In this weeks Expert Europe Special episode, the football world was in shock as Todd Boely lays down the law and sacks Thomas Tuchel after their 1-0 loss to Zagreb. Graham Potter leaves Brighton to take up, what he thinks, is a long-term project at Chelsea. We go over the opening week's Champions League fixtures, as Liverpool get battered in Naples, Haaland scores again and again. A quick view on the Europa League games as Man United lose to Real Sociedad, and Arsenal beat Zurich. We then take a look at La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga.

Fundraiser: Beardy's little sister Sophia, 8, has been diagnosed with a rare brain disease known as moyamoya. This disease affects only one person in every million in which it causes strokes, seizures, brain damage and paralysis. Late last year Sophia was taken to the doctors after suddenly feeling ill. We thought it would be nothing more than a mild illness that would go within a matter of days. Sophia was then omitted to Gloucestershire Hospital where she had various tests where it was discovered she’d been having multiple strokes over the last 6 months. She was then sent to Bristol Childrens Hospital where doctors gave us the sad news that she is suffering from this disease.

Beardy will be running the Chester Marathon later this year on the 2nd of October, and it will be his first ever participation in a marathon. And whilst he's excited to compete in it, he's at same time dreading it, especially the training (which is well under way as you can tell from the pod)! We wish you the best of luck Beardy for such a great cause. If you would like to give, any amount of donation would make a huge difference.

Beer Review: Schofferhoffer

A wheat beer, but combined with pure grapefruit juice. This combination actually makes it a radler, and for those who don’t know what a radler is – its essentially 2 parts beer, and 1 part juice or soda. And this combination specifically gives a zesty taste, but also very vibrant and refreshing.

This is available on draught in numerous pubs throughout Manchester, one to mention is the Sadler’s Cat Pub in the City Centre. But you can also get it online on website’s such as the Whiskey Exchange: The Whisky Exchange : Buy Whisky and Fine Spirits Online
