Weekend Review! Man City's latest silverware, Chelsea's lack of flair and Chicharito's three-goal affair! Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

Ryan, Taylor and Graham convene for a look back at the weekend that was!

- West Ham vs Chelsea: The Blues dealt a crucial blow to David Moyes in the battle for fourth place with their ‘professional’ (read: ‘slightly boring’) style!

- Leeds vs Man Utd: It was honors even at Elland Road, where Marcelo Bielsa appears to have adapted his style to face the big boys.

- Manchester City vs Tottenham: The Spurs trophy cabinet will continue to collect dust as Man City pull off the biggest 1-0 thrashing in the history of the game!

- LA Galaxy vs. NY Red Bulls: Another MLS match day, another five-goal thriller! Defending was optional in a fantastically entertaining match in Carson, CA.

Weekend Review! European Super League drama, Mourinho gets the boot, MLS returns & Messi wins another cup! Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Ryan, Taylor and Graham are here to discuss the weekend’s best action—and the story that could redefine the sport: the announcement of the breakaway European Super League.

- The European Super League! A fundamental and seismic change to the sport at its highest level might be on the cards, with the announcement of a breakaway league. What does this mean for the teams involved, the players, and the sporting integrity of the beautiful game as a whole?

- Jose Mourinho! The Special One was given his marching orders on Monday, a matter of days before the League Cup Final. Seems harsh, but there's a (cynical) reason for the timing...

- Chelsea vs. Man City: The FA Cup! How quaint! We look at how Tommy Tuchel got the better of Pep Guardiola at Wembley!

- Barcelona vs. Athletic Club: Lionel Messi got his hands on the (massive) Cope Del Rey trophy once again, at poor Bilbao's expense.

- Inter Miami vs. LA Galaxy: The pick of the MLS litter on opening weekend was a thoroughly enjoyable affair in Fort Lauderdale!

Matt Doyle discusses the start of the 2021 MLS season: what makes Jim Curtin such a good coach, how Minnesota United can win the west, Bobby Wood's arrival at Real Salt Lake, and much much more! Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

The Armchair Analyst himself is on the pod to discuss mezcal cocktails and cat ownership... and also the start of the 2021 MLS season. If you missed the chat with Sam Stejskal earlier in the week, scroll down the feed a bit and you'll find it.

In this episode, we get into some of the teams that Sam and I didn't get to, including Toronto, Minnesota, Sporting KC, Orlando City, and many more. Plus. the deepest teams in the league and the current state NYCFC, who definitely aren't on the "deepest teams" list right now.
