The Corner Flag

The FA Cup 4th Round gave us some massive upsets and some close calls! Middlesborough knocked Man United out on penalties and Amogh has slid straight into depression. Everton beat Brentford 4-1, and Aakarsh has come out of depression! Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest smashed Leicester City 4-1, and Brendan Rodgers was NOT happy. Neither was that Leicester fan who ran out on to the pitch. Kidderminster Harriers and Plymouth Argyle almost beat West Ham and Chelsea, but it wasn't to be. The boys discuss all the action and also round up what has been a hilariously memorable AFCON...and play another edition of #RandiRona!

Apologies for the late upload! We waited an extra day to make sure we got all the deadline day news in, and then had to wait another day due to 'technical difficulties.' Although, we're pretty sure Amogh just held the upload to see if United would make any moves AFTER the window shut. Spoiler alert: They didn't. The boys discuss Dele and VDB's moves to Everton and if they can review their careers, Newcastle's smart moves and whatever the hell went on with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang!

It goes from bad to worse for Everton, as Lucas Digne made an immediate impact on his return to Goodison Park, providing the assist to Emi Buendia's winner. While Aakarsh was not around to rant about his beloved Toffees, Amogh was full of glee at Man United's back to back victories over Brentford and West Ham! Against all odds, United now find themselves in 4th spot. Who would have thunk it? After the Brentford victory, Bees manager Thomas Frank was not too pleased, maybe his mercury is in retrograde!  Meanwhile Watford slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Norwich, which also gave us a goal of the season contender in Josh Sargent's scorpion kick. This result takes Norwich OUT OF THE RELEGATION ZONE! But this also means Ranieri's position as manager of Watford is under threat. (UPDATE: Ranieri was sacked 30 minutes after we finished recording. What ya, Watford.) We also talk about the Indian Womens Football Team and their abrupt end to the AFC Womens Asian Cup, thanks to a COVID outbreak in the camp. Devastating, disappointing, but we're all behind you, Tigresses! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @cornerflagpod Visit us on www.thecornerflag.in and hit that donate button!

Hear that guys? That's the sound of our very own Aakarsh Chandan being...happy! Yes, it's happened. After an abysmal run of form, Rafa Benitez has finally been sacked as manager of Everton! What does this mean for the Toffees? Is the season still a write off? Who should be taking charge? Aakarsh rants about it all! Also, Amogh rants about Manchester United...because what is even the point of loving that football club anymore? Ralf's gegenpressing isn't really working, and things need to change. Maybe it wasn't Ole's fault after all... We also talk about the shambles that are COVID postponements, and the weirdest footballer name...ever.  Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @cornerflagpod Visit us on www.thecornerflag.in and hit that donate button!

The FA Cup 3rd round is always fantastic because there are some giant killings in store for us! That was certainly the case as Nottingham Forest downed an Arsenal dressed in a unique all white kit. Cambridge United beat Newcastle United 1-0 to make Kieran Trippier's start to life at Newcastle a miserable one, and while Shrewsbury Town looked like they would knock out Liverpool, the kids came up with the goods and Liverpool won 4-1!

We also talk about Hull narrowly missing out victory over Everton, with special emphasis on Rafa Benitez's terrible tactics. His excuse? He knows the city. Bhai waah.

Following Lukaku's unauthorised interview with Sky Italia where he professed his love and yearning for a return to Inter Milan, Thomas Tuchel promptly dropped him from the matchday squad against Liverpool. Liverpool looks to be in cruise control after going 2-0 up but stunning goals from Kovacic and Pulisic got Chelsea back into the game!

Elsewhere, Arsenal looked to get one over league leaders Man City, but their absolute stupidity got the better of them, and a last minute winner from Rodri settled it in the Cityzen's favour. Plus, West Ham returned to winning ways against Crystal Palace, and Aakarsh imploded on the podcast much like Everton.

Also, new year, new #RandiRona

Boxing Day always throws up some smashing fixtures, and this year it was more of the same! Man City and Leicester whipped up a 9 goal thriller, Arsenal knocked 5 past Norwich, and Spurs continued their steady ascent towards the top of the table, aided in part by Wilfried Zaha's stupidity.

Plus, we have a bit of a festive treat with the return of a Christmas special #RandiRona!

Happy New Year friends. Stay safe out there!

The Premier League clubs got into an emergency meeting with the authorities, but surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) the festive round of fixtures will go ahead! YAY MONEHHHH!

With 6 games postponed, the matches were as depleted as most squads, but there were still some bangers in there! Spurs managed to hold Liverpool to an entertaining 2-2 draw which saw Andy Robertson score, assis and get sent off. Harry Kane however, didn't! 

The boys also discuss Chelsea's dropped points and Arsenal's victories which see them in 4th place! Maybe they ARE better off without Aubameyang...

Phew. At least we don't have to record this episode again. UEFA cocked up the UCL draw and it had to be redone. Chelsea got Lille again, but Florentino Perez was pissed off! 

In the Premier League, it was penalties galore! United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool all needed penalties to get the victories, and while Arsenal beat Southampton 3-0, all's not well with Aubameyang. 

We also talk about Pique and Aguero retiring, and Aakarsh goes on a special rant about Everton.

All's not well at Everton, with Marcel Brands stepping down, supporters planning a walkout (spoiler alert, it flopped) and 1 win in 10 games (spoiler alert, make that 2 wins in 11!)! But Aakarsh is keeping the blue flag flying high, the picture of optimism that he is. 

The boys discuss West Ham's memorable victory over Chelsea, Lord Divock's clutchness, and Fred ushering in Ralf Rangnick's era with a stunning goal!

Also, much thanks to our donor for the week, Abhishek Panda! There's a steaming hot tribute in there for you buddy!
