Karan, Vishal, and Tareque convene one last time for this season to look back at the Champions League final, and discuss how Luis Enrqiue's joyful football philosophy put the spark back in Soccer Sense's own footballing funk.
Karan, Vishal, and Tareque are back for a full panel pod about the joys of finishing on the pinnacle of English football positions: 8th, 9th, and 10th. We talk about the beauty of the three Bs - Bournemouth, Brighton, and Brentford - who finished there and why these clubs in and of themselves are fascinating case studies of what the essence of football truly is.
Tareque and Karan bring you a special follow up episode to our last week's Serie A roundup episode because apparently drama that would have even Lenin shook was packed into one weekend and affected all parts of the table.
Tareque and Soccer Sense's Calcio Correspondent Karan make up the panel this week that gives you the Soccer Sense season primer of the Serie A season - which Milan is annoying Juve fan Karan the most, and how is Gasperini like Ethan Hunt, and will Serie A see the holy vacation trifecta in it next season? All of these, answered.
Vishal and Tareque get together to question Karan's conspicuous absence of reaction on the epic that was the Barca v Inter semifinal, and train the Soccer Sense Meter on the tie, with some surprising insights about age and experience from Vishal himself.
PGK, Srinath, Nitin, Tareque and Max sat together for Episode 167, moments after yet another South Indian Derby classic, and once again, RCB turned the tables and the memes on their cross-border bugbear CSK, whose 'worst ever season by any team in the history of the IPL' gets worse with every passing day.Join for chatter around the DRS clock, Mumbai Indians' ability to bend time, KKR's stuttering campaign, Gujarat's Tamilians, Kohli's Instagram, Kagiso's recreational habits, justice for Champak the magazine and much more. And in case you missed it the previous 84 times, do listen to installment 85 of BnP's ready reckoner on the IPL copyrights situation.We are on Twitter:Bits and Pieces: https://x.com/bnp_cricketSrinath: https://x.com/srinathsripathNitin: https://x.com/knittinsPGK: https://x.com/peegeekayMax: https://x.com/maxdavinciTareque: https://x.com/tarequelaskar
Was Pirlo on the PS5 controller when Rice stepped up to take the freekicks against Real Madrid? Are Bayern Munich cut out for an Italian Job? And will Villa Park be metal enough in the second leg? All these and many more questions tackled in our Champions League Quarterfinal Reviews as Tareque and Soccer Sense's European Correspondent - Karan - take the mic.
PDP, Max and Tareque assemble after India demolish Pakistan in the much hyped league fixture of the Champions Trophy. The gang acknowledges the irony of Pakistan getting eliminated early from their home tournament after playing an away game. Lots of chatter around Aus v Eng, Afg v SA, Ban v Ind and other games from the first week of the tournament.Does anyone read these words? If so, let us know if you need us to continue to plug our twitter handle. (or just go to the previous episode, and get the details there while also increasing our view count :-)
This week, much like Manchester City's midfield, we put in only 2/3rd of the effort, as partial panel Tareque and European Correspondent Karan break down the sense and nonsense of the pulsating Champions League encounter between Real Madrid and City and look ahead to the return leg.
Bits and Pieces assembles to survey the train-wreck that is the Indian cricket team discipline policy document leak, including the strange luggage stipulations, spousal visitations, team bus situations and domestic cricket directives. Nitin, Murali, PDP and Tareque catch up at 1 30 AM outside a kebab joint and stay clear of yellow journalists, where they also review India's 2-0 lead in the England T20s, Motie-ji's amritkaal for West Bharat, and effectively jinx Aqib Javed's masterplan for the next WTC.

As the dust settles and the tears subside, Bits and Pieces looks back wistfully at India's glorious decade in Test cricket that culminated with the BGT loss in Australia. Join PDP, Tareque, Hank, Nitin and Vishal as they relive the biggest highs of the era, and get so overwhelmed by the enormity of the moment that they also start looking at stats and all that.

Vishal, Karan, and Tareque are back with a new season, beginning with a look back at 2024, and seeking the sense behind Nottingham Forest's rise and City's fall. And on a cold Wednesday night, somewhat removed from Stoke, Karan tries to explain Juventus' strange unbeaten Serie A run.
Tareque and Vishal are back after a long hiatus - older and wiser - about how they fell a little out of love with the game and how they are reconciling themselves to fall in love with the game again. And oh yes, somehow Manchester United are still crap :/
It's year 3 of Bits and Pieces, and on episode 105 Tony, PGK, Mohan, Murali, Tareque and surprise guest Iman talk about how the balance of the universe is maintained, about the primacy of Presidents and Secretaries, of the team that turned up for Bihar, and why England is correct in bringing a Chef to India.

It's been a glorious week, one in which Sanju Samson has scored a scintillating century to win India an ODI series in South Africa. So, Max, Varun, and Tareque get together to discuss everything else. From Punjab Paddlers' Shashank redemption, to Hyderabad's Hyper bids, we've got you covered. Join us this holiday season for all the action from the world of cricket, and a deconstruction of the IPL auctions and teams, that's as long and entertaining as the IPL itself.

THAT WILL GET US HIGHER AD CLICKS!! 4:20 pm Last month we featured Harris County District Attorney Office's Assistant DA Shiela Hansel who talked to us about identity theft, which is one of the most common types of consumer fraud but there was still such a lot of information that she had to impart on credit card fraud that we asked her to come back again and share it with us. Consumer fraud is commonly defined as deceptive business practices that cause consumers to suffer financial or other losses. The victims believe they are participating in a legal and valid business transaction when they are actually being defrauded. Sheila is with us again in the studio today. WE REGRET THAT THE AUDIO WAS NOT RECORDED DUE TO A TECHNICAL GLITCH 4:50 pm Indian food is a dual-edged sword: we love its rich sauces, flavors and varieties from every region of the country but it is high in oils, carbohydrates and sugars and low in protein, especially the vegetarian dishes. A constant diet of this can lead to complications of diabetes and high blood pressure. We turn to Diksha Dee Gautham who struggled with her own fitness and launched her startup - The Boss Body Revolution, an online Nutrition and Fitness coaching company - to help other women build lasting, sustainable health through their habits and mindset, to explain how to turn things around for a healthier you. 5:20 pm Although he has the education of a computer engineer and works in the technology field, Ali Tarique's heart, even from an early age, was into the creative arts – recitation, drama, music and literature - which he dabbled in during his college years in Bangladesh where he was also a contributor to the English newspaper The Daily Star.

Tareque, Karan, and Vishal are back again with a new instalment of searching for Soccer Sense amidst all the madness this week of France and Australia's penalty theatrics literally spilling over into a theater, and a Premier League opening weekend that answered a lot of questions but raised many interesting ones.

Another ICC final, another Indian defeat. The stoicism of the Bits and Pieces panel is tested to the limit, but they show up again (unlike India's Test side) for Episode 75, which spans the soap opera that is India selection, Ashwin's omission, Umesh's inclusion, Shardul's protrusion, Kohli-Pujara-Rohit-Gill's enduring irritation, Rahane's resurrection, Head's accumulation, Starc's excretion and the MCC manual's arbitrary catch arbitration.

It started in a frenzy, and to tactically breakdown that madcap game that was Liverpool v Leeds, Soccer Sense's resident tactician Vishal joins Tareque as we usher the new season in.
Karan and Tareque look ahead to the 2020/21 Premier League season where, while the chasing pack has brought in reinforcements, the champion and the contender will have to deal with that nasty thing called regression to mean.
Vishal is back as he joins Tareque to analyse how Bayern Munich will match up against PSG in the Final of what has been a protracted Champions League season but may have one final intriguing encounter still left in his tank.
Tareque and Soccer Sense's European correspondent, Karan, unpack the absolute madness unleashed by the last two quarterfinals in the single elimination format, the X-factor that Leipzig might bring and ponder whether Pep and Barcelona's meltdowns are symptoms of deeper systemic issues.
Our European correspondent, Karan, joins Tareque to break down the ousting of Juventus and Real Madrid from the Champions League and look forward to whether Manchester City and Pep Guardiola can finally land that elusive white whale that is a Champions League semifinal appearance.
