Kicking Balls Podcast

We're back! It's been a while, but we have plenty to discuss in whether this is the prem's most boring season in ages, the UWCL final (and if Arsenal has a chance) and the absolute meltdown we've seen Real Madrid have in the last week or so.

We discuss the state of the premier league about 2/3's done, who's defintely going down, will arsenal catch liverpool with their recent stumbles? And how much does a city fan actually care about going out of the champions league.

Arsenal v Man City (mens and womens) reactions! Some other stuff too.

City and Arsenal chat per usual. Lots happening in WOSO, and with the end of the first year of the UCL's new "league" phase, we try to sort out if it fixed a problem, made one worse, or did nothing at all really.

City is meh, Arsenal is a little less meh but still meh. We talk about some transfers, Naomi Girma, and Katya makes a case for City fans to co-opt a Philadelphia Sports song

neither of us are ending 2024 on quite the footballing note we hoped we would, but don't worry, our teams being (maybe??) bad doesn't stop the good vibes! 2024's womens soccer retirements, the sad state of city and the sad (?) state of arsenal? Plus how to find joy when your team is losing (spoilers: watch the women's team)

the prem's latest, Katya's trip to the Etihad, and the continual woes of Mbappe at Madrid

A very stream of consciousness discussion on the troubles at real madrid, man city and arsenal, the success at barca, and the womens game more generally.

The prem did some stuff! Also Real Madrid made it their goal to be extremely embarrassing all weekend and they succeeded!! Also!! Rodri!!! is the Ballon Dor Winner!!!! Football wins.

A few weeks off and now we're back! The latest in the prem, the WSL, and the new UCL format continues to raise questions.

City and Arsenal both men and women played this week! We are still friends somehow! Plus: Barca's hot streak, Rodri's injury and more.

UCL is back! And worse than ever!! Plus - latest in the premier league, and will the players eventually go on strike over fixture congestion??

Prem week 3! Also the ballon d'or snubs (many). Alex Morgan also retired but she announced it after we recorded so we know but it'll be discussed next episode lol.

A week late but the big Premier League Preview is here. 20 pages of research and a big long episode - we talk all 20 teams in the premier league, who they brought in, who they left out, and what we think their season is going to look like after having watched week 1! As usual, some unhinged predictions, as well as some genuine analysis. And most Importantly: Judging the Kits!

Miedema's at City, Macario is out of the Olympics, and Berhlater is (finally) out at the USMNT. PLUS: Copa and Euro Quarters and Semis - and a preview of the respective finals

We're back! A planned hiatus and we're back just in time for the last gasp of the run in. We're covering the proposed salary cap in the prem, the UCL semi's and the upcoming final, and of course, the state of the title race in the Prem and the WSL.
