Description
The Playmaker Pod rambles across the varied terrain of 'The 92' (and beyond) spraying stats around with abandon. Regularly rotating its line-up, Steve, Rick, Dan and Alex chew the cud over whatever's on their mind - which in the latter duo's case could be anything from Jupiler Pro wonderkids to the state of the Kosovan national team.

In its first incarnation as The Playmaker Pod, Alex, Dan and Steve discuss all things Euro 2024: delving into England and Scotland's prospects whilst scanning all six groups at the tournament. Favourites, dark horses, surprise packages, cannon fodder - we call it as we see it. Why does a bet feel so different if your house is on the line?!
Alex, Steve and Dan chew the cud after England's tepid 1-1 draw v Ukraine: should Henderson have started, do all of Southgate's recent decisions ring true? There's still time for Premier League chat regarding further turmoil at Old Trafford and the top flight's current xG champs.
Steve resumes hosting duties after a summer of beach football and beer, and he is joined by Rick and Dan to set the scene as the transfer window prepares to slam shut. Our intrepid trio also mull over the recent Champions League draw and Gareth Southgate's latest England squad
Rick and Alex discuss the weekend's fixtures, the ongoing bizarre transfer business across the league and delve briefly into the EFL, too.

Rick, Alex and Steve digest the breaking news of Lampard's return to Stamford Bridge, and discuss a trio of Prem players we're not sure what to make of this season.
