Hola Big Interview listeners!

So, last week I received questions from our Socios about this season’s Champions League campaign. Today, I give my answers.

I will give my reasons why Real Madrid cannot be written off despite the loss of their talismanic forward. And what of Cristiano Ronaldo? Can he conquer Europe with Juventus this season? I give my verdict here.

I also take a closer look at some challenging groups – listen up Manchester United fans – and give my views on Atletico Madrid and whether they can reach the final at their home stadium.

And listen out for the question from Bet365 about who to back to lift the trophy this season.

Our Socios get to listen to this episode ad-free (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and this is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them. This month they got to listen to former United striker Brian McClair!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Welcome back for part two of my chat with Spurs legend Ledley King. You are about to hear all about his time at White Hart Lane – his team-mates, managers and, of course, those captivating London derbies under the lights.

We begin by being introduced to Edgar Davids, who proved to Ledley that he was a born winner. And Ledley also describes how Juande Ramos ordered his Spurs players to lose weight … well, almost all of them.

You will also hear about matches against Chelsea and Arsenal. Facing Spurs’ biggest rivals were huge moments in Ledley’s career and he describes those pulsating games brilliantly.

This is a truly fascinating, enjoyable interview. Our Socios got to listen to it first in full and ad-free (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them. This month they got to listen to former United striker Brian McClair!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

By now Ledley King must be sick of talking about the injuries that shortened his career. Instead this Big Interview is about where he came from: the neighbourhood, the people, the places he learned to play football.

You will hear about Ledley’s school team rivalry with Ashley Cole, his neighbour growing up, and how a small boy called John Terry used to boss his Sunday League youth team around – as a midfielder!

And, of course, Ledley discusses the type of defending which made him a Spurs legend and one of the greatest defenders the Premier League has ever seen.

This is a truly fascinating, enjoyable interview. It is available exclusively to our Socios (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them. Last month they got to listen to former United midfielder Quinton Fortune!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Boy, what a treat this Big Interview is! Let me introduce you to former Manchester United forward Brian McClair.

Brian is a wonderfully dry, witty storyteller, and he will take you behind-the-scenes at Old Trafford – his old stomping ground – and describe what it was like to train and play alongside Eric Cantona. Brian will also reveal the painful pranks Sir Alex Ferguson used to pull on his players.

And from past greats to United players of the present, Brian will explain why he was certain Jesse Lingard had the makings of a professional footballer at age eight.

You’ll also hear Brian’s stories about celebrated coaches of the past like Jock Stein and Bill Shankly.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

And I’m back with the second half of my La Liga Q&A special episode, featuring some fascinating questions from some of our Socios.

I talked a little about Lionel Messi in Part One and I return to the Barcelona star here to discuss how he will handle being captain at the Camp Nou. I also give my views on whether or not he will miss going mano-a-mano with Cristiano Ronaldo.

And I take a closer look at Real Madrid’s summer transfer business and discuss how Spanish football will be affected by the end of Sky Sports’ live coverage.

There’s also a special question about Thibaut Courtios’ chances of breaking into the first team at Madrid which comes from our sponsors Bet365.

This interview is available for free for our Socios, with this month’s Big Interview with Quinton Fortune also available exclusively to them (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them.
