Ball Game Times

In this episode of the podcast, Basel and Mubarak dive into Liverpool's end of the season run-in, Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour, and of course, their Premier League title chances. We share our thoughts, predictions, and discuss what this means for the team's future.

In the first of our World Cup series, Mubarak links up with old pal and Manchester City fan Daniel. They discuss Louis Vuitton breaking the internet, Qatar 2022 World Cup, that CR7 interview +more.

We kick things off with the small matter of Bas joining last week’s “Best Goal Celebrations” trail with a shout out to Emmanuel Adebayor for that infamous celebration against Arsenal.

Then on to Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool becoming a bit of a heated European rivalry; some much deserved flowers for Mo Salah and plenty of slide tackles for Harry Maguire and Ole Gunnar Solskjær ahead of Sunday’s box office Northwest Derby.

There’s also some FPL advice for Lukaku owners and a little chat about Newcastle’s growing popularity in Saudi Arabia.. and much more.

This episode was recorded earlier in the week but publishing has been a too difficult as we've been in too much of a shock from hearing about the unrest affecting the country of the majority of our listener-base.

No search-engine-keyword thing this time. Just urging everyone tuning in from outside of Nigeria to educate yourself about the situation and lend a supportive hand if you can.

Prayers up our Naija family. Please continue to stay safe and away from trouble.

Big Love. ❤️💙
