Ger Gilroy was joined in studio by the Irish football writer, Richard Fitzpatrick, to discuss his brilliant new book, 'HH: Helenio Herrera – Football's Original Master of the Dark Arts'. What is in part a study of a footballing icon from the early days of the European Cup, Richard's book explores regions of Herrera's life that extended well beyond the pitch itself. From his relentless philandering to his larger-than-life personality, his violent temper to his application of mind games that informed Jose Mourinho's approach in later decades, it is a remarkable story superbly told in this new book.

The Woodland morning crew navigated a Thursday "squall" of technical chaos that would make a NASA engineer sweat. Kicking things off --audio was completely garbled, a moment Tomlin affectionately dubbed "riveting radio". Despite the silence, Decker insisted his unrecorded segments were "gold," lamenting that listeners missed his most "witty" material while he essentially performed for no one.The absurdity peaked when Tomlin reported that NASA astronauts would soon be allowed to "phub"—or phone snub—their colleagues while in orbit. This sparked immediate envy in the studio; the hosts were baffled that astronauts could potentially stream Ted Lasso while orbiting the moon, yet they couldn't even get reliable on WiFi Earth.Whether discussing the "European Cup" of Catholic priest soccer or the perils of "Anti-Valentine's Day" breakup movies, the crew remained undeterred by their malfunctioning equipment. They closed the show with plans to take their "Morning Mayhem" on the road to the middle school, hopefully finding a place where the microphones—and the internet—actually worked.

The boys are back to discuss the latest in the EIHL, including a review of some of the weekend games, the recent GB games at the European Cup of Nations at Murrayfield, the form of Dundee and have they checked out of the season already and much much more.

When your guest guesses that both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League - before either team made the Champions League Final!   This episode was recorded in 2020, just before PSG made their first Champions League Final appearance (they finally won it in 2025) and a year before City's first Final appearance (they won in 2023). From our second episode with Lucas Stoneking and Daniel Rains, which was also a Fringe Festival episode.

Nottingham Forest's greatest ever player, John Robertson, died at the age of 72 on Christmas Day after suffering from Parkinson's disease for a number of years. Robertson was a league title winner and the man who set up Trevor Francis' goal against Malmo in the 1979 European Cup final. A year later he scored the winner himself against Hamburg. In our tribute, we hear from Robertson's former teammate Garry Birtles, broadcaster Darren Fletcher and podcast regular Steve Battlemuch to give the fan point of view on a great player and great man. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest faced Malmo in a repeat of the 1979 European Cup final when the sides meet in the Europa League at the City Ground.

Matt Davies is joined by Simon Fotheringham and former Reds midfielder Sam Collins to discuss whatever happens in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest

In the summer of 1984 Terry Venables was the third-choice for the Barcelona job and had to fight the President to choose how to spend some of that Maradona transfer money but went on to win the club's first La Liga title in 11 years at a canter. That title was only a means to an end, however. Now that they had qualified for the European Cup, the quest was now on to reach their Holy Grail. Mike joins Martyn to discuss the two seasons as a whole as a manager that few fancied and a signing that fans had barely heard of would get so close to immortality and set in place a new culture that helped those who would follow.

This episode celebrates the most iconic anthem in football, "You'll Never Walk Alone." It's not just a song; it's the Liverpool FC sacred vow that reverberates through Anfield. We explore the journey of the melody from the Broadway stage to the roaring Kop, and how Gerry and the Pacemakers' cover cemented its place in club history. We dive into the profound lyrics that served as the soundtrack to the club's greatest triumphs—from the glory of the 1977 European Cup to the Miracle of Istanbul—and analyze why the anthem's true, heartbreaking power lies in its role as a covenant of solidarity following the Hillsborough tragedy. Discover how this unique hymn of hope and compassion became the spiritual DNA of the club, forever promising that no one walks alone.

This episode uncovers the unique and beautiful story behind Nottingham Forest's pre-match anthem, Paul McCartney's wistful Scottish ballad, "Mull of Kintyre."

We look at how this bagpipe-driven tune became the sacred soundtrack to Forest's back-to-back European Cup victories, and how it transformed into an unwavering promise of identity during years of adversity. Discover why this Scottish folk song is a living heirloom, connecting Forest's golden age legends—like Viv Anderson and John Robertson—to the current generation of fans.

Welcome dear listener to First State Kopites. The podcast of the Premier League Champions and league leaders. It's the eighth podcast of the season so far. Reds now have three wins out of three going into the international break.  We beat Arsenal by 1-0 despite the prevailing narrative pre-game. I'm Paul and today I am joined by Daz and Sean. Part One - God, Arsenal are a tough watch. STERILE!!National narrative, Arsenal missed an opportunity with Liverpool playing poorly. Only 2 Arsenal players had a positive OBV (On Ball Value) - advanced metric that assigns a value to each action a player takes in line with the positive or negative impact it has on the probability of their team scoring and conceding.My narrative, is a set piece your only way home? And the time wasting - jeez. That's a lot of money to spend on a low block. Arteta has not won at Anfield.Physicality was rewarded - Timber on Gakpo 9m, Zubimendi on Gakpo at 35 Gabriel on Salah at 42 - in between Ryan gets a soft yellow. Eventually Zubimendi gets a card.They do play in Arteta's image - Exhibit A - Timber at 92m; Merino dive at 37First half played on Arsenal's terms. Passing lanes blocked, we live to get set pieces. Even then the VVD interception from Raya's pass out could have led to moreSecond half - especially after Curtis came on (54), we took a few more risks - the offside goal, the Salah first touch moments and then the foul on Jones that led to the free kick:That free kick though - Neville roundly mocked for suggesting it was like Ronaldo. The man who hasn't scored from a free kick in years.Ali marshaling the Liverpool wallAnfield - now 19 games unbeaten at home. Crowd really picked up in the second half - ‘Where's your European Cup?'Part Two - season so far:The spending conversation - ‘kings ransom'. We've sold over $200m, Arsenal may have sales of $30mWe look for value and will pay for generational talent (a la Billy Beane)Chelsea and their own personal VAR, 2 points behind us.We'll be back with a preview of the Burnley game.

In 1992, European football was at a turning point. The European Cup was going to be replaced with a new format: The Champions League. European football's governing body, Uefa wanted a classical theme to accompany the new competition, in an attempt to try and fix the image of football which was mired by hooliganism at the time. Tony Britten was the man tasked with writing such a piece of music. He tells Tim O'Callaghan how he did it. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Tony in his studio.
