We at We Ate All the Pies are saddened by the passing of legendary football commentator John Motson. For Brits, he was the voice of BBC Match of the Day; for Americans, he was THE commentator for several editions of the FIFA video game series. But everyone will recognize his classic voice. We will all miss his exclamations and his comforting method of taking an audience through a match. But mostly, we will miss the joy he brought to every game. The best way to carry on now is to find as much joy in the matches and moments of this beautiful game as Motty did every week. RIP, you legend of the gantry.


Caleb is off this week, so Jordan and Adam take some time to rant about their clubs (especially Adam, so get ready for a lot of Hammers rage). They preview the League Cup final between an expectant Newcastle and a red hot Manchester United. A discussion of English clubs' bad week in Europe turns into a session on how to fix Liverpool, and we peer down the table to see who is moving closer to the Premier League Moon Door. Also, MLS is back! Wooo!
