Week 27 Premier League Recap · Premier League Playground: Lad and Dad

• 0:05
  Welcome to the Week 27 edition of the Premier League
• 0:09
  Playground. I am the dad, Bjorn with me as
• 0:12
  always, as the star of our show The Last Good.
• 0:15
  Miller. And how are you today, Luca?
• 0:18
  Good, good. How's your week been going?
• 0:20
  Good, I can't do much. You play today does work today.
• 0:28
  Yeah, we appreciate it. I I play in a men's league and
• 0:31
  look at occasionally can come out.
• 0:32
  A lot of times your practices interfere.
• 0:35
  But hopefully my practices don't go on Thursday so I can go.
• 0:39
  Earlier games we can go down, we can watch the game and yes, it
• 0:42
  is certainly helpful to not have to chase the balls around as you
• 0:46
  get older, Lucas. Nice.
• 0:51
  Yeah. And so you look ugly.
• 0:53
  We we have many games this past weekend because we were by
• 0:55
  skiing in North Carolina. Was it a good trip?
• 0:57
  Yeah, we had fun. We went with one of with two
• 1:01
  other families and there were some kids and you guys all go
• 1:03
  along. You did some good skiing.
• 1:04
  So we all don't break from some playing great skiing.
• 1:12
  Success. We.
• 1:13
  Don't have any games to talk about this weekend.
• 1:16
  You've got a game scheduled, so maybe when we do our next one we
• 1:19
  can talk a little bit about your game.
• 1:20
  But yeah, look, the Week 27 we are all along here in the
• 1:25
  Premier League. We actually have 11 games to get
• 1:28
  through because Arsenal and Wolves actually played twice.
• 1:31
  So Arsalan, Wolves played because Arsenal is in the
• 1:35
  Carabao Cup final against Man City saying to reschedule the
• 1:39
  game for that weekend and Man City has to reschedule the game.
• 1:42
  Crystal, this hasn't been rescheduled yet.
• 1:44
  So every Yeah. So right now, right now Arsenal
• 1:50
  have played one more game than everybody but Wolves because
• 1:53
  like I said, they're the two teams that sort of got an
• 1:55
  earlier game, you know, I guess out of the way or just done.
• 1:59
  Yes, Arsenal, Wolves have played 28 games.
• 2:01
  Everybody else has played 27. But at some point, like I said,
• 2:05
  obviously that will be made-up. But yes, so we have two Arsenal
• 2:10
  games to talk about, one terrible, one good, yes, but we
• 2:13
  might as well, you know, RIP off the Band-Aid.
• 2:15
  Talk about the bad game first. It's it's hard to believe this
• 2:18
  was a bad game. We had Wolves hosting Arsenal
• 2:21
  Luke in our first game of the week.
• 2:23
  Talk to me about this game. No, we're talking about Chelsea,
• 2:25
  Burnley. Move right off. 22, you know.
• 2:30
  Bye. Yeah, you talk about it.
• 2:35
  Take us through. All.
• 2:38
  Right, well stop. It scores in the 5th minute and
• 2:40
  can't be a scores in the 56th minute.
• 2:42
  So Arsenal look like the governor and can cruise control.
• 2:46
  Easy win. No, if you've watched Arsenal
• 2:49
  all this season, you know that Like she's never so bueno.
• 2:53
  Scores a really nice goal in the 61st minute and did Dosi in 95th
• 3:01
  minute. Very unlucky for Cal Fiori, but
• 3:04
  like RYA and Gabrielle kind of had miscommunication.
• 3:07
  Gabrielle goes to hit it, Rye goes to claim it, and then they
• 3:11
  stole the ball, falls right to him and then he like bounces off
• 3:15
  Cal Fiori, hits the post, hits Cal Fiori again and goes in.
• 3:19
  So yeah, that's that. And Arsenal have dropped seven
• 3:25
  points from winning positions in 2026 so far and Bueno and Edosi
• 3:30
  get first ever. Yeah, this is So look at only
• 3:34
  Crystal Palace in West Ham have dropped points from winning
• 3:37
  positions in 2026. They've dropped eight points
• 3:40
  from. So it's a troubling trend for
• 3:42
  Arsenal for sure. I mean, we'll kind of get on to
• 3:45
  the, you know, they had that, you know, a couple days later,
• 3:47
  come back and play spur and talk about that.
• 3:49
  This was, I mean, look, I know it's a tie, but we've talked
• 3:53
  about how if you're sitting, your Arsenal ties were like, you
• 3:56
  know, you just you cannot afford any kind of slip off.
• 3:59
  I mean, for people that don't bring up the Wolves are in last
• 4:02
  place on 10 points. They've one win, 7 draws and 20
• 4:06
  losses. And Arsenal in first place went
• 4:09
  there, had a two goal lead until the what?
• 4:12
  Like when did well, I didn't have two goal lead until the.
• 4:16
  61st. Yeah, 61st.
• 4:17
  So it's for 60 minutes. I mean, you can't close out one
• 4:20
  of the arguably worst teams ever in the Premier League.
• 4:25
  This this look good. I mean, This is why I think
• 4:28
  everybody thinks Arsenal, here they go again, they're going to
• 4:31
  choke again. They're going to bottle it.
• 4:33
  They're going to, you know, let City go right behind the city.
• 4:36
  They're getting guys healthy. They're in great form.
• 4:38
  They're winning these games and there's no roof for it.
• 4:41
  And this was one where you would have thought, all right, get the
• 4:43
  win here, then prepare for their, you know, North London
• 4:46
  Derby biggest rival. I mean, what did you think,
• 4:49
  Lucas? You say all that stuff.
• 4:56
  I'm a little nervous about our title chance this year.
• 4:59
  What did you think about the game, First off?
• 5:00
  I mean, you know, we. Did really good until the 61st
• 5:04
  minute. Until we gave up the goal, yeah.
• 5:07
  Now look, Bueno's goal again. It does feel like we've seen a
• 5:10
  lot of this from Arsenal, where maybe, yeah.
• 5:14
  But so yes, I agree with you. He's kind of outside the box.
• 5:17
  I would like to see a defender close that down, but he's got
• 5:19
  how many times have we seen guys hit these kind of worldly shots?
• 5:22
  I mean, I think the two Man United goals, we've got a lot
• 5:25
  like just unbelievable shots against us.
• 5:28
  But you know, if a deflator is closing out that space, not
• 5:33
  giving them that kind of time, maybe you get a little
• 5:35
  deflection on it. Maybe they rush the shot of
• 5:37
  Typhus. They rush no offenses, it's on
• 5:41
  social media and be like, OK, we have a technical change pressure
• 5:46
  guy. When they're about to shoot on
• 5:48
  the outside box, like into Fernandez, they're in the
• 5:51
  carrying backup semi final second leg.
• 5:54
  Yes, it's very specific. I'm just all over us.
• 5:58
  I'm surprised he didn't get like a banger.
• 6:00
  He had like three shots out of the outside of the box, 1
• 6:04
  pressure in him and well, hopefully they all went over the
• 6:07
  bar and sit right save or I think he was kept on goal.
• 6:12
  But yeah, the Man United Dorgu and he wouldn't have lost that
• 6:17
  game if it wasn't for Arsenal's defense.
• 6:20
  Enough stepping up on him. Yeah, it's tough.
• 6:23
  And then the final play, look, I mean, it's just, you know, and
• 6:26
  Arsenal really were bad in the second-half.
• 6:27
  I mean, they really were bad. And this is a game again.
• 6:30
  Yeah, you're in total control. 60 minutes of the game, 2
• 6:33
  nothing. And there's like, they just look
• 6:35
  this, yes. It just, I guess it's just like
• 6:38
  they can't complete passes. They can't hold on to the ball.
• 6:41
  And then you let teams back into it and even bad Premier League
• 6:44
  teams, you let them back into it.
• 6:46
  You give them that little bit of life.
• 6:47
  The home crowd gets behind them. They sense that they can at
• 6:49
  least get a draw out of it. And then in the end, it's just
• 6:52
  chaotic. Like you said, a ball gets
• 6:54
  played. It should either be headed away
• 6:55
  by Gabrielle or Ryan comes and claims that they sort of bang
• 6:58
  into each other while spills to a nosy he rackets it, California
• 7:02
  standing on the goal. It's just unlucky.
• 7:05
  You know, it's a rocket. But like a lot of times he's
• 7:07
  going to be able to clear that or getting away, hits off of
• 7:09
  him, hits off the post and then it sort of squirts over the
• 7:12
  line, hits him. Again.
• 7:14
  Hits him again, right yeah, yeah, him post him squirts over
• 7:17
  the line I mean it's just I mean you want to talk about a gut
• 7:20
  punch, Luke. I mean, you know, we had just
• 7:22
  arrived in North Carolina and I'm like following this and I
• 7:25
  see just about to close the same, get 3 points, start our
• 7:29
  vacation off on a good note. And I see the good score GO-22.
• 7:33
  I mean, what a gut punch there because.
• 7:37
  Watching the what a spit in the game and I turned it on when it
• 7:42
  was 2 two. I was like, dad, what's the
• 7:44
  score? Because remember, like 20
• 7:45
  minutes ago, you're telling me it's 21 and like it's 2 to.
• 7:50
  I was like, what? Yeah.
• 7:52
  Yeah, just really rough. I mean, luckily we'll have
• 7:55
  another game here to talk. Arsenal does.
• 7:58
  They do respond pretty well. So let's move off of this.
• 8:01
  We'll talk a little more Arsenal on the game against Spurs.
• 8:03
  Let's move over to Chelsea. That's numerous.
• 8:07
  Anyways, this ends 11. I predict it'd be two known.
• 8:11
  Chelsea, Pedro. Pedro.
• 8:24
  In the fourth minute, gets a goal.
• 8:26
  Being assisted by Pedro, they played in in three on the left
• 8:31
  side. He plays a nice ball across and
• 8:34
  Pedro is like just. Pedro to Pedro and then feel
• 8:40
  fun. That just gets a red card for a
• 8:42
  second yellow then. Flimty hang me about that like
• 8:46
  take take me through he he was on a yellow and take me through
• 8:49
  what happened in your thoughts? On the right side and so far it
• 8:56
  kind of comes in and gets him like on the ball of the ankle
• 9:01
  studs up and there's somebody on the yellow and just yeah, I
• 9:07
  think it's a foul in my opinion because.
• 9:10
  What's a foul? You think it's a yellow?
• 9:12
  Oh yes, yes, that's what I meant.
• 9:14
  OK. You said that's a yellow.
• 9:15
  He's on the yellow, so he's talking.
• 9:18
  Yes. And it's just another Chelsea.
• 9:21
  Like it's like, are you giving up?
• 9:23
  Like it's from leading positions.
• 9:26
  Chelsea's 6 red card in the Premier League this year?
• 9:29
  That's his. He's gotten a red card.
• 9:33
  And they've played 27 games and six of those games they've lost
• 9:37
  the player to a right now. And I think they have maybe two
• 9:40
  or three other red cards and other competitions.
• 9:42
  I know in the Premier League it's at least six.
• 9:45
  That's that's crazy. I just didn't.
• 9:47
  Imagine I had to give you about 4.3 a game, a red card a game
• 9:53
  ever. 4.3 Yes. I mean, really brutal,
• 9:57
  especially when they're in this sort of dog fight for a
• 10:00
  Champions League spot. It looked like they were pretty
• 10:02
  safe for a Champions League spot, you know, a couple weeks
• 10:05
  ago. But back-to-back draws look
• 10:07
  good, you know. Bradford I mean like finish up.
• 10:11
  Finish up the game. So yeah, so we have the red
• 10:13
  card. So so Chelsea, Chelsea's up 1,
• 10:15
  nothing. Fofana gets the red, so now
• 10:17
  they're down the man. But yes, and scores in the 94th
• 10:21
  minute off of a header off of a James WordPress corner kick.
• 10:25
  We know he's really good at set pieces.
• 10:28
  And yeah, Chelsea lost 2 new lead to leads.
• 10:35
  Oh, oh, wait. Chelsea in their last home game
• 10:39
  were up to nothing and tide leads to two, so they know it's
• 10:43
  two newly promoted teams at home of draft points and that's a
• 10:47
  that's a big problem for this did.
• 10:49
  They have a red card. I don't think they had a red
• 10:51
  card in that one though. I.
• 10:53
  Think they did, but you know, Pedro Luca, he's doing real
• 10:56
  well. His 14th goal, he's has eleven
• 11:00
  goals in the Premier League. He's 4th in the Premier League
• 11:02
  in scoring. Chelsea, like I said, it's a big
• 11:06
  deal. You know, we keep talking about
• 11:08
  this and just to sort of explain to everybody, the top five teams
• 11:11
  in the Premier League will make champions.
• 11:13
  The 6th place team will make what's called your robot league.
• 11:16
  There's a massive difference in like prestige and also a massive
• 11:20
  difference in the money you get. So for these teams, if you don't
• 11:24
  make Champions League, there is, you know, maybe close to like,
• 11:27
  you know, anyway, probably from like 50 to $100 million
• 11:30
  difference. A lot of that depends too how
• 11:32
  far you go in the tournament once you're in it.
• 11:34
  But that's a lot of money that if you finish in 6th or 7th
• 11:37
  place that you don't have. Plus, if you're trying to
• 11:40
  recruit players to be able to say hey, you get to come to
• 11:43
  let's say Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United and then you get to
• 11:47
  play in Champions League. It's easier for players if you
• 11:50
  don't. Exactly.
• 11:53
  So that's why we keep talking about these top five, you know,
• 11:57
  making Champions League in that 6 sevenths final, Europa League
• 12:00
  and then the other league below Europa League, Europa Conference
• 12:04
  League. But for these top teams, you
• 12:06
  know, it's a big deal, like I said, in terms of recruiting
• 12:09
  players and the money they get. So that's why we keep talking
• 12:11
  about 14 days for a lot of these teams.
• 12:13
  We we know that Arsenal and City are going to finish in the top
• 12:15
  too. So they're one of them will win,
• 12:17
  the other will get second, but they're both going to make
• 12:19
  champions. So really it's these, you know,
• 12:21
  3-4 and 5th that we're keeping an eye on.
• 12:23
  Villa, United, Chelsea, Liverpool, probably not Redford
• 12:27
  anymore, you know, but it's going to be one of those big
• 12:29
  teams is going to miss out on the Champions of this time. 6.
• 12:35
  Yeah. Chelsea.
• 12:36
  Chelsea is a big six, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 12:38
  So yeah. Now Villa wouldn't be considered
• 12:41
  a big six. The other one, but they're just
• 12:45
  trying to get relegates. Big 16, please.
• 12:51
  Brentford had a steam price. Yeah, this game ends true no
• 12:54
  brain. I actually predicted to be no
• 12:57
  Bradford 30th minute off of like an ARE hit off the crossbar.
• 13:04
  Then he gets through Gomez gets the rebound and well in the 45 +
• 13:09
  2 just possible defending. I don't know what he was doing.
• 13:13
  Kind of like he whiffed it. I don't know.
• 13:16
  It's like he tried to trap it and then he overran it and just
• 13:19
  literally leaves the ball for Wilbank.
• 13:21
  I just tapped in. It's like he it was weird.
• 13:25
  Stuffed for a second no. And.
• 13:30
  Then, as the old time appearance record was 654, now overtaking
• 13:34
  Gareth Berry, he's also It's on the minutes list, so he's played
• 13:39
  654 games, but not that many minutes.
• 13:43
  So that's kind of interesting. Wolbeck's night.
• 13:47
  Only in the 2425 season did he have more than 10?
• 13:51
  Yeah. Did he have more with?
• 13:54
  10 last season, that was his best output ever, but he looks
• 13:57
  like he's maybe going to go past it this season.
• 13:59
  I mean, we've talked about him before.
• 14:00
  He's been really good and important player for them, just
• 14:03
  like kind of Calvin Lou has been important leads to be able to
• 14:06
  store goals. Yeah, look, I think the story
• 14:09
  this really is is, you know, James Milner, Lucas, it's a
• 14:12
  massive record. I mean, he's now has more
• 14:14
  appearances in the Premier League than anybody else and
• 14:16
  that's incredible. It's his 23rd Premier League
• 14:18
  season, which is now a record. Gigs had 22 Premier League
• 14:22
  seasons, so he's got one more season than him.
• 14:25
  He look he he debuted in November 2020 O 2 I think 2000.
• 14:31
  2. 1002 in November he made his debut in the Premier League and
• 14:34
  he's team playing. He started the game today, still
• 14:38
  started the game wasn't today, but he started this week's game.
• 14:40
  It was 6 total clubs. He's just been one of those guys
• 14:43
  like that's like never been a superstar but just like a useful
• 14:45
  player and he's like a rolling clubhouse guy.
• 14:47
  What's that mean? Just like he gets along with
• 14:50
  people. He's a good leader.
• 14:51
  He's like, yeah, yeah. And I think he's just totally
• 14:54
  like in one of those players that sort of flies under the
• 14:56
  radar, You know, maybe he doesn't score a ton of goals or
• 14:59
  maybe he doesn't do anything. One thing in particular.
• 15:01
  Amazing. It's just been obviously very
• 15:03
  useful to be playing this long and still doing a good job and
• 15:07
  it's pretty incredible. So tip of the captain, Look, I
• 15:10
  mean, anytime you're now the all time leader in the Premier
• 15:13
  League and something that's pretty amazing.
• 15:15
  So and you know, I'm sure look he's going to be thrilled his
• 15:17
  team got a nice winner for a tough place to go and play and
• 15:21
  you know, they get 3 points. You know, Brighton's just going
• 15:23
  to be a mid table team. There's not much left.
• 15:25
  They're not going to get relegated.
• 15:26
  You know, they're sitting in 14. It's a bad loss for Brentford.
• 15:30
  You know, we kept talking about, you know, maybe they could sort
• 15:33
  of, you know, get a European spot.
• 15:34
  They're still in 7th but now Bournemouth two behind them,
• 15:38
  full on Everton three behind. You get a European spot
• 15:43
  technically. They could they could finish in
• 15:45
  7th to get AUA for Congress. Still big for them.
• 15:48
  It is it's not be kind of interesting now as you look, you
• 15:50
  know, maybe you know, this new council make a run and try to
• 15:53
  claim it be a full on Everton, Bournemouth bring for all kind
• 15:56
  of, you know, tightly in there. Maybe Sunderland kind of gets
• 16:00
  back on track. So yeah, it's it'll be a big
• 16:02
  deal for any of those teams to to kind of claim that seventh
• 16:06
  spot. They're still in there.
• 16:08
  Their coach is not a good job. Luke.
• 16:09
  They just signed him to a contract extension.
• 16:11
  Keith Andrews, he was his first time coaching the team was their
• 16:14
  set piece coach last year. So you know, look, they get, you
• 16:18
  know, their coach leaves to go to time and he's already been
• 16:20
  fired from time. They're thrilled to have Keith
• 16:23
  Andrews there. He's done a great job and he
• 16:25
  gets a contract extension. So good for them.
• 16:27
  He was. Good.
• 16:29
  We wish Mill like a hat trick on on the appearance breaking game.
• 16:35
  That was a nice goal, but I got him a nice yeah.
• 16:40
  How long did I? I don't think he played like he
• 16:43
  didn't play for 90s. Yeah, I'm not sure I'll have to
• 16:46
  play, but all right, let's move over to Villa who's team Weeds.
• 16:50
  This game is 1. I predict to be two two.
• 16:54
  Yes, I did stick in the 31st minute.
• 16:58
  It's a worldly free kick. And then Abraham in the 88th
• 17:01
  minute, just salvage is a point for Aston Villa, 19 points from
• 17:08
  losing positions this season, most in the Premier League.
• 17:11
  And that steps through free kick goal this year.
• 17:14
  So he's really good at free kicks.
• 17:16
  Yeah, basically, like you said, he's one of those as we know,
• 17:19
  sort of some of the free kick special as you mentioned, like
• 17:21
  James Ward perhaps. Is known as rice.
• 17:23
  Free kick specialist. Rice is like a free kick
• 17:25
  specialist. Like Rice does a ton of other
• 17:28
  things. Well, some of those guys who you
• 17:30
  know, I don't want to say Stack even only does free kicks.
• 17:34
  He's a guy when Leeds gets a free kick, keep an eye on him
• 17:36
  because he is he had some really good wants, some important
• 17:39
  goals. Another point for Leeds, you
• 17:41
  know, as they kind of just, you know, keep trying to essentially
• 17:45
  make sure that they're safe. You know, the last time Leeds
• 17:48
  were in the in the Premier League was a 2223 season and
• 17:52
  they finished with 31 points and they're already on 31 points and
• 17:55
  they have 11 games left. So they're already putting
• 17:58
  together a much better season than they did it last time.
• 18:01
  And they did get relegated last time.
• 18:03
  So I think they're looking in pretty good.
• 18:05
  So they're on 31 points. West Ham is an 18th 25, so
• 18:10
  obviously that's The thing is you don't want to finish in 18th
• 18:12
  because then you get relegated. So they've got a six point
• 18:14
  cushion there, you know, 2 draws in their last two and it'll win
• 18:19
  before that. So you know, you're looking at
• 18:20
  like say hi, we got five points out of our last three games.
• 18:23
  You know, too bad. They probably just need like 3
• 18:26
  or 4 more points I think and they're probably safe, which
• 18:28
  would be a good story for them. Villa Luca, it feels like all
• 18:34
  right, so now they had another draw here Man United have been
• 18:37
  coming on filling out only three on Man United for 3rd place.
• 18:42
  So feels like maybe they're seeing, you know, Man United
• 18:45
  come for them here on 3rd. How?
• 18:47
  Far is third place from 2nd. Second, there are so there are
• 18:51
  five points behind City and they're 10 points behind.
• 18:55
  OK, so, you know, good spot. Villa are in a good spot.
• 18:57
  I think they're a good enough team.
• 18:59
  I definitely think they're going to finish, you know, top five.
• 19:02
  You know, I I do wonder if they may finish in fourth.
• 19:05
  I feel like United been playing so well lately.
• 19:08
  You know, I just feel like Villa's been a little shaky
• 19:12
  here. You know, they, they rely on
• 19:14
  like it's a lot of times coming back in these games.
• 19:17
  You know, it's hard to keep the line on comebacks.
• 19:19
  Yeah. We'll see.
• 19:21
  Like I said, they're in a good spot that.
• 19:24
  Is nothing so good for you not? Looking good so I bet Liverpool
• 19:28
  would overtake the it's a six point difference from 11 games
• 19:32
  to go so it's it's. All around the.
• 19:35
  Possibility, but Liverpool have been very good They they somehow
• 19:38
  seem to scratch out when they don't deserve it.
• 19:40
  So we'll see we'll see on that all way to golf for these teams.
• 19:45
  I said, you know, I think this is, you know, one of the
• 19:48
  storylines is our summer city. The other storyline to me, four
• 19:51
  teams playing for three champions, so Billy and Chelsea,
• 19:55
  Liverpool, we'll see which 3. Kind of a boring game here.
• 19:59
  Not much to say, but West Ham posted Bournemouth this week. 00
• 20:03
  I predict to be 11, so I also predicted a tie for this game.
• 20:07
  And that's right, yeah, XG for West Ham was 2.82 and versus 6
• 20:16
  or P-65 and shots 20 versus 10. And West Ham now two points
• 20:22
  behind Nottingham for for 17. Yeah, West Ham have been better,
• 20:26
  Luca. Like they they've one loss in
• 20:28
  their last eight matches. So last 8, five wins, a loss and
• 20:31
  two draws, like they're better and you know, the XG, which is
• 20:34
  expected goals, you know, they should have gotten a win in this
• 20:39
  game. They clearly played Bournemouth.
• 20:42
  Sometimes, you know, we don't play to XG.
• 20:44
  You play it like actual goals that go in.
• 20:46
  So. But I think the point is it that
• 20:49
  like I said, West Ham are playing a little bit better.
• 20:52
  They're obviously looking trying to make a push.
• 20:53
  They're in 18th like you said, two points behind Forest, 4
• 20:57
  points behind Spurs for 16th and 17th.
• 21:00
  It's going to be a tight race here living with these teams.
• 21:03
  But I think West Ham, The thing is, I actually think Forest have
• 21:06
  been playing pretty decent too. So it'll be real interesting to
• 21:09
  me, you know, do Spurs turn this around?
• 21:12
  Can Farce and West Ham get enough points?
• 21:16
  The relegation battle for that 18th spot is going to be really
• 21:19
  interesting coming down because I actually think when you look
• 21:21
  at it, Forest and West Ham are actually playing pretty well
• 21:24
  right now. So can they say they are?
• 21:28
  They are, and we'll get on to the other four points right now
• 21:33
  by West Ham. How many above not enforced?
• 21:39
  Oh my gosh. I thought West Ham was that same
• 21:49
  week we won by West Ham. Yeah, yeah.
• 21:53
  I mean, it's, it's really tight talking.
• 21:55
  Like I said, we'll get on to them with the Arsenal game, but
• 21:57
  they've been just awful and they've themselves and really
• 22:00
  bad. So, yeah.
• 22:03
  So like I said, you know, West Ham, you know, look, I mean with
• 22:06
  this game, they disappointed they didn't get 3 points, you
• 22:09
  know, they, they outplayed them. But it is what it is.
• 22:13
  So let's move over to City hosting Newcast.
• 22:16
  Oh yeah, it's 2 to one City I predicted to be 3 to Newcastle,
• 22:20
  O'Reilly and 14 minute scores and Hall in the 22nd and
• 22:25
  O'Reilly hit from the 22nd, 27th minute.
• 22:28
  So everything in the first half pretty much.
• 22:31
  Yeah, he got. That's his first ever brace and
• 22:34
  now City unbeaten and last eight with in all competitions with
• 22:38
  seven wins and one drop. Yeah, I don't know there's much
• 22:41
  to say about Newcastle this game.
• 22:42
  They they know Bruno, that's a big, big loss for them around.
• 22:47
  You know, the city get a gold, they kind of answer back, the
• 22:50
  city get another one. And then like it was relatively
• 22:53
  comfortable. I mean, I guess Newcastle had a
• 22:55
  couple chances, but this is just not Newcastle, just not that
• 22:58
  great A-Team. I mean, you know, we the
• 23:03
  Newcastle are not a great team. Yeah.
• 23:04
  I mean, I don't think. Players on the team, it couldn't
• 23:10
  beat like this. Players, we've been saying that
• 23:12
  all year. They have ten wins, 6 strolls
• 23:15
  and 11 society. That's a team.
• 23:18
  They have more losses than wins. I don't think over saying
• 23:21
  Newcastle's going to turn around for a long time.
• 23:24
  I was like, yes, Newcastle's going to go on a run.
• 23:26
  They've got too many good players.
• 23:28
  I think we're going to finish like 9th.
• 23:30
  I just don't see this team. They've got 4 losses in their
• 23:33
  last five in the Premier League. You know they had a couple
• 23:36
  injuries, but everybody has. But I'm just, I just don't see
• 23:41
  it from Newcastle, you know, I just yeah, I mean we're 27 games
• 23:45
  into the season. They just haven't shown me
• 23:47
  enough. I mean goal differential or a -1
• 23:51
  38 goals for 39 against. I mean that's what they are.
• 23:55
  They're just like a mid table team.
• 23:57
  I just, I don't see them going on a lot of like, you know, four
• 24:01
  wins and five and really pushing hard to get even 7th at this
• 24:04
  point would be good for that. I mean, they're not out of it by
• 24:07
  any means. I mean they're only like 4
• 24:09
  points off of 7th. But you know, I think this is
• 24:14
  but the story, I mean, I don't want to spend too much time with
• 24:16
  you. The story is obviously sitting
• 24:17
  just right now steam rolling everybody they see, you know,
• 24:22
  they've had a semain young gay when they had injuries.
• 24:24
  Well, now they're getting guys back.
• 24:25
  So there's multiple options. Pep started Marmouche and
• 24:27
  Holland up top in this game. Sort of a different little bit
• 24:30
  of a formation there. Usually it's like 1 or the
• 24:32
  other. Holland's now dishing off
• 24:34
  getting assists. I mean we'll see.
• 24:37
  You know, again, I I don't think this is like a vintage city site
• 24:41
  from a couple years ago where they just win every game or the
• 24:44
  year they put up 100 points. I don't think they're was that
• 24:47
  some. Trouble in the year?
• 24:48
  I don't remember, but you know, I I don't think they're that
• 24:52
  good, but you know, I don't know that you need to be amazing to
• 24:55
  win the Premier League this year.
• 24:57
  You know, I I think you just need to be really, really good.
• 25:00
  It's basically a two team race. It's.
• 25:02
  All come down to that City Arsenal game.
• 25:04
  It's feeling like that at the end of April and yeah, I mean,
• 25:08
  so City play Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, but again,
• 25:12
  that that means nothing for the league.
• 25:14
  But yeah, Arsenal can go through.
• 25:16
  Well, we're going. To win it.
• 25:19
  We're not going to win the trophy.
• 25:20
  We always think one just trophy before we told ourselves
• 25:25
  bottling this. I mean, there's, you know,
• 25:26
  multiple chances in the league and now you would like a head
• 25:30
  City probably dead and buried like a month ago.
• 25:34
  All we do is keep draping points, the Wolves and all these
• 25:37
  teams. I mean, it's just like we've
• 25:38
  given City every opportunity to get back in it and now they're
• 25:42
  back in it because again, it's a 5 point difference, but we have
• 25:45
  to now say they have a game in hand.
• 25:48
  So it's really if City win, it's a 2 point difference.
• 25:51
  Which basically means it's interesting to think about
• 25:53
  because Arsenal play City, both teams control their own destiny,
• 25:56
  which means if both teams win every game, they win the
• 25:59
  premier, right? Because they play each other.
• 26:02
  So if we win all our games, we win the Premier League, City win
• 26:05
  all their games, they win the Premier League.
• 26:07
  It's it's kind of one of those interesting things because of
• 26:09
  the game, like you said, it feels like you know that game,
• 26:14
  you know where it'll be interesting to see where they
• 26:16
  are in the standings going into that game.
• 26:18
  But it just, it feels like that's going to be like a title
• 26:20
  deciding game. As close as we have like a Super
• 26:23
  Bowl in the Premier League. I don't know that game is
• 26:25
  shaping up for it. We'll see.
• 26:27
  We have a bunch of games to go before that.
• 26:30
  Like that could be like an earlier late birthday present
• 26:32
  for me. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:34
  Varsity win draw. Let me take that.
• 26:38
  Well, it all depends if that's what I'm saying.
• 26:40
  It all depends like we can't just say, well, we're going to
• 26:42
  go into that game two points up because we are essentially, you
• 26:45
  know, 2 points up now it's who knows what's going to happen.
• 26:50
  I feel like it'll be within a point or two either way, maybe
• 26:53
  city or a point or two up. Well, then we have the win.
• 26:56
  If you're if we're up on them, then yeah, of course you take a
• 26:59
  draw, you go up there, you say you take a draw, the game is
• 27:01
  done. Nobody gained any points.
• 27:04
  But if you're behind, well, then you have to go and win, you
• 27:06
  know. But now if we're up, City may
• 27:08
  feel like, well, they got to go ahead.
• 27:10
  So it's just it's real interesting to see what will
• 27:12
  happen over the next couple weeks with some of these games,
• 27:14
  because also I don't think Arsenal or City are just going
• 27:17
  to go and win all their games until I don't see, I see falls
• 27:21
  in both teams. So as much as City are doing
• 27:24
  great now, and maybe it's just wishful thinking on my park, the
• 27:27
  Cities certainly have shown us that they can just go on these
• 27:29
  runs of twelve wins in a row. You know, I still think they'll
• 27:34
  drop points. I think unfortunately there's no
• 27:36
  will too. So yes, don't feel.
• 27:39
  We are some will, Oh my gosh, don't get me started, or some
• 27:42
  are going to. What falls do you see in city?
• 27:49
  I don't see the dominant teams from before, but they were just
• 27:51
  possessed when they were able to get the ball before.
• 27:54
  City would like get the ball and never let you have it.
• 27:56
  They have like possession. They'd be passing it around and
• 27:59
  almost just like wear you down and just get like goals.
• 28:02
  Or they'd get up two or three goals and just sort of like pass
• 28:05
  the ball around. I think they'd turn the ball
• 28:07
  over too much in the midfield. I still think there's question
• 28:10
  marks on their defense. I still think you can get it
• 28:12
  then with long balls over the top.
• 28:15
  You know some of their wingers. You know, I like Semenyo a lot,
• 28:19
  Doku Savino. I still have a little bit of
• 28:22
  questions about their. Star or something like all this
• 28:26
  information. I'm sure they know it.
• 28:29
  Look, this is just my opinion, I'm not saying I'm right.
• 28:31
  I mean, look, it's senior Doku will have hat tricks against us
• 28:34
  when we pay them through this thing.
• 28:35
  Savino hurt disapproved me. I'm sure he listens and he's not
• 28:43
  going to prove us well. I love Savino listening to our
• 28:46
  pod. Yeah, So, you know, we'll see.
• 28:49
  But like I said, I don't, you know, I think this year, the
• 28:52
  Premier League, I want to say just this year, but it really
• 28:55
  just got so much harder, you know, sitting on their first
• 28:58
  title like 15 years ago. And even in that 15 years, every
• 29:02
  team is so much better. They're technically better.
• 29:05
  It's just really hard to win because every week you know,
• 29:09
  there's just none of these teams we like.
• 29:10
  We should have all evolved in a steamroll.
• 29:12
  But even like Bulls give you a game, I mean you know, think of
• 29:15
  the trouble we have with wolves. Even at home it's a 2 uncles to
• 29:18
  win that game. Yeah, I would have walked with
• 29:20
  own goals kind of like it's, it's, that's an.
• 29:23
  I don't know how that's Idosy's goal.
• 29:26
  Well, I think because he shoots an ongo.
• 29:31
  Changes the direction of the ball.
• 29:34
  Either way, all right, Luke, let's move over to Nottingham
• 29:37
  Forest hosting Liberty. One no Liverpool is the
• 29:41
  callister the 98th minute and then I predicted one No 9 him
• 29:46
  Force. So he had not much except for
• 29:48
  that one goal in 98 minute and XG for for 9 and Force was 1.73
• 29:56
  versus Liverpool 1.19 and the Gallister had gone 2016 for that
• 30:03
  scoring until now. Yeah, I don't think he's been
• 30:06
  great for them this year. He was really good last year.
• 30:08
  I don't think he's been that great, but he's looked a little
• 30:11
  bit better. So no verse for them, Luther,
• 30:14
  and he's actually was playing really well and I think the
• 30:17
  combination of him and FKTK was really working.
• 30:19
  So I feel like that's actually it's funny that we're saying no
• 30:22
  flooring works is a big loss because we're saying how bad he
• 30:25
  was at the beginning of the season, but he's actually to be.
• 30:28
  I never thought he was that bad. And I actually think and he sort
• 30:31
  of like looked himself in and I think he's been really good and
• 30:34
  I think he's a real player for them.
• 30:35
  So it was a big loss for them not having them.
• 30:38
  But they were terrible on the first half.
• 30:39
  I mean, Forrest really should almost like this game away at
• 30:42
  half time. They just let him hang around.
• 30:45
  You know, there's a call where so Mccallister actually scores a
• 30:50
  goal over the goalie or now that the goalie makes a save,
• 30:53
  Nottingham Forest defender goes to clear it.
• 30:54
  Mccalls really like jumps up, turns his back, kind of blasts
• 30:58
  it off kind of his back and farm and it goes in.
• 31:01
  They call it though they VAR overturned it because of a
• 31:04
  handball. I actually think this is a goal.
• 31:08
  So what he's supposed to do, he's really jumping and turning
• 31:10
  his hands at his side and the guy's like, you know, half a
• 31:13
  foot away and blasts it off him and in.
• 31:15
  I don't know how it's a handle. So in some ways I feel like the
• 31:18
  Mccawl Sir justice was done. He gets his goal, but I don't
• 31:21
  think the Liverpool deserves to win in this game and far some
• 31:24
  playing better again, they're in this kind of relegation battle.
• 31:28
  This is going to be a tough loss for them at home at least a lot
• 31:31
  of you have got point in this game.
• 31:33
  Liverpool, look at that. They're a charm to teams in
• 31:36
  this. It's the 48th winning Premier
• 31:39
  League goal, an extra time. That's 12 more than any other
• 31:42
  club over the top in the Premier League.
• 31:46
  They've scored 48 winning goals in extra time.
• 31:49
  I mean, so in just the context is that's 12 more than any other
• 31:53
  club. I mean, oh, Liverpool gets an
• 31:55
  extra time and then just like all of a sudden start banging in
• 31:57
  goals. I mean, I mean, that is a bit of
• 32:01
  a lucky stat. But you know, some people say
• 32:04
  you make your own luck. They're a good team.
• 32:06
  They're an attacking team. I don't know, Liverpool been a
• 32:09
  good team. It's not like it's a huge
• 32:10
  surprise that like a good teams doing good things. 9292, it's
• 32:19
  only been around for what 33 slash 34 years and if it.
• 32:28
  Yeah, game-winning extra time. That's not just that doesn't
• 32:32
  include goals you score goals you scored a time, those are
• 32:35
  goals, game-winning goals that win you the game. 48 * 3012 more
• 32:40
  than any other team. Oh my gosh.
• 32:43
  Big three points for them, boy, do they need it.
• 32:45
  I mean, you know, they're still right now tied with Chelsea in
• 32:47
  5th. So they really needed those
• 32:50
  three points. All right, Luca, let's move over
• 32:53
  to to Sunderland full. OK so wait never mind.
• 32:59
  This game ends 31 form I predict to be 00.
• 33:04
  Jimenez gets two goals, one of the 54th minute and APK in the
• 33:08
  61st minute. I think it was probably like I
• 33:13
  couldn't forget who he pulled down, but he gets accused of
• 33:19
  pulling someone during a free kick and Jimenez just of course
• 33:24
  puts it away. He's just unbelievable penalties
• 33:26
  for whatever reason. And then the fee gets a peak in
• 33:30
  76 minutes and I will be an 85th minute nice Harry Wilson pass
• 33:37
  and it has not pretty good season.
• 33:43
  Wilson had now had had a sense now has trouble involvement
• 33:49
  since the start of November. So we talked about how good he's
• 33:55
  been for form. He's like their star player.
• 33:57
  He's like, they're rice, pretty much.
• 34:00
  Yeah, he's been great for them. And Iwobi's been good yet in a
• 34:03
  goal and an assist today, you know, good to see us.
• 34:06
  We're the next Arsenal player doing well.
• 34:09
  Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, only
• 34:10
  Holland and Bruno Fernandez have more goal involvements than
• 34:13
  Harry Wilson since the start of the year.
• 34:15
  I was 17. Bruno was 15.
• 34:17
  Pretty incredible. Yeah.
• 34:18
  Harry Wilson, Justin, unbelievable season for them.
• 34:21
  You know, Fulham, Lucas sitting there in 10th place.
• 34:24
  They've 37 points. But again, look three behind
• 34:26
  Redford and seven. So they're they're hanging
• 34:29
  around. I mean, you know, they didn't
• 34:30
  have a three losses in a row. And this is what I feel like
• 34:33
  Fulham do is they can never sort of string together a bunch of
• 34:35
  wins or some of those losses into draws.
• 34:39
  So we'll see what they can do. They get Tottenham this week.
• 34:42
  So we'll get your prediction on that.
• 34:43
  You would think that's a game. They go and say, all right,
• 34:45
  let's get a win there. Let's get some momentum.
• 34:48
  You know, like you said, M&S has been really, really good for
• 34:51
  them, contributing goals with my knees out.
• 34:55
  So yeah, big win. They went to the Stadium of
• 34:57
  Light. Tough place to go.
• 34:58
  Good win. Yes, very good win.
• 35:00
  All right, Luca, what about Crystal Palace hosting wolves?
• 35:02
  Let's get into one nail and I got it spot on.
• 35:05
  I predicted it to be 1 nil. Erica misses a pecan 43rd minute
• 35:11
  after one kind of comes from behind and gets accused by a
• 35:15
  penalty. And you like, you got chops and
• 35:18
  down. I knew it was Erica Dori though.
• 35:21
  Yeah, I don't think it was. I can't quite remember.
• 35:24
  He's a pretty. Clear thing.
• 35:25
  Yeah, it's definitely effective for me.
• 35:28
  Then Kritchy gets a second yellow in the right car in the
• 35:32
  61st minute. He gets like, he kicks the ball
• 35:36
  high, essentially, which, Oh my, it's so dumb.
• 35:40
  Why do that? Why?
• 35:42
  Why does he get a yellow and nobody else does?
• 35:45
  Except for Arsenal. Arsenal, Lance here got, you
• 35:48
  know, I mean, so, yeah, so we know that the rule went into
• 35:54
  place. If you kicked the ball the way
• 35:55
  last year, they were going to start giving out yellow cards
• 35:57
  and they enforced it for about 1/3 of the season.
• 35:59
  The match gave Arsenal a bunch. You know, they kicked two
• 36:01
  players out on red cards. Then the last half of last
• 36:04
  season, little bit nobody's here to care about it anymore.
• 36:07
  Beginning of this year, people kick the ball the way all the
• 36:09
  time. Crutchy now he doesn't like he
• 36:12
  volleys it and like literally kicks it away.
• 36:14
  But like, but why all of a sudden him, you know, I feel
• 36:18
  like I see it all the time. You know, it was literally 196
• 36:22
  seconds between his cards, picked up a yellow and then 196
• 36:25
  seconds later he kicks the ball away and the ref gives them a
• 36:27
  yellow. I think again, it's just the
• 36:29
  inconsistency of the referee, people kicking the ball away all
• 36:33
  the time. It's ridiculous.
• 36:34
  I mean, either call it all the time or just be like our go
• 36:39
  winner's not going to call it anymore.
• 36:40
  I mean, you know, it is what it is, but you know, it just feels
• 36:44
  like like why all of a sudden now anyway, go.
• 36:49
  Sean in the 91st minute he's on loan from Villa, he gets his
• 36:53
  first house going 91st minute when see five of his of last 15
• 37:00
  PK. He is faced in the Premier
• 37:02
  League, so he's he said the 1/3 of his PK that has been faced in
• 37:07
  the Premier League. Yeah, it's one of the best save
• 37:10
  records any. So his save percentage, which is
• 37:13
  33%, is now tied with Mark Bostnich, who saved 6 of 18.
• 37:17
  It's the same percentage. So for any goalie that's faced
• 37:21
  more than 15 PKS. So Dean Henderson, like he's has
• 37:24
  something that makes him very good at saving AK.
• 37:30
  So Henderson and Bosnich are first, that's what I said.
• 37:32
  So like they're the they're the top save percentage.
• 37:35
  If you, you know, if you face 2 penalties, they're not going to
• 37:37
  include you in this. So if you face at least 15
• 37:39
  penalties. So goalies have played a lot,
• 37:42
  they have the top save percentage of anybody.
• 37:44
  It's a pretty. One more out of his loss 2
• 37:48
  They'll they'll take over Bosnich.
• 37:50
  Yeah, you'd have a higher percentage.
• 37:52
  Yeah. Like I said, when Crystal
• 37:53
  Powells get a PK, they feel pretty confident.
• 37:55
  When Henderson back, that's really impressive because most
• 37:58
  of the time, you know, penalties are probably like 85% of the
• 38:01
  time. So if you're saving 33% really
• 38:05
  artly. What about Everton hosting Man
• 38:07
  U? One nail, not much.
• 38:10
  She's going 71st minute. In my school.
• 38:13
  I predicted 3-1 in the 71st minute.
• 38:17
  Yeah, I might have already said that, but anyway, it was like
• 38:23
  the length of the field. And then I was like, boy, moved
• 38:28
  to Cheska. All their three biggest shining.
• 38:30
  So Cunha plays a long ball. She just goes sprinting off.
• 38:34
  Just kind of outruns Krakowski critical finish and gets the
• 38:43
  winner. I have to say like this, all the
• 38:47
  big transfer flops that we were talking about, yo, Chris Chesco,
• 38:50
  Inverts said. They're all doing pretty well
• 38:53
  now. That's what they just have some
• 38:55
  have to have some time to settle in.
• 38:57
  Kind of like Everts. I've already said that, but
• 38:59
  yeah. Yeah.
• 39:00
  I mean, I think the lesson is like, like, you know, and like
• 39:03
  puts that big judgments on people, you know, a third of the
• 39:06
  way through a season. And again, I think especially to
• 39:09
  me, players that come from other leagues, you know, have more
• 39:13
  time. Like if you buy somebody from a
• 39:15
  Premier League team, they've been a couple years ago, you can
• 39:17
  expect a little bit more. But you know, these young sort
• 39:20
  of these younger guys that have come from some of these leagues,
• 39:22
  you know, side of England, you got to get up some time to like,
• 39:26
  you got to think about it like they're moving to a whole new
• 39:27
  country. Some of them are learning a
• 39:29
  whole new language. I mean, they're getting
• 39:30
  themselves sort of settled in. They have to live their lives in
• 39:32
  like a city they've never, never been in, let alone a whole new
• 39:35
  team. Tactics, you know, then getting
• 39:38
  used to the Premier League, the physicality, the speed, how good
• 39:40
  every team is this English and city Like it's not easy, you
• 39:44
  know, I mean. Well, Your Grace is through
• 39:47
  Sweden. I mean chess comes from either
• 39:52
  Slovenia and she versus from Germany and they both came from
• 39:57
  Portugal and two from Germany. So you got to give him some
• 40:01
  time. Yeah.
• 40:02
  Yeah. So, I mean, I think now we're
• 40:03
  showing this. Now we're like, you know, we're
• 40:05
  getting to like the last quarter of the season here.
• 40:07
  I think now you can start looking at these guys.
• 40:09
  And again, I think you probably need to give them the full year
• 40:12
  before you look make decisions about whether it was good.
• 40:15
  Sign Yeah. I'm starting to sort of see some
• 40:17
  of these players, like I said, settle in, find that Rosesco
• 40:20
  seems to be doing a little better coming off the bench.
• 40:22
  You know, it's a sub for them. He's scored some big balls as
• 40:25
  United make this huge push up the Table 3 points.
• 40:29
  You know, Michael Carrick with it as an interim manager, he's
• 40:32
  still undefeated. He's got 7 hands and two draws
• 40:35
  because he was an interim with him before.
• 40:38
  So Carrick had a couple games as an interim before even this
• 40:41
  season. Him to you know, he's not lost
• 40:43
  against managing United. It's it's incredible.
• 40:47
  Like he's obviously doing something right.
• 40:49
  I don't know if it's enough to say he needs to be the full time
• 40:52
  manager or not. I'll sort that out in the
• 40:53
  summer. But man, what a job he has done
• 40:57
  to turn this team around. He's got them right now all set
• 41:00
  up to be a Champions League side, possibly finishing third,
• 41:04
  you know, maybe 4th or 5th, but it is all set up for them.
• 41:07
  So at this point, Man United fan, I think you've got to be
• 41:11
  like super happy about what the direction of the team, how
• 41:14
  they're playing now. You're like dreaming about like
• 41:16
  we could be in Champions League, which I don't know if this
• 41:19
  before the season started the way they finished last year, how
• 41:22
  badly it was same manager comes back.
• 41:26
  I don't know that they would have said yeah like pro
• 41:28
  legitimate Champions League team.
• 41:30
  No. And Paul Alexander, you're
• 41:32
  having pretty good right now. I mean, that's pretty good.
• 41:35
  Yeah, 11 games to go, they're in force on 48 points, Chelsea
• 41:39
  three points behind them. So I mean, it's it's going to be
• 41:41
  tight. We'll see, you know, but they're
• 41:43
  going to have a winnable game against Dallas this week.
• 41:45
  So yeah, like I said, they're playing really, really well.
• 41:49
  They are a very, very tough team right now.
• 41:51
  Yes, all right, we do the. Final game, North London Derby,
• 41:55
  All right, the biggest one of the one of the biggest rivalries
• 41:58
  in all of soccer and you know, Arsenal's biggest rival.
• 42:02
  So this is a massive, massive rivalry game.
• 42:05
  We talked about Arsenal coming in the sky was falling.
• 42:09
  They had tied Wolves, you know. Now they're going to go to
• 42:13
  Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their biggest rival.
• 42:15
  Stores licking their champs, wounded Arsenal, everybody
• 42:18
  sometimes violated. Take me through the North London
• 42:20
  Derby loop in. Yes, First had absolutely no
• 42:24
  chance. I don't know what everyone's
• 42:25
  telling you that 41 these games had combined score of eight to
• 42:31
  two in two games. Well, you predicted the goal
• 42:33
  difference, right? You predicted nothing.
• 42:35
  Win. And it was four one.
• 42:36
  Yeah. Almost had it right.
• 42:41
  Anyway, scores in a nice little volley, 32nd minute and two
• 42:46
  minutes after that he gets wait, yeah, you get to go and
• 42:52
  everyone's freaking out at this point.
• 42:54
  Sparks back in it. Arsenal are bottling the game
• 42:56
  again. Yorkers in the 47th minute is in
• 43:01
  the 61st 1st minute. I think you're crazy.
• 43:04
  Again in the 95 minute. Yeah, incredible game.
• 43:12
  Yeah, big response live from Arsenal.
• 43:14
  You know, I'll, I'll say this. Spurs had a lot of injuries, OK,
• 43:18
  A lot of guys out for them, but they're in, they're in a mess of
• 43:22
  trouble and I'm going to talk too much about them.
• 43:24
  You know, get on Arsenal in a second.
• 43:26
  They're in a three straight losses and on 16, like you said,
• 43:30
  there are four points among the relegations.
• 43:33
  They'll get some guys back. You know, they fired their
• 43:35
  manager. The interim manager Igor Tudor
• 43:38
  came in his first game in charge.
• 43:40
  But I mean, Luca as a five goals this year in Spurs, like he he
• 43:45
  just, he really hates Spurs. The right place, my friend.
• 43:50
  Yeah, I mean, so as a hat trick in the first game had two goals.
• 43:55
  He has five games against Spurs now.
• 43:56
  He's only been on the team for one year.
• 43:58
  He's only played two games. The only two Arsenal players in
• 44:01
  the Premier League that have four goals against Spurs are
• 44:03
  Robert Perez hit 7 and Emmanuel Ida Baylor had six.
• 44:08
  So Terry Henry and Robin van Persie only had five goals
• 44:12
  against hers in our entire career.
• 44:15
  NSA. That's five and two names I mean
• 44:17
  they should have left them on for another hat trick.
• 44:20
  They take them off. I would say like leave them on.
• 44:22
  You know that like imagine the arsenal player Shannon feed him
• 44:25
  the ball to get him another hat trick against I mean XG leave
• 44:30
  Arsenal 1.93 stores .76 shots for 20 to 5.
• 44:34
  I mean the the the only goal that they got was really a
• 44:38
  giveaway by Rice. And so Rice has the ball who you
• 44:42
  know, we've sung his praises. What a great player is.
• 44:45
  I think he's the best midfielder in the world.
• 44:47
  He's a leader for Arsenal. He's been unbelievable.
• 44:50
  He's. Also still human.
• 44:51
  He's still human and he made a bad giveaway.
• 44:53
  He's trying to dribble out from his defensive third.
• 44:55
  He gets the ball taken off of him.
• 44:56
  Colin Milani puts it away. But I love this quote a little
• 44:59
  bit from him when Rice talking about the mistake he made,
• 45:01
  because when I made that mistake, a lot was running
• 45:03
  through my mind. I generally thought I'd put the
• 45:05
  team in a a position we might regret for a lifetime, and then
• 45:08
  I reminded myself that the biggest weakness a player can
• 45:11
  have isn't making a mistake letting it control you.
• 45:14
  So I stayed composed, put it behind me and focus on what I
• 45:17
  can do next. I played as if it hadn't
• 45:20
  happened and kept fighting for the war.
• 45:22
  I I. I love that quote man, because
• 45:24
  it's just like sums up exactly how you should handle a mistake.
• 45:27
  You take ownership of it and you apologize and you get on with it
• 45:30
  and you know you didn't make a mistake.
• 45:32
  The rest of the game was like a real so you know, I just I love
• 45:37
  him as a player. You know, this is a great win.
• 45:39
  This is a big win, but hopefully this is now what maybe can kick
• 45:43
  Arsenal on to get a couple wins. You know, you see Kyoka is
• 45:47
  playing with some confidence. Luca, I think he's grown into
• 45:50
  his role a little bit. You see the SA polls, hopefully
• 45:53
  that can him. So we need these guys.
• 45:56
  Look, we need some we've talked a little bit about some of the
• 45:58
  signings, you know, this summer, Matt awake Kyo Crest as a like
• 46:03
  where are the goals from these guys?
• 46:04
  Well, all right, they showed up goals from summer signings in
• 46:08
  this game. We're going to need more of that
• 46:10
  because, you know, I I still think cycle will get his goals.
• 46:13
  Trosar yeah, however 20 comes back.
• 46:16
  We need these summer guys. We're going to need Matt awake.
• 46:19
  We're going to need as a we're going to try to keep push on and
• 46:21
  try to take, you know, the title from city.
• 46:24
  Like I said, we desperately needed I.
• 46:25
  Think soccer went off and either a Tottenham, I think it was in
• 46:29
  Tottenham game. Do we know what happened to
• 46:32
  soccer yet? No, I don't know that he was
• 46:35
  hurt. I haven't heard anything about
• 46:36
  him being hurt or anything. I think when they pulled him off
• 46:39
  in this game, he was, he might have been like a little bit of,
• 46:42
  you know, that he was just sort of gassed.
• 46:43
  How much? Is ankle kind of?
• 46:46
  Gut, David. He walks off.
• 46:47
  I've not heard anything that he's going to be doing for an
• 46:49
  extended period of time. So my hope is that he was just
• 46:51
  that, you know, he'd run his race and he was.
• 46:54
  Yeah. So look at there it is.
• 46:56
  I mean, so like I said, Arsenal again, five points up.
• 46:58
  But we have to say, you know, game in hand.
• 47:00
  So with City, it's going to be super tight because.
• 47:03
  Please end up with the game in hand.
• 47:05
  I feel like every year it's just.
• 47:06
  You know, so we'll see, you know, as we get into kind of
• 47:09
  next week's game, I mean, it's just going to be a super tight
• 47:12
  race, so. Yeah, all right, there is week.
• 47:17
  27 So for you I need your player, goal and team of the
• 47:21
  week. What do you want to start off
• 47:22
  with? Oh yeah, I think I know my
• 47:29
  player of the week. I guess my my second favorite
• 47:36
  defender on Arsenal right now. I don't know.
• 47:39
  I just like in Gabby Gabrielle. All right, yeah, scored a goal
• 47:43
  against Wolves. It's a shame that could have
• 47:45
  been a game-winning goal that would be.
• 47:46
  Great team in a week I'm also going to Arsenal.
• 47:51
  It's a big Dartby win and the bounce back of and.
• 47:55
  Do any go honorable mentioned as Angio Grace for grabbing 2?
• 48:02
  3 Arsenal players. Arsenal as my team.
• 48:07
  Podcast so I. Guess maybe I'm not just doing
• 48:13
  Arsenal. Not quite sure of his
• 48:18
  positioning still I don't. Even know if he could have saved
• 48:20
  that. You know, yeah, it's weird.
• 48:23
  He lined up like he was going to like the ball was going to be
• 48:25
  crossed. He was way too far to the left
• 48:27
  for me. But yeah, anyway, it was a good
• 48:29
  free kick. So.
• 48:31
  All right, Luca. Well, let's look ahead to this
• 48:33
  next week's game. So Week 28 starts tomorrow.
• 48:36
  So we have a Friday game and then otherwise we have all our
• 48:38
  games on Saturday or Sunday. So we kick off tomorrow with
• 48:41
  Wolves toasting. Still though.
• 48:44
  I think yes, no one win 2 nil. 2 now OK Bournemouth host
• 48:49
  Sunderland. I think 1111.
• 48:55
  OK, Liverpool host West Ham. This could be an interesting
• 48:58
  game here. It could.
• 49:00
  Well, I think West Ham have been playing better.
• 49:02
  Liverpool. I just feel like I have no idea
• 49:03
  what to expect from them week to week.
• 49:05
  Both teams desperate for points, you know, Liverpool fighting for
• 49:09
  Champions League, West Ham fighting for their lives in
• 49:12
  terms of not getting relegated. I think this could be an
• 49:15
  interesting game. It's gonna be a fun one to
• 49:16
  watch. On the West Ham.
• 49:19
  West Ham at Anfield. Give me that.
• 49:21
  Always sucks. That's a big call.
• 49:23
  That is all right. What about?
• 49:24
  Currently hosting Brentford. I think Brentford get to win 21.
• 49:31
  Two OK, all right. Leeds host Man City.
• 49:38
  Give me 22. With this heart here is it?
• 49:42
  It's Arsenal. All right then tell me why.
• 49:47
  Why is that game going to end? Because I feel like a city have
• 49:51
  been very good. So who's at home?
• 49:54
  It's it Leeds, It's an elephant. That's to the point.
• 49:59
  And also I think Leeds, do you have the table?
• 50:04
  Do you what place they're in? So Leeds are in 15th place.
• 50:09
  Like 15th place team to me. I think we have talent to get a
• 50:14
  draw out of this game at home. I bet the crowd we fired up for
• 50:18
  this game. They get smoked by Arsenal, but
• 50:26
  we'll not we'll not think of that one unless you're an
• 50:29
  Arsenal fan. Well, Arsenal played really well
• 50:31
  in that game. I mean, they, they, they took it
• 50:33
  to him. Leads are typically very good,
• 50:36
  you know, they have really shown up, they have a great crap.
• 50:39
  They do tend to draw a lot of games, so we're going to have
• 50:42
  the most draws this year with 11, but then Brighton and Leeds
• 50:46
  have 10. So you know, that's why leads
• 50:48
  are sort of now and 15th is that they draw so many games and
• 50:52
  Brighton just being one to have them.
• 50:54
  Yeah, they draw too many games. That's why they're not maybe 12.
• 50:58
  We would take a draw. Certainly wouldn't leads looks
• 51:06
  like from the same like they can skip to like 36.
• 51:10
  I think they're safe, so. Right now.
• 51:12
  We're 31. That's as many as they had in
• 51:15
  the whole season four years, three years ago.
• 51:19
  So, you know, they're going to surpass that.
• 51:21
  So they just got to look at it like, you know, find a win or
• 51:23
  two, get a draw or two and and then they're safe.
• 51:26
  So, you know, they would absolutely go and take a draw on
• 51:28
  this game. As an Arsenal fan, we'd take a
• 51:30
  draw just like City fans. Arsenal, Yeah, I think it's kind
• 51:35
  of an interesting game. I feel like City will find a way
• 51:37
  to win this one. But I agree with you.
• 51:39
  It's it's going to be close and you know, Leeds, like I said,
• 51:42
  just play at home. We'll see if they're kind of up
• 51:44
  further. You know, like it'll just be
• 51:47
  kind of interesting to see the 1st 20 minutes of that game.
• 51:49
  They look like they're up for it, crowds into it.
• 51:51
  It could be it could be kind of a tough game for City that.
• 51:56
  They look like they're up for the game, for audience or you.
• 52:00
  Know the game against Wolf's Morrison.
• 52:03
  Remind me a little bit when City played the game, it's like
• 52:05
  flipped on its head at halftime. That's that's the thing that
• 52:09
  we're seeing is like, you know, there's no way City should have
• 52:12
  lost tied that game against Cotton and there's no way that
• 52:16
  Arsenal should have had that game against Wolves.
• 52:17
  So it it just it's one of those weird, you know, seasons.
• 52:21
  So, all right, what about Newcastle hosting Everton?
• 52:26
  You mean 2 on Newcastle? OK, what about man?
• 52:30
  You hosting Crystal Palace? Hi man, you went through
• 52:33
  nothing. Boys Ash Palace Geez, here's an
• 52:36
  interesting game. London Derby full on hosting
• 52:39
  scores. OK enough to keep my heart here.
• 52:44
  I'm too unfold God. That's a fair one.
• 52:48
  I mean, this game is interesting to me because like I said,
• 52:51
  Sparks, now they've got a literally start being like we
• 52:55
  are in a relegation band, which is it's like kind of crazy.
• 52:58
  They've never been relegated from the Premier League.
• 52:59
  They're one of the Big 16. You know, you're going to your
• 53:02
  London neighbor, you're going to play Fulham.
• 53:04
  Fulham have been pretty good. Fulham have to look at it like,
• 53:07
  hey man, this is an opportunity for us to play a team that is
• 53:09
  really struggling. You know, they're going to
• 53:11
  always want to win in London Derby and you know, they've got
• 53:14
  a look at like he's 7th is in our grasp here.
• 53:16
  They've got to go win games, I guess.
• 53:18
  You know, you're at home against a team that's really struggling.
• 53:21
  This is so this is a chance for me to like see what can Fulham
• 53:23
  can do. If Fulham go entire lose this
• 53:26
  game, then I feel like it's same little, you know, just up and
• 53:29
  down. They're going to finish in 10th,
• 53:31
  you know, Oh, huh. But I think this is an
• 53:33
  opportunity. Like I said, I'm curious.
• 53:34
  This is kind of watch Fulham in this game and we'll see if Spurs
• 53:38
  can kind of offer a response to getting, you know, blasted.
• 53:42
  You know, I don't either. I'm not hope.
• 53:44
  I certainly am pulling for Fulham in this game.
• 53:45
  But I just think it's going to be interesting to watch, you
• 53:48
  know, Igor Tudor, the the interim manners.
• 53:50
  I'm down with another week with the Spurs team to kind of work.
• 53:53
  He wants to play. I think I was coming back like
• 53:57
  there was 1 opening and so maybe back for them.
• 54:00
  So we're slowly getting at least a couple of guys back.
• 54:02
  I think Ramirez might still suspend me from that red card.
• 54:06
  But I think he's had like one more game.
• 54:08
  To I think it's fours four games all right, like a Brighton
• 54:12
  hosting Nottingham Forest. Zoom is 00. 00 OK all right then
• 54:19
  the big one all right, London Derby, Arsenal hosting Chelsea.
• 54:23
  This is by far to me the most interesting, the biggest game of
• 54:26
  the week of the worst team. So London Derby, we've done very
• 54:30
  well against Chelsea, but Chelsea look up unbeaten in
• 54:34
  their last five, three draws. You know, they're a little bit
• 54:38
  of a wild card team. Sometimes they look great,
• 54:41
  sometimes they look terrible. What do you like?
• 54:44
  What do you? What are your thoughts on this?
• 54:46
  132 Arsenal. Sounds like an exciting game.
• 54:51
  I hope it is what? Makes you think 32.
• 54:54
  I just think Chelsea are going to get another red card.
• 54:57
  Another red card? I don't know about that.
• 55:01
  I think it's going to be Chiseido again.
• 55:03
  Chiseido is going to get a second red card against arsenals
• 55:06
  now. You're definitely picking with
• 55:08
  just one to see. It's both, it's both.
• 55:12
  Also, Arsenal like have not lost against Chelsea in three games
• 55:17
  this season. It's been a while since we've
• 55:19
  lost period. I, I, we have really done well
• 55:23
  against Chelsea in the past like 10 games.
• 55:25
  I wish I had that stand in front of me.
• 55:26
  But it's hard to think the last time Chelsea beat us in a game
• 55:30
  or you know. It used to be awful, like like
• 55:34
  in 22232324, I'm 2224 they were pretty good.
• 55:40
  You can have Hertz were still in the team.
• 55:41
  They were just. I'm not saying that was because
• 55:43
  of that. Yeah, I mean, like I said, we've
• 55:45
  had some good results. It makes me nervous.
• 55:47
  I feel like our Chelsea do to get a result against us.
• 55:49
  You know, you know, this is an opportunity, City, you have to
• 55:52
  be looking at this like this is an opportunity to like again
• 55:56
  overtake us or tie us. If we tie and they win because I
• 56:00
  mean, they're playing Leeds again, we get Chelsea now City
• 56:03
  something go play at Stanford Bridge.
• 56:05
  So tough game coming up. They've already played them.
• 56:09
  No, almost positive. They they've got to go play
• 56:11
  them. We can look it up later.
• 56:14
  Just remember Ranger Fernandez score in like the 90th, 5th
• 56:18
  minute. OK, Maybe I'll take your word
• 56:22
  for it here. It's going to take me a second
• 56:23
  to kind of look this up. I promise you.
• 56:27
  Well, maybe they've got to go play them at yeah.
• 56:29
  Yeah, only play me twice, but maybe.
• 56:33
  Maybe so yeah, they're Chelsea play them at home so April 11th
• 56:39
  Chelsea play Man City so. Oh.
• 56:43
  Yeah, anyway. So anyway, there is.
• 56:46
  We got all our kicks in from Week 28.
• 56:49
  All right, So a couple games around Europe now as we look,
• 56:52
  we're getting here to kind of the final end of the season.
• 56:54
  So some big games Saturday you've got their classicer,
• 56:57
  which is Iron Munich versus Iron, which Dortmund, which is
• 57:02
  one verse 2. This is like Dortmund's last
• 57:04
  chance if they lose this season's over iron with the
• 57:07
  title. No, not understanding.
• 57:10
  The city. Yeah, I mean, it is.
• 57:12
  I mean, except for that, even if Dorman win, I think they're five
• 57:14
  points behind. But it it at least would make it
• 57:17
  a bit of a race. Plus it's just a big rivalry
• 57:18
  game. It's it's sort of like I said,
• 57:20
  it's like the North London Derby.
• 57:21
  It's like the Manchester Derby even like so that's 12:30 on
• 57:24
  Saturday for people who want to check in on that.
• 57:27
  You have Luca, MLS starting up last week, so people that are
• 57:31
  MLS fans, TuneIn, Like I said, those games started games on
• 57:35
  this weekend. Look at the Scottish Premier
• 57:37
  League. You've got the Old Firm, which
• 57:40
  is Rangers. Celtics, Celtics.
• 57:43
  That's one of the best, best rivalries in all of sports teams
• 57:47
  from Glasgow and Scotland. Look at I think it's that's 7:30
• 57:53
  on I think Paramount 7. 30 AM. 730 AMI wake up early, it is
• 57:58
  worth it. These two teams do not like each
• 58:01
  other. So in the Scottish Premier
• 58:03
  League, they have their own Premier League.
• 58:04
  Since 1985 there's only been two winners, Rangers, Celtic.
• 58:09
  No other team has won the Scottish Premier League in in
• 58:13
  what, 41 years? However, this year Rangers and
• 58:17
  Celtic I think are in second and third because Hearts of
• 58:21
  Midlothian first right now, which would be a massive,
• 58:24
  massive upset if they can hold on.
• 58:26
  And like I said, crack this sort of 40 year, you know, it's
• 58:30
  stranglehold at the time that they've had.
• 58:32
  So the Scottish Premier League is something to keep an eye on.
• 58:34
  Like I said, believe me, these games are as good as it gets.
• 58:37
  It is worth it to watch this one.
• 58:39
  We don't never talk about the Scottish Premier League, but
• 58:41
  Rangers, Celtic is one of the best, best rivalries.
• 58:44
  And again, it's a massive game because those two teams usually
• 58:47
  are just first and second. They're not second and third and
• 58:50
  Hearts, like I said, sitting there and first maybe would hope
• 58:52
  for a time with the standings. But like I said, that one, like
• 58:57
  I said, paramount 7:30 Sunday, their classic or 12:30 on
• 59:00
  Saturday. I think that's on ESPN plus.
• 59:02
  So we got some interesting games.
• 59:03
  I think Barcelona plays Villa Real, which I think maybe is
• 59:06
  like one verse 3 in La Liga. So we'll kind of like I said,
• 59:10
  keep our eyes tuned to some of these other leagues.
• 59:13
  You know, you know the the French league is close with
• 59:15
  lawns and PSG, that close interest kind of running away
• 59:20
  with it iron, maybe we'll run away with two.
• 59:24
  Points behind PSG though. Yeah, that La Liga is close too.
• 59:27
  So some interesting, we'll kind of keep our eye on those, you
• 59:30
  know. But all right, look, let's move
• 59:32
  over to our viewer. Mal, bad question this week
• 59:35
  comes from your grandfather Paul.
• 59:38
  Paul, he had a question about loans with and you and I are
• 59:43
  kind of used to talking about loans and soccer, but if you
• 59:46
  think about it like American sports, no such thing as a loan
• 59:49
  like loan players to other team, but it's never happens all the
• 59:52
  time. So just tell me like kind of
• 59:55
  basically what is a loan? What are teams doing with loans?
• 59:59
  What does this all mean? So take take us through a little
• 1:00:01
  bit about loans is. When you like kind of other team
• 1:00:09
  borrows another player a bit and it's not quite a transfer, there
• 1:00:15
  is a thing you can put on a player called an obligation to
• 1:00:18
  buy, which means sure, well, what you have for the season,
• 1:00:21
  you have to buy him eventually and still willing like thing is
• 1:00:26
  up and that's kind of what we're doing for with him, Kathy and
• 1:00:32
  we're going to buy him. Sometimes teams do loans because
• 1:00:37
  they spend a bunch of money in the summer or in January and
• 1:00:41
  they want to, you know, not spend too much that they get
• 1:00:44
  like a fine or something. So they ask the team, can we
• 1:00:48
  love and have a kid? He won't This player for the
• 1:00:51
  season, next season will actually buy it from you and the
• 1:00:55
  team could say yes, team could say no.
• 1:00:58
  Sometimes teams loan out players just to get the minutes, like
• 1:01:03
  Arsenal are loaning out Easton winery to these Leon, it's a
• 1:01:12
  Marseille. It's either Marseille as a
• 1:01:13
  French team, yeah, I think. I think it may be Marseille
• 1:01:15
  anyway. And just 8 minutes because they
• 1:01:19
  weren't like making the squad on the real team.
• 1:01:23
  But yeah, that's that's but it was summary on the moon, yeah.
• 1:01:29
  Yeah. So I mean, like, why?
• 1:01:30
  Like you think, why would a team loan a player, right?
• 1:01:33
  You kind of mentioned it's like, well, he's not, maybe he's a
• 1:01:36
  young player not getting minutes on our team.
• 1:01:39
  We want him to go play. You're only going to get better
• 1:01:42
  if you play. So we'll loan him out to a
• 1:01:44
  different team and hopefully he goes there and plays and gets
• 1:01:47
  minutes and it's just a loan, right?
• 1:01:49
  You're not selling the player unless you have attached the
• 1:01:51
  clause. Sometimes there's a buy option,
• 1:01:55
  sometimes there's a buy obligation and sometimes it's
• 1:01:58
  just a straight loan. So we're just going to loan it
• 1:02:00
  to like Ethan when he's an example, an Arsenal player gets
• 1:02:02
  loaned, say at the end of the year becomes staying on your
• 1:02:06
  team. We wanted to go get minutes and
• 1:02:09
  the reason why A-Team would take a player on loan is typically
• 1:02:12
  there are smaller market team. They're a smaller team and
• 1:02:14
  you're saying, oh great, Arsenal, City, Liverpool,
• 1:02:17
  Chelsea, they want to give us one of their players, you know,
• 1:02:19
  we'll take them. You know for sure we can use
• 1:02:22
  him. They're going to help our team
• 1:02:23
  here. Plus, sometimes these players,
• 1:02:27
  it gets an exposure to the team. So as an example, Mark Nodigard
• 1:02:31
  got loaned Arsenal, right, a couple years ago, came in like
• 1:02:35
  what he saw Real Madrid wanted to sell them.
• 1:02:37
  Well, Mark Nodigard's like, well, I really liked it in
• 1:02:39
  Arsenal when I got a loan there. Let's make this work.
• 1:02:42
  I want to go to Arsenal and then you can work on a transfer that
• 1:02:44
  way. So sometimes it helps you down
• 1:02:46
  the road where the players unfamiliar, maybe you try to
• 1:02:49
  take them on there. Now there's rules with loans
• 1:02:52
  though, so Premier League clubs can send 6 senior players out on
• 1:02:56
  loan at any given time and it used to be you could send as
• 1:02:59
  many as you player teams are doing just like buying 20 guys
• 1:03:03
  and then stashing them all over these teams.
• 1:03:05
  You just think, all right, well, let's just stash them, sprinkle
• 1:03:07
  them all around these teams and if a couple are good, we'll
• 1:03:09
  bring them back. Otherwise we'll just sell them
• 1:03:11
  on like in 10 years ago, Chelsea had 38 players on loan, so.
• 1:03:15
  My gosh, absolutely. I mean, so there was Chelsea
• 1:03:19
  trying to use these other teams almost like foreign teams to
• 1:03:22
  like be like, OK, you go play. There's a rules on it.
• 1:03:25
  Only three player maxed any one team.
• 1:03:29
  So you can't just like, you know, be like, hey, wink, wink.
• 1:03:31
  We'll go buy six players and then like them all on your team.
• 1:03:35
  So because the other thing is that there's owner, we've talked
• 1:03:39
  about this own multiple teams, the owners of and you Forest,
• 1:03:43
  City, Chelsea, they own other teams.
• 1:03:45
  So you can't just be like, OK, we're going to buy 20 Chelsea
• 1:03:49
  players all put them onto this Strasbourg team that we own and
• 1:03:53
  use that as like a minor league team for us.
• 1:03:55
  And then as they, you know, get good, we'll filter them on the
• 1:03:57
  Chelsea's team. So they're trying to like make
• 1:03:59
  sure they're not just sort of stockpiling guys on other teams.
• 1:04:03
  You can only sign 2 loans at one time from another top flight
• 1:04:08
  English team. So again, you know, if person
• 1:04:11
  can't just go and loan three players to Chelsea and vice
• 1:04:13
  versa, I'm going to give you 4 total loans in one season.
• 1:04:18
  Now the Championship, the league below, you have unlimited loans,
• 1:04:23
  but you can only have five players in the match day squad.
• 1:04:26
  So for the lower leagues, they've sort of loosened the
• 1:04:29
  rules a little bit on loans, but basically you can only have
• 1:04:32
  those tags in the state slide. And there's a lot of other sort
• 1:04:35
  of little rules on loans. But that's sort of the point of
• 1:04:38
  it is that it's a way to sort of because they don't really have
• 1:04:41
  like in baseball, you have, you know, a AAA team, a AA team.
• 1:04:45
  So you have players sort of working their way up.
• 1:04:47
  This is a way for you to like kind of get guys or maybe if a
• 1:04:50
  guy's coming back from injury, you might loan him out, but it's
• 1:04:53
  essentially a guy that's probably not going to play on
• 1:04:55
  your team that you have kind of on a different team that can get
• 1:04:59
  themselves back. So yeah, it's a little bit about
• 1:05:01
  like the loan process. So we appreciate the question.
• 1:05:03
  Pop on. Yeah.
• 1:05:06
  All right, let's move over to the did you know section.
• 1:05:08
  We are about to time. Finally it reached Sir.
• 1:05:12
  So we'll run through them real quickly.
• 1:05:14
  We've been beaten up on that. Mercy, can we just not do it 3.
• 1:05:23
  They're called the Lily White's lucar and baby colors.
• 1:05:30
  They have a weird badge where they have what's called a
• 1:05:32
  cockarelle on the badge. It's a young male chicken, less
• 1:05:36
  than one year old. OK, I did not know what a
• 1:05:38
  cockarelle is, but that is what that stupid bird is sitting on
• 1:05:41
  top of the soccer. Ball.
• 1:05:42
  Oh goodness. They were founded in 1882 as
• 1:05:47
  Hotspur Football Club by it was a Cricket Club that actually
• 1:05:50
  formed the name Luca. Why?
• 1:05:52
  Why are they called this name? Well, comes from Shakespeare.
• 1:05:56
  Henry the 4th of a play had a guy named Henry Hersey and he
• 1:06:01
  was nicknamed Harry Hotspur. He was like an English knight.
• 1:06:04
  He loved cock fighting. And so they like I said, that's
• 1:06:08
  how they get tied in with his ball.
• 1:06:10
  And yeah, Harry Hotspur from Shakespeare, they're now the
• 1:06:14
  title. Max First.
• 1:06:15
  They are owned by the Enoch Group.
• 1:06:17
  Joe Lewis, he's a British investment company.
• 1:06:20
  They owned about 86.6% of the company.
• 1:06:22
  Daniel Levy owned some too, although he's been sort of
• 1:06:25
  phased out of the club a little bit.
• 1:06:26
  They have won two league titles. Lucas sitting here covering his
• 1:06:30
  ears, he doesn't want to hear any of the They won a league and
• 1:06:33
  5051 and 60 and 61. They've won eight FA Cups now.
• 1:06:37
  The last one was about 35 years ago.
• 1:06:40
  They have won eight FA Cups, 4 League Cups, three UEFA Cups,
• 1:06:46
  kind of Europa Cups, one European Cup Winners Cup as
• 1:06:50
  well. Look back to their history.
• 1:06:53
  They joined the Football League in 19 O 8.
• 1:06:56
  Famously in the 6061 season they won the double, they won the FA
• 1:07:01
  Cup as well as League Championship.
• 1:07:04
  They are founding member of the Premier League and they've never
• 1:07:06
  been relegated, although this year they, you know, are in some
• 1:07:09
  trouble. They didn't finish the Premier
• 1:07:12
  League in the 2016. Seventeen seasons they've never
• 1:07:15
  won the Premier League but they didn't finish second.
• 1:07:17
  Of course their biggest rival, Arsenal, it's called the North
• 1:07:21
  London Derby which was played for the 199th time this year.
• 1:07:25
  I have mentioned Arsenal 85 wins, Spurs 61 wins and they've
• 1:07:29
  drawn 52 times. Other rivals would be Chelsea,
• 1:07:34
  West Ham, other London clubs managers.
• 1:07:38
  Arthur Rowe won the first league title in 1950, but Bill
• 1:07:41
  Nicholson is their sort of famous manager.
• 1:07:43
  From 1958 to 1974 they first said Terry Venables, Mauricio
• 1:07:48
  Pochettino managed them from 14 to 19.
• 1:07:52
  He is now the manager of the United States national team.
• 1:07:55
  And of course they just fired Thomas Frank, who they hired.
• 1:07:58
  Some club legends, Hun Ming Song, Harry Kane, Gareth Bale,
• 1:08:02
  Jermaine Defoe, Jimmy Greaves. One of the most famous players
• 1:08:06
  for them played in the 60s Danny Grant, Blanche Flower, Glenn
• 1:08:10
  Hoddle, Steve Perryman is their appearance.
• 1:08:13
  Record leader Gary Lineker played there.
• 1:08:16
  Their biggest sale, of course, Harry Kane to Byron.
• 1:08:20
  Munich, I think it was 120 or $110 million.
• 1:08:24
  And Gareth Bale, I'm sorry, Gareth Bale, I think it was 120
• 1:08:27
  million to Real Madrid in 2013. Kane, no, Byron, I think it was
• 1:08:31
  110 million. So I kind of put the moose in
• 1:08:33
  there. The biggest buy was Slanky or
• 1:08:36
  Siemens, Javi Simones. So Slanky was last summer
• 1:08:40
  Simones this summer they were about $77 million.
• 1:08:46

• 1:09:03
  If you want to go first or second just.
• 1:09:05
  So you know, I covered my ears for the entire time here to.
• 1:09:08
  Learn one thing about time number.

  Here is the entire time. Which does not work quite.
• 1:09:15
  I can still hear it. I'm.
• 1:09:16
  Sure. Nothing.
• 1:09:17
  Nothing. Kind of.
• 1:09:18
  Interesting now. Oh, I guess just for just for
• 1:09:20
  posterity's sake, I didn't, I should mention their stadium,
• 1:09:23
  Hotspur Stadium, open in 2019, 62,850.
• 1:09:27
  They used to play White Hart Lane, 1899 to 2017.
• 1:09:32
  They played at Wembley a little bit while the new stadium was
• 1:09:36
  being built. So, all right, nothing done.
• 1:09:38
  Trim me a little bit for a second.
• 1:09:41
  Which did Arsene move into the Emirates Stadium Choices for
• 1:09:45
  every single. I don't think I need a choice on

  Got it. Speaking of stadiums, what is
• 1:09:57

• 1:10:21
  Two. Yeah.
• 1:10:26
  What? Oh, shoot. 32 you want to throw
• 1:10:32
  out a gas? So we don't know Vitality
• 1:10:35
  Stadium or I would have accepted Dean Corp.

  So Vitality is a sponsor of the Health Health and Life Insurance
• 1:10:42
  Company. All right.
• 1:10:43
  Oh, man. In which you did the French
• 1:10:46

  give everybody a second to think about.
• 1:11:41
  But it is. Yes, that's correct.
• 1:11:43
  You know jersey numbers, but you've got stadiums.

• 1:12:41
  country? That is correct.

  Very good all. Right.
• 1:12:46
  I need you to get this wrong and then I have to get that right
• 1:12:48
