A weekend slate which seemingly had so much potential last Friday evening was...well....it was what it was. All of the major games including the Copa Lib final (boring), the Man United-Arsenal match (scoreless), Marseille & Stade Rennes (cancelled) failed to live up to the hype. We still managed to squeeze two hours out of the weekend by calling out PSG, evaluating game 2 of Tuchel's reign at Chelsea, questioning whether anyone in Liga MX is actually good, and wondering what happened to the Sao Paulo team that was soaring atop the Brasilerao.  

We also discuss Jose's future at Spurs, suggest that Scott Parker's Fulham may be doomed to an unfortunate relegation, and evaluate the January transfer window's most notable moves including Ozan Kabak's loan to Liverpool. We also lament the lack of fights and music from the weekend.

The most important game in the Western hemisphere has arrived as Santos meet Palmerias at the Maracana in the Copa Libertadores final. We preview the game and discuss whether Cuca's experience is the x-factor, wonder if Weverton might be the difference maker, and predict that the team who paces themselves best may just win this massive clash. Then, we bounce back across the Atlantic and recap the Premier League's midweek action which saw Spurs take a hit while North London rivals Arsenal continue to creep towards the European places. We also discuss the relegation six-pointer at the AMEX, Man United's shocking loss to last-place Sheffield, and Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea bow. 

Later, we bounce around the globe to cover a fiery Milan derby which ended with Lukaku's side smiling, a potentially decisive weekend for the race of challengers to Ajax in the Netherlands, and a massive week for the Champions League hopefuls in the Bundesliga. We also wonder whether Lille & Lyon can continue to challenge Pochettino's PSG, debate whether the Brazilian title is Inter's to lose, and assess the varying states of panic at Mexico's biggest football clubs. Regrettably, we also forget poor Carlos Gonzalez's last name for the third week running before closing the show by reviewing the recently-confirmed card for UFC 259 which sees three title fights including a big test for pound-for-pound star Israel Adesanya.

In a weekend of wild results, the continued madness of the Brasileirao reached new heights as Inter stunned Gremio to tighten their grasp on top spot. We discuss the controversial call that gave Inter the win and the continued implosion of title rivals Sau Paulo who were held by strugglers Coritiba. But first, we discuss all of the action from around Europe including Newcastle's cluelessness, Milan's inexperience, and Leipzig's questionable late game tactics. We also suggest that Liverpool will be okay, wonder whether Messi's absence may have exposed a new side of Frenkie de Jong's game, and praise the performance of Thomas Tuchel's former side--PSG--while wondering if the German was the right choice for Chelsea. 

At the end of the show, we discuss Young Dolph's Rich Slave (which I only now realize is actually just a deluxe re-release) and wonder whether too many of today's artists are neither clever nor creative when making music. Finally, we react to UFC 257 including stunning displays by Michael "Bootstraps" Chandler and Dustin Poirier. We also discuss Conor McGregor's future and call for rumors of his demise to be quieted until they have legit reason to exist.

It all felt inevitable, but it has finally happened and Chelsea have sacked club legend Frank Lampard halfway through his second season at the London side. We discuss the move from every angle and suggest that the players giving upon Lampard in last week's loss to Leicester was probably damage that even an FA Cup win against second-tier Luton could never fix. We also discuss the aspects of Lampard's management that failed him and wonder if not knowing how to be harsh on players in the right situations may have been his undoing. 

We also discuss the appointment of former Borussia Dortmund and PSG manager Thomas Tuchel as Lampard's successor. While he's smart tactically, we worry that the German is not cut out for some of the other aspects of football management which proved to be his undoing at the French giants.

We're officially (not really) halfway through the Premier League season so ESPN thought it was a good time to give out awards. We mock their picks (Kurt Zouma) and give our definitely (not) correct picks for all the major honors. We also discuss Liverpool's loss and commend Burnley's improvement over the course of the season before checking in on all of the teams in the title race including Leicester, Man United and City. We also checked on Chelsea and tried to figure out what's going on with their managerial position. Crystal Palace also receive loads of praise for the addition of Jean-Philippe Mateta .

Later, we talked all the football around the world including a big game for PSG against Montpellier, a chance for Frankfurt to gain ground on their top four rivals, and the madness unfolding in the race for the Brasilerao title as Sao Paulo lose control against Inter. As always, Liga MX gets some love as we check in on Santi & Juan once again and wonder whether Pumas might be hiding in plain sight. Finally, we wonder where Eddie Hearn found Canelo's next opponent and preview Conor McGregor's long-awaited return against Dustin Poirier in UFC 257.

Max Holloway delivered a performance for the ages on fight night that had Calvin Kattar headed to the back row of homeroom. We discuss the Hawaiian's dominant display and wonder what challenge could lie ahead for him--including a couple of intriguing bouts in the lightweight division. First, we discuss the weekend of football including the ever-intriguing relegation battle that saw Fulham lose ground on Brighton despite a brave performance against Chelsea while Wolves gifted three vital points to Big Sam's Baggies.  

We also handicap the race for the Premier League title and suggest that it may be best defense (see Dias, Ruben) wins while wondering if Ole suddenly has an unexpected leg up on Jurgen in one vital area. Title races around the globe are also discussed with the tightening pack in Brazil and the Milan runaway in Serie A grabbing a large share of the attention. Plus, we reflect on the second week of play in Liga MX which saw Santos & Monterrey step forward as the two clear favorites out of the gate.

It's early, but the biggest weekend of the year so far is here. A clash of the top two teams in the table in England is here with traditional powers United & Liverpool once again taking center stage. We discuss United's win over Burnley, praise City's other-worldly defense, and wonder how high Scott Parker's Fulham can fly. We also bounce around Europe to discuss a number of other "prove it" matches as Roma aim to show their title credentials in the Derby della Capitale, Feyenoord look to upset Ajax's title ambitions in De Klassieker, and Ronald Koeman looks to win his first trophy* (yes, asterik) for over a decade.   

Plus, Max Holloway returns to the cage for what could be a career-altering moment while our long wait for some hip-hop releases to talk about continues. We also plead with Cruz Azul's players to help out our friend Juan Reynoso, wonder whether Boca or Palmerias' pursuit of their league title is more damaged by their midweek Copa Libertadores showing, and preview a pair of mouthwatering clashes across the globe: Club America-Monterrey & Southampton-Leicester. At some point in the show, we also fixed super cups.

In a few deft touches of the ball by Antony in Der Topper on Sunday, Sebastien Haller saw more magic than his former teammates managed to produce over entire ninety minutes of water-logged football away to Stockport. Elsewhere, Brighton & Newport managed to make even a penalty shootout uninspiring while Carlos Vinicius put a team of trainee plumbers to the sword by thrashing the ball home from about six inches out. We recap all of the "magical" action from a weekend that has us wondering whether "malaise" wouldn't be a better description of England's oldest trophy.   

Later, we discuss all the football that was actually enjoyable to watch including a tide-turning weekend in the Bundesliga, a wild finish to an enthralling campaign in Argentina, and a Dutch classic worthy of its nickname. Plus, the potential plight of Juan Reynoso at Cruz Azul and a preview of all of the mid-week action around the globe.

For many who don't follow the league, Major League Soccer is seen as a joke and the decision to sack Diego Alonso in favor of Phil Neville will only reinforce that gross stereotype. We discuss how Beckham's "jobs for the boys" move is a perfect representation of what's wrong with the philosophy of those in power in MLS and how the league could fix its problems and go to a new level.   

We also discuss the semifinals of the EFL Cup and the Copa Libertadores, Sebastien Haller's move to the Netherlands, Arsenal's transfer plans, Diego Simeone's future at Atleti, and a host of other topics.  

Later, we preview the weekend in the word of football including the FA Cup welcoming the Premier League sides, the Bundesliga reaching a critical juncture, and crucial games in Argentina & the Netherlands. The new Liga MX campaign is later previewed and Lewis Hamilton's contractual situation also gets an unexpected mention on the show.
