Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: Midweek all across Europe has been overwhelmed by transfer moves and misdirection, surprising domestic cup results, but in no other league but Serie A can the calamities, controversies and conspiracy theories reign so supreme as they do in Italy - and in the maelstrom of this winter period comes the start-stop musical chairs saga involving Mirko Vucinic and Fredy Guarin at the break. We examine the net effect of this disaster for Inter in its dealings with Juventus and what it may signal in terms of the futures for Marco Branca, Massimo Moratti and even the new Internazionale president himself, Erick Thohir, who seems to have turned up lacking for his first transfer window in charge of the Nerazzurri. Should this be the point where Inter now turns the page and begins unloading as many veterans as it can and what next for club stalwarts like Zanetti and Cambiasso who must look at Antonio Conte and Clarence Seedorf as trends in this ever changing league where club legends are suddenly returning to take the reigns. In part two we examine the ongoing troubles at Manchester United with a very different kind of analysis, breaking down the top-eight clubs of today in their battle with one another and yet more significant trend emerges - this ongoing problem for David Moyes in his Premier League career where he has often turning up lacking against the very top of the league since his days at Everton. These are the valuable six point matches that define a season, and that is also where Manchester City and Chelsea now show their dominance with a rather remarkable Everton already exceeding what they did in this part of the table a year ago. In part three we take a pitstop into the return of the Bundesliga with some amazing results posted by Bayern Munich in the first half, further reinforcing the perception that Germany is no longer a competition, but a coronation for the defending champions. We also have an important announcement for the show, taking BTP in another direction, take a listen, we are on our way to even bigger things in 2014.
