Welcome to your latest episode of On The Continent! Come in and put your feet up. This week, we head out to Spain and pore over the fallout around Julen Lopetegui's sacking, trying to ascertain who might follow in his footsteps (clue: they probably need to be mates with Sergio Ramos), wonder what happened to Benfica in their game at Belenenses, and find out why Phillip Cocu is the new Frank de Boer. Over in Italy, we learn a lot about Lazio and their ambitions this season, and on the way home we stop in on France and the aftermath of Le Classique.

Happy weekend, everyone! This time around on your all-new Mailbag, we dig into Marco Verratti and his reputation as a world class midfielder, Luka Modric's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, and European clubs due a resurgence. Elsewhere we discuss the possibility of corporate clubs appearing in Italy, which R'n'B stars Andy and James are most like, and just who had the best hair in Serie A in the 90s... Don't miss it!

Greetings, OTCers! We are once again back with our weekly look at the most interesting events in European football, and we start this week by looking at Juventus' chances of winning The Big One after their dominant performance at Old Trafford. After that there's Milan derby chat, a trip across to Germany, Thierry Henry's first game in charge of Monaco, and Espanyol and Alaves' rise to the summit of La Liga. And, as you'd expect from OTC by now, there's plenty more besides!

This weekend on your all-new Mailbag, Marcus puts the boys through their paces on subjects as disparate as the personality of Sergio Ramos, Kevin Lasagna's international call up, and football clubs based on islands away from their respective country's mainland. There's obviously also time for all your usual favourites including the twitter rapid-fire round, and Marcus waxing lyrical about how good a striker he is/was (Gabriel Batistuta comparison, anyone?)...

Ciao tutti! We're back with a round-up of the latest international games including Spain's defeat at the hands of Marcus Speller's brave England, Germany's two defeats against Netherlands and France, and Ronald Koeman's tenure at the helm of the aforementioned Dutch.

First up on the premier podcast about European football centred around answering questions from listeners on the internet, and no it isn't a packed list before you ask, it's Roma's Monchi and his manoeuvring behind the scenes. Is he football's Malcolm Tucker? After that we head over to eastern Europe and Russia, then it's St Pauli and the counter cultural touch points that come along with them, and finally a rapid fire Twitter round that includes Chris Willock, Jose Mourinho, and everyone's* favourite striker, Krzysztof Piatek. We'd love you to get in touch with any burning questions you may have about European football, so don't hide your light under a bushel: show@otcpod.com  *James Horncastle's.

Well we could hardly ignore the big stories this week, could we? Here, on your all-new On The Continent, we run the rule across why two of Europe's big beasts continue to struggle for form, and pontificate on which manager is likely to go first (clue: he's Spanish). Later, James provides us with an update on the Cristiano Ronaldo allegations and how they're being reported in Italy, and there's a word for Milan who, unlike Juventus, appear to be quietly going about their business.  There's loads more besides, including two managerial sackings in Italy, the latest on the Ballon d'Or runners and riders, and events at the top and bottom of Ligue Un.
