Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on the latest happenings in Ligue 1, with topics ranging from team performances, player transfers, and emerging talents to in-depth analysis of individual matches.

Welcome to the definitive French football podcast. Host Matt Spiro and his guests attack the burning issues in the French game: will Kylian Mbappé finally get a Ballon d’Or, might Paul Pogba revive his career, can Lens push PSG all the way in the #Ligue1 title race, could Luis Enrique mastermind back-to-back Champions League triumphs, who are the players set to star at this summer’s World Cup; and, crucially, when will Roberto De Zerbi and Olympique de Marseille spontaneously combust? Expect insightful analysis, cultural chat, beaucoup d’humour britannique and… a certain je ne sais quoi.
This week’s episode is all about the famous ‘Entente Cordiale’! With more English footballers thriving in France than ever before, Matt and Tom take at look at the reasons why there has been a sudden influx and ask if it is a good thing both for the English and French games.
There’s an exclusive chat with Lyon’s midfield maestro Tyler Morton who has been exceptional since joining from Liverpool and – like Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell – is attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Matt then has a rant about the old heads returning to Ligue 1 dugouts, before we take a close look at the European battle. With Lille, Marseille, Lyon and Rennes all winning, it was a bad time for Monaco to lose. But there will surely be more twists, and all five clubs have a chance of joining PSG and Lens in next season’s Champions League.
Andy Scott was too cold to join the team this week, but the intrepid Scottish commentator did send us a report from the Groupama Stadium. The lads also discuss a relegation battle that Nantes look like losing – and look forward to the week’s big event: Liverpool vs PSG on Tuesday night.
