Celebrating a Win and the A1 Traffic Woes
00:00:14
Speaker
A lot of shouting yesterday celebrating the win.
00:00:17
Speaker
Yeah, I bet you did as well, to be fair.
00:00:18
Speaker
Well done to you.
00:00:19
Speaker
Well done to you.
00:00:20
Speaker
It was exciting.
00:00:21
Speaker
It was fun.
00:00:22
Speaker
It was a good day, all in all, apart from the drive back down.
00:00:28
Speaker
Yeah, how was that, by the way?
00:00:29
Speaker
Was that a bit of a killer at that time?
00:00:31
Speaker
It was, right, because when we went down there, when we came back down after Christmas, we took the A1, just nice and easy, no dramas yet.
00:00:40
Speaker
Pretty cool.
00:00:41
Speaker
And I was like, all right, nice one.
00:00:42
Speaker
I'll take the A1 back up.
00:00:44
Speaker
you know, standard.
00:00:45
Speaker
So I took the A1 back up and just traffic, traffic, midday traffic.
00:00:50
Speaker
And I was like, nah, this is not acceptable.
00:00:52
Speaker
What time did you leave?
00:00:55
Speaker
It must have been around like 10 or something.
00:00:57
Speaker
In the evening?
00:00:58
Speaker
No, in the morning.
00:00:59
Speaker
It's a Friday, so that's what it would have been.
00:01:01
Speaker
Always leave in the evening, bro.
00:01:02
Speaker
There's no traffic in the evening.
00:01:04
Speaker
I know.
00:01:04
Speaker
Well, there it is.
00:01:05
Speaker
Around 7, 8 o'clock, leave.
00:01:06
Speaker
Why didn't you leave Thursday evening if that was the case?
00:01:09
Speaker
Because she was at work.
00:01:10
Speaker
She finished work Friday morning, yeah.
00:01:12
Speaker
So we just set off pretty much straight away.
00:01:14
Speaker
And you finish Friday morning, you still set off.
00:01:16
Speaker
You didn't even give the girl time to sleep and catch up on her sleep.
00:01:20
Speaker
It was planned, by the way.
00:01:21
Speaker
It wasn't just like, oh, by the way, you know, great, you finished work, but let's go now.
00:01:25
Speaker
We're going to travel for hours.
00:01:26
Speaker
Sounds like that.
00:01:27
Speaker
Sounds like I finished work.
00:01:28
Speaker
Let me come home quickly.
00:01:29
Speaker
Shower.
00:01:29
Speaker
Right.
00:01:29
Speaker
Jump in the car.
00:01:30
Speaker
We're going north.
00:01:31
Speaker
Well, see, that was her choice.
00:01:34
Speaker
The choice was given, I'm afraid.
00:01:35
Speaker
And that's what we do now, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:38
Speaker
We do not put any pressure on the women.
00:01:40
Speaker
You make your own choice.
00:01:41
Speaker
You make your own choice.
00:01:43
Speaker
And fortunately for me, she made the same choices I wanted.
Balancing Parenthood and Football Interests
00:01:48
Speaker
But it wasn't fast.
00:01:49
Speaker
It wasn't a fast choice.
00:01:51
Speaker
It was self-inflicted.
00:01:52
Speaker
But yeah, so all in all, it was just a good day, man.
00:01:56
Speaker
Good day.
00:01:56
Speaker
And obviously for you, yeah.
00:02:01
Speaker
I feel bad just to bring it up no you can't bring it up I felt fine I had other priorities to be honest I had a bit of worry the little one wasn't very well so I had to you know had to be a dad rather than a football fan that's fair and it's a fair compromise wasn't it you know priority and I didn't really watch anything there and then we were out and yeah I saw the result and it was like oh 1-0 Chelsea I was like alright sweet then 1-1 I was like alright fuck and then
00:02:29
Speaker
fuck, fuck.
00:02:29
Speaker
And that's why I messaged you as well.
00:02:30
Speaker
I said, fuck my life.
00:02:31
Speaker
And I was like, do you know what?
00:02:32
Speaker
Fuck, no, don't fuck my life.
00:02:33
Speaker
My life is pretty good.
00:02:35
Speaker
Yeah, well, in football terms, we don't care about it.
00:02:38
Speaker
Fuck my team, bro.
00:02:39
Speaker
Like, fuck my team.
00:02:41
Speaker
And currently, yeah, man, I'm in a training course.
00:02:45
Speaker
So I'm in an unknown location, as you can see.
00:02:48
Speaker
Yeah, we don't know where it is.
00:02:50
Speaker
Just standard hotel room somewhere.
00:02:53
Speaker
Just some standard hotel room, that's all it is.
00:02:55
Speaker
Yeah, some standard hotel room.
00:02:56
Speaker
And I thought, who did I meet?
00:02:58
Speaker
I met a Chelsea fan today.
00:02:59
Speaker
And he was like, yeah.
00:03:00
Speaker
I was like, bro, don't even talk to me about Chelsea.
00:03:02
Speaker
I said, don't talk to me.
00:03:04
Speaker
I don't even want to know anything about Chelsea.
00:03:05
Speaker
I want to take a break for the next week.
00:03:09
Speaker
I was like, yeah, no.
00:03:10
Speaker
I didn't watch any footage this weekend, to be honest.
00:03:12
Speaker
I tried to watch a little bit, but I did.
00:03:14
Speaker
Even the Arsenal game, I didn't get a chance to see all of it.
00:03:16
Speaker
I saw bits of it.
00:03:18
Speaker
So I can't even comment.
00:03:19
Speaker
But yeah, no, good for you, though.
00:03:21
Speaker
Must win game.
00:03:22
Speaker
Won it.
00:03:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:23
Speaker
Got on top of it.
00:03:24
Speaker
We'll get into Chelsea because I watched a bit of highlights, but let's focus on the positive first.
00:03:27
Speaker
How are you feeling?
00:03:28
Speaker
Definitely.
00:03:29
Speaker
How are you feeling?
00:03:31
Speaker
Yeah, it was a pleasant surprise for sure.
00:03:33
Speaker
You know, it was unexpected.
00:03:36
Speaker
Even though I didn't think we were going to get battered or anything like that, it was just unexpected.
00:03:40
Speaker
You know, it was a commanding victory.
00:03:44
Speaker
And that was more impressive, as I've said before.
00:03:46
Speaker
You know, it's the performance that matters really.
00:03:49
Speaker
I know obviously the scoreline, of course, because that's how points are decided.
00:03:52
Speaker
But I'm saying like for longevity wise, it's the performance that
Liverpool vs Arsenal Performance Analysis
00:03:57
Speaker
matters.
00:03:57
Speaker
So it was it was yeah, it was really good to see, even though you could probably argue that Liverpool didn't have full strength or, you know, a few players missing, a couple of players missing.
00:04:08
Speaker
But, you know, they still had a core
00:04:12
Speaker
base there you know the the strong a stronger 11 anyway it's not like to put the kids out or anything like that so you know it was it it was a majority were experienced players so it it that's what made it feel a little bit nicer for that win so we didn't just beat the kids or whatever you want to call it yeah yeah yeah but uh but obviously you know
00:04:35
Speaker
Some mistakes were made from Liverpool.
00:04:37
Speaker
You probably saw much of the day.
00:04:38
Speaker
You probably saw the goal that it was like, what the fuck?
00:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, but that's not your fault, is it?
00:04:44
Speaker
You forced that error.
00:04:45
Speaker
If you didn't close that down, this is what I call the same as tennis, forced errors.
00:04:48
Speaker
And you forced that error by the pressure.
00:04:51
Speaker
I looked at that game and one thing, obviously I've got a few things to say, but the main thing that I take away from that is you did to Liverpool what Liverpool did to Chelsea four nights ago prior to that game.
00:05:01
Speaker
You know, you didn't let them breathe.
00:05:02
Speaker
They had the ball and could play the Liverpool way of trying to get it out the back.
00:05:06
Speaker
You just pressured them in numbers, you know.
00:05:07
Speaker
You pressured the ball, you pressured the player who could pass the ball too.
00:05:12
Speaker
You pressured the outlet.
00:05:13
Speaker
Honestly, it was incredible to watch.
00:05:15
Speaker
And the bits that I did see, I was like, yeah, fuck, Arsenal look good, which pissed me off, of course.
00:05:19
Speaker
Of course it did, of course it did, yes.
00:05:21
Speaker
You were driving white knuckles all the way to your training like, ah, these bastards.
00:05:26
Speaker
But yeah, no, that's it.
00:05:28
Speaker
And you know, you made errors.
00:05:30
Speaker
Sorry, not you.
00:05:31
Speaker
They made errors.
00:05:32
Speaker
And you made an error as well by obviously, you know, the own goal.
00:05:35
Speaker
Your class is an error.
00:05:36
Speaker
But that's unlucky.
00:05:37
Speaker
The way that happened, it was really unlucky.
00:05:38
Speaker
But no, man, you were fantastic.
00:05:40
Speaker
You were really, really good.
00:05:40
Speaker
I was expecting a bit more from Saka.
00:05:42
Speaker
The bits that I watched, maybe he was excellent.
00:05:44
Speaker
I don't know.
00:05:44
Speaker
But the little bits that I watched, I was like, eh.
00:05:47
Speaker
because he made one pass, I think, in the bit that I caught here.
00:05:49
Speaker
He cut the ball from the right into his left foot and then he tried to pass it to Martinelli and he overhit it.
00:05:53
Speaker
And I was like, you can't overhit those passes like you.
00:05:56
Speaker
And that's, again, snips that I watched.
00:05:58
Speaker
But overall, your team were fantastic.
00:06:00
Speaker
Jorginho was amazing.
00:06:01
Speaker
Jorginho had a great... Highlights only.
00:06:04
Speaker
Highlights only.
00:06:04
Speaker
But Jorginho was fantastic.
00:06:06
Speaker
Havertz was fantastic.
00:06:07
Speaker
Yes.
00:06:08
Speaker
Your whole team was amazing, to be fair, top to bottom.
00:06:11
Speaker
It was... Liverpool, no week.
00:06:13
Speaker
38 and Jones cannot command the Liverpool midfield.
00:06:17
Speaker
Every time I was watching them, I was thinking of you, Rick.
00:06:19
Speaker
I was like, yeah, yeah, 38 and Jones.
00:06:22
Speaker
Did he do all right?
00:06:22
Speaker
Like, obviously... No, he got taken off.
00:06:25
Speaker
He got taken off, obviously, a bit later on in the second half.
00:06:28
Speaker
And no, he didn't really have an impact, to be honest.
00:06:31
Speaker
And Jones, exactly the same.
00:06:32
Speaker
We just shut the midfield down.
00:06:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:34
Speaker
Like you said earlier, it was just the constant pressure that we were putting on Liverpool.
00:06:41
Speaker
And then that's what I wanted to see.
00:06:43
Speaker
And that's what I like to see.
00:06:44
Speaker
At no point did I feel, oh, shit, we seem vulnerable anywhere on the field.
00:06:49
Speaker
We are very good right now, even up front with Havertz.
00:06:53
Speaker
you know, it's, it's habits at the end of the day.
00:06:55
Speaker
So I wasn't like expecting a goal or anything, but you know, he did, he did what he needed to do.
00:07:00
Speaker
He was there in the right, in the right places.
00:07:02
Speaker
He made them runs and obviously, you know, the first goal came because of habits receiving a pass down the, down the center.
00:07:08
Speaker
Obviously he didn't score, which I feel like he probably should have finished that, you know, almost one-on-one with the keeper.
00:07:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:15
Speaker
So, but obviously, you know, the good thing is Saka was there.
00:07:18
Speaker
He finished the, he finished the rebound.
00:07:21
Speaker
And yeah, so, you know, it was a good transition of play to get to that stage, even though, like I said, Havertz probably should have, you know, scored that.
00:07:31
Speaker
It's like, come on, Mike.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's it.
00:07:32
Speaker
If you're being picky, like you would pick on those individuals, he should have finished it because any other game, that ball might have gone the opposite side, not on Saka's side.
00:07:41
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:07:42
Speaker
And then all of a sudden he's missed a one-to-one.
00:07:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker
But yeah, no, to be fair, it was decent.
00:07:47
Speaker
I'm surprised that Van Dijk making mistakes.
00:07:50
Speaker
Yeah, obviously, you know, the second goal, yeah.
00:07:53
Speaker
I mean, to be fair, Van Dijk, it's not like he had a terrific game at all.
00:07:57
Speaker
He had mistakes in him throughout the whole match.
00:08:01
Speaker
And maybe because, you know, you could say weak link in defense in Trent Alexander-Arnold.
00:08:06
Speaker
You know, he was making runs forward, but as usual, he's not running back.
00:08:10
Speaker
And everyone had to be spaced out.
00:08:13
Speaker
Like, you know, Kanata had to cover up and Van Dijk had to cover up.
00:08:16
Speaker
So it was, you know, it wasn't,
00:08:19
Speaker
It wasn't just him or others, it was very fast errors.
00:08:26
Speaker
Oh, we've lost Rick.
00:08:29
Speaker

I was mesmerized by the way they used to fit just perfectly.

I remember my first ever New Era cap, it was a Blue Jays cap.

Hotel Wi-Fi Frustrations
00:09:32
Speaker
You're back now anyway, so I think you should finish your point.
00:09:36
Speaker
Well, there you go.
00:09:36
Speaker
You've gone again.
00:09:38
Speaker
Frozen up.
00:09:40
Speaker
But you can hear me, right?
00:09:42
Speaker
I can hear you now, yes.
00:09:44
Speaker
Even when I'm frozen, can you hear me when I'm frozen?
00:09:46
Speaker
No, no.
00:09:48
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:09:51
Speaker
I think you should probably finish your thought though, you know, before it freezes up again.
00:09:54
Speaker
To be fair, I've lost the thought now.
00:09:55
Speaker
Talking about this thing for so long, I've lost the thought.
00:09:58
Speaker
I don't even know what I was going to say.
00:10:00
Speaker
But yeah, anyway, well done.
00:10:01
Speaker
Commanding victory, great performance.
00:10:03
Speaker
And let's leave it at that.
00:10:05
Speaker
Thank you very much for listening.
00:10:06
Speaker
Have a great evening.
00:10:08
Speaker
Stay safe, stay alone.
00:10:09
Speaker
Catch you on the next one.
00:10:10
Speaker
He's going to smash up the Wi-Fi router right now and just going to storm downstairs at the reception desk.
00:10:15
Speaker
I demand better Wi-Fi.
00:10:18
Speaker
Yeah, man.
00:10:18
Speaker
I was just like, what?
00:10:20
Speaker
What do I pay for?
00:10:21
Speaker
I don't even want the bed.
00:10:22
Speaker
It's just the Wi-Fi.
00:10:22
Speaker
The thing is, I'm not even paying for this.
00:10:24
Speaker
I'm not even paying for this.
00:10:25
Speaker
Oh, that's even worse.
00:10:26
Speaker
Someone stitched you up.
00:10:28
Speaker
Someone stitched me right up.
00:10:29
Speaker
But I came here to this hotel thing because they had the better Wi-Fi.
00:10:31
Speaker
Ah, yeah.
00:10:33
Speaker
uh they advertise it as they had the wifi yeah that's what it is shouldn't believe that wifi hotel shouldn't believe that at all i'm afraid they're lying to you but uh yeah no yeah we were talking about we were talking about the uh the mistakes from uh from liverpool but yeah it was all on on shore really and uh i wanted to ask you that i don't know if you watched it on on match of the day or not but like did you think that was a penalty
00:11:01
Speaker
from McAllister on Havertz.
00:11:03
Speaker
Yeah, 100%.
00:11:03
Speaker
Of course it was a penalty.
00:11:04
Speaker
100% because I don't know who watched that.
00:11:08
Speaker
It's another time when Liverpool get away with it.
00:11:11
Speaker
It's like, why?
00:11:12
Speaker
Literally, Liverpool.
00:11:14
Speaker
I keep saying Liverpool.
00:11:18
Speaker
It is completely biased towards Liverpool.
00:11:20
Speaker
It is.
00:11:21
Speaker
I'm still disappointed on the Chelsea one that we never got that Connor Gallagher one, but obviously we're over it now.
00:11:26
Speaker
I'm not, but... But no, you're definitely not, and I wouldn't expect you to.
00:11:28
Speaker
I wouldn't expect you to be... Even though we won, I still want to harp on about that because that was a clear penalty.
00:11:33
Speaker
Now imagine if it was nil-nil, or you got beat 1-0, and imagine that penalty didn't get given.
00:11:38
Speaker
Imagine that, right?
00:11:39
Speaker
And you were nil-nil.
00:11:40
Speaker
Let's say Liverpool were dominant, and out of the blue, you get a great shot for a pen, and that never comes... Imagine how that would feel.
00:11:46
Speaker
You don't know how it feels because it hasn't happened to you, but imagine how that would feel.
00:11:50
Speaker
the heartbreak and the anger that you would have felt at the fact that the referee was just... Fair enough, the ref.
00:11:56
Speaker
But somebody at VAR never picks it up.
00:11:58
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, they've literally got the power of replay as well.
00:12:02
Speaker
They've got the power of just the leg, you know...
00:12:04
Speaker
go back like rewind oh let me just do that literally yeah bro like you've got the pause in live tv you can do that with a skybox like how can you not do your var when it's like they are using skybox but the wi-fi there but the wi-fi there as well maybe the wi-fi is like the wi-fi i have yeah it's like bt the bastards but i felt literally the way to compare it to you is what you felt when newcastle scored that goal
00:12:24
Speaker
and the ball wasn't out.
00:12:25
Speaker
Yeah, and West Ham.
00:12:26
Speaker
Oh, yeah, but more Newcastle because it first happened to you because West Ham probably a little still angry, but the first time.
00:12:32
Speaker
Yeah, we still used to it.
00:12:33
Speaker
It's all right.
00:12:34
Speaker
It was the first one.
00:12:35
Speaker
It was the first one.
00:12:35
Speaker
You would have been like,
00:12:37
Speaker
the injustice that you would have felt and be like, what?
00:12:40
Speaker
Yeah, it was.
00:12:41
Speaker
That's why I cursed them.
00:12:42
Speaker
That's why I cursed them for a long time.
00:12:44
Speaker
Don't blame me.
00:12:44
Speaker
But maybe I cursed Liverpool.
00:12:45
Speaker
No, I haven't.
00:12:46
Speaker
I don't really care.
00:12:47
Speaker
If you did, that'd be amazing, by the way.
00:12:49
Speaker
But, you know, that's fine.
00:12:50
Speaker
That's fine if you want to help a fellow Londoner.
00:12:53
Speaker
Team, I mean, obviously.
00:12:54
Speaker
No, I don't know what you mean.
00:12:56
Speaker
I can't see.
00:12:57
Speaker
I'll be honest with you, bro.
00:12:59
Speaker
Obviously, anything can happen.
00:13:00
Speaker
There's only three points, two points.
00:13:02
Speaker
But, yeah, I can't...
00:13:04
Speaker
I think Liverpool are not going to win.
00:13:06
Speaker
I still think City, simply because Liverpool and Arsenal have got a couple of draws on them, and City, from experience, can go on an unbelievable winning streak at the minute, and we'll see.
00:13:17
Speaker
But tonight, they played tonight against... Brentford.
00:13:20
Speaker
Against Brentford.
00:13:22
Speaker
I think it's Brentford away, isn't it?
00:13:23
Speaker
Yeah, Brentford away.
00:13:24
Speaker
It should be a decent game, but...
00:13:26
Speaker
Yeah, no, it'll be interesting.
00:13:29
Speaker
I'm glad Arsenal won simply because it keeps the title race wide open.
00:13:33
Speaker
Because if it didn't, it'll go back to that two-horse race, City and another team.
00:13:36
Speaker
You know, every year it's like City and
Chelsea's Tactical Struggles and Management Critique
00:13:38
Speaker
another team.
00:13:38
Speaker
City, Arsenal, last year, City, Liverpool the year before.
00:13:41
Speaker
It's always just City and another team.
00:13:43
Speaker
And this way, having a three-horse race would make that battle between City and Arsenal.
00:13:47
Speaker
Those games coming up, oh, what a great game this will be because both teams have something to win, you know?
00:13:52
Speaker
And...
00:13:53
Speaker
No, I'm excited.
00:13:54
Speaker
I'm excited to see what it does.
00:13:55
Speaker
Because to be fair, this is the only way I get my excitement now.
00:13:57
Speaker
Of course, yeah.
00:13:58
Speaker
You have to be a neutral now.
00:14:00
Speaker
No, we'll talk about my team, to be fair.
00:14:02
Speaker
It's a good segue quickly into it.
00:14:03
Speaker
Did you watch it?
00:14:04
Speaker
Because I think you watched the Chelsea game or were you partially watching it?
00:14:08
Speaker
I watched bits of it.
00:14:09
Speaker
I watched the Col Palma's goal, which I thought, oh, all right, okay, this could be interesting now.
00:14:14
Speaker
I think they could probably go score a couple more.
00:14:17
Speaker
And then I just looked at my phone and it was like 3-1.
00:14:21
Speaker
I thought, what?
00:14:22
Speaker
What happened in between that?
00:14:24
Speaker
Where am I?
00:14:25
Speaker
Yeah, no, what happened in between that?
00:14:26
Speaker
Because it just seemed like, you know, you got the goal, you were doing all right, and it's like, all right, cool, let's carry on.
00:14:32
Speaker
But apparently you just folded like a cheap suit.
00:14:36
Speaker
I don't understand how neither, mate, because I watched that again, speaking from highlights only.
00:14:41
Speaker
That Cole Palmer goal was a great movement.
00:14:43
Speaker
Like, Caicedo with a pass, Palmer with a run from deep, and it's basically what I've been crying out for.
00:14:48
Speaker
By the way, the only good thing that Caicedo did all match, by the way.
00:14:52
Speaker
I saw the highlights, bro.
00:14:53
Speaker
He was awful.
00:14:54
Speaker
How many mistakes did he make?
00:14:55
Speaker
How many mistakes did that guy make?
00:14:57
Speaker
And he's got that in him.
00:14:58
Speaker
Like, I don't understand how, like, there's no consistency with him.
00:15:02
Speaker
We had two games, maybe two game, three game, but I don't even class that as consistency.
00:15:06
Speaker
But let's say for the sake of the argument, he had three games consistency.
00:15:10
Speaker
And all of a sudden, did he think he was world class again?
00:15:12
Speaker
So this game he switched off.
00:15:14
Speaker
I just don't understand how that is possible.
00:15:15
Speaker
How can you be so bad and then be average and then just drop drastically?
00:15:20
Speaker
But yeah, anyway, what I was saying was I saw that movement.
00:15:23
Speaker
I was like, oh yeah, okay, we're on to something.
00:15:25
Speaker
We need a reaction after that Liverpool game where we were spineless.
00:15:29
Speaker
Let's do something in front of our fans.
00:15:30
Speaker
And we're just spineless again.
00:15:32
Speaker
And different start in XI.
00:15:34
Speaker
You think to yourself, okay, now what's going on?
00:15:36
Speaker
There is no... At what point do you point the fingers at the manager and now I'm starting to?
00:15:41
Speaker
We're in February and we're still 11th.
00:15:43
Speaker
with no European football.
00:15:45
Speaker
Okay, people are going to say you had injuries, you had injuries.
00:15:48
Speaker
I understand we had injuries.
00:15:49
Speaker
Everybody gets injuries, but how do you adapt to those injuries?
00:15:51
Speaker
You've got players on there who are international players.
00:15:54
Speaker
Okay, they're young.
00:15:55
Speaker
We're going to hear that argument.
00:15:56
Speaker
Oh, they're young.
00:15:57
Speaker
And I've made this argument.
00:15:58
Speaker
We're transitioning.
00:15:59
Speaker
But what point does it not become transitioning?
00:16:01
Speaker
You know, like last year was all we're transitioning.
00:16:03
Speaker
We got Pochettino.
00:16:04
Speaker
He had a preseason with him.
00:16:06
Speaker
You're like, OK, fine.
00:16:07
Speaker
Because you can make that argument.
00:16:08
Speaker
We've got Graham Potter halfway through.
00:16:09
Speaker
He doesn't know the players.
00:16:10
Speaker
It's not his team.
00:16:11
Speaker
Blah, blah, blah.
00:16:12
Speaker
Whereas Pochettino actually got a preseason.
00:16:14
Speaker
Pochettino got a preseason, got the full time to work with the team.
00:16:17
Speaker
We looked OK in preseason.
00:16:19
Speaker
Nguku got injured and as if all of our hopes fell and we're like, did we rest everything on this one player?
00:16:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:25
Speaker
Apparently so.
00:16:26
Speaker
Well, apparently so.
00:16:27
Speaker
Played against Liverpool that opening day.
00:16:28
Speaker
All right, not too bad.
00:16:30
Speaker
And then that all go, sorry, Chukomenka got injured against Southampton and we got beat.
00:16:34
Speaker
And then everything just went downhill after that.
00:16:36
Speaker
And I was thinking, how have we gone so bad?
00:16:39
Speaker
And the main thing is we look tactic and what's the word I'm looking for?
00:16:45
Speaker
Like we haven't got a clue.
00:16:46
Speaker
That's the word.
00:16:47
Speaker
Let's just go with that simple layman term.
00:16:49
Speaker
We haven't got a clue what we're doing.
00:16:51
Speaker
It's, we're just sideways football.
00:16:53
Speaker
I was telling my dad this, he was like, oh, we got beat.
00:16:55
Speaker
I was like, no, I said, I just watched the highlights today when I was chatting with him.
00:16:58
Speaker
And I said,
00:16:59
Speaker
Every time we got the ball, he was sideways, sideways and back, sideways and back because nobody else moves.
00:17:04
Speaker
You can't even blame the person making the pass because there's no movement up front or no movement in midfield.
00:17:09
Speaker
And then who do you point the finger at?
00:17:11
Speaker
You point the finger at the manager.
00:17:12
Speaker
Why is there no movement?
00:17:14
Speaker
What are we doing?
00:17:15
Speaker
What is our aim?
00:17:16
Speaker
At least Thomas Tuchel came in and he was like, we're transitioning phases.
00:17:19
Speaker
I want to see movements in the right, transition to the left, up front, etc.
00:17:23
Speaker
You see Liverpool, you see Arsenal, the balls on this side.
00:17:26
Speaker
You had a great one-touch ball, I think, when you scored because the commentator mentioned your match of the day and he said, only one player touched the ball twice.
00:17:33
Speaker
And I was like,
00:17:35
Speaker
That's what they're trying to do.
00:17:36
Speaker
That's why it's one touch to make it faster and move.
00:17:38
Speaker
Why can't we do that?
00:17:39
Speaker
Okay, not to that level.
00:17:40
Speaker
Not yet, maybe, but why not?
00:17:42
Speaker
You know, like, what is this manager doing?
00:17:44
Speaker
He's got more experience.
00:17:46
Speaker
But again, I point fingers at the manager now.
00:17:48
Speaker
I'm kind of beyond thinking it's the, yes, it's the players, but I've got a feeling.
00:17:52
Speaker
Do you remember, to give you an analogy, do you remember that teacher at school, maybe you had it, maybe you didn't have it, but who was trying to be pally pally with everyone and nobody respected him?
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:01
Speaker
Or her?
00:18:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:02
Speaker
There was that one person who was like friendly with everybody, down with the kids, trying to be too cool for school, and nobody respected him.
00:18:09
Speaker
Whereas the teacher who was strict, shouted,
00:18:13
Speaker
gave you a bollocking, you were like, oh, no, I can't misbehave in his lesson.
00:18:16
Speaker
I respect.
00:18:17
Speaker
Respect, yeah.
00:18:17
Speaker
Respect and fear.
00:18:18
Speaker
Even when he came to prom, you respected that guy more, or that glass, more than the guy who was giving you all paly-pally and, yeah, you can do whatever.
00:18:27
Speaker
And you're thinking, no, but I don't want to do whatever.
00:18:29
Speaker
I'm a child.
00:18:30
Speaker
You need to tell me what to do.
00:18:31
Speaker
I'm at school.
00:18:31
Speaker
I don't want you to give me this freedom.
00:18:33
Speaker
It's the direction that I need, yeah.
00:18:34
Speaker
I think that's the thing with Poch at the minute he gets to start in 11.
00:18:36
Speaker
He's like, yeah, go have fun.
00:18:39
Speaker
Like what?
00:18:41
Speaker
Like a hippie holistic way of fucking training your players.
00:18:45
Speaker
Like all hipster stuff.
00:18:47
Speaker
You're right.
00:18:47
Speaker
Hippie holistic way of doing it.
00:18:49
Speaker
I remember against Middlesbrough, Cole Palmer did something and the manager turned around and said to him and then Cole Palmer turned around with a face of disgust and anger at his face and he went, what are you talking about or what is going on about?
00:19:01
Speaker
Like that.
00:19:02
Speaker
And I thought like, does he not respect the manager?
00:19:05
Speaker
He might not have been talking to Pochard.
00:19:07
Speaker
I'll never forget it.
00:19:08
Speaker
If that guy does that,
00:19:10
Speaker
he'll be off straight away because you can't do that to a Fergie you can't do that to Arteta definitely not a Klopp or a flipping Guardiola you can't do that to any of these managers so why would you allow that to happen yes he's our top scorer you take him off you teach the rest of them a lesson my way or the highway because at the end of the day you're the one getting sacked these players will continue playing and
00:19:31
Speaker
and it's i don't even feel sorry for him now he needs he needs to grow a backbone and just you can't keep coming out saying oh with this with that no you need to come out and say we're shit we were he even said he even said in the in this post-match conference like interview he said that you know i'm i can't keep saying that we need more time we need more time so yeah because yeah patience is not infinite or something like yeah yeah that's bullshit like don't come out and give me like what i want to hear like i can't keep saying we need more time but that's all you keep doing is coming out saying
00:19:56
Speaker
Oh, we need time.
00:19:57
Speaker
We're a young team.
00:19:58
Speaker
Yeah, that's just another way of saying we need time.
00:20:00
Speaker
Oh, that starting XI, who's injured?
00:20:02
Speaker
Apart from Rhys James, who else is injured on that starting XI?
00:20:04
Speaker
Okay, Colwell maybe, because Colwell would have played.
00:20:07
Speaker
Fafana, another defender, but we haven't had Fafana for two years.
00:20:10
Speaker
We paid 80 million for him.
00:20:12
Speaker
He comes in for a game and then ACL goes.
00:20:14
Speaker
His ACL's made of paper, like a wet paper.
00:20:17
Speaker
And you think, how is this guy?
00:20:18
Speaker
Can somebody put some private fiber in there?
00:20:20
Speaker
Yeah, literally.
00:20:22
Speaker
Half-ripped paper, man.
00:20:24
Speaker
Do you know what?
00:20:25
Speaker
Half-Rip, those papers that you get in your maths book or something, it's got the holes.
00:20:29
Speaker
So it's only connected at some point.
00:20:31
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:32
Speaker
You know which ones I mean?
00:20:33
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:33
Speaker
I don't know the technical name for it, but yeah.
00:20:36
Speaker
And you can't blame this anymore now.
00:20:39
Speaker
Apart from this time 11, now we can.
00:20:41
Speaker
Reece James is probably the only one missing.
00:20:43
Speaker
Thiago's there.
00:20:43
Speaker
De Sasse's there.
00:20:44
Speaker
Buddy Schiele's on the bench.
00:20:45
Speaker
Mudrick is playing.
00:20:46
Speaker
Sterling's in.
00:20:47
Speaker
Palmer's in.
00:20:48
Speaker
I'm sorry for listening to more lobby.
00:20:50
Speaker
Now you start to realise how ridiculous the excuse of injuries is.
00:20:53
Speaker
Jackson comes in he had a header the other day again starting the highlights and everyone's like how the fuck did he miss that he was two yards out with a header and he put it wide
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah, no, it's, you know, it's everything that we discuss every week, but with added shit on top of it, really.
00:21:07
Speaker
It's like, you know, here's an extra edition of how bad these guys were.
00:21:11
Speaker
Now I've kind of had enough though, mate, because it's not just the guys now.
00:21:13
Speaker
Now I feel sorry for the guys because I think the manager's just clueless.
00:21:16
Speaker
I think the guys want to have direction, but this holistic hipster approach as we just labeled it now is, it's not working for them.
00:21:23
Speaker
You know, you know yourself if you're at school, oh, here's a textbook, get the information.
00:21:26
Speaker
That only happens at university when you pay nine grand.
00:21:29
Speaker
Like, here's a question.
00:21:30
Speaker
Go find out.
00:21:31
Speaker
Go write me 2,000 words.
00:21:32
Speaker
Is there any teaching happening?
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah, you teach yourself at the library and wherever you want, but don't forget to do your referencing.
00:21:38
Speaker
Yeah, self-teaching.
00:21:39
Speaker
Like, what the fuck?
00:21:40
Speaker
I'm going to pay nine grand for this year.
00:21:41
Speaker
But yeah, three grand for now with time, but now it's nine grand.
00:21:44
Speaker
But no, that's the bit that we're at.
00:21:46
Speaker
That's the bit that we're at.
00:21:47
Speaker
I'm at with him now.
00:21:48
Speaker
I'm thinking, what are you doing?
00:21:50
Speaker
Like, what are you actually working with these players on the training ground?
00:21:53
Speaker
He said he tried to make Ben Chilwell better.
00:21:55
Speaker
Ben Chilwell's got worse.
00:21:56
Speaker
I know he come back from injury, but he only does one cross a game.
00:22:00
Speaker
How are you making Chilwell better?
00:22:02
Speaker
You've got two defensive midfielders.
00:22:03
Speaker
If Ben Chilwell attacks, just get one of them to drop back.
00:22:06
Speaker
Can I say it, though, just to say drop back, will you, for a bit?
00:22:08
Speaker
Just hang fire.
00:22:10
Speaker
But he doesn't.
00:22:13
Speaker
Maybe that's where the problem is, isn't it?
00:22:15
Speaker
He probably only knows one or two formations, and when they don't work, that's it.
00:22:20
Speaker
Like you said, there is no more ideas because...
00:22:22
Speaker
then he's got to go, hasn't he?
00:22:24
Speaker
He has to go.
00:22:24
Speaker
No, no, I agree, I agree.
00:22:25
Speaker
If that's the case, he has to go.
00:22:27
Speaker
Okay, right, we've said this before, right, he goes now, who are you bringing in?
00:22:31
Speaker
Like, even as a caretaker manager, that's, that's going to, that's going to disrupt, is that going to disrupt more?
00:22:36
Speaker
I don't know, I mean.
00:22:37
Speaker
Massive disruption, it's already there, but you just never know what's going on.
00:22:39
Speaker
I think, to be honest with you, man, like, I heard this, and this is not a bad shout, but I think,
00:22:45
Speaker
it'll ruin some of our players, but I think we need an old school in there.
00:22:48
Speaker
We need somebody with some balls.
00:22:50
Speaker
We need somebody with a bit of respect.
00:22:52
Speaker
We need somebody maybe like Van Gaal, who's their ex-Real Madrid who gave up the Spanish job.
00:22:57
Speaker
Laporte, Laporte, is it his name?
00:22:59
Speaker
Who was at Wolves a couple of years ago, then got sacked?
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah, I'd love to take you.
00:23:03
Speaker
Maybe him, I don't know his name exactly, but yeah, maybe him.
00:23:06
Speaker
Mourinho, bring Mourinho back and just to like, just put a bit of thing into these players because these young players need some guidance because
00:23:13
Speaker
Pochettino's letting them be free and having free young millionaires, they're not going to go to try and get injured.
00:23:19
Speaker
They're not going to play for the badge.
00:23:20
Speaker
They're going to play to get a salary and then be like, I don't really want to get injured now because obviously I want to go do this thing.
00:23:26
Speaker
And rightly so.
00:23:28
Speaker
Nobody wants to get injured.
00:23:28
Speaker
But if you go with the mind of not getting injured, you get injured.
00:23:31
Speaker
When you go in wholeheartedly, 100% commitment, you come out the other end.
00:23:36
Speaker
You may win the ball, you may not, but you come out unscathed.
00:23:39
Speaker
And yeah, we need somebody old school, a Gus Hiddink possibly coming back.
00:23:43
Speaker
somebody to come in and just to be like you know what like this is how it's going to be done because we can't have this potch is i feel like the players do not respect him after watching that cole palmer one i genuinely genuinely felt like who the fuck is he talking to like who is he talking to like that like you know like i'm you know we've got out work if somebody speaks to you like that and you're you know you're their boss who are you talking to yeah yeah you know there's a way of approaching me but that's that's where i'm currently at with this chelsea team and
00:24:11
Speaker
I'll watch it because I'm a fan and I'll be fully invested and emotionally invested.
00:24:15
Speaker
But it just pisses me off seeing our rivals do so well and we've fallen so far behind.
00:24:19
Speaker
It's not even like we're behind.
00:24:20
Speaker
We are so far behind.
00:24:23
Speaker
It's going to take quite a big rebuilding to be fair.
00:24:26
Speaker
Whoever it is.
00:24:27
Speaker
Another billion it's going to take.
00:24:29
Speaker
It's going to take another billion.
00:24:31
Speaker
Unless you can manage to shift some players on for a lot cheaper price, obviously.
00:24:36
Speaker
We won't.
00:24:37
Speaker
Nobody wants to leave an eight-year contract at 100 grand a week.
00:24:40
Speaker
Let's say Mudrick and Lenzo, especially Mudrick from what we've seen, where's he getting another 100 grand a week from?
00:24:46
Speaker
You've just got players sat on your bench, though, haven't you?
00:24:49
Speaker
That's all they are.
00:24:49
Speaker
They're sat in the squad somewhere.
00:24:52
Speaker
but exactly but they're not going to want to move it the player will have the right for them not to move it's not like the states where nfl you've been trading you just like you know chop and change when you want because you own the player like physically own them it's more like oh yeah i give you permission to speak to so and so my agent is going to talk to west ham for example oh they're only willing to pay me 50 now i'll stay at 100 grand i'll say 120 the manager will leave somebody else will come in and i'll have another go and that's
00:25:18
Speaker
And I feel like that is the mentality.
00:25:20
Speaker
And that's just the way it's been.
00:25:23
Speaker
Literally, that's the way it's been.
00:25:24
Speaker
No change has been made.
00:25:26
Speaker
It's the same players that play.
00:25:28
Speaker
It doesn't matter which manager has been on, apart from Tuchel, obviously, who had some fucking clue on how to get the team together.
00:25:36
Speaker
What we need, to be honest with you, what I'd love, right, would be Javi Alonso.
00:25:40
Speaker
but he'll go to Liverpool before he comes to Chelsea, especially with Klopp leaving.
00:25:44
Speaker
Because what he's done in Germany is phenomenal.
00:25:47
Speaker
Absolutely phenomenal.
00:25:48
Speaker
I think they're unbeaten by Leverkusen in all competition.
00:25:52
Speaker
So that just goes to show, and the football they're playing is fantastic.
00:25:55
Speaker
They're ahead of Bayern Munich on the Bundesliga by, I don't know, by, I think, two points or four points or even five.
00:26:02
Speaker
I don't even know how many points they're ahead.
00:26:03
Speaker
You just need Granit Xhaka, mate.
00:26:04
Speaker
That's all he needs.
00:26:06
Speaker
You need these though.
00:26:09
Speaker
Like Todd Bowley fucked us over because he's no experience.
00:26:11
Speaker
You need a Granit Jacker in your team.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:13
Speaker
He might get a red card now and again, but you need him in your team.
00:26:16
Speaker
You need that level of aggression.
00:26:17
Speaker
You need that level of physicality.
00:26:19
Speaker
You know, you can't keep having fair.
00:26:21
Speaker
It's the leadership on the, on the pitch.
00:26:22
Speaker
That's what it is.
00:26:23
Speaker
That's what you need.
00:26:24
Speaker
And when you see him going in and then he'll look at you and be like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:26:27
Speaker
You need to go in for it.
00:26:29
Speaker
don't chicken out all that challenge 50-50 you go in Gallagher does that but Gallagher is still young he doesn't really talk you need a Granit Jackie you need an Olivier Giroud you know and we go back and said I was talking to this lad today and I said oh we had youths then and he was like yeah we did bring some youths in but who did we have in the spine I was like mate don't even talk to me about who we used to have in the spine because that was a dream team for us knowing where we are now like with Cech, JT, Lamps, Didier, Ashley you think to yourself fucking hell that is a team but
00:26:58
Speaker
we are long, long, long away from that.
00:27:00
Speaker
And to be honest with you, I'm ready for this.
00:27:01
Speaker
We are a mid table team.
00:27:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:04
Speaker
If you get conference league, it's a celebration to be like, Oh, we've got European football.
00:27:09
Speaker
And that's how far behind we've fallen.
00:27:11
Speaker
Now we're just a name.
00:27:12
Speaker
We're no longer the team.
00:27:13
Speaker
We're just a name.
00:27:14
Speaker
Chelsea versus Man City.
00:27:15
Speaker
It's like seeing Chelsea versus Crystal Palace.
00:27:17
Speaker
That's, oh, it pains me to say.
00:27:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:20
Speaker
That's right.
00:27:21
Speaker
It's not disrespect to Palace or Brighton or any other team, but you know, it,
00:27:25
Speaker
It's not like what in recent history, Chelsea, man, that's it without trying to go remind people.
00:27:30
Speaker
But Todd Ball, Todd Ball is fucked is over.
00:27:33
Speaker
Todd Ball is fucked.
00:27:34
Speaker
I don't know whether he's got like some hidden agenda.
00:27:36
Speaker
And then we get relegated and be like, ah, fuck you, bitch.
00:27:39
Speaker
Then he goes, takes over Arsenal or something.
00:27:42
Speaker
Takes over Arsenal.
00:27:42
Speaker
It turns out he's an Arsenal fan.
00:27:44
Speaker
He's got a tattoo of Arsenal and is inside his thigh or some shit that nobody.
00:27:47
Speaker
And is in a ass cheek.
00:27:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:49
Speaker
You don't know which one.
00:27:50
Speaker
Love that.
00:27:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:52
Speaker
that's it that's uh we do something like that i'm hoping i don't know rick rick it's uh it's you know i feel like you need therapy when it comes to talking about chelsea because it's uh it it's a massive downfall and you know like we we've discussed it so many times and the the blame just keeps sort of getting passed around but
00:28:15
Speaker
When does it stop?
00:28:16
Speaker
That's the question, really.
00:28:17
Speaker
Where does it stop?
00:28:18
Speaker
Rather than when, where does it stop?
00:28:20
Speaker
Who has responsibility for this team now?
00:28:23
Speaker
Who's stepping in to look after this team?
00:28:25
Speaker
Because, you know, Borle clearly doesn't know how to.
00:28:29
Speaker
And the people that he's bringing in, they just want to be yes-men.
00:28:32
Speaker
And the people who try to obviously say something, they get sacked.
00:28:37
Speaker
And that's the problem because, like you said, that's why I don't think a Mourinho would ever work in this Chelsea...
00:28:44
Speaker
uh squad right now when you consider management because you know he'll want to do things the way that he does like if he wants to tell a hundred million pound player to sit down because he's shit he he needs the right to do that rather than be like oh no well the owner actually you know may want him to play all the time because we pay this much money so get the best out of him and say well no this is literally his limit you you cannot go any further with this guy and mudrick is rapidly reaching that that stage by the way you know
00:29:10
Speaker
it's not just him it's Kaysedo as well mate like Kaysedo 115 like I know he's been what eight months in Chelsea team and he's been awful like Mudrik we talk about Mudrik as well because we had high hopes for him again like that 22nd cameo that he did against Liverpool oh wow and then all of a sudden we're like oh wow oh really yeah and same with same with Kaysedo everybody was saying everybody I mean Chelsea fans were like oh we definitely needed Kaysedo in that midfield and N'Goku on top and Jackson scoring goals and
00:29:39
Speaker
And maybe it is.
00:29:39
Speaker
Maybe it's the management, but you're right.
00:29:41
Speaker
Mourinho come in, he needs to have full authority to do what he wants, how he wants it.
00:29:46
Speaker
And you've got to give the reins over.
00:29:47
Speaker
You have to give him the driving seat and say, take the club where you want.
00:29:50
Speaker
Mourinho tells a story of when he took over, when Abramovich here, and he said, Abramovich said, who do you want?
00:29:56
Speaker
Shevchenko, Lehmann listing strikers here, there, and everywhere.
00:30:00
Speaker
Mourinho went, I want Didier Drogba.
00:30:01
Speaker
I don't know if you've heard this story.
00:30:02
Speaker
And then Abramovich is like, who?
00:30:04
Speaker
And he's like, don't ask Mr. Abramovich, just pay.
00:30:07
Speaker
And the rest is history.
00:30:08
Speaker
So,
00:30:09
Speaker
That's what you've got to have.
00:30:10
Speaker
Fergie did it, Arteta's doing it at Arsenal, Pep, Guardiola, Klopp.
00:30:16
Speaker
They're all being trusted to take the club forward and the management are dealing with the management side of the business rather than the footballing aspect.
00:30:23
Speaker
Todd Ball is trying to do everything or has been doing everything and this is kind of the result of where you have one guy for it all.
00:30:30
Speaker
This is those kind of tradesmen.
00:30:31
Speaker
You need a specialist for the electricity, you need a specialist for Carpenton, you need a specialist for bricklaying and so on.
00:30:37
Speaker
You don't have one guy who says on his van, handyman.
00:30:40
Speaker
Yeah, handyman.
00:30:41
Speaker
That handyman's not going to build you your extension and have it the way it does.
00:30:44
Speaker
He will, but it's not going to be great.
00:30:47
Speaker
It's not going to be the best.
00:30:49
Speaker
You can't ask for good quality anyway or good products.
00:30:52
Speaker
I'll go to you guys, Arsene.
00:30:53
Speaker
Just look at our neighbours.
00:30:54
Speaker
From all or nothing, you back the manager.
00:30:58
Speaker
You don't care how much money the player's on or what kind of brand he is or how he's viewed.
00:31:03
Speaker
you know, you back the manager because that's where success is going to come from because one bad apple, a Bama Young got taken out and now you guys, honestly, I'm so jealous, bro.
00:31:11
Speaker
I'm so jealous.
00:31:12
Speaker
You have no idea.
00:31:13
Speaker
There you go, folks.
00:31:14
Speaker
You heard it.
00:31:15
Speaker
Arsenal playing well.
00:31:16
Speaker
Do you know what else pisses me off?
00:31:18
Speaker
Spurs playing well.
00:31:19
Speaker
Arsenal and Spurs playing well and fucking, and like being above us, like so far above us to the point that we can't even see those motherfuckers.
00:31:27
Speaker
We're like, is that a white and a red dot?
00:31:29
Speaker
What's going on over there in the distance?
00:31:31
Speaker
What is that?
00:31:31
Speaker
That's where you guys are at.
00:31:33
Speaker
And then Liverpool simply because of social groups and stuff like, you know, when you talk to your friends, they're like, oh, yeah, I'm a Liverpool fan.
00:31:38
Speaker
Liverpool have been good for a while, though.
00:31:42
Speaker
I know, but still, it still annoys you when you're that bad.
00:31:45
Speaker
Why are Liverpool being good if we're fourth?
00:31:47
Speaker
Because we're like, oh, I can continue with the transitioning thing again.
00:31:50
Speaker
I can make that argument.
00:31:51
Speaker
I can push that out for a couple of years.
00:31:53
Speaker
We're not transitioning anymore.
00:31:54
Speaker
The only way we transition is flipping backwards.
00:31:56
Speaker
We're 11th in the league.
00:31:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:00
Speaker
And that performance against those guys, it was just awful.
00:32:02
Speaker
We just switched off.
00:32:03
Speaker
Like you said, you took it.
00:32:05
Speaker
And this is the last thing I'll say.
00:32:06
Speaker
Like you say, I was like, like you, 1-0, 1-1.
00:32:08
Speaker
I was like, all right, we'll see what happens.
00:32:10
Speaker
And then I saw 3-1, and then I saw 4-1.
00:32:13
Speaker
I was like, am I in another universe?
00:32:17
Speaker
What multiverse am I in here where walls of Contest Stanford Bridge and 1-4-1 on the back of the performance we had at Anfield?
00:32:24
Speaker
Apparently since 1979, by the way, they hadn't done that.
00:32:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:30
Speaker
Gary O'Neill doing his bits, man.
00:32:32
Speaker
He wasn't even born the last time Wolves won.
00:32:34
Speaker
He wasn't even born at the time.
00:32:36
Speaker
No, he's been terrific.
00:32:37
Speaker
But again, I'm cautious of hyping these managers up for like top Premier League clubs.
00:32:41
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:32:42
Speaker
By the way, yeah, I'm not saying you should go to Chelsea.
00:32:44
Speaker
No, no, he's still got a lot of time.
00:32:45
Speaker
I'm sure you are saying that, but I'm saying no, do not come to Chelsea.
00:32:48
Speaker
Well, you know, you never know.
00:32:50
Speaker
But no, you're right.
00:32:51
Speaker
Obviously, if they're not going to respect fucking Pochettino, who's at least got some sort of resume behind him, they're not going to respect fucking Gary O'Neal.
00:32:58
Speaker
Yeah, especially Todd Ball.
00:32:59
Speaker
He's not going to respect someone called Gary, so... We might need an Eric.
00:33:04
Speaker
We might need a Ten Hag in there.
00:33:06
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:33:06
Speaker
No, you don't.
00:33:07
Speaker
You don't.
00:33:08
Speaker
No, we definitely don't.
00:33:08
Speaker
We definitely don't.
00:33:10
Speaker
You don't need that buzzer.
00:33:11
Speaker
Who is out there, by the way?
00:33:12
Speaker
Let me ask you.
00:33:13
Speaker
Who is out there?
00:33:14
Speaker
Obviously, without being biased towards this and giving me silly answers,
00:33:18
Speaker
If Chelsea sacked Pochettino tonight, who is out there to come to Chelsea?
00:33:23
Speaker
Apart from Jose Mourinho, who was jobless because he got sacked by Roma.
00:33:27
Speaker
And obviously I think... Clop at the end of the season.
00:33:29
Speaker
Clop at the end of the season for a year or two.
00:33:31
Speaker
Just fill his pockets.
00:33:33
Speaker
This is the thing though, man.
00:33:35
Speaker
Whoever comes to Chelsea, they know we've got to struggle and there's no transfer kitty.
00:33:39
Speaker
We've got to raise 100 million so that we don't get financial fair play.
00:33:42
Speaker
So we've got four months to raise 100 million in profit, by the way.
00:33:45
Speaker
In profit.
00:33:46
Speaker
This is not to sell players for 100 million.
00:33:48
Speaker
in profit alone, it's got to be 100 million.
00:33:50
Speaker
So that's, that's Academy players.
00:33:53
Speaker
That's not, nothing else is out there.
00:33:54
Speaker
Lewis Hall will probably go to Newcastle and get a permanent, but, but then, this news coming out, the clubs are going to be like, ah, 25 million pound player, I'll give you 10.
00:34:06
Speaker
Because you're desperate, so you've got to take the 10.
00:34:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:09
Speaker
Of,
00:34:09
Speaker
trying to negotiate 15 because nobody's going to come in for the Chelsea play.
00:34:13
Speaker
For non-Chelsea fans, you know, we look forward to that for sure.
00:34:17
Speaker
We can't wait for that to happen.
00:34:18
Speaker
It's going to be amazing.
00:34:19
Speaker
I can't wait until you turn into a Barcelona and then start changing, what is it, selling the stadium naming rights?
00:34:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:26
Speaker
And be called three stadiums or some shit like that.
00:34:28
Speaker
And you're never going to see the third spot ever, to be fair.
00:34:33
Speaker
So we look forward to that.
00:34:34
Speaker
We look forward to that, really.
00:34:35
Speaker
And, you know, we dream about these scenarios and these moments.
00:34:38
Speaker
And yet they're so close.
00:34:40
Speaker
So, you know, it's all nice.
00:34:43
Speaker
It's that bad.
00:34:44
Speaker
But Rick, obviously, you know, we're trying to, because both of our teams played on Sunday, we're trying to keep this one a bit shorter.
00:34:49
Speaker
We're trying to average out the overall episode.
00:34:54
Speaker
It's too much.
00:34:55
Speaker
But I did want to add one thing, though.
00:34:57
Speaker
I don't know if you saw it.
00:34:58
Speaker
Like at the end of the at the end of the Arsenal match.
00:35:00
Speaker
Did you see Klopp hugging Odegaard?
00:35:04
Speaker
I like I like that kind of shit.
00:35:07
Speaker
it's Klopp's character, isn't it?
00:35:08
Speaker
I like that shit.
00:35:09
Speaker
Even when Martinelli was subbed off, he went and gave him a high five and shit and I was, I like that and he's, that's why he's respected as a manager because he likes the players, you know, he likes players.
00:35:20
Speaker
He's like, yeah, he appreciates, yeah, you're a talent.
00:35:22
Speaker
He appreciates football, yeah, that's it, literally, he loves football.
00:35:25
Speaker
You can tell, like, he likes quality players or he will respect and show you, give you the respect and also the praise that you deserve after a quality performance.
00:35:34
Speaker
I remember when Eddie Howe was at Bournemouth and they,
00:35:36
Speaker
Bournemouth scored against Liverpool.
00:35:37
Speaker
I think it was like 4-1.
00:35:38
Speaker
And Bournemouth just got that goal back.
00:35:40
Speaker
And he turned to the management team and he went, wow.
00:35:43
Speaker
Just wow.
00:35:44
Speaker
And you've got to see that, man.
00:35:46
Speaker
Come on, be serious.
00:35:48
Speaker
This is why I love Klopp.
00:35:49
Speaker
For me, Klopp is quality.
00:35:52
Speaker
Guardiola first, of course, because of what he's achieved.
00:35:54
Speaker
But yeah, definitely.
00:35:55
Speaker
But one thing I wanted to ask you, what did you think about the celebration?
00:35:57
Speaker
Obviously, I put my two pence in on the group chat.
00:35:59
Speaker
But I was thinking like, bro, that was over the top.
00:36:01
Speaker
I'm going to have to put sirens.
00:36:03
Speaker
I'm going to have to put sirens on here because the celebration police are obviously out in full effect.
00:36:09
Speaker
No, definitely.
00:36:09
Speaker
I was just thinking to myself like it was just so necessary.
00:36:12
Speaker
Listen, the victory was fantastic.
00:36:15
Speaker
The victory was fantastic.
00:36:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was an amazing victory.
00:36:18
Speaker
But like, you know, be a bit more hopeful.
00:36:21
Speaker
So let us celebrate it.
00:36:22
Speaker
Yeah, but then what are you going to do if you win the league?
00:36:24
Speaker
What's your next celebration?
00:36:25
Speaker
Because that is winning the league celebration or winning a trophy.
00:36:29
Speaker
Odegaard, I saw him pick up a camera and start taking a picture of the guy who takes the pictures.
00:36:32
Speaker
I was thinking, what's this fucking day away?
00:36:34
Speaker
Like, what's he doing?
00:36:36
Speaker
Like, that is over the top kind of shit.
00:36:38
Speaker
Like, listen, you won three points.
00:36:39
Speaker
At the end of the day, it's a three points.
00:36:40
Speaker
Yes, it's against the current rivals.
00:36:42
Speaker
Yes, it's against the top of the league.
00:36:43
Speaker
Yes, you are currently in the title race.
00:36:45
Speaker
Sounds amazing, right?
00:36:47
Speaker
There isn't a trophy for anything.
00:36:49
Speaker
That's all right.
00:36:50
Speaker
I know.
00:36:50
Speaker
I know.
00:36:52
Speaker
I'd rather have the celebration than keep constantly losing 4-0 and 4-2s and shit like that.
00:36:57
Speaker
So I'm just saying... I'm going to call you a Liverpool fan.
00:37:01
Speaker
I'm going to call you a Liverpool fan.
00:37:02
Speaker
Let's just put it into context though, right?
00:37:04
Speaker
Let's just put it into context.
00:37:05
Speaker
This is coming from a Chelsea fan who has lost the last two matches and emphatically lost the last two matches and sat in a position where, again, a victory to you now...
00:37:17
Speaker
even you wouldn't celebrate a victory from Chelsea because you're like, all right, OK, next match, let's see what you can fucking do, because do you see what I
Arsenal's Celebratory Attitude: Excessive or Justified?
00:37:24
Speaker
mean?
00:37:24
Speaker
So I just put it into context and
00:37:27
Speaker
the fact that the fact that all the celebration for me was like the fact that we went from from uh losing streak just before christmas or during the new year's period and again it just looked bleak to be fair it's like shit we've we're gonna miss out again because of whatever reason you know the player management or whatever it is and then to come back and you know actually beat liverpool in a season where we've drawn against them and then beat them and we've already beat man city once this season look it's
00:37:55
Speaker
You have to celebrate.
00:37:55
Speaker
No, but you didn't celebrate like that against City.
00:37:57
Speaker
I don't understand why you celebrate like that against the... Because Liverpool are a direct, like you said, direct rival right now.
00:38:03
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:38:04
Speaker
Yes, City have got two games in hand and let's just face it, they probably are going to win both those matches.
00:38:08
Speaker
But, you know, right now, I'd rather have the points than two games in hand because anything can fucking happen.
00:38:13
Speaker
So my point being, my point being is like, you know, that is, that is worth celebrating because I feel it's more a celebration of the progress that the team's made rather than just beating Liverpool in that match.
00:38:26
Speaker
It's, it's just to show that, look, you know, I said to, I said to the board, I've said to the fans that I'm going to lead this team to something special.
00:38:34
Speaker
And look, these are little steps that, yeah, of course I fucking celebrate that shit.
00:38:38
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:38:39
Speaker
I would.
00:38:40
Speaker
Bro, nobody said don't celebrate you.
00:38:41
Speaker
I think you misunderstood me, but I think the level of celebration was too far.
00:38:45
Speaker
I think it was beyond.
00:38:46
Speaker
I think it was very much when Klopp took over Liverpool at the first time and they got knocked out in the semi-parallel Europa Cup where everybody started holding hands and they go to the Klopp end and they raise their arms up like, so, way, way.
00:38:58
Speaker
And I was thinking to myself, like, what the fuck is it?
00:39:00
Speaker
Maybe I was wrong for Klopp then because obviously years to come, he won something.
00:39:04
Speaker
But even like to the level of the celebration that you guys did and Arteta, listen, Arteta can do that because it's fine because obviously you beat Liverpool and you're back in the racing.
00:39:11
Speaker
But the rest of the team, I just felt to myself.
00:39:13
Speaker
For me, I was like, that's over the top, lads.
00:39:16
Speaker
Like you really haven't won anything yet.
00:39:17
Speaker
You've won three points.
00:39:18
Speaker
It's the same three points that you could win against.
00:39:20
Speaker
Brighton, Chelsea.
00:39:22
Speaker
It's not those because, again, those teams are not top of the table right now.
00:39:26
Speaker
No, no, they're not top of the table.
00:39:27
Speaker
But still, it's three points, bro.
00:39:28
Speaker
Like, if you don't win anything this year, like, let's say you don't win anything this year.
00:39:32
Speaker
You don't win the league this year.
00:39:33
Speaker
Okay, you're not favourites to win it.
00:39:34
Speaker
You could win it.
00:39:35
Speaker
You've got a very high chance of winning it, but you're not favourites.
00:39:37
Speaker
But let's say you don't win anything this year.
00:39:39
Speaker
then what's it going to be?
00:39:40
Speaker
Like, oh, let's hold on to that time.
00:39:42
Speaker
Yeah, I know, but shit, that's like predicting the future, though, isn't it?
00:39:45
Speaker
That's like predicting the future.
00:39:46
Speaker
No, it's true, but like still, that's the level of celebration.
00:39:48
Speaker
Get your head in the game.
00:39:49
Speaker
Enjoy the celebration.
00:39:51
Speaker
It's like, for me, it's like as if, like, you know, you go on a night out after, you've got a victory or something, you go on a night out to celebrate with your boys, and you get absolutely plastered because you think tomorrow...
00:40:02
Speaker
tomorrow's fine tomorrow's problem is tomorrow but then that kind of spills over and same thing with the celebration I felt you over celebrated the cockiness might have got into it I don't know I could be wrong maybe the players are different maybe Arteta's got the psychological hold on these players enjoy the moment as soon as it gets in the change room it's like nigh celebration finished we focus on the next game which is West Ham or whoever you've got that's what I mean I don't know I don't think so but just there is just like because you did the same last year I don't know who you beat last year and you got I think it was your draw with or your 3-2 against Bournemouth
00:40:31
Speaker
Yeah, when we came back.
00:40:32
Speaker
Yeah, when we came back, when Nelson scored.
00:40:35
Speaker
And I understand that.
00:40:37
Speaker
And it's fine.
00:40:38
Speaker
The moment of like 45 seconds to five minutes.
00:40:41
Speaker
Spoken like a fan whose team hasn't won in a while.
00:40:44
Speaker
So I think you forgot what a celebration is.
00:40:47
Speaker
It's fine.
00:40:48
Speaker
Our first season is the same as your season.
00:40:51
Speaker
Trophy-less.
00:40:52
Speaker
No, it's fine, though.
00:40:53
Speaker
It's all right.
00:40:54
Speaker
No, it's cool.
00:40:54
Speaker
It's cool.
00:40:55
Speaker
Like I said, for me... Go on.
00:40:58
Speaker
for me it's it i feel like it was warranted as a celebration because just when you put everything into into context and whether look whether that's just me being an arsenal fan and i'll read a bit deeper into it that's fair enough that's that's you know i wouldn't expect an opposing fan to like to have that same opinion because for whatever reason so yeah i i feel like yeah it's a warranted celebration
00:41:24
Speaker
because of what we've achieved so far.
00:41:26
Speaker
Yeah, like you're saying, obviously, no real... Well, no trophies.
00:41:30
Speaker
That's fine.
00:41:31
Speaker
I get that.
00:41:31
Speaker
Standard.
00:41:33
Speaker
That is the ultimate achievement.
00:41:34
Speaker
But in terms of where we were to where we are now, again, these things take a bit of time to build up.
00:41:40
Speaker
When Klopp took over, it took him, what, four years, five years to win the first trophy?
00:41:44
Speaker
So it wasn't an immediate... Was it three years?
00:41:47
Speaker
I don't think it was, was it?
00:41:49
Speaker
When did it come?
00:41:50
Speaker
It was 2015.
00:41:51
Speaker
Did it come 2015?
00:41:51
Speaker
2015, yeah.
00:41:54
Speaker
in 2019 this is his eight 16 16 2019 he came in 16 i think didn't he because 24. fucking guardioli came 16. oh guardioli was 16 clock 15. so that's what i'm saying so again so how long has arteta had
00:42:10
Speaker
I think this is his fifth year coming up, but he did win the FA Cup.
00:42:14
Speaker
Here's the question.
00:42:15
Speaker
Okay, so small steps.
00:42:16
Speaker
You're celebrating the victories on the right path.
00:42:18
Speaker
Okay, so you're going for that approach.
00:42:19
Speaker
And that's fine.
00:42:20
Speaker
Okay, you're fine and you celebrate.
00:42:21
Speaker
And you've had, like we've talked many times, what my team has experienced, not to this level, but your team experienced as well.
00:42:26
Speaker
You know, the heartaches and the bit of falling from the top or falling from the heights of the invincible and so on.
00:42:32
Speaker
Okay, an FA Cup here and there.
00:42:34
Speaker
How long do you give Arteta if you don't win the league?
00:42:40
Speaker
When are you expecting Arsenal to win the league?
00:42:42
Speaker
You're making good investments.
00:42:44
Speaker
There's rumours you're going to try and get Ossiman.
00:42:46
Speaker
Is it Ossiman?
00:42:47
Speaker
Help me again out on the pronunciation of the Napoli.
00:42:49
Speaker
Yeah, Ossiman.
00:42:49
Speaker
Ossiman, yeah.
00:42:49
Speaker
So you're trying to get Ossiman to compete with Chelsea for 111, 120.
00:42:53
Speaker
Again, rumours Arsenal will compete with Chelsea to buy Victor Ossiman.
00:42:59
Speaker
You might, you might not.
00:43:00
Speaker
He'll probably pick you over Chelsea because, again, it looks better.
00:43:03
Speaker
Depends what he wants, really.
00:43:03
Speaker
Depends what he wants.
00:43:04
Speaker
Yeah, but, like, you know, it's...
00:43:06
Speaker
You'd like to think he wants football than win trophies.
00:43:08
Speaker
You'd like to think that.
00:43:10
Speaker
And currently, which team is better at winning trophies and plays better football?
00:43:14
Speaker
Unfortunately, it's the red side of London or like North London Reds rather than the fucking West London Blues.
00:43:20
Speaker
And you'd think he'd pick you.
00:43:22
Speaker
So then the question becomes, you're investing well, 100 million on Declan, you're investing really well.
00:43:26
Speaker
How long do you give Arteta if you don't win the league?
00:43:29
Speaker
Coming second and third, second and third, how long do you give him?
00:43:34
Speaker
I think,
00:43:36
Speaker
To be honest with you, I feel like maybe this year should have been or should be the year to win
Arsenal's Future Goals and Trophy Aspirations
00:43:43
Speaker
something.
00:43:43
Speaker
This year should be the year.
00:43:44
Speaker
It should.
00:43:45
Speaker
Again, when I say should slash should have been because obviously the way that last year ended,
00:43:52
Speaker
just maybe a player or two short for it to be this year.
00:43:56
Speaker
And I can't use that as an excuse because it's been two, three Januaries where I've said, shit, we need the players to win the league.
00:44:04
Speaker
And no one was listening to me.
00:44:06
Speaker
And now it's like, oh, yeah, we should have invested in January.
00:44:08
Speaker
So wait a minute, two, three Januaries, that's three years.
00:44:11
Speaker
No, that's what I'm saying to you.
00:44:13
Speaker
Exactly my point.
00:44:15
Speaker
At this point now, we should either have already won the league from last year
00:44:20
Speaker
and you know sort of defending for another title race this year that's where I feel like we should be right now that's where we should be right now you're not there so like that's for me for me I'd say probably maybe one more season after the season what if he comes second or third this season give him one more season with maybe the other two players that he's missing and if he still can't get anywhere close I think that's unfortunately that has to be the this leads into another question for the listeners and I'm sure they're thinking the same
00:44:50
Speaker
Who are the two players that are missing?
00:44:52
Speaker
Or the one or two players that are missing?
00:44:54
Speaker
I'm saying... So I'm saying... You said striker, but... Rather than... Yeah, I was going to say, striker is definitely one of them.
00:44:58
Speaker
Striker slash forward.
00:45:00
Speaker
And... Forward in what sense?
00:45:02
Speaker
Like a winger forward?
00:45:03
Speaker
Like a winger forward, yeah.
00:45:04
Speaker
Like a winger forward.
00:45:06
Speaker
Like a sucker left wing, right wing.
00:45:09
Speaker
Yeah, right wing maybe for Saka to take breaks because, again, he's going to be a crucial part of the team.
00:45:16
Speaker
And if he's injured, then shit, he can't do fuck all.
00:45:18
Speaker
So a strike, an attacking-minded player, so like a right forward, left forward or centre forward because you play with three up top.
00:45:24
Speaker
And then where's the second player?
00:45:27
Speaker
Second player, I'd say probably... Or second position, sorry, that you wanted to strengthen.
00:45:31
Speaker
Probably it would be...
00:45:35
Speaker
next to Declan Rice's party's role, I would imagine like that sort of... That sort of more... More of a box-to-box sort of midfielder rather than use Jorginho, you know, someone a bit younger and someone who's a bit more... But I thought Declan was box-to-box.
00:45:54
Speaker
Has Declan not been box-to-box?
00:45:55
Speaker
The games that I've seen here.
00:45:57
Speaker
They switch when Jorginho plays.
00:45:59
Speaker
Jorginho's a bit more further forward than Declan Rice.
00:46:04
Speaker
And when he doesn't play, it's Declan Rice that's usually a bit more forward.
00:46:07
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:46:08
Speaker
Right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:46:10
Speaker
So I think, yeah, someone in that, another strong midfielder...
00:46:14
Speaker
in that sort of vein, in that area of the pitch, I think that probably would do it.
00:46:18
Speaker
Obviously, you know, if we can get a third player in there, it would be a left back.
00:46:22
Speaker
So, but I only say that because I haven't seen Uri and Timber actually play properly.
00:46:28
Speaker
So I don't know whether he's going to be good or not.
00:46:29
Speaker
And I can't be like, oh, well, yeah, just forget about that position because what if he comes back and shit, it takes him, I don't know, as long as fucking Chilwell and Rhys James to get better.
00:46:39
Speaker
I can't be dealing with that shit.
00:46:41
Speaker
So, yeah, that's, you know,
00:46:43
Speaker
Forget you're in Timber because he'll probably come back and hopefully be good.
00:46:46
Speaker
But if he wasn't there, probably a left back.
00:46:49
Speaker
So let's.
00:46:49
Speaker
OK, then.
00:46:50
Speaker
So then that's what you're saying.
00:46:51
Speaker
So you get these two players next year or this summer because you.
00:46:53
Speaker
OK, you've not won this year.
00:46:55
Speaker
You've come close, a really good performance.
00:46:57
Speaker
Again, an improvement from last year.
00:46:59
Speaker
You probably have lost it.
00:47:00
Speaker
Well, I mean, an improvement from last year would be winning the league.
00:47:02
Speaker
No, no, but let's say another improvement would be getting closer without winning.
00:47:05
Speaker
You know, like how many points were you behind last year?
00:47:07
Speaker
I think you finished eight points behind.
00:47:09
Speaker
Eight points, yeah.
00:47:09
Speaker
No, five points.
00:47:10
Speaker
Five points.
00:47:11
Speaker
So let's say you get within a point of the team winning in Liverpool or City.
00:47:16
Speaker
You get those two players.
00:47:18
Speaker
So what you're saying is with those reinforcements in the summer, you give him another year.
00:47:23
Speaker
And if he doesn't win you the league.
00:47:25
Speaker
League or Champions League, by the way.
00:47:27
Speaker
Let's go League or Champions League.
00:47:29
Speaker
Yeah, of course.
00:47:30
Speaker
He buys more time because he's just won the Champions League.
00:47:32
Speaker
Of course, yeah.
00:47:33
Speaker
He goes trophy-less.
00:47:35
Speaker
But if you win another FA Cup, are you content with that?
00:47:38
Speaker
24-25 next year.
00:47:39
Speaker
So another FA Cup.
00:47:40
Speaker
You've won it a gazillion times now since the competition begun.
00:47:45
Speaker
As a fan, are you content with that finishing second and third season?
00:47:48
Speaker
I'll take second and third in FA Cup any time but that's me but yeah are you content with that another second and third for example let's say second and third again
00:47:57
Speaker
24-25 season, second or third with an FA Cup.
00:48:01
Speaker
Well, without saying, depending on certain factors, then yeah, I wouldn't be content with that.
00:48:06
Speaker
No, not at all.
00:48:08
Speaker
Again, without going into, oh, well, you know, it's a trophy and you could probably get a little bit more, you know, you'd get probably another player that could do it or depends on what the performances were like.
00:48:19
Speaker
Without getting into that, then no, I would definitely, definitely not be content.
00:48:23
Speaker
I think...
00:48:24
Speaker
League or Champions League is overdue right now.
00:48:27
Speaker
Yeah, well, Champions League definitely for you guys.
00:48:30
Speaker
I don't think you've ever won it, have you?
00:48:31
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say, so overdue is probably not the right word because we haven't won it.
00:48:35
Speaker
But definitely the league.
00:48:36
Speaker
No, the league is overdue for Arsenal, to be fair.
00:48:38
Speaker
You definitely need to win the league.
00:48:39
Speaker
And you are playing amazing football.
00:48:41
Speaker
Again, I'm jealous.
00:48:42
Speaker
I said it earlier on the pod.
00:48:44
Speaker
But okay, that's interesting to know.
00:48:45
Speaker
So in your mind, he gets another... I wonder how many more Arsenal fans feel like this.
00:48:49
Speaker
And if you do feel like this, hit us up on Facebook.
00:48:52
Speaker
listeners and let us know are you same as Larry one more year 24-25 with two or three reinforcements no league or Champions League Ateta walks not walks but he's shown the door yeah and then yeah I think over the Barcelona job and then wins the league and Champions League
00:49:09
Speaker
Yeah, wins the travel.
00:49:11
Speaker
Typical everyone leaving Arsenal, that's what they fucking do.
00:49:13
Speaker
Man, Percy the prick.
00:49:16
Speaker
Can you imagine if I did it to left and he goes and wins the Champions League and then La Liga or some shit?
00:49:20
Speaker
With a shit Barcelona team.
00:49:22
Speaker
With a shit Barcelona team.
00:49:25
Speaker
I'd swap teams.
00:49:25
Speaker
If I was you, I'd swap teams.
00:49:27
Speaker
I'd be like, fuck this shit.
00:49:29
Speaker
No, I just stopped the Premier League altogether.
00:49:30
Speaker
Fuck it.
00:49:31
Speaker
I'll just watch Serie A or something.
00:49:33
Speaker
What's his name?
00:49:33
Speaker
Did he win anything?
00:49:34
Speaker
Unai Emery after leaving Arsenal.
00:49:35
Speaker
Did he win anything?
00:49:36
Speaker
Did he win League One?
00:49:38
Speaker
Because I think League-er, sorry.
00:49:40
Speaker
Yeah, no, but I mean, come on.
00:49:42
Speaker
No, but did he win something though?
00:49:43
Speaker
Did he win the league somewhere?
00:49:44
Speaker
Did he win League-er?
00:49:45
Speaker
I don't think he won League-er, did he?
00:49:47
Speaker
I don't know if he won it or not.
00:49:49
Speaker
I don't think he did.
00:49:51
Speaker
But after Arsenal, did he go back to Spain?
00:49:54
Speaker
I think he went back to Seville and I think he won.
00:49:56
Speaker
Yeah, I think he won in Europa League.
00:49:57
Speaker
Yeah, I think he did for another record-breaking time.
00:50:00
Speaker
It's like... Yeah, Seville or VRL.
00:50:03
Speaker
I think he won it with VRL.
00:50:03
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:04
Speaker
There you go.
00:50:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's amazing how he never won with an Arsenal team.
00:50:08
Speaker
Yeah, it is.
00:50:09
Speaker
Fuck it.
00:50:09
Speaker
It is what it is, man.
00:50:10
Speaker
But I think that's all you need, though.
00:50:11
Speaker
You need to break that curse.
00:50:12
Speaker
Once you break that curse, I think trophies are coming your way.
00:50:15
Speaker
But again, it's going to take money.
00:50:16
Speaker
In this day and age, the investments, people like Todd inflated the prices ridiculously.
00:50:23
Speaker
So yeah, you need to pay because...
00:50:25
Speaker
City will pay.
00:50:26
Speaker
If the strikers quality, City are going in.
00:50:28
Speaker
And if City are going in, you really, really need to pull something out the bag.
00:50:31
Speaker
And I think the only thing you can do is financially throw more money at the player and be like, come to us because we'll give you an extra 50, 100 grand more percentage on signing bonus and goals or whatever the hell is going on.
00:50:43
Speaker
So you need some sort of incentive.
00:50:45
Speaker
Okay, mate.
00:50:45
Speaker
Okay, that's interesting to hear that.
00:50:47
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, literally, I thought, but then again, where I am, I take the first, sorry, second or third,
00:50:53
Speaker
for the next Spurs, Spursian syndrome of the next 10 years, I'll be like third or second, bro.
Chelsea's Resilience Amid Struggles
00:50:59
Speaker
I will never forget these years as a Chelsea fan.
00:51:01
Speaker
No, I wouldn't much so.
00:51:04
Speaker
I will never forget these.
00:51:05
Speaker
If and when the glory days come, I will never forget these years.
00:51:09
Speaker
Yeah, I was out.
00:51:10
Speaker
We are humbled.
00:51:11
Speaker
Humbled.
00:51:12
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:13
Speaker
Sit down.
00:51:14
Speaker
Yeah, literally sit down.
00:51:18
Speaker
Sit down.
00:51:21
Speaker
yeah no you can't stand up again kevin hard in a bitch i got these yeah but i feel like kevin hard there without trying to join into that controversy between the two of them and all that conspiracy shit um after kat williams kind of made that joke first obviously kevin changed the things when he went kat wasn't skilled standing up to spell he goes teacher when kat stand up
00:51:44
Speaker
bitch hamster.
00:51:46
Speaker
Cat Williams in Pimpin' Pimpin', I think, Pimpin' Chronicles, whichever one with the green shirt, that's one of the ultimate, yeah, that's the ultimate, or one of the ultimate fucking stand-up comedies of all time.
00:51:57
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:51:58
Speaker
Quickly on this, did you know he kind of has his own, he owns the shows, he kind of, when he gets there, he self-funds, so he owns 100% of the intake.
00:52:08
Speaker
Well, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised at all that shit that he's been talking.
00:52:12
Speaker
Exactly.
00:52:13
Speaker
Well, again, I'm just going off what he said, but other people have come out and said, actually, no, he doesn't.
00:52:16
Speaker
He pays really well to other comedians.
00:52:18
Speaker
But yeah, moving on, moving on.
00:52:19
Speaker
Back to Liverpool.
00:52:20
Speaker
Back to you guys.
00:52:22
Speaker
Yeah, no, that's good.
00:52:23
Speaker
I also wanted to talk a little bit about Man United.
00:52:27
Speaker
Coming good.
00:52:28
Speaker
Or like getting some performances and like, it's a bit of a piss take, isn't it?
00:52:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's not a fun thing to watch, really.
00:52:36
Speaker
I don't like it because it's a guy called Eric.
00:52:39
Speaker
It's my boy Eric.
00:52:40
Speaker
I don't like it.
00:52:42
Speaker
I don't like it.
00:52:43
Speaker
So I think with United, though, I think maybe next season, if they have a strong end to this season and maybe get into Europe, one of the European competitions, I think Ten Hag, they're going to invest quite heavily for him, to be fair.
00:52:58
Speaker
Because they'll probably, obviously, they'll see that it's like, oh, shit, it's only...
00:53:02
Speaker
it's only certain players that I needed that I can obviously that we can and then we can actually challenge and it could become like a fucking far away horse title race you know what I mean it's that could be that could be even more interesting yeah that that that would be the best thing when like all these top teams really like yeah when it's an actual top six yeah like title race that would be amazing I would enjoy that really much
00:53:25
Speaker
And you put your team up each time, yeah, of course.
00:53:28
Speaker
Well, no, no, the thing is, I think, obviously, you know, if it ever gets to that, then it just becomes more competitive.
00:53:33
Speaker
And whoever wins will be a deserving winner, you know?
00:53:37
Speaker
Rather than, oh, it's only Man City against Liverpool in the last five, six seasons.
00:53:42
Speaker
You know, this time it'll be, oh, shit, wait, it's actually seven teams.
00:53:46
Speaker
Any one of them could win this league.
00:53:48
Speaker
And whoever does will just be like, yeah, okay, we won this on merit.
00:53:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:53
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:53:53
Speaker
Like, we beat six other teams to be here right now.
00:53:56
Speaker
So, yeah, with my United, and look, it was always going to be a matter of time before something happened with them, something good, you know.
00:54:04
Speaker
Bad cycles don't last forever.
00:54:05
Speaker
They'll last for a long time, but they won't last forever, you know.
00:54:09
Speaker
As soon as you said they won't last forever, you thought of Chelsea and you went, actually, they do last for a very long time.
00:54:16
Speaker
But no, I was thinking more like, you know, ourselves as Arsenal and Liverpool for like, you know, who went 30 years without winning the league.
00:54:25
Speaker
So it's... So, you know, again, it's a long period of time and hopefully...
00:54:30
Speaker
hopefully it doesn't go any longer than 20 years for Arsenal now.
00:54:33
Speaker
So in terms of the league, hopefully this could be the perfect 20-year anniversary.
00:54:38
Speaker
And long may continue for Man United, eh?
00:54:40
Speaker
Well, not the upturn, the downturn, obviously.
00:54:43
Speaker
Yeah, the downturn.
00:54:44
Speaker
Long may continue the sort of downturn of not winning and the cycle turning around.
00:54:48
Speaker
Please.
00:54:48
Speaker
For them, it's infinite.
00:54:50
Speaker
They have a special category.
00:54:52
Speaker
Why are they so hated, by the way?
00:54:53
Speaker
Do you think why they're actually Man United fans and Man United as a club are like hated?
00:54:58
Speaker
I understand the global brand and their reach is incredible because of those glory.
00:55:02
Speaker
Because they refuse to be humbled.
00:55:04
Speaker
They refuse to be humbled even though they have been on many occasions and Liverpool proved that well last season when they just slapped them.
00:55:10
Speaker
What was it?
00:55:11
Speaker
7-1?
00:55:11
Speaker
7-0, I think it was.
00:55:13
Speaker
7-0.
00:55:14
Speaker
Wow.
00:55:15
Speaker
After that, I would have shot up if I was a Man United fan, but they didn't.
00:55:18
Speaker
They just kept hanging.
00:55:20
Speaker
I took my top off and started wearing light blue and going like, I don't know who you're talking about.
00:55:23
Speaker
I'm a City fan the whole time.
00:55:24
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:55:25
Speaker
I lived in the City Centre all the time.
00:55:26
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:55:28
Speaker
So yeah, I think it's, yeah, hopefully nothing good comes of it for Man United.
00:55:37
Speaker
But look, this is the beauty of the league.
00:55:39
Speaker
A bit of investment, new owners come in, makes it a bit more interesting.
00:55:43
Speaker
Not as if Newcastle would have any battle in this season at all to be considered in that top seven or whatever it is, because they've been average at best.
00:55:54
Speaker
I think he'll get the sack if they don't win.
00:55:56
Speaker
Sorry, if they don't win.
00:55:57
Speaker
If they don't make Champions League, I think they'll get the sack.
00:55:59
Speaker
He'll get the sack.
00:55:59
Speaker
Because they've had a taste now.
00:56:01
Speaker
Their owners have had a taste for Champions League.
00:56:03
Speaker
They know the amount of money it brings in, especially with financial fair play.
00:56:06
Speaker
All you can do now is big deals.
00:56:09
Speaker
And the only way you're going to do that is by doing.
00:56:12
Speaker
Speaking of big deals, I don't know if you heard this rumor.
00:56:14
Speaker
Apparently, Air Jordan, the brand Jordan, is looking to sponsor either Chelsea or Tottenham.
00:56:22
Speaker
But it's not decided between the two because he wants to see which one of them has got a bigger reach and which one of them is going to play in New York next year.
00:56:30
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:56:32
Speaker
We'll have the bigger reach than Tottenham because of our recent past in terms of winning trophies and stuff.
00:56:35
Speaker
So our global reach will be bigger.
00:56:37
Speaker
Which is winning trophies in general, yeah.
00:56:39
Speaker
That's it.
00:56:39
Speaker
That's the early.
00:56:42
Speaker
So I think Jordan will probably look at that and be like, wait, these guys haven't won anything.
00:56:46
Speaker
Shit, I'm a six-time NBA champion.
00:56:49
Speaker
What the fuck am I going to do with these idiots?
00:56:51
Speaker
So, you know, you never know.
00:56:52
Speaker
You never know.
00:56:53
Speaker
So hopefully it does because we need a bit more money for this financial fair play.
00:56:56
Speaker
But yeah, it was interesting to see that.
00:56:57
Speaker
And also I found it interesting is when they said Spurs is the richest club in London or like financially better off than all the other clubs in London.
00:57:06
Speaker
So like because of their new stadium, I think that's what they're putting it down to.
00:57:09
Speaker
Like the amount of
00:57:12
Speaker
It's incredible stuff.
00:57:15
Speaker
So now, fuck.
00:57:15
Speaker
Commercial, isn't it?
00:57:17
Speaker
Commercial, commercially better off rather than richer.
00:57:21
Speaker
Yeah, commercially better off.
00:57:22
Speaker
So each year, I think they generated close to 800 million last year or something.
00:57:26
Speaker
NFL and F1 had definitely partnered with them.
00:57:31
Speaker
And then obviously, they have, didn't they have the Taylor Swift concert or something?
00:57:34
Speaker
Or a Rihanna concert or something?
00:57:35
Speaker
I think they have many concerts there.
00:57:36
Speaker
That's the thing, yeah.
00:57:37
Speaker
So they've opened it to like sort of an arena.
00:57:38
Speaker
Similar to what Mike actually was trying to do with Jim.
00:57:41
Speaker
Yeah, well, that's it.
00:57:42
Speaker
I'd do the same thing.
00:57:44
Speaker
I'd do exactly the same thing.
00:57:45
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:57:46
Speaker
But we can't.
00:57:46
Speaker
It can't happen at Stamford Bridge because the stadium is old, 40,000.
00:57:50
Speaker
It's not enough.
00:57:50
Speaker
You need 60 plus, really.
00:57:53
Speaker
but that's not going to happen anytime soon.
00:57:55
Speaker
No, okay, my mate.
00:57:56
Speaker
Well, I don't really have much to say on anything else.
00:57:58
Speaker
No, same.
00:57:59
Speaker
I think it's all been covered, really.
00:58:01
Speaker
And obviously, we'll be back at the end of the week.
00:58:04
Speaker
We'll discuss some predictions and whatnot.
00:58:07
Speaker
Predictions, very quickly.
00:58:08
Speaker
Villa versus Chelsea.
00:58:09
Speaker
What's your prediction?
00:58:10
Speaker
Because, yeah, we play on Wednesday.
00:58:11
Speaker
Oh, you play on Wednesday?
00:58:13
Speaker
Oh, right.
00:58:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:13
Speaker
Bear in mind, Villa got beat by Newcastle for the first time since February 2023 at home.
00:58:19
Speaker
Not just by Newcastle, but by any team.
00:58:21
Speaker
But yeah, we played this Wednesday.
00:58:23
Speaker
So let's quick predictions.
00:58:24
Speaker
Coventry versus Sheffield United.
00:58:25
Speaker
Oh, do you know what?
00:58:28
Speaker
I can even see Coventry winning that.
00:58:30
Speaker
Sweet.
00:58:30
Speaker
Me too.
00:58:31
Speaker
I don't really think of a score, but let's go with just that for now.
00:58:34
Speaker
Plymouth Argyle versus Leeds United.
00:58:37
Speaker
Ah, Leeds need to win that for sure.
00:58:39
Speaker
Southampton Watford.
00:58:42
Speaker
Ooh, Southampton.
Villa vs Chelsea Match Predictions
00:58:44
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:45
Speaker
Northern Forest, Bristol City.
00:58:48
Speaker
Now, Knott's Forest, obviously they're a Premier League team, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
00:58:53
Speaker
I'll go with them.
00:58:54
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to go with them.
00:58:55
Speaker
If they get BT, a new non-easter, like really take a look at himself in the mirror.
00:58:58
Speaker
Give the fans something to cheer about, like another FA Cup and then so on.
00:59:03
Speaker
And then obviously the big one, this is where I do want a prediction, a score prediction, not a win or lose.
00:59:07
Speaker
Villa versus Chelsea.
00:59:11
Speaker
It's a Villa Park.
00:59:13
Speaker
Villa Park.
00:59:15
Speaker
And Chelsea have just come back from an absolute slapping.
00:59:19
Speaker
Two games, eight goals.
00:59:22
Speaker
Oh, good God.
00:59:23
Speaker
And Villa, obviously, they're not going to be happy that they lost to Newcastle.
00:59:27
Speaker
They lost to Newcastle, but then they won.
00:59:29
Speaker
And they did what I was expecting Chelsea to do and react.
00:59:32
Speaker
And they won five nil against Sheffield United.
00:59:35
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:59:37
Speaker
I think...
00:59:39
Speaker
I think Villa are going to win, mate, I'm afraid.
00:59:40
Speaker
I think it's going to be like a 2-1 or a 3-1 or something.
00:59:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think the same, to be fair.
00:59:46
Speaker
I think we're going to get beat.
00:59:48
Speaker
I'm still going to predict Chelsea winning 2-1 because it's my team and it's in my heart.
00:59:52
Speaker
But logically speaking, an educated guess is probably... Yeah, I can't see us making the next round, to be honest with you.
01:00:00
Speaker
The past two performances, I really can't see us making the next round.
01:00:05
Speaker
But I still think that you'll win the Carabao Cup, though, which is weird.
01:00:08
Speaker
Yeah, but...
01:00:09
Speaker
fucking car about cop mate like you know it's like you said the other day it's like you know it's not even the cup for me it's like yourself it's like yeah i want to win but i want a performance in a convincing performance you know like you said like against how sweet did that win against liverpool feel to the point where you took your phone and started taking pictures of everybody around your house and did it why don't you take your phone rather go to martin's house and go i didn't get a picture of me yeah outside your house
01:00:35
Speaker
that would take a little bit but like what I was trying to say is like same as you felt that's the kind of that euphoric feeling that I want yes the victory is sweet but you want a convincing performance you will not just be entertained but you want to believe to beat your team think like yeah wow that was really really good that was longevity that's what I want I want consistency and that's why like I can't see I can't see that just anyway I don't want to talk about it anymore it's depressing depressing as fuck well I'm sure we'll talk about the Chelsea loss at the end of the week when this happens so
01:01:05
Speaker
Now, should I save it?
01:01:07
Speaker
No, the listeners are going to want to know Lewis Hamilton to
Rumors and Speculations about Lewis Hamilton's Move to Ferrari
01:01:10
Speaker
Ferrari.
01:01:10
Speaker
What are your thoughts?
01:01:12
Speaker
I'm so glad.
01:01:13
Speaker
I'm so glad.
01:01:14
Speaker
I'm so glad.
01:01:15
Speaker
I'm so glad you reminded me.
01:01:17
Speaker
Yeah, I've reminded you this because obviously the listeners want to know about this.
01:01:20
Speaker
We've got some questions we need to answer.
01:01:21
Speaker
There's some listeners who want to know our joint Arsenal team, our England team.
01:01:25
Speaker
which we promised that we'll do that.
01:01:27
Speaker
It's a secret.
01:01:28
Speaker
It's locked up in a safe right now.
01:01:30
Speaker
It's in an ISA right now.
01:01:32
Speaker
That's literally where it's at.
01:01:33
Speaker
It's in an ISA.
01:01:34
Speaker
Yeah, it's in an ISA right now.
01:01:35
Speaker
We're still mulling it over.
01:01:36
Speaker
Hey, look, Hamilton to Ferrari.
01:01:39
Speaker
Fuck.
01:01:42
Speaker
I don't know.
01:01:43
Speaker
I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation maybe last season on the podcast.
01:01:48
Speaker
I'm sure we had a conversation about this where...
01:01:52
Speaker
we probably just joked around the fact that Hamilton going to Ferrari and trying to beat Michael Schumacher's record in a Ferrari, which would be epic, which would be epic.
01:02:02
Speaker
And yeah, massive surprise.
01:02:06
Speaker
And even though it had been sort of rumored for quite a bit, you know what I mean?
01:02:11
Speaker
But it was more like silly rumors rather than anything concrete.
01:02:14
Speaker
And then when the news broke, it was just, I still couldn't believe it.
01:02:18
Speaker
I still couldn't believe it until later on.
01:02:20
Speaker
F1 actually put out the statement to say that he's signed a contract.
01:02:25
Speaker
But personally, if Lewis Hamilton's gone there on a big contract, then obviously he wants some guarantees to be like, look, I'm leaving Mercedes, who have potential to come back stronger in 2025.
01:02:40
Speaker
But I'm thinking Lewis is probably thinking of 2026.
01:02:44
Speaker
when the new rule changes come into play.
01:02:48
Speaker
So maybe he's like, well, shit, I did it with Mercedes once.
01:02:50
Speaker
Let me go and try and do it with Ferrari.
01:02:52
Speaker
Do it with Ferrari.
01:02:53
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:53
Speaker
And how sweet would that be to break the record in a Ferrari by the guy who was effectively the face of Ferrari?
01:02:58
Speaker
You think of Ferrari, you think of Schumacher.
01:03:01
Speaker
Okay.
01:03:02
Speaker
Past couple of years, he's been off because of his injury and so on.
01:03:07
Speaker
And he's not been in the media and like this kind of stuff.
01:03:09
Speaker
But...
01:03:10
Speaker
He's been, you know.
01:03:11
Speaker
He still is, yeah.
01:03:12
Speaker
You think Ferrari is synonymous with it?
01:03:14
Speaker
Michael, you think Michael?
01:03:15
Speaker
That's it.
01:03:15
Speaker
That's the only way to go for it.
01:03:17
Speaker
And part of me felt Lewis Hamilton just wanted to kind of get to those limited edition Ferraris and his car collection before he retires from the sport.
01:03:22
Speaker
He thought, like, what can I do?
01:03:23
Speaker
Right, let me join Ferrari.
01:03:25
Speaker
Yeah, I'll get those limited editions.
01:03:26
Speaker
Yeah, let me have a chat with them.
01:03:28
Speaker
Oh, here's a new Ferrari FXXK, Street Legal.
01:03:32
Speaker
He wants that F2004.
01:03:33
Speaker
Whatever it is.
01:03:35
Speaker
That's what he wants.
01:03:37
Speaker
Just being the name, because I'm sure they'll have something that's so limited edition that's only like the Sultan of Bunein and Saudi Arabia.
01:03:44
Speaker
Especially made for them and stuff like that.
01:03:46
Speaker
And Lewis.
01:03:47
Speaker
And he'll be like, here I am.
01:03:49
Speaker
Honestly,
Excitement for Upcoming F1 Season
01:03:50
Speaker
I'm excited.
01:03:50
Speaker
I'm so excited.
01:03:53
Speaker
But even for the following year to see Lewis in red,
01:03:56
Speaker
it's going to be so interesting.
01:03:57
Speaker
But he needs a good car because you can't do that to Lewis Hamilton.
01:04:01
Speaker
Doing that to Lewis Hamilton is what Chelsea are doing to Thiago Silva.
01:04:04
Speaker
He's had a great career and we're just making him look shite.
01:04:07
Speaker
You can't do that to Lewis because if Lewis is finishing fourth or fifth and getting overtaken by George Russell, getting in a Mercedes, McLaren's overtaken, flipping Alpine coming over and possibly overtaking him, you just can't do that to Lewis Hamilton.
01:04:20
Speaker
No, no.
01:04:21
Speaker
I think you'd probably have that option in his contract where it's like one plus one.
01:04:24
Speaker
Yeah, I forgot about the rule change in 26.
01:04:27
Speaker
So yeah, you made a very good point that he's probably thinking, I'll go 25 and then 26, I'm there already.
01:04:33
Speaker
Because you can help develop the 2026 car, you know, that's, so it could, it makes sense when you think of it that way.
01:04:39
Speaker
But obviously, no one would ever thought that he was going to, he was going to move.
01:04:42
Speaker
So yeah, I'm super fucking excited and
01:04:45
Speaker
I cannot wait for next season.
01:04:47
Speaker
Fuck this season.
01:04:48
Speaker
Whatever happens, I don't give a shit.
01:04:50
Speaker
But next season... I'm excited for this season, to be fair, to see what Mercedes are doing.
01:04:52
Speaker
Because I'm sure Toto is not really going to settle for that.
01:04:55
Speaker
And Christian Horn just wants to keep going further and further.
01:04:58
Speaker
And Ferrari aren't always too far back.
01:05:00
Speaker
They're never too far back.
01:05:02
Speaker
So it could always be like one...
01:05:04
Speaker
one decent change to the car or strategy, that's it.
01:05:07
Speaker
Ferrari could be, you know, in with a shout of winning it.
01:05:10
Speaker
So yeah, you never, you never know.
01:05:11
Speaker
It's going to be, it's going to be fun.
01:05:13
Speaker
It really is.
01:05:13
Speaker
And I think the, I think the release of their cars of the 2024 cars is like sometime in February, sometime mid February, they're going to have the car launches and next month in March, new season starts.
Anticipation for 'Drive to Survive' and NASCAR Series
01:05:27
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:27
Speaker
When is the first race in Bahrain, isn't it?
01:05:30
Speaker
No, no.
01:05:30
Speaker
I think,
01:05:31
Speaker
Because it's not Australia anymore.
01:05:32
Speaker
No, no, it's Bahrain this season.
01:05:34
Speaker
I think from next season, it'll be back to Australia.
01:05:37
Speaker
I think that's the way it's working.
01:05:40
Speaker
But I could be wrong.
01:05:41
Speaker
But I think that's what it is because I'm pretty sure I heard it with my own ears.
01:05:45
Speaker
If you heard it with your ears, then it must be happening.
01:05:47
Speaker
And we've got Drive to Survive as well at the end of February.
01:05:49
Speaker
That's going to be exciting to watch.
01:05:51
Speaker
Drive to Survive.
01:05:52
Speaker
Did you watch the NASCAR one?
01:05:53
Speaker
I'm watching it right now.
01:05:54
Speaker
You're watching it right now.
01:05:56
Speaker
But not as we speak.
01:05:57
Speaker
Of course not.
01:05:58
Speaker
Very rude conversationalist if you're watching something else.
01:06:02
Speaker
But no, all right, my mama.
01:06:03
Speaker
Listen, great seeing you.
