Liam returns to form a usual lineup this week on the Footb'OL English Podcast as the lads discuss another defeat for OL against struggling Strasbourg including big moments for Toko Ekambi. On a more serious note, the lads dissect the club's gross negligence and management of former OL feminin player Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir's pregnancy and the image this creates for the club's unpopular management with Vincent Ponsot the main culprit. 

Sara tells her story eloquently in an in-depth article for The Player's Tribune. We highly recommend reading the article, if you haven't already. You can read it here: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/sara-bjork-gunnarsdottir-soccer-pregnancy

In this episode, the lads discuss back-to-back victories against Montpellier and Lille after a baron spell without a win. Beyond just two victories, the performances of Lacazette and the style under Blanc are also discussed. Looking to the future, the guys also discuss this week's Olympico against Marseille and how OL can capitalise on OM's sketchy run of form.

In this episode, the lads discuss the first game of a new era at OL with new manager Laurent Blanc taking charge against Rennes. Despite a new manager and formation, OL couldn't manage a victory against former manager Genesio with former OL forwards Gouiri and Terrier having a hand in a 3-2 defeat. With another loss on a barren spell without a win, the lads discuss Blanc and what the result means moving forward. 

DISCLAIMER - this was recorded before the Montpellier game. This will be dissected along with the match against Lille in the next episode.

In the ninth episode of the Footb'OL English Podcast, things are all change at OL after a run which has seen the club go 5 matches without victory - a run which includes four defeats against European rivals. After a draw with Toulouse, Aulas and the board decided that it was the right time to dispatch of Bosz and replace him with former PSG and France manager Laurent Blanc as his successor. In this episode, the lads analyse Bosz's last game in charge and what we can expect from new boss Blanc.

In the eighth episode this season of the Footb'OL English podcast, the lads are once again analysing another defeat after a Thiago Mendes handball led to a decisive penalty which saw Lens secure a 1-0 victory. This defeat is the fourth on the spin for OL - their worst record since 1991. With the World Cup looming, Bosz's 30-point target and whether he is a dead man walking are all discussed.
