Over the coming weeks, we will be transitioning to the Thinking Fan Football Club podcast platform and YouTube.
We will be doing a unique show this week. Amazing that we have parity in the Premier League. Only seven points separate 1st and 10th place with games-in-hand everywhere. We walk through the contenders and pretenders along with the surprises and disappointments. We talk through weekend previews including Leicester-Southampton and Liverpool-Man United.
We are sponsored by the Premier League Guide. Moneyball for football. Opposition Analysis + Eye Candy. The current update available at www.thinkingfanmedia.com and on Amazon. Please subscribe to Thinking Fan Football Club on Youtube and your favourite podcast platform.

Serie A fans, Buon Anno! In the ninth episode of the 2020/21 Serie A podcast, we have the pleasure to be joined by Giacomo Galardini (1:15), a true Serie A connoisseur that hails from the beautiful town of Livorno in Tuscany, Italy. With Giacomo’s help, we chat Milan vs. Juventus (6:45), as well as the other Serie A matches from Round 16. We look at the league’s surprises, overachievers, and underachievers (24:40) before getting into the hot topic of Serie A’s winter transfer window (40:20). What makes sense in this Calciomercato session? Who can afford whom in these times of financial hardships? Should Eriksen and Papu Gomez stay in Italy?

During Matchday 12-3, the games felt a little stale as we had 8 draws. For those matches which had a winner, 5 out of 12 were won by the Underdogs. Curious. Today, we will chat about the emerging trends as games are coming thick and fast. We start at the top of the table and work our way down. Grab a cup of coffee, glass a wine or mug of beer and enjoy our distinctive takes on the season that keeps giving.

We recap Man U-West Ham, Chelsea-Leeds, Tottenham-Arsenal, Liverpool-Wolves, Leicester-Sheffield United amongst others.(~2:00) We preview Week 12 matches including the Manchester derby, Everton-Chelsea, Leeds-West Ham, Crystal Palace-Tottenham and Leicester-Brighton.(~36:30).
