The Evan and Aaron Show

11/13/2025

Greetings, Reds and Blues! The north wind has blown in, and winter is coming. But has it reached across the pond? Let’s see how our clubs have fared as we race toward the final international break of the year.

Chelsea eked out a win in an unnecessarily thrilling Carabao Cup match with Wolves, where they yet again failed to finish with 11 players on the field. This time it was the youngster Delap with a rash challenge late on. Despite their good form, indiscipline may come back to haunt them at some point this season. But at the moment they will be happy with their league form. A 1-0 win over London rivals Spurs and a comfortable 3-0 win over Wolves (twice in the span of a week) sandwiched a long-distance draw with plucky Qarabag in the CL. That sees them head into the break in 2nd place in the Prem. They will return in a fortnight to face Burnley before 2 big tests against Barcelona and then Arsenal see out November.

United’s unbeaten run has extended to 5 games since the ugly loss to Brentford. Bryan Mbeumo has been the highlight, but Cunha, De Ligt, and Amad have been big contributors as well. However, Ruben may have some concerns with some others’ focus drifting. Despite taking the lead against Forest and Spurs, United had to work hard to salvage late draws from both. With Sesko set to be out for an extended period with a knee injury, the abundance of number 10s will have to take up the slack. And they may need to utilize the January window to supplement the attack. United will return from the break to face a somewhat disjointed Everton at Old Trafford before ending November with a trip south to Palace. 2 wins would go a long way to putting them within touching distance of the top 4 as Christmas approaches, which seemed a far way off not long ago.

The USMNT will definitely be without Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Chris Richards, and Christian Pulisic for their upcoming friendlies with Paraguay and Uruguay. Injuries and a not-quite-complete squad are beginning to be legit worries for Poch with just 7 months to go and few further opportunities to evaluate players. It’s time for those on the fringe to stake their claim or risk driving themselves to next summer’s games. Gio Reyna, we’re looking squarely at you.

The USWNT thrashed New Zealand 6-0 through an Emma Sears hat trick. They will face Italy twice – in Orlando then Ft. Lauderdale – to end 2025.

We’ll be trying to make Whitefish Bay before the gales of November arrive, so join us at 7pm live at Chatham Tap or online through Facebook Live and hopefully YouTube Live. You can also catch us at your leisure on our other platforms listed below. Please like, subscribe, and comment wherever you choose to find us. CHEERS!

Greetings, Reds and Blues! After an extended break we have returned to bring you all of our thoughts about Chelsea, United, and the US national teams. It’s been awhile, so let’s get into it!
Chelsea looked to have some good momentum going, especially with the absence of several key players. It appeared they were enjoying their own version of the Ewing Theory, rattling off 4 wins in a row despite no Cole Palmer. But Sunderland is not accidentally in the Top 4. They rocked up to the Bridge with something to prove, and they stole the points late on in stoppage time. Chelsea did manage to keep 11 players on the field, but that will be little consolation to a side looking to push on from their own Top 4 finish last season. They will get a chance to redeem themselves with a mid-week tilt against bottom-feeding Wolves, though form can sometimes go out the window in the Cup competitions. But it will be the weekend trip across London to face 3rd-place Spurs on Saturday that the fans are eager for. That is followed by another mid-week journey to Azerbaijan and the somewhat surprising Qarabag. A reverse of the Wolves fixture is their present before the final international break of 2025.
We’ve heard it before, and we’ll say it again: “Football. Bloody Hell!” After a disappointing and disjointed start to the season, United have now won 3 games in a row under Amorim. 2 more and a young fan may just get his first haircut in about a year. It was, of course, the win over Liverpool at Anfield that will get the most hype, but all 3 wins have seen them look more composed and together as a team. BHA got themselves back into at 3-2, but a red-hot Mbeumo sealed all the points. The Reds face a struggling Forest side on Saturday before their own trip to Spurs the following weekend. Heading into the break with 5 on the trot and a fresh fade would be an early holiday treat.
The USMNT looked much better with a 1-1 draw with Ecuador followed by a somewhat convincing win over Australia. Paraguay and Uruguay await during the their last camp of 2025. Poch hopefully is finalizing his preferred squad for next summer.
The USWNT took their foot off the gas against Portugal and were made to pay for it, though their thoughts were clearly more about celebrating USWNT Legend Alex Morgan. They did manage to recover in the 2nd game with a 3-1 victory. They will play New Zealand Wednesday night before finishing the year with 2 games against Italy.
We’ll be trying not to have a full field brawl, so join us at 7pm live at Chatham Tap or online through Facebook Live and hopefully YouTube Live. You can also catch us at your leisure on our other platforms listed below. Please like, subscribe, and comment wherever you choose to find us. CHEERS!

Chelsea now heads into the weekend on a 4-game win streak. Injuries to several key players don't appear to have hobbled them. They sit above a plucky Sunderland side on goal differential. Will Chelsea continue their strong run of form?

Manchester United ended nearly a decade of losses away at Anfield with a gutsy team performance. It was also their first time winning 2 games in a row in the Amorim era. BHA sit 1 point behind them heading into Saturday's clash. Is this a United side on the up, or just another false dawn?

Join us for both games this weekend at Chatham Tap Fishers!

10/22/2025

Reminder: we're off again this week due to a family event. We should be back next week.

But did you hear that United beat Liverpool?!?! It's true!

10/14/2025

Scratch that. We'll be off next week as well due to a family commitment.

10/02/2025

Thoughts?

The USMNT announced its 26-man roster for the October friendlies 🇺🇸

How do you feel about Mauricio Pochettino’s squad? 👀

Greetings, fellow gluttons for punishment! Yes, both the Reds and Blues contrived to lose 3-1 each on Saturday. But the manner in which they chose to do so was spectacularly different. Let’s inspect the corpses.

Despite Evan’s poignant, double-edged speculation ahead of last week’s match against United, Chelsea were good value for money in the first half and could have had a larger cushion before disaster struck. As like last weekend, Chelsea were always looking open after a game-changing instant. And former United lad Danny Welbeck popped up to take advantage. The question coming into this game was whether Chelsea could cope for 3 weeks without their talisman Palmer. But he isn’t responsible for reckless passing and rash tackles. They did manage to recover with a victory over Benfica in the Champions League. And while the 3 points are valuable, once again the manner in which they were gained will not instill much hope. Another unnecessary red card late on is also a cause for concern. A visit from a staggering but still strong Liverpool may be an indicator for which direction both teams are heading at the moment.

Manchester United. Woof. Is this the worst we’ve seen in the modern era? I (AG) can see no clear system; no intended patterns of play; no cohesiveness in positional and/or transitional play. I’m clearly not a top-tier manager, but I’m not sure that’s required to see that the “system” isn’t working, players aren’t where they should be, and letting them play would at least give them a chance. I have lost faith. They welcome a surprising Sunderland at the weekend. Another loss may be Amorim’s last.

The USMNT has upcoming friendlies with Ecuador, Australia, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The USWNT has 2 upcoming matches with Portugal before facing New Zealand, all in late October.

We’ll be trying not to have DOGSO VAR decisions that contradict one another in the same game, so join us at 7pm live at Chatham Tap or online through Facebook Live and hopefully YouTube Live. You can also catch us at your leisure on our other platforms listed below. Please like, subscribe, and comment wherever you choose to find us. CHEERS!
