  • G.I.D!

    Daniel's take on 3 point shots in the NBA is unhinged. Aside from that, this show is always in rotation for me. As someone who has wanted to learn more about football from the perspective of other African people and those in the diaspora I like listening to these bruddas whenever they bless our podcast feeds. Big up.

    What’s up fellas,

    I’ve been listening for 3-4 years and it’s become one of my favorite podcasts. As an African american Chelsea supporter, finding people/voices who share a similar background and passion for soccer is kind of tough. You guys bridged that gap and I really appreciate y’all for that. Keep up the good work!

  • Great show for a Man U/Chelsea podcast!

    I enjoy listening to this show for the unique perspectives, particularly on topics that other shows may not cover or identify as they can be more Black centric. They do spend majority of the time talking about United or Chelsea but otherwise touch on many broad topics!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

424 | Ousmane Day
Q: So, do you consider yourself politically on the left or politically on the right?
It depends on your definitions of left and right.
424 | Ousmane Day
Q: So, you're telling me that Sterling is that much worse than Garnaccio, Pedro Neto and Kittens?
You mean you have to always take your best players and put them on the pitch, which means you look at the overall performance.
422 | Who Told You That?
Q: Why do you think Pep got Donnarumma?
It's part two; I think it's more about City getting Donnarumma for Pep, meaning Pep might have others in mind for his project.
422 | Who Told You That?
Q: What are your expectations for Manchester United this season?
I expect very little of Manchester United now, and I believe they will finish somewhere in the top half.

Q: Do you think the summer needs are?
Oh my God, a goalkeeper, please, please. I beg a goalkeeper, a real one, an actual real-life goalkeeper with hands.
