FC Biel/Bienne, FC Thun, and FC Basel have all found themselves, for one reason or another, cast adrift in recent years. This season, all three are in a position to reclaim some of that glory. I take a look at the journeys of each side and consider whether they'll be able to achieve the kind of success that has been held cruelly out of reach.

Both the Swiss Men's senior and U21 sides suffered some disastrous results during the most recent international break. Paddy looks at how things went wrong for the U21s, and highlights three ways the senior side could improve things under Murat Yakin.

It's a bonanza update, as we look at the winners and losers in the Super League, including Patrick Rahmen's departure from Young Boys, discuss the race for the Challenge League, delve into the women's Super League, and wax lyrical about the Swiss Cup. All this and more in Episode 3 of the Swiss Football Podcast, 24-25!

Paddy heads to the Letzigrund in Zürich to watch FCZ v Lugano, a top of the table clash that would see the winner go top of the Super League ahead of the second international break.

In "Auslanders", I decide who my special guest should support in Switzerland. In this episode, I welcome Fazz and Rich from the Living La Vita Loca podcast to talk football, food, and the power of friendship, before giving both of them a Swiss team to follow.

A month into the 24-25 season, we take a look at the successes, strugglers, and surprises of the Swiss Super League so far, including the shocking start made by the reigning champions, before breaking down the mixed results for our Swiss sides in European qualifiers. Finally, what can we expect from Xherdan Shaqiri's return to Basel? What will it mean for the club, the league, and Xherdan himself?

Paddy makes his predictions for the upcoming 24/25 season and reflects on Switzerland's performance in Euro 2024, as well as mourning Xherdan Shaqiri's decision to hang up his international boots.

After a long hiatus, it's time to give this another go. In this episode, I look back over the 2023/24 season in Swiss football, revisiting the predictions I made back in the summer of 2023. I also give my thoughts on the upcoming Switzerland v England game at Euro 2024. It's nice to be back!
