Second Captains Part II

It might've worked better if they did it during the off season, but right in the middle of the title race was a bit of a waste. The first one was good for a change. This was terribly boring.

Another cracking night of Champions League knockout matches...

A dual screen set-up a must rather than a luxury tomorrow night watch the competition Miguel gave the last rights to.

Listening to the first Tactical Nazi segment and poor Jon McKenzie is doing a great job explaining what these buzzwords even mean, they should get that lad on more often to talk about the real stuff, too.

In some defence of Miguel, the pairings have been absolutely perfect for individual games in this round, with each of the most evenly matched teams drawn together - with a different draw we could've very easily ended up with far more one-sided ties. Ultimately, the issue is that one whole side of the draw don't have much of a hope of winning the thing. Whoever of City and Madrid go forward (probably City, realistically) will be heavy enough faves.

I was listening to last weeks podcast today by accident, Eoin opens with "Spanish teams are back" after wins for barca and Atletico.

Real Madrid had 2 good games in the 2021/22 CL, PSG and the final few minutes of the City game. Otherwise, the CL was shite that year.

Liverpool trounced Villareal in the SF, City breezed by Sporting and had an incredibly dull QF against Athletico, Munich hammered Salzburg and then lost to a very poor Villareal in quite a boring 2 legs. If thats a good CL to you, fair enough, I thought it was incredibly boring. 2020/21 was the same, teams just winning comfortably.

This year has undoubtly been class. United in the group stage were fun to watch and the games in the knockout have been great.

This is a shite tie ? I think your standards are too high.

City getting knocked out was an all timer for the books. To say it was good for the last few minutes is downplaying it incredibly. Thought it was a good year.

well it produced a good audio bed anyway

Thank god I'm not alone in disliking Monday's pod. At least they laughed about it and read out responses in today's pod! As one of the emails said, it should not have been a Monday pod, especially after significant results in the title race. I feel like Arsenal and Liverpool slipping up at the weekend was barely talked about.

That Twitter guy is going to be so mad/so happy tonight that he was right/wrong about positionism

Don’t ruin the surprise for me, I haven’t finished Tactical Nazis Part 1 yet

I guess PSG were the only bookies favorites to go through and even then I’m not sure

After the Monday debacle and two GAA pods in a row, back on form today, fair play to whoever called them out on the "phone it in Friday" podcasts 😛

Yeah, they couldn’t even be bothered turning up tomorrow to do the TV guide!

Nor on his previous one a few weeks back too. It must be related to him becoming a solicitor
