Coshcast S9E20: Ralf's reds are not so rampant

This week on the Coshcast, we analyze the interim job Ralf Rangnick is doing at Man United after two identical 1-1 draws to Boro and Burnley. We round up the FA Cup games meaning we laugh at Everton a lot while. If we laugh at Everton we have to celebrate Newcastle and St. Maximin in particular. We dive into the Kurt Zouma animal cruelty issue and discuss Greenwood a bit too. Of course we couldn't pod without celebrating Senegal's win at the African Cup of Nations where Mane ultimately wins the ...

Coshcast S9E19: Canada dominates the noisy neighbors

Canada beat the United States at home to all but clinch a spot at the Qatar World Cup, leave Greg Berhalter's jordans and the nation in disarray. Egypt surprise all to make it to the AFCON semis, can they go all the way? We talk about what was a crazy transfer deadline day. How's Donny going to get on with Dele Alli, what on earth is Aaron Ramsey doing and we find out how to ensure your child supports your favorite club. It's a roller coaster this one, get stuck in!

Coshcast S9E18: Vlahovic IN at Juventus and Nigeria OUT of Cameroon

The Premier League is on a break but thank the lord for Afcon, unless you're Nigerian that is. We discuss what has been the most fun international tournament over the last few years. In transfer news, Vlahovic to Juventus looks on and we try to understand how they've pulled this off and what crime Juventus may have committed in the process. We also dive into the previous weekend's Premier League action so sit back relax and enjoy yet another Coschast! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for m...

Coshcast S9E17: AFCON and transfer cons

Happy New Year! In our first pod back we dive right into it like Canadians into snowbanks (not a stereotype, we do celebrate goals this way). On the agenda today is AFCON, the racism, the comedy, the contenders. We also talk about Arsenal getting rid of players while claiming they don't have any due to COVID. Duncan now has the reigns at Everton but should it be Rooney? We don't have any answers but we do hope you can all tell us why Ousmane Dembele is allowed to play hardball with Barcelona. Al...

Coshcast S9E15: Champions League Rigging Exposed? (not really)

On this episode of the Coshcast we dive into the world of agents and how much they actually get paid. The Champions league draw happened...TWICE (insert pep gif) and we go over it with a fine toothed comb. We also dive (like Salah) into a penalty filled Premier League matchday and give you our thoughts as City, Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea all win thanks to the VAR and dodgy refereeing (allegedly). We laugh at Ralph H and Bielsa while Aubameyang being stripped of the captaincy gets some ser...

Coshcast S9E14: Smile, though your heart is aching

On this episode of the coshcast we discuss why Jack Grealish can't be happy at City. Salah isn't happy with his contract or his 7th place Ballon D'or finish. Arsenal are unhappy after two more losses under Arteta. Chelsea aren't happy after getting undone by Moyes' boys and Lukaku really doesn't look happy (we do hope he smiles again soon). Man United are a bit happier after pressing a bit to beat Palace but fans like Bernie are unhappy about Armas coming aboard. This episode may sound sad but w...

Coshcast S9E13: Ballon D'one with this s***

This week on the Coshcast, we welcome friend of the Pod Roy Olende @DonYayaaa to the pod. There was supposed to be a structure but it turned into a wonderfully organic football conversation. In this episode we talk Rangnick, Roy's kids not being interested in Arsenal, super heroes, travel bans and how they equate to Man United, Tomiyasu and AWB, robbery at the Ballon D'or and much more more. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Coshcast S9E11: #EVERYMANAGEROUT

It's been a solid week for sackings (except for Ole Gunnar Solksjaer). We discuss who should take the reins at Norwich and Villa (Gerrard?). We wonder whether Howe is the right man for the Newcastle sportswashing project. Conte's had an interesting start to Tottenham life but will he make them better? Ole is still at the wheel and we wonder why. Xavi is in at Barca (meh). Of course we round up the last Premier League weekend results as well. So as always, Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

Coshcast S9E10: Ole out but in, it's weird

Ole is on the way out but he's still in but will be out soon but in if he does well again. It's all very very odd and we discuss. Salah is the best in the world and we discuss again! Lukaku's goal drought seems to be an indication of his true premier league nature or is it too early to judge. We talk a little bit about the league cup, Messi and Zidane. Enjouy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Coshcast S9E9: The wheels are coming off

The wheels on the Ole bus are no longer going round and round. Bernie may finally have cracked and it's worth a listen. Arsenal aren't any better as Vieira reminds Gooners of the good old days and the current malaise all in one night. Kane is back apparently and Lukaku is back to his streaky best. Is Salah the best in the world on current form? Atletico might think so. Messi and Mbappe save PSG even though Mbappe managed to miss another penalty. We discuss the other Champions League games as wel...

Coshcast S9E8: Salah, their father!

Chelsea play the scrubs and win, United draw as Pastor Fred refuses to commit necessary violence. Arsenal and Brighton bore us to death, Leicester are back to being inconsequential...for now. Kylian Mbappe also needs to talk to a proper mentor because we think he's out of line. Find out why This episode is also a must listen if you want to fin...

Coshcast S9E7: A new Sheriff in town

We're back and never in our lives did we think we'd have to discuss law enforcement finally arresting Real Madrid but that's what happened as Sheriff from MOLDOVA beat the might Real Madrid. Messi and PSG win the fossil fuel derby thanks to old man Messi. Liverpool maul Porto which apparently represents an improvement for the Portuguese side. We also predict the Champions League games that haven't happened yet. What will Man United do vs Emery's men? Arsenal destroy Spurs in the north london der...

Coshcast S9E6: Tuchel's magic school bus

We recap the Premier League action and we mean ALL OF IT! Lots to discuss this week including Tuchel's Chelsea coast past Spurs like they weren't even there (in the second half at last). Pep's City stalling after calling for more fans to watch their team. United and West Ham play out a roller coaster match that of course ended with a Jesse Lingard narrative goal. Arsenal win, that's all. Liverpool cruise with their B team, should we be scared? Should Pochettino be scared of Messi after subbing h...

Coshcast S9E5: Two prodigal sons, two goals each

Romelu Lukaku returns home to Stamford Bridge, the crowd chants his name all day and he shows his appreciation by scoring two goals...and so did Cristiano Ronaldo. Saul has a forgettable debut while Bruno Fernandes doesn't want United fans to forget about him. City are a bit boring which isn't a good sign for the rest of the league. Mane fluffs his lines repeatedly as he tries to bring back the glory days of his goalscoring form as well as his hairline. While he struggles, Mohamed Salah joined t...

We also talk about the state of play in the Canadian Premier League, his favourite team Man City, Pep's blindspots, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane and a few other EPL quick hits. You can find ...

Coshcast S9E4: ViVAR Ronaldo?

On a weekend that saw Man Utd bring back the prodigal son to Old Trafford, premier league referees take the spotlight: Xhaka sees red as City steamroll Arsenal. Reece James does the same but Liverpool can't break down Tuchel's stubborn defense. Thanks to Mason Greenwood, Man United sneak past Wolves after surviving Adama Traore and a dodgy VAR call. We debate how real Spurs are this season as well as Messi's debut for PSG, the impact of THAT TRANSFER on Man United and what's up with Juventus and...

Coshcast S9E3: Lukaku leads the rhythmic blues past red faced Arteta

Big Rom shows Mari and Arsenal whose boss as Chelsea run rampant at the Emirates. Man United are held by Southampton as Martial's ballon d'or clause comes in to focus. Kyle Walker vs Reece James - we discuss (and make very little sense). Moyes' boys leave Brendan destroyed while Jota and Harvey Elliott steal the show for Liverpool as their good start (over two games, calm down everyone come on! lol) continues. Lastly, if Spurs sign Adama Traore is it another case of signing a player who just des...

We also discuss Lukaku to Chelsea, Grealish to City and what those mean for Harry Kane. Aston Villa have done some great transfer work that we dig into as well.

England didn't win The Euros and in the 120 minutes against Italy, Southgate couldn't find a way to end the national curse and in penalties it was Donnarumma and co who stood tallest. We discuss England's run, Mancini's redemption and the resulting racist fallout. Messi reaches the promised land by leading Argentina past Brazil in the most violent Copa America final we've seen in a long time. Tears everywhere and we send our congratulations to the Argentinian national team! We also answer some g...

The Euros went from casual watching to must see television in the blink of an eye. Span and Croatia gave us a game for the ages with 8 goals shared between the two. But as Morata overcame his slump for Spain, Kylian Mbappe sunk deeper into his as his penalty miss confirmed France's departure after Switzerland came back from the dead.

Euro 2020 has snuck up on us, even though it's a year late so we decided to fumble around and try to fill out a predictor bracket without any preparation. We think we did a great job so you should definitely listen us. We argue over the dark horse, the top scorer and if this England team can overcome its history of failure and deliver success.

Brendan Rodgers reaches the promised land (in England at least) by winning the FA Cup over Tommy Tuchel's Kepa flapping Chelsea.
