Last Chance Waiver Pickups & GW35 Ranking Update I Ep: 132 · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
Hello and welcome to episode 132.
0:03
I'm with Enzo, my name is Keith. We are missing our third member
0:09
for the night, but he might join later.
0:11
Any comments on that Enzo? I don't need him.
0:14
We don't need him. We don't need him.
0:18
All right, anything. So we're going to go over
0:21
waivers, we're going to talk to some some news and notes
0:24
anything you want to chat about before?
0:25
Congratulations on the victory. First one in 180 some days.
0:30
How'd it feel? You feel sweet.
0:32
I put my wife on edge. She was sitting next to me when
0:35
we scored the goal and then she saw me in friend teeth say he's
0:38
offside, he has to be outside, that's his.
0:41
You don't score goals. And he was way on side.
0:43
I was like fuck. Yeah, it looked offside.
0:46
The first time it did, it was very offside.
0:48
I. Was like, no, it's offside.
0:49
I was like, it's talking outside.
0:51
It's a waste of time. But yeah, no, it was
0:53
bittersweet. Lost to Lanky in the four year,
0:56
then lost Simmons for the whole season in the second-half so.
1:00
You know, the sad thing about the Simmons losing Simmons was
1:03
that it felt like he was just starting to really become like a
1:06
like another leader on the team. But like that creative spark,
1:09
like that exciting player, every time he got the ball, you were
1:11
like, OK, what's he going to do this time?
1:13
Yeah. Then for that to happen, it's
1:14
just like another soul crushing. But the bread side is.
1:20
But James Master came on for the last 10 minutes.
1:23
Did he not or did he not? I just did, I hallucinate that.
1:26
Did you hallucinate that I didn't see Madison?
1:29
Come on. I would have lost my mind.
1:31
Now I'm going to have to double train.
1:32
Now I'm double guessing myself. I saw him on the bench for.
1:36
Sure, he's definitely on the bench, but he still felt pain so
1:38
he's literally there as a. Like moral support?
1:41
Moral support and a leader. And some people are saying
1:44
that's not going to work. But I said it's badly put
1:45
bringing on a kid who's we're not going to fall on, you know
1:48
what? I mean, you know, he probably
1:50
didn't play. I can't imagine this I.
1:52
Don't think he did either but I could be wrong.
1:54
No he didn't. He didn't play, he stayed on the
1:56
bench. OK, well, I always say to that
2:00
I'm glad that got cleared out. I think they they definitely
2:02
were cutting to him a lot. Then yeah, they kept calling to
2:04
him because he's there for like a movie motivating leader.
2:08
OK, OK. OK.
2:10
Interesting. All right.
2:12
Should we end the waivers? Scan of waivers, man.
2:14
All right, First name on here. So I kind of broke it up.
2:17
I broke it up. The first section is just normal
2:19
waivers. We'll do a few names there.
2:20
First name on there Igor Jesus 48% owned well, he scored three
2:25
goals in his last four games. Force kind of cooking right now.
2:28
I think he's just one of those like ride the Lightning plays,
2:32
and I thought the the most interesting thing was that him
2:34
and his use or him and Wood played together and in a very
2:38
vintage 442. Very vintage 442 and it.
2:41
What? Yeah, It looked good.
2:43
It was fun. It looked good.
2:44
Yeah, I guess. I mean, when Gibbs White is
2:46
cooking like that, it's kind of kind of shitting.
2:48
Did you watch the game? I watched it, yes.
2:50
Yeah, I watched the game too. Before it just looked like they
2:52
were having they were having fun puffing on us.
2:55
It felt like there was, you know, they, they scored and then
2:58
there was like a MO, like the three goals were scored in like
3:01
6 minutes or something like that.
3:02
So it's just a little, it was a little chaotic, right?
3:04
Yeah, the first goal was a little, you know, advantageous.
3:07
Like no fan trust with sister for hey Zeus, no deflection off
3:11
the defender, but enough. Today it was just boom, boom,
3:14
boom, boom boom boom. Yeah.
3:16
Pressure, pressure, pressure. So that that looks like a team
3:20
that's fighting for survival. Yeah, You know what I mean?
3:23
So I'm. Fully, fully, fully, fully,
3:26
yeah. And I think that's a good one.
3:27
Ego has used, you know, it's it's fun.
3:30
It's a fun one for especially with right now.
3:32
I mean, it's just like the games you want to watch are the teams
3:34
at the very top of the league and the team the very bottom of
3:36
the league, and that's one of the better ones at the bottom.
3:39
Yes, I agree. Judd Spence next 35% owned win
3:43
wing back for this new system under Ripper to Deserby.
3:47
It seems like both him and Pedro Poro have scored really well,
3:49
actually. Pedro Poro's running up as #3 in
3:54
the EPL Fantasy Heat Index at www.draft.size.com if you want
3:58
to check it out. And yeah, I mean, his last three
4:02
scores are 50.2523 and then 14.25.
4:04
So he's had three solid games under RBRDZ.
4:08
That's Pedro Poro. Jed Spence, on the other hand, I
4:12
think he just came in this game, was redogged with injured.
4:14
Yeah, but I think he had a really good score, too.
4:16
I think it was. I think it was the same.
4:17
I think it was 15.0. Really.
4:19
Yeah. So if you have faith in them
4:21
staying up and you believe in like the wing back, I mean, the
4:24
wing backs of old, you know, there was a period of time a few
4:27
years ago where wing backs felt like a cheat code.
4:29
And then in the last few years, that's kind of not as much the
4:31
case because that was many good teams are using using them.
4:35
Yeah, I think, I think, Tinko said a couple weeks ago with the
4:38
zombies, his wind backs did do well.
4:41
Yeah. And even if they, yeah, even if
4:43
they're playing like A4, whatever, like they're just the
4:45
right and the left back are just getting really high up the
4:47
field. So unless I see Jed Spence doing
4:49
a lot better, it's, it's all about Dave Benson put a cross
4:52
into the box with his left foot. You know, I mean, that's, that's
4:54
what's holding back. Yeah, that's a good one.
4:57
OK, next Ben Batman 37% owned. Keep calling this out.
5:01
I just think that it's it's crazy, just his drop off of of
5:05
ownership because the fan tracks lied to us and now that he's
5:08
back and this face didn't actually break, he's doing
5:13
really well. I mean, he had 14 ghosts against
5:16
Arsenal this week and he doesn't really have the hardest
5:19
schedule. I think it's Brighton.
5:21
West and then. After that there's like a few,
5:23
it's like West Ham Forest and then Fulham maybe or something
5:26
like games that are, you know, I guess the only concern would be
5:29
that West Ham Forest are fighting for their lives.
5:31
Yeah, and they honestly W Newcastle hasn't been playing
5:35
the best and they've lost Aaron Gordon for the last couple of
5:38
days. Gordon.
5:39
Ansi Gordon, Sorry. But he but it sounds like he
5:41
might be back or be game then decision for this week.
5:44
But we'll see. You never know those things.
5:47
Yeah. OK.
5:49
Another one, another repeat. Timothy Castagna, 18% owned.
5:52
Another week, another strong score.
5:54
Still wildly under owned. So worth putting in here again.
5:59
I felt like, I bet you there's still a lot, a lot of leagues
6:02
where he's not owned. I think a lot of that has to do
6:04
with the fact that he's not the sexiest name you know.
6:07
Yeah, what's what did he, what did he put up this week?
6:10
I think he put up really good numbers this week.
6:11
And Denny, what was the number? Like I think it was 10.5.
6:15
That's really good for for what you get from him, what you
6:19
expect to get from him. Yeah, fully.
6:22
I think it's, I mean his last three weeks are 131210.5 and I
6:25
think that's his fourth in a row with a with a double digit.
6:29
So it's that time of the season, guys.
6:31
You can't just sit on the players that you're hoping will
6:33
do well for the rest of the seasons.
6:35
There's only a few games left. Rob the hot head.
6:37
Yeah exactly another one on here I have Mateus tell slash
6:41
Richarlson yeah Richarlson's over 50%.
6:44
I think he but he's still he's probably about won a lot of
6:46
leagues. I just think the injuries just
6:47
locked in Simmons open the door for and and like this
6:51
potentially more attacking where Bridget's every team Richie got
6:54
the assist this week so that's always worth looking at.
6:57
I mean he's definitely he gets about it he gets involved.
6:59
He can be really frustrating, but he also like can score big
7:02
goals and usually we'll get a yellow card after he scores a
7:06
big goal. So it's really, it's not quite
7:08
like a 10 point score. It's more like an 8.
7:10
But it's more like an assist than at the goal when he scores.
7:12
Yeah, because he's fucking to. The yellow is almost guaranteed.
7:15
But and then Matias Tao, I thought he like, he's looked
7:18
good. He looked good off the left
7:19
prior desire to be coming in. Yeah.
7:22
So with Simmons gone, he'll probably be the guy in that
7:25
position. And you'd hope that he'll look
7:27
good. But it's again, it's hard to
7:28
know with like a new coach, new system, if he can do, if he can
7:32
be as consistent. So concerns, but interested.
7:36
Yeah, could be good, Could be. Could be good.
7:39
So I'll surprisingly when a Tottenham player is on the on
7:42
the waiver is here. Well, I have another I have
7:44
another section that I'm calling sloppy seconds or one man's
7:47
trash, another man's treasure. And it's essentially the double
7:49
game week blank players that might have been dropped.
7:53
I think it's worth going into your league and looking at the
7:56
the six teams that didn't play this week, which are Brighton,
7:59
City, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Burnley, Leeds and I just seen
8:05
who's available just because there might, there might even be
8:07
some that are above 50% drop that people's needed to drop
8:10
players for. I know I had to drop Kristen off
8:12
for the league and it felt. Really gross.
8:14
Yeah, felt really, really gross. I had to drop Henschelwood and
8:17
Wefer in a couple leagues and. Yeah, we for kind of betrayed
8:20
you. This double game we got for that
8:22
monster week, that one before. Oh, look who it is.
8:27
That is a That is a beautiful angle my friend.
8:30
I actually get bad Wi-Fi. I'm actually probably going to
8:34
do service so, but I just wanted to jump on and say I'm still
8:36
first place, I rule, you guys suck, yadda yadda yadda.
8:41
And then, yeah. That's about it.
8:44
OK, well hang out for until you can, but OK anyway, so that the
8:48
six teams so just hop in through the teams that had the blanks
8:52
the gone Brighton first. I think Hinsel and Reuter are
8:55
the two guys we're looking at still under 50% on 2 action
9:00
options. Reuter has kind of been, he's
9:03
had moments throughout the last few years and he hasn't been.
9:05
He's been out of form the last few weeks.
9:06
We scored in the last two games or he had a golden assist, I
9:10
think Golden assist. To goal, yeah.
9:12
And then so I think there's something there, especially if
9:14
he gets another start. Hinsel Wood is interesting and
9:17
he continues a solid run. I just the thing with him is his
9:19
ghosting is so poor and it's like a weird it's a weird thing
9:23
where he's not like super enticing when you look like
9:25
added underlying numbers, but he's continuing to deliver with
9:28
like a goal of an assist. So, but it's just, it seems like
9:31
he's incredibly quiet, like he'll just disappearing games
9:33
sometimes. So we lost something.
9:36
That was an interesting experience.
9:38
There you go. Thank God.
9:40
Okay, but yeah, so Bretton, those are the two I think you
9:43
should look for everything, but those are the 2 that are
9:45
probably gonna be available. Another option would be bus,
9:49
Cargley Dunk. Interesting, surprisingly kept a
9:53
spot even though dunk was back off suspension.
9:56
I think it was just a reward for him playing really well.
9:58
We'll see if after the double game week if he still holds the
10:01
spot. I'd be fairly surprised he dunks
10:02
kind of one of the team leaders. Yeah, but either or I think are
10:06
worth they're worth running, you know, if whichever one of them
10:10
is playing. So that's one of those things
10:11
maybe you wait and see till till match match ups, you know till
10:14
like morning of. But was looking at OK, on the
10:18
City side, the the player, the biggest one is Kusanov.
10:22
I think he's had he had two really, really good games in the
10:27
in the double game week. I think he's ended up scoring
10:29
like north of 20 some point, yeah.
10:31
With the clean sheet. Yeah, he's he's just been kind
10:34
of electric as a as a defensive player late in the season when
10:37
you need that and the run in. And if you think that City guy,
10:40
I've said this before, but if you think City's going to do it,
10:44
then he's going to continue to be a good fantasy asset.
10:47
Yeah. Great.
10:50
What's he like? What is his value right now, do
10:52
you think? Yeah, would you be trading like,
10:54
what would you be trading for him?
10:55
Would you like if someone was like trying to trade you Pedro
10:57
Netta for Kustov, would you take that?
11:00
No. You keep Kustov.
11:01
I could Kusanov, it's up right now.
11:03
This, this part of the season is so hard to trade, is so hard to
11:07
trade like someone you're going to, you're going to help.
11:10
It has to be so has to be perfect.
11:15
There's no like, there's no ifs, no buts.
11:17
There's only four games left. It has to be a perfectly even
11:20
helps out both side trades which you rarely see perfectly honest
11:25
so. Yeah, it's very true.
11:27
I just had to think of like, you know, I think now you're almost
11:30
looking at because you're looking at such short windows
11:32
Atomic. We're like, for some teams, it's
11:34
what, three games left, four games left.
11:36
So like who would you be giving up if you if you need defender?
11:40
So say you had an extra midfielder, would you give up an
11:42
Anderson from Forest? No, I'm not going to Anderson,
11:46
but like I would like, I would say maybe like if you're like
11:48
Anthony Gordon right now has this injury niggle, I might, I
11:52
might, I might train him for Kuso.
11:53
But if you're a Kusanovo now, you're going to take that that
11:56
niggle at the end of the season with four.
11:57
Games. No.
11:59
Yeah, yeah. It's just tough.
12:01
It's tough waiver wire, baby. That's why we got this here.
12:04
Yeah, so said that on the City side, that's really the only one
12:07
that keep an eye unless City players are owned on the Chelsea
12:09
side, the next next double game, we blank team.
12:12
There's really no one used to be looking at like legitimately
12:15
that's under. I mean, you, you still look and
12:17
see if anyone's dropped, but there's no one that's like under
12:20
50% elimination. As I say, yeah, yeah, who?
12:23
Does it comes? I think the only ones I kind of
12:25
want to shout out is like Robert Sanchez has been playing quite
12:28
well and there might be some these where he's available just
12:30
because keepers are weird like that.
12:32
Yeah. And like sometimes keepers get
12:33
dropped and then Trevor Chaliba is back and he had a pretty long
12:37
term injury that they thought was going to be much worse.
12:40
So there might be a lot of leagues where he was dropped,
12:42
but they're still over 50% on. So it's not likely.
12:44
But I just maybe those would be the ones that I'd call out is
12:46
like we're we're thinking about it searching, I guess.
12:50
All right. On the Bournemouth side, Alex
12:52
Jimenez is the name I have on here.
12:54
OK. He's just had a strong, he's had
12:56
strong patches throughout the season and he had a he had a, he
12:59
had an OK double game week, not nothing spectacular, but I think
13:02
with I think the games are palace full of forest left.
13:06
So I think that's interesting. I wouldn't.
13:08
I wouldn't, not I wouldn't forget about Petrovich.
13:13
The goalkeeper, yeah, if he's available too.
13:15
I think he's over. I think he's owned over the
13:17
percentage, really. People kept them during the
13:20
blank, huh? I guess so.
13:22
Wow. Yeah, some people just toughed
13:23
it out. Good for them.
13:26
Burnley, Burnley, the name, not having, it's a tried and true
13:30
JWP, that kind of play with fire, you get burned.
13:32
But if you're desperate he's there's always a chance he can
13:35
get something going. Just the amount of set pieces
13:38
he's on and the way he throws balls into the box with his
13:41
feet. Yeah.
13:43
He, I mean, since delivery is so good, so yeah, that's always the
13:46
one there leads. I really like Air Tanaka.
13:49
I like him a lot. I really like Air Tanaka.
13:50
He, he had one good game, he had one kind of miracle game he
13:54
played against Chelsea this week.
13:55
He just sees really cool and calm on the ball and it's
13:57
pretty, pretty enjoyable to watch him and I could see him
14:01
doing well. I think the one rub is that
14:02
stash, stash came back. So the concern there would be
14:05
that can they play, can they, are they playing together?
14:09
Is that is that Sasha's role and Tanaka's kind of filling in for
14:12
it? Yeah, I like Tanaka too.
14:14
He's always looking to put a ball fruit.
14:16
That's worth guessing these points.
14:18
Yeah, the other one I would say just look at all the defenders,
14:21
who's a bunch, but the defender I like is Jaden Bogle, just and
14:24
that's and that 352 or whatever, however you want to say they
14:27
play it. He gets pretty high up the
14:29
field. So I like when there's a like we
14:31
talked about wingbacks earlier, but like the ability for him to
14:34
just be high up the field you're running at players.
14:36
I think he's like he's, he's kind of passing the eye test in
14:38
that way, even on like a, on one of the lower teams what I call,
14:42
you know. Yeah, only defended school
14:45
pretty well Struck and Pedu, who's playing in the midfield.
14:48
So I was going to go through, I have the I have the heat index
14:51
updated on the site right now it's missing it's obviously.
14:54
So we're recording on April 26th.
14:56
So we're missing the Monday game.
14:58
So but that'll be updated when it comes through.
15:00
But. When it comes through.
15:01
But yeah, but so under the three-game weeks, like the the
15:05
three-game week metric, Jared Boboy is now officially the
15:09
hottest player. Is it 2A7 then a 32?
15:13
Oh yeah, he's been tearing it up, man.
15:15
He's been. Tearing it up.
15:16
Morgan gives white knacks with that. 23 this week, 35 last
15:19
week, then a really bad 2.5 the week before the 3rd that I
15:23
mentioned earlier. Pedro Poro 15 point 252314.25.
15:27
Pretty interesting scores, you know?
15:29
I mean no there's none. None like crazy.
15:32
KDH is a really interesting one on here. 1413.519.5 He scored
15:37
the goal this week. You're on the three-game week,
15:39
huh? Yeah, I'm on the three, so yeah.
15:43
But there's been some interesting, interesting players
15:46
of some interesting shuffles. Pedro Poro jumped up 199 spots.
15:50
It'd be up here, which is cool. And I'm looking at the five game
15:53
weekend member panels went up 59.
15:54
He's number one in the five week that's.
15:56
Crazy. Yeah.
15:57
I mean, when you look at this, yeah, even after a pretty poor
16:00
game, he just had some. He had so many strong games.
16:03
That'll change, though, probably with like Bruno playing next.
16:05
Unless Bruno. Yeah, tomorrow, yeah.
16:08
Yeah, yeah, interesting, interesting.
16:09
OK, so we go into news and notes.
16:12
Starting news and notes. So I think we talked about the
16:15
top of the show, but Tottenham about their first win in 2026.
16:18
Yep. You mentioned that's the sloppy
16:20
injury. You mentioned Zabi Simmons.
16:23
Did you know that Zabi Simmons knee injury is the 6th knee
16:27
injury Tom was that? I did not know that, but that is
16:30
that speaks to me of something that is deeply wrong with how
16:34
they're training. That's what I'm thinking.
16:36
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
16:38
Like there's, there's, I remember Chelsea maybe last
16:41
year, maybe it was two years ago, I had a similar thing where
16:43
a lot of players were getting injuries and they actually, I,
16:45
I'm this was like rumor that they tied it down to that they
16:48
were doing certain exercises and straight strengthen like some
16:51
parts of the knee and not others.
16:54
And not intentionally. They were just like the routine
16:55
they're doing was like strengthening certain things so
16:57
that when they, when they burst, it was like it was causing
17:01
strains. Yeah, Yeah.
17:02
But it seems like the type of thing you could analyze and, and
17:04
like fix, you know? Yeah, yeah, like should be able
17:07
to. But it's been happening.
17:08
We're talking for like 2 years now.
17:09
Well, no. Two years ago was hamstrings.
17:12
Remember. Because they were doing the
17:14
sprints because we're playing our highline and we figured out
17:16
that that's what that was, but now it's gone from hamstrings to
17:19
knees to knees anyway. OK, so ranked, ranked these
17:25
three Rich Arlson, tell Ko Milani who you who do you have
17:29
to have rest of season? Rich Arlson, That's exactly how
17:31
I ranked them, Rich Arlson tells Color.
17:34
So that's your. I would probably go tell Rich
17:37
Arlson personally. But yeah, the only reason why I
17:40
do that is because Rich Arlson's been in this position before and
17:44
he's going to fight, fight, fight.
17:46
Intel's not had that good of a run in with the zombie and
17:49
Kolo's been in the freaking team and has done nothing.
17:52
Nothing. Yeah, I think, I think the
17:55
Richard also think too is he's fairly guaranteed.
17:59
Like now it's like, yeah, he's pretty much guaranteed to start.
18:01
Oh yeah, he's and then Intel's probably not as locked in.
18:04
But the one reason, the reason that I do rank to hire, I think
18:06
his ghosts. So that's that's my logic.
18:10
But I think both makes sense. Anyone else talk about that?
18:13
We talked about the wing backs. How did the center backs play
18:16
for them? Don so didn't make a mistake
18:19
this game so fine. VDV was good, but I think it was
18:23
the fact that we had the Suma sitting right in front and then
18:27
we had Pauline Paulinia sit right in front, so I reinforced
18:31
the back tip. So it looked like like Danza
18:35
actually scored these I mean scored double digits for the
18:37
first time in a while yeah yeah, exactly the end of end 13.75.
18:43
So you weren't mad at that but yeah, I know all right next one
18:47
Hammers got the extra time winner.
18:48
That was, I mean that was Speaking of these these games
18:52
are obviously so linked right now like yeah, speaking by the
18:55
other, but that there was about a 4 minute period where you guys
18:58
were winning and. And out relegation.
19:01
And out relegation. But then that, that went away
19:03
pretty quickly. That went away pretty quickly
19:06
and you can see it in the fans. It was horrible.
19:08
Still a huge win though. Oh yeah, yeah, we need because
19:11
if we didn't win, we definitely like, that's it.
19:13
I think we've been done mentally.
19:15
Yeah, I think emotionally would have really had to come back.
19:19
Yeah. So Wilson came in clutch.
19:22
So was how did that, how did it go?
19:23
So it was a corner, the bone corner for the first one.
19:27
And this one was from SU Check. Yeah, header in from SU check
19:31
and then. I originally equalized.
19:34
Equalized. KH Tarkowski knocked down KH
19:38
goal and then. The lost all this time it was
19:42
across from the left hand side. Bowen headers it back across.
19:46
I thought that was the plan. I thought the Bowen, the Bowen
19:48
Hatter to me was almost more impressive than the Wilson
19:51
finish, which is a great finish. It was a great finish.
19:53
There's still a lot of gold from the A man, but he still had
19:55
three people in front of them, so we still finish it so.
19:57
I think like that Bowen play. I don't, I when I look at that
20:00
team, it's like, to me it's like Bowen single handedly kind of
20:02
keeping them. Up Bowen was my first round pick
20:05
in the main league and he was absolutely terrible.
20:08
He was pretty bad at the first what, third of the season and
20:11
the. 1st and this back end of the season he is he's I think
20:15
he's back in the top ten top. Scores, Yeah, I mean, I just, I
20:19
mean, I just said he's the number one in the heat ranking
20:21
right now amongst 3 game week. Yeah.
20:24
Metrics and yeah, so thank you, Bowen, thank you.
20:28
Yeah, he's been he's been he's been good.
20:29
Fuck you. It's been fun, yeah.
20:34
I mean, looking at whoever, I mean, who else is doing well in
20:37
that team? I mean, obviously Alhaj, Malik,
20:39
Duf, he was some of that I think we had on waivers last week.
20:42
Yeah, he had a good, he had a really good game, 18.25
20:46
obviously just to check with the goal.
20:47
Obviously, Yeah, yeah. So yeah, that's about scores.
20:50
Kyle Walker Peters taking at that spot of it and 1 Basaka
20:54
8.5. Not bad, not bad, not bad.
20:57
OK, next 4. This is the Friday game Forest
21:00
ruined Sunderland 50. We talked about that.
21:02
I mean, if you just Pretty much every Forest player scored well,
21:06
yeah. I mean, was there anyone that
21:07
like? Didn't really.
21:08
Score. I don't think so.
21:09
Well, I had I had five of them or six of them.
21:12
I had five or six of them and they all freaking scored up more
21:14
in the teens. Yeah, yeah, You got pretty,
21:18
pretty lucky that I had Olay and in the league I was really happy
21:20
about. We always talked about, I mean,
21:23
Morgan's why he followed up that hatchet mount monster hatchet
21:26
game with another like what? What goal in an assist in this
21:29
one? It's really crazy because you
21:32
look at all the players that Tottenham were linked with and
21:35
they bid line it up at the end of the season.
21:39
As a. As a two, yeah.
21:41
Yeah, so a tough run of games for four.
21:44
So to end the season, it's what Villa, obviously they're playing
21:47
Villa and two European leagues and the semi of the was it
21:50
Europa League, right, Europa League.
21:52
And then they played then they played Chelsea, who looks quite
21:56
a bit better without real scenario there with the interim
21:59
manager. Yeah, I played Newcastle, who I
22:01
thought actually looked pretty good against Arsenal, even
22:02
though they didn't get a goal. Yeah.
22:04
Or when they play United, who has been strong.
22:07
And then they played Bournemouth, who's been one of
22:09
the most in force teams in the league.
22:10
So here's my question, if Forest don't win any more games all
22:15
season, are they still staying up?
22:18
No. Do they need they need to win at
22:20
least one of these games? They need to win at least one of
22:21
those games a win a draw, and I think they're safe.
22:24
Are waiting to draw and they're safe, yeah.
22:26
I don't think that's guaranteed though.
22:29
I don't think it's guaranteed either, but again, we're saying
22:32
this is tough opposition and yes it is.
22:34
But forests also have been playing excellent the last three
22:39
games, so I. Mean they're undefeated in their
22:44
last five, I think maybe even in the last six.
22:47
They played Chelsea next, but they're, I mean, I mean,
22:51
Tottenham's in 18th place at 34 and they're at 35.
22:54
So they're 5. Tottenham's five points behind.
22:56
So yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it is.
22:59
I don't think they're out of the woods yet though.
23:01
No, not out of the woods. Yet, like let's say this, if
23:03
Forest loses, Chelsea and Tottenham and West Ham both win,
23:08
it's suddenly it's squeaky bum time.
23:12
Oh definitely squeaky bum time. We're back.
23:14
We're they're right back in there so.
23:16
They're they're right back in the mix, yeah.
23:18
Yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty amazing that that
23:20
all bottom three teams to win like, you know.
23:23
Roy Keane said Tottenham's going to stay up.
23:25
I did see that. That's crazy.
23:27
When he said that, he said it was such distinction.
23:29
He bet his host out and he was like, you're out.
23:32
Just pretty bold, man. Pretty bold, yeah.
23:35
Pretty interesting. I hope he's right.
23:37
OK is that gets first goal after coming back from injury and
23:40
three one win over Palace. It was a it was a good goal and
23:44
it'll scrappy a little weird, but it was a good good him to
23:47
get on the board. We talked about this a few weeks
23:49
ago like that. We didn't really think that he
23:51
was going to. Have that much of an impact?
23:54
Impact when he kind of proved his rhyme, he scored.
23:56
It was like a monster score. I didn't think he did much
23:58
outside of that. Well, let's.
23:59
Let's be fair, when we said it, Ekatika was an injured jet.
24:02
That's true. True.
24:03
So he's probably being forced to play more than was desired,
24:06
right? Yeah, I think so.
24:08
Very true. Does that change?
24:12
I mean with with him there, I mean Rio and Gamo is so
24:15
interesting to me. I don't think at the start this
24:16
week, but I still think that there's potential there.
24:19
It all depends on his fitness. If it's still he's training
24:22
well, I can see Sloss keeping him, especially not like a TK.
24:25
And then with this Salah issue too, it might have to be because
24:30
what if Salah is injured? He has to sail a couple of
24:33
games. It's Frimpong or Kiaza, and it's
24:34
probably going to be Frimpong. I would think so.
24:37
I mean the other option is just some weird, you know,
24:41
combination of like slow to slide playing out wide or
24:43
something. Like that.
24:44
Yeah. Yeah.
24:44
Oh, yeah, they could do that. You're right.
24:45
You're right. But but yeah, I think I think
24:49
it's interesting from, I mean from Pong is talk about a
24:51
disappointment fantasy wise. Just overall, he just hasn't
24:54
really been able to hold on what he was.
24:56
And he didn't really, he didn't be, he wasn't Trent, you know
24:58
what I mean? But he was being drafted like he
25:01
was like going to be Trent Light and he wasn't even Trent Light.
25:04
Yeah, so. Oh, hi, Tico popping in cool
25:08
jersey. That's actually a cool jersey.
25:10
That's actually a very cool jersey.
25:11
Well, you really all getting invested, huh?
25:14
Well, this is well, should we talk about this or I'm assuming
25:18
you guys were talking about Frimpang?
25:20
We were talking about, let's talk about Frimpang.
25:22
We'll talk about this option. Yeah.
25:23
So what do you think? I would say that he's just been
25:25
kind of a disappointment. But I think at this same stage
25:27
of the season, that's if he's available, it's.
25:30
I would take him in this little side.
25:32
Don't get wrong, that's still they're going to get the
25:35
Champions League right. They're top five.
25:36
Yeah, they should be pretty locked in.
25:38
They're pretty locked in, but they want to try to cement that
25:40
to make sure they lost couple games so.
25:42
And they just need someone to play out there.
25:44
It seems like Salah, I mean a hamstring injury.
25:46
He could be. He could be out for the.
25:48
Rest of the things that. Could have been his last.
25:49
That could have been his last game it.
25:51
Could have been his last game. You're right.
25:53
And I think Liverpool's lost couple games.
25:56
Oh well, they go. Let me see.
26:01
Here they go. Man United big game, Chelsea,
26:03
Villa and Brentford. They're not a tough schedule.
26:06
Yeah, that's what I mean. Those are what, top three-game
26:09
like the Chelsea's, you know, Chelsea and then Villa's top
26:14
three and then Brentford's like vying for top like 7.
26:17
So they're all teams in the top half of the table.
26:19
Yeah. Are we for sure Sala's gonna
26:22
miss the game versus United? I mean, the fact that he came up
26:25
with a hamstring injury makes me think that's the case.
26:28
I don't, I haven't Like I don't know if I've heard anything
26:30
additional. It would kind of suck because
26:32
the game is at Old Trafford and I think there was a statistic
26:34
going around, right, that since like, I don't know, like the
26:37
last eight years or whatever, he's some goal scorer.
26:40
Yeah, goal scorer I saw any United players?
26:43
I think the fans would have probably given him some kind of
26:47
honored him in some way. They'll get some analyst spray
26:51
out spraying his hamstring. He should be alright.
26:54
I don't think, I don't know if I don't know if Saul wanted to do
26:56
that. I don't know if they'd want to
26:57
do that. Because at the end of the day,
26:58
they're still going to try and sell him for some money.
27:00
It's not like his, it's not like his career's out there and
27:02
they're like, fuck it. It's it's also going to be
27:04
interesting. I saw a report versus Saudi
27:06
teams are changing their strategy of like just throwing
27:09
all the money at like players, which is also going to impact
27:12
the Vinasia's chance if he if he went there from Real Madrid.
27:15
So they're not going to use the like, hey, here's a good jillion
27:18
dollars to come play for us. Ivan, Tony.
27:20
So I, I, I get that, but I also think the chance for one of the
27:24
Saudi teams assigned like the most prominent, like Muslim
27:28
player is, is like different different.
27:30
It's a different calculation than like a slow bunch of money
27:33
in Vinny Junior. Yeah, yeah.
27:35
It's a little different. So I think in that sense, yeah.
27:38
But I have been seeing that. I've been seeing that the Saudi
27:41
team, it's pretty much like it's going the way of China.
27:43
Is that you feeling that? Way too.
27:44
It's like this starting to. Disappear.
27:46
We all knew this was going to happen.
27:48
Yeah. What's his name?
27:51
Who won the They just won the Cup.
27:52
It's the the you split. The Man City used to know his
27:56
name playing on the right. Marez.
27:58
They just won the Cup, didn't they?
28:00
You still know. His name?
28:02
I couldn't tell you. I don't.
28:04
I don't pay attention to the Saudi League.
28:06
I know Chico tunes. In it's just Fabrizio, man.
28:08
It's like what Chico said. Fabrizio, he posed.
28:10
He's up to date. He's getting.
28:12
Paid. He's getting paid the CP up to
28:13
date. Yeah, Messi, Ronaldo and and the
28:15
Saudi League and then whatever else is going on in Europe.
28:17
Yamal. Yeah, your mom always.
28:21
Holly. Anything on Elise who's, you
28:23
know, top three balance. Oh.
28:24
My God, I think if I had to pick right now between, you know, and
28:28
Elise, if like for for this year, I'd pick Elise, say.
28:30
Oh, Lisa. I'll pick a Lisa.
28:31
Easy, yeah. I mean, if you were, I can see
28:34
the argument if you're trying to build for the future, maybe your
28:36
marks is young you. Say, still young.
28:38
He's what? He's what?
28:39
I think they're 26. Yeah, he's in his prime, yeah.
28:42
Yeah, he's in his prime. Oh.
28:43
Yeah. TK you looking?
28:45
Yeah. I am pulling it up right now.
28:47
He is 24. What?
28:49
Is even younger. Yeah, I might just say that.
28:54
I got at least a little time. All right, next one Arsenal win
28:57
10 with a nice finish from Eze. I thought that was interesting
29:01
thing about that this has been talked about a little bit is
29:03
that they had three corners. They tried to do the same thing
29:06
every single time. Eze was open at the top of the
29:08
box for all three corners. Yep.
29:10
And he the first one they didn't get in the ball.
29:11
The second one they got in the ball and he missed and the third
29:13
one they get in the ball and he scored.
29:14
It's like, what is Newcastle doing?
29:16
Like, how do you not, Yeah, how do you not like, like be like,
29:19
hey, somebody's to cover this guy well.
29:21
Can you blame them? I wouldn't blame them for one
29:24
because also does the same thing in every corner which is crowd
29:26
the freaking 6 yard box and foul the goalkeeper and get away with
29:30
it so that's why. I was saying that they were
29:33
doing the same thing and it was something different and they
29:34
didn't. And you, you know what I mean?
29:37
Yeah, but it was it was several what they've done in the past,
29:40
but it was still just wild to me.
29:42
Yeah. I think Arsenal, I mean, so they
29:44
got the win. I didn't think they were like
29:46
particularly. Didn't look good.
29:48
Didn't look great and but but I will say that the fact that they
29:51
got a win doing the things they're good at is what they
29:53
need to be doing. They need to be getting those
29:55
set piece goals like Tigo, you're smirking, but it's right,
29:57
I'm right. Yeah.
29:58
Like they need to be like ready and getting set piece goals
30:00
like, well, I didn't expect them to all of a sudden get really
30:03
like start playing really beautiful free flowing football.
30:05
But I didn't expect it was they could, they scored in the 1st 5
30:08
minutes and then I just took all the air out of the game, you
30:12
know? I mean it was actually just all
30:14
Newcastle trying to attack and Arsenal try contained.
30:18
It's the most boring team to score very early on because you
30:21
know they're going to. They're happy winning 10.
30:23
I saw a statistic where from if Arsenal were to win the EPL they
30:28
would have the smallest margin of victory in.
30:31
I can't remember how far back it was.
30:33
Probably the history of Premiership right now I think it
30:36
was Leicester City. So they'll beat the Leicester
30:37
City record. Oh wow, how interesting.
30:42
OK I mean so obviously with that being said, as you can assume
30:45
the top scoring players for Arsenal this week for all the
30:48
defenders in copy 18.25 Gabriel 14.25 Riot 14.25 Saliba 12 as a
30:56
who's the goal scorer and played majority of the game before I
30:59
got injured or came off only scored 12 points and.
31:02
You didn't get the clean sheet point, so you know, so so.
31:06
Yeah, yeah. So I'm just saying it's, I mean,
31:08
he pretty much just did nothing other than that goal.
31:10
Yeah. That's what I think the biggest
31:12
thing too. So as they, as they came off, I
31:14
don't know what minute that was. 53rd minute, injury unknown.
31:17
Hazard forced off in the 34th minute with supposed knee
31:20
injury. That was not that did not look
31:22
great the way that that went down.
31:23
That could be his season. Yeah, very easily.
31:25
And he's very important to work. Yeah, that's all it does.
31:29
He managed to. He literally got the assistant
31:31
and injured himself. So at least he got some points
31:33
on the board for like, I had him in a league and it was like, it
31:35
obviously sucked and I was playing this Gorcares too.
31:38
Haverts. Haverts got haverts.
31:40
But you got the assists at least.
31:42
Yeah, but but Gorcares Gocharez came off the bench and just did
31:47
very little on the field, huh. Dude, he had that when they had
31:50
the breakaway and all he had to do was hit it.
31:53
Anywhere. Anywhere across the to the right
31:55
hand side to get it to, I think it was Martinelli or Trossard or
31:58
whoever it was on that right and he just hits it straight to a
32:01
defender. Crazy.
32:02
Horrible. But, you know, he'll probably
32:06
get an opportunity to kick a ball super hard next week and
32:08
maybe he'll go into the back of the net.
32:09
That's how it goes. We'll see.
32:12
So if Eze is out with this, this hazard issue, like there's three
32:17
names that kind of pop up. His sock.
32:19
Sock is back now. Yeah, Sock is back, but.
32:21
And I think he isn't. Well, yeah, I think he'll
32:24
probably get the start right away.
32:25
Yeah. But I just, I also feel like
32:26
matter, like it hasn't done enough to be like, OK, he's
32:28
gonna play off the left, right. No.
32:30
So then we're looking at Trustard Martinelli.
32:33
Like who? Who would you rather have from
32:34
those players? Martinelli.
32:36
I think Dalman's up there, but I think he probably once prefers
32:39
playoff the right. Yeah.
32:40
So I say Martinelli. Martinelli over Trustard.
32:43
Yeah, just. Close by you.
32:44
Trosart, Yeah. Why Trosart?
32:47
I'm just curious. The reason I want Marinelli
32:49
because I feel Marinelli is going to actually try to get
32:51
down the byline, actually throw some balls into the box here and
32:54
there, whereas Troszard's more trying to.
32:56
He doesn't really have the ball at feet.
32:57
He's actually trying to make runs into the box, which he's
33:00
not going to fucking get. Because Troszard's have been
33:03
having a pretty decent season before he he got hurt. 7.65
33:07
goals, 5 assists. And I think his floor is higher
33:12
because Martineau will have games where he doesn't really do
33:15
Jack shit. Yeah, true.
33:16
And I, yeah, yeah, I, I know there was, what was it 3 years
33:20
ago where he was getting a lot of ghost points?
33:22
But now it's a little. Yeah, I would say that Eileen,
33:28
Eileen Trosard in that I think Martinelli would be more
33:33
interesting if they're playing against better teams because
33:35
he's he's so good, like counter attack, you know, and like with
33:39
the space in behind to run into behind.
33:40
I think Tresard's a little better, like breaking down a
33:43
team that's like playing in a block against them and when you
33:46
look at who they're playing against, it's full of West Ham,
33:50
Burnley. Oh my God, yeah.
33:52
So I don't, I don't think there's going to be a lot of
33:54
room for trust for Martin Elliot to.
33:56
Run. Do you think they drop any
33:57
points? I don't think they drop any
33:58
points. Any of those things.
33:59
Maybe Fulham, I drop points. Well, the thing about.
34:01
Them is, it's just, it's more about it's, it's not like the
34:04
team they play against is the issue.
34:05
It's that they're, they're their own issue.
34:07
So it's no, that's why I'm saying it's like the mental, the
34:09
mental thing there. But I agree with you that like
34:12
from I mean from a schedule perspective, cities run is way
34:16
harder every turn away Bournemouth away like way harder
34:20
games for city. Yeah, but the Bournemouth game
34:23
was postponed, so that's actually going to fucking help
34:25
them. How?
34:27
Because that pushes that game later on and they get the easier
34:31
games in Brentford and then Palace.
34:33
I think it's easy in Bournemouth.
34:35
Yeah, I don't I would not consider Brentford an easy game
34:37
right now either. I mean, where, where are
34:38
Brentford at the table right now?
34:40
And like they're they're I. Can sit, I can sit them.
34:42
An easy game, didn't I? Although Brentford, I just, I
34:44
just, I just clocked this Brentford's drawn 12355 games in
34:49
a row. Yeah, it's kind of wild, but a
34:52
draw against a city would be a disaster.
34:55
The draw against City would be a disaster, you're right, but.
34:59
Arsenal also is Champions League this week, so in seven days they
35:02
have three games and those games against Athletic or not going to
35:05
be easy games. Not going to be easy games.
35:07
It's. Going to be the most boring
35:09
Champions League games I've ever seen.
35:12
And you look at Fulham, I mean, Fulham beat Villa this week too.
35:15
Yes, they did. Yeah.
35:16
Villa has been like they're in 5th right now so Liverpool
35:20
jumped them. Yeah, I mean, villas probably
35:22
like when it comes to the Premier League, villas kind of
35:24
at the beach they're playing. They're they're locked in the
35:27
Champions League for the most part.
35:29
And they've been there also in Europa.
35:30
So they probably just care way more about that.
35:32
And then they're probably just not going to put as much energy
35:35
into the. Pram you think Forest is going
35:36
to put energy into this, into this Europa they have to right?
35:39
They want to win so it's the only cup they're in left.
35:42
Well, yeah, I mean, it's also a huge opportunity for them, but I
35:44
also think they need to make sure that they.
35:47
They don't get relegated. Yeah, you go.
35:48
We're talking about this. I'll ask you this because I'm
35:51
curious your opinion as well. It's a four is force run in the
35:56
last few weeks. OK, they have they obviously
35:59
they're they played Villa twice, Europa in the mix of this, but
36:02
they have Chelsea, Newcastle United, Bournemouth.
36:05
I'm saying there's a chance that they don't win any of those
36:07
games. So if they don't win a game
36:13
between now and the end of the season in the Premier League,
36:16
are they safe? They say yeah.
36:19
So in this hypothetical, they're not going to win the game
36:21
regardless. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:23
That's the hypotheticals. They don't win a game.
36:24
Are they safe? All right, let me pull up the
36:27
table real quick. Look at look at this guy.
36:30
Look at this guy. Did you see his smart though
36:31
when you said he's like, I like it.
36:33
I like this question. No.
36:35
No, I actually disrupt was because when he said the teams,
36:39
he mentioned Chelsea. I was like, this guy has one way
36:43
that he takes Chelsea's back over there.
36:45
We're back baby, we beat Leeds. So they have 39 points, so that
36:50
means. They're five points out of the
36:52
relegation zone, right? Now you know, I I wouldn't say
36:56
for sure they get relegated because even with the goal
36:58
difference, they're -4 versus -10 taught them is not going to
37:01
win all of their games. So they they, as weird as this
37:04
sounds, I don't know if Tottenham will pick up five
37:07
points in the last five games. So it's going to be tough.
37:10
Yeah, sorry. No, no, but I started.
37:12
But it's also possible that they don't even pick up three points
37:16
in their last four. Who?
37:18
Forest. Forest.
37:19
Even the forest doesn't pick up any games because.
37:22
You think, you think if even that they leaves all these four
37:24
games. You think Taurus Thomas scores
37:26
enough to even get above? Correct.
37:28
Because it's a five goal difference and the gold gold
37:31
differential is 6. Yeah, yeah, it's even if they go
37:38
like on five, I don't think it's a, it's a guarantee that force
37:41
goes down. But why?
37:42
Why do we think they're not going to pick up any points?
37:45
I think that's a tough, tough schedule.
37:46
I think that you look at that, Chelsea looks much better.
37:50
And Newcastle, I thought like we were saying they looked quite
37:52
good against Arsenal, like even though they they've been on a
37:55
bad run, they that they didn't look bad.
37:57
United's been good. Bournemouth has been one of the
37:59
most important teams in the league.
38:01
And they're playing two games in Europe.
38:03
Yeah, and they'll play G Engineer.
38:05
It's just, it's just tough. But there's also a chance if
38:07
against the first game against Villa, let's say if they lose
38:09
like 40, they're like, all right, Europa's at the door,
38:13
yeah. That's true, but what if they
38:15
win one nil or it's nil nil. Then you're fucking all in.
38:18
It then you're in it. The one thing I'm sure you guys
38:21
talked about wood a lot because we love wood here, but he's been
38:26
out for so long. He has fresh legs and.
38:29
Bro it's the first goal he scores since the first week of
38:32
the league. Yeah, but he has a plate, so I'm
38:36
just saying his and. He's because he's been injured
38:39
though, and. Yeah, yeah.
38:40
It's not like he's been playing enough scoring.
38:43
He's been hurt. But he just has.
38:45
But I'm saying that's a big, that is a big gap to think that
38:48
he's going to get that form back again.
38:49
I'm not saying he won't. I think that goal he scored, he
38:52
took it very well. But again, besides that goal, I
38:56
don't think he did much in that game.
38:57
It was. He doesn't need to.
38:58
I mean, he's not like, he's not like someone who does a lot of
39:01
running. Yeah, you know what you're.
39:02
Saying is. I'm not saying he has to do a
39:04
lot of running, but all the balls that went into me didn't
39:06
have to do much. It was he, remember, it was
39:08
Jesus who headed that ball back twice.
39:10
It was Anderson, it was it was a guy on the on the right.
39:15
He's played for Chelsea. Elliott Anderson No, No.
39:18
Hutchinson. Hutchinson it was.
39:19
Hutchinson Wood didn't really do much.
39:22
Besides, if we think about wood historically, even last year
39:25
when he kind of had this amazing year, his gloves, that's where
39:29
it was. You just put it in the box and
39:31
then he'll he finds it so. It was Wood last year and then
39:34
he was off the bench the season before that, but before that it
39:37
was pretty stagnant. Yeah, and this and this injury,
39:41
I was derailed. We'll see what happens then, I
39:43
mean. I'm just, I'm just being honest,
39:45
I'm being biased here because like.
39:46
I would be I'll be curious to see, let's say if if wood stays
39:49
a forest next year and four stays up, it'd be interesting to
39:52
see where he's going in drops because he was obviously scored
39:55
so good two years ago. He injured almost the entirety
39:58
of this year. So that's in me leaves him as
40:01
like a pretty good value, like late rounds, you know, just to
40:05
be like even if he scores a few goals, it could be interesting.
40:08
It could be interesting. He'd be an interesting player to
40:10
think about. OK, let's talk to Newcastle
40:13
super quickly. Gordon missed the second game in
40:15
a row for them. I just got a notification like
40:18
earlier today saying that he's now game time decision, though.
40:20
Yeah, interesting to see. But it's just it's tough.
40:23
And we were talking about like just the the where we are in the
40:27
season. It's really hard to, like, be
40:29
waiting around for him to get healthy, you know?
40:31
There's also rumors that I've read the by director talking
40:36
about Gordon transferred to the Bundesliga.
40:38
They didn't comment on it but it seems like he has one like 1
40:41
foot out the door and he is not. He gets injured often so he
40:47
might be like someone they shut down not to damage their asset.
40:52
Yeah, I was reading there was some really interesting cryptic
40:55
comments from Eddie, comments from Eddie Howe saying like
40:58
essentially like we're not going to play players who don't want
41:00
to be here type of line. This was like 2 weeks ago and
41:03
then all of a sudden Gordon Gordon has an injury.
41:05
So that to me tells me that there's also a chance that it's
41:08
like maybe maybe he doesn't have an injury, but maybe it's also
41:12
like they're like, yeah, we don't really want you to be
41:14
playing, but that'll that'll be interesting.
41:16
I'm not sure that's that's me speculating crazy.
41:18
I mean, that's me spreading room years.
41:19
Essentially, yeah. Bruno G Back.
41:21
Bruno G back, not the game you're hoping for as far as
41:25
points. I think he scored like 5.25 but
41:27
still good to see him back. I think he still has some some.
41:31
You hear the? Something contribute for the
41:32
rest of the season. You hear the rumor about him,
41:34
where where he might go. No, no do town.
41:37
Man United. Interesting.
41:40
Cheaper than Elliot. Elliot Anderson's probably too
41:42
expensive. Now all the talk of the.
41:44
That was it from town, but now I think Elliot Anderson's going to
41:48
city. I also heard that I think that
41:51
Newcastle needs to sell a few players too, so that would make
41:54
sense. That'd be one that they could.
41:55
Well, Baltimore is definitely out of the fogging door any.
41:58
I thought he so he he delivered a ball that was phenomenal,
42:02
dude, he looks good and that should have finished probably
42:04
should have been a goal that was that should have scored and all
42:07
he had to do was redirect that ball on the goal and it's you
42:09
know, is he on his way out does. There's talks about that he.
42:14
Said he wants to go back to Germany.
42:16
He said. That we'll see.
42:17
Yeah, he said yeah. No, no, he said.
42:19
Did he say that? Yeah.
42:20
Go to your car. Say that he said he wants to go
42:22
back to Germany. I don't know that he.
42:24
Said that a few months ago. Said that in January.
42:26
Waltzemad quotes quote return to Germany.
42:36
Let's see if there's. Anything make this a short so
42:38
I'm going. I'm really excited to come back
42:41
to Germany to come home and a country is really good.
42:43
I think he's talking about being.
42:45
International for the. International team?
42:47
Yeah, for the international. Headline back in February Nick
42:53
Voltema not considering return to Germany from Newcastle, says
42:56
athletic expert sub Stafford Blur.
42:59
Yeah, I think Enzo rather, I think Enzo rather headline on
43:05
Let me. Just let me just find look, I
43:07
can read things off the Internet.
43:08
Too. I don't.
43:09
We don't need to. We're done.
43:10
We're done. You are a piece of.
43:13
Nick Voltema loves Newcastle United fans.
43:18
Nick Voldemort can't stand fish and chips and the Geordie
43:21
accent. And I think, I think it's more,
43:23
I think it's more likely that Eddie Howe leaves than Nick
43:26
Voldemort leaves. Well, I think he's done nothing.
43:29
Eddie Howe, he's done good. I think he did.
43:31
Good. Oh, he's done great.
43:32
But I just think that they've they've they're just if they're
43:35
going to get rid of him, now's the time.
43:37
Yeah, to do it, yeah. From a coach standpoint, I feel
43:40
like there's a lot of coaches that are going to be on the
43:41
market and yeah, it's the team in transition.
43:44
But like, I'm not saying they should, but I'm just saying it's
43:46
I wouldn't be shocked if this is when they've just had far ways
43:49
with him. Did you hear that?
43:50
Did you hear this rumor? I got another one.
43:52
OK. If pep cardio lilies mansi, we
43:55
also know that Eric Moreska is the next one ends up Moreska is
43:58
the next one, but they say Pep's going to go to talent team.
44:02
Just so he can win everywhere. The no the international team
44:07
bring them back to glory. That's not a rumor, man.
44:09
That's a players. That's one of the former Italian
44:12
players said hey, they should go after Pep.
44:14
That's not a rumor. Who said that?
44:17
I don't know who said it, but how's that irrelevant?
44:20
It's it makes sense to me. I'd love him to be.
44:22
How does it make sense? I would love him to be.
44:25
Ashley Pep said if he were to coach an international team it
44:28
would be Brazil. And then I did he say that?
44:31
Yeah, he did. And then you said no.
44:33
And then they said, oh, Tico said no.
44:35
They went to Africa, he. Said Tico dropped off Slide,
44:39
said no, so we won't do it. You see that stash?
44:44
That stash don't lie. I mean for the drawn I I would
44:47
be interested if he went and coached an Italian team.
44:50
I'd be interested. Because because he's won, he's
44:52
won the league. He's won a league in Spain, he's
44:54
won the league in Germany, he's won the league in England, won
44:57
the league in Italy, would be pretty close.
45:00
Any coach wanted won the league in four of the top five leagues.
45:06
Jose Marino I. Was gonna say Jose Marino has to
45:08
be. He's won in.
45:09
Or he's won a major. Or he's won a major trophy.
45:11
You won in he's no, he's never played in Germany, but Portugal,
45:14
yeah, doesn't barely count. It's the top five league,
45:18
though. Barely counts.
45:19
All right. Carla Achilotti.
45:21
OK. Which leagues Chelsea?
45:24
England. Spain, Italy.
45:28
England. With Chelsea, he never finished
45:31
first. I'm pretty sure you finished
45:33
first with Chelsea. With Chelsea, they won the
45:36
double. I know that for sure.
45:37
I'll pull out 100 Carl Ancelotti, but it might have
45:40
been the FA Cup and. They won the Premier League.
45:42
Yeah, they did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
45:45
No, no, because Chelsea, Chelsea said so many buddy matches, I
45:47
can't keep up. He's also wanted it.
45:49
Bayern Munich. Yeah.
45:51
So finally. Oh, so he's he's he's OK.
45:54
Pep's not catching, OK? He'll also win the World Cup
45:57
soon. Well, I think, I think we'll
45:59
talk about I'll get. Going.
46:01
Last I want to talk about City beat Leeds.
46:06
I'm sorry, City beat Saints, Chelsea, Leeds.
46:08
That's the FA Cup final on. It's literally the finals on the
46:10
day of a wedding. I'm going to be out in Spain,
46:12
which is. Unfortunate it's.
46:13
Literally the same way going on and I'm probably going to have
46:16
one of my best friends and I'm have like my phone out like.
46:19
Wait, when are you going to Spain?
46:21
May 13th to the 21st. Oh shit, I might be leaving on
46:27
the 20th. Yeah.
46:30
So the only weekend that we we could hang out for the last time
46:33
is the weekend of the 15th or the 8th.
46:37
The 15th, Yeah, It's gonna be before that.
46:39
Remember, that's Mother's Day weekend.
46:41
And the week after that is I won't.
46:43
I'll be a little bit busy. It might be maybe the Sunday
46:46
May. OK.
