JJ Gabriel Wants Out of Man United, Brighton and Brentford's Analytics Empire, and the Ballon d'Or Race | TEN21 Podcast Episode 26

Castro, Konky, and Rupert break down Manchester United's 12th-place crisis, the JJ Gabriel viral saga (including Castro's five-year-old Instagram DM story), and a genuinely wild football business story — how Brighton owner Tony Bloom (Star Lizard) and Brentford owner Matthew Benham (Smart Odds) spent 20 years running rival betting analytics firms and now sit 3rd and 4th in the Premier League.

Plus the Ballon d'Or race between Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, Mbappé, and Messi (and whether MLS players should even be eligible), Antonela Roccuzzo speaking English publicly for the first time, the strict-dad debate covering Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan and Messi, Raphinha as the best #9 in the world, and comments from the Hex episode including a Mark Cuban tweet on AI vs climate change extinction probability.
