Summer of Soccer - by Big Soccer Preview episodes

  • Steve Gerrard, Gerrard

    Late, missing a player, questionable quality. This week's episode is a lot like Aston Villa, but at least we're not sacking anyone. Adam and Jordan say goodbye to Steven Gerrard, who departs Villa Park following a thumping by Caleb's Fulham (it's just a shame he's not here to enjoy it.) They also break down some of the fallout from Liverpool's 1-0 win over Man City, look ahead to Graham Potter's Chelsea taking on a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Man United this Saturday, and.....oh, wait, sorry. Ronaldo's just walked off from the studio. I wasn't even done talking, Ronnie. How rude. Anyways, Adam also tells us about Caleb's visit to see him last weekend and their nostalgic trip to an arcade bar. *takes deep break* TEEN-AGE, MUT-ANT, NIN-JA TURTLES!

  • This Land is Haaland

    The first Premier League weekend promised some bangers, and boy did it deliver. Adam, Jordan, and Caleb are here to break down the Manchester Derby, where Erling Haaland made hat-trick history and Phil Foden ran riot. Arsenal came out on top in the North London Derby, Fulham fell to Newcastle in the season's first We Ate All the Pies Derby, and the group talks about red cards that maybe shouldn't have been. Finally, it's the return of Top Shelf Picks and the guys dissect the.....interesting choices made by Fox for their World Cup coverage.

    P.S.- Please enjoy the random Homestar Runner references.

  • Let the Countdown Begin

    Set your clocks, strap in and get ready for a 7-week football marathon. The final international break before the much anticipated winter World Cup is over, and Adam and Caleb are here to break it down. First this podcast gets a little more American than usual as we assess the USMNT performance over the last week (Spoiler: not good). They also take a look at England, before looking ahead to our first Premier League weekend in a while, and what a doozy it'll be. Three derbies: North London, Manchester, and the most important of all, a We Ate All the Pies Derby between Fulham and Newcastle at the Cottage. Finally, Adam takes us to Ipswich Town, whose surprisingly full history is sure to make you want to load up the Football Manager and bring this club back to glory.

  • Prodigal Son

    This weekend, we learned what happens when you bench Heung-Min Son. Spoiler: it ain't good for the opposition. We Ate All the Pies is also back in full force with, count'em, FOUR participants, as Adam, Jorda, Caleb and Devan talk the Premier League season so far. Who's amending their predictions, who was wrong to think Haaland wouldn't just straight up dominate these fools, and who's super pissed at West Ham United right now? The guys also delve into the World Cup as squads are named for the one and only international week we have to endure until all eyes settle on Qatar. Finally, stick around to see how Jordan miffed Adam with one simple text.

  • One Wishes to Have a Kickabout

    It was a quiet week in the Premier League, and in all of English football, as we say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II. Fortunately, football returns this weekend, and Jordan and Adam are here to look forward to it. They discuss the postponement of games in honor of Her Majesty, some important European results, the appointment of Graham Potter as Chelsea manager, and what games will be going ahead starting Friday. Plus, there's some USMNT and England National Team talk as the World Cup grows ever closer, the return of Top Shelf Picks, and we head to South Yorkshire to visit Doncaster Rovers in this week's Welcome to... segment.

  • Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of VAR
    Another Premier League week, another managerial casualty. Thomas Tuchel is the surprise name to be thrown out the window as Chelsea's new ownership shake things up after a not so fun time in the Blues' opening Champions League game. Adam, Caleb, and Jordan discuss what's next for Chelsea and whether Graham Potter is the right fit at Stamford Bridge. VAR was on everyone's minds after last weekend's Premier League action, and the boys talk about how to once and for all fix (or just kill) the video assistant technology. After a game of Rate My Transfer Window, it's time to look ahead to a weekend full of action that includes Man City-Tottenham, Brendan Rogers and Steven Gerrard's race to the bottom, and the first We Ate All the Pies Derby of the season. 
    P.S.- Please indulge us as we get super American and nostalgic for the final 10 minutes or so.

  • R.I.Parker-Ball

    This week on We Ate All the Pies, we say goodbye....or, maybe just "bye" to the first managerial casualty of the season. Scott Parker was only 4 games old when the Bournemouth board stuck the knife in following the haymakers thrown by Liverpool in a 9-0 thrashing. Jordan, Caleb, and Adam mull over midweek matches, break down the North London clubs' chances after their solid start to the season, ponder what could possibly be wrong with Chelsea, and predict the big stories on this summer's deadline day. Finally, Jordan takes us on a journey north, to almost-Scotland, and welcomes us to Berwick Rangers.

  • The Premier League is Drunk

    It's very clear the Premier League came back too early from holiday, was still drunk the first week and is now hungover. That's the only way Adam, Jordan, and Caleb can explain the insanity of these first three weeks. This time around, we start with Man United's table-turning win against Liverpool and the Reds fans crying out for a midfielder, a midfielder, my kingdom for a midfielder. Leeds raised eyebrows by thumping Chelsea, Newcastle went toe-to-toe with City and their Norwegian giant, and we ask if Leicester or West Ham fans should be concerned (spoiler: Adam is concerned). Later we catch up on Top Shelf picks, talk about some killer FX shows coming out, and welcome you to the mighty Crawley Town FC.

  • If You Can't Stand the Heat

    This week, Adam, Jordan and Caleb answer the only question that matters in the world right now: Who would win in a fight between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte? The Spurs-Chelsea slugfest leads off a full weekend of action in a water-break filled Premier League, as temperatures soared literally and figuratively. We hand a Darwin Award to Liverpool's Nunez for falling hook, line, and sinker to Joachim Andersen's dark arts defending. Plus, what on Earth is wrong at Manchester United? Jordan still leads the way in Top Shelf Picks, and in a We Ate All the Pies first, it's a new segment: Welcome to...Walton & Hersham FC!
