The Premier League is off to a storming start! Ali is joined by Fergal, George, and Harry to discuss the opening game week of the 2021/2022 Premier League season, and there's loads to cover. Fergal tells us about his experience watching his Chelsea win the UEFA Super Cup in Belfast, then we get stuck in to the seemingly never-ending Kane to City saga, and the Spurs win over City. We wrap up the game week's action, including a brilliant Man United win over Leeds, Liverpool's comfortable start, having fans back in the ground, and another Harry rant about his Arsenal!

A glorious month of football has come to a painful end. England's best-ever Euros performance has ended on the sour note of losing in the penalty shootout.

The band is back together as Harry joins George, Fergal, and Ali, to discuss the Final of EURO 2020 24 hours after the fact. We discuss team selection, the tale of two halves, and try to rationalize the penalty taker selections which concluded in young Bukayo Saka having the decisive penalty saved, to win the Euros for Italy. And we end with an our All-Important Impromptu Very Professionally Selected Just Another Football Podcast EURO 2020 Team of the Tournament!

Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast throughout the Euros. We will be back after a short break and over the summer, ahead of the start of the new Premier League season in a month's time.

In this episode, Ali, George, and Fergal are joined by a good friend of the pod who featured on the Patriots Pod, Fergus Collins, also known as FJC. We recap the glorious occasion that was the semi-finals, look back at some of the themes from England vs Denmark, including how England managed to regain tactical control after a rough period in the first half, the Raheem Sterling foul that led to the penalty, Jordan Pickford, Kane's role, and much more. We then look back at a missed opportunity for Spain, where they were arguably better than Italy, who won it on penalties thanks to the special, slightly bizarre Jorginho technique, which we try to figure out why it's so effective and successful. We move on to look forward to the final, including how England should lineup, where Italy's threats will come from, and how to limit them. Then, our all-important score predictions. Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who followed along throughout the EUROs, and good luck to every England fan listening to this. C'MON ENGLAND, and cheers to positivity.

In this weeks episode, I'm joined by Ali, Fergal and George to react to England's thumping 4-0 win vs Ukraine to send them into the semi final of Euro 2020. There's some praise for Luke Shaw, as well as acknowledgment for Southgate getting his tactics spot on once more. Then, there's some analysis on Italy, Spinazzola, Jorginho (and whether he's in contention for the Ballon D'or?!!), and then a very interesting discussion on injuries and player welfare following the revelation that Kevin De Bruyne played the game for Belgium with an ankle ligament injury. We finish off with some predictions for the upcoming semi finals. Enjoy!
