The ITV Football Football Show

We're off to sunny Spain for the latest episode of the podcast, as Mark and Andros are joined from Valencia by the hugely likeable Jose Enrique. The former Newcastle and Liverpool left back discusses the magnificent Magpies' fans, his brief stint in goal, missing out on the title with the Reds and their current injury woes, a newfound love of shopping in the supermarket, the genius of Luis Suarez and getting the better of Andros in an U21 game between Liverpool and Spurs! A real delight ...

From his humble origins plastering while playing non-league football in the northwest to scoring regularly in the top flight, Glenn Murray's story is one of grit, determination and, by his own admission, not a little luck. But he's made the most of his considerable skills too to become the consummate professional. Now at Nottingham Forest, the 37-year-old talks to Mark and Andros about juggling football and family life, his lack of pace, the physical rigours of the game, how he looks after his body - and his unlikely obsession with Uwe Rösler as a boy!

Nigel is the first manager we've welcomed to the podcast, and boy does he have some tales to tell. Having coached in all four divisions, he's become synonymous with miraculous escapes - starting with keeper Jimmy Glass's injury-time goal that secured Carlisle's place in the football league back in 1999. He reflects on that, life at Leicester and Watford, and the emotional and psychological demands of the modern game.

In a frank interview about his desperate struggles with gambling and alcohol addiction, Steven Caulker reflects upon his difficult journey with Mark and Andros - who experienced similar problems to his former teammate and good friend as a young player. From training by himself through being shunned by ex-colleagues and turned down by 70 clubs, he's suffered many a setback. But circumstances are looking up. Now plying his trade at Turkish side Alanyaspor, Steven is in a much better place mentally and, it seems, geographically - he spends his afternoons walking along the beach, playing his guitar and fishing! He also reveals how he's now in touch with current players at the highest level who are going through the same tribulations as he did.

At a time when we can only dream of watching our team from the stands, we get the perspective of Arsenal Fan TV founder, Robbie Lyle. Robbie is the godfather of online supporter channels, having launched AFTV back in 2012. It has been hugely successful - and become extremely influential. He, Mark and Andros talk Arsene Wenger, Mesut Ozil, the young Gunners who've turned the side's fortunes around, and why players should show a bit more respect to the fans - win, lose or draw.

With the hectic festive schedule almost over, Darren Bent joins the lads to discuss the Yuletide winners and losers. He reflects upon the highs-and-lows of his career - from tough times at Spurs through Sunderland success to the disappointment of missing out on three major international tournaments with England. They also discuss the merits of abstinence as professional athletes, the pitfalls of punditry and the dressing room fallout from thrashings on the pitch. Andros outs himself as a proper meanie in the Secret Santa stakes too ...

In a very entertaining conversation, Ben tells Mark and Andros how he came to become the Cycling Goalkeeper, why he started a matchday video diary at Watford, the number of gloves he gets through a season, and how best to cook a leg of lamb! They talk a bit of football, too, with frank discussions about his mental anxieties as a younger player, particularly during his time at Manchester United. Turns out he doesn't actually watch much footy these days, though, preferring instead two wheels and the freedom of the open road ...

In a candid interview about the challenging place he's at in his career, Jack Wilshere joins Mark and Andros from Dubai, where he's undergoing an intensive solo training programme as he endeavours to get playing club football again. One of the most gifted talents of his generation, he talks about what went wrong at West Ham, how his ongoing struggles with impact injuries have affected his mindset in matches, the Mezut Ozil situation, and his burning desire to rejoin his beloved Arsenal. They also talk England - with Jack predictably enthusiastic about Gareth Southgate's attacking options. There's also much debate about the best way to take a penalty, after Ivan Cavaleiro's 'unfortunate' effort for Fulham against Everton.

In a wee bonus episode, Andros and Mark are joined by Ally McCoist and Iain Dowie to reflect upon the contrasting fortunes of Scotland and Northern Ireland. It's fair to say that one of these gentleman is happy, the other is not ...

England captain Harry Kane joins the lads for an exclusive interview ahead of a trio of matches against the Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland. They reflect on Harry's various loan spells as he tried to establish himself as a first team regular at Spurs, his new-found fondness for assists, and a 20 man brawl on a pitch in Mexico with Andros at the epicentre! We also assess Scotland and Northern Ireland's chances in their crunch qualifiers against Serbia and Slovakia, and dissect another weekend of VAR controversy.
