Nagelsmann’s naivety, Mbappe’s pivot and Xabi’s smart start

Jimbo and the continental panel of Raphael Honigstein, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo shine a light on the big stories in European football this week. Bayern throw away a 2-0 lead in Dortmund, with questions starting to be asked of whether Julian Nagelsmann is the long-term future of the club.

England are pegged back in Poland late on in a game where Gareth Southgate doesn’t make any substitutions. Does the England manager have a tendency to freeze on the big stage?

Arteta Needs To Jump-Leeds - Purely Arsenal Ep 66

The Purely Arsenal podcast (@purelyarsenalFP) is brought to you with host Jack Sessions (@Jack10Gooner) and special guests James Johnstone (@LLcoolJames91) and Michael Harris (@ChopperH5791). We discuss the the last two defeats against Wolves and Villa away, starting with some positives like Pepe, the first half at Wolves, Saka. Then we move onto the negatives such as poor reactions to shocking refereeing decisions, why Arteta should be playing better with 10 men and where this leaves Arsenal in the league now. We discuss the manager and measuring progression from a fans perspective, we look ahead to the Leeds game with concerns over Partey and Tierney and discuss many fans questions!

S4 Ep7: Kevin Keegan's England - Part 2

In Part Two, Keegan goes into full Keegan mode, with the smiles broad as England take a 2-0 lead against Portugal in their first group match. The panel reflect on why David Beckham was right in his belief that it was a precarious lead as Portugal eventually cruised to an easier victory than the 2-3 scoreline suggests.After a 1-0 win over a ponderous Germany in which Keegan’s lack of tactical nous mattered less than his ability to motivate players, the epic drama concludes with the tragicomic defeat to Romania, Phil Neville’s impetuous late foul and the subsequent penalty leaving England, with Fowler, Owen and Scholes looking on from the bench, needing a goal that doesn’t come.In the epilogue, a miserable farewell to the miserable old Wembley Stadium sees Didi Hamann skid in a long-range winner and Keegan resign in the toilets, some players in tears and Keegan himself writing his obituary as an England manager - "I'm not up to it”. He may not have been, but Rob, Lee and Gary, with the perspective of 20 years, find that there’s much to commend about the lad from Doncaster whose heart was always to be found just below the T-shirt line we hear so much about these days.

£1bn spent since Fergie: Man Utd's transfers assessed - the hits, the flops, the managers, the hierarchy

In the 2020 summer transfer window, Manchester United surpassed £1bn spent on players since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The honours they have to show for it? An FA Cup, a League Cup, and a Europa League. So why hasn’t money spent translated into success? On this Pitch to Post Podcast special, Jasper Taylor is joined by James Cooper, Gerard Brand and Jack Wilkinson to take an in-depth look at Manchester United AD - that’s After Dominance - and dissect their transfer business post Fergie. We go through the managers (06:05), Ed Woodward and the hierarchy (23:06), and ask: do United need a sporting director? We also look to the future, including what the club should do with Paul Pogba (35:52), and Jack and Gerard give their 5-4-3-2-1: five worst, four best, three that got away early, two past legends to rejoin and the one future signing in today's market (48:46).

A Spoonful Of Sugar | #ThrowbackThursday | Planet #FPL

On this Thursday Throwback Suj & James look back on Alan Sugar's (Sir or Lord depending on your current preferences) period as Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur between 1991 and 2000. There's a focus on Sugar's takeover with Terry Venables and the court case that would lead to Venables departure from the club in 1993, plus a host of managerial mistakes during the 90s as the White Hart Lane club stood still while other clubs progressed. Yet there were still stars at The Lane to be remembered with fondness such as Teddy Sheringham, David Ginola & there's insight into the incredible and shocking signing of Jurgen Klinsmann. James offers a fan account of his memories of Tottenham in the 90s and there are laughs aplenty at many of the mishaps that encountered the North London Club. ________________________________ Web: www.planetfpl.com Twitter: @PlanetFPLPod (James) / @sujanshah (Suj) Facebook: www.facebook.com/PlanetFPL Instagram: @planetfpl You Tube: www.youtube.com/planetfpl Learn more about your ad choices.

Emery BOARD Meeting Awaits?

Jack Sessions (@Jack10Gooner) chats with Neil shah (@Neilby70) and James Johnstone (@LLcoolJames91) about the 2-2 away draw at Watford.

Everything is the worst, but can it be fixed?

There are bigger problems in the world, but two very depressed Mikes reflect on the utter calamity that crashed with a hollow thud in Trinidad and Tobago and cannot be ignored. What's the USMNT doing wrong? What could it be doing right? Is there a manager out there who makes more sense than others? Will the USSF go that direction, or do something disappointingly predictable? How do you organize the narratives floating around this mess? And if you're tired of thinking about it, they cleanse th...
