Episode 11: Yours Trulies

Posted on by

WebWherein Our Heroes dish out a veritable footballing feast of autumnal profundity. The British press falls for Jurgen Klopp (Haircut of the Week recipient) like newly changed oak leaves in the October breeze, we’re havin’ Don Garber’s vision like decorative gourds on a bountiful table, and Blatter, Valcke and Platini reap what they sow. Also, international injuries runneth over like a Horn ‘o’ plenty and the Canadian Soccer Association schedules a mid-week turkey.

The Gaffers believe that irreverence can often be used to raise awareness of, and shine a light on, serious issues. Gafferdom carries with it a massive responsibility. This video was sent to us by a loyal and righteous Gafferino, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t share. It comes on the heels of the fantastic news that the FIFA Ethics Committee has announced the provisional suspension of Messrs. Blatter, Valcke, and Platini.

Wherein Our Heroes lube themselves in irreverence and slide into goings on with Brendan Rodgers, José Mourinho, and Manchester United’s tactical woes. Arsenal won’t let their partner finish, Aguero bags five in one day, and the MLS nears its trembling climax. Also, John Terry nets a Tesco gift card for malodorous parking practices.

Yes, we compared the first 20 minutes of “United Passions” to a Canadian Heritage Minute. But don’t take our word for it, see for yourself! And if you just can’t get enough, visit Historica Canada and let the Canadiana wash over you like so much sweet, sweet maple syrup.
