Episode 9 - Breaks, Battles & Blues: International Recap, Manchester Derby, and Chelsea’s Charges
🎙️Episode 9: Premier League Week 4 Preview & Chelsea Controversies
Football is back and so are we..
In this episode of the Pattern Play podcast, Tim, Jude and Mash discuss the latest happenings in football. They introduce a new, probably short-lived segment called 'Nake Takes'. You might be able to guess why.
The discussion kicks off with Chelsea's recent charges related to agent payments during the Ibramovic era. We then shift to international football, focusing on South Africa's Bafana Bafana and their recent performances. The hosts debate the benefits of local players staying vs. moving to European leagues.
The preview for Premier League Week 4 includes discussions on key fixtures like Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest, Everton vs. back-from-international-break Crystal Palace, and the much-anticipated Manchester Derby. Liverpool’s lineup and their odds against Burnley are also debated. The episode wraps up with a Game of the Week segment, 'Guess the Player,' which stumps both Jude and Mash.
