Football Ramble Presents

Welcome to your first OTC of 2019! We're in the future now, people. But don't worry, there's no robots or flying cars yet, just your regular European football chat from Marcus, Luke, James, and this week, the legendary Mr Jonathan Wilson. This time around, there's plenty of reaction to all the big stories over the festive period, including Fabio Quagliarella's purple patch, Christian Pulisic's move to Chelsea, and the latest fallout from the deplorable racism we saw on Boxing Day in Italy. Elsewhere, Jonathan takes us through the current trend in top level football for a blatant disdain for defending of any description. Don't miss it!

Welcome to the very final episode of On The Continent of 2018! It's the weekend before Christmas but that won't deter us from talking about the big issues as chosen by you, and this time we start with discussion around how the Raheem Sterling racism incident was covered in Europe. Following that there's a closer look at La Masia and why the talent pool appears to have dried up somewhat. And before we go, James and Andy tell us all about Los Che in a post Unai Emery world.

Welcome to your all-new episode of On The Continent! The usual gang are back and getting their teeth into all the big stories from across Europe. This time around, there's disappointment in Italy as Napoli and Inter both crash out of the Champions League on the same night.

Elsewhere, in fully-clothed football matches, Fenerbahce are bang in trouble, Barcelona put in their finest performance of the season, Cristiano taunts Lionel Messi, and a Jadon Sancho-inspired Borussia Dortmund win the Revierderby.
