Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Billie T and Luke as Cristian Romero took another swipe at Tottenham's recruitment strategy as they closed the transfer window without enough reinforcements to satisfy their World Cup winning captain. Spurs beat Arsenal to 18-year-old striker James Wilson from Heart of Midlothian on deadline day. Wilson will join on six-month loan with an option in the summer and spend the rest of the season with the Under-21 squad in north London. Spurs this month have signed England international midfielder Gallagher signed for £35million from Atletico Madrid and teenage Brazilian left back Souza signed for £13m from Santos. We sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35m and, in January, lost a cluster of players to injuries, including most of the defence.We review the business and discuss where this leaves Thomas Frank for the second-half of the season, the negligence shown by ENIC/The Lewis Family and question what do they even want this Club to try and be.

Real Madrid kept up their pursuit of league leaders Barcelona but only just, needing a 100th minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe to spare their blushes at home to Rayo Vallecano, in a match which saw Vinicius Jr booed despite scoring a worldie and Jude Bellingham leaving the pitch in tears clutching his hamstring. Gary and Alex look at why the atmosphere continues to be so fractious at the Bernabeu. Barcelona kept themselves ahead of the rest with a 3-1 away at Elche in a game in which they spurned plenty of chances to make the scoreline even greater, goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford were enough for the three points. With the league being so tight and the knock-out stages of the Champions League upon us who do Gary and Alex think has the squad capable of winning it all this season? There's also been more grumbling at Atletico Madrid as they struggled to a 0-0 draw at Levante, leaving Diego Simeone calling for reinforcements in the transfer window, but after fifteen years in charge have the fans decided it's time for a change?

Niko joined Jeremiah for an emergency podcast to discuss the very imminent transfer of Obed Vargas from the Sounders to Atletico Madrid. Although no official announcement has been made the deal sounds to be effectively done with a contract through 2030 and the Sounders are expected to retain a significant sell-on percentage and a transfer fee likely in the $3-5 million range. They also discuss who the likely replacements will be in the Sounders midfield and what the financial flexibility the transfer provides.Follow Niko Moreno on BlueSky and YouTube.Sponsor

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Darren Hart and Luke as a superb professional performance saw us enjoy an excellent win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night to book a fourth-place finish in the league phase of the Champions League and guarantee our path straight into the last 16. Needing a victory to confirm a top eight berth, we were dominant from start to finish at Deutsche Bank Park and eventually got the goals we deserved in the second half, Randal Kolo Muani scoring against his former club seconds after the restart before Dominic Solanke – whose penalty beat Frankfurt on this ground in the Europa League quarter-finals last season – secured the win with a clinical finish. The win means we avoid the play-off round and can now look forward to a two-legged last 16 tie in March against one of either Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge or Galatasaray, we debate who we would like to face next and whether it could sway the Club to act in the final days of the transfer window.

Is he ready for the step up, which clubs fit his skill set best, and why has no one pulled the trigger yet?Finally, we dive into the Champions League league phase table ahead of the final round of fixtures.

Real Madrid returned to winning ways at the weekend when they beat Levante 2-0 but the Bernabeu crowd singled out Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde for boos and whistles as they continued to express their displeasure at Xabi Alonso's sacking. Gary And Alex react to the scenes in Madrid and the challenges facing new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. Barcelona's nine-game winning streak came to an end with defeat at Real Sociedad in an incident-packed game featuring disallowed goals, overturned penalties, and a brilliant performance from La Real's goalkeeper. This result means Barca are only one point ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, but there was some positive news for Marcus Rashford as he got himself on the scoresheet. Finally, we look at Villarreal's fading hopes of muscling their way into the title race after defeat at an improving Real Betis and there's a look at Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sorloth proving some of his doubters wrong with a superb winning goal against Alaves.

Patrick and Neel open with Barcelona's win over Atletico Madrid and dig into why Atleti started well, why they collapsed after scoring, and how Raphinha and Pedri change Barça's ceiling. They also break down what Simeone's team is missing and whether they can stay competitive with Spain's top two. Then it's onto the Premier League, starting with Sunderland's brave performance at Anfield and why their approach is working in a season full of chaos. Leeds' shift in structure, Daniel Farke's reputation, and their big win over Chelsea come next, followed by a deeper look at Manchester City's issues out of possession and why their current squad build leaves them stuck between pressing and blocking deep. The episode closes in Scotland with Celtic's appointment of Wilfried Nancy. Patrick and Neel walk through his coaching journey, his style of play, and what it might take to implement his system quickly in a tight title race.

Una buona Juve elimina l'Udinese e va ai quarti di finale di Coppa Italia. Le cattive notizie sono i gol annullati a David e Openda che avrebbero potuto dare una svolta alla loro fin qui sciagurata stagione e, a proposito di sciagure, l'infortunio al menisco di Gatti. Ma non è stata solo la serata della Coppa Italia: si è giocato anche un anticipo di lusso in Liga tra Barcellona e Atletico Madrid. Di tutto questo parliamo con Filippo Maria Ricci da Madrid, con Carlo Pellegatti in studio e il direttore di Tuttosport Guido Vaciago in collegamento. Esiste un Mondiale dove l'Italia c'è, è quello di rugby e oggi c'è stato il sorteggio che commentiamo con il nostro Giacomo Bagnasco.

We discuss the way the game was presented beforehand versus how it actually played out, what Diego Simeone's team selection said about how he viewed the Gunners' threat, and a couple of sliding doors moments before the goals arrived in the second half. We talk about set-piece prowess again, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Martinelli's brilliant combination for the second goal, Viktor Gyokeres ending his dry spell in front of goal with two close range strikes, what this result and performance says about this Arsenal team, our incredible defensive record in the Champions League group stages over the last three seasons, and lots more.Follow Phil on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/philcosta.bsky.socialGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Rog and Rory are back ahead of this week's Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League action, and deep dive into the rise and (potential) fall of Diego Simeone, the living legend prowling Atletico Madrid's touchline. How did Simeone take a mid-table club and turn them into a rival of the best teams in Europe? And can Simeone adjust to the evolution of modern football? Then, Rog and Rory breakdown how Barcelona's season might hinge (once again) on previously retired, nicotine-addicted Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. All of this and more on the latest European Nights.Football is better with friends.
