The Anglo-Italian Pod

[This show was recorded live on our YouTube and Twitch stream on 16/01/23]

It was Blue Monday but everything felt red! This week Adam and Ruairi were once again joined by Andy and it was great to have him back, just in time to talk a derby win? Surely just a coincidence.

To start the pod off we talk our footballing weekends before turning our attention to Serie A and we can only start in one place, Napoli, as they dismantle and destroy a Juve team on a streak to cement their place as the best team in Serie A, who were the difference makers? And where was the game won and lost? We then discuss getting a glimpse of the old Atalanta back as they hit a crazy scoreline against an accomodating Salernitana, then to wrap up we talk Roma and Dybala starting to come up when needed, but who do Fiorentina have? And finally Milan swap roles as they come back this time against a stubborn opposition.

Then it's Premier League time, Ruairi and Andy both chomping at the bit to was lyrical about derby wins, but we start up north in Manchester as Rashford continues his incredible form to seal the win, but that first goal, should it have stood? Then we talk Arsenal stepping up another gear to stroll past Spurs who now look a little bit lost, do they need to go back to go forward? Then we wrap up our Premier League review with a look at the Mudryk deal and what it means for football.

Enjoy the show and dont forget to follow us on Twitter @italiananglopod Insta @angloitalianpod and subscribe on YouTube TheAngloItalianPod

It's the first Friday show of 2023 and listeners it's a bumper one!

We start off by giving Odegaard his flowers and does he have a shout at POTS? And we discuss players who are doing it for the love of the game in both Italy and Spain.

We then round up ALL of the cup action from both the EFL Cup and the Coppa Italia, with shocks in both has it been a good week for both competitions? How much does it mean to the teams left in it? From ten-man Torino stunning the Rossoneri to the Saints slicing open City there is LOTS to discuss and who do we want to win it?

Then we preview this weekend's action starting in Serie A in Naples for the top of the table clash, is Napoli's record against Juve better than we thought and where will the key battles on the pitch be won and lost? Then we take a look across the rest of the weekend, Ruairi has a bold prediction, will Roma Fiorentina be a banger? Where has the Polish contingency been expanded? Serie A is really hotting up!

Next it's Premier League time with some HUGE games, starting with the Manchester Derby, can Manchester United end their rotten form against the noisy neighbours or will City get back to winning ways? Is it in fact possible for both teams to lose? Elsewhere we have De Zerbi taking on Liverpool again, are Brighton favourites? A basement battle between Everton and Southampton, is Frank Lampard about to do what no man has done before? Then we have to talk North London Derby, Spurs are hitting form at the right time, but have Harry and Antonio made a grubby deal that could upset things? This derby never disappoints.

Finally we have a quick transfer round-up, should Ruairi be the DOF at Barcelona as the rumours start to verge on the ridiculous, have Manchester United made some good business in bringing Wout in and how has Joao Felix started life at The Bridge?

We hope you enjoy the show people! And as always follow us on Twitter @ItalianAngloPod Insta @AngloItalianPod TikTok, YouTube, we are everywhere!

We. Are. Back! After a hectic Christmas period Ruairi and Adam are back to take you through the return of Serie A & the 3rd round of the F.A Cup.

To start off we say arrivederci to some icons of the game that left us across the festive period, we reflect on careers and lives lived to the fullest from Gianluca Vialli, Pele and Sinisa, we discuss our memories and what these people meant to so many people.

We then turn our attentions to Serie A and it was all about the late drama, 3 2-2s with last minute equalisers! What was the point in Inter beating Napoli now? What did we learn about both Milan and Roma? And was it Karmic justice for Lazio fans after another one of those stories coming out of their fanbase? Then we look towards the scudetto race, with Napoli vs Juve on the horizon what did this weekend tell us about both teams and what can we expect from the game?

Finally we get to talk about our favourite competition, the F.A Cup, it's 3rd round time and there were plenty of shocks, Owls stunning Magpies! Stevenage stunning Emery and Chelsea disgracing themselves (ok maybe that wasn't a surprise) there was plenty of drama for us to pick through.

We are then joined by Evra (Cameroon), Ibrahim (Senegal), Peter (Brazil), Jack (England), Marko (Serbia), Ander (Spain) and Basri (Morocco) to re live their teams progress as well discuss the key talking points like, the best goals scored, the best matches and the team that most surprised them.

[This episode was recorded live on our YouTube & Twitch stream on 13/12/22]

It's Tuesday and that means you missed our show! But don't worry here we are and we are ready to take you through all things World Cup 2022.

We start off with England vs France, as Les Bleus go through, but the Three Lions show some pride and send us out on our shields. From Gareth's tactical bravery, to the standout players and key moments we talk where it went well and where it didn't. We then discuss if we are Gareth in or out and who could be possible, sensible replacements.

Then it's time for THE story of the tournament as The Atlas Lions take another scalp knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo & co. Walid and his men are tactically unmatched and showing a level of commitment that blows our minds, we look at the players, the tactics and the cleansheets. We then must talk about Portugal, what went wrong for them? How does Ronaldo to continue to make it about himself? And is Ruairi the only person completely sick of him?

Next we go back to the Friday matches as Argentina vs Netherlands shows us peak levels of shithousery, can Argentina go the whole way? And we give a sad farewell to Louis van Gaal as he goes out in style.

Finally we discuss Croatia doing what they do best and taking it all the way with Brazil. Is this the most dislikeable Brazil team of all time? Are they just misunderstood? Why wasn't Martinelli brought on? So many questions... But we also give Croatia their credit, is there a feeling of inevitability in this team? And who will win between Livakovic and Martinez?

As always we finish with our partnership with Cards of Qatar, telling the story of three migrant workers who lost their lives in the build up to this tournament.

This week Ruairi and Adam are joined by football writer and Serie A enthusiast Mark Gordon (@TheMarkGordon) to discuss all the happenings in the World Cup and beyond!

Starting off with the fall out in Poland as Michniewicz and co return and Samuel Eto'o getting his boots back on to take on Algerian football.

We then have to switch our focus to the awful news of a migrant worker losing his life in a team hotel and a whistleblower being kept in prison, these stories feel like they are never-ending. How do we feel about the tournament so far and just how much worse does the lack of sympathy make it all?

Finally we are then able to switch our focus to the pitch, Portugal rise without Ronaldo, Morocco win hearts and minds by overcoming Spain and we then preview some very exciting quarter-finals.

Finally, we then go back to this week's episode of the soap opera that is Juventus FC and get Mark's thoughts on what this means for Italian football and is the image being tarnished yet again.

And as always to finish throughout this World Cup we continue our partnership with Cards of Qatar to tell the stories of three migrant workers who lost their lives in the build up to this tournament.

[This episode was recorded live on our YouTube and Twitch streams on 05/12/22]

It's Tuesday morning and that means it's time to catch up on your favourite football podcast! Ruairi, Adam and Andy all sit down to talk about another hectic weekend in the World Cup!

Fresh from the final whistle at the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium we perform a live autopsy on South Korea as they are torn to pieces by Brazil, are the Selecao clicking into gear? Who is this Richarlison and why are we being forced to like him?

Then we move on to a tense encounter between Extra time experts Croatia and an aggressive and dynamic Japan, it didn't disappoint but Japan's penalties certainly did.

Next we go all the way back to the first of the last 16 games to discuss Louis van Gaal's Oranje Army and a USMNT that are just lacking one little piece. We then go through Poland being entertaining and leaving it all on the field against Mbappe & co. Finally it is time to dicuss the Three Lions with three goals again and look forward to the encounter with France.

And as always, to finish we continue our partnership with Cards of Qatar, telling the stories of three migrant workers who lost their lives in the lead up to this tournament.

Join us as we start off with Japan carrying on their giant killings and what can we expect from them in the next round? Then we talk Germany, what has gone wrong and where from here for poor Hansi. We preview the round of 16 games and recap Groups A-F, talking Australia waltzing on, Tunisia celebrating a big anniversarry in style and Poland taking pragmatism and cynicism to levels never seen before, is it so boring it's actually entertaining? Hear us out. We then talk Senegal and Cisse's tactical nouse ahead of them taking on The Three Lions, what can we expect from the game and what should England be preparing for?

Finally just when you thought Italian football was in rest, Juventus save the day! We then discuss what is happening in Turin, how this has all come about and what we can realistically expect to happen. Rubentus return as they can never stay away for long.

We then finish our episode continuing our partnership with Cards of Qatar, telling the story of 3 migrant workers who suffered in the build up to this tournament.

The band are back together and we are here to cover all the headlines from the World Cup so far!

Starting with Welsh and Iranian tears as Team Melli get a huge win both on and off the field. We then talk Lewa getting his first World Cup goal, Poland winning ugly and Szczesny coming up big when it matters. Next we discuss Messi and Mbappe making the difference and is Theo underrated? Finally it's group E and F as we talk a magical Morocco, a classy Croatia, chaotic Canada and then the first clash of the titans between Spain and Germany. Finally finally there is just enough time to talk an goal heavy Tuesday.

As always throughout our World Cup coverage we continue our partnership with Cards of Qatar, sharing stories of migrant workers in the build up to this tournament.

[This show was recorded on our YouTube and Twitch Livestream on 21/11/22]

It's our first livestream of the tournament, and there is already a lot to talk about, we start with a underwhelming Qatar and a flamboyant Ecuador, then it's time to talk about the inevitable controversy that follows anything at this tournament, from failed protests to fans not getting into the stadium and being more fans than seats, this tournament is full of surprises.

We then turn our focus to a rampant England and a fragile Iran, but one team showed real backbone in the face of adversity, spoiler alert it wasn't the Three Lions. We have a love in for Bellingham and Saka and discuss a good day at the office for Harry. Next it's Netherlands vs Senegal, who was unluckey and who were lucky? And just what has happened to Edouard Mendy? Then finally we just manage to squeeze in some Wales vs USA chat as they share the spoils and you know who scores for the Welshmen, he's always there!

We take our first peek "Through the Keyshole" for what has been a big week for gibbon mitts himself and then preview all of the games between now and Thursday evening.

Next up we give our bold predictions of what will happen at Qatar 2022, winner? Top scorer? Player of the tournament? Dark horses? The Turkey award? The El Hadj Diouf award? And The Andrew Jennings award? Find out who we think will be collecting them.

Then finally we partner up with Cards of Qatar an incredible organisation based in Sweden who are sharing the stories of the people who have lost their lives in the build up to this tournament, we cannot overstae how much we admire them for taking on this project and doing vital work, we share three of their stories and hope that they will stick with you.
