Episode 117: FA Cup Bracket, Buster!

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes proudly acknowledge their membership in The Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. Four West Brom players decide to “borrow” a taxi during a sojourn in Barcelona, much to the chagrin of Alan Pardew and the local authorities. Wigan monumentally slay the giant that is Manchester City in fifth round FA Cup play and one costly mistake robs Chelsea of victory against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Also, we just want you to listen to us the way Tessa Virtue looks at Scott Moir.

Episode 114: State of the Union

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate David Beckham’s efforts in finally being awarded an MLS franchise in Miami. Leroy Sané is set to miss 11 matches after being on the receiving end of a horror challenge against Cardiff in the FA Cup, and the debate for player protection rages on. Also, Antonio Conte is one of many managers who have little say in player moves, and The Gaffers aren’t having it.

Episode 75: Diamonds are a Guy’s Best Friend

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by Luke from Omaha to delve into the recent changes to Chinese Super League rules regarding foreign players. Dimitri Payet is ostracized at West Ham and must now create a splinter WhatsApp Group, Wayne Rooney is given kudos for a cracker of a milestone, and Spurs rally to steal a point against Manchester City. Also, we share our idiosyncrasies in light of Ashley Young’s recent revelation…the lad’s got some straight up wacked eating habits.

Posted on by

sheena-standard-2-596x401

Wherein Our Heroes make your ears feel just right through sweet podcast poetry. FIFA opens disciplinary action against the FA’s of England and Scotland for donning “political” symbols, while the World Football Museum in Zürich struggles for attendees. Super sub Olivier Giroud’s mane finally gets the recognition it deserves, Yaya Touré bags a brace for Manchester City after months away from the pitch, and a trifecta of England players get up to no good during the International Break. Also, we gear up for the MLS Conference Finals. Awe yeahhhhhhhh…

Episode 60: When you gonna give me some time, Rabona?

Posted on by

rabona

Wherein Our Heroes delve into the mailbag and produce a glorious rant of epic proportions from Brendan. Benito Floro and Canada Soccer decide to consciously uncouple, we wonder if Canadian players are getting their fair shake in the MLS, and London Stadium sees trouble both on and off the pitch (Payet’s Rabona notwithstanding). Also, José Mourinho yet again fails to pip Pep.

Episode 56: The Young Gaffers Premier League Preview…a Hot Soupy Mess

Posted on by

Prem

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by guests Joe and Greg to wax philosophical on the Premier League season to be. Together, we engage in the most profound punditry in the Northern Hemisphere, including but not limited to, our top 7/8 picks in the table, Pep Guardiola’s first season in England, where Leicester might finish, whether or not Paul Pogba is worth his transfer fee, and Big Sam’s propensity for steering England to glory. Also, we drink a LOT.

Chad Marshall pleads to the football gods during the Cascadia Derby between Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Chad Marshall pleads to the football gods while Stefan Frei is attacked by a bumblebee during the Cascadia derby between Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Wherein Our Heroes get stoked on the Canada men’s national soccer team roster, praise Gigi Buffon for over 15 hours without conceding a goal, and reminisce about mid-90’s UK soft rock. Derby matches abound as Rashford continues his torrid pace, a Newcastle fan botches the hug of his life, and Vancouver takes the first Cascadia match of the season. Also, Jurgen panders, Shuttleworth’s mane stops penalties for New England, and we are not having Mix Diskerud as the most overrated player in MLS.

Episode 31: Double-Double

Posted on by

4443761354_4de3254c71

Wherein Our Heroes offer twice the righteousness in several cases: Steven Gerrard gets a biopic and joins the Telegraph, Caballero and Rashford garner fanfare for their coifs (or lack thereof), and Neapolitan robbers and El Hadji Diouf etch their names in the annals of unsavoury eternity. Van Gaal takes a dive as Manchester United beat Arsenal, Wenger makes excuses, and the Capital One Cup Final is an electrifying affair. Also, why are so many goalkeepers both American and bald?

Posted on by

topgun-kilmer-bite

Wherein Our Heroes rev up their engines and award a rare Joey Barton treble, Manuel Pellegrini fields a bunch of debutantes, and Chelsea shoves it into overdrive. Also, the Canadian women qualify for Rio 2016, Herculez Gomez thinks MLS clubs are like ‘metal under tension’ against Liga MX in the CONCACAF Champions League, and Maverick requests a fly-by.
