World Cup News

Oh dear, Southampton fans. Not only did your team ship nine goals for the second season in a row, but a delighted Luke Moore is on today’s show. He’s joined by Kate and Pete to pick through the startling, smouldering rubble left behind at Old Trafford. There were some other chaotic results in last night’s Premier League action, as Sheffield United began the long and daunting climb to safety while David Luiz left his grubby, predictable paw prints all over Arsenal’s bizarre loss at Wolves. Speaking of bizarre, André Villas-Boas' reign at Marseille has come to a salty end - is he lining himself up for the Newcastle job? We hope so.

Despite all football in Europe now grinding to a halt, there’s plenty to discuss on today’s episode of On The Continent, with Luke Moore and Andy Brassell! We begin with a curious story surrounding Barcelona’s recent transfer history as it’s being reported in Spain that the club may be prepared to part ways with Antoine Griezmann. Luke and Andy discuss their mismanaged transfer strategy in the last few years as well as their recent financial issues. We then take time to touch on the sad passing of former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz and his storied career, as well as reflecting on the anniversary of the death of the great Johan Cruyff. And, before we go, there’s also time for an assessment of the coaching seasons of André Villas-Boas and Simone Inzaghi at Marseille and Lazio respectively. Fancy getting in touch?
