    "All this tippy tappy stuff everybody keeps going on about as the right way to play football is all a load of bollocks." - Sam Allardyce
    In this week's episode of the The Overlap, we begin our discussion in Spain as Elyas officially denounces Ernesto Valverde, Real Madrid rebounds from the embarrassment in Paris, and Atlético keeps pace at the top. In England, we look back at Liverpool's impressive victory at Stamford Bridge, Spurs disappointingly dropping points again away to Leciester, while Manchester City gave a middle finger to everyone after responding to their loss to Norwich by emotionally pantsing Watford.

  • Episode 13: Equilibrium Has NOT Been Achieved
    “Please do not call me arrogant because what I say is true. I’m European champion. I’m not one out of the bottle, I think I’m a special one.” - Jose Mourinho.
    In this episode of The Overlap, we try to make sense of the most stunning result in of the season so far as Norwich defeats Manchester City, Arsenal's second half collapse at Watford, and comfortable wins for Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Then in Spain, we discuss Atletico's slip up at Real Sociedad, Real Madrid's unconvincing win home to Levante, and Barcelona's newest wonder boy lights up Valencia. Finally, Rheon recaps a very disappointing international break from the USMNT.

    "I've never played for a draw in my life." - Sir Alex Ferguson.
    This week on The Overlap podcast, we look back at the wild North London Derby, Chelsea and Manchester United drop points again, while Liverpool and Manchester City maintain the status quo. In Spain, Barcelona puts forth another disappointing performance without Lionel Messi, Real Madrid is hilariously saved by Gareth Bale, and Atletico Madrid perform a stunning comeback to maintain their perfect start to the season.
