Jerrellwhy I keep watching RA play, but here we are.
WillI just like saying their name, man. I'm rooting for them in pathos.
JerrellI, I really well. They played each other
WillYeah. Yeah.
ChristianOh yeah. There was a red card in the fourth minute.
Jerrellit was awful.
Willsome,
Jerrellgame.
Willsometimes you have to go out and feel something.
ChristianHe felt that man's face with his boot.
JerrellYeah,
Willit was like Dan Real Madrid. There was a sub in you guys' game on the weekend where the sub was in for all of one minute. I think it was like a top hit, real Madrid
ChristianYeah.
Willa minute red card. And I forgot who, I think Vinny said to the coach, he was like, or in Bapi, he was like, Hey, great sub, great sub.
JerrellThat's my guy.
Willmy guy. Where's I think,'cause we didn't wanna put all 18 drill put initially all the, premier League games and I was like, I'm gonna put other games'cause I like to draw outside the, because outside the lines, so just broaden our scope a little bit. So Patos. Gerald's Hey, if you write it, it's allowed, but otherwise don't complain. So fair. But yeah. So we're gonna go over what match day eight. Last weekend. We're gonna go over UCL coming hot off the presses. Today is October 22nd, 2025. We are what now removed from UCL games, what match day
JerrellYep.
Willconcluded.
JerrellMm-hmm.
Willopen tomorrow, but we're gonna keep on yapping at you. Drew, anything you wanna shout out real quick?
JerrellI wanna shout out Dallas, Texas. Somebody was binging our episodes, all 51 of them. Thanks
ChristianGood shit.
JerrellI know the cowboy. I know the Cowboys suck. But you got us.
Willthe
JerrellYou got us
Willwas listening to us while practicing. I'm convinced. So shout out to the DCC. Other news. La Liga canceled the Miami game that no one wanted between and Barcelona.
Jerrellsuch.
WillI think the only person complaining about is te, we never really talked about it on the show. Christian, do you have thoughts on it? As someone who also follows La Liga for some reason.
ChristianIt's weird. Why would you play another, like your, your home league? Why would you play it in another country? I feel like it should. Yeah. NFLI mean, because it's fucking Jacksonville. What, what are, what are you gonna do? Sell tickets in Jacksonville? They,
WillOther teams play outside
JerrellMiami.
ChristianI think
Willthe Steelers have played in Dublin or some
Christianthey did play in Dublin. Yeah. But like the Jacksonville always has like a international game.'cause I'm sorry, Duvall. I just don't be showing up for your team.
WillNo reason to talk shit about Jacksonville. We appreciate you. If you're listening, go on. Carry on, Christian.
ChristianBut yeah I, I saw the video today where the president or owner of VI found out while he was at a soccer match and he was not a very happy camper.
WillYeah, apparently the, was it the organizer relevant or whatnot? I believe is their name. They informed De Villa Royal, just Hey, yeah, so this is canceled. And Tebo just announced it, through La Liga communications without even giving a heads up. And I know
ChristianWhatsApp.
Willapparently Villa Royale was just just Hey, so we need these bare minimum requirements for this to even be okay. But couldn't even get like the courtesy, Hey girl, I ain't sliding through or anything like that. It was just kind of like, here's my new bitch. He found out at the same time as
ChristianYeah,
Willelse, which is crazy.
Christianso I didn't get into the weeds of it. What was the reasoning behind canceling it?
JerrellThere's a lot of backward.
Willno one wanted it. I'm not.
Jerrellit.
WillI feel was it, I know Frankie De Young TWA said something, you had players, and even last weekend in La Liga, the first 30 seconds, teams weren't playing in protest. ESPN did their coverage by, showing sky views of all the games, stadium views and just like putting just yeah protest for peace or whatnot. But no one won this game. It was put together during the season. I feel like. While I can understand, okay, we're gonna spread the brand out and try to, penetrate different markets the way they went about it mid-season. No one really had heads up, no transparency. Isn't the way to do it. And that's outside getting into just the traditionalism of just like losing a game. Rail Madrid obviously, and other teams just it ruins like the sanctity of the competition since you have pretty much what would've been another home game for Barcelona, considering they're more of a global brand versus al. Yeah.
JerrellYeah.
WillI'm glad even though we would've had an opportunity to spend like several thousand dollars probably to go to the game I, it just, it's stink, stink of a cash grab and no one wanted it. And it's no one, eh, but.
JerrellYeah,
ChristianI mean it.
Jerrellyou had asked me five years ago, I wouldn't have cared. I would've been like, yeah, sure. Bring it to Miami. Watching American football and just watching the NFL do that and going to Europe and. Mexico and Brazil almost every year. Now I think they're up to six games. It's just commonplace for America to like, yeah, you're gonna expand your brand into other areas. But I think it's different for like European where, a lot of this teams, it's, it's that's your, that's your weekend. That's that's what you do. a supporter. You're not so much a fan. This is what you, you support the club and it's a very community driven sport in Europe and. Football is life. And to take it out of those communities
ChristianYeah,
Jerrellbasically parade it around in another country where they
Christianthe cash grab.
Jerrellhave that respect. Yeah. Cash grab. It's, it's kinda a slap in the face.
WillEven the Supercopa, which traditionally was like a preseason tournament then has moved to Saudi Arabia over the last couple seasons, is just kind of like, people look at that funny and that's not in its super important competition to most teams for them to just try to take a La Liga game. But really on the fly it felt like this was announced. What about a month ago, but definitely after the, the season started. It just doesn't make sense. There's a way, for you to do this if you really had honest intentions, Hey, it's really important for us to get, this brand out there, but this, that none of this smelled Right. Felt right. Did. Yeah. Fuck'em.
JerrellYou already have your preseason tours, and that should be.
WillYeah.
JerrellCool. Good
ChristianI'm gonna plug in the
Jerrellmatch?
Christianout here.
WillFuck
JerrellYeah.
WillFuck you, Iffa. You
ChristianYeah.
Willwhatever. Fuck. Tab us. Yeah. The only thing that brings me and Christian together consistently while we go, it's like, God, he sucks. You guys wanna hit the match? Day eight review for him, the Premier League.
JerrellYeah, let's do it.
WillI can't see re so I'm gonna
ChristianI'll take care of it. I'll take care of it.
JerrellYeah.
ChristianMatch day Ocho tricky Trees. Finally, no more past.
WillOh, thank God we lost.
ChristianLosing three zero to Chelsea Brighton. V Newcast two one. That was a good game. Burnley leads, like I I said it. Turn around, baby. Turn around for Burnley. I, I think I said for both of them. But anyways, shout out Burnley taking the two zero win
Jerrellof.
ChristianFirst Palace and the Cherry side at three. Three. Man City Beat Everson. Two zero Sunderland beat. Wolves. Poor wolves. Poor, poor wolves. More like hyenas because everybody's laughing at them. Arsenal,
Willdidn't the hyenas laugh at others Christian. Try to move past it. Nah, hold up. Did the hyenas technically laugh at everyone else?
Christianthey're laughing at each other, bro. Arsenal. Never worried against Fullo. It's not like they took all the points away from us last, last year. Shout out finally. Thank you. Thank you. We beat Fullham one zero. Tottenham lost to
JerrellDear
ChristianTottenham. Lost to the villains. Two one. And again, we all predicted Manchester United be Liverpool two one.
WillOh, they were holding on.
ChristianYeah.
WillGood for them.
ChristianFuck.
JerrellSlab, head with the game winner.
ChristianAnd then we got the Brentford Bees two Zero against Westham.
WillYeah, west team really fucked that up. Huh? Really? Fucked that up,
JerrellNever worried. The XG speaks for itself.
WillYeah. Oh God. I'm nervous. Oh man. Oh man, guys, you guys let me relapse on that shit. That sucks.
JerrellNo one made you do anything. You went right in, said theses are.
Willguys were supposed to stop
ChristianBro all, all they said was you up
Jerrelltried,
Christianand you said, damn straight. I'm up.
Jerrellsaid I like the jerseys
Willoh God. So post colu fired 19 minutes after the end of the game.
Jerrell39 days after being hired.
Willyeah. Yeah. So he will not have the second season to win some trophy win a trophy. on XG nine Ham Forest. They were chasing the game for the most. Yeah. It just, what happened was supposed to happen. I don't Nine ham forest though, given what they did last year. What's the turnaround look like?'cause I just feel like at this point, does it turn
JerrellRelegated.
ChristianThat's crazy.
WillJesus ge Oh. You win one game in your your back, right? I don't know.
ChristianYeah. At this point it's still pretty early, but if you're, if you're forced not knowing what direction your team's gonna go into, not knowing who your next coach is gonna be, you might as well just try not to get relegated and just sell out for European competition. Are they European?
Jerrellwinter window is gonna go crazy.
ChristianWhat's up?
JerrellThe winter window, that's when, that's when Han Forest makes their move. just kinda weird'cause like you lost like a whole month on a manager who does not fit your team's scheme.
Christianit the manager or is it the owner?
JerrellNo, it is like between Santos and Pasta Calu, like their, their tactics are entirely different.
WillIdeally, and you give him, if this is something baking up, you, you give him like a preseason to like adjust his tactics. And given how they ran and some of the metrics initially weren't the worst thing in the world, but I don't know. I don't know. As someone who follows the Knicks and seen James Dolan all over the team, it's just, it feels like we have too many cooks in the pot right now. And why are you gonna hire a guy for six games at it, vibes are bad. Vibes are terrible. These are the worst vibes in the Premier League if you ask me. And they're sitting at what? 18th? They have the third relegation spot right now. So we'll see. We'll see how things go.
JerrellYeah,
ChristianDo you get rid of Santos bro?
Jerrellone
WillEasy, you're fired.
JerrellFired.
Willthe flip side back to back wins, they get a good result. This was all their goals came second half, but and what, after the first three minutes of the game, it took'em three minutes to get a shot on target, on to nine him for credit, but then three. Three goals in the second half for us, never really looked like they were gonna fight back into this. And Chelsea after dropping a couple points in consecutive games a few weeks ago, they're now 14 points sitting just right outside. Top four. So shallow ball, loose, shallow blues
JerrellOkay.
Willtrack.
JerrellVery much, very much and they won today in Champions League two. So look at Good,
WillChristian, you shouted him out last week. Danny Welbeck with a
Jerrelldid, and I had to look them up just, just so I was educated.
WillEdge ated his shit.
JerrellMm-hmm.
Willhe gets a brace. He ll Nullifies Nick Al's equalizer and I think it was like the 79th and he got the game winner in the 84th. So Brighton doing Brighton things they heard the disrespect last week from Rell and they're like, matter of fact, watch this. Hold my. C foam.
JerrellWe need
Willthis.
ChristianHold this.
Jerrellthen he'll pay attention.
WillHold Ds. Yeah shout bright. Good result Newcastle. I even though we were singing their praises, they're now sitting like 14th on the table, so
JerrellMm-hmm.
Willgetting results pretty quick, pretty quick.
ChristianSee where? Where's Brian sitting at right now? Oh, other 10th.
Jerrell10th.
ChristianDamn new. They're definitely dropping.
WillWith that plus one goal differential. You love to see it?
JerrellHow about the leads game Burnley? Two. And then leads not being able to get on the board. Let's talk about it. The ascendancy. Burnley, trying to stay competitive.
Christiannever worried.
JerrellNever worried.
ChristianI was never worried. I, I always knew one of one of these teams were gonna win.
WillNo, no draws here. So right now all of our relegation or ascendant teams sitting outside of the relegation zone by two points for burn Lee. Three points for leads. Given run of play, I, I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Leads got fucked on. I think leads deserve did enough to at least deserve a draw. But early on, Christian, can you pronounce his name? Leslie Chu. Did
ChristianBless you.
WillHe gets an early goal in the seventh minute and a own goal later. If I remember, I might have my games fucked up. That might've been the Brun for game. But a late goal in the second half kind of brings some of the points as, yeah, no response for leads at any points leaving seven points, eight points for two of our ascendant
ChristianYeah, they couldn't hold a lead anytime during the last game. That's what I'm here for, baby.
JerrellCrystal battling back.
Willyou.
JerrellTo get the.
WillYeah.
ChristianYeah, that
WillMatea.
Christianaback
WillYeah, they were down two. Oh, Matea. He gets a, yeah, he gets a hat trick and he skied the fuck out of a consensual winner. He is like eight yards out last kick of the game. And I think
Christianfrom him.
Willafter a fourth goal. But no, he had a great game. Eli Rupi 19-year-old Frenchman for mh. He scored a brace in the first half. Watch out for him. But crystal ball, good resilience, good fight back. Still performing well once again considering all things. Atta I think he alluded to, I forgot he had beef with someone, but he was able to put it behind. Just he got his first cap over the international break as well for Frank. So good moment for him and he's been playing really well anyone deserves it, especially with how that fish is red. He took in like the fa cup semis last season. Matea, shout out him.
JerrellAll right.
ChristianOn, we got Man City two Zero against Everton Holland just continues to be a fucking Android.
JerrellYeah, basically.
WillPee
JerrellSo something I wanted to bring up. Holland's scoring another brace. He has 11 of the 15, 11 of the 15 goals that Man City has scored, and four players are tied for second with one goal, a piece.
WillYep.
ChristianCrazy.
JerrellSo you shut down the Android, you shut down, man City. Am I right?
WillI think everyone's trying to, but
Jerrellcan't.
ChristianIt's not like they're going out there and just we need to guard everybody except Holland.
Willyeah.
JerrellOne can score.
WillAnd he was just so efficient. Yeah, he was doing it kind of like, he was doing his first two seasons, I think last year, despite how many goals he scored, everyone took it. I was like, oh, maybe he had a little bit of an off season. And I think he took that personally.'cause yeah, he's just very, very efficient with every touch he's getting. And yeah, fucking ter.
JerrellNo.
WillYeah. I was just like, I think the only person who's had a hotter start to start the season, probably Harry Can and Byron. But you can't really go wrong either way. So early Holland, you Me on a week to week. Good for
Jerrellhe's a striker and this is what you pay him for,
WillThey're just lucky. Jack Grish didn't play forever. Everton because Whew. The revenge game would've been something. But all things fair given how this one went.
Jerrellsaving it for the home leg.
WillAlexa play wolves. Fuck.
ChristianYeah, man, it hurts. I really want the wol, want the wolves to do better just because they signed John Adia and I'm a Big John fan. But fuck man, the wolves,
Willany
Christianthey signed multiple, nah, no. Fuck it. They signed a lot of they, they had a good off season. You'd expect them to do a lot better, especially considering the fact that they didn't do that great last year. So maybe all these signings hopefully would at least get them out of the relegation zone. But
Jerrella second half team, and by second half, second half of the seasoned
ChristianThey, they got two points. Right now they're on will's watch right now for, what was it? 12 points.
WillOh.
JerrellOh.
Willbro, stop. It's 11, but stop. No, they're gonna be okay. Five points by and we talked about off pod, but I'm gonna need an extension to next match week as well. If that's cool, we cool
JerrellChristian, do you allow it?
ChristianTo get five points.
Willme that
ChristianIf we want the extension, it needs to be more than five points.
WillNo, I think when I was talking about it, I was just like over these next three games and I didn't realize the third game was the November 1st and second. Come on, man. Be cool. We we're pod. We're pod bros. Guys. Come on. This only matters to me.
ChristianSeven points
WillWhy?
Christianend of November.
WillIf they lose this week, it doesn't end of November. Okay. I can take that. I'll take that. There's no stakes. You guys are just being dicks. Just to be dicks. This is not great.
JerrellSeven points by the end of November is crazy.
ChristianOh,
Willcan do
Christianthey're on Will watch
JerrellI would hope
Christian11 points.
WillAll right, so that we got, they got fullham on the first, that what I'm asking is for the first extension of
JerrellI.
ChristianOkay, fine. Extensions to the first. What, what, what are
Willand Fullham, they're gonna have five
ChristianBurnley and full? They need to win at least one of them, so they can't even get a tie.
Willthat's where I'm at. Yes, they're gonna win one of these games. I thought they'd win LA this last weekend, this is where we're at it's time. It's cool. They started shitty last year. Last year too. They gonna be all right. What else We had.
JerrellFull of Arsenal, Arsal getting the win, got the one goal and that's all they needed. of the table.
WillYeah, I don't know. It was pretty sweet. I don't know the, I think what's super fun about watching Arsenal this year is like lot, all their, all, pretty much, most games are pretty calm teams.
JerrellNewcastle.
WillWe were losing in that one, right?
JerrellYeah.
Willeven then, it's just I don't think there's like a game so far this season where I felt like we got got at oh, like chance after chance, after chance, after chance. And that kind of echoes what we did last season. Where I think what we had a couple of bad losses in Newcastle and the Kara about Cup when,
JerrellSurrendering leads.
Willbut I don't think we lost by more than two goals all season. I don't know. It feels nice, feels like we can win in a variety of ways. Maybe wanna see a couple more goals from open play, but I don't know, man. Just feels good. Just feels good. They're first winning in three road games at, in Craven cottage. And they have a three point lead over man city who's sitting in second right now in the Premier League.
ChristianWe're so good.
Jerrellfor Arsenal. Overall Tottenham, speaking of good week, Tottenham fell to Ashton Villa spurs score within five minutes, I think of that start. And then Villa finding goals. I think they've scored seven goals in their past three matches, so
WillTwo
Jerrellwe're talking about.
Will0.3. XG is insane, but yes.
ChristianYeah, with a 77 minute goal by, so might say he had a really good day.
WillThat was better than the other one. Morgan Rogers, he scored his first score in 20 premier League games to equalize early on, but fuck it. So may, maybe, maybe just normalizing to the mean given, just like how difficult it was for them to score. Now they're scoring sitting at 11th right now, which all things considered where we were, I don't know, a month ago. Good for them. Good for them. They've now secured wins in their last three games. Nope. Sorry. Wrong team. was looking at the wrong team.
JerrellYes.
WillYes, team. Ha ha. I can read my own charts. Carry on.
JerrellYeah,
Christianhaven't lost a game in five games with Man City coming up next. That's gonna be a, it's gonna be a good battle for them.
WillYeah.
JerrellAndroid.
WillPee Liverpool, man, United went exactly the way we thought it would go.
ChristianOh yeah.
Jerrellslab head with the game winner in the 84th minute.
Willsay that. Yeah, they did say that was just like, he just has a, a broad forehead. Liverpool get the first goal sorry, Manchester United get the first goal and my God, were they hanging on for dear life? Just all the posts was hit. Lot of chances for Liverpool. They finally were able to get a equalizer late. And then everyone's favorite center back, Harry McGuire. Gets a winner in the 84th. United's first, back to back wins under Ruben Amare and their first win at Anfield in nearly a decade.
JerrellThat's crazy.
Willso how quickly things changed. They're now sitting at 13 points row, the doom and gloom we were under, and they're sitting two points back of Liverpool after positive result. Look at that. Life comes at you fast.
JerrellI
Christianat that, bro. They're in single digits.
JerrellThat one? Yeah.
WillThey don't have to worry about finishing with the least amount of points. Shout out to them. Are we Liverpool? What's the, what's the panic scale right now?
JerrellIt's the, it's the honeymoon phase of their, winning the. League. So whatever, whatever happens, I don't think anyone's really just like upset at Liverpool or panicking.
ChristianYeah. It depends what you mean by panicking, not winning. If, if it's not winning is panicking, I'd say I panic, don't. If Liberal continues this form, I don't see a way they're gonna be be able to fight for the, the top spot, but I think they'll still be able to get at least some type of international. Like I can see them falling to fifth, but I don't see it falling past that. There's a lot of good teams out here. We got Arsenal, Manchester Tum is playing pretty well despite the fact that they lost to the villains, but has a good team and they have good potential. And you can't forget seventh Place, Sunderland. Back by Mexico, not jk, but no, I, I do see Liverpool not finishing top two, probably not even top three if they continue this, this m. But,
Willso if I spend 482 million pounds, oh euros in the off season, I'm cool with fourth, fifth. I think, I think my, my not panic, I think where I'm at is just just who's gelling out of the new signings so far. Because even a lot of their victories, it feels like it's coming from familiar places. Verts I think has had some bad luck. Esoc hasn't made his mark quite yet. I think they're best sighting so far. Maybe on a game today is Hugo, but.
Christiansolid.
JerrellEarly on, but. I think he's he got the red card, I believe, and had a set sit for Esau
WillYep.
Jerrellduring Champions League. They did line up Esau and Hugo together up top. So that might be a change going
ChristianYeah. ES side just has to get back into form. You spend that a lot of time not playing. I think once ES side gets into form. They, they would be more efficient, but
JerrellI think his he's not informed and they keep. Keeps putting in starting 11 you
Christianyeah.'cause you spend a lot of money on esop.
Jerrellthere. I get that. Yeah. But if it's not working, I don't know. Maybe
WillI, the 14 goals through eight matches in the Premier League, they've given up 11. So I think for me it's just kind of like, I think Liverpool, to, Christian's credit again, last last week, I, I pitched on it. It's just like that stability's not there and the balance just seems to be off. I don't know. I, I think I, I'm just starting to have,'cause I feel like this is know, with the limited signings last year, a slot, he was just managing, like some contract situations, moving on pieces and keeping guys rotated. Now you're bringing in signings that you figure are within in line what you're trying to do there. It's not jelling, it's not the end of the world. Like you guys said Hey, yeah, they just didn't win a couple games with Liverpool. But at what point though, do we start to see them playing more?'cause even early in the season it was like they were winning, but I, what, what's our. What, what, what game can we look at and say? It's just ah, this is like a, total Liverpool performance. I haven't seen it yet personally, so I don't know.
JerrellYeah. Yeah.
ChristianI just got a
JerrellNo, I
Christianhole in the middle of the field. I think once they get down that fiddle, middle of the field, start winning battles in the middle of the field, they'll, they'll, they'll get back into form. They have the pieces,
Jerrellit again.
Christianjust all very attack mentality. So what, who are their next matches up?
WillSo Brentford this Saturday, then they have Crystal Palace in the Carrabelle followed by Villa Rail Madrid, man City Forest over November.
ChristianOh, that's tough. All right. Yeah, so that's a, that's a pretty tough stretch. If they can keep their head above water in November, they, they'll, they'll be fine. They'll probably finish top, top six, top five.
WillBut once again, given the outlay,
ChristianThey can't win every year. They can't win every year.
WillBut if I went last year and I spent nearly 500 million euros this year, am
ChristianThat's what they get for letting
Willdropping
ChristianNow look at him happy with this new chick.
WillWait, what?
ChristianThat's what they get for getting rid of Lucho
WillYeah, I think he scored a goal earlier. He went top shelf in
Christianbanger. Yeah.
WillYeah, I guess we'll keep saying, but also shout Ruben Aen, Reuben Aen. We've had on 10 Ag Watch. So good for him to get, his first back to back wins and we'll see. We'll see if they maintained who the, I guess we'll do the preview later, but they got bright in coming to old Trafford later in the week, so we'll
ChristianOh, and a quick shout out to, I forgot the name of the guy. Fuck, what's his name? But he did started like almost two years ago where he said he is not gonna cut his hair until Manu wins, like five games.
Jerrellyou guys. That's what I was gonna bring up.
ChristianYeah. If the form continues and they do reach it, the Tottenham game is gonna be the fifth game.
JerrellFascinating. Tan could do the
ChristianOh yeah.
WillI, I think we just gotta chill, right? It's only been two. It's just,
JerrellNo, no, no. This
ChristianWhen's the last time they won? Two in a row or three in a row.
Willthe appointment yet. I'd wait is all I'm and that's all.
JerrellNope. Nope. So West Sam's got a little bit of an upper management issue. Fans are not happy with the way the club is going, and there's considerable amount of empty seats during this game. I don't think I've ever seen a stadium look so empty in the Premier League. But despite all that, they still played like ass and the bees got three points.
WillDespite all that, maybe if they had a little bit more support, maybe they would've maybe they would've stolen a result. Maybe we just need a little bit of belief, but Yeah. Shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
JerrellIt was also home de debut too with Westham. So the supporters say that they're gripe is not with the players or the manager. It is with upper management, but to just not show up to support. I don't know. I guess you gotta pick a.
Willso Brent free seven shots on gold to Westham. One, they had 22 shot attempts to Westham seven,
JerrellI think West End had five corners though in the first three minutes
WillYou
Jerrellbut then that was it.
Willyeah. About 56, 44 Brentford way. It, it, it, and they're on the road. If I could walk back some of the shit I said last week, I'd love to. But we're in too deep boys know. Yeah. I, I'm more optimistic for wolves than West Sand after this one, I'm not gonna lie.
ChristianOh, that.
WillYeah. at least Wills I can see. Just the coaches is solid and hey, at some point, they'll find the back of the net Westham just, they're my second worst vibes in the league right now.
ChristianWest hand plays leads next. All right. Who you got gun to your head? You got your the one you can't forget or leads.
WillI am gonna forget'em. If I had to pick between Wolves or West Ham, getting a win this week, it's wolves baby. W is gonna get it done. versus Burnley baby. Home game. West Ham. Let's get a point. Let's just, we're it's a road game. It's tough, you can't have. The stadium will probably be more full than it was this week. Let's just, let's just get a nice little win. It will, everything will be all right. But they, they need that. But like I said, this week's pod I was looking forward to in two weeks. That's the real pod that we, we wanna see how things are going on my side do you, you next week. Fuck, fuck. But also shadow bees. Good for y'all. Good for y'all. Just. Total ass whooping.
JerrellReally needed it.
Willto ass. So busy, busy bees.
Jerrellonly nine points out of first place.
ChristianSo close.
WillWol are 17 out, so hey bro. Hey, like we said, we just, we, if you guys can finish somewhere around 10, we'll take it. I, if you guys finish below, like higher than 15th, like somewhere 14 or lower, it, it's a good season for me if you're the B so negative one goal differential after this one. You guys are ahead of Newcastle right now. So good for y'all. Good for y'all. beast.
JerrellWe had champions like today yesterday and today. Day three, couple results. A lot of lopsided results, to be honest.
Willyeah, I think there's 43 goals on Tuesday. Shit was crazy.
JerrellYeah. Newcastle Beats Ben, Ben Feca. Three zero Vial Loses to Man City. Zero two. Arsenal Beat Athletical Madrid, four zero.
ChristianIt was beautiful.
JerrellChelsea versus Ajax, which I actually don't think that's how you're supposed to say it.
Willred card early, never recovered.
JerrellAax. There you go. Yep. Five one to Chelsea. Tottenham are scoreless, boring. Snooze fest.
Willhey, hey Monaco. Put up a good fight.
JerrellI wanna see goals. IRAK, Frankfurt versus Liverpool. Frankfurt scored first and everyone was like, no, Liverpool gonna lose four in a row. And then they drop five. Barcelona beats O Olympiacos six one.
Willred.
ChristianOkay.
Willass red. Yeah, for sure. Dude. Soft as one. I'm not, I'm not that crazy, bro. Hey bro. Hey, they're gonna get Dick. Hey bro. He's just a boy. Ferman Lo plays a great game though, rat for a great game. But yeah, that shit was soft as fuck. But Nick Marinakis what? Whatever his name is, Olympiacos. You know you fired one coach. You get your other team gets blown out. I don't know. Fuck him, him, fuck him.
JerrellAlso Nottingham Forest owned by the same owner. Just one lever. Kuen. PSG. Leverkusen Falls two seven
WillI feel like with these are all baseball scores. This shit's
JerrellYeah.
ChristianYeah.
JerrellPSV wins Beats Napoli six
ChristianThat caught me off guard.
JerrellMadrid. Get the win to NTUs one Zero.
WillDave,
ChristianYeah. I texted Dave and I was just like, Hey man, I'm sorry, but we're enemies today. And then.
Willat least you texted him before the game because Jarrell and Steve messaged me American football immediately after the team's beat the falcon so far this season. I was like, I don't wanna talk to y'all. Y'all are bad friends, so I appreciate you doing it in advance.
JerrellI was, I wasn't even mean about it.
ChristianHe was more surprised than anything
WillI think the implication was there,
JerrellNo. I didn't even watch the game.
WillI know, I
Christianworse.
Willif you said later in the day it was, it was immediately after zero. And when the bugs beat the falcon. Steve called me immediately. I was like, that's crazy. We haven't spoken in months. So you guys doing that shit back to back. Wild. But yeah, champions league. Champions league have you guys, I meant to add this to the doc, life was busy. Any surprises in the standings for you guys right now?
JerrellAs I look at the standings right now there's so many teams.
Christianmany teams. I'm surprised by that
Willhas been
Jerrellair.
Christianpsb six two match really surprised me. I think that was, was that today, right?
WillYes.
ChristianYeah. I haven't had a chance to look into that. I was watching the Around Madrid game. Madrid played really good. Attacking up there, attacking a nice little tapping goal. I do want to look at that p SB game because it's hard to believe that PSB put six goals on.
WillAnd Antonio Conte he, I think it was yesterday actually, but he had mentioned that I have nine new players. Getting all these guys in is tough and it's hard and we need more continuity. So for what that's worth.
JerrellYeah. Ikas play has just been. Awful. They're under ra, PAOs, Boly. These are all debutantes to the Champions League. granted they have not won games, but they've, they've at least gotten
ChristianWho the fuck is UNGU? N-G-U-S-G? Sorry.
WillOh, oh, you
Jerrellunion?
Willof Gaga? Gaga
Jerrellthey're from
ChristianIt's a Belgian,
JerrellYeah. Yeah,
Christianoh fuck is that?
Jerrellis just miserable. NTUs, I don't know. I don't know what my expectation was for NTUs coming in to Champions League. I think they finished fifth on the table last season.
WillU NTUs has been a little funny over the years, honestly.
ChristianYeah.
Willbeen in relative upheaval for I don't know the last what, what, 16, 17 on? I'd say probably a a after Ronaldo left, we'll say they've just been looking for the answer while Ronaldo was there. Renado at least put eyes in the seats, but they haven't hit the same highs they had in their early 2010s for a minute.
JerrellTaser is a nice surprise up to 14th.
ChristianI would like to apologize to my Belgian listeners. To our Belgian listeners. USG has been a force for the previous years. They're currently top last year they ended up in third 23. 24. They won the league. 22
WillOh, you didn't
Christiangot second. No. Did you,
Jerrelltop flight is like super weird as far as their rules and point systems go, though I watched the whole thing on it. I might send it to you guys. It's, it's fascinating.
Christianhow old is it?
WillOh, I'll be there.
JerrellBut yeah, I
ChristianOkay.
Jerrellmy, my frame of reference is last year's Champions League and this year's, so nothing really stands out for me.
WillThe Ben Benfica one for me is loud Aax historically.
ChristianA actually, that's the bottom.
Willone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both them and Benfica with no point Benfica, I think. I forgot if they made it round to 16 or where? Right now, still the early surprise Cinderella story, FKA Kaaba they're sitting on six points. They had two wins from the first two match days, if I have that, if I remember correctly. So I, yeah, we'll see Arsenal right now. Eight. Goal scored zero Goals allowed Nine points. Looking pretty good. PSG did fuck on Lever Houston. The XG on that was a little dis. I think Cuson wasn't as bad as the Scoreline, sometimes you just get got but a lot of glows going on right now. But we'll see how things shake out right now. But I think those two are like my biggest, just Hmm,
ChristianLooking at yak schedule. It's, it's, it's tough for a yaks man. They started off against enter, then played Mar,
WillBen,
Christianthen played Chelsea.
WillBen,
ChristianTough, tough. And they got fucked on on all games. They're, they have a negative 10 goal differential. They've only were able to score one in, in one of those games. That, that's tough. That's a tough start. They got a easier four games ahead of them in this European championship. But will that be enough to sneak into.
Willtoday. CBA and who? Who else? Ben fica. Something's gotta shake, right? You know what? You already here friends, guys. Before the New year.
JerrellTimestamp this
WillFuck. Before the new year ax. We'll be sitting on six points. Fuck, I didn't believe that. In the Champions League. Here we go. Six points.
Jerrellsix points. Okay.
WillI almost said seven, but six.
JerrellGot that 38 minute mark. All right.
WillThanks Jerre. Thanks Jerre. Anything else you guys wanna touch on? Champions League wise? It's still early on, so I feel like the weight of these clashes aren't hitting. They're just happening for me.
ChristianYeah, it's a lot. So much all at once.
JerrellGoals for Match day four.
WillThat'd be crazy.
JerrellSo tomorrow we'll have Europa Conference and Europa League. So in the conference we'll have Crystal Palace playing AKA and in the league match day three, we'll have the Go ahead Eagles first, Ashton Villa and Nottingham Forest First Porto this forest win. Does Forest beat Porto? No, absolutely not.
WillNo.
JerrellIs there any shot for the Go ahead, Eagles.
ChristianMy money's on the Goad Eagles just because it's a really fucking dope name. I really hope their jerseys are green.
JerrellI'll tell you actually, it doesn't,
Willtwo of my best guys on it.
JerrellNope. It's red and yellow.
WillYeah. I'm gonna go villa

Rexton v Cardiff City Swan Sea Verse Man, city Arsenal, v Brighton, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace. And once again, I think this will be the. Third time they meet this season. Fact, check me on that. Wolves Ares Chelsea in New Castle and Tottenham FA

JerrellWhat they

Jerrellasked to care about
Christianfor the wolves?
WillWhat
ChristianOh, what? What was the wager? I dunno what the wager is.
Willdon't think there were stakes but I'm gonna fight tooth to nail for every advantage. Just'cause I really want to see them, see them
Jerrellbecause

WillOkay. Just drink a yard share. Let's hang out guys.
ChristianThat's what it takes. That's what it takes.
Willjust you guys, you guys are basking and me losing a bet. Crystal Palace Liverpool should be fun. Yeah, they met what they met in the Community Shield, correct drill.
JerrellYes.
WillAnd I feel like they met earlier in
Jerrellmet already in, in the season in league play.
WillLook at that. Look at that.
JerrellI think every time it's been on Anfield, though,
WillCrystal Palace is this is fine.
Jerrellthis is fine. Yeah.

WillAlexa, play Wolves by Kanye West. Guys. Are you guys ready for wolves to get the dub?
Jerrellthink for will's sake, I am ready for the Wol.
ChristianHere's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing I want. I want, I want the wolves to win, but

ChristianI also don't want Will to win.
WillHonestly fair. I get that, bro. I, I respect the energy, honestly. Yeah. We'll see Everton versus telling him Everton playing at home. Who do we got?
JerrellTottenham is a strong team, but I like Everton at home. This actually be closer than we, than we think. tough to call.

JerrellGo ahead, Tottenham. All right.
WillGimme three. One. Everton.
ChristianWhat?
WillI said what I said.
ChristianI don't know about that fellas.
WillAnything else you guys wanna touch on a little bit deeper about match Day Donga?
ChristianNot about match nine, but Jarre, what the fuck? You've never watched Power Rangers.
JerrellNo, never watch
ChristianThat's crazy.
WillA hard hitting que like not do you understand Power Rangers?
Jerrellto find understand.
WillYou.
Jerrellwho have different color power suits and sometimes there's animals involved.
WillOkay. I'm trying
JerrellLike I've seen it,
Willto make,
JerrellI've seen like it in passing, but I've never watched Power Rangers. Don't have a favorite Power Ranger. None of that.
ChristianYou have a favorite power ranger
WillIf you don't have a power, favorite power injury, you don't understand
JerrellI watch my Saturday morning cartoons is an maniacs and Pokemon.
ChristianThis.
WillNerd. No, I liked Inter maniacs. I like Pokemon too as a kid the first season. But when the playing cards, you needed to have a quarter on you to play. I was like, this shit's dumb.
ChristianI never understood the
JerrellMore
Christianthe trading card game for Pokemon Catch me on the UGO, but trading card game for Pokemon. I never understood that shit.
WillI'm gonna go ahead and say that Digi Mod was more popping season one. That's my hot take. I think Pokemon was easier accessible, but the story beats in Digi way harder than Pokemon. Pokemon was pretty much just ash, just I'm gonna be aggress and digi. They were like, you're my, my brother loves you more and I can't trust you. And now this little bitch is an angel. It made no sense either, but there's. Oh yeah, it was Heart of the Cods. Hide the cods. We also
ChristianI love it. This card says I win.
Willyou could win, but then I might die. Kaba was a fucking sicko bro. And then he'd win and then he'd call you a second rate Doist with a no, a second, have a third rate Doist with a second rate deck. Didn't even say that right? But it's crazy. also drip the fuck out.
ChristianOh, yeah.
WillYou, Gila had the most drip ash. Katra. Get your drip up. We have a little classico on this weekend Sunday. Christian. Tell me why. Tell me why. RA Madrid tell,
JerrellTell him
WillMadrid needs to do to win this game.
Christianso win this game? They have to score more goals.
Jerrelland ba hatrick still wouldn't be enough. I remember last season.
ChristianNo
Willmore goals.
Christianscore.
WillThank you, Christian.
ChristianIt, it's, it's what you got. What you gotta do is really just find a way to you. You can't stop lamine ma, it's impossible to stop Ami. He's, he's, he's coming to a point where he's just, he's gonna contribute to the game. You just gotta slow him down a little bit. However, that's gonna look like, I think if you stop lamine
WillSergio Ramos comes in with a fake mustache.
ChristianYeah. We're all mature subs in Ramos and Bpe,
WillHeard you homos.
Christianand.
Jerrellon loan for Monte?
WillYeah.
ChristianBut yeah, I think it's gonna, it's gonna lean into just like stopping stopping or slowing down LA mean your mall. It's gonna be an interesting game, but, we won't, we won't, we'll be in different cities for that game, unfortunately.
WillHow does Barcelona win that win this game this weekend?
ChristianYou ask, you asking me or you asking yourself?
WillYeah. Yeah, we're, I'm gonna tell you
Jerrellsilence.
Willare gonna lose yeah,
ChristianWhy are both teams gonna lose?
WillI fuck. Okay. Ask me one and then we'll switch.
ChristianAll right. How is how is Raw Madrid gonna lose this game?
WillRail Madrid right now, I think they have a leadership void, right? I think right now JBI Alonzo is trying to instill, it's still a culture there. We talked about last year, I think. talent all over the pitch. And it's just a little bit how do we fit these pieces? But I think what they're really looking for is someone to fill the shoes of like a Tony Ro of Luca Morich who's gone now. Lucas Vasquez, even though he was there, it's just kind of like, I think they're really missing some of the leadership they had. I think Jbi Alonzo was looking for players to step up
JerrellIs that the same beat from last season?
Willhuh.
Jerrellthat the same beat from last season?
WillMy beat last season was just like, I don't know how these pieces work together. And I think, I think you're seeing them lean more towards them. Imb Mbae, but now you're getting diminishing returns from Vinny a little bit. Hal Madrid functions when under strife. I think it's fascinating to watch a little bit not hearkening onto it, just good thing, but their first real challenge of the season. Outside of maybe a UCL game or two was that Ko Madrid match that did not go their way. So how they respond to adversity, who do they look to, I think is one of those things that I pay attention to while watching Real Madrid a lot because the talents there, the fit in some areas are awkward and, they're still working to get some players, both teams dealing with a lot of injuries. But I think it's just if they do get hit in the jaw, what's the response type stuff. So I think that's, that would be kind of like. they don't have a bounce back, if they don't, give themselves that platform. I think that's how they could squabble a little bit. But I think they will have chances given. I think Barcelona will lose, but you tell me why Barcelona's gonna win. Christian
ChristianI haven't watched Barcelona enough to know their, what they're up against this, this season.
JerrellHe doesn't even respect his enemy.
Willreasonable.
ChristianYeah, I, I, I, although I'm a I really enjoy Ram Madrid. I don't really watch Laga games unless it, it's, it's Madrid involved. I don't watch Barcelona games. Laga games aren't as fun for me to.
WillAlright. You tell me why being a Dick
JerrellBarcelona's gonna, who's at home? Oh, that changes my response.
Willcrazy
ChristianAm.
Willfor the vibes. Yeah.
JerrellIs gonna continue to run that high line and just mba. Be offside all game.
WillSo damn.
Christianon it.
Willmight be
ChristianYeah.
WillWe might be cooked. Definitely. But so the reason I think Barcelona cooked loose the high line has not looked as sharp as it did last year at this time. That matchup, first matchup last year was really close until we got like a couple goals late. I think it was like one, nothing through 60. And with a handful of all size goals going through, I think teams have fi figured out a little bit. How to get at it, but we're also not pressing the same up high. I think that starts with Nia not being there. Yamal coming back from injury hasn't been pressing with the same intensity he was last year. And,
ChristianBro.
Willbut yeah, he is,
ChristianHas anybody ever, have you guys ever injured one of your groin muscles?
Willyeah,
ChristianThat's just so fun, especially when you got a fucking kick.
Willyeah, no, I get it. But. And it has to be a thing. But I, like I said, I'm not saying it's his fault necessarily, it's just things I noticed the highline's not as sharp as it was last year. We're leaking goals out the back. So it turns into just who's gonna strike first and how do, what's the response? Should be a fascinating game regardless. Both teams dealing with a handful of injuries on both sides. So we'll see, what teams glued together for both sides. But,
JerrellThere's no defense in LA ligo. I'm looking at the goals allowed across all the teams and just like everyone just scores.
WillYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not, no arsenals on the leak so far, so it's tough.
Christianwe gotta start the La Liga podcast for more in depth analysis.
JerrellYeah, that'll be on Fridays.
Willmean, Wednesday and Friday appoint is that, is that.
JerrellSo inconvenient.
WillTwice to work and no, I still don't get paid what's going on?
JerrellWe shoulda read the contract
WillI, I wish I knew. I didn't know that was an option.
ChristianYeah.
Willshould be fun regardless. Classical this Sunday, 1115 Eastern time earlier than I would've liked it to be. Here we are. So
