The Anglo-Italian Pod

Season 02 - Ep. 22 - Arsène's modest proposal


Listen Later

What kind of Friday would it be without your favourite football pod?!

We are back ladies and gentlemen, and what could we possibly start with if not the international break? Of course, the Azzurri make our headlines after their woeful scoreless draw in Belfast which now means one thing, and one thing only: playoffs... Will they be able to overcome the competition for the three remaining European spots? They might as well, but both Ruairi and Tommi think that finding a reliable striker would be of paramount importance. In other news, England make super light work of their group and punch their ticket to Qatar 2022 together with a very exciting list of European and South American nations.

It's then time to preview the Serie A and Premier League weekends because club football is finally back! Liverpool-Arsenal, Inter-Napoli and much, much more... what will you be watching?

In a shorter-than-usual Weekly Topic we then take a look at Arsène Wenger's proposal for a new international calendar that might as well revolutionise football as we know it. So, here's the pod's two cents on how we feel about it...

And finally, finally, it's time for what could be the very last One Minute to Kickoff: Quiz! This time around, Ruairi needs only one point to be crowned winner. But will he be able to do it...? Listen up and find out!
