Episode 23: The Young Gaffers Podcast…You’ve Probably Never Heard of It

Young Gaffers Logo

Wherein Our Heroes roll up their sleeves, pull on their raw Japanese selvedge denim, straighten their bow ties, and debate the efficacy of the Trequartista. Zlatan drops knowledge bombs, Adidas gets all snarky about Manchester United’s style, and we name the definitive “Hipster Starting XI”. Also, Benitez gets sacked, Vardy puts his name in lights, and poor Seamus drinks his own urine – we hear it tastes just like PBR. Oh, and we review some organic, fair-trade, artisanal matches.

Competitive Imbalance in the Premier League – Good Read!

c88K3This week The Gaffers discussed a great article, recently published in The Economist. It was passed on to us by Honorary Gaffer, Dave, who gravitates towards the nerdier side of sports. It is a brave attempt to qualify and quantify the new competitive balance in the Premier League this year. We urge you crazy Gafferinos and Gafferinas to click and give it a perusal:

Episode 22: Premier League Hanukkah Schedule – It’s Like Buttah!

Premier League Holiday fixtures

Wherein Our Heroes get verklempt over coffee talk. Manchester United and Chelsea…no big whoop. Arsenal have a mixed Holiday Season. Francesco Becchetti dupes…who knew? There are many haircuts to discuss amongst yourselves. Also, Per Mertesacker wipes his shpilkis on an unsuspecting admirer’s genechtagazoink.

Episode 20: The UEFA Champions League – We Fixed It!

Web

Wherein Our Heroes explore why Petr Cech would be moved to eat himself, a star of the Italian Silver Screen rubs up against the business side of football, and Vardy is salty while Mahrez is sweet. We rue the fact that one Monk has no attachments, and Zanetti so easily finds the warm ball. Also, Gazza takes it too far (again) and our hats are off to Ataturk. Tune in next week for our Yuletacular Special!

Coming Soon…“Your Ass Got Saaaaaaaaacked: The Gary Monk Story”

Bj4Ss8uIcAAb0BGWas it the stern demeanor? The lack of top-tier experience? Losing the room? Regardless, us Gaffers are really hoping to see Gary Monk’s rise and fall adapted to either the stage or silver screen. Alan Tudyk (of Dodgeball, A Knight’s Tale, and Assassin Banana fame) would make a great lead, no?

Further casting pending the announcement of Monk’s replacement. Some early ideas:

Gary Sinise as David Moyes

Ben Stiller as Gus Poyet

Christopher Ecclestone as Brendan Rodgers

Episode 19: Herr Postsack Man

WebWherein Our Heroes get all Deutsche up in this Nordecke and pull out their Postsack to answer your burning questions. Der Kraftwürfel shines for Stoke City, Marwin Hitz causes a Modeste miss and the MLS Cup Final is wunderbar! Also, the president of “Le Coq” is not havin’ any sex scandals, Jack Warner plumbs new depths, and Rodney Wallace bobs and weaves his way through a barrage of beer cans all the way to the illustrious “Haircut of the Week” award.

Episode 18: Jamie Vardy! The Dream Begins

WebWherein Our Heroes hope the MLS Cup runneth over, a cast is discussed for Jamie Vardy’s life on celluloid, Manchester United continue to bore, Arsenal’s infirmary continues to burst at the seams, and we are not having Diego Costa’s pathetic attempt at insubordination. Also, Leeds fans are collectively awarded for their trouble obeying the law.

Too much studliness in one photo…

The Gaffers would like to congratulate fellow Mo’ Bro, Fighting Chicken footballer, and all-around great dude Lev (pictured right) for winning our recent E-mail Contest. For submitting his thoughtful questions about Mourinho’s predicament at Chelsea, Lev is now entitled to:

  • One six-pack of beer (*brand and style must be of The Gaffers’ choosing, to be shared equally among the winner and The Gaffers)
  • A meet and greet with The Gaffers (*must be hosted at the winner’s abode)
  • One meal to be consumed together (*must be cooked/procured by the winner)

We look forward to seeing you soon, Lev!

Episode 17: Daniel Sturridge and Jesus Present “You Carried Me”

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by yet another co-host, Fearghal. The fellas play Mourinho for a day, Liverpool and Spurs run rampant, and it’s a nightmare weekend for The Gunners. Toby Alderweireld’s penchant for the wet-hair look helps him rise above, the Los Blancos faithful jeer the fudge out of their star (who wishes to “retire with dignity”), and the MLS may have been underestimated by Stevie and Francis. Also, we make the case to be hired as scribes for the best buddy dramedy to hit the UK airwaves in decades.
