EPB Podcast

With a crazy announcement on Sunday regarding 12 top European teams signing on to a plan to create their own midweek competition that would rival the UEFA Champions League I sit down with @bennettwolin, @jorgioblamo & @ash_aust1n to get reactions and clarification on what this European Super League would mean in the world of Soccer.

Champions League is Back!  Apologies for this episode title's misdirect but there was a brief moment tonight where we came to the mutual conclusion that Serena Williams is the GOAT of all sports goats and thought it necessary to stamp in the the title of the show.  Highlights of tonights episode are as follows: Top games of the week: Tottenham vs Everton Klopp conceding the Prem with 13 games left? Everton have city midweek then Liverpool this weekend, can they stay top 8? Players to highlight: Aubamayang (first hattrick this weekend) Bryan Reynolds (FC Dallas defender transferred for record fee) Neymar (injured at the wrong time again🤦🏽‍♂️ Top UCL games to watch out for: PSGxBARÇA (TOMORROW) Athletico x Chelsea (next week) Atalanta  x Real Madrid (next week) Rb Leipzig x Liverpool (all Liverpool has to play for) Sevilla x Dortmund (probably a good underrated game) Porto x Juve Lazio x Bayern City x Monchengladbach  

Back in 2021 like we never left and with a brand new guest; @doctorJayWest, a Chelsea fan living in San Francisco joins us and gives great insight as we discuss the following topics: Top games of the week:   Tottenham vs Liverpool Leeds vs Leicester   Milan vs Inter Teams making/losing progress: ManU (starting to play well) Chelsea? (New coach/playing style) PSG (New coach) Liverpool (looking dominant again) Players to highlight: N'dombele (been balling) Garreth Bale (time for an MLS move?) Thiago Alcantara (how important is he?) Hot topic:     S hould social platforms do something about racist comments? If so then what? This after Martial, Tuanzebe, Romaine Sawyer and Reece James shared screen shots of monkey emojis and racial abuse this week. Kit Drip Wars: PSGs New Jordan 4th kit vs Club America's new 3rd kit.

  Here's a question for you; Should Lionel Messi continue to be apart of the G.O.A.T. conversation?  @don_ohanian, @jorgioblamo and I give our brief and very unanimous take on that question while also discussing the state the teams we support respectively, what players we would take from Arsenal (if any) and a couple trips down soccer memory lane.  Also, during the second half of tonight's pod, I give my thoughts on the PSG vs Basaksehir situation and the state of racism in the sport of soccer. 

We're back fresh off a 2 week hiatus @iamthomaspierce, @ash_aust1n, @chanogram and I talk premier league for the first half hour - you know the usual; what's wrong with Arsenal, the unsung greatness of Olivier Giroud and the proliferation of Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.  The second half of tonight's podcast focuses on a conversation around the realities of Covid-19.  Thomas and Juan both share personal stories about their own battles with the virus.  Check it out! 

  Tonight's podcast conspicuously lacks the presence of any Arsenal supporters.  After that 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa it's easy to understand why but it still doesn't stop @chanogram_, @vincentiasfilho and I from roasting them.  Tap in as we talk about that and top takeaways from the last week of football.
