  • The day has finally arrived as Euro 2024 kicks off with a bang!
    With Ian reporting on the Germany v Scotland game, and Chris doing his best to hide from Chris at said game, Daily Mail writers Craig Hope and Dominic King step up.
    The lads kick us off by dissecting the tournament's curtain raiser at the Allianz arena as Germany blew away a Scotland side who never managed a shot on target.
    We then consider whether Trent Alexander-Arnold is better off playing in his usual right back position, or if a switch to midfield for England would work to his strengths.
    AND Dom and Craig give their predictions for the next three games...

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for our final episode of the domestic season.
    After another breathless campaign, Ian and Chris reflect on some of the biggest moments we've seen and analyse a weekend of cup final upsets and playoff drama.
    We begin by assessing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City legacy after the Daily Mail's Manchester City expert, Jack Gaughan, broke the news that the Spaniard will be leaving at the end of the upcoming season.
    From one departing Manchester manager to - possibly - another, as Ian breaks down the confrontation he had with Erik ten Hag during his press conference. What do you reckon, did our host go too harsh on the Dutchman?
    Also covered in today's episode: Jack Grealish's Euro 2024 chances, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth appointment, the Scottish Cup final and much, much more.
    From everyone at 'It's All Kicking Off!', thank you for listening to our podcast this season. We'll now take a couple of weeks off before we return for every single day of Euro 2024.

  • It's All Kicking Off returns for the final 'Weekend Preview' edition of the season.
    Don't be sad, though, as one thing's for sure... Ian and Chris are determined to go out with a bang.
    We begin by questioning whether Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea exit will open the door for a stint at Old Trafford, 2 years after Manchester United opted for Erik ten Hag instead.
    The lads discuss the FA Cup Final and debate how Manchester United can come out on top, despite their significant underdog status.
    Ian questions whether there are enough goal-scorers in the provisional England squad (you'll never guess who the third top scorer is)
    AND we look ahead to the mammoth Championship Playoff Final.

  • Welcome back to 'It's All Kicking Off!' - for the penultimate Monday pod of the season.
    In this episode, Ian and Chris reflect on the Premier League finale, which saw Manchester City claim their fourth successive title. We question whether it really is a boring league now, and if so, whether that's City's fault or if the blame lies elsewhere...
    The lads discuss the future of Liverpool's key players after Jurgen Klopp parted ways with the Anfield faithful. After a teary solo lap of honour, could Trent Alexander-Arnold prove to be the next legend to leave this summer?
    Also on the agenda: if Roberto De Zerbi truly be missed at Brighton, why PL teams shouldn't play post-season friendlies down under, and whether the next cohort of promoted sides will fare better than those this season.

  • To VAR or not to VAR? That is the question.
    'It's All Kicking Off' returns for its Weekend Preview edition.
    Ian and Chris cover all bases in this episode, including: Ange Postecoglou's rant, whether VAR should be scrapped after Wolves tabled a vote on its Premier League abolition, where the future lies for Marcus Rashford, the title-race as it reaches its conclusion, and whether football teams care enough about player welfare.

  • There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and a Monday edition of 'It's All Kicking Off!'
    In this episode, Chris fights a raging hangover to respond to Brendan Rodgers' post-Old Firm remarks, where the Celtic manager bit back at those who suggested his side had been going through the motions earlier this season.
    Ian suggests that Manchester United should move all the way down to Wembley for a couple of seasons, while they tear down Old Trafford and build a brand new stadium on the same plot of land.
    We question whether Tottenham fans would REALLY want to see their team lose against Manchester City if it meant Arsenal couldn't win the league.
    AND Ian challenges Crystal Palace to turn it up a gear next year, and break free from their 12th place shackles.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for another Weekend Preview!
    In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by reflecting on Real Madrid's dramatic Champions League semi-final win over Bayern Munich. No trophy for Harry Kane this season - is he cursed?
    The lads also look ahead to a huge game in the Premier League between Manchester United and Arsenal. The gunners need to win to maintain the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table. It feels like this could be the final hurdle of their title ambitions, but is it even a hurdle? 
    David Moyes is leaving West Ham at the end of the season. Chris asks whether he has been disrespected by the Hammers. 
    And in the Scottish Premiership, it's set up for one of the biggest Old Firm derbies in years. If Celtic win they'll be having a celebratory Player of the Season award ceremony later on that evening; if they lose, it'll be a much more gloomy affair. Either way, Chris is going!

    For this edition, Daily Mail's Sports News Correspondent, Mike Keegan, is joined by Manchester United Reporter, Nathan Salt, and Sports Editor, Anthony Hay, as the trio break down exactly what's going on at United, with the side slipping to a mortifying 4-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.

  • Welcome to another instalment of 'It's All Kicking Off!' beaming to you this Bank Holiday Monday.
    In this episode, we start by questioning whether the jury is out on Ange Postecoglou - whose Tottenham side have now lost four consecutive games. Chris defends the former Celtic manager, though, suggesting that Spurs have been a victim of their huge overachievement at the beginning of the season. Plus, we question whether James Maddison will board the plane to Germany having struggled to emulate his form before picking up an injury.
    The lads analyse Darwin Nunez's cryptic social media behaviour after the Uruguayan deleted a series of Liverpool photos after he came off the bench to little affect in the win over Spurs. What do you reckon, does this spell the end for 'Darling' Darwin?
    Next up, a feisty debate between the pair who question whether Kai Havertz should have been awarded a penalty after tumbling in the box v Bournemouth.
    AND we respond to Emma Hayes' bash of the media after Chelsea's 8-0 win over Bristol City.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview edition!
    In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by dissecting Jude Bellingham's Allianz antics, where he seemingly attempted to put off his England captain, Harry Kane, before the Bayern man took a vital Champions League penalty. What do you reckon? Do you admire this attempt to distract someone to gain advantage for their team... or do you prefer sportsmanship in the biggest moments?
    Ian questions whether Nottingham Forest will relish the opportunity to play already-relegated Sheffield United, with Forest's top-flight status hanging in the balance, as Chris says he sees this as the perfect game for the side.
    The lads give their top 5 Premier League players of the season so far... with some interesting calls offered up by them both.
    AND we offer praise for Kai Havertz - the Arsenal man was doubted by many but has emphatically turned at a corner at the Emirates, proving his worth time after time in the second half of the season.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' (aka your favourite football podcast) returns for its Monday edition.
    First up, Ian and Chris question whether Pep Guardiola was talking nonsense when claiming that the dryness of the pitch at the City Ground impacted Chris Wood's ability to put the ball in the back of the net, as his Manchester City side survived a few scares vs Nottingham Forest.
    We then talk all things North London Derby: how Arsenal have learnt from their errors last season, whether Spurs are up for the fight and why Ben White played with Guglielmo Vicario's gloves right before the Gunners took a decisive corner.
    The lads question whether Mo Salah risks tarnishing his Liverpool legacy after having a touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp, and ask themselves whether the Egyptian is frustrated after another nearly season on Merseyside.
    AND we question whether Newcastle should embrace the chance to sell their stars and follow the lead set by Aston Villa, a side regenerated by the cash raised by Jack Grealish's exit.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview show.
     
    First on the agenda is Liverpool's trip to West Ham. The Reds have seen their title hopes shatter in recent weeks, losing to both Crystal Palace and - most recently - neighbours, Everton. Chris and Ian reckon Darwin Nunez' performance at Goodison Park summed up his season, letting favourable opportunities pass him by once more. Will Jurgen Klopp's side finish with on a high, with only 4 games left of his iconic tenure.
     
    The North London Derby is next up, with both Arsenal and Tottenham still fighting until the death to secure both the title and a top four place, respectively. While Liverpool have struggled to pick themselves up after slipping in the race, Arsenal have powered on and catapulted themselves back into contention. Can Spurs torpedo the Gunners' title charge once and for all?
     
    Finally, we turn our attention to Nottingham Forest v Manchester City. The noisy social media club versus the noisy neighbours… as we wait to see if Forest will be galvanised by the decisions, they feel harshly went against them.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for the Monday instalment of your favourite podcast.
    This week we start things off by discussing the fairytale that never was, as Manchester United avoided humiliation at the hands of Coventry by the narrowest of margins. The chaps argue that VAR was not to blame for the Sky Blues' 'winner' being ruled out, and condemn Antony for his post-penalty shootout celebrations.
    Ian and Chris slam Nottingham Forest for the Tweet which (now viewed over 40 million times) has caused uproar has sent shockwaves through the footballing world.
    We question whether managers really care about player welfare, or if they just want to avoid certain games.

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview edition.
    This week, we start off by reflecting on the key talking points surrounding Manchester City and Chelsea, in the context of their FA Cup showdown at Wembley. Ian questions why it seems to be okay for managers to complain about fatigue, but players can’t, after City crashed out of the Champions League, while Chris voices his outrage at Chelsea's youngsters for squabbling over a somewhat meaningless penalty.
    The lads look ahead to Manchester United's clash with Coventry City, where Ian reckons a goal from The Sky Blues would cause 'panic' amongst United's players. Would a win for Eric ten Hag's side be enough for the manager to keep his job? Let us know in the poll on Spotify.
    Another team whose European dream came to an end this week is Arsenal, who face a couple of key games before City next feature. Wolves away is up next, but some of the Gunners faithful are starting to lose patience with one or two of their stars. Does Oleksandr Zinchenko deserve to be scapegoated, or should fans place more faith in those that have helped them get to where they are?

  • 'It's All Kicking Off!' is back once again for its Monday instalment.
    In this episode, we reflect on defeats for both Arsenal and Liverpool, which have put Manchester City firmly in the driving seat for yet another Premier League title. Is there any way back for the - now - chasing pack, or will Pep Guardiola's side create history by winning four successive titles?
    The lads discuss a truly mad Championship season where the title-hopefuls continue to trip themselves up with the finish line in sight.
    We praise Bayer Leverkusen for claiming their first ever German title, with Xabi Alonso's side inflicting yet more trophy pain on Bayern Munich's Harry Kane. Will the England skipper actually regret the move as our hosts jokingly suggested he might at the beginning of the season.
    Chris and Ian bicker over whether Ross County's victory over Rangers in the SPFL is akin to Manchester City losing to Nottingham Forest or Coventry.
    AND Chris reveals, once and for all, just how many cathedrals there are in Norwich.
