The Overlap

El Clasico. The most famous rivalry of all time in football. And boy was it a tough watch if you're a Barcelona fan. Unable to make it 5 wins in a row against Real Madrid, a feat last accomplished during the 2008-2009 period, Barcelona lost 2-1 to go 5 points behind Madrid in the La Liga table.

But, this isn't the end of their issues. On this week's episode, we go into the details that led to their loss.

We've been off the air for a few weeks, but have no fear! We're back talking about the potential turning of the tide for Manchester United, how Liverpool can get out of this losing streak (at the time of recording), and some of our key observations from around Europe! Shoutout Haaland and Harry Kane.

The most goals in a La Liga Madrid Derby in decades. The famous "manita". Are Atletico back? Are Real Madrid weaker than we actually thought after remaining undefeated so far this season?

Probably the most entertaining Madrid Derby we've experienced in a decade and so much to unpack this week! Plus, we dive into Rheon's thoughts on the USMNT and some of the recent results in the Premier League.

Well, this week's game of the weekend (Arsenal vs Liverpool) was...a snoozefest? Under 1 xG for each side, no passes into the opposition box for Arsenal, but one magical freekick separated the two sides.

We break down everything (there's not much, don't worry) that happened in this match along with our observations from around the league on deadline day!

The 2025-2026 season is officially upon us! Crazy to think that we've been doing the pod for over 6 years now...

We're introducing a slightly new format this season: a match of the weekend where we go more in depth and a bunch of quick hits and observations from the rest of the weekend's games. First up: Manchester City vs Spurs, a tale as old as time.

What do we even make of Spurs, extremely polarizing season? Well, to get an expert opinion, we got our friend Des to give his thoughts on a season which saw Spurs win their first major trophy in 17 years while also finishing, ironically, 17th in the Premier League.

We go through Des's grades for the team, ex-manager Ange Postecoglou, and his expectations for the team based on this summer's transfer window.

This week on the summer series - Chelsea! Of course, we had to invite our good friend, Peter, onto the pod to get his thoughts on the club's season. From a potential title run up through Christmas, to finishing as Conference League and Club World Cup champions, there were many ups and downs.

We break them all down this week!

On this week's episode of the Summer Series, we're joined by a very special guest - an expert in his own right...Rheon's dad! We talk all things Manchester City, from the lowest of lows that this team hit in the fall to the, well, not quite highest of high's, but something that resembled more of a competitive team by the end of the season. We're just going to ignore the Club World Cup exit...except we're not.

For episode 250, we're kicking of the 2025 summer series reviewing a few of last season's teams that drew a lot of attention for either their growth or decline!

First up on the list, the might Arsenal - defeating Real Madrid, losing to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, and watching their Premier League season quickly slip away in the second half of the season...there's a lot to discuss with Arsenal. So, we invited our closest Arsenal-supporting friends, Jay and Sebi, to join us for the conversation!

With the summer in full swing, the mood in European football can only be described as...chirpy. No, wait...that's the USMNT.

On this week's episode, we discuss the start of the Club World Cup, the ongoing saga with Christian Pulisic and the USMNT, and some of the latest transfer news!
