Introduction and Absentees
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Newcastle Podcast with GSPN. My name's Jo and I'm with my, I don't know what to call you there, girl. My girl, it's Nick.
00:00:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
with my girl.
00:00:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
How you doing? It's my girl.
00:00:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hello. Just us two again mate.
00:00:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know it's just us two, but we can't blame anyone this time. This is all on me. I wanted to get done early. Poor Kev, bless him, was stuck at work again and he did offer to do it, but yeah, I insist on getting to do it early.
00:00:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we won't slate him this time, but yeah, it's just the two of us.
00:00:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Not this time.
00:00:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're all right, man. We can talk for up all right.
00:00:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He has just messaged actually saying there's no dramas with me.
00:00:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
God bless him. Stop traumas with me. That's good. That's good. I like i like no drama. God bless him.
00:00:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Bless him.
00:00:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cool.
Review of the Wolves Game
00:00:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, um today is all about reviewing the wolves game was slightly late. We didn't do an immediate post match one this time. I think everyone's a bit too hyper because unless anyone's fallen off the face of the planet, everyone will know we're nine in a row now.
00:01:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, you know,
00:01:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Come on, come on.
00:01:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well on our way to that famous 14 that we were talking about in the last pod, so let's see if we can do it. I think we're even more hyped about making it now, exactly.
00:01:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
All the way.
00:01:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
And come go beyond 14.
00:01:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Absolutely.
00:01:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly. yeah it's just a good It's a great time to be a Geordie, right? Simple as that.
00:01:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's a good buzz. We're all happy, buzzing. And this is everything and more that we've ever asked for from a Newcastle team. So why wouldn't we be this excited?
00:01:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is very true. This is very true, just as I was leaving.
00:01:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We are the talk of every time I turn on Sky Sports. It's all they're talking about.
00:01:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And I love it.
00:01:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know.
00:01:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're obsessed with us. They always were obsessed with us, but now they're obsessed and they've got nothing bad to say.
00:01:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, I know.
00:01:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's great, isn't it?
00:01:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Brilliant. Yeah.
Newcastle's Rising Reputation
00:01:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Love it.
00:01:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know. As I was leaving work today, my manager had asked if I was at the match last night and I was like, you know, I was at the match. He was like, I, I was like, get to go to all of them.
00:01:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Of course.
00:01:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, and so we started being a bit daft like that. We were like, oh, how many were going to get and how far can we go and all this sort of thing. And then all of a sudden this guy that's sitting next to him was just like, I've never heard two people talk so much rubbish and I was like and I just went oh and who do you support like that like full of attitude and my manager's just like he's a Macam I was just like oh my god I was like get out of this conversation sort of thing and no so my man just starts ripping he was like look come back to us when you're in the same league will you just pipe down will you and all we then heard was well you're the richest club and I was like now pack it in we're not we've got the richest owners get your facts straight people exactly
00:02:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Man. Oh no. Absolutely not.
00:02:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah give it a rest not the richest club yep absolutely
00:02:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, that's enough about them locks. We don't need to be talking about them. We need to be talking about wolves.
Performance Analysis: Team and Individuals
00:02:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
We need to be talking about how bloody amazing we were, again, against wolves. We let wolves have five, ten minutes, you reckon? and Let them think that they could do something, right? Yeah.
00:02:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh we let them tie we let them tie themselves out we started slow but we let them tie themselves out and then we hit them yeah i think they're here give them a chance
00:02:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, yeah, but we smashed it. And I wouldn't even say like, I'm not going to sit here and be negative about it because we obviously were absolutely great, but I wouldn't even say that was us at our best.
00:03:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Don't know.
00:03:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, which, I mean, to come away with a three nil win when we weren't exactly at our best at points in the game.
00:03:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, it wasn't. No.
00:03:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's mad impressive, man, because old Newcastle teams, and I know like we shouldn't dwell on the past and that, but you know, you wouldn't see that now, like what we see now you wouldn't see back then.
00:03:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And it's just a really nice breath of fresh air that the fact that we can have down days but um come away with a result.
00:03:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Yeah, we we absolutely smashed it from start to finish.
00:03:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Yeah.
00:03:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely. I mean you've made a great point there so I was going to mention like the unity in our team now is just it's on another level isn't it really. I was going to talk about the chemistry of the front three but then we could talk about so much we could talk about about the chemistry of the defence.
00:03:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:03:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
The chemistry of the midfield I think we've talked about quite a lot of times and that was again evident to see.
00:03:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:03:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Strange enough I think of the three in the middle Big Joe had more of a poorer game, let's say, than he has recently. He didn't have a poor game, though, so it's like trying to find that kind of wording with that one.
00:04:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:04:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But from what we've seen recently, ah his standards have been quite poor.
00:04:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, that was quite poor standards, famously.
00:04:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, that's it. And if I'm honest, I don't think Gordon started the game as well as he finished the game. He hum more almost grew into the game. He was just making, I don't know. And again, it's weird to kind of slay at the guy because he killed it at the end of the day, didn't he?
00:04:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Killed it.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he does make mistakes.
00:04:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:04:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
He is human. And, you know, it just wasn't as strong at the start, that's all. but yeah Overall, there's nothing bad but to say about the game is it or just about our our performance as a whole.
00:04:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I will go back slightly to what I've just said though. I'll have front three at the minute, man. There's just EZAC's on fire, Gordon's on fire, and my boy Murphy, he's right up there with him. And I appreciate this as peak Murphy.
00:04:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll say it a million times. I'm not delusional. I do not think he's an EZAC. I do not think he's a Gordon. He's above them. That's what he is. He's on top.
00:04:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:04:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, so it's special.
00:04:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Jesus, it's been four minutes and we've mentioned, well, five minutes and Murphy's been mentioned now.
00:05:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Special.
00:05:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But um yeah, that front that front three, um
00:05:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on, Nick. yeah
00:05:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Is it crazy to say that I think Esac might be the best player in the world? Currently.
00:05:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right now he's the best striker in the world, but he is.
00:05:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Currently.
00:05:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
On form, he is.
00:05:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Maybe not the best player, but I mean, that's just me being biased because I'm just a magnet, Castle Hooligan. But, um, he is, um, I'm going to sound really cringy when I say this and I know when the boys listen back, they're going to be like, oh, typical women.
00:05:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But he is a special, special, special player that I honestly feel so lucky that we've managed to get him when we did.
00:05:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is.
00:05:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmhmm.
00:05:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And the fact that he's been under Eddie Howe's management and his play and style of play is developed into what we're seeing now. um ah yeah I ah just love him and i'm and it's honestly given me such great satisfaction here in all these clubs.
00:05:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
say You know, he's definitely the best striker in the league at the minute, um if not Europe, if not world.
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmhmm.
00:05:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And he's obviously on people's radars, which I don't know, Casify, obviously you kind of want, but you also don't want at the same time.
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And I just feel really, really lucky that we um have got the best striker um because he's so special.
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And also did um anyone see when he made that mad defense? um when I can't even remember what the game was, but just mad defending at the back as well.
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:06:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I was like, okay, so now he's like can play in defense.
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did.
00:06:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so
00:06:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, it was great. Yeah, absolutely great.
00:06:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a brilliant block or whatever you want to call it, wasn't it?
00:06:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And the, and the, yep, free cake.
00:06:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah. Wasn't it? It came from a free kick from there. Is that the one you're talking about?
00:06:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think so. Yeah. I think that was the one.
00:06:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah it was yeah well he
00:06:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. um Yeah. A special, special human.
Eddie Howe's Management Impact
00:06:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's what I'm going to say.
00:06:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
is and it's it's rippling through the squad isn't it it's rippling through the whole first team especially um and we're getting some decent power off the bench as well this everyone just seems to be gelling in some way or another and and again it goes back and you've you've just said there with eddie it does eddie's got such a massive and the coaching stuff you know i appreciate it's not just solely eddie on his own but there's a reason eddie has his team and there's a reason that eddie
00:06:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:06:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, 100%.
00:07:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
insists on taking his entire team with him wherever he goes and he said he wouldn't have taken the Newcastle job without his team. um And it's pretty obvious why they obviously work very well together, they know exactly what they kind of want from each other and what they expect.
00:07:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think he then, you know, God, he lives and breathes his job, doesn't he? And he admits that and he kind of, you know, his personal life pretty much takes
00:07:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah, he emits it now.
00:07:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's ah It's weird to say like a kind of a side thing to his life, but it kind of does. And I think he's touched on that in interviews, how his wife understands what he's like. Like she knows that upon him taking a new job, especially when he took Newcastle, she probably wasn't going to see him for a while.
00:07:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Or when she did, his brain was still completely switched on with the football all the time.
00:07:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
to yeah
00:07:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we are so lucky to have him as well. And that's why I think it goes back to especially when Kev had his rant about Um, the heady out haters, he was bang on and, and even more proven right now at this point, isn't it?
00:07:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh yeah
00:07:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, you you know, nobody's saying anything at this point.
00:07:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh yeah No one's saying anything about me at this point.
00:07:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
They better never.
00:07:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And I always do stand by the fact where we have lulls, criticism has to be had. um So that's not me sitting here saying that he deserved what he was getting over social media, because I damn i absolutely think it was downright disrespectful and a little bit um outrageous, I'm going to say.
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um The Eddie Howe Out Squad, I thought it was absolutely abysmal to to come on social media and see that. But people have to expect, and that includes us on this podcast, that when the team aren't performing comes criticism.
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
ye Yeah.
00:08:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But on the other side of that, when we're in this massive special part of our season, I'm going to call it, um he deserves every single bit of credit because something's happened from the end of November to the beginning of December where we've gone on this massive run where the mentality of Eddie, coach and staff players has completely changed.
00:08:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We found a massive gel with the midfield three, obviously, but we know we were struggled with that for a little bit to have Bruno and Sandron at the same time.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And it's all of a sudden just clicked and they look like a bunch of players and a squad that have been playing together for about 10 years.
00:08:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:08:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
ye
00:08:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And it's just really nice to see. And it's really nice to see a group of players just enjoy and playing together. I
Newcastle's Winning Streak and Unity
00:09:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
mean, you see on teams all the time, like some teams, Man United, for example, um you know you know, sometimes you watch them string a couple of passes together and you think, do you guys train together five days a week or not?
00:09:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Whereas you're looking at us and, you know, where we're smashing it.
00:09:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And that comes down to, like you say, Eddie's commitment.
00:09:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um He's so committed to his job.
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's committed to the game. He loves the game. um so And you can see that. Obviously, I'm not saying manager other managers don't, but I know you just feel special that art is permitted.
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, absolutely. Look, it's paying dividends for us at the minute. We're enjoying what is a massive ride at the minute. It is ra it is the roller coaster I've been to Newcastle.
00:09:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:09:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've always said that in terms of being a Toon fan, isn't it?
00:09:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Of course it is.
00:09:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a massive roller coaster ride. We're on the high right now. Let us be. And that's kind of what I joked about with the guy at work.
00:09:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was just like, look, leave off, man. I'm not, you know, all jokes aside, I don't actually think that's it. We're going to be world beaters and we'll never, ever be beaten again. Just let us enjoy the moment.
00:09:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, of course.
00:09:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, come on.
00:09:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Let us ride it, yep.
00:09:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Yeah, exactly that. But, you know, we know we've got a special bunch of players and they know they're special, but they are, in the words of Holland, staying humble right now.
00:10:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
hundred percent um
00:10:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
and they're just doing their job, they're letting us fans get all hyper and doing in the whole, we're gonna do 40 in a row, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, we're gonna have the treble, we're gonna, you know what I mean, we're gonna lose our minds on stuff, we're gonna put bets on that, might never ever come in, but you know, it's great.
00:10:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
job.
00:10:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
But what's great is us fans are doing that, and then the players are the ones that, the important part, keeping their heads right, getting the wins, plowing on, doing exactly what Eddie tells them to do one game at a time unlike us who are like predicting the entire rest of the season because Eddie would never do that because he'd be like no way calm yourselves down literally exactly that and i'll be honest the world's game as such was easier quote than any of us thought it was going to be i did think that it would be tougher because it's
00:10:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah, 100%. Taken away. 100%. Absolutely not. It'd be like one game at a time, people. Let's get them on. Let's see what to things are. Hilarious.
00:10:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:10:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know at the end of the day they have got some decent players and they can play some decent football and they're certainly not, to me if you look at the team, relegation fodder like some of the other teams are if you look at them, so it's a bit weird to see them so far down there um and now still down there but sometimes it looks like they've got no hope and they're not, and it baffles me wolves I'll be honest, that's it's a strange one.
00:10:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah.
00:11:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
They're down because they're down um and it's a shame because i I quite like wolves as a team um and it is a shame to see them down there because they're not of that caliber to me.
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah the
00:11:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Like you say, like there's definitely, you know, worst performance teams in the league.
00:11:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, and that's the thing with a relegation sort of, especially at this point of the season where we're now going to the second half of it, you never know when you go and face a relegation side, you're not sure what you're going to get because these teams are fighting.
00:11:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
True.
00:11:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So, um, yeah, so it was a shame, but, um, you know, we still won and that's what I want to see.
00:11:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
True.
00:11:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's all that matters, right?
00:11:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So tick.

00:12:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cool. um We'll talk a bit more about the Wolves game as a whole, but I just kind of needed to throw out some stats on Iza, because as much as we've just been praising him, it is kind of unreal, is kind of stats so far this season.
00:12:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's now 19 games, so we're talking Premier League obviously, 18 goal contributions, 14 goals, 4 assists.
00:12:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:12:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's had 17 goals, I know, goals assists in these last 16 games on Newcastle.
00:12:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
go
00:12:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, the guy is just He's on fire, you know what I mean? He just literally, there's no stopping him.
00:12:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's smashing it.
00:12:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it must be scary playing against him, mustn't it? Like, imagine defenses having him.
00:13:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah.
00:13:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Either running at him, running at them, dancing around them, cutting him behind. The guy has it all. when it You know, when he's on form, which he obviously is, he's got it all, hasn't he? um And um I know I'll hold my hands up, by the way, because I was the whole...
00:13:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I see this still about a lot of players. Oh, he's not world-class, but I said Holland wasn't world-class, and I'll hold him. opinion on that one by the way um but it is a funny one because world class is still ah something that there's not many world class players in the world that's so bizarre to say that but you know what i mean by that um and i'm talking about the history of players by the way here i'm not just talking about players right now but he's an absolute superstar if you want to break it down like that isn't he and he's just at the top of his game right now it's as simple as that
00:13:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hmm. I agree with that opinion.
00:13:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, there's not. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. He. He's absolutely at the top of his game, he's probably hit a pivotal time of form as well um in regards to our season campaign.
00:13:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um would have liked to see this sort of form at the beginning this season like but I'm still taking it we're doing with smashing it um yeah he is he's just not human is he he's not human he's just a robot but he's absolutely unstoppable I'm not really too too too sure what else we can say about him other than you know he is world class at world class sometimes I feel a bit extreme saying that because obviously you talk about the world here and there's a lot of
00:13:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:13:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's alright. It doesn't look like it at the minute.
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's performing at a world-class level now is what I'll say.
00:14:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's performing at a world-class level.
00:14:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll do it that way, yeah?
00:14:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Let's do it that way. He's performing at a world-class level. And, you know, a couple of, well, ages ago now, Kev pointed the question to me and you, what makes a world-class player?
00:14:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We're looking at it. We are looking at it.
00:14:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:14:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
This.
00:14:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Because he is, yeah, it's consistent.
00:14:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
This was consistency is what I would say, yeah? And we said it back then, didn't we?
00:14:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's a team player.
00:14:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He, you know, he bails people out in the worst of moments. He's unselfish, like we've seen last night, completely unselfish.
00:14:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We've, you know, scrown off to Anthony Gordon. scores goals, a sit in the right place at the right time, all over the pitch, you know, he's a consistent, consistent player.
00:14:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely.
00:14:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:14:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And he is on the path, if not already there, like you say, to be a world-class player.
00:14:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:14:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And if this is going to be a bit of a shell and, you know, I don't want to, you know, speak anything to existence or like jinx anything, but he has got to be one of the best players we've seen in a Newcastle shirt shortly.
00:15:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll go to you.
00:15:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
got to be. He is in the he he's up there now.
00:15:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:15:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it's been a long time since we've had a striker like him, because over the years we've had some good strikers, don't get us wrong.
00:15:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah hundred um
00:15:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I think we've, we've been lacking in a consistent number nine. Um, Wilson had the potential to be that.
00:15:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah open yeah And if you're someone like Wilson now, you're looking at that.
00:15:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's just obviously due to all his injuries. He hasn't been able to be that for us. Um, he's like, this is kind of him.
00:15:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And, you know, and I'm so sorry for Wilson, because I'm sure his mentality is probably the worst, not mentality.
00:15:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Well, yeah, his mental wellbeing probably is the worst it's probably been because he's up and down with injury.
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He'll be the one feeling that we're frustrated, but he's ultimately going to be the one that's feeling the most.
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so And he is now looking at someone like Alexander Esak who plays in his position.
00:15:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Him.
00:15:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's thinking, well, there's no way I'm getting him before him. Um, ah so it's one of them, you know, great player for us on his day, Callum Wilson, but he's just too injury prone.
00:15:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
No. No.
00:16:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's just, just too injury prone.
00:16:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. It's a shame.
00:16:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's a shame, such a shame because he's amazing.
00:16:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a massive shame it is.
00:16:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:16:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I know. But Isaac really is. I mean, what we've said a million times, he's pretty much like the complete number nine, isn't he really? He can score little tap-ins, he can score absolute blinders, he cuts him behind like you've just said they, so it can be really unselfish.
00:16:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:16:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:16:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
he could have tried to go for his hat trick there it's probably the wise idea because from that angle i don't believe he probably got to got it but you never know with his skill set he might have got it but he didn't he took the opportunity to give it to gordon who was wide open i say wide open but you know what i mean for gordon he was he pretty much slotted him with style as well so just all well taken goals but even his first one i know it was a massive deflection but the run he made
00:16:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep. Get off. I didn't.
00:16:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hope you don't know. Yeah.
00:16:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, fine.
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
From the like he'd already cut back and then he took it out on the wing and like cut back himself inside To then take the shot anyway and all right.
00:16:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I
00:16:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, I took a massive deflection But then I saw on interviews, but he reckoned it was gonna be going in anyway, which I love that um Absolutely, and then I saw this interview about um sorry from Eddie about Isaac and just saying how hard a worker he is because this is some stuff that you don't know unless managers tell you about how he wants to stay behind after the end of training.
00:16:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
love that component.
00:17:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, of course.
00:17:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
and um He wants to just work on extra things that you want to work on his head and so he has scored with his head not very often but that's something that he's working on because all of the other things are like more common naturally to him.
00:17:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But then he was saying that he didn't really want him to keep staying behind the trainings. He was like, I don't want him to burn out.
00:17:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've died, yeah, exactly.
00:17:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So he says, that that's my job to manage it, isn't it? So yeah, so um but like, it's great to hear that commitment, isn't it?
00:17:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
100%. It's nice to see. Yeah, exactly.
00:17:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, to hear that he really kind of wants it and he wants to improve himself. And while he's ours, that means he's improved himself for us. It's a simple thought, isn't it?
Tenali's Influence and Team Dynamics
00:17:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think, because obviously we're going to have to split this pot into a bit of a um review obviously of Wolves and a bit of a preview of Bournemouth, I think what I'll cut to now before we do the last pot is your man of the match, maybe why they're the man of the match, and is there anyone else you'd like to shout out alongside that, so go for it.
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who are you going to give your man of the match to?
00:18:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, mate. Well, it's going to come as no surprise, because I mention him every single podcast.
00:18:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go for it.
00:18:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've actually got probably two players, but I want to shout out three. um So Sandra Tenali would be my player in the match, I'm afraid.
00:18:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
so
00:18:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Although Isak got, you know, eight obviously we just separate we just spoke for 10 minutes on Alexander Isak. Tenali would have been mine. I cannot praise this man enough.
00:18:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um ah I actually really love him. I think he was absolutely sensational. um He i ran from start to, might not have done a lot on the ball, et cetera, et cetera, but he was in the right place at the right time.
00:18:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He started, you know, he ran from, he ran the show from start to finish and then he was still going strong in the 98th minute.
00:18:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Mm hmm.
00:18:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So he would have been mine, unreal. there's no surprise, obviously, get a special shout out. Sven Botman would have also been mine.
00:18:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on, girl.
00:18:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Again, You would never, ever think that Svem Botman has just come back from an ACL injury.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, been out for so long.
00:19:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Never. Been out for so long.
00:19:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just, it's crazy, isn't it?
00:19:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
What were we talking? 10, 11 months?
00:19:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
10 months or so, yeah.
00:19:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And he had slotted back in, um like he's never been away. Yes, okay. The first game he came back, we did mention how he was a little bit um all over the place. That was to be expected, but he's come in, done his job, solidly.
00:19:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's an absolute brick wall at the back. um And I just thought it was an absolute solid performance from him as well.
00:19:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And the other one, um who's pretty much gonna be my player this season, I think, Dan Byrne.
00:19:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
There's not anything else I can say about him. He, and I cannot believe I'm about to say this, but I feel like he's just hit hitting the pit peak of his career, which is mad to say because it is peak burn.
00:19:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, this is peak burn, 100%. It is, yeah.
00:19:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, they would have been my three special shout outs because I think they didn't get spoken, they probably did, but I probably haven't seen it, but they didn't get spoken about enough yesterday for my liking.
00:19:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hang on, you're a and you're right about especially burn.
00:19:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So yeah, them three.
00:20:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:20:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it gets overlooked a lot.
00:20:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hmm.
00:20:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
less so now people are kind of clicking on to this and the media etc are clicking on to how important he is for us um but I had given Tenali as the man of the match for me as well the fact that he's just made that position his own which now gives Bruno so much more freedom as well so it's allowed Bruno to improve the season because again he did have alongside a lot of the people a bit of a slow start for how we know he can play as such the whole captaincy thing was being questioned as to oh well should he really be
00:20:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah.
00:20:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Lovely.
00:20:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:20:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hmm. 100%.
00:20:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
he's you know it's it's it's made him a worse player all this but i think it's actually because tonali's now sitting in that position Bruno does have a bit more freedom it is giving him that kind of not confidence but it i don't know it's giving him more freedom to be a better captain isn't there some more freedom all around so not just in his play but actually to be a captain herself but
00:20:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah.
00:20:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
More to freedom, yeah.
00:20:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
to gnarly's technical ability man is just outstanding when you watch it match in match out and that boy can last that boy has stamina so like like you said there he was still going in the 90th minute he really was like the way yeah so don't you mean yeah yeah
00:20:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, Oh, look at it.
00:21:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
crazy. Yeah. He's another player that I feel like is going to be on the, not quite yet, but is going to be on the sort of the world-class tunnel. I think he's, um he's well on the way to being, and oh honestly, I love watching him.
00:21:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I could watch him for hours. He, you know, when we first signed him, I remember thinking, I've not really heard a lot about this boy. And then he, you know, we've seen a few games and I thought, okay, yeah, he's actually pretty impressive.
00:21:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:21:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Then he got banned.
00:21:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And I was like, who have we signed here? Is he going to be, I don't know, What is going on?
00:21:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's happening here?
00:21:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
What is happening? And then obviously got banned, which is obviously really unfortunate. Um, so yeah, that's that.
00:21:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:21:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And then he's come back and my God, you wouldn't even think he's been away. Um, yeah, he, I just think, yeah, just a special, special, another special player in a Newcastle shirt.
00:21:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, not at all.
00:21:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is.
00:21:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And it's nice to see, like you say, Bruno has now obviously got the confidence to, you know, go up the pitch. He's obviously got confidence in Tenali and it's just, just a player that I feel like went under the radar a bit yesterday.
00:21:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Maybe not. Maybe I just haven't seen it, but I just, yeah, I love him so much.
00:22:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I know.
00:22:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
<unk> my
00:22:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
But again, I think it might become an expectancy thing, a bit like with Bruno, and because Bruno does deserve the praise he gets, but he has got the point with some people that, well, oh, well, Bruno's mint, he should be mint.
00:22:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Oh, 100%.
00:22:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not really how it works, you know what I mean?
00:22:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Not really.
00:22:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
so um And I think Tenali will start getting spoken about a bit like that, because it will become an expectation that he
00:22:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
Bournemouth Game Preview
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
is a great player.
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
He should just be great all the time. um But yeah, I mean, there's so many things we could probably say about him, but it's understandable now as to how much the Italians raved about him and why he was immediately back in the Italian squad and playing the full 90 minutes.
00:22:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
100%. Mm-hmm.
00:22:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Before he was playing 90 minutes for us, must much to our frustration. um But, going back, we'll give how he's due, he knew what he was doing, he was edging him in, he was kind of making that work, like we talked about the old Bruno Tonali thing.
00:22:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I know, yeah.
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
it wasn't working at first but it it was working in the background you see that's why Eddie that's why he's the boss and that's why we're not and this is why it's only ever our opinion and in the end it doesn't matter um because we know nothing we just
00:22:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:22:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, because we know nothing.
00:23:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We know nada.
00:23:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, brilliant.
00:23:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
but we like to talk about it anyway, right?
00:23:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's good, it's good. um Right, cool. I think we'll wrap up balls there, because like I say, we'll have got a little bit to touch on we're born with, because there's no more pods before the 1230 kickoff on Saturday, back at home where we expect, obviously, to hit our double figures of 10 out of 10.
00:23:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Goof.
00:23:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Come on.
00:23:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh Hyped it up already. um So yeah, I'll, when I find out, because I'm losing my way now, I'm going to read out the, yeah, go on, because I'm all over the place now.
00:23:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've got it, do you want me to do it? Yeah.
00:23:34
Global Sports Podcast Network

00:24:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Here all week.
00:24:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're all weak. You can get paid extra for that one. um Right, okay.
00:24:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Absolutely.
00:24:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cool. So, on to Vormoth. I think what we'll do is just a little bit of a chat about it, how we feel about it going anywhere. um Is there anyone we're scared of? And what's your predictions?
00:24:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah?
00:24:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Lovely jobby.
00:24:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sounds good.
00:24:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Let's do it.
00:24:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Happy days.
00:24:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Happy days.
00:24:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So on that, yeah, I personally, but all right, I personally feel pretty much how I did going into wolves.
00:24:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I suppose better talk about it.
00:24:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know we're all hyped up after the three nil wolves win, but like we said before, we weren't as confident about it. We were confident it will win, but not as confident. And I do feel that way about Bournemouth as well. Bournemouth are doing a lot better than wolves.
00:24:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
They aren't exactly religations fodder, like I say, with wolves. However, Yeah, I still think they're very similar teams in that sense. They can be dangerous when they want to be. They've had some decent runs.
00:24:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Their last game was 2-2 v Chelsea. um So again, and that was a way. So that was kind of a kind of a big result for them as well, wasn't it?
00:25:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and um
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Looking at their team, I've got to be honest, I wouldn't say there's anyone, maybe some minyaw would probably be my, yeah, I'm trying to really think of like,
00:25:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's who I was going to mention. Yeah.
00:25:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
someone that I'm overly scared of, i'm but again it was with wolves, I wasn't overly scared of, I was just trying to think of players that I think would make a good impact for them.
00:25:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't think there's anyone in the Bournemouth team that I massively, so watch me say that and then they'll come out fighting, but there's no one really other than, yeah, there's no one really other than Semenyo.
00:25:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know, but we're just being honest here.
00:25:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Is that how you pronounce it? Oh God, my pronunciation's awful.
00:25:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Semenyo, yeah?
00:25:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, yeah, so menu, then I'm really worried about, cause he seems to be on the score sheet quite a lot.
00:25:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's how we're saying it.
00:25:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, and yeah, that's probably the only player that could potentially cause us some issues.
00:25:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mhmm.
00:25:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
However, I'm not, it's not a team. I mean, you should be worried about every team, you know, like i Eddie says, you're focused on the game that's in front of you and that's, that's what you're thinking, but it's not a team that I'm overly ah threatened by.
00:25:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Maybe it's probably the right word to say. Um, you know, Bournemouth, I have probably a decent season, much better than wolves, like you say, and probably. a bit better than what they have done in the past couple of seasons.
00:26:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But we're Newcastle.
00:26:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's
00:26:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Look at us. We're flying. um We shouldn't be going out there worried about it.
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
true.
00:26:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We should go out there and start hard like we normally do um and not not you know maybe not start like the World Game did.
00:26:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:26:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But yeah, um and there's not anyone really that I'm massively threatened by.
00:26:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah shit
00:26:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And that's not really an insult to Bournemouth and before any Bournemouth fans start coming for us.
00:26:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
No?
00:26:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's not an insult to them or their team. It's just the fact that I just think we've got a better team than them. And I don't think there's anything we can't really handle. So yeah, that's my take on that one.
00:26:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. I think any honest Bournemouth fan would say they're worried about playing us, surely.
00:26:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, surely.
00:26:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've said it before, come on, we've said it about other teams, if you're honest, you're gonna play a team that's especially on form, we've said it before, so any honest fan's gonna look at our team and think, oh crap, like,
00:26:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Come on. Yeah.
00:26:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
look at who they've got kind of coming at us our front three our midfield three the strength of the back um our full backs it's so many positives coming out in new castle at the minute it's just going to be worrying it's as simple as that um they're going to take the game but us it's they have to and i honestly believe it will probably start a bit like wolves they will come at us and i joked with donna understands i was like look well weather's a storm from wolves throughout five ten minutes and we hit them and i think it might just be the same sort of thing we'll hold it strong at the back which i strongly believe we can
00:27:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah.
00:27:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah
00:27:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
what happened.
00:27:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Us fans can get a bit high books. Like I say, I think Eddie's got them right in the right mindset right now and They're very level-headed. They are just taking one game at a time They're playing their game and it goes back to exactly what we've just been saying if we play our game like we have in the last nine wins We're gonna we could beat them.
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
We should beat them.
00:27:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We can.
00:27:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will beat them simple as that. Okay, it's it's on us.
00:27:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Obviously, this has been a... Yeah, this, I mean, I don't think Eddie's beaten Bournemouth whilst he's been at Newcastle, right? Am I right in saying that?
00:27:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but let's forget about records because we're setting holy records right now.
00:27:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah That's what I'm, but what I'm saying is, this is what I'm saying. This has been the season where we're breaking history books, man. So, um, it's, Saturday's the day.
00:28:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, we are.
00:28:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's going to do it. And we're at home. What more could you want?
00:28:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm sure we're at home, right?
00:28:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are.
00:28:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Are we at home?
00:28:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's 1230 kickoff.
00:28:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Remember but what you like.
00:28:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but Sorry. Um, I'm excited. Um, yeah, so I think, I think he'll do it. I think we'll do it. Um,
00:28:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We've just got to, we've just got too much of a stronger team to not be able to do it, if that makes sense. But yeah, let's, let's go out there.
00:28:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Like I say, pressure's on us. it's but I say pressure, it's not real pressure, but you know what I mean? It is all on us.
00:28:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh,
00:28:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
We go out there, we play our game, we'll win. It is as simple as that.
00:28:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and and
00:28:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
We don't go out there, we don't play our game, that's when Bournemouth can take it, because it's not they're not a team that can't win games, so it's not like we're going to be totally insulting here, you know what I mean?
00:28:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
absolutely
00:28:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah a hundred percent. Yeah.
00:28:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
But that's where it's on us to just do our job.
00:28:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:28:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
and we'll win. It's as simple as that.
00:28:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
A hundred percent.
00:28:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, because we've blatantly just simplified the win over Bournemouth, it's just so straightforward these days, isn't it?
00:28:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Absolutely.
00:28:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Always.
00:28:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Have you thought about what you think the score might be, or should we pretend to know what the boys might pick?
00:29:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Let's go with the boys first.
00:29:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
We know what Ian's going to pick, right? So what's Ian going to pick, Nick? What do you reckon Ian'll go for?
00:29:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I think he might go something different. I think he'll go a 3-1.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, do you Do you reckon you'll actually put a bet on as well and lose, which means it won't be 3-1?
00:29:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I think he might be a 3-1. He hasn't put a 3-1 better on in weeks. and Every time it happens, he's like, God's sake.
00:29:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
He put a 3-1 bet on against wolves.
00:29:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:29:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and then God got us allowed.
00:29:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
I asked him in the strawberry afterwards.
00:29:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, damn.
00:29:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
And my dad even said he was like, I think he was the only person in that because my dad was sitting with him. He was like, I think he's the only person in that stadium that wanted them to win.
00:29:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Disappointed.
00:29:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like out of the Newcastle fans, I mean, that wanted them to score, especially when they had scored and then it was obviously given a handball.
00:29:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That is brilliant.
00:29:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, he's going for a 3-1, 100%.
00:29:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant stuff, man. Of course he is.
00:29:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Kev is to be more reserved and go for a 2-0, I think.
00:29:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do you reckon, and Kev?
00:29:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
You reckon?
00:29:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. um And I'm not sure what Michael will go for. What do you think?
00:29:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michael went for a 4-1 v-wolf so Michael's being a real dark horse at the minute. Michael is confusing me.
00:30:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Ooh. Yeah.
00:30:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm just gonna leave it at that.
00:30:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Has he been listening to this yet?
00:30:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
But fair play to him because he's on a total positive trip.
00:30:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:30:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
The two are on a positive trip so it's all bouncing together nicely. So shall we say I think Michael's gonna go for a back-to-back 4-1 win again he yeah because he wanted the 4-1 last time.
00:30:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah yeah
00:30:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
He didn't get it. I reckon he's gonna push for it this time.
00:30:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
i think so yeah i think he's gonna go for that yeah go go for that one right now it's me and you yeah i was gonna go three nil again i was gonna think i think it's gonna be a three niller oh sorry oh we can have the same be different yeah yeah let's be different to kev boring
00:30:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
You reckon? yeah right so what we got two nil three one four go on i'll let you go then right oh i like that well i was gonna pick two nil but you've already allocated a keV so it's all right i know just like i picked different ones just we've got a list of different scores
00:30:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
for um
00:30:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah yeah absolutely but that's that's doable we know it's doable absolutely it's doable with our team let's do it yeah right lovely four nil love that love it
00:30:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I'm gonna have to go all out then because I've decided I don't want them to score because obviously I'm in full control of that as well. um So I'm gonna go 4-0.
00:31:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Of course it's, well yeah it's doable. Yeah, yeah, right. Love it, look at that.
