officialgspn: Welcome to the Daily Newcastle Podcast. It's wildcard Wednesday. This is definitely my favourite time of the week.
Jo: apology
officialgspn: week which has seen huge applause go to so many managers over the footballing weekend. Arsenal were on the edge of glory until City snatched a lay point.
officialgspn: Elsewhere there was a bad romance between Forest and Brighton and even more paparazzi along with PSR rules with the Premier League discovering a million reasons on why NUFC's opponents this Saturday are guilty of breaking the rules.
officialgspn: So without further ado, I need to introduce the guests I've got today.
Iain Mackay the Noo: clean
officialgspn: and I've actually got two amazing guests. We are the three OGs of this Daily Newcastle podcast, by the way. We were the first three here. I mean, Ian was here well before me and Joe.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I think there's only one or G, but you were number two and number three, it's fair enough.
officialgspn: and
officialgspn: and
Jo: Oh dear.
officialgspn: thirty one like one o g but we are the first three so you know i'm sticking with i was gonna say a fantastic four but there was only three of us and you know i'm not going there i'll just upset people and i'm not in the mood for upsetting people today as you've already heard you've probably heard both of them but i'm still going to introduce them anyway um the first one i'm going to introduce because me and ian our gentleman is the ginger ninja herself joe how you doing joe
Jo: i Fantastic. Fresh back from kickboxing. It's a perfect timing on that one.
officialgspn: There you go, Ginger Ninja. I got it in. And I am also joined by the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll, Ian Mackay. How you doing, Ian?
Iain Mackay the Noo: Ayatollah. Yeah, i'm I'm doing great listening to me strokes album on me flying carpet. There you go. That's what the Ayatollah of rock and roll will be doing.
officialgspn: See?
Iain Mackay the Noo: You'll
Iain Mackay the Noo: Persian
Iain Mackay the Noo: that's
officialgspn: Anyway, welcome to both of you. Welcome to both of you. Right, what we're doing today, we're going to follow on from last week's Wild Call Wednesday, where we spoke about us three, so it's good that it's us three again, spoke about um what makes a big club. And we had some interest interesting to debates. I loved Ian's definition, which was having over a 50 ,000 -seat stadium and filling it.
officialgspn: We're in it. We're a big club. but That's how we got us in. Well done. And um so what I thought would do is because I did get some reaction.
Jo: but
officialgspn: There was, you know, we've got friends who listen to this. We actually got people who we don't know listen to this and we're writing lovely emails and we got a bit of response saying that was really interesting. So I thought what would be more interesting is if we make our perfect Premier League based on the clubs, we believe deserve to be in the top division in the Premier League.
officialgspn: So we're going to build one to 20. Our perfect Premier League if we had our way, if we could just hand pick the clubs and put them in there. Any British club, well, English club, can't be Scotland, obviously we have our own league. Any any club who plays in any kind of league, it could be Blythe Spartans if you want, it could be Cardiff, it could be Swansea, it could be Whitley Bay. I don't care who, if you've got a good reason for it, we can stick them in.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I'm going to take part because it is going to be an interesting discussion. However, I think what you're doing there is the same sort of approach. The guys who wanted to break away superly for Europe ah taken, which I mean, we're having a bit of fun with it, but actually there's quite a serious aspect if you think about it.
officialgspn: Yeah.
officialgspn: There can be a serious aspect, but we're not approaching it from a serious point at all because there's one team there' one team I might potentially put in on my maybe list where I just think I liked a couple of players who played for them and I might just chuck them in for that reason.
Jo: Not today.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Well, of course, we're not well.
officialgspn: So we'll see where we go.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah, well, that's the that's the same reason why some of the teams were going to get put into the bloody Super League as well. But anyway, go on.
officialgspn: and speak
Iain Mackay the Noo: Let's go on.
officialgspn: it's a good right so what we're gonna do is we're gonna take turns and when they go through who we think of the most obvious ones to start with where we probably all have them and we can just move past and and eventually at the end of the episode we'll each say our 20 the ones who we all agree on get locked in as we're daily Newcastle Premier League teams and then the rest of it will come down to you guys listening you guys gonna have to go to socials and vote on the ones we can't decide on um Right, I'm going to go again with gentlemen again. So I'm going to go Joe first. Joe, just go around what you think are the most obvious clubs who should make up the top Premier League teams.
Jo: Right, obvious obviously us, so we've got Newcastle, Manu, Man City, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, after that fizzling a little bit but maybe even West Ham and Villa were the only other the two potentially, but not definite for me.
officialgspn: Right, well, I have ah have West Ham and Villa both in as well. Ian, do you have West Ham and Villa?
Jo: you
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got Aston Villa and and.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I didn't have West Ham, but that's because I'm doing it off the top of my head.
officialgspn: Oh, well, come on.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I forgot West Ham.
officialgspn: It's fine.
Iain Mackay the Noo: West Ham should be in it. I agree, I agree.
officialgspn: West Ham should be in
Jo: Yeah.
Jo: So we've, we've, we've done half of it already.
Iain Mackay the Noo: That's 10.
Jo: That's 10.
officialgspn: Manu, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Villa, Man City, West Ham, Spurs and Chelsea. Is that right?
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yes.
Jo: That's the order I had them in. Obviously it's not all order of importance, but you know what I mean.
officialgspn: two.
Iain Mackay the Noo: first 10.
Jo: That's the first tendon.
Jo: Mm -hmm.
officialgspn: Yeah, right. Spot on. So just read just just to we've agreed, we've got my new Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Villa, Chelsea, Spurs, Man City, Everton and West Ham.
officialgspn: That's our 10, right? We all agree on Mem 10. I think most football fans would probably agree on Mem 10. However, the next 10 is probably going to be ridiculous for some of us and we might upset a lot of people.
officialgspn: So in the name of upsetting a lot of people, because Ian on the last, what makes a big club episode, pretty much called every club, not a big club, other than Newcastle, which I absolutely loved. We're going to go straight to straight to Ian.
officialgspn: Ian, give us our 11th club who we can hopefully agree on in our daily Newcastle Ultimate Premier League.
Iain Mackay the Noo: well
Iain Mackay the Noo: might I suggest if I give the 11th club and they're both in your list, I can move on to the 12th club.
Jo: who
officialgspn: yes
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah?
officialgspn: Yes.
Jo: We'll just stop as soon as we don't agree.
Iain Mackay the Noo: So my right, my 11th club, and my 11th club, I think is Leicester.
Jo: I've got Lester.
officialgspn: I've got Lister as well, just mind Lister.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Premier League winners, Premier League winners, they had to be in, didn't they?
Jo: I'll be honest, I voted them because I loved them ever since we beat them 7 -1.
officialgspn: Just a little bit
Iain Mackay the Noo: Excellent.
Jo: Not because we beat them 7 -1. I mean, obviously it's a massive thing, isn't it? But honestly, their fans were amazing that day. They actually partied with us. I think they got so sick of the fact that we were thrashing them.
Jo: They were amazing that day and I don't like my new wave fans, but they were fantastic and I just had a soft spot for them ever since that time.
officialgspn: so So we do all agree on Lester. I mean, I do think Lester a little bit boring, but I put them in at the end because I just thought, well, Harvey Barnes is doing well at the minute, ah so we'll have Lester.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: less so but lester the the season Lester won the Premier League.
officialgspn: Is iconic.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And even a young lad like you can remember that, Kev.
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: I can, I can.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And an alcoholic like Joe can remember that as well.
Jo: Oh, Ian.
officialgspn: I can't wait for Joel.
Jo: That's shocking.
officialgspn: I can't wait for Ian to introduce Joel.
Jo: I know.
officialgspn: So we all agree on, we all agree on Lester.
Iain Mackay the Noo: No, that was that was just a
officialgspn: So I'm going to go to Ian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: just a joke.
Jo: It's all right.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah, Leicester. And that was that was that was the last time the Premier League was quite exciting because there were four or five teams in it with four or five games to go, wasn't there? That was very exciting, Premier League.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Leicester are in. Number 12.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Wolves.
officialgspn: I've put wolves in.
Jo: I did, but I got rid of them, so they didn't, you know, chop them out for someone else.
officialgspn: Why do you not think wolves should be a major?
Iain Mackay the Noo: So you don't want wolves.
officialgspn: Why not?
Jo: Because I've made this really fun. i've I've got completely stupid teams for stupid reasons, but I do have a reason against all these 10 teams, so that's why I took them out. I had no reason to pull them in.
officialgspn: I love
Iain Mackay the Noo: Against Wolves, one of the founder members of the of the Football League.
Jo: I had no reason. that That's wonderful for them, but I didn't have a reason to keep them.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And.
officialgspn: The reason I put Wolves in was, I love Molyneux. I think it's a mint stadium. It's a bit unique. I love that they've built half of it up. maha mix is not It's not as good as St. James's, but it does make me appreciate the stadium a little bit more.
officialgspn: And then I love the kit. The kit's so different.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah.
officialgspn: I thought we need different kits in this Premier League. We need it to be really commercial because we need to make money off it like the Super League.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Would you?
officialgspn: We're just going to handpick them. i did put wolves in i i do quite like them for some reason i couldn't tell you why i like wolves i just do um so we haven't agreed on wolves because joe's standing by it and that is absolutely fine so wolves might be one of the ones you guys the listeners can have a note uh make a note on and i think actually since it's our first disagreement the wolves aren't in it's a perfect time to do the first sponsor um the first sponsor is going to be joe uh she is known as the zencaster girl so joe will do a first sponsor from zencaster
Iain Mackay the Noo: The Zencaster Master!
officialgspn: Yeah.
Jo: Zencastor Master. I'll tell you something.
officialgspn: Back to a ginger ninja.
Jo: At some point, I'm going to know this off by heart. I'm just about still reading off it, but I'll tell you, I'll have this flow perfect, won't I? So anyway, I'll crack on.
officialgspn: Zen custom master.

officialgspn: Well done, Joe. Well done. And again, Ian's great nickname.
Jo: He is.
officialgspn: he He's on fire in a minute, to be fair. I can't wait for Ian's next hosting because he's going to give us some incredible intros.
Jo: channel
officialgspn: in part two, and we're carrying on with creating our perfect Premier League. and Just for the listeners to recap, we so far have Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Chelsea Spurs, Man City, Everton, West Ham, Leicester. However, we didn't agree on Wolves. Jo put the brakes on Wolves. She said, nope, not happening. I don't like Wolverhampt Wanderers. Actually, I've got a great reason to put them in. They've got a very nice name. um So Jo, who did you have instead of Wolves then?
Jo: Um, I'll be honest, I don't know which one I directly took out for Wolves, but I know I did have them in me list. But, so now I'm just going to have to give you one of the ones I've got. So basically I've picked a team that I really dislike. However, I do believe that I think there should be in the Premier League and I've went for Leeds.
officialgspn: I've got Leeds.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got Leeds.
officialgspn: Oh, Leeds make it into a daily Newcastle.
Jo: Because I do dislike them, but you know, they're in.
officialgspn: Congratulations, Leeds. Not with anyone's listening because we're not a Premier League team.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I don't see that. So Leeds, that's number 12, isn't it?
officialgspn: So, Leeds are in.
Jo: Cool.
officialgspn: Leeds are in.
Jo: Mm -hmm.
officialgspn: Right.
Jo: So I can move on to another one then?
officialgspn: Go on, Manjot. You keep going.
Jo: I just keep rolling until it blocks from me, and yeah, we'll do that.
officialgspn: Yeah, yeah.
Jo: m I've got a one which I don't think is gonna make it in, but I've picked it for very silly reasons. I went from Norwich City purely from when Delia Smith did that wonderful drunken rant.
Jo: So yeah, no other reason to put them in, by the way. So mine are really silly at this point onwards, so yeah, Norwich City.
officialgspn: That would be a reason not to put women that round, I think.
Jo: No, it was classic.
officialgspn: um I don't, I do not have Norwich.
Jo: Come on, there's been memes and all sorts coming from that.
Jo: I didn't think you would.
officialgspn: I was tempted.
Iain Mackay the Noo: i don't have I don't have knowledge.
officialgspn: yeah
Iain Mackay the Noo: it and Great kit, great nickname, however, not in my Premier League top 20, no.
officialgspn: I agree. They do have a fantastic kit and I do love the whole bird theme.
Jo: That's funny.
officialgspn: Obviously we are. the magpies um so yeah i haven't put Norwich in i'm gonna go with some now oh go on Ian go
Jo: Mm -hmm.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yes.
Jo: Fair enough. Mm -hmm.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I was going to say I've got one with it another one with a bird theme. just to keep that going, because that's a link that, you know, it's almost it's almost professionally written this, honest.
Jo: Go on Go on.
officialgspn: on man it's
Jo: one
Iain Mackay the Noo: and i had I had Sheffield Wednesday, talking about talking about teams with great big grounds that they can fill.
officialgspn: almost like we've done loads of prep not that everybody was i think there's no prep happening
Jo: Well.
Jo: well
Iain Mackay the Noo: Sheffield Wednesday?
Jo: I had them and I subbed them out for the other half of Sheffield because I dislike Sheffield United, I'm not a team of dislike, but I really enjoyed beating them in the semi -final that time and I really enjoyed having a bit of a to -do outside of Old Trafford with some other random lath that I decided to get in my face.
Iain Mackay the Noo: ah
officialgspn: sure
Jo: So yeah, that's my excuse!
officialgspn: I don't have, I don't have, I don't have Sheffield United because I don't think we should be in there.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And there's a...
officialgspn: However, I completely forgot Sheffield Wednesday existed, but we are a huge club Hillsborough.
Iain Mackay the Noo: No.
Jo: Mm hmm.
officialgspn: How iconic is Hillsborough?
Jo: Mm hmm.
officialgspn: So I'm now looking at my list, thinking who I taken out for Sheffield because Sheffield have to be in there.
Jo: Oh, no, you can't.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Well, there can't be, because Joe hasn't picked them.
Jo: You can't.
Iain Mackay the Noo: So you can't do it.
officialgspn: Oh, Sheffield is ongoing in.
Iain Mackay the Noo: They just go on a list. They go on a list of all -store runs.
Jo: Because if anything, I'd rather sub walls back in than that.
officialgspn: OK, Chef, where'd go on my list?
Jo: So.
officialgspn: I mean, I was going to take one out and put them in because I feel like they should be in, but it'll be interesting to see what the listeners think.
Iain Mackay the Noo: This should be him.
officialgspn: and I know which way I'll be voting.
Iain Mackay the Noo: There were the owls, by the way, following on from the Canaries.
officialgspn: I will be voting for ah Wednesday to make it in.
officialgspn: Owls, yes, of course, of course.
Jo: They were.
officialgspn: So, Sheffield Wednesday haven't made it either. Neither have Norwich. These ones are all going to be up for debate for you guys listening, by the way. You're going to have to check out our socials and get voting on who makes up once we get there all the clubs we can't agree on.
officialgspn: Right, I'm going to have a go at this now.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Go on.
officialgspn: I've picked this next team.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Go on, Kev.
officialgspn: I don't think you would have, but I really want to make a case for them because I feel like the whole bork lays men going around social media a minute. This team was full of Barclays men. JJ Kocher was one of them. They were in the UEFA Cup during the early 2000s. Nicholas Anelta played for them at the time. Ivan Campo, they have had some absolute ballers. I think Bolton Wanderers should be in.
officialgspn: I really do make a case. Great stadium. I think the stadium is unique. and the Floodlights at what used to be called the Reebok Stadium. I don't think it is anymore, but the Bolton Wanderer Stadium and are unique. I love white kits. We've only, I think we've only got like Spurs and Leeds who are playing in white, so we need another white one in there so Newcastle can wear more away kits and more third kits. um So that's the reasons why I loved some of the players in my early 2000s, mid 2000s.
officialgspn: We're not a traditionally big club, we're not a typical kind of successful club, but I'm going Bolton Wanderers.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I might squeeze Bolton Wanderers into a championship.
officialgspn: Oh!
Iain Mackay the Noo: They would never, ever get into the Premier League.
officialgspn: Bolton have had some ballers.
Iain Mackay the Noo: You look at some of these teams that you're missing out to put Bolton in.
officialgspn: Bolton have had some absolute ballers.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Honestly, three or four years they've been in the top division there with Sam Allardyce all the way through that.
Jo: That's as bad as me with Norwich.
Iain Mackay the Noo: So I rest my case.
officialgspn: and there were meant but with Nicholas and Elgar and Ricketts and Ivan Campo and J .J.
Jo: Nah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah. play
officialgspn: Cocter,
Iain Mackay the Noo: Hi, I know, I'm the Frenchman.
officialgspn: have a norman Kevin Kevin Davis, Georg Calleve.
Jo: Move on.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Jork -i -F, Jork -i -F, Jork -i -F or whatever it was called.
officialgspn: I mean, come on, right? It'll be interesting to see what people people listening to think.
Iain Mackay the Noo: You're picking four years out of a football history of 150.
officialgspn: I think
officialgspn: I don't mind. I don't care. I almost put Birmingham City in because Oba Femi Martins scored a goal in my League Cup final for them and I love Oba Femi Martins.
Iain Mackay the Noo: go Birmingham C.
Jo: I love our ridiculous reasons.
officialgspn: I don't care. I don't care about history.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Steve Bruce, Birmingham City, Steve Bruce twice.
officialgspn: I haven't put Birmingham in.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Gosh. Yum.
officialgspn: I didn't put them in but I almost did because of Oba Femi Martins. Anyway, I'm instantly ruled out so Bolton aren't going in. Sorry Bolton. I made a case for you.
Jo: Go on, Ian.
officialgspn: We'll go back to Ian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got one.
officialgspn: We'll go back to the historian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got one right. Crystal Palace.
officialgspn: I've got Palace.
Jo: That's another one I took out, sorry guys.
officialgspn: Oh, iconic kit, iconic stadium, great fans.
Jo: Oh no.
Iain Mackay the Noo: They used to have that kit with the diagonal lines across.
Jo: Oh look, what the mings, what the mings, I did, I had it on my list.
officialgspn: Unbelievable kit, even me away kit, with the traditional like, what do you call it?
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: Sashay, sash.
Jo: Guys, I'm going, I'm back in Palace again, I had it on.
officialgspn: Yeah. Oh, Palestine. Palestine, Palestine.
Jo: No, I had, I did have it on my list, and I took it out for stupid reasons, and I'm, I'm, really, they are just stupid reasons, so, yeah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Palace swimming.
officialgspn: Congratulations, Palestine. You have made You have made the Daily Newcastle premierly Ultimate Premier League.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Excellent. Well done, Palace.
officialgspn: Go on then Ian, go again.
Iain Mackay the Noo: you and and all All right, all right. Now, here's a test for you. If you're being honest, you will agree with this. If you're a Newcastle supporter, you won't.
Iain Mackay the Noo: But I've got Sunderland in.
Jo: Can you say that?
officialgspn: Get away, league chance.
Jo: Not a chance in hell, no way.
officialgspn: No, I don't want them anywhere near it. Get them in league two, move on.
Jo: Move on.
Iain Mackay the Noo: That's, you're wrong. You are, you're wrong.
Jo: You're on, Ian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: You're wrong. I'm not, I'm not.
officialgspn: They're not a big club.
Jo: Let's not fall out now.
officialgspn: Hopeless. Move on.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Right.
officialgspn: Joe.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Okay. You've not put Sunderland in.
officialgspn: Can't even imagine him on this pod.
Jo: and lens a massive
Iain Mackay the Noo: You know that, you know that all over points ever in the top division.
Jo: ah
officialgspn: Son of a like 80.
Iain Mackay the Noo: the but We're something like 7th, no 7th or 8th and suddenly there are two places behind us that have been in the top.
Jo: Ian, can I just say one thing though?
officialgspn: Oh well.
Jo: We've got a real problem.
officialgspn: That's a shame.
Jo: They get the hot dogs in a burger bun.
officialgspn: Yeah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah, I know.
officialgspn: And do you know when you said we've got to sell out the stadium? There's empty seats all over the place.
Jo: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: That's true, that's true.
officialgspn: So many empty seats.
Jo: Goes back against your point, yeah.
officialgspn: Empty pink, empty pink seats.
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: That's not what you want in your ultimate primary.
Iain Mackay the Noo: but but the But there wouldn't be if, when they're back in the Premier League, there wouldn't be.
Jo: We don't need that.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I don't think it'd be completely fair here.
Jo: They would. They would.
officialgspn: Nah, nah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: But, sorry.
officialgspn: I'm not entertaining.
Jo: They didn't sell it out all the time when they were up here. They didn't.
officialgspn: I'm not entertaining.
Jo: Nah. Anyway, blue one.
officialgspn: Anyway, go on, Joe. Go on, next Sunday, I haven't made it.
Jo: However, on the red and white theme, I suppose, I'm bringing in Southampton.
officialgspn: No.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got Southampton.
officialgspn: No.
Iain Mackay the Noo: You didn't want Southampton?
Jo: To this point, I'll be going back to older than you.
officialgspn: Portsmouth figure. Portsmouth figure himself happened.
Jo: Now, ah I considered Portimus, but the only reason I brought South Hampton in is before your time, or maybe when you were just a kid, Kev, was more from when Letitia and that played for them.
officialgspn: I've proposed to be forward self -happen.
officialgspn: I remember that to see what Portsmouth figure.
Jo: And actually, South Hampton won Newcastle's massive bogey team back in the day, so it's not that I'm bringing them in, because we've actually had a neat look against them, because in the past, we had a horrid look against them.
officialgspn: Well, I've seen all the worldies Laticia scored and most of them or half of them were against the castle.
Jo: um
Iain Mackay the Noo: Do you know what?
Iain Mackay the Noo: i i was I was at the Dell the afternoon. He scored the fantastic goal in the first half. I think Andy Cole opened the score and then Leticia scores a worldie in the first half and then tops it in the second half to beat us 2 -1 and I was there.
officialgspn: and
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: yeah um I'm not putting Southhampton in because I think Portimuth should be in instead.
Jo: He was a special player.
officialgspn: um
Jo: Oh well.
officialgspn: so
Jo: So neither of them are going in then.
officialgspn: Southampton ongoing, Portsmouth ongoing, but they will be talked about on socials. um You guys will get the vote, the space is left if you want Southampton or you want Portsmouth.
Jo: yeah
officialgspn: I think Portsmouth should be in over there.
Iain Mackay the Noo: as i see
officialgspn: Portsmouth again, full of, full of Bortley's men, Sol Campbell, David James, Jermaine DeFoe, Peter Crouch, Sun Minh Borry.
Iain Mackay the Noo: None of them made their name at Portsmouth though.
officialgspn: I don't care, that was an iconic team.
Iain Mackay the Noo: They were there because Harry Redknapp paid them.
officialgspn: That was an iconic team. It was a great team watch.
Iain Mackay the Noo: It was only Harry Redknapp. It was Harry Redknapp and two or three transfer windows. They can't be in the Premier League for that.
officialgspn: Stick Redknapp in. Put him in. I'm a puppet. Look.
Jo: We're not getting very far here early.
officialgspn: These are the reasons. It's good to disagree. I think Portsmouth have had some iconic moments. I'm keeping them. When I was growing up, Portsmouth were mint. So they're going in for me, but we're not going in for anyone else. Right. I'm going to go next. um Again, I think...
Iain Mackay the Noo: Go on.
officialgspn: I'm not a big fan of his club because I find him a bit boring, but I just feel like two European cups and, you know, reduce it out the stadium.
Jo: Oh.
officialgspn: I'm going Nottingham Forest.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got, I've got nothing on foresting.
officialgspn: I'm going Nottingham Forest Champion.
officialgspn: Joe.
Jo: He's like, I'm going to kill me, you know, I had them in.
officialgspn: Oh, you had everybody in, Joe.
Jo: I know. I know. Oh, you don't know how many times I changed my list. Um, so I'll tell you what, right? I'll let forest have it because I took them out for Brighton, but listen now, listen to me first.
officialgspn: I've gone Forest.
Jo: It's not cause I actually think Brighton should necessarily be in.
officialgspn: bright and what before
Jo: It was purely down to the fact that they're seagulls and it would get the Macums excited and jealous that they're in the Premier League and Macums aren't.
officialgspn: You know what? You know what? That's an excellent reason.
Jo: yes
officialgspn: You've almost convinced me that you're brightening.
Jo: ah writing, right?
officialgspn: I'm not putting brightening, but it was a good reason I couldn't do it.
Iain Mackay the Noo: i I didn't put brightening with
Jo: but great right
officialgspn: I'm not a petty towards someone, so I'm not going to...
Jo: yeah I'm a little bit
officialgspn: I think Forrest should be in. So Forrest are in. Congratulations, not on them. I'm going to go again, I'm going to upset Ian here. I know I'm going to upset Ian with this next team who if Sunadon in this team definitely shouldn't be in, but I'm going down with Jorut where I'm putting them into really a nice on land. I'm putting Middlesbrough in, nice away again, down the road, nice and local. um Don't really hate them that much if I'm i'm not particularly bothered by it.
officialgspn: um But I think it would really annoy Sunland, which makes me really happy. It's a close away game because we don't get many close away games unless we're going to put Hull in, but let's face it, Middlesbrough are much bigger than Hull. So yeah, I'm going to try and make a statement for Berra.
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: I mean, that's all I've got, but yeah, but what about you guys?
Jo: Um, I considered it, but I didn't write it down because again, I don't hate them as much as I hate Sunderland. But my only main gripe about them borough fans is I obviously been in the Northeast.
Jo: We kind of know, I know, I know a fair amount of borough fans and they all hate us.
officialgspn: but it happens when
Jo: Stay
officialgspn: They're more like a little brother. They're more like a little brother.
Jo: A little jealous brother.
officialgspn: They're a little...Ribbit jealous of us. But they've had some again.
Jo: Very massively jealous.
officialgspn: Ian hates it when I do this, so I'm going to do it again. They've had scenes like Mendietta, Giannini or Mark with Duke, Jakubu.
Jo: My god.
officialgspn: They've had so many iconic players. I mean, Gaza had a spell there. Southgate again. I mean, not his biggest fan, but they've had some distantly
officialgspn: I made a fight for Berra, but I'm not going to fight too hard for them because so I'm not particularly bothered.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got them under the Sunderland just in in ranking the north -east teams.
officialgspn: I just want to do a nice one. Ian, back to you. Who are you going with?
Iain Mackay the Noo: Back to me and I am down now to. um To the 14 I thought should definitely be in the only one that we haven't mentioned.
Jo: I've only got to be left.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Is Ipswich and Bobby Robson's guys and beating Arsenal one nil.
Jo: Oh, no, no.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And winning the UEFA Cup.
officialgspn: and
officialgspn: I was so close to putting him switching. I really, really was.
Jo: Yeah.
Jo: Considered them but didn't write them down, I won't lie.
Iain Mackay the Noo: But.
officialgspn: But I didn't.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Well.
officialgspn: I didn't put him in. So if I switch on, I'm getting in,
Iain Mackay the Noo: You
Jo: know.
Iain Mackay the Noo: It wasn't a serve then.
officialgspn: It's hard to say a note of that because of Sir Bobby, but I'm going to.
Iain Mackay the Noo: but to
officialgspn: Right. That means, I think we're at the perfect time now. We're getting the bad, you know, a danger end where we're just going to round off our teams and then there might be a quick quiz if we've got time. and One more advert.
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: and It's going to be Jo again because she's so good at it. um So Jo's on double duty tonight because the women are so much more professional than the men at Reading Out Adverts. We thought we'd get Jo to do both.
officialgspn: Isn't that right, Jo? That's what you tell in your podcast.
Jo: I'm just used to using the views in this pod, I tell you.
officialgspn: Off you go, Joe, off you go.
Jo: Anyway, on my professional trip, um the Global Sports Podcast Network is changing the face of football podcasts with dedicated daily content for every Premier League team, women's football, fantasy football, and a daily Premier League rubber broadcast in five different languages.
Jo: It's your one -stop shop for your daily football fix. Find JSPN wherever you can find your usual podcasts.
officialgspn: Well done. Excellent. I do admit that does sound a lot better when it's coming from my Nick or Joe.
Jo: Thanks.
officialgspn: So, you know what? I'm going to own it. You are more professional than that. Well done. um Right. Part three. Let's recap. I'm going to quickly recap through the ones we have all agreed on. and We have agreed on Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Villa, Forest, Chelsea, Spurs, Man City, Everton, West Ham, Palace and Leicester.
officialgspn: They are currently in our Premier League I think what we need to do now, just to round this up, we've had loads of good shouts, loads of good shouts who are out there. I think we just go around one by one.
officialgspn: We make we make one more claim for one more team. I think if we all agree on it, we get in. If we don't all agree on it, it's going on my socials and my listeners get a choose.
Jo: Okay.
officialgspn: Does that sound fair?
Jo: Yep.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Sounds very fair.
officialgspn: Yeah, right. So we're going to go one more each. I'm going to make my claim first for one who I think should be in.
officialgspn: I've got two teams left who I haven't said yet, and I'm only going to make a claim from one of them. And it's a very, very light Sir Bobby Link. But again, when I was growing up, I just had some players I liked. That's all I'm going with here. yeah And I love the stadium. I do love the stadium. I'm going for them. I think Craven Cottage is such a nice stadium. Perfect location right on the River Thames. Classic club, Sir Bobby Robson, Link. Fantastic kits. Loved players like Hangulant, Louis Sahar.
officialgspn: You know, well, Brank, all them, Louis Beaumont. So that's the only reason I put them in. I quite like Fulham.
Jo: Fulham's one of
Iain Mackay the Noo: Well, Kev,
officialgspn: you've put Fulham in, Ian. Have I just got Fulham in?
Iain Mackay the Noo: So I will substitute Fulham in for So we can have Fulham as our 15th team.
officialgspn: Get in, follow him.
Jo: Cool.
officialgspn: I got my last one in there. Right, so one more each I've had mine. and Go on Joe, give us one more who you think we might agree on to get in and who you think deserve to be in.
Jo: Um, I'm going to go again, just from years ago and obviously memories that I've got from when I was younger, I'm going to go Blackbone from when they were winning things and when she ran certain or up front for them.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I've got Blackburn.
officialgspn: I've got Blackburn.
Jo: So, we've all got Blackburn.
Iain Mackay the Noo: We've all got Blackburn.
officialgspn: Blackburn it in.
Jo: Wonderful.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Right, in at 16. Premier League winners of course, so.
officialgspn: Wow.
Jo: I remember the free scoring days of Sheeran sitting up front.
officialgspn: See, I go more for like the UEFA Cup Rocker Santa Cruz team.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Okay.
officialgspn: Just because I loved Rocker Santa Cruz because he had a mint name.
Jo: and
officialgspn: That's the only reason I had him in.
Jo: See?
officialgspn: So what numbers back then?
Iain Mackay the Noo: So I've got two.
officialgspn: Is that I was 16th?
Iain Mackay the Noo: That's number 16. We're only four shorts.
officialgspn: Right.
Jo: Yeah, we'll leave we'll leave a few empty for people to kind of input, I think.
Iain Mackay the Noo: And i've got I've got two that I can't pick.
Jo: What do you reckon?
Iain Mackay the Noo: Can I mention them both? Because you might but one might sneak in.
officialgspn: Go on then, give him a quick shout out Ian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Like Blackburn, ah founding member of a ah founding member of the 12 who first made a football league, I've got Burnley in there. and I thought we've got to consider Derby as well, with Brian Clough and all of his wonderful, well he wouldn't have, he won it twice didn't he?
Jo: I've had Rexxum down as well, by the way. I appreciate that there's no way you guys had Rexxum down.
officialgspn: Rexxum.
Jo: And it was purely because of what Ryan Reynolds and that other guy who I can't remember his name, Rob McKeeney, I can't remember his surname, sorry, it's Rob.
officialgspn: Yeah.
Jo: Anyway, Rob and Ryan, purely because of what they're doing. I think it's just brilliant for Rexxum, I really do. And I love it for them. I really do.
officialgspn: um The only honourable shout out I've got who haven't been mentioned yet are Charlton because I loved that they had Darren Bent and Marcus Bent at the same time.
Jo: So yeah, that's why.
officialgspn: I thought that was quite cool. so like al um And I chucked Wigan in because they won an FA Cup and they had Roberto Martinez and they played great football but were absolutely hopeless and I thought it'd be nice for Newcastle to pick up some points if we're still Wiganing.
Iain Mackay the Noo: but you could How many 1 -0 away wins can you not remember at bloody Wiggins Stadium, Kev? We never picked anything up when we played at Wiggins.
officialgspn: I'm just saying now, I'm saying now, Ian, if we were to put Wigan in the Premier League now, we'd batter them.
Jo: Love it.
officialgspn: i'd Quite like Wigan to get our own back.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah. mean You mean like Fulham? Yeah.
officialgspn: Yeah. And Ryan Taylor. right Ryan Taylor used to play for Wigan. So yeah, that's all I had, but I didn't really want to make a statement because it weren't in my actual original 20.
Iain Mackay the Noo: good
officialgspn: So we have 16 teams.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Okay.
officialgspn: We have Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Villa, Forest, Chelsea, Spurs, Man City, Everton, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Fulham.
officialgspn: The other four places are going to go out on socials and you guys can vote between them and then we will have our confirmed ultimate 20 team Premier League from the daily Newcastle team.
officialgspn: So that's
officialgspn: You can feel free to to comment on this podcast and tell us who we've missed. it We might change our mind. So it's Wild Call Wednesday. I think we've got to have a mini quiz, haven't we? It's only four questions. And I thought we'd carry on from last week because it was Ian -verse duo part one.
officialgspn: Jo snuck it after being 2 -1 down again. She's the comeback queen.
Iain Mackay the Noo: was quite close, wasn't it?
officialgspn: The comeback queen. She was 2 -1 down twice against Nicolette in one.
Jo: I literally am.
officialgspn: And she was 2 -1 down against Ian in one. So just like what
Jo: I work well under pressure.
officialgspn: Just like the managers, just like the managers, I thought what I would do is go rather than wins in the Premier League for managers, wins in the Premier League for clubs because we've been discussing clubs all the time. So I'm going to give you two clubs. You pick which one has more wins in the Premier League. I am not going to pick obvious ones. You will not hear Liverpool Arsenal man you mentioned really against anybody else because what would be a point that's pretty obvious who they would be. So he's ready.
Iain Mackay the Noo: ready.
Jo: Mm hmm.
officialgspn: Lovely.
Jo: Let's go.
officialgspn: Right. First one, who has more wins in the Premier League? Burnley ah char athletic i' goingnna go jaw first or went for Charlton over Burnley.
Jo: Charlton.
officialgspn: Ian, who do you think?
Iain Mackay the Noo: I agree with Charlton. I think they were in the Premier League a lot longer.
officialgspn: think Charlton have more wins. So Burnley have 88 Premier League wins. Charlton have 93.
Jo: I only just keep getting relegated, bless them.
officialgspn: 93. However, Charlton do have less matches in the Premier League. They only have 342 and Charlton have 304. So, yeah. Charlton have more wins.
officialgspn: So, 1 -1, 1 -1. Next one. We're going to go with AFC Bournemouth or Queens Park Rangers.
Iain Mackay the Noo: me first I
Jo: QPR. Oh, sorry.
officialgspn: Even first this time.
Jo: but
Iain Mackay the Noo: was going to say Bournemouth anyway so because I think QPR they didn't win much the one time they did come back up I'm going Bournemouth
officialgspn: Bournemouth. Joe, who you going with?
Jo: I'll stick with QPR because that's what I said.
officialgspn: QPR. There's one win in it, by the way. There's one difference.
Iain Mackay the Noo: that
officialgspn: That's all there is. Queen's Park Rangers have 81 Premier League wins. AFC Bournemouth have 82.
officialgspn: 82, one more win for Bournemouth over QPR. I found that amazing. I was thinking, surely it's Bournemouth, but it's really, really close.
Jo: 2 -1 to Ian, isn't it? Yeah.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah.
Jo: So Ian took the 2 -1 lead again.
officialgspn: It's 2 -1, 2 -1 in.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I know it's a dangerous school.
officialgspn: 2 -1 in.
Iain Mackay the Noo: It's a dangerous school.
officialgspn: Can Joe come back?
Jo: I'll let you have it.
officialgspn: Can Joe come back? Right, next one. Next one. We are going with Ipswich Town. Or Derby County. Joe to go first.
officialgspn: Tough one.
Jo: Ipswich, Ipswich.
officialgspn: Go on Ipswich. Ian.
Iain Mackay the Noo: just the Premier League.
officialgspn: Just the Premier League.
Iain Mackay the Noo: a
Iain Mackay the Noo: Mm.
officialgspn: Oh, it's a tough one. It's got them thinking in between Ipswich and Derby.
Iain Mackay the Noo: I know it has it has. I have instinct was Ipswich, but I don't think either of them have got very many wins at all, because I think Ipswich and Derby maybe at the very start and then they've had.
Jo: I'm guessing it's another tight one.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Ipswich are just back in Derby that didn't win at all.
officialgspn: Um, there's nine in it. What was 11?
Iain Mackay the Noo: There's nine in it.
officialgspn: Sorry.
Jo: Oh, I went for a search here.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Hip switch then.
officialgspn: Ipswich. Joe, who did you go for?
Iain Mackay the Noo: Yeah.
officialgspn: Ipswich. Ipswich have 57 Premier League wins and Derby have 68. 68. It's still 2 -1.
Iain Mackay the Noo: who
Jo: but It took the win there.
officialgspn: Still 2 -1. We'll just go first to three, right? Because I do have some back ones. We'll go first to three. Right. Here we go. Miss one's tough by the way, but is what it is. Oldham Athletic or Cardiff City.
Jo: What?
Iain Mackay the Noo: I'll go first, I'm having an old one.
officialgspn: You're going Oldham.
Jo: Have it. I was gonna choose card if I'll be honest.
officialgspn: You're going Cardiff anyway. Cardiff City have 17 wins in the Premier League.
Jo: Yeah.
officialgspn: Oldham Athletic have 22. Well done Ian, 3 -1.
Jo: Well done.
officialgspn: Unbelievable performance.
Iain Mackay the Noo: Three, one, I must have had two pound on it.
Jo: Well done.
officialgspn: Well done.
officialgspn: It's your favourite score.
Iain Mackay the Noo: No, I didn't, I missed it, I missed it, I missed it, damn.
officialgspn: You always back -1. I mean you didn't back 3 -1 when we lost to Fulham 3 -1 because you went...
Iain Mackay the Noo: hu
Jo: no
Iain Mackay the Noo: I did, but not for Fulham to win 3 -1, unfortunately.
officialgspn: yeah Well done Ian. You are the winner this time round.
Jo: Well done.
officialgspn: Commiseration Joe. You are still the quiz queen though because I still think you've got more wins than anybody else so fair play with that.
Jo: I'm still just, just ahead.
officialgspn: Just you know
officialgspn: thank you very much for listening again. That's the end of another Wild Call Wednesday. Tomorrow you have got a crossover episode with Man City as well as our next upcoming Premier League game. Thank you very much for listening.
