Daniel and Have Hope discuss the Premier League charing Manchester City with over 100 infractions of rules. What is the Premier League's motive? Are these criminal charges, and if not, what means do the Premier League have to prove their accusations, and what recourse to Man City have to fight them? More broadly, wasn't this an outcome we could have expected from the start of City's project, and why are these coming now? As football fans, should we be concerned with how governing bodies are regulating new competition? Elsewhere, a heavy earthquake struck in Turkiye and Syria. Footballers are part of the story, but they can't be the whole story.

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Paul Ansorge.

They discuss where Paul grew up, and living in Zimbabwe as a kid (also meeting Robert Mugabe). Maradona at the 1986 World Cup. Zidane at the 1998 World Cup. How did he come to support Manchester United, and witnessing the Sir Alex era—from the 1980s through the 2010s—and why the return of No. 7 soured the love. The interesting role football writing/podcasting played in helping get his career in psychotherapy going after school. We end with the quick fire round, featuring elephants, his mother's artwork, the woods, and De La Soul.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss reaching 300 episodes and the podcasting path for 25 minutes. Then: Enzo Fernandez from Benfica to Chelsea for €121 million, and the transfer strategy employed by the west London club. Can football sustain the imbalance in spending? Premier League v Everybody. Also, why players (e.g. Brighton's Moisés Caicedo) must start placing buy-out/release clauses in their contracts to avoid being held back from making what they should be making.

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Roy Nemer of Mundo Albiceleste.

They discuss how Roy came about watching and supporting Barcelona and Argentina. Moving from Ontario to Quebec in his youth, and why that move shifted his profession when entering university. How he started working on Mundo Albiceleste and eventually became the owner. We then got into Argentina's path through the 2022 World Cup, from Saudi Arabia to France, and the rollercoaster of emotions caused by the journey. It ends with quick-fire questions, from film to music to travel to football.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea. The form, politics, and rumours surrounding Mason Mount. Frank Lampard was sacked as Everton boss, what does his future hold? Why don't England make good managers? Arsenal 3-2 Manchester United provided some old-school vibes. Erling Haaland is a goalscoring phenomenon; Have Hope wants dribblers. If David Ornstein's report is accurate, and Harry Kane is willing/wanting to remain with Tottenham Hotspur, we ask the obvious question: "Why?"

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss the Supercopa de España between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Should Madrid regret allowing Casemiro to leave, and finding them a new manager isn't so simple. Manchester United turned 0-1 to 2-1 in the space of four minutes against Manchester City. Was their first goal legal, and is Pep Guardiola playing mind games with himself? Arsenal took care of Tottenham in the North London Derby, as Chelsea won the race for Mykhailo Mudryk. Might that be a blessing in disguise for the Gunners? Napoli are playing great football, and should your club's owner be in a Twitter space?

Daniel and Have Hope discuss the career, legacy, and importance of Pelé. Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. Did the Portuguese make the right decision to cash out, is he still in the frame for the national side, and is his profile so large no matter where he plays (or how old he gets) his fans will follow him. We end with some table talk, focused on Arsenal, and their ability to win the league, and Kylian Mbappé showing up to a Brooklyn Nets game with Achraf Hakimi during his World Cup break, and why the Frenchman is the next superstar.

Daniel and Carl discuss the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup. The Argentina/Croatia semi-final, and how Croatia have outdone themselves in terms of population. The France/Morocco semi-final, and Africa's first World Cup semi-finalist. Do you believe in third-place games? Angel Di Maria's big-game performance in the World Cup final. Didier Deschamps hooking Ousmane Dembélé and Olivier Giroud. Did you feel France had chance to win until Kylian Mbappé exploded, and why Emiliano Martínez is a cheat code in knock-out football. Was Argentina/France the best final you've ever watched, and where do you rank this World Cup in the ones you've watched?

Within those conversations and at the end, a more macro view of Qatar, the contradictions of consuming the games, the capital (both financial and human) spent to make it happen, how FIFA dove headfirst in this direction post 2006, and whether the critical energy that followed South Africa, Brazil, Russia, and Qatar will follow the World Cup to Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America in 2026—or will the handwringing take a break?

It's a long one, but you'll find your way. See you in 2023!

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Morocco being the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final. Brazil losing to Croatia on penalties. Harry Kane missing a decisive penalty. France weren't great against England, but they got across the line. Griezmann stepping up. Which final do you think we'll get? Messi balling at a World Cup, and is Cristiano Ronaldo finished?
