Andy O'Brien; Howard Webb; MLS looks to return; players mental health; and much more

We're packing up our metaphorical bags and jetting off with Andy Brassell for another episode of At The Match Revisited, as we take a look back at a time when we could get out and enjoy world football's best atmospheres. Today, Andy heads to Los Angeles to watch LAFC in their inaugural MLS season. He meets up with Jose Salcedo of the District 9 Ultras, plus 3252 members Karla Villaseñor and Sam Ko, to discuss why being in downtown Los Angeles is crucial, and why - even though their local rivals had Zlatan Ibrahimović at the time - they don’t envy the Galaxy. Then, join Andy out on the terraces as Will Ferrell leads the chanting and he basks in the amazing and authentic terrace atmosphere that this young club has managed to create.

With each passing day there are more and more ideas put forward for how to finish the season. This time around we have Neutral Venues With No Relegation and Do it All in Australia! Some are more sensible than others. It’s not just the Premier League that needs finishing though. What of the FA Cup? Pete reiterates that Newcastle United have scored the most goals so far - because of their replays against lower league opposition - so should probably win it. We’ve got lots more than that though, we’ve got a Dennis Bergkamp fronted consortium sniffing around clubs, we’ve got Jim’s surprising court appearances, Pete “Every day is Tyskie day” Donaldson’s birthday, Luke’s golf insight, some utter filth from Barry Davies, a plea to unify Mother’s Day and the latest entry into Pete’s Film Club.

Early in 2020, the OneGoal.us (subscribe to their USMNT newsletter) sat down with promising New England Revolution fullback Brandon Bye. A top ten draft pick from 2018, Bye has featured as a regular for the MLS side and shared about his career and the transition from college to professional soccer in the USA. Leading the interview was OneGoal's head of content Ross Hall, who actually was classmates with Bye back in his college days. Audio edited by the Rooster and the Devil podcast (@roosterdevil).

We’re back for a new episode of Jules & Andy and, in the light of Phil Neville stepping down as England women’s manager, we’ve called on an 80-cap international to help us assess his time in charge. Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis joins us to discuss her thoughts on why they have not capitalised on last year’s momentous World Cup performance, how Neville will be remembered and who may replace him – will former USA manager Jill Ellis take over?
