Any questions for tomorrow's pod? @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @larssivertsen.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social

Popping on to TNT Sports’ buildup of Freiburg-Villa from 19:10 BST. We’ll have a feature too from our trip to Freiburg last week. 👋

Freiburg fans making their mark in Istanbul.

In Istanbul to see SC Freiburg play in a Europa League final. Just a very nice story really.

Wunderschönes Interview, in dem @archiert1.bsky.social einem Villa-Kanal den SC Freiburg erklärt. Inklusive eines Haufens Anekdoten von der Abraham-Affäre bis Moby Dick. (Leider auch mit Re-Traumatisierung des Pokalfinales in Berlin.) #SCFreiburg www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCc_...

We got Bayern’s Michael Olise with us on @espnfc-m.bsky.social for the first time this season! In return, he got a beer shower😁

Nine years on! With TNT Sports as part of the SC Freiburg media day ahead of the Europa League final next week. Glad to be involved in the coverage of this special club in Istanbul.

SC Fortuna Köln ist wieder da! 🥹

This was nine years ago. Julian Schuster told me then how Christian Streich would inspire them at Freiburg. Fair to say he's gone on and down some special things now in his own right. Remarkable achievement that they reach the Europa League final. thesetpieces.com/interviews/s...

“With this coach (Sebastian Hoeness), give him the players he wants, I think it can go like this for another 10 years.” And how, Deniz Undav, do Stuttgart beat Bayern? “Praying that they do a lot of mistakes!” @espnfc-m.bsky.social

“I am the right example for our problem this season a little bit. My performances haven’t been constant.” It takes some courage to reflect like this on your own performance in front of the cameras with us. Respect to Leverkusen’s Mark Flekken. @espnfc-m.bsky.social

Bayern Munich Sprinklers 1-0 ESPN

Tomorrow’s @footballweekly.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @jonathanliew.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social Any questions?

Huge weekend in German football. Fortuna Düsseldorf replaced coach Markus Anfang with Alexander Ende. Literally in German, they replaced Anfang, beginning with Ende, end. What a time to be alive.

Serge Gnabry up to 99 Bundesliga goals. Coach Vincent Kompany: “He can float under the radar a little bit.” Talks about the players he compares him with too, plus a word on his own communication style. Interview after Bayern 4-0 Union Berlin @espnfc-m.bsky.social

Serge Gnabry calls Harry Kane “Harrydinho”. His second goal last night was worthy of it. “He’s the only one that calls me that…but after that goal, maybe a couple more will chip in.” Interview for TNT Sports after Bayern Munich’s 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta.

🎉Happy Birthday @barryglendenning.bsky.social 🍰 Card courtesy of @archiert1.bsky.social Pod COMING SOON ⌛

221. Mal bei Craven Cottage aber zum ersten Mal dabei als Reporter. Ein schönes Erlebnis.

Harry Kane joins the show after Bayern's Der Klassiker win 🎙️

Coming up live on ESPNFC. Bit early for the big one tomorrow.

Greetings from Macclesfield. ✌️

Montag geht es wieder los! ⬇️🥳

This week I sat down with Bayern Munich and Germany defender Jonathan Tah for ESPN. Talked about life at Bayern, Florian Wirtz, Vincent Kompany and Xabi Alonso. Here’s the chat in full. youtu.be/kq5cKrkFK_o?...

Does Vince McMahon have a Bavarian cousin?

Der Fußball bleibt ungeschlagen 😅

👋At Benfica - Real Madrid for TNT Sports tonight. Bit wet.

Augsburg coach Manuel Baum promised his daughter a horse if he made it to 100 Bundesliga games. It happened. What does she get for an away win at Bayern? “She was in the stadium. She didn’t ask for something, so I was happy!” Also broke down his tactical plan with us on @espnfc-m.bsky.social

Manuel Neuer was warming up behind us on ESPN today…

"We are always here - we are the terrace" With the Südkurve closed due to pyro, FC Bayern's active fan scene has relocated to the upper tier. In a statement, the ultras say they have "proven that collective punishments are ineffective and ... can be rendered absurd at any time." #UCL

🚨 Are Manchester City in crisis? 🫡 Thomas Frank lives to fight another day as Spurs boss. 👏 It's seven wins from seven games for Arsenal. @maxrushden.bsky.social @nickybandini.bsky.social @philippeauclair.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social

As of this morning, 1. FC Köln have sold over 41,000 tickets for their U19's UEFA Youth League game against Inter Milan on Wednesday, 4th Feb (kick-off: 6pm) - a new record. The previous record for a Youth League fixture was 40,368 for Tabzonspor vs. Inter in April 2025. #effzeh 🐐

What happened to Bayern at half time, 1-0 down? “We just went: right let’s just see what you’ve got and go full out. No fear.” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany gave a good overview of where he feels his team is at after a 5-1 win over RB Leipzig. With Thomas Hitzlsperger on @espnfc-m.bsky.social

In case you missed it, yesterday's interview with Michel Platini: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Hadn’t seen Fulham win live since 2019. 10 games, 0 wins. Last time it happened, I couldn’t enjoy it. Depressed out of my mind, hadn’t started therapy. A year ago, with therapist approval, I was able to stop. So being there v Liverpool + tonight v Chelsea? Very special indeed

Good evening 😁

And with this, the 2025 season comes to an end! Marc und ich haben uns vertragen und einen Hinrundenrückblick aufgenommen! Lieben Dank für eure Unterstützung!

"The Premier League ain't the only league out there even though a lot of people think it is." Spoke to Harry Kane this week for @espnfc-m.bsky.social Full interview here on Bayern's season so far, World Cup, Champions League hopes and more. youtube.com/watch?v=7EC2...

Germany.

"Ihr Kampf, das darf nicht vergessen werden, ist in großen Teilen einer, der den Fußball in der Bundesliga am Leben hält." Lesen Sie @uersfeld.bsky.social, denn er ist gut. www.n-tv.de/sport/fussba...

Ich habe schlechte Laune

En route to Bayern - Valerenga tonight in the Women’s Champions League. Was stopped in my tracks…

Sat down for a chat this morning with Harry Kane, coming soon to ESPNFC. The finger wag was an attempted description of a Phil Brown Xmas jumper, not in shot 😢

Ashes series in Australia are a graveyard for England careers. A telling stat from @nickhoultcricket.bsky.social

A bit of love for Mainz. Here’s Lennard Maloney with us on @espnfc-m.bsky.social after their 2-2 draw at Bayern. Full of praise for 18-year-old goalscorer Kacper Potulski. Also asked him about his World Cup chances with the USMNT.

Never thought I would get to ask a Bayern Munich coach: “Are you saying you’re the Death Star?” But Vincent Kompany dropped a Star Wars reference so 🤷‍♂️ @espnfc-m.bsky.social

When you need to lift a curse...

👋At 1. FC Nürnberg v VfL Wolfsburg today in the Frauen Bundesliga.

*Fulham's terrible record at Burnley awareness post* You might see Fulham travelling to Burnley today and think they should win that? WRONG. Fulham have not won on any of their last *34 visits* to Turf Moor. This run stretches back 74 years to 1951. Cursed.

Ich habe mit Markus Hennig, Anwalt von Kasia Lenhardt, über die kürzlich erschienene ARD-Doku über Jérôme Boateng gesprochen. Er bezeichnet diese als „völlig daneben“. „Sie erscheint wie ein Gefälligkeitswerk für Jérôme Boateng und sendet die falsche Botschaft.“
