Kiran hosts today and finally introduces himself as such. Matt Kaz, Gooner and creator of the legendary CHiP the Keeper intro fills in for a strangely absent Chris despite this being the first week United did something by deleeding Bielsa's men. And since Chris isn't here, we don't talk about them at all for the first time in pod history and instead spend like 35 perfectly good minutes blathering on about Arsenal and whether they suck a lot or just a little... or maybe don't suck at all?? Speaking of suck a lot or a little or not at all, not even Kaz can deny Harry Kane's masterclass against the Bald Fraud's Pityzens to orchestrate the immaculate conception of a title race which, until now, only existed in Pranav's wet dreams. And of course, we cannot move on from the Premier League without addressing an all time PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD: 7 touches in an entire match by the world's most expensive lawn gnome, Lakaka. Atleti and Barca are put under a microscope as we examine their even table standing before focusing in on Aubameyang doing his best competent striker impression and dropping a hatty on Valencia. The Serie A title race seems to be ending up rather similarly to the Prem's top 4 race as all 3 teams in contention make seemingly conscious decisions not to win. We pretend to care about Serie A before pretty much completely skipping over the Bundesliga and moving on to Champions League where Kiran has to face his weekly allotted time as the court jester for his predictions. The boys then give their predictions for the weeks upcoming UCL and Prem fixtures as Pranav and Hunter are both convinced they'll lose the Mickey Mouse Cup final to make themselves feel better for actually losing it.

Notably absent from the pod: Chris Wood meowing at Kurt Zouma for the duration of that match
