CoshCast – Under The Cosh

This week we dive into the best Afcon we've had in years. All the North African teams are gone! What does this mean for African football today and can Nigeria handle the pressure?

How do you solve a problem like Marcus Rashford? Is he even a problem? What should he do?

Are Arsenal progressing? Are they still exciting?

Is there a refereeing conspiracy to bring hand Klopp a title in his Liverpool swansong?

There's also a bit of Saudi league slander which we apologize for but we wonder if it's how Karim Benzema felt.

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?).

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.

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 well as discuss a great travel location....Iceland.

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 him off even though it lead to PSG winning? Should Allegri fear the sack at Juventus?

Oh brother, this is an action packed episode (aren't they all), so as always dig in!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 the 100 club as the race for the golden boot officially heats up. Tanganga has a case of the red mist and then some, wow!

The pod then strays into strange territory like Ted Lasso and positive Arsenal talk (just kidding) but all in all as always, there's a lot of laughs, banter and this is one you must listen to. As always, enjoy!

This week we realized there was an international break but decided to put out a pod for you all anyway. We're delighted to be joined by one of the brightest young minds in Canadian football coaching, Cameron Herbert. Cam tells us about his philosophy, how he got into coaching and where the future will take him. 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 cameron on twitter @camH__

It's a good one and we hope you enjoy!

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 La Liga.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 destroyed your fullbacks a la O'shea and Ronaldo in 03? We bloody well think so.

It's here, it's beautiful, it's the Coshcast.

The league is back, the players are back to doing to bits, managers are back saying nonsense and the fans are back chanting good and bad things. Also, goals from long throws are back as well.

United thrash Leeds, Grealish is brought down to earth repeatedly by Tanganga, Chelsea roll, Liverpool stroll while Brentford show how bad Arsenal are and West Ham win Saint-Maximin proving he can be a star. It's all here so lace up your boots and listen up!

Messi leaves Barcelona for Paris St. Germain. C'est vraiment difficile pour l'autre equipes en france et le monde. Alex and Bernie dig in to the details. 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. We end with a quick premier league top 4 and relegation prediction as the new season is finally upon us. Enjoy!

This is a special transfer window round up episode and we also discuss Canada's attempt to win Olympic football gold (our apologies to any Scandinavian women out there).

We've got all this and more so make sure you listen up and as always ENJOY!

Here we go! Manchester United have agreed a deal with Real Madrid for Rafael Varane. With Sancho signed, we talk about this new sense of competence at Old Trafford. We answer the quesions, ho is Albert Sami Lokonga and what do Arsenal need to get back into...the europa league. We talk about the other transfer stories going on around Europe and debate who was better Totti, Rooney or Del Piero.

Enjoy!

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 great twitter questions, so please keep them coming! Thank you

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.

We run through the other Euro games including Portugal's demise at Belgium's expense, Italy's chances and throw cold water on the Netherlands.There's also talk about transfers, the lottery, jollof rice and much much more. It's all here, so enjoy.

This episode of the Coshcast might be the greatest rollercoaster of a podcast you'll ever listen to and it's worth every single minute. We cover:

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Euro 2020 +1 has officially kicked off and so far its been decent background content. As always, we answer the most critical questions:

Is it coming home?

Who has the best kit and why is it Slovakia?

Why did Mohaned choose Turkey as his dark horse team and why did Bernie pick Poland?

What should UEFA do moving forward in emergency health situations?

We also have an extended Q&A segment where grocery stores, teslas and much more are the topic of discussion.

If you love us and just want to hear us talk about Omani football, listen after the end credits.

Grazie!

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. For once, we might actually agree on the winner. As always, we hope you enjoy, and if you do please share, review and subscribe.

Tuchel reaches the promised land by being competent, in stark contrast to Pep Guardiola. Should Kante or Lewandowski win the Ballon D'or? Unai is inevitable as Villlareal outlast a hapless Man United to win the Europa League.

We also hand out Premier League awards. Yes we discuss the best player, best goal etc but who has the most punchable face, the best and worst hairstyles and which team has the best kit.

It's all here on another sensational coshcast.

Aguero signs off his time as a City and premier league legend with a brilliant final day brace. Arsenal finish top 4...this calendar year while Leicester bottle their top 4 hopes. Chelsea and Liverpool find themselves in the champions league further justifying the Super League (SIKE). Nuno signs off losing to United's academy team (haha).

On the continent. Juve UNDESERVEDLY make into the Champions league spots...without Ronaldo. Lille show that good can triumph over evil by winning Ligue 1 over PSG and Atleti prevent a huge bottle job by winning La Liga and tears flow all over the plains in Spain.

Not Mane, not Salah (though he scored earlier), not Firmino, not Jota and most definitely not Thiago. It was Allison who saved the day for Liverpool and put top 4 in mersey hands.

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

Premier League champions Man City enjoy a wild Torres fueled win over a resurgent Newcastle and Everton return to mediocrity is confirmed by defeat to Sheffield United reserves.

Elsewhere La Liga went back and forth like a see saw with Suarez saving Atleti's title push. Lille couldn't close out Ligue 1 and have one more chance to put PSG and Poch in the mud. Serie A had some serious Calciopolli vibes as Juve squeaked out a vital win over Inter while Milan faltered and are now in jeopardy.

It's all happening on an action packed Coshcast!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City's title celebration was put on hold as Sergio Aguero's awkward panenka and the state of English officiating give Chelsea victory in the champions league final dress rehearsal. United come back...again to win away from home...again with a Bruno Fernandes penalty to boot...again. Willian scores a goal, yes you read that right. Will Liverpool sneak into the top 4 at Leicester's expense? Can Pirlo the sommelier drag Juventus into the top 4 (what a question)? We show Atalanta some love as well. VIVA Lille! (Is this a thing?). If you make it to the end you'll hear the first of many conversations on the Champions League final. Let's do this!

On this episode of the coshcast :

Alex and Mohaned explain the protests at Old Trafford to help the uninformed. We review the premier league action that did happen and Mo says this about a certain player: "I don't know you like that." Antonio Conte gets his credit for FINALLY breaking Juventus' stranglehold on the Scudetto. Sevilla drop out out the La Liga race as Messi's last dance impression continues and we also look forward to the conclusion of Champions League semi finals.

This was recorded before Jose got the Roma job, banter about that will happen next week so make sure you subscribe!

Manchester City ease and we mean ease, their way to another Carabao cup final against Ryan Mason's (yes Ryan Mason) Tottenham leaving Son in tears...again. It's squeaky bum time in the premier league as the top 4 race is almost too close too call. Speaking of too close to call, the title race in La Liga is unpredictable as four teams can win it, who will win it and why Sevilla? Serie A is wrapped but the top 4 race there is also electric. We predict the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals and of course we talk about the Premier League Hall of Fame!

Emergency pod alert! It's the biggest day in football for years. The Super League is dead! Chelsea fans protest and the blues withdraw. The Sky blues followed suit leading the reds of Manchester, London and Liverpool to follow suit. Tottenham who begrudgingly wave the lily white flag as well. Ed Woodward paid for his crimes as Man United chief executive and resigned amidst the fallout. What will happen to the Madrids, Barcelona, the Milans and Juve? We'll find out and we ask, where do we go from here?

It's a celebration so listen up to the pod but also listen to our celebratory Spotify playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1e3l1rw9sQK8cPfY5e3Lwe?si=1E7M-04HRpiSfdDLhVtKUQ RIP the super league!

Nothing else matters. Not that Man United beat Burnley, not that Leicester and Chelsea are going to the FA Cup Final, not that Atleti won to stay in control of La Liga, not that Juve may not make the top 4. Not even Jose getting sacked matters. Why? Because of the freakin Super League! The evil Super League! The anti competition Super League. We fume, we laugh and we definitely complain a lot on this episode of the Coshcast. Enjoy (but it doesn't matter).

A good father must feed their children. Well Spurs played like a hungry child abused by their parent. The parent in this case being Ole's Man United who spanked spurs 3-1. Leeds pull off the ultimate catenaccio performance against Man City winning 2-1 and finally beating a good side. Liverpool win at home...finally! Arsenal win a game but confuse their supporters in the process. Chelsea wreck Palace as the Havertz false 9 experiment bears fruit. We also talk El Clasico, give Karim Benzema his flowers and predict the Champions League second leg fixtures. This is a big episode, so grab some bread and cheese and enjoy! The Coshcast is better on a full stomach anyway.

We interrupt our regular programming to bring you a special Coshcast interview with Jonathan Grade author of 'Golazzo The Football Italia Years.' The book is a trip down memory lane discussing the glory years of Serie A and Jonathan's personal journey working behinds the scenes with James Richardson and the others on the show Football Italia.

This is a great conversation and a must listen for Serie A lovers. Enjoy!

Spurs do something that no other big team has been able to do, make Newcastle look competent. Liverpool beat Arsenal causing many to wonder if Arteta has what it takes. Big Sam revels in beating up a foreigner as West Brom disgrace Chelsea. Man City make Leicester look ordinary as the end of the Aguero era is upon us. Solksjaer delivers a hairdryer as Man United come back to beat Brighton as Danny "Narrative" Welbeck attempted to steal the show.

We don't like international breaks on the Coshcast, but we do like trivia. So, we had our own trivia pod hosted by the wonderful Luca Capone. Luca is a Canadian radio host, music afficionado and Serie A maestro. This is not for the weak, it's a serious globe trotting, quiz that will also take you through the history books.

Leicester dump Man United out of the FA Cup and who is to blame, Fred, Maguire, the manager? Iheanacho finally comes up with the goods and Brendan deserves credit. Arsenal and West Ham give us a great advert for the premier league or do they? Messi cares again and Barca are back in the title race we didn't even think was on. Should Kane have left a few years ago? We dive in.

It's another great one. Enjoy!
