The 97 Football Show

Our old friend Ehis joins Magnus on this bonus episode where they table some Blue matters. Chelsea's new boss, Enzo Maresca, singled out Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell in the past week's press conferences, then brutally addressed the whispers about his squad's size. Ehis reacts to Maresca's pressers and how Chelsea are handling player outgoings in the new regime, while uncovering...

Club football come back with a bang, and we bring you our first weekly review. Poch got appointed as the USMNT manager and we’re wishing Angel Gomes a speedy recovery. Ikenna and Magnus both happy with their teams’ wins, but Ikenna still has some issues with his Blancos, while Barcelona had to sneak three points from the Mestalla. We were so disappointed with Eze’s disallowed goal, though we were...

Our first edition of Fan Diaries sees us interview fans of the big six Premier League clubs, right before the season gets rolling. Manchester City fan Koseku is chilling going into the season, still on a high from the 2023 UCL win but ready as ever to do the usual normal. Jamil joins Ikenna in the Manchester United corner as they break down Erik ten Hag's setup and chances going into the seaso...

Club football is back this week, and we’re ready to kick off the new season in style. Teams have been busy rebuilding their squads over the summer, setting the stage for an exciting year ahead.

With the race for the title heating up across Europe’s top five leagues, last season’s champions will have to fight hard...

It’s “Run it Back” season on 97, and we’re bringing back an old classic. With the summer tournaments wrapped up, it’s time to dive back into the transfer window.

Spain and Argentina conquered their continents last week, and we're making a final diary entry from the summer tournaments.

And you know we don't miss out on the records and the scoop. Catch that and more in this n...

We’re down to the last four teams in both tournaments happening across the Atlantic. The Euro2024 and Copa America semifinals are set and we’re in for a treat. We’ve already seen some big ballers step up. Can they replicate those moments on an even bigger stage? We’ll walk you through knockout action and a whole lot more.

Our first guest of 2024 joins us this week as we come with a very packed recap of the ongoing European Championship and Copa America. We're getting to the business end of the tournaments and some teams either Go Big or Go Home. Tune in to find out our Team of the Tournament so far, and a whole lot more.

This summer hasn't failed to bring the heat as the Euros continue to gift us amazing moments and the Copa America officially kicks off. Join us as we take you through group-stage action in these tournaments.

The European championship is well and truly underway and the Copa America is not too far off. Join us as we recap a thrilling start to this Euros campaign and countdown to the Copa America which kicks off on Friday.

Over 5,000 combined FM hours racked up. Today we put them to the test. The big Premier League teams need 97’s services and we are here to deliver. We've done the scouting. It only takes one piece sometimes to complete a team, some need two. So we came with backups. We brought 3 situations each and looked at who could fit in the most. If you like our suggestions and your club is still looking confu...

Here we go! Another season underway. We love this game. The slate is still fresh. Things are still unfolding. Many questions unanswered. Today we're going to predict our winners for the end of the season. Taking you across the top domestic European Leagues, UEFA club tournaments, and the Premier League. Hold us accountable in May. Aston Villa could be relegated by then. Who knows?

This summer, football has gifted us the Euros, and we’ve loved it so far. We’re taking you through all the groups in the tournament, and you’ll get to know how we think this (the group stages) is going to end. We’ve also brought you our best players from each of the groups so far. Coming to an agreement might not have been easy but we hope you enjoy this one!

This is our first Quiz Day show on 97! Daye and Magnus go head to head for 5 questions of their own, to see who will come out on top in the first edition. But it must have been a very good weekend for Arsenal fans seeing their team win the North London Derby for the first time since December 2018. Maybe not so good for Daye, but does he think the penalty decision that essentially won the game was...

  

Our first episode of 2021 features our boy Ikenna. Man City have been absolutely dominant even before the turn of the year. They’ve taken every one - obviously us - by storm with their fluid attacking football now coupled with what might be their best defensive side yet. But do we think they can finally conquer Europe this year? The Premier League has seen many sides improve this season, so which...

Joined again by Josh, Charles joins us to rant about Man United and Frank Lampard. We also briefly go over Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele, Jadon Sancho and Spurs.

Me and one of my very good friend Josh (in the absence of Magnus) tackle Arsenal and Wenger's tenure at the helm, while also discussing what makes our beautiful game what it is

The new season's already kicked off, and for some, it's looking like one of the most exciting seasons yet. There's absolute loads to speak on so in this episode,  we've gone in on the top teams and how we think they're going to be shaping up this season. How will each signing impact each team and what do other teams need to do to catch up? Where will Chelsea eventually finish after their big...

So the football world seems to be on the wheels again, and of course, it's always giving us something to talk about. The Premier League's restart gave us a controversial goal decision (as annoyingly usual), and Arsenal struggling more and more at the hands of City. Plus, we've got our 2nd ever guest on the show in Idam, and he takes on Magnus in a short "Man City x Liverpool" style quiz. Find out...

It has almost been two weeks since the big return of football in Germany, which has seen over 25 games played already. Other leagues seem to be getting ready to get going and are working towards finishing the season, but might it be too early for a restart? Get to know our thoughts on that along with who we'd like to see do better after the break, and even who we'd want to self isolate with! You c...
