We told you we'd have plenty of recordings in the BPFC Time Capsule to unleash. #BingeTheBanter, baby. You know the fucking vibes. We're no Adam Cole but we're confident even he'd agree that The Banter Pub FC is The World's Greatest Podcast™©®, bay bay.

This episode (recorded 27 May 2021) features El Capitan Neal, Ama, Adam, Jonathan, and Joseph sliding into The Pub to chat about how Leicester City had one job and failed to do it as the Premier League concluded; Napoli fumbling the bag and more as Serie A drew to a close; Lille doing the damn thing and finishing as champions in Ligue 1, and Club Atlético de Madrid finally sealing the deal, getting their name etched on the La Liga title in a showstopping edition of Around The Pitch.

The Main Segment covers a couple of US domestic league-based incidents, including but not limited to: the rash of beer chucking incidents at both DC United and Chicago Fire matches (and in DC United's case: the slew of shitty statements from SGs affiliated with the club not named Rose Room Collective) and the blatant disrespecting of the Washington Spirit (where the Spirit had to play their opening home fixture in Houston against the Dash). It's not all bullshit though, as there was a healthy discussion about how the table looks in Major League Soccer; namely praise being lavished on Orlando City SC's form at the time. The discussion around US domestic league-based foolishness continues into Extra Time, where racism once again rears its ugly, unwanted head during a USL Championship match between Loudon United FC and New York Red Bulls II. Mandela Egbo was subjected to racist abuse via monkey chanting from Loudon United FC supporters while he was taking a penalty kick (which he converted). The lads unpack everything from the moment itself to the utterly pathetic statement put out by Loudon Stampede in response.

This episode was a blast to record but then again, that's usually the case when you're rockin' with the sauciest team in the game. That's what you should expect from the mandem with the spiciest takes on the pitch. #BingeTheBanter rolls on as we get three more episodes and a Set Piece loaded into the chamber. Past, present, forever.

The Pub Awaits.
