Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the 43.
0:18
I'm AF. And today I'm joined by the
0:20
regulars. Jason.
0:22
Ronnie will see me, Brian and being emitted, and then SV,
0:27
special. Welcome to a guy that I've been.
0:30
Following for a long while back to full-time Devils times on the
0:35
YouTube channel. They now call State fit better.
0:39
But even there is all the way from the USA is a regular on
0:43
that on their Channel. They are a popular.
0:45
Manchester United fan channel here.
0:48
Welcome Junction. Thanks for having me.
0:52
Nice. Nice to have young men.
0:54
Yeah. We were all quite excited to to
0:57
get the board everything on this one.
0:59
Nope. Intended.
1:01
But yeah, as is customary with our show whenever we have a
1:06
first time on we have a little bit of an icebreaker.
1:11
So John, what is your single most greatest football memory
1:16
and why? That's a great question.
1:21
I'm going to start with, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna show
1:24
it to one because of course, of course, we're all here as much
1:27
as but also, because as a massive football fan, I also
1:31
keep the South Korean national football team, very close to my
1:34
heart. So, two moments in particular,
1:36
one was, of course, in 2002 in the career World Cup, when ji,
1:42
Sung Park our very own red when he first sort of rows into this
1:47
chart on more started. Being notice on an international
1:51
stage was when he scored his goal vs.
1:53
Portugal. And this was this was a very
1:55
stacked Portugal side, mind you nobody in their right mind,
1:58
thought Korea is going to take any result, vs.
1:59
Portugal and Jason Park. Absolutely, world-class finish
2:03
took a chest out from a long ball.
2:05
Took a touch with his right foot, and then volleyed it with
2:07
his left. It was an unbelievable moment.
2:09
And then the Korea in the entire nation erupted, I was in tears
2:13
and that was sort of how I came to really truly fall in love
2:18
with football. But with respect to match the
2:21
shadow, of course, another Cheesman Park moment, was when
2:24
decent Park scored vs Chelsea, I believe it was in the
2:27
quarter-final are might have been the semi.
2:29
I think it was quarterfinal because I think we first schalke
2:31
in the court and the semi-final in the Champions League 2010.
2:35
2011, season Ryan Giggs finds him with a lovely pass a dink.
2:40
Absolutely just rinses the entire Chelsea backline juicing
2:43
Park takes the touch, similar fashion takes the chest chest.
2:46
Touchdown this time and just drives with his left foot past,
2:49
Petr Cech. I I was in the dorms.
2:52
I was in college at the time and I was in the dorms.
2:55
I remember I was screaming so loud.
2:57
I smashed my table. I was like, just I like rip my
3:00
shirt. I was I was going crazy and I
3:03
had the called the ra at the time.
3:06
So basically, somebody that like oversees the dorms, she came in.
3:09
She was like, what the hell is going on?
3:10
I was like, get out. I'm I'm full out.
3:13
I'm going crazy right now. I'm watching football and I
3:16
Remember, those two moments will always be ingrained in my
3:18
personal memory. Nice, when I actually remember a
3:22
video that you said, I think it was last season when I can't
3:26
remember who scored the winner at the end, but you just scream
3:30
when you shout it so much. And I think it was your
3:32
grandmother that was in the place with you and she just like
3:36
lick so confused about what whatever was happening.
3:38
But yeah, I just, I love to see the passion and it's amazing.
3:42
Like, yeah, actually, I'm actually, that moment was also
3:45
very memorable, but it wasn't. As, of course, like when you're
3:49
young, our you have all these, like, you know, memories that
3:51
you grew up on that was a fantastic moment as well.
3:54
It was against PSG Ratchford scored the penalty and Mary and
3:59
I screamed and I went crazy. I was actually injured at the
4:01
time and I was using a foam roller, and I was so upset.
4:05
I was so emotional that I like, just Chuck the foam roller and
4:07
it bounced, and my grandmother was actually just happened to
4:11
walk in and she almost got hit with a foam roller.
4:12
So she's trying to process. What the hell is going on.
4:15
I'm screaming at the top of my voice and then there's a police.
4:19
Who come and they're like, they knock on my door delay, excuse
4:22
me. We've heard of somebody swearing
4:24
excessively and looked like they were shouting and throwing
4:27
things is everything. Alright, in a and I look so
4:30
stupid. I'm like, you know, like
4:31
painting. It looks like I actually had
4:33
fought somebody and I told a police officer.
4:35
I was like, I'm actually watching a football match and
4:37
they laughed so hard. They were like, this is, do you
4:40
got it. They're gonna do, you have to
4:41
keep it down. But yeah.
4:42
Yeah, that was another fantastic moment as well.
4:44
But a fool again. It's the memories that we
4:51
cherish. But yeah, we all have a couple
4:56
of questions for you. So, I'll just get the board
4:59
reading on my side and then we can just go down the panel and
5:03
everybody can can can ask you a question.
5:05
But yeah, I'm just going to go straight into Manchester United
5:09
Century news. Also, just just a side note.
5:13
You mentioned earlier that we all met with United fans.
5:16
We actually I didn't Jason is a awesome.
5:19
And and receive is a new console fan shroud.
5:23
I thought it was a Germany sir for a split second.
5:28
Yeah. Do you want to anger everybody
5:30
early in the podcast and Shout that I'm actually also fan.
5:32
So yeah, let's just do it may look for good and then we don't
5:36
want John leaving early now finds out.
5:38
He was lured here on false pretenses.
5:44
Yeah, so my question is, do you think that Manchester United is
5:50
a beta team with or without Christian Ronaldo?
5:54
Wow, that's a, wow. That's a, that's a heavy meal
5:58
right there. Off the start at the we're going
5:59
to go with like a nice little business.
6:01
Nice little appetizer. We're going straight into the
6:02
video, cool. All right, it's a mixed
6:05
reaction. So let's take it from a logical
6:08
standpoint and an emotional standpoint.
6:10
And I'll start with the emotional first because that's
6:12
what I'm good at. I'm going to be emotional
6:15
magistrate idea re-signing Cristiano.
6:17
Ronaldo has always been something that has been pulling
6:20
at the heartstrings of match excited fans for a since he even
6:23
left. Right?
6:24
I mean, he's been talking about, he's been teasing matches United
6:28
fans with this idea of like, oh, I'll never say no to Manchester
6:30
United. That's my home.
6:31
That's my start. He's been teasing us for that
6:33
all throughout his entire time since he's left metal shed at
6:36
Real Madrid. Even at Juventus as well.
6:39
He's come back a couple of times as opponents as an enemy and he
6:43
Lord goes against us and we've had our fair share of, you know,
6:46
suffering pain at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo, but at the
6:49
end of the day, he's our very own.
6:50
He's our very own CR7. So him coming back has always
6:53
been something that matched. My fans will always accept and
6:56
love from an emotional standpoint from a logical
6:59
standpoint. However, it's a bit of a tough
7:01
question. It's a bit.
7:02
It's not easy to say black and white that he's bad.
7:07
Some fans think that he's bad for us because especially on the
7:10
rang Nick. We want to play in this sort of
7:11
aggressive style of Pressing at high intensity and high work
7:15
great and Christian Cristiano. Ronaldo being 37 is not going to
7:18
give you that even when he was 21 25.
7:21
He wasn't the one running around, you know pressing
7:23
players. That's not his style of game.
7:24
He he likes to take the ball, dictate the tempo on his own.
7:27
He likes to take players on and say look I own this game.
7:29
I'm the captain nowadays. It's even less so that you're
7:33
expecting that energy in the work, put from Cristiano
7:35
Ronaldo. So in that case, I understand
7:37
why some fans might be frustrated.
7:40
But also at the same time if you actually watch the games and if
7:42
you watch CH the the stats and you follow closely as to the
7:45
sort of the micro details of what's been going on.
7:48
Cristiano. Ronaldo, has been denied many
7:50
times, easy assists, especially at the hands of Bruno Fernandez
7:54
at the end of it, who's missing in Prague Bose.
7:56
Mr. Ashford was missed it. So many players around him who
7:59
just not done their part in many ways.
8:03
So from that perspective, you can kind of tell that Cristiano
8:06
Ronaldo in in the case that they're creating chances has
8:09
done well and yet and other people around him, aren't you?
8:13
Providing or aren't finishing what he's providing for them.
8:17
At the other hand. You can also look at and say
8:19
that Cristiano Ronaldo himself has missed many chances as well.
8:21
So it's a very mixed result. I don't think you could just
8:23
kind of sit here and be like, oh, it's his fault, that it was
8:25
a great thing that he's sign or was a bad thing that he signed.
8:28
I think the fact of the matter is, is that him signing sort of
8:31
hindered Manchester United from moving that money into other
8:35
asset assets, like, for example, a defensive midfielder.
8:37
We've been looking at crying for defensive midfielder for so
8:40
long. And yet, we still not signed.
8:43
Somebody we've had to have, we've signed we've signed Pogba
8:45
when he was doing dabs and shit. That was like however, long ago
8:48
storms. He was doing an intro video and
8:50
that was God knows how long we still don't know where his best
8:52
position is we've signed burner Fernandez to obviously occupy
8:55
the number 10, but other than that we have an aging message.
8:58
We have a questionable Fred and we have a Scott makes a man who
9:01
still not yet looking like he's you know, sort of hold the roll.
9:05
So we don't have a clear cut idea as to who are holding
9:08
midfielder is and I think that's played a massive Dent.
9:11
Whether Cristiano Ronaldo has been Good sighting or a bad
9:13
signing. Yeah, yeah, I can give you that.
9:18
But if you look at Manchester United before the turn of the
9:22
earth, just the, I don't know. There was, he was, he was
9:25
playing his part. He was holding goals.
9:28
You look sharp. And that is, mainly because
9:31
Mason degenerate, Anthony Marshall Marcus Last that
9:34
actuate. It is in.
9:35
Kobani. They were all playing.
9:37
There was a rotation happening and just, you know, that would
9:40
give the believer that he needed.
9:42
I mean, I think he's played before before he The city, dog
9:46
me this weekend. I think you played about what
9:48
four games in like 13 days or 12 days or something, which is a
9:53
lot for a 37-year old. I mean, he didn't get much time
9:57
to erase this body. He didn't get enough time to,
10:01
you know, have the either direct edit these muscles the way it's
10:04
supposed to. And I think that's a huge Point
10:07
as to why since the turn of the Year Mason, you know, with
10:11
everything happening with him, actually getting out the form,
10:14
Tony Marshall being Loaned, out and Cavani taking vacations.
10:17
We need to be wants to. I think that's that's a huge
10:21
Factor as to why my wife is younger.
10:23
And although, as in being hitting the ground, the ground
10:27
rolling since the new year, new year period.
10:32
But yeah, I just I don't know if I could just add that.
10:34
Maybe we can if we're to conclude on this point that like
10:37
Cristiano Ronaldo signing has its positives and negatives, but
10:40
in an Essence, an entirety perspective, this team has had
10:43
so many problems across the We're looking at it from a
10:46
personal perspective to board perspective to recruitment
10:48
perspective Cristiano. Ronaldo's questionable signing
10:52
could potentially be one of many problems at Manchester United
10:55
and you can sort of pinpointed it or point fingers at just one
10:57
person. Because I think it's just I
10:58
think this club has just been filled with problems and filled
11:02
with holes left, right? And Center that Cristiano.
11:05
Ronaldo signing. I think if we're looking at it
11:07
purely from a financial perspective.
11:09
I purchased a Christiano Ronaldo shirt.
11:11
As soon as he was a as soon as those shirts came up and I did
11:14
it. Received it like 4 months later.
11:16
And this is Manchester dies, Adidas Megastore, that like,
11:19
pumps out hundreds of thousands of shirts.
11:21
Just goes to show that Cristiano Ronaldo's.
11:23
I'm sure if we look at it from a financial perspective, later
11:25
down the line where we'll find out that Cristiano Ronaldo shirt
11:27
sales have been absolutely off the charts and like, these are
11:29
the ideas that matches United are probably chasing for this
11:32
idea of like Financial gains and things like that, but on the
11:35
pitch, it's been nothing but a disaster and it's been nothing
11:38
but headaches for fans and people involved in that we can
11:41
understand why ringnecks out here, you know, looking like he
11:44
just looking like he It gained like 10 years.
11:47
This is just problem left, right and Center done.
11:50
It's actually time to get the question across because it's
11:55
quite related to that what you were saying and it's basically
11:58
with regards to. My question is, are the current
12:01
United Squad. Are they good enough and perhaps
12:04
just not kidding, you know, we're not putting in the hard
12:07
yards that they supposed to. Or is it the case that they
12:10
simply just are not good enough and we need to answer that and
12:13
face the facts and then trying to replace them.
12:15
Going forward. So what is your view with regard
12:17
to the current Squad? Because if I look at the way you
12:19
played on Sunday, they were part of the game where you played
12:22
really well and you look like you could match City and then
12:24
they were the rest of the game where you know city was streets
12:28
ahead and they were cruising in second gear for part of that
12:32
game. So what is your take with
12:33
regards to this kind of Manchester United's quite.
12:36
The short answer is the short answer is no, we're not.
12:39
Good enough. If you look at Manchester United
12:41
over the years, if we're comparing magistrate idea to Sir
12:43
Alex Ferguson magicians, out of work.
12:45
Nowhere near good enough. For looking at Manchester
12:47
United, just purely objectively speaking in comparison to the
12:50
rest of the competition, especially maybe with reference
12:53
to the top six. We're still not good enough.
12:54
So the short answer is, no, I think we're good enough to
12:57
challenge for top for. I think we have the squad.
13:00
We spent, we sure as hell spent the money for it.
13:02
We have the squat to be able to challenge for the top, for you
13:05
mentioned the game against Manchester City on Sunday.
13:08
We were miles. We were miles apart, in terms of
13:10
the food, the level of quality, in the playing style, but I
13:13
think when, When when you're a footballer, when you're an
13:16
athlete, and I'm not trying to sound like I played in the
13:19
Premier League, but when you're an athlete, when you get at, I
13:24
watched I watched the video of daughter and your list is quite
13:27
the polling in my mistake, please do not signed for
13:33
Manchester United. Yeah, but we're talking about
13:39
actual athletes like Premier League players.
13:42
The pressure is insane, right? And the amount of pressure that
13:45
modern players have as opposed to players in the past are
13:49
completely different. So the fragility of the
13:51
mentality of players is, is, is unquantifiable.
13:57
So when you're looking at Players, that's especially like
13:59
players that have been through van Gaal players that have been
14:01
through only going to Sociology rosamaria players that have been
14:04
through all these like, Has periods.
14:06
Their mentality is, is so in tatters.
14:12
You see clearly see Manchester City.
14:13
They were, they were messing around taking one touch to touch
14:16
passes. Looking making football looks so
14:18
silky. And so smooth.
14:19
I'm pretty sure certain players in Manchester United's.
14:22
I'd have the capacity or the capability to play in that way.
14:26
But because of their mental absolute distraught - it's not
14:29
going to be easy for them to rebuild this confidence and
14:31
rebuild this mental strength. That's why I be I feel like
14:35
yeah, we might Be close to matching suit in terms of
14:38
quality, but we at least have that bit at least push for at
14:41
least be in top four right now. We don't and I think one of the
14:44
reasons as to why is because mentally speaking, we're all
14:47
over the place. They need to repair them into R.
14:50
Ashford is a clear example of of what matches should I did is
14:54
like right now, they don't have they don't have an idea a clue
14:58
as to what's going wrong on the pitch.
15:00
Yeah, we might be creating chances whatnot, but they're not
15:02
finishing these simple chances, some of these chances that they
15:04
should be finishing their not. Fishing raster is a clear,
15:07
example of that. He has the ball, he could play
15:08
it simple. But what does he decide to do?
15:10
He decides to take this. Gareth Bale as outside touch
15:13
with his foot and try to Sprint with an acceleration, a distance
15:16
of, like 55 feet. Like what is he trying to?
15:19
What is he trying to accomplish in that respect, right, from
15:22
what, from a microscopic perspective, we have no idea
15:25
what's going on. And if you're looking at it from
15:26
a microcosm perspective that just shows Manchester United's
15:30
ineffectiveness. So, quality wise, I think we're
15:33
just awful on all aspects. Sad, I think if we're looking at
15:37
it from a like, you know, glass half-full perspective.
15:39
Maybe we are good enough to challenge for top four.
15:41
But if we're looking at it, just from is magistrate, had a good
15:44
enough is Manchester United lacking quality.
15:47
Yes, we're not good at all. Yeah, definitely.
15:54
I didn't know boiling the on the screen is just everything is so,
16:00
so passionate coming over. I can feel it.
16:06
The fact that John still waiting and I'm here in my morning
16:11
colors. Still feeling the last from
16:13
Sunday. Yeah, Jason.
16:17
I don't know if you want to go next to.
16:21
Yeah, look John obviously, wonderful to have you here and
16:24
this this passion that you have for football.
16:27
It's crazy. My question.
16:29
Maybe a but different but unrelated to football, but does
16:34
this passion extend? Two different sporting codes?
16:36
If so, which ones in the state outside the states?
16:39
And if there's a favorite team outside man united just Yahweh.
16:42
Does that wait, is that like, I mean, obviously football's not
16:46
the biggest in the u.s. Obviously trying to grow the
16:48
game. So Waiters, Is you what is your
16:52
interests lie in like the traditional American Sports?
16:56
Oh, well, I appreciate that question.
16:57
Quite a lot of. Wow.
16:58
I'm not been on a podcast or somebody asked me.
17:00
Some like that's fantastic. Thank you so much.
17:04
Let's see. I grew up in America playing
17:06
American football and basketball goes to the two sports.
17:09
Obviously the bigger Sports here in the states.
17:12
I fell in love with football as from a, from a spectator
17:14
perspective because you can't, there's not really many people
17:17
here that play football finding grass fields or even turf fields
17:21
here in New York city is in possible.
17:23
You know what I visited London? When I visited Manchester,
17:25
there's five aside areas where you can come in and pay and play
17:29
and things like that, which I found very nice.
17:30
At least you could play five aside here in Erica in New York
17:33
in particular, that's impossible.
17:35
If you play football, if you have time to play football, you
17:37
have to wake up and excuse my French, but you have to wake up
17:40
in the ass crack of dawn because from like 6:00 a.m.
17:42
All the way till 10 p.m. It's booked by like some team
17:45
who has Insurance, who has a team permit on the field and you
17:48
can't even play. So it's like it inhibited me
17:50
from playing. So I used to play football and
17:51
iced American football. And I used to play soccer and I
17:54
used to get involved with a lot of other sports, but the first
17:57
sport, of course, just answer your question that I really
17:59
truly watch was American Football and the New York Giants
18:01
here in America. We're is my team, but I funnily
18:07
enough. Maybe it's just my luck.
18:10
Every team that I sport is just ass New York Giants completely
18:14
ask their our team that has history, but for some reason now
18:17
they have Don't even get me started, New York Knicks.
18:20
Another team is sort of support, but I didn't really follow as
18:22
much as Giants, but New York Knicks, another basketball team
18:25
and institution mind you. There's teams near New York,
18:28
Knicks are very similar in terms of education and that from a
18:30
commercial perspective. There are Powerhouse their team
18:32
here in New York City in Madison Square Garden.
18:35
The amount of Revenue that they generate being a shit.
18:39
Team is unreal. Imagine if there were an amazing
18:41
team, the money that would be coming in would be crazy.
18:43
But for some reason, Manchester United and and York Knicks seems
18:46
to share that share. That identity in that sense.
18:50
So teams around me. I just, maybe, it's me.
18:52
Maybe I'm the problem supporting New York teams, registered
18:54
writing, but just overall perspective.
18:56
Yet. I think the Giants are the
18:58
American Football thing was a something that I really used to
19:01
watch quite often. That, that is dope.
19:05
That is crazy. Yeah, that is my question for
19:08
the segment, good to hear something other than the man
19:11
united Direction. Guy was gonna burst an artery or
19:14
something. It sounded like he was going
19:23
down the same path. Way.
19:24
We're talking about the Giants and the Knicks as well.
19:27
Yeah. Yeah, hi John.
19:42
I hope I get this right and younger say, oh, yeah, also,
19:46
yep, you got that, right. So my plan, my palate, cleanser
19:54
question. Probably becomes a loss goes for
19:57
you. So why?
19:59
Manchester United wow? First of all palate, cleansers,
20:04
fantastic. Oh my goodness.
20:06
So you guys just I'm I was about to have lunch.
20:08
I don't need that anymore. Fantastic.
20:10
Thank you for that question. Why Manchester United?
20:12
That's a great question. I get that question asked quite
20:14
often for me. It was a team.
20:17
Of course, let's look at it. Let's look at it from the facts.
20:19
At the end of the day, Manchester United are team based
20:22
in Manchester. So from beside the geographical
20:25
connection, I don't really we as fans outside of Manchester have
20:29
to find other means of connecting with the team.
20:32
For me. It was very Well, for me, it was
20:34
the sighting of decent Park ji, Sung Park was a player that was
20:37
so close to my heart and a team that allowed Jesus.
20:40
First of all, Jason park has had many issues from a very long
20:42
time. He was supposed to go to Chelsea
20:44
undergoes hiddink when he took over the job from PSV to Chelsea
20:48
after the Korean national team job.
20:50
And who knows, maybe I would have been a Chelsea fan, but for
20:54
me the fact that Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson
20:57
Charles Ferguson, by the way was still, he was still a force to
21:01
be, he would even around. The time when he started, he was
21:04
a force to be reckoned with. And in for somebody as powerful
21:06
as Sir Alex Ferguson to trust somebody like Jesus and park for
21:10
me was Was everything I needed to support a team.
21:15
The reason why I fell in love with matches Shetty was the
21:18
reception of decent Park. We've seen ji Sung Park, get
21:21
tormented many times at PSV and I know oven, of course, you
21:25
know, when things got better, they gave him an amazing chance,
21:27
and yeah, whatever and things like that.
21:29
But Asian players in particular have not found it.
21:31
So easy, especially playing in Europe.
21:34
There are plenty of players before Jesus and park that, you
21:39
know, try to make their name or, you know, have Names cemented in
21:44
the football history. Jason Park was the player that
21:47
really for me summed it up in the sense that Asian players
21:50
have a chance in Europe. And I think she's in part.
21:52
Absolutely some indefinite for me and he felt he was loved and
21:55
adored by so many Magic. Should I fans across the world?
21:57
And I think that that to me made me feel like not only is the
22:00
team that's our Alex Ferguson and what message that has stood
22:02
for important, but also the fan base, I think that's very
22:04
important for me as well. I want to know that my supporter
22:08
base, the people that stand behind the stand alongside with
22:12
me when we stand behind the club.
22:13
I want to know that that fan base is willing to be open in
22:17
terms of appreciating players. Like Jason Clarke who aren't who
22:22
aren't Asian players, who want really large in numbers,
22:26
especially in the Premier League.
22:27
So that was very important for me.
22:28
And then before I knew it, I just started falling in love
22:30
visiting, the city of Manchester.
22:31
Of course, they meeting The Paddock.
22:33
Guys, the full time, that was team and, and that energy that I
22:36
shared with them. It was so Unforgettable.
22:39
And before I knew it, I was just locked in.
22:41
I had so many people. I'll be here, especially in
22:43
college. There are so many because I
22:46
attended a university was a lot of international students.
22:48
There are coming from all over the world and I have people from
22:51
England. Also, Liverpool fans, Arsenal
22:53
fans. Chelsea fans didn't have yet to
22:56
see his to City fan, by the way, but those kinds of fans who come
22:59
and be like, hey John, what are you come support?
23:01
This one of you, I almost felt like I was on a show of like,
23:04
The Bachelorette where, like I have all these guys, like,
23:06
trying to, like, seduce me and coax me into supporting their
23:08
team. I would go watch their games at
23:11
a bar like an arsenal. So again at a bar or like us or
23:14
Chelsea gamer games like this, Liverpool games and I never felt
23:17
that energy that connection as I did with mattress United.
23:22
So for me, that's that energy that connection that bond.
23:25
That love as well as hey will be Eternal for me at least.
23:30
That's fine. Yeah, that's definitely still
23:32
have a bucket list item for me. And then we'll be in Spain to
23:35
geography ability. So yeah, that's something I'm
23:38
hoping to do some time in the future as well.
23:41
But yeah, shifting away from Manchester United now for a bit.
23:45
We'll see you in Jason. I'm just going to give you a
23:47
sort of a blended question to the both of you both Arsenal and
23:52
Newcastle have been on the rise over the past few weeks.
23:56
You think this will they will be able to To sustain their form
24:00
over the next three months or so until the season ends Jason you
24:05
can go first. Yeah.
24:07
Look, it's it's interesting because it comes into a period.
24:10
Now. We also shown a little bit of
24:12
consistency and we've spoken on this channel about how the, the
24:17
top fours obviously locked in with the first two doing really
24:19
well. So that enforce, this is
24:21
literally just going to be decided by who can be most
24:23
consistent and also have strong some good results together.
24:26
It's great, all of that same thing.
24:29
Into left. I think we've got of that team.
24:31
You got, like seven games away from them.
24:34
So, coming back to the consistency thing.
24:36
I think if we are able to string those wins together because it
24:40
seems happy playing with some real unity.
24:42
And yeah, I do recall the times we also in the current like
24:47
transitional period, very confusing face that man united
24:50
find themselves in. Now we at, you, you watch this
24:53
game because every game you think that could change, you
24:55
know, literally just takes that one, two games to really change
24:58
the And I just at sucks the life out of you sometimes, but it's
25:04
actually been a good few weeks to be an Arsenal fan.
25:07
And I think many people who see me now, they'd actually see me
25:10
wearing more of my Arsenal merchandise, which is once in a
25:13
while, you know, you have to wait it when you feel proud
25:16
sometimes. So yeah, going to this tiny
25:19
thing. I think we should be good to go.
25:21
Just seeing as we don't have as much other things to whatever.
25:26
Yeah, so it's literally just like to focus on so I'd like To
25:29
believe that we'd be able to stick that forth in and then
25:32
just run away with that. Hopefully fingers crossed.
25:35
Yeah, you know, I just want to actually add to that.
25:37
I've been watching a lot of other like football from other
25:40
other non Manchester United Team.
25:41
Just, I just kind of want to see if I can improve continue to
25:43
improve. I'm so busy that I really,
25:45
really even have time. I barely have time to just watch
25:48
my charity games, but I made it an effort to watch.
25:50
Other teams that I watched Arsenal play wolves, which was
25:52
an important game for Arsenal, and as much as I personally,
25:57
speaking, as much as I would have wanted preferred wolf.
25:59
Has to win. I couldn't help, but feel that
26:02
arsenal were going to win the way that they were dictating the
26:05
game that the way that work. They were growing into that
26:07
game. The energy that players like
26:09
Sokka. As for me, I love players.
26:11
Like, I know Smith wrote players like that, who continue to fight
26:14
and who continue to show the positivity?
26:17
That's what you want to see on a team that's fighting and you can
26:20
and four matches United fans in particular.
26:22
There. We have no we have every reason
26:24
to be afraid because Arsenal right now are on the incline and
26:27
with conviction. That's the most important thing.
26:29
That fight. I mean, I've seen over the
26:31
years. How many times met our Arsenal
26:33
fans have slagged off? Lacazette that game against
26:36
wolves. Lacazette was doing so much to
26:38
create and when he scored that goal and then I was like, okay,
26:41
let me know when they when he got to that point it towards the
26:44
end. I think it might actually might
26:46
have been an own goal. But I think it was like is
26:47
actually finished it but I remember thinking.
26:50
Wow, this is scary because the like the way they were
26:53
celebrating the passion and the fight that they had throughout
26:56
the entirety of the match because wolf side.
26:59
Whoops, I did they I think they kind of, you know, messed it up
27:02
on their own. And because I think once they
27:04
had that lead, and once they felt like, okay, this kind of
27:06
this game is kind of getting, you know, be taken away from us.
27:08
They just completely locked in and I think it was our souls for
27:10
the taking but that energy was. So I was jealous of that.
27:14
I mean the fact that Martinelli was while flying around the
27:17
place. The fact that Nicholas Pepe came
27:18
on and scored a goal. The fact that all these Good
27:21
Vibes were happening. For Arsenal, made mention.
27:23
I defense feel a little more comfortable.
27:25
And I and to be quite honest with you, this this fight for
27:28
Manchester. Is going to be difficult,
27:30
especially the top four with Arsenal playing so well, yeah.
27:33
Yeah, definitely. Assuming you want to be around
27:37
us of on your discussion today? Yep, with regards to do cause I
27:41
think it's a similar cases to Austin.
27:44
I think it's a club that's going on the app and with 80 are
27:48
coming in. I think it took some time
27:50
because it's a similar situation to again Manchester United Way,
27:54
the mentality of the team was so down that the players had no
27:57
confidence. They had no tactics.
27:59
No, there was no system under Steve, Bruce.
28:01
Arena, video came in he needed. Too slowly, you know, implant is
28:06
towards his vision, for the club, the style of football,
28:08
that he wanted to play and that took time, but now that it's
28:11
been installed in the team, we can see that there's already
28:15
been some consistency and beaten in 2022.
28:18
I'd games unbeaten at the moment.
28:20
So it shows that there's already been some sort of consistency
28:22
because we normally play one or two games, and, you know, a
28:25
defeat is around the corner. So I think we can definitely
28:29
between now. And the end of the season,
28:30
maintain this consistency. We obviously lose a few games.
28:33
Here, and they have no doubt, but I think the fact that it's
28:37
got the spine of the team, very strong.
28:39
Now, to see the backs of playing very well.
28:42
The full-backs are doing well as well.
28:43
And then it's got a Midfield three of Joe Linton Charles V
28:46
and will occur are doing exceptionally well as well.
28:48
So when you've got a spine that strong and everyone, you know,
28:51
knowing the it'll be watch the game recently.
28:54
We while the striker was was covering food with one of the
28:59
winners who basically went up the field and just everyone Just
29:03
knows that all now, you know, we we, as previously it was kind of
29:07
all over the show. So I think that should lend
29:10
itself to see us be more consistent with.
29:13
Now, the end of the season, I should, we I think we should be
29:15
fine with regards to safety for the season.
29:19
Yeah. I'm just just last point there.
29:22
Sorry, if it's that by that Newcastle have, which I feel to
29:28
man United's case. It's partially I don't think
29:31
everybody's bought into right Nick in the short period.
29:33
Yet and it seems like this is that half heartedness in the
29:37
team and obviously he's he's under the showtime.
29:41
Contact, moving to different position getting somebody else.
29:44
I think that's definitely what might separate in this next few
29:47
weeks coming up. Is if everybody, okay, I can
29:48
just find the situation that we are in.
29:50
Let's try and get out of it. Let's sort it out over the
29:52
summer. Let's do this.
29:53
And that I think that would definitely separate and it could
29:56
possibly move them into a stronger pushing for.
30:00
Yeah, I mean they still Champions League.
30:02
Nobody knows Cup competitions, weird.
30:03
Interleague. So, yeah, it's definitely there
30:09
Clark. I think that's the difference
30:10
between hiding an interim manager and hiring.
30:12
A permanent manager. Permanent manager.
30:15
You can buy into, you know, who's going to be there for the
30:17
next two to three years. Avoiding.
30:20
The badges are speculating with video.
30:22
I think that they saw a certain sort of vision that he's laid
30:27
out. And I think the players are 42
30:30
with them interview like injured and like, even In that, whatever
30:34
it is Irv's, that they have, they breaking, they're breaking
30:37
the about for, for the team. They putting in the hard yards.
30:41
And I mean, they, in terms of quality.
30:45
They under base path. They are hardworking and they
30:48
they get the job done. And I think that's all that you
30:51
that you want and all that you need in a delegation scrap.
30:55
And yeah, I completely agree. I think, I think very skeptic
30:58
dropping. I think they escaped it quite
31:00
comfortably come into the season.
31:03
But yeah, I think that's all that we have time for today.
