Episode 105: Too Soon, Bruce

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate both of us having finally completed Stranger Things 2. A double dose of updates are provided, with Patrice Evra on the sidelines until next season, and Social Cut and Shave’s Ed offering up some sage wisdom in the Chelsea Barber Saga – London Crop to follow. Daniele De Rossi gets insubordinate as Italy crash out of Russia 2018, and we love it. We are not havin’ U.S. Soccer’s potentially proposed “Participant Cup”. Also, Bruce Arena pulls a gutsy stint on Fox Sports 1, offering up punditry on his former cadre so soon after cataclysmic failure.

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

Posted on by

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 86: Trouble and Strife

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate the upcoming Calgary Foothills F.C. PDL season, mourn the loss of Ugo Ehiogu, and bestow upon Joey Barton an esteemed Joey Barton Award. Viewer feedback on the use of the spidercam in the Manchester Derby is scathing, Jamie Vardy must fend off real foxes, and Héctor Bellerín sports one of the worst haircuts (barnets) ever. Also, Providence Park is earmarked for a sexy expansion and a cockney rhyming slang quiz is failed miserably.

John Terry’s next move is discussed, Mesut Özil’s status as the best playmaker in the Premier League is contested, and the MLS Cup Final is previewed.
