Strap in!

BUMPER EPISODE INCOMING!All the ramifications of the Premier League weekend are expanded upon, including a thick title race, how Chelsea are garbage, and the battle of the 'battlers' with Fulham, Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle all overperforming magnificently.We chat the astounding Bundesliga title race, Neymar's timely injury, the SUPER LEAGUE, the Champions League results, PLENTY of predictions which will probably be wrong, and YOUR QUESTIONS answered including a solid discussion of Serie B.Make sure to catch me on @bornoffsidepodcast this week too!SEND IN QUESTIONS/RAISE YOUR DAUGHTERS

This week's discussion of all the weekend's action centres around VAR controversies in the PL and Serie A.I then compile my 11 of breakout Serie A stars from this season, before we crack into predictions for the Champions League and more!Leave comments/suggestions for next week's sitter!

This week my Sitheads we chat all about the PLs big boys all dropping points except for a Casemiro-less Man United and my boy Mitoma.We then chat Serie A, with the Milan derby a damning indictment of Pioli's Milan, and why they're in big trouble.Lasagna for this week is replaced by a hot serving of my top 10 players of 2022, and we have Balotelli's miss vs LA Galaxy as our SOTW.ALL LOVE X

Today we discuss all things DEADLINE DAY including Arsenal once again shopping in Chelsea's yard, except it might work out for them this time. SOUTTAR to Leicester, a dude playing with a GoPro on, Mark Clattenburg getting clattered out of Egypt, why you should PITY us Juve fans, and why I'm now a fully fledged B&H supporter.Lasagna this week is a steamy serving; the time a player wore a rival clubs jersey to push through a move away from his current club, and Sitter Of The Week comes courtesy of Freddie Ljungberg.I then give my predictions for big games this week. Raise your expectations for this episode as if they were your daughters!

Ciao Sitheads!Card on the table I spend a good 15-20 minutes talking about the Juventus situation today; I tried to be light about it but it's pretty dear to me so I hope it's at least informative.We chat Premier League because Serie A is now ruined; Haaland cold takes, Almiron hot takes, Kane and Conte's Hotcakes, we cover it all. Your lasagna this week is made fresh out of Adebayor's full pitch dash celebration vs Arsenal in 2009, and your sitter of the week is Van Vossen's howler for Rangers in the Old Firm Derby.Let your friends know about this pod! And RYD4LYF x

Today's episode covers a lot of the PL action from the weekend; with United winning the battle of the baldies and a Spurs fan kicking Arsenal's goalkeeper in defeat. Listen to how I think he should be punished, why I'm on Pique's side in his divorce story, and why Juve are not out of the scudetto conversation despite being pummelled by Napoli.All that, your sitter of the week, and a bite into the tasty lasagna that is Steven Gerrard getting punked by a Chelsea mascot. Also some predictions for the weekend's big matches. RYD.

HNY sitheads and welcome back to the show! I little mini episode for you to chow down on in anticipation for bigger things in 2023 (watch this space)Today we chat about a few off the pitch shenanigans that went down between the WC ending and now, including why Salt Bae is a f%&khead, and Gareth Baling on football.We then REVIVE the hot lasagne segment to chat about a time a professional ref got drunk, before introducing a new segment called SITTER OF THE WEEK!Send me a message to suggest a sitter for next week, #ryd and have a happy 2023! 

I truly hope you all have enjoyed the Qatar 2022 World Cup as much as I have (having watched all 64 games live, not sure if I've mentioned) but even more so, this recap episode, because the technology gods conspired to make it the most impossible piece of shit to record and edit, all most all my soft and hardware malfunctioned on me.BUT we made it, so please enjoy this bumper, final World Cup 2022 episode of Mr. Sitter, in which I discussed my Top 3 for a multitude of categories, including goal, save, coach, dickhead, funny moment, player of the tournament, and a few more too.THANK YOU so much to everyone who followed along for the ride; please look forward to weekly episodes moving forward. Tell ya buds, like, subscribe, follow, review, leave questions, and take as much care as you can to bring those female children of yours into this world. XXX

I did it sitheads...I watched all 64 games of the Qatar 2022 World Cup live, and this, the final, was the crescendo, the cherry on top of what has been a delectable football cake. Argentina are deserved victors, and to them go the spoils of this remarkable story which culminates in the best player to ever play, winning the only trophy that has escaped him in his career.In this episode, I laboured, hungover, tired, drained from an engrossing final and  an enchanting tournament, chatting basically about the game only. I will do a full recap episode in the next few days which will talk about the World Cup as a whole, but for now, cop this. 

Howdy friends! On todays MSP I chatted about the Melbourne Derby debacle, and a bit about FIFA and how they suck, based on the Netflix doc I just got around to watching.I then chatted about the 3/4th play off which saw Croatia become the 11th European nation in a row to come third in the World Cup, seeing of darlings of the tournament Morocco, in what was a fairly unenjoyable match.This of course precedes my preview of this evening's WORLD CUP FINAL! We finally made it, the promised land. I delineated all the reasons why I am desperate for Argentina to win, even though I'm fairly sure France will. Let's hope it's a belter, and not the cagey snoozefest it could be.Vamos!

The Qatar 2022 World Cup Final has been set, a somewhat inevitable PSG derby between Mbappe and Messi will come to pass, but today is all about the valiant Morocco, going down to the world champions today with their heads held high.I chatted about the game, France's tactics, why this Morocco run has been so important, and finally, why this 3/4 playoff might be the best game of the entire tournament.4 episodes to go in the World Cup special episodes of MSP; don't miss ANY!

I'm in rare form guys. Today, obviously, I ripped into what happened as Argentina dispatched Croatia with aplomb, and broke down what went wrong for the Cros, and why Argentina seems so elevated by glorious purpose in this competition.We also chat toxic football fandom comparing players illogically, recontextualise Moroccan ethnicity, preview the upcoming match v France, and explain why the A-League(s?) has become an arbitrary pluralisation, as informed by one of my listeners!Y'all should message me/comment more sh%t, because it will make it onto the pod, if its kewl.In the interim, you know the drill, raise those Argentinian flags with the same gusto as you raise your bloody daughters!

A break in the action means today's episode covers a lot of arbitrary sh%t, including the A-League(s?) decision to put all the finals in Sydney forever, whether Kylian Mbappe is an asshole,  whether we should give a flying f@#k if Ronaldo cries, and why I am better than Stan Sports.I then ranked the potential outcomes in this World Cup from least to most favourable (in my occasionally, surprisingly, humble opinion) and do a little preview of the upcoming Croatia v Argentina clash!Leave me a review and buy a mug, ya mug!

The full semi final bracket is set! Morocco's fairytale continued as they defeated Portugal and are still yet to concede a goal to an opposition player in this tournament, while France beat England to send them, not it, coming home.I discussed the matches, the fallouts, Messi's rage, why I don't think I will/probably still will keep making predictions in this wild tournament, and so much more.Also my delirium (I've now watched 60 damn matches) sleep deprivation and COVID upturn have me silly...I daresay I'm at my best in this episode, so spend ya Sunday with me, and tell ya two friends to, too.Leave me and ITunes review! Be cool and RYD. 

The predictions of myself (and the world) were flipped upside down when Croatia slayed the monolith that WAS Brazil, vanquishing Neymar's boys on penalties. They set up a date with Leo's Argentina who (somewhat more predictably, but not by me) defeated a game Netherlands in a proper grudge match, which saw a lot of elbows, forearms, shoves and dives.Forgive the intermittent cuts where I had to blow my nose, and when I said "definding" instead of defining. I still have COVID. And we still have quarter final matches tonight! I previewed and predicted Morocco v Portugal and England v France.Raise your daughters and namaste!

The COVID got me good guys so a short episode today, wherein I discussed Halilodzic and his failed World Cup hopes, Ghana and Cameroon players having to pay to be called up, and a bunch of other tidbits.That's all before previewing the first two Quarter Final matches being Brazil v Croatia and Netherlands v Argentina. I don't plan on getting any more predictions wrong in this tournament, fyi.Let me know your thoughts x

Yet another gloaty episode today folks as the most overrated nation in this tournament are sent packing by the supremely talented Morocco, who triumph in a very one sided penalty shootout after a fairly morbid match.Elsewhere, my prediction that Portugal v Switzerland would be boring as bat shit was turned on its head by Fernando Santos' unlikely decision to bench Cristiano. Before we chew into that, I briefly discussed the Brazil dancing controversy, and my pick for the WORST ad of the World Cup.Do me a solid and leave an Itunes review if you've been enjoying these, whack some comments on the posts, and be as cool as you have been X

A sad day for Asia as Japan and South Korea bow out in contrasting fashion. The Group of Death toppers took the fight to Croatia and almost came out on top, but were simply terrible in the penalty shootout and will be going home with their heads very very high. Meanwhile, the Koreans received first hand information about how f&$ked every team that isn't Brazil are. The World Champions elect put on a clinic and Croatia will be shaking in their picnic themed socks at the prospect of facing them.All this and a quick chat about Saudi Arabia. Enjoy the final games of the R16 and remember to BE COOL X

The inevitable has occurred sitheads; 52 matches in, and I'm finally under the weather. Forgive the scratchiness of my throat as I discuss France and England's comfortable Round of 16 victories over Poland and Senegal respectively.Mbappe outlined his credentials as the best player in the world, let alone this tournament, as France's arrogance shone through. England meanwhile showed themselves to be true contenders in opposite fashion; showing respect to Senegal in clinically dispatching them.I also previewed the big games tonight. Get on board, and tell ya mates x

A very hungover Sunday to you all (mostly to me though). Two exciting matches took place overnight; the Netherlands outlined their serious credentials, dispatching the USMNT with relative ease and a Denzel Dumfries masterclass, before a bit of Messi magic finally halts the underdog story of the Socceroos at Qatar 2022, who will return home with their heads held high.Tell your friends (to watch/listen to yesterday's episode, I went to a wedding last night and you can hear it in my voice/see it in the dark void behind my eyes) like and subscribe!

BIG Episode for your Saturday! The final, super exciting matches of the group stage were discussed, including South Korea's triumph and Serbia breaking my fickle little heart. I also tell you my best and worst matches of the group stage.Then I go through my Flop 11 and Best 11 of the group stage; which I'm sure will earn me even more internet vitriol. Please comment your thoughts.Tomorrow's episode will be late as I am at a wedding, so sit tight! Also if you're going out tonight, take a drink for every time I say the word "deem" in this episode. I'm tired guys.Like/Subscribe/Deem/BeCoolX

November 16, 2022. I told you plebs Japan would beat Spain. And here we are.Before chatting about my boys' epic, second victory over a former world champion, I got stuck into old 11 vs older 11 in Belgium v Croatia, and the yardstick for the 'Golden Generation', praising my other pick Morocco for topping the group against a vastly overhyped Canada, and pondering what could have been for Costa Rica against a Germany team nobody is really sad to see out.Also, I'm in a bit of trouble with footballers in Australia. Don't miss this one to find out why x

AUSTRALIA ARE IN THE KNOCKOUT ROUND OF THE F&%KING WORLD CUP SO THAT'S ALL THIS IS ABOUT!!Ok no I did chat a bit about Poland, Argentina, France, Tunisia, and Mexico, not Saudi Arabia, sorry.This was a crazy day, so it was a crazy pod, enjoy! 

Even though I'm trying my best to not make this the JUVECAST, especially once this World Cup ends (I'm hoping you guys will stay with me when I go back to weekly and chat exclusively about how much I hate Chelsea), I would be remiss to not expand on what's going on with Juve's board of directors resigning and the reasons/ramifications thereof. So I have done so here BRIEFLY.Additionally, I go through all the matches from last night; Iran and Ecuador disappointingly not matching the standard they set in previous matches and losing to triumphant USA and Senegal respectively, hopefully not setting a theme for teams 'only needing a draw' (looking at you, Mitch Duke). I also touched on the dead rubber matches that you're an idiot if you prioritised (Ned-Qat, Eng-Wal).Like/Subscribe/Comment/AskQuestions/FinoAllaFineX

Easily the best quartet of matches rounds off matchday 2 of the group stage in style; Aboubakar and Cameroon take a big old shit on my Serbia prediction, before the African train continued to roll on as Ghana beat South Korea in another classic.Elsewhere, Brazil confirmed their favourite credentials by getting past Switzerland, the most annoying football team ever, before Portugal made it through by beating Uruguay thanks to Ronaldo's scalp pubes and Gimenez's hand of ass.Follow/subscribe/don't touch the ball in the box with your palm x

Heads up I bookend this episode with a pair of little rants about toxic online football fandom, and chat about Ronaldo and things I'm sick of in this World Cup already.Then, of course, we chat the matches. Japan lost in the game that has made me the most sad in this tournament, before Morocco 'upset' the elderly Belgium, Canada's coach chews on his own words as Croatia eliminate them in style, and the biggest game of the tournament so far, of course, ends in a draw.Like/subscribe/raise your daughters x

For the first time ever, I eat some humble Four'NTwenty Pie, and the first World Cup prediction I have gotten flat out wrong results in the Socceroos taking home their third ever victory at the World Cup, defeating Tunisia in typical Aussie fashion.We also discuss my boy Woj saving Poland, France having the best player in the world, and Argentina beating Mexico to set up a dramatic final matchday in their group in which, anyone can go through.Like/subscribe/tell me how wrong I was about Mitch Duke and as always, be cool.

It's Saturday, I'm tired and in desperate need of some antihistamines, so its a quickie today.The Iran game was awesome, we finally saw a GOLAZO, a breakout performance, and the best team won. Elsewhere Qatar were put out of their (and our) misery, Ecuador are GOOD, and the American Revolutionary War re-enactment is, to the surprise of nobody, boring as f&%k.Like and subscribe X

The first round of group stage games comes to a close with some typically boring games, peppered with some fun stuff, and Brazil putting on the most comprehensive 'we're going to win this tournament' performance I've seen.I discussed every game in a bit of detail (even the dismal Uruguay v South Korea) so dig in!As always, please like/subscribe to the YouTube/comment horrible, harmful, mean things if you don't like what I said, and BE COOL x

I told you sitheads not to sleep on Japan! Today we discuss their amazing turnaround victory against Germany, who are in big trouble, whether Spain's annihilation of Costa Rica means my prediction that they won't go through is a load of garbage, Morocco taking it to Croatia, and a thoroughly disappointing clash between 'now or never' Belgium and overhyped Canada ey...Also sorry for not talking about homeboy CR7 yesterday, I did a bit today.Please continue to like/subscribe/share/tell your buddies and of course, leave abusive comments if you disagree with something I say; I love those, I love internet football fandom X

Day 3 of the World Cup has come and gone sitheads and I'm getting real cranky now.We saw four diverse matches play out, including two 0-0s which I discuss a little, the historic defeat of Argentina by a resurgent Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and finally the sadly, according to script thrashing of Australia by world champs France.I had a bit of a rant about how that's simply not good enough, and we as Australian football fans deserve better. Let me know if I'm being unpatriotic or wrong or whatever in the commentsAlso please like/subscribe/tell your friends!

Day 2 of the World Cup is done and dusted and I'm already tired and cranky as fuck.I watched three very different games including England somehow being good against a very disappointing Iran, a wonderful match between very good but somewhat profligate Netherlands and Senegal, and a fun draw between Wales and the Yanks.We chat about the pride armBAN, De Jong's hadouken, and why Fratelli D'Italia is better than the Star Spangled Banner.Like/subscribe/tell your friends and thanks for listening/watching
