New Purchases and Podcasting Gear
00:00:14
Speaker
You just found yourself at Ikea and you decided to ask.
00:00:19
Speaker
No, we went for usual Ikea stuff, isn't it?
00:00:21
Speaker
Meatballs, yeah.
00:00:23
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:00:24
Speaker
I don't even know what we went for, actually.
00:00:27
Speaker
Oh, that's it.
00:00:27
Speaker
Yeah, we went for some wall art and a few other bits, more like picture frames.
00:00:32
Speaker
Yeah, gotcha.
00:00:32
Speaker
The ones that are quite light.
00:00:34
Speaker
You can stick them on with double-sided sticky tape rather than nails.
00:00:39
Speaker
No more nail stuff.
00:00:41
Speaker
But yeah, I found this little piece of beauty and I was like, do you know what?
00:00:45
Speaker
I love it.
00:00:45
Speaker
For the listener who cannot see us, right, today marks a very, very special occasion for the podcast and crew, which is me and Rick.
Challenges of Setting Up a Mic Arm
00:00:54
Speaker
And he has got himself a mic arm, which is, I can't even believe my eyes right now.
00:00:59
Speaker
Like, he's actually sat back, he's chilling.
00:01:01
Speaker
I'm relaxed.
00:01:03
Speaker
He can use both arms.
00:01:05
Speaker
I don't know what's going on, man.
00:01:06
Speaker
I don't know how to make of this.
00:01:07
Speaker
The missus went like, are you doing anything?
00:01:09
Speaker
I was like,
00:01:10
Speaker
Well, yeah, invested in this.
00:01:10
Speaker
I can do whatever the hell I want.
00:01:12
Speaker
Yeah, that's it.
00:01:13
Speaker
Do what I want, yeah.
00:01:15
Speaker
No, to be fair, it's pretty good.
00:01:17
Speaker
For the price that it was, it was all right.
00:01:18
Speaker
Obviously, it wasn't great.
00:01:19
Speaker
It's not quality in terms of looking at yours.
00:01:21
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:01:22
Speaker
But it does a job.
00:01:23
Speaker
It's just a stand-up.
00:01:23
Speaker
With the microphone, I can have a chat with you, and that's it.
00:01:26
Speaker
No, I was going to say, I mean, this is an old stand, bro.
00:01:28
Speaker
Like, this has been around for about 12 years now, this mic stand.
00:01:34
Speaker
Because I've got nowhere to put my mic arms, you see.
00:01:36
Speaker
Like, as you can see, well, not now because I've got the background on.
00:01:40
Speaker
Well, I'm in the painting, aren't I?
00:01:42
Speaker
But yeah, I can't put my mic arm anywhere, which is a bit devastating because I brought it with me.
00:01:45
Speaker
But I've literally got nowhere to attach it to.
00:01:48
Speaker
But yeah, this is a very, very special occasion.
00:01:50
Speaker
You know, he's got use of both arms.
00:01:52
Speaker
I don't know what's going to happen in this episode.
00:01:54
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:54
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:55
Speaker
We're just going to keep talking about this mic arm.
00:01:57
Speaker
I love
Finding Joy in Simplicity
00:01:58
Speaker
it.
00:01:58
Speaker
I love it.
00:01:58
Speaker
This is what's new in life, man.
00:02:00
Speaker
This is it.
00:02:00
Speaker
We, you know, we are men.
00:02:02
Speaker
We are only excited by very small things.
00:02:04
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:02:05
Speaker
Small things.
00:02:06
Speaker
That's it.
00:02:06
Speaker
Those things.
00:02:07
Speaker
This is one of those things.
00:02:08
Speaker
Like, you know, next time I'm going to come with a, with a bigger, can you see this on my microphone?
00:02:13
Speaker
This little phone?
00:02:13
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:15
Speaker
I'm going to have a bigger one and we're going to talk about that for ages.
00:02:18
Speaker
Quality.
00:02:19
Speaker
I need a mic.
00:02:19
Speaker
I think I might need a better microphone to be fair.
00:02:21
Speaker
This one has still got the little thing on front of it.
00:02:24
Speaker
Yeah, no, the pop shield is good.
00:02:27
Speaker
But it's all right.
Work-Life Balance and Motivation
00:02:28
Speaker
Anyway, man, how have you been?
00:02:30
Speaker
It makes it a lot easier.
00:02:31
Speaker
But yeah, I've been good.
00:02:32
Speaker
I've been good, Rick.
00:02:33
Speaker
You know, it's been about a week since we last met up in the virtual reality that is the podcasting world.
00:02:40
Speaker
Yes, it has been a week, yes.
00:02:42
Speaker
But you know, life gets in the way.
00:02:45
Speaker
Shit happens.
00:02:46
Speaker
Shit happens.
00:02:47
Speaker
We're here as much as we can.
00:02:48
Speaker
For me, it was the first week back to work, so.
00:02:52
Speaker
It was a very, very busy one, but it's okay.
00:02:55
Speaker
What can you do?
00:02:55
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:02:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:57
Speaker
You've got to make some money, right?
00:02:58
Speaker
Exactly.
00:02:59
Speaker
You've got to make that pay-per-key.
00:03:00
Speaker
It's not going to make itself.
00:03:02
Speaker
I had a friend message me earlier today, and he goes, we were chatting, how are you doing and all this?
00:03:07
Speaker
And then he goes, oh, man, how do I motivate myself to go to work tomorrow?
00:03:12
Speaker
And I'm like...
00:03:13
Speaker
money that's literally literally the only thing that keeps his I have I have nothing else to say to him what else can I message him like can I you know I mean oh yeah you're making a difference yeah you're making a difference you know people care about you no it's money like that's it if that doesn't motivate you then yeah fair enough don't go to work that's fine but is
00:03:32
Speaker
yeah a mutual friend for sure for sure i won't i won't name drop obviously because you know but yeah i was just chatting with him and he was like how do i want to get myself yeah money mate that's that's literally what do you think we do it yeah why do you think the rest of us do it pistachio guy yeah no no no not that not that mutual friend the other mutual friend yeah the football mutual friend the football yeah yeah so it's like well you know what else you know why the hell else do we do it but anyway
00:03:59
Speaker
What have you been up to?
00:04:00
Speaker
How was your first week back at work then?
00:04:01
Speaker
You know, without getting into too much detail.
00:04:04
Speaker
I need you to motivate me to go back tomorrow.
00:04:08
Speaker
Money, why do I do it?
00:04:11
Speaker
No, to be fair, first week was all right.
00:04:13
Speaker
Fairly chilled, fairly calm.
00:04:15
Speaker
It was nice.
00:04:16
Speaker
It was nice just to kind of get back.
00:04:18
Speaker
Don't get me wrong.
00:04:19
Speaker
I love being home with the family and stuff.
00:04:20
Speaker
And I'd rather retire and be home with the family all the time.
00:04:23
Speaker
But we need the money.
00:04:24
Speaker
But it kind of taking a positive rather look at, put a positive spin on it rather than say, no, it's negative.
00:04:29
Speaker
It's work.
00:04:30
Speaker
Oh, Monday morning.
00:04:31
Speaker
It was nice to kind of have that routine again.
00:04:33
Speaker
Wake up early, go to work.
00:04:35
Speaker
After work, my colleagues and I have started like some couple of lads have been doing kind of like this fitness thing that we're trying to do.
00:04:41
Speaker
You know, everybody trying to shed off the crisp.
00:04:43
Speaker
You're still on that, right?
00:04:44
Speaker
No, well, I stopped it.
00:04:44
Speaker
I stopped it completely because I couldn't do it anymore.
00:04:47
Speaker
You know, my family life took over, pregnant wife, baby, so on.
00:04:50
Speaker
And then lack of sleep, you've thought that why you want to know, but maybe some of the listeners you will know soon, is when you have a lack of sleep, you feel like you're trying to get the energy with anything and everything around you.
00:05:00
Speaker
So like you're constantly eating, constantly drinking.
00:05:04
Speaker
And you're not eating healthy food, you're just like, chocolate bar, crisps, crap, bread, white bread, just junk food.
00:05:11
Speaker
Yeah, do you know what I mean?
00:05:13
Speaker
And then like fizzy drinks all the time, like a Red Bull, a kind of Coke, a Fanta, etc, etc.
00:05:17
Speaker
And then when I went to work, they were like, Oh,
00:05:20
Speaker
Good Christmas.
00:05:21
Speaker
I was like, you're cheating.
00:05:21
Speaker
Whoops.
00:05:22
Speaker
Whoops.
00:05:22
Speaker
I was like, you're cheating.
00:05:25
Speaker
It was until you just said that statement.
00:05:27
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:28
Speaker
It was nice.
00:05:29
Speaker
It was nice to see everybody.
00:05:30
Speaker
Because sometimes work is a social place as well, really.
00:05:33
Speaker
When everybody has the breaks together, you can socialize a little bit.
00:05:37
Speaker
So it was nice.
00:05:37
Speaker
It takes in mind of the...
00:05:40
Speaker
reality basically isn't it like you know going back home and junk food and you know recycling the day basically but yeah no that's that's good that's good to hear man like you know like you said you know i would much rather retire and stay at home as much as we can obviously in an instant
00:05:55
Speaker
Well, the good thing is now that the Grand Tour lads, you know, they're retiring.
00:05:59
Speaker
Top Gear has, you know, taken off air.
00:06:01
Speaker
So maybe we could slip in there and like, you know.
00:06:03
Speaker
Maybe there's a little something, something there.
00:06:04
Speaker
Maybe a
Evolving Car Shows and Technology
00:06:05
Speaker
little something there.
00:06:05
Speaker
But no, I was.
00:06:06
Speaker
If Amazon's listening.
00:06:08
Speaker
Yeah, well, yeah, that's it.
00:06:09
Speaker
We are through Amazon Music.
00:06:10
Speaker
So, you know, please do listen to us.
00:06:12
Speaker
Do listen.
00:06:13
Speaker
I was reading about James May, obviously on him and Clarkson and Hammond retiring.
00:06:18
Speaker
And he was saying that.
00:06:20
Speaker
you know, it's in this day and age now, there's so much going on with cars and how we view them and you know, how they're gonna be fueled and how we drive them and you know, is it beneficial, that type of stuff.
00:06:30
Speaker
We said, we live in a world now where
00:06:33
Speaker
you know, it won't be long before the next car show like Top Gear or like the Grand Tour comes along, you know.
00:06:40
Speaker
And I got me thinking and, you know, he's absolutely right.
00:06:43
Speaker
You know, there's so much going on in the car industry right now with electric cars and hybrids and plug-in hybrids and, you know, self-hybrids and all this like, what the fuck?
Concept of Time as Payment
00:06:52
Speaker
So it's, you know, we love cars, but
00:06:54
Speaker
It's that time, man.
00:06:55
Speaker
It's that time.
00:06:56
Speaker
You know, it's if people if people can get paid in time rather than money, then I think I'd prefer that to be honest with you.
00:07:03
Speaker
There's our film.
00:07:04
Speaker
You've seen our film with Justin Timberlake in time.
00:07:06
Speaker
No, I haven't.
00:07:07
Speaker
It's not great, but it's the concept I just mentioned, being paid with time.
00:07:15
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:07:16
Speaker
He's got the clock and stuff.
00:07:18
Speaker
The clock going on his forearm.
00:07:20
Speaker
That's right.
00:07:21
Speaker
I've seen that.
00:07:21
Speaker
And when the clock runs out, that basically means you're dead.
00:07:24
Speaker
Gotcha, gotcha.
00:07:25
Speaker
I've seen that movie.
00:07:26
Speaker
That's an old movie, isn't it?
00:07:27
Speaker
Yeah, very old film.
00:07:29
Speaker
But the way you said you get paid in time, I think the movie's called In Time.
00:07:32
Speaker
In Time, yeah, it is.
00:07:33
Speaker
It's called In Time.
00:07:34
Speaker
Oh, there you go then.
00:07:36
Speaker
My subconscious works in a weird way, man.
00:07:38
Speaker
I'm going to miss that.
00:07:39
Speaker
I do miss the Top Gear.
00:07:40
Speaker
I do miss the Grand Tour.
00:07:41
Speaker
The Grand Tour for me wasn't as good as the Top Gear, even Top Gear where Mr. Tribbiani did it, Joey Tribbiani.
00:07:47
Speaker
Now, for me, I enjoyed it.
00:07:48
Speaker
I enjoyed his humor.
00:07:49
Speaker
I kept seeing, like, I know he's not Joey, of course not, but you keep seeing Joey.
00:07:55
Speaker
You see the guy and he kind of grew up with friends and seeing him as Joey Tribbiani.
00:07:59
Speaker
But, yeah, with Matt LeBlanc, Chris...
00:08:01
Speaker
was quality on there.
00:08:02
Speaker
And I enjoyed it and I missed it, to be fair.
00:08:03
Speaker
Even with Freddie and the rest of the boys I did it with, what's his name?
00:08:06
Speaker
Paddy McGinnis, Freddie Flintoff, the other cricket player.
00:08:11
Speaker
And then is it Chris Harris?
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, Chris Harris.
00:08:13
Speaker
And I quite enjoyed that as well.
00:08:15
Speaker
But I think what it is, it's people who watch that, who love cars.
00:08:18
Speaker
It's an escape as well, isn't it, really?
00:08:19
Speaker
Of course it is.
00:08:21
Speaker
You know, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the Reasoning Price car and them doing silly things with Scorders and Seats and so on.
00:08:27
Speaker
But my favorites were like these long trips that they used to take.
00:08:30
Speaker
The road trips, man.
00:08:31
Speaker
The road trips and the nice cars and the radios and the banter and stuff.
00:08:34
Speaker
And it just makes me think like that's what I want to do with my body.
00:08:37
Speaker
That's it.
00:08:38
Speaker
That's it.
00:08:39
Speaker
But I'm not even at the stage where I'm like, oh, let's have the Ferraris.
00:08:41
Speaker
It'd be great and expensive cars.
00:08:43
Speaker
Somebody sponsor us.
00:08:44
Speaker
It comes with time.
00:08:45
Speaker
Exactly.
00:08:46
Speaker
But for me, it's just like just to be on that road trip.
00:08:48
Speaker
And I think that's where the road trip, I say to my wife, she goes, who was I talking to?
00:08:52
Speaker
I was talking to my brother.
00:08:53
Speaker
He's like, I don't even like driving that much, man.
00:08:55
Speaker
And I was like, I love it.
00:08:55
Speaker
And I think I love it because
Top Gear's Evolution Post-Clarkson
00:08:57
Speaker
of the top gears on the road trip.
00:08:58
Speaker
Like sometimes, okay, I live 200, 300 miles away from my parents.
00:09:02
Speaker
To me, it's a road trip going to see this road and I enjoy driving.
00:09:06
Speaker
But yeah, the Grand Tour was okay as well, but it just felt like they had to try and change so much to try and seem original, but they didn't need the recipe.
00:09:14
Speaker
They didn't, they didn't.
00:09:15
Speaker
But they couldn't.
00:09:16
Speaker
The thing is, obviously, they couldn't use some things because of the BBC Top Gear.
00:09:19
Speaker
Yeah, like the reasonably priced car.
00:09:21
Speaker
That's why they had.
00:09:21
Speaker
I didn't like any of the celebrity segments in the Grand Tour, by the way, like none of them.
00:09:25
Speaker
It was funny when they first brought in, you know, when they're like, oh, here comes Charlize Theron, for example, like in the tent.
00:09:31
Speaker
And then she gets eaten by a lion.
00:09:32
Speaker
It's like, okay, I like that when the first two celebrities, but then afterwards, like, you kind of know what's going to happen.
00:09:37
Speaker
Like Simon Pegg with the ice cream walking down Whitby and all this stuff and then waving at everyone and falling off the bridge.
00:09:43
Speaker
That was funny.
00:09:43
Speaker
But then you can't keep going on with that.
00:09:45
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:09:46
Speaker
So I...
00:09:47
Speaker
Yeah, but look, Grand Tour, I watch it.
00:09:48
Speaker
You need a big funding, don't you, to keep going on for that.
00:09:50
Speaker
You need a lot of budget.
00:09:52
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:09:52
Speaker
For that very small appearance for celebrities, it was crazy.
00:09:57
Speaker
But like you said, it's the road trips.
00:09:59
Speaker
It really is.
00:10:00
Speaker
Even watching the old Top Gears now, which I think I'm messaging the group.
00:10:04
Speaker
It's on BBC3.
00:10:05
Speaker
I didn't realize that they had the whole 33 seasons.
00:10:08
Speaker
I didn't know that.
00:10:09
Speaker
I didn't know that.
00:10:10
Speaker
But obviously for me, I didn't really care for the...
00:10:12
Speaker
for the top gear after the original trio i didn't really care that much it's just i don't know because it felt like it felt it felt like they tried to recreate that banter where it's like well no you need to be your own people you know what i mean like again maybe i didn't give it enough of a chance the one the one straight after wasn't very good the radio 4 host he was he was really forcing it hit the one yeah yeah yeah
00:10:33
Speaker
Radio 4, Radio 3, I don't know what he hosts.
00:10:35
Speaker
But he's the one who James May went and he had like a 7, 8 million pound Ferrari or something.
00:10:40
Speaker
I don't know what it was.
00:10:40
Speaker
Wasn't it the 250 GTO or something like that?
00:10:43
Speaker
I don't know if it was a 250.
00:10:43
Speaker
No, it wasn't the 250.
00:10:44
Speaker
Because 250 is like 40 million, I think.
00:10:46
Speaker
Yeah, 250 GTO is like 40 plus 80 million.
00:10:49
Speaker
Chris Evans did not make that much money, let's just be honest.
00:10:51
Speaker
He did have that other 4, 5 million Ferrari.
00:10:53
Speaker
Yeah, he did.
00:10:55
Speaker
But he was forcing it.
00:10:56
Speaker
For me, it was every time I watched him, he was very much trying to force the band.
00:10:59
Speaker
They're trying to be funny and he just wasn't.
00:11:00
Speaker
And he looked like as if he made a joke.
00:11:02
Speaker
And you know those awkward jokes and the artists think like, that wasn't funny.
00:11:06
Speaker
But he's looking around going, come on, give me something.
00:11:08
Speaker
I can see the producers holding up like placards saying applause and laugh.
00:11:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:11:16
Speaker
No, I agree.
00:11:16
Speaker
But I think that's what kind of ruined it.
00:11:19
Speaker
After him, it got better.
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair.
00:11:21
Speaker
I think I need to give it a bit more of a chance afterwards because I think he ruined it.
00:11:24
Speaker
And then I thought...
00:11:26
Speaker
ah, you know, the rest are going to be the same.
00:11:28
Speaker
But maybe you're right.
00:11:29
Speaker
Maybe you're right.
00:11:29
Speaker
Like, you know, Matt LeBlanc, shit, we grew up with him as Joey Tribu.
00:11:33
Speaker
Matt LeBlanc was funny.
00:11:34
Speaker
I enjoyed some of them with Matt LeBlanc because Matt LeBlanc was on them as well, but he was on the main host, kind of, you know, Clarkson was the main guy with the two sidekicks.
00:11:42
Speaker
And that's what Chris Evans was.
00:11:43
Speaker
He was the main guy.
00:11:44
Speaker
It should have been somebody else.
00:11:46
Speaker
But disappointed with main top game, the three guys, is they did the Australian one where there was the M6, the Bentley.
00:11:54
Speaker
Yes.
00:11:54
Speaker
I'm trying to wait with the cows and stuff like that.
00:11:56
Speaker
How many cows?
00:11:57
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:58
Speaker
And then all of a sudden, it just kind of, and then it stopped.
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:02
Speaker
I feel like they should just compensate the boys to show the rest of that season off because it's clearly filmed.
00:12:07
Speaker
It's there.
00:12:07
Speaker
It's in the eye class somewhere in the BBC building.
00:12:10
Speaker
Just send it out.
00:12:11
Speaker
Just be like,
00:12:11
Speaker
See how many people... Yeah, I just want to watch it because that season must have been epic because that first episode in Australia as well was quality.
00:12:19
Speaker
Wait, that's season 22, isn't it?
00:12:22
Speaker
Yeah, but I don't think all of it's out.
00:12:23
Speaker
I think because that happened and then the rumour came he punched the producer or did something.
00:12:28
Speaker
Whatever happened that they all started, like, retiring, I think that's the one.
00:12:31
Speaker
Is that right?
00:12:32
Speaker
I believe so because I remember him seeing on a talk show with... Who was he with?
00:12:38
Speaker
Some British guy.
00:12:39
Speaker
But yeah, I think that's why I'd find it.
00:12:41
Speaker
Because if it's not, I'd like to watch the rest of the season after the Australian.
00:12:44
Speaker
I mean, if that's the case, then... Because for me, like I said, it was only this week that I realised that BBC3 had the whole series of Top Gear.
00:12:52
Speaker
Because I've already got them... I had them downloaded for many years.
00:12:55
Speaker
I've got them... Literally, they are on their own hard drive, separate from anything else, just in case whenever I want to watch them, I'll just plug them in.
00:13:03
Speaker
They're on a separate hard drive.
00:13:05
Speaker
So maybe you're right.
00:13:06
Speaker
I didn't realise that.
00:13:08
Speaker
But I think...
00:13:09
Speaker
They had that season, but then the only one that they didn't show was the very last episode where it was just James May and Richard Hammond talking with no audience around them.
00:13:20
Speaker
I don't know if you've seen that then in that case.
00:13:21
Speaker
I saw that one.
00:13:22
Speaker
Yeah, I saw that little one.
00:13:23
Speaker
Yeah, because that was the last one.
00:13:24
Speaker
And then eventually they said, we're not going to do this anymore.
00:13:27
Speaker
Was it though?
00:13:28
Speaker
Was there nothing else that was not shown?
00:13:29
Speaker
I'm pretty sure.
00:13:30
Speaker
I'm pretty sure they had like another five or maybe four shows after.
00:13:33
Speaker
No, no.
00:13:33
Speaker
Because it started getting smaller and smaller, didn't it?
00:13:35
Speaker
Because before it would be on for maybe a month or so.
00:13:38
Speaker
And then a month, two months.
00:13:39
Speaker
And then after that, it went down to like six weeks.
00:13:41
Speaker
And then Toby is finishing five weeks.
00:13:44
Speaker
So season 22, episode one.
00:13:47
Speaker
No, they've got it all.
00:13:49
Speaker
Yeah, they've got it all.
00:13:52
Speaker
Yeah, so they've got the whole of season 22.
00:13:55
Speaker
And then season 23 is the one with, obviously, you know, that shall not be spoken about.
00:14:00
Speaker
Let's move away from that one.
00:14:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:02
Speaker
But yeah, season 22, yeah, they've got that.
00:14:05
Speaker
But that was fun.
00:14:05
Speaker
That was, you know.
00:14:06
Speaker
So I'm talking about season 23 then.
00:14:09
Speaker
It must have been season 23.
00:14:11
Speaker
But that's the one with Chris Evans, season 23.
00:14:14
Speaker
Is it?
00:14:14
Speaker
Because I'm looking here, BBC Top Gear season, series 22, episode one, is the one where they've got the cycling cars.
00:14:21
Speaker
No, this is not it neither.
00:14:23
Speaker
Clarkson Hammond, Johannesburg, this isn't it.
00:14:27
Speaker
Yeah, because the Bentley one, the Australian one is episode two of season 22.
00:14:31
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:14:33
Speaker
So scroll down, yeah.
00:14:34
Speaker
And then they've got the rest of them.
00:14:35
Speaker
Will Smith is on in number four.
00:14:37
Speaker
That's right, that's right.
00:14:37
Speaker
I was going to say, because I'm pretty sure one of my favourites there was episode six.
00:14:41
Speaker
I don't remember seeing Will Smith in them.
00:14:43
Speaker
Episode six, when Hammond goes to Canada and he's got that watch where he pulls out a little pin.
00:14:48
Speaker
That's one of my favourite episodes.
00:14:50
Speaker
I really enjoyed it.
00:14:51
Speaker
Where the fucking hell are you?
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah, it was the raptor, wasn't it?
00:14:55
Speaker
The raptor and...
00:14:58
Speaker
the Silverado wasn't it yeah the Chevy Silverado yeah that was a fun one the F-150 Raptor yeah bro I fell in love with that car man I saw that car on it I fell in love oh my god I fell in love with it but again have you seen one of those things around here by the way they look ridiculous yeah they look just awful you can't drive them anywhere B roads nah you're not driving that on any B roads I own the road that's what I own the road that is my private road
00:15:26
Speaker
That's literally it.
00:15:28
Speaker
But no, you're right.
00:15:28
Speaker
You're right.
00:15:29
Speaker
Like, I've just, you know, that's it with Top Gear.
00:15:31
Speaker
I think for me, it's just an escape to something that, it's more of a fantasy, isn't it?
00:15:34
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:15:35
Speaker
Like you said, just, you know, get a car, drive with your boys on the radios, talk some shit,
Selective Football Watching
00:15:40
Speaker
cars break down, all that kind of stuff.
00:15:41
Speaker
But yeah, look, have you watched any football apart from your team?
00:15:45
Speaker
Of course I've watched football.
00:15:47
Speaker
Oh, no then.
00:15:49
Speaker
See, I had to preface it like that, man.
00:15:50
Speaker
I had to say it like that because, you know, I can imagine that you didn't really pay that much attention to any other games apart from your team.
00:15:59
Speaker
So for me, it means that I didn't watch any football in the past.
00:16:02
Speaker
You didn't watch nothing?
00:16:03
Speaker
Nothing.
00:16:03
Speaker
I watched a bit of the Liverpool... No.
00:16:07
Speaker
God, no.
00:16:07
Speaker
I watched a bit of that match.
00:16:09
Speaker
It was boring, so I turned it off.
00:16:11
Speaker
I watched a bit of the Liverpool match.
00:16:12
Speaker
They were winning.
00:16:13
Speaker
I turned that off.
00:16:14
Speaker
Which match was boring?
00:16:16
Speaker
The Villa-Chelsea match.
00:16:17
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:16:18
Speaker
To be fair, it was all right.
00:16:19
Speaker
Obviously, as a Chelsea, if you gave it a bit more time, we should have won that game.
00:16:23
Speaker
We really should have.
00:16:24
Speaker
I don't know.
00:16:24
Speaker
Did you see highlights or anything?
00:16:25
Speaker
Palmer?
00:16:26
Speaker
I didn't watch anything.
00:16:27
Speaker
Nothing.
00:16:27
Speaker
You've not watched nothing on it?
00:16:29
Speaker
I've watched nothing on it.
00:16:30
Speaker
That's why I wanted to have a chat with you.
00:16:32
Speaker
How do you feel about the draw, by the way?
00:16:33
Speaker
Well, the fact that you're going to replay the match.
00:16:36
Speaker
No, I feel like we're going to get beat.
00:16:37
Speaker
Villa Park will get beat because they look dangerous towards the last 15 minutes.
00:16:41
Speaker
We had chance after chance, but we just couldn't seem to score.
00:16:45
Speaker
Cole Palmer missing sitter same as against the Middlesbrough match he just missed sitter after sitter he was like one on one with the keeper he was very good at reading the play and intercepting the ball but then all of a sudden he'd go and hit you against the keeper and he'd be like what are you doing we're all like chip pass do something why are you rushing it everything was like with a side foot yeah it was a weak game him Palmer as a nine doesn't work for me it doesn't work at all and then he's not ready for that role to be honest and what's his name as well Maduweka
00:17:14
Speaker
He's just so awkward.
00:17:16
Speaker
Like he's not even awkward and can beat the man.
00:17:18
Speaker
He's just awkward on the ball.
00:17:20
Speaker
I feel like he has the balls to look at his teammates and say, oh, pass it to me then.
00:17:27
Speaker
Like, no, bro.
00:17:27
Speaker
Like passing it to you is like I might as well give it to the opposition.
00:17:30
Speaker
Like literally how it felt.
00:17:32
Speaker
watching it but does that usually mean now that Palmer was not scoring in this match doesn't that usually mean that next match he will probably put them away yeah yeah well let's hope so next match is against Liverpool so let's do that next match in the FA Cup yeah sorry I meant the FA Cup we'll get to the predictions of the Premier League yeah yeah absolutely we'll see I hope we do because it'd be nice obviously we're in the final of the Carabao Cup which is what was needed especially after that awful performance against Middlesbrough the 1-0 6-1
00:18:01
Speaker
quality.
Chelsea's Recent Matches Analysis
00:18:02
Speaker
Demolition.
00:18:04
Speaker
Naive for Middlesbrough to be fair to come down and think like actually we're going to attack I don't know why they didn't sit on a low block with two back fours, seven people at the back two, whatever you want That's it, just like make it really difficult Don't try and come out because if you come out we're going to punish you And I've said this to you before against teams who don't sit back we seem to score goals We did it against you guys, we did it against City, we did it against Liverpool with the 1-1 We look more dangerous because there's space for us to attack You've got fast players, technical players who can go behind you
00:18:32
Speaker
And for that reason, then Carrick should have just gone, no, we're not going to give you the space.
00:18:36
Speaker
We're just going to sit here on this low block and try to break us down.
00:18:39
Speaker
But anyway, not complaining, 6-1, it was nice for everybody to score goals, gain a bit of confidence, a bit more desire.
00:18:46
Speaker
With Carrick, it kind of felt like where, you know, he was going to Stamford Bridge and he was like, do you know what, I'm going to show you up.
00:18:51
Speaker
And...
00:18:53
Speaker
Well, I think backfire is the wrong word here.
00:18:56
Speaker
Do you know what I'm saying?
00:18:57
Speaker
The guy shot himself with a shotgun right in the face.
00:19:00
Speaker
So I didn't.
00:19:01
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't.
00:19:02
Speaker
Again, after after you went up, maybe what, three, four, I turned that off because I was like, well, there's no point watching it now because, you know, I don't want to see Borough get absolutely annihilated then.
00:19:12
Speaker
Yeah, like, fair dues, fair dues to Chelsea, you know, you took the, you took the chances, you scored, happy days, and now you're in the final, so.
00:19:19
Speaker
That's it, that's it, I'm in the final, full disclosure, by the way, full disclosure, yeah, full disclosure, I joined the match at 3-0, so obviously I went to put the loved ones to bed and do the bedtime stories, and I ended up falling asleep, and I got up and I was like, wait, Chelsea are playing, what am I doing, I got up and I was like,
00:19:37
Speaker
I think I saw called the third goal.
00:19:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:39
Speaker
I caught the third goal, the disaster goal.
00:19:40
Speaker
I caught the third goal where he intercepts one, two with Sterling.
00:19:43
Speaker
That's right.
00:19:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:45
Speaker
That's when I started off.
00:19:46
Speaker
That's not that interception.
00:19:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:47
Speaker
That's what I joined.
00:19:49
Speaker
But, uh,
00:19:50
Speaker
It was good.
00:19:51
Speaker
It was good.
00:19:51
Speaker
Listen, 6-1, not going to deny it.
00:19:53
Speaker
Really great feeling.
00:19:54
Speaker
But it's still not... It's a bit of... Yeah, a bit of a bit of sweet because Middlesbrough, local team, etc.
00:20:00
Speaker
But the way Borough fans have gone on about like, oh, we'll do... We'll go here and we'll do that in a way is kind of like, yeah, I'm glad you got beat.
00:20:07
Speaker
But still... Most of the drunk ones.
00:20:08
Speaker
Most of the drunk ones.
00:20:08
Speaker
That's what it is, isn't it?
00:20:10
Speaker
Whereas against Villa, I was expecting a similar performance, really quite relentless.
00:20:14
Speaker
And we were, we were winning the ball up top in the final third.
00:20:17
Speaker
We were winning it back.
00:20:18
Speaker
We just could not put it away.
00:20:20
Speaker
Really struggled to get clear chance on goal.
00:20:23
Speaker
And then when we did have a clear chance, we hit it straight at the keeper.
00:20:25
Speaker
Martinez made two, three errors with his kicking game.
00:20:28
Speaker
Fell to Colt Palma, fell to somebody.
00:20:30
Speaker
He was just like, come on.
00:20:31
Speaker
There was one chance Colt Palma had it and he tried to side-foot it from the edge of the box in a volley.
00:20:36
Speaker
So as I'm looking up, the ball was up in the air.
00:20:39
Speaker
And unless he thought Martinez is coming to get him, because really he should have just tried to like take a touch, put it in the back of the net.
00:20:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:46
Speaker
But anyway, we'll see what happens.
00:20:47
Speaker
There's not much really to say apart from Madhu Waker starting again.
00:20:51
Speaker
Like, it's just, I don't know why Colwell got injured in the warm-up.
00:20:55
Speaker
Maybe it's to confuse players.
00:20:56
Speaker
Maybe it's to confuse players, you know, like the opposition team, Madhu Waker's on.
00:20:59
Speaker
So they're like, oh, OK, we'll leave him alone, you know what I mean?
00:21:02
Speaker
And then everyone leaves him alone and then he'll just do something.
00:21:04
Speaker
But apparently he's not even doing anything.
00:21:05
Speaker
No, he's doing nothing.
00:21:08
Speaker
The rest of them, to be fair.
00:21:09
Speaker
providing that they played three days before, like 72 hours before, they were really good.
00:21:13
Speaker
Gallagher was chasing after everything.
00:21:15
Speaker
Caicedo was the same.
00:21:16
Speaker
Enzo was the same.
00:21:18
Speaker
But then obviously that was only sustainable for like around 70 minutes, 75 minutes.
00:21:22
Speaker
And then Villa started putting pressure.
00:21:24
Speaker
Then we stalked up.
00:21:25
Speaker
And that even happened when Modric came on.
00:21:26
Speaker
He just looked lost.
00:21:27
Speaker
Modric just, I don't even know what, what instruction does he receive from the coach?
00:21:31
Speaker
Because he's clearly not good enough to be at Ozil and just free roam.
00:21:36
Speaker
You find the space in the little pockets.
00:21:38
Speaker
He's just like, he looks lost.
00:21:40
Speaker
He genuinely looks lost.
00:21:42
Speaker
Too much space, isn't it?
00:21:44
Speaker
It's not even too much space.
00:21:45
Speaker
No, no, sorry.
00:21:45
Speaker
Too much space for him to roam around.
00:21:47
Speaker
Like, he can't even... Maybe.
00:21:48
Speaker
He gets confused with that.
00:21:50
Speaker
Maybe.
00:21:50
Speaker
Honestly, because I genuinely don't know.
00:21:52
Speaker
Because clearly there's potential there.
00:21:54
Speaker
We've all seen glimpses of it or like cameos of it.
00:21:56
Speaker
But it's just even basic stuff, bro.
00:21:58
Speaker
Like, just run behind.
00:22:00
Speaker
Against Middlesbrough, he got brought off halfway through at halftime.
00:22:03
Speaker
Because Enzo had to go at him and say, like, run behind.
00:22:06
Speaker
You, behind.
00:22:08
Speaker
I don't think you understand what that means.
00:22:13
Speaker
Get a translator.
00:22:14
Speaker
Who runs alongside him up and down the sideline.
00:22:17
Speaker
Just like Messi's bodyguard into Miami who's on the sideline running up and down to prevent fans from going next to him.
00:22:23
Speaker
I don't know if you've seen that guy.
00:22:25
Speaker
I've seen that.
00:22:26
Speaker
Big guy.
00:22:27
Speaker
Bring that guy in.
00:22:28
Speaker
Well, not that guy, but bring a guy like him who translates in Ukrainian.
00:22:32
Speaker
Just having very fit running up and down the sideline with Mudrik when Mudrik stays.
00:22:35
Speaker
And then it's like, you tell him you go behind, go behind, which is fine.
00:22:39
Speaker
To be honest, it's really, really disappointing to Mudrik because I'm still trying to hold on to high hopes, but just basic things are wrong now.
00:22:47
Speaker
Every game is the basics, right?
00:22:48
Speaker
You think to yourself, OK, no worries.
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I can see what you're trying to do, but you're doing everything else right.
00:22:52
Speaker
When you're trying the extra stuff, I'm like, yeah, now I can respect that because you're trying it.
00:22:56
Speaker
But when you can't do the basics right, like even just simple awareness and position on the pitch at the elite level, like that's a killer.
00:23:04
Speaker
That's what I mean.
00:23:04
Speaker
That's what I mean where I said, you know, he gets confused with the space that he could, you know, he may have at some point, you know, he gets confused.
00:23:10
Speaker
Do I go there?
00:23:12
Speaker
Then it's too late.
00:23:12
Speaker
You know, if you have to think about it that much, then, you know, again, we're at the highest level.
00:23:16
Speaker
It's...
00:23:16
Speaker
You don't have that space is no longer there.
00:23:19
Speaker
There is no more space.
00:23:20
Speaker
That's it.
00:23:20
Speaker
It's there for a split second.
00:23:21
Speaker
But with Muttrick, it feels like, you know, once in every four or five games, he has a very good game and then that's it.
00:23:27
Speaker
It just goes back into his old self.
00:23:29
Speaker
And look, that's that's obviously that's not sustainable.
00:23:32
Speaker
And for the price that he that he's been he was brought in at not sustainable play at least, you know, at least with Enzo, we've been talking shit about him for the majority of the season.
00:23:40
Speaker
But, you know, there's been good glimpses where it's like, OK, he's coming around now where he's trying to fit into that team.
00:23:46
Speaker
Caicedo, he's kind of doing the same.
00:23:48
Speaker
I saw him again a couple of moments in the last two matches that I watched of Chelsea where it's like, all right, okay, he's all right.
00:23:55
Speaker
He's tracking back.
00:23:56
Speaker
He's getting about, which is good.
00:23:59
Speaker
But, you know, with someone like Mudrick, you know, one in five games, one in four games, whatever it is, it's, yeah, I just don't think.
00:24:05
Speaker
I think you're being generous in one in four games.
00:24:07
Speaker
I think it's even more than that.
00:24:08
Speaker
Maybe not one in ten, but it's definitely higher than one in four, one in five.
00:24:12
Speaker
And I think he was meant to be our kind of savior, effectively.
00:24:15
Speaker
He was meant to be our killer player in terms of speed and attack and finesse and
00:24:23
Speaker
you know all and that sort of what's that like FIFA street style of I'm gonna take the player on and I'm gonna go and do this I'm super quick I'm two-footed and it just hasn't worked I don't know whether the link with Arsenal has not helped and obviously Arsenal then finishing second away being where we were with change of managers bring somebody else in but even with Porch I don't see him shout at him I feel like as if he's
00:24:42
Speaker
kind of babying him a little bit he needs to give him the treatment he gave Enzo Enzo was dropped for two weeks Enzo came off at half time and he started crying he came on or off I don't know not against Middlesbrough who did we play Fulham who did we play where Enzo came off crying he came off half time isn't it yeah and I think you said in the group oh it looks like he was injured he was not injured mate he was just that bad and I think that's what it is exactly it was bad he got brought up and rightly so bro like you play FIFA sometimes and there's a player telling you like oh boss I think I should play this one you go like I make the decisions here
00:25:12
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:25:13
Speaker
Don't get me started on FIFA, right?
00:25:14
Speaker
I've just started a new season with Birmingham on FIFA 22.
00:25:18
Speaker
Are you 22?
00:25:18
Speaker
I've got 22.
00:25:19
Speaker
I didn't want to buy the new one.
00:25:21
Speaker
I've got a story to tell you for the new one, but I'll come back to it.
00:25:24
Speaker
And the reason I tell you, it's not even a justifiable story why I bought it, but obviously I wanted it to get it.
00:25:30
Speaker
Say it.
00:25:30
Speaker
Should we go down it right now?
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah, just do it.
00:25:33
Speaker
Tell me.
00:25:33
Speaker
While we're on FIFA, quick side track.
00:25:35
Speaker
So you know my brother came down last weekend?
00:25:37
Speaker
Yeah, last weekend.
00:25:38
Speaker
My brother came down with his missus.
00:25:40
Speaker
And I was like, we had an appointment in there, a dental appointment for the little one in central London.
00:25:44
Speaker
And then we thought, right, OK.
00:25:46
Speaker
I said to him, you go do what you got to do with visiting family, friends and other people.
00:25:50
Speaker
And then obviously we'll meet you back.
00:25:51
Speaker
I said, I've brought the PlayStation out of the box because I'd packed it up and put it away, ready to sell it.
00:25:56
Speaker
Damn.
00:25:57
Speaker
Everybody was giving me like 60 quid, 80 quid for a PS4 Pro, by the way.
00:26:00
Speaker
And I was like, no, man.
00:26:01
Speaker
I might as well pay you to take the 60 quid.
00:26:04
Speaker
But anyway, long story short.
00:26:05
Speaker
So I bought, I got the PlayStation out, paid for the PS network.
00:26:09
Speaker
And I was like, right, I'll get FIFA ready.
00:26:11
Speaker
And it was on sale, the new one, 40 pounds.
00:26:14
Speaker
Still expensive, but 20 pounds less.
00:26:17
Speaker
Exactly.
00:26:17
Speaker
And it was the ultimate edition for 40 pounds.
00:26:19
Speaker
Oh, nice.
00:26:20
Speaker
Whatever it is.
00:26:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:22
Speaker
And I was like, is this true?
00:26:23
Speaker
So I'm Googling, am I just getting FIFA points for 40 quid here?
00:26:26
Speaker
Like it says ultimate edition, but am I just getting FIFA points?
00:26:29
Speaker
What is it?
00:26:29
Speaker
After a bit of research, I was like, okay, I'm going to buy it.
00:26:32
Speaker
The tunnel next to Lincoln North and South was blocked from southbound.
00:26:37
Speaker
So he got stuck in traffic to do a 3.5 mile journey for six hours.
00:26:42
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
00:26:43
Speaker
So by the time he left there at four o'clock, he didn't get to come home till 9.30.
00:26:51
Speaker
on Sunday so I bought FIFA I got the PlayStation out to have a couple of games with my brother like old times a bit of backcourt people and little scallywag and all that kind of stuff and I didn't get to play with him and I was like do you know what I'm not putting it away I'm going to get my money's worth I am starting a campaign I'm doing a little campaign on it at the minute but who'd you pick who's your team the equivalent to your Birmingham Chelsea
00:27:12
Speaker
Well, I don't think so, mate.
00:27:13
Speaker
I don't think so.
00:27:14
Speaker
Like, I had to... On FIFA, they're overpowered.
00:27:17
Speaker
Like, you can tell the players on FIFA, like the Mudrics and stuff are incredible on FIFA.
00:27:20
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:22
Speaker
But no, that's what I picked.
00:27:23
Speaker
That's what I picked.
00:27:23
Speaker
I'm currently, Mudrick has got 75 goals in 23.
00:27:26
Speaker
I won't be surprised.
00:27:28
Speaker
I won't be surprised.
00:27:29
Speaker
I've got it on professional.
00:27:30
Speaker
I'm just like, I lose a couple of games because I'm not very good at it yet.
00:27:33
Speaker
But...
00:27:35
Speaker
But now it's just nice just to wind down, isn't it?
00:27:37
Speaker
Playing a bit of FIFA.
00:27:39
Speaker
On FIFA 21, who the hell was I?
00:27:42
Speaker
I wasn't.
00:27:43
Speaker
No, no.
00:27:44
Speaker
This is on FIFA 21, which I've left.
Gaming Experiences: FIFA and F1
00:27:47
Speaker
I left back up north.
00:27:48
Speaker
And again, stupidly, I left back up north.
00:27:50
Speaker
Even when I went back up there during Christmas, should have brought it down.
00:27:53
Speaker
So for about a week, I was like, what the fuck am I going to do?
00:27:56
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:27:57
Speaker
So I was searching everywhere for FIFA 21.
00:27:58
Speaker
I was like, fuck it, because I've got the same game.
00:28:00
Speaker
I'll just carry on my campaign.
00:28:02
Speaker
Anyway, I found FIFA 22 on eBay.
00:28:05
Speaker
The guy lowered it from like 10 to 8 quid.
00:28:06
Speaker
So I was like, sound, all right, I'll buy that.
00:28:08
Speaker
8 quid, bought it.
00:28:11
Speaker
But anyway, on FIFA 21, I had Martinelli for my team.
00:28:13
Speaker
I can't remember who my team was.
00:28:15
Speaker
Not in Forest.
00:28:16
Speaker
So I bought Martinelli from Arsenal.
00:28:18
Speaker
So obviously very cheap, like, I don't know, like 11 mil or something.
00:28:22
Speaker
Bought him.
00:28:23
Speaker
And I swear to God, that guy got 63 goals in 46 games.
00:28:25
Speaker
63 goals.
00:28:26
Speaker
Wow.
00:28:26
Speaker
He went from like,
00:28:32
Speaker
i don't even know what rating he was at the beginning like 75 or 78 or something he reached 96 rating like that's how good this guy was anyway if you be 22 right i bought i bought it birmingham city is my team now because i thought fuck it you know they're big they're a big city that can do it well apparently not not as easy so there's a reason why rooney left so even on fifa they are a
00:28:54
Speaker
terrible, terrible team, like a terrible team.
00:28:57
Speaker
They have got some absolute shite players.
00:28:59
Speaker
So I was forced to obviously buy some players in, but there was one, there was, this is, this is how I knew how bad this team was, right?
00:29:06
Speaker
I was playing and the morale was just like, you know, not very good.
00:29:09
Speaker
And I'm like, why the,
00:29:10
Speaker
fuck is the morale not good they had troy dini on the bench right so i went through all my players i was like i'm gonna sell all these bitches right all of them troy dini he's gone bro but after that cojones thing he's gone anyway so i put him on the transfer market and uh so this is after the window closed put him on transfer market and then a few games in one of my players pops up and he goes uh boss yeah thanks for taking the time to to listen to me and all this but i've been chatting with some of the lads in the dressing room and the morale seems quite low
00:29:35
Speaker
I'm like, what the fuck do you mean?
00:29:38
Speaker
Anyway, so I accepted.
00:29:39
Speaker
I was like, oh, thanks for talking to me and all this.
00:29:41
Speaker
And then I got an email from the assistant manager saying, oh, I suggest Troy Deeney as the captain for the next match.
00:29:47
Speaker
So I'm like, what the fuck do you mean?
00:29:48
Speaker
So anyway, I put Troy Deeney on as the captain and as my striker, obviously.
00:29:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:53
Speaker
And bro, I'm not even kidding you.
00:29:55
Speaker
After five matches, the same player popped up on my message and goes, thanks, boss.
00:29:59
Speaker
Thanks for listening to me.
00:30:00
Speaker
The morale's gone up.
00:30:01
Speaker
And I'm like, I cannot believe this shit.
00:30:04
Speaker
But listen, right?
00:30:05
Speaker
I bought the best thing that I bought, the best player that I bought for my Birmingham team was Elisa.
00:30:10
Speaker
So I went to Crystal Palace.
00:30:11
Speaker
I was like, I want Michael Alise from you.
00:30:13
Speaker
And now he is my centre forward in that Firmino role.
00:30:16
Speaker
And obviously he's banging in goals for fun.
00:30:18
Speaker
But it is difficult.
00:30:19
Speaker
On world-class, it is fucking difficult.
00:30:21
Speaker
Are we playing on world-class?
00:30:22
Speaker
It is world-class.
00:30:23
Speaker
Like, on FIFA 21, world-class.
00:30:25
Speaker
FIFA 21, world-class.
00:30:26
Speaker
I got used to it.
00:30:27
Speaker
It was easy.
00:30:27
Speaker
I was, like I said, 63 goals with Martinelli, for God's sake.
00:30:31
Speaker
But on this, with world-class, I swear to God, right, there's some moments where I'm thinking, I'm playing Hull City, for example, and they're passing the ball like the 0-9 Barca.
00:30:41
Speaker
going on.
00:30:43
Speaker
So yeah, so FIFA pisses me off sometimes to the point where I literally I have to switch it off just to calm my nerves and then go back a couple of hours.
00:30:50
Speaker
It used to be better though didn't it like campaign and stuff until ultimate team ruined everything.
00:30:54
Speaker
Nothing now predominantly it's all around online.
00:30:57
Speaker
I don't like that whatever it's called like online trades or whatever.
00:31:00
Speaker
Because I think there's a name for it where you just whatever the buying FIFA coins and buying suits for Call of Duty etc.
00:31:06
Speaker
There's a phrase for it.
00:31:07
Speaker
I don't know what it's got.
00:31:08
Speaker
I think it's like online purchasing.
00:31:10
Speaker
No, no, but like whatever terminology is like online purchase or online.
00:31:13
Speaker
Right, right, right.
00:31:14
Speaker
In-game purchase.
00:31:14
Speaker
Yeah, in-game purchase.
00:31:15
Speaker
That's it.
00:31:16
Speaker
So obviously all this that predominantly focused on in-game purchase, FIFA coins, trying to do ultimate team and so on.
00:31:21
Speaker
And it's good, but who's got the time?
00:31:23
Speaker
Like, you already spent 60 quid on the game.
00:31:26
Speaker
Who's got the time to try and buy FIFA coins?
00:31:28
Speaker
And it's virtually impossible to try and get a decent ultimate team without spending money.
00:31:33
Speaker
Actual money.
00:31:34
Speaker
Yeah, actual money from your own pocket.
00:31:36
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:38
Speaker
Without your own pocket, go like, oh, let me get to spend another £20 on FIFA coins to buy some packs.
00:31:43
Speaker
And you think it's just not worth it.
00:31:46
Speaker
It really isn't.
00:31:48
Speaker
Sorry, we've got sidetracked.
00:31:49
Speaker
But yeah, FIFA, I had to buy a FIFA just to get my footy going on.
00:31:57
Speaker
But yeah, sometimes it's just so difficult and I just have to turn it off.
00:32:01
Speaker
Well, you should have said I could have had my 23 because mine came with a PlayStation.
00:32:05
Speaker
Now that I bought, obviously you didn't know I bought this one, but you should have said they're not playing.
00:32:08
Speaker
I'll be honest, I didn't even have it.
00:32:11
Speaker
I haven't played the PlayStation since February, March last year.
00:32:17
Speaker
i didn't realize you had a ps i thought you had an xbox so yeah well both uh currently yeah didn't realize that without showing up no that's fine i brought the xbox down and then the ps4 when i'm when we officially obviously moved in i was like right i need a playstation like i need a playstation as well i need to have both yeah yeah that's fine the xbox for me is more around forza whereas the place is for like fifa and uh
00:32:40
Speaker
FIFA and what you call it, Call of Duty and any other games.
00:32:43
Speaker
But like I said, I haven't played for so long, but anyway, now you know.
00:32:45
Speaker
So if you ever need any games, anything to build, any games I can try out, be like, yeah, yeah, pop down, let me send you the catalogue.
00:32:54
Speaker
No, honestly, the main reason I keep the PlayStation around is for F1, because I really enjoyed the F1 games.
00:33:02
Speaker
But again, they are fucking difficult without a wheel.
00:33:05
Speaker
They are so difficult without a wheel.
00:33:07
Speaker
And then you've got to find a space for a wheel, though.
00:33:10
Speaker
I don't know how you feel about you, mate.
00:33:11
Speaker
Well, I suppose for you it's okay, but for me, I don't know where to keep the wheel.
00:33:14
Speaker
Where the fuck am I going to put a wheel, bro?
00:33:15
Speaker
Seriously, where am I going to put a wheel?
00:33:17
Speaker
If I had space for a wheel, I would have brought my desk...
00:33:20
Speaker
My actual, like, you know, my studio desk would have brought that down.
00:33:24
Speaker
I don't have any space for it.
00:33:25
Speaker
And literally every time I'm playing F1 games and this is the last thing on the PlayStation, we'll move on.
00:33:30
Speaker
Every time I'm playing it, I can get to about five seconds behind the very top.
00:33:36
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:33:37
Speaker
The very top of the leaderboard, like on the global leaderboard.
00:33:40
Speaker
Five seconds is the most I can get, like the closest I can get to them.
00:33:43
Speaker
And that's a lot.
00:33:44
Speaker
And you know what I mean?
00:33:45
Speaker
That is a lot of time to be behind because shit, I've got a wheel.
00:33:48
Speaker
I know somebody's listening to it probably going like, oh, wow, only five seconds, which is great in a sense, but five seconds in F1 racing is like... Yeah, I was just saying, I have no assists on, no traction control, none of that.
00:34:00
Speaker
So proper racing.
00:34:02
Speaker
The only thing I have is just the gear changes.
00:34:04
Speaker
the automatic because obviously you know i don't have the actual paddle shifters on the steering wheel and my thumbs i'm not that i'm ambidextrous i can't move my thumbs like that the way that my thumbs work it doesn't work it's always the x and square in it or something to change x square yeah x square up and down i'm like no i'm not doing that shit but uh but yeah look we sidetracked um going back to real life football yes real life football let's do some predictions let's do some predictions because i think uh obviously if
00:34:29
Speaker
I'm hoping for a good performance.
00:34:31
Speaker
Sticking on Chelsea very quickly before I come to you because obviously you've gone a while without playing now.
00:34:35
Speaker
Why are you guys out of the FA Cup, by the way?
00:34:37
Speaker
I know why, but who got you out?
00:34:39
Speaker
I think it was Liverpool.
00:34:42
Speaker
Was it Liverpool?
00:34:43
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it was Liverpool.
00:34:43
Speaker
I can't remember.
00:34:44
Speaker
It's been that long.
00:34:44
Speaker
It was Liverpool.
00:34:45
Speaker
I actually thought you guys were playing and then I don't know.
00:34:49
Speaker
Today you went to Man United.
00:34:50
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:51
Speaker
what was it Newport equalised against you I was like wait there's football on today like what's going on Liverpool were earlier on today like I didn't even know we were talking about it in the group I didn't even check when I clicked on the group oh yeah because our message is on the thing did I just put on the chat because we were in it anyway yeah yeah yeah because obviously yeah because that was our two mates I thought that was the only game because obviously yes England coming right up yeah that's right yeah because obviously this card against fucking whoever the fuck it was that they were playing I can't even remember now
00:35:17
Speaker
But yeah, you're number 38, Scott, so happy days.
00:35:21
Speaker
But yeah, no, sorry, with Arsenal, we played last weekend, we beat Palace 5-0 at the Emirates.
00:35:27
Speaker
Great performance, can't really, you know, there's not really much to say about it, it was a very good performance, we needed them goals and that sort of emphatic win, so I was happy with that.
00:35:37
Speaker
But yeah, we play again on Tuesday, which obviously we'll get to predictions.
00:35:40
Speaker
But before we actually do that though, Rick, and obviously I know you want to add a bit more on Chelsea as well, but Klopp,
00:35:48
Speaker
leaving I know I know I know I know I cannot I can't believe that that actually that news came out like that you know I just it was probably the last thing that I ever would have guessed that would have happened this year do you know I mean Klopp leaving yeah so I didn't see it coming to be honest I don't think many people did yeah it's a it's a shock it's a shock for him to leave part of me is wishing he's only going to take a year out and then take over Chelsea after 2025 yeah
00:36:15
Speaker
If he takes over anything, it'll be Germany or Barcelona.
00:36:18
Speaker
Like, I'm telling you right now.
00:36:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:20
Speaker
It'll be Germany or Barcelona.
00:36:21
Speaker
So unless he gets offered a shitload of money from Bayern Munich or anywhere else.
00:36:26
Speaker
To be fair, I'd really like to see him at Madrid as well.
00:36:28
Speaker
If he's going to go anywhere, I'd like to see him.
00:36:30
Speaker
I know Ancelotti is doing bits there.
00:36:32
Speaker
But I've got a few.
00:36:33
Speaker
He's going to live forever.
00:36:34
Speaker
He's, he's, he watched Klopp and he gets interviewed and gets asked about cars and things that he has like materialistic things.
00:36:39
Speaker
He says, I've still got the Opel, which is a Vauxhall insignia.
00:36:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:43
Speaker
He goes, I've got a noble insignia, does me really well, I don't need anything else.
00:36:46
Speaker
And I just think to myself, you're an 8 million a year, how humble can you be to be like, do you know what, cars don't interest me.
00:36:52
Speaker
Is that it, 8 million a year?
00:36:53
Speaker
Sorry, for a manager, I mean, obviously, let's just be real.
00:36:56
Speaker
That's a lot of money.
00:36:58
Speaker
Yeah, it's a lot of money.
00:36:58
Speaker
I think that's what it is.
00:36:59
Speaker
I know Mourinho is the highest paid, obviously he's a little bit high.
00:37:02
Speaker
Liverpool don't really pay that well, mate, to be fair.
00:37:04
Speaker
It's because obviously John DeBruy, Henry, they have a very much more of an incentive approach.
00:37:09
Speaker
And that's what Chelsea's been trying to do, is kind of,
00:37:12
Speaker
100 grand salaries by like 10, 20% goal, clean
Speculating Klopp's Future
00:37:16
Speaker
cheap.
00:37:16
Speaker
So it's a lot of money.
00:37:18
Speaker
20% on 100 grand is another 20 grand.
00:37:20
Speaker
You scored two goals, there's your 150 that week.
00:37:22
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:37:23
Speaker
You are laughing.
00:37:25
Speaker
Which is in a way I think it's better than what we had previously.
00:37:27
Speaker
Previously we were winning trophies, but it's better to have that incentive.
00:37:31
Speaker
And for Liverpool it's worked really well simply because of Klopp.
00:37:34
Speaker
But what I'm interested to know is, same as Man United fans, when Fergie left and they were all giving it the big ones,
00:37:40
Speaker
where is it going?
00:37:41
Speaker
Same as Arsenal fans giving it the big until Wenger left.
00:37:44
Speaker
Where is it going?
00:37:44
Speaker
Same as Chelsea fans giving it the big until Lebron was left.
00:37:47
Speaker
Where is it going?
00:37:49
Speaker
And it's interesting to see what teams fill that space.
00:37:52
Speaker
You know, like Chelsea fell off.
00:37:53
Speaker
we saw Newcastle step in, right?
00:37:55
Speaker
Let's say the top four, for example, Chelsea fell off, Newcastle stepped in.
00:37:59
Speaker
Arsenal fell off, Spurs fell in a little bit in there now and again.
00:38:02
Speaker
Not very consistent.
00:38:03
Speaker
Not very consistent, but now and again, yeah.
00:38:06
Speaker
I think you're right, though.
00:38:08
Speaker
It is very interesting to see what happens with Klopp next year.
00:38:12
Speaker
And again, obviously, if he's going to actually take a year out and he means that he's going to take a year out, then yeah, chances are that it will be the Germany squad that he'll take over the national team.
00:38:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:21
Speaker
Unless, like you said, Bayern can hold out with Tuchel until next year and then he can take over Bayern Munich.
00:38:28
Speaker
But for me personally, I don't know, I've got this funny feeling that it's going to be announced that he's going to be the new Barca coach because Javi is obviously leaving at the end of the season.
00:38:38
Speaker
I'm not surprised.
00:38:40
Speaker
Barca's got too many financial problems.
00:38:42
Speaker
And I don't think they can A, afford Klopp and B, I don't think Klopp...
00:38:47
Speaker
would want that project with the broken I think he'll ruin his reputation going to Barca because he only remembered it you're only as good as your last match do you know what I mean that's right that's right Mourinho's the manager all we know is he got sacked by Roma and you think like Roma sacked Mourinho what do you know what I mean he kind of leaves a bad taste in it like you think Jose won Champions League reports or won everything by Inter Milan sacked by Roma what
00:39:09
Speaker
got into a European final and shit like are you crazy well he won didn't he won the conference league yeah he won the conference league and got to Europa League final got beat on the pen I think so you know it's madness but yeah it'll be interesting to see what happens I do think like you though I do think it'll be a German squad because like we said on the chat as well I think it's just more time for the family yeah yeah it makes more sense for him he can come back home rather than
00:39:31
Speaker
think of the next game of how you're going to compete against.
00:39:34
Speaker
Whereas Bayern is a possibility simply because of that German link, but because Thomas Tuchel is not.
00:39:41
Speaker
not everyone's favorite in Munich in Munich right now no I don't think he is I don't think he is bringing Eric Dier in and bringing players like that they're like when did Bayern Munich buy players who sat on the bench for other players other teams sorry and they've got a point Bayern Munich is not a team to buy Eric Dier to buy Eric's no you know you know that only happened because of Harry Kane like there is absolutely nowhere like there is no one on this earth that can convince me that Bayern Munich actually fucking scouted Eric
00:40:07
Speaker
just to be like, yeah, we want Eric because he is our best option.
00:40:10
Speaker
Are you fucking kidding me?
00:40:11
Speaker
You are Bayern Munich.
00:40:12
Speaker
I hate me saying it.
00:40:14
Speaker
What are you talking?
00:40:15
Speaker
I hate me saying it, but if Harry Kane was traveling to score, then I'd probably say I'd be with you, but he's got 23 goals half a season.
00:40:21
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:40:22
Speaker
So they're more inclined to listen to him, for them to bring... Yeah, he's the one.
00:40:27
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:40:28
Speaker
He's the one.
00:40:28
Speaker
I want Eric Dye to come in and then bring Eric Dye.
00:40:30
Speaker
Bring him in for whatever reason, because there is no way that, again, Bayern...
00:40:35
Speaker
you know, sort of wanted to scout Eric
00:40:38
Speaker
at any point during his career do you know what I mean like let's just be honest about that so yeah I don't think I don't think it was to do with his performances I think it was just a case of eh alright we need someone to fill in and Harry was like yeah cool alright Eric will do fucking Eric my god man anyways look let's move away from Eric and whatever but yeah talk to me about Chelsea then so you've got obviously you've got Liverpool coming up during the week tough tough tough it's a way as a world isn't it it's a way at Anfield really tough game yeah
00:41:09
Speaker
Interesting stuff, isn't it?
00:41:11
Speaker
Liverpool played today, so I suppose we've got that extra 48 hours, definitely 24 hours rest, because we played Friday night.
00:41:19
Speaker
It was a tough game, though, because it's a lot of football for us to play.
00:41:22
Speaker
We played Tuesday night, Friday night, Wednesday night.
00:41:25
Speaker
You've got the players to do it, though.
00:41:26
Speaker
You've got plenty of players.
00:41:28
Speaker
It's kind of like, what's it called, the rotating doors, one in, one out.
00:41:31
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:32
Speaker
We do have still some injuries, though.
00:41:34
Speaker
Still some players to come back from injury, like Nkuku to come back, Rhys James probably to come back.
00:41:38
Speaker
Jackson obviously is off what Jackson offers you is not goals but he offers you kind of a bit of power and strength up top to hold the ball up to kind of relieve the pressure because against Liverpool we'll need that Broy is really weak I don't know what's going on with Armando Broy I was holding him at high regard
00:41:52
Speaker
before he got injured, then he got injured.
00:41:54
Speaker
I was like, it's okay, Broer is going to come back and he's come back and he's just not hit the ground.
00:41:57
Speaker
And he seems really weak to get challenges.
00:41:59
Speaker
Van Dijk is going to bully him.
00:42:01
Speaker
Canata is going to bully him.
00:42:02
Speaker
You've got to trust your boy, man.
00:42:04
Speaker
I told you, Broer, he's not that good.
00:42:07
Speaker
And again... I trust you, but I trust my own eyes as well.
00:42:10
Speaker
I watched him three years ago.
00:42:11
Speaker
I watched him three years ago and he was decent.
00:42:14
Speaker
I saw what he did at Southampton and he was good, you know, like going up.
00:42:17
Speaker
Because with a striker, the first thing I look for is like, are you afraid for a challenge?
00:42:22
Speaker
Yeah?
00:42:22
Speaker
Because, OK, you can finish, which is great, but you very rarely get a finishing opportunity if you're afraid to put your body on the line, if you're afraid to battle with Van Dijk, with the Rios, the Vittiches, the Saul Campbells, the Tony Adams.
00:42:33
Speaker
You know, if you get that, it's kind of like they've won the battle.
00:42:36
Speaker
You're just going to get it and get rid, get it and get rid.
00:42:39
Speaker
Whereas Broy is currently doing that.
00:42:41
Speaker
He doesn't seem to want to kind of get in there, get battling, go for headers.
00:42:46
Speaker
And I don't know, there's nobody else.
00:42:48
Speaker
Cole Palmer will probably play as a nine, false nine.
00:42:50
Speaker
And if he does, he's not a false nine.
00:42:52
Speaker
He was really, really weak up top.
00:42:54
Speaker
And we don't have the players to do that Bobby Firmino role so that Mane and Salah can attack because the people attacking is fucking Maduweka.
00:43:02
Speaker
Sterling was very good against Villa, by the way.
00:43:04
Speaker
Playing from the left was very good, but that's Sterling's position.
00:43:07
Speaker
He'll probably play Mudrick on the left and Sterling on the right.
00:43:10
Speaker
And really all we've done there is just huge disadvantage for ourselves because Sterling needs to be on the left-hand side.
00:43:16
Speaker
Put Mudrick on the right.
00:43:18
Speaker
He might not lose the ball as often because players have got to come through him to get the ball because he's right-footed.
00:43:23
Speaker
And just say to him, Bro, just go to the line and cross it in.
00:43:25
Speaker
None of this cutting in from the left to shoot.
00:43:27
Speaker
go to the line and cross it.
00:43:28
Speaker
I don't want to do anything else.
00:43:29
Speaker
Just go to the line and then cross it.
00:43:31
Speaker
Just yeah, open open wider basically.
00:43:33
Speaker
Your right footed, play on the right wing, go up, cross it in.
00:43:36
Speaker
And yeah, exactly.
00:43:37
Speaker
Keep the pitch as wide as you possibly can.
00:43:38
Speaker
Because they won't have, they don't have Trent, they won't have Robertson.
00:43:42
Speaker
But that Bradley guy's been wicked, by the way, like wicked.
00:43:45
Speaker
Let's see.
00:43:46
Speaker
I mean, it's only been two games, but like two games that I've seen, he has been very, very good.
00:43:50
Speaker
And Liverpool fans and Liverpool
00:43:53
Speaker
Ex-legends, ex-players are talking of him in very high regard.
00:43:56
Speaker
Who's going to be shit next game?
00:43:58
Speaker
No, well, it's hope so because next game is against Chelsea.
00:44:01
Speaker
Hopefully they're on shit.
00:44:03
Speaker
Hopefully 38 is fucking playing.
00:44:05
Speaker
And Jones is playing as well just to have a look.
00:44:07
Speaker
If they boss it, I will say, do you know what?
00:44:10
Speaker
I'm not going to say his full name, I'm just going to call him 38 for now, and Glatchenberg.
00:44:16
Speaker
Glatchenberg, yeah, I love it.
00:44:17
Speaker
But you know you're going to be devastated and you're going to eat your words if both of them score, right?
00:44:21
Speaker
If they both score, I will eat my words.
00:44:22
Speaker
I'm the first person to admit it.
00:44:24
Speaker
No, I will actually send you a letter in the post with your words and I will...
00:44:29
Speaker
Yes, we'll eat it live on air.
00:44:30
Speaker
I'll ask you to eat it live.
00:44:32
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:44:33
Speaker
But I'll tell you what then.
00:44:34
Speaker
I'll tell you what.
00:44:36
Speaker
Before you give me your prediction for Chelsea, should we start with Tuesday night?
00:44:42
Speaker
Yeah, go with Tuesday because you guys are playing Tuesday as well.
00:44:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:44:44
Speaker
Who have you got?
00:44:45
Speaker
We've got Nottingham Forest away at the city ground.
00:44:48
Speaker
So that should be an interesting match.
00:44:50
Speaker
But actually, sorry, last thing before because I will forget this before we get into predictions, right?
00:44:54
Speaker
I just want to say and I want to add on how shit
00:44:58
Speaker
of a team Spurs are because I watched that match and I swear to God, I don't know where these pundits are fucking getting their ideas from that Spurs are going to do this and Gary Neville's like, oh, Spurs are going to be better than Arsenal and all this.
00:45:11
Speaker
Honestly, either he's getting paid by someone at Tottenham to talk that fucking bullshit or he is just blind to what the fuck he's watching because...
00:45:20
Speaker
They are honestly a horrible, horrible team.
00:45:23
Speaker
And you know what made it even better?
00:45:25
Speaker
There was one moment during the end where Pedro Porro was going up against Doku, right?
00:45:29
Speaker
And he was taunting him.
00:45:30
Speaker
Like, you know, like, what are you going to do?
00:45:32
Speaker
You saw that, right?
00:45:33
Speaker
I'm so glad because I didn't want to have to play.
00:45:35
Speaker
Because I called the last 15 minutes.
00:45:35
Speaker
I called the last 15 minutes of that match.
00:45:37
Speaker
Fucking guess what, mate?
00:45:39
Speaker
That goal came from Pedro Porro's side.
00:45:41
Speaker
And I was like, if I could jump into the TV to slap Porro in the face and be like, don't be a cunt because look what just happened, right?
00:45:50
Speaker
Look what just happened.
00:45:51
Speaker
And it did.
00:45:52
Speaker
The worst happened.
00:45:53
Speaker
And Ange is a fucking shit manager because he has no fucking ideas.
00:45:57
Speaker
And I don't give a shit.
00:45:58
Speaker
Like, I know people are going to disagree with me.
00:46:00
Speaker
They're going to be like, oh, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:01
Speaker
No, I know what I'm talking about because I watched enough Spurs matches to realize how fucking shit they are.
00:46:06
Speaker
Like them and their fucking coach.
00:46:08
Speaker
The bits that I watched, the only good thing that they did is when they got out of that pressure.
00:46:13
Speaker
And the best way to describe the exact moment was when Guardiola screamed at Doku to run.
00:46:17
Speaker
And they're saying, run, run.
00:46:19
Speaker
And Spurs had those little triangle one, two.
00:46:22
Speaker
That was good.
00:46:22
Speaker
But then after that, they had nothing else.
00:46:24
Speaker
They weren't offering anything.
00:46:26
Speaker
They don't offer.
00:46:26
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:46:27
Speaker
They don't offer anything.
00:46:28
Speaker
Like they are a team that genuinely do not offer anything.
00:46:30
Speaker
Let's let me just have a quick look at the lineups.
00:46:32
Speaker
Right.
00:46:32
Speaker
Just just so you.
00:46:33
Speaker
OK, so they had Kulusevsky on.
00:46:35
Speaker
So pretty much had a full team apart from Madison, I think, isn't it?
00:46:39
Speaker
Apart from Madison.
00:46:40
Speaker
And Sonny.
00:46:41
Speaker
Oh, sorry.
00:46:41
Speaker
And Madison came on.
00:46:42
Speaker
Yes.
00:46:42
Speaker
Oh, and Son.
00:46:43
Speaker
All right.
00:46:43
Speaker
Fucking hell.
00:46:44
Speaker
so one player i'm not saying it to you so no no it's a one player right and they had fucking madison come on because i know i remember from conversation that we've had on the podcast in previous episodes where you said oh they missed madison and all this okay fair enough they brought madison on they didn't do fuck all and they actually lost it's come on it's difficult city just city can do that to any team what's impressive with spurs for me is and i'm not sticking up for them but
00:47:10
Speaker
Just a different perspective is that City haven't scored on that ground in six games.
Tottenham vs. Manchester City Critique
00:47:15
Speaker
This was the seventh game.
00:47:16
Speaker
They've scored it now and obviously they've won it and got knocked out of the way.
00:47:19
Speaker
It's a knockout match.
00:47:21
Speaker
That's it.
00:47:21
Speaker
I could never really see Spurs beat City to be fair.
00:47:25
Speaker
Regardless, even if they had the full team with Son, Madison, Kulosevskiy, Bentancou, Basuma, all these other players that you call, whoever you want to name, I couldn't really see them get past City because City are just too strong.
00:47:36
Speaker
Even if they might have got a draw and then City gone through regardless,
00:47:40
Speaker
But no, for me, the Spurs fan needs to demand a lot now because Spurs have been granted the richest club in London with intake or something like plus 800 million.
00:47:53
Speaker
And if they bring in that kind of money in... It's commercial, yeah.
00:47:56
Speaker
If you're the richest club in London now, as fans, you need to demand when it gets invested into the team.
00:48:02
Speaker
Back to manager.
00:48:03
Speaker
This guy seems to do all right.
00:48:04
Speaker
He's bringing the feel-good factor.
00:48:05
Speaker
He's talked to Spurs fans.
00:48:06
Speaker
They've trusted in hands.
00:48:07
Speaker
They've got that song.
00:48:09
Speaker
trusting in Ange again or whatever it is.
00:48:10
Speaker
I don't know what's being played on.
00:48:12
Speaker
Don't trust Ange that much, because again, I'm just looking at the stats here, right?
00:48:15
Speaker
And have you seen these stats, by the way, from that match?
00:48:20
Speaker
So again, expected goals, you know how I feel about them.
00:48:22
Speaker
I don't really care.
00:48:23
Speaker
But just to give you an idea, right?
00:48:24
Speaker
Yes, yes, of course.
00:48:25
Speaker
People love the stats.
00:48:26
Speaker
So yeah, go for it.
00:48:27
Speaker
Man City, right?
00:48:28
Speaker
Man City, expected goals was 2.19, right?
00:48:30
Speaker
Spurs was 0.25.
00:48:35
Speaker
So a quarter of a fucking goal, right?
00:48:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:38
Speaker
Ball possession was 43 to 57, right?
00:48:41
Speaker
Goal attempts.
00:48:42
Speaker
Goal attempts, right?
00:48:43
Speaker
Are you ready for this?
00:48:45
Speaker
18 this needs to be recorded the listeners need to see your facial expressions 18 for city right one attempt that's the full match by the way one attempt that's the full fucking match right and playing at home as well by the way and playing at home shots on goal one to five shots off goal zero because you know what the fuck they had one shot which went on target and then that was literally it's like they didn't play the rest of the match
00:49:07
Speaker
So, yeah, let's just, you know, can we just be honest with the way that's fucking Spurs play?
00:49:12
Speaker
They are not a good team.
00:49:13
Speaker
And it's lucky for them that the rest, like Arsenal have obviously had a bit of a fall down.
00:49:17
Speaker
Liverpool didn't have a great start of the season.
00:49:20
Speaker
Newcastle obviously haven't been up to the races.
00:49:22
Speaker
Man City had a bad start to the season.
00:49:24
Speaker
So that's why Spurs are looking good.
00:49:25
Speaker
And this is, I will maintain this until Spurs end second or fucking win the league.
00:49:31
Speaker
I will, then I'll eat my words.
00:49:32
Speaker
Then you can send me a fucking post.
00:49:33
Speaker
Yes, it's also due to the post, yeah.
00:49:35
Speaker
So this doesn't count if they finish above you?
00:49:38
Speaker
I mean... Because Gary Neville, I think that's what he's predicting, isn't he?
00:49:41
Speaker
He's saying Spurs are much above Arsenal.
00:49:43
Speaker
Hey, that's fine.
00:49:44
Speaker
I'll eat my words.
00:49:44
Speaker
If they finish above Arsenal, I'll eat my words.
00:49:46
Speaker
Yeah, send me the letter, brother.
00:49:48
Speaker
I'll eat it.
00:49:48
Speaker
Gladly.
00:49:49
Speaker
Make sure it's line, though, yeah?
00:49:49
Speaker
Make sure it's line paper.
00:49:53
Speaker
So anyway, that's my rant on Spurs over, right?
00:49:55
Speaker
I just had to mention that.
00:49:55
Speaker
Let's go back to the prediction.
00:49:56
Speaker
Who have they got this week?
00:49:57
Speaker
Who have they got, obviously, back into the Premier League?
00:49:59
Speaker
Who do Spurs have?
00:50:00
Speaker
Let's give, obviously, with Manesson coming back from injury, like, a better judgment against them.
00:50:04
Speaker
Because Timo Werner didn't offer anything that game.
00:50:06
Speaker
I don't know.
00:50:06
Speaker
Do you know the one there where he was one-on-one and Karl Walker caught him up?
00:50:10
Speaker
Yeah, oh my God.
00:50:12
Speaker
And he was just running straight instead of cutting across.
00:50:14
Speaker
And then all the commentary was like, he can still do that 33.
00:50:17
Speaker
I was like, because Vernon just slowed the fuck down.
00:50:19
Speaker
Because what you do is you always get instructed.
00:50:22
Speaker
As soon as you get the ball, the defender's behind you.
00:50:25
Speaker
You cut in front of the defender.
00:50:26
Speaker
Now either they slow down or they take you out.
00:50:29
Speaker
Either or.
00:50:30
Speaker
That's the only way to do it.
00:50:32
Speaker
They have to slow down thinking trying to get the ball, the yellow card, etc.
00:50:34
Speaker
That's the main reason.
00:50:36
Speaker
But yeah, Timo Werner had a chance and he just didn't do it.
00:50:39
Speaker
They reminded me of a Modric there because like, oh, I've got the ball.
00:50:41
Speaker
Let me run forward.
00:50:42
Speaker
but you're still slower than the guy who's running without the ball because you have to slow down to touch the ball.
00:50:47
Speaker
Otherwise, you're kicking it from here to London Bridge.
00:50:50
Speaker
Timo Werner is the epitome of what a Tottenham player is.
00:50:55
Speaker
He embodies the whole Tottenham team as one player.
00:51:00
Speaker
He is that guy.
00:51:01
Speaker
And then when you add Richarlison at the top, which is fucking insane.
00:51:04
Speaker
If you're anything like me, my headwear is only New Era Cups.
00:51:09
Speaker
New Era is the official headwear provider for NFL, MLB and the NBA.
00:51:15
Speaker
But New Era Caps are not just headwear.
00:51:17
Speaker
They are a global brand of culture, style and self-expression.
00:51:21
Speaker
I'm a huge fan of rap and hip hop and growing up, I used to watch artists sporting the New Era Caps.
00:51:26
Speaker
I was mesmerized by the way they used to fit just perfectly.
00:51:30
Speaker
I remember my first ever New Era Cap.
00:51:32
Speaker
It was a Blue Jays cap.
00:51:34
Speaker
I lived in Toronto, so it had to be.
00:51:36
Speaker
My favorite from my personal collection is my LA Dodgers.
00:51:39
Speaker
I have two different versions, fitted and the 940.
00:51:41
Speaker
What I love most about Nuera is the quality of the product is second to none.
00:51:47
Speaker

00:52:07
Speaker
Anyways, well, let's get on to predictions before I lose my shit about Tottenham.
00:52:11
Speaker
I can tell you're feeling very vexed.
00:52:13
Speaker
I was waiting for this moment.
00:52:14
Speaker
I watched bits of that match.
00:52:16
Speaker
Well, actually, I watched a lot of that match, to be honest, for me to come to this conclusion.
00:52:20
Speaker
But yeah, I was waiting to bring that up.
00:52:22
Speaker
Anyway, Nottingham, Arsenal, obviously, it's my team.
00:52:25
Speaker
So you go first with the prediction.
00:52:26
Speaker
What are we thinking?
00:52:27
Speaker
It's at Nottingham.
00:52:28
Speaker
It's at Nottingham Forest.
00:52:33
Speaker
I think you'll win, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as it was against Palace.
00:52:37
Speaker
I think you'll probably win.
00:52:39
Speaker
Northern Forest will attack.
00:52:41
Speaker
But I think, yeah, I think you've got that.
00:52:43
Speaker
Tactically, you'll be better.
00:52:45
Speaker
I'll tell you, better players.
00:52:47
Speaker
You should win.
00:52:48
Speaker
I think you will win.
00:52:48
Speaker
You'll probably win 3-1.
00:52:52
Speaker
Let's go 3-1.
00:52:53
Speaker
Maybe not a 5, but maybe a 3-1.
00:52:56
Speaker
But if you're not careful, you could very easily lose this game as well, to be fair.
00:52:59
Speaker
So, yeah, it's interesting.
00:53:00
Speaker
I'm going to go 4-2.
00:53:01
Speaker
4-2 for you guys.
00:53:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:03
Speaker
Game of the week already.
00:53:05
Speaker
No, I don't think so.
00:53:06
Speaker
Not for me anyway.
00:53:07
Speaker
That's a heart attack game right there.
00:53:09
Speaker
4-2 is a great result.
00:53:11
Speaker
Okay, I mean 3-1.
00:53:13
Speaker
It's the same.
00:53:14
Speaker
For reason, I just think 3-1 is just because you're winning 2-1, they'll put all the players forward, you'll hit some counter like you did against Palace and then make it 3-1.
00:53:23
Speaker
Just literally, if I was to put a bet on and predict the correct result, it would probably be a 3-1.
00:53:26
Speaker
Now, why...
00:53:29
Speaker
Did you say that we could potentially lose this match?
00:53:32
Speaker
Because you said it was interesting, but why did you
Arsenal's Potential Underestimation
00:53:34
Speaker
say that?
00:53:34
Speaker
Tell me what's interesting about that shit.
00:53:35
Speaker
What's interesting about that shit?
00:53:37
Speaker
It's just a big striker up top.
00:53:38
Speaker
I don't know how they're going to play.
00:53:39
Speaker
I think Zinchenko might make him.
00:53:41
Speaker
It depends on his start in XI, to be honest with you.
00:53:44
Speaker
Coming back from a 5-0, I've seen it to many teams.
00:53:46
Speaker
I've been on the receiving end of like as a Chelsea fan, I've been probably beat one team and then going to play it against another team and going to like bang average because the players think the game's won before it's even started.
00:53:56
Speaker
oh, where's fourth or where fifth or where Arsenal or where you were Chelsea back in my time, my time, back when my team did it, sorry.
00:54:03
Speaker
It was very easy to think, lose the game 1-0.
00:54:07
Speaker
So that's where I'm at really, just thinking on the players' mentality.
00:54:10
Speaker
But because you're fourth, you probably won't have that mentality.
00:54:13
Speaker
Now, this isn't a dig.
00:54:14
Speaker
It's more like we're fourth.
00:54:15
Speaker
We need to chase the pack because we were first for so long.
00:54:19
Speaker
So I think you're going to have that killer instinct and you'll probably win 3-1.
00:54:21
Speaker
Actually, we're third.
00:54:22
Speaker
We're third.
00:54:22
Speaker
Oh, you're third.
00:54:24
Speaker
Oh, who's fourth?
00:54:25
Speaker
Billa.
00:54:26
Speaker
Villa, okay.
00:54:27
Speaker
Villa third, yeah.
00:54:28
Speaker
And Tottenham are trailing three points behind Villa and Arsenal right now.
00:54:32
Speaker
So very tight.
00:54:33
Speaker
Very, very tight.
00:54:34
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:54:36
Speaker
And I agree with what you're saying, though.
00:54:38
Speaker
It could be a game that there's one Arsenal podcast I listen to and he calls this a trap game, right?
00:54:43
Speaker
So what he means by that is like, again, what you just said there, you know, you sort of underestimate your opponent and you're like, oh, well, we're going to, we'll move past Nottingham and then we'll look to the next one.
00:54:53
Speaker
And say, well, no, no, no.
00:54:54
Speaker
You just go to Nottingham.
00:54:55
Speaker
That's it.
00:54:56
Speaker
you play the game at Nottingham and then you think about the other match.
00:54:59
Speaker
So yeah, you're absolutely, I can, I can see that.
00:55:01
Speaker
I can definitely see that.
00:55:02
Speaker
I'm going to go for two because I think they're going to try and keep up that momentum that they had.
00:55:07
Speaker
They're well, well rested now.
00:55:09
Speaker
And I think we've got pretty much full squad.
00:55:12
Speaker
Gabriel, I don't think he's, I think he's all right now.
00:55:16
Speaker
And Zinchenko will definitely play this match.
00:55:18
Speaker
I think it's a Zinchenko match, to be honest.
00:55:20
Speaker
You know, dropping into that, moving forward into that midfield role, just adding a bit more.
00:55:25
Speaker
with and hopefully Rice can play as well.
00:55:27
Speaker
So yeah, I think I think for two, you say three, one, fair dues, man.
00:55:30
Speaker
It's an interesting game because obviously they've got players that can hurt you as well.
00:55:34
Speaker
Like not to your quality, not to your calibrate.
00:55:38
Speaker
But they can score goals like Chris Wood can score goals.
00:55:41
Speaker
Carlton O'Doye can score goals.
00:55:42
Speaker
And Lange can score goals.
00:55:44
Speaker
Lange, what a player, by the way.
00:55:45
Speaker
What a player.
00:55:45
Speaker
What's the guy in the middle of his name?
00:55:47
Speaker
The captain, Gibbs White.
00:55:49
Speaker
He's a decent player.
00:55:50
Speaker
He's a good player.
00:55:51
Speaker
Gibbs White, yeah.
00:55:53
Speaker
Nuno has done all right.
00:55:54
Speaker
He's done all right there since taking over.
00:55:56
Speaker
So we'll see.
00:55:56
Speaker
We'll see.
00:55:57
Speaker
It should be an interesting game, to be fair.
00:55:59
Speaker
I still think you'll win, easily win.
00:56:01
Speaker
It could be as easy as Palace.
00:56:03
Speaker
I don't want to contradict myself.
00:56:05
Speaker
No, no, of course.
00:56:06
Speaker
It could well be the game of the week, at least for that day.
00:56:12
Speaker
But obviously, don't forget, we've got Villa Newcastle later on in the evening as well.
00:56:16
Speaker
So that could definitely has the recipe for the game of the week.
00:56:20
Speaker
There's a bit of payback because Newcastle slapped them.
00:56:23
Speaker
Yes.
00:56:23
Speaker
And everybody thought they were going to struggle.
00:56:25
Speaker
So we'll see.
00:56:27
Speaker
That was the first game of the season, wasn't it?
00:56:29
Speaker
Yeah, first game of the season.
00:56:30
Speaker
First game of the season, yeah.
00:56:31
Speaker
Or 4-1 or something silly like that.
00:56:34
Speaker
I was at a bachelor's party for that.
00:56:35
Speaker
And I remember watching it live in a club somewhere.
00:56:39
Speaker
And yeah, obviously with Newcastle fans around me because it was in Newcastle.
00:56:42
Speaker
And yeah, I remember watching that match.
00:56:44
Speaker
And I was obviously, you know, got carried away with the whole Newcastle support at that time before obviously that bullshit happened.
00:56:49
Speaker
So before I put the curse on them.
00:56:51
Speaker
But anyway, moving on, we've got Fulham Everton at Fulham.
00:56:54
Speaker
What are we thinking?
00:56:55
Speaker
Everton just lost in the FA Cup to Luton.
00:56:58
Speaker
Wow.
00:56:59
Speaker
So, you know, they need to respond.
00:57:03
Speaker
They need to.
00:57:04
Speaker
I don't think it's Fulham.
00:57:06
Speaker
Where is it at?
00:57:07
Speaker
Is it Goodison or Fulham?
00:57:08
Speaker
It's at Fulham.
00:57:09
Speaker
It's at Fulham.
00:57:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:57:11
Speaker
Probably 1-0 Fulham.
00:57:12
Speaker
I can't see Everton doing anything.
00:57:13
Speaker
I really worry for Everton.
00:57:15
Speaker
They've got more sanctions
Everton's Transfer Strategy
00:57:16
Speaker
coming towards their way.
00:57:16
Speaker
I think players are going to start looking for a way out and down tools.
00:57:20
Speaker
and just get on the phone to their agent and be like, find me another club for the summer because I'm not going to the championship.
00:57:26
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I agree.
00:57:28
Speaker
I agree with you.
00:57:29
Speaker
Again, if Luton carry on in this sort of nice little trajectory that they've got going on, they do little bits, Luton, compared to Burnley and Sheffield.
00:57:36
Speaker
Yeah, that's it.
00:57:37
Speaker
They do, but I'm just thinking another sanction, another 10-point deduction for Everton.
00:57:41
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:57:41
Speaker
They're at the bottom of the league.
00:57:43
Speaker
I agree.
00:57:44
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:57:44
Speaker
Dead last, and there's no way coming back from that.
00:57:46
Speaker
So I think I'm going to go 3-0 Follum.
00:57:49
Speaker
I think Everton are probably in the phase right now where it's like they're probably going to be feeling that FA Cup loss.
00:57:56
Speaker
They're going to be slapped about by Sean Dyche.
00:57:59
Speaker
But I don't think they're going to respond because of the reasons that you just mentioned.
00:58:03
Speaker
So I agree.
00:58:04
Speaker
I agree.
00:58:04
Speaker
I can't see them scoring.
00:58:06
Speaker
Similar to you.
00:58:07
Speaker
2-0.
00:58:08
Speaker
I said 1-0 to start with.
00:58:10
Speaker
But now that I heard they got beat and playing them so soon and beating at Fulham.
00:58:15
Speaker
I'm going to give him an extra goal for them.
00:58:16
Speaker
So hopefully him in his squad.
00:58:21
Speaker
I think I've got two players.
00:58:22
Speaker
I think I've got two players to play or a few players to play.
00:58:26
Speaker
I can't remember.
00:58:26
Speaker
I've still benched Salah, Son.
00:58:28
Speaker
I've not even changed.
00:58:29
Speaker
I'm just trying to change as I could because when these guys come back, I don't think I'm able to afford them.
00:58:33
Speaker
So I'm trying to change them and keep them in the team so that Salah, Son and Harlan can do something for the final third of the season.
00:58:40
Speaker
I'm going with cheaper options so I can afford Haaland and Salah when they come back.
00:58:45
Speaker
But I hope, well, I don't think, Egypt are out, aren't they?
00:58:49
Speaker
Are they out now?
00:58:49
Speaker
I don't know.
00:58:50
Speaker
I think they lost or something.
00:58:52
Speaker
He's injured anyway, isn't he?
00:58:53
Speaker
He's injured for like the next month or something.
00:58:55
Speaker
Oh, there you go then.
00:58:56
Speaker
So happy days.
00:58:56
Speaker
And obviously when we get to that Chelsea-Liverpool match.
00:58:59
Speaker
He's not there.
00:59:00
Speaker
No, he's not.
00:59:01
Speaker
So it's going to be fun.
Match Predictions: Luton vs. Brighton
00:59:03
Speaker
Yeah, he ain't there, bro.
00:59:04
Speaker
But next match, we've got Luton-Brighton.
00:59:06
Speaker
It's at Luton.
00:59:07
Speaker
And obviously, you know, Brighton won in the FA Cup, Luton won in the FA Cup, so two teams coming in.
00:59:12
Speaker
I think Luton might win it, you know.
00:59:13
Speaker
I was going to say that.
00:59:14
Speaker
I genuinely was.
00:59:15
Speaker
I was thinking like a 1-0.
00:59:16
Speaker
Luton might take it.
00:59:17
Speaker
Yeah, something silly.
00:59:18
Speaker
1-0, 2-1.
00:59:18
Speaker
Like a one goal difference.
00:59:20
Speaker
1-0 drop back.
00:59:20
Speaker
Like scrappy.
00:59:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:22
Speaker
1-0 drop back, mate.
00:59:22
Speaker
Take the lead and just do that.
00:59:24
Speaker
In a way, I mean, Pedro Porras will score because he's definitely on my fantasy team.
00:59:27
Speaker
But yeah, no.
00:59:29
Speaker
I want Luton to win.
00:59:31
Speaker
I don't know why.
00:59:31
Speaker
Not a hatred, but like a real dislike for Brighton.
00:59:34
Speaker
But absolutely...
00:59:35
Speaker
tearing my team into shreds in terms of financially 66 for kukurella 100 should applaud them for being so true what if they did it to you guys but when they do it well you know you bastards well they tried that with trossard but we bought him for 25 27 million and he's been incredible so you know fantastic exactly we end up getting some absolute yeah exactly i can understand why you hate them i hate them because my guys are so weak but
01:00:00
Speaker
Hate is a strong word.
01:00:01
Speaker
I just dislike him.
01:00:01
Speaker
I'm going to just go with I just dislike him for now.
01:00:03
Speaker
I think they shafted you and Liverpool, to be honest.
01:00:05
Speaker
Oh, shafted.
01:00:05
Speaker
Yeah, completely.
01:00:07
Speaker
Who's the guy that the World Cup winner that they got?
01:00:09
Speaker
McAllister.
01:00:09
Speaker
McAllister, yeah.
01:00:10
Speaker
How much was he, by the way?
01:00:11
Speaker
Wasn't it like 50 or something?
01:00:13
Speaker
No, it wasn't 50.
01:00:14
Speaker
35, I think.
01:00:15
Speaker
35, yeah.
01:00:15
Speaker
35.
01:00:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:16
Speaker
35.
01:00:17
Speaker
Phil.
01:00:18
Speaker
You guys got shafted.
01:00:20
Speaker
We received a double shafted.
01:00:21
Speaker
We received a gang.
01:00:22
Speaker
You've got a double penetration right there.
01:00:23
Speaker
I'm not going to lie to you.
01:00:25
Speaker
And the rest.
01:00:26
Speaker
Todd Bowley's sitting down ever since.
01:00:28
Speaker
You've got blacked raw.
01:00:28
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:31
Speaker
Anyways, kids, stay off the internet.
01:00:35
Speaker
It's bad out there.
01:00:36
Speaker
Of course, it was for kids.
01:00:37
Speaker
It wasn't for you.
01:00:40
Speaker
You do what you want.
01:00:41
Speaker
You're a grown ass man.
Nostalgic Night Out with Friends
01:00:42
Speaker
It's cool.
01:00:42
Speaker
It's cool.
01:00:42
Speaker
It's cool.
01:00:43
Speaker
I don't watch any of that.
01:00:43
Speaker
I don't know what it is.
01:00:47
Speaker
we're both going 1-0 Luton in this one right yeah let's bring it back and this prediction is purely based on your hatred for Brighton that's literally it so yeah you're being a team player and supporting your boy supporting my boy absolutely you know wingman and all this you know it's all the nights out that we used to have you know wingman and you know we got the badges for it and shit that's it you know speaking of nights out very quickly one of the best nights out we've ever had was that 5p game when we started playing oh that was it because our main focus and everybody around us as well
01:01:16
Speaker
was just on each other.
01:01:17
Speaker
It wasn't like, sort of like, trying to attract opposite sex or anything like that.
01:01:22
Speaker
It was literally just us boys.
01:01:23
Speaker
I was trying to hit on women, but it was, yeah, this time it was the boys, yeah.
01:01:26
Speaker
It wasn't hitting on the boys, it was just, you know, just the boys.
01:01:29
Speaker
Let's just be clear about that one, okay?
01:01:32
Speaker
Stay off the internet, kids.
01:01:35
Speaker
So yeah, one-nil lute I do.
01:01:37
Speaker
yeah we'll go with that but yeah sorry that 5p game by the way that was epic because I remember the first time we played that game you came with the 5p and you literally got a bottle of sanitiser you got a bottle of sanitiser yeah no don't worry boys it's clean yeah it's clean boop dropped it's like you bastard the best thing was I think you got who did you get did you get no did you didn't get me I think you got one of the boys who's in the group chat and he's just ordered his corona yeah and you just went and touched like as soon as his hand touched he dropped the 5p in his thing and he was just like
01:02:07
Speaker
But I just paid for this.
01:02:09
Speaker
And obviously we were, what, students-ish?
01:02:12
Speaker
Yeah, I think we were students.
01:02:13
Speaker
Obviously, we didn't really have the money.
01:02:14
Speaker
So when we paid for a drink, we wanted it to last at least half an hour.
01:02:17
Speaker
It wasn't kind of like, oh, down in one second.
01:02:19
Speaker
I think we made the rule afterwards, didn't we?
01:02:21
Speaker
You have to have your drink for a bit before you actually do that.
01:02:24
Speaker
It became silly.
01:02:25
Speaker
Can we...
01:02:26
Speaker
I was going to say, I mean, I'd love to play that game again, bro, but A, my bank account doesn't work like that anymore, and B, my liver.
01:02:33
Speaker
My body doesn't work yet, exactly.
01:02:34
Speaker
Actually, do you know what?
01:02:35
Speaker
Forget the liver because I haven't abused my liver, so I can take it for that night, but it's the day after that I can't deal with.
01:02:41
Speaker
The day?
01:02:42
Speaker
Singular?
01:02:43
Speaker
I'm talking days.
01:02:43
Speaker
You're right, you're right.
01:02:44
Speaker
You're absolutely right.
01:02:45
Speaker
You're absolutely right.
01:02:46
Speaker
I get man flu, and it used to be three days.
01:02:48
Speaker
I used to say to my wife, well, even now, I say to my wife, it's fine.
01:02:51
Speaker
Second and third day, I'll be all right.
01:02:52
Speaker
I'll be fine.
01:02:52
Speaker
Only three days.
01:02:54
Speaker
Five days, bro.
01:02:55
Speaker
Five days to a week.
01:02:56
Speaker
I'm like, oh my God, I'm actually, I can't get up.
01:02:58
Speaker
I'm drained.
01:02:59
Speaker
Before, like first one, I could feel it coming in and I'd be like, hey, sorry, make yourself welcome for 48 hours because you're leaving.
01:03:06
Speaker
And then this motherfucker decides to stay until day six.
01:03:09
Speaker
I'm like, oh my God, what is wrong with me?
01:03:11
Speaker
And it's old age.
01:03:13
Speaker
It's a guest that overstays his welcome.
01:03:15
Speaker
That's it.
01:03:16
Speaker
That's it.
01:03:17
Speaker
Right,
Crystal Palace vs. Sheffield United Predictions
01:03:18
Speaker
next game.
01:03:18
Speaker
We've got Crystal Palace, Sheffield United.
01:03:20
Speaker
Oh, Palace against Sheffield United.
01:03:23
Speaker
It's at Palace.
01:03:25
Speaker
I don't know.
01:03:26
Speaker
I mean... They need to respond, but then Sheffield is just going to make it there.
01:03:29
Speaker
I think it'll be a draw, to be fair.
01:03:30
Speaker
I think I'm going to go for 1-1.
01:03:32
Speaker
I know you wanted to go first on this one.
01:03:33
Speaker
I'll jump the gun.
01:03:33
Speaker
No, no, that's fine.
01:03:34
Speaker
That's fine.
01:03:35
Speaker
I'm just going to go for a 1-1.
01:03:36
Speaker
I don't really care for it either way, but just making a prediction.
01:03:40
Speaker
1-1.
01:03:40
Speaker
Do you know what it is, right?
01:03:43
Speaker
I think I'm going to go with a Palace win.
01:03:44
Speaker
I'm just looking at that match and then Palace just sort of pop out at me that they're going to win.
01:03:48
Speaker
Maybe.
01:03:50
Speaker
I think it's going to be 2-0 Palace.
01:03:54
Speaker
Oh, wow.
01:03:54
Speaker
Okay.
01:03:55
Speaker
I know.
01:03:56
Speaker
That's a bold prediction.
01:03:57
Speaker
It really is.
01:03:58
Speaker
Especially against a Chris Wilder team who's probably going to sit there with everybody at the back line and trying to hit on the counter.
01:04:05
Speaker
That's what I think.
01:04:05
Speaker
But no, 2-0 could easily happen.
01:04:07
Speaker
Could easily happen.
01:04:08
Speaker
They'll score first and then they'll come out and score again.
01:04:10
Speaker
So, yeah, yeah.
01:04:11
Speaker
I can see it happening.
01:04:12
Speaker
But for me, I just think 1-1.
01:04:13
Speaker
I don't know why McBride or whatever his name is a ginger kid up top.
01:04:17
Speaker
McBurney, McBride.
01:04:18
Speaker
McBurney, McBurney, isn't it?
01:04:20
Speaker
McBurney.
01:04:20
Speaker
Yeah, McBurney, yeah.
01:04:21
Speaker
Yeah, McBurney is at Everton.
01:04:23
Speaker
McBurney, so maybe he'll get a goal, a header or something, and then Palace will score as well, so yeah.
01:04:27
Speaker
My boy, Alisa.
01:04:28
Speaker
My boy, Michael Alisa.
01:04:29
Speaker
He's quality.
01:04:31
Speaker
And again, another player that I would love to buy.
01:04:34
Speaker
And Palace, obviously, they need money.
01:04:35
Speaker
So I think that's one player that I would urge Arteta to purchase for the next season.
01:04:41
Speaker
There'll be a million wars for him, though.
01:04:43
Speaker
Come in the summer.
01:04:43
Speaker
City won him.
01:04:44
Speaker
Chelsea won him.
01:04:45
Speaker
Arsenal won him.
01:04:46
Speaker
I think a lot of teams.
01:04:48
Speaker
United won him.
01:04:49
Speaker
If he's clever enough, he wouldn't pick.
01:04:51
Speaker
a Chelsea or a City because Chelsea have got their own problems to deal with right now in terms of like you know the amount of players that they have at City he's not going to really get a great game at City I don't think when you've got Doku there you've got Alvarez there you know what I mean and you've got players that can you've got Grealish there you've got Bernardo who can play on that side as well unless do you think the City are preparing for some sort of financial fair play selling Phil Foden for like 80 to 90 million that's cheap and he replaces Foden
01:05:20
Speaker
That's cheap, by the way.
01:05:21
Speaker
Because obviously if they sell Foden for like 90, 100, 110, whatever.
01:05:24
Speaker
Because I'm just thinking realistically who's going to buy him?
01:05:26
Speaker
The top clubs are going to pay, let's say, three figures.
01:05:28
Speaker
Obviously, it's not three figures.
01:05:29
Speaker
It's like eight figures.
01:05:31
Speaker
But let's say 100 free figures.
01:05:33
Speaker
Everything's speaking in the million terms.
01:05:35
Speaker
Who's going to really be able to afford Phil Foden?
01:05:38
Speaker
And who's going to pay 100 million for Phil Foden to afford him?
01:05:40
Speaker
So for that reason, I think they'll probably reduce it to like 80 so they can have 80 million profits.
01:05:46
Speaker
Not that they need it because they won everything last year, but just in case there's something there that's not being made public yet.
01:05:51
Speaker
Because Guardiola does this, doesn't he?
01:05:54
Speaker
He gets an eye on a player and he buys it when you think, why would you go to City?
01:05:57
Speaker
There's no way for you to play.
01:05:59
Speaker
And then next season, you are the main guy.
01:06:01
Speaker
Unless you're Calvin Phillips and you just don't know what you're doing.
01:06:03
Speaker
He was just shit, though.
01:06:04
Speaker
He was just shit.
01:06:05
Speaker
So he can't blame Pep for that one because it turned out really bad.
01:06:09
Speaker
But I think with City, obviously, their CEO left, didn't he?
01:06:12
Speaker
He went to Man United.
01:06:12
Speaker
He jumped ship.
01:06:13
Speaker
So I don't know.
01:06:14
Speaker
I mean, look at that.
01:06:15
Speaker
That kind of tells a bit of its own story because, you know, why would you leave the team that's literally won the treble?
01:06:22
Speaker
They're about to win probably another league.
01:06:24
Speaker
Well, we say the treble.
01:06:25
Speaker
They've probably won everything because they won the Europa, the Super Cups, the World World Cups.
01:06:29
Speaker
Sorry, yeah.
01:06:30
Speaker
That's right, yeah.
01:06:31
Speaker
They actually have, yeah.
01:06:32
Speaker
What is it?
01:06:34
Speaker
The quintuplets?
01:06:36
Speaker
I don't even know what the fuck it is.
01:06:37
Speaker
It's probably five.
01:06:38
Speaker
Whatever the word for five is.
01:06:39
Speaker
Whatever the word for five is.
01:06:41
Speaker
That's what I was trying to find, but no, quintuplets, that's...
01:06:45
Speaker
But at the end of the time, I've got a little question for you to do a little ranking in order.
01:06:49
Speaker
So I heard this question the other day.
01:06:51
Speaker
Some of the lads were talking at work.
01:06:52
Speaker
They said, I think they heard it on Talkshake.
01:06:54
Speaker
But I thought like, oh, I'll ask Larry on how he orders one to five.
01:06:58
Speaker
I think it was one to five.
01:06:59
Speaker
Yeah, one to five, one to four, whichever way.
01:07:01
Speaker
But I'm going to give you some scenarios and then you can tell me what's like.
01:07:04
Speaker
Great one.
01:07:04
Speaker
But yeah.
01:07:05
Speaker
So, okay.
01:07:05
Speaker
So Palace for you then.
01:07:06
Speaker
Who else is on a Wednesday?
01:07:08
Speaker
And then we've got, well, this is Tuesday, by
Aston Villa vs. Newcastle Outcomes
01:07:10
Speaker
the way.
01:07:10
Speaker
So, the last game of the day is Aston Villa versus Newcastle at Villa Park.
01:07:17
Speaker
What do you think?
01:07:19
Speaker
Oof.
01:07:21
Speaker
Oof.
01:07:21
Speaker
I'm hoping Villa goes strong.
01:07:23
Speaker
I want Villa, to be fair.
01:07:25
Speaker
I think Villa... I'll take that L. I don't know.
01:07:29
Speaker
I just, I don't know.
01:07:30
Speaker
I'm thinking I want Villa, but then again, do I want Villa to win?
01:07:32
Speaker
Because they're going to play Chelsea in the FA Cup, and I don't really want them to be in a high.
01:07:38
Speaker
Okay, obviously what I want doesn't matter.
01:07:39
Speaker
I think Villa will win.
01:07:41
Speaker
I think Villa are going to win.
01:07:42
Speaker
It's going to be a big game.
01:07:43
Speaker
I think it's going to be a high-scoring game.
01:07:44
Speaker
For some reason, I can see this being a 4-2 and I can see Villa scoring all four goals.
01:07:49
Speaker
I think Ezek will score goals, so I think I'm going to go 4-2 Villa.
01:07:52
Speaker
4-2 Villa?
01:07:54
Speaker
That's madness.
01:07:57
Speaker
I think they're going to take the L. I think they're going to take the L.
01:08:03
Speaker
2-2.
01:08:03
Speaker
Put me down for a 2-2.
01:08:03
Speaker
4-2.
01:08:03
Speaker
Put you down for a 2-2.
01:08:05
Speaker
Because Watkins isn't really fiery at the minute.
01:08:08
Speaker
So yeah, but put me down for a 2-2.
01:08:10
Speaker
2-2.
01:08:10
Speaker
Okay.
01:08:11
Speaker
I was going to say 3-1 Newcastle, to be honest with you.
01:08:13
Speaker
Really?
01:08:14
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know.
01:08:15
Speaker
I don't know.
01:08:15
Speaker
I think because Newcastle, they've been well-rested.
01:08:19
Speaker
very well rested to villa so that's that may have something to do with it again we're talking about professional footballers so chances are that none of this matters anyway this well rested or not unless they're playing the day after you know a couple of days in between that's what these guys are conditioned to do so yeah maybe maybe that's probably the wrong thing to to bring up in a conversation but i don't know i think newcastle they've had that rest they've had time to build for this match
01:08:43
Speaker
They've had time to look forward to this match.
01:08:45
Speaker
So, yeah, I think for that reason, I think I'll put myself down for a 3-1.
01:08:48
Speaker
You paid myself down for a 3-1.
01:08:50
Speaker
Love that.
01:08:50
Speaker
3-1.
01:08:50
Speaker
I think Isak may get a double.
01:08:53
Speaker
Unfortunately, Anthony Gordon, as much as I don't care for him, he'll probably score as well.
01:08:56
Speaker
But there you go.
01:08:57
Speaker
He's quality, though, isn't he?
01:08:58
Speaker
Isak, we say this in every episode.
01:09:00
Speaker
Isak, yeah.
Chelsea's Financial Fair Play Challenges
01:09:01
Speaker
He is quality.
01:09:01
Speaker
Because speaking of Newcastle quickly, they're trying to offer Callum Wilson to Chelsea because they know Chelsea need a striker.
01:09:06
Speaker
They're like, oh, you know, buy Callum Wilson so that they can be their financial fair play.
01:09:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:10
Speaker
Again, you're trying to get shafted, bro.
01:09:12
Speaker
You're trying to shaft you up again.
01:09:13
Speaker
Exactly.
01:09:14
Speaker
He's better than what we've got, though, mate.
01:09:16
Speaker
But it depends on what price.
01:09:17
Speaker
Is Callum Wilson going to cost 50 million?
01:09:19
Speaker
Let's be realistic.
01:09:20
Speaker
Injury prone as well?
01:09:22
Speaker
Yeah, injury prone.
01:09:24
Speaker
They'll want as much as they can to kind of balance the books.
01:09:27
Speaker
But we need to stay away from that.
01:09:29
Speaker
What we need to come back is with a counteroffer and say, give you 80 million for Isak.
01:09:33
Speaker
How's that grab you?
01:09:34
Speaker
And then really test the waters with that and see how much are they willing to sell Isak.
01:09:39
Speaker
Obviously, I don't know.
01:09:40
Speaker
I mean, I don't know about Chelsea's finances, but obviously they're probably toeing the line of FFP as well.
01:09:46
Speaker
We are past the line.
01:09:48
Speaker
The line is a dot to you.
01:09:49
Speaker
Exactly.
01:09:50
Speaker
The line is a dot to you.
01:09:51
Speaker
That's what Todd can see.
01:09:52
Speaker
That's why there's rumors of selling Conor Gallagher and Armando Breuer.
01:09:56
Speaker
That's probably the best thing that you guys can do.
01:10:00
Speaker
Probably.
01:10:00
Speaker
But again, who's going to buy them for a decent price?
01:10:02
Speaker
We probably need to generate around 90 million.
01:10:04
Speaker
Can we sell them both for 45?
01:10:06
Speaker
Or can we sell one for 50 and the other one for 30?
01:10:08
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
01:10:09
Speaker
Who's dumb enough to spend the money?
01:10:11
Speaker
You could probably make a case for Gallagher going at 45 million, but there's absolutely no way that Amanda Breuer... Gallagher is a 70.
01:10:18
Speaker
Gallagher is a 60, 70.
01:10:19
Speaker
That's what they're holding out for because that's what they're trying to do because Breuer is not going to be that high.
01:10:24
Speaker
We rejected an offer.
01:10:25
Speaker
Rumor was today we rejected an offer from an unnamed Premier League club because Chelsea are holding out for 35 million for Breuer.
01:10:31
Speaker
For Breuer?
01:10:33
Speaker
Nah.
01:10:33
Speaker
Keep him.
01:10:34
Speaker
Keep him.
01:10:35
Speaker
Let him warm your bench.
01:10:36
Speaker
Because we need to make sure that we meet financial fair players.
01:10:39
Speaker
If he warms your bench right, that means that you don't spend that much on heating.
01:10:42
Speaker
So technically, he'll be saving a bit of money as well.
01:10:45
Speaker
Yeah, especially with... There you go.
01:10:47
Speaker
There you go.
01:10:48
Speaker
That's why I didn't become a financial advisor.
01:10:50
Speaker
But... Okay, that's fine.
01:10:53
Speaker
So next day, Wednesday, we've got first game of the night.
01:10:56
Speaker
Man City Burnley.
01:10:59
Speaker
Sorry, I don't even know why I asked that.
01:11:01
Speaker
Should we just move on from that one?
01:11:02
Speaker
Do you want to answer it?
01:11:03
Speaker
Go on, you go first on this one.
01:11:05
Speaker
What are you going to say?
01:11:06
Speaker
I think... I think... I'm going to keep it short and sweet after you.
01:11:09
Speaker
I think City are going to fucking kill them.
01:11:13
Speaker
And I think it's going to be 4-5-0.
01:11:15
Speaker
Like, I'm going to go 4-0.
01:11:16
Speaker
Fuck it.
01:11:18
Speaker
Yeah, I think 4-0 as well.
01:11:19
Speaker
You've got to be ruthless against them just to be like, yeah, we are here and we will win the league again.
01:11:25
Speaker
And I think this match, probably Kevin De Bruyne will start.
01:11:29
Speaker
And if he starts game over already, he might as well just end the game.
01:11:32
Speaker
Just forfeit, give him the 3-0 and then you won't be embarrassed.
01:11:35
Speaker
So, yeah, moving on.
01:11:37
Speaker
Tottenham-Brenford, London derby, another one in the long, long line of London derbies.
Ivan Toney's Return and Media Portrayal
01:11:43
Speaker
London derbies, yeah, it's crazy.
01:11:49
Speaker
But I think Spurs will win.
01:11:51
Speaker
I think Spurs will beat him.
01:11:52
Speaker
I think Ivan Tone is obviously a fairytale heroic return for some stupid reason.
01:11:57
Speaker
The way Sky Sports made it seem like as if he'd just come back from the war, not for the fact that he broke the rules and he got banned.
01:12:02
Speaker
It was like as if he'd literally just left MI6, retired James Bond, saved the world, but returned water to some countries in Africa and Far East Asia.
01:12:11
Speaker
And all of a sudden now he's back from doing something.
01:12:13
Speaker
Good Samaritan work.
01:12:14
Speaker
Ivan Jesus.
01:12:15
Speaker
Literally that guy.
01:12:18
Speaker
Ivan Teresa.
01:12:18
Speaker
That's what I was going with.
01:12:19
Speaker
Ivan Teresa in my head, but you beat me with Ivan Jesus.
01:12:22
Speaker
I don't think he'll do anything, to be fair with you.
01:12:27
Speaker
I feel like I've got a sour taste for Ivan Jesus simply because of Berenford wanting 100 million.
01:12:33
Speaker
It's not his fault, is it?
01:12:34
Speaker
It's not really his fault, but it's not his fault.
01:12:36
Speaker
You hear his name and you think, eh, simply because of the 100 million asking price.
01:12:42
Speaker
But anyway, without getting sidetracked, yeah, I think Spurs will win.
01:12:46
Speaker
I'm hoping Spurs will win because I just don't feel for Brentford.
01:12:49
Speaker
I hope 3-1 Spurs.
01:12:51
Speaker
See, I don't know how to... I'm feeling the same way, like, you know, how you feel about Ivan Toney.
01:12:56
Speaker
I feel about Spurs.
01:12:56
Speaker
I'm like, right, my head says that Spurs will win, but my heart wants Brentford to fucking kill them.
01:13:05
Speaker
So I'm just going to meet somewhere in the middle and I'm going to... Fuck it.
01:13:10
Speaker
Look...
01:13:11
Speaker
We've talked about these predictions and the way that we predict them.
01:13:13
Speaker
They have to be realistic, not what we want.
01:13:16
Speaker
So I'm going to go with the Tottenham win.
01:13:18
Speaker
I think maybe 1-0 Tottenham.
01:13:20
Speaker
I don't think they're going to score more than that, to be honest.
01:13:24
Speaker
Unless Werner obviously decides to make this one of those games where he scores and then he doesn't score for another 20.
01:13:29
Speaker
Yes, justifies his price in one game and then all of a sudden he's like, eh, I'm not going to play and then you're like, bro, you can't do just in one game.
01:13:36
Speaker
Please, please carry on because when someone comes back, you ain't playing no more, bro.
01:13:40
Speaker
I don't think he'll get in the game yet.
01:13:42
Speaker
But yeah, I think Tottenham are going to win as much.
01:13:44
Speaker
I don't think Brentford are a weak team by any means, but I just feel like maybe Ange could, he's probably, you know, he's probably sort of, you know,
01:13:53
Speaker
got it into them that this is the way I need you to play and if Brentford go out attacking then Tottenham will will annihilate them will absolutely annihilate them and that's what I think will happen I think they'll try and attack and obviously Tottenham need need a response especially losing to City in the way that they did defended for so long and like it was in a way that they did they deserved to lose because they offered nothing as you read this yes they offered nothing yeah yeah
01:14:15
Speaker
But yeah, no, I think I'm with you.
01:14:17
Speaker
I think Spurs will win, but I think it'll be more of a 3-1 rather than a 1-0.
01:14:20
Speaker
Yeah, I can see that.
01:14:21
Speaker
I can definitely see that as well, to be honest.
01:14:23
Speaker
But I'm just thinking maybe Thomas Frank, he's not going to be stupid enough to go out all attacking.
01:14:29
Speaker
But there you go.
01:14:29
Speaker
I mean, Kulusevski on the break, Bentancur, you've got Werner, who's a fast player, Richaldison's a fast player.
01:14:34
Speaker
So, you know, they have players to hurt you.
01:14:37
Speaker
That is, by the way, just for the listener, that is, you know, I will say that about Spurs because that is the truth.
01:14:42
Speaker
However, the way that they play are absolute trash, garbage shit.
01:14:47
Speaker
But anyways, moving on.
01:14:48
Speaker
And last game of the day, Liverpool, Chelsea at Anfield.
Liverpool vs. Chelsea Match Preview
01:14:53
Speaker
Rick, should I take this one first?
01:14:55
Speaker
Take, go first.
01:14:56
Speaker
Should I take first?
01:14:57
Speaker
Okay, I think I'm going to take it first.
01:15:00
Speaker
Okay.
01:15:01
Speaker
Now, the way I look at this is,
01:15:04
Speaker
I can see, like my head says Liverpool are going to win.
01:15:11
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:13
Speaker
Because I'll tell you.
01:15:14
Speaker
No, but I'm sorry.
01:15:15
Speaker
No, I'm saying like Liverpool are going to win, but I've got a funny feeling that you will win the final, like the Carabao Cup.
01:15:21
Speaker
I don't know what it is.
01:15:22
Speaker
I've got a funny feeling as good as Liverpool are and can be,
01:15:27
Speaker
I just feel like the final, I don't think Klopp will win it.
01:15:30
Speaker
I think he'll probably be one of those things where it's like, ah, you came close to winning this on your last season, but you didn't do it.
01:15:35
Speaker
And I don't know, but Chelsea are going to win that final.
01:15:37
Speaker
But this match, unfortunately, Liverpool will win.
01:15:41
Speaker
And I'm going to go with... I'm going to go with a fucking...
01:15:47
Speaker
I don't know, like a 3-1, 4-1, something like that.
01:15:49
Speaker
Do you know what?
01:15:50
Speaker
I'm going to make it 3-2.
01:15:50
Speaker
I'll make it 3-2.
01:15:51
Speaker
I'll be nice to you.
01:15:53
Speaker
Oh, wow.
01:15:53
Speaker
I can't see you scoring 3-2, to be fair.
01:15:56
Speaker
I'm with you in the terms of Liverpool really being the favourites to win it.
01:16:00
Speaker
I think it's a draw.
01:16:01
Speaker
The only reason I think it's a draw is... It's not bad.
01:16:05
Speaker
And that's a great result for us.
01:16:06
Speaker
But I was hoping this would be on a Sunday or a Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock where the fans are there, the cameras are not there, but on a Wednesday night under the lights at Anfield,
01:16:16
Speaker
Against Chelsea, there's that little sort of a recent rival reason, there's the Mourinho, Benitez.
01:16:21
Speaker
So it kind of has the feel of a Champions League night, effectively, being on a Wednesday night.
01:16:26
Speaker
So it's going to be tough for us.
01:16:28
Speaker
One thing is Sobisla is probably still injured, I think.
01:16:31
Speaker
I don't know if he's returning.
01:16:33
Speaker
Trent is out.
01:16:34
Speaker
Yeah, Trent's out.
01:16:34
Speaker
Salah's out.
01:16:35
Speaker
And if Trent is out, Salah's out.
01:16:36
Speaker
Don't get me wrong, they've still got Diaz, Nunes, Jota.
01:16:39
Speaker
I think Diaz may be off as well because I think he just had a kid, if I'm not mistaken.
01:16:43
Speaker
That sounds amazing.
01:16:44
Speaker
I wish him all the very best.
01:16:45
Speaker
Yes.
01:16:46
Speaker
He can take care of the kid.
01:16:48
Speaker
Stay out there, bro.
01:16:49
Speaker
I'm sure you're feeling the same when you play Liverpool the week off.
01:16:53
Speaker
Absolutely.
01:16:54
Speaker
So, yeah, stay out there, kid.
01:16:55
Speaker
Absolutely.
01:16:56
Speaker
But moving on to our thinking, I think it'll be a draw.
01:16:59
Speaker
I think it'll be a draw.
01:16:59
Speaker
I think we'll go toe-to-toe with them simply because their midfield is weak and I think that's where we will try and exploit it.
01:17:06
Speaker
But everywhere else they're strong.
01:17:07
Speaker
But Sterling against the new kid, if Sterling plays on the left back, come on, I'm expecting Sterling to torture Bradley.
01:17:14
Speaker
I think his name was Bradley.
01:17:15
Speaker
Yes.
01:17:16
Speaker
I'm expecting him to touch.
01:17:18
Speaker
Then what do you do?
01:17:19
Speaker
Because we don't have anybody else in the box.
01:17:21
Speaker
Then what do you offer?
01:17:21
Speaker
Then where do you go from there?
01:17:23
Speaker
So it's tricky, but maybe a set piece will get a goal from a set piece or something and then just really close up shop to try.
01:17:29
Speaker
Because if Liverpool score first, then it could be the floodgates opening.
01:17:33
Speaker
We could really see a Man United against Liverpool.
01:17:35
Speaker
I don't think it's going to be like that.
01:17:38
Speaker
The last... Right, so here's something interesting.
01:17:40
Speaker
So the last eight meetings between Liverpool and Chelsea...
01:17:46
Speaker
1-1 0-0 0-1 so that's to Liverpool they won on penalties 0-1 to Liverpool they won on penalties both wins for Liverpool so far have been at Stamford Bridge right before that 2-2 1-1 0-1 that 0-1 was Chelsea winning against Liverpool at Anfield so that was 2021 and
01:18:11
Speaker
Let's not go before that because it's not good reading for you.
01:18:16
Speaker
But so my point being this like it's got draw written.
01:18:21
Speaker
It's got a draw written all over it.
01:18:23
Speaker
But I thought three two.
01:18:25
Speaker
I mean, after after reading that, I probably I probably swear a little bit more to what Chelsea but I'm going to go three to Liverpool.
01:18:30
Speaker
I'll stick with those still sticking to Liverpool three to that.
01:18:33
Speaker
I can see it.
01:18:34
Speaker
It's players like Jota that really scare me, really, really scare me.
01:18:37
Speaker
And we're still we're still defensively.
01:18:39
Speaker
We're a young defensive team.
01:18:41
Speaker
in terms of Thiago's obviously got the experience but the rest of them are just like young millionaires and I just really don't think their heart is in the right place yet for Chelsea and we've touched on it last time you know eight year contracts you make 100 grand a week every week for the next eight years come on I've got no reason to play your life is sorted for the you know your life your grandma's life your auntie's life your cousin's life that person that you thought you knew the next four generations are sorted are all sorted exactly so
01:19:05
Speaker
It's interesting, but I'm looking
Chelsea's Defensive Strategy
01:19:07
Speaker
forward to it.
01:19:07
Speaker
I'm hoping to have a decent performance like we did against the big boys.
01:19:10
Speaker
You, City, Spurs, Arsenal.
01:19:13
Speaker
Well, Arsenal is you, but yeah, Liverpool as well, especially that first game of the season.
01:19:17
Speaker
The one thing that's kind of given me a bit of confidence, no Salah, no Schauber-Sly in the middle.
01:19:23
Speaker
Hopefully 38 and Jonesy can play.
01:19:25
Speaker
And no Trent.
01:19:28
Speaker
Trent with the passes is a killer passes.
01:19:30
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
01:19:31
Speaker
I agree with you.
01:19:32
Speaker
He's incredible.
01:19:33
Speaker
But we've got our own problems as well because how would I start that?
01:19:36
Speaker
That's keep the same back four that started against Aston Villa, to be honest with you.
01:19:39
Speaker
Badish Shield, although he didn't offer much going forward, he was pretty defensive.
01:19:43
Speaker
He was pretty solid at the back until he got moved into centre defence.
01:19:47
Speaker
And all of a sudden, he was just like, mistake.
01:19:51
Speaker
I don't know.
01:19:52
Speaker
He couldn't seem to sort his feet out.
01:19:55
Speaker
So it's interesting to see what line-up he picks because he's going to pick up the freshest as possible line-up.
01:20:01
Speaker
So maybe Chilwell will start, maybe Mudrick will start.
01:20:05
Speaker
Maybe he can get a Breuer in there, I'll be honest with you.
01:20:06
Speaker
I think maybe you'll... I know obviously, well, you've got no one else really, so maybe Breuer starting could be a good thing because, again, he's going to go up against Kanata and Van Dijk.
01:20:15
Speaker
That's it, that's it.
01:20:16
Speaker
We need somebody to pick up.
01:20:17
Speaker
Two monster defenders.
01:20:19
Speaker
And you hope that he's just going to be up for the challenge.
01:20:22
Speaker
Yeah, I hope he's going to take the occasion.
01:20:25
Speaker
Yeah, that's the word.
01:20:27
Speaker
Rise to the occasion.
01:20:29
Speaker
And send a message.
01:20:30
Speaker
You're trying to sell me?
01:20:31
Speaker
Don't sell me.
01:20:32
Speaker
I'm Chelsea through and through.
01:20:33
Speaker
This is what I can do.
01:20:34
Speaker
But you need to show that because at the end of the day, we're in a results business.
01:20:37
Speaker
And if you're not scoring and performing,
01:20:39
Speaker
Here's a dog.
01:20:40
Speaker
It means absolutely nothing.
01:20:42
Speaker
So for me, yeah, 1-1.
01:20:44
Speaker
The result is 1-1 or 0-0.
01:20:46
Speaker
That's fair.
01:20:46
Speaker
I think it's going to be a bar 0-0.
01:20:48
Speaker
I'll be honest with you.
01:20:49
Speaker
It's got the hype to be like, oh, what a game.
01:20:51
Speaker
I think it's going to be a bar 0-0.
01:20:52
Speaker
But I'm going to go for a 1-1.
01:20:54
Speaker
I'm saying 3-2 because 2-2 for the majority of the game and then fucking Jota will score right at the end.
01:21:02
Speaker
I'm calling that because he's playing against my team.
01:21:05
Speaker
It's too good.
01:21:06
Speaker
If you haven't been following the podcast, we really rate Diogo Jota.
01:21:12
Speaker
And then on Thursday, we've got West Ham-Bourmouth.
01:21:13
Speaker
What are we thinking?
01:21:15
Speaker
Do some quickfire ones?
01:21:16
Speaker
Quickfire ones, West Ham-Bourmouth, West Ham 2-1.
01:21:20
Speaker
West Ham 2-1.
01:21:21
Speaker
I'm going to go with... I'm going to go 2-0 West Ham on that one.
01:21:26
Speaker
And then we've got Wolves, Man United at Wolves.
01:21:29
Speaker
Man United are getting beat at Wolves.
01:21:31
Speaker
2-1 Wolves.
01:21:32
Speaker
You read my mind.
01:21:33
Speaker
You read my mind.
01:21:34
Speaker
I'm going to... O'Neill's beating Eric.
01:21:38
Speaker
Oh, Neal's very in Eric.
01:21:39
Speaker
I love it.
01:21:40
Speaker
Gary versus Eric.
01:21:42
Speaker
I'm going to go with Gary's.
01:21:44
Speaker
We're going to go with Gary's on this.
01:21:45
Speaker
Yeah.
01:21:46
Speaker
Yeah, I think Wolves, I'm going to say 1-0 to Wolves.
01:21:50
Speaker
It's going to be a tight game, but I think they'll steal it right at the end.
01:21:54
Speaker
But yeah, look, Rick, predictions.
01:21:56
Speaker
We got through them.
01:21:57
Speaker
We got through some predictions, and hopefully we'll be back on Friday.
01:22:04
Speaker
or maybe even Thursday evening.
01:22:06
Speaker
We could do Thursday evening.
01:22:07
Speaker
Thursday evening because... We can't predict for the weekend because there's a huge game on the weekend.
01:22:11
Speaker
It's Arsenal, Liverpool.
01:22:13
Speaker
Liverpool, yeah.
01:22:14
Speaker
So it should be an interesting game for you guys.
01:22:17
Speaker
So here's the scenarios, right?
01:22:19
Speaker
Go on, hit me with some scenarios.
01:22:20
Speaker
Before we go, because I'm cautious of the time as well.
01:22:22
Speaker
Do it, do it.
01:22:22
Speaker
And I want you to rank them.
01:22:24
Speaker
In your mind, what is the best?
01:22:26
Speaker
Like, wow.
01:22:27
Speaker
My team to be able to do that.
01:22:29
Speaker
So I'm going to go with the first one because your team's already done it.
01:22:32
Speaker
So going unbeaten.
01:22:32
Speaker
So the invincible.
01:22:36
Speaker
The next one is two teams have done it, obviously the treble, City and United Liverpool could do it this year, the quadruple winning Carabao, FA, Premier League and Europa League, so obviously not the Champions League but the Europa League City could also do it this year, which is win four in a row, so four Premier Leagues in a row
01:23:01
Speaker
So, so far we've got four
Arsenal's Invincible Season Debate
01:23:02
Speaker
things, yeah?
01:23:02
Speaker
So, invincible, no particular order.
01:23:04
Speaker
I want you to rank them like what you think is like really good achievement for a team.
01:23:08
Speaker
Okay.
01:23:09
Speaker
Yeah, so invincible, four in a row, quadruple, treble, or the alternative.
01:23:15
Speaker
I'm just going to throw something in there for Chelsea because there was nothing in there for Chelsea.
01:23:17
Speaker
That season when Mourinho took over, we conceded 14 goals all season.
01:23:23
Speaker
I'm going to put that one last.
01:23:26
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:23:27
Speaker
Yeah.
01:23:29
Speaker
winning the treble because two teams have done it i'm gonna put that i'm gonna put that second not second to last second i mean oh second okay so we've got first and second already done first what's first i think first um
01:23:44
Speaker
Look, I'll be honest.
01:23:45
Speaker
First, it has to be the invincible season.
01:23:47
Speaker
No, behave.
01:23:49
Speaker
I think, I think, I think, I think, listen, listen, listen, listen.
01:23:53
Speaker
My point is right.
01:23:54
Speaker
My point is that again, when you look, when you look at City in like a Carabao Cup, for example, and they've won it fucking 17 times or some shit.
01:24:02
Speaker
I just don't think that's a very good achievement.
01:24:04
Speaker
And the fact that two teams have won the treble already.
01:24:06
Speaker
And again, that's not to say that they won't.
01:24:09
Speaker
City is one of those two teams overall.
01:24:11
Speaker
United and City are the only two teams to have done it.
01:24:14
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
01:24:15
Speaker
I agree.
01:24:16
Speaker
That's why I would put the Invincible season first because we went a whole season without losing a match in the Premier League.
01:24:27
Speaker
in the Premier League without losing a match.
01:24:29
Speaker
Can you just, can you fathom that for a second, please?
01:24:33
Speaker
Your team, your team conceded 14 goals when Mourinho took over, right?
01:24:36
Speaker
And you lost what?
01:24:38
Speaker
You lost one or two matches?
01:24:39
Speaker
I think we lost two matches, yeah.
01:24:40
Speaker
You lost two matches, right?
01:24:41
Speaker
So again, you were close.
01:24:43
Speaker
Points that year.
01:24:43
Speaker
I think we won more matches than obviously you guys.
01:24:47
Speaker
I get it.
01:24:47
Speaker
I get it.
01:24:48
Speaker
I get it.
01:24:48
Speaker
I know what you're going to say.
01:24:49
Speaker
I know what you're going to say.
01:24:51
Speaker
26 wins, 12 draws.
01:24:52
Speaker
I get it.
01:24:52
Speaker
But we didn't lose a single fucking match.
01:24:55
Speaker
Not a single match was lost that Premier League season.
01:24:58
Speaker
So I have to put that first because there is no other team that will ever achieve that in the Premier League.
01:25:04
Speaker
I don't care how good City are and the fact that the City have been that good and they've won that many Premier Leagues...
01:25:09
Speaker
in the last 10 years and Chelsea were that good and won that many Premier Leagues in that many years I just don't think a team is going to come close to that that's why I put it first not because they're my team that helps obviously but that's why the Invincible season has to be first because there is no other thing that's going to achieve that and that is a fucking great achievement in itself yeah do you see what do you see my point like am I making a good point I see your point but I think the Invincible season has been like kind of over glorified
01:25:38
Speaker
reason I say that is because you didn't win the Champions League so we've been invincible in the season you're talking Premier League though no no I'm talking like Premier League but obviously the quadruple and treble winning for me the treble winning is for me is the number one I agree with you Chelsea 14 goals defensive record blah blah blah is definitely last because yes okay it was a defensive record I think Liverpool could possibly do it City could do it it could easily be done
01:26:03
Speaker
After Chelsea 4th, I do think it's the invincible season.
01:26:07
Speaker
I think winning the trophies, especially the treble, the Premier League and the Champions League, that goes first.
01:26:13
Speaker
Four in a row for City.
01:26:14
Speaker
I'm debating whether it's second or third.
01:26:16
Speaker
That goes second to last, to be honest.
01:26:19
Speaker
I'm just thinking in terms of achievement because City have won that many leagues so far.
01:26:25
Speaker
You know what I mean?
01:26:26
Speaker
for me it's incredible how they can win it again because you think about it like Fergie won it twice in a row Chelsea won it twice in a row with the Mourinho I think Arsenal may have won it twice in a row squad depth teams adapt very quickly to how you play it's that but it's Guardiola it's not even squad depth I think it's Guardiola because it's more or less the same 11 playing every time not really I mean no but he's got squad depth as in like he will change players around and they will just slot into that position like I understand I get it but I'm saying it's squad depth like if
01:26:55
Speaker
if Pep Guardiola was at Chelsea, for example, I'm pretty sure he would have won that many Premier Leagues.
01:27:00
Speaker
I don't care about money-wise or whatever.
01:27:02
Speaker
Do you see what I'm saying?
01:27:03
Speaker
Yeah, but that's what I mean.
01:27:04
Speaker
There's no way Pep Guardiola, as good as he has been throughout his career, there's no way that he's going to go a whole season unbeaten.
01:27:10
Speaker
Do you see what I'm saying?
01:27:11
Speaker
I hear what you're saying, but just being unbeaten is not really enough because you could go unbeaten.
01:27:14
Speaker
They won the Premier League.
01:27:15
Speaker
They won the gold trophy.
01:27:17
Speaker
And the only team to win a gold trophy, by the way.
01:27:19
Speaker
Let's just be honest about that.
01:27:20
Speaker
But I understand what you're saying.
01:27:22
Speaker
For me, it's very much more like of a publicity stunt.
01:27:24
Speaker
It's like,
01:27:25
Speaker
Oh, it was the Concorde.
01:27:26
Speaker
And I get what the Concorde did and then it's subbed and it's never been achieved again.
01:27:30
Speaker
But everybody else can go as fast as that.
01:27:32
Speaker
Okay, not in a commercial airline, but Jets are going as fast as that sort of thing.
01:27:36
Speaker
Yeah, but we're talking commercial airlines.
01:27:37
Speaker
That's not the same league.
01:27:38
Speaker
That's not the same category, though, is it?
01:27:41
Speaker
For me, it's not that great.
01:27:43
Speaker
It's great, don't get me wrong, and I'm not shitting it.
01:27:45
Speaker
It is great, but it definitely is not the best.
01:27:49
Speaker
Until another team achieve that, I don't think that will be beaten.
01:27:52
Speaker
And that's why...
01:27:54
Speaker
because of the question that you asked and that's why that's why i will put that first because and this is the thing you'll never be beaten because of the phrase the phrase is invincible so you can go unbeaten and then there's no way to kind of like once you measure which unbeaten season was better then obviously you got draws or wins etc yeah no that's fine that's like if city if city went 32 games like winning and then they only drew what six games they yeah obviously that would be a fucking better achievement than what arsenal did
01:28:21
Speaker
But until that moment where a team can go a whole season unbeaten, the fact that they fought every single one of those 12 draws, they fought to the very end.
01:28:31
Speaker
Because I watched the majority of those matches.
01:28:35
Speaker
Do you know what I'm saying?
01:28:36
Speaker
That's why I think so.
01:28:37
Speaker
It's not treble winning, bro.
01:28:39
Speaker
Treble winning is something different.
01:28:41
Speaker
Two teams have done it, though.
01:28:42
Speaker
So it's very achievable.
01:28:44
Speaker
It's very achievable.
01:28:45
Speaker
Do you see what I'm saying?
01:28:46
Speaker
Liverpool had a chance to win a quadruple.
01:28:48
Speaker
I don't think anybody else has done it.
01:28:51
Speaker
Look, that's why I go back to what I said about City.
01:28:53
Speaker
It's squad depth.
01:28:54
Speaker
That's why they have the ability to do that because they can put in the players to slot in those positions.
01:28:59
Speaker
And Liverpool team... You guys had a squad depth, didn't you?
01:29:01
Speaker
Like out of everybody else back then, you guys had a squad depth in that season that you went unbeaten.
01:29:06
Speaker
You had a pretty decent squad.
01:29:08
Speaker
Pretty big enough squad.
01:29:09
Speaker
Oscar Sigan.
01:29:10
Speaker
Well, fair enough.
01:29:11
Speaker
But if you're going to pick out individual players like fucking Bob for City, for example.
01:29:16
Speaker
Hey, Bob's been fucking scoring, mate.
01:29:17
Speaker
I don't know what you're talking about.
01:29:19
Speaker
Oscar Bob's been scoring for him.
01:29:22
Speaker
So I think I think I think I think we'll forever agree to disagree on this one because maybe it's a different thing.
01:29:27
Speaker
Listen, I'm not shitting it.
01:29:28
Speaker
What you guys that unbeaten season is incredible and it's incredible to have the goal trophy, like you say.
01:29:33
Speaker
But for me personally, again, is Champions League number one, first of all, like obviously the creme de la creme of trophies.
01:29:40
Speaker
OK, Premier League is tougher because you've got to be consistent for 38 games.
01:29:44
Speaker
Champions League, you've got to be consistent for six and then it's knockout football.
01:29:47
Speaker
You can probably fire yourself up for that.
01:29:49
Speaker
But to be able to win the league,
01:29:51
Speaker
the champions league and the fa cup and i hear we said two teams have done it chelsea were close to doing it with a with a domestic double rather than the league we didn't win and so on but the treble it just seems incredible for me personally for me it's always the treble it's always been like to try and win more trophies
01:30:07
Speaker
I hear what you're saying, it won't probably be beaten again in our lifetime.
01:30:11
Speaker
The way things are going now, teams are always scrapping for 1-0 and you end up losing.
01:30:14
Speaker
Liverpool did it with Watford, lost 3-0.
01:30:17
Speaker
And then Arsenal messaged them on Twitter saying, thank you Watford and then smashed them next week.
01:30:22
Speaker
I think it was like 4-1 or 4-something else.
01:30:24
Speaker
And that was Liverpool's only loss, I think, that year when they won the title.
01:30:30
Speaker
It was one loss.
01:30:32
Speaker
One loss and that was against Watford.
01:30:34
Speaker
Because they came very close.
01:30:35
Speaker
They came so close to being, what's it called?
01:30:39
Speaker
Invincible.
01:30:39
Speaker
But yeah, out of those four scenarios, for me, it's fourth best.
01:30:44
Speaker
fourth best being invincible like winning trophies has got to be like the great personally but yeah we did win the trophy though we did win the trophy we won the premier league and the gold trophy no but that's fine no but that's fine but again we won that trophy three trophies we won that trophy without being beaten though that's that's that's what i'm saying like that is that in itself is a great achievement like do you see what i'm saying i think was it like did city win the trophy last year without being beaten in the champions league
01:31:10
Speaker
In the Champions League.
01:31:11
Speaker
In the Champions League.
01:31:12
Speaker
Because I think they won every game in the knockout stage.
01:31:16
Speaker
And then I think they drew.
01:31:17
Speaker
I don't know.
01:31:18
Speaker
Did they lose a game in the group stage?
01:31:20
Speaker
I don't know.
01:31:20
Speaker
I thought they lost to Leipzig or something.
01:31:21
Speaker
I just feel like if you win the Champions League in Invincible, it doesn't have the same effect as winning the league in Invincible.
01:31:27
Speaker
38 games, mate.
01:31:29
Speaker
38 games.
01:31:30
Speaker
But title is title.
01:31:31
Speaker
Invincible, Invincible.
01:31:33
Speaker
You know what I mean?
01:31:33
Speaker
It's one competition that you are invincible on.
01:31:36
Speaker
That's where I'm at.
01:31:37
Speaker
That's fair.
01:31:37
Speaker
I'm all for trophies.
01:31:39
Speaker
But listen, I'm not shitting about it.
01:31:41
Speaker
I'm not being petty.
01:31:43
Speaker
I think it's incredible what they've done.
01:31:46
Speaker
38 games without a single L. Now if you said quadruple, if you said quadruple, what would be then yeah obviously the quadruple would be the ultimate.
01:31:54
Speaker
The only reason I put Liverpool's... And you can't, you can't by the way, you can't.
01:31:57
Speaker
It's lowered that, it's simply because it's Europa League and not Champions League.
01:32:00
Speaker
You can't do it, yeah, that doesn't count.
01:32:01
Speaker
That doesn't count, I'm afraid.
01:32:03
Speaker
Sorry Liverpool fans, it doesn't.
01:32:05
Speaker
It just doesn't, that's it.
01:32:06
Speaker
It's not the same.
01:32:07
Speaker
They can win the treble.
01:32:08
Speaker
No, they can't win the treble.
01:32:09
Speaker
No, they can't.
01:32:09
Speaker
They can't win the treble.
01:32:10
Speaker
The only treble they can win is, again, domestic treble.
01:32:13
Speaker
Domestic treble, yeah.
01:32:14
Speaker
Domestic treble.
01:32:15
Speaker
It's not the same thing.
01:32:16
Speaker
The treble.
01:32:17
Speaker
I agree.
01:32:17
Speaker
I think, for me, personally, Invincible, the fact that you never lost in 38 fucking matches, you didn't actually lose, and then the treble.
01:32:24
Speaker
It's just, hey, look, don't get me wrong.
01:32:26
Speaker
Shit, I would love to win the Champions League.
01:32:28
Speaker
Let's not make any mistake about that, right?
01:32:31
Speaker
I would love to win the Champions League.
01:32:33
Speaker
100%.
01:32:33
Speaker
But I just feel like, with the treble, the fact that two teams have done it, if City hadn't done it, and...
01:32:39
Speaker
and Man United were the only ones, probably that could go first.
01:32:42
Speaker
But the fact that two teams have done it, that means that it's very doable.
01:32:46
Speaker
Very, very doable.
01:32:47
Speaker
Oh, it's doable.
01:32:47
Speaker
Anything is doable, but it's very difficult to be doable.
01:32:50
Speaker
That's the only thing.
01:32:51
Speaker
You've got to invest a lot and you've got to have the right manager.
01:32:53
Speaker
Because even like...
01:32:55
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:32:56
Speaker
Anything is doable in a sense of like the way I look at it.
01:32:58
Speaker
You could be invincible if it's doable, but it's very difficult to be invincible.
01:33:03
Speaker
And the level of difficulty, that's what I'm saying.
01:33:04
Speaker
It's a level of difficulty.
01:33:05
Speaker
It's increasing every year.
01:33:06
Speaker
And obviously, you know, Premier League is getting tougher and tougher.
01:33:09
Speaker
That's why I'm putting it first.
01:33:10
Speaker
That's why I'm putting it first.
01:33:12
Speaker
That's fine.
01:33:12
Speaker
That's fine.
01:33:13
Speaker
Look, fair enough.
01:33:14
Speaker
Going by the level of difficulty, surely City winning three and winning four Premier Leagues in the Bronx will be higher because the level will never happen again.
01:33:23
Speaker
If things are getting more difficult each year, Invincible may not happen, but then you surely... Anyway, we can talk about this.
01:33:31
Speaker
Not necessarily about it.
01:33:34
Speaker
Until the sun comes home or the cows come home, whatever that saying is.
01:33:37
Speaker
Because I'm just looking at the time.
01:33:40
Speaker
It's 1.30.
01:33:40
Speaker
This was meant to be a quick one.
01:33:42
Speaker
I don't understand how we keep doing this.
01:33:45
Speaker
Sorry, with City winning the fourth Premier League on the bounce or whatever it is, again, you have to take into account the other teams around them.
01:33:54
Speaker
Do you see what I'm saying?
01:33:55
Speaker
You have to take into account how well or how badly the other teams around them have performed.
01:34:00
Speaker
That's why I don't class that as like a major achievement.
01:34:03
Speaker
Shit, you won three in a row.
01:34:04
Speaker
All right, nice one.
01:34:05
Speaker
Fourth one.
01:34:06
Speaker
All right, mate.
01:34:06
Speaker
Sound.
01:34:07
Speaker
Do you see what I mean?
01:34:07
Speaker
It gives that.
01:34:08
Speaker
Yeah.
01:34:08
Speaker
It gives that vibe.
01:34:09
Speaker
It's like, okay, but the other teams around you, they've been just piss poor decision making in, in, in players that they brought in, in strategies that they've, that they've utilized in matches.
01:34:19
Speaker
Do you see what I'm saying?
01:34:20
Speaker
Like, I totally agree.
01:34:21
Speaker
That's why, that's why they haven't, they've not started it from start to finish.
01:34:25
Speaker
Like last year they were chasing you.
01:34:27
Speaker
This year, they're chasing Liverpool.
01:34:29
Speaker
Previously, I think they beat Liverpool by a point to the league.
01:34:32
Speaker
What was it, like 111 to 110 or wherever it was, like record high points.
01:34:36
Speaker
It's Guardiola, bro.
01:34:39
Speaker
Like all it is is Guardiola.
01:34:40
Speaker
It's Pep because once Guardiola leaves, it'll be same as it was for Arsenal, same as it was for Chelsea, Man United with Fergie, Chelsea with Abramovich, Arsene with Arsene.
01:34:49
Speaker
And, you know, it's going to be the same thing again because you get so used to that one type of manager.
01:34:54
Speaker
He just doesn't.
01:34:55
Speaker
We saw our Barca.
01:34:56
Speaker
He was our Barca.
01:34:56
Speaker
He did everything he did at Barca.
01:34:57
Speaker
Then Tito took over.
01:34:59
Speaker
God rest his soul.
01:35:00
Speaker
And then nothing else happened.
01:35:01
Speaker
Can we just say, by the way, he had arguably one of the best teams in world football, in history of world football, in that Barca team.
Pep Guardiola's Impact on Football
01:35:08
Speaker
And he still didn't manage to go invincible.
01:35:11
Speaker
It depends.
01:35:12
Speaker
Because I think like you could easily play for a draw.
01:35:14
Speaker
Like you could play for draws.
01:35:16
Speaker
There is absolutely none of those matches that Arsenal played play for a draw.
01:35:19
Speaker
They went for a win and they had to scrap that shit.
01:35:22
Speaker
Look.
01:35:22
Speaker
Okay, what did TalkSpot say, by the way?
01:35:24
Speaker
What was the top one?
01:35:25
Speaker
I don't know.
01:35:25
Speaker
There's a lot of work came in saying, like, oh, would you rate this?
01:35:28
Speaker
And he's an Arsenal fan, and he did like you.
01:35:30
Speaker
It was like, Invincible, obviously being Invincible.
01:35:32
Speaker
I was like, shut up.
01:35:33
Speaker
No way is it being Invincible.
01:35:35
Speaker
I know it's going to sound a bit difficult to believe.
01:35:38
Speaker
It sounds biased.
01:35:39
Speaker
I'll be honest with you.
01:35:40
Speaker
It sounds super biased.
01:35:40
Speaker
I get it.
01:35:41
Speaker
I appreciate the explanation you've got.
01:35:42
Speaker
I'm saying it sounds biased to the listeners.
01:35:44
Speaker
But the explanation, it doesn't to me.
01:35:46
Speaker
But if the listeners hear it first, they're going to have the same reaction as I did.
01:35:49
Speaker
whatever like behave come on whatever else yeah look i've made i've made i made my point on that whether you know whether it sounds biased or not that's fair enough that's that's different but no no but yeah i think that's why that's why i'll go with that it's just the level of achievement that you know in a 38 game league season that you didn't lose a single match but at the same time you know we lost the portal that season i think in the in the champions league no you lost to chelsea
01:36:14
Speaker
Was it Chelsea that we lost in the semis?
01:36:16
Speaker
Was it the semis?
01:36:17
Speaker
Yeah.
01:36:18
Speaker
What was the semis?
01:36:18
Speaker
The semis?
01:36:19
Speaker
Because we got beat by Monaco in the semis.
01:36:22
Speaker
We're in the bridge squad at Highbury.
01:36:23
Speaker
Last kick of the game in Highbury.
01:36:25
Speaker
That was the season, obviously.
01:36:28
Speaker
There you go.
01:36:28
Speaker
So it's one of those things.
01:36:30
Speaker
Obviously, like I said, don't get me wrong, I would love to win Champions League and Champions League over any other trophy, to be honest with you.
01:36:36
Speaker
It is the creme de la creme of club football.
01:36:38
Speaker
It is.
01:36:39
Speaker
It is absolutely.
01:36:40
Speaker
Elite upon...
01:36:41
Speaker
it's the elitest of the elite, to be fair.
01:36:43
Speaker
You can't get any more elite than that.
01:36:45
Speaker
No, you can't.
01:36:47
Speaker
Champions League is a quality trophy to win, and especially if you win it in style like Real Madrid have done it four, five, six times, seven times, especially four in a row.
01:36:54
Speaker
It's pretty incredible.
01:36:56
Speaker
Now, here we say, for me, the Guardiola one as well, the squad depth is still quite up there to win it four times in a row, to be at the top of your game when managers are going to adapt to the way you play and you still find solutions to be better and still win the league.
01:37:10
Speaker
It's like,
01:37:10
Speaker
Wow.
01:37:11
Speaker
Because you think Chelsea won it that first year.
01:37:13
Speaker
Second year was much harder.
01:37:14
Speaker
We won it second year with Mourinho.
01:37:16
Speaker
Third year, we did nothing.
01:37:17
Speaker
Mourinho got sacked.
01:37:18
Speaker
He looked like an average manager because he couldn't adapt.
01:37:20
Speaker
He couldn't change.
01:37:21
Speaker
He became predictable.
01:37:23
Speaker
If the question was who the best manager in the league is, then yeah, absolutely.
01:37:26
Speaker
It's going to be Guadalupe.
01:37:27
Speaker
I get what you're saying.
01:37:29
Speaker
I understand.
01:37:30
Speaker
He's the best in the world.
01:37:31
Speaker
He's incredible.
01:37:32
Speaker
Best in the world, easily.
01:37:33
Speaker
He's incredible.
01:37:35
Speaker
Maybe top three of all time managers ever to grace the pitch, to be honest.
01:37:40
Speaker
He's changed everything.
01:37:42
Speaker
He's changed the way people are playing at grassroots.
01:37:46
Speaker
Fergie was incredible, but Guardiola for me... Fergie did it.
01:37:48
Speaker
Wenger did it when he first started in the Premier League.
01:37:52
Speaker
Obviously, players start with Dias and all that stuff.
01:37:54
Speaker
They're the three that I put kind of in a three, but all those three, I put Guardiola first for some reason.
01:37:58
Speaker
I don't know why.
01:37:59
Speaker
I don't know, maybe because I see him when he's quite recent, and I only had the pleasure of seeing Fergie.
01:38:03
Speaker
No, I think... I've been watching for 10 years before.
01:38:05
Speaker
Probably be top.
01:38:06
Speaker
Yeah, I think Pep takes it.
01:38:07
Speaker
It's just what he's done.
01:38:08
Speaker
Everything that he's done for football is just incredible.
01:38:10
Speaker
Like, everybody seems to want to be playing the way the city.
01:38:12
Speaker
Sometimes it is boring, but, yeah, it's pretty incredible.
01:38:15
Speaker
He gets the results, though.
01:38:16
Speaker
So, there you go.
01:38:16
Speaker
That's all I'm out.
01:38:22
Speaker
No, you're right.
01:38:22
Speaker
We've been going on for a long time, so I'll get this out in the morning.
