It's Timbers Time! In this week’s episode Chris and Matt are in a celebratory mood as the Timbers spank Sporting Kansas City 6-0, with multiple bangers to discuss. After enjoying the win, there’s reflection on what this result means, is it enough to keep Phil in a job? Was it a more dominant win than RSL had over us? We then wrap up with some Pants ceiling chat and a Montreal away preview.

This episode's key talking points include:

• What does this result mean for Phil’s future?

• How does our domination of SKC compare to RSL’s domination of us?

• We look great in possession (when there’s no ball pressure)

• Velde scores a long range banger to spite Matt

• Best songs for the TA to sing when we’re up 4-0

• Is showboating disrespectful to the opposition?

• How second half substitutes sprung the team back into life

• Kelsy’s redemption arc - Are we still going to go for a DP 9?

• How much can you read into individual performances against such poor opposition?

• Why Chris thinks it’s worth paying attention to press conferences

• Can Pantemis improve his distribution and dribbling?

• Chara in a popemobile?

• Montreal (A) Preview
