• Lazio tops the table, more United mediocrity, trouble for Nice and Betis, and Celje and TNS magic - Europa League Matchweek 3, Conference League Matchweek 2
    Oct 27 2024

    It was a day of thrilling upsets, particularly in the Conference League, where Celje trounces Basaksehir, Vikingur buries Cercle, and TNS gets the Welsh league's first ever points in a European competition.

    Elsewhere, United, Nice, and Betis continue to struggle, Lazio go top of the Europa League, and Chelsea are...pretty damn good?

    All that and more on this week's AGT!

    Cheers Adrian Siemieniec!

  • Club Spotlight: FC Twente
    Oct 14 2024

    It's the international break, and you know what that means: Club Spotlight time!

    This week, David walks us through Enschede's own FC Twente of the Eredivisie, including all its rich history, honors, and tactical iterations.

    Finally, we finish on Twente's promising new era (including recent points earned against Manchester United and Fenerbahce) , which places them in a fascinating context within Dutch football and even this season's Europa League.

    Cheers again Joseph Oosting!

    36 games games in the Europa and Conference Leagues have come and gone, and we have a LOT to talk about!

    Meanwhile in the Conference, Chelsea continued their scintillating form, Fiorentina did Fiorentina stuff, Betis fell in Poland, and Cercle Brugge ran riot on St. Gallen.

    We debate the teams who will qualify for the top 8, discuss the best fixtures, and highlight a couple of clubs to look out (I'm looking at you Lugano!).

    Then, we predict which clubs will qualify for the knockouts and which will receive a bye by finishing in the top 8, before finishing with some of our favorite fixtures throughout the 8 League Phase match-days.

    And if you're a Conference League sicko, never fear - our UECL preview pod will be up this time next week!

  • Club Spotlight: Real Sociedad de Fútbol
    Sep 8 2024

    Our Club Spotlight series returns for the new season, and this time we turn our attention to the Basque Country and the pride of Donostia-San Sebastián, Real Sociedad.

    The famous club is a founding member of La Liga, a proud owner of 2 top-flight league titles and 3 Copa del Reys, and of course, a proud part of Basque culture.

    Maxwell takes David through the club's history, its past accomplishments, its recent success and tactics under coach Imanol Alguacil, and its intertwinement with the region.

    (Apologies for any mispronunciations...)

    Cheers Imanol Alguacil!
