Episode 116: Stone of Destiny

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes come down with a bout of Olympic Fever and reminisce about John Parr’s classic “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”. Antonio Conte distances himself further from Chelsea by heaping praise on a potential replacement and Hope Solo doesn’t mince words when it comes to new USSF President, Carlos Cordeiro. Also, Newcastle United turn in their best team performance of the season as they see off Manchester United in The Toon.

Episode 115: A Rolling Smart Gathers No Moss

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes deliver an episode as interesting and bizarre as Gregory van der Wiel’s inaugural press conference for TFC. The recent match between Spurs and Liverpool delivers two controversial penalty decisions and we enter the fray to offer our expertise and punditry. Also, Antonio Conte may be a dead man walking at Chelsea, but is his squad too thin to fit his long-time vision?

Episode 113: Are You Taking the Wee?!

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes discuss the recent appointment of Phil Neville as manager of England’s women’s team. The Leeds Salute becomes LUFC’s new club crest, and proves extremely divisive. Marco Silva is unceremoniously sacked by Watford – had he become unsettled by Everton’s courtship? Also, a Boro supporter gives new meaning to “taking the piss” at Loftus Road.

Wherein Our Heroes discuss the recent lamentations over the inaction from VAR referee Mike Jones in Chelsea and Norwich’s recent FA Cup match. Chelsea face a potential transfer ban for signing underage players. Orlando City and Beşiktaş are poised to battle over the services of Cyle Larin, and Calgary Foothills F.C. announce Nik Ledgerwood as a massive addition to the club.

Episode 110: Harry Kane Likes to Score

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes are back for 2018 with a new sound courtesy of Calgary-based musician and producer, Franklin D. Spoiler-laden reviews are delivered for both Godless and The Last Jedi. Former WWE superstar, Virgil, has a helluva time posing as Virgil van Dijk on Twitter. Harry Kane sets a goal-scoring record in 2017, but should he focus more on team-based accolades? We also take a look back at the calendar year that was, and some of the more interesting statistics in the Premier League.

Episode 109: Started from the Bottom…

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes continue their run of good Netflix-loving form, procuring some great ideas for shows to watch from Tam. Kim Jong-un is revealed to support not one, but two clubs, but more bizarre is the fact he’s “good friends” with Italian senator Antonio Razzi. Big Sam cancels Everton’s club Christmas party, the Manchester Derby offers up intrigue, drama, and milk, but isn’t as glorious as Canada’s own Toronto FC claiming the crown of MLS Cup Champions.

Episode 108: Toilet Humour

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes revel in the glorious irreverence provided by the football world this week. Carles Puyol is attacked with a sex toy, Lillestrom’s Aleksander Melgalvis Andreassen places his genitals in the recently-won domestic cup in Norway, and a 17-year old Sunderland supporter may or may not have defecated in his seat. He did urinate in his seat, by his own account. Also Shaktar’s gaffer sports a Zorro outfit after a well-fought Champions League victory against the mighty Manchester City and we discover that Adam is a regular Bill Tench.

Episode 107: Boots, Class, and a Little Sass

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes put to bed our infatuation with Stranger Things 2, once and for all. Toronto FC bid to become the first MLS franchise to win the domestic treble, but don’t look all too convincing leading up to the MLS Cup Final. Wayne Rooney scores a cracker from half, Fellaini and Rüdiger suffer from boot problems (with differing attitudes), and Ronaldo gets the bust his handsomeness deserves. Also, inspired by Gareth Bale, we chat about our hypothetical preferred wedding entertainment.

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.
