David Moyes: 'I thought it was my last chance - it was time to gamble'
Here we go friends – a new season of The Big Interview, and we open with David Moyes, a guest so enthralling the first-time round that we invited him back.In part one we chat about how the phenomenon of pre-season has evolved from afternoon bevvying to the era of the perma-fit player.Returning to West Ham as manager felt like a big gamble for David, but he was courageous enough to graft style onto his core values – and for that, he deserves all the success he is currently enjoying.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.

Is Kounde Barca's new Dani Alves? #ESPNweekly
Jules Kounde once kicked his mum as a furious kid but Barcelona's new signing now has an even temperament to match his talent. In my latest column for EPSN FC, I reflect on Kounde's musical passion, the influence of Gus Poyet on his career and how patience proved to be his biggest virtue in snubbing Chelsea for a move to the Camp Nou.

Is FC Barcelona ready for Lewandowski? #ESPNweekly
There's been a great deal written and said about Barcelona's financial operation during the close season. They have mortgaged many of their tomorrows in an attempt to find their way out of a financial crisis. The Polish striker is the biggest bet of all.Why? Because, as I argue here in a piece I wrote for ESPNFC, he is the one piece they hope will make a difference in a competition whose riches can begin to pay off their suffocating debt: the Champions League.It could be a happy marriage - but Lewandowski has high standards and his new employer and his new teammates must match them.

The Clásico report: Vegas, baby. Vegas.
I wasn't in Las Vegas for this one, but I was as transfixed by the latest chapter of the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid as usual.So many storylines - and I hope most of them are in here. Hazard fails as false 9. Piqué the bad guy. Araújo versus Vinicius forever. Enter Lewandowski.And in all of that, Raphina emerges as the hero.You might have missed it. Here's my take.

The Kid and the Contract: How Gavi is Running up the bill for Barca
Money is always in the mix when it comes to working out where FC Barcelona might be next season. On one hand, they have a core of exciting young talent including Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi. But, as I write this week for ESPNFC and read here for you, the trick may be keeping them together.Enjoy G Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T (find out what it means to Thibaut Courtois)
The recipe for Thibaut Courtois’ titanic performance in the Champions League final included a generous helping of Sergio Ramos and a sprinkling of resentment wrapped in an old issue of 4-4-2 magazine. From my writing for ESPNFC, here’s what I thought about after sampling the big Belgian’s showstopper. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.

Nedum Onuoha is one of the canniest and best-informed observers of the beautiful game in broadcasting. The likeable Mancunian doesn’t hold back when criticising some of his fellow pundits, who can be biased and have forgotten what it’s like to be a player.
