There is also plenty of keeper talk, including the weekly requirement to say one nice thing about Zamudio.The episode also branches out into bigger soccer territory, with Colton Swan transfer talk, Arsenal and Manchester City banter, Ryan’s Wolves corner, and the future of Cannon Crüe expanding beyond just Battery coverage.Also included: Temu Pep, Temu Haaland, cheap Battery tickets, season-ticket-holder pain, Copenhagen confusion, balcony scouting with bullhorns, and the official rebrand nobody asked for: Joey Crüe.Up the Battery.Charleston Battery’s recent defensive strugglesTwo red cards in two matchesThe team’s lack of a clear on-field captainJoey as a possible leadership figureGraham Smith’s captaincy caseSean Suber’s confusing lack of consistent minutesWhether Ben Pirmann needs more sideline fireZamudio’s inconsistency and the “one nice thing” ruleColton Swan’s rumored move to ScotlandArsenal taking apart Manchester City“Temu Pep” and “Temu Haaland”Wolves and the Championship perspectiveUpcoming Battery match against MiamiSeason-ticket-holder grumbling over cheap walk-up tickets
