Episode 49: Super Headass

The Banter Pub FC Podcast

Un. Uno. Eins. Een. Bir. Wahid. Otu. Moja. Eyodwa. One.
One more episode until our vaunted 50th appearance for The Banter Pub FC and this episode is probably the one that gets us sued, to tell you the truth. Seriously, there were no punches pulled and it was no holds barred from El Capitan Neal, Adam, Jonathan, and Joseph this week. The lads dig into the entire European Super League fiasco. Virtually every stone was overturned in this episode, recalling everything from the initial reaction to the announcement of the Super League's so-called 'founding clubs' to a critical discussion about what this latest attempt to further commodify the beautiful game means for supporters and players going forward.
The fellas get everything off their chests and out in the open here, including a conversation that supplements Jonathan's must-read essay linking the crisis of capitalism to the manifestation of the Super League. No owner, club, or corrupt official were spared in the recording of this episode. Neither were the bootlickers who supported the idea. You get what we're trying to say here, right? All the discretion advised here. Feelings will be hurt, laughs will be had, tears will be shed, mountains will crumble, seas will roar... this episode is a journey.
So press play and brace yourself for a thorough unpacking of the European Super League controversy. Brought to you by six of the realest in the game.
The Pub Awaits.
