Your weekly dive into Irish footballers & managers making moves across the water. Off The Ball’s Matthew Brennan joins Ger & Colm to recap the last week of Irish performances from across the Irish Sea in The Championship, League One & League Two - as well as further afield across the continent! We’ve put together a team of the week from across the three EFL leagues & will hone in on some of the stand-out/most notable performers from the last round of fixtures! There’s currently five Irish bosses at the helm in the three divisions; in the Championship we’ve got Alan Sheehan at Snoop Dogg’s Swansea, the bulk coming in League One by way former Republic of Ireland international Conor Hourihane at Barnsley, Brian Barry-Murphy at Cardiff & Noel Hunt at Reading, with our sole representative in League Two being Dean Brennan at newly promoted Barnet. We’ll run through how each of them got on - while focusing in on our manager of the week! There’s also a number of former League of Ireland stars now plying their trade in the EFL, so League of Ireland fans, there is plenty in here for you too!

Jimbo’s got the Euro gang back together as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle return for a new season of hijinx and drama across the continent. We begin in France, where underdogs PSG got their title defence underway with a 1-0 win away at Nantes on Sunday night. But is there anyone who can close the 19-point gap? And are Marseille already in self-destruct mode? The Liga season is well and truly underway, with holders Barcelona getting their campaign off to a winning start against the nine men of Mallorca. Real don’t play until Tuesday night - but how equipped are Xavi Alonso’s new-look side to topple Barca? Over in Italy, we’re in store for yet another fascinating title race. The news that Romelu Lukaku is set to miss the first three months of the season with a muscle strain could open the door for a challenger to Napoli’s crown. So will it be a resurgent Milan or perhaps Gasperini’s Roma that put up the greatest fight? And in Germany, Harry Kane’s won another trophy! Bayern take home the Supercup. While there are still some areas of concern for Vincent Kompany’s side - have the teams around them done enough over the summer to produce a title race? Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Just not in French… And moments of the weekend (00.50) • PART 2: Ligue 1 review - PSG off to winning start - Marseille are not (08.55) • PART 3: La Liga review - Barca the favourites ahead of new-look Madrid?
