After a week off we're back. Only because you sent us so many emails and stuff. No, really. Both of you showing such concern really meant a lot to us.

  • The transfer window - Kaka, Bellamy, De Jong, Palacios and more inflated prices
  • Italy - Gabriele gives us an Italian perspective on the Kaka story plus more about Mourinho
  • Spain - Luigi on Ramon Calderos's resignation and Eto'o's madness
  • Premier League predictions
  • Tom's thoughts on Rafa's rant and contract situation
  • Other stuff (may contain nuts)

The Week in Football - Episode 82

Thursday, 08 January 09, 05:04 PM

Happy new year TWIFers, hope you had a jolly nice festive season and all that came with it.

In this week's show we decided there had been just too much football to catch up with everything so you'll find the following:

  • Our pathetic attempt to catch up with everything
  • Transfer news, rumours and speculation
  • News from Italy with Gabriele
  • A look at the Spanish fixtures for this coming weekend
  • Where are they now?
  • Fantasy Football update
  • Premier League predictions

So enough to ease you gently into a new podcasting year.

And there's more waffle in there too. You can subscribe to The Week in Football using iTunes by clicking here, if you want to subscribe to the RSS feed itself the URL is here, you can download the podcast directly here or you can listen from this page:

The week in football - episode 77

Thursday, 20 November 08, 12:51 PM

Hello all, hope you had a good week in football. My week in football was quite poo, thanks for asking. Defeat for my teams (the one I support and the one I play for) has left me most unhappy with football but this week is a new week and who knows.

Anyway, on to this week's podcast and up for discussion this week are:

  • International friendlies and should clubs be compensated when players are injured on international duty (see: Arsenal + Theo Walcott)
  • What's wrong with Arsenal? Great one week, crap the next.
  • Italian football including this weekend's crunch game between Inter and Juventus
  • A brief look ahead to the Spanish fixtures
  • Premier League review, discussion and predictions

The week in football - episode 76

Thursday, 13 November 08, 11:47 AM

Hello Twifters,

football is much better this week than last week. For me anyway. Tom is somewhat unhappy at Liverpool losing to Spurs (again) but reckons he has discovered the worst player playing in England at the moment. Besides that we've got:

  • More Carling Cup reaction including Arsenal's kids and their win over Wigan, Chelsea's loss to Burnley (haha, Ray Wilkins), and the teams through to the next round
  • Gabriele from Italy on Jose Mourinho and the upcoming Rome derby
  • Luigi from Spain on Eto'o, Higuain and why Bernd Schuster's job at Real Madrid is under threat
  • We touch on Mark Hughes at Man City
  • Chris Morgan's filthy elbow on Barnsley's Iain Hume
  • Premier League preview and predictions

So, plenty to get your teeth into. And by teeth I mean ears.

The week in football - episode 75

Thursday, 06 November 08, 01:53 PM

Happy footballing Thursday to you all and welcome to another The Week in Football. On a personal level it's been a bit of crap week as far as football is concerned. But then you can't enjoy the good times as much unless you go through the bad, right?

On this week's show there's much to get through, such as:

  • Champions League review featuring the English clubs
  • Tom Thom(p)son's thoughts on Tony Adams' head
  • A look at La Liga
  • Gabriele's round up from Italy including Inter vs AC in the press
  • Fantasy Football round-up
  • Premier League predictions

And there's loads of other great stuff in there too. Well, maybe not loads. And maybe it's not great, but it's definitely stuff.

The week in football - episode 74

Thursday, 30 October 08, 02:29 PM

'Football is a funny old game', someone once said. Well, I'd like to find that person and stick a hammer up his arse and see if he still finds it funny when your team lets slip a two goal lead with just minutes to go. I realise the two things are barely related but there you go.

On this week's podcast we have the following for your aural delectation:

  • Me explaining why football is rubbish + Arsenal 4-4 Spurs discussions
  • Liverpool's win at the weekend over Chelsea
  • Fat Ronaldo
  • Fat Maradona
  • Udinese and Napoli top the table in Italy
  • Pedrag Mijatovic is making everyone laugh in Spain
  • Premier League predictions
  • Fantasy Football update

So, action packed as always.
