An irreverent look at the beautiful game
Was it the stern demeanor? The lack of top-tier experience? Losing the room? Regardless, us Gaffers are really hoping to see Gary Monk’s rise and fall adapted to either the stage or silver screen. Alan Tudyk (of Dodgeball, A Knight’s Tale, and Assassin Banana fame) would make a great lead, no?
Further casting pending the announcement of Monk’s replacement. Some early ideas:
Gary Sinise as David Moyes
Ben Stiller as Gus Poyet
Christopher Ecclestone as Brendan Rodgers
Wherein Our Heroes are joined by their first-ever guest host, who struggles with The Gaffers’ creed. Formations are obsessed over, Euro 2016 dark horses are released from their barns, and the lads take a pretend gamble on Ronaldinho. Dimitri Payet, Olivier Giroud, and Christian Eriksen are lauded for their performances this season, while Sunderland and Villa are in tough. Also, Brendan is subjected to the dreaded Lightning Round of Awesomeness.

Wherein Our Heroes adjudge themselves to be desolate after the last round of the MLS playoffs. Jamie Vardy is the slyest of Foxes (not to be Ruud), Brendan Rodgers hops The Tube, and Rooney’s slaps are better than his finishing. Also, Stoic Loic Remy receives a huzzah for not going to ground, Jeb Brovsky rocks a modern-day Errol Flynn look, and a Costa Rican referee gets the heave-ho from CONCACAF. Jason recounts his recent experience in Vancouver, and The Gaffers weigh in on MLS and BPL before the international break.
