In this special throwback Set Piece from last season Neal and Jon created a combined XI for the Champions League Final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
On the latest episode of Captain's Quarters, El Capitan discussed all things Women's World Cup. He went into detail about what happened with the Moroccan captain he discussed the Nigerian upset over Australia and also talked about his issues with the US women's national team and their lack of substitutions against another the Netherlands.
JESSY'S COME HOME!
You read that right: the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch is delighted to announce that our beloved Jessy has made her triumphant return to The Banter Pub FC; reclaiming her time, word to Maxine Waters. We could not be more delighted to share this episode with you all, one of many from a deep backlog inside the BPFC Time Capsule.
Originally recorded on 16 March 2022, this episode features El Capitan Neal, Ama, Jessy, and Joseph diving into a smorgasbord of football; starting with recapping all of the drama in all of our fave domestic leagues in Around The Pitch. The Main Segment sees the fearsome foursome review the UEFA Champions League and Europa League fixtures in their trademark style. Finally, we wrap with Extra Time; where the hosts speak candidly about whatever was on their minds that week.
Don't delay! Press play! Get your life!
The Pub Awaits...
When we move, you move. Just like that.
When we move, you move. Just like that?
When we move, you move. Just like that?!
Hell yeah! Aye, hot takes! Bring that back!
Yep, dun know already what it is: the gahtdamn reason you're in VIP, it's the World's Greatest Podcast™©® The Banter Pub FC; back with another - yes, another - Friendsgiving-sized serving of that BPFC Time Capsule goodness to fill you up right. Hope you made room, sweetness.
Recorded 10 March 2022, The Pub's alleged "favourite host" and International Playboy & Man of Mystery himself Jonathan commandeers the mic this week: with El Capitan Neal, Jonathan, and, much later, Joseph making up the rest of Jonathan's crew of podcasting pirates. We set sail on a course to go Around the Pitch first, where MLS, Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and Premier League, the Manchester Derby most notably. The Main Segment is nothing but choppy waters. Fair warning: the lads all go in hot regarding the reports of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned and how it affected Chelsea Football Club at the time. Amid the revelling in the schadenfreude, the boys all get real with what the future of the club is ensnared in at that present time. Each of the boys goes hell for leather, airing out every ounce of emotion and leaving no stone unturned.
Finally, we wrap with Extra Time. You know the deal: sixty seconds and we're gone like the Fast & Furious.
There's so much more to give you, Jesus wept. How much more? You'll see. No hints. No telling. No competition.
The Pub Awaits...
Epic tings a gwan this week when the Father of All Fathers comes through to lead the BPFC line.
Yep, dun know already what it is. Can't stop, won't stop, it's the World's Greatest Podcast™©® The Banter Pub FC; back with more of that BPFC Time Capsule goodness for you all to feast on.
Recorded 3 March 2022, The Pub's incomparable big man on campus Ama is your emcee this week: with El Capitan Neal, Jonathan, and Joseph making up the rest of the esteemed entourage and inner circle. The title of the episode should've given it away because Around The Pitch is nothing short of epic this week from MLS, Serie A, Coppa Italia, Premier League, the Bundesliga, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, and Ligue 1. The Main Segment is an aural adventure in its own right; starting with commentary about Roman Abramovich's decision to sell Chelsea Football Club in the wake of Russia's decision to invade and attack Ukraine. We segue into Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic all refusing to play against Russia in the respective World Cup Qualifiers because of the invasion as well as analysing FIFA's clumsy handling of the situation; first suspending Russia before eventually ejecting Russia from World Cup Qualifying altogether and critiquing EA Sports decision to remove the Russian National team and all Russian Premier League football clubs from its FIFA video game franchise.
Finally, we wrap with Extra Time. You know the drill: sixty seconds, all heart.
Simply put: there's plenty more where that came from. We da best, no DJ Khalid.

Back at it again like that one kid with the white Vans, it's the Wooooooooooorld's Greatest Podcast™©®! Too f*ck*ng right, it's The Banter Pub FC; the gold standard in football commentary; the spiciest team in the game with the sauciest takes on the pitch. It's another day so you know what that means: another episode in the BPFC Time Capsule to drop on that head top.
Recorded 24 February 2022, The Pub's beloved prodigal son Adam is your host with the most this episode; with El Capitan Neal, Ama, and Joseph providing backup vocals while Adam assumes the role of lead singer and busts out the tunes to make your significant another swoon. It's nothing but the hits as the lads launch straight into Around The Pitch, covering all kinds of European domestic action from Serie A to the Premier League; the Bundesliga to La Liga; Ligue 1; and European continental competition (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Europa Conference League). The Main Segment sees the troupe tearing into the news of the USWNT settling their lawsuit against US Soccer for $24 million and what their respective takes on it were, such as what does this mean going forward for Equal Pay and future generations of female footballing talent. Finally, we wrap with Extra Time. You know the law: sixty seconds, all killer, no filler.
It's a wonderful day in the neighbourhood, a beautiful day in the neighbourhood, won't you be ours? Could you be ours?
The Pub Awaits...
Upsets. Upsets everywhere. That's the theme of this week's episode!
We're unloading another episode at you from the container that is it's the m*th*rf*ck*ng World's Greatest Podcast™©® The Banter Pub FC Time Capsule. Yes, the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch is back again to deliver unto thy keen ears the takes that only BPFC can produce.
Recorded 17 February 2022, The Pub's resident amateur footballer in Joseph is given the hosting reins this week, with El Capitan Neal, Jonathan, and The Pub's resident Grandmaster Flash in Rosler filling out the rest of the team sheet. Around The Pitch sees rousing discussion of certain FA Cup Shenanigans, the Bundesliga, Serie A, and European continental competition (Champions League, Europa League, and a notable Europa Conference League result respectively) results before punching it and zooming into the Main Segment. This week, the lads chat about Gianni Infantino's baffling [yet predictable] reasoning as to what the alleged benefits of hosting the World Cup every two years instead of quadrennially are. Additionally, the boys chastise a pair of German soccer coaches banned for using fraudulent vaccine passes. Football can really be an idiocracy sometimes, word to Mike Judge. Finally, the mandem muse over what moved them personally in Extra Time. Sixty seconds or less, you know how the ting go.
There's still so much more to go before this BPFC Time Capsule is empty. Stay tuned. You're gonna like what you hear. We guarantee it.
The Pub Awaits...
Football has more than one royal family.
Ya dun know who that is! It's the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch, goddammit. The World's Greatest Podcast™©®, the sinister septuplet your significant other warned you about, the very best that no one ever was (word to Ash from Pokémon), The Banter Pub FC is back with another episode fresh out of the BFPC Time Capsule.
See? Told you we're steady grinding. Don't watch that, cuz.
Anyway, the episode. Recorded 27 January 2022, The Father of All Fathers Ama is lord of the manor this week with El Capitan Neal, Adam, Rosler, and Joseph filling out the rest of the distinguished delegates at the banquet table. Mixing it up this week, it's not Around The Pitch but AFCON The Pitch; where our heroes dive right into the glory that is the African Cup of Nations while domestic campaigns are suspended due to the international break. Before getting into the action, The Pub sent its sincere condolences and sympathies to those affected by the crush in Yaoundé that regrettably killed eight people. After that moment of reflection, the lads dug right into the astounding results from Tunisia knocking Nigeria out; Cameroon humbling Comoros (but not before Comoros produced one of the finest goals in tournament history); Morocco breaking Malawian hearts, and The Gambia continuing their AFCON fairy-tale by dispatching Guinea. Three matches went to penalties, and Senegal v. Cape Verde was a sending-off fest... you're going to love this week's AFCON-flavoured edition of Around The Pitch.
The Main Segment is another Transfer Tease where big moves and rumoured big moves are analysed down to the final signature. The episode wraps with Extra Time. You know the deal: sixty seconds. All heart. All passion. No filler.
You should get more snacks if you haven't already because... tuh. Baby. This BPFC time capsule? Sweetie, it's FULL.
You love it tho.
The Pub Awaits...
Yeah, baby. We know you like it extra spicy. We know you want it muy caliente.
Well, you're in luck. It just so happens that The World's Greatest Podcast™©® is the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch; back with another batch of aural gorgeousness. Oh, you didn't know? Then yo' ass better caaaaaaaaall someboooooodaaaaaaaaaaa-
*ahem*. Anyway, where were we? Right, right. Football. BPFC Time Capsule. Cool, cool.
Recorded 20 January 2022, El Capitan Neal is back in the driver's seat this week with Ama riding shotgun, Jonathan with the aux cable, Rosler calling out directions, and Joseph texting on his phone. We do the rounds. Geddit? Because the segment is called... Around The Pitch. See? Geddit? No? Well, damn. Tough crowd. In any regard, Around the Pitch consists of plenty of juicy chatter around action in Ligue 1, La Liga, Premier League, EFL Cup, Bundesliga, Serie A, and finally a generous heaping of delicious AFCON content; complete with reactions to results and looking ahead to the Round of Sixteen. The Main Segment introduces El Capitan's latest brainchild of a segment called the Transfer Tease (which is fitting, and we don't need to say why do we?), where your boys dive into some of the strongest rumours of big-time ballers switching [or not switching] allegiances. The mandem wrap with the goodness: Extra Time. Sixty seconds. Lend us your ears.
Get comfortable and make room. There's plenty more for that ass where that came from.
The Pub Awaits...
Did you miss us?
Oh, who are we kidding? OF COURSE, YOU MISSED US. Bet you thought we were done out here, ha? Bet you thought we weren't staying low and building, ha? Bet you thought we disbanded, ha? Bet you thought we weren't for real when we said we're a goddamn family out here, ha? Don't get us wrong... we're still paper chasing. We're also the sinister septuplet podcasting arsonists keeping the block on fire. That's right. Forever remaining the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch until the moment we expire. You know what it is: making nothing out of something, handling biz, and don't be cryin' and sufferin'.

It's been a while, huh?! Yeah, life has been lifin' here at The Pub but we've never stopped creating content about the Beautiful Game for your beautiful people. This Set Piece is no exception. As you'll soon discover when we finally open yet another BPFC Time Capsule, our beloved Jessy - making her hosting debut for BPFC shortly after making her triumphant return to the BPFC fold - leads the charge with El Capitan and Ama as they discuss who they think will be the victors when Arsenal and Manchester United face off on Saturday (read: 23 April 2022) morning. Everything gets discussed from the club's respective predicaments to the creation of a combined Arsenal/Man Utd XI.
So pull up, press play, and get down with the get down.

Gahtdamn, we feel amazing and we're nowhere near The Matrix! It's the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch: the one and only, oft-imitated, never duplicated... The Banter Pub FC, baybeeeeee! Good news: we have yet another scintillating instalment in our latest mini-series For Africans Only, covering all things African Cup of Nations. Bad news? It's the last one in this edition of the series because unfortunately, the tournament drew to a close on Sunday, 6 February 2022. Don't fret, though! Yer boys are on the case, as per usual! Joining the host with the most Jonathan in this smashing FAO finale are Ama, El Capitan Neal, Rosler (on the decks), and Joseph; waxing lyrical about the final between Senegal and Egypt and the dramatic encounter for 3rd-place between host nation Cameroon and Burkina Faso.
We here at The Pub want to thank everyone that has listened to each episode of For Africans Only. We had a blast putting these together and talking about the world's true best top-flight international competition: the CAF African Cup of Nations. Thank you to all the players, the organisers, the coaching and medical staff, and passionate fans for making this AFCON a deeply memorable spectacle.
We'll see you in 2023 when FAO returns. Until then? Press play and reminisce with your faves.

And oh buddy, do we have a special episode for you this week (recorded 6 January 2021). Ya boys at The Pub took some time to review the last calendar year in football and thought it'd be a lot of fun to award choice moments and people after a group vote/consensus. And lo, The Pubbies were born! This new inaugural event takes the entire calendar year of association football around the world's major leagues and sifts through the best (and the worst) before awarding them with the gong for their respective category! Hosts Ama, El Capitan Neal, Rosler, Jonathan, and Joseph take turns deliberating the nominees for Underperforming Player, Most Unappreciated Player, Best Manager, Biggest Racismo, Most Improved Player, Most Improved Team, Best Goal, Most Overrated Club, the prestigious Puballon d'Or (best overall player, regardless of league, gender et al), Best Kit, and Most Impactful Transfer before ultimately deciding a winner for each given grouping.
The lads wrap up by cruising through the Host Awards, a cheeky few nods to the moments only The Banter Pub's wonderous masters of ceremonies could bring you before firing through the 2021 Dishonourable Mentions list. Chock full of the kind of cheesy fanfare you'd get from literally any award show that you can think of, this is The Pub Awards!
Press play. Buckle up. This is gonna be a wild ride.

Equatorial Guinea, the madcap ending to the Tunisia v. Mali match, and so much more.
