Episode 100: A Centurion Episode

The Overlap ·

2021/03/04

We'll make this brief: just a simple thank you to everyone who has helped us get to 100 episode on the podcast! This week we go over all the shenanigans in England, including an underwhelming Chelsea vs United match up, a Leicester in poor form, and Liverpool back to winning ways.

Episode 99: We Need to Talk about Atletico et al

The Overlap ·

2021/02/26

Yeah, so we need to talk about La Liga...Atletico continue to drop points in the league and slip up in the Champions League, Barcelona get mauled by PSG at home, and Real Madrid are still 3 points off the top of the league with Atleti having a game in hand over them (albeit, the Madrid Derby is approaching). So, where do each of these teams sit in their chances to win the league now? Is Spanish football slowly falling off its pedestal in Europe?

Episode 98: The Death Star Rolls On

The Overlap ·

2021/02/23

We've concluded that Manchester City is the Death Star until we're proven otherwise. That conclusion has largely been successful, of course, until we're prove wrong. In other news, Liverpool continue a semi-poor run of form, but showed some signs of a spark in their game against Leipzig. United and Leicester come out on top over the weekend while West Ham slyly move up into fourth, confirming the David Moyes redemption arc. And, of course, Chelsea stutter before their big Champions League clash with

Episode 97: The Champions League Returns

The Overlap ·

2021/02/16

Europe's formidable competition. The jack of all trades. THE Champions League is back this week (finally) to provide some much needed additional narratives with the likes of Sevilla vs Dortmund, Leipzig vs Liverpool, and, of course, Barcelona vs PSG. We go over all the details of each tie and what we're looking forward to most. We also added a quick Q&A portion to the podcast at the end, answering some questions from our listeners!

Episode 96: The Death Star Strikes Again!

The Overlap ·

2021/02/09

It's inevitable isn't it? Manchester City. Domination. It's just what's expected from Pep, but maybe even more impressively, with a squad that is not at the caliber they were at 2 years ago. Meanwhile, we have to talk about what this result means for Liverpool, how poor the keepers in the United vs Everton match were, and a round up of the rest of the Premier League. Oh yeah, and Chelsea won.

Episode 95: Dutchification

The Overlap ·

2021/02/04

Yep. Dutchification. It's a word. We didn't make it up. But Ronald Koeman may be making up things as he goes at Barcelona. Is Griezmann also quietly having a great season? Meanwhile, Atletico continue on a ridiculous run of form, but actually showed signs of weakness this past weekend. We talk a little Real Madrid as well and what they need to focus on between now and the end of the season.

Episode 94: A Look at Spurs vs Chelsea

The Overlap ·

2021/02/03

This week in the Premier League, we invited our old friend Desmond, an unfortunate Spurs fan, back on the podcast to talk about the upcoming Spurs vs Chelsea clash this week. Afterwards, we discuss the Arsenal vs United snooze fest, Leicester and Everton's poor results, and Rheon's pick for Premier League player of the year.

Episode 93: Real Madrid Have an Unfixable Problem

The Overlap ·

2021/01/28

While Atletico continue to storm to the La Liga title, we took some time to not just focus on the league leaders, but their runners-up and some of their *potentially* unfixable problems if they don't make smart sporting decisions soon. Of course, we also review Barcelona's recent positive run of form and whether letting Luis Suarez go may have actually been a good idea.

Episode 92: Lampard is OUT

The Overlap ·

2021/01/27

Well, we can't say this wasn't coming, but it's still sad to see. Frank Lampard is out as Chelsea manager after a very poor run of games. But, that's not the only thing we cover this week. An entertaining Manchester United vs Liverpool match up, a look ahead at a few big upcoming fixtures in England, and a little Serie A news all coming your way!

Episode 91: Man City is the Death Star

The Overlap ·

2021/01/20

This past (long) weekend saw a snoozefest in the North West Derby, Manchester City return to their consistent strength of years past, Arsenal and Spurs step into form, and Chelsea continue to stumble. Where does this weekend leave the Top 3 teams? Is Lampard on his way out at Chelsea? Which of Spurs or Arsenal have a better chance of finishing Top 6? All that and more on this week's Premier League podcast.

Episode 90: Bullish on Atleti, Bearish on Everyone Else

The Overlap ·

2021/01/14

Atleti just keep winning. There's really no way to beat around the bush. So, with more than 50% of La Liga finished, could we see them comfortably win the league? Will Barcelona or Real put their foot on the gas and finally challenge? Where do Sevilla, Real Sociedad, and Villareal sit now? All that and more is answered in this week's La Liga podcast!

Episode 89: Liverpool vs Manchester United (2x) Preview

The Overlap ·

2021/01/12

Looking towards not one, but TWO, North West Derbys in the next 10 days to look forward to, so we invited friend of the pod, Cam. In the second half of the pod, we look ahead to a big week for Villa and Everton and a top 6 clash between Southampton or Leicester.

Episode 88: La Liga is ON!

The Overlap ·

2021/01/08

It's amazing how every 10 days or so, La Liga's Top 4 seems to dramatically change...except for Atleti. This week, we go over Atletico's chances at the title, where Real Madrid and Barcelona after the new year, and where some of the other top teams in La Liga sit.

Episode 87: Fred Is Still Not Brazilian

The Overlap ·

2021/01/05

Welcome to 2021! Apologies again for the audio issues on Elyas's end, but this week we've got a packed agenda going over whatever has happened to Chelsea since we last recorded, whether or not City can compete for the title again, are United actually a Top 4 (read: title contending) side, and where, of course, Arsenal, Leicester, and Liverpool stand. Enjoy!

The Overlap ·

2020/12/15

You'll understand the title once you get through the podcast. BUT, in this week's Premier League pod, we invited an old coach and advisor onto the show to talk about Liverpool's upcoming game with Spurs. Later on, we go over some of the results from this past weekend including why watching the Manchester Derby was just painful.

Episode 82: The End Really is Near

The Overlap ·

2020/12/11

On the La Liga portion of this week's pod, we go over how Zidane has gone from the chopping block 10 days ago to potential Madrid hero. Also, once again, Atléti show how difficult it is to beat them and we preview this upcoming weekend's Madrid Derby! Can't believe we had to talk about this too, but we have to have the discussion: what's going on with Messi?

Episode 81: Machiavelli Or Mourinho?

The Overlap ·

2020/12/09

I think the title says it all really. WHAT did we watch during this past weekend's NLD? Only the former philosophers of the world can tell us. In other news, Rheon FINALLY gets on the Chelsea-might-win-this-thing train Elyas highlights how Arsenal and Manchester United can actually improve.
