Episode 100: USMNT Crash Out, The Gaffers Turn 100, Coincidence?

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by Paulie, better known as Bad MLS Comics. Collectively, we discuss Paulie’s witty artwork, barn quilts and Canadian pop culture. Also, Wayne Rooney begins his community service at a local garden centre. Mostly, we lament the assured absence of the United States at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Episode 98: Wayne Rooney, Husband of The Year

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes reconvene with a vengeance after a month-long hiatus. We respond to our listeners’ requests to weigh in on both the Red Green Show and the summer transfer market. Toronto FC sits on the edge of glory, Lukaku asks Manchester United supporters to stop singing about his member, and Rio Ferdinand continues to take steps to become the world’s next pugilism specialist. Also, Neymar and Cavani seem to have worked it out, for now. Our Nickname For Areola Contest is now officially open!

Episode 97: New Taylor Swift Album, Reputation (out November 10)

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes shamelessly attempt to piggyback on Taylor Swift’s recent album announcement. Bad MLS Comics shares his most interesting stadium nosh while Brendan asks us to weigh in on the recent lawsuit filed by Barcelona against Neymar. A travelling Walsall supporter receives a surprise upon arrival to his hotel before the match versus Pompey, while Nicolai Müller’s knee buckles under the weight of a goal celebration in Germany. The Aaron Ramsey Curse strikes again, Wayne Rooney retires from international duty, and Jason recounts a world-class experience at a recent Vancouver Whitecaps match.

Episode 96: Nemanja Matić is #bae

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes examine the cost of pints and pies at each Premier League ground, and find most clubs are woke. Chelsea have no chill on opening day, while Manchester United are in beast mode. Sheffield United and Middlesbrough supporters leave us salty. Respeck #blessed

Oh, and Neymar breaks the bank.

Episode 93: Adam and Jason’s Summer Vacation

Posted on by

 

Wherein Our Heroes analyze Wayne Rooney’s move to Everton as well as Chelsea’s recent signings in the transfer market. Antonio Cassano does a retirement about-face, the MLS All-Star jersey leaves us wanting, and Canada has thoroughly impressed in the Gold Cup. Also, get thee to the cinema and watch The Big Sick and Baby Driver as soon as possible…both are Gaffer Approved.

Episode 92: There’s Always Room for Jell-O Shots

Posted on by

 

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate F.C. Crotone gaffer, Davide Nicola, upon completion of his cross-country Italian cycling odyssey. Federico Allende brag about stabbing opposing Estudiantes players with a needle, and earns our Best Barton Ever. We disagree on Ifab’s recent proposal to change half lengths to 30 minutes. Adam recounts his recent Calgary Foothills F.C. match-day experience, with special thanks to The Ship & Anchor. Also, we basically love Jell-O shots so much we just can’t even.

Episode 91: Matters of the Angie Everhart

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes discuss potential preliminary transfer predictions, weigh in on the Diego Costa/ Antonio Conte saga, and award Michael Bradley the most aerodynamic Haircut of the Week in the history of Gafferdom (both for his coif and laser-like chip). We lament the occasional incursion of politics into sport, reminisce about the Drambuie Showcase Revue, and advise how Calgarians can get behind their Hoops, Foothills F.C. Also, Samuel Piette is apparently responsible for most of the attendees at the latest Canadian Men’s friendly in Montreal.
