It's Monday/Tuesday and that means it's Anglo Italian Pod time! This week Ruairi and Adam take you through ALL the weekend's action!

There is only one place to start, the Derby della Madonnina, as Inter turn both the city and Milan black and blue! What do the boys make of Pioli's team selection? Where are the weak points for Milan? And what is going on with Leao? For Inter it's much cheerier, Post-World Cup Martinez, Skriniar making a great end and Onana providing security. Elsewhere in Serie A we discuss a ruthless Napoli, Roma pushing on, Sassuolo rescuing themselves and Lecce continuing to impress.

Then it's Premier League time, we start with a bad weekend for City only made worse on the Monday, Spurs continuing their record vs the Cityzens and what the future could hold for Pep and his boys, we look at the return of Dyche, a faltering Arsenal and the departures of Marsch and soon to be Jones, and what this means for the relegation picture.

It's Friday so it's Anglo Italian Pod time! And it's a transfer window special!

This week Ruairi and Adam take you through ALL the deals from across the window, and to start we are joined by Interista, Calcio expert and all round legend Uncle Sharma, as we discuss Skriniar, Inter's strategy and who could be next to go. We then take a look at the winners, losers, the ones to keep an eye on and the ones we think are doomed to fail. We then take a look forward to the weekend and look at the Derby della Madonnina, with Milan in all sorts of mess and Inter fresh off a recent 3-0 victory over them, can Milan restore some pride? Or will Inter make it smooth sailing? Then there is just enough time to give Cremonese some flowers and hope that they don't get the record they're currently on course for.

In the next section it's Premier League time and well, where do we start? From Chelsea outspending Europe and most small nation's defence budgets where does it leave the market? We talk the winners, losers, ones to keep an eye on and the ones doomed to fail once again. Which side of Liverpool did worse? Which bottom half team is building now and for the future? And which team is pushing to make this an even more special season? There's a lot to cover here! Then it's just time to preview the Premier League weekend with a West London Derby and Dyche ready to rejuvenate Everton...maybe.

Adam, Andy and Ruairi take you through all the weekend's action, starting in Serie A and in Naples and the Derby della Sole doesn't disappoint, Roma go toe to toe but Osimhen and Cholito break their hearts, but what about the teams in trouble? Well Milan are embarrassed at home as everything is on fire around Pioli and Juve get beaten at home by a rising Monza, did the players get what Silvio promised? We then take a quick look at the relelgation picture and who could be dragged in?

Then it's FA Cup time, starting at the AMEX where the refs seemed to have taken a Sunday off, as did Liverpool but Mitoma certainly didn't! Then we go to North Wales to discuss Wrexham, their rise and how close they came, and there is just enpugh time to talk City squeezing past Arsenal and United getting the job done vs Reading,

It's Friday and that means Anglo Italian Pod time!

This week there wasn't much football, but don't fear there was still plenty to cover.

We start in Milan as both sides of the city face a drop in form. Lazio dismantle Milan in Rome, are we seeing Sarri getting the best out of Lazio more consistently? What does it mean for Milan and where do they need to strengthen? Then it's time for the Nerazzurri as they suffer a shock loss to Empoli at the San Siro and have we seen Skriniar in Serie A for the last time? We compare both sides of the city's approaches to squad building and what does it tell us about where they are trying to get to?

Next it's time for the Carabao Cup, starting in the midlands as United batter Forest, surely they are in the final now? Which players stood out and has Anthony broken the transfer market? Then, Newcastle continue their cleansheet run, but should they have conceded? Joelinton gave them the win but should it have been more comfortable?

To end the first part of the show we discuss some Tranfer nonsense, it's been a bad week for Everton...shock, where does this leave them? And we discuss The Cherries ambition as they make a move for Nicolo Zaniolo, and finally we talk the financial misbalance across the European leagues, is the Super League already here? What can be done to make the leagues in Europe able to compete with the PL?

Then finally to end the show we previes the weekend's action, Derby della Sole in Italy and Manchester City vs Arsenal in the FA Cup and we give you our potential upsets of the weekend.

It was Blue Monday but everything felt red! This week Adam and Ruairi were once again joined by Andy and it was great to have him back, just in time to talk a derby win? Surely just a coincidence.

To start the pod off we talk our footballing weekends before turning our attention to Serie A and we can only start in one place, Napoli, as they dismantle and destroy a Juve team on a streak to cement their place as the best team in Serie A, who were the difference makers? And where was the game won and lost? We then discuss getting a glimpse of the old Atalanta back as they hit a crazy scoreline against an accomodating Salernitana, then to wrap up we talk Roma and Dybala starting to come up when needed, but who do Fiorentina have? And finally Milan swap roles as they come back this time against a stubborn opposition.

Then it's Premier League time, Ruairi and Andy both chomping at the bit to was lyrical about derby wins, but we start up north in Manchester as Rashford continues his incredible form to seal the win, but that first goal, should it have stood? Then we talk Arsenal stepping up another gear to stroll past Spurs who now look a little bit lost, do they need to go back to go forward? Then we wrap up our Premier League review with a look at the Mudryk deal and what it means for football.

It's the first Friday show of 2023 and listeners it's a bumper one!

We start off by giving Odegaard his flowers and does he have a shout at POTS? And we discuss players who are doing it for the love of the game in both Italy and Spain.

We then round up ALL of the cup action from both the EFL Cup and the Coppa Italia, with shocks in both has it been a good week for both competitions? How much does it mean to the teams left in it? From ten-man Torino stunning the Rossoneri to the Saints slicing open City there is LOTS to discuss and who do we want to win it?

Then we preview this weekend's action starting in Serie A in Naples for the top of the table clash, is Napoli's record against Juve better than we thought and where will the key battles on the pitch be won and lost? Then we take a look across the rest of the weekend, Ruairi has a bold prediction, will Roma Fiorentina be a banger? Where has the Polish contingency been expanded? Serie A is really hotting up!

Next it's Premier League time with some HUGE games, starting with the Manchester Derby, can Manchester United end their rotten form against the noisy neighbours or will City get back to winning ways? Is it in fact possible for both teams to lose? Elsewhere we have De Zerbi taking on Liverpool again, are Brighton favourites? A basement battle between Everton and Southampton, is Frank Lampard about to do what no man has done before? Then we have to talk North London Derby, Spurs are hitting form at the right time, but have Harry and Antonio made a grubby deal that could upset things? This derby never disappoints.

Finally we have a quick transfer round-up, should Ruairi be the DOF at Barcelona as the rumours start to verge on the ridiculous, have Manchester United made some good business in bringing Wout in and how has Joao Felix started life at The Bridge?

We hope you enjoy the show people! And as always follow us on Twitter @ItalianAngloPod Insta @AngloItalianPod TikTok, YouTube, we are everywhere!

We. Are. Back! After a hectic Christmas period Ruairi and Adam are back to take you through the return of Serie A & the 3rd round of the F.A Cup.

To start off we say arrivederci to some icons of the game that left us across the festive period, we reflect on careers and lives lived to the fullest from Gianluca Vialli, Pele and Sinisa, we discuss our memories and what these people meant to so many people.

We then turn our attentions to Serie A and it was all about the late drama, 3 2-2s with last minute equalisers! What was the point in Inter beating Napoli now? What did we learn about both Milan and Roma? And was it Karmic justice for Lazio fans after another one of those stories coming out of their fanbase? Then we look towards the scudetto race, with Napoli vs Juve on the horizon what did this weekend tell us about both teams and what can we expect from the game?

Finally we get to talk about our favourite competition, the F.A Cup, it's 3rd round time and there were plenty of shocks, Owls stunning Magpies! Stevenage stunning Emery and Chelsea disgracing themselves (ok maybe that wasn't a surprise) there was plenty of drama for us to pick through.

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @italiananglopod on Instagram @angloitalianpod and give Ruairi a follow on his new account @RuairiSC_TAIP and of course enjoy the show!
