This week Sam & Natalie are joined by Chelsea, Swansea, Roma, Liverpool, Sunderland, AC Milan, Hellas Verona, Fatih Karagümrük and Sampdoria forward...FABIO BORINI!
Fabio Borini sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from his time in the Premier League with Chelsea, Liverpool and Sunderland to what life is like as a current free agent.
Fabio and Sam start the pod by talking about Fabio's life as a free agent and why at 34 years old he's fitter than ever and not yet ready to call time on his career in the game.
Fabio, Sam & Natalie then dissect this weekend's Manchester Derby, why the Manchester United players may be overthinking Ruben Amorim's system, would Manchester United actually sack Ruben Amorim if results don't pick up and how solid Gianluigi Donnarumma looked on his Manchester City debut.
They then both discuss their time together at Sunderland as Fabio describes what it's like to play for Big Sam and the feeling of surviving in the Premier League after a tough relegation battle.
Fabio then talks in great detail about the differences between Italian and English football, why playing in Italy can be incredibly tough mentally and how well Scott McTominay has settled into life at Napoli.
The duo then discuss Liverpool's season, how they're able to continuously score late winners, whether Fabio thinks they will win the Premier League this season before chatting about how his time on Merseyside came to an end.
Ahead of the Merseyside Derby this weekend Fabio talks about the best derbies he's played in including Milan derby, Rome derby, Merseyside derby and the Tyne–Wear derby and which one was the best to play in.
Sam & Fabio then talk about their time at Sunderland together, why Granit Xhaka is a fantastic signing for the club and if Sunderland have enough to survive this season.
Finally we end the pod with Fabio discussing the best managers he's played under and the different traits and qualities they'll all had.
