After Manchester City's opening day win at Stamford Bridge, David Mooney is joined by Dan Burke from One Football and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the game. Who were the standout performers against Chelsea and how did City solve the no-Rodri problem so well? We take a look at Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis and Bernardo Silva in particular.It looks like Ilkay Gundogan could be returning, too, so we look at how his arrival could affect the options in the squad and the make-up of Pep Guardiola's team selections.It's Ipswich Town next - and the first meeting in the league between the teams since they relegated City from the Premier League in 2001. Mooney explains why, around that time, he utterly despised the club... and we discover if he's managed to let go of those old hang-ups with Rich from The Suffolk Crunch, who also tells us all about what to expect from Kieran McKenna's side on Saturday.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Simon Bibby joins James to discuss Newcastle's FPL assets with interest very high and the perfect combination of attractive fixtures and some players very nicely priced. Alexander Isak is a shoo-in, isn't he? There's discussion on the Swedish forward, while fellow attacker Anthony Gordon is also going to be a popular pick, as long as he starts against Southampton in Gameweek 1. He will start; won't he? There's going to be interest in the 4.5 defenders with Dan Burn, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento all under scruting but the answer of which one to go for may be impacted by the future of Kieran Trippier. Si reveals his preference from the three and if extra should be paid for Nick Pope if wanting defensive coverage. Plus, there's another attacker that has Si's interest and the Podcast begins with chat on Eddie Howe's future with the England job available, why he's got to get the club back in the Champions League this season and there's coverage of the changes made an ownership level.

Suj and James reflect on last night's European Championship Final that ended in a deserved triumph for Spain and defeat for England. The inquest now begins for England after the 'reality check' of being beaten by a team that was more incisive, kept the ball better and had more tactical flexibility. Should Gareth Southgate stand down as manager? Has he earned the right to make that decision himself? Plus, looking ahead, some big decisions need to be made about some of the personnel on the way towards 2026 in the search to become a better 'team'.

We're back with another packed show of Canadian national team and World Cup chat.After the promise and excitement of the Belgium game and the raised expectations that came with that excellent performance, Canada crashed and burned at the World Cup in their second match against Croatia and have been eliminated with one group game remaining.There's a lot to be proud of from a team that wasn't supposed to be in Qatar, rose in the rankings at a phenomenal pace, and ignited a whole new interest in and respect for the Canadian men's national team. They deserved to be there and they showed they belonged, performing tremendously in three of the four halves of football they've played so far. But there's also rightful criticism that can be levelled at the team for their team selection, tactics, and questionable off field decisions.We delve into all of that and a lot more and pose the question, what now for Canada? Not just in their one remaining match in Qatar but as they move forward and build, both on and off the pitch, heading into 2026.Plus we look back at all of the action so far in Qatar as the second round of group games come to a close and chat about some of the main talking points making the headlines.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.30: Intro04.05: Canada eliminated after Croatia loss29.43: Supporter and media postgame takes47.52: What now for Canada now and heading into 2026?71.35: The 2022 World Cup - Groups A and B recaps84.35: Wavelength - Kunt and the Gang - Let's Have A Wank For England89.40: The 2022 World Cup - Groups C, D, and E recaps102.00: The 2022 World Cup - Groups G and H recaps

With Fantasy Premier League launched yesterday Suj & James pour over the details of the player prices, assessing who's value, who's not and structuring team selection for Gameweek 1. There's talk on the Magnificent 7, the template choices already developing in teams and whether there are differential alternatives within the same teams who can be picked. James identifies budget enablers across the positions who should be of interest and why these players could eliminate a lot of more experience options from thinking.

Welcome to Episode 49 of Glory Days of Gold. The fourth, and what is now sadly our final, of our Euro 2020 specials.The dream is over. Scotland returned to a major tournament for the first time in 23 years and it was like we had never left, as they failed to make it out of the group stages again and all the hopes were left lying in tatters following a 3-1 loss to a much better Croatia side, all made even worse by not doing it on home soil at Hampden.So while there's pride at the performance against England, and some fighting spirit shown in all three games, ultimately we struggled from not having a deadly finisher that could take the chances that were being created. Was that the main difference between qualifying or not or was it Scotland's shape, tactics, and team selections that let them down? How big a loss was Billy Gilmour? And were we just all swept up in the emotional rollercoaster of just being there and simply outplayed?Kenny Deuchar joins Lee, Doug, and Gordon to look at all of that and more, and ponder what's next for the Scotland national team and who should be the players to try and get us to Qatar next year?

Twenty five years on from their last tournament meeting, Scotland spring an upset of sorts with an encouraging 0-0 draw against England that keeps their Euro 2020 hopes alive. Alice Piper is joined by Luke Shanley, Jess Creighton and Peter Smith to examine exactly where Scotland got it right, before conducting the inquest into England’s toothless display. | PART 1: A Wembley performance for Scotland to savour as Steve Clarke’s selection earns alibis from supporters and lays the foundation for Tuesday’s “must-win” showdown with Croatia. What’s gone wrong with Harry Kane? (13:59) Will Gareth Southgate drop his captain against the Czech Republic? Is it time for Jack Grealish? | PART 2: Sky Sports News reporter Geraint Hughes joins Alice (35:51) to reflect on Wales’ triumph over Turkey in Baku before looking ahead to Sunday's final group game against Italy in Rome.

Welcome to Episode 47 of Glory Days of Gold. The second of our Euro 2020 specials.After all the excitement, all the expectations, all the enthusiasm after a 23 year wait, it was almost as if it was yesterday that Scotland were at a major tournament as all the hurt and disappointment came flooding back with a 2-0 defeat by the Czech Republic at Hampden on Monday afternoon.We're joined again by Dr Goals Kenny Deuchar to pick over the bones of the game and chat about the nature of the defeat, the team selection, Steve Clarke's managerial style, the mentality of the Scottish fans, and a lot more.Plus we look ahead to the big game with the Auld Enemy at Wembley on Friday. Are we on a hiding to nothing or can we shock the world? Can we afford to be attack minded or is being defensive our only chance? And who should play in this one? Are the guys optimistic for this one?

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and football chat.The Whitecaps remain unbeaten in MLS after the week 2 action.

If last week was a bad weekend for Vancouver Whitecaps, this one was far worse. Not only did they lose 6-0 in Kansas City, seven of their Western rivals picked up three points and they fell out of the promotion places when you look at points per game. Clearly not the response sought or expected after the failings in the last two matches. We pick over carcass of that loss in KC and there's a lot to ponder. Where did it all go wrong and where does the team go from here? Team selection, tactics, poor discipline, horrible defending, and Robbo's postgame comments. We talk about all those things and a lot more. Plus we have a chat with LAFC assistant coach Marc Dos Santos, see how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, find out if the Cap killer Johnny Russell fancies a chocolate digestive, play Do You Know Who I Am? and Half Man Half Biscuit are back in our Wavelength section.
