EPB Podcast

Back in the Studio with our favorite Real Madrid fan @theleandre and @ash_aust1n the cautiously optimistic Arsenal supporter.  We start this week's podcast with an extensive discussion around Chelsea FC, analyzing their current roster and table position compared to the absurd amount of money they're spending.  Taking a look at some of the best games from the past week including El Clasico, the Manchester and North London derbies.  A lot of banter and hot takes in this one including my favorite question this week: Will Bukayo Saka's career follow the same trajectory as Raheem Sterling's? And is it a bad thing if true?  

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  

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.

Today's podcast title is a bit misleading.  We probably talk about Dele Alli for all of 5 minutes but it should serve as a notice that we really do not see a future for him at Spurs and we would really like to see him land on a team that can actually benefit from his skillset.  On today's episode we focus on voting for the first half as it is one day before the 2020 presidential election.  And for the second half of this podcast we discuss key takeaways from Arsenal vs. Manchester United, the state of two Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona and the hilarious video of Thierry Henry coaching that is going viral. 

Champions League is back and we have a question... Is Zidane anything without Cristiano?  Tonight we discuss other Champions League reactions, Callum Hudson-Odoi's new $150k contract at Chelsea while Pulisic gets no PT, Barcelona's best 11, and the best streaming service to watch games in the US. You're now tuned in. Open Audio In New Window

Mourinho sacked, Pogba's back! Will Man United become the all-star video game team we expected them to be two years ago?  We dive into that immediately after the first ten minutes of discussing Travis Scott's recent inclusion in the next Superbowl half time show.  Other Highlights include champions league draw predictions, balon d'or reactions and, my favorite, "A Decade of Ronnie" a segment examining the different stages of Cristiano Ronaldo's playing style and prowess at multiple clubs over the years.  Check us out here  

The title of this episode is admittedly misleading.  We touch on soccer news around the world for 95% of this cast.  That said we do have a few thoughts on Kanye at the top of the show and, unfortunately, that person who elevated my love of music with his Late Registration album in 2005 can no longer garner my attention.  In fact, I'm resolved to never listen to this man's music again. (and that's before I heard Drake's comments on the latest episode of HBO's The Shop). Other Highlights include: • Anthony Martial's €10 million Come up • US Men's Soccer's Progress...? • International Break-Down... See what I did there? Ep. 35 Here

This is our first live cast during the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final!  fair warning, @jnogueradevers @jay_jay_210 and I can't contain our excitement or volume levels during some of the most intense moments of the game.  It's definitely safe to say this was a soccer game to remember.  Jump in and relive it live with us  Episode 27
