Welcome listeners, it's Friday, it's nearly the weekend and that means it's time for your favourite football podcast! Ruairi and Tommi are here to take you through all the midweek action in Italy and England before previewing the weekend's fixtures!
We start by taking a look through a hectic week in Serie A, Is D'Ambrosio undervalued? Is Allegri an enemy of football? What exactly is a red card? All these questions are attempted to be answered. We then turn the blimp towards England where suddenly the League Cup is great again! Man City are hammered out on penalties, Sunderland fans finally get a bit of luck and we attempt to not jinx Arsenal for the 3,454,654th time this year.
Then for our weekly Topic we are joined by regular and friend of the show AFC Finners for ur monthly look back at english football history, and this time we are looking back at the life and times of the late great Jimmy Greaves, which modern player is he most like? What went wrong for him in Italy? Why is he such a national treasure? And what is his legacy? We hope it is a fitting tribute to a great man.
FInally we have our Minute til Kick off Quiz, with the scores at 16-10 to Ruairi can Tommi make up ground when he is quizzed on Champions League history? Sit back, relax and find out!
