After last week's exploits in the Swiss Cup, Theo is joined in this episode by pod debutant Dan Hunt to digest this weekend's return to league action this weekend - and teams are starting to show their minerals (or lack there of, in some cases)In the Super League, "the Theo Rowley derby" saw Neuchatel Xamax lose to FC Basel, whilst Young Boys clinically dispatched FC Zurich. Meanwhile, as Lugano lost to St Gallen, we ask how realistic it is that the Bianconeri can finish 3rd again.We also find time to admire Servette for slotting into life in the top-flight, and commend Stephane Henchoz for starting so well at Sion.In the Challenge League, we have a look at Friday night's Zurich derby as Grasshoppers drew with Winterthur, whilst we also applaud the formidable Lausanne-Sport for sticking five past Aarau (who may need to re-think their promotion ambitions) and ask if Chiasso are for this division or not.Ahead of Young Boys' second leg to Crvena Zvezda, we dream of Champions League football, and look ahead to this Friday's group draw (which may or may not feature YB)All that, plus Dan talks us through his most memorable Swiss games and describes why Massimo Maccarone still makes FCB fans shudder.Want to get in touch?
