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... Hosted by: Craig Hope and Dominic King Producer: Henry Williams Learn more about your ad choices.

'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. Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton Producer: Henry Williams Hosted on Acast.

'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!

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. Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton Producer: Henry Williams Hosted on Acast.

'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.
