The Kyle Walker Podcast

Comedian Maisie Adam and The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards bring you the day's biggest football speculation and rumours including: Is the pressure mounting on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag following defeat to Bayern Munich?

Callum decided to show up to the podcast this week, and his timing was immaculate after scoring his side’s winner at the weekend. But should he have had another goal?

He had to wait a long time before he could take his penalty against Brentford. So he lets us in on his secret formula for pen success.

For a large part of West Ham’s game against City, it looked like it would be their day. The Hammers had the top spot on their mind, but then it went wrong. Michail explains why.

It's the return of the Champions League and Europa League this week… and Newcastle find themselves in the group of death. So how well do they think the Magpies will do against European royalty?

Plus, Michail previews his side's upcoming game against an unknown quantity in Serbia’s Bačka Topola on Thursday.

Off the pitch, Manchester United have been plagued by issues this season. And it’s seeming to affect the side on it as well. So what do the boys think is going wrong? Is it an issue of culture? Or should the players be taking the blame?

And pod favourite Richarlison gets Michail talking, AGAIN!

In this week’s Footballers Unfiltered the boys debate who would win between Michail and Callum in a shoulder to shoulder contest. Plus, Callum reveals who he’s been most surprised by in England camps. Get in touch with the boys at [email protected].

Jermain and Troy remember their first football shirts and the jerseys that made them fall in love with the sport. They also recall the best and worst from their playing careers and how it felt seeing shirts with their name on the back for the first time.

JD reveals how he got a specially signed shirt from Thierry Henry at Highbury and Troy explains how he ended up with a special double from two Man Utd heroes and a funny encounter with Jose Mourinho.

Callum was away on England duty, so couldn’t make this week’s pod. But don’t worry, Michail brought enough energy for two. With the Hammers making a near perfect start to the season, Rickie asks if a top four charge is realistic. How high can they finish?

West Ham’s last win came as they became the first Premier League team to visit Kenilworth Road. So what was that like? The atmosphere was a little frosty, apparently.

Have fans taken it too far, though? Harry Maguire has been at the end of an unfair amount of stick. Michail gives his take. Plus, he lends his support to Richarlison for his public decision to seek psychological help.

Mo Salah’s Liverpool future looked in doubt towards the end of the summer transfer window, but for the time being he’s staying put on Merseyside. But Michail thinks the move to Saudi Arabia is inevitable, and a dream one for the Egyptian.

What is it about the Saudi Pro League that is so alluring to footballers? Is it just the money, or is there more at stake? Time for some honesty.

There were some brilliant questions in this week’s Footballers (Michail) Unfiltered. Mikey discusses how to stay positive despite self-doubt in football, what it has been like playing for the Jamaican national team and whether he would ever consider a move to the MLS.

With 25 men constantly playing and training together, fall outs are going to happen and that’s the theme of this episode of Football Firsts. Troy recalls laying out a teammate and Jermain remembers the time Lamine Kone stopped him going for someone at Sunderland. They also discuss opposition players: which Liverpool player crumbled under physical pressure from Troy and which Arsenal defender employed the dark arts on JD?

And in a chat about the pettiest fall outs they've seen, we discover how the morning coffee run led to two teammates no longer speaking and what caused Troy to hide in the dressing room toilets.

Jermain and Troy remember the first red cards of their careers. They tell us what happened, what they were thinking as they walked off the pitch and how their gaffers reacted.

Troy tells of the time he was hammered by his teammates after getting sent off in an important game, while JD recalls getting three reds in quick succession at West Ham. They also discuss rowing with refs on the pitch and their favourite Premier League sending-offs.

Somehow Newcastle lost at the weekend. And Callum’s in a bad mood. But luckily for us, he gives us five minutes to analyse where it all went wrong.

Should Trent Alexander-Arnold have been sent off along with Virgil van Dijk? And what do the boys make of the unprecedented increase in yellow and red cards?

Michail is at it again! Last week the boys dissected a sweet right-footed strike into the bottom left corner. This week they dissect a sweet right-footed strike into the left corner. But which one was better?

Surprisingly, Callum was singing Michail’s praises. But he also noticed a poor performance from the West Ham man in his post-match interview. We take another listen and the boys argue over who is better in front of the cameras.

We’re only three games in and already a lot of people are handing City the league title. But surely not?! Who else do the boys think will be up there?

In Footballers Unfiltered this week, we get an update on Detective Wilson’s investigation into Sandro Tonali’s Wetherspoons jaunt, Callum picks his dream Champions League opponents and Michail chooses between presenting the pod with 5 Callum Wilsons or one 5-year-old Callum Wilson. Have something you want to ask the boys? Email them at [email protected].

In this episode Jermain and Troy are paying homage to the technicians: the players with the best first touch in men’s football. They discuss their favourites from back in the day and from the modern era. Who did JD always want in his 5-a-side team at Spurs and which midfield maestro has big legs but arms like biscuits?

They also reminisce over how they improved their first touch as kids, how a video of Manchester United’s treble-winning season helped Troy’s development and reveal the players whose first touch was honking.

Michail put in a shift against Chelsea! It’s fair to say it got pundits singing his praises. So no surprises, he’s buzzing this week.

What did his side do differently to nullify Chelsea’s threat? And personally, did Michail change his approach at all?

The Antonio love-in continued as he made the Fantasy Premier League team of the week. But do the boys think about how many points they are earning for players who pick them? And do they play the game themselves?

Lucas Paqueta was heavily involved in the game at the weekend, scoring the winning penalty and playing a blinder after a difficult week off the pitch. Did any of the noise affect him going into the match?

Caicedo had a bit of a horror show on his debut against the Hammers, but how hard is it to come into the side as the British record signing?

Jurgen Klopp caused a bit of a storm with his own fans after asking them not to sing his song. What did the boys make of that? Was he within his rights, or should fans be able to sing whatever they want?

A bumper Footballers Unfiltered this week as Callum gives us the inside scoop on Sandro Tonali’s unexpected trip to Wetherspoons, the boys discuss the weirdest places fans have asked for photos and Michail claims he’d score 30 goals a season if he played up front for Man City.

Hold your nerve and take a deep breath as Jermain and Troy recall their first team debuts in pro football. JD remembers the feeling of not only making his first appearance but grabbing the winner for West Ham; Troy explains why his wasn’t as glorious and why he still had to play the chef on the coach home.

They also discuss why they were scared to go in the first team dressing room as youngsters and reminisce about some of the worst debuts they’ve seen, including the goalkeeper who looked the part in training but had a shocker in his first game.
