Velkommen to a brand new episode of On The Continent. This week, Marcus and James are joined by Norway’s finest: Lars Sivertsen! Lars talks about Norwegian wonder kid Martin Ødegaard’s move to Real Sociedad after an impressive season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem. We also squeeze in some chat about another Norwegian youngster showing great potential on the continent in the form of RB Salzburg’s Erling Braut Håland. Elsewhere, we check in with James after he returned from his pre-season travels with Inter where he encountered a slightly downbeat Antonio Conte. Will the club ever manage to offload Mauro Icardi? We also round up some more transfer shenanigans, as Nabil Fekir moves to Real Betis and Gareth Bale has yet to move from a Spanish golf course. FYI - On The Continent will be taking a break next Wednesday but we’ll be back the week after! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Welcome, one and all, to On The Continent—it’s a pleasure to have you with us. We begin with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, whose scrap over the Antoine Griezmann transfer continues. There has also been a chock-load of transfer activity in Turin and James talks us through the reasons behind Juventus’ effective transfer strategy. He also sings the praises of Aaron Ramsey, after his impressive Italian press conference. Over in Munich, Andy explains why Bayern fans might be feeling a little frustrated going into the new season as arrivals there remain sparse. We also find time to squeeze in some chat about Andy’s recent jaunt in Scandinavia and the start of the Russian Premier League! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

It’s part two of ATM’s Scandinavian sojourn, as we cross the border into northern Sweden to see minnows-turned-Allsvenskan fixtures Östersunds take on Norrköping on a sunny but fresh Sunday afternoon.  After the home side’s Leicester-born boss Ian Burchnall addresses the Jämtkraft Arena public, we speak to Jamie Hopcutt about his journey from teenage rejection at York City to giant-slaying under Graham Potter in the Europa League. The midfielder tells us about going from early trepidation to scoring perhaps the most famous goal in the club’s history against Galatasaray, as player and club have enjoyed a meteoric rise from the Swedish lower divisions to top-flight residency and silverware together.  Oh, and there’s a last-gasp winner thrown in for good measure.  At The Match episodes work on a standalone basis, but to catch up on Series 1 & 2, please search 'At The Match' in your podcast app. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

ATM reaches its most northern point yet on the map in part one of a Scandinavian special, as Norwegian champions Rosenborg get into the most intense part of their season.  Andy catches up with Adresseavisen sports editor Charlotte Sundberg to hear about the team trying to recover from a tough start, Nicklas Bendtner’s disappearance from view and the eagerness to revisit the European glory that caught Charlotte’s imagination as a child.  After the game, striker Alexander Soderlund tells us about his return to form while coach Erik Horneland describes just how important a Champions League return would be for Norway’s biggest club.  At The Match episodes work on a standalone basis, but to catch up on Series 1 & 2, please search 'At The Match' in your podcast app. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
