This week, the pod is all about receding hairlines. We welcome the Lagos version of a Guy Ritchie protagonist with Tosin (@TousenCollins) of The Sports Podcast, joining Peter & Sam to talk about Arsenal's enduring rot, PSG’s French domination and to make a strong appeal for Zinedine Zidane to coach at his favourite club. There’s some FPL banter, and the guys discover how to define what a “squad player” is.

Congratulations to Chelsea for getting a second Champions League trophy. The season finale had the guys hosting two Chelsea fans (@sheyejinkazama & @Ndirpaya) who brought some interesting insight after the final but also turned the episode pretty much upside down, closing the season out with a bang. There were harsh words for Pep Guardiola, props for Ngolo Kante and Samaila’s Ibadan family made a return as well. Some attention was cast on all the empty dugouts across Europe with a debate on two middling English strikers.

Back at it again, your favourite podcast duo welcomed the legendary Ayoola Kelechi (@ayoola_kelechi aka xG Evangelist aka Potbellied Messi aka Zaddy One aka Cafe con Keleche) to dive into what Schalke & Sheffield United have in common, Barcelona’s quiet La Liga renaissance with Messi scoring more frequently and the future of the Catalan club.
There’s some Bundesliga chat with special focus on the deadly duo of Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland and a quick debate around who the most “complete” strikers around are. Samaila’s distraction (as usual) revolves around proving why it’s not okay to drink water from bathroom taps.

Happy New Year folks! This first episode in 2021 explores Arsenal’s “resurgence” alongside Manchester United’s alleged title ambitions. We also trade opinions over Marcelo Bielsa, Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho criticisms while making predictions for the quickly intensifying relegation battle. The guys almost clash on Wonder Woman 1984 while Sam tries to mount a defence for Benjamin Mendy’s bizarre behaviour.

In this bumper episode, Sheye (@sheyejinkazama) returns (again) with Lucy (@TheAfroLucy) after a Chelsea defeat. A fair amount of time was spent reacting to the Manchester derby, Frank Lampard’s credentials, and a handful of results across the rest of Europe including the Champions League. Listen to the end and find out some interesting information about the podders and their toothbrushes.

In our first episode back after a long break, Sheye (@sheyejinkazama) returns to the pod not to gloat about Chelsea, but to provide some insight on how the title race is going so far. We spend some time reacting to Klopp’s weird post-match presser while also trying our best to bid farewell to the late, great Diego Maradona. In more surprising news, Samaila is reading a lot of things now

While we come to terms with pushing the #EndSARS movement forward, the delightful Nty (@Nty_O) joins the guys to break down all the bittersweet Barcelona updates (including dancing on Josep Bartomeu’s grave, sort of), to take shots at both Arsenal and Man United fans, and bond with Sam over a mutual love for Ariana Grande. Peter spends time denying his roots while giving Nty props for being an FPL goddess.

It’s still about #EndSARS as El-Nathan joins the pod to talk about Leo Messi’s fortunes in the new El Clasico era, Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United improvements, defending both Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho as well as a small debate on Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid legacy. This was not a good FPL weekend for the guys at all.
