Elsewhere, Sid Lowe updates us on the big stories in Spain, including Mason Greenwood’s move to Getafe, the latest on Luis Rubiales and Jude Bellingham’s incredible start to life at Real Madrid. The 2023 tour is already set to be a sell out. This comes as no surprise as almost six thousand people came to the first Football Weekly live tour in 2022, which featured Mark Langdon’s Meat Raffle, Barry’s rendition of Call Me Maybe and Steve Claridge eating industrial quantities of fruit.

Plus they’re joined by Wales' premier football fan Elis James in this pre-tournament extravaganza. Unfortunately for Lars Sivertsen Norway failed to qualify but it's always nice to have him around anyway. Max: Producer Joel and I spend about three minutes after the odd pod: we say the same names to each other and then try to remember people we haven’t asked for ages. The only thing we’ve consciously done in the last five years is get more women and greater diversity on the pod. We can always do better but I think we do a pretty good job of that. I don’t think there’s a better variety and quality of panelists anywhere else across football broadcasting and it makes my life very easy. These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community. Each show will feature the podcast’s unique take on the world of football, in addition to opportunities for the audience to get involved in the antics, special guests and stories too risky for the podcast.Currently providing expert analysis on the 2023 Premier League, the podcast regularly features at the top of the football and sports podcast charts in the UK and has won a number of sports industry awards, most recently at the Football Supporters’ Association Awards where it was named podcast of the year. Football Weekly launched in 2006 and is one of the Guardian’s longest-running and most popular podcasts, gaining over six million listens during the World Cup in December 2022. Having shunned big money offers to move to Saudi Arabia, the Football Weekly live tour is remaining in the UK. This November, fans can find Max, Barry and a host of regular Football Weekly favourites in five cities across England and Ireland. Barry: Of course everyone has the right to support their team, regardless of who owns it because fans have little or no say in who gets to be the custodian of the club they are emotionally invested in. What I find a bit disturbing is the large number of fans who seem happy to excuse, or even condone the often barbaric behaviour of their authoritarian owners for no other reason than that those people have invested money in their football club and might pay for an expensive striker. It’s possible to love the club while holding the owners in contempt, as Manchester United fans, among others, regularly demonstrate. Max: We do. At least I hope we do. As far as I know the audience is 50% UK and 50% worldwide, so we would love to go to as many places as we can. We could do east coast, west coast and then pop to Sydney, finish in Melbourne and then all make our own way home.

How do you marry the recent anti-gambling rhetoric in the paper and podcast with the constant talk about cheeky bets from Barry? Don’t you feel you should have also held your hands up as part of the problem? John On the podcast today; Newcastle begin their first Champions League campaign in 20 years with a possibly fortuitous point in Milan. On the podcast today: Newcastle United thrash a poor PSG 4-1 and take control of the most difficult group in the Champions League. Max: I’m not sure it ever will. And I think a lot of people at the top of the game know that and take advantage of it. If we really care, we should all join the Football Supporters’ Association, and fight for things as a collective.Plus: Paul Watson talks about his footballing escapade to Mongolia, and there’s an overdue home game for Pakistan. In part three, Kieran Maguire and Kevin Day join us to talk about their new book, ‘Unfit and Improper Persons: An Idiot’s Guide to Owning a Football Club’. Max: In goal: funnel web spider. Two holders (possum and kangaroo), lazy but enigmatic koala in the No 10 role, with a great white up front. I’m not sure Baz can provide anything against that.
