Jack Gaughan the Northern Sports reporter for The Daily Mail makes his 4th guest spot returning to talk all things Manchester City with CrunkChocolate in a hilarious, laidback, and informative episode

TOPICS:

- Intro

- Does Manchester City end the season in a top 5 position in the Premier League?

- Ticket price problem at Man City and Premier League. Man City and the league are profitable businesses. Why do they seem so interested in taking out the every day, local fanbase? Are we at a point of no return?

- Ederson has dealt with injuries for almost a year. We know how important he is to how Pep wants to play. Can he be relied on anymore? Are there talks of him leaving?

- In our first ever recording you gave me pushback when I wasn’t sold on James McAtee. Pep recently said how he would like James to stay. Have you seen growth from the player this season? Does Pep mean those words or is he trying to raise the transfer fee?

- Morgan Gibbs-White is an undeniable talent. The rumored fee to bring him to Man City feels heavy to me. Is he worth the price? Is there a more affordable English player Man City could bring in?

- Are you coming to the States for the Club World Cup? Thoughts on the competition? How will Manchester City handle the transfer window while in a competition?

Today we welcome on Oeste on to talk all things Arsenal, golf, and more! Remember if you want to watch more than the 15 minutes available you can subscribe to our $6 tier of Patreon where you can enjoy our library of amazing episodes! Subscribe here: patreon.com/user?u=94168109

Welcomed on Anthony DiCicco who is the son of USWNT Coach from 1994-1999. He joined CrunkChocolate for a wonderful discussion about how he fell in love with the sport, a bit on his father, the growth in US Women's soccer, and more.

TOPICS:

- Intro

- How did you fall in love with soccer/football

- You have a truly one of a kind experience being the son of Tony DiCicco experiencing the USWNT squad. Did it feel like you were seeing the birth of the US women’s football renaissance?

- Watching the women’s game grow in the US. What are the next step(s) for the game to continue to grow?

- Conversation about which is the “better” league between NWSL and WSL. Is there a correct answer or should we enjoy the leagues for what each offers?

- USMNT has disappointed many for some time under this golden generation? Should we as fans accept that getting to the round of 16 in the WC and possibly being the best club in CONCACAF is all we will get? Does the US Soccer fan base expect too much from the squad?

CrunkChocolate, Tarik, Thom Bomb, and Sharpie Charlie are back covering BOTH Manchester City Men and Women!
