Hola Big Interview listeners!

And I'm back with the second half of my La Liga Q&A special episode, featuring some fascinating questions from some of our Socios.

I talked a little about Lionel Messi in Part One and I return to the Barcelona star here to discuss how he will handle being captain at the Camp Nou. I also give my views on whether or not he will miss going mano-a-mano with Cristiano Ronaldo.

And I take a closer look at Real Madrid's summer transfer business and discuss how Spanish football will be affected by the end of Sky Sports' live coverage.

There's also a special question about Thibaut Courtios' chances of breaking into the first team at Madrid which comes from our sponsors Bet365.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Well, here it is: the first part of the inaugural Q&A episode of the new season.

We asked our wonderful Socios for their questions about this campaign in Spain and they didn't disappoint. From queries about Atleti's title credentials; top talents to look out for; and Messi's chances of ruling over the rest of La Liga, I answer them all here.

There's also a special question about the La Liga clubs' prospects in the Champions League which comes from our sponsors Bet365.

Our Socios spoke. We listened.

We asked them to tell us what their favourite Big Interviews were from past seasons of this podcast and why they enjoyed them so much.

One of the most popular choices was my chat with Gary Neville, a former Manchester United captain, current TV pundit and, most importantly, a fascinating and engaging character.

In this Big Interview, we discuss cricket, United and what makes Gary one of the most respected pundits around today. I remember recording this episode well and it was such fun.

I'm sure you will enjoy listening to everything Gary had to say.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Welcome back for Part Two of my Big Interview with Leicester City's league-winning left back: Christian Fuchs.

In this section he takes us back to that incredible campaign of 2015-16, when he was part of a Leicester side which defied the odds and won the Premier League title.

You'll hear about the incredible tension Christian felt as he joined his team-mates at Jamie Vardy's house to watch the match which confirmed them as champions, Chelsea v Tottenham. He also describes the personal touches which made Claudio Ranieri such an effective coach.

And, finally, Christian talks about going from footballer to fashionista and his burgeoning business No Fuchs Given.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

It's time for another Big Interview and this one is with Leicester City player - Premier League winner - Christian Fuchs. It was such a fun interview.

In Part One, Christian talks about his hero Dietmar Kuhbauer and being bullied by the veteran as a teenager at the SV Mattersburg. Listen to why Christian believes that tough love approach is now missing from the game.

He also played alongside Raul at Schalke and Christian will introduce you to the man he refers to as the Prince of Madrid.

I think the first half of this interview is great fun. Part Two will follow on Thursday.

Enjoy!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

All eyes will be on Tallinn on Wednesday evening, where city rivals Atleti and Real Madrid will compete for the European Super Cup.

In this special preview episode I take a close look at the two clubs and determine who will be happier with their summer transfer business. For Atleti, the fact that Jan Oblak, Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin are all still in red and white can be regarded as significant successes, while Madrid have brought in a new manager and lost a talisman: Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is an incredibly intriguing contest. And it all starts here with the Big Inside View.

Enjoy!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

The shiny new Spanish football season begins in earnest on Sunday night when Sevilla face FC Barcelona for the Supercopa ... a match which is to be held in Tangier.

In this special preview, I explain why the clubs are to meet in Morocco as well as the controversy which surrounds this fixture. And I will also examine the summer business conducted by both sides - introducing you to new faces like Arturo Vidal - and predict what kind of encounter we can expect to see.

It's good to be back.

Enjoy!
