Every club. Every day. The Global Sports Podcast Network.
Introduction to the Daily Arsenal Podcast
00:00:08
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Daily Arsenal podcast brought to you as part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. It's Wild Card Wednesday and for a couple of wild cards, we've kind of just been talking about news and stuff, but it's time to
Game of Replacements: Concept Introduction
00:00:19
Speaker
play a game. That's what these things are really for. And this game is inspired by the man who has sat opposite me in terms of, you know, virtual chatting. It is our very own Joshua Duncan. Now, Josh, you brought this up the other day. It is the replacement game. And now you brought it up for one player in particular.
00:00:38
Speaker
but But we will get to that. But before we get started, I've asked you to keep your phone handy. And I'm going to see if I can get permission to share this on our Instagram
Humorous Interlude: Arsenal Logo Christmas Card
00:00:49
Speaker
account. My girlfriend just sent me a picture that her kid has drawn her for a little card that her kid made for her for Christmas. So I'm going to send it over to you now, Josh, I want you to have a little look at it. ah For viewers or for listeners, it's a lovely card with a little Christmas tree and a fireplace. Does it come up for you, Josh?
00:01:05
Speaker
Yeah, I guess. i really right now Yeah. So can you just zoom in on the fireplace for me quickly? There's a little emblem at the top of the fireplace. What does it say? Oh, man. see and Have a little look down at the fire and have a little look at what's in the fire.
00:01:23
Speaker
and ah that's awesome that ah
00:01:28
Speaker
So somehow, in his little Christmas gift to his mother, he has managed to not only send her a lovely card, but also insult me as an Arsenal fan by burning our club's logo in the Christmas fire. Wow.
00:01:43
Speaker
Nivities, mate. It's getting cheeky, man. That's what I'm going to say. Hopefully we'll be able to share that to the Instagram. I've i've crossed out the message, so I'm sure she'll be fine with that. But as it's time to get to the game. So the game that Josh suggested, well what he said to us was if you had to get or if you had to replace Havertz with any number nine, who would it be? Because he was adamant that Chris Wood would be a better option than Havertz up front.
Who Should Replace David Ryer?
00:02:09
Speaker
There you go. He is insistent still to this moment. So I thought we'd make it a little bit of a wider game. So I've picked six players from the Arsenal team and our job is to find a replacement from the Premier League. The only caveat is that there's going to be a player banned from each selection. So the first one up is David Ryer. So I don't particularly want to get rid of David Ryer, but I needed players from different positions. So sod it. David Ryer is going to be swapped with somebody. Now, the only player from the Premier League that you can't pick to replace him is Alison. You know, arguably the best goalkeeper in the league. So Premier League wise, Josh, if you had to pick a player to like the like, replace Ryer, who would it be and why?
00:03:01
Speaker
Oh, I think there's only one person you can really pick, and I say, Edison, really? You know? Really? Well, I'm not in a moment. I'm trying to stay with the four of yous in at the moment. Oh, goodness me, listeners. Am I allowed to keep David Rea? You are. Just one moment, listeners. We're just going to pause quickly. We might have another member joining us. Hold on two seconds.
00:03:25
Speaker
Well listeners, there's been a sudden change in the air. Something's just happened. I am delighted to say that even though we can't see him, Jamie Patterson has joined us. Jamie, hello. Hey. Oh my gosh. Goodness me. I don't know what's going on. I have no idea if it's my microphone or if it's the MacBook, but I'm here. I'm here. It's just a shame you guys can't see me. We can imagine you, Jamie, and it's as beautiful as it ever would be.
00:03:54
Speaker
We can debate the level of beauty later, but it is as beautiful as it'll ever be. So, Jamie. Jamie, I had just asked Josh a question. We're playing the replacement
Choosing Arsenal's New Left-Back
00:04:07
Speaker
game. So bringing in a player as a direct replacement for an Arsenal player, um I asked Josh who he would bring in to replace David Ryer. The only person that he's not allowed to pick is Alison. And Josh just picked Edison.
00:04:25
Speaker
Considering the form he's in, I thought was a surprising option. There's no one else to pick though, is there? Yes. Absolutely is. What, Oneana? No, definitely not Oneana. No, definitely not. You dirty the Josh name with that, Josh. How dare you? Go, Jamie. would you go, Jamie?
00:04:48
Speaker
Oh my gosh, I actually don't know who I'd go for. I could give you a name. Go on. Bring him back, Emmy Martinez. Oh yeah. World Cup winner.
00:04:59
Speaker
Yeah. Did you see the mistake on Saturday? But did you see the save afterwards? i know but stay ah yeah Brilliant save and then pushed the wall in his neck. Did you see ed did you see Edison's mistake at the weekend? They're going through things, man. They're probably going through Phoebe or something. I don't know, man.
00:05:20
Speaker
It's like a Benjamin Button, they're in reverse aging style at the moment. The only other name I had potentially, because I really like him as Keller, but I don't think he's ready yet to be sort of like a world-beater. Not just yet, not at the minute. I mean, I know that there's been times where we've seen him in in a couple games, but he needs a proper run of games to be really tested. Okay, have you got um another option for us, Jamie, or are you happy to settle for Edison?
00:05:51
Speaker
I think, do you know what, for me, I'm going Emmy Martinez, yeah. Correct. Got to be Emmy Martinez. How dare you, Josh. Sully sitters. I mean, Edison was bad enough, but Anana. Anana. It's all fun and games. I'll just never look at you the same way again.
00:06:09
Speaker
ah The next player up to do an automatic replace for, again, Jamie, as I said to Josh, it's not necessarily that I want to get rid of these players. I just kind of had to pick what might be a problem position or something like that. So I want to get your opinion on a direct replacement first for this player.
Finding a Replacement for Thomas Parti
00:06:27
Speaker
Calla Fiore, the left back. The only player that you can't pick is Andy Robertson. So if you had to replace him with the left back from the Premier League,
00:06:39
Speaker
Who would you go for and away?
00:06:44
Speaker
Do you know what? This is going to really sound surprising, but um ah I've said it so many times and he should be he should be up there as one of England's left backs, but I would go Tyreek Mitchell.
00:07:11
Speaker
there's a reason for that Jamie he's just not good enough but but that but no i think personally i just don't i couldn't ah i can't really give you any other better left back i mean unless you guys are i mean no i'm the better left back i don't know but i'm trying to go through all the other clubs as well all right um i mean by the way you you don't you don't have to say a crystal palace player just because of your girlfriend it is fine to use other players as well i know i know i know all right while you're thinking Jamie what are you thinking about uh an improvement josh who would you go for yeah well
00:07:56
Speaker
I don't want to offend Jamie's girlfriend. so I want to go Ty and Mitchell as well.
00:08:03
Speaker
Wow, that I was not expecting that. That's a safe bet to be fair. I'll make sure she listens. she She does tend to listen into the podcast. So I'll make sure she especially listens to this episode. In that case, I ah deeply apologize. And I always I also choose Ty and Mitchell. I was I was going to suggest possibly Udagi or Eight Nori.
00:08:25
Speaker
Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ain't nor really. That's ah another good shot. Providing he doesn't lose his head at full time. Then. but I mean, we've had players who do that before, you know, and they, Gendouzi didn't last, actually. That's fair. Terrara didn't last either, actually. That's fair. Jacka lasted a while, though.
00:08:46
Speaker
Just about. I know. but yeah It was a bit touch and go, wasn't it? why It was, it really was. So Josh, would you go for Tariq Mitchell or is there another name that is jumping to your mind?
Progressive Midfield Replacements
00:09:00
Speaker
Is there a transfer budget here? No transfer budget. right just like I have no transfer budget in my mind. No, it's just Premier League and not rob Andy Robertson.
00:09:15
Speaker
But what listenson was my pick? Exactly. I've got to make it a bit harder for us.
00:09:24
Speaker
I'll say again, I don't want to offend Jamie's girlfriend, you know. i mean safe you know yeah police say it's it's It's fine. i've been I've been outvoted. It's okay. The palace agenda is true.
00:09:39
Speaker
here on the Arsenal Podcast. It's fine. I won't take offence to it too much, except for deeply in my soul. Okay, that's that's the first section. We've done our first two players. The next two are going to be interesting as well. And I reckon there'll be a real debate about these. So we'll be back just after this message from Zencaster. Here at Global Sports Podcast Network, we spend a lot of time selecting our delivery platform.

00:10:27
Speaker
And welcome back to the Danny Arsenal Podcast. It's part two of our Wild Card Wednesday replacement game. First of all, we brought up Raya, who we ultimately decided Emmy Martinez would replace. And then we brought up Callifiori, and Tyrik Mitchell was the ah it was the decided upon player for no particular reason whatsoever. um The next player, who personally I actually would quite like to see replaced, Thomas Parti.
00:10:55
Speaker
Now, the player that I am banning you from picking is, of course, Rodgeri. in that holding midfield. I think it's perfectly fair. How did I not know that Rodry would be the one player that would get banned? How did I not know? I know, right? I know. It's always as if I'm trying to make it more of a debate than just three men going, yeah, we'll have Rodry. Cool. Next one. So I'm going to throw out a name for my pick. I've actually got two from the same club that I'm kind of deciding upon. Gumerish Ortonali.
00:11:34
Speaker
Really? Yeah, I... You know what? I i actually had Tenali as my pick, funny enough. Yes, Julie. I had two players in my mind. I had Tenali and I had... ah ah is he Is he? I don't know. Sucek, would you consider him in that role? Or am I just thinking completely wrong? or is it West Ham, Sucek. Yeah.
00:12:01
Speaker
a good shout i mean i'd consider it it's a bit of a less failed shout i mean he's a good player for sure you know a bit like gabrielle you know very dangerous from set pieces you know he knows he knows where the net is I mean, yeah, I won't take that away from him. And as me and Joshua discussing on yesterday's podcast, we do play Tony Pulis ball now. So yeah, he's actually he definite get goal that down to the ground. What about you, Josh, that sort of slightly deeper central? would feel You didn't seem particularly impressed by the idea of Sandro Tonali. Well, I don't know if we did any more bets. You know what I mean? I don't know what we did.
00:12:42
Speaker
You went in the book, you didn't even the pitch, you know. I did slightly consider that as an option but I thought I reckon he might get it on control now he's had a year out but but who would you go for then Josh? z would you go
00:12:58
Speaker
wow It's a hard one, because there's no one really screams out in the Premier League apart from Rodry. For me, personally. That's why he made this video hard. Of course. Of course. Especially after that Anana show, I've got to make you sweat, man. You know what? I had to put a good bit on myself, so me and him could both get together. So Josh is choosing Tenali for the afternoons out before the game.
00:13:29
Speaker
that's that's a choice that Maybe he can give you some insights, I can start winning. i mean I think that was half the problem. So yeah, I think he probably can too. Right, okay. We're having Sandro Tonali for Thomas Partey. The next player.
00:13:45
Speaker
Michael Marino because we discussed in a podcast I think on Monday that we don't think he's quite the right player for that sort of left-sided progressive role, ah sort of slightly more attacking minded there to unlock doors. um The only player that I've banned from this is Kevin De Bruyne because I think he'd suit that position very well and he'd be a bit of a natural pick.
00:14:10
Speaker
So to go basically side by side with Erdegard, Josh from the Premier League, who would you like to see? I've got three names down that I'm struggling to pick from. Are there any that jump out to you?
00:14:26
Speaker
It's a hard one because there's there's a few names that I've got. i I just, you know, you're making this really hard for me. Yeah, of course I breakdown for you. got Who have you got? Yeah, what have you got for us?
00:14:39
Speaker
Feed us on your scraps.
00:14:43
Speaker
Well, I've got, what's the guy's name? McAllister. I've got him there. On his basement form. i think I think I just, he just edges it for me. Just on the last recent week. I think he's been amazing. He's been really solid for Liverpool recently. Actually, do you know what? For party, I didn't even think about it. Ryan Gravenberg.
00:15:06
Speaker
Yeah. That would have been a good shout. But we've decided on your betting partner tonight, so it's fine. so So your shout for that would be McAllister then. Yeah. Okay, cool. Jamie, what about you, mate? What do you reckon for that sort of slightly more progressive midfield position? but ah Do you know what? McAllister for me was also in my head. I'm trying to think of anyone else. I'm surprised that a certain Chelsea player hasn't come to any of your minds yet.
00:15:36
Speaker
Our E was ah it was a shout for me as well, but no. I don't want any trusted guys, the rivals, I guess. That's fair, that's a total fair. For that single reason, Cole Palmer, you are out of the discussions. You're a dodgy Stockport lad who plays for Chelsea. No. and my' chippy ches as well yeah I can't actually say that. My missus is from right next to Stockport, so sorry, Helen.
00:15:59
Speaker
ah ykes Christ, with we're bigging up Jamie's girlfriend and assaulting mine. This is this is not a good day for me. Yikes. So what about you, Jamie? Where are you going? Are you going to go in the Callister? I again, I also I'm going on like what JD saying about form. Like, I just think right now, for me. but Okay, cool. Yes, I know we mentioned Cole Palmer. But but Yeah, I would go Macalester. Okay, interesting. So I did have a Liverpool midfielder, but it wasn't Macalester. You're probably going to laugh at me for it. Sloppy Sly. No, Curtis Jones. Hmm. I think you should be banned.
00:16:43
Speaker
What can I say? I quite like him as a player. I mean, and no, it's he's not the best admittedly but he's got a little something to his game that I kind of like his his his aggression and his arrogance the other name which is less controversial would be Eze yeah yeah we've got enough power in the team now don't we ah should we just pick a palace 11 that might be easier at this point just pick the perfect palace 11 to please the patterson's girlfriend
00:17:17
Speaker
ahling would be out a job yeah very yeah and But you know, I'm willing to allow you to, overall me, I think Alexis McAllister is a really good show. And he's been such a brilliant player for Liverpool this season in particular. He's just been, he's been lights out, hasn't he? And he's got, he's got, you know, he's got shots from distance. He's a creative mind. He doesn't mind getting stuck in as well. You know, Argentinian with a very Scottish sounding name, but apparently his family are like Irish.
00:17:48
Speaker
Oh, really? Yeah. are they Yeah. mckea I kind of get it with Macales, but you'd think normally Scottish, wouldn't you? Yeah. but But no, he's he's very Argentinian because I thought it might be sort of like, you know, raising Scotland with Argentinian parents. No, he is Argentinian through and through just with Macalester as a last name, which is I find quite Yeah, that's just a little tip bit of knowledge for you. This is the sort of stuff you get on the Global Sports Podcast Network people. And speaking of the Global Sports Podcast Network, let's have a little message from them. And when we're back, we'll talk about the last two players who need replacing. So we'll be back just after this.

Global Sports Podcast Network. Every club, every day. And welcome back to the third and final part of our Wild Card Wednesday episode, where we play the replacement game. We're very nearly getting to the point that inspired our very own Josh Duncan to come up with this ah come up with this game. But there is a player that I'd like to talk about beforehand. Now, I'm very sad about putting this player in, but I think you can't really replace Saka, because he's perfect.
Who Can Replace Gabrielle Martinelli?
00:19:24
Speaker
You can.
00:19:27
Speaker
with who oh with who but um
00:19:32
Speaker
but so a minute it sala hold on if Would you actually switch him for Salah? I mean, if he's in the discussion of it, Salah's amazing. Like, come on. But hold on a minute, hold on a minute, hold on. Listen, you should know, you should know the rules of the game. And if this was up for discussion, you know very well, JD, that Josh would turn around and say, Salah, you can't, like, Salah can't be picked. So who are you picking? Well,
00:19:58
Speaker
so it's much. We're looking to replace Gabrielle Martinelli, and Salah is banned. Long one.
00:20:08
Speaker
I think you can replace it with anyone, really. Not anyone, but you know, that's not really a hard one. Josh, we're gonna fall out tonight. This has been a back and forth of anyone. I mean, you've got your picks. You've got your picks, you know. I'd like to know a list. I'd like to know your list. We need a good list of players.
00:20:31
Speaker
Yeah, go on Josh, what have you got for us? Give us like your top five. Well, you've got, you've got Gappo, your friend Josh. you know you yeah
00:20:45
Speaker
okay yeah Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, I see. yeah I think that's right for like if you you ask me. Oh, I think I feel they give you the whole. No, I'm being serious. Honestly, all jokes aside, I think at the end of the scene, the numbers are probably going to be roughly the same and unless one of them get injured. So I think that's pretty much like for like. Okay. Also, there are loads now. I mean, if you if I was going to be cheekier. This is a joke, guys. a joke You got you got British.
00:21:16
Speaker
um He's on my list. Is it? Oh, no. Oh, come on. No, he's rubbish. I like him. I like him. He gives you something different, you know, he gives you something like that. Yeah, no goals. Nothing. No crosses. But think about all the set plays he wins and we are the new Stoke. We are Stoke and all now. So, you know, it's no, he's not a serious pick, but he was on my list. Genuinely, he was jaggery. I really also, I bought him on FIFA and he was really good.
00:21:51
Speaker
i wouldn't even touch him on feetfa say He did cost 60 million to be fair. It was quite it was quite a dear day But you know, he did a job for me That's all I can say anybody else that you can think of so got Gack Poe like for like I do actually see where you're coming from with that one Are there any other names that you'd like to see there potentially?
00:22:10
Speaker
and um What are the Newcastle graphs? What is his name? Anthony Gordon. Yeah, Anthony Gordon. Oh, that is an improvement actually, isn't it? I think it's an improvement, yeah. I think he's probably my main pick, Anthony Gordon. Okay, cool. Jamie, what about you, mate? Do you know what? Jamie read my mind that I had Anthony Gordon as my pick. Do you know what, Jamie? I think me and you need to change names.
00:22:36
Speaker
so ah Josh is vibing with you more than me. it's my names But no, I mean, he's a brilliant pick, Anthony Gordon. um I had two others that I kind of wanted to throw into the discussion. I think Jared Bowen is a madly underrated player. I mean, his yeah his finishing is considerably better than Martinelli's as well. Considerably, because let's be honest, as much as I love Gabby, he cannot finish at the moment. It's just not happening.
00:23:06
Speaker
um yeah that is true yeah and the other one i had he doesn't normally play on that side but kudos kudos really yeah i think he's quality mate i think he's absolute quality and don't know um I don't know on the left. i don't know that but that's the That's the only problem that I had with it, really, is that it would be on the left. So my my pick originally was going to be Bowen, but I actually quite like the Anthony Gordon shout because he's just a he's a firecracker, isn't he? Yeah, he is.
00:23:38
Speaker
He changes games instantly. I mean, this kind of brings us on to the whole reason that we're playing this game. It is the final pick and it hurts my heart, and I'm sure it hurts your heart Jamie to say as well, that in this game we are going to be replacing Kai Havertz like the lake.
Debating Kai Havertz's Replacement
00:23:54
Speaker
This is say the this is goingnna this is Josh's favourite episode that he's ever recorded because he's finally in theory going to be getting rid of Kai Havertz and the player the player that I am banning you from picking is Chris Wood.
00:24:11
Speaker
but No, you're not you're not allowed to pick Harland, obviously. So no Harland. Do you know show what? Neither do I. but like I don't know about you boys, but obviously his current form is not good. he's he's a deep He's a good finisher when he's got the ball at his feet and he's in the six yard box, but he can't do anything else other than that really. Yeah. He doesn't want to have it.
00:24:42
Speaker
Oh, you're pushing my buttons today, Josh. So, centre forwards. Josh, seeing as this is this is the game you wanted to play, you've got the choice to replace it with any Premier League forward. Who would you pick? I've got a short list of four.
00:25:00
Speaker
I mean, you can go around the whole Premier League and see everyone pretty much better. I mean, I'll probably take Vardy over him, right? I'll probably take Mateta over him, right? I'll probably take Jackson over him. I'll definitely take Chris Wood over him, you know.
00:25:15
Speaker
I mean... He's not been in these guys. He's actually not. but The thing is, Mateta I kind of get, actually. Because Mateta's quality, but Jamie... He's really the better player. Jamie Vardy, like, he he goes around and crushes. He's so old now. He can finish. If you put him in that asshole, you'll get more goals. But he didn't want to join us before. I just... I don't know... but i what He didn't want to join us. I think you can... Honestly, I think... and I think we've probably got the worst number nine in the league.
00:25:44
Speaker
Whoa, whoa, the worst. That's a statement there. That's a huge statement. Wow. I i think so. I think so. I mean, I think I'll just about go for him, you know, I have more patience for him for him then then then have it. Is it because he doesn't play for Arsenal? No, it's because I think he's a better football player.
00:26:10
Speaker
do you Do you have him in your ultimate team by any chance, JD? Well, I'm kind of useless out of those things there. I haven't done that in years, so I don't want to do it. But I wouldn't have nothing to gather on your ultimate team, you know? But yeah, I mean, you got on the list, literally. Me and my cousin and my uncle, we had this conversation, right? And we went through the whole Premier League list. And we said, oh, I said, I wouldn't have, I don't think anyone overhabits. I mean, I have loads of people overhabits.
00:26:39
Speaker
Okay, right, let's let's let's have a quick look, shall we? let's go let's get um I'm gonna get this list up now. Right, every every team's number nine. Oh, blimey. There is one player that I've got, there is one player I've got in mind, you might mention him in that list. Okay, go for it. It was actually from last year, so don't worry about it, but yeah. Okay, cool. Who's your player? um I would have gone for Evan Ilsen. Okay.
00:27:08
Speaker
i know it's I know you're kinda giving me a really weird look. I am, yeah. It's so random. That's a really random shot. I mean, look, I know, look, don't get me wrong. I know he's not had a full season yet. And, you know, at the minute, you know, I know he's been a bit, yeah ah he's been a bit goalshy and stuff like that. And pen he's not, he's not been his greatest thing. But I mean, if he was to put him in an Arsenal team, I mean, I'm sure JD would take him over Haber, surely.
00:27:40
Speaker
I think someone's got a gym at our grandpa and they're forcing him to say these things. Jamie, we can't see your video. Are you okay? Yeah, you're right mate. Is this a hostage situation going on?
00:27:55
Speaker
It's random like of really random show Evan Nielsen.
00:28:02
Speaker
I mean, I might keep habits on this one. Jamie, is that genuinely your pick? I'm genuinely curious. No, no, no, no. I mean, it's only because I'm watching West. That is because I'm watching Bournemouth West, to be fair. So in all seriousness, then, who would you go for?
00:28:25
Speaker
um Who's to play? We couldn't pick Harlan, weren't it? Yeah.
00:28:32
Speaker
Um, oh, debating over two. Who are they?
00:28:40
Speaker
E-Zach. I was wondering when his name was going to get brought up. And Ollie Watkins. I'm not sold on Ollie Watkins. I don't know about you, Josh. Nah, he doesn't mean that must have been for me. I've never got drowned in him dinner at Watkins.
00:28:56
Speaker
Wow. ah You know what? Duran was on my list. Jamie, do you write do you rate Watkins over Duran? Oh, no. I do like Watkins, but Duran is just... the The thing is, I do really for John Duran because I'd like to see him get a run of games. And I know like... Yeah, in a moment.
00:29:18
Speaker
Yeah, but I'd like to see that run i'd like to see that run further extended. Do you know what I mean? um you so ah The way he's performing, i mean he scored the absolute screamer, didn't he? Was it was in the Champions League? That sort of top that top corner 30-yard screamer with sort of like his weak foot. It was stunning.
00:29:36
Speaker
And he does. a you Yeah, he does sit down there. He's he's there for the important moments of John Duran. I mean, the other two that I had was I quite like Whissa as well. Oh, yeah. He's getting habits.
00:29:50
Speaker
um and yes Honestly, Josh, under your logic, I'd be better than Havas and I'm an overweight ex-smoker. Honestly, what does he do that you don't think you can't do? That's true. I was considered an aerial threat back in my day because of my massive noggin.
00:30:08
Speaker
He doesn't even go in the air like that. He just kind of floats about. He doesn't really attack the ball, you know? Nah, I haven't got time for him. he He does come across a bit more of a dancer than a football player. Yeah, he does. He might hit me. know
00:30:27
Speaker
ah by go i'm sorry but as jaie you've just spent my night there but i just yeah i mean that ah for For those listening to this, JD just gave us an impromptu version of, ah it looked like Swan Lake.
00:30:46
Speaker
I'm so fed up with him. I'm so fed up with him. I'm, I can't, I can't. Listen, you know, that is here. I've been watching this guy recently. I'm thinking, maybe I'm missing something. You know, maybe I'm, maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the problem here. I'm watching this guy and I'm like, I don't see what he brings. If anything, he's a downgrade in the team.
00:31:04
Speaker
Do you know what? i Like I said the other day, I do actually agree with you that we need to improve on him, massively. I'm i'm at that point where I'm tired of him missing chances and not creating enough. I just don't hate him this viscerally. I can't stand the guy. I never would have guessed. Never would have guessed.
00:31:26
Speaker
The only other name I had was Zhao Pedro, because I quite like him from Brighton. I think he's a decent player. But I'm willing to go with Jamie and say Isaac or Josh and say, let's say Chris Wood. How about this, listeners? You make your mind up who it should be. Should it be Isaac or should it be Chris Wood? We'll have to get a poll out on socials. I think we will do, yeah. And I think it'll be a quite convincing win for one Mr Wood.
00:31:54
Speaker
the way you paid it that other a day i I'm not He has turned into a god

We're going to be sort doing a review of the EFL game and then a little look forward to the weekend. And then our crossover will come on Friday. So after the first game or before the second game. It's a weird one when you, I don't know, do you like playing the same team twice in a week, Josh? I find it irritating.
00:32:56
Speaker
No, it it's just pointless. I don't like it. No, I don't i don't either. No offence to Palace fans, but we don't want to play you twice. but well be You know, this puts me on edge. Like, it really puts me on edge. Oh yeah, that's why the game is going off. I'm really sorry. Yes! Put the weapon down! of That's what you've got to win at that point now, right? No, that's why you're saying all these things.
00:33:20
Speaker
If Jamie doesn't actually have technical issues, it's just that he can't be seen like this. I know, I know. But yeah, no, it puts me, it really does put me on edge because the thing is like, yeah, it just puts me on edge. So please ask and do the job. get us Get us the three points and get us to the next round of the Cow about Cup. And I'll be very happy. Thank you.
