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?

Back with the first podcast after my trip to Qatar for the World Cup and that is the topic of conversation today as @jorgioblamo , @theleandre, @emmo_l and I just finished watching the final before recording this episode.

Should that first PK have been given? We slow down some video footage, so you tell us. we finish off putting together a World Cup XI starting team that is pretty interesting.
