Introduction and Humorous Outtakes
00:00:01
Iain Mackay the Noo
You need to shave your arms, Nicola.
00:00:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome to my dear Newcastle Podcast.
00:00:14
Jo
Welcome!
00:00:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah you know
00:00:20
Iain Mackay the Noo
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd hit the go button. And and then Nicola lifted her arms up and she's got tassels on her jumper.
00:00:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my god. That's going to be an outtake. I might leave it in. I might not leave it in. It might just be an outtake. I don't know. Anyway, welcome to the Daily Newcastle Podcast.
00:00:35
Jo
the
00:00:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a special, it's a Christmas special. And it was a wildcard Wednesday, but we're doing a Christmas special.
00:00:41
Iain Mackay the Noo
Ah.
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you're going to get to know us a little bit in this episode, obviously Christmas related. We're then going to talk about some Newcastle plays again, Christmas related. We're going to talk about who we like and who we dislike because that's what Christmas is about.
Christmas Special Introduction and Host Banter
00:00:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
making up and falling out but before that I don't need to do many reductions because you lucky lucky people have all of the daily Newcastle team together so obviously I'm a gentleman first so we will go with the ladies I have the woman with the Christmas tree on her head which is Jo are you okay Jo?
00:01:05
Iain Mackay the Noo
Ooh.
00:01:18
Jo
I'm alright, yeah, I'm good.
00:01:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think you realise people, some people might not be watching there and and did some weird surf I think.
00:01:24
Jo
I've just got a crazy tree hair band.
00:01:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's an interesting start. We also have the country queen herself, which is Nick, you okay Nick?
00:01:33
Jo
ah
00:01:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm good, thank you, thank you.
00:01:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
With the girl power sign after I just said country queen because she's wearing tassels. Then we have Michael, are you all okay Michael?
00:01:43
Michael
I'm doing great man, thank you very much and the start of the pods made me even better.
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And the person who messed up the start of a pod completely doing his best John Watson impression for this episode, only it's Ian Mackay. Okay. and
00:01:57
Iain Mackay the Noo
ah you Kevin, I didn't do it on purpose, honestly. It just something caught my eye and it came out before I could stop it. It happens, doesn't it?
00:02:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
um might I might leave that in because imagine just turning on a a Christmas special podcast and just have everybody laughing down the microphone before and after the intro. So we'll see. We might just save it as an outtake. I'm not sure yet.
00:02:16
Jo
Bye.
00:02:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, we're going to start for you lovely viewers because we've realised some of you would have been listening to us for quite a while and you still might not know much about us away from
Unusual Gift Stories
00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle.
00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we're going to start with a very simple question for everybody on the team. And it's a gift you've received and you've got no idea why. Now, this inspiration came from when I was at work, because we're doing Secret Santa. And we were talking about some presents people get. Some of them are quite personal attacks, as you can imagine in a workplace. Others, you just think, what on earth was going through your mind when you bought that person that gift? And I thought, well, we're just going to see where we're going with this one.
00:02:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So what is a gift you've received and you've got no idea why? I'm going to start with Michael because he looks desperate to get in there. So Michael, what is a gift you've received which you've got no idea why? Let our lovely listeners know a little bit more about you.
00:03:08
Michael
So I was but mainly laughing because of the thought of Secret Santa but um yes, i one year um I got a homemade gift hamper and when it's homemade you can't really criticize what's in it until you're on a podcast.
00:03:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Put you about you.
00:03:24
Michael
um But what I got what it included it had some really lovely things in like candles and stuff like that mainly seemed like a present for my wife rather than me um which as i got married this year tells you it was you know very much last year and it's very current this um but it included a teacup hand painted i cannot stand tea and
00:03:47
Jo
Whoa.
00:03:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't even drink tea.
00:03:51
Michael
And in my first Christmas bauble, so either they thought my wife was pregnant, and I can tell you she looks the furthest thing from it.
00:03:52
Jo
Wow.
00:04:01
Michael
I'm just getting bounty pointer.
00:04:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but Yeah, well done.
00:04:04
Michael
And I don't have a child. I am 28, very young. I have never thought about having children yet in my life. So a teacup and my first Christmas bauble, it was um was very confusing.
00:04:18
Michael
I'm still not quite sure why I've got it, but it probably will come out.
00:04:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who gifted you it, Michael?
00:04:22
Michael
Oh, I can't say that.
00:04:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, come on.
00:04:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, you can. Come on.
00:04:25
Iain Mackay the Noo
Michael, Michael, has anybody bought you a Christmas bauble before?
00:04:26
Michael
It was...
00:04:32
Michael
Yes, my wife when we first got engaged.
00:04:33
Iain Mackay the Noo
No. All right. So, so in fact, it's just inaccurate, isn't it? It should say my second Christmas bauble.
00:04:41
Jo
Oh my god.
00:04:42
Iain Mackay the Noo
True.
00:04:44
Michael
No, he's got me.
00:04:44
Iain Mackay the Noo
I've known nobody's ever bought me.
00:04:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:04:45
Iain Mackay the Noo
Nobody, nobody's bought me a Christmas bauble before. So if I got it, it would be my first Christmas bauble.
00:04:49
Jo
um and
00:04:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Was it your first Christmas engaged ball ball, Michael?
00:04:51
Jo
you
00:04:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Or was it just generally my first Christmas on it?
00:04:55
Michael
No, we've been engaged for like two, three years.
00:04:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, wow.
00:04:59
Michael
um But it was...
00:04:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe we just thought Michael had just been born and it was his first Christmas.
00:05:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Maybe.
00:05:04
Iain Mackay the Noo
and
00:05:04
Michael
With this face, I definitely don't look just born.
00:05:04
Jo
So young looking.
00:05:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Very young rapper, very young rapper. Ian, I don't know if I want to ask this one, but I'm going to after a start he's made. John Moten, AKA Ian Mackay.
00:05:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
What is a Christmas present you've received which you've got no idea why?
00:05:21
Iain Mackay the Noo
i
00:05:24
Iain Mackay the Noo
You keep saying that, Kev. Can I just point out I'm not doing a John Watson impression. I've got a dodgy microphone that needs to be close. Because if if people think I'm doing John Watson, they're going to say, he did the whole bloody part and it was rubbish all the way through.
00:05:38
Iain Mackay the Noo
So I'm not doing John Watson.
00:05:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
what he told us just for the listeners he's actually told us he's doing it because he wants to be like John Martin that's why he said i really want to be like John Martin i really want to be like John Martin i'm gonna do a whole pod like this so
00:05:42
Iain Mackay the Noo
and No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:45
Jo
He loves John.
00:05:46
Michael
All the chips about me being a sports journalist.
00:05:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Thank you.
00:05:49
Iain Mackay the Noo
sort of probably yeah
00:05:53
Michael
ah Exactly.
00:05:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but
00:05:55
Iain Mackay the Noo
arch my Christmas, my Christmas present I got, which I don't really know why I got it. I mean, I kind of know why I got it, but I honestly don't know why anyone would think of even creating these things that alone buying it for somebody.
00:06:08
Iain Mackay the Noo
Um, I'm a bit of a coffee addict. I might have 10 or 12 cups of coffee at home during the course of a day. If I'm working from home, starting with breakfast and finishing off with one.
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
in one day.
00:06:19
Jo
yeah
00:06:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
one day.
00:06:21
Iain Mackay the Noo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:22
Jo
You're like jittery as hell.
00:06:22
Iain Mackay the Noo
i did I've done it.
00:06:22
Michael
it's
00:06:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
12 coffees a day.
00:06:23
Iain Mackay the Noo
I've done it. I look, I've done it. I've done it since I was 14 and it doesn't affect me, I promise you. Anyway, ah what I am rather prone to doing is starting my coffee, getting involved in something, answering an email, the phone goes, I then think, oh God, I've run out of tabs, I nipped the shop, I come back and my coffee's gone cold.
00:06:43
Iain Mackay the Noo
So I've got a Christmas present, which is a tile with a wire that comes out of it and plugs in and it heats the tile up and you can put your coffee on it and it keeps your coffee as warm
00:06:53
Jo
That's really cool.
00:06:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You told me about this on Saturday.
00:06:55
Iain Mackay the Noo
for as long as you need I did I did I found it again and I mean you know I get it but come on but why it is better than a bauble it is better than a bauble but you see
00:06:58
Jo
That's cool.
00:06:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We went for a drink.
00:07:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I love that present.
00:07:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's a good present.
00:07:06
Jo
That's a good present.
00:07:07
Michael
It's better than a bauble.
00:07:09
Jo
Yeah, I mean to be fair, Michael wins.
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah like good it now
00:07:15
Iain Mackay the Noo
and what you've What you've got when you come back is, because it's not ah it's not like a bloody kettle element that's boiling it all of the time, it's just what you've got is a lukewarm coffee that you have a sip of, go to the kitchen, tu tip down the sink and make yourself another coffee anyway.
00:07:29
Iain Mackay the Noo
So, you know, it's not it's not fit for purpose.
00:07:31
Jo
So it's crap.
00:07:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's just useless.
00:07:33
Iain Mackay the Noo
But anyway, that's, ah yeah, I thought it's, you know, astray on a motorbike type standard of the present, really.
00:07:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Can I have that?
00:07:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair play.
00:07:39
Iain Mackay the Noo
Not necessary.
00:07:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thank you very much Mr Motton.
00:07:42
Jo
Wow.
00:07:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll go to Nick next. So Nick, what is a Christmas present you've received and you've just got no idea why anybody give you it? Oh actually like Ian's, Ian just said he's got no idea why it was even made or invented so you know if you've got one then that's great as well.
00:07:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:07:56
Jo
Do it, Nick.
00:07:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so be but no So we briefly spoke about this before the pod. Um, so mines isn't really a, like a bauble slash coffee, warm and tile kind of situation.
00:08:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Mines is more, I'm not sure why he wanted to do it. So I am going to say, um, I got proposed to you at Christmas time. So I don't understand why Tyler wanted to do that.
00:08:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, why does he want to marry me?
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, good that's true.
00:08:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So my engagement ring, I always look at it.
00:08:22
Jo
Aw.
00:08:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's beautiful. Haven't got it on though. It's in there. um But I always look at it and um because it's night time or take off at night time I always look at it and think why do they want to marry me because I'm an absolute I'm not doing that So yeah for um
00:08:25
Jo
It's so good.
00:08:28
Jo
Because it's night time.
00:08:34
Michael
who takes off her engagement right guy
00:08:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's very true. Yep.
00:08:36
Jo
I'll live your own in that, Nick.
00:08:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. You're an absolute psychopath and that's a great answer, but you do have a second and answer.
00:08:38
Jo
That's brilliant.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel like you need to share with our listeners.
00:08:43

He is going to kill me when I say this.
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, he's not. You've just said really nice things about him.
00:08:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, I have, um, so I'm going to shut this door over so he doesn't hear it. Um, so I asked for some boots for Christmas. I kind of, it's not three years ago now, two years ago.
00:09:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, but I want a timberland boots, but I wanted them in like a khaki green colors, like very similar to the like Michael's top that he's got on or like a black, just like a plain black.
00:09:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I got the builder ones, which are like yellow.
00:09:22

00:09:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yep, there's a new introduction for Nick.
00:09:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams

00:09:39
Iain Mackay the Noo
All right. I thought it was going to be 24.
00:09:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah when
00:09:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you wear the boots to walk with dog?
00:09:40
Iain Mackay the Noo
I thought he hadn't given them to you yet.
00:09:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you put the boots on to walk with dog or anything like that? Or what happened to the boots?
00:09:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams

Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant stuff.

00:10:00

Nicola Pringle-Adams
um So moving swiftly on.
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant stuff.
00:10:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Swiftly to Joe. Joe, what is a present you've received and you've got absolutely no idea why.
00:10:11
Jo
I'm kind of going to have to cheat because my memory does fail me. I'm not going to lie. I think we spoke. Well, we did speak about it before the start of the pod. So I'm just going to tell you about a random present that I was just like, well, what the hell? But I think it was for a different celebration.
00:10:22
Jo
I think it was for Mother's Day. So now I'm going really off subject, but I know what I had to dodge.
00:10:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
but' It's got nothing to do with the pod.
00:10:27
Michael
ah doesn't count
00:10:28
Jo
because I can't think of a dodgy Christmas present. I'm obviously having a senior moment or something, right?
00:10:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, we'll go with that.
00:10:33
Jo
Because I can't think, right? Thanks. I'm old in that.
00:10:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
if
00:10:38
Jo
But no, like one Mother's Day, this deserves to be brought up it's up.
00:10:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not a mother's day, it's special.
00:10:42
Jo
Look, it's a dodgy present and that's all I've got.
00:10:43
Michael
ah
00:10:45
Jo
Otherwise, you'll have to move on from me, Kev, right?
00:10:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, we'll move on. Mine... Mine... Mine is...
00:10:51
Jo
He really is moving on as well.
00:10:51
Iain Mackay the Noo
I want to hear about the Mother's Day present.
00:10:55
Jo
Look at him.
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Okay, I won't move on, Eamon wants to know what it is, no.
00:10:56
Iain Mackay the Noo

00:10:57
Iain Mackay the Noo
No. I want to know what it is, Joe.
00:10:57

00:11:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
OK.
00:11:12
Jo
um No, dead quick anyway, I should have brought it for for the show anyway but anyway Marcus decided to get me a wonderful mug for Mother's Day once. I mean a mug's a bit of a random one anyway but but then he thought he was great because he thought he got it like specially made because well especially maybe he picked it out and special mam and stuff on the side or anything like that because Marcus just grabs the first thing he sees on any shelf and I don't care if he hears this because he knows it's the truth he's picked up a you are a very special nan so I went from being a young mother at the time well youngish younger than I am now um to a full-on granny with this mug so I was well impressed with not only was it a mug but it had an a nan on the side as well so yeah see that's it needed to be brought up so
00:11:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
that is actually brilliant to be fair it it isn't christmas but that is that is fantastic um i'll very quickly go i'll very quick yeah go on in yeah

00:13:07
Jo
That's where hers went.
00:13:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh Anyway, um obviously for the listeners, we we very rarely talk about our ourselves, but it does have a Christmas twist. And if you've got anything you've received, you've got no idea why. I would love to see the comments. I'd love to read them over Christmas, maybe Boxing Day, um to see if, again, you've received anything. You've just got no idea why you received it.
00:13:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
We would normally take a break at this point, but it's going to be a longer episode, as you can tell. It's been an interesting reduction in ah but about ah um first talk and talking point. So I guess what we're going to go through next, we're going to make it Newcastle related. What do we think Newcastle players are asking for for Christmas?
Favorite and Least Favorite Football Teams
00:13:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now you can be as creative as you want with this. We'll include Eddie Howe and Jason Tyndall. We'll try not to go too personal because there's a couple which I thought of, which i I'm going to leave behind.
00:13:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
so I'm just going to go in the same order. Michael, what do you think some of the Newcastle players are asking for this Christmas?
00:13:59
Michael
Oh, how way.
00:14:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah know I know. It's just hard.
00:14:05
Michael
all right um damn i'll start with an easy person to sort of not joke about yeah damn but um i think he'd get like a dj set he feels like the kind of guy that would have parties over at his house play the music blast and have the uh whatever the dance move is or whatever he is bit of that and obviously we love you dan
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
um burn
00:14:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was going to say a third finger.
00:14:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We said not personal.
00:14:28
Jo
Wow.
00:14:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, it is, but he won't mind, would he?
00:14:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well, probably not.
00:14:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Three factors of a dance move.
00:14:36
Iain Mackay the Noo
As long as they sew it onto his hand Kev, you know, if you get an extra finger to put it on the side of his face, that's just, that isn't nice.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll stick with DJ set.
00:14:42
Jo

00:15:16
Jo
I'm going with Trivia, and I think he's a bit of a rogue, and a bit of a little kind of charverish kind of guy, because he is, isn't he? Because he admitted he was a rogue when he was younger. So he's going to get a live, laugh, love, emblazoned crushed velvet sofa,
00:15:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Wow.

00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
He'd love that wouldn't he? Just a hundred minutes in any some bed shop. He'd be in his element. We'll go around one more time and then we'll go to our first break. Michael.
00:15:56
Michael

Jo
Cool.
00:18:04
Global Sports Podcast Network

00:18:11
Jo
Let's start again. start again yeah
00:18:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
OK.
00:18:18
Jo
No. Here at Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot of time selecting our delivery platform.
00:18:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Zencaster came out the clear winner.
00:18:32
Jo
with 4K video recording from your phone and AI editing that automatically removes all those M's and R's. It's super easy.
00:18:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'll finish it off. It's super easy to start a podcast that sounds great and is delivered efficiently. If you are ready to tell your story, check out the link in the show description to learn more about Zencaster.
00:18:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
When you go to the nativity, it was like a big pause between lines.
00:18:57
Iain Mackay the Noo
eight honestly but
00:19:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
That literally happened right there. And Joe just lost all composure.
00:19:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We didn't practice it.
00:19:06
Michael
standard with a script like that.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
So the good kid, the good kid had to come in and finish off Joe's lines. That was brilliant.
00:19:11
Jo
Thanks, Nick.
00:19:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We didn't practice it, sorry.
00:19:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
What were your thoughts on that Ian?
00:19:12
Jo
Thank you.
00:19:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm intrigued to get Ian's feedback on that performance and my nativity.
00:19:17
Iain Mackay the Noo
I just think that the Zencaster will have to take extra staff on to answer the phones because they'll be ringing off the walls after that. list People listening to that advert, everyone is phoning up. They're already clicking on one of the old podcasts to see the details in our show description.
00:19:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:19:31
Jo
It's attention-grabbing, right?
00:19:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fantastic.
00:19:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Sorry guys, sorry.
00:19:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
That is brilliant.
00:19:36
Jo
Me, GME.
00:19:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, in this part of the Christmas special, we are going to share the love a little bit because we all know Christmas is a time to spend with family. People you don't normally see or don't normally give credit to, you normally end up seeing quite a bit.
00:19:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we're going to do that with football clubs. So I'm going to ask you, and you can list as many as you want. There might not be very many. And and I'd love to get other Newcastle fans thought on this to see the chair. I've got one controversial one. We're going to go through the clubs we quite like. The clubs we like to see pick up points over the Christmas period with loads of games. It's a busy time. and What clubs do we not mind seeing? It can be anybody. It can be Premier League. It can be lower leagues. It can be anywhere.
00:20:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
and since joe and nick Well, not nick actually Nick did a great job, but since Joni's time to compose, I'm going to come to Ian first. Ian, which clubs do you not mind?
00:20:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but
00:20:23
Iain Mackay the Noo
Oh.
00:20:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Which clubs do you quite like? Do you allow them to pick up points over Christmas? Never, love.
00:20:31
Iain Mackay the Noo
Well, I would say, I would say Gateshead and Berwick Ranges are two clubs that are are further on than that. I want them to win every week. um Not to the point where I go and stand on the terraces.
00:20:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh!
00:20:45
Iain Mackay the Noo
It's too far to Berwick for a start. And I have been to Gateshead two or three times, but yeah. In terms of teams who I don't mind I, it's quite generic. What I, what I really like is an underdog. So anybody who's high flying, getting their nose bloodied by somebody who is not being expected to, I love seeing that. I can remember Burnley beating man United one nil years ago. That was, and it was a great goal that won it as well. I'm not a big Burnley fan, but I was delighted that Burnley had won that game. Um, but more generic, quite like.
00:21:23
Iain Mackay the Noo
quite like Villa.
00:21:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh no.
00:21:24
Iain Mackay the Noo
That's my other team in the Premier League. and Unfortunately, unfortunately, they're getting smashed on Boxing Day. So, yeah. um I always have an eye open for Middlesbrough as well.
00:21:33
Jo
Hope so, it's all your fault.
00:21:36
Iain Mackay the Noo
I quite like Middlesbrough doing well. I'd like them um in the Premier League.
00:21:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know what, I'll share that one with you. That was my controversial one. I look at Middlesbroughs like a little brother rather than a massive rival.
Player Preferences and Rivalries
00:21:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I want them to do well, I just don't want them to do better than us.
00:21:46
Iain Mackay the Noo
Absolutely.
00:21:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
So if where if we're second in the league, Bearer can be third, I'll be quite happy. So I'm with you, I'm not one of you. I know lots of people are shaking their head.
00:21:55
Iain Mackay the Noo
Um, I like, uh, I like, and this is from watching footy when I was very young and Mike Neville used to do this, the Northeast Roundup.
00:21:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't hate Bearer.
00:22:04
Iain Mackay the Noo
I always have my eye open for Harley pool school, Carlisle school. Um, yeah. So it's all the Northeast teams apart from one that I haven't mentioned yet.
00:22:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I won't mention them on this pod.
00:22:18
Iain Mackay the Noo
No.
00:22:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nicola, which other clubs do you not mind seeing winning or you quite enjoy watching or anything like that?
00:22:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um So probably similar reasons to Ian, to be fair. I like quite like watching, well, I don't watch them actually. So I quite like seeing um Rangers in the Scottish League do well because my dad is a massive Rangers fan.
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:22:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um So when I see them, I know they're going for a bit of a dip the minute, but I quite like seeing them pick up points and I quite like seeing them do well because um my dad's a massive Rangers fan, so I like seeing them do well. Premier League team, I mean, doesn't bode well for um obviously the weekend that we just had, but I actually really like seeing Leicester win and we obviously thank God that we won.
00:23:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but I but don't know, I've got a bit of a soft spot for Leicester and I'm not sure why.
00:23:04
Jo
you
00:23:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think it's when they won the Premier League back in, was it 2016?
00:23:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:23:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just think I loved that. I absolutely loved it.
00:23:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And i've um yeah, I really, really like seeing them win. And also another team that I don't mind. I probably shouldn't say this before tomorrow. I like Brentford.
00:23:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't mind seeing them pick up points, but...
00:23:25
Michael
Gotta walk nonsense.
00:23:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yes, Michael, all brilliant.
00:23:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think it's more because I really like Thomas Frank. um Yeah, it's just a very controversial opinion and more close.
00:23:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ooh, interesting.
00:23:35
Jo
in
00:23:39
Iain Mackay the Noo
and Another Premier League character who has got destined for a career as a stripper when he finally stops playing football him and Fabian Shaw. Well, that's on your wish list, isn't it?
00:23:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It is top of that wish list.
00:23:50
Jo
Let's hope so.
00:23:53
Jo
Front row.
00:23:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and And then probably a more of a closer to home one that you guys won't really care about, but it will be um Corby Town where I live. I like seeing my hometown do well um and they're doing really well at the minute.
00:24:03
Jo
Fair play.
00:24:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So yeah, that's about it for me.
00:24:06
Jo
Cool.
00:24:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice. and Michael, you you reacted to Brentford with utter woke nonsense and I loved that, so I'm coming to you next. What teams do you quite like since we're spreading my love at the moment?
00:24:13
Michael
No problem.
00:24:17
Michael
ah From a young age, I've always had a, I know it's not in the UK, but I've always had a thing for Palmer. um When I was growing up, they had the likes of, yeah, Herne and Crespo, Lilian, Tyrone.
00:24:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, some unbelievable players.
00:24:27
Iain Mackay the Noo
Do you mean the ham? Do you mean the ham or the football team?
00:24:29
Michael
I do actually like Palmer Ham as well, as you can probably tell by my figure.
00:24:32
Jo
Oh yeah!
00:24:33
Michael
But ah and but yeah, the the team are fantastic as well. But to keep it in the UK, I actually quite liked Spurs for a little bit under Pochettino.
00:24:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
What a load of nonsense.
00:24:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
a oh
00:24:49
Michael
And I do now under Big Ange, to be fair.
00:24:49
Jo
Piffle!
00:24:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
i
00:24:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Brother, ooh.
00:24:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:24:52
Michael
Yeah, I mean, ah better than Arsenal, I'll tell you that.
00:24:55
Jo
in
00:24:56
Michael
um but obviously ah I'm a Blythe boy now so I always look for the Spartans always want the Spartans to do well and yeah hopefully they end up back up the open to the sixth tier or something where they belong.
00:25:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
something like that i follow them but i don't really care
00:25:13
Michael
Oh and the first ah I think it's tier 10 football club I ever worked for. Heaton Stannington. Heaton, my great team in the UK, in the Northeast. Got a great fan base and one of the best I've seen at that level. So I always look out for the star.
00:25:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice. Very nice. Joe?
00:25:34
Jo
Love it. um Well, I'll be honest, it's a bit weird because me and Nick have picked a couple of similar ones, just not Brentford, because I don't know where that came from. um
00:25:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I explained my reasoning.
00:25:46
Jo
You did.
00:25:46
Michael
Well,
00:25:47
Jo
Well, I just don't have it. That's all. I'm not going to lie. ah
00:25:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah Okay cool, yep.
00:25:50
Jo
nice Sorry, the top of my list was Lestix. I've always had a soft spot and it came from a little bit further back than your soft spot. It was from when we beat them 7-1 that time and it wasn't and I've said it before, it wasn't because we beat them 7-1, it was because the fans were brilliant that day, pre-match, post-match, it was are just great.
00:26:04
Iain Mackay the Noo
Thank you.
00:26:09
Jo
So I've always kind of Well, there's no dislike at all. I loved it when they won the league, I think as a result. But yeah, always had a massive soft spot. The only problem is looking ahead at their fixtures, right? Really, I can see them beating wolves this weekend. So that might be a good start. However, they're really going to need a Christmas miracle against Liverpool when they're a away to them on Boxing Day. So they might have a bit of a dodgy Christmas, bless them. But it's definitely a team that I'd love to see do well. And it was funny when you said Rangers, because Rangers are really, really like Rangers. And I really, really hate Celtic.
00:26:40
Jo
So it is it is two scores that I kind of look out for a bit like the whole Rangers and Celtic is very much like us in the Mackhams. And strange enough, some don't do more associate with Celtic from what I've heard.
00:26:51
Jo
um But yeah, so they're my only two teams, I'll be honest, because I don't follow a lot of lower league football. I'm not going to lie about that either. So yeah, that's me.
00:27:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
A Newcastle woman?
00:27:02
Jo
Yeah, but I thought, well, men, you see, I can't win.
00:27:03
Michael
Nah.
00:27:05
Jo
Don't you start, Michael.
00:27:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, Michael.
00:27:08
Jo
You wanted to be a woman near the other day.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
well
00:27:11
Michael
You're damn right I did darling.
00:27:14
Jo
Yes, yes, baby.
00:27:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I have missed a whole chapter. I've missed a chapter.
00:27:16
Jo
Get in.
00:27:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well...
00:27:18
Iain Mackay the Noo
so
00:27:19
Jo
But yeah, obviously in your cast of women, it's an absolute given.
00:27:19
Iain Mackay the Noo
have
00:27:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You've got that teapot now, Michael.
00:27:23
Iain Mackay the Noo
and
00:27:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got a couple which
00:27:24
Iain Mackay the Noo
just
00:27:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm gonna go through my teams who I don't mind sharing my love about and one was Middlesbrough actually who I did back in with I know it's not a popular one but I just I don't know, there's something about them.
00:27:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
I liked them when they had Jakubu and Viduka and all them type of players, and I just don't mind those, but i I quite like them in a way. It's it's strange. and This next one is not going to go down well, so I'm prepared for Backlash.
00:27:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
But ever since I was little, I had the Invincible team, and I did get a soft spot for them, so it's Arsenal.
00:27:50
Jo
I don't hate them.
00:27:51
Michael
Get out.
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I quite like Arsenal, I've said it.
00:27:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Mm hmm.
00:27:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Not very popular. Lots of people dislike Arsenal, but I quite
Christmas-themed Football Quiz
00:27:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
like them. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Arteta anymore. but just Arsenal as a club, I quite like.
00:28:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:28:02
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then an honourable mention to a foreign club because Matt got palmering, which was a great shout. I've always had a soft spot for Valencia and I don't know why.
00:28:09
Michael
Stretch out.
00:28:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it might have been my whole David Villa thing in La Liga, but I love Valencia. So there's my kind of other clubs I quite like to see. Now let's flip it because Christmas, as well as we love to share, we love and tell people how much we appreciate them.
00:28:20
Jo
of yeah
00:28:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
We also love to tell the people we don't like how much we dislike them. So Which clubs do we strongly dislike? I'm going to start this one and I'm going to go to Liverpool. I cannot stand Liverpool. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it was club. I don't know anything, but only Liverpool players I've ever liked ever in my history of Liverpool is Jaby Alonso and Fernando Torres.
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Other than that, I've liked nothing to do with Liverpool ever.
00:28:49
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just strongly, strongly cannot stand that club. Everything about it is just entitlement. I haven't been successful in the Premier League for 30 odd years.
00:28:59
Jo
yeah
00:29:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've been one trophy, which was without fans. It couldn't have happened to a nicer team. and So yeah, anyway, that's what I really dislike. The others don't really exist.
00:29:09
Jo
Brilliant.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I'm going to go with Nicola first. I know your husband's a Liverpool fan, so you love that.
00:29:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Everton, Celtic, Sunderland. um I absolutely cannot stand Everton, the other scouts club um in the eye.
00:29:21
Michael
Yeah.
00:29:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Something about scousers, isn't
00:29:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't even know why. And do you know what's really quite sad? I... um No,
00:29:29
Michael
We love you, Scousers.
00:29:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't.
00:29:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Eddie Scouse.
00:29:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Do you know what's really quite sad?
00:29:33
Jo
I'm sure they hate us too, it's fine.
00:29:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I had a...
00:29:35
Iain Mackay the Noo
R.A.
00:29:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams

00:29:36
Iain Mackay the Noo
R.A.
00:29:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Eddie Scouse Jordies, you're welcome.
00:29:39
Iain Mackay the Noo
Jam Jam Jam Jam.
00:29:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I um had a, my favourite teacher at school was a massive Everton fan and it wasn't until obviously I got more into football as I was growing up. I was like, I actually really don't even like Everton and he was my favourite teacher as well.
00:29:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um But yeah, don't like seeing them do well, hope to see them get relegated soon.
00:29:54
Jo
i
00:29:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Celtic, hate Celtic. um I think everything that club stands for and their fans are also um horrific. um Yeah.
00:30:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
There are two clubs that I do not like and obviously goes about mentioning the Macums, but we're not giving them any time.
00:30:12
Jo
We don't sway on this pod.
00:30:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:30:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep, we don't swear on here.
00:30:15
Michael
and
00:30:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michael, I'm intrigued now. Which clubs do you just... I'm not going to use the word hate, but strongly dislike.
00:30:23
Michael
Well, I agree with Nick, Everton's up there, although um I do actually read like Liverpool as a place, I think people are lovely. But Everton as a club, bottom tier, bottom of the barrel, scrape on the bottom of the barrel, realistically.
00:30:37
Jo
Yeah.
00:30:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, it's getting juicy.
00:30:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, that's what I meant when I said I hate them.
00:30:40
Jo
Yeah.
00:30:41
Michael
Yeah, we'll remember that. And then um also, well, Kev mentioned them earlier, Arsenal.
00:30:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Bring that back.
00:30:49
Michael
I cannot stand Arsenal with a path.
00:30:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I like Arsenal.
00:30:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh
00:30:52
Michael
Arsene Wenger got them some, you know, a bit of bounty points, a bit of reputation.
00:30:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
What a guy. What a guy Austin Menger was.
00:30:56
Michael
They were okay. And ever since they've hounded Arsene Wenger out the club, you know,
00:31:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, not their finest moment.
00:31:05
Michael
I mean, I get it. They had to deal with Marow and Shamak. I understand. We had to deal with, what was it, Chef Nikuchi? We understand.
00:31:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Shamak still would have walked in most of our teams under athlete.
00:31:16
Jo
but
00:31:18
Michael
You're not wrong. But the way Arsenal fans acted is so entitled. And they just believe that everything should be theirs. And honestly, when they were finishing 7th day, I was the happiest man on earth.
00:31:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah That's a great answer Joe which clubs do you strongly dislike before we finish with Ian in front of some blockbusters?
00:31:39
Jo
Um, I almost feel like I need to kind of show my notes a bit, which you probably can't see because it's a bit freaky. Everything Nick saying is what I've got down to. I had everything at the top of my list because I really can't stand them.
00:31:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
You love Nick you just keep copying off Nick
00:31:51
Jo
I'm blatantly just copying. Can I go first next time? So it shows I'm not. No, I've got them down this. I literally wrote Everton, scouts and Mackhams. That's why I hate them. So yeah, they are.
00:32:01
Jo
They're just, like you say, bottom of the barrel, not worth talking about.
00:32:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:32:04
Jo
And that's the only time I'm going to mention the Mackhams because obviously we hate them. We never want them to see well. and Good. I can't speak. Do good. And I don't want them to come up. I'm not one of those Jordies at all that want them to come up, by the way.
00:32:16
Jo
So yeah. none of that malarkey um manu because i think that's an obvious one isn't it man never ever want to see them win nah they scum nah no but they're up their own backsides as a result they've got fake ass fans no i can't have it no
00:32:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah.
00:32:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't hate, I don't hate my new, I don't know why. I feel like we're such a big club. We are literally the biggest club in England. that They are, but they kind of have a right to be, don't they?
00:32:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, they do, they kind of have a right to be.
00:32:34
Jo
But then some people might say a that about Liverpool, because Liverpool have had a lot of success in the past.
00:32:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, because we've won one Premier League in 30 years.
00:32:40
Jo
Ah, but that's just 30 years, like, nah.
00:32:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
We definitely have this zero right to be entitled.
00:32:44
Jo
Nah, I can't get away with that. Hate my news, sorry. um So yeah, I just unfortunately think that they might have a really good Christmas because they've got two very easy games.
00:32:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
David Beckham made me late.
00:32:52
Jo
They're at home to Bournemouth and they're away to Wolves in their recent wonderful form.
00:32:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
bomb is not an easy game.
00:32:55
Michael
And then they get bad bios.
00:32:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, we'll batter them.
00:32:58
Jo
You are, sorry?
00:32:59
Michael
And then they get bad bios.
00:33:01
Jo
That's fine. I didn't go beyond Boxing Day, sorry.
00:33:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:33:04
Jo
Let's hope we do. But yeah, I was just about the two games over Christmas, but unfortunately, I think the Manxgum are gonna get um some points. Fortunately.
00:33:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't mind mine United, knowing they don't finish above us again, I don't mind them.
00:33:14
Jo
See now, I don't hate Liverpool as much as you hate Liverpool, you see, which is weird.
00:33:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Same.
00:33:19
Jo
I don't, like, it's a funny one.
00:33:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
God, luckiest team in the world.
00:33:22
Jo
Oh, don't get me wrong, they're entitled and they're crybabies and everything is war on me, isn't it?
00:33:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honestly, at 3-0, that Istanbul final is an absolute honesty.
00:33:26
Jo
Yeah.
00:33:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So lucky it's unbelievable. I wish that season of COVID got cancelled. I wish we'd just made it null and void. We never would have had a league title, and we still don't deserve one.
00:33:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Horrendous.
00:33:39
Jo
Like I say, it's a fake one though, it's fine.
00:33:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jurgen Klopp has a lot to answer for. Ian, who's the club you dislike the most?
00:33:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
God.
00:33:47
Iain Mackay the Noo
Well, I think I'm just detecting a pattern here based on, on ages that you're hating the team that is that's most entitled and most successful when you were in your formative years.
00:34:00
Iain Mackay the Noo
That's why I don't like Manchester United as well. Cause I had to live through all of Alex Ferguson's 26 years.
00:34:04
Jo
Because I'm old like Ian.
00:34:08
Iain Mackay the Noo
Um, I don't like Liverpool for some reason, for some reason we keep out playing Liverpool and then losing to them.
00:34:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Merry Christmas, Joel.
00:34:15
Iain Mackay the Noo
that in recent years, but I mean, I can remember the Liverpool team being dominant before Man United came to the fore. I don't like Arsenal because of when Wenger was in charge, they had these invincibles, don't like that.
00:34:28
Iain Mackay the Noo
No, it's jealousy is what it is.
00:34:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
um lu
00:34:30
Iain Mackay the Noo
It's what jealousy, that's what it is. I want us to be up there. Who do I really not like? I don't like Everton either and I'm not sure why.
00:34:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ooh.
00:34:39
Iain Mackay the Noo
They're just non-entities, are they? They're just non-entities.
00:34:42
Jo
There you are. Exactly.
00:34:42
Iain Mackay the Noo
They don't ever play attractive football.
00:34:43
Michael
yeah
00:34:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, the minging.
00:34:46
Iain Mackay the Noo
Um, you could chuck in, you could chuck in, uh, Sheffield United.
00:34:48
Jo
Megan. I love that.
00:34:51
Iain Mackay the Noo
I would never watch a match that Sheffield United are playing in. Um, and that's not just from last year's premier league season. I just find them, uh, leads, leads, leads is local to be here.
00:35:04
Iain Mackay the Noo
And there's a lot of leads fans.
00:35:05
Jo
I don't like leads.
00:35:05
Iain Mackay the Noo
So yeah why are they arrogant?
00:35:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
leads.
00:35:09
Jo
No.
00:35:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't mind the driver had a good team that was growing up.
00:35:09
Michael
Yeah.
00:35:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um I'm all right.
00:35:11
Iain Mackay the Noo
Why, yeah why are they so arrogant?
00:35:11
Jo
They haven't got light spans.
00:35:11
Michael
All right.
00:35:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:13
Jo
Nah. They are.
00:35:15
Iain Mackay the Noo
I don't know. It's a lot, it's a lot of them, isn't it? It's, it's all of our challenges.
00:35:18
Jo
Yeah.
00:35:18
Iain Mackay the Noo
I don't really like it. And it's the ones who aren't really challenges that I don't mind seeing them win.
00:35:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hmm, fair.
00:35:25
Iain Mackay the Noo
That's what it is.
00:35:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
What I will mention each, I also love Seattle Sounders and I also love Columbus Crew.
00:35:26
Iain Mackay the Noo
And if you want to sweep yourself guys.
00:35:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know why I love the MLS quite a bit.
00:35:34
Jo
Well, that's random.
00:35:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I watch the M&S a lot but yeah I've got loads of M&S shirts actually it's a bit of a weird collection.
00:35:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and I don't want it.
00:35:40
Jo
um My team's DC United. Just can't live there.
00:35:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, before we go to our second break and then come back, and let's just go through some players who we don't mind again.
00:35:46
Jo
Just like whatever.
00:35:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's share the love and we'll just do love and hate at the same time. um Ian, you go first as you finish it off here. Which non-N UFC player, current player by the way, do you quite like and want your dislike?
00:36:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we'll just fly through this and go up a second advert.
00:36:08
Iain Mackay the Noo
I quite like. Quite like Cole Palmer. Not old enough to have a personality yet, but what a footballer. I think Mo Salah is really, really.
00:36:18
Jo
You'll never have one Ian.
00:36:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, just I dislike Palmer for some reason.
00:36:20
Iain Mackay the Noo
I think Mo Salah is a really, really, really humble, humble guy for being.
00:36:22
Jo
No, I don't like him.
00:36:27
Jo
It's cause he's got no cells up there.
00:36:28
Iain Mackay the Noo
Statistically, I reckon greatest of all time.
00:36:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, he's not right in the head, is he?
00:36:32
Jo
He's not man.
00:36:32
Iain Mackay the Noo
uh...
00:36:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
One you dislike him.
00:36:33
Jo
He's beyond like, oh, it's like knocking on wood.
00:36:33
Iain Mackay the Noo
yet i like that when i dislike well who do i dislike bruno just
00:36:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, forget it.
00:36:43
Jo
That's mine.
00:36:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, that's a great shout.
00:36:43
Michael
Oh, that's who I've got written down as well.
00:36:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I hate him.
00:36:46
Jo
That's how I've got as well.
00:36:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cannot stand that bloke.
00:36:48
Jo
Is that not an obvious pick for everyone?
00:36:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've got a different one.
00:36:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honestly, you played horrendous against Man City's goal, apparently when over to Man City you finds out you've had a shocker of a game, pal, you're supposed to be the captain.
00:36:51
Jo
ah
00:36:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:36:59
Iain Mackay the Noo
yeah um
00:37:02
Iain Mackay the Noo
I like, I do like James Madison, even when he he's gone to Tottenham and didn't come to us. I still like him.
00:37:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's got a lot of faces, honey.
00:37:07
Iain Mackay the Noo
I think he's a great player. I like Jack realish because he's got a sticky smile.
00:37:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh no.
00:37:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
to
00:37:13
Jo
What's happening?
00:37:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, no, no.
00:37:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's got a nice smile, did you say?
00:37:14
Iain Mackay the Noo
He's a funny bloke.
00:37:14
Jo
It's all wrong.
00:37:16
Iain Mackay the Noo
He's a funny bloke.
00:37:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
You like Jack Greenish, but he's got a nice smile.
00:37:17
Iain Mackay the Noo
He's a funny bloke.
00:37:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:37:18
Michael
like my wife
00:37:21
Iain Mackay the Noo
Yeah, I like him.
00:37:21
Jo
Ian's on the turn.
00:37:22
Iain Mackay the Noo
I think he's a great player. No, no, I'm not.
00:37:26
Jo
No, I'm not honest.
00:37:26
Iain Mackay the Noo
I promised. Well, don not any more than usual anyway.
00:37:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
no
00:37:32
Iain Mackay the Noo
um
00:37:32
Michael
ah
00:37:32
Iain Mackay the Noo
I'm trying to think who I really don't like though. I quite, I quite like players, you know, I do quite like the players. play I don't like the teams. I don't blame them for playing for them because, you know, I used to hate Paul Braceville and then he signed for Newcastle and I thought he's wonderful.
00:37:45
Michael
Sounded like my wife.
00:37:45
Iain Mackay the Noo
I used to dislike Gary Speed and then he signed for Newcastle and he's a, he's a bloody idol now, isn't he? So, you know, it's not the, it's not the players, Anthony Gordon's case in point.
00:37:51
Jo
I used to hate Anthony Gordon.
00:37:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:37:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair prayer.
00:37:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True.
00:37:55
Jo
Yeah.
00:37:55
Iain Mackay the Noo
Yeah. So, uh, there's a few to get your teeth into there.
00:37:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michael?
00:38:00
Michael
yeah this is this is going to sound like a strange one because my favorite player outside of new castle plays for a team i hate um and it's kai havert i really like kai havert i think all around he's one of those he's one of the most complete sort of number 10 slash false nines you can get
00:38:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You're going to say the same as me. Oh, no, it's not.
00:38:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow, didn't expect that.
00:38:14
Iain Mackay the Noo
We have it.
00:38:14
Jo
No.
00:38:23
Michael
Probably in world football and I think Chelsea criminally underused him Arsenal used him correctly last season and he was the reason the Nellie won the title well one of the reasons the Nellie won the title for me I love him thinks a fantastic player.
00:38:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow.
00:38:37
Michael
I wanted us to sign him before he went to Arsenal and then what I hate Well, if we've said Bruno. So Fernandez that is before I get any head the second one is Killian Mbappe there is
00:38:46
Jo
but
00:38:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Good correction.
00:38:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:38:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah, good shout.
00:38:51
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. Great shout.
00:38:53
Michael
There has never been a player so smug, so arrogant, but not actually able to back it up.
00:38:53
Jo
Awful.
00:38:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
horrendous.
00:39:01
Michael
You had a stake in PSG and you nearly ruined the club.
00:39:01
Jo
Yep.
00:39:07
Michael
I mean, you nearly ruined a club backed by billionaire owners.
00:39:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:39:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:39:12
Michael
How do you even manage that?
00:39:14
Michael
ah It's ridiculous.
00:39:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Great shout.
00:39:15
Michael
and
00:39:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's a good shot, that one.
00:39:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
We should have ended with Michael. That's a brilliant shout.
00:39:18
Jo
That is why. Hang on.
00:39:20
Michael
I'll end it there.
00:39:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Joe?
00:39:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well done.
00:39:23
Jo
No brilliant, mate, I'll be honest. um I mean, yeah, I'll go back to fer Fernandez was the one I hate. I did write most of the Man U team, then I just wrote, because they're totally arrogant, and then I wrote, particular yeah, particularly Bruno because he's an awful person.
00:39:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh start an 11!
00:39:35
Jo
So that's pretty much exactly what I wrote down before. This is how I feel about Fernandez. So I'll swiftly move on because I'm more about the positivity. um I love Son for Spurs. I just, I've always loved him.
00:39:46
Michael
we got
00:39:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh!
00:39:49
Jo
I just do. He's just a great player. He seems like a really nice guy. i Don't think, he obviously agrees with us based on the Hummin.
00:39:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No he does not, but that's fine.
00:39:56
Jo
Um...
00:39:56
Michael
No that was a big grunt.
00:39:57
Jo
Psssh!
00:39:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:39:59
Jo
A bit of a grunty hummy, whatever.
00:40:00
Michael
I felt the testosterone.
00:40:01
Jo
Um, but yeah, I like Son. Yeah, I've got more on my list of likes than dislikes. I've got to be honest, because I wrote 3 down. I wrote Son, Saka, and De Bruyne. All great players, and I just don't hate them as people because sometimes you see people in and interviews and you get a bad vibe, none of them I do get from. But I am actually very interested to hear why Kev grunted its song.
00:40:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just think, I don't know, he's got this reputation of being a nice person, but I've never seen it ever. Like he cried when he broke someone's leg, I get it. But like, I've never seen him be, how does anybody know he's a nice person?
00:40:30
Jo
I'm more meaning of the player, I think, if I'm honest. It's like, I don't know.
00:40:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
He could be an absolute melt.
00:40:35
Jo
But any of them could though.
00:40:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, he ever could, but like, I just, I just don't get how he has received this reputation out of nowhere.
00:40:37
Jo
But any of them could. And most of them probably are.
00:40:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah I'm not, yeah.
00:40:44
Jo
But what's he done bad then? That's why.
00:40:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Been overrated.
00:40:47
Jo
Is what he done bad?
00:40:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Broke someone's leg.
00:40:49
Jo
You reckon?
00:40:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Broke someone's leg.
00:40:53
Jo
Fair play?
00:40:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:54
Jo
Well, I still like him.
00:40:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Good shot though, I didn't think of him.
00:40:55
Jo
His aunt bullion is.
00:40:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not a fan of them. Nick, where you going with?
00:41:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Right, for plays I hate, I've got three. So I am going, there's a bit of a theme here, I'm going Jordan Pickford, cannot stand him.
00:41:04
Jo
Go.
00:41:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's a good one.
00:41:10
Jo
What about that wonderful player?
00:41:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just think he's at, well, i tell I can't stand him, obviously, I don't know him personally.
00:41:13
Jo
He's awful.
00:41:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I hate him for Everton, but I like him for England.
00:41:16
Jo
He's horrible.
00:41:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm not sure what the correlation is there, but
00:41:18
Jo
He's rough as a badger.
00:41:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's these little facial expressions for me when you're making a Ah, rotten.
00:41:19
Jo
He's a charver. He's awful.
00:41:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, it's his attitude, is it's his anger, it's his, he's just mingin', yeah.
00:41:22
Jo
He's horrible.
00:41:28
Jo
He's not a nice person.
00:41:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Yeah, another one, and this is not gonna go down well in my household, um another player that I just haven't warmed to and everyone's like, oh, he's so good. Harvey Elliott.
00:41:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ah, he's got him a face as well, isn't he?
00:41:41
Jo
I've got nothing on this one.
00:41:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
it's Sorry?
00:41:45
Jo
It's got a what?
00:41:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's got a face, he's got one of them faces like Pikmin.
00:41:47
Jo
Oh, I thought you meant it was like two-faced.
00:41:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah No, well,
Comedic Interlude with Advert
00:41:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
he might be.
00:41:51
Michael
It's got one of them faces, isn't he?
00:41:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah you might be
00:41:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, but he's just, I just think, yeah, I just think he, uh, he just annoys me every time he's on my TV screen.
00:41:53
Michael
Aye!
00:41:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So yeah, that can go. Um, and another player that I, this is going to cause up some stir, um, Harland. I don't like him for some reason. I'm not sure why.
00:42:08
Jo
I don't like him at all either.
00:42:09
Michael
Oh.
00:42:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, fair.
00:42:10
Jo
I'm with you.
00:42:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just, I think he's overrated to be honest, unless he's, I don't know.
00:42:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair.
00:42:11
Jo
Overrated as well. In world class. Yeah.
00:42:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I just, there's something about him that I'm just not keen on, but players I love, I've got four. I've got Declan Rice, Jarrah Bowen, Pekai Osaka, Drew Bellenham.
00:42:20
Michael
Oh.
00:42:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, nah.
00:42:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
They're the four I like.
00:42:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
I do like Jude Belling, fair play.
00:42:25
Jo
See, you got second.
00:42:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Yeah,
00:42:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I'm going to very quickly round this off with this, like Bruno Fernandes, obviously goes without saying, so does Jordan Pickford.
00:42:33
Michael
Yeah.
00:42:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
My other one on that list is Declan Rice. I mean, how has there ever been a more overrated player sideways and backwards, sideways and backwards, kind of pass forward?
00:42:40
Michael
ah
00:42:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Harland. Harland's overrated.
00:42:41
Jo
Yeah, yes.
00:42:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Doesn't know what a forward pass is. Honestly, a hundred million for that is absolutely horrendous. um Declan Rice is one of my most disliked.
00:42:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:42:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
In terms of who I like, Kevin De Bruyne, definitely i I love Kevin De Bruyne, he's got a great first in name.
00:42:54
Michael
Yeah.
00:42:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
and and And I also like Mohammed Salah. I love Mohammed Salah. I don't know why I like him so much, I shouldn't like him.
00:43:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So good.
00:43:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
But every time Liverpool come to St James's, I can't stand Liverpool. I think, God, it would be horrendous if we lose to these entitled little people. And then Mo Salah walks on the pitch and he just controls the ball coming down with snow on it from the Alps and he just takes that first touch and I think oh your class you're so good you are ridiculously talented come play for Newcastle please think he's
00:43:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:43:24
Jo
Kev, we know when you talk about arrogance, do you reckon he's one of those? Do you reckon and he's one of those that we want to love? Because I do love Salah, by the way. Do you reckon he might be one of those that, you know, when they say, oh, you shouldn't meet your heroes and you shouldn't meet idols or whatever.
00:43:35
Jo
I reckon he might be one of those that he's going to love himself that bit much, I reckon.
00:43:35
Michael
Yeah.
00:43:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he might be the other way.
00:43:38
Jo
Come on.
00:43:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he might be really like humble, but I don't know.
00:43:40
Jo
You reckon?
00:43:40
Iain Mackay the Noo
i think he's a nice fella i think he does a i think it is a lot for charity back home there's a lot for charity even his wife
00:43:42
Jo
I reckon he's more likely to have an ego.
00:43:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, John, more too.
00:43:46
Jo
You still have an ego and do it off a lot for charity, you know. You know, same.
00:43:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah ah I do. I agree with Ian. I think Salah might be with a way, but again, I don't know. But yeah, they're my two. I do really like who aren't Newcastle players. De Bruyne, even though he ripped us a new one last season when he came off a bench and won the game for City. And again, more Salah who normally does very well against us. But I feel like when you've got that much quality, it's very hard to dislike somebody. Right. Our next joint nativity panel advert together. It's Ian and Michael.
00:44:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's got to be better than my last one.
00:44:19

Michael
Every day.

Iain Mackay the Noo
Wow. And how many clubs would you talk about?
00:45:50

00:47:09
Iain Mackay the Noo
It is.
00:47:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I've probably got about, it's only about six questions. It's not very long, but I think with five of us, we do need extra time. So that's why I haven't done too many questions.
00:47:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:47:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's good.
00:47:24
Global Sports Podcast Network

Iain Mackay the Noo
Always against skills, is it?
00:47:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, boys against girls.
00:47:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:47:28
Iain Mackay the Noo
and we just shout Are we shouting out or or are we are we going on an alternative?
00:47:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we just go shouting out.
00:47:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, OK.
00:47:36
Michael
yeah Okay.
00:47:37
Iain Mackay the Noo
All right, it's all on you then, Michael.
00:47:37
Jo
Uh-oh.
00:47:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Whoever's quickest will represent their team.
00:47:40
Michael
Apologize to the listeners now.
00:47:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right, first question, quite an easy one, Daily Newcastle related actually.
00:47:49
Michael
Oh.
00:47:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know, because we've had the Spotify rap now, do you know what is Daily Newcastle's most listened to episode on Spotify?
00:48:01
Iain Mackay the Noo
Rather than this one, presumably.
00:48:01
Michael
Oh.
00:48:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um I'm gonna go, well, but we can't even think about it.
00:48:09
Michael
Southampton Review.
00:48:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bang on, there you go. Michael, Ian, 1-0.
00:48:15
Jo
Really?
00:48:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Self-harm review is the most played and most popular episode on Daily Newcastle.
00:48:15
Iain Mackay the Noo
How did you get that, Meg?
00:48:19
Jo
How'd you know that?
00:48:21
Global Sports Podcast Network

00:48:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams

00:48:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Come on.
00:48:31
Jo
Cool.
00:48:33
Michael
So, makes sense.
00:48:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, well done. Nice 1-0 start.
00:48:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well done, Michael. Damn it.
00:48:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, next one. This one, One of the answers is really easy, so you're not going to get a point and I'm going to give you the first one I've just decided, but the second one is quite interesting. So Alan Shearer, Newcastle legend, Jodie Hero, one of our own, right, is one of two players to be a top scorer for more than one Premier League club.
00:49:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Can you name who the other player is?
00:49:02
Michael
Robin Van Persie.
00:49:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Incorrect. He's not the top Premier League scorer for Man United.
00:49:08
Michael
Oh.
00:49:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you have to be the top scorer, the top scorer for two Premier League clubs.
00:49:09
Iain Mackay the Noo
So what's the question?
00:49:09
Michael
Ah, okay.
00:49:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Alan Shearer is one, Blackburn in Newcastle.
00:49:15
Iain Mackay the Noo
Do you mean in a season or do you mean overall?
00:49:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm going to go Wayne Rooney.
00:49:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wayne Rooney is top scorer for Miami United, but not for Everton.
00:49:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Done. Sorry, Jo.
00:49:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
You can keep getting.
00:49:25
Jo
Sorry, I'm not gonna give an answer yet.
00:49:25
Iain Mackay the Noo
a
00:49:28
Jo
um
00:49:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
So Shearer, Bellamy, no, played for a lot of clubs, but I don't think he's top scorer for any, I don't know that for Shearer though.
00:49:30
Iain Mackay the Noo
Greg Bellamy.
00:49:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um.
00:49:37
Michael
Is it your kubu?
00:49:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a great shout, but it's incorrect. Listeners at home, if you get this, no, incorrect.
00:49:42
Iain Mackay the Noo

00:49:55
Jo
one
00:49:55
Michael
Great show.
00:49:57
Jo
because it was in my head and I thought, I need recognition that he's still playing.
00:50:01
Michael

00:50:02
Global Sports Podcast Network

Nicola Pringle-Adams
A Premier League player
00:50:43

Next question. Next question.
00:51:15
Michael
but
00:51:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:51:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I thought Chelsea was going to come up in teams, people disliked or liked, but we didn't come up at all. But I'm still going to use a question anyway. So it doesn't link anymore, but it's going to get used. um Who is Chelsea's second all-time English Premier League scorer?
00:51:36
Michael
Joe Cole.
00:51:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Frank Lampard's number one, not Joe Cole. Who's the second?
00:51:44
Iain Mackay the Noo
Premier League.

00:51:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
English.
00:51:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh my god.
00:51:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, Lampard is number one with a ridiculous amount of goals. Who is Chelsea's second all-time English Premier League scorer?
00:51:53
Jo
God, I'm going to think
00:51:55
Iain Mackay the Noo
Paul Palmer.
00:51:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Incorrect.
00:51:58
Michael
Great show, though.
00:51:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah Hasn't Frank Lampard scored like over 200 goals for Chelsea or something?
00:51:59
Jo
Ashley Cole.
00:52:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Lampard was number one. Who's the second?
00:52:05
Iain Mackay the Noo
She's been not and Joe Cole was the next obvious one.
00:52:07
Jo
Ashley Cole?
00:52:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Did he had Jogba? Oh no, it was English.
00:52:09
