    In episode two we begin by discussing the - pre-match - events at the Riverside, which were quite honestly saddening. Following that discussion we turn out attentions to five legends of Euros gone by who have really left their mark on this prestigious tournament. From Platini to Van Basten to Trezeguet to Rooney and, finally, to Torres, we feel these players left an indelible mark that we simply cannot ignore. Also in the pod, we discuss the injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold, which has unfortunately ruled him out for the tournament. What a waste of time that Trent should-he-go or should-he-not-go discourse was, eh?We hope you enjoy. Only a week to go!

    The plot has been foiled, but if these 12 men had got their way, this would have been the end of European football as we know it. Joined by Alex White and Charles Orchard this week, Julian discusses all the happenings and goings on of the last 72 or so hours. It's been some ride. From the doom-filled Sunday and Monday to the genuine relief felt at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night when it was announced the Chelsea board would be going no further in their plans to breakaway, it feels like football has dominated the news cycle for days. We discuss all the events leading up to and including Tuesday, before turning our attention to the future. What punishments should be dished out? Whose heads should roll? Will the right heads roll? We hope you enjoy.

    This episode dives into the career of Michael Owen. FA Cup, UEFA Cup, League Cup and Balon D'Or winner all by the age of 22, but that was where his career peaked. Injuries and a poor career move meant that his career was on a downward trend from those very special years in the early 2000s. But my word, in his time at the top he did squeeze in some special moments. We hope you enjoy. Rivaldo up next.
