been a few days for the team to ponder over it all so it is time to ask some questions. Do Roma have a chance? Are Juventus underdogs against Real Madrid? And who will be progressing to the next round? All of that and more is answered. It is international break this week, so it is to take stock of what is going on with some of the major nations around the world ahead of Russia 2018. That means a path from Germany to Brazil via Spain and England and the major issues surrounding the squads of the World Cup. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Emilie Rauschütz. This week's edition of the podcast gets going with Champions League with the big, big news and that is Manchester United's exit from the Champions League. Who is to blame? What could have been done differently? And what on Earth is going on with those post-match quotes from José Mourinho? After that it is on to the rest of the Champions League action from Barcelona v Chelsea to Besiktas v Bayern via Roma v Shakhtar. With that done, it is time to talk about the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich are almost certainly going to win the title in record time despite the poor showing in the first part of the season. What does this say about the Bundesliga? And what is its future? The team discuss that and more. And the final topic up for discussion this week is West Ham. The team is a mess, the fans are unhappy and the club is at a crisis point. But how and why has all of this come about? Dan has the answers to that and more. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected]

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan and Alex Mott. This week's edition of the podcast kicks off with the biggest games of the week: the Champions League. PSG are out. But who is to blame? Would it have been any different if Neymar had been there? And what do PSG need to do to step up to the next level. After that there is some Spurs chat as well as a few words – and we mean a few – on Manchester City and Liverpool's progression. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about what is, traditionally, one of the biggest games of the Premier League season, Manchester United v Liverpool. Since Liverpool got so much love last week, the focus is on Manchester United. And there are so many things to talk about. Has it been a disappointing season by their standards? How has Alexis got on? And how will Mourinho stop the Liverpool attack? After that, it is time to get excited about el Superclásico, Boca Juniors v River Plate. It has been a poor season for River but not so for Boca. The team talk about that, the return of Carlos Tevez and why so many clubs are eying up Gonzalo Maroni. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Daniel Issroff. It has been too long since the pod crew sat down and heaped some praise on Liverpool so they start off by correcting that. With that done it is time to get down and dirty with the return of MLS action this weekend. With that out of the way, it is time to get Onefootball's Francesco Porzio on the phone to talk Serie A and the Derby della Madonnina. Why are Milan so good all of a sudden? And why are Inter so bad all of a sudden? Francesco has the answers to that and more ahead of a huge weekend in Italy. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Konstantin Keller. First up is the Champions League. The starting point is the biggest game of the week, the one that saw Barcelona travel to Chelsea and the one that saw the Blues put in an impressive performance as Leo Messi finally proved he was a good player by scoring against a team he rarely plays against. Elsewhere, there is time to tackle Bayern's easy win, Manchester United's trip to Spain and Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk before some foolish predictions, that are almost certainly going to come back to bite, are made. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about the Bundesliga. Germany's top division recently had its first ever Monday night game and it did not go down well with the fans around the country. Konstantin is on hand to talk about that as well as the future for German football. Finally, this weekend sees the first domestic trophy being handed out in England as Manchester City take on Arsenal in the League Cup final. Will it be the first link in Pep Guardiola's quadruple chain? Or will Arsenal be on hand to spoil the party. Dan has the answers to that a lot more. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week’s podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom’s André Gonçalves and Alex Mott. And there is so so much to talk about. They kick off with the all the Champions League games and, to be exact, the big one: Real Madrid v PSG. It was billed as Ronaldo versus Neymar but it is obvious which one came out on top. But where and why did it all go right for Madrid and wrong for PSG? The crew have the answers to that and more. With that done, it is time to chat about Spurs’ magnificent comeback against Juventus as well as Manchester City’s crushing of Basel and Liverpool’s even better crushing of Porto. And finally, it is time to turn attentions to LaLiga. You may think it’s all about Barcelona and Real Madrid but there are plenty of other interesting stories going on and one of the best of the season concerns Eibar. Elsewhere, the crew ponder the chances of a proper title race and clear up AOB in Spain’s top division.

This week on the podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by podcast debutants Alex Mott and Francesco Porzio. Reigning Premier League champions Chelsea suffered their second humbling defeat on the bounce on Monday evening. Is this the end of Antonio Conte and if so, who should Roman Abramovich be looking to replace him with? Elsewhere in England, there was an incredible game of football at Anfield on Sunday, but were the two very contentious refereeing decisions the most compelling argument for video technology yet? There’s also the small matter of the North London derby to look forward to at Wembley this weekend. Harry Kane v Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who will prevail? Over in Italy, there’s a proper title race going on. Can Napoli break Juve’s Scudetto hegemony and what’s going wrong at the two Milan giants? And with all that nonsense out of the way, it’s time to look ahead to the glorious return of the Champions League. Who will make it through to the last eight and who, if anyone, could be the team to prise the trophy from Real Madrid’s cold, dead hands?

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Daniel Cadena Jordan. The January transfer window is done and dusted. And what a spectacular transfer window it was, with so much happening in the final day. The team analyse all the biggest deals and give their verdicts on how they think the deals will go. In the midst if all the transfer news, you might be surprised to learn that some actual football happened in the Premier League and, you might also be surprised to learn, there is a heck of a lot to talk about whether it be the tackles on Manchester City's players or the poor performance of Manchester United – yes the Onefootball podcast is part of the global media bias against Manchester United – or the rebirth of Swansea. With all that done, it is time to turn our attentions to MLS and the new franchise launched by David Beckham on Monday. Daniel is in place to give a brief history of football in southern Florida as well as a timeline of the deal and much more. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to [email protected] or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose, Emilie Rauschütz and Andrea Agostinelli. First up is the topic that is on everyone's lips for January: transfers! Alexis Sánchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have finally swapped clubs but who is getting the better deal? The team debate that one before moving onto to the rest of the latest transfer news. After that it is time to go continental and talk about some of the troubles at PSG and just what is going with Neymar? With that done, we do our best to explain the Uefa Nations League and then it is off to the Bundesliga. The title race may be over but there is plenty to talk about at the bottom of the league, as well as with Bayern's latest signing. Finally, it has been so long since we talked all about Serie A, so it is time to correct that. Will Napoli win the league? Why are Roma selling their best players? Is Rafinha able to help Inter? Andrea is on hand to answer all that and more.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's André Gonçalves and Lewis Ambrose once again. First up is the topic that is on everyone's lips at the moment: the future of Alexis Sánchez. He is obviously on his way out of Arsenal but now that Manchester City are out of the race, where will he end up? Chelsea? Manchester United? And how would he fit into those teams if he does go there? After that, the other big move on the horizon is Arsenal's move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But why is he on his way out of Dortmund? And is he really the right player for the north London side? The team have their say on that and that awkward Ryan Giggs video. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about Real Madrid. They are now closer to the relegation zone in LaLiga than they are to Barcelona at the top of the table. But where is it all going wrong? Up front? at the back? In the middle? On the bench? Off the field? With that done, there is just enough time to get some appreciation in for the retiring Ronaldinho.

In this week’s podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom’s André Gonçalves and Lewis Ambrose. You know it’s January when it’s dark outside, everyone is depressed and there are more transfer stories than you can shake a stick at. With that in mind, it is time to talk all about the biggest deals so far, including (but not limited to) Coutinho’s move to Barcelona, Virgil van Dijk’s transfer to Liverpool and Ross Barkley to Chelsea. With that done, there are questions from listeners to be answered and there are questions re Arsenal to be answered. Arsène Wenger’s side are now out of the title race, out of the Champions League and out of the FA Cup. If he were to leave in the summer, would the club be in a worse state than when he arrived? And was he wrong to have a pop at the referees and their treatment of the north London club?

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan and Emilie Rauschütz. They get down to business by starting with the biggest game of the weekend and maybe of the season: El Clásico! What are the talking points for each side? Where will the game be won and lost? And a whole lot of other questions are put out there to be fawned over like a spoiled cat. With that done, it's time to move onto the second biggest game of the week (sorry, Arsenal v Liverpool): Der Klassiker! What has changed so far under Peter Stöger?

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and André Gonçalves and there is so, so much to talk about. They start off by previewing the biggest game of the Premier League season so far, the 175th Manchester derby. Dan wants to heap praise on Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph but there are questions (and worries) surrounding City's forward duo. United also have some worries of their own. Without Paul Pogba, how is José Mourinho going to set up his side? We also answer your questions about the big game. With that done, it is time to move onto to the biggest (individual) prize in (the team sport) of football: the Ballon d'or. By now, we all know who is going to win but if he, or the only other two players who could win don't, who would be a worthy winner? Speaking of winning, that is not something Real Madrid have been doing a lot of lately. André breaks down why that is happening. And there is more. Daniel Issroff phones in from New York to give us his previews ahead of Saturday's MLS Cup final between Toronto and Seattle. He also has his say on the whole ordeal with Columbus Crew.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose and Andrea Agostinelli. They start by addressing the much-expected sacking of Vincenzo Montella. Was it the right thing to do? And what is the future for Milan after this? The Serie A fun does not stop there as there is loads to talk about from the pointless Benevento to the huge game on Friday night that sees Napoli take on Juventus. With that done, it is time to talk Bundesliga and what a weekend it was there. There was that 4-4 draw, there was Bayern losing their first game under Jupp Heynckes and the continued poor form of Köln – they have played 13 games and picked up two points. Yikes. And there is more. Friend of the pod and French football expert Andrew Gibney is on the phone to talk about all that is going on with Ligue 1 from the big game at the weekend that saw PSG beat Monaco to the rebirth of Lyon and Memphis Depay.

In this week’s podcast, Dan Burke is joined behind the mic by the Onefootball newsroom’s Konstantin Keller and Nathalia Araújo. We now know who will be participating in next summer’s World Cup but the most glaring omission from the 32-team list is Italy. What has happened to the Italian game and is Gian Piero Ventura the most stubborn coach in the history of international football? One nation who will be dazzling us in Russia next summer is Brazil, however, and Nathalia talks us through where it’s all gone right for the Verde Amarela since that 7-1 defeat by Germany at the last World Cup, how Neymar’s world record transfer to PSG went down in his homeland and why Gabriel Jesus is definitely the new Ronaldo. Next up, Phil Costa from Tifo Football got on the blower to talk all things North London derby. Is Arsène Wenger’s time up at Arsenal? Have the Gunners got a chance this weekend? And can Spurs – or, indeed, anybody – catch Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title? There was also some reminiscing about the best match the panel have ever witnessed in the flesh and even a rare bit of Berlin football chat for once.

In this week’s podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by the Onefootball newsroom’s Tobi Herrmann and Andrea Agostinelli. They start the show by reflecting on another thrilling weekend of action across Europe, specifically in the German Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A. Why did Bayern Munich find it so easy to beat Borussia Dortmund? Are RB Leipzig genuine title challengers? And is the Video Assistant Referee more hassle than it’s worth? Over in Italy, Andrea assesses the main contenders for the Scudetto – including his beloved AC Milan – and tries to get to the bottom of the myriad of problems for poor, poor Benevento. Then it’s time to talk international football. Andrea confidently predicts Italy will get through their play-off with Sweden without a hitch, Tobi confidently predicts Germany will retain the World Cup and English Dan is naturally pessimistic about the Three Lions chances of doing anything. Plus, the panel discuss who they’d pick to take a penalty to save their lives.

In this week's podcast, caretaker manager Dan Burke is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose and Emilie Rauschütz. They start the show by reflecting on an exciting week of Champions League action, specifically Tottenham's terrific trouncing of Real Madrid at Wembley, magnificent Man City's win away at Napoli and boring, boring Barça. With that out of the way, it's time to look ahead to a huge game in the Bundesliga as champions Bayern Munich travel to Borussia Dortmund in a fixture the locals like to call Der Klassiker. Where has it all gone right for Jupp Heynckes, what's happened to Dortmund lately and will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ever score again? Meanwhile, in the Premier League there's a bona fide Super Sunday to look forward to as Chelsea host Manchester United and Arsenal travel to Manchester City. Can Chelsea bounce back from their hammering in Rome, does Jose Mourinho have a duty to entertain us, is the title already Manchester City's to lose and will the Gunners be on the wrong end of a cricket score? Plus, there's a tricky trivia question to get your teeth into and even a bit of Scottish football chat for once.

In our latest podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and André Gonçalves They start off this week's pod by getting on the phone with Merseyside journalist Richard Buxton to talk about the sacking of Ronald Koeman. Where did it all go wrong? Is Koeman solely to blame? What next for Everton? Richard has the answers to that and more. With that done and dusted, it is time to talk Chelsea. They have had an odd start to the season. Even if they are doing OK in the Champions League, their league form is not what it should be and there are serious rumours of dressing-room unrest. But is it a crisis just yet? And finally, after getting through some of your questions, it is time to turn attentions to La Liga. There are some interesting stories developing there involving Atlético Madrid, Valencia and the future of Barcelona and Leo Messi. (Also: Dan explains why he would take Kevin De Bruyne over Leo Messi!). All of that and more is tackled like Vinnie Jones on Steve McMahon (Kids: ask your fathers=

In our latest podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose and Daniel Issroff. They start off this week's pod by getting down and dirty with Dortmund's defeat at the weekend. It was their first loss at home in 41 games and it came in some controversial circumstances. That is all analysed before moving on to the rest of the interesting action in Germany over the weekend including Hertha's taking of a knee and Bayern's win. With that done, it is time to look at the Premier League and the genius that is Kevin De Bruyne. He was incredible in Manchester City's thumping of Stoke but is he the best player in the Premier League? Elsewhere there was an almost to-be-expected defeat for Arsenal and some really incredible quotes from Troy Deeney. With that done and dusted, it is time to talk Champions League. One of the biggest fixtures of this group of games is in Spain and it involves Real Madrid welcoming Tottenham Hotspur to the Santiago Bernabéu. That is previewed along with some of the other tasty Champions League treats like City v Napoli and Sporting v Juventus.

Danny has the answers.

In our latest podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Lewis Ambrose They start off this week's pod by (talking about the Krays!) marvelling over the marvellous Álvaro Morata and assessing his hat-trick against a poor Stoke side. With that done, it's time to analyse the Diego Costa transfer, before moving on to the so-called crisis with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and coming back to the Premier League and assessing Coutinho and his goal at weekend – by assessing we mean, saying it was not all that good! With that out of the way, it is time to talk Champions League. We answer the big questions. Are Napoli this year's Monaco? Are Dortmund good enough to take on and beat Madrid?

He is the man who ensured that Nottingham has more European Cups than London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow and Rome combined.
