Schrodinger’s Ball

Note: This episode has been recorded just following the FA Cup Final result.  (So please excuse the speculation before Pep Guardiola departure news)   We are joined again by a friend of the pod; Yashraj to discuss Man City's FA Cup Triumph We discuss the amazing finish by Antoinne Semenyol, 2 brilliant stops by helmet wearing Rob Sanchez and the 2 penalty calls for Khusanov's tackles on Joao Pedro and Jorrel Hato. Man City have done the domestic double.    We also speculate the future of Pep (which is unfortunately clear after Fabrizio Romano's announcement) and if Man City can clinch the title with where the challenge lies in the next 2 games of this season.  Finally we discuss why Bruno deserves the PFA POTY and can Cherki or Nico O'Reily win the PFA YPOTY award this year.    Hosts: Chinmay and Raj Guest: Yashraj

We are back for an episode covering the Gameweek 35 and 36 games covering the United vs Liverpool; Liverpool vs Chelsea games, United vs Sunderland draw and Chelsea's loss to Nottingham Forest. Other topics covered include; Slot getting booed at Anfield, David Ornstein reporting Chelsea and Alonso positive talks, Bruno winning the prestigious Football Writer's Association Award beating Rice and Haaland and the controversial VAR call leading to Arsenal winning against West Ham and Barcelona retaining their La Liga title in style on an el-classico night and Rashford's move to Barca getting stuck in haggling. Hosts: Sanket, Raj and Chinmay

We mark the #50 episode with our biggest guest ever. We invite Neha Anand a popular sportscaster, actor and avid Manchester United supporter.  We record this episode at the precipice of Manchester United completing a double (a win at Anfield and Old Trafford) against their arch rivals Liverpool. We discuss the grit and determination in the performance, the positive impact Michael Carrick's coaching has had on this team and how UCL football is a gamechanger for this team. We also address the expectations with squad building, replacing a behemoth like Casemiro, rewarding the magnifico with a major honor at Manchester United and why Carrick has done everything right to earn this job. Host: Sanket Guest: Neha Dinesh Anand (Instagram: @nehadineshanand)

We record this episode on the weekend as Liverpool showed their ruthless side in breaking Crystal Palace's back at Anfield and Chelsea finally score a goal against PL opposition after a 5 game drought. We also preview the Liverpool - Manchester United derby with both clubs gearing for securing Top 5 finishes. Chelsea faces Nottingham Forest who will be facing Villa in the Europa League. There is also the matter of UCL games between PSG and Bayern Munich and Atletico and Arsenal. Hosts: Raj and Chinmay

This podcast focuses on the Premier League fixtures with United resiliently holding a 0-1 lead vs a helter-skelter Chelsea who failed to register a single big chance with 21 shots attempted, almost solidifying United's place in the Champions League next year with Bruno registering another assist. The Chelsea decline hit a tipping point when they showed at Amex Stadium with no tactical know-how, no intent to defend or press and what was evident to owners is that Rosenior had to be sacked following this result. We discuss potential replacements, while understanding that the process is still in incubation stage. Everton lost to their Merseyside rivals owing to a spectacular assist by Cody Gakpo to Salah and VVD scoring a clutch header to earn all 3 points. London clubs seem to be in a bad phase currently where Spurs conceded a late goal to Brighton getting a draw and Haaland and Cherki's finishes were enough to earn City all 3 points and taking a lead for the first time in the Title Race in its last few yards. Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket

We discuss the fixtures in GW 31 and GW 32, where Chelsea lost to Everton and Manchester City conceding 6 goals and scoring 0. The only positive result midweek was the thumping win against Port Vale where Chelsea scored 7. Chelsea now faces Leeds United in the FA Cup Semi-final and United in the League at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United has received 2 unusual red cards with Maguire and Lisandro suspended for the Chelsea game. Manchester United came flat footed against Leeds in 1st half awarding them an Okafor brace with impressive pressing. Bruno notched another assist but unfortunately left Old Trafford with 0 points. Liverpool have had a tumultous week where PSG eliminated Liverpool from UCL Quarter finals and City eliminated Liverpool from FA Cup after pumping 4 goals. A ray of hope in securing Top 5 came when young Rio inspired a win against Fulham We also discuss the spicy fixtures with Atletico Madrid and Bayern eliminate Barcelona and Real Madrid from the Quarter Final. We discuss how one side of the SF is protagonists and the other side contains more pragmatic teams

We welcome Yashraj, an avid Man City fan to our latest episode to discuss the tail end of this season where City was expected to fight on multiple fronts under Guardiola's leadership.  We cover their UCL exit versus an apparently weakened Real Madrid, the emphatic EFL cup victory denying Mikel Arteta yet another trophy. Finally Raj the Liverpool fan previews the FA Cup quarter-final tie v/s Manchester City this Saturday. Host: Raj Guest: Yashraj

We invite Chayan or Football Frenzy (@footballxfrenzy777) a Chelsea fan and a content creator on Instagram and Youtube. He shares his story on why he supports the Blues and what is his fondest memory supporting the club. We host an intense 1-on-1 conversation with Chayan to discuss the current state of the club. We start with the new coach changes and our verdict on Maresca and Rosenior now. We also discuss the dip in form since UCL exit, Enzo Fernandez rumors. Finally we discuss and present 2 views on the ownership. The host presents a more soft view on BlueCo while the guest discusses why this is an untenable situation.  Host: Chinmay Guest: Chayan

In this episode we cover the PL games in GW 30 and the RO16 Leg 2 for Chelsea and Liverpool We start off with Liverpool getting held at a frustrating draw against Spurs at Anfield as despite the massive attacking talent in Liverpool, their only goal was scored a Dominik Szoboszalai Free Kick which rolled over Vicario's fingers in the goal. The Hungarian has broken Liverpool's record for most direct FKs by a single player in the league. Raj questions Slot's decision to play Frimpong at RW and Szoboszalai at RB eventually leading to Richarlison getting a free run in the Liverpool box for the equalizer. However he lays the major chunk of blame on Liverpool's attack. We also discuss what made Liverpool be so good against Galatasaray smashing 4 goals past the Turkish Giants, who could have even conceded more We also discuss the misery Chelsea has been inflicted with in both Champions League and the League as Newcastle beat Chelsea with a simple goal at Stamford Bridge and PSG widen the scoreline to finish off Chelsea. Chinmay raises major doubts over the future of Liam Rosenior. We also briefly touch the United vs Aston Villa game where Bruno gave 2 assists, the 2nd one to Cunha being absolutely world class and securing a relatively straightforward win vs the Villians. Aston Villa is on the brink of collapse in the league. There is a discussion if Bruno can rise up in the Balon'dor odds if he plays well for Portugal in the World Cup Hosts: Raj, Chinmay, Sanket    

We all have our woes to share this week.  Chelsea began March with a bang beating Aston Villa convincingly at Villa Park with Joao Pedro getting his first Premier League hattrick. There was a scare on the weekend as Wrexham nearly dragged Chelsea into a scary scoreline in Extra Time. Chelsea lacked creativity in their B-squad as the team somehow got over the line. The real shock came on Wednesday as PSG avenged Chelsea with a 20-minute sucker punch finishing the home time 5-2 with a mountain to climb for Chelsea Liverpool also had a mixed week with 20th place Wolverhampton Wanderers beating the champions at Molineux with a 2-1 score despite a Salah goal. Liverpool thrashed the same Wolves in FA Cup with an inspiring performance by Rio Ngumhoa and Andy Robertson United and Carrick finally face a loss as 10 men Newcastle beat United at St. James's Park with a difficult goal by Will Osula. United has been dragged back in the Top 4/5 race due to this result. Finally we discuss how this week has bought the English coefficient considered to be very comfortable as Spain and Germany make good progress. This is especially jarring since Barcelona and PSG both have their weekend games moved whereas the UCL opponents in Chelsea and Newcastle face off on Saturday. Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket

We welcome Johnny back on the pod to discuss the major talking points related to Chelsea: Joao Pedro's amazing form Villa win Red cards Burnley and Leeds draw Palmer injury woes or something else Maresca's sacking Liam Rosenior's huge momentum shift FA Cup; PSG UCL Preview Host: Chinmay Guest: Johnny   

We discuss the GW 28 fixtures; Chelsea lose to Arsenal's Set-piece routines. Some other topics of discussion include Reece James being such a contrast to his teammates in handling big-game pressure. The shambolic red-card record, Palmer's lack of form and why Chelsea could lose out on Champions League spots in 2026-27. We also discuss Liverpool thrashing West Ham with amazing second ball retrieval in set-plays; a factor that made the side the domineering force in 2024-25 season. We praise Ekitike and Szoboszalai for being the players leading the charge. We also discuss the fact that West Ham is generating chances, but their record on defending is poor to survive relegation when compared to Nottingham Forest and Leeds.  We discuss Manchester United's win against Palace leading to the team now being 3rd in the table. We praise the immense mentality shown by the team to not give up and get a win against tough sides like Crystal Palace and Everton. Hosts: Chinmay, Sanket and Raj

We record this episode to discuss a good-old Premier League week. Though the week was highlighted by Arsenal stomping over Spurs again in the NLD, we had changes in the race for Champions League, with Liverpool equaling Chelsea's point total with a win against Forest at City Ground with a winner scored by Mcallister in extra time. Chelsea meanwhile dropped a point to Burnley after they had the numerical advantage following a rash red card for Wes Fofana. Overall we discuss why the performance looked so dull by Chelsea against the 19th team at Stamford Bridge. We also preview the Arsenal game on the weekend. Manchester United make it 10 games in a row where Sesko scores another goal off the bench. Other notable performers include Casimiro, Yoro and Lammens.  Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket

We meet on the evening when Chelsea and Liverpool are both through to the 5th round of the FA Cup. We also discuss the PL results from midweek where Chelsea and Manchester United broke their winning streaks against Leeds and West Ham United. We admonish Chelsea's poor defence when they let a 2-0 lead at 70' wither away and praise Sesko for the point earned by an improvised finish. We also discuss Liverpool beating Sunderland at the Stadium of Light emphatically, as a result of very good finish by Virgil Van Djik. We also discuss Chelsea comfortably beating Hull City and Liverpool beating Brighton in FA Cup, with Pedro Neto getting his 1st senior hattrick and Szoboszalai stepping up big time as his suspension got cut down to 1 game following his red card against Manchester City Some other topics discussed include Arsenal dropping points to Brentford; Spurs sacking Frank; Forest sacking Sean Dyche. Guests: Raj and Chinmay

We record a weekly episode discussing the Liverpool and Chelsea games at Anfield and Molineux where Liverpool lost the game with a few controversial ref calls despite a peach of a knuckleball penalty yet again at Anfield by Szoboszalai. We discuss why the red card is so detrimental to Liverpool's Top 4 and FA Cup ambitions. For the Chelsea game, we finally saw the yearly Palmer 1st half hattrick as he becomes the first player in Premier League to have 3 of them. We also discuss the poor 2nd half and Chinmay shares his worries about Delap and Garnacho and why Santos and Caicedo are so important in games Chelsea seems bad Guests: Chinmay, Sanket and Raj

This was a long due episode after the insane turnaround in Manchester United's form! We invite Akshat Arora, a known guest for our United listeners. Akshat is Mancunian who lives and breathes everything Manchester United having met Amorim, Wilcox and other key figures in United's staff.  We discuss a tranche of topics from how well has Amorim's sacking transpired, Bruno showing his 2019-20 levels, Casemiro turning haters to fans, Mbuemo and Cunha showing why they were bought and Kobbie rightly earning his place in the starting 11. Akshat and Sanket share their views on why Carrick can't be a long term appointment especially if the options post 2026 summer include Tuchel, Nagelsmann and Enrique.  Finally we also discuss some trivia questions to get some zinger takes from Akshat. Guests: Akshat Arora (ig: akshat18arora) Hosts: Raj and Sanket  

We discuss the crazy scenes at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge as Chelsea and Manchester United both manage to turn the game in the last minutes. We discuss how brilliantly Bruno created the chance at the end. We also discuss how Rosenior seems to always get his subs right as Chelsea completed a full comeback from being 0-2 down at HT. We discuss how Fofana, Cucurella and JP all got their goal contribution from the bench. Finally we discuss how Liverpool get a rarely emphatic win at Anfield as they thrashed Newcastle with a Ekitike brace and an amazing performance by the likes of Macallister, Szoboszalai and Wirtz. They also capped it up with a Ibu Konate goal which was celebrated emotionally.  We also remunarate on why Chelsea and Arsenal have a big gap between the teams in terms of squad quality and game model.  Guests: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket

We discuss this episode at the precipice of the end of a hard-fought UCL group stage from a Liverpool and Chelsea perspective. We had a crazy PL GW 23 weekend seeing Liverpool losing to B'mouth and Chelsea thrashing a depleted Crystal Palace squad. The highlight was of course Carrick's 3rd game in charge seeing United beat Arsenal at the Emirates.  We also discuss the Champions League campaigns for Liverpool and Chelsea where we had Liverpool showing a completely different version in Europe when compared to their domestic form. Chelsea too have managed to clinch some key victories in their campaign beating Barcelona and Napoli on their way.  There were a lot of stats and records being broken this weekend. Chelsea being the youngest team to qualify for UCL QF in last 10 years. VVD being the first defender to assist 3 goals, Napoli losing their first game in 20 at home in Europe and of course the highlight which saw the Special one's Benfica clinch the last playoffs spot with a goal by Trubin. Hosts: Raj and Chinmay

We are getting back to regular weekly episodes; GW 22 kicked off to a surprising thrashing of Man City on their visit to Old Trafford. We discuss the ruthless counter-attacks; dropping Matheus Cunha and the controversial referring calls to disallow Mount's goal and not handing a red card to Dalot.  Liverpool unfortunately did concede a single goal after a consistent barrage of attacks against Burnley which only resulted in a goal by Wirtz and an unfortunate penalty miss by Szoboszalai. The draw raises concerns over Liverpool's playing style, OOP intensity and defense.  Chelsea won a bogeyman fixture which has resulted in the underdog Brentford often thrashing them at home. Brentford came with the same energy and created 3-4 clear chances but unfortunately the Chelsea net remained untouched due to the heroics of Sanchez and important OOP contributions by Caicedo, Palmer, Enzo and JP. We also discuss the Garnacho brace and Rosenior trying to coach Robert Sanchez into playing a sweeper keeper and if it will lead to some horror moments like the chances conceded against Arsenal. We provide some thoughts on FPL; Bruno is becoming too much of a pick-me at this point and maybe Harry Wilson has had his Christmas spurt of goal contributions finally coming to an end. We also discuss if JP is a good inclusion in an FPL squad. And why Dorgu is a great asset.    Hosts: Raj, Sanket and Chinmay

In the second part of the Midseason Review, we discuss the state of affairs at Manchester United. We discuss the Amorim sacking (whether justified or not?), lack of midfielder option, lack of creative WBs, Bruno being played in the 6/8 role. We also discuss if Manchester United should hire a coach or a manager. We discuss transfer opportunities: Baleba vs Anderson vs Wharton Sesko vs Watkins vs Gyokeres Gallagher and Neves short term options Guests: Ritin and Yash Hosts: Chinmay and Sanket

In this episode we evaluate the positions of Chelsea and Liverpool at GW 21. In the short Chelsea section at the start, we discuss the appointment of Rosenior and what Chinmay expects from their new coach, including some eyebrow raising factors like him citing Rooney as his managerial inspiration and how he was a MUFC fan as a kid and how the squad is prepared to take up his football For the LFC section with Ritin and Divya bhai, where we look at Slot's tenure as the Liverpool manager following a historic title win in 2025. We discuss the interesting scenario in which the club lies after a heavy spend in the transfer window and why the football has become so dross. We also discuss some positives about very difficult to beat tactics by Slot in important games and how he has a very solid idea for his football. We also touch on the controversial yellow card to Martinelli for a rough shove to Bradley while he lied clutching his knees. Hosts: Sanket and Chinmay Guests: Divya, Ritin and Yash

We are recording this episode on the eve of a historically bad evening for Manchester United as for the first time since 1995-96 Manchester United will only play 40 games, the minimum possible number of games a PL club can play.  We are joined by Akshat, a Mancunian and an RCB fan who has attended matches, met Berrarda & Wilcox and is there to share his frustration with the way the club has been ran. He shares his views on Amorim, why was this a bad time for a sack and why the interim choice a forced error due to poor leadership at the board level.  We also discuss the fated choice between Carrick and Ole and who out of Enrique, RdZ, Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Ancelotti, Maresca or Pochettino can lead this project after June.

We are happy to release our most exotic episode as we take a break from sackings, depressing results and look at an inspirational journey of a content creator from our hometown "Pune". Chaitanya (fondly known as Saadhamanus or his freestyling moniker ThePuneFreestyler) is a man with many hats. Relatable content, spreading social awareness and inspiring Indian footballers to pursue a career in freestyling. We also address how the content creation landscape has changed with newer mediums.  We discuss how he started learning tricks, meeting ex-pros like Kaka, Drogba, Casillas, Messi, Suarez, Pirlo and Bekham and how surreal he feels meeting them. We also discuss why he connects with Cristiano Ronaldo's career. He addresses the negative side of content creation with online hate, controversies and how CR7 motivates him to keep at it. We ask his opinions about the Piers Morgan interview. We discuss CR7 and Portugal's WC ambitions. Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket Guest: Chaitanya

We discuss the tensions that led to this. Was he right? wrong? The Man City and Juventus angle. The medical staff intervening in lineups and substitutes.  We also discuss who is setup to replace him. Is it the star-studded Jose Mourinho or a complete neophyte like Liam Rosenior. Stay to listen to our thoughts   Music by: Raj Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket Edited by: Chinmay

In the final episode of 2025, we bring to table an unique perspective from a Newcastle United fan (@theindiangeordie) based in Canada. Kanishk shares his journey on how he became a Newcastle United fan and also shares his thoughts on the transfer saga around the club, which often hurt him as a fan.  We also discuss the games where Liverpool beat a 10-man (which eventually became a 9-man Tottenham Hotspurs team) where Liverpool had both their strikers Isak and Ekitike being clinical in key moments as Florian Wirtz got his first official goal contribution in the Premier League. We also discuss how a United side who failed to get anything from Aston Villa at Villa park, where 2 Morgan Rogers curlers set their fate. We also discuss the Bruno injury and Lisandro in the CMF role. Finally we discuss Chelsea's performance against Newcastle at St. James's Park where it was a game of 2 halves and how points were shared. We discuss the Chalobah penalty call and how Newcastle often collapses their leads in the 2nd half. We discuss Woltemade's wonder strike and Reece James's free kick.

Host: Sanket & Chinmay Music by: Raj Edited by: Chinmay

In this episode we go over the GW 14 and 15 results with Chelsea getting annihilated at Elland Road and fail to score at Vitality Stadium. Liverpool draw against Sunderland and Leeds with Salah being on the bench hovering over the club like a dark cloud. Manchester United ended up drawing against a dull West Ham side. But they showed their attacking prowess with Bruno being the primary conduit beating Wolves convincingly. We address the Salah statement after Leeds game, Arne's man management and Jamie Carragher's explosive comments   Hosts: Chinmay, Raj and Sanket Music by: Raj Edited by: Chinmay  

We discuss the cagey game between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea went down to 10-men due to a reckless tackle by Moises Caicedo. Chelsea still managed to score from a set-piece after which Arsenal managed to score a goal by a beautiful assist by Saka.   Manchester United shifted the momentum against a leggy Palace team in 2nd half with 2 very creative set-pieces, with wonder finishes by Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount. Lisandro was back after a long spell on sidelines, with Luke Shaw and Bruno providing vintage performances straight from the pandemic.    Liverpool finally broke their winless streak by a professional performance against a tough to break down West Ham. Isak scored his first PL goal in the 25-26 season with Mohamed Salah dropped and Joe Gomez getting his long-awaited start, which he rewarded the gaffer by a pre-assist and an assist. Florian Wirtz is showing green shoots of adaption to PL after a difficult start. We preview GW 14 and GW 15 happening in close proximity  Hosts: Chinmay and Raj Music by: Raj Edited by: Chinmay

This gameweek began with a draw at City ground and another wait for the poor UnitedStrand as United drew at City ground. Followed by that was a thrashing by Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Sunday also marked an interesting stint as after a 4 game loss streak by Liverpool finally ended at Anfield with Unai Emery's Villa losing to Liverpool; Midweek in Champions League Liverpool packed off Real Madrid convincingly while Chelsea's away trip to Baku against Qarabag led to a difficult draw. City smashed Dortmund 4-1 with Haaland scoring again, while Spurs destroyed Copenhagen convincingly.  We look ahead at United's visit to Tottenham Hotspur stadium and Liverpool's visit to City.

We look forward to the end of the first International break which started off with a nail-biting finish to an unexpectedly back and forth game between Manchester United and Burnley, Chelsea finishing off Fulham in a game mired by VAR controversy; an extremely boring prophesized title race fixture between Arsenal and Liverpool. We also preview the GW 4 fixture between Manchester City vs Manchester United, the faltering form of both United teams and which one we think will eventually outshine others.  Hosts: Raj, Sanket & Chinmay Music by: Raj

In this Chelsea special, we have Johnny a generational Chelsea fan who has seen Chelsea from the days of Glenn Hoddle and Gianluca Vialli to the modern day being managed by another Italian manager in Enzo Maresca.  We admonish the factually wrong statement about Chelsea having no footprint before 2004 and weave our way through key moments in the early 2000s with iconic figures like Jose,  Drogba, Di Matteo, JT, Lamps, Hazard, Conte and some notorious ones like Graham Potter. We conclude with our views on the new ownership and how their success rate in scouting good players has increased in tandem with managerial win percentages and players building strong characters and why there is a chance we could surge back to the pinnacle of English football Host: Chinmay Guest: Johnny (@CFCJohnnyB)/X Music by: Raj Editing: Chinmay

In this United special, we call a special guest Raunak, a United supporter who started supporting United during Fergie years and discusses with Sanket and Raj as to what was the secret sauce that made United the club they are still known to be. They also share a few memories about the days when they started playing football on Pune turfs.  Hosts: Sanket and Raj Guest: Raunak Music: Raj
