The one where Gary Thacker breaks the podcast. Ahead of a new These Football Times magazine devoted to the might of Uruguayan football, the South America Files team tries to select the nation's finest five-a-side team. Chaos ensues.

It's a grand old team to write about and These Football Times is proving the point with a special magazine dedicated to Everton. Aidan Williams, Chris Lepkowski and true blue Evertonian Paul Mc Parlan talk you through some of the contents of the magazine, covering league and cup wins, great players and managers, and Goodison Park itself, and ruminate on Everton's place in the wider scheme of English football, past and present.

It's time for something very special.  We have World Cup Rambling's first-ever guest.  In this episode, I talk to Gary Thacker.  Gary is an author and journalist, who has contributed most prominently to These Football Times, but also to other publications. Gary has written numerous books, including “Beautiful Bridesmaids Dressed in Oranje: The Unfulfilled Glory of Dutch Football”, “Out of the Blue: Chelsea's Unlikely Champions League Triumph” and “Dutch Masters: When Ajax's Totaalvoetbal Conquered Europe”.  Here we discuss his upcoming book “O Jogo Bonito – Brazil's 1970 World Cup Samba Party”, which will be released on 12th February 2024.  The book looks at Brazil's iconic World Cup triumph in 1970, as they rebuilt from the ashes of 1966 to become the most famous World Cup winners of all-time, with a beautiful style of play that Brazil have never been able to recapture, despite further World Cup wins in 1994 and 2002.

We're back in the Centre Circle to discuss Jon Spurling's excellent book on 1970s football, the decade that These Football Times won't let go. Steven Scragg, Dr David Turner and Dave Bowler talk to Jon about the thinking behind the book, some of its major themes and just what football from 50 years ago tells us about the game today.

Not one but two new These Football Times magazines are out, both centred on the wonderful, intriguing world of football from Eastern Europe. From the Hungarians of 1954 to the Croatians of '98, through the romance of Dinamo Tblisi to the majesty and pragmatism of Red Star (and a whole lot more besides), Aidan Williams, Steven Scragg and Dave Bowler take a flick through the magazines' sumptuous content. 

It's a Leicester City special at These Football Times. We look back on a remarkable decade for the Foxes and ask just where it's gone wrong this season. Will Leicester survive the drop? We've got the answer in one of these three envelopes ...

Will Graham Potter survive at Chelsea? Will Valencia stay out on a limb? Who will be in goal for Newcastle at Wembley? Who thought a UEFA panel would actually blame UEFA for the chaos at the 2022 Champions League final. The answer to all these and more  brought to you by These Football Times.

We all remember our first World Cup, and Adam's no different. His was USA 94, and on this episode he's joined by 'USA 94: The World Cup That Changed The Game' author Matt Evans. Matt, who has also written about the likes of Graeme Souness, Jock Stein and Alessandro Del Piero for These Football Times and Nutmeg magazine, discusses that tournament's impact, the hype surrounding Colombia before the finals and tragedy that followed, interviewing the likes of Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi, Roberto Baggio memories, why USA 94 is underrated, writing about Dundee United legend Jim McLean and his favourite football books. If you're one of the 8 million people who've seen it, you'll know theatre, film and TV actor Sandy Batchelor from a viral video in which he recorded a hilarious tour of his flat for the benefit of his letting agency. Dundee United fan Sandy tells Adam about the motivation for and aftermath of that video, Jack Ross' arrival, his delight at Dylan Levitt's Tannadice move, a bone he wants to pick with the writers of Succession regarding their Scottish football storyline, the state of Scotland's theatre scene, helping to tell the story of an important figure in Labour's history, joining BBC drama Shetland's sixth season and the advice he would give any actor. Adam asks his guests to help him debunk a myth involving Euro 2022, puts questions to his guests from social media, reads excerpts from a classic review of a football book and puts Sandy's accent skills to the test with a challenge involving Kris Boyd.

These Football Times senior writer, James Kelly,  joins us to talk about his new book covering the history of Belgian football. The current Rode Duivels squad is widely regarded as one of Europe's top national teams but, as James explains, there's far more to the story of Belgian football than the current generation.

Joins us to discuss his relationship with the Beautiful Game. Gary also recommends his three football books and chooses three songs that are set against the backdrop to his life.

Stamford Chidge interviews Gary Thacker, author of a new book focusing on Chelsea's extraordinary Champions' League campaign of 2012, culminating in the club's first European Cup trophy.By the early months of 2012, it was clear that the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as head coach at Chelsea wasn't delivering the required success. Instead, the club was spiralling towards its worst season of the Roman Abramovich era. On 4 March, Villas-Boas was dismissed, with his former assistant Roberto Di Matteo made interim head coach until the end of the season. Struggling in the league and with their place in the Champions League in peril, it was an appointment designed to make the best of things until a permanent replacement could be sought in the summer. Instead, under Di Matteo's guidance, Chelsea embarked on a run of performances that not only led to an FA Cup triumph, but resurrected their European hopes with improbable victories over Napoli, Benfica and Guardiola's all-conquering Barcelona before, against all odds, winning the Champions League by defeating Bayern Munich in their own stadium. This is the story of a triumph that came out of the blue. Out of the Blue is the extraordinary story of Chelsea's recovery from a season seemingly in terminal decline and describes the story of how the club's worst season in more than a decade ended with ‘The greatest night in the history of Chelsea Football Club' (Martin Tyler - Sky). It relates how Roberto Di Matteo took over a club in turmoil and delivered FA Cup and Champions League triumphs against all oddsThe book picks up the story from Terry's tears in Moscow and takes it on, through various managers, to the triumph in Munich and tells the story of a team that was on the brink of elimination so many times, but survived to triumph. It gives the details, plus many of the surrounding stories, of all Chelsea's Champions League games together with exclusive insight from interviews with celebrated journalists and authors in Portugal, Spain and Germany as Chelsea toured the continent in search of glory.Out of the Blue relives the rollercoaster and emotionally draining events in Barcelona and Munich that almost defy belief and contains interviews with a collection of Chelsea fans, including Chelsea FanCast's Mark Worrall, as they followed the club's progress: their hopes, fears and, ultimately, celebrations.Gary Thacker is an established author and journalist who writes for numerous magazines and websites, including The Guardian Sports Network and newspapers in Spain. He was shortlisted for Blogger of the Year by the FSF in 2017, and has guested on BBC and talkSPORT radio. A member of These Football Times' Senior Leadership Team, he also appears on podcasts and hosts the popular 'Political Football' series.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Clayton Beerman join Matt Beadle to talk about Chelsea's transfer ban being lifted today and a look back at the win against Aston Villa in midweek and ahead to the match against Everton.With the news on Friday that Chelsea's Transfer Ban has been lifted, we ask should Chelsea buy players in January and if so who and for what positions? Should the club be looking to buy quality or quantity and how will this affect the youth development?With a return to winning ways against Aston Villa in the midweek game, it had a feeling of 'Groundhog Day' with Chelsea creating chances, but not taking them; being careless at the back & conceding as a result. But it was a much needed win and very entertaining but why did it have to be so tense?Tammy was back on the score sheet & a Mason Mount scored a worldy so are Chelsea better when they both start? And why do opposition ‘keepers turn into Gordon Banks when playing Chelsea? Plus Ben joins us on the phone to discuss whether we need to buy another 'keeper to give Kepa some competition?Looking ahead to the Everton match we have Paul McParlan from These Football Times to discuss whether or not Duncan Ferguson will provide the lift Everton need to beat Chelsea, having sacked Marco Silva.All this plus our predictions for the match on Saturday!Support the Chelsea FanCast and become a Patron:Become a Patron!Chelsea FanCast is broadcast on Love Sport Radio every Friday from 7.00-8.00 pm.

It was a tournament like no other, called the awkward sibling of the European Cup and the UEFA Cup. These Football Times' Steven Scragg talks about his brilliant debut book chronicling the history of the Cup Winners' Cup, and the wonderful randomness that made it such an engrossing, unpredictable and much-missed tournament. Head around Europe as he takes you on a tour of unrelenting nostalgia.

Today, we’re back in the capital city - in London's North West and Stratford.  It’s hard to talk about West Ham without mentioning their geographic re-location. Moving away from their home in Upton Park three seasons ago, the Hammers took up residence in the Olympic Stadium bequeathed them in the wake of London 2012.  This sort of casual dismissal of localism in sports fandom has become par for the course in recent years but West Ham’s story seems to offer a parable about the difficulties of a football club uprooting and making a new home.  Only now, three years later, do West Ham look as though they’re about to turn a corner. A new manager last season bolstered by an impressive window, the club looks like they could cement themselves in the race for ‘best of the rest’ this time around.  Could this be their most impressive season in recent years? Or could the influx of new names fail to gel and leave the Irons off the pace?  Joining us today is a well-known name from the world of West Ham fandom: Danny Lewis. Danny is currently working with Snack Media and has contributed to No Place Like Home and These Football Times, as well as various West Ham related websites and fanzines. 

This week on OTB Kevin queries Sam on his recent article on jersey sponsorship for These Football Times, plus a look back at the USMNT friendly with Costa Rica and a look ahead to the Champions League, which returns next week.   Brought to you by TicketIQ and Soccer America.

“The Olympic Games are not held every four years it’s held every day” In today’s episode of the Leader, Manager, Coach podcast, Rob discusses the unsung heroes of the Olympics and goes on to share with you the motivation to achieve your dreams, become obsessed with your happiness and how to remove the resistance from your life. Finally, Rob shares with you how to continue to grow and develop on your own journey. Tune in today to hear this and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Olympic Games are not held every four years it’s held every day. It’s not about the big game, it's not about the FA Cup final, it's not about the TV interview and it's not about the big stage and the bright lights, it's actually about the grind, it's about what you do every day, it's about the decisions you make second by second, it's about the hand on the shoulder, it's about body language and it's about the 10 o'clock at night doing your preparation for the next day. Obsession. You should always watch out and consider whether your obsession is healthy or unhealthy. Some obsessions can hinder you from achieving your goals or living the life that you always dream of such that you are even abandoning everything including your family to fulfil that obsession. That is an unhealthy obsession and you should always avoid it. Obsessed with achieving your dreams. You should always have this kind of obsession which helps you achieve your goals no matter what. It’s no good having the world's best mousetrap if the world doesn't know about it; you have to let people know what it is you're doing. This helps you to get credit when you achieve what it is that you are doing and even sometimes get the financial reward from achieving it. Share the good news with what you do have, how you can help people and how you can be of service with the world.   It’s actually not all about the results it's about the journey. You should always invest more of your time, resources and everything more on the journey or that which is that you are doing in order for you to achieve success. Do not focus a lot on the outcome or the results. You’ve got to go out and you've got to do what you've got to do, irrelevant of what anybody else might think. You should always follow your heart and do what it is that you want to do and what makes you happy. Actually it's not about often learning to do new things, it's actually about learning to either, remove the things that are stopping us, all the resistant, producing things that are in our way, it's about stopping doing the things that are preventing us from getting to where we want to be, avoid these things and be sure that you will find success.   BEST MOMENTS “Olympic Games are not held every four years it’s held every day.” “It’s not about the big game, it's not about the FA Cup final, it's not about the TV interview and it's not about the big lights and the bright stage, it's actually about the grind, it's about what you do every day, it's about the decisions you make second by second, it's about the hand on the shoulder, it's about body language and it's about the 10 o'clock at night doing your preparation for the next day.” “Don’t hide your light under a bushel.” “It’s actually not all about the results it's about the journey.” “You can control what it is you do, you can control your processes, you can control all that, but you cannot necessarily control the outcome.” VALUABLE RESOURCES An online magazine called These Football Times by David Garcia.

Euan McTear (@emctear) is an author and journalist whose work can be seen at Marca, These Football Times, Tifo Football and LaLiga Lowdown. He’s also the guest on this edition of Colchonero Chat, where he joins Into the Calderón manager Jeremy Beren (@JBBeren) and finds stuff to talk about despite being knee-deep in the international break. Jeremy and Euan talk about José Giménez’s latest injury on international before backtracking to analyze Friday’s entertaining Germany-Spain friendly, in which Koke, Saúl and Diego Costa all partook. The podders also talk about Antoine Griezmann’s future, the Paulo Dybala story and the impossible Lautaro Martínez deal. Finally, the guys explore the latest debate and the petition circulating around changing Atlético Madrid’s nine-month-old badge. Jeremy and Euan wonder whether the club will relent and listen to supporter concerns or whether they will keep it moving with the new look.

Colchonero Chat has returned after a most unfortunate one-week delay, but there is much to discuss, so buckle up. Carlo Valladares (@C_V_News) is a football writer for Atlético Fans, the Stoppage Time and These Football Times. Sean Walker (@SeanGWalker) is a writer for World Football and is a member of the Sound of La Liga podcast. They are the guests on this edition of the program, drooling over Antoine Griezmann's stunning goal at San Mamés last Sunday, a goal which helped Atlético Madrid to a 2-2 draw at Athletic Club. While the result in a vacuum was good, there remain questions surrounding Atlético's inability to defeat anyone in the top six and whether or not Diego Simeone's men will be playing Champions League football next season. Focus then turns to Atleti's Copa del Rey adventure, which continued with another 2-2 draw, this time at Eibar on Wednesday. Another delicious late goal, this time from Juanfran, sealed that tie in style, and los colchoneros are full-steam ahead entering the semifinals. Make sure to like Into the Calderón on Facebook, and listen and subscribe to all new and archived episodes on iTunes, Stitcher, Acast, Google Play and TuneIn. (Note: this episode of Colchonero Chat was beset by unforeseen technical and editing difficulties, and as such, concludes rather abrupty - about two minutes before the original recording ended. I'd like to thank my guests Carlo Valladares and Sean Walker for joining me on this edition of the program. Please leave a rating and a review on iTunes. Hasta luego.)

Colchonero Chat wishes you a very Happy New Year and is most pleased that Atletico Madrid have opened it with a victory. Euan McTear (@emctear) is a Spanish football journalist, an Atletico writer for Marca English, a senior writer at These Football Times and the author of "Eibar the Brave: The Extraordinary Rise of La Liga's Smallest Team". He is the guest on this edition of the program, hopping on to discuss Atleti's 2-0 win at Gran Canaria on Tuesday. Of particular note: Antoine Griezmann's new hairstyle and (coincidental?) goal, strong performances from Koke and Sime Vrsaljko, as well as continued experimention with Juanfran at right wing and Jose Maria Gimenez in defensive midfield. The podders then turn their attention to Eibar, Atletico's opponents Saturday. McTear offers insight into this particular iteration of Eibar, including how summer signings Florian Lejeune and Pedro Leon have become key players and how manager Jose Luis Mendilibar has gotten the most out of the Basque side while making them more fun to watch. Be sure to subscribe and listen to all new and archived episodes of Colchonero Chat on iTunes, Stitcher and Acast.

Colchonero Chat rolls ever on, convening for just the second time after an Atletico Madrid defeat. On this edition of the program, Jeremy is joined by Euan McTear of Marca and These Football Times for a discussion of Real Sociedad's deserved 2-0 win over Atletico on Saturday. Carlos Vela and Willian Jose notched goals from the spot for the in-form hosts, and the podders wonder if Atleti's away form is something to worry about. Also, Sociedad ruled the wings and midfield while scoring twice, and the duo talks about what is needed to retain the famous Simeone structure. Jeremy and Euan also talk about what Atletico have and haven't done well to this point in the season, and did Atleti once have a Donald Trump of its own? Find out below, and follow the podders at @JBBeren and @emctear.
