  • Episode 118: Shameless Twerking

    Well, Chelsea really did da ting. Champions of Europe in 2021 - a sentence unthinkable to Chelsea fans just 6 months ago, but a well deserved medal for them. As Kai Havertz said post-match, "I don't fucking care, we just won the fucking Champions League". This week we review the final, the line up, and our post-match thoughts on what the result means for both teams. We go on to talk about what we learned from this whole season, not just exclusive to the Champions League, but all-around. Lastly, we wrap up with a quick discussion of the managerial daubchehry that's occurred in the last 2-3 days.

  • Episode 117: Adios, La Liga

    It's been a wild ride in La Liga this season and for the Spanish seasons in Europe. From early and dramatic Champions League ties/heartbreak to Europa League glory, we take a look back at some key moments and focus in on the last two weeks. How exactly did Atletico Madrid get to the title? Have we been too harsh on them? We also go over the changes expected at Barcelona and Real Madrid as well as Luis Enrique's ~questionable~ choices for the Euros this summer.

  • Episode 116: Yes or No?
    Well, the Premier League season is over. The La Liga season is over. This episode, we focus on the Top 4 results from England, a round up from the rest of the big moments and teams from the season (RIP Arsenal, +1 for Leeds). Oh, and those finals called the Europa League and Champions League? Yeah, we go over that too. Don't worry, our La Liga recap is coming tomorrow...

  • Episode 115: This is Too Difficult

    The last Premier League weekend of the season is upon us and, in some ways, good riddance to a season largely without fans, filled with VAR controversies, exhausted players, and Super League drama. We didn't even have much time to get to the La Liga stuff this week, but we DID present our Premier League Team of the Year! Before that though, we go over some of the last remaining question marks around what has yet to be determined in the Top 4 race.

  • Episode 114: It's The Hope That Kills You

    It really is the hope...massive, massive dropped points for Barcelona over their last 3 games while Atletico and Real Madrid continue to pick up points has seen the Catalans virtually all but drop out of the title race. This week in Spain, we go over the games this past weekend where the Top 4 sides all played each other, the mid-week games, and who is most likely (in our humble opinions) to go on and win the La Liga title (spoiler: we don't actually agree on this one).

  • Episode 113: The Seriousness Returns
    Manchester City vs Chelsea, Leicester vs Newcastle, Liverpool & the rest. In that order.
    That's what we cover on this week's podcast as well as Arsenal's woes in the Europa League, West Ham missing a massive opportunity stay in the Top 4 race, and Spurs confirming that they are, in fact, not a Top 4 team.

  • Episode 112: Have You Ever Been Inside A...Turkish Prison?
    Istanbul is next for Chelsea and Manchester City, the second all-English final in the last 2 years, which has to be applauded. This week, we're only doing one podcast with all the footy going on, but we go over both Champions League semi-finals and why the North West Derby didn't happen this past weekend (spoiler: fans mad). In the second half of the pod, we'll preview the biggest weekend in Spain this upcoming weekend too!

  • Episode 111: 48 Years In the Making

    This La Liga season is the first time in 48 years the league has been this tight going into the final stretch of the season. Atletico, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Sevilla are all in contention right now for the league title (all within 3 points of each other). So, this week, we cover where each team sits, and who is most likely to take the crown as well as Villareal's Europa League first leg semi-final win over Arsenal!

  • Episode 110: The Aftermath

    Well, the Super League is dead...for now. This week in England, we go over the aftermath of the Super League's "demise", at least in it's current form, the League Cup Final, and a massive weekend for Chelsea (not so much for Liverpool). Towards the end, it's only fair that we clown all over Arsenal.

  • Episode 109: The Super League

    So much has transpired over the last 3 days, we don't even know where to start. Given how confusing everything with the Super League is, we'll touch on what the Super League actually is, arguments for the Super League from the POV of the 12 clubs, arguments against the Super League from the POV of...everyone, and recent updates to round it out.
