  2. The creation of Kylian Mbappé, with author Philippe Auclair

    8 DE ABR.

    The creation of Kylian Mbappé, with author Philippe Auclair

    We've all heard the term ‘Project Mbappé’. It's used to describe parents pushing their children into football from a young age, inspired by Kylian Mbappé’s father, Wilfrid. But beneath it lies a far more deliberate story - one of meticulous planning, hyper-analysis, and a career mapped out long before Mbappé had even played professional football. Andy is joined by Philippe Auclair, author of The Mbappé Project: Making a Superstar, to explore how one of the sport's biggest players was shaped from the age of six. Every decision. Every interview. Every sponsorship. All of it, carefully calculated from the very beginning. Ask us a question on X, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: otc@footballramble.com.

    Abolish VAR: Bringing Happiness Back to Football

    Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are back with another afternoon of sporting stories and nonsense. Former pro Gregor Robertson joins the show to explain why he thinks the only way to bring happiness back to football is to abolish VAR once and for all.    Fresh off a massive upset win in Manchester, middleweight star Brad Pauls drops in to discuss his incredible comeback victory over Shakiel Thompson and what’s next for the "Newquay Bomb." Plus, the brilliant Philippe Auclair is in the studio to give us the lowdown on his new book, The Mbappé Project, and why the Real Madrid star's career was mapped out before he could even speak Spanish. And Andy Jacobs takes us on a journey through the day’s most bizarre headlines, including a very deep dive into all things Brad Pitt.

    Episode 621 - A perilous moment

    In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Europa League. We discuss a disappointing result, the way game was managed, substitutions, the overall performance, the reaction to going ahead, the late equaliser we conceded, and what it says about these players. We also discuss Mikel Arteta in the context of this game, and broaden the discussion out into where we're going, compromised principles, the need for a plan and identity, how the club have committed to the Arteta/Edu project, and why, if the owners don't get more hands on, the future could be a bleak one for Arsenal.

    Episode 641 - Odegaard back, Arteta backed

    On this week's show I'm joined by Simon Collings of the Evening Standard to talk about the impending signings of Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale; how the former will provide creative, attacking threat that we need, and what the implications of signing a £24m 'back-up' might be for current number 1 Bernd Leno. We also chat about the need to sell players, how much compromise will be required in the final weeks of the transfer window, and about how the backing Mikel Arteta has been given this season has to start producing results – even if the month of August looks pretty difficult. Then I talk to Philippe Auclair about an article he spent 18 months investigating about the links between the Premier League and potential money laundering via the less than transparent world of online gambling.
