Safe Standing

Union Berlin sit top of the Bundesliga and last week, Andy travelled there to witness European football history in their first Europa League game against Belgium's history-makers, Union Saint-Gilloise. After UEFA announced a trial for safe standing, Union Berlin were at last able to bring European football home – just three years after securing their first ever promotion to the Bundesliga. Andy takes in Union’s legendary atmosphere and speaks to fans on both sides on what was a truly special night for two clubs championing the little guy. Where should Andy head to next?

The magic of the Carabao lives on, as David Moyes got one over his old employers and AFC Wimbledon accepted an invite to the big dance at the Emirates. Shame they lost - can't have it all, Andy. Andy's joined by Jules and Luke for a roundup of the other League Cup matches, where Chelsea and Spurs scraped through on penalties and the Seagulls did the business again.

With West Ham not playing until Wednesday this week the focus very much turns to Tottenham and some wider issues, there is focus on the Dele Alli Snapchat incident, the Oxford English Dictionary deciding to weigh in on the Y Word debate, a section on why safe standing is a way forward and how it's already working at White Hart Lane, plus coverage of the 3-2 win at Aston Villa. _________________________________________ 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.
