Speaker: You just found yourself at Ikea and you decided to ask.
Speaker: No, we went for usual Ikea stuff, isn't it?
Speaker: Meatballs, yeah.
Speaker: No, no, no.
Speaker: I don't even know what we went for, actually.
Speaker: Oh, that's it.
Speaker: Yeah, we went for some wall art and a few other bits, more like picture frames.
Speaker: Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker: The ones that are quite light.
Speaker: You can stick them on with double-sided sticky tape rather than nails.
Speaker: No more nail stuff.
Speaker: But yeah, I found this little piece of beauty and I was like, do you know what?
Speaker: I love it.
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.
Speaker: And he has got himself a mic arm, which is, I can't even believe my eyes right now.
Speaker: Like, he's actually sat back, he's chilling.
Speaker: I'm relaxed.
Speaker: He can use both arms.
Speaker: I don't know what's going on, man.
Speaker: I don't know how to make of this.
Speaker: The missus went like, are you doing anything?
Speaker: I was like,
Speaker: Well, yeah, invested in this.
Speaker: I can do whatever the hell I want.
Speaker: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker: Do what I want, yeah.
Speaker: No, to be fair, it's pretty good.
Speaker: For the price that it was, it was all right.
Speaker: Obviously, it wasn't great.
Speaker: It's not quality in terms of looking at yours.
Speaker: No, no, no.
Speaker: But it does a job.
Speaker: It's just a stand-up.
Speaker: With the microphone, I can have a chat with you, and that's it.
Speaker: No, I was going to say, I mean, this is an old stand, bro.
Speaker: Like, this has been around for about 12 years now, this mic stand.
Speaker: Because I've got nowhere to put my mic arms, you see.
Speaker: Like, as you can see, well, not now because I've got the background on.
Speaker: Well, I'm in the painting, aren't I?
Speaker: But yeah, I can't put my mic arm anywhere, which is a bit devastating because I brought it with me.
Speaker: But I've literally got nowhere to attach it to.
Speaker: But yeah, this is a very, very special occasion.
Speaker: You know, he's got use of both arms.
Speaker: I don't know what's going to happen in this episode.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: We're just going to keep talking about this mic arm.
Speaker: I love it.
Speaker: I love it.
Speaker: This is what's new in life, man.
Speaker: This is it.
Speaker: We, you know, we are men.
Speaker: We are only excited by very small things.
Speaker: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker: Small things.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: Those things.
Speaker: This is one of those things.
Speaker: Like, you know, next time I'm going to come with a, with a bigger, can you see this on my microphone?
Speaker: This little phone?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: I'm going to have a bigger one and we're going to talk about that for ages.
Speaker: Quality.
Speaker: I need a mic.
Speaker: I think I might need a better microphone to be fair.
Speaker: This one has still got the little thing on front of it.
Speaker: Yeah, no, the pop shield is good.
Speaker: But it's all right.
Speaker: Anyway, man, how have you been?
Speaker: It makes it a lot easier.
Speaker: But yeah, I've been good.
Speaker: I've been good, Rick.
Speaker: You know, it's been about a week since we last met up in the virtual reality that is the podcasting world.
Speaker: Yes, it has been a week, yes.
Speaker: But you know, life gets in the way.
Speaker: Shit happens.
Speaker: Shit happens.
Speaker: We're here as much as we can.
Speaker: For me, it was the first week back to work, so.
Speaker: It was a very, very busy one, but it's okay.
Speaker: What can you do?
Speaker: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You've got to make some money, right?
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: You've got to make that pay-per-key.
Speaker: It's not going to make itself.
Speaker: I had a friend message me earlier today, and he goes, we were chatting, how are you doing and all this?
Speaker: And then he goes, oh, man, how do I motivate myself to go to work tomorrow?
Speaker: And I'm like...
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
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
Speaker: What have you been up to?
Speaker: How was your first week back at work then?
Speaker: You know, without getting into too much detail.
Speaker: I need you to motivate me to go back tomorrow.
Speaker: Money, why do I do it?
Speaker: No, to be fair, first week was all right.
Speaker: Fairly chilled, fairly calm.
Speaker: It was nice.
Speaker: It was nice just to kind of get back.
Speaker: Don't get me wrong.
Speaker: I love being home with the family and stuff.
Speaker: And I'd rather retire and be home with the family all the time.
Speaker: But we need the money.
Speaker: But it kind of taking a positive rather look at, put a positive spin on it rather than say, no, it's negative.
Speaker: It's work.
Speaker: Oh, Monday morning.
Speaker: It was nice to kind of have that routine again.
Speaker: Wake up early, go to work.
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.
Speaker: You know, everybody trying to shed off the crisp.
Speaker: You're still on that, right?
Speaker: No, well, I stopped it.
Speaker: I stopped it completely because I couldn't do it anymore.
Speaker: You know, my family life took over, pregnant wife, baby, so on.
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.
Speaker: So like you're constantly eating, constantly drinking.
Speaker: And you're not eating healthy food, you're just like, chocolate bar, crisps, crap, bread, white bread, just junk food.
Speaker: Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Speaker: And then like fizzy drinks all the time, like a Red Bull, a kind of Coke, a Fanta, etc, etc.
Speaker: And then when I went to work, they were like, Oh,
Speaker: Good Christmas.
Speaker: I was like, you're cheating.
Speaker: Whoops.
Speaker: Whoops.
Speaker: I was like, you're cheating.
Speaker: It was until you just said that statement.
Speaker: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: It was nice.
Speaker: It was nice to see everybody.
Speaker: Because sometimes work is a social place as well, really.
Speaker: When everybody has the breaks together, you can socialize a little bit.
Speaker: So it was nice.
Speaker: It takes in mind of the...
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
Speaker: Well, the good thing is now that the Grand Tour lads, you know, they're retiring.
Speaker: Top Gear has, you know, taken off air.
Speaker: So maybe we could slip in there and like, you know.
Speaker: Maybe there's a little something, something there.
Speaker: Maybe a little something there.
Speaker: But no, I was.
Speaker: If Amazon's listening.
Speaker: Yeah, well, yeah, that's it.
Speaker: We are through Amazon Music.
Speaker: So, you know, please do listen to us.
Speaker: Do listen.
Speaker: I was reading about James May, obviously on him and Clarkson and Hammond retiring.
Speaker: And he was saying that.
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.
Speaker: We said, we live in a world now where
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.
Speaker: And I got me thinking and, you know, he's absolutely right.
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?
Speaker: So it's, you know, we love cars, but
Speaker: It's that time, man.
Speaker: It's that time.
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.
Speaker: There's our film.
Speaker: You've seen our film with Justin Timberlake in time.
Speaker: No, I haven't.
Speaker: It's not great, but it's the concept I just mentioned, being paid with time.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: He's got the clock and stuff.
Speaker: The clock going on his forearm.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: I've seen that.
Speaker: And when the clock runs out, that basically means you're dead.
Speaker: Gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker: I've seen that movie.
Speaker: That's an old movie, isn't it?
Speaker: Yeah, very old film.
Speaker: But the way you said you get paid in time, I think the movie's called In Time.
Speaker: In Time, yeah, it is.
Speaker: It's called In Time.
Speaker: Oh, there you go then.
Speaker: My subconscious works in a weird way, man.
Speaker: I'm going to miss that.
Speaker: I do miss the Top Gear.
Speaker: I do miss the Grand Tour.
Speaker: The Grand Tour for me wasn't as good as the Top Gear, even Top Gear where Mr. Tribbiani did it, Joey Tribbiani.
Speaker: Now, for me, I enjoyed it.
Speaker: I enjoyed his humor.
Speaker: I kept seeing, like, I know he's not Joey, of course not, but you keep seeing Joey.
Speaker: You see the guy and he kind of grew up with friends and seeing him as Joey Tribbiani.
Speaker: But, yeah, with Matt LeBlanc, Chris...
Speaker: was quality on there.
Speaker: And I enjoyed it and I missed it, to be fair.
Speaker: Even with Freddie and the rest of the boys I did it with, what's his name?
Speaker: Paddy McGinnis, Freddie Flintoff, the other cricket player.
Speaker: And then is it Chris Harris?
Speaker: Yeah, Chris Harris.
Speaker: And I quite enjoyed that as well.
Speaker: But I think what it is, it's people who watch that, who love cars.
Speaker: It's an escape as well, isn't it, really?
Speaker: Of course it is.
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.
Speaker: But my favorites were like these long trips that they used to take.
Speaker: The road trips, man.
Speaker: The road trips and the nice cars and the radios and the banter and stuff.
Speaker: And it just makes me think like that's what I want to do with my body.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: But I'm not even at the stage where I'm like, oh, let's have the Ferraris.
Speaker: It'd be great and expensive cars.
Speaker: Somebody sponsor us.
Speaker: It comes with time.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: But for me, it's just like just to be on that road trip.
Speaker: And I think that's where the road trip, I say to my wife, she goes, who was I talking to?
Speaker: I was talking to my brother.
Speaker: He's like, I don't even like driving that much, man.
Speaker: And I was like, I love it.
Speaker: And I think I love it because of the top gears on the road trip.
Speaker: Like sometimes, okay, I live 200, 300 miles away from my parents.
Speaker: To me, it's a road trip going to see this road and I enjoy driving.
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.
Speaker: They didn't, they didn't.
Speaker: But they couldn't.
Speaker: The thing is, obviously, they couldn't use some things because of the BBC Top Gear.
Speaker: Yeah, like the reasonably priced car.
Speaker: That's why they had.
Speaker: I didn't like any of the celebrity segments in the Grand Tour, by the way, like none of them.
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.
Speaker: And then she gets eaten by a lion.
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.
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.
Speaker: That was funny.
Speaker: But then you can't keep going on with that.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: So I...
Speaker: Yeah, but look, Grand Tour, I watch it.
Speaker: You need a big funding, don't you, to keep going on for that.
Speaker: You need a lot of budget.
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: For that very small appearance for celebrities, it was crazy.
Speaker: But like you said, it's the road trips.
Speaker: It really is.
Speaker: Even watching the old Top Gears now, which I think I'm messaging the group.
Speaker: It's on BBC3.
Speaker: I didn't realize that they had the whole 33 seasons.
Speaker: I didn't know that.
Speaker: I didn't know that.
Speaker: But obviously for me, I didn't really care for the...
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
Speaker: Radio 4, Radio 3, I don't know what he hosts.
Speaker: But he's the one who James May went and he had like a 7, 8 million pound Ferrari or something.
Speaker: I don't know what it was.
Speaker: Wasn't it the 250 GTO or something like that?
Speaker: I don't know if it was a 250.
Speaker: No, it wasn't the 250.
Speaker: Because 250 is like 40 million, I think.
Speaker: Yeah, 250 GTO is like 40 plus 80 million.
Speaker: Chris Evans did not make that much money, let's just be honest.
Speaker: He did have that other 4, 5 million Ferrari.
Speaker: Yeah, he did.
Speaker: But he was forcing it.
Speaker: For me, it was every time I watched him, he was very much trying to force the band.
Speaker: They're trying to be funny and he just wasn't.
Speaker: And he looked like as if he made a joke.
Speaker: And you know those awkward jokes and the artists think like, that wasn't funny.
Speaker: But he's looking around going, come on, give me something.
Speaker: I can see the producers holding up like placards saying applause and laugh.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: No, I agree.
Speaker: But I think that's what kind of ruined it.
Speaker: After him, it got better.
Speaker: Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker: I think I need to give it a bit more of a chance afterwards because I think he ruined it.
Speaker: And then I thought...
Speaker: ah, you know, the rest are going to be the same.
Speaker: But maybe you're right.
Speaker: Maybe you're right.
Speaker: Like, you know, Matt LeBlanc, shit, we grew up with him as Joey Tribu.
Speaker: Matt LeBlanc was funny.
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.
Speaker: And that's what Chris Evans was.
Speaker: He was the main guy.
Speaker: It should have been somebody else.
Speaker: But disappointed with main top game, the three guys, is they did the Australian one where there was the M6, the Bentley.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I'm trying to wait with the cows and stuff like that.
Speaker: How many cows?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: And then all of a sudden, it just kind of, and then it stopped.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I feel like they should just compensate the boys to show the rest of that season off because it's clearly filmed.
Speaker: It's there.
Speaker: It's in the eye class somewhere in the BBC building.
Speaker: Just send it out.
Speaker: Just be like,
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.
Speaker: Wait, that's season 22, isn't it?
Speaker: Yeah, but I don't think all of it's out.
Speaker: I think because that happened and then the rumour came he punched the producer or did something.
Speaker: Whatever happened that they all started, like, retiring, I think that's the one.
Speaker: Is that right?
Speaker: I believe so because I remember him seeing on a talk show with... Who was he with?
Speaker: Some British guy.
Speaker: But yeah, I think that's why I'd find it.
Speaker: Because if it's not, I'd like to watch the rest of the season after the Australian.
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.
Speaker: Because I've already got them... I had them downloaded for many years.
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.
Speaker: They're on a separate hard drive.
Speaker: So maybe you're right.
Speaker: I didn't realise that.
Speaker: But I think...
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.
Speaker: I don't know if you've seen that then in that case.
Speaker: I saw that one.
Speaker: Yeah, I saw that little one.
Speaker: Yeah, because that was the last one.
Speaker: And then eventually they said, we're not going to do this anymore.
Speaker: Was it though?
Speaker: Was there nothing else that was not shown?
Speaker: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker: I'm pretty sure they had like another five or maybe four shows after.
Speaker: No, no.
Speaker: Because it started getting smaller and smaller, didn't it?
Speaker: Because before it would be on for maybe a month or so.
Speaker: And then a month, two months.
Speaker: And then after that, it went down to like six weeks.
Speaker: And then Toby is finishing five weeks.
Speaker: So season 22, episode one.
Speaker: No, they've got it all.
Speaker: Yeah, they've got it all.
Speaker: Yeah, so they've got the whole of season 22.
Speaker: And then season 23 is the one with, obviously, you know, that shall not be spoken about.
Speaker: Let's move away from that one.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But yeah, season 22, yeah, they've got that.
Speaker: But that was fun.
Speaker: That was, you know.
Speaker: So I'm talking about season 23 then.
Speaker: It must have been season 23.
Speaker: But that's the one with Chris Evans, season 23.
Speaker: Is it?
Speaker: Because I'm looking here, BBC Top Gear season, series 22, episode one, is the one where they've got the cycling cars.
Speaker: No, this is not it neither.
Speaker: Clarkson Hammond, Johannesburg, this isn't it.
Speaker: Yeah, because the Bentley one, the Australian one is episode two of season 22.
Speaker: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: So scroll down, yeah.
Speaker: And then they've got the rest of them.
Speaker: Will Smith is on in number four.
Speaker: That's right, that's right.
Speaker: I was going to say, because I'm pretty sure one of my favourites there was episode six.
Speaker: I don't remember seeing Will Smith in them.
Speaker: Episode six, when Hammond goes to Canada and he's got that watch where he pulls out a little pin.
Speaker: That's one of my favourite episodes.
Speaker: I really enjoyed it.
Speaker: Where the fucking hell are you?
Speaker: Yeah, it was the raptor, wasn't it?
Speaker: The raptor and...
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
Speaker: That's literally it.
Speaker: But no, you're right.
Speaker: You're right.
Speaker: Like, I've just, you know, that's it with Top Gear.
Speaker: I think for me, it's just an escape to something that, it's more of a fantasy, isn't it?
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: Like you said, just, you know, get a car, drive with your boys on the radios, talk some shit, cars break down, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker: But yeah, look, have you watched any football apart from your team?
Speaker: Of course I've watched football.
Speaker: Oh, no then.
Speaker: See, I had to preface it like that, man.
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.
Speaker: So for me, it means that I didn't watch any football in the past.
Speaker: You didn't watch nothing?
Speaker: Nothing.
Speaker: I watched a bit of the Liverpool... No.
Speaker: God, no.
Speaker: I watched a bit of that match.
Speaker: It was boring, so I turned it off.
Speaker: I watched a bit of the Liverpool match.
Speaker: They were winning.
Speaker: I turned that off.
Speaker: Which match was boring?
Speaker: The Villa-Chelsea match.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: To be fair, it was all right.
Speaker: Obviously, as a Chelsea, if you gave it a bit more time, we should have won that game.
Speaker: We really should have.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Did you see highlights or anything?
Speaker: Palmer?
Speaker: I didn't watch anything.
Speaker: Nothing.
Speaker: You've not watched nothing on it?
Speaker: I've watched nothing on it.
Speaker: That's why I wanted to have a chat with you.
Speaker: How do you feel about the draw, by the way?
Speaker: Well, the fact that you're going to replay the match.
Speaker: No, I feel like we're going to get beat.
Speaker: Villa Park will get beat because they look dangerous towards the last 15 minutes.
Speaker: We had chance after chance, but we just couldn't seem to score.
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
Speaker: He's just so awkward.
Speaker: Like he's not even awkward and can beat the man.
Speaker: He's just awkward on the ball.
Speaker: I feel like he has the balls to look at his teammates and say, oh, pass it to me then.
Speaker: Like, no, bro.
Speaker: Like passing it to you is like I might as well give it to the opposition.
Speaker: Like literally how it felt.
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
Speaker: quality.
Speaker: Demolition.
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
Speaker: And for that reason, then Carrick should have just gone, no, we're not going to give you the space.
Speaker: We're just going to sit here on this low block and try to break us down.
Speaker: But anyway, not complaining, 6-1, it was nice for everybody to score goals, gain a bit of confidence, a bit more desire.
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.
Speaker: And...
Speaker: Well, I think backfire is the wrong word here.
Speaker: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: The guy shot himself with a shotgun right in the face.
Speaker: So I didn't.
Speaker: Yeah, I didn't.
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.
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.
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,
Speaker: I think I saw called the third goal.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I caught the third goal, the disaster goal.
Speaker: I caught the third goal where he intercepts one, two with Sterling.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's when I started off.
Speaker: That's not that interception.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's what I joined.
Speaker: But, uh,
Speaker: It was good.
Speaker: It was good.
Speaker: Listen, 6-1, not going to deny it.
Speaker: Really great feeling.
Speaker: But it's still not... It's a bit of... Yeah, a bit of a bit of sweet because Middlesbrough, local team, etc.
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.
Speaker: But still... Most of the drunk ones.
Speaker: Most of the drunk ones.
Speaker: That's what it is, isn't it?
Speaker: Whereas against Villa, I was expecting a similar performance, really quite relentless.
Speaker: And we were, we were winning the ball up top in the final third.
Speaker: We were winning it back.
Speaker: We just could not put it away.
Speaker: Really struggled to get clear chance on goal.
Speaker: And then when we did have a clear chance, we hit it straight at the keeper.
Speaker: Martinez made two, three errors with his kicking game.
Speaker: Fell to Colt Palma, fell to somebody.
Speaker: He was just like, come on.
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.
Speaker: So as I'm looking up, the ball was up in the air.
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.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But anyway, we'll see what happens.
Speaker: There's not much really to say apart from Madhu Waker starting again.
Speaker: Like, it's just, I don't know why Colwell got injured in the warm-up.
Speaker: Maybe it's to confuse players.
Speaker: Maybe it's to confuse players, you know, like the opposition team, Madhu Waker's on.
Speaker: So they're like, oh, OK, we'll leave him alone, you know what I mean?
Speaker: And then everyone leaves him alone and then he'll just do something.
Speaker: But apparently he's not even doing anything.
Speaker: No, he's doing nothing.
Speaker: The rest of them, to be fair.
Speaker: providing that they played three days before, like 72 hours before, they were really good.
Speaker: Gallagher was chasing after everything.
Speaker: Caicedo was the same.
Speaker: Enzo was the same.
Speaker: But then obviously that was only sustainable for like around 70 minutes, 75 minutes.
Speaker: And then Villa started putting pressure.
Speaker: Then we stalked up.
Speaker: And that even happened when Modric came on.
Speaker: He just looked lost.
Speaker: Modric just, I don't even know what, what instruction does he receive from the coach?
Speaker: Because he's clearly not good enough to be at Ozil and just free roam.
Speaker: You find the space in the little pockets.
Speaker: He's just like, he looks lost.
Speaker: He genuinely looks lost.
Speaker: Too much space, isn't it?
Speaker: It's not even too much space.
Speaker: No, no, sorry.
Speaker: Too much space for him to roam around.
Speaker: Like, he can't even... Maybe.
Speaker: He gets confused with that.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: Honestly, because I genuinely don't know.
Speaker: Because clearly there's potential there.
Speaker: We've all seen glimpses of it or like cameos of it.
Speaker: But it's just even basic stuff, bro.
Speaker: Like, just run behind.
Speaker: Against Middlesbrough, he got brought off halfway through at halftime.
Speaker: Because Enzo had to go at him and say, like, run behind.
Speaker: You, behind.
Speaker: I don't think you understand what that means.
Speaker: Get a translator.
Speaker: Who runs alongside him up and down the sideline.
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.
Speaker: I don't know if you've seen that guy.
Speaker: I've seen that.
Speaker: Big guy.
Speaker: Bring that guy in.
Speaker: Well, not that guy, but bring a guy like him who translates in Ukrainian.
Speaker: Just having very fit running up and down the sideline with Mudrik when Mudrik stays.
Speaker: And then it's like, you tell him you go behind, go behind, which is fine.
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.
Speaker: Every game is the basics, right?
Speaker: You think to yourself, OK, no worries.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, I can see what you're trying to do, but you're doing everything else right.
Speaker: When you're trying the extra stuff, I'm like, yeah, now I can respect that because you're trying it.
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.
Speaker: That's what I mean.
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.
Speaker: Do I go there?
Speaker: Then it's too late.
Speaker: You know, if you have to think about it that much, then, you know, again, we're at the highest level.
Speaker: It's...
Speaker: You don't have that space is no longer there.
Speaker: There is no more space.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: It's there for a split second.
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.
Speaker: It just goes back into his old self.
Speaker: And look, that's that's obviously that's not sustainable.
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.
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.
Speaker: Caicedo, he's kind of doing the same.
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.
Speaker: He's tracking back.
Speaker: He's getting about, which is good.
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.
Speaker: I think you're being generous in one in four games.
Speaker: I think it's even more than that.
Speaker: Maybe not one in ten, but it's definitely higher than one in four, one in five.
Speaker: And I think he was meant to be our kind of savior, effectively.
Speaker: He was meant to be our killer player in terms of speed and attack and finesse and
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
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
Speaker: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker: Don't get me started on FIFA, right?
Speaker: I've just started a new season with Birmingham on FIFA 22.
Speaker: Are you 22?
Speaker: I've got 22.
Speaker: I didn't want to buy the new one.
Speaker: I've got a story to tell you for the new one, but I'll come back to it.
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.
Speaker: Say it.
Speaker: Should we go down it right now?
Speaker: Yeah, just do it.
Speaker: Tell me.
Speaker: While we're on FIFA, quick side track.
Speaker: So you know my brother came down last weekend?
Speaker: Yeah, last weekend.
Speaker: My brother came down with his missus.
Speaker: And I was like, we had an appointment in there, a dental appointment for the little one in central London.
Speaker: And then we thought, right, OK.
Speaker: I said to him, you go do what you got to do with visiting family, friends and other people.
Speaker: And then obviously we'll meet you back.
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.
Speaker: Damn.
Speaker: Everybody was giving me like 60 quid, 80 quid for a PS4 Pro, by the way.
Speaker: And I was like, no, man.
Speaker: I might as well pay you to take the 60 quid.
Speaker: But anyway, long story short.
Speaker: So I bought, I got the PlayStation out, paid for the PS network.
Speaker: And I was like, right, I'll get FIFA ready.
Speaker: And it was on sale, the new one, 40 pounds.
Speaker: Still expensive, but 20 pounds less.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: And it was the ultimate edition for 40 pounds.
Speaker: Oh, nice.
Speaker: Whatever it is.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And I was like, is this true?
Speaker: So I'm Googling, am I just getting FIFA points for 40 quid here?
Speaker: Like it says ultimate edition, but am I just getting FIFA points?
Speaker: What is it?
Speaker: After a bit of research, I was like, okay, I'm going to buy it.
Speaker: The tunnel next to Lincoln North and South was blocked from southbound.
Speaker: So he got stuck in traffic to do a 3.5 mile journey for six hours.
Speaker: Jesus Christ.
Speaker: So by the time he left there at four o'clock, he didn't get to come home till 9.30.
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
Speaker: Well, I don't think so, mate.
Speaker: I don't think so.
Speaker: Like, I had to... On FIFA, they're overpowered.
Speaker: Like, you can tell the players on FIFA, like the Mudrics and stuff are incredible on FIFA.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: But no, that's what I picked.
Speaker: That's what I picked.
Speaker: I'm currently, Mudrick has got 75 goals in 23.
Speaker: I won't be surprised.
Speaker: I won't be surprised.
Speaker: I've got it on professional.
Speaker: I'm just like, I lose a couple of games because I'm not very good at it yet.
Speaker: But...
Speaker: But now it's just nice just to wind down, isn't it?
Speaker: Playing a bit of FIFA.
Speaker: On FIFA 21, who the hell was I?
Speaker: I wasn't.
Speaker: No, no.
Speaker: This is on FIFA 21, which I've left.
Speaker: I left back up north.
Speaker: And again, stupidly, I left back up north.
Speaker: Even when I went back up there during Christmas, should have brought it down.
Speaker: So for about a week, I was like, what the fuck am I going to do?
Speaker: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker: So I was searching everywhere for FIFA 21.
Speaker: I was like, fuck it, because I've got the same game.
Speaker: I'll just carry on my campaign.
Speaker: Anyway, I found FIFA 22 on eBay.
Speaker: The guy lowered it from like 10 to 8 quid.
Speaker: So I was like, sound, all right, I'll buy that.
Speaker: 8 quid, bought it.
Speaker: But anyway, on FIFA 21, I had Martinelli for my team.
Speaker: I can't remember who my team was.
Speaker: Not in Forest.
Speaker: So I bought Martinelli from Arsenal.
Speaker: So obviously very cheap, like, I don't know, like 11 mil or something.
Speaker: Bought him.
Speaker: And I swear to God, that guy got 63 goals in 46 games.
Speaker: 63 goals.
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: He went from like,
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
Speaker: terrible, terrible team, like a terrible team.
Speaker: They have got some absolute shite players.
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?
Speaker: I was playing and the morale was just like, you know, not very good.
Speaker: And I'm like, why the,
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
Speaker: I'm like, what the fuck do you mean?
Speaker: Anyway, so I accepted.
Speaker: I was like, oh, thanks for talking to me and all this.
Speaker: And then I got an email from the assistant manager saying, oh, I suggest Troy Deeney as the captain for the next match.
Speaker: So I'm like, what the fuck do you mean?
Speaker: So anyway, I put Troy Deeney on as the captain and as my striker, obviously.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And bro, I'm not even kidding you.
Speaker: After five matches, the same player popped up on my message and goes, thanks, boss.
Speaker: Thanks for listening to me.
Speaker: The morale's gone up.
Speaker: And I'm like, I cannot believe this shit.
Speaker: But listen, right?
Speaker: I bought the best thing that I bought, the best player that I bought for my Birmingham team was Elisa.
Speaker: So I went to Crystal Palace.
Speaker: I was like, I want Michael Alise from you.
Speaker: And now he is my centre forward in that Firmino role.
Speaker: And obviously he's banging in goals for fun.
Speaker: But it is difficult.
Speaker: On world-class, it is fucking difficult.
Speaker: Are we playing on world-class?
Speaker: It is world-class.
Speaker: Like, on FIFA 21, world-class.
Speaker: FIFA 21, world-class.
Speaker: I got used to it.
Speaker: It was easy.
Speaker: I was, like I said, 63 goals with Martinelli, for God's sake.
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.
Speaker: going on.
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.
Speaker: It used to be better though didn't it like campaign and stuff until ultimate team ruined everything.
Speaker: Nothing now predominantly it's all around online.
Speaker: I don't like that whatever it's called like online trades or whatever.
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.
Speaker: There's a phrase for it.
Speaker: I don't know what it's got.
Speaker: I think it's like online purchasing.
Speaker: No, no, but like whatever terminology is like online purchase or online.
Speaker: Right, right, right.
Speaker: In-game purchase.
Speaker: Yeah, in-game purchase.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: So obviously all this that predominantly focused on in-game purchase, FIFA coins, trying to do ultimate team and so on.
Speaker: And it's good, but who's got the time?
Speaker: Like, you already spent 60 quid on the game.
Speaker: Who's got the time to try and buy FIFA coins?
Speaker: And it's virtually impossible to try and get a decent ultimate team without spending money.
Speaker: Actual money.
Speaker: Yeah, actual money from your own pocket.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Without your own pocket, go like, oh, let me get to spend another £20 on FIFA coins to buy some packs.
Speaker: And you think it's just not worth it.
Speaker: It really isn't.
Speaker: Sorry, we've got sidetracked.
Speaker: But yeah, FIFA, I had to buy a FIFA just to get my footy going on.
Speaker: But yeah, sometimes it's just so difficult and I just have to turn it off.
Speaker: Well, you should have said I could have had my 23 because mine came with a PlayStation.
Speaker: Now that I bought, obviously you didn't know I bought this one, but you should have said they're not playing.
Speaker: I'll be honest, I didn't even have it.
Speaker: I haven't played the PlayStation since February, March last year.
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
Speaker: FIFA and what you call it, Call of Duty and any other games.
Speaker: But like I said, I haven't played for so long, but anyway, now you know.
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.
Speaker: No, honestly, the main reason I keep the PlayStation around is for F1, because I really enjoyed the F1 games.
Speaker: But again, they are fucking difficult without a wheel.
Speaker: They are so difficult without a wheel.
Speaker: And then you've got to find a space for a wheel, though.
Speaker: I don't know how you feel about you, mate.
Speaker: Well, I suppose for you it's okay, but for me, I don't know where to keep the wheel.
Speaker: Where the fuck am I going to put a wheel, bro?
Speaker: Seriously, where am I going to put a wheel?
Speaker: If I had space for a wheel, I would have brought my desk...
Speaker: My actual, like, you know, my studio desk would have brought that down.
Speaker: I don't have any space for it.
Speaker: And literally every time I'm playing F1 games and th is is the last thing on the PlayStation, we'll move on.
Speaker: Every time I'm playing it, I can get to about five seconds behind the very top.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: The very top of the leaderboard, like on the global leaderboard.
Speaker: Five seconds is the most I can get, like the closest I can get to them.
Speaker: And that's a lot.
Speaker: And you know what I mean?
Speaker: That is a lot of time to be behind because shit, I've got a wheel.
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.
Speaker: So proper racing.
Speaker: The only thing I have is just the gear changes.
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
Speaker: I'm hoping for a good performance.
Speaker: Sticking on Chelsea very quickly before I come to you because obviously you've gone a while without playing now.
Speaker: Why are you guys out of the FA Cup, by the way?
Speaker: I know why, but who got you out?
Speaker: I think it was Liverpool.
Speaker: Was it Liverpool?
Speaker: I'm pretty sure it was Liverpool.
Speaker: I can't remember.
Speaker: It's been that long.
Speaker: It was Liverpool.
Speaker: I actually thought you guys were playing and then I don't know.
Speaker: Today you went to Man United.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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
Speaker: But yeah, you're number 38, Scott, so happy days.
Speaker: But yeah, no, sorry, with Arsenal, we played last weekend, we beat Palace 5-0 at the Emirates.
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.
Speaker: But yeah, we play again on Tuesday, which obviously we'll get to predictions.
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,
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
Speaker: If he takes over anything, it'll be Germany or Barcelona.
Speaker: Like, I'm telling you right now.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It'll be Germany or Barcelona.
Speaker: So unless he gets offered a shitload of money from Bayern Munich or anywhere else.
Speaker: To be fair, I'd really like to see him at Madrid as well.
Speaker: If he's going to go anywhere, I'd like to see him.
Speaker: I know Ancelotti is doing bits there.
Speaker: But I've got a few.
Speaker: He's going to live forever.
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.
Speaker: He says, I've still got the Opel, which is a Vauxhall insignia.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: He goes, I've got a noble insignia, does me really well, I don't need anything else.
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.
Speaker: Is that it, 8 million a year?
Speaker: Sorry, for a manager, I mean, obviously, let's just be real.
Speaker: That's a lot of money.
Speaker: Yeah, it's a lot of money.
Speaker: I think that's what it is.
Speaker: I know Mourinho is the highest paid, obviously he's a little bit high.
Speaker: Liverpool don't really pay that well, mate, to be fair.
Speaker: It's because obviously John DeBruy, Henry, they have a very much more of an incentive approach.
Speaker: And that's what Chelsea's been trying to do, is kind of,
Speaker: 100 grand salaries by like 10, 20% goal, clean cheap.
Speaker: So it's a lot of money.
Speaker: 20% on 100 grand is another 20 grand.
Speaker: You scored two goals, there's your 150 that week.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: You are laughing.
Speaker: Which is in a way I think it's better than what we had previously.
Speaker: Previously we were winning trophies, but it's better to have that incentive.
Speaker: And for Liverpool it's worked really well simply because of Klopp.
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,
Speaker: where is it going?
Speaker: Same as Arsenal fans giving it the big until Wenger left.
Speaker: Where is it going?
Speaker: Same as Chelsea fans giving it the big until Lebron was left.
Speaker: Where is it going?
Speaker: And it's interesting to see what teams fill that space.
Speaker: You know, like Chelsea fell off.
Speaker: we saw Newcastle step in, right?
Speaker: Let's say the top four, for example, Chelsea fell off, Newcastle stepped in.
Speaker: Arsenal fell off, Spurs fell in a little bit in there now and again.
Speaker: Not very consistent.
Speaker: Not very consistent, but now and again, yeah.
Speaker: I think you're right, though.
Speaker: It is very interesting to see what happens with Klopp next year.
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.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Unless, like you said, Bayern can hold out with Tuchel until next year and then he can take over Bayern Munich.
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.
Speaker: I'm not surprised.
Speaker: Barca's got too many financial problems.
Speaker: And I don't think they can A, afford Klopp and B, I don't think Klopp...
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
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
Speaker: think of the next game of how you're going to compete against.
Speaker: Whereas Bayern is a possibility simply because of that German link, but because Thomas Tuchel is not.
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
Speaker: just to be like, yeah, we want Eric because he is our best option.
Speaker: Are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker: You are Bayern Munich.
Speaker: I hate me saying it.
Speaker: What are you talking?
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.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: So they're more inclined to listen to him, for them to bring... Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker: He's the one.
Speaker: I want Eric Dye to come in and then bring Eric Dye.
Speaker: Bring him in for whatever reason, because there is no way that, again, Bayern...
Speaker: you know, sort of wanted to scout Eric
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
Speaker: Interesting stuff, isn't it?
Speaker: Liverpool played today, so I suppose we've got that extra 48 hours, definitely 24 hours rest, because we played Friday night.
Speaker: It was a tough game, though, because it's a lot of football for us to play.
Speaker: We played Tuesday night, Friday night, Wednesday night.
Speaker: You've got the players to do it, though.
Speaker: You've got plenty of players.
Speaker: It's kind of like, what's it called, the rotating doors, one in, one out.
Speaker: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: We do have still some injuries, though.
Speaker: Still some players to come back from injury, like Nkuku to come back, Rhys James probably to come back.
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
Speaker: before he got injured, then he got injured.
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.
Speaker: And he seems really weak to get challenges.
Speaker: Van Dijk is going to bully him.
Speaker: Canata is going to bully him.
Speaker: You've got to trust your boy, man.
Speaker: I told you, Broer, he's not that good.
Speaker: And again... I trust you, but I trust my own eyes as well.
Speaker: I watched him three years ago.
Speaker: I watched him three years ago and he was decent.
Speaker: I saw what he did at Southampton and he was good, you know, like going up.
Speaker: Because with a striker, the first thing I look for is like, are you afraid for a challenge?
Speaker: Yeah?
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.
Speaker: You know, if you get that, it's kind of like they've won the battle.
Speaker: You're just going to get it and get rid, get it and get rid.
Speaker: Whereas Broy is currently doing that.
Speaker: He doesn't seem to want to kind of get in there, get battling, go for headers.
Speaker: And I don't know, there's nobody else.
Speaker: Cole Palmer will probably play as a nine, false nine.
Speaker: And if he does, he's not a false nine.
Speaker: He was really, really weak up top.
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.
Speaker: Sterling was very good against Villa, by the way.
Speaker: Playing from the left was very good, but that's Sterling's position.
Speaker: He'll probably play Mudrick on the left and Sterling on the right.
Speaker: And really all we've done there is just huge disadvantage for ourselves because Sterling needs to be on the left-hand side.
Speaker: Put Mudrick on the right.
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.
Speaker: And just say to him, Bro, just go to the line and cross it in.
Speaker: None of this cutting in from the left to shoot.
Speaker: go to the line and cross it.
Speaker: I don't want to do anything else.
Speaker: Just go to the line and then cross it.
Speaker: Just yeah, open open wider basically.
Speaker: Your right footed, play on the right wing, go up, cross it in.
Speaker: And yeah, exactly.
Speaker: Keep the pitch as wide as you possibly can.
Speaker: Because they won't have, they don't have Trent, they won't have Robertson.
Speaker: But that Bradley guy's been wicked, by the way, like wicked.
Speaker: Let's see.
Speaker: I mean, it's only been two games, but like two games that I've seen, he has been very, very good.
Speaker: And Liverpool fans and Liverpool
Speaker: Ex-legends, ex-players are talking of him in very high regard.
Speaker: Who's going to be shit next game?
Speaker: No, well, it's hope so because next game is against Chelsea.
Speaker: Hopefully they're on shit.
Speaker: Hopefully 38 is fucking playing.
Speaker: And Jones is playing as well just to have a look.
Speaker: If they boss it, I will say, do you know what?
Speaker: I'm not going to say his full name, I'm just going to call him 38 for now, and Glatchenberg.
Speaker: Glatchenberg, yeah, I love it.
Speaker: But you know you're going to be devastated and you're going to eat your words if both of them score, right?
Speaker: If they both score, I will eat my words.
Speaker: I'm the first person to admit it.
Speaker: No, I will actually send you a letter in the post with your words and I will...
Speaker: Yes, we'll eat it live on air.
Speaker: I'll ask you to eat it live.
Speaker: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: But I'll tell you what then.
Speaker: I'll tell you what.
Speaker: Before you give me your prediction for Chelsea, should we start with Tuesday night?
Speaker: Yeah, go with Tuesday because you guys are playing Tuesday as well.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Who have you got?
Speaker: We've got Nottingham Forest away at the city ground.
Speaker: So that should be an interesting match.
Speaker: But actually, sorry, last thing before because I will forget this before we get into predictions, right?
Speaker: I just want to say and I want to add on how shit
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.
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...
Speaker: They are honestly a horrible, horrible team.
Speaker: And you know what made it even better?
Speaker: There was one moment during the end where Pedro Porro was going up against Doku, right?
Speaker: And he was taunting him.
Speaker: Like, you know, like, what are you going to do?
Speaker: You saw that, right?
Speaker: I'm so glad because I didn't want to have to play.
Speaker: Because I called the last 15 minutes.
Speaker: I called the last 15 minutes of that match.
Speaker: Fucking guess what, mate?
Speaker: That goal came from Pedro Porro's side.
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?
Speaker: Look what just happened.
Speaker: And it did.
Speaker: The worst happened.
Speaker: And Ange is a fucking shit manager because he has no fucking ideas.
Speaker: And I don't give a shit.
Speaker: Like, I know people are going to disagree with me.
Speaker: They're going to be like, oh, you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker: No, I know what I'm talking about because I watched enough Spurs matches to realize how fucking shit they are.
Speaker: Like them and their fucking coach.
Speaker: The bits that I watched, the only good thing that they did is when they got out of that pressure.
Speaker: And the best way to describe the exact moment was when Guardiola screamed at Doku to run.
Speaker: And they're saying, run, run.
Speaker: And Spurs had those little triangle one, two.
Speaker: That was good.
Speaker: But then after that, they had nothing else.
Speaker: They weren't offering anything.
Speaker: They don't offer.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: They don't offer anything.
Speaker: Like they are a team that genuinely do not offer anything.
Speaker: Let's let me just have a quick look at the lineups.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Just just so you.
Speaker: OK, so they had Kulusevsky on.
Speaker: So pretty much had a full team apart from Madison, I think, isn't it?
Speaker: Apart from Madison.
Speaker: And Sonny.
Speaker: Oh, sorry.
Speaker: And Madison came on.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Oh, and Son.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: Fucking hell.
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
Speaker: Just a different perspective is that City haven't scored on that ground in six games.
Speaker: This was the seventh game.
Speaker: They've scored it now and obviously they've won it and got knocked out of the way.
Speaker: It's a knockout match.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: I could never really see Spurs beat City to be fair.
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.
Speaker: Even if they might have got a draw and then City gone through regardless,
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.
Speaker: And if they bring in that kind of money in... It's commercial, yeah.
Speaker: If you're the richest club in London now, as fans, you need to demand when it gets invested into the team.
Speaker: Back to manager.
Speaker: This guy seems to do all right.
Speaker: He's bringing the feel-good factor.
Speaker: He's talked to Spurs fans.
Speaker: They've trusted in hands.
Speaker: They've got that song.
Speaker: trusting in Ange again or whatever it is.
Speaker: I don't know what's being played on.
Speaker: Don't trust Ange that much, because again, I'm just looking at the stats here, right?
Speaker: And have you seen these stats, by the way, from that match?
Speaker: So again, expected goals, you know how I feel about them.
Speaker: I don't really care.
Speaker: But just to give you an idea, right?
Speaker: Yes, yes, of course.
Speaker: People love the stats.
Speaker: So yeah, go for it.
Speaker: Man City, right?
Speaker: Man City, expected goals was 2.19, right?
Speaker: Spurs was 0.25.
Speaker: So a quarter of a fucking goal, right?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Ball possession was 43 to 57, right?
Speaker: Goal attempts.
Speaker: Goal attempts, right?
Speaker: Are you ready for this?
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
Speaker: So, yeah, let's just, you know, can we just be honest with the way that's fucking Spurs play?
Speaker: They are not a good team.
Speaker: And it's lucky for them that the rest, like Arsenal have obviously had a bit of a fall down.
Speaker: Liverpool didn't have a great start of the season.
Speaker: Newcastle obviously haven't been up to the races.
Speaker: Man City had a bad start to the season.
Speaker: So that's why Spurs are looking good.
Speaker: And this is, I will maintain this until Spurs end second or fucking win the league.
Speaker: I will, then I'll eat my words.
Speaker: Then you can send me a fucking post.
Speaker: Yes, it's also due to the post, yeah.
Speaker: So this doesn't count if they finish above you?
Speaker: I mean... Because Gary Neville, I think that's what he's predicting, isn't he?
Speaker: He's saying Spurs are much above Arsenal.
Speaker: Hey, that's fine.
Speaker: I'll eat my words.
Speaker: If they finish above Arsenal, I'll eat my words.
Speaker: Yeah, send me the letter, brother.
Speaker: I'll eat it.
Speaker: Gladly.
Speaker: Make sure it's line, though, yeah?
Speaker: Make sure it's line paper.
Speaker: So anyway, that's my rant on Spurs over, right?
Speaker: I just had to mention that.
Speaker: Let's go back to the prediction.
Speaker: Who have they got this week?
Speaker: Who have they got, obviously, back into the Premier League?
Speaker: Who do Spurs have?
Speaker: Let's give, obviously, with Manesson coming back from injury, like, a better judgment against them.
Speaker: Because Timo Werner didn't offer anything that game.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Do you know the one there where he was one-on-one and Karl Walker caught him up?
Speaker: Yeah, oh my God.
Speaker: And he was just running straight instead of cutting across.
Speaker: And then all the commentary was like, he can still do that 33.
Speaker: I was like, because Vernon just slowed the fuck down.
Speaker: Because what you do is you always get instructed.
Speaker: As soon as you get the ball, the defender's behind you.
Speaker: You cut in front of the defender.
Speaker: Now either they slow down or they take you out.
Speaker: Either or.
Speaker: That's the only way to do it.
Speaker: They have to slow down thinking trying to get the ball, the yellow card, etc.
Speaker: That's the main reason.
Speaker: But yeah, Timo Werner had a chance and he just didn't do it.
Speaker: They reminded me of a Modric there because like, oh, I've got the ball.
Speaker: Let me run forward.
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.
Speaker: Otherwise, you're kicking it from here to London Bridge.
Speaker: Timo Werner is the epitome of what a Tottenham player is.
Speaker: He embodies the whole Tottenham team as one player.
Speaker: He is that guy.
Speaker: And then when you add Richarlison at the top, which is fucking insane.
Speaker: If you're anything like me, my headwear is only New Era Cups.
Speaker: New Era is the official headwear provider for NFL, MLB and the NBA.
Speaker: But New Era Caps are not just headwear.
Speaker: They are a global brand of culture, style and self-expression.
Speaker: I'm a huge fan of rap and hip hop and growing up, I used to watch artists sporting the New Era Caps.
Speaker: I was mesmerized by the way they used to fit just perfectly.
Speaker: I remember my first ever New Era Cap.
Speaker: It was a Blue Jays cap.
Speaker: I lived in Toronto, so it had to be.
Speaker: My favorite from my personal collection is my LA Dodgers.
Speaker: I have two different versions, fitted and the 940.
Speaker: What I love most about Nuera is the quality of the product is second to none.
Speaker: I refuse to wear any other brand caps when Nuera is available.

Speaker: Anyways, well, let's get on to predictions before I lose my shit about Tottenham.
Speaker: I can tell you're feeling very vexed.
Speaker: I was waiting for this moment.
Speaker: I watched bits of that match.
Speaker: Well, actually, I watched a lot of that match, to be honest, for me to come to this conclusion.
Speaker: But yeah, I was waiting to bring that up.
Speaker: Anyway, Nottingham, Arsenal, obviously, it's my team.
Speaker: So you go first with the prediction.
Speaker: What are we thinking?
Speaker: It's at Nottingham.
Speaker: It's at Nottingham Forest.
Speaker: I think you'll win, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as it was against Palace.
Speaker: I think you'll probably win.
Speaker: Northern Forest will attack.
Speaker: But I think, yeah, I think you've got that.
Speaker: Tactically, you'll be better.
Speaker: I'll tell you, better players.
Speaker: You should win.
Speaker: I think you will win.
Speaker: You'll probably win 3-1.
Speaker: Let's go 3-1.
Speaker: Maybe not a 5, but maybe a 3-1.
Speaker: But if you're not careful, you could very easily lose this game as well, to be fair.
Speaker: So, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker: I'm going to go 4-2.
Speaker: 4-2 for you guys.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Game of the week already.
Speaker: No, I don't think so.
Speaker: Not for me anyway.
Speaker: That's a heart attack game right there.
Speaker: 4-2 is a great result.
Speaker: Okay, I mean 3-1.
Speaker: It's the same.
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.
Speaker: Just literally, if I was to put a bet on and predict the correct result, it would probably be a 3-1.
Speaker: Now, why...
Speaker: Did you say that we could potentially lose this match?
Speaker: Because you said it was interesting, but why did you say that?
Speaker: Tell me what's interesting about that shit.
Speaker: What's interesting about that shit?
Speaker: It's just a big striker up top.
Speaker: I don't know how they're going to play.
Speaker: I think Zinchenko might make him.
Speaker: It depends on his start in XI, to be honest with you.
Speaker: Coming back from a 5-0, I've seen it to many teams.
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.
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.
Speaker: It was very easy to think, lose the game 1-0.
Speaker: So that's where I'm at really, just thinking on the players' mentality.
Speaker: But because you're fourth, you probably won't have that mentality.
Speaker: Now, this isn't a dig.
Speaker: It's more like we're fourth.
Speaker: We need to chase the pack because we were first for so long.
Speaker: So I think you're going to have that killer instinct and you'll probably win 3-1.
Speaker: Actually, we're third.
Speaker: We're third.
Speaker: Oh, you're third.
Speaker: Oh, who's fourth?
Speaker: Billa.
Speaker: Villa, okay.
Speaker: Villa third, yeah.
Speaker: And Tottenham are trailing three points behind Villa and Arsenal right now.
Speaker: So very tight.
Speaker: Very, very tight.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: And I agree with what you're saying, though.
Speaker: It could be a game that there's one Arsenal podcast I listen to and he calls this a trap game, right?
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.
Speaker: And say, well, no, no, no.
Speaker: You just go to Nottingham.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: you play the game at Nottingham and then you think about the other match.
Speaker: So yeah, you're absolutely, I can, I can see that.
Speaker: I can definitely see that.
Speaker: I'm going to go for two because I think they're going to try and keep up that momentum that they had.
Speaker: They're well, well rested now.
Speaker: And I think we've got pretty much full squad.
Speaker: Gabriel, I don't think he's, I think he's all right now.
Speaker: And Zinchenko will definitely play this match.
Speaker: I think it's a Zinchenko match, to be honest.
Speaker: You know, dropping into that, moving forward into that midfield role, just adding a bit more.
Speaker: with and hopefully Rice can play as well.
Speaker: So yeah, I think I think for two, you say three, one, fair dues, man.
Speaker: It's an interesting game because obviously they've got players that can hurt you as well.
Speaker: Like not to your quality, not to your calibrate.
Speaker: But they can score goals like Chris Wood can score goals.
Speaker: Carlton O'Doye can score goals.
Speaker: And Lange can score goals.
Speaker: Lange, what a player, by the way.
Speaker: What a player.
Speaker: What's the guy in the middle of his name?
Speaker: The captain, Gibbs White.
Speaker: He's a decent player.
Speaker: He's a good player.
Speaker: Gibbs White, yeah.
Speaker: Nuno has done all right.
Speaker: He's done all right there since taking over.
Speaker: So we'll see.
Speaker: We'll see.
Speaker: It should be an interesting game, to be fair.
Speaker: I still think you'll win, easily win.
Speaker: It could be as easy as Palace.
Speaker: I don't want to contradict myself.
Speaker: No, no, of course.
Speaker: It could well be the game of the week, at least for that day.
Speaker: But obviously, don't forget, we've got Villa Newcastle later on in the evening as well.
Speaker: So that could definitely has the recipe for the game of the week.
Speaker: There's a bit of payback because Newcastle slapped them.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And everybody thought they were going to struggle.
Speaker: So we'll see.
Speaker: That was the first game of the season, wasn't it?
Speaker: Yeah, first game of the season.
Speaker: First game of the season, yeah.
Speaker: Or 4-1 or something silly like that.
Speaker: I was at a bachelor's party for that.
Speaker: And I remember watching it live in a club somewhere.
Speaker: And yeah, obviously with Newcastle fans around me because it was in Newcastle.
Speaker: And yeah, I remember watching that match.
Speaker: And I was obviously, you know, got carried away with the whole Newcastle support at that time before obviously that bullshit happened.
Speaker: So before I put the curse on them.
Speaker: But anyway, moving on, we've got Fulham Everton at Fulham.
Speaker: What are we thinking?
Speaker: Everton just lost in the FA Cup to Luton.
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: So, you know, they need to respond.
Speaker: They need to.
Speaker: I don't think it's Fulham.
Speaker: Where is it at?
Speaker: Is it Goodison or Fulham?
Speaker: It's at Fulham.
Speaker: It's at Fulham.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Probably 1-0 Fulham.
Speaker: I can't see Everton doing anything.
Speaker: I really worry for Everton.
Speaker: They've got more sanctions coming towards their way.
Speaker: I think players are going to start looking for a way out and down tools.
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.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, I agree.
Speaker: I agree with you.
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.
Speaker: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker: They do, but I'm just thinking another sanction, another 10-point deduction for Everton.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: They're at the bottom of the league.
Speaker: I agree.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Dead last, and there's no way coming back from that.
Speaker: So I think I'm going to go 3-0 Follum.
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.
Speaker: They're going to be slapped about by Sean Dyche.
Speaker: But I don't think they're going to respond because of the reasons that you just mentioned.
Speaker: So I agree.
Speaker: I agree.
Speaker: I can't see them scoring.
Speaker: Similar to you.
Speaker: 2-0.
Speaker: I said 1-0 to start with.
Speaker: But now that I heard they got beat and playing them so soon and beating at Fulham.
Speaker: I'm going to give him an extra goal for them.
Speaker: So hopefully him in his squad.
Speaker: I think I've got two players.
Speaker: I think I've got two players to play or a few players to play.
Speaker: I can't remember.
Speaker: I've still benched Salah, Son.
Speaker: I've not even changed.
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.
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.
Speaker: I'm going with cheaper options so I can afford Haaland and Salah when they come back.
Speaker: But I hope, well, I don't think, Egypt are out, aren't they?
Speaker: Are they out now?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I think they lost or something.
Speaker: He's injured anyway, isn't he?
Speaker: He's injured for like the next month or something.
Speaker: Oh, there you go then.
Speaker: So happy days.
Speaker: And obviously when we get to that Chelsea-Liverpool match.
Speaker: He's not there.
Speaker: No, he's not.
Speaker: So it's going to be fun.
Speaker: Yeah, he ain't there, bro.
Speaker: But next match, we've got Luton-Brighton.
Speaker: It's at Luton.
Speaker: And obviously, you know, Brighton won in the FA Cup, Luton won in the FA Cup, so two teams coming in.
Speaker: I think Luton might win it, you know.
Speaker: I was going to say that.
Speaker: I genuinely was.
Speaker: I was thinking like a 1-0.
Speaker: Luton might take it.
Speaker: Yeah, something silly.
Speaker: 1-0, 2-1.
Speaker: Like a one goal difference.
Speaker: 1-0 drop back.
Speaker: Like scrappy.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: 1-0 drop back, mate.
Speaker: Take the lead and just do that.
Speaker: In a way, I mean, Pedro Porras will score because he's definitely on my fantasy team.
Speaker: But yeah, no.
Speaker: I want Luton to win.
Speaker: I don't know why.
Speaker: Not a hatred, but like a real dislike for Brighton.
Speaker: But absolutely...
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
Speaker: Hate is a strong word.
Speaker: I just dislike him.
Speaker: I'm going to just go with I just dislike him for now.
Speaker: I think they shafted you and Liverpool, to be honest.
Speaker: Oh, shafted.
Speaker: Yeah, completely.
Speaker: Who's the guy that the World Cup winner that they got?
Speaker: McAllister.
Speaker: McAllister, yeah.
Speaker: How much was he, by the way?
Speaker: Wasn't it like 50 or something?
Speaker: No, it wasn't 50.
Speaker: 35, I think.
Speaker: 35, yeah.
Speaker: 35.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: 35.
Speaker: Phil.
Speaker: You guys got shafted.
Speaker: We received a double shafted.
Speaker: We received a gang.
Speaker: You've got a double penetration right there.
Speaker: I'm not going to lie to you.
Speaker: And the rest.
Speaker: Todd Bowley's sitting down ever since.
Speaker: You've got blacked raw.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Anyways, kids, stay off the internet.
Speaker: It's bad out there.
Speaker: Of course, it was for kids.
Speaker: It wasn't for you.
Speaker: You do what you want.
Speaker: You're a grown ass man.
Speaker: It's cool.
Speaker: It's cool.
Speaker: It's cool.
Speaker: I don't watch any of that.
Speaker: I don't know what it is.
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
Speaker: was just on each other.
Speaker: It wasn't like, sort of like, trying to attract opposite sex or anything like that.
Speaker: It was literally just us boys.
Speaker: I was trying to hit on women, but it was, yeah, this time it was the boys, yeah.
Speaker: It wasn't hitting on the boys, it was just, you know, just the boys.
Speaker: Let's just be clear about that one, okay?
Speaker: Stay off the internet, kids.
Speaker: So yeah, one-nil lute I do.
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
Speaker: But I just paid for this.
Speaker: And obviously we were, what, students-ish?
Speaker: Yeah, I think we were students.
Speaker: Obviously, we didn't really have the money.
Speaker: So when we paid for a drink, we wanted it to last at least half an hour.
Speaker: It wasn't kind of like, oh, down in one second.
Speaker: I think we made the rule afterwards, didn't we?
Speaker: You have to have your drink for a bit before you actually do that.
Speaker: It became silly.
Speaker: Can we...
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.
Speaker: My body doesn't work yet, exactly.
Speaker: Actually, do you know what?
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.
Speaker: The day?
Speaker: Singular?
Speaker: I'm talking days.
Speaker: You're right, you're right.
Speaker: You're absolutely right.
Speaker: You're absolutely right.
Speaker: I get man flu, and it used to be three days.
Speaker: I used to say to my wife, well, even now, I say to my wife, it's fine.
Speaker: Second and third day, I'll be all right.
Speaker: I'll be fine.
Speaker: Only three days.
Speaker: Five days, bro.
Speaker: Five days to a week.
Speaker: I'm like, oh my God, I'm actually, I can't get up.
Speaker: I'm drained.
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.
Speaker: And then this motherfucker decides to stay until day six.
Speaker: I'm like, oh my God, what is wrong with me?
Speaker: And it's old age.
Speaker: It's a guest that overstays his welcome.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: Right, next game.
Speaker: We've got Crystal Palace, Sheffield United.
Speaker: Oh, Palace against Sheffield United.
Speaker: It's at Palace.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I mean... They need to respond, but then Sheffield is just going to make it there.
Speaker: I think it'll be a draw, to be fair.
Speaker: I think I'm going to go for 1-1.
Speaker: I know you wanted to go first on this one.
Speaker: I'll jump the gun.
Speaker: No, no, that's fine.
Speaker: That's fine.
Speaker: I'm just going to go for a 1-1.
Speaker: I don't really care for it either way, but just making a prediction.
Speaker: 1-1.
Speaker: Do you know what it is, right?
Speaker: I think I'm going to go with a Palace win.
Speaker: I'm just looking at that match and then Palace just sort of pop out at me that they're going to win.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: I think it's going to be 2-0 Palace.
Speaker: Oh, wow.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: That's a bold prediction.
Speaker: It really is.
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.
Speaker: That's what I think.
Speaker: But no, 2-0 could easily happen.
Speaker: Could easily happen.
Speaker: They'll score first and then they'll come out and score again.
Speaker: So, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: I can see it happening.
Speaker: But for me, I just think 1-1.
Speaker: I don't know why McBride or whatever his name is a ginger kid up top.
Speaker: McBurney, McBride.
Speaker: McBurney, McBurney, isn't it?
Speaker: McBurney.
Speaker: Yeah, McBurney, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, McBurney is at Everton.
Speaker: McBurney, so maybe he'll get a goal, a header or something, and then Palace will score as well, so yeah.
Speaker: My boy, Alisa.
Speaker: My boy, Michael Alisa.
Speaker: He's quality.
Speaker: And again, another player that I would love to buy.
Speaker: And Palace, obviously, they need money.
Speaker: So I think that's one player that I would urge Arteta to purchase for the next season.
Speaker: There'll be a million wars for him, though.
Speaker: Come in the summer.
Speaker: City won him.
Speaker: Chelsea won him.
Speaker: Arsenal won him.
Speaker: I think a lot of teams.
Speaker: United won him.
Speaker: If he's clever enough, he wouldn't pick.
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
Speaker: That's cheap, by the way.
Speaker: Because obviously if they sell Foden for like 90, 100, 110, whatever.
Speaker: Because I'm just thinking realistically who's going to buy him?
Speaker: The top clubs are going to pay, let's say, three figures.
Speaker: Obviously, it's not three figures.
Speaker: It's like eight figures.
Speaker: But let's say 100 free figures.
Speaker: Everything's speaking in the million terms.
Speaker: Who's going to really be able to afford Phil Foden?
Speaker: And who's going to pay 100 million for Phil Foden to afford him?
Speaker: So for that reason, I think they'll probably reduce it to like 80 so they can have 80 million profits.
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.
Speaker: Because Guardiola does this, doesn't he?
Speaker: He gets an eye on a player and he buys it when you think, why would you go to City?
Speaker: There's no way for you to play.
Speaker: And then next season, you are the main guy.
Speaker: Unless you're Calvin Phillips and you just don't know what you're doing.
Speaker: He was just shit, though.
Speaker: He was just shit.
Speaker: So he can't blame Pep for that one because it turned out really bad.
Speaker: But I think with City, obviously, their CEO left, didn't he?
Speaker: He went to Man United.
Speaker: He jumped ship.
Speaker: So I don't know.
Speaker: I mean, look at that.
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?
Speaker: They're about to win probably another league.
Speaker: Well, we say the treble.
Speaker: They've probably won everything because they won the Europa, the Super Cups, the World World Cups.
Speaker: Sorry, yeah.
Speaker: That's right, yeah.
Speaker: They actually have, yeah.
Speaker: What is it?
Speaker: The quintuplets?
Speaker: I don't even know what the fuck it is.
Speaker: It's probably five.
Speaker: Whatever the word for five is.
Speaker: Whatever the word for five is.
Speaker: That's what I was trying to find, but no, quintuplets, that's...
Speaker: But at the end of the time, I've got a little question for you to do a little ranking in order.
Speaker: So I heard this question the other day.
Speaker: Some of the lads were talking at work.
Speaker: They said, I think they heard it on Talkshake.
Speaker: But I thought like, oh, I'll ask Larry on how he orders one to five.
Speaker: I think it was one to five.
Speaker: Yeah, one to five, one to four, whichever way.
Speaker: But I'm going to give you some scenarios and then you can tell me what's like.
Speaker: Great one.
Speaker: But yeah.
Speaker: So, okay.
Speaker: So Palace for you then.
Speaker: Who else is on a Wednesday?
Speaker: And then we've got, well, this is Tuesday, by the way.
Speaker: So, the last game of the day is Aston Villa versus Newcastle at Villa Park.
Speaker: What do you think?
Speaker: Oof.
Speaker: Oof.
Speaker: I'm hoping Villa goes strong.
Speaker: I want Villa, to be fair.
Speaker: I think Villa... I'll take that L. I don't know.
Speaker: I just, I don't know.
Speaker: I'm thinking I want Villa, but then again, do I want Villa to win?
Speaker: Because they're going to play Chelsea in the FA Cup, and I don't really want them to be in a high.
Speaker: Okay, obviously what I want doesn't matter.
Speaker: I think Villa will win.
Speaker: I think Villa are going to win.
Speaker: It's going to be a big game.
Speaker: I think it's going to be a high-scoring game.
Speaker: For some reason, I can see this being a 4-2 and I can see Villa scoring all four goals.
Speaker: I think Ezek will score goals, so I think I'm going to go 4-2 Villa.
Speaker: 4-2 Villa?
Speaker: That's madness.
Speaker: I think they're going to take the L. I think they're going to take the L.
Speaker: 2-2.
Speaker: Put me down for a 2-2.
Speaker: 4-2.
Speaker: Put you down for a 2-2.
Speaker: Because Watkins isn't really fiery at the minute.
Speaker: So yeah, but put me down for a 2-2.
Speaker: 2-2.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I was going to say 3-1 Newcastle, to be honest with you.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I think because Newcastle, they've been well-rested.
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
Speaker: They've had time to look forward to this match.
Speaker: So, yeah, I think for that reason, I think I'll put myself down for a 3-1.
Speaker: You paid myself down for a 3-1.
Speaker: Love that.
Speaker: 3-1.
Speaker: I think Isak may get a double.
Speaker: Unfortunately, Anthony Gordon, as much as I don't care for him, he'll probably score as well.
Speaker: But there you go.
Speaker: He's quality, though, isn't he?
Speaker: Isak, we say this in every episode.
Speaker: Isak, yeah.
Speaker: He is quality.
Speaker: Because speaking of Newcastle quickly, they're trying to offer Callum Wilson to Chelsea because they know Chelsea need a striker.
Speaker: They're like, oh, you know, buy Callum Wilson so that they can be their financial fair play.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Again, you're trying to get shafted, bro.
Speaker: You're trying to shaft you up again.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: He's better than what we've got, though, mate.
Speaker: But it depends on what price.
Speaker: Is Callum Wilson going to cost 50 million?
Speaker: Let's be realistic.
Speaker: Injury prone as well?
Speaker: Yeah, injury prone.
Speaker: They'll want as much as they can to kind of balance the books.
Speaker: But we need to stay away from that.
Speaker: What we need to come back is with a counteroffer and say, give you 80 million for Isak.
Speaker: How's that grab you?
Speaker: And then really test the waters with that and see how much are they willing to sell Isak.
Speaker: Obviously, I don't know.
Speaker: I mean, I don't know about Chelsea's finances, but obviously they're probably toeing the line of FFP as well.
Speaker: We are past the line.
Speaker: The line is a dot to you.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: The line is a dot to you.
Speaker: That's what Todd can see.
Speaker: That's why there's rumors of selling Conor Gallagher and Armando Breuer.
Speaker: That's probably the best thing that you guys can do.
Speaker: Probably.
Speaker: But again, who's going to buy them for a decent price?
Speaker: We probably need to generate around 90 million.
Speaker: Can we sell them both for 45?
Speaker: Or can we sell one for 50 and the other one for 30?
Speaker: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker: Who's dumb enough to spend the money?
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.
Speaker: Gallagher is a 60, 70.
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.
Speaker: We rejected an offer.
Speaker: Rumor was today we rejected an offer from an unnamed Premier League club because Chelsea are holding out for 35 million for Breuer.
Speaker: For Breuer?
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: Keep him.
Speaker: Keep him.
Speaker: Let him warm your bench.
Speaker: Because we need to make sure that we meet financial fair players.
Speaker: If he warms your bench right, that means that you don't spend that much on heating.
Speaker: So technically, he'll be saving a bit of money as well.
Speaker: Yeah, especially with... There you go.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: That's why I didn't become a financial advisor.
Speaker: But... Okay, that's fine.
Speaker: So next day, Wednesday, we've got first game of the night.
Speaker: Man City Burnley.
Speaker: Sorry, I don't even know why I asked that.
Speaker: Should we just move on from that one?
Speaker: Do you want to answer it?
Speaker: Go on, you go first on this one.
Speaker: What are you going to say?
Speaker: I think... I think... I'm going to keep it short and sweet after you.
Speaker: I think City are going to fucking kill them.
Speaker: And I think it's going to be 4-5-0.
Speaker: Like, I'm going to go 4-0.
Speaker: Fuck it.
Speaker: Yeah, I think 4-0 as well.
Speaker: You've got to be ruthless against them just to be like, yeah, we are here and we will win the league again.
Speaker: And I think this match, probably Kevin De Bruyne will start.
Speaker: And if he starts game over already, he might as well just end the game.
Speaker: Just forfeit, give him the 3-0 and then you won't be embarrassed.
Speaker: So, yeah, moving on.
Speaker: Tottenham-Brenford, London derby, another one in the long, long line of London derbies.
Speaker: London derbies, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker: But I think Spurs will win.
Speaker: I think Spurs will beat him.
Speaker: I think Ivan Tone is obviously a fairytale heroic return for some stupid reason.
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.
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.
Speaker: And all of a sudden now he's back from doing something.
Speaker: Good Samaritan work.
Speaker: Ivan Jesus.
Speaker: Literally that guy.
Speaker: Ivan Teresa.
Speaker: That's what I was going with.
Speaker: Ivan Teresa in my head, but you beat me with Ivan Jesus.
Speaker: I don't think he'll do anything, to be fair with you.
Speaker: I feel like I've got a sour taste for Ivan Jesus simply because of Berenford wanting 100 million.
Speaker: It's not his fault, is it?
Speaker: It's not really his fault, but it's not his fault.
Speaker: You hear his name and you think, eh, simply because of the 100 million asking price.
Speaker: But anyway, without getting sidetracked, yeah, I think Spurs will win.
Speaker: I'm hoping Spurs will win because I just don't feel for Brentford.
Speaker: I hope 3-1 Spurs.
Speaker: See, I don't know how to... I'm feeling the same way, like, you know, how you feel about Ivan Toney.
Speaker: I feel about Spurs.
Speaker: I'm like, right, my head says that Spurs will win, but my heart wants Brentford to fucking kill them.
Speaker: So I'm just going to meet somewhere in the middle and I'm going to... Fuck it.
Speaker: Look...
Speaker: We've talked about these predictions and the way that we predict them.
Speaker: They have to be realistic, not what we want.
Speaker: So I'm going to go with the Tottenham win.
Speaker: I think maybe 1-0 Tottenham.
Speaker: I don't think they're going to score more than that, to be honest.
Speaker: Unless Werner obviously decides to make this one of those games where he scores and then he doesn't score for another 20.
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.
Speaker: Please, please carry on because when someone comes back, you ain't playing no more, bro.
Speaker: I don't think he'll get in the game yet.
Speaker: But yeah, I think Tottenham are going to win as much.
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,
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
Speaker: But yeah, no, I think I'm with you.
Speaker: I think Spurs will win, but I think it'll be more of a 3-1 rather than a 1-0.
Speaker: Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker: I can definitely see that as well, to be honest.
Speaker: But I'm just thinking maybe Thomas Frank, he's not going to be stupid enough to go out all attacking.
Speaker: But there you go.
Speaker: I mean, Kulusevski on the break, Bentancur, you've got Werner, who's a fast player, Richaldison's a fast player.
Speaker: So, you know, they have players to hurt you.
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.
Speaker: However, the way that they play are absolute trash, garbage shit.
Speaker: But anyways, moving on.
Speaker: And last game of the day, Liverpool, Chelsea at Anfield.
Speaker: Rick, should I take this one first?
Speaker: Take, go first.
Speaker: Should I take first?
Speaker: Okay, I think I'm going to take it first.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Now, the way I look at this is,
Speaker: I can see, like my head says Liverpool are going to win.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Because I'll tell you.
Speaker: No, but I'm sorry.
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.
Speaker: I don't know what it is.
Speaker: I've got a funny feeling as good as Liverpool are and can be,
Speaker: I just feel like the final, I don't think Klopp will win it.
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.
Speaker: And I don't know, but Chelsea are going to win that final.
Speaker: But this match, unfortunately, Liverpool will win.
Speaker: And I'm going to go with... I'm going to go with a fucking...
Speaker: I don't know, like a 3-1, 4-1, something like that.
Speaker: Do you know what?
Speaker: I'm going to make it 3-2.
Speaker: I'll make it 3-2.
Speaker: I'll be nice to you.
Speaker: Oh, wow.
Speaker: I can't see you scoring 3-2, to be fair.
Speaker: I'm with you in the terms of Liverpool really being the favourites to win it.
Speaker: I think it's a draw.
Speaker: The only reason I think it's a draw is... It's not bad.
Speaker: And that's a great result for us.
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,
Speaker: Against Chelsea, there's that little sort of a recent rival reason, there's the Mourinho, Benitez.
Speaker: So it kind of has the feel of a Champions League night, effectively, being on a Wednesday night.
Speaker: So it's going to be tough for us.
Speaker: One thing is Sobisla is probably still injured, I think.
Speaker: I don't know if he's returning.
Speaker: Trent is out.
Speaker: Yeah, Trent's out.
Speaker: Salah's out.
Speaker: And if Trent is out, Salah's out.
Speaker: Don't get me wrong, they've still got Diaz, Nunes, Jota.
Speaker: I think Diaz may be off as well because I think he just had a kid, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker: That sounds amazing.
Speaker: I wish him all the very best.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: He can take care of the kid.
Speaker: Stay out there, bro.
Speaker: I'm sure you're feeling the same when you play Liverpool the week off.
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: So, yeah, stay out there, kid.
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: But moving on to our thinking, I think it'll be a draw.
Speaker: I think it'll be a draw.
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.
Speaker: But everywhere else they're strong.
Speaker: But Sterling against the new kid, if Sterling plays on the left back, come on, I'm expecting Sterling to torture Bradley.
Speaker: I think his name was Bradley.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I'm expecting him to touch.
Speaker: Then what do you do?
Speaker: Because we don't have anybody else in the box.
Speaker: Then what do you offer?
Speaker: Then where do you go from there?
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.
Speaker: Because if Liverpool score first, then it could be the floodgates opening.
Speaker: We could really see a Man United against Liverpool.
Speaker: I don't think it's going to be like that.
Speaker: The last... Right, so here's something interesting.
Speaker: So the last eight meetings between Liverpool and Chelsea...
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
Speaker: Let's not go before that because it's not good reading for you.
Speaker: But so my point being this like it's got draw written.
Speaker: It's got a draw written all over it.
Speaker: But I thought three two.
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.
Speaker: I'll stick with those still sticking to Liverpool three to that.
Speaker: I can see it.
Speaker: It's players like Jota that really scare me, really, really scare me.
Speaker: And we're still we're still defensively.
Speaker: We're a young defensive team.
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
Speaker: It's interesting, but I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker: I'm hoping to have a decent performance like we did against the big boys.
Speaker: You, City, Spurs, Arsenal.
Speaker: Well, Arsenal is you, but yeah, Liverpool as well, especially that first game of the season.
Speaker: The one thing that's kind of given me a bit of confidence, no Salah, no Schauber-Sly in the middle.
Speaker: Hopefully 38 and Jonesy can play.
Speaker: And no Trent.
Speaker: Trent with the passes is a killer passes.
Speaker: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: I agree with you.
Speaker: He's incredible.
Speaker: But we've got our own problems as well because how would I start that?
Speaker: That's keep the same back four that started against Aston Villa, to be honest with you.
Speaker: Badish Shield, although he didn't offer much going forward, he was pretty defensive.
Speaker: He was pretty solid at the back until he got moved into centre defence.
Speaker: And all of a sudden, he was just like, mistake.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: He couldn't seem to sort his feet out.
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.
Speaker: So maybe Chilwell will start, maybe Mudrick will start.
Speaker: Maybe he can get a Breuer in there, I'll be honest with you.
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.
Speaker: That's it, that's it.
Speaker: We need somebody to pick up.
Speaker: Two monster defenders.
Speaker: And you hope that he's just going to be up for the challenge.
Speaker: Yeah, I hope he's going to take the occasion.
Speaker: Yeah, that's the word.
Speaker: Rise to the occasion.
Speaker: And send a message.
Speaker: You're trying to sell me?
Speaker: Don't sell me.
Speaker: I'm Chelsea through and through.
Speaker: This is what I can do.
Speaker: But you need to show that because at the end of the day, we're in a results business.
Speaker: And if you're not scoring and performing,
Speaker: Here's a dog.
Speaker: It means absolutely nothing.
Speaker: So for me, yeah, 1-1.
Speaker: The result is 1-1 or 0-0.
Speaker: That's fair.
Speaker: I think it's going to be a bar 0-0.
Speaker: I'll be honest with you.
Speaker: It's got the hype to be like, oh, what a game.
Speaker: I think it's going to be a bar 0-0.
Speaker: But I'm going to go for a 1-1.
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.
Speaker: I'm calling that because he's playing against my team.
Speaker: It's too good.
Speaker: If you haven't been following the podcast, we really rate Diogo Jota.
Speaker: And then on Thursday, we've got West Ham-Bourmouth.
Speaker: What are we thinking?
Speaker: Do some quickfire ones?
Speaker: Quickfire ones, West Ham-Bourmouth, West Ham 2-1.
Speaker: West Ham 2-1.
Speaker: I'm going to go with... I'm going to go 2-0 West Ham on that one.
Speaker: And then we've got Wolves, Man United at Wolves.
Speaker: Man United are getting beat at Wolves.
Speaker: 2-1 Wolves.
Speaker: You read my mind.
Speaker: You read my mind.
Speaker: I'm going to... O'Neill's beating Eric.
Speaker: Oh, Neal's very in Eric.
Speaker: I love it.
Speaker: Gary versus Eric.
Speaker: I'm going to go with Gary's.
Speaker: We're going to go with Gary's on this.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, I think Wolves, I'm going to say 1-0 to Wolves.
Speaker: It's going to be a tight game, but I think they'll steal it right at the end.
Speaker: But yeah, look, Rick, predictions.
Speaker: We got through them.
Speaker: We got through some predictions, and hopefully we'll be back on Friday.
Speaker: or maybe even Thursday evening.
Speaker: We could do Thursday evening.
Speaker: Thursday evening because... We can't predict for the weekend because there's a huge game on the weekend.
Speaker: It's Arsenal, Liverpool.
Speaker: Liverpool, yeah.
Speaker: So it should be an interesting game for you guys.
Speaker: So here's the scenarios, right?
Speaker: Go on, hit me with some scenarios.
Speaker: Before we go, because I'm cautious of the time as well.
Speaker: Do it, do it.
Speaker: And I want you to rank them.
Speaker: In your mind, what is the best?
Speaker: Like, wow.
Speaker: My team to be able to do that.
Speaker: So I'm going to go with the first one because your team's already done it.
Speaker: So going unbeaten.
Speaker: So the invincible.
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
Speaker: So, so far we've got four things, yeah?
Speaker: So, invincible, no particular order.
Speaker: I want you to rank them like what you think is like really good achievement for a team.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah, so invincible, four in a row, quadruple, treble, or the alternative.
Speaker: I'm just going to throw something in there for Chelsea because there was nothing in there for Chelsea.
Speaker: That season when Mourinho took over, we conceded 14 goals all season.
Speaker: I'm going to put that one last.
Speaker: Uh-huh.
Speaker: Yeah.
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
Speaker: Look, I'll be honest.
Speaker: First, it has to be the invincible season.
Speaker: No, behave.
Speaker: I think, I think, I think, I think, listen, listen, listen, listen.
Speaker: My point is right.
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.
Speaker: I just don't think that's a very good achievement.
Speaker: And the fact that two teams have won the treble already.
Speaker: And again, that's not to say that they won't.
Speaker: City is one of those two teams overall.
Speaker: United and City are the only two teams to have done it.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: I agree.
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.
Speaker: in the Premier League without losing a match.
Speaker: Can you just, can you fathom that for a second, please?
Speaker: Your team, your team conceded 14 goals when Mourinho took over, right?
Speaker: And you lost what?
Speaker: You lost one or two matches?
Speaker: I think we lost two matches, yeah.
Speaker: You lost two matches, right?
Speaker: So again, you were close.
Speaker: Points that year.
Speaker: I think we won more matches than obviously you guys.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: I know what you're going to say.
Speaker: I know what you're going to say.
Speaker: 26 wins, 12 draws.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: But we didn't lose a single fucking match.
Speaker: Not a single match was lost that Premier League season.
Speaker: So I have to put that first because there is no other team that will ever achieve that in the Premier League.
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...
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
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
Speaker: After Chelsea 4th, I do think it's the invincible season.
Speaker: I think winning the trophies, especially the treble, the Premier League and the Champions League, that goes first.
Speaker: Four in a row for City.
Speaker: I'm debating whether it's second or third.
Speaker: That goes second to last, to be honest.
Speaker: I'm just thinking in terms of achievement because City have won that many leagues so far.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
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
Speaker: if Pep Guardiola was at Chelsea, for example, I'm pretty sure he would have won that many Premier Leagues.
Speaker: I don't care about money-wise or whatever.
Speaker: Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker: Yeah, but that's what I mean.
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.
Speaker: Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker: I hear what you're saying, but just being unbeaten is not really enough because you could go unbeaten.
Speaker: They won the Premier League.
Speaker: They won the gold trophy.
Speaker: And the only team to win a gold trophy, by the way.
Speaker: Let's just be honest about that.
Speaker: But I understand what you're saying.
Speaker: For me, it's very much more like of a publicity stunt.
Speaker: It's like,
Speaker: Oh, it was the Concorde.
Speaker: And I get what the Concorde did and then it's subbed and it's never been achieved again.
Speaker: But everybody else can go as fast as that.
Speaker: Okay, not in a commercial airline, but Jets are going as fast as that sort of thing.
Speaker: Yeah, but we're talking commercial airlines.
Speaker: That's not the same league.
Speaker: That's not the same category, though, is it?
Speaker: For me, it's not that great.
Speaker: It's great, don't get me wrong, and I'm not shitting it.
Speaker: It is great, but it definitely is not the best.
Speaker: Until another team achieve that, I don't think that will be beaten.
Speaker: And that's why...
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
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.
Speaker: Because I watched the majority of those matches.
Speaker: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: That's why I think so.
Speaker: It's not treble winning, bro.
Speaker: Treble winning is something different.
Speaker: Two teams have done it, though.
Speaker: So it's very achievable.
Speaker: It's very achievable.
Speaker: Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker: Liverpool h ad a chance to win a quadruple.
Speaker: I don't think anybody else has done it.
Speaker: Look, that's why I go back to what I said about City.
Speaker: It's squad depth.
Speaker: That's why they have the ability to do that because they can put in the players to slot in those positions.
Speaker: And Liverpool team... You guys had a squad depth, didn't you?
Speaker: Like out of everybody else back then, you guys had a squad depth in that season that you went unbeaten.
Speaker: You had a pretty decent squad.
Speaker: Pretty big enough squad.
Speaker: Oscar Sigan.
Speaker: Well, fair enough.
Speaker: But if you're going to pick out individual players like fucking Bob for City, for example.
Speaker: Hey, Bob's been fucking scoring, mate.
Speaker: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker: Oscar Bob's been scoring for him.
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.
Speaker: Listen, I'm not shitting it.
Speaker: What you guys that unbeaten season is incredible and it's incredible to have the goal trophy, like you say.
Speaker: But for me personally, again, is Champions League number one, first of all, like obviously the creme de la creme of trophies.
Speaker: OK, Premier League is tougher because you've got to be consistent for 38 games.
Speaker: Champions League, you've got to be consistent for six and then it's knockout football.
Speaker: You can probably fire yourself up for that.
Speaker: But to be able to win the league,
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
Speaker: I hear what you're saying, it won't probably be beaten again in our lifetime.
Speaker: The way things are going now, teams are always scrapping for 1-0 and you end up losing.
Speaker: Liverpool did it with Watford, lost 3-0.
Speaker: And then Arsenal messaged them on Twitter saying, thank you Watford and then smashed them next week.
Speaker: I think it was like 4-1 or 4-something else.
Speaker: And that was Liverpool's only loss, I think, that year when they won the title.
Speaker: It was one loss.
Speaker: One loss and that was against Watford.
Speaker: Because they came very close.
Speaker: They came so close to being, what's it called?
Speaker: Invincible.
Speaker: But yeah, out of those four scenarios, for me, it's fourth best.
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
Speaker: In the Champions League.
Speaker: In the Champions League.
Speaker: Because I think they won every game in the knockout stage.
Speaker: And then I think they drew.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Did they lose a game in the group stage?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I thought they lost to Leipzig or something.
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.
Speaker: 38 games, mate.
Speaker: 38 games.
Speaker: But title is title.
Speaker: Invincible, Invincible.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: It's one competition that you are invincible on.
Speaker: That's where I'm at.
Speaker: That's fair.
Speaker: I'm all for trophies.
Speaker: But listen, I'm not shitting about it.
Speaker: I'm not being petty.
Speaker: I think it's incredible what they've done.
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.
Speaker: The only reason I put Liverpool's... And you can't, you can't by the way, you can't.
Speaker: It's lowered that, it's simply because it's Europa League and not Champions League.
Speaker: You can't do it, yeah, that doesn't count.
Speaker: That doesn't count, I'm afraid.
Speaker: Sorry Liverpool fans, it doesn't.
Speaker: It just doesn't, that's it.
Speaker: It's not the same.
Speaker: They can win the treble.
Speaker: No, they can't win the treble.
Speaker: No, they can't.
Speaker: They can't win the treble.
Speaker: The only treble they can win is, again, domestic treble.
Speaker: Domestic treble, yeah.
Speaker: Domestic treble.
Speaker: It's not the same thing.
Speaker: The treble.
Speaker: I agree.
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.
Speaker: It's just, hey, look, don't get me wrong.
Speaker: Shit, I would love to win the Champions League.
Speaker: Let's not make any mistake about that, right?
Speaker: I would love to win the Champions League.
Speaker: 100%.
Speaker: But I just feel like, with the treble, the fact that two teams have done it, if City hadn't done it, and...
Speaker: and Man United were the only ones, probably that could go first.
Speaker: But the fact that two teams have done it, that means that it's very doable.
Speaker: Very, very doable.
Speaker: Oh, it's doable.
Speaker: Anything is doable, but it's very difficult to be doable.
Speaker: That's the only thing.
Speaker: You've got to invest a lot and you've got to have the right manager.
Speaker: Because even like...
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Anything is doable in a sense of like the way I look at it.
Speaker: You could be invincible if it's doable, but it's very difficult to be invincible.
Speaker: And the level of difficulty, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker: It's a level of difficulty.
Speaker: It's increasing every year.
Speaker: And obviously, you know, Premier League is getting tougher and tougher.
Speaker: That's why I'm putting it first.
Speaker: That's why I'm putting it first.
Speaker: That's fine.
Speaker: That's fine.
Speaker: Look, fair enough.
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.
Speaker: If things are getting more difficult each year, Invincible may not happen, but then you surely... Anyway, we can talk about this.
Speaker: Not necessarily about it.
Speaker: Until the sun comes home or the cows come home, whatever that saying is.
Speaker: Because I'm just looking at the time.
Speaker: It's 1.30.
Speaker: This was meant to be a quick one.
Speaker: I don't understand how we keep doing this.
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.
Speaker: Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker: You have to take into account how well or how badly the other teams around them have performed.
Speaker: That's why I don't class that as like a major achievement.
Speaker: Shit, you won three in a row.
Speaker: All right, nice one.
Speaker: Fourth one.
Speaker: All right, mate.
Speaker: Sound.
Speaker: Do you see what I mean?
Speaker: It gives that.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It gives that vibe.
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.
Speaker: Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker: Like, I totally agree.
Speaker: That's why, that's why they haven't, they've not started it from start to finish.
Speaker: Like last year they were chasing you.
Speaker: This year, they're chasing Liverpool.
Speaker: Previously, I think they beat Liverpool by a point to the league.
Speaker: What was it, like 111 to 110 or wherever it was, like record high points.
Speaker: It's Guardiola, bro.
Speaker: Like all it is is Guardiola.
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.
Speaker: And, you know, it's going to be the same thing again because you get so used to that one type of manager.
Speaker: He just doesn't.
Speaker: We saw our Barca.
Speaker: He was our Barca.
Speaker: He did everything he did at Barca.
Speaker: Then Tito took over.
Speaker: God rest his soul.
Speaker: And then nothing else happened.
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.
Speaker: And he still didn't manage to go invincible.
Speaker: It depends.
Speaker: Because I think like you could easily play for a draw.
Speaker: Like you could play for draws.
Speaker: There is absolutely none of those matches that Arsenal played play for a draw.
Speaker: They went for a win and they had to scrap that shit.
Speaker: Look.
Speaker: Okay, what did TalkSpot say, by the way?
Speaker: What was the top one?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: There's a lot of work came in saying, like, oh, would you rate this?
Speaker: And he's an Arsenal fan, and he did like you.
Speaker: It was like, Invincible, obviously being Invincible.
Speaker: I was like, shut up.
Speaker: No way is it being Invincible.
Speaker: I know it's going to sound a bit difficult to believe.
Speaker: It sounds biased.
Speaker: I'll be honest with you.
Speaker: It sounds super biased.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: I appreciate the explanation you've got.
Speaker: I'm saying it sounds biased to the listeners.
Speaker: But the explanation, it doesn't to me.
Speaker: But if the listeners hear it first, they're going to have the same reaction as I did.
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
Speaker: Was it Chelsea that we lost in the semis?
Speaker: Was it the semis?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: What was the semis?
Speaker: The semis?
Speaker: Because we got beat by Monaco in the semis.
Speaker: We're in the bridge squad at Highbury.
Speaker: Last kick of the game in Highbury.
Speaker: That was the season, obviously.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: So it's one of those things.
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.
Speaker: It is the creme de la creme of club football.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: It is absolutely.
Speaker: Elite upon...
Speaker: it's the elitest of the elite, to be fair.
Speaker: You can't get any more elite than that.
Speaker: No, you can't.
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.
Speaker: It's pretty incredible.
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.
Speaker: It's like,
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: Because you think Chelsea won it that first year.
Speaker: Second year was much harder.
Speaker: We won it second year with Mourinho.
Speaker: Third year, we did nothing.
Speaker: Mourinho got sacked.
Speaker: He looked like an average manager because he couldn't adapt.
Speaker: He couldn't change.
Speaker: He became predictable.
Speaker: If the question was who the best manager in the league is, then yeah, absolutely.
Speaker: It's going to be Guadalupe.
Speaker: I get what you're saying.
Speaker: I understand.
Speaker: He's the best in the world.
Speaker: He's incredible.
Speaker: Best in the world, easily.
Speaker: He's incredible.
Speaker: Maybe top three of all time managers ever to grace the pitch, to be honest.
Speaker: He's changed everything.
Speaker: He's changed the way people are playing at grassroots.
Speaker: Fergie was incredible, but Guardiola for me... Fergie did it.
Speaker: Wenger did it when he first started in the Premier League.
Speaker: Obviously, players start with Dias and all that stuff.
Speaker: They're the three that I put kind of in a three, but all those three, I put Guardiola first for some reason.
Speaker: I don't know why.
Speaker: I don't know, maybe because I see him when he's quite recent, and I only had the pleasure of seeing Fergie.
Speaker: No, I think... I've been watching for 10 years before.
Speaker: Probably be top.
Speaker: Yeah, I think Pep takes it.
Speaker: It's just what he's done.
Speaker: Everything that he's done for football is just incredible.
Speaker: Like, everybody seems to want to be playing the way the city.
Speaker: Sometimes it is boring, but, yeah, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker: He gets the results, though.
Speaker: So, there you go.
Speaker: That's all I'm out.
Speaker: No, you're right.
Speaker: We've been going on for a long time, so I'll get this out in the morning.
Speaker: And thank you so much for bearing with us, for listening.
Speaker: We will be back on Friday with some more predictions for the weekend.
Speaker: And if you have any questions, get us on Facebook at TashmikGuys, and yeah, we'll answer those questions for you.
Speaker: We say we answer questions.
Speaker: We've got to ask the question.
Speaker: We still haven't answered, have we?
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: see this is how life gets in the way but that is the weekend with 100% that will be answered we already have our team sorted and yeah but we've gone on for long enough so we'll get this out and then on the weekend we'll be back with the answer for that one for the combined Chelsea Arsenal wasn't it absolutely Chelsea Arsenal combined 11 since we started watching it you know yes since our time watching it yes we're not going to go back into like you know fucking whoever Herbert Chapman or some shit like I'm not into that I don't even know who the fuck that is I just made it up
Speaker: I'm just kidding.
Speaker: I'm just kidding.
Speaker: But so yeah, right.
Speaker: Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker: We'll catch you on the next one.
Speaker: Until then, stay safe.
Speaker: Stay alive.
