Stadio: A Football Podcast

Musa and Ryan begin with Union Berlin appointing Marie-Louise Eta as interim head coach of their men’s team until the end of the season (02:46).
Eta becomes the first woman to take charge of a men’s team in Europe’s top five leagues, but is no stranger to the Union dugout, having already been a trailblazer for many years already. So, they chat about why the appointment makes so much sense and how it could pave the way for other clubs to do the same in the future.
They then move onto the Premier League title race (15:05), after a weekend where Manchester City closed the gap on Arsenal, following the Gunners’ home defeat to Bournemouth and City’s win away at Chelsea. And not to say Ryan’s taking it badly, but he did volunteer to go to the moon and has talked about starting a golf podcast.
Down the other end of the table, it got worse for Spurs, as they slipped into the relegation zone on Friday night, thanks to West Ham’s impressive win over Wolves, and stayed their following their own defeat to Sunderland.

This weekend’s FA Cup featured some very special moments and Musa and Ryan are joined by Aniefiok Ekpoudom to focus on Southampton reaching Wembley for the semifinal (02:29), following their win over Arsenal at St. Mary’s.
Aniefiok is a Southampton fan and was there on Saturday to witness one of the highlights of an interesting season for Saints, in which they are also celebrating 50 years since they won the FA Cup.
They then shoutout Leeds’ penalty shootout win over West Ham (34:29), which saw them into the semifinals for the first time in 39 years, plus big wins for Chelsea and Manchester City (45:44). There’s also chat about Liverpool, plus a quick round-up of some other results from the weekend!

Spurs and Igor Tudor parted ways this weekend, by mutual consent, so Musa and Ryan discuss the position the club now finds itself in. With the threat of relegation now very real for Spurs, while also being set to hire their third manager of the season, they chat about what they do next and whether this is fixable in the short term.
There’s also a quick round-up of some weekend results, where Union Berlin secured a place in next season’s Frauen Bundesliga, while Manchester City and Arsenal won their derbies in the WSL, the NWSL attendance record was broken on the first time of asking in Denver and more.

It feels like we say this almost every week, but it was another big weekend, so Musa and Ryan begin by shouting out Japan’s win in the Women’s Asian Cup final, before heading to Wembley.
Pep Guardiola became the most successful manager in League Cup history, thanks to Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday (04:57). There’s chat about Guardiola getting it right and what impact it will have on the rest of the season.
Elsewhere in England, there was a huge Tyne-Wear derby (30:32), as well as Nottingham Forest winning the six-pointer at Spurs and great wins for Everton and Brighton.
There’s a shout out for the Bundesliga (46:02), then chat about a wild Madrid derby (49:31) and much, much more!

With huge results up and down the table, as well as a record broken in dramatic fashion, it felt like the biggest weekend in the Premier League season so far.
Musa and Ryan chat about Arsenal’s win over Everton, where Max Dowman came on, changed the game and became the Premier League’s youngest ever goalscorer, in a late 2-0 win.
It was made even more important due to West Ham and Manchester City’s 1-1 draw, which was a huge result for Nuno Espírito Santo, but a costly one for Pep Guardiola. The same scoreline happened at Anfield, where Spurs equalised late against Liverpool, to stop their losing streak.
There's chat about Michael Carrick’s Manchester United, who bounced back with an impressive win over Aston Villa, before a quick bit on the week coming up for Arsenal and Manchester City. They then quickly head to Europe, for an Arda Güler wonder goal, a Barcelona win, some Serie A and a few more shoutouts.
