0:00
He's won all these trophies with them, like Champions League and
0:02
stuff like make it a bit more emotive.
0:04
But it was just him like and every little some writing next
0:07
to it as I guess it's just really underwhelming kind of
0:10
sender. Yeah, some news just before we
0:12
started, which is apparently that their personal terms have
0:15
been agreed with. How we fellow Reds, you're back
0:18
with me, Spen and Chaz to review the end of the season.
0:23
We did it three nil versus Bruno gets the record and so much
0:28
other stuff to get into as well. Massive thanks as always for
0:31
your support this season. Me and Chaz started doing this
0:34
as Carrick joined. So you know, are we to think he
0:37
knows we'll find out. I think we are.
0:40
I think we are and if you are subscribed and following already
0:43

0:59
coming on all the socials as well.
1:00
Still get involved, get involved, watch.
1:03
As for their last one about United for a little bit, getting
1:08
into World Cup, bright and nail United 3 good result.
1:13
Yeah, really good. Like I was not expecting.
1:16
I wasn't expecting to be fair, but obviously based on the
1:19
predictions, like I said, I always predict, you know, I win
1:21
a what? But like I thought just because
1:24
they had so much to play for, because they still could have
1:27
got Champions League football. So I'm just expecting more from
1:29
them. But also I think it's just a
1:31
reflection on how we played with them.
1:33
It was just because we were relaxed, chilled, when I have
1:36
like a kind of good end to the season.
1:38
And yeah, it was. Yeah, that's what happened.
1:41
Yeah, very impressed and cracking the flags.
1:43
Sunshine. I mean, shots now.
1:45
Actually, it's still sunny. Perfect day baseball oh, even in
1:49
Scotland guys you know must be nice in Britain, but yeah really
1:54
impressive and we're getting to some of the key moments but as
1:56
always, let's look at our predictions and bets So you went
1:59
with A32 United got the win obviously and I went with a 21
2:04
United so so. I got the goals.
2:07
You did. You did.
2:08
You got the, you got the three. I didn't expect that way at
2:10
Brighton, so fair play to you. And to keep a clean sheet as
2:13
well. Love it.
2:14
Yeah, yeah. I'm not, I don't know what our
2:17
last kind of performances against Brighton, but in my
2:22
recent memory, I feel like they're pretty poor results
2:25
against them. They always do us pretty well
2:27
like them and Brentford and the teams that seem to be just
2:30
consistently beat us. So yeah, like nice to go away
2:32
and get a win like that. Yeah, particularly with Carrick,
2:35
you know, first job as permanent manager as well.
2:37
I think we said on the on the last pod that you probably would
2:40
want a bit of a commanding performance and he he definitely
2:43
got one. And then in terms of scorers, I
2:47
don't think we were going to bet on doggy to score.
2:51
No, no. Especially a bullet header as
2:54
well. Superb.
2:56
I was, I was checking his before, before we started.
2:59
I was just checking his height, see how tall he is, see if he
3:02
can be popping up more often. You see 61.
3:04
So he's a decent height. He's obviously very athletic as
3:07
well. And so maybe it should be more
3:09
of that in the future, maybe you can pick up the slack where
3:12
passengers off. Yeah, we said that about a short
3:14
last time. And you know, I know Dom is
3:17
likely to play further forward, but if these kind of players can
3:20
chip him with a few more goals, I'm going to say maybe a couple
3:23
of times at his pod chest. But that's title winning stuff,
3:25
you know. And I yeah, I've said it, I've
3:29
said it and line up, line up. To be fair, he went, he went
3:32
strong, didn't he? And obviously, yeah, I'll be
3:35
coming in and there's a strange absence from Delo, which has
3:38
kind of been squashed. He kind of, we went to the Amex,
3:41
but he wasn't kind of in the squad.
3:43
But yeah, the team was pretty, pretty healthy.
3:46
Yeah, obviously I thought man actually did pretty well in that
3:52
position. Like he's not, he's still not
3:54
his position. He's still better further at the
3:57
pitch, but I thought he was actually pretty decent, like
3:59
like tidy and gets about to pitch a lot.
4:02
So yeah, I was happy to see him versus Agate as I sure most
4:07
people were. And I think that shows Carrick's
4:09
thoughts on Agate is like, that was a game where you'd think he
4:14
would be copying the gate, but then to put someone who's kind
4:18
of out of position there just shows really that what his
4:21
opinions are of a gate. So I'll be very surprised if
4:23
he's here next season. Yeah, a great point.
4:26
It's it's a put in there, particularly against the team, a
4:29
dangerous team like Brighton as well.
4:31
You'd think you'd need a bit more enforcer, but he's gone,
4:33
he's gone bold and it's it's paid off, which is nice.
4:36
But yeah, let's get into some of these moments and then obviously
4:39
you won't overdo it because, you know, it wasn't that a massive
4:41
game, but it was still great to get it and great have the
4:44
performance. But yeah, that goal and what a
4:47
moment for Bruno. So great crossing and then
4:50
Ballad argue with a bullet header.
4:52
I was a little bit worried, you know, that he might that Bruno
4:55
might not get the assist when I first started with kind of how
4:57
it kind of hit the bar keeper and all that kind of good stuff.
5:00
But it still went in that be. True, I know true way to lose a
5:06
that certainly means like would it be like a semi own goal type
5:09
thing and ends up being a an own goal and you get a sister own
5:14
goal and like we thought he would get it.
5:16
So yeah, nice to say and yeah, fully deserved.
5:19
Like he gets a lot of hate still and particularly from some X
5:24
United pundits. Like, yeah, he's just been
5:27
putting up numbers season after season and poor to average team.
5:32
Like he's just unbelievable. Like and I saw, I don't know if
5:37
you I didn't realize this, whether we spoke about the other
5:39
week with Keno getting in on him and apparently Keane got the
5:43
quote wrong. He said, OK, so Keane basically
5:48
said, I can't believe he's saying he should have, I should
5:53
have what? Basically whatever Bruno said
5:55
was I should have shot and should have passed or I should
5:57
have passed into the shop. King got the wrong way round and
6:02
slated him for it and actually got that.
6:04
He got the wrong way round and Bruno basically was saying I
6:06
should have. He said I should have.
6:09
Well, I shouldn't have shot or so I can't really was whichever
6:12
he ran it was, but it was yeah, you basically got it completely
6:14
wrong and then went on like a 5 minute rant about this disgrace
6:17
for all this kind of stuff, trying to get an assist, record
6:20
false information. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:23
Well, let's ignore the haters and we did it a few times on
6:26
this pod, you know, since we started quite rightly.
6:28
But just let's celebrate the man like use wonderful #21 he's
6:33
clear above Onry and the Bryan now, which is fantastic to have
6:37
in there again in a non title winning team, an underperforming
6:40
team, all these things just make it even more special.
6:43
And my next mention is has he got 21 the season before you
6:47
night you get 21. Totally.
6:50
That's a premonition through this premonition.
6:53
All this stuff, he's just telling me something.
6:55
What do you think, fellow? You're.
6:56
Going to feel like next season him, he played like half a
7:01
season as a deep midfielder. So like I think he could have
7:04
smashed the record if he was like again next season you gotta
7:09
think we're getting better. Like I feel like it's that's
7:12
something that's always achievable for him getting to
7:14
those sorts of numbers based on an improving team as well.
7:19
Especially if he's got like a two behind him who he can fully
7:23
trust to be always kind of making his killer passes because
7:26
it doesn't matter so much if they go wrong and he's got
7:28
someone there. So yeah, I like, I don't know.
7:32
I just feel like with the amount of chances he created this year,
7:35
it was insane. I don't know if you've seen the
7:37
chart where it's like everyone else and he's like over here off
7:40
screen. Yeah.
7:41
So you just say, yeah, if he had said it before, like if Holland
7:44
was playing for us, he would have got 30 assists.
7:47
Doesn't mean this season, probably.
7:48
Well, it's a good point as well because he's also going to be
7:51
playing next season with players who have got a lot more comfort
7:55
being at United. So like you and your old, Yeah,
7:57
won't be his first season when Bremer won't be his first
7:59
season. Cesco on a bit more.
8:01
So you'd hope as well that these players will be able to kind of
8:04
add more. So yeah, who knows what you
8:06
could achieve next season. That would be amazing.
8:08
Yeah, yeah, they've all got what, over 10?
8:11
They've all got over 10 goals. Like each is.
8:13
I think it's the first time since some Arsenal players back
8:16
in the day for three new signings.
8:20
So you think like, yeah, they should be getting their goal is
8:23
a minimum, I think should be 15 each and then Bruno's probably
8:26
1, providing most of them. So, you know, why not smash his
8:31
own record next season? He said it again, yes, spot how
8:36
many times we could have mentioned it this part.
8:38
But yeah, for example as well, if Cesco's going to be our
8:40
number 9 we both want him to be, he's probably got to be pushing
8:43
20 plus, right? That's what we kind of need from
8:45
him. And as you said, yeah, that
8:47
Bruno's already shown what the connection could be with him,
8:50
you know, aerially, but just just generally as well.
8:52
So could be excited and. Seven goals, right, second-half
8:57
the season, yeah. So if he replicates that for
8:59
first half, did not say twenty goals and he obviously wasn't
9:02
getting starting many games. Obviously it was in Ameren's
9:04
awful system. So yeah, like 20 goals like you
9:07
said. I agree, Twenty goals should be
9:08
his starting goal after next season.
9:13
Yeah, yeah, I hope so. But yeah, I'm also loving people
9:16
trying to take some stuff away from Bruno, talking about how
9:19
many set pieces he was. A Who cares?
9:22
B Arsenal have literally just won a title based on that as
9:25
well. So yeah, Bruno, Bruno can't
9:27
have, you know, a record and all these accolades for doing it
9:31
personally, but a team are allowed to win the league on it,
9:34
and that's all right. So it's so.
9:37
Corners don't count, now, do they?
9:39
Or three kicks don't count. Like, it's just bitter.
9:42
I don't say I saw her on Sky Sports, but no one's ever
9:45
mentioned the ratio of open play to set play, but goals assists
9:49
before until this season because it's just again, it's United
9:53
sells ads. So it's it's it's just click
9:56
baity stuff even from like the big boys like Sky Sports.
9:59
Like why you suddenly mentioning it?
10:01
And then I saw, I don't know if you've seen this, but Andre
10:04
scored obviously got his 20 assists and on their stat it has
10:08
zero from corners everything. And I've seen someone post a
10:13
video, he's like 5 of them are from corners of free kicks.
10:16
So they've not even done someone's like that doesn't
10:19
sound right because Henry used to take corners and then I was
10:22
like, well, did Arsenal not score any corners that whole
10:24
season from that side? And then this plight was like
10:27
posted a video and there's like four or five of them which were
10:29
from open place. So, so from set piece and same
10:33
with Debrine. So I don't know what whoever did
10:35
the research didn't do it very well.
10:36
And then also like you said, who cares?
10:40
Like it's created a goal, right? And it's almost like, is it
10:45
harder to create an assist from a corner or a free kick when
10:50
everyone's set and like purposely there like man on man
10:54
marking zonal defense? Like it's harder to get a
10:56
perfect ball on someone's head to score that.
10:59
Like it's just, yes, it's stupid.
11:02
It's mad, yeah. I just, it doesn't make any
11:03
sense and it's just any excuse to try and claw it away from
11:06
him. But you can.
11:07
He's got it. He's clear at 21.
11:09
What a player. And we'll come back to him in a
11:11
little bit as well, because it's not his only involvement.
11:13
But let's get into the the second goal as well, which was
11:17
lovely. Like literally just that
11:18
football shout out Ahmad as well, because he's he's got a
11:21
bit of a tough one, but the feet there to find mount mount with a
11:25
delicate little ball through across the goal.
11:27
Great running from M Bueno. And then he taps it in.
11:30
I I literally was on my feet just going crazy for that goal
11:33
because I loved it a bit more. Next season.
11:36
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like those little which
11:38
we've seen a lot more of since Carrots came in.
11:40
We saw it in the the first game against City, like those little
11:43
triangles and passing around. Obviously that was kind of at
11:45
the side of the pitch, not in a danger area.
11:47
But now yesterday we saw it happening in in the right areas
11:50
as well. And obviously it's creating
11:52
goals and it's nice to see these little patterns emerging, which
11:55
shows like Carrick's not a vibes manager, he has technical mouse
12:00
as well. So yeah, also really nice for
12:03
Ahmad and Brian to link up as well because obviously they've
12:06
had a bit of a tough time, both of them, though Brian's got two
12:08
and two and I might just finally got another assist which takes
12:11
into having three proceeding or something.
12:14
Yeah, Brian. Brian scoring again.
12:17
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
12:18
Did a bat just enter your room then it look?
12:20
Watch it on camera. So I Buzzard, Yeah.
12:25
Just show you looking around everywhere.
12:28
Brilliant. I love it.
12:30
Yeah, a lovely goal. And let's get back to Bruno
12:32
because he then scores the 3rd, so he's not only creating goals,
12:36
he's scoring as well. And again, lovely bit of play.
12:39
Bruno through what? A finish.
12:42
No. Right.
12:42
Finish. Yeah.
12:44
He's just running out of things to say to him now and like about
12:49
him now, sorry, like he just keeps keeps doing it.
12:52
Like I wonder like I was like, if you haven't got the assist
12:58
earlier in the game, why would you try to figure out a way
13:00
like, oh shit, I'm like, what do I do here?
13:02
How can I how can I turn this into an assist?
13:05
But obviously a really nice finish and great for him to get
13:08
on the Shorty and item is triple captain and my fancy team.
13:10
So that helped me as well. Little mention of fantasy.
13:13
Shall we do it well? Why, you've mentioned it now.
13:16
Charles beat me this season comfortably.
13:19
Where did you come? One below me, I came, I came, I
13:23
came third but in a table of 6 so mid table slash just about
13:28
the relegation zone. Yeah, I did a Spurs and
13:30
basically just staved off relegation over on the last day.
13:35
On the last day we had good, good triple captain and we
13:37
wanted a bit of a Bruno celebration and we got it.
13:40
And yeah, it would have been funny though, if I just had on
13:42
the third goal, he just runs off and then he lets you wait, just
13:45
stops. Just.
13:46
To join it, yeah. He's like, please, I want to get
13:49
another mistake. Yeah, what a goal.
13:52
And yeah. If he did get another assist he
13:53
would have been in the European record of mothers as well.
13:56
Would have been nice. Next season, Next season is
13:59
that. Yeah, I'm telling you.
14:01
So they were obviously the main moments and really enjoyed it.
14:04
But some other things to call out as well.
14:05
But you must have been a tricky time for McGuire.
14:07
Obviously you posted and too cool had a bit of a swipe,
14:11
obviously saying he was surprised that you posted.
14:13
But McGuire loves England and you know, I can imagine, but he
14:17
played well. He was really solid.
14:20
Yeah, like it's kind of what you expect him to do.
14:22
It's like probably had more eyes on him a bit to see how he
14:26
reacted and he just kind of delivered.
14:28
And that's also what they're missing by not taking him.
14:30
It's just kind of like he doesn't need to start either.
14:33
Just he's dependable. You can trust him when he comes
14:35
on. Like, yeah, I kind of how many
14:37
seasons it was again now like Four Seasons ago when the other
14:40
obvious that bad season. But since then, you can't knock
14:43
his performances for England and for for United, Like he's been
14:46
putting putting up kind of great performances throughout.
14:49
You like those kind of wobbles that he was having and bad
14:52
passes or something. Like that's, I can't remember
14:55
the last time he's made a mistake that's led to a goal.
14:58
Like must be a couple of seasons now, obviously that one season
15:01
where he was happening a lot. But yeah, I just think he's
15:04
yeah, I feel really sorry for him for not getting on in the
15:06
England squad, to be fair. Same, Same.
15:08
Yeah. Still don't understand it, but
15:10
we'll see in the summer. But fair play to him.
15:13
I was desperate for him to get a goal.
15:15
And actually when when Doggy's head went in, I just assumed
15:19
that that was kind of like Maguire territory and I was
15:21
about to go crazy. And then I was, I was happy that
15:23
it was, it was Balan Dog anyway. Oh, so do you see again?
15:27
Not to get back into the England score, but I saw Stones didn't
15:30
even start because he was injured.
15:32
Hey, yeah, clearly he's been injured for a while as well.
15:35
So yeah, I don't know if Mcguire's upset him or
15:38
something, but he says some real odd one.
15:41
Yeah, really weird. Yeah, and I also really enjoyed
15:44
watching Main in yesterday. I thought he was just nice and
15:46
tidy and he's still showing a bit more desire to get forward.
15:50
And I think he I'm excited for his next season.
15:52
I think he, you know, he's done really well since Carrie joined
15:56
and a better confidence reassurance.
15:58
Hopefully he'll have, you know, a nice exciting signing next to
16:01
him as well. But yeah, excited for what he
16:03
could do next year. Yeah, I think who is I think
16:08
scholars and Keen mentioned how they used to be like someone
16:13
will go forward and the moment the 1 drops back, if Keene
16:15
pushed forward, scores a drop back a little bit and vice versa
16:18
is normally scores. But it's like that's what kind
16:21
of thing I think where it could potentially happen.
16:22
Whoever this partner is with Kobe, but he has obviously
16:26
scored good goals before. So you think maybe, yeah, if he
16:28
could, if he has someone with legs, obviously had an amazing
16:32
season, but someone who can be as good positionally as
16:35
customary, but also have the legs to to clean up if stuff
16:39
happens. Then hopefully I'll give Kobe
16:42
some more kind of leeway to get up because he's actually got a
16:46
good finish on him. And he's he can play these
16:48
little sneaky little balls and little flicks and stuff, which
16:50
would be like we saw from from Mount, he can do that as well.
16:52
So it'd be nice to see more of that.
16:54
And yeah, he's obviously he's still only like 20.
16:56
So he's just building. And I think that's agree that's
17:00
something he can build on more so.
17:03
How excited he is and it is. What do you think?
17:05
Is that mount in the shop window or is that mount sticking around
17:08
next season in the squad? I think Matt's sticking around
17:11
in the squad and I'm I'm fine with that.
17:13
I think I think he he's United career doesn't look good and
17:20
hasn't been good. Not because he's not a good
17:22
player like Agarte and Xixi or he doesn't fit United, he does.
17:26
He just is 2 injury prone. He's not on the pitch enough.
17:28
That's so he's never really had a decent run and we needed to
17:31
get this kind of one under Matt Hammer and he was, he was
17:33
decent, but those runs have been like 3 or 4 games.
17:38
Then he's out for three months and so that's been his United
17:41
career. But there's definitely a player
17:42
in there. So I'd love him to to stay fit.
17:45
And yeah, by next season we got a lot of games.
17:47
So you can see him getting like 20 odd games next season but
17:50
making a proper impact. I agree, really like him.
17:54
I hope he can stay fit and I think you're going into the
17:57
Champions League as well. A great player to to bring on.
17:59
So fingers crossed him out, but it's good to watch him as well.
18:03
Let's just have to change this feature next season to is it
18:06
anyone other than Bruno Fernandez?
18:08
Yes, normally it is, and I'm not sure it's going to be too
18:11
different today, but Chaz, man of the match.
18:13
For you, I think I'm Can I give it to?
18:19
It's crazy, isn't it as well, It's ridiculous that you almost
18:22
have to play it down. But you can't knock him.
18:24
Kenya, he's anybody. He's assisted, he's scored, he's
18:26
everywhere. Like say some of the players
18:28
putting some decent performances and a worth of mention, which
18:30
we've given already. But that man Bruno isn't it.
18:33
Yeah, it's going to be right. You can't break a record, get an
18:37
assist and score and win 3 nil as captain and not getting out
18:42
of match. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
18:44
But celebrating them and again, but let's have a quick look at
18:47
Brighton as well. So obviously, you know, we were
18:49
both surprised to kind of comfortably win because they're
18:52
a great team and they've had a great season.
18:54
But what are your thoughts on them?
18:57
I, I think I messaged and now one of our mates group, I was
19:00
like they, I think they're in the conference league.
19:03
Australia was like, I think they've won that because they
19:05
are a really good team and the quality of teams that are in
19:07
that competition don't really match up to Brighton.
19:11
Yes, I think they're good. I think they're obviously
19:13
disappointed. They kind of slipped down the
19:14
table a little bit, maybe should have started Danny well, bit
19:18
more in the last few games and you might have won some more.
19:23
But yeah, quality team like Ossie Belabor came on in this
19:26
second-half, so it's interesting to see him.
19:30
I don't really remember too much of them.
19:33
He nailed someone. Is it doggy?
19:38
He nailed doggy and then he had a shot.
19:41
So again, like just thinking we had a lot of auditions recently
19:45
with like Anderson and stuff who was amazing, like the labour.
19:50
I feel like I would still take him, but the price tag was
19:54
probably more like 40-50 million now versus 100 last year.
19:58
But they've got a lot of tidy players, right?
20:00
And like Matome is decent. And who's the who's the cent
20:08
amid? I think in my growth you just
20:11
joined as well. Yeah, basically whoever was on
20:18
before Belabor. But yeah, they're they're
20:22
they're a good team. I'm always thinking now though,
20:24
at the point where they maybe should be doing better than they
20:30
are. I guess this season they they
20:32
got European qualification. It's probably like a goal for
20:34
them, but you feel like maybe they should be pushing for
20:37
Europa sort of qualification. Yeah, I think the tidy alpha and
20:42
they've had such a great season. It was mad that they had to kind
20:45
of at the end of the game, I'll be on the phones to see how the
20:47
other results had gone because you thought they were well past
20:50
that situation. But and they could have dropped
20:52
out that that was probably one of the most interesting parts of
20:54
the end of the season, which we'll get to get to in a bit.
20:56
But yeah, I do think based on the whole season, Brighton
20:59
deserves some form of European football.
21:03
On your believer point is, it's a funny one.
21:05
I think because we flirted with him for a bit.
21:07
I don't know how to feel. If we sign him, I'll probably be
21:09
a bit like, OK, obviously there'll be other players that
21:13
I'd probably be a bit more excited about to see.
21:15
But yeah, hopefully, you know, we've made some decent decisions
21:18
recently and we've we've hopefully done our homework.
21:21
Apparently he was gutted when, you know, he missed out.
21:23
So let's see. But yeah, some good players,
21:26
good season, good young manager as well.
21:28
And so, yeah, I think future's bright for them.
21:32
No point. Yeah, right.
21:36
So yeah, just generally I think in terms of just wrapping up
21:39
that game, great win, a tough place all about Bruno, which is.
21:45
I've got some youngsters on him. We.
21:46
We got some youngsters. And Jack, was it Tyler or Jack,
21:50
one of the Fletchers? It's jacketing.
21:54
It was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's nice to get them on.
21:58
Like, we weren't sure if there'd be more of that.
22:01
I thought it'd be more in the squad.
22:03
But I also, I think you'd forget in I know Heaven and Yarrow
22:06
aren't Academy players, but they're still getting kind of
22:10
game time. And they're they're because
22:12
they've been in the squad for a long time.
22:13
They're still young players. So it's good to see them get
22:17
some minutes as well. Yeah, nice taste of the future.
22:20
And obviously we've been following the kind of the, you
22:21
know, the youth teams as well this season as well, and there's
22:23
some really exciting talents there.
22:25
So with how we finished with our main squad, you know, I think we
22:29
need to bolster that and then with some of this youth coming
22:31
through as well, that's why I'm getting excited as I can't help
22:34
it. And why not?
22:35
This is what it's all about. Carrick's believe again.
22:38
Yeah. Also with what's going on, all
22:41
the other clubs, like you don't feel like Arsenal are going to
22:46
dominate for years with that team.
22:49
So like, let's kind of get too excited.
22:54
But I'm excited, yeah. Same, same, right.
22:58
Let's kind of just I guess review the end of the season as
23:00
well then and and some of the other stuff that kind of went
23:03
on. So we we know about Carrick
23:05
permanent there. Great first win and his numbers
23:09
are just incredible. He took over January 13th when
23:12
we were 7th. Obviously that's where me and
23:14
you started started doing this as well.
23:15
Interested to see how it was going to go. 39 points from 17
23:19
games more than any manager over the same period, including
23:23
Arsenal, the winners. So amazing.
23:26
Yeah, like people are trying to take it.
23:30
I put stuff down on him. So the 17 games isn't like a
23:34
small like oh, interim manager thing.
23:35
That's like half a season. So you can't that's not that's
23:40
not a new manager bands 17 games.
23:43
So and he's come back from losses and it was all, I see a
23:46
response. And then he responded with wins
23:49
against on the back of the last. And then I, oh, but he only lost
23:52
one. You got to see a response to
23:54
losing 3. It's like, well, you never want
23:57
to lose 3 in a row. So let's just be happy we lost
23:59
one and then we, we bounced back.
24:02
So I think he's like, as an audition goes, what I, what more
24:05
could you done? Like if you on that what that
24:08
first pod was or when it when he first came in, we were like,
24:12
like statistically we were close to top, top 4 and get a
24:16
Champions League 4. But I didn't really.
24:17
I still probably would have been like, OK, Europa League's
24:20
annoying, but I'll take it. But it's some of the point
24:23
swings you've seen in like Chelsea, like dropping like a
24:26
stone, like they were like maybe, but Miss Villa were nine
24:29
points ahead of us. Honestly, yeah.
24:31
Liverpool were five ahead of us, I think, yeah.
24:38
So to turn like for those swings to happen like that is some job.
24:43
And yeah, it shouldn't be underestimated what he's done,
24:46
despite a lot of people wanting to.
24:48
Yeah, I'm, I'm like that he had some adversity as well in terms
24:51
of he was probably on my listing that he'd come in and win
24:53
everything. But like you said, it showed
24:55
that even when we did drop points, he bounced back.
24:58
And that's a really good sign for me.
25:00
And it's just been, yeah, it's been amazing.
25:02
A shout out to him and his coaching staff, which he's
25:04
retained going forward, which makes absolute sense.
25:06
It looks like they've got a pretty good blend there of
25:09
experience and United know how, and they're clearly doing
25:12
something right at the minute. So I really hope that they can,
25:15
you know, with a full summer as well and a transfer window, get
25:18
fully behind him and let's have a go next season, eh?
25:22
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
25:24
Let's do it and season highlights.
25:27
I don't know if you think into the Amarin area whether there's
25:30
anything that you can really remember, but anything Carl outs
25:33
you that we've not really discussed in terms of United
25:36
memories. He's not been that the best
25:38
season he's ended much better than he started.
25:40
But what for you really kind of stand out I'm.
25:46
Trying to think of any Amarin stuff which was positive, I
25:49
guess, like, remove the removal of like, the bad eggs and that
25:55
kind of thing. But yeah, it wasn't like a
25:57
happy, happy camp, was it, with him?
25:59
Like, you know, it started off all right.
26:01
And I'm trying to think it was only particular games where you
26:06
beat them for. Right.
26:07
That was him. Yeah.
26:10
Yeah, Yeah. So that was obviously a
26:13
positive. But on the whole, yeah, that
26:16
first half of the season I'd never thought it would end in
26:20
3rd and beating Brighton three nil in the sun on the final day
26:25
of season and it not meaning anything is is is amazing.
26:28
Like to have that. So yeah, like and then obviously
26:31
highlights are again, this is the product of Amarin, but Kobe
26:36
Kobe's comeback is is is definitely one of them.
26:41
Obviously Bruno is obvious. But also just like the three new
26:44
signings. All I know them were like
26:46
incredible seasons, but I think they all had good seasons.
26:51
And then Lamons is probably a step above in terms of his
26:54
season versus #3 he's probably like really good season.
26:59
Like again, not like unbelievable, but for what he's
27:02
done. Young keeper coming into the
27:03
Premier League at the biggest club club to to play like he's
27:08
been playing and to not make headlines for the wrong reasons
27:12
after what we've had for last few years.
27:14
It's just that if there wasn't for Bruno this year, he probably
27:18
my player of the year. Yeah, because I think he's just
27:21
been unbelievable. What about you?
27:23
Any other highlights? Yeah, no, I think you've nailed
27:25
loads there. Chaz and I saw United did this
27:28
thing about like an unsung hero and but loads of people selected
27:32
Lemons randomly. Bruno selected Dallow and I
27:35
think Xerx he selected and Wemo. But for me Lemons is definitely
27:39
that unsung hero and he's just been phenomenal.
27:41
I hope he can continue it. I think as you mentioned, with
27:44
Ameren as well, it's hard to think of like a lot of plus
27:46
points, you know, with him. But I think he has played, we
27:50
said this before, but like quite an interesting role in the
27:52
future in terms of, like you said, he has kind of cleaned the
27:54
decks, like finally, you know, with some of this stuff.
27:57
And, you know, he must have been involved in some of this
27:59
recruitment as well. So he's played a part and, you
28:02
know, we knew it was time for him to move on.
28:03
And then Carrick's come in and just done an incredible job with
28:06
it. So that thing for me doing the
28:09
double over the scouses and, you know, that's finally winning an
28:12
field is probably yeah, a big one.
28:15
And then it's more just like, I think what some of the stuff
28:17
we've already discussed the finish really, you know,
28:20
delighted for Bruno to get this recognition and this reward and
28:23
just so excited to be back in the Champions League, right?
28:26
We just, we used to take it for granted Image.
28:28
I was just like, Oh yeah. Where they had a music and other
28:31
fans used to talk about, you know, getting chills and stuff
28:33
and the music. And if I'm honest, I did get a
28:35
bit complacent with that. So, you know, it's a slap on the
28:38
slap on the wrist for me. But I'm just excited to have it
28:41
back at the Trafford again and can't wait to to be there and
28:44
just feel it again. So that for me is probably the
28:47
big stuff. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
28:51
And let's start taking it with Lowe's.
28:52
We know there's been a few Grimsby Shocker, just cups in
28:56
general. Shocker, Yeah.
28:59
So I'd really like, I don't want to be too greedy, but would
29:02
really love us to have a bit of a cup run next next season as
29:07
well. Yeah, try and get that quad.
29:12
But yeah, let's look at wider as well around the league.
29:15
So let's start. Like I say, it was kind of
29:19
anticlimactic really. In terms of what?
29:21
Based on what it could. Be so, we'd already discussed
29:25
Arsenal winning the league and since then there's been lots of
29:28
content on it which I know you've been enjoying.
29:30
Chess, Yeah. I I just, I so everyone is like,
29:37
I hate watching things, isn't it?
29:38
Like I, it keeps coming up and I keep looking at it makes me
29:41
angry. I'm like, why am I bothering
29:43
looking at these idiots? Like they're just quite fair
29:48
play. They've won the league.
29:49
So I'm sure we'll be buzzing when we win it again next year.
29:51
So but I was just seeing all this stuff like what is it?
29:57
It's basically like Rice versus Bruno and it's now I'll put your
30:02
Premier League medal on medal on your table.
30:04
And that's the conversation over.
30:05
It's like like, I think, I don't know that obviously the PFA
30:11
final awards issues both for the players hasn't come out yet, not
30:15
yet. But but from what I've heard,
30:18
like lots of people have over Bruno, which I think again, when
30:22
their peers are doing it again, it might be the Arsenal kind of
30:26
Mike Rice could still nick it essentially.
30:28
But like if you look at the stats and what he's done, like
30:32
it's unbelievable what Bruno's done.
30:34
So yeah, I just want to do it again, but.
30:38
I had this conversation over there.
30:39
Look, I I actually really like Declan Rice.
30:41
I think he's a great player, but I actually don't understand it.
30:44
And this is honestly me not being blinkered.
30:46
I know I don't watch him week in, week out, but I actually
30:48
think like Arsenal and other clubs have got more of a they
30:52
could put someone better up against Bruno to maybe make me
30:55
think about it. So, for example, David Raya has
30:57
been like fantastic this season. Show us Gabrielle.
31:00
Yeah, if they kind of said those. 2 would be like yeah,
31:03
yeah. I'd be like, yeah, fair enough.
31:04
And it would be quite funny if Ray had actually won it and
31:07
Arsenal won the league because it would just show kind of like
31:09
how they won it. Well, like that save, he made it
31:13
for Fernandez against West Ham. Like amazing that that won the
31:17
league, basically. That won the league.
31:19
I obviously City dropped off, but you don't know how mentally
31:22
they changed out basically. But yeah, like, that was huge.
31:27
And I can't think of a defining game where thinking like, I'm
31:32
like, you have not watched every Arsenal game, but is there a
31:35
defining performance that season where like, well, like what I
31:38
see is Declan Rice being praised for saying it's not over after
31:42
they lost the city. Yeah, he's ever present and he
31:48
does obviously an important role in that team, but so did Bruno
31:51
and then more so did Bruno and then sets all of these records.
31:55
So it's I don't, I honestly don't understand the argument.
31:57
And like I say, I think there's other players that it would
31:59
maybe be a better argument, but I don't, I don't care.
32:02
I'll do enough and I like. Rice I obviously I think we
32:04
should have signed. I loved it.
32:05
We signed right in his quality. But I just don't think because
32:08
he's won the league this year and he's captain or he's down
32:11
captain that that he deserves to win it because he hasn't been
32:14
the best. Player, I think.
32:16
It's just in reality. I don't even think manager of
32:19
the season should just necessarily go to the title
32:21
winner as well, because sometimes you've got to really
32:22
look at the job you've done with the resources you've had, the
32:24
challenges you've had and the. Springs.
32:26
What's his face? Yeah, it's Keith Andrews.
32:29
Yeah, Keith Andrews. Yeah, it's phenomenal.
32:32
Look at where Sunderland are in the table, you know what I mean?
32:34
That's an unbelievable job. And Bournemouth, Areola's got
32:38
them to Champions League, right? Yeah, exactly.
32:40
Because Villa won it. So it's dropped down to to that.
32:42
So you feel, I feel like if I was Areola now, I'd be like,
32:46
it'd be fun to take Bournemouth into the Champions League.
32:50
Like, yeah, I guess you'll probably go somewhere bigger.
32:54
This is just his his opportunity, isn't it, when he
32:57
stocks at the highest pretty much.
32:59
But it'll be interesting to see to see how they do.
33:03
Yeah. And then the relegation was a
33:05
bit of anticlimax as well. So we kind of expected a bit
33:08
more drama. To be fair.
33:09
West Ham did their job, but too little too late.
33:11
And then Spurs managed to get a get a one nil win.
33:14
I don't think Everton were at it much to be honest.
33:17
No, he wanted a bit more jeopardy on the final day.
33:20
Or like at least it would be like obviously if those 311 they
33:25
still were staying up, but it would be nice to have that like
33:28
risk of an Everton last minute goal and West Ham kind of what
33:32
like cuddled around watching the phones and stuff up.
33:34
But none of that happened, sadly.
33:36
And I'll say it. You were right, Jazz.
33:38
I was wrong. You said that West Ham would go
33:40
down. And I'd called Spurs for a long
33:42
time, a lot closer than they should be, really.
33:47
But yeah, unfortunately for West Ham in the end.
33:50
Yeah, yeah. Although I was thinking about it
33:52
just from a kind of a transverse perspective.
33:54
I was like, actually, I'd rather like, if I was going to pick
33:57
players to get on the cheap because someone's been
33:59
relegated, I'd actually prefer West Ham's options with
34:02
Fernandez. Even Bowen, I think he'd be a
34:06
great, great job. And what's the juice?
34:10
There's like a younger kind of up and coming, yeah, wingback.
34:14
But yeah, I was thinking about Spurs players.
34:17
I don't actually knew. They're under then maybe.
34:20
And then who? Who would you choose over
34:23
having, having Fernandez, for example?
34:25
I don't think I'll choose. There's been chats with Pedro
34:28
Paro, hasn't he? But you got to look at, yeah,
34:31
got to look at some of these players.
34:32
I'm not sure. Interesting one, I'm Boeing.
34:34
What you think he does now, Mr. West Ham?
34:36
Does he go down and try and get him back on?
34:38
Does he take this opportunity to say, you know, sorry guys, but
34:41
I'm going to go to? XI Don't know.
34:45
I guess he I guess it would be come down to like who wants him
34:48
if any of the big like Champions League clubs, I think he's got
34:51
to go because like he's done so much for the club.
34:57
I think, yeah, I think he's got to go.
35:00
Like if he got a Champions League football opportunity, I
35:05
just I think he'll stay though to be fair, I don't think he's
35:07
going to get that opportunity. Yeah, I don't know who it's.
35:10
I'd like him, but he's 29, right?
35:13
So yeah, how much you're going to pay for him?
35:18
Quite good for us on that, right?
35:19
You know what I mean? Obviously I know we've got a
35:20
couple of players there, but yeah, it's interesting.
35:23
I think surely they can't be good, you know, move.
35:26
I think he's just just needs to not go to a rival and do like a
35:31
yeah, Declan Rice move. But yeah, he's he could.
35:34
Play a good play that because he can also play down the middle of
35:37
it as well. She would be good for us signing
35:39
for us because as a backer is he a backup ish to Cesco but also
35:44
offers really good kind of wing play like so I convinced myself
35:49
who's your buying? Your earlier first Boeing
35:54
million. Brilliant.
35:56
And then the other thing across Manchester, perhaps Gump.
36:01
Yeah. Do you see his banner?
36:03
That's such a shitty banner, did you see it?
36:06
I didn't see it. Actually, no.
36:07
Like that, you know, teeth of lightning, like awful.
36:11
It just said. What did it say?
36:13
Just really underwhelming. Like Google it.
36:15
It's just like a picture of Peps saying great ten years or
36:18
something like you see it. Yeah, I'm looking at you now.
36:23
Yeah, just just how rubbish is that as a goodbye?
36:28
Like like how good Casimiro's one was.
36:33
I think you could have one like he's won all these trophies with
36:35
them, like Champions League and stuff like make it a bit more
36:38
emotive. But it was just him like kind of
36:40
a little some writing next to it.
36:42
And so I guess it's just really underwhelming kind of sender.
36:45
They're just a bit of rubbish, aren't they?
36:47
Just in terms, yeah, yeah. It's hard to do the pause down
36:52
when you're standing on your own and they just never have what we
36:55
well, we are basically. And I love it.
36:57
And even in these moments, yeah, I will say respect to Pep.
37:00
Obviously a ridiculous job that you've done, ridiculous manager,
37:03
very happy for him to go. But yeah, they're just not good
37:06
at this kind of stuff because they're just not used to it.
37:09
But yeah, good, good point. I'd missed that, I'd missed
37:12
that. But yeah, what do you think for
37:14
city now? We mentioned it briefly last
37:16
time and again, our city mate ran away when he should have
37:19
been on the pod, so maybe we'll get him back.
37:21
But yeah, what you thinking? They still got very good players
37:30
and a good squad and a lot of money and the rescue is he's
37:35
obviously not Pat. So I think there'll still be
37:37
probably title challenges next year.
37:40
Yeah, it's more like long term thinking, like if they don't win
37:44
the league this next season, that'll be 3 years without
37:47
winning a title. So they don't win the Champions
37:49
League, you'll get prime Champions League.
37:50
Like are they then getting the players or do you have to start
37:56
paying big money again to get the players?
37:58
Because they haven't got the Pep draw, which is obviously a
38:00
massive draw. So yeah, I could see a bit of a
38:02
slump. So hopefully we do see that.
38:06
I'm really hoping this is a little window for us to as like
38:09
some of these players were talking about before it might
38:12
have gone back. Yeah, I'm there.
38:13
And actually, you know, we keep mentioning it, but Elliot
38:16
Anderson, are those type players think are they going to enter
38:20
into a kind of a bit of a Man United post Fergie instability?
38:24
And instead I'll go to United, who have a bit, you know, a lot
38:27
more stability and a minute finally.
38:29
Momentum. Yeah, exactly.
38:31
So surely we're a bit more of an attractive, that's more of a an
38:35
easier comparison now than it's been in the past.
38:37
As much as we, you know, we want players to come based on our
38:40
history. Like now, actually, if you look
38:42
at the current day, there's actually really compelling
38:45
reasons to choose us. And look at some of the players
38:48
who have chosen, as, you know, going into the Champions League,
38:50
Bruno setting records. So, yeah, it's giving me more
38:54
belief. But we'll see.
38:55
You'll see in the window. Yeah.
38:58
But let's look forward. Let's look forward actually, and
39:00
let's let's tease a little bit of that.
39:02
So season's over. But this ain't over.
39:05
We we're going to keep coming. We're going to keep coming with
39:08
some United stuff, transfer stuff, looking at the summer,
39:11
but also a massive, massive World Cup.
39:13
Yeah. And as I said, in terms of
39:16
transfer window, we mentioned a couple of bits in terms of
39:18
Elliot understand and some others.
39:20
Let's not give the full part away, Jazz.
39:22
But in terms of little tidbits from you, I think you mentioned
39:26
there was some kind of maybe breaking news as well.
39:29
Yeah, some news just before we started, which is apparently
39:32
that the personal terms have been agreed with Edison at
39:36
Atlanta. So like, I don't want him to be
39:41
the Marquis midfield signing. Yeah, but I think he's a he's a,
39:44
he's a good player from everything I've kind of seen and
39:47
heard. But yeah, he can't be the
39:49
marquee. He can be the like good, solid,
39:53
kind of really makes the squad much better.
39:57
Kind of thinking like a bit like what Arsenal have done.
39:59
They have built a big a big squad of good players, which we
40:03
need to do. And you need to sprinkle on the
40:04
the excellent players which we've got.
40:06
I think we've got quite a lot of those already.
40:07
So we still do need that marquee midfielder though, next to
40:12
hobby, which hopefully is. Yeah, well, I've done that bad
40:18
thing of YouTube in Edison and now I'm ready to kind of spend
40:21
200 million on him. But we've.
40:23
OK, Yeah, we've made that mistake with far too many blades
40:26
in the past. I'm looking at you I.
40:27
Did you got it? Yeah.
40:29
Did you? He's so good.
40:32
He just tackles. Everyone in clips apparently,
40:36
yeah, two or three and 90 minutes and then you you put
40:39
them all together and he looks like a worldy.
40:41
But no, I'll be excited to excited to get into that with
40:43
you, Jazz. Obviously we'll keep things
40:45
updated on the channels as well, so let's look into that.
40:49
And in the World Cup, massive for us both, extra massive for
40:53
you, Jazz. Obviously with Scotland being
40:54
there, you still think you're going to win it.
40:57
I think we got a good chance, yeah.
41:00
Yeah, I don't even know if he's joking anymore.
41:02
Genuinely. It's, it's us, our friends.
41:05
No, no, like real realistically, like the last time we were
41:10
there. I remember it as a, as a kid, I
41:12
what, it was 88, like 13, whereas 11, sorry.
41:18
And I remember it and I remember watching Let's Play Brazil and I
41:23
remember watching us. I remember Morocco knocking us
41:27
out, so I just really would love us to get out of the group.
41:30
Basically, we would be great and to get into a kind of one of the
41:34
so big this World Cup. It's not quarter finals, it's
41:37
round of 32 or something, I'm not sure.
41:40
But I think we've also with it, there's lots of opportunities
41:43
like to be like worse 3rd place team and all that kind of thing.
41:47
So yeah, yeah, it would be great if we could get get through and
41:50
I think Scott Shaw's kind of on the up.
41:54
It was a really exciting season this year.
41:56
Obviously Hearts kind of pushed Celtic all the way and we've got
42:01
quite a lot of players abroad doing well as well.
42:04
So yeah, it'd be nice to get nice together, nice to get out
42:07
of the group. I can see a building that's.
42:10
That's my realistic yeah prediction.
42:14
Yeah, you've got some players coming in, you know, full of
42:16
confidence, John McGinn carrying the flag as well.
42:19
So I'm looking forward to it. It gives us a bit of an extra,
42:23
extra dynamic. I got into my first sweepstake
42:25
this week and I drew Argentina, which oh.
42:29
Nice. Yeah, I mean, I hope I don't
42:31
win, but it's not. It's not a bad sweepstake drawer
42:34
as a backup, is it? Where do you think England come
42:37
in? You'll get out the Grove.
42:41
I'm so it's so difficult as an England fan because obviously
42:44
it's impossible to say we're going to win it because I've got
42:47
nothing to base it on. And every time we think, Oh
42:50
yeah, this is the strongest we've ever been.
42:51
I'm actually going into this now a little bit nervous and
42:53
confused because you've had a good campaign with two call, but
42:55
then he's made some really strange decisions.
42:57
So I honestly don't know. I kind of want to just see the
43:00
first game, let things settle. All right, we're going to win
43:03
it. We're going to win.
43:03
It's coming home. That's what you want in it,
43:05
Jazz. That's what you wanted.
43:10
Obviously. Obviously Germany was incredible
43:11
and we got to the final and we keep getting close, but
43:16
conditions are going to be tough as well.
43:17
So I don't know. I don't.
43:19
Know. I'd love us to, but stay with
43:22
the. Other most informed striker
43:23
right in the world. I think he scored 66.
43:27
I looked at it 61 in 51 games this season for Bayern, which is
43:32
insane. So and I think last time he was
43:35
coming to tour me, he was was he injured or was it the time for
43:38
one once? Like, so you got a fully fit,
43:40
fully firing Harry Kane, which is, yeah, like there's a few
43:45
world class players in the England team and he's definitely
43:48
kind of leader of them. Yeah, and to be honest, like
43:51
what I'm hopeful about is that Suka loves him as well.
43:54
And I think the smart way to do things is to try and play a bit
43:56
by in and play for him 'cause look at what he's granted.
43:59
Obviously, with no disrespect to the Bundesliga, he's probably
44:03
played some games that have been a bit easier than the World Cup
44:05
will be, but there's going to be some easier hits at the World
44:07
Cup. So I just want us to play the
44:10
best possible way for getting the best Hurricane.
44:12
Because if we do that, you just, you could do anything.
44:15
You've seen some of the goals this season out of nowhere and
44:18
we need a bit more of that from him because if he can have a
44:20
tournament and we've got a real chance.
44:23
But yeah, yeah, get me excited. No chance, but more on that to
44:26
come. But let's let's close off the
44:27
season with Michael Carrick at the wheel.
44:30
Very happy, very glad that we started doing this when Carrick
44:34
joined. I hope we can take this forward
44:35
into next season and again with Carrick hopefully lifting a
44:39
trophy. But yeah, stick with us.
44:42
Get subscribed, get following in the comments.
44:45
Let us know what are your highlights been of the season.
44:47
What do you think about Carrick? Can we win the title next year?
44:50
Let us know and are you looking forward to the World Cup?
