Soccer’s a lot of things. But even when it looks like just another day in the park, it’s never just another day in the park. Tío Lobo says that anyone in the business of running fast should avoid cutting their toe nails. Cutting keratin, the protective protein that extends from one’s feet reduces, Lobo theorizes,…

On the Gameweek 13 review Suj & James discuss all the weekend games as enabling midfielders put their hand up for consideration as Miguel Almiron, Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira and Granit Xhaka were among those who returned with double point hauls. What to do with Mo Salah? Could he yet prove to be the best captaincy option this week despite a blank and a below par performance in Liverpool's defeat at Forest? Plus, Arsenal slipped up, Leandro Trossard scored... of course Trossard scored.... why Tottenham are begging for the break, impressive Newcastle, short term thinking for FPL managers and putting yourself in the position to be lucky Coming up tomorrow on Planet FPL: The Fan view - Aston Villa with @Lee_Jackson_92 ___________________________________________ Want to become a member of our FPL and SkyFF community and support the Podcast?

Is it time to start to taking United seriously again? Barca secure the signing of Lewandowski. But is it a depressing state of affairs for European football as Barca mortgage their future? We look back at Sasha’s favourite World Cup – Spain 82. The tournament of Northern Ireland, Brazil’s loss of innocence and Soviet Union’s 3 managers.

But why the genuine lack of confidence in the defense? And can the Galaxy get their mojo back in the Mile-High City? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night. And why there seems to be a pattern of "softness" on defense. Can the Galaxy and Greg Vanney make adjustments? Why did Douglas Costa impress in his second-half performance, and why did Kevin Cabral's first assist of the season still leave everyone questioning his finishing? Plus, did Efrain Alvarez's bleached hair lead to another sub-par performance? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the first-half collapse and why this pattern will repeat itself until the players start playing with a little more confidence. Can the team psychology be mended before a necessary playoff run? And the lack of infrastructure surrounding the Galaxy's acquisition tools keeps being a problem. So what more do the Galaxy need to do? Unfortunately, they need to have patience. And that's not going to be easy to do. We've got a packed show to ensure you're ready for the match against Colorado. Will the altitude be a welcomed respite from the bright lights at Dignity Health Sports Park? And will a short-handed Galaxy earn some road points against the Rapids?
