The Absence of Robert O'Leary and Channeling His Energy
00:00:50
Speaker
Let's fucking get it, boy.
00:00:53
Speaker
I am ready.
00:00:54
Speaker
Stoked.
00:00:55
Speaker
I'm bringing some trash talking shit because we got a missing person today, Brian.
00:01:01
Speaker
You want to elaborate a little bit more on this missing person situation?
00:01:14
Speaker
On the record.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yes.
00:01:32
Speaker
It's fair.
00:01:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:01:47
Speaker
Yeah, a focal point of the fuckery and the absolute crazy banter that we hope to get and expect from a one Robert O'Leary will not be provided today.
00:01:57
Speaker
But nevertheless, I shall be bringing some of that energy for him in replacement.
00:02:03
Speaker
In a certain degree, I'm extending the hand a little bit to Mr. O'Leary.
00:02:07
Speaker
I got your back.
00:02:08
Speaker
I'm coming for some crazy, crazy shit.
00:02:11
Speaker
I think you're going to like O'Leary.
00:02:13
Speaker
So we'll see.
00:02:14
Speaker
I hope I do you proud, you crazy fuck.
00:02:27
Speaker
That's right.
00:02:38
Speaker
Love it.
00:03:02
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:04
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:06
Speaker
That's right.
00:03:08
Speaker
Mars.
00:03:15
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:18
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:21
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:03:31
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:03:32
Speaker
Nine total changes.
00:03:36
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:36
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:03:40
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:03:42
Speaker
So you saw that too?
00:03:43
Speaker
It wasn't just us?
00:03:44
Speaker
It wasn't just us?
00:03:45
Speaker
Okay, good.
00:03:46
Speaker
Just making sure.
00:03:47
Speaker
Making sure that was a thing.
Excitement of Midweek Football Fixtures
00:03:52
Speaker
I mean, look, Brian, I think this is a great place to start because you get early in the year.
00:03:57
Speaker
We want and love and appreciate a good midweek fixture, a good opportunity to get some ball in the midweek.
00:04:05
Speaker
Get, you know, hey, you're having a bad week.
00:04:07
Speaker
You're having a good week.
00:04:08
Speaker
Whatever's going on with your work and your personal life, a good midweek fixture to just get you going into the weekend morning to where you can just enjoy embrace a full day of nothing but ball watching.
00:04:19
Speaker
So you get the sprinkled in midweek fixture.
00:04:22
Speaker
You never fully anticipate to get a blessing of an absolute shambolic behavior by a trending.
00:04:30
Speaker
He's like Supreme five years ago.
00:04:32
Speaker
This guy's trending upwards.
00:04:34
Speaker
Everyone's loving him.
00:04:36
Speaker
God, I love the cocaine in the 80s reference.
00:04:38
Speaker
It's so spot on.
00:04:40
Speaker
Everyone's on it.
00:04:41
Speaker
I mean, I started to sip it for a little bit.
00:04:44
Speaker
And then I had to remind myself as I looked through transfers, Laporte denied this fuck.
00:04:50
Speaker
It's.
00:04:55
Speaker
Great name to add to it.
00:04:56
Speaker
Another Spanish.
00:04:57
Speaker
Well, Laporte's French Spanish.
00:04:58
Speaker
I don't know what the fuck he is anymore.
00:05:00
Speaker
Shout out to Laporte.
00:05:00
Speaker
Thank you for your service.
00:05:02
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:05:02
Speaker
I think at this point, you got to laugh at the fact that we saw Fulham kind of trending upwards, doing the thing, starting the year off with some fight and some scrappiness to him.
00:05:12
Speaker
It's Fulham.
00:05:13
Speaker
What the fuck do you expect?
00:05:15
Speaker
They have a pretty decent squad.
00:05:17
Speaker
And this is not, I don't know, FC Wimbledon.
00:05:22
Speaker
Dare I say Chelsea who almost squeaked away with one themselves.
00:05:26
Speaker
But this isn't a squad where you can necessarily do nine changes.
00:05:30
Speaker
But per Angball and Ang we trust, he does it.
00:05:33
Speaker
And look what fucking happens to him.
00:05:35
Speaker
What a moron.
00:05:49
Speaker
The only...
00:05:53
Speaker
Opium.
00:06:37
Speaker
Yep.
00:06:45
Speaker
And for good reason.
00:06:48
Speaker
I think there's a little bit more structure there.
00:06:50
Speaker
I'm not even going to take that as a diss to Brighton.
00:06:53
Speaker
It's more of a reality check to Tottenham, which it should be because financially –
00:06:59
Speaker
There's probably
Tottenham's Managerial Decisions
00:07:00
Speaker
something to it too.
00:07:01
Speaker
I would say they didn't necessarily want to commit to everything that needed to be done for the Fati deal.
00:07:05
Speaker
We can speak more of that when we get to Brighton and their portion and look at their total window.
00:07:10
Speaker
But what I would say is Tottenham have real, real suspect situation here because you got a puppet as a manager who came in and can convince you that there's a good ball going.
00:07:19
Speaker
But now this guy...
00:07:20
Speaker
while being a puppet, is failing at his job just when you thought everything was going so smoothly.
00:07:25
Speaker
And you got to say he failed at his job because, quite frankly, you can't make those changes and not trust in the club.
00:07:30
Speaker
His reasoning after the match, if you saw the quotes, was how am I supposed to trust that?
00:07:35
Speaker
How am I supposed to see if some of these players can do it in these games?
00:07:40
Speaker
And I'm thinking to myself, yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:46
Speaker
Yes, that's what's preseasoned.
00:07:47
Speaker
That's exactly right.
00:07:48
Speaker
But that's for like, I don't know, when you play Middlesbrough.
00:07:53
Speaker
That's not when you necessarily play Fulham or when you play another Prem team or it's this early or it's the Carabella Cup.
00:08:01
Speaker
If you want to do that later on, you know, in the Prem after you, it's that one off weekend where you just feel good about it and you get an Everton.
00:08:10
Speaker
I feel you.
00:08:11
Speaker
I feel you.
00:08:13
Speaker
No one's knocking that.
00:08:14
Speaker
You got to assess.
00:08:15
Speaker
You're always assessing.
00:08:16
Speaker
That's the job of a manager.
00:08:18
Speaker
But sir, you botched it.
00:08:20
Speaker
And this is what this is.
00:08:22
Speaker
You can get away with it in previous locations.
00:08:26
Speaker
This is not fucking Australia, big boy.
00:08:28
Speaker
You can't be fucking doing this shit.
00:08:31
Speaker
This is the fucking Premier League.
00:08:33
Speaker
And for that, watch Levy knock on his door.
00:08:36
Speaker
I'd love to see what the puppet does.
00:08:37
Speaker
I'd love to see how the puppet responds because ultimately a man can only take so much.
00:08:42
Speaker
Look at Antonio Conte.
00:08:43
Speaker
Look at Jose Mourinho.
00:08:44
Speaker
Look at Pochettino.
00:08:45
Speaker
We can go on and on and on with the managers and how things work and operate there.
00:08:50
Speaker
Puppet today, fuckery tomorrow is what I expect with this whole situation.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:32
Speaker
laughable.
00:09:33
Speaker
That's right.
00:09:52
Speaker
Yes.
00:09:53
Speaker
No, at St.
00:09:53
Speaker
James.
00:09:54
Speaker
Yep.
00:10:00
Speaker
Well,
00:10:04
Speaker
Eddie's entire situation, too, looks a little bit tighter with a particular draw today.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:29
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:10:29
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:10:31
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:10:36
Speaker
It's incredible.
00:10:56
Speaker
Incredible.
00:10:57
Speaker
Incredible odds.
00:10:58
Speaker
Fucking take them to Vegas.
00:10:59
Speaker
Take the whole fucking squad, the whole team, and take them to Vegas and put it on whatever the fuck they want because they have incredible odds.
00:11:06
Speaker
You got to love it.
00:11:07
Speaker
Got to love it.
00:11:08
Speaker
Don't know how they do it.
00:11:28
Speaker
There it is.
00:11:35
Speaker
There it is.
00:11:36
Speaker
There it is.
Champions League Group Analysis: Newcastle, Dortmund, Milan
00:11:43
Speaker
There it is.
00:12:06
Speaker
You got it, man.
00:12:07
Speaker
Got it up.
00:12:22
Speaker
Solid.
00:12:23
Speaker
Solid.
00:12:32
Speaker
Decent.
00:12:42
Speaker
There are three teams in that group that play good ball, and I'm willing to argue with anyone that that's the case.
00:12:49
Speaker
We'll talk about it.
00:12:50
Speaker
We'll talk about it later.
00:12:51
Speaker
We'll talk about it.
00:13:04
Speaker
That's a decent group now that I look at it.
00:13:07
Speaker
Decent group.
00:13:08
Speaker
For the life of me, you can't tell me who's the third best team in that.
00:13:12
Speaker
That is so hard.
00:13:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:26
Speaker
Yeah, go D. Decent.
00:13:36
Speaker
Decent.
00:13:43
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:45
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:05
Speaker
It's incredible.
00:14:07
Speaker
No, this is incredible.
00:14:09
Speaker
This is incredible.
00:14:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:30
Speaker
Any.
00:14:31
Speaker
Yes.
00:14:40
Speaker
That's a red star.
00:14:43
Speaker
Yeah, Estrella Roja, Red Star.
00:14:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:59
Speaker
Yep.
00:15:13
Speaker
So this is the group where this is a good situation where finishing second, is that going to be a potential team that finishes second and paves the way for that?
00:15:28
Speaker
Those teams that finish second in the group got themselves a good little segue because if you remember last year, the team that finished second actually had the easier matchup.
00:15:40
Speaker
There was the Milans on the one side, and it was cakewalk with what they had going.
00:15:46
Speaker
So the fact that this is a group that hard now, but if you get out of this and you squeeze in that second, you can actually line yourself up for a good little road.
00:15:57
Speaker
A good little road.
00:15:59
Speaker
I struggle with seeing, I think if I'm looking at the team who immediately gunned to my head, I had to take one out.
00:16:07
Speaker
Dortmund, I think you might struggle.
00:16:11
Speaker
I think Milan have it with just the offensive explosion.
00:16:18
Speaker
I think you can, I gotta be consistent.
00:16:21
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:16:23
Speaker
The pedigree matters.
00:16:24
Speaker
The pedigree matters with Milan.
00:16:25
Speaker
I can speak to it with dealing with the other side of it, but yes, absolutely.
00:16:29
Speaker
You're right on that point, but this is where I have to be consistent on my thesis here.
00:16:33
Speaker
Some of these Prem teams in the first year, I gotta see it first.
00:16:38
Speaker
I gotta see it first.
00:16:52
Speaker
Yes.
00:16:54
Speaker
Major factor.
00:17:01
Speaker
And that's where just in the thinking of it.
00:17:03
Speaker
Okay, so, so, so, so.
00:17:06
Speaker
Newcastle at home versus Dortmund.
00:17:08
Speaker
Go for it.
00:17:10
Speaker
Immediately.
00:17:10
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:39
Speaker
Fatinia is going to be okay.
00:17:46
Speaker
Madrid, Asensio.
00:17:49
Speaker
Oh, Concaves.
00:17:52
Speaker
Yeah, Ramos.
00:17:54
Speaker
Con Claves Ramos.
00:18:03
Speaker
Oh, Ugarte.
00:18:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:17
Speaker
Yeah, all right.
00:18:18
Speaker
You got PS.
00:18:18
Speaker
Who's your two?
00:18:19
Speaker
That's where I want to press you right now.
00:18:21
Speaker
Who's the second team coming out this group?
00:18:24
Speaker
That's what I was thinking.
00:18:26
Speaker
That's what I was thinking.
00:18:31
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:25
Speaker
It's fortitude.
00:19:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:53
Speaker
I'm taking
00:19:56
Speaker
That's the, absolutely.
00:19:57
Speaker
But I got two different folks coming out that group.
00:20:00
Speaker
You're going, you're going PSG Milan.
00:20:05
Speaker
I'm going PSG Dortmund.
00:20:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:17
Speaker
And in fairness, I want to make sure I'm accurate in that sleeper.
00:20:21
Speaker
Yes, you're right.
00:20:22
Speaker
We anticipate them to always get to that knockout stage.
00:20:24
Speaker
But I think they're going to be trouble in the sense that I trust Luis Enrique to figure it the fuck out.
00:20:34
Speaker
and really make that team a formal, formal adversary, at least attacking.
00:20:39
Speaker
I mean, I'm thinking they're putting four or five goals on folks' heads.
00:20:43
Speaker
I'm going with an upset because I think every year there's an upset.
00:20:47
Speaker
And I'm going sole factor on the fact that this –
00:20:51
Speaker
I'm going Newcastle to botch it and play a different tactics against Dortmund and them capitalizing.
00:20:57
Speaker
And I'm going with inconsistencies with Milan and just the fact that I think there's a little bit of something on Dortmund thinking.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah, we're probably, everyone's thinking we're the easiest out.
00:21:13
Speaker
Let's get something out of it.
00:21:14
Speaker
Let's push and show who we are.
00:21:16
Speaker
Because actually, when you look at it lately, Dortmund have been the second best in this group.
00:21:24
Speaker
Just in the last four or five years, Dortmund have gone farther than Milan and Newcastle.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:33
Speaker
And that's what I talk about when I mean like some of these clubs that I'm going to also talk about in the other groups where they've played it.
00:21:41
Speaker
They're not European giants in the sense, but they're European contenders.
00:21:45
Speaker
Every year they're playing in it.
00:21:49
Speaker
It's nothing new to them.
00:21:50
Speaker
And that I trust more than some of these other teams that are a little bit more flashier, attacking, and
00:21:56
Speaker
are up and coming.
00:21:58
Speaker
I trust it.
00:21:59
Speaker
And I'll give more examples as we go on.
00:22:00
Speaker
But yeah, Brian, absolutely.
00:22:02
Speaker
This group is going to be must-watch TV.
00:22:05
Speaker
Any matchup, I've got to see.
00:22:15
Speaker
Yeah.
Union Berlin's Rise and Bundesliga Strength
00:22:20
Speaker
In the power rankings, I'm going group C.
00:22:28
Speaker
I'm going group C. Yeah.
00:22:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:48
Speaker
Union Berlin.
00:22:52
Speaker
First time getting it.
00:22:54
Speaker
played their way into top four, wild team, attacking team.
00:23:01
Speaker
I think this could be a year that depending on the circumstances, you find the rare, is the Bundesliga good?
00:23:13
Speaker
Do they have good players, good clubs?
00:23:17
Speaker
Is this something to where we're kind of questioning it?
00:23:19
Speaker
But
00:23:20
Speaker
I don't know.
00:23:22
Speaker
I mean, I'm telling you, they play some good ball.
00:23:25
Speaker
Napoli and Madrid, you're not shoo-ins.
00:23:29
Speaker
Yeah, you're not shoo-ins for top two here.
00:23:32
Speaker
You're not shoo-ins to get out of this group.
00:23:34
Speaker
You get a draw, and one of you fuck up with Braga.
00:23:39
Speaker
Look out.
00:23:41
Speaker
Look out.
00:23:49
Speaker
Napoli.
00:23:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:00
Speaker
Yeah, the... Or Jude does Jude things.
00:24:10
Speaker
I don't know if you've been looking, but Jude has been doing Jude things.
00:24:13
Speaker
So...
00:24:16
Speaker
I'm fucking happy he's not in the Premier League if he didn't go to us.
00:24:20
Speaker
Because that man, oh my gosh, he is a game changer.
00:24:35
Speaker
Yes.
00:24:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:42
Speaker
Yeah, I have to.
00:24:44
Speaker
I have to agree.
00:24:45
Speaker
I can't.
00:24:45
Speaker
I can't.
00:24:46
Speaker
I can talk them up, but I don't think they'll be doing that.
00:24:49
Speaker
While I predict upset, I'm going Dortmund in the other group.
00:24:52
Speaker
Braga and Berlin, they're not going to be able to keep up.
00:24:55
Speaker
But it's good to see Union Berlin and Europa.
00:24:58
Speaker
That'll be a little bit more fun, too.
00:24:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:07
Speaker
Really?
00:25:11
Speaker
Really?
00:25:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:44
Speaker
Hey, Cardi.
00:25:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:09
Speaker
Ass.
00:26:10
Speaker
Don't expect much out of them.
00:26:12
Speaker
I think it's going to be trouble for them.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yeah, this is a good group, Brian.
00:26:15
Speaker
You know, again...
00:26:18
Speaker
I don't see it with United.
00:26:21
Speaker
I just don't see it.
00:26:22
Speaker
This is a team where for me, Europe lately has been a problem.
00:26:29
Speaker
There are question marks.
00:26:31
Speaker
And I think Bayern are shooing into winning this group.
00:26:35
Speaker
I think they will win it.
00:26:37
Speaker
You're making things spicy with Galatasaray.
00:26:40
Speaker
I completely agree with you.
00:26:41
Speaker
They are dangerous.
00:26:44
Speaker
They could get a couple draws and a couple points and steal some shit to maybe make it a little interesting on that last day of group stage.
00:26:55
Speaker
I actually think it ends the way it looks right now.
00:26:58
Speaker
Just Bayern and United.
00:27:00
Speaker
I think United somehow are going to get through.
00:27:02
Speaker
But it'll be dicey.
00:27:03
Speaker
It'll be dicey and spicy.
00:27:05
Speaker
And I'll look.
00:27:06
Speaker
I'll be watching.
00:27:07
Speaker
Because if they don't.
00:27:08
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:27:13
Speaker
And if you're united right now, let's be honest, you must, you must do this.
00:27:18
Speaker
You must proceed.
00:27:20
Speaker
You cannot not get out of this group.
00:27:23
Speaker
This is an, look at it.
00:27:24
Speaker
You've been blessed once again with circumstances that you are not in group F right now.
00:27:30
Speaker
You are blessed.
00:27:31
Speaker
So with that being said, you must get out of it.
00:27:35
Speaker
And if you don't, oh my gosh, the reckoning, the reckoning.
00:27:51
Speaker
Sexy.
00:27:56
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:27:59
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:28:34
Speaker
Very much so.
00:28:35
Speaker
Very much so.
00:28:36
Speaker
I actually think Salzburg can do a little something.
00:28:38
Speaker
Sociedad as well.
00:28:41
Speaker
Inner, again, Inner are going to be pretty consistent.
00:28:45
Speaker
Nzaghi's doing things over there.
00:28:47
Speaker
But Benfica's the one that I got going through.
00:28:50
Speaker
Benfica is the one that I think will proceed.
00:28:53
Speaker
And I got...
00:28:54
Speaker
I think Benfica will win the group.
00:28:56
Speaker
100%.
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah, I think Benfica will be going into the knockouts as part of that group that have won it.
00:29:05
Speaker
So I got Benfica and Inter going through.
00:29:11
Speaker
I like it.
00:29:12
Speaker
I like it.
00:29:12
Speaker
It's a really good balanced group.
00:29:13
Speaker
I agree with you.
00:29:23
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair.
00:29:26
Speaker
Probably socially glad.
00:29:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:32
Speaker
I'm going F. I'm going C. I'm gonna go...
00:29:43
Speaker
No, I have to agree.
00:29:43
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
00:29:45
Speaker
That's probably, it's the balance of it all.
00:29:48
Speaker
Top to, you know, Sociedad's really up there in Salzburg.
00:29:51
Speaker
I give them respect.
00:29:52
Speaker
I've been dealing with the Red Bulls every year for the last few years now.
00:29:56
Speaker
So I can give a little light as to the games that we play against them, both Leipzig and Salzburg.
00:30:00
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:30:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:28
Speaker
Group B. I rate it.
Arsenal vs Sevilla: Champions League Prospects
00:30:33
Speaker
Anytime you got a group where there is a European champion in it.
00:30:37
Speaker
You got to give respect.
00:30:39
Speaker
Sevilla, Arsenal, PSV, and FC Lens, which Lens can do a little something to it.
00:30:49
Speaker
I think PSV is just literally getting farmed every year.
00:30:52
Speaker
They're getting rid of, I think, one more, two more guys.
00:30:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:55
Speaker
100%.
00:30:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:47
Speaker
French speedy wingers.
00:31:50
Speaker
I don't know much about anything else there either, but it's going to come down to Arsenal Sevilla.
00:31:57
Speaker
It's going to come down to, you know, I do see both of them coming out, but again, another situation to where you're looking at the group stage, you're looking at what you've done and you're asking yourself is second, the better route.
00:32:12
Speaker
It's going to be tighter situations.
00:32:16
Speaker
It's going to be how does the group finish?
00:32:20
Speaker
Obviously, if you're Arsenal, and again, I'm staying consistent.
00:32:23
Speaker
It goes to Newcastle.
00:32:24
Speaker
It goes to Arsenal.
00:32:26
Speaker
I got to see United.
00:32:29
Speaker
I got to see it in Europe first.
00:32:31
Speaker
I gotta see it.
00:32:33
Speaker
As someone who has just watched my team, arguably one of the best teams in all the land, for the last decent amount of five, six years, I have seen my team climb and climb and climb and deal with the different type of shit.
00:32:47
Speaker
You have got to show me that you can show up on a Wednesday night, because guess what?
00:32:52
Speaker
You don't play on Thursdays anymore.
00:32:54
Speaker
That's great.
00:32:55
Speaker
It's Tuesday, Wednesday nights.
00:32:57
Speaker
It's big boy nights.
00:32:58
Speaker
The big lights are on.
00:33:00
Speaker
So it'll be fun.
00:33:01
Speaker
It'll be fun to see how these teams show up.
00:33:06
Speaker
But I'm going with experience here.
00:33:08
Speaker
And I'm going with Sevilla coming out the group and winning it.
00:33:17
Speaker
Oh, I'm going Sevilla, Arsenal, exactly how it looks.
00:33:20
Speaker
PSV and Lens.
00:33:25
Speaker
No.
00:33:25
Speaker
No.
00:34:20
Speaker
Yeah, that'll be interesting.
00:34:22
Speaker
The other thing is, I think it's also fair, like we approach Eddie Howe with the shambolic behavior of Miguel Arrata the last year in Europa.
00:34:33
Speaker
We have got to have cautionary eyes as to how he approaches some of these games.
00:34:39
Speaker
And...
00:34:42
Speaker
Oh, I'm not talking about resting.
00:34:43
Speaker
I'm not talking about resting.
00:34:45
Speaker
I'm talking about Thomas Partey at right back conversations.
00:34:48
Speaker
I'm talking about situations where when it comes time to go at folks and substitutions.
00:34:54
Speaker
And wasn't that a big deal last year, too?
00:34:56
Speaker
You guys put in like like a couple substitutions later in the game.
00:34:59
Speaker
And you guys were thinking like, what the fuck?
00:35:00
Speaker
Why did we put those guys in in the circumstances?
00:35:03
Speaker
So, you know, again, what was it?
00:35:05
Speaker
Sporting Lisbon last year?
00:35:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:21
Speaker
I'll be very curious and interested how Miguel approaches it.
00:35:25
Speaker
And I'm open slated to him, to Ten Hag, and to Eddie Howe.
00:35:29
Speaker
I am on suspect watch with those three.
00:35:32
Speaker
Because as the Premier League folk and the representation is there for the points and all this other shit, I want to see it.
00:35:39
Speaker
I want to see it.
00:35:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:56
Speaker
It's a coin flip.
00:36:00
Speaker
It's a coin flip.
00:36:03
Speaker
Yeah, I'll go Group A. Feyenoord, because they won their league, you gotta give them... Oh, have I not done Group A?
00:36:13
Speaker
Then Group A, yeah.
00:36:14
Speaker
Yeah, I'll go Group A here.
00:36:18
Speaker
Yep.
00:36:19
Speaker
Yep.
00:36:25
Speaker
Yep.
00:36:26
Speaker
And then B. Group A. Yeah, Group A. Juggernauts.
00:36:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:38
Speaker
No, no, no, you can't.
00:36:39
Speaker
You can't.
00:36:40
Speaker
No, I agree.
00:36:46
Speaker
This isn't a bad group, though.
00:36:48
Speaker
Atletico, I think, are going to be there.
00:36:51
Speaker
Fazio attacking.
00:36:57
Speaker
Celtic always do a little something.
00:36:59
Speaker
Always do a little something.
00:37:02
Speaker
Yeah, but potential 2-0 lead and then get a 2-2 draw against Madrid or something like that kind of thing.
00:37:08
Speaker
I see that.
00:37:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:15
Speaker
So for time's sake, I'm going.
00:37:18
Speaker
Atletico, Lazio, Feyenoord, and Celtic.
00:37:36
Speaker
That'll be interesting.
00:37:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:59
Speaker
It is.
00:38:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:45
Speaker
Jesus.
00:38:47
Speaker
He's a baller.
00:38:48
Speaker
Shout out Yavin.
00:38:50
Speaker
Yeah, he is.
00:38:54
Speaker
Yeah, he's going to ball.
00:38:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:59
Speaker
Xavi's got balls.
00:39:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:17
Speaker
Oh, sure.
00:39:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:23
Speaker
No, me too.
00:39:25
Speaker
Same.
00:39:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:32
Speaker
A couple big clubs missing, 100%.
00:39:34
Speaker
You got to love to see it.
00:39:36
Speaker
This group, I don't know, man.
00:39:38
Speaker
I think it's a joke, and I think Barcelona and Borto are going to walk it.
00:39:43
Speaker
Shakhtar and Royal Antwerp, I hope they can give us the joy that we all want in our life, which is somehow getting a 3-2 win over Barcelona.
00:39:52
Speaker
But I just don't see it.
00:39:54
Speaker
I just don't see it.
00:39:55
Speaker
And so I'm going to settle for...
00:39:58
Speaker
Exactly how it looks.
00:39:59
Speaker
Barcelona, Porto, Shakhtar, and Royal Antwerp.
00:40:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:40:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:41:08
Speaker
It's a weak-ass group, and I'm just blessed to be able to say that we get Leipzig again.
00:41:14
Speaker
It's going to be fine-tuning for us in some of these games, playing with formations, seeing how we can kind of defend against some of these low blocks we're going to have to deal with with Young Boys and Red Star.
00:41:29
Speaker
And that's fine.
00:41:31
Speaker
Leipzig should be good.
00:41:33
Speaker
I actually like, from a...
00:41:36
Speaker
Focusing on what we have to do to win and get the three points approach.
00:41:40
Speaker
I like the difference in styles that we have to go against.
00:41:43
Speaker
It'll be good preparation.
00:41:45
Speaker
Because when you're champions of Europe, that's what you're doing at the group stage.
00:41:49
Speaker
You're doing preparation.
00:41:50
Speaker
It's not really worrying about getting the fuck out the group.
00:41:52
Speaker
I mean, let's be honest.
00:41:54
Speaker
That's how everyone else comes into it the following year as a champion.
00:41:57
Speaker
And now as the first time as being European fucking champions, we're doing the same type of mindset.
Manchester City's Champions League Strategy
00:42:02
Speaker
Group stages for us to fuck around and play.
00:42:05
Speaker
Period.
00:42:05
Speaker
Bar none.
00:42:06
Speaker
We will be there.
00:42:07
Speaker
Shout out to fucking city.
00:42:08
Speaker
Reigning fucking champions of Europe.
00:42:11
Speaker
Blessed with the fucking balls today.
00:42:13
Speaker
You love to see it.
00:42:15
Speaker
And we move.
00:42:16
Speaker
It's going to finish exactly how it looks.
00:42:18
Speaker
You're absolutely right.
00:42:19
Speaker
There's no point to maybe even change it with young boys and red stars.
00:42:23
Speaker
Because it truly doesn't matter.
00:42:25
Speaker
Although they'll be getting Europa, right?
00:42:27
Speaker
They'll be getting some Europa dough.
00:42:29
Speaker
Which is good.
00:42:30
Speaker
So, I don't know.
00:42:32
Speaker
We'll see.
00:42:37
Speaker
That one's dead last.
00:42:38
Speaker
That one's dead last.
00:42:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:44
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:42:45
Speaker
Group G's ass.
00:42:48
Speaker
Easy.
00:42:49
Speaker
Fine-tuning for us.
00:42:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:07
Speaker
Yes, sir.
00:43:10
Speaker
Oh, that is correct.
00:43:14
Speaker
Going into the weekend, current score of 19 to 18 after a great week by you.
00:43:19
Speaker
A couple bullseyes and one goal score.
00:43:23
Speaker
Goal scores haven't been good to either of us.
00:43:26
Speaker
One a week, although I did have one week where I had two.
00:43:31
Speaker
Same week you had none.
00:43:32
Speaker
Wild.
00:43:33
Speaker
So you've only had one a week.
00:43:35
Speaker
I've had one where we've only had two.
00:43:37
Speaker
So we've yet to have all three points from goal scorers.
00:43:39
Speaker
We've been shit at picking them.
00:43:41
Speaker
But a couple bullseyes, we're right into it.
00:43:43
Speaker
We're grooving at this point.
00:43:44
Speaker
You got a one-point lead.
00:43:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:02
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:44:44
Speaker
West Ham.
00:44:46
Speaker
West Ham.
00:44:47
Speaker
Do they do a West Sham?
00:44:50
Speaker
I don't think so.
00:44:52
Speaker
Listen, I think there's expectations for what we need to have.
00:44:54
Speaker
We need to be consistent with how teams spend and how teams get things done.
00:44:58
Speaker
They've turned $100 million from Declan Rice into some really, really good players.
00:45:02
Speaker
And you've given David Moyes, David fucking Moyes, more toys and more...
00:45:12
Speaker
options to kind of figure it out.
00:45:14
Speaker
Which is so fucking funny because it's David fucking Moyes.
00:45:20
Speaker
So shout out to them, man.
00:45:21
Speaker
I got to be respectful of the situation.
00:45:23
Speaker
It looks good.
00:45:24
Speaker
And it's an easy opponent.
00:45:26
Speaker
This is where we need to start questioning going into the international break.
00:45:30
Speaker
The overhype of a certain Tottenham going into this week.
00:45:34
Speaker
I think we should probably be doing the same about West Ham in about a week or so.
00:45:39
Speaker
Calm down, you Irons.
00:45:40
Speaker
It's not quite there yet.
00:45:43
Speaker
But they'll get the win.
00:45:45
Speaker
I am going 3-1 West Ham.
00:46:15
Speaker
36.
00:46:15
Speaker
Shut up.
00:46:30
Speaker
Fucking hell.
00:46:38
Speaker
That's ratchet ass shit.
00:46:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:46:43
Speaker
Yes, it is.
00:46:45
Speaker
I don't see them getting four wins.
00:46:49
Speaker
Do you see them getting four wins?
00:46:50
Speaker
And if so, who are they?
00:47:02
Speaker
I was going to guess.
00:47:20
Speaker
Yeah, I don't disagree.
00:47:22
Speaker
They're bad.
00:47:24
Speaker
I went 3-1 West Ham.
00:47:32
Speaker
You won't pick a score.
00:47:35
Speaker
You won't pick a score.
00:47:40
Speaker
He has.
00:47:44
Speaker
There are.
00:47:50
Speaker
I will.
00:47:51
Speaker
I agree.
00:47:52
Speaker
I agree.
00:48:00
Speaker
Easy.
00:48:01
Speaker
Easy.
00:48:10
Speaker
Wow.
00:48:12
Speaker
Wow.
00:48:16
Speaker
Wow.
00:48:18
Speaker
I'm a bit bothered.
00:48:21
Speaker
But I get it.
00:48:26
Speaker
I get it.
00:48:27
Speaker
You know, the funny thing about this.
00:48:34
Speaker
Everton have not scored a goal in the Premier League this year.
00:48:40
Speaker
Oh, did they?
00:48:41
Speaker
1-0 Sheffield.
00:48:56
Speaker
You're right.
00:49:28
Speaker
A little bounce back from Frank and them boys.
00:49:34
Speaker
Yeah, I don't see anything spicy coming up with the cherries.
00:49:36
Speaker
I don't see it.
00:49:39
Speaker
Brentford still finding a way to attack.
00:49:43
Speaker
Dare any of us to put in Boo-You as a score.
00:49:45
Speaker
I'm going 2-1 Brentford.
00:50:21
Speaker
Now it's time to have a chat.
00:50:31
Speaker
It's time to have a chat.
00:50:32
Speaker
We need to have a conversation.
00:50:35
Speaker
We need to have a conversation.
00:50:37
Speaker
I want to be clear with you.
00:50:40
Speaker
I was wrong.
00:50:43
Speaker
I was wrong.
00:50:45
Speaker
I was drastically wrong.
Burnley's Bold Prediction Against Spurs
00:50:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:47
Speaker
Let me be very absolutely quite frank.
00:50:54
Speaker
Spurs are going to look good.
00:51:00
Speaker
Burnley struggle right now.
00:51:07
Speaker
I don't get it.
00:51:09
Speaker
I really don't get it.
00:51:12
Speaker
And I was wrong.
00:51:14
Speaker
2-1 Burnley.
00:51:15
Speaker
Vincent Company will get it the fuck done.
00:51:19
Speaker
I back this team.
00:51:20
Speaker
I'm going to be there in heart and in spirit at Turf Moor.
00:51:25
Speaker
And I know for a simple fact that Company is doing great things.
00:51:31
Speaker
How do I know this?
00:51:32
Speaker
I don't.
00:51:33
Speaker
But I'm going to talk shit like I do.
00:51:35
Speaker
Burnley, 2-1 over Spurs.
00:51:39
Speaker
And Big Ang has some more questions to ask going into international break.
00:51:47
Speaker
Talk me into it, damn it.
00:51:48
Speaker
You talk me into it.
00:51:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:24
Speaker
Yeah, same.
00:52:25
Speaker
Same.
00:52:25
Speaker
I don't trust either of them.
00:52:36
Speaker
I don't know what kind of Chelsea we're going to get.
00:52:39
Speaker
I know we're going to have an aggressive force team.
00:52:43
Speaker
I know Stevie Cooper's doing his thing, running a deli in the Fordham section of the Bronx.
00:52:50
Speaker
And I know, love a pastrami sandwich on rye.
00:52:56
Speaker
Holy God.
00:52:59
Speaker
Just switched the dinner plans up.
00:53:00
Speaker
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:53:03
Speaker
Chelsea are going to have themselves a fight.
00:53:07
Speaker
They had themselves a fight midweek and got out of it.
00:53:11
Speaker
They rested, did do some changes, but ended up bringing on a few players.
00:53:18
Speaker
I want to make sure I'm very clear on what Chelsea are.
00:53:20
Speaker
They are a young player ruining club.
00:53:23
Speaker
If you're a young player and you go to Chelsea, your career is ruined.
00:53:28
Speaker
You're ruined.
00:53:30
Speaker
Cole Palmer, I'm looking at you.
00:53:32
Speaker
Cole Palmer, I'm looking at you.
00:53:37
Speaker
The thing, and I want to address this later on with City, but I don't get it with him.
00:53:43
Speaker
I'm really bothered by it.
00:53:46
Speaker
It's not a smart move for me.
00:53:48
Speaker
But Chelsea continue to spend in ways that I don't understand, specifically because, I don't know, I support a club that spends a whole lot of fucking money and we never did it like this.
00:53:58
Speaker
So how are they able to do it like this?
00:53:59
Speaker
And we got all the scrutiny, but I digress.
00:54:03
Speaker
Chelsea are going to win this game 3-1.
00:54:05
Speaker
And I don't know how they're going to get three fucking goals.
00:54:08
Speaker
But they're at home.
00:54:11
Speaker
I did see some of the feedback from the midweek fixture.
00:54:17
Speaker
And I did see that Chelsea's feeling a lot more confident about how they're attacking the final third.
00:54:22
Speaker
So, just a little bit of some... A little bit more confident.
00:54:33
Speaker
I'm going 3-1 Chelsea.
00:54:47
Speaker
Wow.
00:54:51
Speaker
He has to, right?
00:54:57
Speaker
While Awonihi took care of me last week,
00:55:01
Speaker
I'm falling away.
00:55:03
Speaker
I'm stepping back.
00:55:04
Speaker
I'm not going back to back.
00:55:06
Speaker
I want to spread it out a little bit.
00:55:08
Speaker
I want to show a little bit of some love to everyone.
00:55:11
Speaker
It's early.
00:55:12
Speaker
It's early to go ahead and go crazy full commitment on a player or two.
00:55:18
Speaker
So I'm staying away from Chelsea and Forrest.
00:55:20
Speaker
Staying away with it 100%.
00:55:35
Speaker
I can see it.
00:55:37
Speaker
I would love it.
00:55:40
Speaker
I really would like to see a clean sheet.
00:55:45
Speaker
Fulham coming off of a devastating attack on Tottenham and their whole situation to maintain their trophy-less seasons.
00:55:55
Speaker
Fulham coming off and taking points away from a tough Arsenal team who are predicted to go far in the Premier League and do other great things this year.
00:56:04
Speaker
Fulham coming on an opportunity to do things against City at the Etihad.
00:56:09
Speaker
Feeling good about it.
00:56:11
Speaker
I rate what the mentality could be for them.
00:56:17
Speaker
I got City winning.
00:56:18
Speaker
I want to be very clear.
00:56:19
Speaker
And I got City winning this one 3-1.
00:56:24
Speaker
Now, I want to address a certain thing about
00:56:32
Speaker
Just clingliness.
00:56:36
Speaker
City fans cling to some of their academy players.
00:56:41
Speaker
Brian, I got to be honest with you.
00:56:42
Speaker
It hits a little differently when you watch your players win and win everything and consistently have been on rosters for you to where
00:56:54
Speaker
They've had opportunities to go.
00:56:56
Speaker
They've been literally maybe up and coming through the academy or have been with you for long periods of time.
00:57:03
Speaker
And there's just a moment where you just feel, yeah, the day will come that they go somewhere else.
00:57:09
Speaker
But it'll be maybe in a situation that is right for them or goes out like on free, like a gun to gun where you're just like, yeah, great service.
00:57:17
Speaker
Thank you for everything.
00:57:18
Speaker
And you move.
00:57:21
Speaker
What I've seen a lot of City fans try to do when it comes to our academy players is have love and appreciation for them, but also kind of wonder why they leave.
Manchester City's Academy Success
00:57:33
Speaker
And what I kind of want to just hit on when it comes to this is because it's going back to the great business that City do.
00:57:45
Speaker
And one of the things – it's tough.
00:57:47
Speaker
I know it's tough.
00:57:48
Speaker
I cling to some of these players too.
00:57:51
Speaker
personal favorite is always going to be Phil Foden.
00:57:53
Speaker
And actually, I really like McAtee.
00:57:55
Speaker
I really like McAtee.
00:57:56
Speaker
I would love for McAtee to work out with us.
00:57:58
Speaker
Left-footed, small, David Silva would love to be in his spirit and move forward through him.
00:58:04
Speaker
I just see it and I want it for him.
00:58:06
Speaker
I know you feel great about Smith Rowe.
00:58:08
Speaker
I know you feel great about Saka.
00:58:10
Speaker
Saka's doing great things at your club.
00:58:12
Speaker
He's the cornerstone of it and he came up through.
00:58:14
Speaker
I feel that.
00:58:16
Speaker
But the thing about City that you have to understand is
00:58:19
Speaker
When you're trying to do football as a conglomerate by creating the City Football Group, when you invest into the entire foundation to make the city of Manchester even better with the funding and how things operate, some things that the red side of Manchester don't do because they can't even get their own fucking stadium right.
00:58:40
Speaker
When City do these types of things and they create this ground of foundation of success, you have to be willing to part with some of these players.
00:58:49
Speaker
And if you ask yourself or question the club or think they're not doing it right kind of thing, you might want to remind yourself on the circumstances and the status of who we are and what we're doing.
00:59:00
Speaker
And what we're trying to do at this point is very, very simple.
00:59:05
Speaker
Continue a level and a standard that at this point in time has not been matched by many clubs.
00:59:14
Speaker
And I'm only looking at Real Madrid.
00:59:16
Speaker
I cannot look at another club.
00:59:19
Speaker
Now that we have done the Champions League and you look at consistently where we've been in the last four to five years, semifinals, finals, semifinals, finals, winning it, winning the three-peat, going for four, the treble, the consistency.
00:59:35
Speaker
This is a business and it's running at full cylinder right now.
00:59:40
Speaker
Since Pep has arrived, we have produced $442 million.
00:59:49
Speaker
In sales from the City Youth Academy.
00:59:54
Speaker
That is an average of $63 million a year.
00:59:57
Speaker
$63 million.
00:59:58
Speaker
We're selling a cucurella a year just off of our academy.
01:00:05
Speaker
It is incredible at what we do when we invest and turn things into a profit and get things going.
01:00:12
Speaker
And when these players come up, like the Oscar Bobs, who I have a complete, absolute admiration for right now, like the Rico Lewis's, and some stay.
01:00:23
Speaker
I'm looking at Rico.
01:00:24
Speaker
I'm looking at Phil.
01:00:25
Speaker
Phil will never leave.
01:00:26
Speaker
You heard it here first on the podcast.
01:00:28
Speaker
I don't know if that's breaking news to anybody, but it's laughable when I heard someone on TalkSport try to even bring up the simple concept that, well, he's not starting.
01:00:35
Speaker
I mean, where would he go?
01:00:36
Speaker
City Academy.
01:00:38
Speaker
It's the lack of respect for what I call right now.
01:00:41
Speaker
We are big club fucking status.
01:00:43
Speaker
And we have to remind ourselves that is where we are.
01:00:46
Speaker
And when we get down about what are we doing selling our young players and all that, we swindled Chelsea.
01:00:54
Speaker
If you would have told me a year ago you would get $100 million for both Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer, I would have laughed at you.
01:01:00
Speaker
And I also would have laughed at you a little bit aroused.
01:01:03
Speaker
You're nuts.
01:01:04
Speaker
A hundred millions in absolute steel for those two types of players.
01:01:08
Speaker
One doesn't want to stay because of competition and playing time, and the other one doesn't want to stay because of playing time.
01:01:14
Speaker
Now the both of you lot get to go enjoy together, playing the same fucking position right now.
01:01:19
Speaker
That's not a question or a problem I have to solve anymore.
01:01:22
Speaker
I take the cheese, and I keep it moving.
01:01:24
Speaker
Cole Palmer, I rate you.
01:01:26
Speaker
You're a young, raw talent, but you made a horrible, horrible decision.
01:01:30
Speaker
A horrible business decision.
01:01:33
Speaker
player decision for your career.
01:01:37
Speaker
I rate you, again, I want to state right now, and all you did throughout this beginning of the season,
01:01:45
Speaker
was essentially raise your stock value.
01:01:48
Speaker
And to that I say Pep is a genius one more time.
01:01:51
Speaker
By bringing you on and you getting that fucking equalizer in the UEFA Super Cup to get us into Penns and ultimately we win it.
01:01:58
Speaker
The opener against Arsenal in the I don't give a shit shield.
01:02:03
Speaker
Incredible, incredible that you raise your stock and do those things.
01:02:08
Speaker
But I had high hopes for you to continue to stay in fight and battle.
01:02:13
Speaker
Right behind me is a fucking poster of us winning the Champions League.
01:02:17
Speaker
And you're there fucking lifting it, Cole.
01:02:20
Speaker
And you could have stayed and built something more.
01:02:22
Speaker
It's Jaden Sancho-ish.
01:02:25
Speaker
You took bad advice.
01:02:27
Speaker
And again, I say I rate you.
01:02:29
Speaker
You're raw talent and I rate you and I'm thankful for what you did.
01:02:33
Speaker
But you got bad advice and this is a career changing move.
01:02:37
Speaker
We will see how it plays out.
01:02:39
Speaker
But us City fans have to learn to let go.
01:02:42
Speaker
We have to learn
01:02:45
Speaker
Well, I mean, shout out to the brother because he is biracial.
01:02:49
Speaker
Cole Palmer looks like a white guy.
01:02:51
Speaker
I'm here breaking news.
01:02:52
Speaker
He is a biracial man.
01:02:54
Speaker
That man is legit.
01:02:56
Speaker
You can give those looks all you want, brother.
01:02:58
Speaker
I have seen pictures.
01:03:00
Speaker
I have seen pictures.
01:03:01
Speaker
I know what his granddad looks like.
01:03:03
Speaker
I know what his father looks like.
01:03:05
Speaker
This is what I talk about.
01:03:07
Speaker
We love these guys.
01:03:08
Speaker
We love these kids.
01:03:09
Speaker
They were with us since 16.
01:03:11
Speaker
He's done nothing but win.
01:03:12
Speaker
His trophy cabinet is bigger than certain players at 30 right now.
01:03:18
Speaker
There's a reason why we cling to these players.
01:03:23
Speaker
Oh, he clocked early?
01:03:24
Speaker
And see, this is what I love to have.
01:03:26
Speaker
This is a great conversation to have because Cole Palmer hit a banger goal on the way to the treble in the FA Cup, like maybe seventh, eighth round against some titnicky team.
01:03:39
Speaker
But that's a big time minute.
01:03:43
Speaker
You contribute.
01:03:50
Speaker
Remember, remember, a bench that you say is world-class.
01:03:58
Speaker
He sees a sprinkle of minutes.
01:04:04
Speaker
Oh, very little, if none, if any.
01:04:06
Speaker
If any.
01:04:09
Speaker
Yes.
01:04:14
Speaker
Yes.
01:04:25
Speaker
for free.
01:04:36
Speaker
In a year from now, should you – that's just so laughable.
01:04:41
Speaker
He didn't contribute to the – he did contribute.
01:04:44
Speaker
He's on the roster.
01:04:45
Speaker
He got Champions League minutes.
01:04:47
Speaker
It's not like he didn't play.
01:04:49
Speaker
Now, group stage, yeah, but the knockouts – like any club, Brian, you're going to shrink the lineup.
01:04:54
Speaker
You're going to shrink the minutes.
01:04:55
Speaker
You want to win the games.
01:05:10
Speaker
Listen, when you win a trophy, we can have a conversation about how you feel about with your players and the connections there.
01:05:16
Speaker
I know how much you rate Sokka right now.
01:05:19
Speaker
Sokka gets awards at
01:05:22
Speaker
I'm well aware.
01:05:23
Speaker
I'm well aware.
01:05:24
Speaker
But he's your academy player.
01:05:26
Speaker
He's your academy cornerstone player.
01:05:28
Speaker
He is a player that has come up into a certain... Here's the other thing, too.
01:05:32
Speaker
When he gets love from a pep at a young age, that says something.
01:05:38
Speaker
I.e.
01:05:38
Speaker
Phil.
01:05:39
Speaker
I.e.
01:05:40
Speaker
Rico.
01:05:41
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:42
Speaker
So did Sancho.
01:05:43
Speaker
I'm not sitting here saying this is a good decision.
01:05:47
Speaker
I'm clear on this.
01:05:48
Speaker
This is a bad move, and you are 100% right.
01:05:50
Speaker
He's going to get lost in the shuffle.
01:05:53
Speaker
But I want to make sure the but is clear.
01:05:56
Speaker
There is a player there.
01:05:58
Speaker
There is a player there that could be nurtured.
01:06:01
Speaker
He will not get that at Chelsea.
01:06:04
Speaker
That he could do things.
01:06:07
Speaker
The potential is there.
01:06:09
Speaker
That's what bothers me so much.
01:06:11
Speaker
Like a dad, Brian, I'm bothered that it's better for you to listen to what I'm telling you.
01:06:18
Speaker
It's better for you.
01:06:19
Speaker
And he's not doing it.
01:06:20
Speaker
And it sucks.
01:06:21
Speaker
But we got to pull away from some of these academy players.
01:06:25
Speaker
Because we're averaging a cucurella in sale per year with these fucks.
01:06:30
Speaker
Business.
01:06:31
Speaker
Things.
01:06:32
Speaker
At City.
01:06:33
Speaker
Maintaining the excellence.
01:06:35
Speaker
We did swindle Chelsea for the record.
01:06:37
Speaker
3-1.
01:07:00
Speaker
Who does the more bouncier?
01:07:02
Speaker
Who does the more bouncier at the back?
01:07:05
Speaker
What if I think either of them don't do a bouncier back enough?
01:07:08
Speaker
What I think of just... I think there's a potential for a draw here.
01:07:13
Speaker
No one really cares about Seagull Stadium and playing out there by the coast.
01:07:16
Speaker
It ain't that difficult.
01:07:18
Speaker
Anyhow, coming off of an embarrassing loss, you have to go... You lost an easy one at home by easing
01:07:27
Speaker
Oh, God.
01:07:28
Speaker
That's making him lose sleep, ain't it?
01:07:32
Speaker
Oh, Eddie, Eddie, we're going to see the fortitude that you're made of this year, sir.
01:07:38
Speaker
Testicular fortitude will be checked on you, Eddie Howe.
01:07:41
Speaker
Just brace it.
01:07:42
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going, you know what?
01:07:44
Speaker
I'm going 2-2 draw.
01:07:51
Speaker
Gold score?
01:07:57
Speaker
I know who's scoring in this game.
01:08:16
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:23
Speaker
Alexander Isik.
01:08:30
Speaker
Let's score it.
01:08:31
Speaker
Let's score it.
01:08:39
Speaker
Yeah, you're at one.
01:08:39
Speaker
Sterling.
01:08:46
Speaker
Here it is.
01:08:47
Speaker
Here's your next score, right?
01:08:54
Speaker
Shut up.
01:08:57
Speaker
You're really thinking SA?
01:08:59
Speaker
You're touching this game?
Crystal Palace vs Wolves Preview
01:09:11
Speaker
I'm going 2-1.
01:09:13
Speaker
Crystal Palace win.
01:09:15
Speaker
And I think two matchups ago when talking about City, we talked about the swindling.
01:09:19
Speaker
It might have been when we talked about Chelsea or when we talked about City.
01:09:22
Speaker
Yeah, we talked about the swindling.
01:09:24
Speaker
I want to talk a little bit more about some swindling because Matthias Nunch, welcome.
01:09:29
Speaker
We're doing the Portuguese pronunciation when it comes to Matthias.
01:09:32
Speaker
Oh, the final price.
01:09:32
Speaker
Good question.
01:09:33
Speaker
I think it was $63 million.
01:09:37
Speaker
Let me confirm.
01:09:39
Speaker
No add-ons.
01:09:40
Speaker
No incentives.
01:09:41
Speaker
None of that shit.
01:09:42
Speaker
He does get a 10% sell-on clause.
01:09:45
Speaker
That I know for sure.
01:09:46
Speaker
But yeah.
01:09:48
Speaker
The swindling.
01:09:50
Speaker
53 million.
01:09:52
Speaker
53.
01:09:52
Speaker
Five three.
01:09:55
Speaker
Fucking swindling.
01:09:58
Speaker
Wolves got hit with Augusto.
01:10:01
Speaker
Thank you for your service.
01:10:03
Speaker
And goodbye.
01:10:05
Speaker
You get...
01:10:07
Speaker
The Tommy Doyle on loan with a salon clause and all that good stuff that we'd like to do or buy a buy option.
01:10:16
Speaker
We did all that good stuff.
01:10:18
Speaker
All right, Tommy.
01:10:19
Speaker
Again, clinging to your academy players who have won things in your club.
01:10:24
Speaker
Do good things.
01:10:25
Speaker
You've been loaned out before, so this is nothing new with you.
01:10:28
Speaker
Enjoy that process.
01:10:29
Speaker
You're going to get some goals put on your head because it's Wolves.
01:10:33
Speaker
And, you know,
01:10:35
Speaker
taking advantage of a financial situation for them.
01:10:39
Speaker
I think he's a great player.
01:10:40
Speaker
I've obviously spoken on how highly I rate him and I love to fucking see it ending the window.
01:10:47
Speaker
Great.
01:10:47
Speaker
I think we're done at this point, but you got to question wolves and what they're doing with a couple of the players that have been leaving recently.
01:10:56
Speaker
You look at the circumstances over there.
01:10:58
Speaker
It's not, not good.
01:11:00
Speaker
And managers leaving suddenly happened before years past.
01:11:03
Speaker
Um,
01:11:04
Speaker
Got to ask a lot of questions right now on this Wolves side.
01:11:06
Speaker
So, yeah, I'm going two to one Crystal Palace, and thank you for Matthias News.
01:11:11
Speaker
Thank you for Matthias.
01:11:29
Speaker
Oh, I'm going two to one Crystal Palace.
01:11:30
Speaker
They get a goal.
01:11:32
Speaker
Yeah.
01:11:36
Speaker
Yes.
01:11:48
Speaker
No, sir.
01:11:58
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
01:11:58
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
Liverpool vs Aston Villa Analysis
01:12:19
Speaker
It's a great bounce back win for pool to be undermanned and still take advantage and show heart and fight and determination.
01:12:25
Speaker
Villa are a scary team.
01:12:29
Speaker
Kind of hot and cold back and forth.
01:12:34
Speaker
I know they're going to come out aggressive.
01:12:35
Speaker
I know they're going to go at them.
01:12:37
Speaker
And ultimately my biggest question mark here is who's got the worst defense.
01:12:43
Speaker
And I think it's pool.
01:12:45
Speaker
I'm going with a...
01:12:47
Speaker
Two to two draw.
01:12:48
Speaker
I can't fucking pick up.
01:12:50
Speaker
I can't.
01:12:50
Speaker
I can't do it.
01:12:51
Speaker
I can't do it.
01:12:52
Speaker
It's Anfield, but I'm sorry.
01:12:54
Speaker
That bullshit is over.
01:12:56
Speaker
I'm done with it.
01:12:57
Speaker
I'm done with it.
01:12:58
Speaker
I'm not here to listen to how great it is to hear you'll never walk alone.
01:13:03
Speaker
It's done.
01:13:04
Speaker
The days of that being a fortress are over.
01:13:09
Speaker
And I think Villa come out.
01:13:10
Speaker
In fact, if you want to do it, I'm willing to do it right now.
01:13:14
Speaker
Villa score first.
01:13:15
Speaker
If you want to take the opposite for a prop bet.
01:13:19
Speaker
Yeah, that's how much I rate the whole situation with Anfield and how fucking lackluster that shit is.
01:13:25
Speaker
Fill a score first.
01:13:27
Speaker
Two to two draw for me.
01:13:30
Speaker
I'm going draw.
01:13:30
Speaker
I do have a goal scorer, though.
01:13:36
Speaker
Mohamed Salah.
01:13:43
Speaker
Yep.
01:14:23
Speaker
Do me right, Unai.
01:14:24
Speaker
Do me fucking right, Unai.
01:14:25
Speaker
Ho ho ho ho!
01:14:57
Speaker
uh
01:15:27
Speaker
Yeah, you've already talked too much about last year.
01:15:41
Speaker
You've already talked too much about last year.
Manchester United vs Arsenal Debate
01:15:43
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:45
Speaker
There it is.
01:16:05
Speaker
That's what I need right now.
01:16:06
Speaker
That's what I need.
01:16:07
Speaker
I need it.
01:16:09
Speaker
I need it.
01:16:11
Speaker
Here we go.
01:16:12
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:23
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:25
Speaker
Does he do it?
01:16:36
Speaker
No, Raya, after the Fulham situation, this isn't time yet.
01:16:41
Speaker
We're three games in.
01:16:42
Speaker
I have questions.
01:16:43
Speaker
Why do we go sign a top keeper for fucking nothing if our Ramsdale keeper is going to do it and fuck up and we're not going to give the guy a chance?
01:16:51
Speaker
He's not giving Carabella now.
01:16:53
Speaker
He doesn't get the Carabella now.
01:16:55
Speaker
Does that not change anything?
01:16:57
Speaker
Because Brentford are not going to let him play.
01:16:59
Speaker
So does that not mean he gets a start before international break?
01:17:05
Speaker
Free Jose Raya.
01:17:06
Speaker
Nah, free Raya.
01:17:07
Speaker
This is bullshit.
01:17:09
Speaker
This is bullshit.
01:17:10
Speaker
This is unbelievable.
01:17:11
Speaker
What are we doing?
01:17:12
Speaker
Yeah, I agree.
01:17:17
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:23
Speaker
That's ballsy for you to say.
01:17:43
Speaker
You're going to war with those three.
01:17:47
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:49
Speaker
Fair.
01:17:53
Speaker
Okay.
01:17:55
Speaker
Get the fuck out of here, big.
01:18:40
Speaker
Didn't he come off the bench?
01:18:44
Speaker
Hmm.
01:19:19
Speaker
This could be something.
01:19:21
Speaker
I see this being something.
01:19:23
Speaker
I didn't even think about it being something, but I think this could be something.
01:19:27
Speaker
I think we're going to be demand.
01:19:28
Speaker
I think there are going to be demands for Chisard Jesus.
01:19:32
Speaker
I think there are going to be demands.
01:19:35
Speaker
I think.
01:19:39
Speaker
All right, well, let me just ask the question right now because I'm going to go ahead and say it.
01:19:42
Speaker
O'Leary, I hope I'm doing you proud, bucko.
01:19:45
Speaker
Let me ask, Brian, what in the fuck does Fabio, oh, Fabio, what does Fabio have to do to get a fucking start for Arsenal, sir?
01:19:56
Speaker
What does he have to do?
01:19:59
Speaker
I'm asking the question, sir.
01:20:01
Speaker
I'm doing O'Leary as best as I can over here.
01:20:03
Speaker
The follow-up questions are for O'Leary.
01:20:06
Speaker
does he have to do?
01:20:08
Speaker
He super subbed and got a cross in.
01:20:10
Speaker
I mean, look at him.
01:20:11
Speaker
He almost hit a bicycle.
01:20:12
Speaker
He almost hit a worldie.
01:20:13
Speaker
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is going to be tearing up Martinelli.
01:20:30
Speaker
I couldn't even say it seriously.
01:20:41
Speaker
I know.
01:20:42
Speaker
I couldn't even say.
01:20:43
Speaker
Look, I'm giving you the United starting fucking 11.
01:20:48
Speaker
Since we're in here, O'Leary, tell me if I'm doing you proud.
01:20:52
Speaker
Atkeeper.
01:20:54
Speaker
Oh, na-na.
01:20:56
Speaker
Yeah, you suck.
01:20:57
Speaker
Oh, na-na.
01:20:59
Speaker
Clear.
01:21:00
Speaker
He's got to start.
01:21:01
Speaker
He's got to start.
01:21:02
Speaker
Uh.
01:21:04
Speaker
Varan's out.
01:21:06
Speaker
I'm going.
01:21:09
Speaker
Basaka.
01:21:12
Speaker
And I'm bringing in the new guy.
01:21:14
Speaker
Whoever the fuck I finish signing by the end of the windows, the guy I'm going with.
01:21:19
Speaker
Who is that?
01:21:19
Speaker
Regulon?
01:21:20
Speaker
Looking like Regulon?
01:21:25
Speaker
You think?
01:21:28
Speaker
He's hell of attacking.
01:21:29
Speaker
That's gonna be
01:21:40
Speaker
Hey, let's hope he was doing that while running on a treadmill.
01:21:43
Speaker
Fuck, he needs something.
01:21:45
Speaker
I mean, this is problematic right now.
01:21:48
Speaker
Casemiro, Bruno, and I'm going Erickson.
01:21:54
Speaker
Yeah, Lissandro and Ligal.
01:21:55
Speaker
It has to be.
01:21:56
Speaker
It has to be.
01:21:57
Speaker
I mean, what are you doing?
01:21:59
Speaker
Get the fuck out of here.
01:22:00
Speaker
We don't even have to say his name.
01:22:02
Speaker
I can just joke as much as I want, but I'm not even going there with O'Leary.
01:22:06
Speaker
It's not even a point to bring that fucking douchebag up.
01:22:09
Speaker
It's gotta be Lindelof, and it's gotta be fucking... Fucking what's his name?
01:22:17
Speaker
Yeah, The Butcher.
01:22:17
Speaker
It's gotta be The Butcher.
01:22:19
Speaker
He's gonna talk Spanish to Regulon on the left.
01:22:21
Speaker
They'll be okay.
01:22:22
Speaker
Figure it out.
01:22:24
Speaker
God, this fucking...
01:22:29
Speaker
Oh, God, that's not even a question.
01:22:32
Speaker
We should be wondering.
01:22:34
Speaker
The better question, over or under three and a half yellows.
01:22:37
Speaker
Can I share with you my prop bet?
01:22:42
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I have to agree with you on there.
01:22:44
Speaker
I don't support gambling.
01:22:47
Speaker
Technically, I do.
01:22:48
Speaker
I'm in an illegal state, so don't ask me questions on how I'm able to do this.
01:22:51
Speaker
But let me pull up this prop bet and tell me what you think here.
01:22:56
Speaker
Because I am a big fan of this here.
01:22:59
Speaker
I actually think I'm going to be cooking something special here.
01:23:02
Speaker
People sleeping on some of these bets.
01:23:05
Speaker
Let's see.
01:23:08
Speaker
All right.
01:23:09
Speaker
So the bets that I have going on right now for this game, I have over five and a half corners.
01:23:23
Speaker
Over three and a half yellow cards.
01:23:30
Speaker
Over or under.
01:23:33
Speaker
Three and a half goals.
01:23:43
Speaker
That is.
01:23:47
Speaker
my over-under prop bet for this game.
01:23:49
Speaker
I'm actually pretty stoked for it.
01:23:51
Speaker
I think this is going to be a good doozy of a game.
01:23:56
Speaker
Are you taking Saka?
01:23:57
Speaker
Yeah, this is a really good game to get a goal scorer.
01:24:02
Speaker
I fucking hate to have to do this, but I got to pick a rat, and I'm going with the rat that is named Bruno.
01:24:09
Speaker
The rat himself.
01:24:12
Speaker
I think Bruno's going to do it.
01:24:14
Speaker
You know, 3-1 Arsenal.
01:24:15
Speaker
I didn't even finish the fucking...
01:24:18
Speaker
starting 11 for United and that's clear of O'Leary.
01:24:22
Speaker
I'm doing him justice because that's exactly what he'd spaciously and just go into other tangents.
01:24:27
Speaker
So let's do Arsenal.
01:24:31
Speaker
You must win, right?
01:24:32
Speaker
You must win, right?
01:24:35
Speaker
Confidence factor.
01:24:35
Speaker
How are you feeling about this one?
01:24:38
Speaker
Have to, right?
01:24:39
Speaker
10 point scale.
01:24:41
Speaker
What is it?
01:24:44
Speaker
Yeah, where you at?
01:24:50
Speaker
10 hags record against big teams is fucking shit.
01:24:56
Speaker
It's shit.
01:25:00
Speaker
And then it's not good.
01:25:03
Speaker
It's not good.
01:25:04
Speaker
I'm going to go three to two Arsenal.
01:25:09
Speaker
I think.
01:25:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:25:11
Speaker
Yeah.
01:25:46
Speaker
Shout out to them.
01:25:47
Speaker
We know what they do.
01:25:50
Speaker
I think, look, shout out.
01:25:54
Speaker
Let's say it right.
01:25:55
Speaker
Awards were just recently done.
01:25:57
Speaker
A couple of players were awarded some of the achievements of what happened last year.
01:26:01
Speaker
Saka got himself a good award.
01:26:04
Speaker
Holland doing Holland things.
01:26:06
Speaker
A couple of other players were awarded.
01:26:09
Speaker
I think that's a good note to kind of finish up on last year's achievements on the, um,
01:26:18
Speaker
Correct, yes.
01:26:19
Speaker
The PFA Awards, which I liked the team that they actually put out.
01:26:24
Speaker
I was kind of a fan of the 11 themselves.
01:26:29
Speaker
I think they did some justice to a few players that in years past have not gotten justice.
01:26:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm a fan.
01:26:35
Speaker
I'm a fan of the winnings.
01:26:39
Speaker
I like it.
01:26:40
Speaker
I like it.
01:26:41
Speaker
It was real.
01:26:46
Speaker
I thought this was, yeah, I was about to be like, yeah.
01:27:37
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:20
Speaker
And this is where I want to talk about the voting and the players voting for
Erling Haaland's Ambitions and Predictions
01:28:26
Speaker
it.
01:28:26
Speaker
Because the players themselves are showing bias.
01:28:28
Speaker
That's clearly a bias towards the Champions League final and how he finished the end of the year and how incredible of a Swiss Army knife he ended up being for us.
01:28:37
Speaker
statistically, minutes-wise, all that stuff is exactly accurate.
01:28:40
Speaker
But it's the same reason, in my humble opinion, that they chose Saka for Young Player of the Year award.
01:28:45
Speaker
Because they basically... I mean, by deductive reasoning, when you're qualified to win both and you win Player of the Year, it's as simple as understanding you should have won Young Player of the Year.
01:28:54
Speaker
We have...
01:28:58
Speaker
Yeah, when you have Gareth Bale and when you have Cristiano Ronaldo doing the thing where they've done the picture of the two before, it's, in my humble opinion, just simple, easy understanding.
01:29:10
Speaker
But they have a thing lately about that young player of the year award.
01:29:14
Speaker
And if you've noticed, it's been five years running that an English person has won it.
01:29:18
Speaker
Foden won it twice.
01:29:20
Speaker
A couple others have won it, young players.
01:29:22
Speaker
So they do a thing about that.
01:29:24
Speaker
Little buys from those players who are voting.
01:29:26
Speaker
But yeah, no, it's just a thing.
01:29:28
Speaker
It's City fans getting all your panties in a knot about it.
01:29:33
Speaker
Really, honestly, it's not that big of a fucking deal.
01:29:36
Speaker
And if anything, you're just making the fucking robot more hungry.
01:29:39
Speaker
So that's completely fine with me.
01:29:41
Speaker
I don't give a Hulu fuck.
01:29:43
Speaker
Let him feast on fucking Fulham this weekend.
01:29:46
Speaker
I think he cares about everything.
01:29:49
Speaker
I think he cares about everything.
01:29:51
Speaker
I've seen stories about conversations that he's had with players coming up that he's played against and then with later on.
01:29:58
Speaker
And he's big on certain things.
01:29:59
Speaker
If you've heard his press conferences where,
01:30:03
Speaker
There was one in particular where he was asked last year about a particular team going into the game.
01:30:08
Speaker
They said they'd stop him.
01:30:09
Speaker
He was respectful and didn't respond and give him anything.
01:30:12
Speaker
He scores in the game.
01:30:13
Speaker
And then the commentator had the audacity to ask him about the comment before the game.
01:30:18
Speaker
And then even said, they seemed like they found a way today.
01:30:20
Speaker
And his response was, well, actually they didn't because I scored.
01:30:23
Speaker
Like he gives a shit about little things.
01:30:27
Speaker
And I think that's just who he is.
01:30:30
Speaker
But –
01:30:33
Speaker
Even if it's not, the beautiful thing about it is the intrinsic motivation is there.
01:30:37
Speaker
The fact that we just got younger at the end of this window, the fact that we're looking average age just got that much more, and Pep is going to find a way to get the guys who haven't done shit with us to be salivating and ready and push Holland, I'm completely fine with it.
01:30:51
Speaker
I'm pretty sure he's qualified to do it this year, and if he doesn't get a goal record and does his thing and has a good season, I'd like to get my next goal.
01:30:58
Speaker
And again, just fucking around, right?
01:30:59
Speaker
Obviously, I want to win everything, but my next goal, 10-plus assists.
01:31:03
Speaker
And if I'm not mistaken, he had seven or eight last year.
01:31:06
Speaker
So if I can get a season where he has 25, 30 goals and 10 and 11 assists, holy fuck me.
01:31:12
Speaker
Holy shit.
01:31:13
Speaker
What are people going to be saying about Holland then?
01:31:15
Speaker
And that's scary to think because he literally had seven or eight assists last year.
01:31:36
Speaker
Yeah.
01:31:52
Speaker
Peace.
01:31:55
Speaker
You did, crazy bastard.
