Ciao! We're back in the saddle for the second OTC of the season and first up we're running the rule over Juventus' first outing of the year, a game in which the great Ronaldo was inevitably able to make his mark on. We also take the time to assess Bayern Munich's ritual destruction of Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Super Cup, marvel at PSG's walkover against Caen, and wonder if Zinedine Zidane could really be off to Manchester United? All that and more (including a rare mention for Lee Cattermole) on your all-new On The Continent. Don't miss it!

It's the first Mailbag of a new season, and we start with Andy and James giving their thoughts on Chelsea's new goalkeeper Kepa. Meanwhile, and on the subject of new signings, the boys also give their opinion on the players Arsenal have picked up this summer. Elsewhere, there's time for James to recommend an Italian team for a Leeds fan to support, before Andy puts all our minds at rest by confirming that the Portuguese title race this season will probably be won by one of the two usual suspects. And don't worry, we also solve the conundrum of where European football can actually be watched on TV this season!

In the first On The Continent of the new season, Marcus, Luke, James and Andy embark upon a whistle-stop tour of Europe, taking in PSG's win in the Trophée des Champions and the prospect of any team challenging them in Ligue Un this season, Atletico's chances of lifting the La Liga title, and the job Julen Lopetegui has on his hands at Real Madrid. Elsewhere there's a good summary of the latest developments at Milan, Carlo Ancelotti's chances of success at Napoli and whether Juventus can be toppled in Serie A. We wrap up with some chat on the Bundesliga as the Niko Kovac era starts in earnest at Bayern Munich.

Marcus, Andy and Luke take 40 minutes to go through as many confirmed transfers as possible, starting in the first half with players moving to the Premier League from Europe - including Jorginho to Chelsea, Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson to West Ham, Fabinho to Liverpool, and Sokratis and Lucas Torreira to Arsenal. In the second half we concentrate on players that have moved between European clubs, including Clement Lenglet's move to Barcelona from Sevilla, Thomas Lemar's transfer from Monaco to Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid's Alvaro Odriozola signing. Don't forget, we're back for the new season on Wednesday 8th August! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

In our final On The Steppe of the summer, Andy joins Luke and Marcus to talk about France's achievements, including how they won the World Cup and if we are to expect them to dominate international football for years to come. In the second half, we chat to James in Turin for the unveiling of Cristiano Ronaldo, and cover how it's been received in Italy, what it means for Italian football next season, as well as how the impact is likely to be felt in the Champions League. We'll be back later in the week with a Transfer Special, and for the new season from Wednesday 8th August.

The full complement of OTCers are back in the studio and looking ahead to the World Cup Final! We assess how Croatia have made it all the way to Moscow for the showpiece and what it would mean if Luka Modric were to lift the trophy given his issues back home, as well as run the rule over France and how Didier Deschamps has got Les Bleus purring ahead of The Big One. Elsewhere there's Belgium and Roberto Martinez's future, James and Andy's thoughts on England, and how the Three Lions' run to the semi-final has been greeted in Europe. Before we go, we turn our attention to Cristiano Ronaldo's big move to Juventus. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Rejoice! The full complement of OTCers are back! Andy is once again welcomed into the fold having returned from Russia following Portugal's exit at the hands of Uruguay. On this week's show, we discuss what's next for the big teams that have gone home early - Spain, Germany, Argentina and Portugal, before turning our attention to the quarter finals, including a chat with writer and broadcaster Kieran Pender in Moscow about Russia v Croatia and why Krasnodar weren't chosen as a host city for this year's tournament. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.
