A recording by Stateside Gooners about the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich, Everton FC, Arsenal FC and lots of laughs

Thank you for tuning in!

On this episode, Eric and Matt talk about the fabulous advertisement for football that was the Arsenal - Bayern Munich match. The guys recap the goals and near misses. There is discussion about the assists that set up a couple of goals. You’ll hear about Saka and our speculation about how long the injury will keep him out of action. The match ended up just short of a perfect ending when Timber’s shot in extra time was denied. Great match - this is why you want to compete in the Champions League. Then we preview the Premier League match against Everton at The Emirates and speculate about how much time Max Dowman may get.

Somehow, as we’re all trying to sort ourselves and decide how we’ll feel and what we’ll do if Manchester City Cheaters Club get punished what we think is enough, or not. Meanwhile, their manager is out there saying ‘I know nothing.’ If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember Shultz saying that on Hogan’s Heroes. I think I recall it being highly sarcastic, and that he knew everything but didn’t want to get in trouble or be responsible for not being a tattletale. Feels a little like that with Enzo Maresca. Enough talk about the lying cheating blues. If you haven’t checked out my full analysis of what punishment should look like, you’ll find it in Punished: The Sentence Manchester City Deserves.

On this episode, Eric and Matt cover Arsenal’s Champions League match against Lille. Three really lovely goals and who started the goal scoring? None other than defender Jurrien Timber and his magical right foot. We discuss Saka’s key contribution off the bench. There is a quick rundown of the crazy results in the Champions League. We preview the Nottingham Forest match and the challenges they present. Make sure to listen to the end for the 3 quick things and the big number reveal.
