Nathan, Caleb, and Nick break down another electrifying week of results from matchweek 3 of the 2020/21 Champions League. The lads unpack another Manchester United collapse, this time away to UCL newcomers İstanbul Başakşehir, and debate whether the lack of consistent growth indicates whether or not Ole's time at the wheel is coming to an end.

They also discuss if Diogo Jota's masterful performance in Atalanta should justify a starting place for Liverpool, ahead of Roberto Firmino, as the Reds prepare to travel to the Etihad at the weekend.

The trio examine a game of the year candidate between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and a 6-0 demolition of Shakhtar by Borussia Monchengladbach which sets the table for a chaotic finish in group B.

Nick reviews Julian Nagelsmann's latest fashion choices, and Nathan breaks down a phenomenal Europa League clash between Benfica and Steven Gerrard's high flying Rangers.

Nick, Caleb, and Nathan reconvene once again to discuss Arsenal claiming victory over a conventional top six club for the first time since 2015, after riding impressive midfield performances from Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny to win at Manchester United. The trio also react to another tactical flop from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and ponder what the Norweigian can fix to (once again) attempt get United back on track.

Next, the lads move into a dissection of the Mohammed Salah and Harry Kane penalty debate, highlighting the inconsistencies in media coverage between foreign and domestic English based superstars.

The trio finish the week by lamenting more dropped points by FC Barcelona in the wake of Bartomeu's resignation, and we marvel at Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he continues to elevate AC Milan's youthful resurgence.

Caleb and Nick react to Real Madrid's narrative flipping 3-1 victory over FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Caleb attempts to make sense of some puzzling tactical choices from Ronald Koeman, and Nick wonders if relying on an experienced and conservative eleven can help turn Madrid's season around.

The lads turn their attention to the Premier League in order to dissect clear systemic issues emerging with Manchester City's continued tepid performances following more dropped points at West Ham. Nick marvels at karma catching up to Everton in their first defeat away at St. Mary's, while Caleb speculates if the Toffees perceived lack of humility is subtracting from their play on the pitch. They also break down Jamie Vardy sinking the Arsenal ship yet again, and attempt to diagnose the issues surrounding a woefully misfiring Arsenal offense.

Love is also shown around Europe to underdog contenders Real Sociedad, Granada, & AC Milan as an excitingly competitive 20/21 season continues.

Nick, Caleb, and Nathan assemble in order to react to the many plentiful narratives stemming from the match week one in a brand new UEFA Champions League campaign. The lads examine a Marcus Rashford-inspired victory for Manchester United away in Paris, and dissect how Liverpool fared tactically against Ajax in their first test following Virgil Van Dijk's horrific season-altering injury.

The trio also take a deep look into the transitionary states of both Real Madrid in Barcelona after diametrically opposed results in midweek and ahead of this weekend's El Clasico. Is there a solution for Zidane's offensive woes, or did Shakhtar Donetsk's 3-2 win in Madrid force quiet systemic deficiencies in within the club all the more plain to see? And is youthful exuberance the path to victory for a new-look Barca against their fiercest rivals?

Time will tell, but there's an exciting weekend ahead.

P.S - Joshua Kimmich is a brilliant footballer.

Corner Kick Fam, it's time to talk big picture. Well...at least about Project Big Picture. Nathan and Nick assemble to discuss a few of the biggest stories stemming from quite a newsworthy international break. The lads discuss their safety concerns surrounding players traveling for international duty, and the subsequent increase and fallout of positive Covid-19 tests within squads.

The duo also discuss their complicated feelings surrounding Project Big Picture, and why the sweeping changes being proposed by John Henry and Joel Glazer (aka Liverpool and Manchester United) are both dangerously predatory and potentially revolutionary. Lastly, they discuss the negativity surrounding Gareth Southgate and the England squad following their scrappy victory over Belgium.

The Premier League has completely turned upside down. Nick, Nathan, and Caleb attempt to collect themselves following a series of jaw dropping humiliations, demolitions, and success stories in the topsy-turvy world that is the 20/21 season. Nick tries to assess his beloved Liverpool's historic 7-2 collapse away to Aston Villa, and if the champions stand any hope of correcting their calamitous defense.

The lads break down Tottenham's 6-1 obliteration of Manchester United, and wonder if this result is the culmination of several public executive mishaps for the Red Devil's. We also examine whether Jose Mourinho's project is finally blossoming into a resurgent (and goal hungry) Spurs side.

The boys wrap things up by praising an exceptionally well balanced Everton, while introducing a (unintentionally) hilarious new segment: Two Sentence Takes.

Utter Madness.

Nick and Nathan go one on one as Arsenal and Liverpool are set to face off at Anfield twice in the same week. The lads examine the high stakes nature of Monday's Premier League encounter, including a debate on whether an away day at Anfield will be Mikel Arteta's greatest test in his young managerial career, and if Liverpool need a customary dominant performance to firmly kickstart their title defense. Is Nick worried about Liverpool's shaky defensive performances? Is Nathan concerned about the emergence of Thiago in the prem? Which rotated side will be more prepared for the EFL (or Carabao/Capital One?) cup tie?

It's a massive clash of English titans as our boys get set for another edition of the Corner Kick Clasico!

Caleb, Nathan, and Nick return with their (over) reactions to the results from week one of the 2020/21 Premier League season. The lads discuss the much hyped impact of Leeds United, whether or not Fulham or West Brom are doomed on arrival, and if Everton's samba-powered midfield can propel them to a European place. The crew also react to Liverpool finally signing Thiago, and Tottenham's dire start to the season, which has seen Jose put up the Bale signal.

We then switch gears to Ligue Un to react to the disastrous bust-up that was Marseille's victory over PSG, and dissect what could possibly be the single worst miss of all time from the Belgian League.

Caleb, Nathan and Nick are joined by Bill Gallagher, sports editor for the Yale Daily News, in order to preview the clubs featuring at the top of the Premier League this season. The lads debate if Leicester will take a step back this season, why Mourinho and Spurs could be approaching disaster, and if Arteta's rehab of Arsenal can lead the Gooners to a spot in the top four.

Next, Bill, a massive Chelsea fan, lays out his excitement and expectations for Frank Lampard and the Blues following one of the best transfer windows in league history. The crew finish with a heated sparring session focused on the potential regression of Liverpool following a lackluster transfer window, and whether or not Guardiola and Man City can display the mental fortitude required to reclaim the title.

Heavy hitters and hot takes abound as we eagerly anticipate what could be one of the most exciting Premier League title races in recent memory.

Nick, Caleb, and Nathan continue their three part preview of the 2020/2021 Premier League season, with the lads focusing on the teams that finished in and around mid-table last year. The crew debate whether or not Everton's big money midfield acquisitions flatter to deceive, and if signing promising wonder kid Fabio Silva is too big a gamble for the Portuguese powerhouses in Wolverhampton. We also ponder if Newcastle and Southampton are poised to take a step up after some shrewd maneuvers in the transfer window.

The trio wrap things up by giving their thoughts on episode two of Tottenham: All or Nothing, examining Jose Mourinho's first attempts at motivating and winning over his new squad.

Recorded late at night, this pod comes jam packed with plenty of silliness (and sensuality?) as we look towards the beginning of a new campaign in the most competitive league in the world.

Premier League teams discussed in the episode:

Burnley, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Sheffield United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton
