The Euros have begun! Italy beat Turkey 3-0 in the opening game of the tournament, and here to dissect the game is Alex Stewart, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Joe Devine Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joe tries to keep up with Seb and Alex as the team make their predictions ahead of Euro2020. Who will be the biggest disappointments of the tournament? There are too many prospects to follow in that one. Who are the ones to watch you’ve never heard of, including the hotly contested prize; "best Eastern European midfield". Sadly, we have a pretty good idea what the most controversial subject will b...

Joe returns! Accompanied by Seb, just Seb, there's a heated debate about the Europa League Final: what exactly was Solskjaer thinking about with his subs? Was he right? And why do we care so much? All of that lead to what might be the most epic penalty shootout? (we did have a vague memory of a better one but we couldn't remember enough about it to actually bring it up). Villareal's penalties, in...

Seb and JJ are holding the fort again; under discussion: the final games of the season across Europe. Why are Everton so thoroughly quite good?! Lille are crowned French champions, Atleti seal victory in La Liga, and Callum Davidson is everyone's hero as St Johnstone win the cup... twice! The last UCL places are decided in England and Italy with Leicester suffering disappointment again and, much t...

Chelsea were out for revenge against their FA Cup final vanquishers Leicester City. Seb and JJ pick apart the Premier League rematch which came just 75 hours after the Wembley showpiece. The midweek action also saw a goal of the season contender, an exquisite chip from Edinson Cavani, and (much to Seb's dismay) there was another chaotic Spurs performance resulting in defeat at home to Villa. Hoste...

Seb and Alex very much enjoyed watching The FA Cup final and were taken by Youri Tieleman's influence on the game, the incredible strength of Kasper Schmeichel’s wrists, and promising young liberos. They also took advantage of Joe's absence to indulge themselves with a look at the Ligue 2 promotion race, the prospects of a Florentine hotshot, and a thrilling final-round championship climax in Turk...

JJ Bull, Alex Stewart, and Joe Devine discuss the Premier League's midweek action including a shock Arsenal win over Chelsea and an intriguing match-up between stuttering Leicester and a much-changed Man United. There's an extra special treat this week, too, as Seb Stafford-Bloor sits down with legendary commentator and author of new sort-of-memoir, "Not For Me, Clive". It is of course, as you've...

Seb, Alex and JJ shake off the creaks and wobwebs of a Monday morning as they chat through (most of) the weekend’s Premier League action, with an important sojourn to Ligue 1 to acknowledge football's latest fairytale. On the agenda: a mock-up, or should that be a mockery, of this year's Champions League final, the increasingly entertaining Mason Greenwood, and Willian’s return to the scoresheet....

Joe, Seb, and JJ reflect on the Champions League semi-finals, featuring an imperious defensive performance by Manchester City, the dairy way to express your appreciation of Phil Foden, and some spectacular antics from a particularly petulant PSG. The other semi saw a solid and convinving Chelsea win, thanks in no small part to a dramatic capitulation from Real Madrid. The Madridistas were not amus...
