I am joined by Andrew to talk about the Champions League 22/23 round of 16 and look ahead to the quarter finals. We chatted through all the fixtures, the matchups, our expectations for the ties and the teams. Some chat about increasing unrest at UEFA fixtures (Napoli Frankfurt), Liverpool's position, some of my words for Señor Guardiola, tiny Toni Kroos shaped tangent

Joined once again by fellow United sufferer, sorry I mean fan, Kevin, and we finally talked about Manchester United *exclusively*, sort of.
After going on a sight Bayern v United tangent (02:45) we spoke about the expectations v the reality of United's 21/22 season (04:30), the Champions League campaign so far and thoughts on the round of 16 tie (15:58) with a slight detour at Ajax of course. Back on course with Premier League chat and thoughts on Ralf Rangnick so far (34:15) before talking (belatedly) about the January transfer window (45:06). Finally we cast our eyes on the uncertain future of who will be in the Manchester United dugout from 22/23 and the upcoming fixtures (1:09:07).

We talk about Leipzig and PSG's woes in Group A (02:38), try to make sense of the so-called group of death B (15:34) and then discuss how Dortmund keep doing Dortmund things (24:00). Are Bayern truly unstoppable (32:00) and is F actually the most equally matched group this season (53:06)? Young German strikers serving up the goods in group G (1:08:41) topped up with some bad and some surprisingly balanced takes (1:15:56).

In today's episode? Liverpool! I am joined by Andrew representing the Klopp society and we take a trip down memory lane (02:50), talk about Klopp's revival of Liverpool (05:25) and also re-examine Liverpool's title winning season (10:30). What is Liverpool up to this season (17:21) and how can the squad be strengthened (24:03)? After the break, we discuss Klopp's Liverpool legacy so far (41:03), how Liverpool's transfer window has played out (47:06) before getting a bit concerned about Liverpool's home grown player quota and the direction of the academy (53:30). We give Virgil his well deserved credit (01:09:53) before capping it all off with now out dated but still fun Chelsea v Liverpool predictions (01:14:10), Champions League group draw predictions (01:19:11) and some hot takes for the road (01:28:20)
