  • Kevin Bridges Part One: Bono, Boca and Boston Accents

    Hola!

    He's back. Our most popular guest of all-time, Kevin Bridges, joins us three-and-a-half years after our first chat in 2015. This time, we talk about how he influenced the outcome of this year's League One Play-off Final; how Noel Gallagher snubbed his invite to the pub to watch Celtic-Inverness Caledonian Thistle with arguably the greatest excuse of all time. Listen up for Kevin talking Boca Juniors, Barca, the original Ronaldo and the MLS.

    Enjoy!

  • David Preece: Viva van der Sar & the Art of Analysis

    Hola Big Interview listeners!

    I've been very excited to bring you my interview with David Preece. When I met him in London, we talked about the art of analysis and, of course, the goalkeepers he most admires.

    David will reveal what he learned while watching FC Barcelona train in Denmark, while he also gives his thoughts on ball-playing goalkeepers like Ederson and Alisson. And David explains why he thinks Edwin van der Sar - and not Peter Schmeichel - is the best goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen.

    When it comes to goalkeeping, David is well worth listening to.

  • Football 2.0: How the World's Best Play the Modern Game

    Hola!

    So, today the Big Interview feed has been hijacked... thankfully, I know the culprits. This is an episode of the Between the Lines podcast - produced by BackPage, those very same dudes who bring you The Big Interview. And this one is a chat between my old mucker Martin BackPage and Grant Wahl, the Sports Illustrated soccer writer, about Grant's excellent book Football 2.0.

    It was recorded before this summer's World Cup. I think you're going to love it. Listen, subscribe to Between the Lines and if you're stuck for a Christmas present, buy the book!

    Cheers

  • Thierry Henry: Take The Ball, Pass The Ball Part Two

    Hola Big Interview listeners!

    And here it is: the second part of my conversation with Thierry Henry, an interview which we included in the film Take The Ball, Pass The Ball.

    Thierry was so energised by the opportunity to talk about FC Barcelona and his time there that I knew I had to share our chat with you. If you haven't listened to part one yet ... then what are waiting for?

    In the second part of this interview, Thierry talks about Lionel Messi, a wonderful segment which includes his description of one of Messi's most majestic and skilful goals.

    Believe me, you don't want to miss this!

    Enjoy.

    Jonathan Northcroft approached the World Cup in Russia this summer with a sense of trepidation. Little did he know that he would fall in love with the football and the country. In Deadlines and Darts with Dele, Jonathan offers a behind-the-scenes view of what it's like to be a frontline reporter at the biggest show on earth. In this episode, he talks to Neil BackPage about how his daily Facebook diary turned into a book; he talks England, access. match reporting, interviewing. If you listen to this podcast to hear the stories behind the stories, you're going to love this conversation.

  • Busquets vs Rodri: Master vs Apprentice

    Hola Big Interview listeners!

    FC Barcelona face Atletico Madrid on Saturday evening - a match which I preview in the latest episode of the Big Inside View. And, believe me, this is a match which you want to keep your eye on!

    For one thing it pitches Sergio Busquets against his apprentice (in the Spain team, at least) Atleti midfielder Rodri. Busquets remains a wonderful footballer but in this episode I explain why I think Rodri would fit in well at the Camp Nou.
