On the back of one of the most humiliating and angst-ridden defeats Providence Park has seen, it's happened: Phil Neville is OUT as Portland Timbers head coach.

How did it happen? Why did it happen now? What's next for the club? Sam and Alex broke it all down, as the latest era for the Timbers comes to an ignominious close.

After watching the Porland Timbers get schooled by the GOAT in Miami, the boys take to the mics to begin what in all likelihood will be the start of the eulogy for the Phil Neville era in Portland.

Sam, Alex, and Luukas outline how Portland lost in Miami, question substitution and rotation decisions, and lay out just why the current gaffer simply hasn't shown enough to remain the current gaffer.

Plus: with just one game left before the World Cup break, what does the future have in store for the Timbers in 2026 and beyond? And stick around to the end to hear some genuine appreciation for a man who is likely losing his job - but loved the city of Portland like few others.

Alternate Title: Sam, Luukas, and Jeremy vent about the Timbers for 45 minutes.

The season of woe rolls on for the Portland Timbers, as they turn in perhaps their worst performance of the year against RSL. Luukas & Jeremy join Sam to share what it was like to witness the futility in person, and then the boys dive into the weekend matchup against SKC.

What do we need to see from the Timbers this weekend? (Hint: it's not just a win). Is there any way that anything less than a dominant win would be satisfactory? (Hint: nope). Do we want to see the team ever attempt a high press again? (Hint: nooooope). Listen on to find out!

Oops, the Timbers suck again! (Or did they suck the entire time...?)

After a miserable attacking display in Minnesota, the STR crew drags themselves to the microphones to discuss another dismal loss.

Joined by Jeremy Peterman of Cascadia FC, Sam, Alex, and Luukas discuss what in the heck is wrong with this team's attack, and make an attempt to craft a reasonably sustainable identity for this team.

All that and more, including: Luukas' favorite word, the end of Alex's patience, Jeremy's tales of vehicular damage from Timbers training, and Sam processing his feelings about Ned Grabavoy & Phil Neville in real time.

The Timbers... finally... won... a game! For the first time since February the pod squad sits down to discuss a Portland Timbers victory. There were emotions. There was VAR intervention. There was Kevin Kelsy making us first pump in the press box. There was much rejoicing.

Sam, Alex, and Luukas broke down the win, from Velde's opener to Kelsy's dramatic winner. Then, the gang dives into some of the discourse online around the win, and what the victory might mean (or not mean) for the future of the Timbers.

Come for the Costco banter, stay for the emotional processing.

The Portland Timbers lost... again. To the Vancouver Whitecaps... again. In shocking and humiliating fashion... again. And it's starting to cause some ripples which could have big ramifications for the team.

Sam & Alex sat down to chat through the loss, and then parse through the comments Timbers GM Ned Grabavoy made to the media this week. Is Phil Neville on his way out? Why isn't any move being made now? Does Portland stand a chance against LAFC? The duo talk all about it in the latest episode of Stumptown Radio.

After the international break, the Portland Timbers return to action against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sam & Alex discuss how Portland might have started playing some decent soccer a few weeks ago, and what the odds are they can do it again this weekend.

Plus, the duo previews the upcoming slate of matches for PTFC. And folks, it might get a little bumpy.

A legendary rivalry win, a loss on the road to a maybe better than expected opponent, and a bounce back home win over the shell of last year's NWSL Shield winners: all in a week's work for the Thorns!

Emma, Sam, and Wilder react and break down to a trio of Thorns performances. How great was that win against Seattle? How worried are we about the loss to San Diego? How good were the Thorns against Kansas City, and my goodness what is going on with the Current? The triad of pod-talkers talk through it all!

The Portland Timbers lost in brutal fashion in Houston, cementing a three-game skid early on in the 2026 season. Sam and Alex took to the microphones to break down the loss, and discuss just what in the heck happened.

Then, the boys dive deep into the consternation around Phil Neville's tenure as Timbers head coach. How much blame does he hold for Portland's poor form? How much do the players hold? How can this all be fixed? Plus, looking ahead to a massive Sunday matinee against the Galaxy.

The 2026 NWSL season is here! Sam and Emma sit down to chat about the Portland Thorns season opening fixture in D.C. against the Spirit. How might the Thorns fare? Who will be on the sidelines? Will Soph Wilson start? We chat through all of that, after of course putting some respect on Renee Lyles' name (give her a contract, Jeff!)
