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.

Episode 53: No Dress Rehearsal

gord-downie

Wherein Our Heroes encourage the denizens of Calgary to get out in droves and support Foothills FC in the USL PDL Final. Mark Clattenburg gets an early nod for worst tattoos of the year, Will Ferrell throws his hat in the ring for the Jamie Vardy biopic (long shot), and Zlatan quits Manchester United’s hotel. We are both having more CanCon in MLS. Also, Hull City’s Tigers, a veritable cat of only nine tails, get trolled by their own players. Come on you Hoops!

Episode 40: For Fox Sake!

Posted on by

I_heart_Bratislava

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate the unlikely, yet wholly deserved Premier League Champions, Leicester City F.C. Aston Villa supporter, Tom Hanks, may (or may not) have won himself $730,000 USD, the international media bungle the greatest Cinderella story in the history of sport, and controversial officiating is a storyline at The Theatre of Dreams. Spurs channel “The Crazy Gang”, and Leicester’s habitual starting XI are worth less than Pedro, Hazard, and Raheem Sterling’s legs. Also, internet promises made must be kept. Good luck in Bratislava, @Mark0_dcfc

Episode 38: Holy Toledo!

Posted on by

Toledo

Wherein Our Heroes get behind the need for more friendlies at home in The Great White North. Lescott and Agbonlahor don’t do themselves any favours post-relegation, and the Portland Timbers hire an Ivy League student to help build a champion, Moneyball-style. Jack Wilshere makes the podcast again, for dubious reasons. Controversy ensues in both Orlando and Leicester as questionable officiating results in 2-2 draws. Also, Jamie Vardy may have a future on the Great Britain Diving Team while Andy Carroll’s shoulder can seemingly move mountains.

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.

Wherein Our Heroes drop science on y’all, the Chinese Super League rings in the “Year of the Monkey” with a bang, the Jermaine Pennant and Jamie Vardy biopics gain traction, and John McGrane rrrolls up the rim on the Canadian Premier Soccer League.

Young Gaffers Logo

Wherein Our Heroes bask in the glory of football’s Awards Season. Lionel Messi’s dark brown hair makes him a shoo-in for the Ballon d’Or and Aubameyang’s coif nets him the CAF Player of the Year. Also, Balotelli plays “Piss in Boots”, Liverpool emulates Taylor Swift, and Brad Guzan and Joleon Lescott get chewed out by Aston Villa supporters. Manchester United finally show some impetus to the relief of Paul Scholes.

Episode 23: The Young Gaffers Podcast…You’ve Probably Never Heard of It

Posted on by

Young Gaffers Logo

Wherein Our Heroes roll up their sleeves, pull on their raw Japanese selvedge denim, straighten their bow ties, and debate the efficacy of the Trequartista. Zlatan drops knowledge bombs, Adidas gets all snarky about Manchester United’s style, and we name the definitive “Hipster Starting XI”. Also, Benitez gets sacked, Vardy puts his name in lights, and poor Seamus drinks his own urine – we hear it tastes just like PBR. Oh, and we review some organic, fair-trade, artisanal matches.

Competitive Imbalance in the Premier League – Good Read!

Posted on by

c88K3This week The Gaffers discussed a great article, recently published in The Economist. It was passed on to us by Honorary Gaffer, Dave, who gravitates towards the nerdier side of sports. It is a brave attempt to qualify and quantify the new competitive balance in the Premier League this year. We urge you crazy Gafferinos and Gafferinas to click and give it a perusal:
