Episode 356:



Not many NYCFC fans made it to Vancouver for the second regular season match for the Pigeons.  The number probably was not too far off from the number of supporters that traveled to Connecticut for the first leg of the CCL Quarterfinals.



This week the guys discuss the 0-0 draw from the weekend and then reconvene on Tuesday after the 3-1 victory over Communicaciones.

Episode 452:



Some weeks the guys sit and wonder what they will talk about.  After all the way NYCFC has been playing under Nick Cushing has not always been the most thrilling soccer.  This week as the final minutes of the match in Toronto ticked down they knew this episode would be a little different, maybe a little easier to find the joy and comfort in podcasting.  Then the final whistle blew and all the narratives immediately changed.



This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen unpack the melee, the accusations, the press conferences and all the news surrounding  Saturday’s match.



In the second segment the guys welcome Cheyenne (@btwncleansheets) on the show to talk about her plans to travel the continent watching soccer and experiencing the world.

Episode 451:



David Lee, Nick Cushing and company have made the conscious decision to fill the New York City FC roster with an abundance of young men.  Young men that are still developing mentally, physically and emotionally.  



On a team where the veteran players are 26 years old the only thing coaches can count on is inconsistency.



This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen invite Andrew Leigh from Hudson River Blue on the show to discuss the unwatchable loss from Sunday as the Citizens hosted Colorado.

Episode 450:



NYCFC played the fourth of their five-game homestand on Saturday night and despite falling behind early to a team that has frustratingly gotten the best of them, a late winner by Alonso Martinez sealed the three points. 



This week Mike and J.R. welcome one of the more polarizing members of the NYCFC social media community, Coach Joe, to the show to discuss the 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC.  Together the three take a look at the key plays and moments from the match and share some post-game audio from the players.  



Mike also had a chance to chat with Hannes Wolf during the week at training and they talk about the transition to MLS and settling in at New York City FC.

Episode 449:



This weekend was a high-point for NYCFC fans.  The team capped off another victory against an Eastern Conference rival, DC United, but more importantly Mayor Adams and Councilman Moya were on hand in CitiField to officially recognize the approval of NYCFC’s soccer specific stadium in Willet’s Point.  



The guys this week discuss the plans for the stadium and share some audio from Mayor Adams, NYCFC CEO, Brad Sims and NYCFC COO, Jennifer O’Sullivan.  



They also break down the victory against a depleted DC United lineup including audio from Nick Cushing, Mounsef Bakrar, Kevin O’Toole, James Sands, and Keaton Parks.
