Hey everyone! We’ve put together this Patreon sampler episode, featuring three parts from three episodes that went up on over the last month or so.

Up first, from April 9th, is Musa and Ryan talking about the Artemis II mission, space and how it inspired a much needed sense of wonder (02:19).

Then, it’s onto a section from our special Johan Cruyff episode (14:47), which aired March 26th, the week of the tenth anniversary of his passing.

Finally, there’s a clip from our interview with Scroobius Pip, where he talks about his move into acting, as well as working with Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham (30:47).

Musa and Ryan begin with Union Berlin appointing Marie-Louise Eta as interim head coach of their men’s team until the end of the season (02:46).

Eta becomes the first woman to take charge of a men’s team in Europe’s top five leagues, but is no stranger to the Union dugout, having already been a trailblazer for many years already. So, they chat about why the appointment makes so much sense and how it could pave the way for other clubs to do the same in the future.

They then move onto the Premier League title race (15:05), after a weekend where Manchester City closed the gap on Arsenal, following the Gunners’ home defeat to Bournemouth and City’s win away at Chelsea. And not to say Ryan’s taking it badly, but he did volunteer to go to the moon and has talked about starting a golf podcast.

Down the other end of the table, it got worse for Spurs, as they slipped into the relegation zone on Friday night, thanks to West Ham’s impressive win over Wolves, and stayed their following their own defeat to Sunderland.

This weekend’s FA Cup featured some very special moments and Musa and Ryan are joined by Aniefiok Ekpoudom to focus on Southampton reaching Wembley for the semifinal (02:29), following their win over Arsenal at St. Mary’s.

Aniefiok is a Southampton fan and was there on Saturday to witness one of the highlights of an interesting season for Saints, in which they are also celebrating 50 years since they won the FA Cup.

They then shoutout Leeds’ penalty shootout win over West Ham (34:29), which saw them into the semifinals for the first time in 39 years, plus big wins for Chelsea and Manchester City (45:44). There’s also chat about Liverpool, plus a quick round-up of some other results from the weekend!

Spurs and Igor Tudor parted ways this weekend, by mutual consent, so Musa and Ryan discuss the position the club now finds itself in. With the threat of relegation now very real for Spurs, while also being set to hire their third manager of the season, they chat about what they do next and whether this is fixable in the short term.

There’s also a quick round-up of some weekend results, where Union Berlin secured a place in next season’s Frauen Bundesliga, while Manchester City and Arsenal won their derbies in the WSL, the NWSL attendance record was broken on the first time of asking in Denver and more.

It feels like we say this almost every week, but it was another big weekend, so Musa and Ryan begin by shouting out Japan’s win in the Women’s Asian Cup final, before heading to Wembley.

Pep Guardiola became the most successful manager in League Cup history, thanks to Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday (04:57). There’s chat about Guardiola getting it right and what impact it will have on the rest of the season.

Elsewhere in England, there was a huge Tyne-Wear derby (30:32), as well as Nottingham Forest winning the six-pointer at Spurs and great wins for Everton and Brighton.

There’s a shout out for the Bundesliga (46:02), then chat about a wild Madrid derby (49:31) and much, much more!

With huge results up and down the table, as well as a record broken in dramatic fashion, it felt like the biggest weekend in the Premier League season so far.

Musa and Ryan chat about Arsenal’s win over Everton, where Max Dowman came on, changed the game and became the Premier League’s youngest ever goalscorer, in a late 2-0 win.

It was made even more important due to West Ham and Manchester City’s 1-1 draw, which was a huge result for Nuno Espírito Santo, but a costly one for Pep Guardiola. The same scoreline happened at Anfield, where Spurs equalised late against Liverpool, to stop their losing streak.

There's chat about Michael Carrick’s Manchester United, who bounced back with an impressive win over Aston Villa, before a quick bit on the week coming up for Arsenal and Manchester City. They then quickly head to Europe, for an Arda Güler wonder goal, a Barcelona win, some Serie A and a few more shoutouts.

Musa’s on his travels, so there’s a bit of chat up top about him leaning into a Stadio bit.

Then he and Ryan chat about this weekend’s FA Cup fifth round (07:17), which saw another amazing result for Port Vale, who knocked out Sunderland. Southampton also caused an upset, with a late win at Fulham, while Arsenal got past an impressive Mansfield side. 

They round up the rest of the results, which saw Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds and Manchester City progress, before a quick trip to Germany (22:13) to shout out some results and chat briefly about the news that Julian Brandt will leave Dortmund at the end of the season.

Then it’s time to turn the attention to the Derby della Madonnina (30:13), where Milan completed the double over Inter for the first time since 2010/11, reducing the lead at the top of Serie A to seven points, with ten games to go.

Finally, there’s a Champions League look ahead (40:52), with the round of 16 first legs taking place this week.

After some chat up top, Musa and Ryan begin with Bayern’s 3-2 win at Dortmund (06:02) to open up an eleven point gap at the top of the Bundesliga. They then round up some other results around Europe, before heading to the Premier League (19:24).

There’s chat about Arsenal’s win over Chelsea, where all three goals were set pieces, Manchester United going third, as well as some of the other results, most of which also contained set pieces. There’s also chat about Arne Slot’s comments about… set pieces (40:31), and how they’re making the Premier League tougher to watch. 

Finally, the new law changes were outlined by IFAB this weekend, so there are some thoughts on the ones that will be introduced at this summer’s World Cup (51:41).

There’s some important admin up top, but once that’s all out of the way, Musa and Ryan turn their attention to the Premier League title race once more after what felt like a very important few days.

They begin with Arsenal’s 4-1 win at Spurs in the North London derby (03:53), which saw them maintain a five point lead at the top of the Premier League. There’s chat about braces for Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres and the response of Mikel Arteta’s side, following the draw at Wolves in midweek.

There’s a bit of chat about Spurs’ position in the table and whether they can realistically go down (24:29), before heading to Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday (30:30), plus some thoughts about the title race in general.

After a quick round-up of the rest of the Premier League, they wrap up results elsewhere (49:07), including La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue and more!

The Derby d’Italia this weekend felt crucial in the race for this year’s Scudetto. 

Musa and Ryan chat about Inter leaving it late to beat Juventus (05:03), who were down to ten for the entire second half at San Siro, after a very controversial second yellow for Pierre Kalulu. It took a brilliant winner from Piotr Zieliński to win the game and send Inter eight points clear of the top, thanks to Napoli’s draw with Roma. 

In the middle of all that, there’s a big detour about manager’s first touches and player showboating (17:39), before chatting about Igor Tudor becoming the Tottenham Hotspur men’s interim head coach (34:53). 

Finally, there’s a round-up (45:33) featuring La Liga, Bundesliga, FA Cup, a rare case of a spiritually onside goal actually counting and Mo Salah doing his bit for content.
