Introduction of Jamie Patterson
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Daily Arsenal Podcast brought to you as part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. It is Friday, which means it's time for our review episode before our West Ham encounter.
00:00:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
And joining me, your host, Josh Vince today, is the first team extraordinaire, the veteran at this point in time, Jamie Patterson.
00:00:29
Jamie
but
00:00:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jamie, great to have you back. How are you doing, my man? You doing good?
00:00:32
Jamie
Yeah, all good. Thank you. All good. I mean, look, it's part of the furniture. What can I say?
00:00:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hey, ah you're a gorgeous part of the furniture.
00:00:40
Jamie
yeah Of course.
00:00:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Dirty, well embroidered. You're fantastic. We're very happy to have you here, Jamie. Of
Recording During Champions League
00:00:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
course we are. um Just a little announcement. Myself and Jamie are recording this at quarter past eight on Wednesday evening.
00:00:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are both watching a Champions League game at the same time.
00:00:55
Jamie
Yeah.
00:00:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jamie, who is it you're watching?
00:00:57
Jamie
So I'm watching Celtic v Club Ruge. Currently, as i so as it stands, it's 0-0, but if Celtic win, I'm pretty sure they would have qualified. That's mad to even think. Celtic would have qualified for the Champions League, despite their 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund a couple match days ago. They've really bounced back strong. So I'm hoping the but hoping the boys can can do something, which, funny enough, Celtic's my second team. and So I'm really watching you closely with a close eye. Who who are you watching?
00:01:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I have over my shoulder, I've got ah Liverpool Real Madrid at Anfield. So there may be moments where my voice gets a little bit quieter because I turned my head away to look at something very quickly.
00:01:36
Jamie
Yeah.
00:01:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we are actually going to focus instead on our trip to West Ham.
Arsenal vs West Ham Historical Performance
00:01:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
First of all, just a little bit of background. We're going to talk about the history of the game. So we've played in the Premier League 56 times against West Ham.
00:01:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
We have lost nine of those games. We've drawn 11. We've won 36.
00:01:56
Jamie
That's that's pretty that's a pretty impressive record.
00:01:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not bad. It's 64% of the games against West Ham in the Premier League.
00:02:00
Jamie
No.
00:02:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
We have beaten them. And by quite a way as well, in terms of the goals scored, do you reckon we are double or triple their goals scored in the fixture?
00:02:15
Jamie
What? In the fixture, uh, Trump.
00:02:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So in Arsenal and West Ham, each team has scored a set amount of goals. Are we double or triple the amount that West Ham has scored?
00:02:24
Jamie
Triple.
00:02:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're only double, fortunately.
00:02:26
Jamie
ah
00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, and i actually you're not. I'll give you the point, two and a half. They've scored 44. We've scored 109 against them.
00:02:34
Jamie
Wow. Okay.
00:02:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Which is insanity. We've also kept 25 clean sheets against them in 56 Premier League games.
00:02:36
Jamie
i Wow. Wow.
00:02:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
which is insane.
00:02:45
Jamie
eyes.
00:02:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jamie, when you think of West Ham as an opponent, what do you generally think of? Do you see them as big rivals or sort of that London rivalry, or do you see them as kind of a team that don't really register too heavily on your radar?
00:02:59
Jamie
Do you know what it is
Analysis of West Ham's Current Form
00:03:00
Jamie
for me? I've always, any any London team, I kind of put form to one side when it comes to a London Derby. You know, we always speak about the North London Derby, about form goes out the window.
00:03:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:11
Jamie
I kind of also see this as, again, you know, London teams can turn up against each other. So look, I know that West Ham haven't had the best of starts this season.
00:03:23
Jamie
I mean, it's been, you know, no one predicted what they did on Monday night against Newcastle.
00:03:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, that was a hell of a turn up, wasn't it?
00:03:30
Jamie
So, you know, again, I'm not expecting this to be like a, ah you know, a rollover of ah of a six nil, but I mean, it would be amazing if we go there, get a victory. You know, we've started to build some momentum now from beating Forrest. So I just hope that we can continue this going into West Ham away.
00:03:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's interesting you say the form thing because um earlier today I was looking at the two teams in terms of how they've been playing this season and I got their last five games.
00:03:57
Jamie
Yeah.
00:04:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
So in Arsenal's last five games in the Premier League, we we've got five points. So not great.
00:04:07
Jamie
Yeah.
00:04:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
How many do you think West Ham have had got in their last five?
00:04:11
Jamie
Um, probably equal five or four.
00:04:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Seven. Seven in their last five they lost 4-1 to Spurs and 3-0 to Forest they drew 0-0 with Everton but they beat United 2-1 and they beat Newcastle 2-0 whereas we in our last five have only won one game which is against Forest and Drew against Liverpool drew against Chelsea and lost to Newcastle and Bournemouth.
00:04:17
Jamie
Wow.
00:04:26
Jamie
Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So Interestingly, they've got seven points with minus three goal difference in those five games Which is quite crazy
00:04:37
Jamie
Of course. Wow. That is that is ridiculous.
00:04:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's kind of crazy. um Do you remember the games last year against West Ham?
00:04:52
Jamie
I mean, i'll remember arab I remember one Declan Rice. I'm number one Declan Rice scoring against West
Memorable Arsenal vs West Ham Matches
00:04:59
Jamie
Ham. And do you know what? The thing is, the one thing I always respect, um, rice for doing was for not celebrating.
00:05:06
Jamie
I have a lot of respect for players that don't celebrate against their old club, especially if they're Arsenal talents who have come from another club and scored. I always respect the fact that they't they don't celebrate.
00:05:17
Jamie
So, you know, and another memory I have from that game is one Ethan Wanyeri, you know,
00:05:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
he might have ah He might have made a small feature.
00:05:28
Jamie
Yeah.
00:05:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I vaguely remember the ah the commentator mentioning he had to go to school the next day and things like that.
00:05:33
Jamie
That's it, yep.
00:05:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
it was sick He was 16 or 15 at the time.
00:05:35
Jamie
Yep, exactly that.
00:05:38
Jamie
I believe he was 16 because it was last season.
00:05:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he was six. It was last season. Yes, it was last season.
00:05:43
Jamie
Yeah.
00:05:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Obviously we played them twice. The first game that we played against them is the game that I did the crossover earlier today. I recorded the crossover with them and I brought up the first game in particular because the first game cost us the title.
00:05:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
When we lost 2-0 at the Emirates on the 28th of December,
00:06:03
Jamie
That's what I can't get over.
00:06:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, after that, we then lost to Fulham as well shortly afterwards, and we sort of had our classic Christmas Boxing Day, New Year's slump, and...
00:06:09
Jamie
Oh, heaven.
00:06:14
Jamie
Please, let's, let's, let's not have a repeat of that again, please.
00:06:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, less not. But you did mention, obviously, the game in which Declan Rice scored, which was... Do you remember how many we scored?
00:06:24
Jamie
Six nil, wasn't it?
00:06:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
6-0. 6-0.
00:06:26
Jamie
6-0, if I'm right, Saka, it was like Trossard with like a top corner goal, which was a beaut.
00:06:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolute blinder.
00:06:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:06:33
Jamie
Saka from the penalty spot, Declan Rice obviously.
00:06:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
yep yeah there was three more yes no Gabrielle didn't get two but one player did get Saliba and one of those players got two
00:06:41
Jamie
gabrielle Gabrielle, did he not get two? Saliba, Saliba was the other one.
00:06:53
Jamie
Sucker.
00:06:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes!
00:06:55
Jamie
Yes.
00:06:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes!
00:06:55
Jamie
Yes.
00:06:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was Saliba, Tifa, Saka, Gabrielle, Truss, Adam, Rice. It was a proper, like, sharing out of the
Amari Hutchinson's Recent Performance
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
goals. It was brilliant.
00:07:03
Jamie
Yeah.
00:07:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Actually, before we move on to our break and we talk about the squads, and there's something that I needed to bring up with you.
00:07:09
Jamie
Oh, God.
00:07:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
um A certain player who you've been singing the praises of had quite a moment. I think it was at this weekend. Amari Hutchinson scored.
00:07:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
equalized against ah Roman Amron's new United team from distance. Yeah, it took a heavy deflection, but I just I just wanted to very quickly here because it just popped into my head.
00:07:28
Jamie
Well.
00:07:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
You've been singing the phrases of Hutchinson all season saying he's the one to look out for. He's on the score sheet, Jamie. He's done it.
00:07:39
Jamie
I mean. Listen, Peter Jory on commentary kind of just, ah, just, he's just, he described it beautifully. And the thing is right, when I heard that Hutchinson had scored, the first thing that came to my mind was fantasy.
00:07:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:07:54
Jamie
And then my girlfriend was like to me, oh, look now, what it's like, look at what they've done now. All you, all like, I hate United, but all I wanted them to do was go and beat Ipswich so that Palace don't sit in the bottom three.
00:08:06
Jamie
And in my head, I'm like, oh, yikes. So at that point I'm like, right, keep quiet, keep quiet.
00:08:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh dear. Can't celebrate too much. yeah
00:08:13
Jamie
Don't say, yeah, don't say anything more. Don't say anything more.
00:08:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah you know i've i've
00:08:17
Jamie
So yeah.
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've had to keep my mouth shut as well because my Mrs. Kids is a city fan and I've had to keep very quiet in the last two days and and we'll come on to exactly why in part three.
00:08:25
Jamie
Oh
00:08:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
But um that's it for part one. When we come back, we're going to talk about the current squads a couple of plays and something I have to confess to you Jamie before you hear it tomorrow.
00:08:38
Jamie
ah dan
00:08:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
um You might be a bit upset with me. So we'll be back just after this message from Zencaster.
00:09:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And welcome back to the Daily Arsenal Podcast. Jamie, you almost covered your face there. Is it still 0-0 in the Celtic game?
00:09:18
Jamie
It's still 0-0. I mean, I kind of, I mean, in my head, I'm just thinking as well, like, Club Rouge went an upset villa. I just, again, don't want them to go and do it at Celtic Park, so.
00:09:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm just looking forward to halfway through us having a discussion, you cheering really loudly with no context whatsoever.
00:09:34
Jamie
Oh, don't, you know what, that that that could happen.
00:09:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's going to be great.
00:09:37
Jamie
that That could happen.
00:09:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:39
Jamie
I'm gonna i'm gonna try and bottle my my emotion. I'm gonna really bottle it, but yeah.
00:09:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
let it be jamie let it be um so we need it's i think i might have just tempted fate there j
00:09:47
Jamie
Oh no! No! Oh
00:10:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I have a feeling it might be 1-0 Club Bruges.
00:10:11
Jamie
oh josh no that's embarrassing let me let me quit right quickly before we move on i'll describe the goal card to vicars went and passed the ball back to smichael don't know what smichael was thinking and it's just let just the balls rolled into the what are you doing it's so far out man you shit oh
00:10:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
all
00:10:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm looking forward to seeing that one on highlights. um So as you're getting an up-to-date Champions League commentary as well...
00:10:42
Jamie
Carry on. Carry on because that is just... Oh, Michael, you've had a stinker. You've had an absolute stinker. Why are you so far wide? Anyway, carry on because this will end up going into some hot heated run.
00:10:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jamie! Jamie! Arsenal, West Ham, Arsenal, West
00:10:55
Jamie
Anyway.
Key West Ham Players to Watch
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ham.
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
come So we want to talk about players that scare us from West Ham. um Talking to the boys earlier from the west hand daily West Ham podcast, um they mentioned a particular Jarrab Bowen, who's got six goal involvement so far, three goals and three assists.
00:11:08
Jamie
Yeah.
00:11:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do you make of the English wide man?
00:11:13
Jamie
Do you know what? Great, great player. um Fairly underrated in my opinion. You know, I just think he has so much talent and it's just, ah just you know, great player and I'm surprised that, ah more so surprised that maybe give it a year or two, I'd be really surprised if a big club if a big club doesn't snatch him up because he is really good.
00:11:39
Jamie
The only thing that not, not as a concern for me, but but it's, you know, again, we talk about it with Declan Rice and other English players is West Ham will demand a huge fee for him.
00:11:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh enormous, yeah. Absolutely enormous. And speaking of a player who they'll demand, excuse me, an enormous fee for, is one other wide player who in fact we've been linked with.
00:12:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Kudos. Looks very good. Very, very good.
00:12:06
Jamie
I'm going to let you kind of like talk about him because I know because the thing is that he is a potential trust replacement.
00:12:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
dis
00:12:15
Jamie
So oh i'll let you talk about I'll let you talk about it.
00:12:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Stop it. Stop it. I just got all tingly inside. um In terms of a troshard replacement, i mean I would take myself as a troshard replacement quite frankly.
00:12:29
Jamie
Of course.
00:12:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I could do a better job and I am 29, horrifically overweight and recovering smoker. So i would I would play over him. um But no, Kudos is such a powerful, strong player on that wide side.
00:12:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
He can play either wing as well. um However, obviously, as we now know, Timber and Callifiori are both back and they're both fit, which is huge for us in a game where they have such potent wide players.
00:12:49
Jamie
Yeah.
00:12:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
So do are you particularly worried about that threat coming from there?
00:12:55
Jamie
Um, another player that I was actually going to bring up was, uh, Sue check.
00:12:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's good, isn't he?
00:13:01
Jamie
I mean, you know, you know how Gabrielle is so lethal from headers.
00:13:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thomas Zuchek is good.
00:13:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:13:06
Jamie
Sue check is the exact same. And I think that's something we've really going to need to try and pinpoint, especially from any form of set piece, especially corners.
00:13:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, massively, because we saw again, as we'll come on to in the next section, um we were a little bit shaky defending set pieces the other day.
00:13:23
Jamie
Yeah.
00:13:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's how sporting got their goal against us. And he is a dangerous player. He's got three goals already this season. So check.
00:13:29
Jamie
Yeah. So already.
00:13:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's doing he's doing well. Yeah, he's already a bit of a menace. One thing I will say, though, their goalkeeping situation at the moment is not the best. So they've got Ariola and Fabiansky, they're their two main goalkeepers.
00:13:43
Jamie
Yeah.
00:13:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ariola has a 56% save rate, which is, quite frankly, rubbish.
00:13:46
Jamie
Yikes.
00:13:54
Jamie
Hmm.
00:13:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fabiansky, I think, has been brought in, because obviously Fabiansky's getting on a bit now.
00:13:59
Jamie
He is now.
00:14:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
His is a bit better. He's in the 70s, Fabiansky, but it doesn't seem as though they're set on a certain goalkeeper, whereas Raya, again, in the last couple of games, damn it, Raya, has been doing pretty well.
00:14:08
Jamie
Yeah.
00:14:12
Jamie
he has I mean despite obviously you know I know we got the clean sheet against Forrest you know and obviously we'll we'll talk more about the other night um but you know again our defense isn't as strong as where was last season you know a lot of teams have managed to somehow break through but again West Ham you look at the form and again
00:14:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Mm.
00:14:35
Jamie
despite the odd win against United, formers not and despite winning against Newcastle, their form has been quite up and down recently.
00:14:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's been patchy, it's definitely been patchy.
00:14:45
Jamie
It has.
00:14:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now I have a confession
Controversy: Combined Arsenal-West Ham Team
00:14:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
to make Jamie.
00:14:48
Jamie
Oh no, what what is it?
00:14:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
They are they did a combined 11 on the crossover and you'll hear this tomorrow anyway, so if anything I'm just ripping off a plaster for you. You would have heard this already listeners. They did a combined 11 and they said they were going to struggle to get any West Ham players into a combined Arsenal, West Ham 11.
00:14:59
Jamie
Uh oh.
00:15:05
Jamie
right okay you know what
00:15:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I let them get four in.
00:15:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
So the combined 11 was Raya, Timba, Saliba, Gabrielle, Arunwan Basaka.
00:15:26
Jamie
I like him.
00:15:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, okay, okay.
00:15:28
Jamie
He's, he's, you know, I still think Halifiori though starts, starts ahead of Aaron Wambusaka.
00:15:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree, but I made the point that he's been in and out of injury. He's new and they they they kind of convinced me that way.
00:15:40
Jamie
He has. And you know what, to be honest with you, you know, the only club he really kind of found his feet at was Palace, was amazing when he was at Palace and then kind of went to United and it just didn't, didn't quite gel for him.
00:15:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:54
Jamie
Now he's at West Ham, it could be, could be a much different story.
00:15:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, it's worth saying he's one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league.
00:16:02
Jamie
Yes.
00:16:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
without a shadow of a doubt. And he's still got a lot of danger going forward. I also, the midfield made of Rice, Odegard, Packeta.
00:16:11
Jamie
Okay.
00:16:14
Jamie
Oh, I don't know.
00:16:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I let ah let them do me on Marino.
00:16:16
Jamie
I don't know.
00:16:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I know.
00:16:21
Jamie
Odegard.
00:16:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Odegard was in there. Rice, Odegard, Packeta.
00:16:25
Jamie
Right. I just.
00:16:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I know, it's very offensive, but it it gets it gets worse, Jamie.
00:16:29
Jamie
Oh no.
00:16:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
two West Ham players made it into the front three.
00:16:34
Jamie
There's two, there's one I can think of.
00:16:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, so Saka on the right hand side, of course, I told them there was no moving Bakaya Saka.
00:16:40
Jamie
Course standard. Yeah, absolutely.
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I, despite my love for him, I allowed them to convince me to drop Martinelli for Kudos.
00:16:53
Jamie
Do you know what? I had a feeling you'd say that and I could partly understand, I could partly understand that. Cause again, Martinelli on his day is unbelievable, but kudos on his day is also unbelievable.
00:17:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, on his day. Jamie.
00:17:11
Jamie
Oh no. No. no oh no no do not tell me it is who i think it is not going to be oh do you know what actually jd will be oh you've probably made his night he'll probably be listening well jd if you're listening to this
00:17:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah did I did something to make Josh happy. I let them put Jared Bowen in instead of Kai Habertz. JD will be over the moon! He'll be over the moon!
00:17:37
Jamie
i'm sure whatever I'm sure if you're having a bad day or if it's not been great, I'm sure what Josh has just said has made your night and your day and probably your Christmas as far as it goes.
00:17:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is not an admission that Kai Havertz is a crap striker. This is just cold, hard pragmatism with the West Ham, daily Post Ham podcast.
00:17:54
Jamie
Yeah.
00:17:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now Jamie, um we're almost done on our preview.
Arsenal vs West Ham Score Predictions
00:17:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
The only thing I have left to ask you is that question that I'm always scared to answer, which is score prediction.
00:18:00
Jamie
Go on.
00:18:03
Jamie
Yeah.
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, we're at the London Stadium. It's going to be at the London Stadium on Saturday, the 30th at 5.30.
00:18:11
Jamie
Yep.
00:18:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's an awkward time. What is your prediction for the score?
00:18:12
Jamie
Hmm. I am going, I'm going to be really brave here. I'm going three nil arsenal.
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, boy.
00:18:23
Jamie
I'm going rice.
00:18:31
Jamie
And I'm actually going to go Martinelli.
00:18:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm very glad you said that because I think Martinelli is going to score as well.
00:18:39
Jamie
Yeah.
00:18:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
I normally go crazy with my prediction, so I'm going to be gentle this time because I don't want to tempt fate.
00:18:44
Jamie
Gone.
00:18:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got go to go 2-0.
00:18:47
Jamie
Ooh, okay.
00:18:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to go Martinelli and I'm going to go Timber.
00:18:49
Jamie
Yep.
00:18:52
Jamie
Ooh.
00:18:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Martinelli and Timber. Yeah, I'm feeling it. I don't know why. I'm just feeling it.
00:18:57
Jamie
Do you know what?
00:18:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a little tingle.
00:18:58
Jamie
I mean, you think about it. He'll be he'll be in that right back role.
00:19:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh,
00:19:02
Jamie
He'll have Saka. Saka likes someone that can overlap.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
know yeah.
00:19:06
Jamie
I mean, look, if Tim, you know, Timba cuts in and and, you know, unleashes one into the top corner, You know, um'm I'm here for it.
00:19:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anything gonna happen Jeremy?
00:19:16
Jamie
Exactly, yeah.
00:19:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that is my prediction. And that is it for the preview of our West Ham game. When we come back, we're actually going to re review a couple of games that happened yesterday, which certainly made our evenings.
00:19:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So stay tuned and we'll be back just after this message from the Global Sports Podcast Network.
00:20:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
And welcome back to the Daily Arsenal Podcast.
Review of Arsenal's Victory Over Sporting Lisbon
00:20:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's part three of our special Friday episode. Jamie, I'm guessing nothing else has happened because I didn't hear you scream during the advert break.
00:20:19
Jamie
No, nothing's happened but Celtic have got possession and they are in the club reach half. Now they just need to just cook something and and it needs to work.
00:20:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well. It's still nil, nil at Anfield, which actually bringing that up brings us very nicely onto our next topic, which is Champions League. So like I said, we're recording this on Wednesday.
00:20:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yesterday, there were a couple of big games in particular, Jamie. There's a big game in Portugal where the Arsenal visited Sporting Lisbon. Now Sporting Lisbon, last time they're out in the Champions League, absolutely battered Manchester City for nil.
00:20:53
Jamie
Yeah,
00:20:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
We beat them 5-1. Care to talk about the game at all?
00:20:59
Jamie
yeah so just one quick start I do want to bring up right is um sporting haven't sporting haven't lost at home in the Champions League all season.
00:21:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Really? That's the first one?
00:21:13
Jamie
And we have inflicted their very first loss. The good thing is it puts us now, well, at the time it put us seventh.
00:21:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:24
Jamie
Obviously after tonight's games, we could, you know, depending on results around us, we we're in that mix. We are in that mix.
00:21:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
the likelihood is we're probably not going to be an automatic after tonight, but we'll definitely be closer to it than perhaps was expected.
00:21:39
Jamie
Absolutely. A hundred percent. Yes, definitely. Um, we, we have to talk about, I mean, we have to talk about this and it's, I posted it last night at full time and it is the celebration.
00:21:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
a celebration.
00:21:55
Jamie
Has to be the celebration.
00:21:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Didn't somebody from sporty come out and just be like, oh, it's really pathetic doing a celebration in his own stadium oh and giving it all of that.
00:22:03
Jamie
Yeah.
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just like, grow up. Just grow up.
00:22:07
Jamie
Exactly.
00:22:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
We hammered you in your own back garden. We're allowed a little bit of, you know.
00:22:12
Jamie
you go the the one thing i really enjoyed about last night's game and i kind of mentioned it to one of my mates was i feel like i saw a different arsenal a different arsenal that i probably
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:22:22
Jamie
had been wanting to see from the start of the season, the fact that it was free flowing football. And I think, again, you look at the starting 11 last night, you know, that starting 11, if we had that starting 11 throughout the last, however many games, I think we'd be in a different, much different scenario to what we are now.
00:22:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
i you know I do agree with you. I think it's probably it's probably the best that I've watched us play all year so far.
00:22:52
Jamie
Yeah.
00:22:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was really, really, really impressive.
00:22:53
Jamie
I agree. My, my question for you quickly.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, the lineup that we...
00:22:57
Jamie
Sorry. Sorry.
00:22:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, go on.
00:22:58
Jamie
I was going to say my question for you, right?
00:22:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, go for it.
00:23:00
Jamie
Is do you think sport, do you think we made sporting look good? Do you think we made sporting look really bad? Or do you think this is like a little blip for sporting?
00:23:10
Jamie
Do you reckon in the next match day they'll be like, right? You know what? We'll brush off the arsenal score and we're going to go and perform.
00:23:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think we actually made them look that bad. I think we just looked really good because the stats weren't horrifically in our favor in terms of possession and things like that.
00:23:24
Jamie
Hmm.
00:23:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, they had chances. They had moments. Yoko has had a chance to get one. And I think right. ah Tipped over the bar.
00:23:31
Jamie
Yeah. Yes.
00:23:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, you know, they they put up a fight. but we were just electric. It was that it was the manner in which the play, especially through the middle, was linking up.
00:23:41
Jamie
Yeah.
00:23:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we we were saying this a couple of weeks ago, how we can't get through the middle.
00:23:45
Jamie
No.
00:23:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Erdegaard's back, now everything's going down the middle and everything's absolutely flying.
00:23:48
Jamie
Oh yeah. Absolutely.
00:23:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it was just brilliant, brilliant to see. um There was another game, of course, that involved an English club that happened last night.
Man City's Draw with Feyenoord and Pep's Remarks
00:23:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Manchester City were 3-0 up with 70 minutes played.
00:24:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
The final score was 3-0 after Firenord came back at the Etihad as well, not away, at the Etihad.
00:24:14
Jamie
that That's what I can't get out of my head. And then and then on top of that, you you saw Pep right at the end of the game.
00:24:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I was gonna come onto that but go for it, yeah.
00:24:27
Jamie
Which was, if for those of you that i have not seen right, you can see that there's a little gash, there's a like a little cut on his nose. And you can also see just at the top of his head is a bit swollen.
00:24:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a bit swollen, isn't it? Yeah.
00:24:39
Jamie
So, I don't, again, I don't know exactly what's gone on behind the scenes there.
00:24:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah,
00:24:46
Jamie
I mean, I thought maybe something might have come out in the news today or, you know, I don't know if something might come out before the weekend, but a little bit worrying.
00:24:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah it looked, ah look honestly, and this isn't just overinflating it for sensationalism. It looked as though someone had had a go at him.
00:25:05
Jamie
Yeah.
00:25:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
a little bit. It looked as though he'd taken a hit or two. No, he might have fallen over or something like that.
00:25:08
Jamie
Yeah.
00:25:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
We don't know. But what he said after the game was really worrying, which was, and it was kind of the flippancy with which he's come out and apologized for it today.
00:25:12
Jamie
I was going to come onto that, which was very worrying.
00:25:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he said, oh, I did it to myself and then laughed it off.
00:25:21
Jamie
Yeah.
00:25:26
Jamie
Didn't he also say after the game as well about, um it was, I don't know, it was a bit of a sensitive subject he brought up. I can't remember what he said word for word, but that caught me off guard and I was a bit like,
00:25:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
i think hes I think he might have said the word self-harm.
00:25:42
Jamie
That's it. Yeah.
00:25:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Possibly.
00:25:43
Jamie
And I kind of just sat there and I was a bit like, like, I know, I know things are not going well at city, but there's a, you know, I just think he couldn't, you know, he couldn't, he shouldn't have said something like that.
00:25:58
Jamie
He could have maybe just said, like, I'd rather wish to not speak about the, you know, could have maybe just politely brushed the question aside in in a better way.
00:26:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Could have said it was an accident. Literally, just a trip, it was an accident, something like that. But no, it it took a weirdly dark tone.
00:26:12
Jamie
Yeah.
00:26:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And it kind of, don't get us wrong, we still enjoyed the result. That was very funny.
00:26:16
Jamie
It did.
00:26:22
Jamie
Of course.
00:26:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
And actually, it was remarkable the way the final came and just smashed it at the end. And somebody pointed out to me as well, it's the ghost of Arnold Slott coming to haunt them before they go to Anfield.
00:26:32
Jamie
You know, I was exactly about to say that.
00:26:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
so
00:26:38
Jamie
That's so, so true. Honestly, you know, I really like the fact that, and I've always respect on a slot for this, the fact that he's gone to Liverpool, but he's not brought anyone from Fire Lord with him.
00:26:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:26:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nope.
00:26:51
Jamie
You know, I think it's such a, I think it's so good and it's actually a good influence for, you know, for someone like Amarin, for example, to also maybe not do the same, you know, don't bring, don't bring your Krez.
00:26:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just let them be there.
00:27:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is this ah this...
00:27:03
Jamie
I mean, Oh gosh, definitely don't bring him in, but like.
00:27:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is your way of convincing yourself that he's not going to sign your crazy weekend, isn't it? just your way
00:27:13
Jamie
Maybe, maybe.
00:27:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
clearly ma
00:27:14
Jamie
And then also the, you know, Trincao, Edwards. Um, do you know what? Really surprised Edwards has not been brought to the Premier League.
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I guess whether he's ready or not, isn't it? I mean, he's a very, very good player and he's doing well there.
00:27:24
Jamie
Yeah. There is also one other person I do want to speak about who really drive me mad. And I want to get your opinions on, on this guy, but was Diamandé.
00:27:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, i go for it.
00:27:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. I don't know an awful lot about DMN based though.
00:27:38
Jamie
right so for those of you that didn't know he got booked early in the game
00:27:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
You'll have to fill me in about what's in particular.
Diamandé's Antics Against Sporting Lisbon
00:27:46
Jamie
But there were little, there were you know what, there were little traits where during the game he was aggravating the Arsenal players, but I just don't understand how the referee or BAR stood there and thought, oh, you know what, we'll let him play.
00:27:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah, you mean. Yeah.
00:28:03
Jamie
I can understand, right, you're on a yellow card, if you do something a little bit rash, but it's not deemed serious enough, cool.
00:28:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:28:10
Jamie
You know, give a warning, but be like, right, look, one more challenge and that's it, you're off. But I just think, I personally think that sporting should have really been down to 10.
00:28:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
i I get what you mean. I kind of got lost in the goals that we were scoring.
00:28:26
Jamie
Yeah.
00:28:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
And and as irritating as he was, and he was a little bit of a thorn in the side of a couple of players, I was kind of at that point, it was like he's not endangered anyone. He's not done anything to particularly injure.
00:28:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, he went for a couple.
00:28:40
Jamie
gabrie I mean apparently after the game Arteta said that gare the reason why he brought off Gabriel was discomfort apparently.
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, you're joking.
00:28:49
Jamie
Yeah so look I mean discomfort it is a little bit worrying but let's keep our fingers crossed that he
00:28:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:28:59
Jamie
Let's just hope he's fit and available because look, his his that that header was just, I could, I was watching Gabrielle and I was like, this is going to go in.
00:29:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh it was great. The run was superb.
00:29:09
Jamie
And I literally, I was like, I called it, called it, knew it. Gabrielle is that guy. He honestly, so good. And also big shout out to Kai Harris as well. Well, I mean, we haven't spoken about him on this episode and I mean, I'm surprised we haven't.
00:29:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:22
Jamie
But JD, your guys doing well, your guys doing well, man.
00:29:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's
00:29:26
Jamie
Your guys doing well.
00:29:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's just a phenomenal hold up player, isn't he? When it comes to creativity in that final third and holding it up and also just getting in the right spots at the right time.
00:29:34
Jamie
Yeah.
00:29:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
It wasn't the most glorious finish in the world, but it was a finish and he was there to do it.
00:29:38
Jamie
Yeah.
00:29:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's what he's there for. Now there's one more update that I want to do before we wrap up today's podcast, as a Friday's podcast. um I think it was last Wednesday, we were talking about news from around the world and we brought you a little update about a certain referee called David Coot, who's been a little bit in the wars recently. He's in it again.
00:30:00
Jamie
it it just It just gets worse and worse for him.
00:30:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I do not understand who has all this dirt on him and how they like the latest accusation, now it's not necessarily been brought forward by the referees association yet, but it is under review, is that he's been accused of effectively fitting fixing bets in regards to a yellow card against Leeds.
00:30:03
Jamie
Like it can't get any better.
00:30:14
Jamie
No.
00:30:23
Jamie
I can't believe that.
00:30:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, Jamie, do you, this is a strong word to use, do you have any enemies
00:30:26
Jamie
Honestly can't believe that.
00:30:30
Jamie
Yeah.
00:30:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
in your life, like people who would actively seek to do you harm.
00:30:34
Jamie
um Not that I know of.
00:30:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think I do either. And I've upset plenty of people in the bar trade, but I don't have an enemy.
00:30:45
Jamie
Yeah.
00:30:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
David Koo has an entity out there somewhere.
00:30:49
Jamie
I know it gets really worse. It actually does get really worse.
00:30:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
like
00:30:55
Jamie
Like it doesn't get any better. That's that's how I can see it.
00:30:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, um he's in a bit of a sticky situation. But I tell you who aren't, Arsenal.
00:31:04
Jamie
No.
00:31:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
At the moment, we're riding high and me and Jamie are hopeful that on Saturday, we're gonna do the job.
