(PODCAST) – This week on Treble Radio, hilarity ensues as Eric, Arslan, and Laura adjust to spending more time talking about Sunderland, Hull, and Newcastle and less about Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. With the top of the table no longer interesting, the focus is on the bottom of the table. Can Hull escape? Will Tottenham’s attempt to escape Europa League help the Tigers survive?
We review the week’s big stories, including John Carver claiming to be the best coach in the Premier League and how QPR and Burnley should each feel about getting relegated.
We cap off the show with a look forward to the weekend, discussing key matchups in the relegation battle (Looking at you, Sunderland and Leicester), and Arslan gets nostalgic about Steven Gerrard and his final game at Anfield.
All that and more on this week’s edition of Treble Radio.
Treble Radio Get Nostalgic About Steven Gerrard
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Laura was trained from birth to be a Nebraska Cornhusker Football fan. Unlike most Huskers, her dad played soccer and introduced her to that sport as well, which understandably stole her heart. Laura’s love for the Spice Girls and Harry Potter carried her love for soccer across the Atlantic to a team not unlike her Huskers, Manchester United. They were once great and believe they can be again, but it hasn’t really happened yet. Laura is also a fan of the MLS team Sporting Kansas City in the typical fashion of a Nebraskan: loving a KC team due to lack of anything at all in the state of Nebraska.
Eric Walcott is a Legislative Assistant in the Michigan House of Representatives by day, and a soccer fan 24/7. He’s played soccer his whole life and now covers MLS, Portland Timbers, and Arsenal for LWOS. Eric helped start the supporters group Sons of Ransom for NPSL club Lansing United because there’s nothing quite like standing in the crowd and supporting your local team every weekend. 4th place might not be a trophy, but THE FA CUP SURELY IS!
Treble Radio host, Arslan Siddiqui, is a Canadian who does not speak many languages, but he has definitely specialized in the language of the beautiful game. When his grasp of the language isn’t strong enough, he (tries) to substitute it with comedy. He is a Liverpool fan who started the ‘Anfield Alive’ column on Last Word On Sports, where he provides commentary and opinion on everything Liverpool and Premier League related. A university student and a young adult, he promises to provide entertainment and (a little bit of) knowledge!
