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?

Wherein Our Heroes gorge on Russian Pelmeni in the company of contest-winner and all-around great guy, Lev. Adebayor and Pato are among several notable transfers discussed, we are sort of havin’ public funding for new stadia, and we debate the impact of potential transfer bans at Real and Atlético Madrid. Also, in case we are ever called upon, we pledge national allegiances. Na zdoróvye!

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.

Posted on by

Web

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.

Posted on by

Web

The clock hath struck midnight on the MLS regular season and only 12 clubs have survived the bloodbath. Our Heroes provide their ghoulish predictions on who will come out alive and who will be dragged to the fiery depths of hell. Will Sporting Kansas City transform when the moon is full? Will Mauro Biello’s unnatural creation come to life at Saputo? Will Carl Robinson’s children of the night feast on the souls of the living? The Young Gaffers answer all of these questions and more on this most devilish 13th episode. Also, we answer fan mail from Amy.
