Happy St. Totteringham's Day? In what should have been an historic run for Tottenham Hotspur, they still managed to finish below Arsenal on the last day of the season. Manchester United's season isn't over yet due to a bomb scare that hasn't quite been cleared up. They won't be able to get top four, but they still have the FA Cup to play for. Newcastle have been relegated, but will they also be out a manager? Everton have said goodbye to Roberto Martinez and who is left out there to replace him? Ronald Koeman?? What sort of managers will we see next season? The Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup finals are approaching. How will each team stack up with silverware on the line? The season's at the end, but we will never run out of premier league stories to discuss.

Tyler Bailey and Matt Pollard sit down with Colorado Rapids Play by Play man Richard Fleming to try and figure out what makes the high-flying Rapids tick.  Then, the lads are joined by Last Word's Russ McKenzie and Joe Goldstein to talk about everything leading up to Friday's Atlantic Cup.  Finally, the lads try to make heads or tales of the latest rumor out of Sky Italia and the LA Times: Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic really coming to Major League Soccer? It couldn't be true... could it?

Joe, Anthony and Bill sit down for a chat with the surprisingly mature 17-year-old midfielder Tyler Adams, but first they break down a wild night in Pittsburgh that saw a shocking act of violence. Then they look ahead to the game against Richmond this weekend. Raising Bulls is the only podcast dedicated to the New York Red Bulls II of the USL

Head coaches Jess Cassar and Pablo Mastroeni comment on the Colorado Rapids' 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Then goalkeeper Zac MacMath and midfielder Sam Cronin talk about the result and why the Rapids are on such a roll of late.

Matt sits down with Chris Fizik, Vice President of the Red Patch Boys. They talk about the good start that Toronto FC has had and preview the home opener. Chris gives out the deets for those wanting to pregame before the reopening of BMO Field. Chris also gives a brief tease of the RPB's tifo plans for Saturday night. 

The Force is strong with this one. Sort of. Maybe?Our predictions are getting back on track this week and points that have no meaning are handed out to our winners. Southampton  lost to Palace, which only Arslan didn't see coming. West Ham and Stoke played a glorious nil-nil draw with the Hammers impressing without Payet. Leicester defeated Chelsea in a manner akin to Luke Skywalker's perfect shot to take down the Death Star.Bournemouth continued their amazing run by taking down a lackluster Manchester United. Spurs lost. Tottenham have been defeated and not by an own goal, by Newcastle.Last Word on Sports' Hugo Jennings joins us  to discuss if Mourinho will strike back or be sacked, England at the Euros, and helps us preview the match up between Arsenal and Manchester City.Our predictions continue to Everton and Leicester. Is Vardez (no, that's not a typo) strong enough to go against Everton's back line? Can Crystal Palace win on a cold night in Stoke? Have Newcastle actually turned things around? Have they found the balance in the Force? Villa surely haven't.

It's still our birthday week!In this preview episode, we start with Southampton and Crystal Palace. The Saints have been struggling, while Palace continue to rise.We continue out predictions with West Ham vs Stoke. Stoke have had some brilliant performances recently, but can that continue? Payet-less West Ham have been at a loss for creativity, but will long balls to Carroll work this time?We wrap up with league leaders Leicester taking on relegation battling Chelsea. Vardy's miraculous scoring streak has ended, but the Foxes always find goals. The same cannot be said for the Blues, who still haven't bounced back.We predict the score, man of the match, the big storyline, and the flop for each game. 'Tis the season to be jolly, Leicester are winning the league and it's almost Christmas.

Matt sits down with Columbus Crew TV Host Neil Sika and FC Dallas midfielder Ryan Hollingshead before discussing the second legs of the 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs Conference Finals with Joe Goldstein.

Alec, Matt, Russ join for a special edition of Last Word SC Radio to talk about the first leg of the Conference Finals in the 2015 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. The Columbus Crew lead the New York Red Bulls 2-0, while the Portland Timbers jumped out to a 3-2 win over FC Dallas.

The international break is over which means the Premier League is back and so are we! Treble Radio opens with a new topic, as Eric and Laura vent their frustrations over the U.S drawing 0-0 at Trinidad Tobago before we launch into our Premier League preview show. With really only one big game this weekend, we do our best to make all the games sound interesting. Liverpool visit Manchester City as the tough schedule continues for Klopp's new side. How bad will the absence of Mamadou Sakho hurt Liverpool, and is Dejan Lovren a capable replacement? On the Manchester City side, will Aguero be healthy enough to play, and if not, who plays striker? A few years ago Southampton vs Stoke would've been a game of contrasting styles. Now though, Mark Hughes has Stoke playing actual football, with passing and dribbling and everything. What are the keys to this game, and who comes out ahead?At White Hart Lane, can West Ham overcome the absencese of Dimitri Payet and Enner Valencia, or will Spurs run of good form continue? Dele Alli scored a goal for England, so obviously he's the greatest and West Ham don't stand a chance, right? To cap it all off, this week's show includes a special guest appearance by Laura's cat. 

The show this week starts with the  great news of Allcott's newly acquired dream job at Ball Street. In true Great Touch fashion this prompted the first talking point of the poddy: what would your ideal job be? The vocation choices unsurprisingly started with football, moved on to food, then inevitably ended back on football.Allcott popped into confession to pay homage to a hero of the Emerald Isle and the potteries (clue: It's not Glenn Whelan), but will he apologise for previously slating him?Then, discussion turned to zeros to heros. Which players did the lads once hate, but now love? Following that, in an imaginative twist, they discussed heros who are now zeros with a couple of the boys even putting rivalry out the window.All this, plus a preview of the weekend, footballing pet hates, and monkeys racing cats on Great Touch for a Big Lad!

Great Touch: Available Every Tuesday at 5pm In the week that Van Gaal admits the 300 million he's spent isn't enough to win the Champions League, we start the show by asking "where's the value in football?"From a Hoover (actually a Dyson) to a set top box, we also discuss our own best value acquisitions! Next up, in a more emotional part of the show, Irwin talks Chelsea and gives his two penny worth on Jose Mourinho's struggling men. Whilst Irwin is in support of the Portuguese, Miguel tweets in to offer a fascinating opposing opinion. We then discuss the rest of the weekend's actions including Manchester United vs Liverpool and Leicester vs Aston Villa. Following his post-match interview at the King Power, the gillet wearing sulking Sheerwood sparks off discussion on the worst on/off pitch mood swings in English football. The bad mood then continues as Allcott vents his frustrations on "pet hates" but comfort is found as his opinion is met with unanimous agreement by the lads.Finally, Craig (STILL grieving from Stoke's loss to West Brom a fortnight ago), asks his weekly question and is left shocked by the rest of the boys' answers.Following his post-match interview at the King Power, the gillet wearing sulking Sheerwood sparks off discussion on the worst on/off pitch mood swings in English football.

Treble starts with a tragedy this week as Arslan mourns Liverpool's loss to Manchester United before we jump into the weekend reviews.We take a look at what has gone wrong for Chelsea so far this season following their loss to Everton, but also talk about Everton's good form.

City continued their winning streak and picked up three points at Palace. Then, we fully discuss the United - Liverpool clash and all its glory and its shortcomings. Leicester stole the show with their amazing comeback victory over Aston VillaChampions League started back up! City lost, United lost, and we all wish Luke Shaw a speedy recovery.The big match ups of next weekend are previewed and we look at the results of our predictions from last week and learn that we don't learn much, but we sure have fun.
