The boys whine about the postponement of the first el clasico of the season, and explain why the current political situation in Spain ruined both of their team's chances for an early start on bragging rights for the season. Payton revels in Barca's 3-0 win over Eibar, and cautions against any further optimism after his team narrowly escaped dropping points again in Champions League after their 2-1 win over Slavia Praha. Mark wonders if he will ever get to relax even when Real Madrid win this season after they squeaked by a vastly inferior opponent yet again with their season-saving win over Galatasaray in the Champions League. Mark and Payton also once again wonder why their coaches insist on playing key players out of position, and everyone wonders where the heck Gareth Bale is.
