Full Kit Wankers: A Soccer Podcast

Merry Christmas from the Full Kit Wankers! Your favorite soccer podcast hosts wouldn't dream of taking a holiday, not when there's so much December footy to discuss. Of course, the Wankers cover Mourinho's departure from Manchester United, and how he was "tricked" into the meeting leading to his firing. Andrea maybe thought Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's name was just Gunnar, and that Ole was a term of endearment. The Wankers refuse to acknowledge the the possibility that Pochettino will go to United, they marvel over Pogba's big 2pm announcement on Sunday, and revel in Harry Kane's OBE. Gabriel Camargo stars in this week's "not cool moment", proving Colombia hasn't quite moved past sexism just yet. The Wankers run down the Carabao cup quarterfinals, including the North London Derby Part Deux (coys), and the semi final draw before they delve into the USMNT and Gregg Berhalter's first January roster. They cap off the episode with some EPL, lauding Crystal Palace and Leicester City heroes of the weekend, and obsessing over Heung Min Son's finish (sorry Everton). They bid adieu to Ligue Un, La Liga and Bundesliga until early January and read some dope new reviews. Instead of a Wankers Weigh in, Andrea forced Steven to say "cute" a dozen times, in the Cute Christmas Corner segment, where the Wankers discussed different charitable causes teams and supporters' groups had been participating in for the holidays. Let them know of any worthy causes, and they'll post them to social media! Stay tuned for our Boxing Day Special, dropping on December 27th, and as always, even on the holidays, you've got subs if you need 'em.

Well it finally happened. Mourinho out. Only Natalie Imbruglia's dulcet tones can help us now. The Wankers carry on, however, discussing Champions League group stage culmination, Tottenham making it out of their group of death, Thomas Muller trying to kill a man, and Ronaldo always needing the glory. They briefly touch upon Europa League (it's not so bad but it's not so good) before moving on to some news from our own Backyard. Club America had a good week across the board, as did women's soccer in Mexico, attracting 40,000 fans and all of Andrea's heart. The Wankers then ventured to Jolly Ole England for a "pint at the pub", and discuss how much they hate when Americans adopt British colloquialisms. Spurs beat Burnley, Southampton took Arsenal to TASK, and Klopp got Mourinho fired, AGAIN. Just when you thought the episode couldn't be more lit? Adam Belz from The Scuffed Podcast joins us for a low audio quality skype interview all the way from Minnesota! The Full Kit Wankers' first long distance caller discusses all things US soccer related, in particular the Yanks abroad that should be making Americans proud. And as always fkws, you've got subs if you need 'em.

These FKWs were #blessed to have Arsenal NYC's very own VP, Sean Swift, on the pod. This week's show includes recaps on Champions League, Europa League (sigh), the supporter's shield race between Atlanta FC and the New York Red Bulls, and Steven's clear obsession with the NY Cosmos. Listen to Andrea gush endlessly about Messi, continue to rag on Lamela and generally obsess over the bearded 'ssons' on Iceland's National team. The Wankers weigh in on Euro snobbery and why American soccer fans tend to choose European clubs over their own local football team. Don't worry, there's still a Mourinho soundbite. And never forget, you've got subs if you need 'em.
