It's Friday and that means Anglo Italian Pod time! This week we start with a big announcement as we officially become part of The Sport Social Pod Network, we are delighted to start this partnership and let you know what it means for the pod! We want to take this chance to thank everyone who has listened and supported so far and welcome any new listeners aboard, Benvenuti!

This week we start with news from around the footballing world as we discuss John Yems and why there is no more room for people like him in the game and what lessons can be learnt from this process. We reflect on a fascinating interview with Jesse Lingard and discuss how it could or should change our attitudes and approaches towards professional athletes.

Then we turn our attention to Anglo Italian matters, United dropping points to Palace, Spurs being Spurs and Gnonto starting to tear it up in Yorkshire, there is lots to discuss. Then we look at SuperCoppa Derby action as Inter take the bragging rights, is Inazghi doing a better job than people think? How can Milan stop the rot? And we of course discuss Coppa Italia action as Cremonese finally beat Serie A opposition and we have our old Atalanta back!

Arrivederci!
