  SPEAKER_01: Hello and welcome to another episode of On the Edge Premier League Show with myself, Brendan Tierney, and my co-host Darren Curns.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: Darren, straight away into it, we've had week two of the Premier League, and we've had uh more bizarre situations that we will get into.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, just in case anyone hasn't found out the results, we'll quickly go through them.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, we had Palace getting beaten well by Man City, and it was at home for Palace Coventry losing at home to Hull 1-0.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: Spurs losing again.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, again, this was at home to Newcastle 2-0.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: Leeds and Brentford drew one-all.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Man United with a huge win over Ipswich after a dodgy first half.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Liverpool again, second week in a row, they pulled it from behind to draw uh again, and that was at home to Forrest.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: Bournemouth at home to Everton was a draw one-one.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: Chelsea 4-3 on Sunday, another crack of a game with some mad possession stats.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: Sunderland 1-0 winners over Fulham at home, and then last night, Aston Villa and Arsenal ended with Arsenal winning 1-0 in what was an absolutely horrible game of football to watch.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well, look at let's we go through our little points each week.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: So, like the big game that mattered this week, and you were saying Liverpool Forest.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think so.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Liverpool at home, you know, it's a game that they should be winning.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I I say they them Saturday morning games, like they're a bugbear of mind, they really are, because they're topsy turvy, like you just you can't call them, you really can't.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, these are professional footballers, you should be able to play football at half twelve in the day, don't get me wrong.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, that's a game that Liverpool should be winning against Nottingham Forest, and that's no disrespect to Nottingham Forest, but to go behind 2-1 late on and to claw it back, and what their new sign-in gets the equaliser late on and 82nd minute it took.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and had Esau playing, did Wirts playing, you know, they're a good strong team out there.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: You couldn't really say they're missing anyone.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: No, uh, and and like, yeah, look, again, it's the beginning of the season, but should we have to talk about something?
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm sure they're worrying about it themselves, like they were, and I suppose Gakbo played.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, had he one foot out the door, he was supposed to be gone this week, he was supposed to be gone like to Man City, he was going to be a good one.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: But he hasn't gone as far as the deadline day we're recording this, by the way.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's not over yet.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: But I I believe from all accounts, I think that uh Liverpool pulled that.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: But you're playing a lad that he's supposed to be going, or he's agreed terms with other teams, and you're putting him into the starting lineup.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, is his head right?
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and the other players around him are they looking at him as if to say, Well, he's not going to try a leg here.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: And by all accounts, he wasn't great in the game, and he gets whipped later on in the game, also.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: So nothing of Forest to their credit, they're Gibbs White.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: What a great player.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: I was kind of hoping maybe Arsenal might go look at it at him this year, you know.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and he got an assist and a goal on yeah, now you got a penalty, a dubious enough penalty.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think the build-up to it uh that nobody looked back on, apart from a couple of lads on X or something like that, was a was a foul throw, um, which a young fellow will get done for an under-12 Slagle Ultra match.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: He had his foot up as he threw the ball, but nobody looked back on it because they went straight to the collision that Allison had with the forest attacker, and then the penalty is given.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's it's one of these things if the keeper makes contact nowadays, it seems to be a penalty all day long.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: And Gibbs White sticks the penalty away, you know, and but Liverpool got the result, and like it's two weeks in a row that they've been looking for late equalisers, obviously, not as late as it was against Newcastle the week before, but it's something that Liverpool need to be looking at because they have to go away to Ipswich this weekend.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Ipswich, you know, new team up again.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's a game that Liverpool should be winning, but like it's it's it's you wouldn't be putting loads of money on it now.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, again, look, as I said, Forrester was a funny team, new manager again.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, a few sign-ins, but you know, it'll be interesting.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: And they have Liam DeLap now over from Chelsea, so maybe record signing by him or Chris Wood.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be interesting to see who who'll become the main man there or how that'll pan out.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll go to our stock up and stock down.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: So this week our stock up, we were saying Arsenal Man United and Hull.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll start off our own team, Arsenal.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Look, it's stock up because it was a way to a team that really shut down the defence, and it's a it's a ground we don't win on all the time.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you have to just take the positives out, even though it wasn't amazing.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: We got a late soccer punch last year.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we probably owed them one at Villa Park.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh obviously, you watched the game last night, you know, poor game of football, but very, very difficult to play against a team that are sitting in that really don't have any intention of attacking.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like again, Villa had no shot on target.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: They'd no shots on target in this game and the first game, and I've heard in Sky Sports last night, in something like in 23 or 26 years of taking sets, only one of the team has done that in the first two games.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: So but it seems to me they were like in fairness and they're going, you know, they got destroyed in the first game, wasn't it, against Brighton?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 4-0, yeah.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: And then they were like, let's just lock it down so we get all the time.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Shut up, shots, transfer and sort of.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's like the manager uh reacted to what happened the week before because and he he was like, he obviously they went all guns blazing against Brighton, they got hit on the counter-attack for two goals, and then they have to go chasing the game to come out of their shape, and then all of a sudden they're 3-0 down or they're 4-0 down, and you know that that's a game that's you know it's gone, park it, move on.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go to Arsenal or let's Arsenal coming to us on the Monday night football, let's not concede early and let's stay in the game as long as we can and let's try and hit them with a set-piece goal or uh you know a counter-attack goal or something like that.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: But just poor game of football, but just from Arsenal, just to grind it out, like them games like we're talking about Arsenal win games one-nil, one-nil to the Arsenal being chanted.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: It is what it is, them games are about winning them.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: They got the three points, so just for their stock, we'll just rise out of a bit.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Well, interesting one there, like Yoko has not come in again.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: Two games in a row.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: Have I heard little rumours that there was some little disciplinary issue, maybe that Arteta has gone, you can't be doing that.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I don't know.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: I read some headlines somewhere which may not be.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: But it's especially when he's emptying the bench, you know.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, and like it was great to see Bruno Gamers coming on.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: And a very positive uh debut in the league, as far as an idea.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: I actually missed it myself last time of course I was away.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: And he he probably got taken down for a penalty late on himself that wasn't given.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um but there was a the commentators last night, it's just something that it'll be interesting to see over the next couple of games.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: So they were they actually made the point of saying that there was two minutes at a time in the first half, and they made the point of saying, well, we're not going to have this big chunk of injury time anymore because the game has sped up with the time for the throw-ins and the time and the kick outs that you know teams can't be delaying and free kicks and substitutions, also that if you don't leave the pitch, but all of a sudden, then for the end of the game, there's eight minutes, and the commentators are like, Where did this eight minutes come from?
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: I was saying that the same myself, and we don't know where the eight minutes came from because there was no there was I think it was only two physios on the pitch.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: No, there was a uh a ball of changes from both teams.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So whether that they're adding on them 20 or 13.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: So if that if that is the case, it'd be interesting to see if that's going to be uniform across all games.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um and Solas didn't seem to be having a hit all his own way against was it Matty Cash who was giving it off and then John McGain was getting in them, and they actually took him off at half time and Ezekiel came on apparently and played much better.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: He did, yeah.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: So like we're we're very lucky, like the bench we have Ezri Conze to come on, like when Muscara got injured, Marino came on apparently played well, Zubimendi then Gumaris all came on.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's some bench to have on.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's well, you said just for quick about the throw-ins.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: Was there something in the Liverpool game I read where the the amount of time uh for substitutions or something that they weren't allowed makes or substitutions, or the players weren't having to pitch at the right time?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: So it's something that's gonna be a good thing.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: Those kind of things are new things now in games going on.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was to do with the fourth official that he hadn't the numbers on the board in time.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: The ref decided to continue the game, right?
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that was down to the fourth official.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's a it's it's a tough enough job.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you're I think there was was there four or five subs coming off at the same time, two for four three for Liverpool, like it's you know, you're you're you're asking you're asking for trouble in that situation.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: So our other team we said were on the up was uh Man United.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, again, they went behind and they didn't when their first goal was after 40 minutes, uh, but then they took off, and it was that man again, player of the year, Bruno Fernandez.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: If Anthony never happens him, yeah, there could be an advantage.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: We really go where where like and I mean they have I who wouldn't love to have him Buemo and Cunha and Cesco.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a peculiar kind of setup, but they're obviously they shouldn't be finding their feet now, like they have they've had these guys a long time.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh but and like but the probably the age-old problem with United is that they have some of the problem players are still at the club or still in the team, and they have no choice but to play them.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: But Ipswich to their credit, they you know they got the opener, they probably should have been two up, and then but once United like United got a lucky enough goal, super finished by Bruno Fernandes, don't get me wrong, with his left foot into the roof of the net, but it was the Ipswich midfielder that slipped when they were on the attack.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, and United Man takes the ball off and couldn't a great ball in behind the defence into Bruno Fernandez, and after that they didn't look back, to be honest.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, a few little bits, but look, you make your unlucky if you keep attacking that.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and and and after what happened the week before against Hull, their first game at home, you know, they had to get the fans back inside.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: So look at their stuff.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then we wish we went uh the third team then, and this is their second week uh on in our uh the stock went up, was Hull.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Again, away to Coventry.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: Both teams are probably going right.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: This is one of our winnable games, we're up against another promoted side, but uh it was Liam Miller in the 82nd minute got the goal there for them.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: So again, Hull are joint top.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, after two games.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I'm sure the Hull manager and the Hull fans will be saying, We go to Coventry here, let's get away with a point.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's take it and let's move on and let's see what happens.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: And they get all three points with a late goal, and good luck to them.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: They're rising high at the moment, so you know they'll take it.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, we'll go to our stock down, whose stock went down this weekend?
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: So we said Brighton, Spurs, and Villa.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: So Brighton, after a massive opening day, didn't I like in fairness to them?
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't flop either.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: It was a peculiar game.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: I and someone told me the possession, Chelsea had 25% possession, yeah.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: Which and I don't keep every stat in the game, but that sounds bonkers.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: And win the game and win five four three sorry, yeah.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: But they went went 3-0 up and 3-1 and 3-2, then 4-2 and 4-3, and get after getting a couple of early goals, very early goals, and should have been more up at the same time, and with only 25% possession in the game, and it was it because that they went a couple of goals up that Alonso decide, okay, let Brighton have the ball, let's sit in and let's try to get them on the counter-attack.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, because Brighton went up in our stock the week before with a 4-0 win, they drop back down again.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: And there was a lot of goals there where and then they did get a 96-minute goal as well.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, passive goals header.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: But like there was uh some of the counter-attacks was just they just ran through Brighton.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, you'd have to give them a mark for that.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'll give one mention to Malik Yalkue, got a lovely strike for his goal.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: And a few minutes I watched of the game, like he looked really lively like he's just a young small guy.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: So uh there's there's maybe there's one for your if you want it in your fantasy football, the other guy that mightn't cost you much money, but again, if Brighton look at look, they've scored what seven goals in two games, so they'll be back banging in the goals again without.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then Villa, look look, they've been pulled apart with transfer windows and all that, and I know they've new players coming in, but like you have to just for if you love football, last night wasn't football like you just have to know that's so we're putting their stock down just on that.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: You were you watched the whole game, and even my friends are arsenal fans like, oh you mess nothing like that.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and like it's it's they obviously have new sign-ins in like Nicholas Jackson played up front yesterday, you know, and then they had three or four lads in the stand that were officially unveiled or signed over the last 24 hours that weren't available, and then they have you mentioned it last week that they have a couple of injuries, but just at the way that they're playing, like like I don't like that style of football.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's you know, it's it's it's it's just a negative style of football, and you know, the crowd with Villa, you know, they're getting their stadium redone, so it was a funny enough atmosphere.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was nearly like uh a kind of a preseason friendly or a game that's played in a neutral venue or something like that, because the whole behind the goals has been redone.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, lots of atmosphere as well.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: I was impressed with their new keeper, Suzuki um oh yeah whopper of a kick off the deck.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: He was pinging ball and he was kicking it way too long at times because he was finding Raya down the far end of the field.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: But if you haven't, if people haven't watched him, watch them because he's going to be one that has a has a super pickup.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: And I think like in fairness, like there's a young guy there, is it uh George Hemmings?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: Is it 19?
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean, like, in fairness, long term you're thinking that's you know, they have lads to come in now and that.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: But but look, as I said, they were at home.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't put their stock down because they lost.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was because it was just the way the awful way to play.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: But look, we can't probably blame them in one sense of fairness.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: They have a great manager, and it'd be interesting to see as the season goes on.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: So and then Spurs.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Spurs again.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: I remember just seeing the results, and this was to Newcastle, who have also been pulled apart uh by transfers.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: And again, Elanga and Wis Vissa getting a goal, but like look, of course, it's two games in, but De Zerby was even really scathing of his team as well after that.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: So is there is it like the May all curses?
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Is there something wrong with that?
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I suppose like only time is going to tell with it, but like when you have a complete overhaul of a team, which we said that it was needed, it's gonna take a bit of time to bet in, it really is.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: But if they don't start clicking and getting some results, the fans are gonna get on their back, and then the f newfelt players that are in are going to feel the heat and they're gonna be thinking, Oh, like I didn't sign up for this.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: So it's and and Newcastle to their credit, you know, like they have been decimated with with everybody that's gone from their team, you know, they had their main stays are completely wiped out, their manager is gone, and they got a great result against Liverpool.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: And then going to Spurs last Saturday evening, and in them games, uh it's all about the first goal.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: First goal in them games is crucial because then another team has to come out of their shape, and they got it, and to their credit, you know, it it it was a warranted three points, but Spurs will just have a little bit of soul searching to do, and they need to be getting a win this weekend, like you know.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they say for very soon, and for just for well, we'll go to the games in a couple of minutes, but uh yeah, they'll be definitely trying to get their get their stock up for next week.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah so uh the big uh argument uh like are Chelsea the real deal?
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Now it is only after two games, but like they've conceded is it five goals?
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: Is that right?
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: They yeah, two against Fulham and they three the other day.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: So with all the attacking now, in fairness, their attack looks amazing.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I Pedro Neto played the last year, and maybe he's not going to be long in there, but like you know are the genuine titan contenders?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'd say the one thing that they've gone for them is that they have no Europe, so it's it's a game a week.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Alonso will have time to get things out on the train and pitching.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: And they're after getting a few lads in, and he's after, you know, obviously Enzo is gone.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so he's just gone at tonight as we were doing.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so he's gone to Man City.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: So but is that like was he bringing down the negative energy in the club?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Like, is he uh bad egg?
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's you you know, he's a he seems to be a strange enough character.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I would say that Alonso's the type of manager that doesn't take any crap from players like that, and he might be happy to see the back of him to be honest.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: So he'll be back, and they'll be playing ourselves.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: So like I suppose, based on their first two games, are they gonna be a team that will go at it and we'll score, you score, hopefully, we'll end up scoring more than you.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're playing Arsenal on Sunday, so that's gonna be an eye-opener for both teams.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like it, like Chelsea are coming and they're hit the ground running, you know, they have two from two and they're coming to the Emirates on Sunday.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: Arsenal, obviously, two from two as well, have had the hoodoo over Chelsea over the last couple of seasons, you know, like had have bet them comfortably enough to be honest.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: But obviously, Chelsea have a new manager, and they've often had a new manager in when Arsenal be playing them.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: We still were able to get across the line.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: But if Chelsea are genuine titled contenders, Sunday will be a test for them.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, again, they're gonna come up against a real like with their all their brilliant attacking Morgan Rogers.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: You have Cole Palmer, obviously Neto like had got his goal and then Jao Pedro.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and like Jao Pedro'cause calls the line.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: And Morgan Rogers is exceptional, he really is, like he's a great player.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: So and Arsenal have been ruthless in defence this year, like you know what I mean.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: And that's with no Saliba, yeah, you know, or Timber.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so yeah, it'll be an intriguing game to see.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I just seen their defence, and as I said, three goals at home to Brighton would be kind of worrying, and you go, maybe Arsenal can get at them.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so again, I go and I don't think they're gonna sit back like Aston Villa did last time.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it'll be interesting to see like if we were talking about Alonso, you know, the 25% possession, is he gonna try and do something similar on Sunday and would he take a nil all?
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: So but I'd say at the beginning of the season where he's betting them in, and he goes, like, we're away, we'll catch them at Stanford.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if you if you're if you're playing with that front four that you're after name and there, like you know, that it's very hard to turn them boys into a defensively strong setup straight away because they want to play front foot football, and that's when you know that's when they're at their best, that's when they have the ball, but it's when they're without the ball and they're gonna be able to sit in.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: So time will tell.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, time will tell.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, so uh overreaction or a fair reaction, and we were kind of saying people freaking out about Spurs, like we talked a bit like how do you figure it out?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like all the sign-ins they brought in.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: And is it tonight they've just got Mudric?
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, which again, if you were wind a few years ago, we at Arsenal were praying we'd get like he looked like an absolute rock star.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it'd be very interesting now that his troubles are behind him and he's come in as well.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Marmous, uh Savio, uh, and then Tanali and all the boys they've had already, and yet Van Heck and all these guys.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, it's been it's been mad, like Sinesi.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's just like I would I would obviously there's loads of people have been talking it down and saying that you know what's going on, and you know, is is it too many?
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, is there too many new fresh players all at once, like you know, because it is a huge, huge overhaul.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: And these lads that are signing are being thrown straight into the team.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I suppose when you're spending big money on on them guys, but I think they're gonna need a few weeks of training and De Zerbi getting his methods around them because De Zerby obviously managed in the Premier League before, then he was with Marseille, and I'm not sure if anybody's seen the videos of him training the Marseille team, but like he he he is a taskmaster, he really is.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like and maybe that's just what Spurs needs to be.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, but it either is or it isn't because if these players like like they don't respond to that, yeah.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, these pros are prima donnas, really.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, and if they don't take likely to this, they're gonna be thinking, Well, what's he like you know?
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: But I would say it's a bit of an overreaction.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Overreaction, yeah, yeah.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because we're only two games in.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like if it continues in that vein of form, we'll have to be saying that it might have been a fair reaction, but for now it's a bit of an overlap.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: We give him the benefit of the doubt in fairness.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, under the radar, what are people not talking about enough?
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: We said Newcastle.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Newcastle, yeah.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: I just think so because like again, with all the players that they've lost, yeah.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, and again Waltimeda, like who just gone to the butt like he hit the ground running at the start of the season last year, and then he kind of went out of form.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, with a new manager in this year, because there's a player in there, there really is.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I thought that he might have been given a chance, but now he's gone on loan as it's a Juventus.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: He went on loan to I I'm not sure.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think it is yeah.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um he's gone out the door, but rookie manager in the Premier League, he's after getting two results from two games.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: So, like he deserves a small bit of credit.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: And Alanga, who didn't score in the Premier League last year, is after scoring two and two.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: So again, like it's different managers, horses for courses.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Is he getting the best out of Alanga playing him?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um and he's a star player when he gets going.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like well, that's the reason they signed him in the first place.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, and he's got his goal and Wissa as well, and Harvey Barnes.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: Like, so they've like they drew their first game, then they had a big win in the cup during the week and now 2-0 away to Spurs.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: So that's they'll be happy.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_01: Good God, we've just landed this in.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, I think I think, and just and with the with the new manager in the whole lot, give them give them uh a bit of bit of credit on the case.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: And again, by all accounts, like Lewis Hall and Deddich again, the new right back and the goalie Hornychek seem to all play quite well as well.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, all all looking well for uh for Newcastle.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: So maybe we'll uh maybe we've been overreacting on them over the summer.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, maybe thinking that they were going to be done on the relegation zone.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: Only in football.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: So this is something bizarre or crazy that happened over the weekend.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: So there's well, there's two, but one is Mr.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: Maguire.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if you missed this, so you explain.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: You you you seen it in for anybody that didn't see it, it was Ipswich defender went to clear the ball.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: Harry Maguire blocked it with his hands, they were near his chest, but it was handled.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: So did they say it was a handball?
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: At the end of it, yes.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: In the during the course of the game, the ref obviously let it go, and Harry Maguire takes a shot at goal, which hits off the Ipswich player's heel and goes into the net.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: By all accounts, he goes celebrating, etc.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: etc.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: as you do.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: Then the ref listens into VAR, and the outcome of the FAR was that they decided that it was a handball, but because it was an OG, the handball doesn't count.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: So if Maguire had scored direct from his shot, the goal would have been disallowed.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: So you're So if you now push the ball into someone like that's mad.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: I hope they at least come out and go, look, that was a mistake.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I don't know.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know what these officials are like and when these rules are in, but it seems to be a hit a hideous rule, like it.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's can so like as I was saying to a United supporter, so if he whip that into top corner, it's disallowed.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, yeah.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: I said, but because I went in off an Ipsage defender, it's allowed that sounds I must actually have a good look at that one myself.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: And then this is just another this is just a quick point.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: We're just saying, like, we think Man City have spent about 400 million in this transfer window alone.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, give or take.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: I think maybe uh you might add when we were looking at it, we mightn't have added in the hundred million of Enzo Fernandes.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: So maybe we might be wrong, we could be like four to five hundred million.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_01: I and like this is just never mind being an Arsenal rival fan, this is as a football fan, just to go, ah, come on.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Everton, Forest, all these teams, yeah, Leicester, all these like for the good of football, yeah, like there has to be some reprimand for what went on.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so so we're just gonna we can't let that pass through.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: Only in modern day football, in the world of FIFA going, hmm, how's this let happen?
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: But anyways, hopefully in the coming weeks that's gonna happen.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: So last week, uh we'll each week me and Darren pick uh we put our yeah, I would say put your name on it, call a game that probably isn't too obvious.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I picked Ipswich for the crack.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: I thought United and for a while I was looking good, I was getting very cocky with myself.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but then obviously United turned that in their head, and you had picked uh Brighton at Chelsea.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: You weren't too impressed.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well I suppose I had a bad start.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had a bad start.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: But as we said, we're not going to pick a uh one-to-five shot or something like that.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's something that should happen too.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, since we're a bit of fun.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: So this weekend, uh well, I'll just tell everyone the fixtures this weekend very quickly.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you have Ipswich at home on Friday night to Liverpool, then on Saturday uh in the morning you have Newcastle Bournemouth, um, Brentford Sunderland, Knotts Forest versus Spurs, Man City vs.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Coventry, Fulham versus Palace, Brighton versus Leeds, Hull versus Villa on Saturday evening, and then on Sunday, 2 o'clock, Everton Man United.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: And Super Sunday, Arsenal Chelsea will be ding of a game for us.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: So out of those games, I for the crack, I'm gonna stick with my old Ipswich.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: They're at home to Liverpool Friday night, Friday night lights, hopefully, Ipswich maybe get a bit of inspiration there, and I'm gonna say they could pull off a win.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: So who would you pick?
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I am gonna go for Hull to stay top of the table after this weekend's matches three in a row.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say that they're gonna beat the villains.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: I just think that it's a Saturday evening game, you know, like they're answering all the questions so far.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: I was very disappointed with Villa last night.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now they could turn around and they could get all these new signings straight into the team for the weekend.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: If it happens, it happens.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: But I just think that I think that it's just a game too early, maybe for them to get that settled back up.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, quite possible.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: Emory's been as a manager, so I've no doubt eventually, but maybe this will be a good time for Hull to go lads.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: This is an unto wearable game.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: I just think that it might be a game that might just suit all.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: And if you think our predictions are bad, there's a great video of Gabby Agbonlehur and Talk Sport uh going through he predicted Arsenal's first five games.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: Just look it up.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's so like we are uh we have nothing to fear.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay, okay.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: So again, look at uh that's all for this week with Seven Darwin.
