Manage episode 501221798 series 2723877
Mubarak and Abdulazeez bring you the weekend’s football action with culture, banter, and real issues that matter. In this episode, the duo start with some chatter about reality TV before diving into the Premier League weekend: Arsenal’s win over Manchester United and Chelsea’s draw with Crystal Palace, plus more.
They also reflect on the tragic passing of Suleiman Obeid, the beloved “Palestinian Pelé,” who was killed by Israeli forces while queuing for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The conversation explores how Mohamed Salah amplified the situation by publicly calling out UEFA’s tribute on X, demanding accountability for how the football world addresses such tragedies. The hosts also touch on Semenyo’s racial abuse and the wider issues of racism and discrimination in football and society. From the pitch to pop culture, it’s authentic, engaging, and unfiltered conversation every football fan can connect with.
