Spanish football expert Graham Hunter is back on Off The Ball Breakfast alongside Colm Boohig & Vinny Perth after his (OTB) summer sabbatical, for a wide-ranging chat on Spain, La Liga’s staggered start, and why players need real time to “disconnect” after a long season.

They dig into the tired old “Premier League intensity vs La Liga” debate, with Graham in no mood for clichés as he lays out what makes Spanish football such a demanding test.

Plus: José Mourinho’s shock return to Real Madrid, what version of him we might see in 2026, and how Madrid’s new signings stack up against a Rodri-boosted Barcelona...

And there’s a quick look at Troy Parrott’s potential move to Real Betis — and why it could be the perfect fit!
