Extra Time – Details, episodes & analysis

A brand new episode of the Extra Time podcast? Go on then. On this week’s episode, Patrick van Straaten is joined by Zac Djellab and Henry Hill to cast their eye over the three big Brazilian attackers on the move this summer. Henry thinks Richarlison’s move to Spurs could turn into one of the best transfers they’ve made in recent years. Are Barcelona right to sign Raphinha? Zac kinda just sits on the fence, probably wishing the Leeds man was going to sign for his beloved Chelsea instead. Then of course, Patrick gets to talk Arsenal following their signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City - is he simply perfect for the Gunners, and does the number of goals he scores matter? Tune in for all that and more this week. Until next time - and hopefully we won’t keep you waiting as long for another episode.

The Extra Time Podcast is back! After a short hiatus, Patrick and Henry return to bring you all the biggest talking points in the world of football.. On this episode they discuss why Jake Daniels coming out could be a turning point for combating homophobia, then see what Wolves are doing to combat climate change. And we get Patrick's take on why Arsenal fell short this season.. 

After that, it is prediction time! Can Roma and Borussia Dortmund win their respective leagues next season? Will Aleksandar Mitrovic hit 15 for Fulham in the Premier League? And can Newcastle qualify for Europe? 

And finally, is Erling Haaland a nailed-on success at Manchester City? The Norwegian might be a goalscoring machine, but his body has a habit of letting him down.. We run through the potential dangers that await Haaland's arrival at The Etihad.. Enjoy!

Just the two on this week’s episode of the Extra Time podcast, as Patrick van Straaten and Dougie Critchley discuss what could be next for Liverpool - and more importantly, the future of Sadio Mane’s position. Not that Mane is close to being finished at Anfield by any means, but at some point Liverpool will have to look to the future and find a replacement. A lot of Bundesliga names are discussed, including Christopher Nkunku and Moussa Diary, as well Porto’s Luis Diaz. Premier League players Jarrod Bowen and Raphinha also come up in conversation, but with Harvey Elliot, does Jurgen Klopp already have the perfect person waiting in the wings? Enjoy!

On this episode of the Extra Time podcast, Patrick van Straaten is joined by Chris Hamill and Zac Djellab to draft competing teams made up of the best players to appear in the Premier League over the last decade. Zac and Chris didn't understand at first because they didn't read the script, but the idea got clearer after I drafted Luis Suarez. Head to Twitter to vote on which team turned out best (hint: it's not Chris').

On this week’s episode of Extra Time, Patrick and Dougie discuss some of the biggest transfer rumours to hit the headlines this week.
First, we turn our attention to Real Madrid, who are apparently keen to rebuild their frontline with moves totalling nearly half a billion euros for Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe. But are those the right moves? Is Pogba right for their midfield? Will they have to sell Asensio or Hazard to make it work? Then we look at how Dortmund might respond to Sancho leaving. Paper talk suggests they’re already targeting Valencia’s Ferran Torres as a replacement, but there are question marks over his experience.
Next up is Barcelona’s interest in Tanguy Ndombele, who could be on his way out of Tottenham after falling out with Jose Mourinho. Could he be the man to complement Frenkie de Jong in the middle of the park?
Finally, we do a quick yes/no round-up of the other major rumours including Kingsley Coman also to Barca, Luka Jovic to Arsenal, Jack Grealish to Everton, and what Atletico, Chelsea, and Man United might do in the market.

This week we bring you a special episode, taking you inside Joe Thomlinson's head (fresh from a haircut he gave himself with a beard trimmer). From his earliest memories of the game to the unexpected players he loves and hates, we talk about his ups and downs as a Man United fan, and I get in a lot of digs about how terrible United are now.

Let us know if you like the format, and who you'd like to see interviewed next.

Hey Extra Timers, it's Patrick van Straaten with an update on the podcast during coronavirus. We're going to try to find a way to get new episodes to you, but we're just working out how to do it and what you might want us to cover while there's no football happening. Hit me up on Twitter or Instagram @Patrickbvs, if you've got any suggestions, but mostly just stay safe and wash your hands.

Crack open an ice-cold bottle of Corona and enjoy this week's episode, in which Patrick van Straaten, Mike Atkins, and Zac Djellab discuss coronavirus and its impact on the end of the season, with the possible cancellation of various leagues and Euro 2020 looming.

Then we pretend the Champions League results matter and that there'll actually be a winner.

Wash your hands!

With FFP in the spotlight and everyone haemorrhaging cash, Patrick, Joe, and Dougie do some sofa scouting to find players available for under £20m across Europe. Dougie cheats a lot
