Latest / The Fellow Reds Podcast - Manchester United / UCL SECURED! 🔴 Sunderland vs Man Utd Preview | The Betway Controversy & Arsenal’s "Gold Cup"?
Transcript
- 0:00Arsenal, you haven't quite won the Champions League and you
- 0:02definitely haven't won any kind of Gold Cup just yet, and you've
- 0:05got quite the small task of an incredible PSG in the final.
- 0:10So let's just see. Let's just see.
- 0:13I don't think he's just, I don't think he's defending.
- 0:15I'd rather see him higher at the pitch.
- 0:16There's not many kind of quality left fielders out there.
- 0:19Yeah, that's probably what I think, because basically I think
- 0:22he's going to turn into Gareth. Bale, how are we, fellow Reds?
- 0:24And welcome to this latest match preview of the upcoming game
- 0:28against Sunderland with me, Span and Chaz.
- 0:32Before we get into it, something different.
- 0:34Wherever you're watching and listening, let us know what
- 0:36country you're in. How long have you supported Man
- 0:39United and why do you love them so much?
- 0:41We love to hear from fellow Reds around the world, so get in the
- 0:45comments and let us know. And as always, a massive thanks
- 0:49to those of you who are already subscribing and following.
- 0:51If you're not what you're waiting for, we're on YouTube,
- 0:54Spotify, Apple and all the socials.
- 0:57Come enjoy your fellow Reds, we'd love to love to have you.
- 1:01But Jazz we're back. Game coming up.
- 1:04Still basking in the win against Liverpool.
- 1:07How you feeling? Yeah, good.
- 1:09Like it's nicer to have the the Champions League.
- 1:12Obviously we'd like to be competing for titles and and
- 1:16things like that, but obviously the bar has been dropped a
- 1:18little bit so you still got to take it.
- 1:21Like we don't want a trophy, but we've got Champions League
- 1:23football. We're back where we belong.
- 1:24So yeah, it's nice to to secure that early and then I will get
- 1:29into it. But like enjoy these last few
- 1:31games, maybe see some youngsters is what I'm hoping for.
- 1:34So yeah, good place. Maybe giving.
- 1:37Giving away a little bit as his predicted lineups early
- 1:39potentially, but yeah, we'll get into them before we do.
- 1:42As always, let's look at what's been going on since we we last
- 1:46caught up. So Man City slip up and fans
- 1:51leaving early at 31, including a certain normal Gallagher.
- 1:55Yeah, he was there. He was 10 minutes left.
- 1:57I think it was an 18 first minute.
- 1:58I saw the clip. Yeah, big, big.
- 2:02Like I think we did say it beforehand.
- 2:04It's like they hate played Everton, as our city mate always
- 2:08mentions he hates played Everton, hates played Everton
- 2:09away and he's like they always turn up against him and they too
- 2:12fair they did. So yeah, like I think I think
- 2:18it's probably done nothing. Arsenal will the only one I
- 2:22think they might struggle with is this weekend just because W
- 2:25summer fighting for their lives. So maybe that's the one.
- 2:27But other than I just think they're going to get the line.
- 2:29I think they'll win the rest of their games.
- 2:32I don't think so. I don't see I don't know.
- 2:35I actually guess there could be a draw against W time.
- 2:37I do think that's the one where like if they went on, I think
- 2:41it's Sunday, then I think I think it's Arsenals for sure.
- 2:45Yeah, I don't know. You know, I feel that, like we
- 2:48said, I think we knew this game was going to be a tricky 1, you
- 2:51know, at the hill Dickinson, but I think that docu goal could be
- 2:54a massive even psychologically for for Arsenal as well.
- 2:58There's they've definitely got a wobble in them and I don't know
- 3:02if it's going to come this weekend, but I don't know that,
- 3:05just that goal which is seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 3:09Obviously, I take no pride in city or joy in city winning
- 3:13anything, but it was funny when 31 they're all leaving and then
- 3:17Holland scores like great Jeff and you just see him trying to
- 3:20get back in. And then, yeah, like, say, Doc
- 3:23Docu goals. Some of them.
- 3:24Imagine if that wins in the title and some of them have
- 3:26missed it. But they missed.
- 3:27They weren't there to bat the team.
- 3:30So tricky 1. Tricky one.
- 3:33But also, you know, Arsenal might not be that bothered now
- 3:36because they've won the Champions League, right?
- 3:38Yeah, they won't. They won the semi league semi
- 3:40final championship, didn't they? The semi.
- 3:43Final Championship Gold Cup. Yeah, yeah, I did see it right
- 3:48saying like just let him celebrate.
- 3:50So I do get like we've not been in a Champions League final for
- 3:53a long time now and I imagine if we got to Champions League
- 3:55final, we'd be absolutely mental.
- 3:57So I do get it and I don't. The only thing I don't like is
- 4:01the players like doing the you know, when you hold hands and do
- 4:05that's save that for a final, like not for a semi final.
- 4:08Like I mean, I think it's fine for fans to get crazy excited
- 4:11because it is amazing. I think players, you obviously
- 4:14celebrate like that initial release, but like when it keeps
- 4:18going on and on, like maybe countdown a little bit, but I'm
- 4:21sure that I'll piss off the acid fans as usual.
- 4:25I don't know, maybe I'm getting a bit right in at my old age,
- 4:27but it does feel mad to be celebrating that hard for
- 4:32winning the semi final. And I know it's a massive 1.
- 4:34I know it's the Champions League.
- 4:36But of course, like, you know, the relief and the excitement to
- 4:40go into a final is big. But just classically them, it
- 4:44just seemed over the top a little bit.
- 4:46And I don't understand and all this chat about, have you heard
- 4:50about this Gold Cup that they're going to, they're going to be
- 4:52getting apparently. No.
- 4:54What's this? So a.
- 4:55Lot of fun to saying because they if they win it they'll have
- 4:58got unbeaten in the Champions League.
- 5:00Apparently they got like. I don't even know if this is
- 5:02true but I heard that they got like a a different Premier
- 5:05League are. They supposed one.
- 5:06Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.
- 5:08They're saying that they win the Champions League, they'll get
- 5:10like a special gold edition, which is so Arsenal key.
- 5:14Key thing is here they're not going to win it because PSG are
- 5:17ridiculous. I know, I know, but it was mad.
- 5:20And literally I heard someone the other day as well say that
- 5:23they would be the greatest Champions League team ever
- 5:26purely based on the fact that they haven't lost.
- 5:28And look, are you actually looking at the guys who you're
- 5:31going to be up against in the final?
- 5:33Like they they have been probably one of the most
- 5:36impressive teams in this Champions League.
- 5:38And yes, you might not have lost, but you've also stumped
- 5:40the gaffe out in a lot of rounds.
- 5:42So. Yeah, that's why I liked last
- 5:44night from PSG because also the the week before, like the five
- 5:47four ridiculous game, this one, they got the goal early and then
- 5:50they showed how good they are defensively.
- 5:52And then on another night they could have Neil made some really
- 5:55good saves throughout the game. So I think it showed they're not
- 5:58all about attack. They can defend as well.
- 6:02And I know I just really was surprised if Arsenal win it, but
- 6:06you do know they have got a kind of stinky defensive performance.
- 6:10A docker has penalty in them. But I just think PSG are too
- 6:14much. They're so good.
- 6:15Like I think, I can't remember who said it on a podcast this
- 6:18morning, but it's like they seem to be a bit like the Barsa team
- 6:21who battered us twice. Like it looks like it's one of
- 6:23those generational teams where they're just unbelievable to win
- 6:27potentially back-to-back Champions Leagues.
- 6:29And Arsenal are kind of like not at that level.
- 6:32So if they played this game 10 times, I think PSG would win at
- 6:359. He's just going to hope that
- 6:36it's not that one time when Arsenal win it.
- 6:40Yeah, they've got top quality all over the pitch.
- 6:42It's ridiculous. And I just think they've got
- 6:44different ways of unlocking teams.
- 6:45And I watched the game last night and as you said, it was
- 6:48obviously different to that ridiculous game last time.
- 6:50But it did feel like PSG kind of learnt and said, right, if we
- 6:53get a goal, which obviously gave them a 2 two goal advantage,
- 6:56let's not be crazy because, you know, buying I've got like
- 6:59amazing firepower as well and you can't prove that as well.
- 7:02So So yeah, Arsenal, you haven't quite won the Champions League
- 7:07and you definitely haven't won any kind of Gold Cup just yet
- 7:10and you've got so quite the small task of an incredible PSG
- 7:14in the final. So let's just see let's just see
- 7:18over news moving on to United potential bet way sponsorship of
- 7:22our training kit. So apparently we're in advanced
- 7:24talks. It's the sponsor the club
- 7:26training kit be around £20 million.
- 7:28As you probably know, front of kit kind of gambling sponsorship
- 7:32has been banned from next season, so.
- 7:34It's quite cheeky 1. A little bit way through the
- 7:37back door and it's not gone down too well with with a lot of the
- 7:41fans. What do you think about it?
- 7:44Yeah, I just feel a bit like a bit sneaky in a sense that I
- 7:48kind of banned it ever else. And yeah, I feel like we could
- 7:53probably got a £20 million sponsorship from someone else.
- 7:56Why do we have to get from a bet company that the same season
- 7:59that a bet income he's been banned from front of shirt.
- 8:01So yeah, I feel like it's a bit unnecessary and it's like, I
- 8:04always like to think we're quite a morally kind of high club and
- 8:12that's not really in the style of Man United, don't think.
- 8:15So yeah, I'm not a massive fan of it, but I'm not going to be
- 8:18buying that way training gear anyway, so.
- 8:22Yeah, well, it's a funny 1, isn't it?
- 8:23Because Man United are a different beast.
- 8:26They're massive, so you've got to think about every move they
- 8:28make. And yeah, just you'd feel they'd
- 8:32have other options. So why even kind of flow with
- 8:34this? But maybe no, maybe not.
- 8:35And, you know, obviously we do have gambling sponsors already
- 8:38and, you know, Betfred and that and that kind of stuff.
- 8:40So it's interesting how that would all kind of work together.
- 8:43But it just feels like, I don't know, do we need to do this?
- 8:47I'll say it felt, fellow Reds, like a bet.
- 8:49So if that way, you know, fancy sponsoring this instead?
- 8:52Yeah. Come in, we'll take the 20.
- 8:55Minutes. That's.
- 8:55Fine. Come on, half price, 10 million
- 8:57fine. Go on.
- 8:59You've been, you've been kind there.
- 9:00But yeah, a better way, you know, if you want to speak to
- 9:02us, come on, come and let us know.
- 9:03But from a from a united point of view, it just feels like a do
- 9:07we need to necessary especially, Yeah, especially when it's so
- 9:09topical. But the United News Air thought
- 9:12was worth mentioning. So we'll see what happens with
- 9:14that one. But let's get into it.
- 9:17Before. Have you seen the the last three
- 9:21games of the season? We'll be wearing next year
- 9:24year's shirt. Apparently the thing we've I've
- 9:27not seen, I think they've something that has been done
- 9:29before by other clubs. So yeah, I think, I'm not sure
- 9:34if it's, I think I think they were at Sunderland definitely
- 9:36for their home game. They'll be wearing the new, new
- 9:39shirt, which I don't. Have you seen it?
- 9:43I think I saw some rumors of maybe like, yeah, the last two
- 9:46or three games. And yeah, the show itself is a
- 9:50collar. Yeah, I call everything quite
- 9:52chunky idea Stripe, so I'm not a massive fan of it, but sometimes
- 9:55Gary, tell when it's just an image of it, when you see the
- 9:57players on it, you maybe tell, but I don't know where.
- 10:02This new trick, I guess it's like basically it's advertising
- 10:03for the ship next year. But yeah, I said that'll be a
- 10:08different kit. We'll see this this weekend,
- 10:10probably. Yeah, You know, while we're on
- 10:13it, I'm sure loads of United people are listening and
- 10:16probably, you know, Snapdragon as well.
- 10:18I really want a classically stripped back kit and I'd love
- 10:22Snapdragon to do something. Where do you really need the
- 10:24logo and the words as well? I think just a logo on its own,
- 10:28a bit of mystique as well. I think people are familiar with
- 10:31that logo and after a full season, but if not, maybe that's
- 10:34kind of creating some who's the sponsor on front of the United
- 10:38kit? And imagine just having that
- 10:39there. I think you just look a bit
- 10:40cleaner and nicer. Than yeah, it's a bit big, isn't
- 10:42it? At least the one I saw.
- 10:44It's just like, yeah, a lot in your face, a bit obvious.
- 10:48Yeah, I like obviously a lot of clubs are trying to do these
- 10:51retro kits and stuff. And I think if you're going to
- 10:53do it, like just go all in on it with like a smaller small, like
- 10:57you said, a smaller sonship. But I guess there's probably
- 11:00legal rules on sizes of logos and all that sort of stuff.
- 11:04So I think this season's kit or last year this kit there the
- 11:08replica shirt was different to the that's one the players wore.
- 11:13I think it was again as the sponsor was a lot bigger on the,
- 11:16the one that we buy, this is the one they they wear.
- 11:21So again, it's stuff all tied up and legal will be that'll be an
- 11:24extra £1,000,000 or something probably, wouldn't it?
- 11:26So no doubt, and it was in the past, was it Paddy Power or
- 11:29someone else? You kind of basically paid to
- 11:31not have a sponsor on front of the kit, so they just left it
- 11:34empty. That is that is glorious.
- 11:37Yeah, I would love maybe defeats the objects of the sponsorship,
- 11:40but again, maybe it's just that mystique of all.
- 11:42Why is there no kit sponsor of Man United?
- 11:44You know, they have a search better that.
- 11:46So if you're listening guys, you know, make our make our dreams
- 11:49happen at some point. But yeah, good addition, Chaz.
- 11:52Yeah, I forgot about that one right now.
- 11:55Let's actually get into it. The Markham's on Saturday 3:00
- 11:58PM in the UK. Jazz A Saturday 3:00 PM kick off
- 12:02for Manchester United. Yeah, ahead of.
- 12:05Rare. Rare.
- 12:06Been only a Monday night and then Tuesday at 2:00 AM, aren't
- 12:08we? So yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:11Nice, Jamie. It's not a home game.
- 12:14I know, I know. So yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll
- 12:17look forward to that. As you mentioned, Champions
- 12:20League secured. So really now we're talking
- 12:22operation that's cement that third place and can we get Bruno
- 12:26to beat that assist record? Yeah, I think that's the main I
- 12:31I maybe let's test some youngsters.
- 12:33I think maybe they're the main objectives.
- 12:35Like we've got a six point gap, so we probably only really need
- 12:39to win one really to probably secure the third spot.
- 12:44But I definitely do want to secure that third spot.
- 12:46So we don't want to be just kind of completely relaxing because I
- 12:49guess now that kind of objectives been achieved and now
- 12:53I do some of the players, obviously a lot of them are
- 12:54international players. They're starting, you know,
- 12:56like, do I go for that tackle because I don't want to great
- 13:00when Mesutas won't be out of the Brazil or the England or
- 13:02whatever the squad is. So I wonder I I think in if
- 13:05you're a player that must come into your brain a little bit
- 13:07because obviously you don't get many World Cups.
- 13:10And if you know you're probably going to be that squad, maybe
- 13:12you do kind of ease up a little bit, which also makes me think,
- 13:15well, maybe you do Chuck a couple of youngsters in there to
- 13:19kind of keep that energy kind of youthful exhibition potentially.
- 13:26Do you really? I did think that myself as well,
- 13:28but you really think Carrots going to risk that with his job
- 13:30on the line as well because he surely he wants to literally
- 13:35finish so strong and he is about youth and he is about promoting
- 13:38youth. But there's a gamble to that,
- 13:40right? In terms of imagine if he loses
- 13:42the remaining fixtures, it's not.
- 13:43We kind of limp to the end of the season.
- 13:46Yeah, I'm assuming start youngsters.
- 13:48I just mean actually bring some on.
- 13:51Yeah, is what I think I can say everything you got here and you
- 13:56bring on Jim Quates for example, that type of thing, I don't
- 14:00know. I think that's good because that
- 14:01is part of any United manager or at least what United stand for
- 14:06is that youth development and he hasn't achieved the objective.
- 14:10So I get the job on the line type thing.
- 14:12But if it's for youthful kind of reasons, then maybe you kind of
- 14:18get freestyle particularly. Obviously he's talking to Jason
- 14:21Wilcox, he's talking to Barada and all these people at the same
- 14:24time anyway. So if he's kind of they'll be in
- 14:26on it. And you think he'll probably
- 14:28support it as well. So that's my theory.
- 14:31But yeah, I do get it. Yeah.
- 14:34He he will want to win, right. And and then a hike.
- 14:37Because if he won, what will it be if he wins the next?
- 14:41It'd be 13 out of 19. He'd do one or something like
- 14:44that or 14, something like that. If he wins them all.
- 14:46So yeah, it's a pretty awesome record, very good.
- 14:51So yeah, I do get that from a kind of pure character
- 14:53perspective. I saw something crazy on socials
- 14:56early in the week as well so it's not validated but something
- 14:59about an agreement with Brazil and Cunha being rested.
- 15:03It's nice. It's rubbish.
- 15:05Yeah, I think even I think Cunha came out and basically was like
- 15:08that. So it was it was a it was like a
- 15:10story in Brazil and he wasn't been arrested for the last three
- 15:14games. So he's like fresh for Brazil
- 15:15and Junior was like, this is not true.
- 15:18Yeah, you can't be doing that nonsense, can you?
- 15:20No. Definitely not.
- 15:23Ridiculous. Yeah, well let's get into
- 15:26Sunderland then. What a season.
- 15:29Absolutely. What a great season.
- 15:30They've done the double over Newcastle, which is obviously
- 15:34fantastic for them. They sit 12th, 2 points above
- 15:38Newcastle. They're only five points off the
- 15:41top 6, which, you know, just, I don't think anyone at the start
- 15:44of the season would have placed them there.
- 15:45And then they're a comfortable kind of 11 points off the bottom
- 15:483. But yeah, fantastic season for
- 15:50Sunderland back in the Prime. Yeah, I think it kind of shocked
- 15:54everyone. I think a lot of people had been
- 15:56to like one of the favourites to go down basically.
- 15:58I think everyone predicted that it came up, probably go down, I
- 16:03think. Yeah, I think they shocked
- 16:03everyone. It shocked me and I think like,
- 16:08especially at the start of the season, I think they were like 4
- 16:10after like 10 games or something like that and already secured a
- 16:13big turn of the points towards staying up.
- 16:14So yeah, fair play. And they've like, I think early
- 16:17in the season they were just really hard to beat, like a lot
- 16:20of energy, kind of high tempo. And I think they just kind of
- 16:23caught teams off guard. And I think maybe they've
- 16:27tapered off a little bit probably because of that style
- 16:29of play at the start of season. Like it's hard to maintain it's
- 16:32like that. What's his face?
- 16:34The Elzer leads like they always fell off because it's hard to
- 16:37maintain those levels for so long.
- 16:40But yeah, fair play to them. Like especially that double over
- 16:42Newcastle there we're actually buzzing about.
- 16:44So yeah, like fair play. Dragging rights up in the
- 16:48northeast and yeah, as you mentioned, they have kind of
- 16:51tapered off a little bit and hopefully for us that's a good
- 16:53thing. So their last three results last
- 16:56game was a 11 drawer away at Wolves where we'll come on to it
- 16:59in a bit. But they have ballad sent off.
- 17:01They got battered by Forest 5 nil at home and then before that
- 17:06they lost in a closer 43 to Villa.
- 17:09So they're not in the best form coming into this, which can
- 17:12sometimes be good, but can also sometimes be bad because they've
- 17:15got a point to prove unless a few other players are already on
- 17:18the beach because they've had a good season already.
- 17:21Yeah, that's, it's a hard one to call.
- 17:23I guess as we know most teams always, especially the lower
- 17:27teams always get up for United coming to town.
- 17:31So I would expect expensive that definitely better than they were
- 17:36against Forest. So yeah, I think I'm not
- 17:40expecting them to roll over. I think it'll be a tough game.
- 17:43Yeah, so do I, So do I. But we got the job done at Old
- 17:47Trafford back in October with A2 nil win and that was Mountain
- 17:51Cesco on the score sheet. Interesting one for later and
- 17:54Lennon's with a clean sheet on his own debut.
- 17:57So let's hope we can get another one.
- 18:00Our last visit to Stadium Light before that was a three nil win
- 18:03nine years ago, so it's good. Big.
- 18:07Well, it was actually, and I'm giving something away for later,
- 18:10but not to ruin it. It was as Latan Rashford and our
- 18:15mate Mikitarian. We liked him, didn't marry.
- 18:17I liked his song anyway. Can you remember it?
- 18:24Oh, mikitarian, Mikitarian. He's our midfield Armenian.
- 18:30Very good. Yeah, it was fantastic.
- 18:32It was fantastic. And yeah, we've actually only
- 18:35lost once in 15 chips at the stadium.
- 18:38That's not. Good.
- 18:39We love to break these records. Hopefully not under Carrick,
- 18:44under some other management, but he's been pretty good.
- 18:47And then, yeah, team news. I mentioned something already.
- 18:49I think a big loss for them is a ballad.
- 18:51Got sent off, you know that Big center half against Wall.
- 18:54So he'll be missing, which is good, yeah.
- 18:58Well, I think I've got a couple of their defenders in my fantasy
- 19:00team and they've been picking up some decent points across the
- 19:03season that renewed and they can't, I can't really want
- 19:09these, are they? But that they pick up some
- 19:12decent points because that's what I mean.
- 19:13They kind of are quite normally quite hard to beat other than
- 19:16them recently I've been conceding quite a lot of goals
- 19:19but the rest of these and they haven't been getting battered
- 19:20like they have done recently. Another hard fight team.
- 19:27It's a go aisle, It's a go aisle, but he's got it, he's got
- 19:30it. And then they've got Mundell
- 19:32out, but then Treyari and Angulo should be available for them.
- 19:37So Ballard's a big one. A hole in the centre of the
- 19:41defense which hopefully opens the doors for our attacking
- 19:44players in terms of ones to watch Jazz.
- 19:48Anyone that you kind of like stand out as a player?
- 19:52Well, obviously. There's Jacques who's had an
- 19:54amazing season and then he's been even I think it was Shrike
- 19:57or LinkedIn to us this week on the podcast, which are kind of
- 20:01too fair. It's not a bad show.
- 20:02If you get him for like 10 million, like as a squad player,
- 20:05he's probably a decent one to have.
- 20:06He's had a good season, but I don't think that's going to
- 20:08happen. So yeah, him and then yeah,
- 20:13probably obviously is a a decent tricky player.
- 20:17How watched them? Who was it they were playing the
- 20:19whole week? I can't remember, it was the
- 20:22game obviously before the most recent form.
- 20:24I have been a bit of form. Forest.
- 20:29No, he basically played well and scored Villa maybe in that 4.
- 20:36Three. Yeah, maybe it's.
- 20:37The Villa game, yeah, yeah. But yeah, he's obviously he's a
- 20:40tricky player, like doesn't stop working hard.
- 20:43It was the Villa game actually, because I remember I was, I was
- 20:45watching it because I was obviously watching for Villa
- 20:47slip up and I thought I had it and obviously Villa scored
- 20:50later. Yeah, he just didn't stop
- 20:52running. I think.
- 20:53I'm pretty sure they took him off and when they did take him
- 20:56off because he just worked so hard, I think kind of the levels
- 21:00kind of dripped off a bit, dropped off a bit.
- 21:02But yeah, he's a good player. Yeah, I've got a bit of a soft
- 21:05spot for probably because I was obviously when I was living in
- 21:07Amsterdam, I actually was was the team and I went to see them
- 21:10a few times. So yeah, he's a he's a handful,
- 21:13and it'll be interesting to see who Carried decides to put up
- 21:16against him to join another. Yeah, you think so?
- 21:20You think so, but you know. Who?
- 21:22Else, let's get into United. So in terms of US, Martin as
- 21:26he's available after suspension, which is good.
- 21:30Cesco is still a bit of a doubt with that shin injury thanks to
- 21:33Kanate shoving him into the hardings.
- 21:35Still not over that and obviously something for us to
- 21:38consider. His dog who came off the bench
- 21:40against Liverpool. Yeah, what is it, Balon?
- 21:44Doggy, Yeah. Yeah, it'd be.
- 21:47A bit interesting to see what happens and like we said in
- 21:50terms of this game, a big one for Bruno potentially to kind
- 21:53of, you know, get that record. So you know, fingers crossed
- 21:58that you can you can do it in terms of line ups and charts
- 22:02with all that kind of in mind what you're thinking.
- 22:05I don't know because. It's really hard one because all
- 22:07the other games I just gone like, yeah, same there, same
- 22:10that, same that. But I think maybe maybe it's a
- 22:12good chance to mix it up a little bit just because give
- 22:15some other players, even for Carrick, assuming he gets their
- 22:19job just to get another look at them before next season.
- 22:22Like it's maybe not a bad chance be might just do that with
- 22:25substitutions. But so I'll go with obviously
- 22:28lemons and goal. I'll stick with the defense
- 22:30basically, and I'm going to stick with McGuire.
- 22:33And actually, no, he's not been injured has he's been suspended.
- 22:39Yeah, I changed my mind. Actually, I'm going to go to
- 22:41McGuire and Martinez. Then I think he'll drop right
- 22:44and then Shaw, Shaw left back. Then midfield, I'm going to
- 22:51stick with Bruno. Katz and Kobe were those three.
- 22:55And here's what I'm going to mix it up a little bit.
- 22:58So I think Cesco might be injured or at least they don't
- 23:06want to risk him and they'll know the same for the next game.
- 23:09So I'm going to go. They're going to play Brian
- 23:12through the middle and then Kenya and then I think it may be
- 23:15a little cheeky man on the right is what I'm thinking, yeah.
- 23:19Nice, nice. I've I've gotten some similar so
- 23:21well at the back. I actually think he's going to
- 23:23stick with heaven. I feel that he's going to kind
- 23:27of reward him for his last performances.
- 23:30And I think Martinez is always someone that you can and need to
- 23:33play back in a little bit. But we'll see.
- 23:35We'll see at the back there. You wouldn't be annoyed either
- 23:37way though, right? No, I haven't kind of deserved
- 23:40it, but I do understand. Obviously Martin has officers a
- 23:42lot kind of going forward as well.
- 23:44So if he's if he's fully fit and ready, I can see why he might
- 23:47play him and I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be mad about it.
- 23:50I also agree that I think he may not start Cesco because of that
- 23:54injury. I think he might actually play
- 23:58Balon Doggy left as kind of how he came on with CUNY through the
- 24:02middle and Brian outright. So a little bit different.
- 24:06Yeah, same, same, but different on a similar theme.
- 24:09But I could see Doggy coming in because he seems to like him on
- 24:11that left side. Yeah, my.
- 24:13Thought actually was that could they could he drop sure and play
- 24:16ball on there as left back as like an attacking force.
- 24:20And then if you did have mount, so you put Kuna in the middle
- 24:24and Brian on the right and then you have Matt on the left, for
- 24:26example, then you still have that kind of pace going forward.
- 24:30But let's say it's going to be interesting to see what he does
- 24:32because it is an opportunity to play something different and
- 24:35test some players and and and try things out.
- 24:37So I think this is probably the one time where we're both like
- 24:40not really sure what they're going to do like the last of 6
- 24:43to 8 games. You've pretty much been spot on
- 24:46every time. The only times was the early
- 24:48times where we we were picking picking Cesco and he's picking
- 24:51Brian. But over now, I think we pretty
- 24:53much nailed every team over than injuries, yeah.
- 24:57Yeah, and it's an interesting one around Doggy.
- 24:59What is he Shaw's successor? Because when I think about it,
- 25:05obviously he was bought for a different system under Amarin, a
- 25:07different type of player, but he's been so good further
- 25:10upfront. So what do you think?
- 25:12Do you think he is the one term? No.
- 25:15I think he is. I don't think he's just, I don't
- 25:17think he's defending. I'd rather see him hire at the
- 25:19pitch like and yeah, I kind of like him there and he'll see
- 25:28scoring goals and playing well. I guess he's got the physicality
- 25:32and the engine to get up and down.
- 25:34So as a positive. But I think he I see him as a
- 25:37left wing game or so now. And I think that also helps us
- 25:40in the case of what we need to buy in the summer.
- 25:43Do we need to buy a left left winger if we got him as a left
- 25:46winger then? Because I think you're better
- 25:48off buying an actual proper left back who can actually defend.
- 25:52Like our new Shore is what we actually need more so than kind
- 25:57of more so having dog got left back and then buying a left
- 26:01field. And I also think it's cheaper
- 26:03doing it that way around just from a financial perspective,
- 26:06because there's not many kind of quality left fielders out there.
- 26:11So that's, yeah, that's probably what I think.
- 26:13I'd rather see him because basically I think he's going to
- 26:15turn into Gareth Bale so. Yes, please.
- 26:20We had the summer. We'll be telling them to see
- 26:22what we what we go for based on on that.
- 26:25Because yeah, I do think I've been impressed with Doggy and he
- 26:28got so unlucky. That timing of his injury was
- 26:30just such a shame because he was flying.
- 26:33So it'd be interesting to see if he can end the season on a high.
- 26:36And yeah, I'm predicting that he might actually even get a start
- 26:38against against Sunderland. Nice idea about score Jazz.
- 26:43It might tend to go first, you guys, I.
- 26:45Think I went first last time. So I said we both said three,
- 26:48one right now. What did we say?
- 26:51Yeah, yeah, we go to three. One.
- 26:52Yeah, you go first this time. All.
- 26:54Right, no copying, but let's watch your face.
- 26:55If I say exactly, I'll tell you I'll.
- 26:57Tell you if it's the same, I'm joking.
- 27:01I've gone to know United and I've gone Bruno and in Bramel.
- 27:07Is bringing an assist record joint?
- 27:12He's kind of cool as far as I'm concerned, and I think maybe not
- 27:16this game. OK, yeah, I'm getting 31, right?
- 27:23Goal scorers are, yeah, Brian Kunia and Bruno, I think, I
- 27:32think we, I feel like we're going to get a penalty and
- 27:34Bruno's going to score it. Basically, yeah.
- 27:36That's. That's OK.
- 27:37So 22 confident wins there. I like it.
- 27:40I like it. And yeah, it'd be great to get
- 27:42another win. And what's that?
- 27:44If we win our next two as well? That fella can finally get his
- 27:47haircut. That's right.
- 27:48That's true. Yeah.
- 27:49Yeah, yeah, he's bringing it right.
- 27:50We've won. So yeah, last chance.
- 27:54What's he going to do? Is he just going to keep going
- 27:55until next season if we don't? I think so, yeah.
- 27:59And bunkers, Bunkers. Great.
- 28:01OK, well, excited for that game. But before we kind of wrap up,
- 28:04let's have a look at some of the other games from that from the
- 28:07game week. So quite, I'd say juicy on
- 28:10mainly just probably historically, but Liverpool V
- 28:12Chelsea. So Chelsea have been awful.
- 28:15And obviously, you know, Liverpool, Meh.
- 28:17Yeah. What do you think there?
- 28:20Liverpool win at home. Yeah, Both said Chelsea have
- 28:22been awful and they got battered by Forest's second team.
- 28:27So yeah, I don't see if he never did Liverpool win there.
- 28:31Like I know Liverpool have been pretty bad as well, but they're
- 28:34pretty bad, is not as bad as Chelsea's is currently.
- 28:37So yeah, I reckon Liverpool, Liverpool win there.
- 28:41And it's likely to be a maybe a salary turn and one of his last
- 28:44games at Anfield as well. So you can imagine being a bit
- 28:46of a bit of a they're making me. That that one.
- 28:50Oh, they will. Oh they will.
- 28:51He should have gone last. He should have gone last year.
- 28:53But they'll drag it out a little bit more.
- 28:56I combined 11. Went down well, by the way, a
- 29:00few people did not agree. Yeah, but so.
- 29:03That's what. That's what we like, is what we
- 29:05like and then other games. So Spurs of home to Leeds,
- 29:10that'll be an interesting one. Obviously, reads are safe.
- 29:13Now these are safe. So I could see actually lead
- 29:17surprising them there. Like I think obviously Spurs got
- 29:21that win at Villa the other day, but I think Villa were awful.
- 29:25Like I'm thinking about tonight. So I think need to have a bit of
- 29:32fight about them. I think it's why I say is if
- 29:33leads get a goal early, like I think Spurs it heads could just
- 29:36go maybe deserve he's kind of coaching out at them.
- 29:39I don't know. But I think I could see a little
- 29:42slip up there, maybe a draw or something.
- 29:45But they have got their tails up obviously after that big win
- 29:48against Filler, so yeah. We'll see.
- 29:51And then city at home to Brentford in a title race.
- 29:56So you get the job done that Brentford.
- 29:58Tricky customer. They are tricky.
- 29:59Customer, I think at home, I think they'll they'll win that.
- 30:03If there's Brentford away, I'll probably a bit more like, oh,
- 30:05that could be a draw. But I think after what happened
- 30:07on Monday. As well I.
- 30:09Think Pep will probably get him pretty fired up to to win that
- 30:14one. Yeah, I think it could.
- 30:16Be a bit of a mini like reset first City where they've
- 30:19obviously like gutted after that and it's all right, whatever we
- 30:21do, we just at least win our remaining.
- 30:25Put it all and. They play before Arsenal as
- 30:28well, so it's a good chance to lay down a marker because then
- 30:31Arsenal have got their away to West Ham on Sunday, which
- 30:36there's definitely a slip up there.
- 30:39Yeah, I said, you say that, but then West Ham got battered by
- 30:41Brentford last week like 3 nil. But yeah, it's just they've got
- 30:47so much to fight for, which is the games Arsenal played
- 30:49recently against other teams haven't really had much to fight
- 30:52for, like Fulham, but nothing. Yeah.
- 30:54So West Ham are fighting their lives.
- 30:57So also, for example, if Spurs do drop points against Leeds on
- 31:04Saturday, then West Ham will be so fired up for and you imagine
- 31:09there'll be a pretty good atmosphere.
- 31:10So there could be AI could see a draw there potentially, you
- 31:15never know. Yeah, like you know, West Ham
- 31:18are an odd one and London Derby, so they're not going to want to
- 31:21do any favours for Arsenal and you know, they've got some
- 31:24special players like Bowen and stuff.
- 31:25You can just do something out of nowhere.
- 31:28Arsenal obviously, you know, probably absolutely shattered
- 31:30after all them celebrations as well.
- 31:33So who knows, who knows. I honestly think there's that's
- 31:37not the end of the title. There's more drama and there's
- 31:40more ridiculous content for us to enjoy from all of our beloved
- 31:45Arsenal fans. Yeah.
- 31:47But yeah, we'll see. We'll see.
- 31:48And as always, jazz. It's a preview.
- 31:50So that means challenge jazz. I feel we need some kind of
- 31:53like, theme music. If anyone listening are watching
- 31:57Fantasies, making some challenge jazz trivia, let us know.
- 32:01We'll get AI on it. Yeah.
- 32:04Yeah, that's a good shout. Rogue One.
- 32:07I did go down the route of looking at our last fixture at
- 32:11Stadium Light, which you mentioned earlier on nine years
- 32:14ago. Very random question for me, but
- 32:16it was a three no win and it was Latan Mikitarian and younger
- 32:21Marcus Rashford when he still loved Man United.
- 32:24Terrible. My very random question for you
- 32:26in that fixture is who played in gold for us that day?
- 32:31Nine years ago. And.
- 32:36I'll do some logic. Oh, nailed on.
- 32:40I got it, yeah. Yes.
- 32:44Where did that come from? I was.
- 32:46Watching what was I watching it? So talking the Devils did a quiz
- 32:52thing the day and they were naming OK, right.
- 32:57They were naming goalkeepers. So OK, where it was, it wasn't,
- 32:59it wasn't that specific question.
- 33:03And he reminded me of him basically.
- 33:06And then it just it made sense timeline wise.
- 33:10I'm working class class Number. Two very good number. 2 if you
- 33:15if you'd. Have said that question without
- 33:18you saying who the goal scorers were earlier on.
- 33:21It would have found it a lot I reckon.
- 33:24I've ruined my own question. Brilliant, yeah, but still I.
- 33:26Feel fairly impressive. I was good.
- 33:29That was good, I'll give you that.
- 33:30And you didn't even miss a beat. And I'm going to check my notes
- 33:32afterwards and make sure I didn't send it to you in my.
- 33:35Yeah. Definitely didn't.
- 33:37That was really good. And actually I watched, I
- 33:39watched the highlights back of that and it just made me
- 33:42appreciate his last time again. Yeah, he scored a great goal and
- 33:47then he got an assist for Rashford as well.
- 33:48And just what a player to have upfront.
- 33:50Yeah, we should have. Signed in 5-10 years before
- 33:54yeah. Wonderful player.
- 33:56Wonderful player. Well, you've nailed that Jazz.
- 33:58Superb. Very impressed.
- 34:00Very impressed. But what do you guys think?
- 34:02I mean, you didn't even get a chance to get it quicker than
- 34:04Jazz because you just got it right away.
- 34:07But let us know if you would have got it.
- 34:09What do you think about this game?
- 34:10Do you agree with our lineup? Do you agree with my lineup?
- 34:13Chazzes lineup? You've got your own.
- 34:15What do you think about the score and the scorers?
- 34:18Let us know in the comments. Don't forget also adding where
- 34:20you're watching or listening from, how long you've been
- 34:23supplying United and tell us why you love them.
