Episode 68: The United & The Restless

The Banter Pub FC Podcast

Did you miss us?
Oh, who are we kidding? OF COURSE, YOU MISSED US. Bet you thought we were done out here, ha? Bet you thought we weren't staying low and building, ha? Bet you thought we disbanded, ha? Bet you thought we weren't for real when we said we're a goddamn family out here, ha? Don't get us wrong... we're still paper chasing. We're also the sinister septuplet podcasting arsonists keeping the block on fire. That's right. Forever remaining the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch until the moment we expire. You know what it is: making nothing out of something, handling biz, and don't be cryin' and sufferin'.

It's the m*th*rf*ck*ng World's Greatest Podcast™©® The Banter Pub FC; back to reopen that time capsule that we kept on standby just in case life started doing life things to the crew, individually and collectively. Look... just because we haven't released anything in a minute doesn't mean we didn't keep to our regular recording schedule. We figured, y'know, maybe it was time you heard what we've been discussing behind closed doors. Maybe we wanted to remind you all who the best damn football podcast in the world is. Maybe we're getting back on our bullshit.
Huge if true. Wink, wink.
Let's get straight to it. Recorded 13 January 2022, Rosler takes hosting duties as El Capitan Neal, Ama, Jonathan, and Joseph go Around The Pitch touching on high drama in Serie A, Supercoppa Italiana, Premier league, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Bundesliga, and a spot of AFCON where we preview our special AFCON episodes entitled For Africans Only (also known as FAO). The lads cruise into the Main Segment, where they condemn and analyze the moment Australian footballer Josh Cavallo was subjected to homophobic abuse during an A-League match between Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory. It goes without saying that The Pub stands with LGBTQIA people in the game -- footballers, fans, supporters, staff. Nevertheless, we're saying it anyway and we stand in solidarity with Josh. Finally, BPFC switches gears to Extra Time where we do the usual: sixty (60) seconds to talk about something that moved each of our respective hosts; with The Father of All Fathers Ama leading off.
In the great words of our very own Adam (via Timbaland), it's been a long time. We shouldn't have left you with some hot takes to step to. The best in the world is back, no CM Punk. Press play, strap in, and brace yourself.
The Pub Awaits.
