Steven Gerrard

Joe, Seb & Alex reconvene during the international break to discuss whether Steven Gerrard has jeopardised his 'dream' of managing Liverpool by taking the job at Aston Villa... Also, why Norwich appointing Dean Smith covers all the bases, how Arsenal have surprised Joe and how tactically flexible Vieira's Crystal Palace are. Plus, Seb and Alex reflect on some interesting international football and, in particular, USA's scary progress ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2026. Hosted on Acast.

It’s the 200th episode of 'Stadio'! Musa and Ryan begin with announcements of some forthcoming guests on the Ringer FC feed before moving on to the action from the Women’s Super League, which saw the points shared in the North London Derby (07:45), Chelsea once again cruise past Manchester City, and much more drama (15:28). There was also a top-of-the-table clash in the super-competitive Frauen Bundesliga this weekend, with the top five separated by just one point (21:30). In Part 2, for the 200th episode, they each pick a "what-if" and go on to discuss what would have happened if Steven Gerrard had signed for Chelsea in 2006 (24:19) and Thomas Tuchel had replaced Arsène Wenger in 2018 (44:13).

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton to look at the different challenges faced by three newly appointed managers in the Premier League. We’ll hear about the unlikely bond between Steven Gerrard & Christian Purslow that played a part in Gerrard landing the Aston Vila job. They also look at how Newcastle United could be about to be given a new identity by new boss Eddie Howe and how they might approach the transfer window - The Athletic's George Caulkin will join us for that. And Michael Bailey will be with us to tell us why Norwich City have decided to go for Dean Smith as their new manager and why Frank Lampard pulled out. Hosted on Acast.

Hosts Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by bet365's Steve Freeth to discuss Steven Gerrard's appointment as Aston Villa boss - Is it really a bad thing if he views Villa as a stepping stone to Liverpool? Plus, why Norwich choosing Frank Lampard to replace Daniel Farke would be a surprise... The trio also attempt to pick Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup in Qatar next year and look ahead to an important week for both Scotland and Wales' qualification hopes.

The Papa John's Trophy served up some more lukewarm slices last night, with AFC Wimbledon eliminated and Newcastle United U21's battered at Mansfield. At least Jonjo Shelvey's been signing some local cans of lemonade, the good sport. Jules, Andy and Pete pour some garlic butter over more football nonsense, with Steven Gerrard casting an eye southwards and Xavi putting the Catalan hammer down. We also put ourselves forward for Man United's new handyman job - bicycle not included.

James is joined by Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson to discuss the sacking of Dean Smith as manager and ask what's next for the Midlands Club? Was Smith's sacking deserved or does it show a lack of patience in a manager who has essentially hit target every season so far in his Villa reign? Are Villa in free fall and heading for a battle with relegation? And who might be next? Steven Gerrard's name is being mentioned in certain circles, could he be the man who Villa appoint? And would the appointment offer any guarantees of success? Plus, the depth of the squad is discussed and why so far the men bought to replace Jack Grealish haven't gelled as expected.

David Moyes is back in charge at West Ham as they once again ask him to ferry them to safety! Is anything surprising any more? No, not really. Elsewhere in London, Arsenal and Chelsea played out an energetic game that felt like a victory for Arsenal - despite it being a victory for Chelsea - because they weren’t booed off. Small victories and all that. There was also lots of action in the Championship, Steven Gerrard’s Rangers got one over on Celtic and we chat thrusting, IKEA stadiums and cramp.
