They question whether these changes will enhance the fan experience or if English football is becoming too Americanised. The fellas also touch on Lee Carsley and his success with England's U21s — does he deserve more respect in the game?And finally, the big one: the Mount Rushmore of Premier League Strikers. The boys debate eight iconic names and whittle them down to the final four — including a fiery clash between Adam and Buvey over who deserves a spot.All this and more on the latest episode of The Club.

Mondial des Clubs : Paris file en quarts, City et l'Inter Milan prennent la porte ! Manchester City et l'Inter Milan tombent dès les huitièmes de finale, battus respectivement par Al Hilal et Fluminense. Retour sur deux grosses surprises ou pas… ? Le PSG poursuit sa route après avoir écarté sans forcer (4-0) Lionel Messi et son Inter Miami dimanche (29 juin 2025). Les Parisiens ont à présent rendez-vous samedi prochain avec le Bayern Munich pour ce qui constituera le Choc de ces Quarts ! En coulisses, Jürgen Klopp et Pep Guardiola haussent le ton : trop de matches, trop de déplacements, un format qui dérange. Le Mondial des Clubs est-il en train de perdre les coachs avant de gagner les fans ? Transfert : Pogba et Ansu Fati à Monaco ! L'AS Monaco frappe fort sur le marché estival. Paul Pogba, libre après sa suspension, rejoint le Rocher. Ansu Fati, lui, débarque en prêt pour se relancer. Deux paris risqués, mais à fort potentiel. Monaco fait-il un coup de maître ou prend-il des risques démesurés ? Sénégal : Jaraaf, roi de Dakar, encore sacré !

Welcome back to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. This week, hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper explore the complex history behind the Abu Dhabi takeover of Manchester City. The discussion begins with a chilling recount of a 1984 assassination of UAE ambassador Khalifa Ahmad Mubarak, claimed by the Arab Revolutionary Brigades. This incident serves as a critical backdrop for understanding the motivations and geopolitical factors influencing contemporary Middle Eastern involvement in global sports. Jonathan and Rob look into the precarious position of Abu Dhabi, the history of the UAE's formation, and the significant figures like Khaldoon Al Barak and Sheikh Zed, shedding light on why Abu Dhabi has ventured into the world of football ownership and how this has reshaped not just Manchester City but football in general.Join us on Friday for Part Two.00:00 Tragic Assassination in Paris00:54 Introduction to the Podcast01:03 The Abu Dhabi Takeover of Manchester City03:21 Comparing Abramovich and Sheik Mansour04:29 The Shock of the 2008 Takeover05:09 The Initial Skepticism and Rabino Signing07:21 The Role of Solomon Al Faim09:26 The Importance of Kaldoon Al Mubarak15:41 The Aggressive Approach to Regulation22:34 Massacre at Saia and Its Impact24:25 Khaldoon Al Mubarak's Background27:19 Transformation of Abu Dhabi32:23 Discovery of Oil and Its Implications43:19 Formation of the United Arab Emirates44:50 Challenges from Regional Powers45:56 Conclusion and Teaser for Part Two Hosted on Acast.

For years Trent Alexander-Arnold has been the highest priced defender in FPL, but with the right-back off to Madrid what should that mean for the pricing of defenders in FPL? Suj and James deliberate who might come in as the most expensive and who that should be, discussing options from the expected top 3 of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. There's also discussion about other assets such as Marc Cucurella, Lewis Hall, Daniel Munoz and Pedro Porro and where they should sit in the pricing. Plus, should money be invested in premium defenders at all following last season and there's a look at some rotatable pairings that may well interest FPL managers for the start of the season.
