Episode #7 Part 1: Barcelona

This is the FFS Podcast! Welcome to Episode #7 - a three part episode about the European Summer Transfer Window. We begin with Part 1 - Barcelona!

“Show me the money!” Well, Barcelona certainly did that this summer window, having splashed roughly 250 m euros worth of cash on players, including a whopping 120 m on Antoine Griezmann. The question still remains, however, as to whether Messi and Co. would finally be able to bring the prestigious European trophy back home to the Camp Nou. Or perhaps yet another second leg debacle awaits them in the knockout stages. To discuss permutations and combinations, joining me on this podcast is a Barcelona buff - Aniruddha Talukdar.

Episode #5: Unai's the Man(ager) with the Plan

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"

This is the FFS Podcast! Welcome to Episode #5. After his team’s slightly improved yet disappointing display at Anfield last week, Unai Emery found himself in the middle of a heated debate amongst pundits and supporters. The reason? His adoption of a much maligned diamond formation against Liverpool. Continuing the argument, on today's episode, we discuss Emery's tactical tweaks, debate over his footballing philosophy, and speculate his decision for this week's North London Derby against Champions League finalists - Tottenham Hotspurs.
