The Fans Are Us Podcast: Recent Episodes
Tee
This podcast is all about everyday fans voicing our opinions and feelings on our teams and everything else regarding the English Premier League which is the best league in the world period! I say this with the most respect for all the other leagues out there, but y’all know I speak the truth on this ha ha. It is dedicated to all the fans out there who in one way or form, part with their hard earned time and money, to buy tickets, jerseys and pay for tv subscriptions (Don’t even get me started on the crazy subscription costs!) all in a bid to watch games and support their teams. These are the Fans, and the Fans are us!!!
Its no secret that the EPL was the largest spender in the recently closed transfer window; around $2.23Bn. As you know, alot of money involved, there usually is no margin for error. This didn't stop this week from being littered with questionable officiating and some shocking actions by some owners.
The stakes are even higher now, and we are here for all of it!
On behalf of the Fansareus Podcast, we extend our condolences to the Royal Family on the loss of the Queen of England, and send our support to the newly enthroned King
The reason so many of us watch this game is because of the entertainment it offers us, sometimes that expectation falls way short, but times like these where we have two games in the space of a week, we sure are brimming ear to ear.
Just within the space of two games, we saw enough entertainment to last us for a very long time!!! From an incredible number of goals to incredible results all round, This is one episode you just gotta listen to!

Finally what we the fans have been waiting for!!! A new season! While its just the first week, we already are licking our lips with excitement as this promises to be a season that won't be lacking any drama, yes many squads are still trying to finalize their transfer business while others are working on raising the fitness of their squad, if this first week is an indication of whats to come, then we are in for a better experience compared to last season.

As the war goes on in Ukraine with Russia as the aggressors, we take a look at how off-field events go a long way in affecting on-field outcomes.

I also give my personal thoughts on the war, a must listen

Happy New Year Guys! Welcome to 2022. We all made it yay! What better way to come start the year than have some great games to watch. We see some of the top teams in England go head to head, and while we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the game, many of us the fans were left scratching our heads as yet again we were treated to yet the same old problems we have been lamenting in the League.
Join me as we review the first round of games we get to experience in 2022. A lot of optimism, but then again alongside a lot of reality checks, It may be a new year, but thats as far as it goes with many of the officials in the league
As we draw close to a jam packed festive period of games. It has been non stop action. However, the one thing that has stood out for all is the postponement of multiple games due to a rise in Covid-19 cases. For many people this feels all too familiar, many of us have terrible memories from the first Covid-19 outbreak and how it changed all our lives in one way or the other, including the toll it took on soccer all around the world. This time thankfully, we have not seen across table cancellation of games and empty stadiums without fans still, some clubs have been hit differently, and this reflects on the table. Let's take a dive into what we have discovered after the run of many games in such quick succession, One can't help but feel a sense of déjà vu with how the table is starting to shape up.
How many times have you tuned in to a game expecting a spectacle only for the officials to take over the conversation with some iffy and controversial calls?
Of course if you are on the receiving end of these calls, then you are on full of relief and are willing to see the officials as human beings prone to error, but if you are on the losing end, hell hath no place for your rage!
If you had a chance to catch the games this week, there was an unusually high number of penalty kicks awarded, 5 of them leading to wins for their teams respectively.
Join us as we take a deep dive into what in the world the officials are doing, is it truly their game and are the players just pawns on their boards at the mercy of their feelings?
As we review Match Day 15, We look at the two players who have impacted the run of results the most for their teams.
Thanks to Bernardo Silva's genius, we have a new leader at the top of the table, while Demarai Gray almost single handedly gave his coach and team a breath of fresh air.
Join me as we go through this exciting week of football, isn't this why we love the English Premier League? There is never a dull moment, gosh we barely even have time to catch our breaths!
Ever feel like it's always the same players that fit a certain narrative, or always a certain that fit certain narratives?
You're not alone, as we look at match day 14 we take a deeper look at the usual suspects for goals, wins and much more. Who are those we can rely on, and who are those we dare not rely on?
It is one of the oldest facts in sports; The English Premier League is one of toughest projects out there. Extensive broadcast coverageDemanding fans, Demanding Owners, Very little patience, with so much money on the line, trying to grow a team can be quite painful.
As we look into match day 13, we can see a couple of teams showing signs of growing pains. Will they eventually get it right? Is Chelsea FC punching above their weight or are they the finished article? Can Manchester United finally get it right with the new Interim Manager set to take the reins? How does Rafa Benitez handle the heat on his as he goes back to his former home where he was synonymous with success?
Indeed there is alot of pain between where many teams currently are, and where they strive to be!
We are already 12 matches into the season! Where did all the time go???
In this episode, we take a quick overview at some of the results that caught the eye.
Manchester United was the name on everybody's lips after the 4-1 loss to Watford so this episode, we shine the spotlight on them.
