  • Going downhill

    Their output and quality is down significantly over the last few years. The host’s microphone hasn’t worked for the past month. Short podcast to begin with then the mic goes out, there’s silence, he comes back to talk about the mic not working and saying he still needs to order a new one, next podcast same thing happens again. Seems kindof important to have a working mic for a podcast. There’s barking dogs, crying kids and sounds from traffic in the background. The host complains about being rea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Will Jose Mourinho Need To Build Real Madrid? PLUS: Real Madrid Elections
Q: How might Nico Paz and Arda Guler fit under Mourinho?
Both have high ceilings; Paz could be integrated if the role supports him as a right midfielder or rotated option, while Guler is viewed as a natural fit for the passing and creative responsibilities in a system that leverages ball progression from deep and through the wings.
What Will Jose Mourinho Need To Build Real Madrid? PLUS: Real Madrid Elections
Q: What needs to be reinforced in Mourinho's Real Madrid if he returns?
Defensive strength with two center backs, a capable right back, a deep-lying playmaker to control tempo, and a balance between the two holds in midfield to allow Bellingham and Guler to operate higher up the pitch.
Nico Paz's Return? Mbappe's Pressing? Mourinho's 10?
Q: Kama Vinga—would you keep him, and could Mourinho light a fire under his mentality?
He would keep Kama Vinga and believes Mourinho might uplift his mentality; there's no rush to sell, and the coaching environment could unlock his potential while easing pressure.
Nico Paz's Return? Mbappe's Pressing? Mourinho's 10?
Q: Riquelme left the Burnabout at the 80th minute without attending the tribute for Alaba and Carvajal—what sort of leadership would guide this club in such situations?
The host suggests it's difficult to judge without full context, but leadership must balance accountability with fair assessment, and decisions should consider the club's broader goals, timing, and the integrity of official tributes.
Klopp And Kroos At Real Madrid -- How Realistic Is It? Mailbag!
Q: What are the likely transfer target changes depending on the manager the club hires?
The host compares Mourinho and Klopp's profiles, suggesting both would demand high-workrate squads but with different tactical emphases, and argues signings would center on players who fit intense, no-nonsense environments and can adapt to the chosen coach's system.
