Some pre-match listening perhaps ahead of #CFC’s game at #EFC. I joined a debate with @mjslater.bsky.social and host @aakinwo.bsky.social over the club only getting a PL fine for rule breaches under Abramovich. Was it a fair punishment? pod.fo/e/3b2669

Question : Who picks up the next Ballon d'Or? 🏆 My bet would have been Raphinha if Barca went all the way in the Champions League …

This has to be one of the best editions of the Champions League I can remember. Serious box office from the league phase to the knockout phases. UEFA will most definitely be happy

Has this Premier League season been boring or brilliant? These are the kind of chats I have with myself in my head, glad @oilysailor.bsky.social and @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social could join us on the pod with their thoughts too! Listen here: pod.fo/e/2c834f

Mo Salah is on a 178 goals in the Premier League and what a goal to crown that achievement... a trademark delight. Liverpool still unbeaten away from home.... I'm worried we already know where they'll end up at the end of the season 😩😩

Rasmus Hojlund struggled against Fulham, like he has for much of this season. He has been starved of quality service throughout the campaign. How can Ruben Amorim and Manchester United unlock the potential of a player who could end up costing £72m? ✍️ @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social bit.ly/4juxWSr

Is Manchester City’s title race over already? With us today @jamespearcelfc.bsky.social Sam Lee and @philhay.bsky.social pod.fo/e/28a40e

When it comes to narratives, it’s fair to say Liverpool have solidified their title credentials, Arsenal look on the rise and Chelsea keep getting great results with solid performances. You cannot write off Manchester City though let’s be honest. Liverpool have to be title favourites now surely?

Will Liverpool give Mo Salah what he wants? Such an in depth conversation today with @jamespearcelfc.bsky.social and Simon Hughes on todays @theathleticfc.bsky.social podcast. Take a listen here 🎧 : pod.fo/e/287224

Last night i was invited to an intimate screening of the new Wicked film starring Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande. The actors really elevated the narrative, the direction really brought the stage play to life in an incredibly visceral way. It was films subtext though that really stayed with me ..

Landed in the world of Blue, I’ve heard wonderful things.
