A new week, new episode and this week we have an expert on women's football! RADHA GUPTA! The founder of She Talks Ball, a platform meant for promoting women in sports, she is an ardent football fan and supports Chelsea FC. And unlike the majority of Chelsea fans, she started supporting the club because of the Chelsea Women’s Team. We discuss the UEFA Women's Champions League Final that took place on 16th May 2021, between Chelsea FC Women and FC Barcelona Femini. We ask Radha for her honest reactions, rational takeaways, and what it means for the future of her team and women's football in general! 

In this episode we discuss:

Sit back, relax and enjoy our misguided football opinions. :)

A new week, a new episode! This week, we present a brand new segment that was under works for a very long time - CLUB PROFILES! We are joined by a very special guest making his debut on our pod - Siddhant Sonawane. Together we embark on a deep dive into Sid's favorite club - the Catalan giants, FC Barcelona! We explore a plethora of topics, including the La Liga title race, La Masia and of course, the all important question in every Culer's mind at the moment - should Leo Messi stay or go? Stick around towards the end for a special mini-ranking by our premiere guest for a topic not so close to any Barca fan's heart! We also re-introduce Hot Takes, a short topical discussion on an event in the football realm. This week - it's the Portuguese maestro Jose Mourinho announcing a return to the Italian capital. 

In this episode we cover:

- Jose Mourinho's return to Rome - a step in the right direction or a fall from grace?

On 18th April 2021, reports started pouring in from various sources that something about a new competition, the European Super League (ESL) was cooking amidst 12 ‘elite’ clubs, that started the most calamitous, exciting, shocking and revolutionary 72 hours in the world of football. It sparked a range of emotions – anger, fear, hate, disappointment – and brought out something in the realm of football which is seen very rarely – unity. The event was so catastrophic, that a particular manager’s sacking amidst the chaos seemed miniscule in comparison! However the league, as of now, stands close to being dissolved now with huge uproar from admirers of the beautiful game. In this episode of Football Off-Target, we deep dive into the details of the proposed league, developments, reactions and consequences of trying to make it happen, and the standing of the league as of date. We commence a new segment of ‘Questions of the Legion’, where listeners send in their questions for discussion and perspectives. We also discuss about ‘Narratives’ and what could have possibly been the true intentions of all parties surrounding the ESL.

In this episode we discuss about:
