  Come on. Come on, Spencer.
• 0:01
  You've got this. Try to play.
• 0:03
  I don't know if I have, but give me one more second.
• 0:05
  Come on. It is so true.
• 0:07
  When you pose this, everything disappeared and I've just got
• 0:09
  like nursery rhymes going on in my head.
• 0:11
  I like him. I mean, he's a good player, He's
• 0:14
  rapid, but my only concern is, but I think he's been injured
• 0:17
  quite a lot in the last couple of seasons.
• 0:19
  So that's my only concern. I think from a player
• 0:21
  perspective, he's quality, but you just want someone who's
• 0:25
  going to be available for a full season, which none of our
• 0:28
  sensebacks other than our young ones seem to be doing.
• 0:30
  How are your fellow Reds? And welcome to this Manchester
• 0:33
  United preview of the upcoming match against Brentford on

  8 hours in advance. We're just a place to be.
• 0:57
  So do it now. Subscribe, come and join us so
• 1:01
  you don't don't miss a thing. But Jazz is cracking the flags
• 1:05
  here. I've got shorts and T-shirt on.
• 1:07
  Perfect podcast weather. I'm guessing it's raining in
• 1:10
  Scotland. It's not, it's perfect blue
• 1:12
  skies as well. What 18°?
• 1:18
  Superb. And we're stuck inside recording
• 1:20
  this. What are we doing?
• 1:22
  Yeah, exactly should do Alfresco style.
• 1:26
  I know. But yeah, let's get into it.
• 1:29
  We're back and some stuff already been going on as well.
• 1:32
  So let's get into that straight away.
• 1:34
  We called it early. Rosenia, AKA David Brent, as you
• 1:38
  call him, is no more. He's gone Fired.
• 1:41
  Yeah, not my lost five in a row. Didn't even score a goal in five
• 1:46
  either. It's like it's no surprises that
• 1:48
  you can't, especially at a club like Chelsea, you can't have
• 1:51
  those sorts of results and expect to keep your job.
• 1:54
  But I think, I don't know if you saw the Chelsea statement at the
• 1:57
  end, they kind of said they're going to reflect themselves,
• 1:59
  which kind of make, I think that's them subtly saying we
• 2:02
  made a mistake in hiring Brent because he just wasn't ever
• 2:07
  going to be. I think they kind of hoped that
• 2:10
  they've it'd be like a pet guardian thing coming from the
• 2:12
  system, Barcelona B to thingy and so on and like that.
• 2:15
  He's come from what they call the Blue Group or Blue Coat
• 2:18
  Group or whatever it's called from Strasbourg.
• 2:20
  And yeah, it's just failed miserably.
• 2:23
  And it's even worse how it's now because he's such a kind of odd
• 2:28
  bloke and he's like trying to, he's very, he's very
• 2:31
  performative and, and kind of tries to be very philosophical.
• 2:34
  And I think I just made things even worse.
• 2:36
  And when it did go wrong recently, it's just, yeah, like
• 2:40
  Francine, I mean, quickly, I think players turned on him
• 2:42
  quite a few weeks ago because that squad has got some good
• 2:48
  players in it and it's a big squad.
• 2:51
  So if you did have the right manager, I don't think they'd be
• 2:53
  scrambling around in, what is it now, 8.
• 2:56
  So yeah, I think they had to do it.
• 2:58
  And they got, I think they basically, well, maybe to get to
• 3:01
  Europe they have to win the FA Cup now because they are like
• 3:04
  dropping like a stone at the moment.
• 3:06
  So maybe they're just like, well, if we get to the FA Cup
• 3:08
  final, get someone in to take over that and then we can at
• 3:11
  least build off the back of that and get Europa League.
• 3:15
  Yeah, I'm not surprised by it at all.
• 3:17
  And we called it early. I think what I am thinking and
• 3:21
  kind of Henry touched on it as well on the last pod.
• 3:23
  It's just Chelsea, you're in a mess because fair enough, you
• 3:26
  can make mistakes, but this feels like a repeat offense.
• 3:29
  And I think what's even worse is they literally had him, as you
• 3:32
  said, in blue color Strasbourg. And then when they appointed
• 3:35
  him, he gave all this chat of like, we've seen him at work.
• 3:38
  We know what he's like in the good times, in the bad times.
• 3:41
  We know what he's like in front of camera.
• 3:43
  Like we're super excited about him.
• 3:44
  We did give him this like, you know, big deal and big
• 3:46
  opportunity. And then is it 100 days he's
• 3:50
  gone? 100 yeah.
• 3:51
  Oh, so yeah, 66 year contract was it or seven-year contract or
• 3:55
  something like which is insane. I guess they do, they also do it
• 3:57
  because of the monetization thing.
• 3:59
  But yeah, like it's madness. Like like Guardiano is not
• 4:05
  getting six year contracts. Like why is he getting it?
• 4:07
  And it's not like it's a small one.
• 4:09
  I think his payouts like 26 million or something crazy like
• 4:11
  that. I wish I could get fired and get
• 4:13
  paid 26,000,000. Yes, please.
• 4:17
  I'd say a lot of David Brent stuff to.
• 4:19
  Yeah, exactly that. Would be definite, yeah.
• 4:23
  Mad one that he's gone. I say we're not super surprised,
• 4:28
  but Chelsea at a mess and so yeah, we'll see kind of what
• 4:31
  happens there. I think they put Callum, Mrs.
• 4:34
  McFarlane in for the rent. Yeah.
• 4:36
  I think he was the one who stepped in before under 21
• 4:40
  coach. I think he is.
• 4:41
  So I guess they just there's no point putting in like an interim
• 4:45
  now. They just need someone who knows
• 4:48
  the club and they basically just needed a fresh pace, yeah, to
• 4:53
  come in and just mix stuff up. And I've seen it probably like
• 4:55
  that kind of one way, like no real tactical changes.
• 4:59
  Just go out and play, motivate them to style thing I imagine,
• 5:03
  and just try and get them playing better with more
• 5:06
  confidence because they obviously bring the tile in
• 5:08
  particularly see that goes Brighton.
• 5:09
  Those couldn't be asked, basically.
• 5:12
  Shocking, shocking. But yeah, that's Chelsea.
• 5:15
  And then all the news. Man City are now top of the
• 5:19
  Fahig. No dropping into second.
• 5:23
  Mad like you showed me that you sent me out a start and I saw it
• 5:27
  earlier as well. Like they've been top like 500
• 5:30
  days in the last like 4 years isn't like that and 0 trophies.
• 5:34
  And I think this is the it's the first or second day.
• 5:39
  City have been topped the whole season, Liverpool being topped
• 5:42
  for a day, Chelsea were topped for a day and then Arsenal
• 5:44
  always have been topped the whole time.
• 5:46
  And it's just such obvious. This still could be twists and
• 5:51
  turns, but on the face of it, at the moment it's a monumental
• 5:54
  bottle. Job isn't.
• 5:57
  It it's brilliant, I'm not going to lie, as you mentioned.
• 5:59
  So our Teter, since our Teter did appointed Arsenal have been
• 6:03
  at the top league for 539 days, Man City 453 days, City four
• 6:10
  titles, Arsenal 0. Not.
• 6:17
  That is, yeah, that is, that is something.
• 6:19
  But like I say, we don't know how it's going to end.
• 6:21
  But it doesn't look great for Arsenal for even to see them
• 6:25
  drop into drop into second. It's big, isn't it?
• 6:29
  I always think they're obviously they got, they only beat Burnley
• 6:31
  one nil. I always think that's almost
• 6:35
  more demoralizing. A city had lots of chances and
• 6:39
  it should have scored more, but like if they went off and won
• 6:41
  like 5 nil, they're just like, oh, whatever, because it's kind
• 6:44
  of like a one nil kind of tight that maybe Burnley could have
• 6:46
  nicked one that I reckon that's almost more demoralizing for for
• 6:50
  the Arsenal fans. And I think Arsenal got
• 6:53
  obviously a tough gain against Newcastle this weekend as well.
• 6:56
  So yeah, I could see, I could see a slip up there as well.
• 7:01
  Yeah, we'll come on to those juicy games in a minute for
• 7:05
  sure. And then the other end of the
• 7:07
  table. Wolves unbearably confirmed,
• 7:10
  relegated. Yeah, they've been confirmed
• 7:13
  mentally for months. Let's be honest.
• 7:16
  Like I think Wolves were on track before they brought in
• 7:19
  what's his face to be the worst team ever been.
• 7:23
  Obviously they picked up some results, got the draw against
• 7:27
  Arsenal and they beat Liverpool and Drew reverse etcetera.
• 7:30
  So not so horrendous as it was looking at one point, but I
• 7:34
  think they were always going to struggle.
• 7:38
  Yeah, I agreed, I agreed and then another one.
• 7:41
  A better start when I see your Unihorn and obviously ex Premier
• 7:45
  League champions Leicester relegated to League One.
• 7:48
  I. Know yeah, like the drop off
• 7:51
  there is is is crazy like I've seen I haven't read a huge
• 7:56
  amount about it, but I see there's like like fan protests
• 8:00
  against the ownership and things like that.
• 8:01
  And I used to love the owner, but obviously the owner, the
• 8:03
  actual owner died in that helicopter crash.
• 8:06
  And I don't know if his family members who've taken over, but
• 8:09
  maybe they don't have the same sort of passion or care for the
• 8:11
  club that he did and maybe that's part of it.
• 8:13
  I don't know. But yes, it's, it's kind of sad
• 8:17
  to see these, these fairy tales kind of turn into a nightmare.
• 8:20
  Sad. To see, sad to see, but happened
• 8:22
  right? And it's not it's not the first
• 8:23
  time, but hopefully they can they can bounce back.
• 8:26
  But Jazz, we're here to talk about United.
• 8:29
  You're soldiering through with a bit of a cough, but I see
• 8:33
  excited for Monday and United being back.
• 8:35
  So Monday night, 8:00 PM in the UK, it's at Old Trafford.
• 8:39
  I'm going to be there. So hopefully bring a little bit
• 8:42
  of live content in and around the match as well.
• 8:46
  For those watching in the UK, it's live on TNT Sports I
• 8:48
  believe, actually on Monday, and which is a random one, but
• 8:52
  that's what my Googling told me anyway, so hopefully that's
• 8:55
  true. Before we get into United, let's
• 8:58
  talk about Bradford. Keith Andrews, to be fair, doing
• 9:01
  a job there, isn't he? Yeah, really good.
• 9:03
  Like I think quite a lot of people have them favorites, not
• 9:07
  favorites, but in the mix to be going down with obviously
• 9:10
  losing. I was losing and Bwermo, what's
• 9:15
  his face in the field? He went to Arsenal.
• 9:17
  No God. So he lost a lot of their key
• 9:21
  players from last season. So I think everyone kind of what
• 9:25
  they were on their way down and that play they've done really
• 9:28
  well and they keep their they want a bit like Brighton, a bit
• 9:31
  like Bournemouth. They keep to seem to unearth
• 9:32
  these these players and these like, OK, you've lost your two
• 9:37
  strikers who can I don't know how many goals between they got
• 9:39
  last year at least like 30 odd. And then they bring in he got
• 9:43
  Tiago and he's absolutely smashing it.
• 9:45
  And now he's been linked with us and everyone.
• 9:47
  It's like there must be enough. I can't say let's have at least
• 9:49
  for two seasons, but yeah, he's done a really good job.
• 9:52
  Like they they normally do a number number on us and I think
• 9:56
  they are where are they? They are knife in the table, but
• 10:00
  I think 12 to 6 is really tight. So they can still they've got
• 10:05
  they've still got something to fight for, which is not ideal
• 10:07
  for us. They're not like normally when
• 10:09
  you get to this side of the season, you have kind of these
• 10:12
  mid table obscurity teams who can't really get to Europe and
• 10:14
  they're not going to get relegated.
• 10:16
  But this season, if you're from like 8 down to 14th, you
• 10:20
  probably still got a chance of pushing to Europe if you get a
• 10:22
  run together. And I think they definitely fall
• 10:24
  in that category. Yeah.
• 10:26
  So yeah, he's done a really good job and they've got some some
• 10:28
  really good players. Yeah, Can we hire some of these
• 10:32
  scouts and things like that, please?
• 10:33
  Because I'm sick. I'm sick of these clubs finding
• 10:36
  these players and then having to pay big for it when we should
• 10:39
  have this massive network finding these.
• 10:42
  Like we say all the time, I don't want to stand it, but fair
• 10:44
  play, doing a doing a great job and.
• 10:46
  Yeah, I think maybe. Any off time.
• 10:50
  So I was going to say, I think maybe any of us looking at this
• 10:52
  a bit more like if you look at lemons, you look at doggy, like
• 10:57
  2 decent players we've unearthed which aren't like breaking the
• 11:01
  bank. And maybe that's the kind of
• 11:03
  signings we'll be looking at. Maybe not.
• 11:05
  They're not like the marquee signings, but the ones which
• 11:07
  bolster the squad and they might turn out to be future starters.
• 11:10
  And then maybe is kind of competing with some of the the
• 11:14
  Brightons and their their brim fits and some of these players
• 11:16
  say, I think it may be the NRS model is looking a bit more like
• 11:19
  that. We'll see in the next few years
• 11:21
  I guess. Yes.
• 11:23
  Please more Lemon's type signings, please.
• 11:26
  That would be fantastic. But yeah, also last time we
• 11:31
  played them we got beat 31. So I don't know if you remember,
• 11:33
  but it was those see I go to early on, then Cesco pull him on
• 11:37
  back and then yes. And got the 96 minutes to
• 11:40
  confirm the confirm. Yeah, yeah, tricky, tricky
• 11:45
  customer. And as and as you said, ninth in
• 11:48
  the table. But actually, you know, the same
• 11:50
  points as Chelsea. And with a win which we hope
• 11:53
  they don't get, they could go 6. Yeah.
• 11:58
  So yeah, tricky customer and also I think their last three
• 12:02
  games as well draw specialist. You were mentioning it just
• 12:06
  before we we got on here. Similar story with Bournemouth
• 12:09
  and sheepishly you know that didn't go too well, but they
• 12:12
  just seem to be salvage in a point them.
• 12:14
  So they didn't nil, nil at home to Fulham, 2 to our own to
• 12:17
  Everton and nil, nil away to Leeds before that, yeah.
• 12:21
  It's actually the last five games they've drawn five in a
• 12:24
  row is. That what it is.
• 12:25
  Yeah, yeah, it's five. Wow.
• 12:27
  The shows, obviously they're a hard team to beat and these
• 12:31
  aren't like as a few nil Nils in there, but they still score
• 12:34
  goals with Tiago, it seems to be like if Tiago doesn't score,
• 12:38
  they don't tend to score. He's like their main goal scorer
• 12:42
  and the ones who gets the wins. So yeah, if you're a betting
• 12:45
  person you'd probably go for a draw.
• 12:48
  Be quite a safe bet on this morning, particularly as the way
• 12:52
  the Bournemouth game went as well with the draw specialists.
• 12:56
  Definitely. So it's Tiago, y'all want to
• 12:58
  watch then? You want Yeah, he looks, he does
• 13:01
  look through a quality player, like he's strong, it's quick and
• 13:05
  obviously he's a good finisher. So there's been rumors obviously
• 13:09
  that we're interested in already.
• 13:11
  I would like to see another season to 50 million to the
• 13:15
  price tag and probably if you were to wait.
• 13:17
  But yeah, he does look really good.
• 13:19
  But yeah, he's definitely the main one to watch.
• 13:21
  He does equality. I think he's even got a chance
• 13:24
  for making the World Cup squad for Brazil because they don't
• 13:28
  really have a out and out striker option or Plan B for
• 13:32
  kind of Rodrigo and Vinicius. So he might sneak in there.
• 13:36
  I think Kuna is probably the main.
• 13:39
  I think they might start tune as a striker.
• 13:41
  We'll see, but he's definitely a decent option for them as well.
• 13:46
  Do you think you'd be up for a supporting rotational role with
• 13:49
  Cesco at United? I guess if you're whatever is
• 13:54
  second top goal scorer in the Premier League, you probably
• 13:58
  wouldn't. But then also you probably think
• 14:00
  you have the confidence to go actually, I'll just go that make
• 14:03
  that I'll be #1 So it depends what shot character he has.
• 14:08
  Because yeah, he could be like, well, I'm not going to be second
• 14:10
  fiddle, but all you go, I'm going to go there and make
• 14:12
  myself #1 Because he's obviously he's outscored Cesco a lot.
• 14:17
  So yeah, if you go in and you're told your second video, I don't
• 14:21
  think you go for that because you probably could go to another
• 14:23
  kind of top team and be like, even if you think about Arsenal,
• 14:26
  they sign Gucker as he's pretty average.
• 14:31
  So he'd probably go there and be he'd probably kind of get keep
• 14:34
  Guckers out of team, for example, or about 56 strikers.
• 14:39
  So again, Chelsea, like Joe Pedro, he's kind of a striker,
• 14:44
  not a striker. So yeah, like there's not many
• 14:47
  proper strikers out there these days, and he's definitely fits
• 14:49
  that bill. Yeah, I feel that's going to be
• 14:52
  an interesting signing for us because we still definitely need
• 14:54
  a backup striker, but it is a tricky 1 to try and get the
• 14:57
  level we want that there's someone that's going to, you
• 15:00
  know, fundamentally we have Cesco's our man, right?
• 15:03
  So they are going to have to be comfortable, you know, at least
• 15:05
  competing with him. So it's going to be an
• 15:07
  interesting one. But let's see.
• 15:10
  Back to Brentford as well as the team news.
• 15:13
  They've got a few injuries so Carval goes out still without
• 15:16
  Milan, Bo's out. Our mate joke.
• 15:19
  Jordan Henderson apparently is not too far away from a return,
• 15:23
  so it'd be I don't think we'll see him at all.
• 15:25
  Trafford. Yeah, he's rubbish.
• 15:30
  He's always. Been rubbish.
• 15:33
  How is that man getting an English God?
• 15:36
  He must be the best crack ever because he's offering nothing
• 15:39
  else. I know, yeah, like obviously
• 15:42
  we've got some Liverpool mates who wonder some about him, but
• 15:45
  he's just a distinctly average player in my opinion and he
• 15:50
  always has been. Like even when obviously they
• 15:52
  won the league with Liverpool when he was captain, it's like
• 15:55
  it's just not that good. Like it's really annoying, like
• 15:57
  how we get so many plaudits. But yeah, I just think he didn't
• 16:01
  do anything amazingly I guess. He's got a good engine on him
• 16:03
  that's probably about. It as you had that back in the
• 16:08
  day as well, but you're not getting getting on the plane.
• 16:10
  Yeah, I'm not going to lie, the Henderson stuff does does get to
• 16:13
  me because I just definitely understand it.
• 16:16
  He's got the best PR. I don't know why and
• 16:20
  particularly now, you know, maybe maybe a few years ago, but
• 16:22
  it's absolutely nonsense. So, yeah, but I don't think
• 16:25
  we're going to see him all Chafford, but we'll see.
• 16:27
  And let's turn attention to United.
• 16:29
  So good news. Harry McGuire is going to be
• 16:31
  back from his suspension and Martin has still banned,
• 16:36
  unfortunately. And then there's probably a
• 16:38
  question mark for you all right, after he didn't start against
• 16:41
  Chelsea. I'm not fully sure what that is,
• 16:43
  but it looks unsure. Yeah, I saw, I saw some news
• 16:46
  saying it's just a knock and I think character, he might be
• 16:48
  back soon and I had some of the stories.
• 16:51
  He's out for three months, but I think it's the former.
• 16:55
  I think he's, I think it's just a knock.
• 16:57
  I hope anyway. But I think even if he is fit, I
• 17:02
  think the way obviously we'll get to teams in a minute, but
• 17:04
  the way you haven't played, I think you'd be confident with
• 17:06
  Heaven and McGuire started. Let's do it now.
• 17:10
  Why are you predicted lineups then?
• 17:14
  So see landing and goal, I'll go down right back because I think
• 17:18
  he did make a difference against Chelsea versus when we when we
• 17:24
  played Leeds. Then I'd have McGuire and Aiden
• 17:27
  and then Shaw left back and then the midfield, Bruno, Caps and
• 17:34
  Coby and then I think I would stick with the starting one for
• 17:42
  Chelsea, so Cesco, Junior and Bermo.
• 17:47
  How about you you've pinched my team.
• 17:48
  Yeah, when I send you that when I send you the notes, they
• 17:50
  always hide my little my inputs there.
• 17:52
  And just like exactly that. I think got you quite excited to
• 17:55
  see heaven and McGuire together because I think Kevin that
• 17:58
  shower through his last performance and McGuire bringing
• 18:01
  that to be Sam as rally did it. But that's how he's positioned,
• 18:04
  isn't it? So seeing them two together, I
• 18:06
  think will be quite good. And then yeah, I agree with you.
• 18:08
  I think it drops from us rally to the bench.
• 18:11
  But you know, leave the low right because he played well.
• 18:14
  And then yeah, I think Cesco starts and and blemble and
• 18:17
  Communi besides. So yes, same lineups mate, to be
• 18:20
  honest. Let's see if we agree on school.
• 18:23
  I'm going to jump in because in skin case you pinch my score as
• 18:26
  well as my lineup. So I'm going to go United 2,
• 18:31
  Bournemouth one and my scores are Casimiro.
• 18:35
  Think he's popping up Cesco and then a Tiago consolation for
• 18:40
  Brentford. Annoying because my wasn't it
• 18:43
  wasn't the same goal scorers, but it was I was gonna, I was
• 18:46
  gonna go, I was gonna go 21 and I'm going for it.
• 18:49
  Bruno, Bruno Pen. I'm not gonna put the pen down
• 18:53
  on the eyes a bit. And then Cesco, I think he's due
• 18:57
  a goal. And then same again.
• 18:59
  We won't be onto the bat but he goes to Eagle Tiago to score the
• 19:02
  one for Bradford. Yes, I got in there first so I'm
• 19:06
  not just copying you but yeah, that's what I fancy.
• 19:08
  So but as always, put a couple a couple of quid on and one of
• 19:13
  these days is going to come in. It's quite tricky to predict the
• 19:15
  score and the identical scorers and win, but I can see it at me.
• 19:20
  Especially when you're doing a we all won the other week was
• 19:22
  3/2 right, which is even you've got the score right.
• 19:25
  It's hard to get the free free scorers is ready out.
• 19:30
  Let's back ourselves, let's back our knowledge.
• 19:31
  It's going to come in. It's going to come in.
• 19:33
  All right, cool. A couple of two ones.
• 19:34
  I'd be very, very happy with that.
• 19:35
  And then that would take us so close to guaranteeing Champions
• 19:39
  League, right? I think it can can be even
• 19:41
  closer based on our results. So yeah, it's crossed.
• 19:45
  That'd put us what that place 60, that'll be 11 points, 11
• 19:50
  points ahead of Brighton and six if we win that. 12 to play for.
• 19:55
  Yeah, could it be if Brentford, I mean, sorry for Everton now,
• 19:59
  that'd be the same as well, yeah.
• 20:03
  Well, let's have a let's have a look at the rest of the game
• 20:06
  week and the weekend then. So I guess moving away from
• 20:09
  Premier League just quickly got the FA Cup semi finals.
• 20:11
  So we've got City, Southampton and Leeds, Chelsea, City,
• 20:17
  Southampton, so. City, City, you're obviously
• 20:20
  going through, even if they rest players like I don't think I
• 20:24
  think they also they will learn from Arsenal in the sense of
• 20:27
  like not not kind of resting on their laurels and actually
• 20:30
  putting on a decent team. So I think they'll and also they
• 20:32
  want momentum, right, going to the kind of the final prime
• 20:36
  games during the league. So I think they'll win that and
• 20:38
  then that if Brent was still in charge, I would have gone leads,
• 20:42
  but now I'm like, oh, every shows again, like we said
• 20:46
  earlier is why they probably made that change.
• 20:48
  But I don't know. Leeds got a draw last night.
• 20:55
  I'm going to go Chelsea. I think Chelsea will do it.
• 20:59
  Yeah, to be fair, maybe it sounds a bit stupid now, but I
• 21:01
  called Chelsea for the ethic open up.
• 21:03
  Do you remember like a quite a while ago?
• 21:05
  Yeah, yeah, and now it looks a bit mad.
• 21:07
  But you can imagine with this these these idiot players at
• 21:10
  Chelsea have got they'll probably kind of show up only at
• 21:13
  the weekend because I feel that they've got a point to groove.
• 21:16
  So I'm with you. I think Chelsea will get through
• 21:19
  that one and myself answer me. Obviously won't be happier just
• 21:24
  writing him off. He kind of ejolt of the day
• 21:26
  though and kind of said look that their B team now includes
• 21:30
  Phil Foden and players like Mamu.
• 21:32
  Even if they even if they're resting players is still is
• 21:36
  still some task. But everyone wrote off
• 21:38
  Southampton against Arsenal and they got the job done.
• 21:41
  However, I think looking at their league form as well, they
• 21:45
  look to be tiring. So it might just be a game too
• 21:48
  far I think, for those guys. Yeah, yeah, I think.
• 21:52
  So of City, City, Chelsea final we're predicting, let's see.
• 21:56
  And then back to the Premier League.
• 21:57
  So our mates Arsenal now in second at home to struggle in
• 22:02
  Eddie Howe's Newcastle. How do you see that one going?
• 22:07
  I don't know, it's a hard one because obviously Newcastle are
• 22:12
  in good form, but they're always seem to turn up for the bigger
• 22:15
  games and they've got such a combative team and I think they
• 22:18
  guess and they might also know that Arsenal bit of a wounded
• 22:21
  animal. So I can't expect Newcastle to
• 22:24
  turn up. So I'm going to go for a little
• 22:25
  draw on that one. I could.
• 22:29
  That would be fun. I think I'm still going to win
• 22:33
  this one and pile more pressure on Eddie Howe.
• 22:35
  I think, I think. I think I said last part.
• 22:39
  I think he's he's gone next, next in the summer.
• 22:44
  Yeah, I've got that video ready to post.
• 22:45
  Don't worry. Come in soon.
• 22:46
  Yeah, yeah, soon. Maybe.
• 22:48
  Maybe after that game and then not really a juicy games, but we
• 22:52
  rivals watch for, you know, top five really.
• 22:55
  Villa or away at Fulham. It could be a tricky 1.
• 23:00
  I think Fulham. Wishful thinking.
• 23:04
  Fulham again. Fulham if if they have a good
• 23:06
  little run, could push themselves inside Europa League.
• 23:09
  Are there any? Yeah, we're off Bournemouth in
• 23:14
  7th, but we're the game in hand, so they've still got something
• 23:17
  to fight for, so yeah. And Villa, I guess Villa's semi
• 23:24
  final with Forest is next Thursday, so maybe they have a
• 23:27
  bit of an eye on that as well. So yeah, it might not be a
• 23:31
  foregone conclusion that Villa would not.
• 23:35
  I'd love it. I'd love a bit of help from some
• 23:37
  of these teams dropping points because on the other side as
• 23:39
  well, then we've got a little bit Liverpool at home for
• 23:41
  Palace, but I can't really see anything other than Liverpool
• 23:44
  win there or by you. Yeah, I think Liverpool will win
• 23:47
  that. I think Palace, we've all the
• 23:49
  kind of the manager stuff and the Fallouts, if it's not been
• 23:54
  doing it enough. So again they look at the table
• 23:57
  or they've got two games in hand.
• 23:59
  So that's 8 into a 46 point so that again, they could still,
• 24:01
  they can still sneak into Europe again if they've got a run to
• 24:04
  go. So again, at least they've got
• 24:06
  something to play for. But yeah, I think the ball, ball
• 24:10
  win that one. Yeah, same.
• 24:14
  And then the only other game of note really for me is Wolves,
• 24:17
  home to Spurs and it obviously already relegated Wolves that
• 24:20
  are going to drag Spurs down with them and get something
• 24:22
  there. Yeah, it's one of these ones
• 24:24
  where, you know, often you see teams who have been relegated,
• 24:27
  it's almost like a pressure off their their chest and they they
• 24:31
  almost relax and play better. Yeah.
• 24:34
  So that one could surprise. Is it Wolves?
• 24:37
  Is it what wasn't? It is, yeah.
• 24:40
  Yeah. But I think if if Spurs don't
• 24:42
  win that, why? So like what elites now are 9
• 24:48
  points ahead? They're yeah, they're in serious
• 24:50
  sure. If they don't win that they're
• 24:52
  they're gone, I'd say. Big time.
• 24:55
  They don't even they draw the Wolves would be, yeah, Wolves
• 24:59
  are either on the beach or maybe they've been on the sauce is
• 25:01
  what Spurs can hope for. But I can see them, as you said,
• 25:04
  just maybe relaxing and just at least get a point there and then
• 25:09
  they are in. Spurs are in real deep duty if
• 25:12
  that happens and we're here for it.
• 25:16
  Also Wolves might like, it's one of those kind of your bit of
• 25:18
  pride, you might not want to finish bottom.
• 25:20
  If they win, they're joined with Burnley, then you have the bad
• 25:25
  goal difference similar. So again, a bit of pride.
• 25:28
  You might not want to finish Potter.
• 25:29
  I also I think you still, your prize money still counts for
• 25:34
  every position. So again, even from a financial
• 25:35
  perspective, going down like coming 19th or 18th is is much
• 25:40
  better financially. So again, that'd be something
• 25:42
  that the owners will be thinking about, I'm sure.
• 25:46
  And maybe a tip to Spurs to not do mass celebrations if they go
• 25:49
  one nil up. Yeah, after 14 minutes and yeah,
• 25:52
  just try a little bit, guys. Shirts off and all that good
• 25:57
  stuff. Oh, just just came together.
• 26:00
  Exactly. Just on spares I've seen as
• 26:02
  recently. I mean, we're linked with
• 26:04
  everyone now because it's silly season, but Mickey Van de Ven So
• 26:07
  United what? Yeah, I saw earlier.
• 26:09
  Yeah, like. What do you reckon?
• 26:12
  I obviously I like him. I mean, he's a good player, he's
• 26:16
  rapid, but my only concern is, is he a bit delict?
• 26:21
  And Martin Izzy with his old injury record, I think he's been
• 26:24
  injured quite a lot the last couple of seasons.
• 26:26
  So that's my only concern. I think from a player
• 26:28
  perspective can use quality, but you just want someone who's
• 26:33
  going to be available for a full season, which none of our
• 26:35
  sensebacks other than our young ones seem to be doing.
• 26:38
  So maybe I'd want a proper medical going on with that with
• 26:41
  him and full medical record to check.
• 26:44
  He hasn't got like glass ankle isn't it?
• 26:48
  Yeah, we need like a Brune off and understand.
• 26:50
  Yeah, exactly. And.
• 26:54
  Yeah, interesting 1 and I think there's always question marks
• 26:57
  for me when you've been in a team like that, just around
• 26:59
  attitude, because it obviously is a central player and
• 27:02
  obviously I'm not blaming him for Spurs being where they are,
• 27:04
  but when you've been part of that, you've got to ask
• 27:06
  questions on attitude and application.
• 27:10
  So yeah, you know, I've seen him real lengths of the pitch and he
• 27:13
  is a good player. But like you said, I want to
• 27:15
  make sure we properly do our homework before before anything.
• 27:19
  And if they go down, hopefully we if we do get him, we get him
• 27:22
  a brucely priced right. I was going to say, yeah, if you
• 27:25
  get him super cheap because it's one of those things where if
• 27:28
  you're not desperate for him but you can get him fed.
• 27:29
  Like, I don't know, normally if they were staying up, you'd
• 27:32
  probably have to pay like 50-60 million for him, but maybe
• 27:34
  because they're going down you can get him for 30 million,
• 27:36
  something like that. Then he's been a bag and it's
• 27:38
  worth going for. But I don't know who else Spurs
• 27:43
  we do. If anyone outside fancy.
• 27:47
  Not really. I like that.
• 27:49
  In the mid there is he, is he a Danish guy?
• 27:53
  Which one? This is going to bug.
• 27:55
  This is going to bug me. Please hold listeners.
• 28:00
  And is he injured at the minute? You must be.
• 28:06
  Oh, no. Berg valve.
• 28:07
  I like Berg valve. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 28:08
  Centre mid Swedish, yeah, he's a he's a decent player, but other
• 28:14
  than that, not really sure. There's Pedro Paro, maybe as
• 28:17
  well as like, yeah. I.
• 28:18
  See Brady doing Spurs already. Aussie Jed Spence was good last
• 28:23
  year but been rubbish this year. But you know, they've all been
• 28:25
  rubbishes why they're in 18, so I guess there's still players in
• 28:29
  there. Yeah, I guess you should look
• 28:30
  back at the previous season ready to see if there's any
• 28:32
  decent germs. But yeah, Paro was was always
• 28:35
  popping over assistant stuff last year, so yeah, he's
• 28:36
  probably a good chance. All right, let's stop raiding
• 28:41
  spurs and see if they go down 1st and then we can.
• 28:43
  Yeah, it's in different. But as always in previews, let's
• 28:46
  finish with challenge Chaz. But you know right to keep you
• 28:49
  on your toes. So this week going to swap it
• 28:52
  around I believe. Chad, you're going to, you're
• 28:53
  going to ask me. Yeah, so a bit of a theme from
• 28:57
  last time which I stole, but go ahead of our mates Karami's
• 29:01
  arsenal. I'm running.
• 29:03
  Can you list the I'm making it easier for you?
• 29:08
  But players who have played for both United and Arsenal and that
• 29:11
  made it easier by it being the Premier League era, because if I
• 29:13
  went back, obviously a lot more. And so they are, is 12345.
• 29:19
  There's six. And the worms bit tricky because
• 29:22
  it's kind of like he crossed into the Premier League.
• 29:25
  So it wasn't like assigning in that time.
• 29:29
  But he did play for both clubs and he wasn't playing for them
• 29:33
  in the Premier League era. But if you get him, I'd be
• 29:36
  impressed. I am all right.
• 29:40
  I'm nervous. Here we go.
• 29:43
  There's Aiden. That's very easy.
• 29:46
  And no, because I don't think he played us.
• 29:48
  I mean, I'm sorry, I should have clarified senior Premier League
• 29:52
  appearances as well in in there, yeah.
• 29:56
  All right, and rob me Van Persie.
• 30:00
  Correct. Make L Sylvester Yeah, Arsenal
• 30:09
  and I started off with a strong two and then lost my mind.
• 30:18
  You're in the pressure. There's a couple levels biggies.
• 30:26
  Yeah, Come on. Come on, Spencer.
• 30:32
  You've got this. Try to play.
• 30:36
  I don't know if I have a give me one more second.
• 30:37
  Come on. It is so true.
• 30:39
  When you pose this just everything disappeared and
• 30:42
  nursery rhymes going on. Come on, come on, come on.
• 30:48
  Come on For both of them. Let me think You're gonna have
• 30:58
  to call you me. This is shocking.
• 31:00
  This. Is shocking OK, Worm is still
• 31:03
  playing in the Premier League and scoring quite a few goals
• 31:06
  this season. Danny Welbeck, Yeah, they that's
• 31:14
  a bad one. I've got Spurs brighten up on my
• 31:19
  screen for when we were looking at Spurs and Danny Welbeck, 3 in
• 31:23
  the middle. Awful clay.
• 31:26
  Give me another awful clay. Piano.
• 31:32
  Piano. Oh boy, this is a famous thing.
• 31:38
  What? OK, OK, I never clue.
• 31:40
  One of the biggest flops ever. One of the biggest flops ever.
• 31:50
  I'm having a man you're. Having a man, he's gone chilly.
• 32:00
  Sanchez. Yeah.
• 32:01
  Do you know his piano being he's unveiling, he's playing the
• 32:04
  piano. I do not remember.
• 32:06
  That's all. Maybe.
• 32:08
  I think I've just wrapped him from my memory because he was
• 32:10
  absolutely shocking and I was actually quite excited to sign
• 32:14
  him. Yeah, that's part for me.
• 32:15
  Come on one. Is it one more then?
• 32:17
  One more is a hard 1 though, so I don't think you can get it.
• 32:19
  I wouldn't get it. Definitely not based on this.
• 32:22
  Come on, just put me out my misery.
• 32:25
  He also he played for Villa, he also played for let me see how
• 32:29
  he played for. He's more, very much more of a
• 32:35
  80s player, but he just, he also played for nothing Forests,
• 32:42
  Arsenal, Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley
• 32:45
  and Middlesbrough. Bit of an England like.
• 32:48
  Watching a listen now I just you're going to scream at me
• 32:53
  probably saying it's so obvious. Put it in the comments if you
• 32:56
  know what it is. Now go on Chaz.
• 32:58
  I've gone, he won. Let me see his honours.
• 33:00
  He's won the he won the European Cup twice.
• 33:09
  Opposition. Like attacking the field in a
• 33:12
  striker mind. Oh, it wasn't Ignore that he's a
• 33:17
  right back. I always swing that.
• 33:19
  Everybody shows my knowledge as well.
• 33:22
  He's done really well. No, you're not getting it, Dave
• 33:25
  Anderson. Yeah, if I'm not getting Danny
• 33:30
