Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of the Spanish Football Podcast. I'm Phil

0:11.6

Kittre-Millidis joined as ever by my good friend, colleague and all-round magnificent

0:16.5

human being, Dr Sidlow. Hello Sidney. Hello Philip. That's quite an introduction.

0:20.8

Well I thought you deserved it. You're worth it. You got up extremely early this morning and

0:25.4

you went halfway across the country to see Juan La Porta speak. It was an important moment in

0:32.2

potentially the history of the recent history of Spanish football and Barcelona. So you had to

0:36.9

be there obviously. We're going to talk about that in just a second. Let's tell everyone first

0:41.2
