This week we take a closer look at Barcelona's confusing finances (recorded last week), and also do a little deep dive into what to expect from the Serie A (Cam) and La Liga (Rupert) this season.

In this episode the Analysts take a look at the first week of the 22/23 season. Who impressed and who underwhelmed? What're Rupert's quickfire first impressions? 

Following on from last week, we take a look at who we think will finish in the bottom half of the table - and where. Will the newly promoted sides stay up? Who already looks like they're in trouble, and who might well exceed expectations? One thing's for sure - we've definitely got some rogue calls in here. 

In this episode, the Analysts begin their preview of the 22/23 Premier League season, with a prediction of which teams will finish in the top ten. Are the current top two more out of reach than any other in Premier League history? Who's had the best window so far to prepare themselves for the oncoming season? Will Newcastle shake things up with their new ownership?

In this episode, the Analysts take a look at FIFA's decision to allow the unilateral suspension of contracts for players and coaches currently in Ukraine, what it means for the individuals, the clubs and the fans. Also up for discussion is the EFL's compulsory streaming edict, which will see all games in Leagues One and Two streamed during the World Cup and on Bank Holidays: how will this affect revenue streams for the smaller clubs, and is it fair? 

With preseasons starting and transfers bubbling under the surface, the new football calendar is shaking off the dust and starting to whir into motion. Bringing you some of the more interesting signings thus far, and some first glimpses at players lining up for their new teams.

Big moves have already been made in the new transfer window, with Liverpool and Man City already bolstering their ranks with new exciting attackers for the new season. Young players broke through last year as well, and we go over our picks for the best young newcomer, or 'Rookie', of last season.

In this episode, the Analysts each construct their Teams of the Season for the 21/22 PL campaign…but with a twist! Only one player may be selected from each club to make things interesting. Which stars miss out, and which overlooked gems get their praise?

Not much else to do this week but catch up with ALL the football that's been going on over the last few weeks. The script writers really outdid themselves this year, with compelling narratives going up to the very last day of the season both in Europe and all over the Premier League.
