And It's Live! A Retro Football Podcast

The boys welcome newly loaded Manchester City to the Champions League stage as they find the going tough to start with. Not as tough as their neighbours however, as United drop out at the group stage, Real Madrid post a perfect score and chaotic Inter somehow top their group.

On the final day of 1993, Manchester United were 14 points clear at the top of the FA Carling Premiership. By the start of March, the lead was 4. Martyn, Adam and David get into how the wobbles started, some very entertaining draws, Shearer's 13 goals in 12 games that propelled Blackburn's challenge, Mike Walker's ill-fated but inevitable move to Everton, the end of Souness at Anfield, the start of Baddiel and Skinner and a closer look at Glenn Hoddle's Chelsea. 👉 CHECK OUT OTHER MAIN EVENT EPISODES HERE:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2i0b8WCEj4&list=PLTCa0zLoEuSi3zATqQ3lGumFydCyDzHIZ&index=2 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTS: LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/anditslivepod SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/527ZEHLZmDTT20Xd0oFYWT?si=vA4_ptp9T2-U68FXQDVAWg&nd=1&dlsi=db80294950bc4006 APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/and-its-live-a-retro-football-podcast/id1780385830?uo=4 👉 FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anditslivepodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anditslivepod Twitter: https://x.com/anditslivepod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/anditslivepod.bsky.social Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, it is the show that Adam has waited 62 episodes to record. 2011 saw the crowning of arguably the greatest club side in history at Wembley. The boys discuss the final stage of evolution, the weariness of the Classico, the change that Manuel Neuer represented and what kind of Manchester United reached the Final.

Schalke, Shakhtar and Spurs create some shocks as the 2010/11 knockout rounds begin. The boys pore over that as well as Real Madrid getting over their last 16 hoodoo, some forgettable Premier League fare and Barcelona moving through their gears.

Barcelona swap Zlatan for Villa and suddenly the pieces fit better.

An underrated Premier League - or should that be Premiership - season gets underway as Manchester United build a seemingly mountainous lead, Liverpool and Everton's good start is a mirage, some love for Andy Cole and the generation of English strikers starting to make their impact and two of the greatest EPL goals of all time, scored in the one match. 👉 CHECK OUT OTHER MAIN EVENT EPISODES HERE:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2i0b8WCEj4&list=PLTCa0zLoEuSi3zATqQ3lGumFydCyDzHIZ&index=2 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTS: LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/anditslivepod SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/527ZEHLZmDTT20Xd0oFYWT?si=vA4_ptp9T2-U68FXQDVAWg&nd=1&dlsi=db80294950bc4006 APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/and-its-live-a-retro-football-podcast/id1780385830?uo=4 👉 FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anditslivepodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anditslivepod Twitter: https://x.com/anditslivepod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/anditslivepod.bsky.social Learn more about your ad choices.

The show that Martyn and David have been waiting for. It was the semi-final that set up the next decade of European footballing narrative with volcanoes, play-acting, disallowed goals and sprinklers all playing their part in a contest for football's soul. Jose won a treble and was the undisputed king of the world. What could possibly go wrong?

The boys are back from their October break to pick up the history of the Premier League. We are in the summer of 1993 where Jurassic Park and Take That have dominated the cultural scene and the transfer of Roy Keane wasn't far behind. Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday seem to have done smart business, Liverpool less so and Arsenal very little at all. We run down the runners and riders, look at the Charity Shield and some interesting BBC punditry for the season ahead. 👉 CHECK OUT OTHER MAIN EVENT EPISODES HERE:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2i0b8WCEj4&list=PLTCa0zLoEuSi3zATqQ3lGumFydCyDzHIZ&index=2 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTS: LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/anditslivepod SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/527ZEHLZmDTT20Xd0oFYWT?si=vA4_ptp9T2-U68FXQDVAWg&nd=1&dlsi=db80294950bc4006 APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/and-its-live-a-retro-football-podcast/id1780385830?uo=4 👉 FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anditslivepodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anditslivepod Twitter: https://x.com/anditslivepod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/anditslivepod.bsky.social Learn more about your ad choices.

As part of a brief hiatus in the deep dive, David and Martyn will put out a few specials over the next few episodes starting with a look at how the coverage of football has changed since the introduction of the Champions League in 1992. From a special event available only a few times a season to live matches being pub wallpaper, it has been a truly transformative three decades in how we consume our sport.
