Episode 121: Continental Drift

Wherein Our Heroes weigh in on yet more controversy stemming from VAR in multiple MLS games this week. The provincial government in British Columbia declares it will not open the purse strings for the World Cup 2026 bid, pulling the plug on Vancouver as a potential host city. The CONCACAF Champions League grows evermore intriguing as MLS clubs evolve to compete with their Liga MX counterparts. Also, Montréal’s tactics allow them to see off Toronto in the 401 Derby.

Episode 61: Joey Bada$$

Wherein Our Heroes are simply shocked at the omission of Iceland and the Viking Clap from FIFA 17. We carefully appraise the merits of gaffers singling out their players in the media and aren’t havin’ it. Manchester United’s woes continue; is it the low work rate, players in unfamiliar roles, or blind devotion to aging stars? Landon Donovan is the next to live “The Great American Sports Comeback”. Also, Joey Barton FINALLY wins his eponymous award and joins the ranks of “The Joseph Anthony Barton Highfaluting Gentlemen’s Club”.

Young Gaffers at The Ship and Anchor!!!!!!!

TYG-LivePodcast_20160626_Poster-noBleedFor years, we and many footy fans in Alberta have known that there is nary a better place to watch a match than Calgary’s own Ship and Anchor Pub. We are extremely stoked to say we’ll be there this coming Sunday, June 26th, to catch the Euro Round of 16 action and record some streeter interviews with you. We’ve spent many mornings and afternoons watching Prem, World Cup, Euro, and Champions League matches at our favourite place in town, and we want to hear what you think of the Euros so far! See you this weekend, Calgary!

Episode 17: Daniel Sturridge and Jesus Present “You Carried Me”

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by yet another co-host, Fearghal. The fellas play Mourinho for a day, Liverpool and Spurs run rampant, and it’s a nightmare weekend for The Gunners. Toby Alderweireld’s penchant for the wet-hair look helps him rise above, the Los Blancos faithful jeer the fudge out of their star (who wishes to “retire with dignity”), and the MLS may have been underestimated by Stevie and Francis. Also, we make the case to be hired as scribes for the best buddy dramedy to hit the UK airwaves in decades.

Episode 16: A Roundtable with Brendan (Rodgers?)

BrendanWherein 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.
