I'd imagine Michael and Alan just weren't available for some reason (but Gary just didn't want to say that) and Sid couldn't do any other time either (& they want to keep the output up) - they've been swearing all through this, and the last one didn't seem any more expletive-ridden than any of the others.

I saw Jude Bellingham, make his debut for my club, Birmingham City against Portsmouth in 2019 as a 16 year old, and hand on my heart i knew right then, that he was the greatest player I will and ever will see play for my club, I knew he was going to the very top and I’m so pleased that he’s doing as I expected. What a player he is and I feel like a proud big brother every time I see him play!

In some parts of times that gets through his skin as we all know he quits and it’s normal to a player get pressured but even he quit or resign whatever you called it he still get back and find himself to fight for his dreams to achieved it and he does!

The tackling remarks remind me of Maldini's quote "If I have to make a tackle then I've already made a mistake"

Keep the swearing, we are seeing the real comfortable side of you all. It’s genuinely enjoyable to watch and listen to!

I want more of this. I think there is an opportunity here to really widen the horizons of premier league centric fans. Love this.

Sid Lowe has been covering Spanish Football for more than 15 years now. Massive respect

A few weeks ago I was thinking that in terms of guests to talk about other leagues, Sid Lowe for Spain and James Horncastle for Italy would be exactly who I thought would mesh well with the energy and vibe of the Pod. This appearwnce does not surprise me in the least. Love it.

Great call to put it in Sid Lowe. He's of the more sensible football journalists out there.

Great podcast, fascinating show, learnt a lot about Spanish football and mentality

I really like both of them. And I truly understand Eurocentrism from both truly traditional and historical countries. Yet none of them even slightly guess that is precisely the exposure to Brazilian and Argentinian footballers and coaches from a very early period what shifted and transformed the style of play both in Italy and Spain and later both introduced their own more physical oriented version of those attacking and possession football brands with also the very pragmatic even cynical approaches of fellas like Helenio Herrera. Also truly major geniuses and phenomenal players transform even the prototype of what a top footballer can be. Look at how France has shifted due to the introduction of phenomenal African origin players in their League and later NT. But I guess once an Empire even the finest if lads like these two very likeable dudes cannot even phantom the idea of such a huge influence in primarily the Italian and Spanish league.

Italian catenaccio was influenced by the verrou (also doorbolt or chain in French) system invented by Austrian coach Karl Rappan (while he was coaching Switzerland in the 1930s). He was the first to use a sweeper (libero) behind a back 3.

Love the podcast even more

you are right, it is fascinating to watch and listen

It feels like I could hear Sid Low podcast everyday. He seems genuine and describe from an objective perspective unlike most English pundits(Gary Linekar is exception) whose mostly are biased when giving their opinion.

Every time I feel old, Lineker discusses his time in Barca, and then I feel young again.

As soon as I see anyone say that this player is "the next I know that the player will never reach anywhere near those heights. Its become a title of career stagnation.

The swearing is not even bad it's authentic

different but superb Gary, Sid knows his stuff and this without the banter with Alan and Big lad, still interesting, Love it.

The bigger question the English press should be asking - Are such successes due to the fact that English players go abroad early, and play first team gamea? Many non-english players are already top players by 21-23 yrs old, when they get into EPL, and many of them are players who left their country early.

Great guest.

Sid's great!

Sid is a great journalist. Always great when he appears on the Guardian Gootball Podcast. I didn't realise he had his own though so I'll be checking that out

🎉🎉 TSFP getting some love

I love Sid. That is all

JB reminds me of a Ruud Gullit in a way going forward. Tall, elegant, Well rounded physically and technically who can be played deeper but really clean up in the box.

Tackling will always be a part of football, I don't know if Alonso was referring to the tackling being more of a last resort rather than a focus of a player with intelligent positional play and tactical nous reducing the need to tackle. Like a lot of aspects of life, some elements work in cycles. I wonder if the tough tackling midfielder will ever return or whether the modern methods of officiating and tactical setup has well and truly consigned them to the history books. Admittedly the frequency, intensity and even technique of tackling has changed in recent years. Like Gary suggested tactical fouling is more prevalent in our game now which has filtered through from the Continent.

This Spanish journalist shows you the difference between Spanish and English journalism. Even with the rise of Jude he says he is a bit skeptical about the next year's he might not be there but now he is. Spanish journalist helps footballers grow and develop more. But the English media over hype the players making it sink in their heads and sometimes they never develop more.

Sid is the best pundit. Easily.

I'm not sure why anyone in Madrid should be surprised by Bellingham's maturity and leadership. He did the same in his first game at Dortmund and he was SEVENTEEN then.

There have been 5000 ,,next Messi" in the last 20 years. There is a reason there is only 1 Messi and everyone else fades away.

Spanish football, especially the deologies of cruyff have had such an incredible influence on the football nowadays. Even the prem you can compare it to the prime days of La liga, where the majority of teams in the league play a technical, possession based game with a lot of technically gifted players. In Spain that happens all the time. The “English” way of playing football is just dated.

Jude Bellingham is a superstar and will win everything in football and really could win trophies with England if England get the next manager right,,I just feel Southgate plays a bit too negative

Messi's son is the who is going to come from lamasia and he will be magician

I really don’t get how La Liga could be considered a farmers league? lol. Ligue 1 fair enough. But it clearly still has arguably the biggest pull with Bellingham choosing Madrid over the PL?

This same level of pressure was put onto Ansu Fati, and that type of pressure of being the next Messi led him to stall out and go on loan to Brighton
