  Balls deep is a very sexual term.
• 0:02
  There's not that. Yes, balls deep is incredibly
• 0:04
  sexual. You know, reckless speculation,
• 0:06
  but when stuff like this happens, maybe there's something
• 0:08
  amongst teammates, maybe someone that's something with someone
• 0:11
  else's wife does remind you guys of Jude Bellingham.
• 0:15
  You know. He's a little more he's.
• 0:17
  Just the way he moves. He's a little more slippery.
• 0:21
  He's like, he's a body type the way he's.
• 0:23
  Like a wet Jude Bellingham, like a lathered up in grease Jude
• 0:27
  Bellingham. I think he's a little more
• 0:28
  elusive than Bellingham. Like Bellingham to me is a
• 0:30
  little more like a power player where this has a little bit more
• 0:32
  of that like dial and slides around a little bit.
• 0:36
  I do too, really like him. I like the Dean guy, but you
• 0:39
  know, I just found out. We thought I thought we were
• 0:41
  Scandinavian. He's Spanish.
• 0:43
  Is it really? Spanish, Are you sure?
• 0:46
  Just, well, unless fan tracks are blind, ESPN is blind to me.
• 0:49
  He's from Amsterdam. Why they say Spain on my brother
• 0:52
  nationality? I'm in his Wikipedia page.
• 0:54
  Googled that. Born in Amsterdam to Dutch
• 0:57
  family, he moved to Spain and he was a citizen so.
• 1:00
  He plays for Spain. Does he play for Spain though?
• 1:03
  He played for Spain under 21. He's.
• 1:06
  Under 21, yeah. But under 2019 he played for
• 1:10
  Holland. Yeah, interesting.
• 1:11
  So that'll be an interesting one to see where he ends up going,
• 1:13
  if that. Well, who, who, who needs a
• 1:15
  more? England Nate doesn't have that
• 1:19
  because this is the training he sent me before he got Holland
• 1:21
  and I'm not sure if I'm an idiot for not accepting it.
• 1:23
  Tell me, tell me I'm not an idiot.
• 1:25
  So he wants, he wanted Isaac and Young.
• 1:29
  I hate my bat. I literally hate it.
• 1:33
  Hello, welcome to episode 70 of Draft Offsides.
• 1:36
  I'm with Tikanenzo. My name is Keith.
• 1:38
  This is the big seven O episode. It's happening right before
• 1:41
  Christmas, so happy holidays guys.
• 1:46
  Yeah. Happy holidays.
• 1:46
  Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah.
• 1:49
  Enzo Enzo's getting the biggest president this year, sitting in
• 1:52
  first place in our in our main league, and he actually just
• 1:56
  surpassed me for second place in our secondary league too.
• 1:59
  So he's he's just having a good year.
• 2:00
  And how did I do that, Keith? Who'd I spank?
• 2:02
  I don't know. I spanked my buddy right there
• 2:04
  with 100. And 50.
• 2:07
  Yeah. Yeah, it's been a yeah.
• 2:10
  Enzo's just on the Enzo's on a win history.
• 2:12
  When? Can you suck?
• 2:13
  To send everything fantasy ends on every streak.
• 2:16
  So hey, we got you got to ride the lighting when you can.
• 2:18
  You just got to what? Are you sucking on?
• 2:20
  I have to suck on the Ricola because I'm fucking sick, but
• 2:23
  don't. I'll be coughing up all.
• 2:25
  Right. Just don't do it too loud.
• 2:28
  Suck quietly. Yeah, you don't need to slurp.
• 2:33
  So there are some interesting games this week and I will
• 2:35
  obviously get into them. So I think we just kind of let's
• 2:37
  just charge right into sons and dads.
• 2:38
  What do you guys think? Yeah.
• 2:39
  All right. Kicking it off, Tika, who do we
• 2:41
  got? We talked about Christmas,
• 2:44
  Jesus, Gabriel Jesus 34 points projected 10.772 goals, one
• 2:49
  assist, his first two goals of the year.
• 2:52
  Did not know. I thought I scored before.
• 2:54
  And with Saka out, he has the potential to have a huge impact
• 2:58
  in the upcoming weeks because looks like Saka is going to be
• 3:00
  out for a good period of time. OK, here's the question.
• 3:04
  Is he really the second coming or is he a false profit?
• 3:07
  False profit flash in the pan. That's what I was going to say.
• 3:09
  I love the pun. My thing is that both so he's
• 3:12
  obviously scored a hat trick midweek, then he scored two on
• 3:15
  the weekend. The midweek hat trick was in the
• 3:17
  League Cup. But my thought is that they're
• 3:19
  bowling against yourself Palace And so I'm not sitting here like
• 3:22
  like I kind of need to see him do it a little more.
• 3:24
  I was really annoyed though that the best the number one guy in
• 3:27
  our league, in our secondary league, he.
• 3:30
  Tried to trade that. Did he try to trade it to you?
• 3:32
  Yeah, he was in. We were trying, I was trying to
• 3:34
  give him shit for it, and then he went off.
• 3:36
  So pretty much whatever I say is just just do the opposite of
• 3:39
  whatever I say. And then that's that's that's
• 3:42
  going to be a winning formula right now because it feels like
• 3:44
  whatever Enzo, like Enzo's can't stop winning.
• 3:46
  I just can't stop taking else. I've been right about players
• 3:49
  too this season recently too. Probably want to just just find
• 3:52
  out there. But I agree with you, Enzo.
• 3:54
  I I'm thinking I'm not like counting my chickens.
• 3:57
  I wouldn't make a big move for him or anything.
• 3:58
  Obviously you pick him up, you're happy.
• 3:59
  Like that's like it's like potentially 3 points.
• 4:01
  But what do you think, Tika? I think if he starts, obviously
• 4:05
  he's not going to be scoring two goals and assists every, every
• 4:08
  game, but I do think he has potential, especially if he
• 4:10
  plays on the right side. He's going to have those key
• 4:13
  passes as well. So I do think there's some value
• 4:16
  there. I don't think it's I'm not
• 4:17
  putting it as down as much as you 2 are.
• 4:20
  You're not as down on him. Yeah, yeah, OK.
• 4:24
  We're so then I guess OK, like question on this where what
• 4:27
  would you kind of trade for him? Like what's his value to you
• 4:29
  guys? Like would you trade like a?
• 4:32
  Kilman. I don't know, like a Max Kilman.
• 4:35
  Oh yeah. So I guess, I guess like a
• 4:37
  dependable defensive starter, but Kilman's not even like it's
• 4:40
  how rostered is Kilman? Not that rostered Jesus is only
• 4:43
  going to be rostered now highly after this to be honest.
• 4:48
  So I I would trade a player that I have on my roster as a spot
• 4:51
  starter. So someone like SU B in Lucas
• 4:54
  Dinia, someone like that, that I could kind of.
• 4:56
  Lucas Dinia is pretty. He's been pretty good earlier
• 4:58
  this season. I know he's dropped off a
• 4:59
  little, but like trying to think of trying to think of like a
• 5:03
  name. Hold on.
• 5:03
  Just put it this way, I feel like there's two players ahead
• 5:06
  of him in the Arsenal team. So you pick a player that's got
• 5:09
  two players ahead of him in their team or is mediocre, you
• 5:11
  know, I mean, like you got trust out ahead of him.
• 5:13
  That new kid fear his name like he's played more games and
• 5:16
  played more miss and he has. You also have to factor in,
• 5:18
  let's say if hey, Suz does playing, he does score goals.
• 5:20
  Haverts hasn't been out for him. Haverts hasn't been playing that
• 5:23
  well. It's a.
• 5:24
  Little here's a question. I have two.
• 5:26
  I have two for you guys. Evan Nielsen on Bournemouth,
• 5:29
  he's had a few good games. When he when he doesn't score,
• 5:31
  he's like useless. Would you rather have, Would you
• 5:33
  rather really do it with his Zeus or would you stick with
• 5:35
  Evan Nielsen? You know who I'd go for, who I
• 5:38
  tried train for Welbeck. Because he's had well that
• 5:41
  answer the question I asked, and then we can talk well back
• 5:44
  after. No, because Evan Nielsen needs
• 5:46
  to win penalties to get assist. I think I'd have Jesus for the
• 5:51
  next month, month and. 1/2 he would and then just figure it
• 5:53
  out from there. Yeah.
• 5:54
  OK. What about?
• 5:55
  OK, so then Strand Larson's the same, same things probably.
• 5:58
  Yeah, he's yeah, he's goal dependent.
• 6:01
  So then, OK, so then Welbeck, you think you, you trade Welbeck
• 6:04
  for Welbeck's injured right now. So what do you think?
• 6:09
  Would you, would you rather, would you trade Welbeck now and
• 6:11
  try and get some get like some quick easy points with
• 6:14
  Abraham's? You know how he's gonna come
• 6:15
  back. And honestly, that Brian, he's
• 6:16
  older and he's older. Interesting.
• 6:19
  OK, well, good on him. Next, next one.
• 6:22
  Hola Ena tico. 26 points versus projected 7.8 one second goal of
• 6:28
  the year for him and he's averaging 8.3 points for the
• 6:30
  year. I feel like there's some value
• 6:32
  over here. He he actually has been become,
• 6:34
  along with Forest, a surprisingly good defender to
• 6:37
  play. So I like Ena.
• 6:38
  I think there's value on him as a defender, especially this year
• 6:41
  considering the first goal isn't negative points.
• 6:43
  Yeah, I agree. I also think sometimes it's hard
• 6:46
  to like it, like it's surprising, like Forest
• 6:49
  obviously like that the forwards go first, the mids, but like
• 6:51
  sometimes the defenders stick around longer than they should.
• 6:53
  Like he probably should be picked up.
• 6:55
  Yeah. So like, he's the number 17th
• 6:59
  ranked defender raw. And he was good last year too.
• 7:02
  I think you mentioned him a few weeks ago, Keith.
• 7:05
  I did, yeah. He's just, he's now he's
• 7:07
  rostered in 67% of the leaks. But yeah, I think this is great.
• 7:10
  Good for him and the force team is forces like.
• 7:13
  They're looking good, fine. They they solid defense and good
• 7:15
  attack. They're they're looking good.
• 7:17
  Esock 43 points projected 16.1 Had a hat trick, five shots on
• 7:21
  target, two key passes. He's up to 10 goals on the year
• 7:25
  and he also seems to help the midfielders for the Newcastle
• 7:30
  teams, for example. And Murphy has scored 20 plus in
• 7:32
  the last three games. Ever since Esock started
• 7:34
  scoring, looks like Gordon's numbers has gone up as well.
• 7:37
  So it's kind of a ripple effect. So we've talked about Esock has
• 7:41
  been on the Terry. It was the highest scoring
• 7:42
  player this this game. Week 43 points.
• 7:45
  Amazing game. Yeah, yeah, that that Newcastle
• 7:48
  front three started to look a little more settled right with
• 7:50
  Murphy on the right and Gordon on the left and then Esock
• 7:52
  through the middle scored a lot of goals.
• 7:54
  He's looking pretty good. Ever since we shit on Murphy, he
• 7:58
  scored 320 plus in the 30 following games.
• 8:01
  Well, we also put him on the on the.
• 8:03
  He was our waivers. Waivers last week, so yeah,
• 8:05
  yeah. And if you pick them up and
• 8:06
  start him, you got rewarded. This week and I picked him up
• 8:09
  and didn't start him and me too. I lost my matchup by like 3
• 8:12
  points. So I was pretty devastated.
• 8:14
  No, but hey, that's so is life on ESAC.
• 8:16
  I think the biggest thing we talk about with him every single
• 8:18
  time is just health. If he could stay healthy.
• 8:20
  I think Enzo like you've, you've called it a bunch.
• 8:21
  It's just he's he can be one of the best players in the league
• 8:24
  if he stays healthy. It's just a matter of if he
• 8:26
  can't do that, yeah. He could have scored a couple
• 8:28
  more this game. Puff.
• 8:29
  You want to see that one-on-one that he should have slot away.
• 8:31
  I think he's he's very F leg, great touch, can gift out the
• 8:35
  ball. Smart can score again, like you
• 8:38
  said, just stay healthy. He's like a definite star week
• 8:41
  in, week out. Ranked 10th overall and he
• 8:44
  missed two games. Yep, love that.
• 8:47
  OK. The honorable mentioned who will
• 8:49
  be on is on waivers later, so keep an eye out for that.
• 8:52
  How do you pronounce his last name?
• 8:53
  Hevnoy, Ruchen. Ruchen.
• 8:56
  Dean Heijen Ruchen, I don't know, it's a Nordic for next.
• 9:00
  So scored a goal, 29 1/2 points. So over the last four games that
• 9:04
  he started, two of the games he scored seven points and seven
• 9:07
  and a half. And then the other two where he
• 9:09
  scored a goal, he scored over 20 points.
• 9:11
  So even when he's not contributing to a goal, he's
• 9:14
  still putting up 7/7 and 1/2 points for for defender.
• 9:16
  Very respectable. I'm just going to call him the
• 9:19
  chill guy. Just call him the.
• 9:20
  Yeah, exactly. Chill guy, chill guy, chill guy.
• 9:22
  Exactly. He seems young and exciting.
• 9:24
  And I think more and more we're going to see with these set
• 9:28
  piece like set pieces becoming such a big thing that there's
• 9:30
  going to be like, it's going to be more like like one guy's the
• 9:33
  person that they're going to try and have score set pieces, you
• 9:35
  know, like this the way that Gabrielle is that guy for
• 9:38
  Arsenal. And so I think that like, maybe
• 9:41
  he's kind of that guy for, for Bournemouth, you know?
• 9:44
  He's 65. Yeah, he's huge.
• 9:47
  And he's only 19. Yeah, he's super young.
• 9:49
  Yeah. So it's it's a, it's a really
• 9:50
  good, exciting prospect. And so we'll talk a little more
• 9:53
  about him at waivers. But yeah, I think that's a great
• 9:54
  one. OK, moving on over to Duds, who
• 9:57
  we got. Our boy Nicholas Falkirk, one
• 10:01
  point, no shots on target, no key passes.
• 10:03
  He just won two eight-year olds a first start I think for the
• 10:06
  year and then after obviously that horrific crash for Antonio.
• 10:09
  So we thought there might be value here.
• 10:11
  It is his first start, but he didn't really do much, didn't
• 10:13
  capitalize on it. Yeah, first start, we already
• 10:18
  know what kind of striker he is. He's he's a target man.
• 10:21
  So if he doesn't get crossed into the box, which I don't
• 10:25
  really think this West Ham team really does, am I right?
• 10:29
  I know Bowen gets to the side, but they don't really put balls
• 10:31
  in the air. I don't think they they don't
• 10:33
  score that many headers. So I think Fulcrum might
• 10:35
  struggle a little bit unless West Ham changes the way that
• 10:38
  their former attack is, in my opinion.
• 10:41
  He's going to have to prove it to me before I ever pick him up
• 10:44
  or start it. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:45
  So yeah, same. I think I'm out on him until he
• 10:47
  does something. Exactly who else?
• 10:51
  Holland, we have to have a representation from city. 1.75
• 10:54
  points projected 15.13 he's still sitting on 13 goals for
• 10:59
  the year, averaging 14 points. Even during the losing time he
• 11:04
  had a few games where he scored 10 plus.
• 11:06
  But it's the city problem. We just, you know, think Holland
• 11:10
  is obviously the main fantasy player.
• 11:12
  When do you not star him? Never, Yeah.
• 11:16
  That's the thing. Right, that sucks.
• 11:18
  It's horrible. I'm like trying to trade for him
• 11:21
  now to be honest. Are you?
• 11:24
  Yeah, he's 6A little bitch. I mean someone just did that in
• 11:27
  our in our other league and traded Cunha and dance guard for
• 11:30
  Holland. Which when you look at the name
• 11:34
  value portion of it, you're like, that's crazy.
• 11:36
  Why would you give that up? But.
• 11:38
  But then you look at the Oh my God.
• 11:41
  Kunia's ranked 4th overall. He's averaging 15.
• 11:45
  Yeah. And I mean, how is how is CD
• 11:48
  going to get improved? Like right now we're like
• 11:51
  January's coming, maybe they'll get they'll best in players, but
• 11:54
  like that's not a given. That's not a given that that'll
• 11:56
  fix whatever is going on. It's like.
• 11:58
  Fix it the first time when they were fucking shit.
• 12:02
  No, but I mean that like it takes sometimes like a guy
• 12:05
  coming from another league. It's just like hard for players
• 12:07
  to bet into new teams. It's not necessarily that like
• 12:09
  someone's going to come in and all of a sudden be like, oh,
• 12:11
  wait, now Holland's scoring goals again.
• 12:12
  Because the thing about Holland, he's so dependent on what makes
• 12:16
  you. He's not someone that's going to
• 12:18
  do it himself. What makes you think they're
• 12:20
  going to buy from other leagues? They're going to fucking I just
• 12:22
  if they're smart, they buy from the premiership players that are
• 12:26
  proven and they go spend big bucks.
• 12:28
  Like you were talking about Anthony Robinson.
• 12:30
  If they need if they need the left back, which they don't, But
• 12:33
  you'd pick him up right now for one of the lower teams.
• 12:35
  You know what I mean? You look like a Bowen.
• 12:37
  Maybe pick him up from West Ham because they're not doing very
• 12:41
  well right now and maybe like try to make a big bid for him.
• 12:43
  100 million selling also on that right hand socks that hasn't
• 12:46
  really been working out. I think for what they need is
• 12:48
  going to be hard to find in the January window, especially from
• 12:51
  someone within the Premier League, because as much as money
• 12:54
  you can make, I think watching them drown is even as an
• 12:58
  opponent, it's so sad. Yeah, I I still think there's
• 13:01
  going to be that many Premier League clubs that are going to
• 13:03
  be willing to part with the quality of player that City
• 13:06
  needs in that position. There's like no, no club is in
• 13:08
  access to that of those types of players.
• 13:10
  Like you're really good center mids.
• 13:12
  I think the the one I'm thinking of is like Bruno Bruno Gemaraish
• 13:14
  and Newcastle would be one, but like I can't imagine Newcastle
• 13:18
  partying with him. Well, there's someone else that
• 13:20
  this podcast absolutely hates, Lucas Paqueta.
• 13:24
  He was linked with City last year was time.
• 13:26
  They're not doing anything. The values only going to drop.
• 13:29
  I mean, he's not going to fix all their problems, but.
• 13:31
  He's. Something.
• 13:33
  I think that they needed someone there's a little more defensive
• 13:36
  than Piketa, though, right? Like I think they need a little
• 13:38
  bit more like a six than they do like that like 8.
• 13:41
  But I. They definitely they need some
• 13:43
  legs in that midfield. That's what they fucking they.
• 13:46
  Also, I don't know if you guys noticed the starting lineup they
• 13:48
  had. It was one of his, like his
• 13:50
  original core starting lineup from a couple of years ago,
• 13:52
  Foreign Grill Ish, Bernardo Silva.
• 13:55
  Only he was missing. Yeah.
• 13:57
  Yeah, yeah, he's starting to look.
• 13:58
  It's just starting to. I mean, at what point do we feel
• 14:01
  bad for him? It's like the same way with Man
• 14:02
  United. Like, at what point do you start
• 14:04
  feeling bad? No, never, no, no, because you
• 14:08
  have the Real Madrid. You have the Real Madrid, Yeah,
• 14:10
  but I don't feel bad for him because I understand he came,
• 14:14
  then he went to Bayern Munich, then he went to Man C He's and
• 14:17
  he's a great manager who manages great players, but he hasn't
• 14:20
  ever had this. This has had to come sooner
• 14:23
  rather than later. So this is paying his dues, in
• 14:25
  my opinion. Yeah, I.
• 14:27
  Saw someone put something out on Instagram where it's like
• 14:30
  Maurino, Arsene Wenger, Ferguson, all the elites, they
• 14:34
  never won one game and 10 games with that squad you only win one
• 14:38
  in 10 games and. But also, we've said this
• 14:41
  before, the Premier League is a lot better than it was.
• 14:44
  Yes, fucking in those eras. Let's be honest, you can.
• 14:47
  Still, I think there's something, there's something
• 14:49
  deeply wrong and there's, there's something deeply wrong
• 14:52
  what's going on right now. And like, he's not addressing
• 14:55
  it, whatever that is. Like at some point you just need
• 14:58
  to understand like, hey, we need a, we need to change the way we
• 15:00
  play and tidy it up and play really defensively and just get
• 15:03
  our like Mojo back. And he's not not doing.
• 15:05
  That I think mentally they're done.
• 15:08
  They've they've been dominating for so long.
• 15:10
  I think Manly that now they've got to this point where they
• 15:12
  lost a view in a row. I think that I feel like not
• 15:14
  they're not done. They're going to win, they're
• 15:15
  going to win again. They're going to go on another
• 15:17
  run, but they're not going to win the league this year.
• 15:19
  You go, you sent that link or so when do you guys send that link
• 15:21
  about like what? Since November they'd be in last
• 15:24
  place on total points. That's crazy.
• 15:27
  I never. Think you would say that by this
• 15:28
  man saying. Yeah, you know, reckless
• 15:31
  speculation, but when stuff like this happens, maybe there's
• 15:33
  something amongst teammates, maybe someone that's something
• 15:36
  with someone else's wife. Why are you going to go?
• 15:38
  Why are you going to go there? It's like this ain't Chelsea,
• 15:42
  you know, whatever. Was a lot.
• 15:43
  There was a LeBron, man. Kanye West, Lebron's mom, It's
• 15:46
  happened a few times. There's it's yeah, obviously the
• 15:48
  Terry Wayne Bridge. So there's it's happened
• 15:50
  elsewhere too. It happened in hockey too.
• 15:53
  There was a really famous hockey one where this like one of the
• 15:56
  older players was like banging like the young, like superstar,
• 15:59
  18 year old superstar's mom. So yeah, it's weird.
• 16:02
  OK, moving on. Next one.
• 16:05
  From United negative half a point projected 13.56, obviously
• 16:09
  they got the shellacking 30 second negative game he's had
• 16:13
  this year and both of them was 30 losses, the first one being
• 16:16
  against Tottenham. You know what man, I'm starting
• 16:19
  to feel bad for my night fans just because I know how they
• 16:21
  feel. That's the up, down.
• 16:24
  The up downs like this blew me away.
• 16:27
  This. I'm not expecting this, no.
• 16:29
  Three nil shellacking? Nah, had no idea it's going.
• 16:33
  And the way I'm looking at Ameren, he's already looking
• 16:36
  like he's getting 10 years older.
• 16:39
  It's bad, I think. He's just start to realize how
• 16:42
  fucked this organization is. So he just has to make it
• 16:47
  through the season. That's what he's got to do, Make
• 16:48
  it through the end of the season, stay in the Premier
• 16:50
  League and rebuild, I mean. The smartest thing he did is
• 16:53
  when he became manager, he said, hey, even after, like after when
• 16:57
  it's like it's going to take a long time.
• 16:59
  We're going to suffer a lot before we get good.
• 17:00
  So he he doesn't have this high expectation where they're like
• 17:04
  going to dominate or like when they'll be right away.
• 17:05
  So he does have time. That's what he has on the side.
• 17:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're, you're totally
• 17:11
  right. And that's the really mature way
• 17:12
  to look at a Tico. But like at the end of the day,
• 17:14
  it's more just like. This minority.
• 17:16
  Yeah, it's a mess. It's way more fun to just be
• 17:17
  like, you know, it's a fucking mess.
• 17:18
  This is a disaster. It's a graveyard.
• 17:21
  And man, for our he's actually a really good fucking player.
• 17:23
  He's. A yeah, he's looked really good.
• 17:24
  I like him. I think I'm definitely like, I'm
• 17:27
  definitely like in on him overall.
• 17:28
  Yeah, I still think he has fantasy value.
• 17:31
  Yeah, the ones we just mentioned.
• 17:33
  I feel like he has and and Holland, but Holland I don't
• 17:36
  know, just because I think he's getting fucking Hornet right now
• 17:39
  by something because he can't fucking score any points.
• 17:42
  But Maz rally out all these are all of them is the one I'd start
• 17:45
  still with faith that he'll score me some points.
• 17:50
  Yeah, I'm still starting Holland until.
• 17:53
  Of course. Something what happens I also
• 17:56
  like the thing with city like just once one last thing is like
• 17:59
  you start to wonder if there's some insider knowledge on what's
• 18:02
  going on with all the charges too and maybe that's affecting
• 18:05
  players and maybe there's something going on there that's
• 18:07
  just a little that we don't know about yet or something I.
• 18:09
  Wish there was a Netflix special going on right now and then so
• 18:12
  we have to wait. Till an hour or nothing.
• 18:13
  Yeah, man, I. Fucking love that shit.
• 18:17
  All right, all right, honorable mention.
• 18:19
  What's that? Zero points versus projected
• 18:21
  12.44 second game in a row where he has no shots on target and
• 18:25
  it's the first time he had zero points on a game he started this
• 18:28
  year. So it's 22 bad games in a row.
• 18:30
  Not kind of keep an eye on it, but we saw you're gonna start
• 18:34
  them regardless. Isn't this like last season
• 18:36
  though? What's something like whistle
• 18:37
  like this last season? Just like when was, you know,
• 18:39
  like what? Where he just.
• 18:41
  Got cold, hot cold, you know. Started last year so hot.
• 18:45
  Both of them started like really well last year, but this year
• 18:48
  they hadn't really cooled off. So I yeah.
• 18:52
  I'm a little nervous that we said just because we're like
• 18:54
  Igor Tiago healthy and like there's just some, you know, I
• 18:58
  feel like that team is there's room for him to drop out of that
• 19:01
  team and it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world.
• 19:03
  It's funny. We'll just speak.
• 19:04
  We were just speaking about him like he was the man over there
• 19:07
  over in Brembo, you know what I mean?
• 19:08
  It's so crazy how much can change over a week, you know
• 19:10
  what I mean? Yeah, I don't know if he's the
• 19:12
  man. I don't know if I've ever
• 19:13
  thought he's the man over in Brembo.
• 19:14
  I was just, I don't know, I like, and Buendo's playing with
• 19:18
  Wissa back and Blumbo's playing on the right, but like at the
• 19:22
  end of the day, and Buendo has a really nice cross and, and like,
• 19:24
  it looks fine. Like I, I, I was maybe a little
• 19:28
  harsh on my quick analysis that Buendo's going to drop off
• 19:32
  because he's continued to, but like, I see the Wissa thing a
• 19:35
  little clearer. And I, and I think that they,
• 19:38
  they paid a lot of money for Igor Tiago.
• 19:39
  And so I wouldn't be shocked if he starts coming in more and
• 19:42
  more. So he started this game I think
• 19:46
  and let's see how's he do. He played 72 minutes, had 6.75
• 19:51
  with one key pass. Who?
• 19:53
  Wimbo. Igor.
• 19:55
  Igor. Well, how did Wimbo do?
• 19:56
  I think he still had double point double figures, isn't he?
• 19:58
  Yeah, he did. He was in like he was in the
• 20:00
  teens. Yeah, even even in a game where
• 20:04
  Yeah, nothing. He's just that guy.
• 20:06
  Yeah. He had 17.753 key passes shot on
• 20:11
  target. Takeaways.
• 20:13
  That's. Nice.
• 20:14
  Yeah, He's, that's the guy, Yeah.
• 20:16
  All right, that was studs and duds.
• 20:18
  Let's move into match recaps. All right, kick it off.
• 20:21
  We kind of already covered this, but City lost again.
• 20:23
  Is the answer obvious or do you still start certain City
• 20:26
  players? I think we kind of talked about
• 20:28
  this. I like Holland.
• 20:29
  I think you have to start. I mean, everyone else just
• 20:31
  doesn't seem like they're a given everyone else's rotation.
• 20:34
  Right, so given. KDBKDB's rotation.
• 20:37
  Vaudiol. Vardiol.
• 20:39
  You have to start yes. I mean, and like, there's no one
• 20:44
  else that you really have to start in that team anymore.
• 20:46
  Well, Savio, if he starts, I say, if he starts, if I say we.
• 20:49
  Start, but he hasn't been starting.
• 20:50
  That, but he hasn't been. But when he starts he gets you
• 20:52
  double digits every fucking time.
• 20:54
  Yeah, but he's for the last game one.
• 20:56
  Of those, yeah. Concerned you and I have.
• 20:58
  Watkins, he was on the bench concerning, very concerning.
• 21:00
  He was on the bench. But again, then they play
• 21:01
  midweek again. I'm not.
• 21:03
  I'm not. I'm worried about it.
• 21:04
  I think it's a good thing to have two players are competing
• 21:08
  and we always say this, it's good to have players competing
• 21:10
  for a place. Watkins should be worried though
• 21:12
  because Durant seems to be fucking producing.
• 21:15
  Like ratio wise by minutes, he's producing more goals.
• 21:19
  Watkins hasn't started the last three games.
• 21:21
  I was just going to say it's it's, it's more than just always
• 21:25
  getting arrested. It's like there's something
• 21:27
  lost, three Premier going on, Premier League games, there's
• 21:29
  total games, Premiership games, yeah.
• 21:31
  Premier Games, yeah, there's a. Lot.
• 21:32
  Happened against Southampton, he came on and he played 31
• 21:36
  minutes, against Force he came on, played 15 and against City
• 21:39
  he came on and played 9 minutes. Fuck, how do I fucking not
• 21:41
  notice that? His Midnighter bench, that's
• 21:44
  right. What what I did is I don't know
• 21:45
  if you guys saw Nate in the second secondary league.
• 21:49
  He had sent me a trade for Duran like a couple of a few days ago,
• 21:52
  but I never declined it. So when I saw Watkins was on the
• 21:55
  bench again, what I did is I went in and I accepted the
• 21:59
  trade. Dude, really, I think he he
• 22:01
  sends so many, he sends so many trades and he doesn't even
• 22:04
  realize. I know, I kind of, I was trying
• 22:06
  to look to see if there's some way to like have trades like
• 22:09
  expire after a week or something just to like kind of help that
• 22:12
  problem. But.
• 22:13
  No, you gotta you gotta be a grown ass adult and deal with.
• 22:16
  It yeah, like take notes on all the trades, you said so you.
• 22:18
  So what did what was the trade Tico?
• 22:20
  Did you accept it? I did accept it, but let me go
• 22:23
  back and see who I gave up. I don't think I gave up.
• 22:25
  Anyone of super value team did. I just say that Rogers was
• 22:27
  bowling out this game. Yes, I want to talk about
• 22:30
  Rogers. 227.5 points. He's just so slippery on the
• 22:33
  ball. He's such a good dribbler of the
• 22:34
  ball if you give him space. Harry's.
• 22:36
  I feel Harry. Seems like it seems like he's
• 22:39
  the guy that you need to shut down to shut down Aceville right
• 22:42
  now. And he can really pull off that
• 22:44
  blonde hair. I gave up Sally March.
• 22:47
  Oh. My God.
• 22:49
  Hasn't played a Premier League game no over year.
• 22:52
  Yeah, no. That's absolutely an insane
• 22:55
  trick. I'm telling you, Nate and Nate
• 22:57
  Watkins too. I but I can't even I can't even
• 23:00
  doubt anything that's. Actually the smartest thing.
• 23:01
  I can't doubt anything Nate's doing because he's top by a lot
• 23:06
  and it seems to be fucking working out and he's a top
• 23:08
  scorer, isn't he? Yeah, but it's easy.
• 23:10
  I mean, hey, you can, you can keep juggling, but one day
• 23:13
  you're gonna drop a ball or two, you know?
• 23:14
  Let's see. Let's see what happens.
• 23:16
  I'm thinking the Cunha one that has dropped the ball, but if
• 23:18
  Harlan goes on a fucking streak again then we'll be fucking
• 23:21
  yeah. We'll never know.
• 23:22
  We'll never fucking know this. Good on Villa for just beating
• 23:26
  City. Yeah, this is still never easy
• 23:28
  to beat City. You know they're on this losing
• 23:30
  streaks. Does Rogers remind you guys of
• 23:32
  Jude Bellingham? No.
• 23:34
  The way he's a little more. He's just the way he moves.
• 23:37
  He's a little more slippery. He's like.
• 23:40
  He's a body type, the way he moves very.
• 23:42
  Well, he's like a wet Jude Bellingham.
• 23:44
  Like I lathered up in Grease do Bellingham.
• 23:46
  I think he's a little more elusive than Bellingham.
• 23:48
  Like Bellingham to me is a little more like a power player
• 23:50
  where Rogers has a little bit more of that, like guile and
• 23:52
  slides around a little bit. I like Rogers.
• 23:55
  I do too. Really like him.
• 23:56
  OK, next game, Ipswitch 0, Newcastle 4.
• 23:59
  We talked about ESAC with 43 points.
• 24:02
  Yeah, Enzo's been his biggest fan.
• 24:04
  I think we all agree that he's he's the guy as long as he's
• 24:08
  healthy. Murphy with 26 points on fire.
• 24:10
  Was it two goals and that little like back heel pass was pretty.
• 24:13
  Dude just pretty cute. Stop.
• 24:15
  Hit man, Stop it. Ipswich is just looking like no
• 24:19
  matter what they do, they're going down.
• 24:21
  Yeah, and. They just don't have enough.
• 24:22
  I think it's all three. All three teams are going down,
• 24:24
  Lester. You think you think wolves to
• 24:27
  get out of there? I mean, we'll talk about that in
• 24:28
  a minute. Yeah, I think they get out
• 24:29
  there, but I think it's which is going down.
• 24:31
  They did wrong. Out of the three teams, I think
• 24:33
  they look the best got the three teams that the one that the only
• 24:38
  one that still has the measure, the original measure.
• 24:40
  So oh wait, yeah, the only one that has the original measure.
• 24:45
  Yep, and also the way Murphy's been playing lately.
• 24:47
  Looks like you won that trade. Mm hmm.
• 24:51
  Yeah, Gordon had another solid game.
• 24:52
  I think we kind of talked about it.
• 24:54
  I think that that front 3 is looking like it's fairly
• 24:56
  established and like Harvey Barnes is there, Almiron are
• 24:59
  there, but they're they're more looking like they're impacts up
• 25:01
  and they're not really, you know, I think they they might go
• 25:03
  the odd start, especially during this Christmas break or this
• 25:06
  holiday period. But I think for the most part
• 25:08
  that that front 3 is looking locked in.
• 25:10
  Solid. OK, next game, Palace won
• 25:13
  Arsenal 5. This was a bit of a slacking.
• 25:15
  We talked about Jesus's 30, Jesus's 34 points.
• 25:18
  The scary thing is the soccer injury.
• 25:19
  Yep, I just read today. It could be.
• 25:21
  It's going to be several. Several weeks.
• 25:23
  Yeah, I read that today. So they can't replace soccer,
• 25:26
  they can't replace his tennis, they can't replace his five
• 25:28
  goals, all the the amount of like things that he can create.
• 25:32
  But they do have other players that can play there if hey, Zeus
• 25:35
  would just bugle back. He might be able to help him
• 25:37
  out, but I think it's more likely going to be trust hard in
• 25:39
  my opinion. I'll tell you what, I am going
• 25:43
  to try and trade Odegard. I'm going to try and trade
• 25:45
  Odegard. Really.
• 25:47
  Yeah. I think this, I think this has a
• 25:49
  knock on effect for the whole team.
• 25:51
  I think they've already been, I mean, obviously they scored five
• 25:54
  in this game, but I think they've been struggling a little
• 25:56
  bit to score goals. Odegard has not been great.
• 25:58
  This might be a time where I try and target an Arsenal fan and
• 26:01
  try and make a trade. Odegard has not been great.
• 26:05
  I thought Odegard's been playing well.
• 26:07
  He's been playing well but hasn't reflected super well in
• 26:09
  the fantasy in my opinion. Just not not the not where he
• 26:12
  was getting dropped in. No, yeah.
• 26:14
  So yeah, you're right. He's been single digits the last
• 26:17
  three games. Yeah, and I mean, I think
• 26:19
  everyone in the, I think everyone in the attack, I think
• 26:20
  soccer just does so much for them.
• 26:22
  The way he drives to the line, the way he scores, he just
• 26:25
  creates a lot. So I think it's a really big
• 26:27
  goal for Arsenal. I think this this is like if
• 26:29
  they had any shot at trying to the title.
• 26:31
  I think it's if he's out for a month, two months, I think that
• 26:35
  could be it. Yeah, you know, so we'll see.
• 26:39
  Someone else Now they might have to be buyers in the January
• 26:41
  window. I mean, they're not.
• 26:44
  I mean, they're not like historically everybody spend
• 26:47
  that much in January. I don't know how much budget
• 26:50
  they have. I don't know how much they can
• 26:51
  afford because their biggest issue is they never sell
• 26:53
  players. Yep.
• 26:55
  So they're they're like PSR is really they're they're
• 26:58
  struggling to make PSR. Yeah, Rice 22.75 points off the
• 27:03
  bench. Yep.
• 27:04
  So a little bit unlucky there. Martinelli got a goal 22 points.
• 27:08
  Martinelli is not loved on this podcast.
• 27:11
  No, not fans. He's.
• 27:13
  No. So that's wrong with Yeah.
• 27:16
  Runs with his head down on this, doesn't look up.
• 27:18
  No, not good. I saw a really funny meme.
• 27:21
  It was like this bartender and he was like making drinks and he
• 27:23
  was like moving his head super fast.
• 27:25
  And people are like, that's really just what Martinelli
• 27:26
  does. He just, he like acts like he's
• 27:28
  moving fast, but really just moving his head really fast.
• 27:30
  Has anyone gotten, you know, in the Martinelli?
• 27:35
  I feel like he had one woman that went viral a couple of
• 27:37
  years ago and he just kind of took off from there.
• 27:39
  That guy sucks. Sergei is a big fan of him.
• 27:43
  Of course he is actually. Yeah, yes.
• 27:44
  Yeah, he loves that. As they should play him over
• 27:46
  Vinnie. Yeah, I mean, Palace a little
• 27:52
  bit of a bad result that second time they played them.
• 27:53
  I actually thought Palace played better than the score line.
• 27:55
  I think they're a bit unlucky. I'd I'd be curious to see what
• 27:58
  the XG was in this game. I bet you that the XG is not as
• 28:01
  flattering for Arsenal as the actual goals ended up being in
• 28:04
  this. Yeah, you know, moving on next
• 28:07
  game. Brentford 0 Force 2.
• 28:11
  This is what one of the first losses for Brentford at home.
• 28:14
  Yeah, rare, rare loss for them. Are we forced to remain a force
• 28:17
  and in the top 4, which is the biggest surprise of the season
• 28:20
  so far. I mean them and are you being
• 28:22
  more yeah and like it's forest is forest top four more
• 28:27
  surprising than city absolutely dropping off.
• 28:30
  I think they're, I think they're maybe comparable.
• 28:31
  Yeah, they're comparable. Surprise.
• 28:34
  If you told me I read those things at the end of the season,
• 28:36
  I'll let No, that's not gonna fucking happen.
• 28:37
  Yeah, Yeah. I wonder which if you had a vote
• 28:42
  on that would have been an interesting thing, Like what is
• 28:43
  more likely to happen between those two?
• 28:45
  I wonder what? We should put that as a poll.
• 28:48
  What's more surprising? City being outside of the top,
• 28:51
  not in the top 4, outside of the top two or four as being in the
• 28:54
  top 4. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:56
  That is a good poll. That is a good thing.
• 28:57
  Maybe we can put that to our fans, see what happens.
• 29:01
  You know, a variety of players are doing it for them.
• 29:03
  We talked about Olena 26 points. Anthony and Langa scored two
• 29:06
  goals in the last two games. Wood continues to still be in
• 29:10
  and around it, even if he's not scoring.
• 29:11
  Yep, Hudson Adoy. Hudson Adoy.
• 29:14
  MGW. Yeah, Anderson.
• 29:17
  Anderson, Yeah. Really good deliveries, really
• 29:19
  good custom in the box. They're just like they're doing
• 29:21
  it like the the sum is greater than the parts, you know, like
• 29:25
  they're they're just one of those teams.
• 29:26
  And this is it shouldn't be that surprising with Nuno because you
• 29:29
  saw him do this exact same thing with Wolves.
• 29:30
  Yeah, yeah. So it's a very similar to that.
• 29:34
  So good for them exciting. Redford a little flat, but I
• 29:37
  mean we talked about in boemo, we still still manage generate a
• 29:40
  lot of points with so concerning.
• 29:42
  I think the other side of that attack you just leave, like
• 29:45
  whether it's Shotter or Louis Potter, I think you just kind of
• 29:48
  like that's just to be a dead zone as far as I don't think
• 29:50
  there's a lot of value there. Did you see that thing with
• 29:53
  Forest, though, that they got nine wins right now, right?
• 29:55
  That's how many wins they ended with the last two seasons.
• 29:58
  Yeah. Fucking nuts.
• 30:01
  And we're, we're not even that. We're not even close to halfway
• 30:03
  through. They might have a nine industry
• 30:05
  too. They've been going that far with
• 30:08
  no, they drop off that much me, all right.
• 30:12
  OK, moving on. Spurs 3, Liverpool 6.
• 30:15
  This was the high scoring game of the season.
• 30:17
  Fun fact. So fun fact.
• 30:19
  Sianza, I didn't put any of these players on the studs or
• 30:21
  that. You're welcome.
• 30:22
  I didn't. I didn't want to shit on you.
• 30:25
  I figure I'll shit on you over here.
• 30:27
  Gunhouse Spurs, they just got torn apart by Liverpool.
• 30:29
  It seemed like they had some really good moments, but
• 30:32
  Liverpool, they just left themselves to expose salad Diaz
• 30:35
  sold slow the slide. All players that Chico have is
• 30:38
  one team combined for over 100 points.
• 30:41
  We shit on him last week, then we send you have two or the last
• 30:44
  couple we said you got 2. We told them to trade 1, trade
• 30:46
  one. Of them you got too many
• 30:47
  Liverpool players and they fucking knock out 100.
• 30:50
  Those three players asked for Enzo's team, who's in first
• 30:53
  place credibly. Still in first place.
• 30:56
  Salad was the first player to have a double.
• 30:58
  Double like so 10 assists. Ten goals in the Premier League
• 31:01
  before Xmas, before Christmas. Before Christmas.
• 31:04
  He has 10 assists, 15 goals. Well, so he also he's now the
• 31:07
  top scorer. He passed Holland for top scorer
• 31:09
  in the league as well. This.
• 31:11
  Is unstoppable. And how do you not pay the man?
• 31:15
  Pay the pay. The fucking man, pay him.
• 31:17
  As Carrig would say, pay the fucking man.
• 31:20
  It's Liverpool. Just did the best team in Europe
• 31:22
  right now in my opinion. You watch him in Champions
• 31:25
  League, League, the Champions League.
• 31:27
  Even against Real Madrid, I think I'd bet Liverpool, yeah.
• 31:30
  They look too good and they've got depth and they've got
• 31:32
  variety that they can play with. And what they're only two
• 31:36
  injuries is what Purge Jones and Kanate.
• 31:39
  Jones is fine. I'm not sure.
• 31:42
  I think Conata is one of the bigger ones.
• 31:44
  Conata. And one, I think they've only
• 31:45
  got 2 injuries but they seem fine.
• 31:47
  You haven't even noticed. Well, I think that's been
• 31:50
  Liverpool's biggest problem through the whole Clop era, was
• 31:52
  the lack of depth. Yeah, that was always the
• 31:54
  biggest issue with that. And it feels like they're
• 31:56
  finally solving that. And like, I think it's a
• 31:58
  combination of some of their youth players coming good, like
• 32:01
  Harvey Elliott's decent. Obviously Chris Jones is having
• 32:04
  like a great season. Bradley Grabenbach is coming in
• 32:08
  and playing the way that he. Was supposed to Connor Bradley.
• 32:11
  Connor Bradley. Is out exactly.
• 32:12
  Connor Bradley, yeah. He's Bradley's out.
• 32:14
  You're right. He's a.
• 32:15
  Chair, who was the defensive midfielder they got last year?
• 32:17
  Ito endo endo he. Hasn't been playing.
• 32:20
  I mean, no need for him. Yeah, no need for him.
• 32:22
  I mean, I read somewhere that he might go in January, actually.
• 32:25
  Yeah, I mean, the way Grabenberg's just playing, he's
• 32:27
  amazing. So Beside has been amazing this
• 32:29
  year. What about Endo the city?
• 32:31
  I. Don't know?
• 32:33
  All right, You heard it here first.
• 32:35
  You heard it. First Liverpool just amazing and
• 32:37
  you put that highline and and that speed and that speed, they
• 32:41
  just that's right. Go.
• 32:43
  Ahead you go. I was going to say Liverpool
• 32:45
  probably thought, hey, let's Salah's getting older, he's
• 32:47
  probably not going to have a good year, let it play out,
• 32:50
  we'll give him a crapyr contract.
• 32:51
  But the way he's playing now, it's they kind of shot
• 32:53
  themselves in the foot with this.
• 32:55
  Maybe can I just say one thing though?
• 32:58
  Tell him doesn't have both the centre halves or their
• 33:00
  goalkeeper. That's going to be my excuse.
• 33:01
  It's no excused against, you know, putting 6 at home, don't
• 33:06
  get me wrong, but still with that highline, it fucking sucks.
• 33:09
  I mean, they need the who's the senator back that Mickey
• 33:12
  Vandevins? They need him for the Highline.
• 33:14
  But I think that guy's always going to be heard because he's
• 33:16
  just too fast. He's just one of those players
• 33:18
  where he's too. Built.
• 33:19
  He's like one of those guys, just like his, like the physical
• 33:22
  world is not capable of like sustaining his speed and power.
• 33:27
  What about? Fucking you saying like the laws
• 33:29
  of no but like Hussein built like not as built as he is.
• 33:32
  Look at the laws of like physics.
• 33:34
  Some people just yeah, some. People are just not meant
• 33:36
  they're too fast for their own bodies.
• 33:38
  I think Spurs had some really good moments in this game though
• 33:40
  and I want to shout out Jed to Jed Spence as again, he played
• 33:44
  really well to the point where I think that he might be really
• 33:47
  challenging you doggy. Doggy was on the bench and
• 33:49
  Spence still got the starting spot.
• 33:51
  I wouldn't be shocked to hanging out, especially with some rumors
• 33:55
  about maybe Pedro Poor leaving in January going to Real Madrid
• 33:59
  or something. Fucker yeah, and honestly
• 34:01
  something there I wouldn't mind it either because him and
• 34:03
  Brendan Johnson played in that non and Forest team together,
• 34:06
  you know, I mean the one that got promoted, so there should be
• 34:09
  some chemistry there still so. Yeah, yeah, but the Spirits is
• 34:12
  not a disaster by any means. There's a lot of good scoring
• 34:14
  players. It's just frustrating how
• 34:16
  consistent they are. Yeah, this as this as and said,
• 34:18
  are you not entertained, are you not?
• 34:20
  Madison had a good game Clues I've see it who's been amazing.
• 34:23
  He's the man here, he's the man. That he's the man.
• 34:25
  Son was in our show. Yeah, fantasy wise only half a
• 34:28
  point could have easily made the Douglas after like strong two
• 34:31
  goals games in a row. But yes, I think Liverpool just
• 34:35
  too much. Yeah, fully.
• 34:37
  OK, next game United 0, Bournemouth 3.
• 34:39
  This is we talked about this earlier.
• 34:40
  This was shocking. Chill guy.
• 34:42
  Our Our man scores again, Husian.
• 34:44
  Is he whatever you'll pick up? We'll see.
• 34:46
  Yeah, he's on waivers. He's the first name on waivers.
• 34:49
  But Bournemouth looks good. Simenyo, another goal.
• 34:52
  I think Clivern had a goal from another penalty.
• 34:55
  Bournemouth is the penalty team. Yeah, but Cliven won his own
• 34:58
  penalty. This.
• 34:58
  Time. Yeah, he won his own.
• 35:00
  He didn't need Evan Nelson. So yeah, Bournemouth's another
• 35:03
  surprising team. I mean, I think we were pretty,
• 35:06
  we thought Bournemouth's were pretty good last year.
• 35:07
  I. Thought boom was going down this
• 35:09
  year. I'm not.
• 35:10
  That surprised. I know you said that.
• 35:11
  That was crazy. Hey bro, remember?
• 35:12
  I remember. Thinking that was crazy.
• 35:13
  How can you think that's crazy when they lose Solanke and then
• 35:16
  the guy they they didn't buy anyone who did buy to replace?
• 35:19
  Him. They bought Evan Ilsen, Yeah,
• 35:20
  for 40 million. Who?
• 35:22
  Who's who? You never know with someone
• 35:24
  coming from another another league.
• 35:25
  You never know, you're right, but I think I thought there's
• 35:27
  enough quality there and. Deal so route keeper.
• 35:31
  Hey, actually. He almost made waivers.
• 35:34
  He's been playing pretty good recently.
• 35:35
  If you look at his numbers, his last few games were pretty
• 35:37
  solid. And yeah, and someone please buy
• 35:39
  him from Chelsea. Yeah, United.
• 35:43
  This was kind of jarring. Someone dropped the United
• 35:46
  Keepers and playing on the same right now and I thought I was so
• 35:50
  smart picking him up. He's been terrible.
• 35:51
  That was me. I dropped him and you picked him
• 35:53
  up right after me. Yeah, I thought I was.
• 35:55
  I thought that was like, I was like, what a fool.
• 35:57
  And now it turns out I'm the fool.
• 35:58
  I put his name for him as well. Keeper.
• 36:00
  You got him out of he. Did he use fat?
• 36:02
  Brutal. No, this wasn't.
• 36:04
  Absolutely, yeah, that's it's been brutal, it's been very
• 36:06
  brutal. But yeah, Bournemouth keeps on
• 36:08
  shucking United. I think better it is ahead.
• 36:11
  I think they kind of got figured out.
• 36:13
  We'll see what happens there. It's weird.
• 36:14
  It's it's clear United's starting to feel like talking a
• 36:16
  little bit. We just never know what.
• 36:17
  You're going to never know what you're going to.
• 36:18
  Get man, it's also getting tricky because their rotation
• 36:21
  has been pretty crazy, so you have to check their lineup.
• 36:22
  Besides Bruno and Ahmad, everyone else is kind of on a
• 36:26
  rotation. So Yep, even the strikers, the
• 36:29
  defenders, you don't know who's going to play and who's now,
• 36:31
  which is kind of frustrating. Rallies are pretty solid.
• 36:34
  Rally concerned, Yeah. So long.
• 36:36
  The non is starting every game. It is getting new terrible
• 36:39
  points Next game. Lester 0, Wolves 3.
• 36:41
  The new coach for Wolves man. What's his name?
• 36:44
  Paulo for collar. Yeah.
• 36:47
  He's been a very it was, it was a good game because they looked,
• 36:51
  they looked good, they looked dominant.
• 36:52
  But they bought, they looked good in all these games, they
• 36:55
  just weren't able to keep a clean sheet, I think.
• 36:57
  Is this one of the few clean sheets they've had?
• 36:59
  I think. Yeah, Vitor Pereira, who's a
• 37:02
  little bit of a journeyman, but I think there was a little bit
• 37:05
  of a tactical shift and it's like, I think it looked a little
• 37:08
  better and they. And so we'll see.
• 37:11
  I mean, we'll see. It's also Leicester.
• 37:13
  It's not like. Yeah, I was going to say the
• 37:14
  same thing right there. It's Leicester who's starting to
• 37:17
  look poorer and poorer. I think Van Nusroy thought he
• 37:19
  could. I don't think I don't think he
• 37:22
  was the first choice, if I can be honest.
• 37:24
  But these are the matches. If you're a Wolves, you have to
• 37:26
  win and they did it and it was kind of Shields character as
• 37:29
  well. The manager changes.
• 37:30
  All of a sudden they come, they come out and they have a
• 37:32
  statement one. So United next, which will be
• 37:36
  interesting for Wolves because they both play in that that very
• 37:39
  similar formation in that 3343. Yep.
• 37:42
  Or what, 352, however you have, you won it if you want to call
• 37:46
  it. So that'll be a very interesting
• 37:47
  kind of fun game. I think for Wolves, Lester, we
• 37:51
  were kind of asking the question if there's any going to be any
• 37:53
  value of the Val Nostra going to Leicester.
• 37:55
  I think we've kind of got the answer this week.
• 37:56
  There's just not much there. Yeah.
• 37:58
  And to. Yeah, tougher than it is.
• 38:01
  OK, that kind of wraps it up. We're going to skip over the
• 38:02
  other games. There wasn't much there.
• 38:03
  Chelsea, Everton, 00, a few other games, not with much snow,
• 38:09
  short weeks to come. So we obviously Boxing Day is
• 38:11
  going to be a week in its own, a game week in its own and then we
• 38:14
  just hop then, well, that's on Thursday, right?
• 38:17
  Yeah, 12/26 to 12/27 and then you go 1229 to New Year's Day
• 38:23
  and then you go January 4th to January 6th.
• 38:27
  Yeah, that's it's a very congested schedule you're.
• 38:30
  Going to have to have a couple players that you're going to be
• 38:32
  willing to sacrifice for starts or you just suck it up and
• 38:36
  hopefully you're the person that you're playing against.
• 38:38
  Doesn't score as many points, which is what I'm going to do.
• 38:41
  I think the thing to think about too is if you have a player
• 38:43
  that's on your bench that's injured and you're not going to
• 38:46
  be able to use and you like this would be the time where maybe if
• 38:50
  it's time to just let let some of those guys go, let it go,
• 38:53
  you're going to need. Let it go.
• 38:54
  There's going to be rotation in these, you know, there's going
• 38:56
  to be some guys that just aren't going to start and you're going
• 38:59
  to need to just throw someone in on your bench.
• 39:01
  So what I would say is because obviously forwards in midfields,
• 39:04
  I feel like they they're going to be rotating more, but.
• 39:05
  Defenders won't seem, Yeah. So less it's going to be more
• 39:09
  valuing defenders, especially center back.
• 39:10
  So if the Thunder backs, they're probably gonna play two or three
• 39:13
  of those games because we know how defenders are as a unit.
• 39:15
  So I feel like get some defenders and have a defense
• 39:18
  heavy lineups for the coming next three match.
• 39:21
  I've got 6. Defenders.
• 39:23
  Interesting strategy. I like it.
• 39:24
  I like it. OK, moving on to Wavers.
• 39:27
  First one, our chill guy. Chill guy. 20% owned defender
• 39:34
  for Bournemouth, a two goal and we kind of covered it two goals
• 39:36
  in his last four games and those are pretty much his first four
• 39:39
  starts. He started one game like Week 5
• 39:41
  or something. But you know, I think now he's
• 39:43
  kind of established himself as one of the guys.
• 39:47
  That's a good question. I don't know off the top of my
• 39:49
  head, but but yeah, but he's playing center back.
• 39:53
  But yeah, so why? He had a game of seven points, 7
• 39:56
  1/2 points in two games of 20. So I think he's pretty exciting.
• 40:00
  And what we talked about, like, I think now with these these
• 40:03
  coaches coming in, there's going to be more and more of that.
• 40:05
  Like the idea of like drawing up a play for a certain player.
• 40:08
  And he seems to be the guy that they're drawing up plays for
• 40:10
  that X Factor because he's huge. What Tico said.
• 40:12
  He said he's 65. 6. Five.
• 40:14
  He's a beast. I think he's the number one
• 40:16
  defender. Next name on waivers is Goncarlo
• 40:19
  Guedes from Wolves. With the new coach, you know,
• 40:22
  there's a little bit of a new tweak to the system.
• 40:24
  Now they're kind of the two ends underneath, the 9 are playing
• 40:27
  kind of tucked underneath. And I think Guarez can really be
• 40:30
  the benefactor from this new coach.
• 40:33
  And I think it's just that's worth a flyer.
• 40:34
  That could be a big, big win if Wolves start to kind of correct
• 40:38
  because we all know that they're capable of it.
• 40:41
  Next name is Anthony Olinga, kind of a fan favorite and he
• 40:44
  scored two goals in his last two games.
• 40:47
  And Forest is just the team that won't go away.
• 40:49
  And I think if Olinga can lock that in that position, that team
• 40:52
  just seems to be clicking. And I think the biggest thing
• 40:54
  this is probably maybe a bit of a spot start.
• 40:56
  But they play Tottenham next week and Tottenham concedes
• 40:59
  goals and Tottenham likes to play a highline.
• 41:01
  And Alanga I think is his most dangerous when he can run in
• 41:04
  behind teams. So I think that to me is like a
• 41:07
  really right for some good fantasy potential there.
• 41:10
  Next on the list, goalkeeper Martin Dubrovka from Newcastle.
• 41:13
  Nick Pope is injured and out for a while.
• 41:16
  This could be a sneaky pick up. His last two games he scored 10
• 41:19
  in each. I think the only concern is his
• 41:21
  next three matches aren't the most favorable.
• 41:23
  But I think Pope's gonna be out for longer than that, so I think
• 41:26
  this is one to keep an eye on. He comes back in January, so
• 41:29
  next three matches are gonna be in Villa United and that was the
• 41:32
  other one. It's not bad.
• 41:35
  Yeah, and Totman, so. It's not bad at.
• 41:38
  All he's gonna have a lot of opportunities for saves, so a
• 41:40
  lot of shots, not a lot of goals.
• 41:42
  So except the game. I I might, if he's available, I
• 41:46
  might drop, I might drop an honor for him.
• 41:48
  So I have Pope. I picked him up, he did.
• 41:51
  And Pops was the top two, top three goalkeeper.
• 41:54
  So I was tough one. Yeah, yeah.
• 41:59
  Yeah, so he's a good one. And the last name on here is a
• 42:02
  very like risky play. And I just I was struggling to
• 42:05
  find a midfielder that I really felt good about.
• 42:06
  And I don't really feel good about this.
• 42:08
  But it's Curtis Jones owned 40% Liverpool.
• 42:10
  He's so boom or bust. And so I don't love it, you
• 42:13
  know, but I think with the festive fixtures and you know,
• 42:17
  like the way Liverpool's really been able to rotate players, I
• 42:20
  think he's definitely going to play in the next three games.
• 42:23
  And I think there's value there. And like the the teams they're
• 42:26
  playing are Leicester, West Ham and Man United.
• 42:28
  So I think that there's going to be points to be how there and
• 42:31
  and I think there's if he starts games, I think he could have
• 42:34
  value, you know, but don't love it.
• 42:37
  High risk Harry award player. I like the Dean guy, but you
• 42:40
  know, I just found out if we thought I thought we were
• 42:42
  Scandinavian. He's Spanish.
• 42:44
  Is he really? Spanish.
• 42:46
  Are you sure I? Just, well, unless fan tracks is
• 42:48
  lying, ESP is lying to me. He's from Amsterdam.
• 42:51
  Why did they say Spain on my brother nationality?
• 42:54
  I mean, there's a Wikipedia page.
• 42:56
  Googled it. Yeah.
• 42:57
  Born in Amsterdam to Dutch family, he moved to Spain and he
• 43:01
  was a citizen. So he plays for Spain.
• 43:03
  Does he play for Spain though? He played for Spain under 21.
• 43:06
  He's. He's under 21, yeah.
• 43:09
  But of 2019 he played for Holland.
• 43:11
  Yeah, interesting. So that'll be an interesting one
• 43:13
  to see where he ends up going, if that.
• 43:15
  Well, who? Who, who needs it more?
• 43:17
  England. All right.
• 43:21
  Well, that, that pretty much wraps it up.
• 43:22
  Are we going to do our bets? I already have mine lined up.
• 43:24
  What do we? I want to talk about a couple of
• 43:27
  trade offers I have. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 43:28
  Let's see this. You were talking about this.
• 43:29
  I want to hear this. Let me pull it up so I have two
• 43:32
  of them. One of them is the serious one.
• 43:33
  The other one, I said later. I was like, what the Hell's
• 43:35
  going on from Derek? He's treating.
• 43:38
  For this is the serious one of the joke, no?
• 43:39
  No, not that it's from Derek. How can it be serious?
• 43:42
  Yeah, I think I sent him an offer for Holland and he
• 43:47
  countered this. So he's asking for Luis Diaz and
• 43:49
  Estopian. He's giving up Moises Caseido
• 43:52
  and Marcus Rashford. Yeah, he's just selling.
• 43:55
  He's that's that's a middle finger trade.
• 43:57
  Yeah, right. So the from his from his buddy
• 44:01
  to me recently, his buddy, you know who I'm talking about, so
• 44:04
  he must. Starts with AK, starts with an
• 44:06
  E. Exactly.
• 44:07
  And look, I'll give him credit because I mean, I know he
• 44:09
  listens to the podcast because I had mentioned the end of the
• 44:11
  last podcast client Abbotts might be up for the on the
• 44:13
  trading plot. He sent me Wamba, Saka and
• 44:16
  Piqueta for Kai habits. I don't know.
• 44:18
  I don't think that's not. Good, right?
• 44:21
  Yeah, not the best. I probably wouldn't take it.
• 44:23
  So this is a serious one that I wanted to kind of talk it out
• 44:26
  and see what you guys think about it as I've already sent to
• 44:30
  a party. Is that and your buddy?
• 44:32
  Chris. That's Chris.
• 44:34
  All right. Send me a trade offer for SA for
• 44:36
  Luis Diaz. I think it's been a little
• 44:40
  underwhelming this season. And Luis Diaz hasn't start every
• 44:42
  single game. And Luis Diaz has been either 30
• 44:46
  points or three points. But he's but he's a helps
• 44:50
  player. That helps you diversify your
• 44:53
  portfolio a little bit. It does, it does.
• 44:56
  That's the biggest plus for it and also midfield is where I'm
• 45:00
  not that strong. I think the value of a
• 45:03
  midfielder is more than the value of a forward.
• 45:05
  So I think that makes up for maybe the little bit of Essay
• 45:08
  inconsistency, especially with the knowledge that Essay is
• 45:10
  gonna like that. That Crystal Palace team is on
• 45:13
  the Ascendancy for the most part, You know what I mean?
• 45:16
  All right. But yeah, it's a that's a good
• 45:17
  trait. I think there's like that's
• 45:19
  respectable. I think that's a good trade.
• 45:20
  So I. I have this thing for a fantasy.
• 45:23
  If it's not broke, why try to make changes to it?
• 45:26
  That's that's true. Nate doesn't have that because
• 45:28
  this is the trade he sent me before he got Holland and I'm
• 45:30
  not sure if I'm an idiot for not accepting it.
• 45:32
  Tell me, tell me I'm not an idiot.
• 45:34
  So he wants he wanted Isaac and young he.
• 45:38
  Offered me actually. And he offered me Igor, Tiago,
• 45:41
  Matthias, Cunya and Dams God. I think I'd rather have ESAC.
• 45:45
  That's why I was thinking, OK, I'm not an idiot, all right?
• 45:47
  I still got it. I mean.
• 45:49
  Interesting. What's interesting is that Kunya
• 45:52
  and Isaac are both have both been injury prone.
• 45:55
  I think the reason that Nate was trying to get rid of Kunya
• 45:59
  because he sent me a trade for Kunya too, was that there was
• 46:01
  some rumors that Kunya might face some suspension for what
• 46:04
  happened at the end of not the most recent game, but the game
• 46:06
  before. But it looks like that's just
• 46:08
  kind of. Kind of.
• 46:10
  And the other reason I'm thinking of making my trade is
• 46:12
  because of my midfielders are Soba Slide, who starts on a
• 46:15
  regular basis, Morgan Rogers, but I also have Doku and James
• 46:18
  Madison. Well, Madison.
• 46:20
  Was he's consistent. Consistent starter bed.
• 46:23
  Lately he hasn't been and Doku's not with as AI would have
• 46:26
  someone who's there on a consistent basis.
• 46:27
  So it's. I think it's a good trade, but I
• 46:31
  think that's a very much like a, it's very marginal.
• 46:33
  It's whatever you think is best, you know, I don't think.
• 46:35
  It's like, it's like it's one of those trades where it's fair
• 46:37
  until you start seeing the results afterwards.
• 46:40
  I think I'm just going to wait and see on Thursday if Elysias
• 46:43
  starting or not and then put the trigger on the chase.
• 46:45
  Oh. My God, that'd be pretty funny.
• 46:46
  Such a Dick. Does it do that though?
• 46:48
  Does it doesn't it when? Because I noticed that someone
• 46:50
  else had done a trade and now they have to wait till after the
• 46:52
  weekend's over for the match. No, no, it should.
• 46:55
  It should exactly. As long as the game hasn't
• 46:57
  started, it should happen. OK, All righty.
• 46:59
  Are you doing bats? That's.
• 47:01
  A little different. I've literally, I've literally
• 47:03
  just got two games I want to build.
• 47:05
  I like that. OK, what are the two games?
• 47:06
  Evan and C draw. Whoa, OK, Everton City draw.
• 47:11
  I like that too actually. Plus 425 and then Forest for
• 47:14
  Spurs. Supposed to win plus 175, yeah.
• 47:21
  So you put city tie and what was the other match?
• 47:24
  Spurs win against Forest. Plus 1300.
• 47:28
  That's pretty fun. For two games.
• 47:30
  Yeah, love that. I think the draws are where
• 47:33
  there's a lot of points to be had, huh?
• 47:35
  Those are always a plus. Yeah.
• 47:37
  But see, I kind of want to put City to win now.
• 47:39
  I don't want to go against Europe.
• 47:40
  Probably you go for. More Trance 22 you gotta.
• 47:43
  Do hedge the bet. You gotta do.
• 47:44
  Yeah, hedge the bet. West Ham could beat Southampton.
• 47:49
  Yeah, yeah. They're plus 1/10.
• 47:51
  West Ham, it's. Not like, yeah, it's not like.
• 47:53
  Convincing. I'm betting.
• 47:54
  I'm betting on West Ham for sure.
• 47:55
  I think that's a good one. Tottenham.
• 47:58
  Doesn't really tie games. No, we win or live.
• 48:01
  There's no ties, There is no, there's no try.
• 48:04
  There's only do or do not. I can Chelsea let me down this
• 48:07
  week. I don't want to put Chelsea
• 48:08
  against full home. Yeah, it's gonna be a tough
• 48:11
  game. I think a Darby game and
• 48:12
  Fulham's are pretty good, so I'm not.
• 48:13
  I wouldn't. I'm not loving that one
• 48:16
  actually. I think it's tough.
• 48:17
  It's a tough week. The Wolves United game is like a
• 48:19
  little weird. I think that night to me, like
• 48:22
  has a draw written all over it. Like 2234 threes going at each
• 48:27
  other. This could be a stalemate I feel
• 48:28
  like. It's United's favorite.
• 48:30
  Mine is one O 5. I don't understand why all
• 48:33
  right, I'll just the four teams so I'll do city to win or you
• 48:37
  know what this is what we're going to do everything to win
• 48:41
  one game. Everything.
• 48:43
  Everything Liverpool and Arsenal.
• 48:48
  What's that? Plus nine O 6.
• 48:50
  That's fun. Cuz the only I'm essentially
• 48:53
  betting that every time he's going to win, that's it.
• 48:54
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I don't really believe
• 48:57
  they are, but I want to ride the city.
• 49:00
  What's the Forest? Tottenham odds. 3 forests of
• 49:03
  favorite. Top four, yeah.
• 49:04
  Forest is plus 130, Tottenham is plus 175, Thai is 280.
• 49:12
  The City Ground. Wait, can I change mine to no,
• 49:16
  Tom never ties? We want to talk about Tom never
• 49:18
  ties. They have two ties.
• 49:20
  Yeah, that's never. OK, tell me City, West Ham,
• 49:22
  Liverpool, Arsenal. City West time.
• 49:27
  Oh, so you were. You're essentially doing my bet.
• 49:29
  No, I'm sorry. Not City.
• 49:30
  Forest, West Ham, Liverpool, Arsenal.
• 49:31
  Sorry. Forest plus five O 7.
• 49:34
  It's so that is that's what I was thinking.
• 49:37
  So I had four games to 4 + 400 where you could just put
• 49:41
  everything to win at +700. I'll just stick with that
• 49:44
  because we I'm just done with this and I hate gambling.
• 49:48
  Oh, it's coming from the guy just said, oh God, I'm going to
• 49:50
  be late because I'm in the middle of a I'm balls deep in a
• 49:53
  fucking poker tournament. I did not say the term balls to
• 49:56
  you, that's not it. You know what I said that it
• 49:57
  felt like I'm saying? I said I'm running deep, which
• 50:00
  is like a like a poker term starts like a poker tournament.
• 50:03
  Sorry, I think you speak in the lingo.
• 50:05
  Oh, all right, yeah. So sounds very simple to what I
• 50:08
  just said, but. Some of the balls.
• 50:10
  The balls. Makes it weird and sexual.
• 50:12
  Oh. No, it's soccer.
• 50:14
  Balls, basketballs. Footballs.
• 50:16
  Filthy mind is what I. Think of balls.
• 50:19
  Balls deep is a very sexual term, is it?
• 50:22
  It's not that. Yes, balls deep is incredible.
• 50:24
  When I said the ball deep, I'm turning the ball deep, you know
• 50:26
  what I mean? No, it's not work.
• 50:28
  That's not working. Yeah, I think you guys think
• 50:31
  you're just filthy, all right? All right, well, this has been
• 50:35
  episode 70 of Draft Offsides. My name is Keith, I'm with Tiko
• 50:38
  Enzo, and we will see you next week.
• 50:42
  At some point. We're going to be doing crazy.
• 50:43
  There's going to be a lot of game weeks and it's crazy.
• 50:46
  We're on YouTube, we're on X, we're on Instagram.
• 50:50
  I. Just remembered it right now.
• 50:53
  Yeah, we're on all the places that draft offsides.
• 50:56
  I'll see you guys next week. See you later.
• 50:59
  Oh I hate, my bad. I literally hate it.
• 51:01
  Then what did? You do.
• 51:02
  I don't even want you a bet anymore.
• 51:04
  You know what? I don't think we should do the
• 51:05
  bet anymore. I think we should just do.
• 51:07
  I think we should do game predictions for one game and
• 51:10
  like we choose one game we predict the score.
• 51:12
  That pays a lot more. No, I'm not saying I'm saying we
• 51:15
  just do it amongst ourselves. What if we did Wolves Wolves
• 51:19
  United 00 permit City Everton 00?
• 51:23
  I wonder what the game would take the score prediction for
• 51:24
  that. Nancy Evans, 00, that could
• 51:27
  happen. Like I would have loved to put
• 51:30
  the over on Newcastle in Zilla game.
• 51:32
  Yeah, there could be a lot of goals in that, but that could
• 51:35
  also be a game where they both are like a little bit. 00.
• 51:38
  They're like, you're good. Oh no, you're good.
• 51:40
  Let me just abide my time, I mean.
• 51:44
  So I'm going to keep my bat. This will be the one.
• 51:46
  So the fact that I the fact that I don't like it means it's
• 51:48
  probably going to. Hit take a imagine.
• 51:50
  So though you don't think that would be really cool if we both
• 51:53
  really like keep winning and I beat you again and I just keep
• 51:55
  winning, and then you only lose by being two games behind
• 51:58
  because you've lost me twice. No, I don't think anyone thinks
• 52:02
  that's really cool. That's it.
• 52:04
  I don't. Understand why you think you're
• 52:06
  never going to lose again. Because that's classic like,
• 52:09
  like Icarus, you know, like fly too out of the sun.
• 52:12
  Like, you think you're just invincible.
• 52:14
  Yeah, you just can't lose. I've got to look, I've got to
• 52:16
  ride this for as long as I can. I remember what happened last
• 52:19
  year so I'm just going to ride it and then I'll just turn to a
• 52:21
  fucking salty bitch after this so.
• 52:25
  I guess as long as you're an understanding of what what.
• 52:27
  I'm under no false pretenses that this might and could and
• 52:31
  probably will end up in, you know, a history and T codes
• 52:35
  going. You know what?
• 52:37
  You know who's probably going to win?
• 52:38
  Fucking Sergey. There, there's it might be the
• 52:42
  worst one, actually, Yeah. No.
• 52:45
  There's no way any of us go three, you know this the next
• 52:47
  three-game weeks and I play shitty teams.
• 52:49
  I play Derek, I play as if already Sancho, and then I play
• 52:53
  Kyle. You don't think you're going to
• 52:55
  go 3 and? Up.
• 52:55
  It depends who's playing or not if Sala only plays two of those
• 52:57
  games. It's so hard to tell, right?
• 52:59
  It's hard to know. Like I'm playing United when
• 53:01
  they play Liverpool at afield and that's when I played Kyle,
• 53:05
  so you know they're not going to do shit.
• 53:06
  Well, you know I got lucky again because I'm playing your brother
• 53:08
  and guess he's not playing soccer.
• 53:09
  Yeah. He's not his prediction, he's
• 53:11
  predicted to like fucking. Rob, let's be honest here.
• 53:13
  Let's be honest here. The fucking predictors don't
• 53:15
  mean fucking shit. I think the predictions in
• 53:17
  American football are closer to what it could be than it is a
• 53:20
  fucking. Yeah, for sure, for damn sure,
• 53:21
  100%. Well, you also have module King
• 53:24
  Kai Havers don't have projections up, so yeah,
• 53:26
  exactly. But I don't know if Matoek is
• 53:30
  first like like a starter right now, no.
• 53:32
  But he's going to. Looks it looks like he prefers
• 53:34
  NATO and Sancho over Matoeka right now.
• 53:36
  But I really do my change but I think.
• 53:37
  He's been retained players but to be honest and there's three
• 53:41
  there's, this is a very tight game.
• 53:43
  Cup weeks coming up, he's going to play at least one of those,
• 53:45
  if not 2, or at least come off the bench.
• 53:48
  You're also kind of fucked because Watkins, Jimenez and
• 53:50
  Welbeck are not doing what they were doing.
• 53:52
  I mean, Watkins never was, but they're not putting up the
• 53:54
  numbers. You have Harvey Barnes on your
• 53:56
  bench who's been putting 20 plus points and you know the game you
• 53:58
  started is going to put up like fucking three points.
• 54:01
  That's just how. You do some more defense.
• 54:04
  What they have, my defense, is what's been carrying me.
• 54:07
  Guardio is what's been carrying. Me.
• 54:08
  No, no, just. Cardio and and Robbins and then
• 54:11
  who else? That's it.
• 54:13
  Ashley Young. Yeah, Ashley Young's been
• 54:16
  amazing. Oh shit, he's averaging 10.
• 54:18
  He's been amazing. Suck A.
• 54:19
  Dick. I won't but.
• 54:25
  I'm not joking when I say my defense has literally been
• 54:28
  carrying me. I'm not fucking like it is what
• 54:30
  it is. Look at the cliche points
• 54:32
  actually young, well everything that's been getting the last
• 54:35
  like fucking I know 00004000000. Helen, you bro 00 again.
• 54:41
  Man, see, they just, they did not.
• 54:42
  They did not. Not a score, a goal, but they
• 54:44
  know how to stop the other team. From fucking Deutsch.
• 54:46
  Fucking Deutsche. So I have a because I'm taking
• 54:50
  time off from work, so I'll probably be out until all the
• 54:52
  way end of January. My follow up appointment's on
• 54:55
  the January 7th and then I want to fly to Armenia.
• 54:58
  This. For like 3 weeks because you
• 55:00
  know, I have a bunch of family there.
• 55:02
  We have a home. It's like a very cheap trip for
• 55:03
  me to from there to Rome. It's a for our flight round
• 55:08
  trip. It's $80.
• 55:10
  But so amazing, it's so. Awesome, but I don't.
• 55:13
  Want to go to Rome? I've never been to Italy, but I
• 55:15
  don't want to go. To Rome.
• 55:16
  Why I? Not never.
• 55:19
  Like right now because I want to go for like 3 or 4 days.
• 55:22
  I want to go somewhere where I could watch a football match.
• 55:24
  Yeah, and. This is the dilemma I have.
• 55:28
  I'm listening. Because it's all, I mean, first
• 55:31
  of all, it's all amazing choices.
• 55:34
  The first thing is there's Champions League games at Bayern
• 55:37
  Munich and there's one at the Bernard Bell.
• 55:39
  Why don't you just go to the bell?
• 55:41
  It's like, have you already seen Real Madrid in Champions League?
• 55:43
  I have not. Then that's that's that's an
• 55:45
  easy choice if you're a Real Madrid fan.
• 55:48
  Let me keep going. There's also I could get a
• 55:51
  Bundesiga game where the timing works better at the Bayern
• 55:55
  Munich stadium, or I could go to the Yellow Wall.
• 55:58
  I go to the yellow wall. So The thing is, if I go to the
• 56:02
  Yellow Wall, there's not much to do in that city afterwards.
• 56:05
  I'm saying you just know. What you said, you said you
• 56:07
  wanted to go to a country where there was a football match and
• 56:10
  if you're going to take part of it, if you're if you're going to
• 56:12
  go to a game, don't get me wrong, buy me it's a big club,
• 56:14
  but there's no stadium that has that wall and has that
• 56:17
  atmosphere like that wall. Anfield's like there's only a
• 56:20
  few stadiums that have an atmosphere where you're like,
• 56:22
  fuck me, I need to go Anfield. The Yellow Wall, the Azteca
• 56:26
  thing is another one. You know what I mean?
• 56:27
  Argentina. Is that Baskano Argentina, The
• 56:31
  Boca Junior Stadium? So the yellow was the stadium
• 56:35
  that I will go to before I die. I've been to Spain, I've been to
• 56:38
  Madrid, so I've never been to Germany.
• 56:40
  So that's why I kind of want to go to Germany.
• 56:42
  Someone else might go with me. And I also have this like
• 56:44
  fucking stupid scratch off my. Something too.
• 56:47
  Who's gone with you? Just like a Oh, OK, yeah, a
• 56:50
  cousin, OK. We were.
• 56:52
  I thought you were going to be some lady friend again.
• 56:55
  No, you whore. No.
• 56:58
  I mean to be honest if I meet someone I might just take with
• 57:00
  them because with an extra fucking $200 for a flight ticket
• 57:04
  to have like a bang mate throughout the whole trip he's
• 57:09
  called a. Bang mate.
• 57:10
  Yeah, I'm so glad I'm not single.
• 57:12
  That's what that's like. What I say is I don't have to
• 57:15
  worry about that. I go with my wife, but I'm going
• 57:17
  on a trip in a few months from now and I already, we already
• 57:19
  set, we already know what we're doing.
• 57:20
  I'm actually going to go to a I'm going to go to a baseball
• 57:22
  game in Japan. It's gonna be a second.
• 57:25
  It's gonna be in Japan. I don't want to tell you because
• 57:27
  you might show. Up.
• 57:29
  Why would I show up? Because you're a Dick.
• 57:33
  I've been to Japan. Oh yeah.
• 57:35
  You got the, if you want to send me anything that I could, I
• 57:38
  should go look at. That'll be cool.
• 57:40
  I'm going to go to Kyoto, go in Tokyo, then we're going to spend
• 57:42
  a couple days in Kyoto. Then we've got to come back to
• 57:44
  Tokyo, and then we're going to go to Korea and stay in Seoul.
• 57:47
  And then after Seoul, we've got to go to Philippines.
• 57:50
  Which airline are you? So you're doing a fucking huge
• 57:52
  trip. Which airline are you flying
• 57:54
  with on the? Way there I had to book it all.
• 57:58
  I booked it all one way trip so it actually turned out to be
• 58:00
  cheaper. No, because the reason I ask is
• 58:03
  if you go to Japan using Japan Airlines.
• 58:05
  They do it in. Japan, they do the free flights.
• 58:07
  Yeah, yeah. So make some time, Toyota.
• 58:10
  Honestly, you could do all of Kyoto in probably like a day, go
• 58:13
  to Osaka. I didn't go, but whoever goes to
• 58:15
  Osaka, they'd love it. It's amazing.
• 58:17
  See, I don't think I have enough time.
• 58:18
  I might do, but then I wish I would have just.
• 58:21
  I still could. I don't I don't understand why
• 58:22
  you're doing the back and forth to Tokyo and Kyoto.
• 58:25
  Because we got a bunch of stuff in Tokyo we want to do, you
• 58:28
  know, you know, there's a lot of stuff in Tokyo, you know that
• 58:30
  already. And also Tokyo, it's so cheap
• 58:32
  right now. It's not the best time ever.
• 58:34
  Ago, Yeah. I want to get everything done.
• 58:36
  And I'm going, I'm going with an empty suitcase, my man.
• 58:38
  I'm going to go vintage shopping.
• 58:39
  I want to get some Japanese denim.
• 58:41
  I'm getting, I'm bringing back so much skin care.
• 58:43
  I'm going to look like I'm 20. Japanese.
• 58:45
  Why Japanese denim? It's a it's like, it's a thing.
• 58:47
  It's like a big thing. I've never heard of it.
• 58:49
  Well, like what's do you think? About I think just Japanese is
• 58:53
  like Americana. Japanese clothing is like better
• 58:55
  than stuff being made in America.
• 58:57
  So like they're like they're like they're spin on Western
• 58:59
  stuff. The CrossFit ship is like 10X
• 59:00
  better than what you can get in the United.
• 59:02
  States I'm so like not don't care what I wear in like the
• 59:05
  clothing. I can tell whenever I go places
• 59:06
  I never like, I never go. Shopping always look like you're
• 59:09
  always in a fucking tracksuit, like you're about to train in a
• 59:11
  football match. So funny story though the So
• 59:13
  when I went to Japan it was when they just first month they
• 59:17
  opened from COVID so their currency was in the shedder.
• 59:18
  So it was like an amazing time to go there.
• 59:20
  My cousins are like hey can you go to the store?
• 59:22
  Can you go to the store? Like whatever I'm like no I
• 59:24
  don't want to do this shit. So finally they convinced me.
• 59:27
  So I went to the store. It's like 7 stores nothing but
• 59:29
  like high end clothing stuff. At the time I was with my
• 59:32
  ex-girlfriend as well. She's like hey can you see if
• 59:33
  they have this bag that you could buy over here?
• 59:36
  It's 2500 plus tax over there. I walked out $1400 so there's AI
• 59:42
  have. A.
• 59:42
  Video of me like walking out of Louis Vuitton, like first time I
• 59:45
  ever went to Louis Vuitton. Like shopping, crossing the
• 59:47
  street with Louis Vuitton bags. Like, I mean like fucking Pretty
• 59:49
  Woman crossing the street, but you're going to buy a bunch of
• 59:57
  Kit Kats. I might, you know me.
• 59:59
  Yeah, but I'll probably I'm definitely have the egg
• 1:00:01
  sandwich, egg sand dough. I want to go get the.
• 1:00:04
  Rum, you sushi, right? I wipe ramen.
• 1:00:07
  Sushi. So I'm going to do katsu Tong
• 1:00:09
  katsu, we're going to do the. Barbecue sushi at all?
• 1:00:12
  She loves oysters. Won't touch sushi.
• 1:00:15
  Make to sing. I won't touch oysters.
• 1:00:17
  I love sushi, but raw oysters we can't do.
• 1:00:20
  Have you tried them? Have I tried them?
• 1:00:22
  Yes, I have, and they've come. Right.
• 1:00:23
  I love oysters. I Every time I tried oysters
• 1:00:28
  here, I didn't like it. I went to Croatia, I had oysters
• 1:00:31
  there, loved it. It came back.
• 1:00:33
  Now I fucking love oysters. No, really, I love.
• 1:00:35
  Oysters. Oh, I do it, man.
• 1:00:36
  It's a texture for me. I think I just can't do it as
• 1:00:39
  soon as it hits the back of my throat.
• 1:00:41
  And. Hey guys, how you doing?
• 1:00:44
  I. Feel good, man.
• 1:00:46
  Just, you know, I'm surprised to you guys and took a shot, yet
• 1:00:48
  he's been taking a shot at me every day for the last two
• 1:00:51
  weeks. I mean, you are the luckiest man
• 1:00:53
  of fantasy. Hey man, I'll be lucky and good.
• 1:00:57
  Can I just say hey, I'm not lucky and good?
• 1:01:00
  I'll do that. That is the dumbest thing ever.
• 1:01:03
  You want to be good, not lucky. OK, you're good, but you're
• 1:01:06
  still behind me. Below you I'm a power.
• 1:01:08
  Bottom The vibes in our private group chat have been getting
• 1:01:12
  very touched to you. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:01:14
  It's like it was all hunky Dory for a long time when there was 2
• 1:01:18
  certain people on top. I don't blame you, Keith.
• 1:01:20
  You're good. You're now being attacked.
• 1:01:22
  I feel sorry. I feel sorry for you.
• 1:01:24
  But you're one of the people attacking.
• 1:01:26
  Him, but Tico and his little minions and his little minions
• 1:01:30
  that he's got following Thomas, Kyle, his brother, all of them
• 1:01:34
  evil, evil little fuckers. You've been trying to bait me
• 1:01:39
  for the last two days and I've not been taking any of the
• 1:01:41
  baits. You're the aggressive one.
• 1:01:43
  I'm just pointing out facts. You're stupid, all right?
• 1:01:47
  Let's rewind for a minute. So Enzo is first in our league
• 1:01:50
  just for every all the audience, his points scored is really low.
• 1:01:54
  And so Chico is frustrated by that because Enzo seems to
• 1:01:58
  always be playing the guy who is the lowest scoring guy in the
• 1:02:01
  league every single week. And now Enzo's on a 10 year
• 1:02:03
  winning streak. So Enzo, I was looking at that.
• 1:02:05
  So you're 13 and 4, but that means that at one point you were
• 1:02:09
  three and four. Correct.
• 1:02:11
  That's correct. Good math.
• 1:02:11
  Good math is math in. About him like winning ten in a
• 1:02:15
  row and how it's like been getting severely lucky.
• 1:02:17
  He won by if he played anyone else, with the exception of
• 1:02:21
  Keith, who you played Derek, he would have lost.
• 1:02:23
  So he would have only beat two people and he just happened to
• 1:02:25
  play one of those people. And there's.
• 1:02:26
  Been so many weeks like that. Meanwhile, I'm on the other side
• 1:02:30
  of that where I've been like I've been scoring like the third
• 1:02:32
  highest and then or the second highest and losing matches.
• 1:02:35
  Keith I would have like if we played each other this.
• 1:02:37
  Week I think I might have like broken something like in the
• 1:02:39
  house. Would have like, put you like
• 1:02:41
  suicide white dress, Yeah. Seriously, I've had to like do a
• 1:02:44
  Wellness check on me. But hey, I'm back to winning.
• 1:02:47
  I'm still not in the I still, I think I'm still only at 4th, but
• 1:02:51
  it's getting tighter. It's getting tighter up top.
• 1:02:53
  It looks like the four of us are kind of pulling away, Sergei are
• 1:02:57
  kind of pulling away, and then there's Kyle, who's a wild card.
• 1:03:00
  But there it goes in there. He's lost four in a row.
• 1:03:02
  He's no longer part of the mix. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:05
  So. Yeah, it's fine.
• 1:03:07
  It's exciting time.
