Humorous New Year & Tottenham's Consistency

00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Tottenham Podcast, and while it may be New Year, New You, it's still very much the same old Tottenham, and as Ange grumbles more than my insides after making the switch from an entirely quality street and Baileys based diet to normal human food, we look ahead with a mix of trepidation and perhaps some misguided hope as Tottenham prepare to host Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final tonight at 8pm UK time.

Introducing Oliver and His Football Journey

00:00:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Joe Forrester here, Chris Mervyn here as well, and delighted to say we've got a new addition to the squad. um Oliver, mate, welcome to the Daily Tottenham Podcast.
00:00:39
Oliver
Thank you very much. I'm excited to be here and I'm excited for tonight as well.
00:00:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mate, I love that. that's the That's the best thing about being a football fan. It's the bit before the actual football when anything can happen. um just just Just for a bit of background for the listeners, um Oliver, mate, like why why Spurs? kind of why How come you're a Tottenham fan? um Talk to us about your Tottenham journey.
00:00:59
Oliver
Um, I was actually, when I was really, really young, my dad made me support Man United, but
00:01:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ah.
00:01:09
Oliver
I didn't really have a choice in in the matter, but then I wanted to support what my granddad supported and he supported Spurs.
00:01:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:01:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.

Familial Football Loyalties & Rivalries

00:01:17
Oliver
So I chose Spurs and I've been with them ever since and I wouldn't change it.
00:01:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
My, yeah, like my auntie ah once asked me kind of, what would you do if any of your kids ah didn't want to support Spurs? And I just said, it sounds bad, but I think I just love them less than the others.
00:01:34
Oliver
yeah
00:01:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's fair, isn't it, Chris?
00:01:37
Chris Mervyn
I'm with you on that one definitely. ah got My wife's brother is a Liverpool fan and he bought a kit for my youngest when he was little. I let him wear it because I thought you know what I'm not going to force him into choosing which one.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool Match Preview

00:01:50
Chris Mervyn
Luckily he saw the right side or the wrong side depending on which way you're looking at it and he's the Spurs fan now but for a moment there I just thought adoption?
00:01:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Do you know what? Your brother-in-law knows what he's doing there. like he know He knows what he's gone for there, and it's you're like, okay, it's war. um Right, let's ah let's have a look ahead to so tonight's game. Obviously, Spurs play in Liverpool, Carabao Cup, first leg.
00:02:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah in the semi final, obviously Tottenham absolutely battered by Liverpool when we played a week ago, a couple of weeks ago, I've still not quite got track of time in that weird bit between Christmas and New Year and where we are now. um Obviously Spurs currently 12th in the Premier League. ah Liverpool only one loss so far this season, although ah two will draw against Man United, which I think surprised a few people at the weekend.
00:02:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Chris, starting off with you, i kind of what are your top line, what are your feelings heading into tonight? When you woke up this morning, what kind of a ah day do you think it was going to be for Tottenham fans?
00:02:52
Chris Mervyn
I've got a couple of fear, trepidation, a little bit of anger. Never do it with football. No, I think that, I think we'll be okay this tonight. So, you know, we had over 50% of the possession. I think that Liverpool, they're going through a little bit of a period now where people are questioning them. But the title challenges, if you look at Arsenal, they're faltering as well and blaming things like wrong shaped ball or whatever they they they said about the ball they used last night in the Caribbean Cup.
00:03:25
Chris Mervyn
um So yeah, i I'm um okay. i've I've got over the the Christmas period. um I'm now backing Ange again. Not that I wasn't backing him, but I was questioning him.
00:03:39
Chris Mervyn
um But now he's got no players.
00:03:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:42
Chris Mervyn
I could get behind the team, I mean, that's all you can do

Ange's Philosophy & Future at Spurs

00:03:44
Chris Mervyn
as a Spurs fan sometimes.
00:03:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:45
Chris Mervyn
And um you know, I've never seen any success with any teams I've supported. um apart from the gas going era but other than that you know yeah um i'm quite positive in it really i think we'll be okay as long as we don't go if we stay in it we've got a chance
00:04:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ollie, straight away, like Chris mentioned Ange, right? And I feel like Ange, I've heard from Ange more this Christmas than anyone apart from my own family members. He has been an absolute renter quote for the past two and a half weeks. ah don't know I don't know what's got into him. um Where do you stand on on the big man, his philosophy, kind of his long-term future at Spurs?
00:04:26
Oliver
I have been 100% Anjin and I have never wavered from that. He is, I believe he is the manager that will win us a trophy after this long wait. And I just, I just don't see any point in sacking him now. <unk> We're doing the rebuild.

Tottenham's Tactical Approach & Challenges

00:04:44
Oliver
We've gone for a rebuild manager after Kontay, Mourinho, Nuno. And why, why sack him is season and a half in. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
00:04:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Okay. I mean, I would buy that. He ah he said um our league results have been poor. There's no hiding from that, but it's a separate competition tonight. We've done well to get to the semifinal. We've beaten both Manchester clubs, not necessarily a brag talking about beating Manchester United.
00:05:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, these days, but hey, um hasn't been an easy road to semi-final. Obviously we've got an opponent that's been the standout team in every competition. It's a great test for us. It should be exciting. Um, look I know he thinks kind of everything should be exciting and broadly speaking, I'm.
00:05:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
um manjib like I It does slightly gall me a little bit when I watch us kind of play a couple of right backs or Ben Davis and Radu Dragison at center back and whatever with Fraser Forster behind them. And there's still kind of an insistence on Tiki Taka at the back. I do think sometimes when I get it the overall flight, I do think you need to be a little bit prompt more pragmatic sometimes, especially if you're suffering with injuries.
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I agree, like if everybody's fit and he's got the players he wants and the system's in full flow, yeah, who knows, potentially he he could be the man to take us forward. And I certainly don't think, kind of as you said, Ollie, that there's, well, I'm kind of putting words in your mouth here, but I don't think there's much else out there.
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Liverpool are probably the best team in the country at the moment, aren't they, Chris? it's um it's It's a very, very tough test.
00:06:15
Chris Mervyn
and youan 100%. All the Nottingham Forest fans would say actually their team is doing pretty good to be fair as an overall, but they're overachieving aren't they really? they They're playing to the maximum. Whereas Liverpool, you know, looking at them, yeah they've done well, but they've still no level to go there if if they all push your ahead. um Whereas, you know, our team, yeah, on our day, God knows, you know, we may well beat a team like that.
00:06:42
Chris Mervyn
Um, and we've, he's got the best chance now in this competition in, in doing that. And then obviously he's got to run a games and we've got ah FA Cup of the weekend, which no doubt he'll have to rest some players he's got to.
00:06:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:06:54
Chris Mervyn
Um, and depending on how it goes tonight, I guess you'll, you'll make a decision on which personnel play in that month, that one. Um, and then, uh, the arsenal next week, isn't it?
00:07:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep, it's even when you say it's that kind of build up when you're a couple of weeks out from a North London Derby, it's all you really care about, isn't it?
00:07:06
Chris Mervyn
Fantastic.
00:07:13
Chris Mervyn
yeah no i' i'll take a win sorry I'll take a win tonight and I'll lose out of the FA Cup if that makes sense.
00:07:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ollie kind of
00:07:20
Chris Mervyn
I'll do play well tonight out of the FA Cup and compete against Arsenal if he has to manage that that team. you know i mean say
00:07:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah. sure Surely,

Injury Impact on Spurs vs. Liverpool Lineup

00:07:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
but even if we kind of do that deal with the devil, it's very hard for Spurs to get knocked out by Tamworth. That would have to be even for Spurs.
00:07:38
Chris Mervyn
Go and wash your mouth out right now. Off you go. You know it's gonna happen. Every Spurs fan I know does this. Yeah, it'll be fine. I've done it myself on this podcast. We should beat them, shouldn't we? I can't see us, not being winning that against them. And then we we go and do a Spurs-y thing.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Look, we're going to talk injuries in a few moments, like injury sickness, kind of you name it, it has hit Spurs. um But first up, this podcast is part of the Global Sports Podcast Network, the only network bringing you exclusive daily news and views on your Premier League team, the Premier League, women's football and fantasy football.

Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right, I'm going to do some of Spurs' injuries now and forgive me if I've forgotten any. So, Vaccario, a doggy, van der Verne, Davis, romea is ah is ah ah Romero,
00:08:30
Chris Mervyn
Jack. Jack. Sir.
00:08:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Richarlison, Madison and Saar are both suspended. I've got, if if I haven't got anything wrong, I've got a potential lineup here of Kinske, we'll talk about old Kinske, Kinske boots, Kinky Kinske, whatever we want to call him, um in a few moments time.
00:08:54
Chris Mervyn
Yeah. It's great on YouTube, didn't they? Christ.
00:08:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mate, he looks
00:08:58
Chris Mervyn
Better with his feet than and and then obviously the other ones we've got. and Austin, yeah, he played an adequate game, but... And he's actually better with his feet than 4-star, I thought. But, yeah.
00:09:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know what he, the the thing is about Austin is he's 25, right? He's 26 today, I believe.
00:09:13
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:09:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, um, happy birthday.
00:09:14
Oliver
Yeah.
00:09:16
Chris Mervyn
Have a birthday.
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And hopefully if I was going to, yeah, well, literally, I was just going to say, hopefully if he plays clean sheet for his birthday, um, but 25 years old to get your first first team appearance.
00:09:17
Chris Mervyn
You dropp you dropped.
00:09:19
Oliver
look at
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think his last game was three years ago in the States playing for one of the Orlando clubs. Cause I know he's on loan in the MLS and I think he did very well there.
00:09:33
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:09:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I just wonder if kind of what it is that's kept him away from kind of top level first team football. um for that amount of time. But in terms of a lineup, I've got it maybe as Kinski Poirot drag us in, if he's over his sickness, Grey, same thing, Spence, Persuma, Bentencourt, Johnson, Kulesevsky, Sun, Solanki. So still a decent team. Ollie, what have you made of the the injuries and the sickness that has ravaged Spurs? How much of an impact do you think it's had?
00:10:01
Oliver
ah Massive one. I mean we can't really look into the results too much, I think, um because we we we don't have a defense in most games.
00:10:11
Oliver
um And we're having to play, I think we had Spence as a centre back in our last match, which is just ridiculous.
00:10:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:10:22
Oliver
It just shows what kind of um stay we're in right now.
00:10:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:10:25
Oliver
And Reggaeon is getting big minutes in 2025 for us. I just can't believe it.
00:10:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's back. He's back, mate. Like, honestly, like, yes, both fans do not adjust your sets. I've always had a soft spot for Sergio Rekion. Could you remember when I'm... Jose Mourinho gave him that giant piece of ham.
00:10:42
Oliver
yeah yeah and he was alone on christmas so um marina treated him
00:10:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you remember that for Christmas? but so
00:10:49
Chris Mervyn
Was that an in joke? As in, yeah, you know yeah,
00:10:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think for the part of Spain that he's from, they that's the traditional ham they eat. but But what he's sort of done is he's kind of gone, you can't cut around my house on Christmas, but here's a giant piece of ham big enough to feed a family, even though you're not with your family.
00:11:05
Chris Mervyn
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, so it's a very Jose move. There's probably some sort of mind game behind it, um but I've always felt sympathetic for him. i mean Do you know what, Chris, like what do what do you make of kind of potential lineup?
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
As Ollie said, probably looking at, I mean, in the last game, we had ah two right backs, if you call Gray a right back. um And obviously, Jed Spence playing at center half. Roddy Dragerson's

Unpredictable Nature of Cup Football

00:11:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
obviously not, he's had a bit of a patchy start, I suppose.
00:11:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
I understand that he was one of the people suffering with sickness, um which is obviously why it's come off. So I mean, it is a very kind of patched up team at the moment, isn't it?
00:11:39
Chris Mervyn
um
00:11:42
Chris Mervyn
Mate, do you want you want me to say it, don't you? Okay, it is what it is, mate. There you go. And, you know, he we're turning to cliches, aren't we? it we We don't have a choice, do we? That's what it is. So, I was, Dragga-san, yeah, he's obviously ill, but all right to play half. And then at at the half-time, he was all right, he had to go off. But obviously, yeah, after letting that sort of,
00:12:07
Chris Mervyn
deflection into Azak's feet as well. um I'd be a bit, yeah, I'm not feeling very good, I'm going to be off. But in saying that, Spence did all right, actually. I thought, at least he's got a bit of speed um and it made him defend.
00:12:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:19
Chris Mervyn
um So, yeah, and Berghvalve did well when he was ah when he started as well. I think there were a lot of positives to take from it, really, against a really good team, to be honest.
00:12:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
When we look at Liverpool, um pretty much full strength for them to be honest. ah No Joe Gomez and Dominic Slobbersly is ill apart from that. Pretty much a full strength team, I suppose, massively impacted um ah by illness and injury. Liverpool have lost just two of their last 24 Premier League games against Tottenham, by the way. um Obviously,
00:12:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
very, very kind of different form going into this. 6-3 in the last game over the last 37 meetings, Spurs have won eight, Liverpool have won 21. There's been eight draws. 24 match unbeaten run for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah scoring for fun. I mean, yeah, lots lots of kind of stats there for us to digest. But Chris, you don't you you've you've got a face that says that means nothing. It's cup football.
00:13:20
Chris Mervyn
Well, you've just answered yeah your own question, i mate. Yeah, i I think it is. ah It's cup football, anything could have really happened. Of course, they're the better team. They've been the better team for a long, you know many years. They've

Goalkeeping & Squad Quality at Spurs

00:13:29
Chris Mervyn
been a lot stronger than us for the last couple of years. um I think they will go ready to be strong from what I've been hearing anyway, Liverpool. I think they're going to go out there and you know they need it. It's a chance of some silverware, isn't it? and In his first season, I think it's a good thing for for slot as well. say um But like I said to you before we started the podcast today, if we stay in it, I think that's important.
00:13:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:13:50
Chris Mervyn
Um, and you know, because we've got the capacity and ability to score one or two, um, free no down, that'd be a bit harder away, obviously, but we, I wouldn't knock us right us off if we are one no down, perhaps or losing by one goal.
00:14:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Chris, you mentioned Kinski actually. What's like, what's he there to do? Is he there to be number two, or is he there to be number three enforcers number two? Is he there to challenge Vicario? What do you think he's been brought in for?
00:14:19
Chris Mervyn
We're going to see, aren't we? I think the all the YouTube clips are generally for shots shot saves and using his feet, and the ones I've seen anyway.
00:14:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:14:26
Chris Mervyn
and I haven't seen but anything else about him, really. And of course, he's quite new into the team he was it who he's coming from anyway. I think he's only had half a season there, done very well. But before that, he was out on alone, I believe. So um there was no doubt that Vicario, there were question marks over him anyway.
00:14:42
Chris Mervyn
100%. It's a great shot stopper, um but again, playing at the ball out from the back, you've got to be composing your feet, you've got to be able to take it, and obviously Forster's been found out because of that, and Forster is a good shot stopper as well, as long as it's not too low for him to get down, because he's a big unit, isn't he?
00:14:59
Chris Mervyn
But Vicario's a good player, and hopefully it'll push both of them on to be the best they can be ultimately, and that's what you need.
00:15:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:15:05
Chris Mervyn
We've got
00:15:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:15:06
Chris Mervyn
We've got a a drop in in quality, haven't we? And that's probably right across the squad, really. We've got some good good players, but from where we want to be is is ah is a big jump from the players we've got. And when those players aren't performing like Madison, Koulis-Erskia and off-game, we haven't got anybody else to take those places and push them up to the next level. And goalkeepers, well, we but could probably field 11 goalkeepers, can we?
00:15:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah of various ages and quality.
00:15:32
Chris Mervyn
Well, you've got Josh, is like Josh Keeley as well. Um, he's doing well as well as me on loan.
00:15:35
Oliver
Yeah.
00:15:36
Chris Mervyn
So, and he was talked about coming back in and and maybe being the number three anyway. So.
00:15:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ollie, what do you reckon? Because obviously we've got, this now gives us a couple of certainly very decent, we hope as as Chris has kind of, we've seen Kinsey on YouTube, but also stats in in ah the Chet League and in the Europa League are pretty good, to be honest. We now got a couple of very decent goalkeepers I wonder if this is kind of part of Angie's plan. I touched on it earlier about not, you kind of never sacrifice the philosophy. And I guess that's because he wants, like all managers, two 11s who are kind of very well drilled in that. I mean, I guess the the question I'm kind of getting to in a roundabout way is, is how do you feel about the Kinski signing? And also is there is there anywhere else you think will look to strengthen in January?
00:16:23
Oliver
I think the Kinski signing is a very good signing because Mercario is going to be out until the end of February, I believe. And I don't think we can survive how many games we've got until then with Four Star and Austin. So we've got some quality. He looks quality. And Ange isn't the kind of manager who will buy players for the sake of buying players. There's a reason he's been brought in He said he'd been looking at him ah to get in the summer potentially, um but he that's been moved forward and I'm excited about him. He looks really good with the ball at his feet. um Yeah, like looks very good.
00:17:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice, yeah, looking forward to seeing him. Might even be tonight that we see him. um Right, we're going to talk about predictions in a few moments time. But first up, do you have a story to tell that the world needs to hear? Have you struggled with reaching new audiences who are engaged with your story?

Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right, the boffins at Opta have broken down the percentage outcomes for tonight's game. They have a Liverpool winners 55%, likely a drawers 25% and the Spurs win at 20%.
00:17:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bear in mind, this is a home game um for Tottenham.
00:17:59
Chris Mervyn
So you're telling me we've got a chance?
00:18:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's always a chance. we play this game What they're saying is we play this game five times, Spurs will win one, um which is quite depressing. but But Chris, firstly, can Spurs win
00:18:12
Chris Mervyn
Yes.
00:18:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's your prediction?
00:18:14
Chris Mervyn
Yes.
00:18:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And how how do how do we beat Liverpool? How do we beat Liverpool?
00:18:18
Chris Mervyn
It doesn't matter how how I think it's going to be beat Liverpool, he'sll they'll play the same way as they always do and they've just got to take their chances haven't they? It depends on the Liverpool I don't know what you think about the defence of Liverpool, because the for me, they haven't they've obviously got a good defence, but sometimes they look a little little bit frail and I think we we could if as long as we capitalise on our on the chances, then we've got a chance, haven't we?
00:18:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:18:43
Chris Mervyn
So how do I think it's going to go? Of course I'm going to go for a Spurs win, because you know I'm a Spurs fan and you should do that, um even though I possibly think it's going to be a tougher tougher to get to get to that point, but I think we might win by 2-1. There we go. 2-1. There we go.
00:19:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
There we go. I mean, I think, I think the, the two leg format hurts us a little bit.

Optimistic Game Predictions & Episode Close

00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cause you'd kind of say a one-off game, anything can happen, but then with that background knowledge of going back to Anfield, that kind of, that does bother me because as well as it goes tonight, that's tough and it's going to be another night game at Anfield.
00:19:06
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:19:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think first week of Feb, it's going to be, um, Olly, Olly, what do you reckon?
00:19:19
Chris Mervyn
and

I mean, I kind of think you look at Liverpool always think maybe you try and get in behind Trent. Um, that would probably be Sergio Reggae on to be fair.
00:19:25
Oliver
yeah Yeah, I agree.
00:19:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
decent experienced player just hasn't really worked out for him at Spurs in the last few seasons. um that's That's the only weakness, if you want to call it that, that I can see and probably what what I think the manager might be looking to do. What do you reckon?
00:19:43
Oliver
I think Trent is their weak point. I think he's very bad defensively and I'm hoping Mikey Moore is back and he can get a cameo off the bench because I think Mikey Moore up against Trent it could be a big problem for Trent and um you never know we could grab it grab a goal late on through him but I think uh two on Tottenham two on Tottenham yeah
00:20:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
2-1 Tottenham.
00:20:04
Chris Mervyn
Yes.
00:20:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Chris, we didn't actually get a score prediction. What's your score prediction?
00:20:07
Chris Mervyn
I did, I said 2-1.
00:20:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
2-1, you said 2-1 as well. Sorry, sorry.
00:20:10
Chris Mervyn
yeah
00:20:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
2-1...
00:20:12
Chris Mervyn
4-0, gone.
00:20:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know... um I'm gonna go...
00:20:17
Chris Mervyn
It's going big, I can see it in your eyes.
00:20:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
3-1 Spurs.
00:20:22
Chris Mervyn
Yes, and that's a kind of upscore in it, I like it.
00:20:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
3-1 Spurs, then... Then liverpool rattling to a two-nil lead, uh, anfield we hold on and then a late, I don't know, a late, a late Radu draggers in header, um, from a corner deep in injury time with suspicions about whether the goal should have stood because there's elbows flying everywhere and stuff.
00:20:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, and it's the start of draggers journey at spurs. It makes him a cult hero.
00:20:46
Oliver
I think he'll be on the bench by then. Romero will be back by then, I think.
00:20:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
but So maybe, okay, to make so Romero's been sent off, obviously, right? So we've rejigged things a little bit. Maybe Timo Werner's come off or something, and Radi Dragacin's in there. That's, there we go.
00:21:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's that's more incredibly, it's that's all complete nonsense when we lose 4-0 tonight.
00:21:02
Oliver
That's what gonna happen.
00:21:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
But no, there we go. 3-1 Spurs, it's a clean sweep. um Look, thank you very much, guys. Really appreciate it. um Fingers crossed, Angie's right, and he wins things in his second season, and Spurs kind of comfortably get through this first leg.
00:21:18
Chris Mervyn
the pressure mate, the pressure, but you know, you've got to put it out there and actually be brave enough to go and get it, haven't you? So all we can do is hope.
00:21:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's what we do, mate.
00:21:25
Chris Mervyn
Yeah, all we can do is hope and actually back the team and what we'll be, we'll be.
00:21:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
There we go. I like it. Very fatalistic. um Look, thank you very much, guys. um Cheers, Chris. Thank you very much.
00:21:35
Chris Mervyn
All right mate, catch you later on.
00:21:37
