Summary

Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and host Jack Collins are joined by Rhys James, star of the UK comedy circuit and avid Tottenham Hotspur fan, to talk about some of the reasons that make supporting Spurs an absolute nightmare; with plenty of laughs and a helping hand from the 'World Cup Catfish' Kieran Trippier. Hot Takes include Dean's defence of why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the right man for the Manchester United job; Sam's Kylian Mbappe conundrum and an explanation of why his ability is so hard to place in the footballing world; and a deep dive on Shkodran Mustafi, who's taking a fair amount of stick from the Arsenal fanbase right now. In this week's Bleacher Roulette, we think about whether Pep would be a good international manager, which players would have the worst Uber ratings, and the players that we'd like to see as a President or Prime Minister; before Sam rounds things off by ranking the most overrated things in the world-and which footballer players they correlate to.
