Tea & Busquets

This week, the lads are joined by former co-worker, group chat member and 5 a side goalkeeping legend Conor Barlow. 

Ryan and Billy are joined by the lifelong Chelsea Fan and discuss all the fallout from the recent developments regarding Chelsea's long standing owner and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. What's next for the European champions and can Conor convince Jeff Bezos to table a bid?

In more serious matters, all our thoughts and prayers go to the innocent people of Ukraine. 

In this more informative episode, the chaps from East Yorkshire discuss the involvement of the Red Bull group and specifically their investment in the football domain. From Salzburg to Brazil and the incredible rise of RB Leipzig, has the multi million pound company found the sweet spot in elite football development? Or does it leave a bad taste in the mouth? 

Ryan combines caffeine and taurine in a potentially dangerous hour for his overall cardio health. Tune in to the end to see if he makes it. 

Enjoy as always! 

PS. we don't like or recommend energy drinks, but if Red Bull are listening, we like sponsorships. 

Another January window slams shut, for this season at least. Ryan and Billy discuss the major in and out goings around the Premier League and the rest of Europe. Villa victorious? Are Newcastle safe after spending a cool £90+ million? And will the presenters on Sky Sports News ever find their personalities? 

Enjoy this round up. More to come this week. 

The lads from Hull are back for the first episode of 2022. Hull City are discussed as the new owners begin their Turkish tenure. Ronaldo and Man United, a poetic ending to a wonderful career or a bitter farewell following a fist fight with Fred? 

Ryan explores the discography of Kanye West and Coca-Cola is shared in homage to CR7's love of water. 

Enjoy.

In the latest edition of Tea & Busquets, the pair from Hull talk about all things, well, Hull. Whilst enjoying some of the finest local delicacies, Ryan and Billy explore the recent history of their local club. As well as looking forward to the prospective sale to Turkish Businessman Acun Ilicali. 

Is this end of the Allam circus that's seen the club up for sale for 7 long years? Does Grant McCann look a bit like a battered herby starch? And does Ryan know something Tesco doesn't? 

They're back on the Yorkshire Tea bags as well, enjoy. 

SEASON 2 Begins.

The lads return from their dark summer mourning the result of the EUROs to discuss the main talking points from the last few months within the football world. The FIFA transfer window that actually happened, is it finally time for Ole and why has Mason Mount in particular made Ryan so happy? 

Sipping on a sugarless brew, sit back and enjoy this instalment of Tea and Busquets. 

As we approach the dying embers of the Covid19 Pandemic, Billy and Ryan dissect England's realistic potential of winning the tournament, and in fact bringing the beautiful game back to its rightful origins. From Dominic Calvert-Lewin's corduroy suits and crying to our parents over Gazza, to walks in the country with Gareth Southgate. All is debated over two pint cans of Carlsberg. 

With a fundamental rise in statistical analysis, the two chaps from 'Ull welcome their very first guest onto the podcast. George Allen, a key component of the Tea & Busquets 6-a-side team, has spent over 5 years working for The Press Association as a 'World Football Specialist', in which he provides quantitative data to global companies. Delving into the powerful world of data/ stats, the three attempt to dissect how this influences the beautiful game. Did you know Stewart Downing has more Premier League assists than Paul Scholes? depressing, isn't it?

Sick and tired of those Robert Lewandowski TikTok videos? Or what about the confusing terminology footballer players' utilize on social media platforms? if the answer to both those questions is 'yes', then you're not alone. We, as a society, spend countless hours staring into our screens, consuming endless streams of nonsensical information. In an attempt to try and save humanity, the two gentlemen from Hull decide to try and distinguish just what the 'social dilemma' means not only for society, but for the beautiful game itself. Warning: this podcast rightly contains many naughty words and a very special announcement. 

Rain fell upon the rustic windows in Billy's first new home fixture of the season. Ever signed Messi on Fifa for your local team? Does Grealish NEED to move? Have Chelsea just completed the window of the decade? and does Owen Hargreaves know what a dancefloor is? Of course, Yorkshire Tea is sipped and the best biscuit in the world is dipped in the most jam-packed episode yet. Warning: contains more naughty words than usual.
