Leicester City have been pegged down to the UEFA Conference league and are struggling in the League, Jidechi is strong of the opinion that Brendan Rodgers should already be out of a job and gives his reasons why there is no recovery for Leicester under Rodgers.

We also look at the biggest games coming up this weekend from the Madrid Derby in Spain to...Liverpool vs Aston Villa?

Guess there aren't that many top games in Europe this weekend. Or maybe there are. Listen to find out 😉

It's hard to figure out exactly how Barcelona has found itself in this situation, so we did the easy thing instead, made fun of them. Long trips to Jerusalem and Azerbijan are hardly what Cules would have envisaged when they hired Xavi, but here they are anyway.

We discuss the Catalan mishap and other teams dropping from the Champions League to the Europa League and the chances of Chelsea retaining their title now that they have finished second in the group.

We also highlighted results from the UWCL as Chelsea Women secured top and looked at Thursday's fixtures including the biggest clash of the game week between Barcelona and Arsenal.

Chelsea are going through a rough patch of matches with mixed results in the last 3 games - a win, a draw, and a loss. Mayieve explains the reasons for the recent slump in results (not performances) while Naz basks in the newfound relief of watching Manchester United play under Rangnick. Predictions for the last UCL group stage match and the weekend games in the EPL to follow. It's the Blue Blood vs The Red Devils. 

Barcelona are in a more precarious situation than a glass cup sharing a table with a troublesome cat. If they lose to Bayern Munich during the final round of Group Stage games, then they will play in the lower ranks of European football for the first time since 2003/2004.

We've asked fans of the Podcast if they think Barcelona can escape from the Allianz Arena with a point or more and the answer? An emphatic NO!

Listen to the BallGecko Podcast fans share their opinions on Europe's most talked-about fixture and also listen to a preview of the UCL games and get a hint of what each team needs to qualify for the round of 16.

Fluke or fashion? Arthur Masuaku's goal against Chelsea caused a mini-debate about whether he meant the audacious attempt on goal or not. Ayoola and Jidechi also discuss the best and worst of Chelsea's weekend as CFC lost to West Ham while CWFC claimed the FA Cup against Arsenal.

We also discuss Die Klassiker controversy and Jude Bellingham's unguarded comments about referee Felix Zwayer in the wake of Bayern Munich's win over Borussia Dortmund.

And to top it all of, Serie A action featuring Olympicos and a raving, ranting Jose Mourinho after yet another disappointment for Roma.

Thank God it's Friday! With another weekend of exciting football in front of us, join Ayoola and Jidechi as they preview the weekend’a action. Featuring a debate about unfair goals. A look at Roma’s problems and why even top managers are likely to struggle with average teams. Plaudits to Xavi’s Barcelona and why Real Madrid will have too much for Real Sociedad. And of course predictions ahead of the biggest game of the weekend, Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich.  

In this episode, we discuss Alexia Putellas and the Ballon d'Or feminine. Jidechi explains why the award was unlikely to be as hot a topic as Messi vs Lewandowski in the male category. 

Experience the episode that also included England's record 20-0 win vs Latvia, the quality gap in the European qualifiers, the pros and cons of the lack of action on the African front during the women's international break, and a thorough dressing down of PSG and their unspectacular form, 

Over the weekend, the much-anticipated clash between Chelsea and Manchester United ended in a draw. Naz and Mayieve share their different reactions to the result for both teams and discuss the effect of the incoming interim Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick. Will he be a success and what constitutes success for him at this point of the season?

It's the day after the Ballon d'Or awards and half the world will argue that the best man didn't win it. Luckily for Leo Messi, that wasn't the half he needed. We asked the fans of the Ballgecko podcast who they would have handed the award if they could and got some intriguing results. Listen as we discuss responses and the validity of Lionel Messi's Ballon d'Or win. 

Chelsea and Manchester United shared the spoils at the bridge and the big question today is, what was the main factor? Were Chelsea too lax with their finishing or did they simply meet a United side that defended well? Join us as we look back that fixture and some of the best fixtures across the big five leagues over the weekend.
