Global Sports Podcast Network
I was going to say something ridiculous, but I'm not going to say it. It is just, Nick, are you okay, Nick?
00:00:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh! It's just the necklace. I'm good, thank you very much.
00:00:42
Jo
I want to hear the ridiculous one.
00:00:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Should I?
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't say it. I can't say ridiculous. drugs because I just realized that this is actually going to go out and I'm not just talking to you when we're not recording. So I i literally can't say it.
00:00:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Okay.
00:00:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
And yeah my other guest is Joe. So I'm surrounded by the but ladies of the Newcastle podcast tonight. Are you okay, Joe?
Professionalism and Humor
00:01:01
Jo
I am, and I'm so glad you didn't follow that up with something else that I thought you were going to as well. So thanks, Kev.
00:01:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nope, nope, I've been mega, mega professional, or at least I'm trying anyway.
00:01:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Me too.
00:01:06
Jo
Nice to see.
00:01:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
PG!
00:01:09
Jo
PG, that's the one.
00:01:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Yeah, PG podcast, isn't it? So, um of course, it's Wild Call Wednesday. Our heads are already all over the shop, um as you can tell. So, our thought, why don't we do something a little bit different?
Admiration for Newcastle United Players
00:01:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
We all share our love for Newcastle United players, especially Sean Longstaff. We know how much Nicola loves him. um And we talk all the time about how good Eddie Howe is, and how good alex Alexander Isaac is, Joe Linton, Bruno, Sam Joeth, full of players we love at the minute. Big Dan Byrne has become a little bit of a cult hero at Newcastle. So what I thought we'd do is take a step back, we'll get some of our frustrations out because we've got a couple of, well, we've got a lot of tough games coming up.
00:01:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
and So we're going to go through our most disliked Newcastle United 11 of all time.
Most Disliked Newcastle Players Introduction
00:01:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, this can be for any reason. This can be because you didn't like the face, because of the way they performed, and because of how we spoke about the club after they left.
00:02:03
Jo
ye
00:02:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
This could literally be anything at all. All you have to do is save a player. ah you dislike and then the reason why and then we move on we don't even have to pick and ah an end 11 right because it's just getting stuff off our chest I'm mainly doing it as well because I want to see what we're comments are on Spotify and YouTube and TikTok and all them things because they will have so many players we probably won't even mention right we're gonna go a position you don't need to be scared it's all right
00:02:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm scared.
00:02:34
Jo
and
00:02:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Really scared.
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're all right. I promise you're okay. So we're not saying we hate anybody to hate a horrible word. It's just dislike. We just never really, we never really connected to these players.
00:02:43
Jo
some
00:02:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you might hate them. And if you do see it, who cares?
00:02:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
this um
00:02:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it is what it is.
00:02:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah Very
00:02:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I unfortunately can't be in Nick's here at 11 because I never played for Newcastle United. So she's gutted about that one. So we're going to start with Nick. We're going to start with goalkeeper Nick.
00:02:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh
00:03:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who is the goalkeeper you have disliked the most who played in ukaseanated famous black and white stripes Three goalkeepers it's the hardest position go on then Is that the man united thing is that the man united loan just sit on their bench is that the reason why
00:03:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
huh
00:03:04
Jo
He's scared.
00:03:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Right guys, I've got two, well three actually down here. One is, well hang on, one's invalid. One is invalid because after this season, I can't say he's in my hated 11, but Dubravka before this season would have been in my hate, my most disliked 11.
00:03:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I thought his attitude was honking before it.
00:03:28
Jo
Yeah.
00:03:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I thought his attitude was honking after it. I just, He would have been up there, but he's redeemed himself.
00:03:32
Jo
There's life. Ha! He's honking.
00:03:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honkin's a great word, by the way. Honkin
00:03:37
Jo
theres
Most Disliked Goalkeepers
00:03:38
Jo
life
00:03:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Sorry.
00:03:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
is brilliant.
00:03:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I'm going to use that a lot on this podcast.
00:03:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He was just a bit honking for a little bit, wasn't he?
00:03:41
Jo
ah
00:03:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, Debravka's not in yours, who is?
00:03:41
Jo
his honkin
00:03:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Guys, this is gonna cause some controversy, I think, and please don't batter me through the screen. Steve Harper?
00:03:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, what, disliked.
00:03:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I think his attitude's awful.
00:03:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's stuck around for years as a number two.
00:03:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I did stick around for years, but as a number two, i just
00:03:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was like England's standard goalkeeper.
00:04:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
See, this is why I don't say anything. This is why I don't say anything.
00:04:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm just, I'm just questioning.
00:04:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:04:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got to be able to question you.
00:04:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So no, I think he was a great player and a great backup, if you like. However, I generally think his attitude and the way he came across in interviews and things like that wasn't great.
00:04:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's my reason for just liking him.
00:04:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:04:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
There you go.
00:04:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. Um, I'm curious to see who the other one was. You said you had three, who's the other one?
00:04:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um This was probably about a while ago, but Jack Onwick.
00:04:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jack Anick. Yeah.
00:04:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um nick yeah
00:04:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jack Anick.
00:04:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um just because I do feel bad for him though because he was thrown in the deep end a little bit but um very in the deep end um but he just made a lot of errors very unnecessarily.
00:04:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was massively thrown at the deep end.
00:04:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so I'm going to follow on from that.
00:04:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so
00:04:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
He is actually the one I picked in, not because I'd genuinely dislike him, it's just he was thrown at the deep end at an awful time in the night actually where we had injuries to keep us.
00:04:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:04:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he was just so out of his depth and it just frustrated the life out of his that he couldn't save anything. But it's not really his fault. So I'm not going to go too much into it. I just really struggled with goalkeepers. I love Steve Harper.
00:05:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I like Martin Dubrovka, obviously. I don't love them, but they're likeable. Joe, I'm really curious now, who's your goalkeeper and you're almost disliked 11.
00:05:15
Jo
I'm, I've got to be honest Nick, I'm probably shocked at the harbour one.
00:05:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, don't dislike him.
00:05:18
Jo
Fair play to you, that came
Disliked Right Backs and Centre Backs
00:05:20
Jo
to an outlet.
00:05:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just think his attitude's a little bit, and that's me personally, just the way he comes across.
00:05:21
Jo
Oh no.
00:05:23
Jo
Yeah. Look, it's at the end of the day, right? This is what's about. It's like our personal dislikes of people, isn't it? So ah it just came out left field.
00:05:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:05:29
Jo
I wasn't expecting me to say it at all. Fair play to you. This is going to be one that you guys may not have even thought of because I was very young and you guys were babies.
00:05:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've just gotten higher than that.
00:05:39
Jo
Lionel Perez was signed in from the Maccams in 98. So basically that was a bit of an obvious dislike.
00:05:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:05:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Why is it kept that she's hated?
00:05:46
Jo
However, have you like disappeared?
00:05:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Are you okay?
00:05:51
Jo
You already did. I'll keep talking. um
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
just hiding because you you said you didn't like the Steve Harper pick and I thought Nick was gonna explode so I thought I'm getting out of the way of this.
00:06:00
Jo
I'm...
00:06:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, no, no.
00:06:00
Jo
Me n***a cool.
00:06:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm not going to explode.
00:06:02
Jo
What's that?
00:06:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just don't add us didn't like his attitude. I'm not to say it that.
00:06:05
Jo
I've already bribed our drinks. Nick, I'll buy you another one. It's fine. There we go. Happy again.
00:06:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True.
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's so easy to be mischievous on this podcast.
00:06:10
Jo
She's easy, man.
00:06:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well, we're one positioning.
00:06:11
Jo
Easy. So easy. Um, yes, uh, Lionel Perez from 98, but like I said, we signed him from the Machams in 98. Nobody liked the fact that we'd signed a Macham goalkeeper, as you can well imagine. Um, but it was also deemed as a pointless signing.
00:06:23
Jo
So I actually had three keepers at the time, which he had to contend with. And he ended up leaving after multiple loans anyway. So really, yeah.
00:06:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Was he someone's number one at the time?
00:06:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:06:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Or was he playing for someone's at the time?
00:06:32
Jo
I've got to be honest, I cannot remember what number he was, but I just remember he was signing him from the Mackhams in 98.
00:06:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's iconic because if you if you take away a maximum goalkeeper and just not use them so they haven't got a goalkeeper, it's brilliant.
00:06:41
Jo
Yeah, I don't know if he was number one, because we didn't use him. We loaned him out a couple of times and ended up selling him. It was a totally pointless signing.
00:06:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair.
00:06:47
Jo
So we signed him Mackham for no reason.
00:06:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:06:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
Debate on Worst Centre Halves
00:06:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:06:50
Jo
min
00:06:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I think that is the hardest position done. I think the rest of them was multiple contenders of players we just either haven't like taken to or liked or disliked purposely for a reason.
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Right. I'm going to go right back first. I feel like we go right and left. and So we'll go right back. Joe, you go first this time. Who's your most disliked right back in Newcastle United history?
00:07:16
Jo
um I'm gonna go Simpson, because basically his career with us sucked in comparison to what he did with Lester, yes.
00:07:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Stanley Simpson.
00:07:24
Jo
And if I'm honest, he was, from what I remember him, he was just too obsessed with his celebrity image. To me, he was a bit like a downgraded Jesse Lingard, who I absolutely hate, by the way, because he was all about celebrity image, and just get on with what you're doing on the pitch.
00:07:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
on but Ah, thought he was mid for us.
00:07:37
Jo
simpson was like that with us and i'm just thinking about him with us because he was mint for lester they did really well and he had a great season the championship in the championship not as a premier league player he wasn't mint for us nah i just don't like him that's my but i've told you why i didn't like him he was all about the celebrity and he thought he was mr dude and that that's my thing so yeah
00:07:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
The season we finished 50 was unbelievable defensively. I'm saying to me, finish fifth. He literally had like one of the most clean sheets, part of the defense who had one of the most like...
00:07:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. I quite liked Danny Simpson, but okay.
00:08:02
Jo
oh
00:08:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nick, who we're going with, who's your most disliked right back?
00:08:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, dude, you are outnumbered on this one because I've put Danny Simpson as well. Um, I'm more so probably because of what followed on in the press about him and things like that.
00:08:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't see what he did wrong.
00:08:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh yeah, but come on, this is about being for new personal, what I brought in here.
00:08:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, but I did, right. Kev, we're allowed to give our opinions across. So let's calm down.
00:08:25
Jo
And you're two against one anyway, so...
00:08:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. So I did put on my notes seemed more interested interested in a celebrity lifestyle than playing for Newcastle.
00:08:33
Jo
See? We Norman.
00:08:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, and okay, I thought, I think it's harsh, but I don't want to reply because I feel like I can't reply, so I've just got to move on and stay
Least Favorite Midfielders and Wingers
00:08:42
Jo
Good boy.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
in mine.
00:08:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no replying, no replying. My most disliked right, but I thought Danny Simpson actually performed quite well for Newcastle, especially in the championship to get us back to a Premier League and ah the season we finished fifth.
00:08:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Go Trippin!
00:08:55
Jo
What are you going to reply?
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm going for, I'm going for somebody I'm just comparing the one I've picked. I'm going with somebody who never had a good game for us, constantly struggled defending. Purpose who made Martin Britain, who was a young kid at the time, play right back because he couldn't be bothered to track back.
00:09:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Unforgivable for me, Stephen Carr. Absolutely shocking right back for us.
00:09:14
Jo
Ooh.
00:09:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Not the good show.
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Signed from Tottenham.
00:09:16
Jo
Good show.
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was very good at Tottenham. He was not remotely interested in adapting to the Geordie lifestyle. He wasn't remotely interested in defending. He was there to pick up his wage. He didn't contribute to any success for the club, which is why I mentioned Danny Simpson being good in the championship in fifth.
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Carr had none of that. He was never, he never contributed to the club. but in a positive way at all. So for me, I thought Stephen Carr was the only one really who I could strongly dislike it right back.
00:09:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Centre halves. I don't think Nicola should have a seat on centre halves, because if you want to go back to go but an old episode, she put Boom Song and Bramble, obviously an iconic centre half pairing, in our Black History Month for 11, where we were celebrating the black players who played for Newcastle in Sheets.
00:09:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've got one. Oh, there we go.
00:10:02
Jo
Let's discuss, Kev.
00:10:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, it wasn't a different episode.
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Team thought them, you were the best ones. But Joe, Joe, who are your, who are your centre half, Aaron?
00:10:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Move on. I have one.
00:10:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who are your centre half, Aaron?
00:10:09
Jo
Well, what's really weird?
00:10:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I have one.
00:10:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just stop.
00:10:12
Jo
What's really weird, Nick, is...
00:10:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's, what's so strange here, Joe? What's happening?
00:10:16
Jo
What's really happening? Boom song. Wow. He's one of mine because he was just crap and just based off a waste of a time player.
00:10:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jock. Never. Who's horrendous one he worst defending room has?
00:10:24
Jo
And guess who else I've got? I've only got Mr.
00:10:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Can't be.
00:10:28
Jo
Bramble.
00:10:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
can't be no no way i'm sure somebody on this podcast i haven't mentioned it already somebody but them it's like the two best black center hearts we've ever had wow wow was great yeah
00:10:29
Jo
Oh, I have. Yeah. Yeah. You know why? You know why? I know.
00:10:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but Oh, my good God. This is why I shouldn't do these episodes. This is why I panicked, guys, when this schedule came. Wow.
00:10:46
Jo
Basically, he was always a calamity, even though Nick reckons he wasn't.
00:10:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, I've never said that.
00:10:50
Jo
He was a calamity waiting to happen. And then he turned into a Macamany way. So he's like got a double whammy going on there.
00:10:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True.
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
The only thing which half saves Bramble, in my opinion, is that he went to the Macklums and was even worse than he was at us. At least he had a good 88 minutes for us.
00:11:01
Jo
you
00:11:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, a kilometre's two minutes at the Macklums, he had a kilometre's 90.
00:11:04
Jo
He did. He did.
00:11:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
The only thing which saved him from my...
00:11:06
Jo
But he was a calamity waiting to happen. That was the problem with us, wasn't it?
00:11:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:09
Jo
Because he could have a great game. and But you just knew that was always going to be something.
00:11:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:13
Jo
Every single game, he couldn't get through it, man.
00:11:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Shocker.
00:11:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Shocker.
00:11:15
Jo
So yeah.
00:11:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got Boomsong.
00:11:17
Jo
Bramble and boom sound.
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
I haven't got Bramble. There's somebody else keeping Bramble out for me because he went to the Magnums and was even worse for them. So I kind of saved him in my list.
00:11:24
Jo
Found it
00:11:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
But
Disliked Strikers Discussion
00:11:25
Jo
funny.
00:11:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nick, I know you've got one cent a half.
00:11:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, who'd you?
00:11:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who do you want to go with?
00:11:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, this one's, I didn't even mention the other two because I knew it would call the barrel of the last from you two.
00:11:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't be Boomsong or Bramble.
00:11:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, and this is more, and this is more from my, um, cause obviously I feel like hates a strong word.
00:11:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
You think they're great?
00:11:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So it's more from my dislike, but I have gone for, this is going to cause another uproar.
00:11:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's like 11. I hate them.
00:11:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think I've gone for, um, I just could never warm to him. Kieran Clark never want him.
00:11:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
who
00:11:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So for the premier league, I just thought he was poor championship player at best, um, did well for us in the championship, but premier premier league.
00:11:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, probably.
00:11:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, no, no. And I could never warm to him, but we gave away stupid styles.
00:11:59
Jo
I suppose.
00:11:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think his whole career, I think it's a good shout to be fair because he wasn't like disliked, but he wasn't really loved. But then he got sent off in my early game with Eddie.
00:12:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:12:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that was like what you're doing.
00:12:12
Jo
He created Joe Linton.
00:12:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
But actually that's the great point you created, Jordan. So actually maybe should be loved. and Before we went out of time, because i need I need to have a break before we come back for the left-back, because I can't believe the left-back I've picked, I'm disappointed in myself, but it is what it is.
00:12:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, I'm intrigued.
00:12:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
My other centre-half to go with Boom Song is Marcelino. Joe will definitely remember Marcelino.
00:12:33
Jo
I do and I nearly had them in my list. That's a good, great, great shout out on.
00:12:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah It came from a Yorker, and it wasn't even that.
00:12:38
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I remember when I was really little, and I was like asking questions about players, and I asked why Marcelino wasn't playing, and I swear to God he was out for two months with a poody finger.
00:12:41
Jo
Great shout.
00:12:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Talk about just not wanting to play for you. Matt's not like, come on, Matt's unforgivable.
00:12:51
Jo
Yeah.
00:12:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
At least Bramble showed up and tried.
00:12:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:12:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And my other one alongside Marcy knows obviously Boomsong.
00:12:55
Jo
You tried.
00:12:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think it's anything more, probably the worst center half we've ever had. and But we make some persons all the time.
00:13:00
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh my good god.
00:13:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah um Right, that's a perfect time for a break.
00:13:05
Jo
ah
00:13:07
Jo
perfect
00:13:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to come back and do our left back and we'll recap our defence before we move into midfield. So of course it's got to be the Zenkaster Queen for the first advert, which is of course our very own Ginger Perlow, Joe.
00:13:21
Jo

00:13:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
well done no coughs either but did you see are you ready to check out your story yeah i think you did check out your own story people um yeah whatever floats your boat anyway um we're going to we are going to the left back position and we'll recap our kind of backfires with a goalkeeper um nick who do you who do you think is the most disliked new cast united left back of all time
00:13:44
Jo
Thanks, thanks now.
00:13:48
Jo
did a
00:13:52
Jo
You can check out whatever you want, right?
00:13:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
check out your own story I wouldn't even I did pick one but I wouldn't say he's the most disliked is just because I struggled to fill the position but if we're
00:13:56
Jo
We can listen to ourselves.
00:14:09
Jo
I didn't pick one either either, by the way. Did you pick one, Nick? Oh, did you have him pick one?
00:14:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm just gonna say, um Lazar, i just only because I feel like he really struggled for Newcastle, only actually made like nine appearances over like what, like a, I don't know, two or three seasons.
00:14:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Two or three year, I think.
00:14:32
Jo
Yeah.
00:14:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And I just feel like he struggled and and wasn't exactly successful and poor Benitez really did try, but it's not really, like I don't think he was massively disliked, but yeah.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:14:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's a good choice.
00:14:41
Jo
Yeah.
00:14:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's her head.
00:14:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's not It's not a bad choice. Again, I agree. He probably wasn't disliked. He was kind of inoffensive. But yeah, he didn't do very well for Newcastle.
00:14:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:14:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's a good reason to put him in. and Mine is quite harsh.
00:14:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:14:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I will actually really like him as a player, but I ah can't believe he left at the time he left and what happened afterwards. So I'm going to explain it. As much as I think, you know what, he's probably all the greatest ever ever left back. But I've put him in there.
00:15:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Jose Enrique. um The reason why, like let me explain, let me explain. He pushed for a move to Liverpool because he wanted to be at a top six club.
00:15:13
Jo
He did.
00:15:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
We then went on to finish fifth.
00:15:15
Jo
Yeah.
00:15:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
He came back to St James's park at a crap Liverpool team, finished about ninth and had a going goal because we had a man sent off.
00:15:19
Jo
Yep, I remember that. It was amazing.
00:15:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
If that's not karma for wanting to leave our club especially when you've got your best mates like Colo and Jonas at Newcastle as well and you're still pushing for a move through a bang average Liverpool to then finish ninth and we finished fifth that was just ultimate karma.
00:15:29
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:15:36
Jo
He got hammered in that game.
00:15:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't necessarily dislike him but however if you follow him on instagram and facebook and stuff he says we about Liverpool We made him? but you What are you a Liverpool fan for?
00:15:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
What? So he kind of talks like he's a Liverpool fan.
00:15:49
Jo
yeah Fair enough.
00:15:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
He always talks about Liverpool. He says, we win. And I'm just a bit like, that's not great.
00:15:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, yeah.
00:15:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
You didn't achieve anything really at Liverpool when you left. It didn't work out for you. So you should just come back and Newcastle, but it is what it is. and It is harsh. I do really like Enric. Yeah, I think he's probably the best left back we've ever had, but that kind of left a bit of a sour taste to my mouth when he left.
00:16:03
Jo
oh That's a fair shout.
00:16:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Just to recap our back five. I've got Jack Anick, Enwicky, a left back, Marceline on, booms on the centre-halves, and Steven Carr right back. Joe, who you got?
00:16:19
Jo
No, because like I say, I haven't got a left back. I've got a right back and two center backs. I've got very lopsided team.
00:16:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just say, yeah, defence, yeah.
00:16:24
Jo
I've got four midfielders and then I've got three strikers. So yeah.
00:16:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on, man.
00:16:26
Jo
So all I've got is my left back crab. Where's it gone? Yeah, I've lost it. Right. Well, boom song on Bramble. Oh, I don't have a left back man. I got Simpson's right back. That's why I can't find my left back.
00:16:38
Jo
So yeah, the Simpson, boom song on Brangle.
00:16:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
So your recap is Boomsong, Bramble and Simpson, and then you've got um you've got Perez as your goalkeeper.
00:16:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Are you okay?
00:16:41
Jo
No.
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Nick, what about your back three with a goalkeeper?
00:16:45
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who you got?
00:16:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh my god, I've lost it, sorry. I
Least Favorite Managers
00:16:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
have got Olnick for goalkeeper, Dani Simpson for right back, Kieran Clarke for centre back and Lazar for left back, only had one centre back.
00:16:52
Jo
We're not having a
00:17:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
okay that's fine that's okay there's our there's our defenders and goalkeeper then so you've got to start commenting right now if you're listening as long as you're not driving obviously but when you get the work or get the wherever you're going to start thinking who am i going to comment and who do i dislike who played in defense for new castle there's a cut we've missed out david rosenahl was a
00:17:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Is that okay?
00:17:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a common shout I heard when asking people this question. um And there's a couple of us, I'm not going to ruin them so you can comment. and Right, midfield. Let's start with right midfield or right wingers. There's some shocking ones people have said to me when I've asked them this question, so I'm hoping there's not many of these shouts on here, but we'll see.
00:17:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm scared.
00:17:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Starting with the queen of the worst shouts in the world, we're going to Nicola. Who's your right winger slash right midfielder?
00:17:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, oh. I have got Florian Talvin. I never know how you pronounce his surname.
00:17:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's in mine, actually.
00:17:49
Jo
toen
00:17:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, and wow.
00:17:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's in mine.
00:17:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Okay. I am surprised. Um, no other reason than, um, he was poor and he said he screwed his career playing for us.
00:17:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he never, he never wanted to join Newcastle. He came out and said, I didn't want to go.
00:18:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Never wanted to join. Yeah.
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he never even tried at Embrace for Geordie Life. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd much rather live in myself or France as well. But if you're going to come play for us, at least try.
00:18:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Can I say another one?
00:18:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, go on, man.
00:18:12
Jo
um
00:18:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've got Damien Duff as well.
00:18:16
Jo
Ooh, I nearly put him in.
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
He didn't get in mind but he's close probably.
00:18:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, negative mindset.
00:18:18
Jo
I didn't, but I nearly did. The Duff Man. Duff Yeah, he was.
00:18:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And obviously he scored the young goal that has sealed our allegation. So won't forgive him for that.
00:18:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
And jump chip jumped Jumped ship and went down.
00:18:25
Jo
He did. Yep.
00:18:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:28
Jo
He did.
00:18:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And that one. Yeah.
00:18:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right Joe, couple of wingers?
00:18:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Like I've redeemed myself a little bit.
00:18:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just.
00:18:34
Jo
Cool.
00:18:34
Jo
Right wing, I had Aubertin.
00:18:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got overtime as well.
00:18:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. yeah
00:18:38
Jo
Have you?
00:18:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, there's a very particular reason why I let you go first.
00:18:41
Jo
Ooh. But I did say it wasn't particularly for his personality. It was just more his poor attitude on the field. um I didn't overly hate him. um I just wasn't a fan of him, I'll be honest. So it's not massive reasons with Oberton, but I was kind of clutching at straws to get the right positions here because I had a lot of kind of central mids that I wanted to put in.
00:18:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got a I've got a big I've got a big reason for over time.
00:18:59
Jo
um But yeah, anyway, that's all I've got on Oberton, I'll be honest.
00:19:02
Jo
Not a huge hate.
00:19:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was like you were playing FIFA 98 He only ever ran in straight lines. Why couldn't he run in a diagonal line?
00:19:08
Jo
He had speed, but he just wasn't just there wasn't the right attitude.
00:19:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
But why couldn't you run in a diagonal line? he'd get the ball and rather than attack the goal on a diagonal run, he would run straight to the byline like a FIFA 98 player because the technology was so bad and then cross it anyway.
00:19:13
Jo
But yeah.
00:19:17
Jo
I love that.
00:19:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, why couldn't he run in a diagonal line towards the goal?
00:19:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:19:24
Jo
That's hilarious.
00:19:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Why did he just run in straight lines up and down the wing? Absolutely horrendous, awful, awful play. And honestly, I'm not going to say I was going to say that's actually really nasty.
00:19:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so
00:19:33
Jo
Well, left wing.
00:19:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we'll move on. Any other wingers, Joe? I was going to slay the Gabby overtime. with Nice, really.
00:19:38
Jo
ah Alright, left wing, I've got Ryan Fraser. um Pretty much for the reasons we're remembering it and how it just ended so badly for him.
00:19:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:19:46
Jo
it wasn't He wasn't particularly hated really for most of his time here, so it's not like woton because we can't honestly say we hated him the whole time he was here.
00:19:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:53
Jo
um And he got on you know well with other people. But the way it ended for him, man, it was just I was going to say something, a crap show is what I'm going to say at the end, because I nearly said something. But yeah, it was, wasn't it? It just went on and on and on. So yeah, he pushed himself right up there into the left wing position of hatred, unfortunately for him.
00:20:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair play. I'm going to start with a sentiment feeling as I've got two. One of them I'm a bit disappointed in myself again, because I did quite like him, but it's more. I'll explain it. My first one, this is why I'm so scared of signing anybody from the Dutch league ever.
00:20:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Him and his brother, actually.
00:20:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
CMDong.
00:20:31
Jo
I reckon I know you.
00:20:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Nah.
00:20:33
Jo
I've got him.
00:20:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
How on he came with such a big reputation and you know what when he wasn't injured there was times he looked actually half okay but I think I just think he was half okay because of the dog poop around him at the time maybe he had a tiny bit of class and I was just thinking and maybe CMD on could be a good player but then I mean my god if there was any excuse to be injured he would have it with me and then he just looked like he was torn a caravan at the end he like he looked like he just couldn't run
00:20:34
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:20:43
Jo
Yeah.
00:20:53
Jo
the yep
00:20:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
um In my other center midfield, I'm a little bit disappointed in this because I love his debut.
Newcastle's Progress and Listener Engagement
00:21:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's still quite an an iconic moment, but it was openly talking about Arsenal. when he was at Newcastle, wanting to join Arsenal.
00:21:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then when he couldn't join Arsenal and we got relegated, he jumped, chipped the Tottenham just because he wanted to get out. Moussa Sosogo.
00:21:17
Jo
Yeah, reach out, reach out.
00:21:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah, good shout.
00:21:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not a terrible player, actually. Not not a terrible player. and Was quite inoffensive, but then he started towards the end of that relegation season. he's Did he call Arsenal like his dream club or his heart club or something was Arsenal.
00:21:28
Jo
Oh, he was, yeah.
00:21:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:21:32
Jo
Again, he caused that hatred, didn't he?
00:21:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I was like, what are you talking about?
00:21:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, what what are you talking about? And then he didn't even get them moved to Arsenal and showed his complete lack of loyalty to anything by then joining Tottenham just because he didn't want to play in my championship for us. So, so, so go and CM De Jong and my two centre midfielders.
00:21:34
Jo
He did like, yes.
00:21:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got Aubertin one wing in Florian Tov and the other wing.
00:21:47
Jo
Great shout.
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
So where's my midfield finished? Nick, finish off your midfield.
00:21:52
Jo
That's good.
00:21:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Good. Um, left wing. I've also got Ryan Fraser. He is a player that I could never ever warm up to. Um, again, honking attitude.
00:22:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:22:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, like guys I actually actually really hated him.
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honkin Hmm
00:22:06
Jo
Oh, really?
00:22:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. I'm actually going to come out and say that I actually really hated Ryan Fraser from the minute he joined the club to the minute he left.
00:22:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
fair Right fair Oh, our next guest is yeah, she can global
00:22:15
Jo
ah really
00:22:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, yeah. Bit of a bad case of small man syndrome there, I think, but, um, yeah, I don't like him.
00:22:19
Jo
Very. He's a very small man in his face.
00:22:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, Oh damn.
00:22:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, don't get me on that one. And I kind of struggled for central mid. Jo, have you done your central mid?
00:22:31
Jo
No, I'm do it after you.
00:22:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:22:32
Jo
Do you want me to say it now?
00:22:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well, i'll yeah I don't know if we've got the same. i've I mean, we might do. I've got Joey Barton in here. ah Yeah, I've got Joey Barton here. I feel this is quite self-explanatory. So however, what I will say is I did quite like him when he played for us.
00:22:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's more so afterwards and the stuff he said about What are you biting your finger at, Kev?
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he was a great player for Newcastle.
00:22:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, and I mean, I quite liked him when he was playing for us, but I'm just a bit like, you're not thats exactly the nicest of people when you take a step back from that.
00:23:01
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Yeah, I think it's quite, right, okay, yeah.
00:23:05
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:23:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
True, but for us he was, yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:23:09
Jo
It's who we hate though, isn't it?
00:23:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just said yeah, okay.
00:23:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's who we hate.
00:23:12
Jo
All right, cool.
00:23:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And the other one that I am also cannot stand, God, I hate quite a lot of people. um I need to have a word on myself.
00:23:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
The show's bringing out the worst, isn't it?
00:23:22
Jo
The irony that Nick couldn't fill in the list, right?
00:23:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on, Nick, who's next?
00:23:24
Jo
And then all of a sudden she's got about 25 people on it.
00:23:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Bam, bam, bam, yeah. Yeah, just for everyone listening, when Kev sent the artillery for this bog gas, I hit absolute self-destruct mode and nearly got substituted out, it probably should have.
00:23:30
Jo
That was brilliant.
00:23:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
My other one is Jermaine Jonas. I can never pronounce his name either properly.
00:23:42
Jo
ah he know He nearly made mine as well.
00:23:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and Told Newcastle fans that he was staying at the club, then left the next week. Also doesn't talk about it very nicely.
00:23:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Still to this day. um And he thought he was too big for us when he really wasn't.
00:23:52
Jo
I still think it's more, after like, a bit like Barton, I think it was more of an after thing, he's an idiot.
00:23:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So.
00:23:57
Jo
I don't like him on the punditry, like, I just don't anyway.
00:23:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think so. Just got a bit of a sour taste. Sour taste. There's probably better shouts because what do I know?
00:24:03
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I know nothing.
00:24:04
Jo
but Well, no, I agree with half of that, because my mid is Barton, because I've just said, I love hate with this one, because I did always love how he always supported us and wound up the Macums, because that is always hilarious.
00:24:15
Jo
Let's get real.
00:24:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep, ah she is Fleetwood Manager, yep.
00:24:16
Jo
We are petty, because everybody loves a bit pettiness, um but he's just a really crap person, to put it lightly, as the exact words I've written down, because I can't say what I really think.
00:24:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Nice and polite.
00:24:26
Jo
So yeah, exactly. um And CM Dion was the other one, because I said, I didn't really hate him. He's just a total waste of time on the exact words I've wrote again.
00:24:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:24:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:24:34
Jo
He was. He was a complete waste of time.
00:24:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair play.
00:24:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and Nice.
00:24:36
Jo
Yeah, that finishes my mid.
00:24:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair play. Some choices, I think. um I can't possibly and speak on a podcast which is going out to other people and make a defence for Joey Barton as a person.
00:24:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I really can't. um But I thought as a player he was quite good. And Janice, I do understand that one actually, but I just think he was an offensive. He was a decent set in midfield.
00:24:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was okay. One young player of the year at the time, but then actually when he left us, his career went downhill.
00:25:03
Jo
Hmm.
00:25:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was never really as good, so he probably realised.
00:25:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's what I mean, calmer.
00:25:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
and But yeah, anyway, very interesting, actually. So let's have our second advert. Then we'll go through Strikers and maybe some honorable mentions who didn't get in. and So Nicola, turns out that this episode has really brought out as aside a side of new. So let's let's hear Angry Nicola's version of a JSPN podcast advert.
00:25:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, we'll do the nice version. The Global Sports Podcast Network is changing the face of football podcasting of dedicated daily content for every Premier League team, women's football, a dedicated Premier League wrap-up in five different languages. This is your one-stop shop for your daily football fix. Find the GSPN wherever you find your usual podcasts.
00:25:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
brilliant stuff. So what we've realised so far in our new Cassianite and most disliked 11, because I'm not using the word here and I don't like it, and we actually have quite a diverse range of opinions on this.
00:25:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think there's some who are outstanding, who have kind of double picks like Danny Simpson, Gabby Aubertin, Florian Tovans, C.M. De Jong, all have multiple picks. I'm amazed none of you puts a solo in there, but there's what it is.
00:26:08
Jo
Boom song.
00:26:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Boom song, yep. I don't need to say anything more Nick Nick loves them and I feel really bad seeing that because Nick I thought he was one of our best
00:26:13
Jo
Sorry Nick.
00:26:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh Oh, can we please drop it?
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
but we celebrate up when we When we, let meet let me just inform my listeners, because some of them might not know, and when we were celebrating our best black players for history, it was Black History Month, we were celebrating our best black New Castanet players, and Nick just decided to put Boom Song and Drama in as the best centre-half parent we've had, um which is terrible, actually, unforgivable, some would say, and probably the worst shout I've ever heard on any podcast ever.
00:26:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
This has been about six months. No, this is not what happened.
00:26:25
Jo
Nick, it's never gone away.
00:26:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
There's no context to this. There's no context. It's a panic.
00:26:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
like oh I didn't think of that one.
00:26:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, let's move on to our strikers. I've got two strikers. um I've already gave one of them away because I said he's brother. So one of mine is Luke De Jong. Again, literally couldn't hit a bond goal with a machine gun.
00:26:57
Jo
Oh.
00:27:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely horrendous. And somehow when he went to play in Holland, banged the goals in. So again, another reason why I'm petrified of signing anybody from a Dutch league um So he's one of mine.
00:27:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to keep my other one because one of you should probably already have him. Right, Joe, let's go to you first. Give me one or even both of you strikers.
00:27:19
Jo
Well, I've got three because I've only done a three, four, three. I said I had three strikes.
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go.
00:27:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Whoa, go.
00:27:23
Jo
Should I roll them all off? I'm going to give one which I bet you guys have not got. So I'm going to go with him first. So can you guys remember Cisco?
00:27:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, scored against Hull.
00:27:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:27:31
Jo
yep so to me it was more of a disappointment type of thing and he was such a poor sign and we actually tried to get rid of him in the following window but then couldn't so yeah he was again it's it's not a kind of hated thing it was just to me it was just a big disappointment of a sign and um so he made my list um the other one i'll leave the other one last because i think we're going to definitely have the other one all of us so i'll leave that one so my second one is
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
i mean
00:27:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:27:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think I do.
00:27:56
Jo
Vile Ranger because basically he's just an absolute toe rag of a person is what I wrote when he was with us.
00:28:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:02
Jo
He may have grown up since but even he admitted he was a waste of talent back then and he's got a bit of a bad rap sheet off the field too.
00:28:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know what, I've got an interesting story.
00:28:10
Jo
yeah
00:28:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now Ranger makes mine as well, and I've just put next to it wasted talent. I was trying to get a guest for the Daily New Castle podcast and I contacted now Ranger. I had a phone conversation with him.
00:28:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was on the phone room. at well I think I've only ever told Jovis. Nick gonna look shocked. You already knows this information. I had a conversation with him and he actually said he quite liked his time in Newcastle even more.
00:28:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
He completely agrees with us. He well and truly ruined his talent and opportunity in Newcastle and he massively, massively regrets it.
00:28:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
He said it on the phone. So he would agree with that, Joe. But I think it is important to mention that he does kind of acknowledge that himself and he has tried to grow up a little bit and is now playing lower league football.
00:28:45
Jo
and I'm sorry.
00:28:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, at the time, you're right. And he agrees. Nicola, who are some of your strikers?
00:28:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um I also have Nile Ranger. Interesting fact that he plays in the town that I live next to. um And it's not the nicest of places. So yeah, really a good move there now. Yeah, I've got him.
00:29:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And then um do we save the other one altogether?
00:29:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't have that last one, I've got my two, Ranger and Luke De Jong, there's a reason why I don't have the magic word, but you'll you'll find that why soon.
00:29:16
Jo
Ah, right. Okay then.
00:29:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, OK.
00:29:19
Jo
All together now, Nick, you ready? One, two, three, Michael.
00:29:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
All together now. um um Oh, yeah, Michael Owen.
00:29:24
Jo
Oh, You missed the trigger there.
00:29:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yay! Oh, wonderful.
00:29:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
was like a pun figure get on a christmas special
00:29:29
Jo
We were the worst.
00:29:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
jesus
00:29:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and
00:29:31
Jo
We're not, we're not good.
00:29:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I hurt Michael Owen.
00:29:33
Jo
We're not good.
00:29:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I mean, to be honest, when you sent the Artenary for this out, he was the first person on my notes list. um I think the least said on this one, the better, um one injury prone. um And outright said that he didn't like it here and never wanted to come in the first place.
00:29:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So um never wanted to be here.
00:29:47
Jo
Never want to be here, yeah.
00:29:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You could tell when he was playing and I just, yeah, I let the least said on him the better, I think.
00:29:55
Jo
It'd be interesting in the comments if people can say, because I'm predicting a good at least 95% of people, if not more, would have own in their list. Because again, he was the first one that I thought of.
00:30:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:30:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
got to.
00:30:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Mike Lorne will be the most popular one, but I'm going to not defend him, but I'm going to put, I'm going to explain why he's not in mine.
00:30:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:30:05
Jo
Yeah.
00:30:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Go.
00:30:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it's a shock. Um, yeah. I'm just talking to myself a bit here.
00:30:17
Jo
I mean, he likes Barton, right? So what we're going to do.
00:30:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is what it is. I do. I do like Joey Martin. He's a good player. Michael Owen, his record for us actually isn't terrible, which I know it's not just about the record and statistics. However, it's for Newcastle fans' fault.
00:30:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
When he went down and he was injured, they turned on him and shouted so much abuse at him. But if you watch that interview on TNT Sports, I think it's one on one with Rio Ferdinand, and another melt, um but it's it's one on one with Rio Ferdinand.
00:30:41
Jo
He is. I like that word.
00:30:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
and yeah mel He literally says, um he went down, he was genuinely injured and he literally was just walking off, heard so much abuse aimed at him, his family. um I think he had a little boy at the time and there were hurled abuse about him. And I thought, you know what? I mean, he actually openly says, I mean, it's amazing to watch if you watch it. He says, from that moment, I didn't want to succeed for Newcastle fans. so because we were horrific with what we were saying about my family, what we were saying about my wife, what we were saying about my children, why would I want to go out and represent a club where fans are doing that?
00:31:06
Jo
have heard this by the way yeah yeah
00:31:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
So actually I agree, he'll be on 95% of people's lists, I agree he didn't achieve what he could have achieved, I agree that it was probably a waste of money, I agree he was injury poor and didn't want to play.
00:31:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
it One of the reasons for that, and I'm not saying this is right by the way because you should be more professional and rise above the minority,
00:31:31
Jo
I have heard this by the way, yeah.
00:31:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Newcastle fans did kind of ask for it. Shaheel would be about his son.
00:31:36
Jo
Yeah, but you're talking about a very small minority of Newcastle fans.
00:31:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know. I know, but he doesn't understand the club.
00:31:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Kev.
00:31:39
Jo
You're talking about a few idiots, which I agree, by the way, Keir, but it's absolutely not acceptable at all.
00:31:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Kev.
00:31:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:31:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not acceptable at all.
00:31:43
Jo
But yeah, it's a small minority, very small.
00:31:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Kev, it's not like you to um call out Newcastle fans, by the way.
00:31:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:31:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know, that's what I'm saying.
00:31:49
Jo
I know.
00:31:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's why people would be so shocked.
00:31:50
Jo
I mean, you're like, you love them, right?
00:31:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, and you know what, with me talking about Newcastle fans, I think Newcastle do have fantastic fans. However, there is a minority who really, really get the whiz.
00:31:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You, you, yeah.
00:32:00
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:32:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Really get the whiz.
00:32:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're getting me about really healthy. I know I don't mention it very often as well my turn now.
00:32:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You've never mentioned it.
00:32:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You've, you've, honestly, you've never mentioned it to me, I'm shocked.
00:32:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:32:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I do want to clarify, there's a small minority of fans and I do understand that, but it does bug my life out of me. Just like it bugged my life out of Michael Owen. So you know what, I can very, very, very slightly understand why he kind of just worked on the club.
00:32:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But yeah, but that still doesn't take away the fact that he never wanted to come here in the first place. So don't, yeah.
00:32:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he wanted to go back to Liverpool, but still, he would have he would have come here and banged the goals in and tried his best until he got a move back to Liverpool, but the fans again.
00:32:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and
00:32:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like I say, it's not a complete excuse. I just think it was Ranger and Luke De Jong and Owen's got a decent record.
00:32:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's fine.
00:32:41
Jo
Yeah.
00:32:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Owen scored two in the Magnum Derby as well as captain under Kevin Keegan.
00:32:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True.
00:32:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
so
00:32:46
Jo
I've got a quick one, which we haven't prepared for. and I've just thought, who's going to be and our most hated manager to manage our most hated team?
00:32:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on, man.
00:32:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, I didn't think this.
00:32:57
Jo
And I've just thought, let's get a manager on the go.
00:33:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's got to be Suness.
00:33:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Stuporous?
00:33:00
Jo
We've all got to pick one.
00:33:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Suness.
00:33:04
Jo
I'm going to, I'm going to pick
00:33:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Soon as yeah.
00:33:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Suness annoyed everybody. I mean, bellamya mu is Bellamy hasn't made any of our lists. I love Craig Bellamy, by the way.
00:33:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He is on mine.
00:33:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
And again, i'm go I've got to be honest with the listeners.
00:33:11
Jo
I considered it, yeah. He's on the subs bench.
00:33:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah some Some people in our ah and our pod did put Bellamy in there.
00:33:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's on the left wing.
00:33:17
Jo
I bring sub.
00:33:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
They completely understand it. But however, I really like players like that. And I think that says more about my personality of me being a horrible human being.
00:33:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah Completely agree.
00:33:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
and But I quite like Craig Bellamy. Yeah.
00:33:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Completely agree.
00:33:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I quite like him.
00:33:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:33:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:33:30
Jo
Well, my manager will be dog leash, as I like to call him, because I hate him.
00:33:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
o
00:33:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Ooh.
00:33:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
wo
00:33:35
Jo
Can't stand the man.
00:33:36
Jo
Hate him then. Always hate him. I'll always hate him. So that's my manager.
00:33:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
McLaren was quite inoffensive.
00:33:43
Jo
I mean, there's plenty.
00:33:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
He anymore he was just hopeless, wasn't he?
00:33:44
Jo
Let's get real. We've just done.
00:33:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It was just, who does it have a clue?
00:33:45
Jo
Yeah.
00:33:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm probably gonna go
00:33:46
Jo
We've.
00:33:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
A bit like Steve Bruce. No bloody clue.
00:33:48
Jo
Yeah. Like joke near and like, come on, we could carver. We can pick loads really, but the ones that I actually hate, I hate.
00:33:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Sunez.
00:33:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I think I'll move you on that one.
00:33:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm i'm going Sunez. He just picked fighter players in the segment and he killed Robson's team.
00:34:01
Jo
I mean, I hate him too here, but yeah.
00:34:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I did try and avoid the word hated, but we mentioned it a lot there.
00:34:09
Jo
Yeah, it happens.
00:34:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is the disliked Newcastle 9 and Let us know what you think. If you're listening, I'm sure this episode has brought out all sorts of emotions and bad memories for the Castle fans, but sometimes it's good knowledge where we used to be compared to where we are now.
00:34:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
this is therapy
00:34:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are we are now second favourite to the FA Cup.
00:34:25
Jo
It is.
00:34:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are in the final of the League Cup. We are currently set sixth, bearing in mind that fifth is now a 99.5% chance of being a Champions League case. Life's pretty good as a Newcastle fan now.
00:34:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's full of players we love. It's our greatest ever manager in charge. What a time to be alive. Thank you very much for both of your time. It's been a brilliant episode. I always enjoy it with you guys.
00:34:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
