36 games games in the Europa and Conference Leagues have come and gone, and we have a LOT to talk about!

In the Europa, we had a thriller in Porto, smaller clubs getting huge upset results ( RFS (!), Elfsborg, Twente, Anderlecht), bigger clubs struggling (Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Roma, Sociedad), and Tottenham youngsters stormed the gates in Hungary.

Meanwhile in the Conference, Chelsea continued their scintillating form, Fiorentina did Fiorentina stuff, Betis fell in Poland, and Cercle Brugge ran riot on St. Gallen.

Plus, we discuss the proposed changes to the Welsh Cup.

All that and more on this week's show!

Cheers, Oscar Hiljemark (P.S. - Stop being so handsome)!

A busy and thrilling match-week 1 in the Europa League comes to a close!

Bodo and Twente offer the surprises of the week against Porto and Manchester United, a couple of high-profile fixtures end in 1-1 draws, starry Galatasaray and Fenerbahce motor through, and Frankfurt throws away a win.

All that and more as our League Phase kicks off! And if you'd like to see our beautiful faces while listening, we are now posting our episodes on Youtube - video and all. Check us out at at @AnyGivenThursday. Thanks!

And let's not forget - Cheers Joseph Oosting!

With the Europa and Conference League League Phases rapidly approaching, we thought we'd give you a quick special edition episode with all our predictions for Matchday 1!

First we cover the Europa, which kicks off Wednesday the 25th, then hit the Conference, which starts a week later on October 2.

Do you agree with our takes? Are we spot on? Or are we idiots? Only time will tell.

Cheers Mladen Žižović!

Our next League Phase preview is up and running, and this time we're all about the Conference League!

Here, we react to our first taste of the new League Phase (via the Champions League), then dive into all our predictions for the six Conference League matchdays to come.

We debate the teams who will qualify for the top 8, discuss the best fixtures, and highlight a couple of clubs to look out (I'm looking at you Lugano!).

We also muse at whether The New Saints can get a single point. We believe in you TNS!

Cheers Stephen Bradley!

To welcome the return of our arch nemesis, the Champions League, we're releasing a preview of the Europa (League) League Phase!

While still a week away from UEL football, we're stepping in to answer all your questions about the new format and the pros and cons of the switch from traditional group stages.

Then, we predict which clubs will qualify for the knockouts and which will receive a bye by finishing in the top 8, before finishing with some of our favorite fixtures throughout the 8 League Phase match-days.

And if you're a Conference League sicko, never fear - our UECL preview pod will be up this time next week!

Cheers Maarten Martens!

Our Club Spotlight series returns for the new season, and this time we turn our attention to the Basque Country and the pride of Donostia-San Sebastián, Real Sociedad.

The famous club is a founding member of La Liga, a proud owner of 2 top-flight league titles and 3 Copa del Reys, and of course, a proud part of Basque culture.

Maxwell takes David through the club's history, its past accomplishments, its recent success and tactics under coach Imanol Alguacil, and its intertwinement with the region.

(Apologies for any mispronunciations...)

Cheers Imanol Alguacil!

Qualifying is over! I repeat: qualifying is OVER.

That's right, we have our 36 League Phase teams decided in both the Europa and the Conference League, and we're walking you through how each club got there in the final matchday of the qualifying rounds.

Fiorentina and Chelsea eek through, Lens upset by Panathinaikos, and Larne and other small-nation clubs shine.

Cheers to Tiernan Lynch!

Welcome to Any Given Thursday's new Serie A spinoff podcast! David is going to take you through all the news and developments from the last week in Calcio, from Milan's disasterous start to Juventus's new look and all the Como and Lecce in between!
