Ravel Morrison joins the podcast this week, and might just be the most surprising guest we have ever had on Undr The Cosh. Ravel lifts the lid on the lies, rumours, and misconceptions so many people have about him and why he never lived up to his potential. From a young age, Ravel had eyes on him as he came through the ranks at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, where he was widely regarded as the best talent in the academy. With a dressing room full of world-class professionals like Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s hard to understand why so much of that talent went unfulfilled. Despite his raw ability, Sam Allardyce managed to get glimpses of his best including that unforgettable goal against Tottenham but after agent disputes, he was forced out the door and once again labelled a “bad egg.” After moving abroad, Ravel hit the lowest point in his career under Simone Inzaghi at Lazio before rediscovering his love for football playing in Mexico. And of course, in true Undr The Cosh fashion, we get the full story behind his obsession with tuna, the infamous incident involving Lee Clark’s pond, and why Gary Neville once lost it and smashed his phone. Ravel opens up about the people who lied about him, his beef with Zaha and explains exactly where things went wrong and why a player with his level of talent never fulfilled his full potential.

John Bennett is joined by Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and James Horncastle. How has Cristiano Ronaldo elongated his career? The Portuguese striker is still scoring in Saudi Arabia so a former Manchester United performance coach tells us how he’s done it. Which team in Europe was the busiest in the January transfer window? Which winter window buys could prove a win for the buying clubs? They discuss Mathys Tel and Rennes' deadline-day dash. Also, is Ousmane Dembele finally fulfilling his potential? BBC Sounds / 5 Live commentaries this week: Wed 5 Feb 2000 Newcastle v Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, Thu 6 Feb 2000 Liverpool v Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, Fri 7 Feb 2000 Man Utd v Leicester in the FA Cup.

This week. It Was What It Was asks: What is it with Portuguese football? With Ruben Amorim arriving at Manchester United, there are now as many Premier League managers from Portugal as from England coaching this season. Portugal also has the fourth highest-quota of Premier League players (after England, Brazil and France). For a nation of just over 10 million, it consistently punches above its weight. Amorim’s rise to one of the biggest jobs in world football is located in the reform of Portuguese football in the 1980s - and specifically in the university faculty that helps turn out some of the world’s best coaches. Join Jonathan and Rob as we go back to school with Ruben Amorim, speaking to the mentors who forged him as a coach. It's a journey that takes in Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and super agent Jorge Mendes.
