    HAMBURG IST BRAUN-WEIß

    Alex goes through the weekend football as St. Pauli paint Hamburg brown and white, Gladbach are unfortunate to only draw with Bayern and Atletico get through a feisty game with Celta Vigo in a feisty opening weekend of La Liga. Plus, Brentford are the most entertaining package in the opening weekend of the Premier League, Val-ball takes West Brom to top of the Championship, and Peterborough make the most of 12 minutes of added time in victory against Derby. The thoughts of the A Beautiful Game Podcast are with the family and friends of Gerd Müller after the former Bayern striker passed away at age 75. Rest in Peace.

    Signed Bumbag Pictures

    Alex looks through the first weekend of the 2. Bundesliga as St. Pauli get off to a great start, thanks to a wonder hit from Leart Paqarada, and without the need of the best ever disallowed goal from Daniel-Kofi Kyereh. Hamburg bring Schalke down to Earth with a 3-1 win whilst Werder struggle to get their new system going in a 1-1 draw against Hanover, the most depressed club in the world. Meanwhile, Alex is joined by Josh to go over some transfers, frustrations about the Bundesliga in the UK and Neil Warnock being Neil Warnock in pre-season, featuring his bum bag.  The DW article mentioned can be found using the following link: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-floods-football-ultras-support-aid-efforts/a-58573841

    Oh Fiddlesticks

    Alex talks about Euro 2020 as Italy beat England in a final marred by what happened before and after the final whistle and Argentina beating Brazil in the Copa America final as Messi finally gets his hand on an international trophy. Meanwhile, away from international football, Florentino Perez is recorded saying stupid things and responds by saying something stupid, Messi looks like he's getting a new contract at Barcelona, and the least qualified man is appointed to the EFL board.

    Interesting Crystal Palace?

    That Monday

Meanwhile, Rafa is back in Liverpool, but at the other side of Stanley Park, Scott Parker leaves Fulham for Bournemouth and Alex Woodward shoehorns Tour de France conversation into the show wherever possible.
