• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I mean it's thirteen fifteen and that and that's like officially.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no that yeah, okay, yeah, because Youve's got
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: thirty six to anyone, Milan nineteen, and then it goes
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: for Genua with nine. I'm trying to go mentally here
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: general nine, Provicelli with seven.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, probably right, actually, Michelle.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: With seven, Monopoly with four, but Roma with two, Lazio
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: with two, uh, Fiorentina but one, I believe. Yeah, Tonno's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: got what nine as well?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Eight or nine? Torino's got a good amount to no no, yeah, mentally.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: By the way, Tonino's got seven, so Propricelli has how much?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Let me look? Let me yeah, sorry, I'm out.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: This was all for the listeners. This was all mentioned
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: like what an intro.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Jenny knows this stuff is also ten, so you got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: three teams and seven.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Is my lucky number.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, you know what, Napoli couldn't get the fifth
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: one this year. It's unfortunate, but I mean with the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: way they're playing, in the injuries, and the writing was
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: on the wall that they weren't defending the school this year.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But hey, at least it's not a repeat of their
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: school dental defense a few years back, you know, where
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: they're basically in the bottom ten of the sorry tenth
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: tenth place.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: In the league, you know, like with three coaching changes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will accept a second in place finish as
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: we go humbly off into the sunset, you know. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I'm out worried for the future because I have full
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: faith and Dilo Orentis and trying to make this team
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: super competitive again and obviously he will, and if Conte
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: decides to stay, obviously it's gonna be all good things.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, And you know what, it is interesting
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for the city because it's six seasons now that we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: don't have a repeat champion. Basically since the twenty twenty
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one season, it's it's been alternating, I think it was
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it was it was Inter Yeah, Inter Milan, Napoli, INTERNAPOLYI
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Inter sorry, Internapoli Inter yeah whatever, Internapoli have been alternating
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in the past few years. So yeah, we haven't had
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: back to back champions since since you'veent this won nine
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in a row, so in a way that I guess
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you could say good for the city, I like people
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like to say, but you know, this was easily the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: look intercompletely deserved to win this this year, no doubt,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the top team in the city. Uh and let's be real,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: kind of proved some critics wrong, right because coming into
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the season there was a lot of question marks uh
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Kivu coming in as coach, and they just continued. They
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: just continued. I wouldn't say they continue what they did
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: last season because obviously they didn't win that though, but
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: let's say it's continuation from the twenty twenty four season
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and everything went right for them. A lot of great players,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of goal scorers. Look Tower of twenty goals,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Tom Quiet season at thirteen goals, still most, more goals
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: than most other strikers on other top teams as well. DeMarco.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't have the stats, but I don't know how
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: many sissy he had this seventeen assists.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And there's still games to go, right, insane. It's the most.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It's the most in the season he passed as uh
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Okay sixteen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So okay, there you go, just so there you go.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's you know, it was.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of great individual efforts, but a team
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: effort as well, so for sure they deserved it. And yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it almost feels like after them losing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in the Champions League final last year, they're they're almost
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: hungry right to get that back. And and even now
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they're they're still gonna be in the coup It Tally
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: next week, so they have a chance to make it
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a domestic double, something they failed to do last season.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So they give into the season hungry, and they kept
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that hunger all year.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, listen, it always pains us to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: say because it's a rival, right, but when when when
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the fox of the fox, you kind of have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: raise your hand and say, you know what, this is
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: what it is. So you know, kudos and credit to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to Inter, to our inter friends out there, our followers,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: our listeners or our friends. You know, it's it's a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: shoto to you, because you know what, certain things prove
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: me wrong. I think there's still things I'm not a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: fan of, but again I'm a inter fan, so I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: guess I have the right to say that, but just
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: on to bounce off to your off your point, Nick,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know the players stepping up this season, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: they had players in pretty much every category in terms
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of if it be goal scoring, if we assists, even
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: clean sheets, that they had their players in the top
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of those of those categories. Right if you you name
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: obviously the goal scorers of Lataro and uh and Turam.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You know, with de Modco having the most assists currently,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's it should be at seventeen if if
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the scorer is updated score up. But it's at least
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: seventeen and there's three games to go if he plays,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: who knows, But still you have the most assist in
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a SETI a season passing like I said, Paz.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Eighteen according to transfer market, by the.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Way, eighteen. Okay, so you know whatever it is, he
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: passed that record and it's almost twenty assists, Like it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that's just like almost unheard of, it seems like for
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a left wing back, by the way, right, So we
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: can we can knock them, we can say what we want.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe after finally shaved his head, maybe I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: finally it finally worked. I don't know, something was clicking
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with that left foot of his, I guess, but you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: besides that, I guess, you know the goalie right summer,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he's up there, and you know, I think the top
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: three in terms of clean sheets as well. So not
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: only is it not only are there there, they're players
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: stepping up, but they're they're they're producing and all on
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: all cylinders. They're they're they're big players are stepping up.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And that intercore that maybe some of us thought was
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: probably you know, dwindling out for right now, it's still there.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Right we say the Taro's, we say the the two Rams,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the Demarcos, right the Bustony soer like those chi even
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: if you want to name him as well, Like these
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: players are still relevant enough to take this team obviously
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to another school ghetto. And I don't know if it's
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: because I still not sure how I know. It's been
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I guess calendar year or sorry I said season with
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Kivu and all. This will probably be a talking point,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: but I still don't really know how I feel about him,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: because like, I really don't think he moves the needle,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: if I'm honest. But at the same time, him and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: his players were able to to go all the way
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and and and and win a scudetto. So is it
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: him his impact as as as a manager or is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it the players carrying him to to the promise one.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That could be up for debate either way.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: They did it, they won, so you know it's I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: guess aid kudos to them, but I still have some
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: question marks, like I don't know, like we'll see. I guess,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: like only time will tell. Maybe in defense can can
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: say otherwise and that's and that's fine, but I don't know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Like Kivu for me, still doesn't really move the needle.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: But if he continues like this, you know, you can't
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: really say too much right like he's a winner now
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and we'll see if you know, they make a domestic
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: double like you said, nick Uh facing lots so in
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the Coopetalia final on the thirteenth, So it's it's, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: as much as we wanted to bash them, there's not
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: really much to bash, right, Like this is what it is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So we've said it many times on the show, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: we sounded like broken records all throughout the year. But
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you know, the best team in Sadiyah into best team
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in Sadiya into best team in Sadia I was into,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: so it was like it was almost written in the stars.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's a shame on the competing teams in my opinion.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I look at the Milans, uh, you know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I I look a bit at the Napolie. I look
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: at the UV's, I look at you know, these other teams,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the Romas. If you will, uh to not maybe not
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to take this season, uh, I'll speak more about me
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: on because for me, it's a shame and the way
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they the way they kind of let this scudetto through
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: their through their fingers, because I think they had a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: real fight and a chance, you know, a handful of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: months ago, and you know they they blew it on
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: their own. So you know, it's a shame on them.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But besides that, again we have to put our hands up,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: like I said, and uh and and say, you know
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: what the intern of the champions twenty first time in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: their in their history and you know, shut out to them.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna reel back to a conversation we have with
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: John Monco when we had him on. Yeah, a few
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: months ago actually was it already Jesus, Yeah, it was
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: like a couple of months ago about discussion. How you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: like inter has got a fantastic core in terms of
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: like city gameplay. But yeah, obviously the Scudetto is always
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a goal for every team. But after making the finals
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: twice in the past four years and not making it
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: this year, that's why always thin because they're nominated right
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: state the obvious champions for Champions League. You have to
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: say that like for them, like the goal is Champions League.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Scudetto is not the primary target.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It's a target nonetheless, but I feel like for this team,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: right you want the Champions League again. This you know that,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: it's like this core is definitely capable of whenning New City,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: but Candice Corps also win you Champions League and I think,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's where is gonna have to go from
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: here and start looking at that and it's like do
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: we move on for certain players like we discussed switch on.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Monco, do we keep the same guys?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Like what do we do from here? And I think
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that's what.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That's the project that Kivu has in his hand right now,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: because it's a tough challenge, especially for a newer coach,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: right it's uh a tough challenge to do. So I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be looking forward to what they're gonna do with that,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: because that's because if I'm if I'm an indista, like
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: that's that's something that I'm like, Okay, well it's nice,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: we got we got to school that though, but.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I want champions especially.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: After getting embarrassed five zero. It's like you like you
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: should have that hunger, you know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, like you should have that like
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: that hunger to get back into finals and be like,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: let's just era staff from memory, you know, like what
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: like what Milan did after after the five they went
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: back in O seven, they won.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: They just they destroyed I want to say, destroy Liverpool,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: but they got the revenge.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, like.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Like it's it's it's.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It's easier said than done. Because we had the same
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: conversation when we were talking about Juve, right Nick, all
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: these years.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was about to say it. Yeah,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it sounds like a repetition of ten years ago. Yeah
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we're saying the same thing, right, Yeah, it's Look, the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Champions League is so hard to win. Look at the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: teams in the Champions League. Look, I don't know if
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you guys watched the PSG Byron game, was it five
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: four six.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Five by yeah? Five four yeah?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: After after the first league obviously the Arsenal Athletic Athletical
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: game was very different one to one. But like, I'm sorry,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: but there's no Italian team is in the same stratosphere
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: right now as PSG and Byron Athletical and Arsenal. You know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a bit more open. I know Arsenal is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: having a great season right now, and I forget what
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the situation is in the prim if they're gonna, if
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they're close walking up to the title or whatnot. But
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: it's so the way European football is right now is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: just it's so tough. Obviously for Inter, yes, you want
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that as your goal, but like with Juve, if that's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the only thing they focus on, they're gonna go crazy
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and then they're gonna they're gonna hurt themselves for the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: next ten years, like Uve is in right now. Look,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Juve was so obsessed with the Champions League that they
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: went out and gave Ronaldo a thirty million dollar contract,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: completely hampering the team's future financials not winning the Champions League,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and now we're stuck in this position, what eight years later,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: after years after signing Ronaldo that we're still recovering, we're
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: still rebuilding. Uh So I know everything comes in cycles,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: right And I know right now we're talking about Interro.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk too much about u Van.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: That's a whole other story.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: No, but it's a fair comparison, right, It's it's a.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Fair we're singing the same tune, yeah ten years ago,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: not even.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: No, exactly exactly. So there's there's only so much like
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for me, I like looking back on Juve and everything.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You just need to just continue winning and focus first
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: obviously on your own league, and then you go to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the Champions and you focus on the Champions League, if
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. You can't just focus on Champions League.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: You need to win every year.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You need to win the copetally every year. With that
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: success comes better team building, better players that are gonna
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: come in more money, this and that, and then once
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, once you reach all those levels Champions League,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you're not look at inter last year, they they they
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: failed in the city, they failed in the Copali, all
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that to lose five nothing in the Champions League, right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So it's about prior priority. If one team wants to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: go out and say, you know, we're only going to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: focus on the Champions League, good luck to them.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's tough. I think there's a point to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: be made either way. To Johnny's point and even to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: what we're saying to a nick, I mean there's a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: point either way, you know, not to like I said,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: not to compare to you of it, but I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: there are comparisons to be made there. But you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: at the same time, like again, I'm not into vista.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Am I satisfied as an inter fan winning a Scudetto
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and potentially winning a Cope Italian and making it a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: double this season? I don't know, Like yes, a part
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of me would say yes, but then another part of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: me would steer towards what Johnny saying and be like, well,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you know that's nice, and you know obviously it's a goal,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: but you know we want bigger prize, so listen. I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: think that you have to build towards it. It's not
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: just gonna happen. Uh, you know, they I think I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: don't want to say they were lucky to be in
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: two finals in in In was it three four years whatever?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Like that's that's a big word luck. But you know
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they they managed to get there one of them, you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: it was it was for them to take and you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: they got one shot that went in and and that
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: was it. The other one they got embarrassed. So you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the third time to charm, what's gonna happen? Like, we
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I think it's it's very tough, uh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to to to put all your eggs in the Champions
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: League basket, especially especially for a core that again like
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: or how much longer are we going to see this core?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: To your point, Johnny, and to what we spoke about
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: with John Marco, you know, a month or so ago
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: whatever it was like this core, if these crazy offers
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: now start coming in, when do you start accepting them?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: When do you start breaking this up and kind of
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: restarting the cycle? Like these are questions I don't really
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: have answers to. But at the same time, if I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: on that side and I get a I don't know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever the number you wanted to be seventy
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: million for for DeMarco offer, do you take it? Like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: for me, like there's a good portion in my head
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that says yes, so uh, you know, even for for Bustoni,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: or for Cello Nogu or for about Adela, like whoever
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you want to put La Taro. I think, in my opinion,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I think Lattaro's they're there, there there. I don't I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to. I don't know how to say it, like,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they're the player that I think they should hold on to.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: But again, if a crazy offer comes in for him,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: if it be a nationnomical astronomical number, you might have
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to take that, you know, just to be able to
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: rebuild in a proper manner. So, but he's valuable because
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: we saw the inter without him when he was injured,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the same in there. We saw him back
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: with the club and playing and being the captain of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the team. Love him or hate him, you can, we can.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: We don't have to like him as a player. But
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: when he was on for Inter, inter was rolling on
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: all cylinders. When he wasn't there, it was a different Inter.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So there's you have to you have to weigh, you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: the pros and cons of how to approach the next
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: step for Inter. Because we've seen this, we've seen the double,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: we've seen the school that to winning we've seen trophies
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: being won over this this span of time. The one
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that's missing, to Johnny's point to the Westerners out there,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: is obviously the Champions League, but I think you still
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: have to build to that. It's it's I think just
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Italian football is so far behind that. I don't know
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: if I don't know like when we're gonna see another
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Italian champion Champions League winner, I honestly don't, like, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: don't have a in my head. I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: by twenty thirty two, we're gonna have a champion, Like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know it could I hope. I hope it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: in within the next you know, five to something years.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: But you know, with the way things are going like
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't I'm not confident in saying that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But again to both your points there,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: there's there's points to be made either way in my opinion.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: In terms of inter Do you guys have an MVP
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: from them? I'm you know, look, I'll start, I'm gonna
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: go out and say it. De Marco I think, you know, yes,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: lark Tara has twenty goals, but Eateen assists is it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: insane for for a wing back to get that, and guys,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: we know that soccer is also a bit strict on
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the assist. It's not like hockey where you could you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: could feed, you could drop a pass back. Guy waits
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: behind the net, he rests up.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: On his own score. Second assist merchants, second assist, merchant,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you're on the.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Bench, you get the assist. No, guys like, these are crosses,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: these are direct passes. Yeah, that's insane. Eighteen assists giving
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: my flowers to DeMarco. I just want to see that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to Marco with with Italy because we haven't seen that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a system's issue. We could
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: have a whole other episode on that. But yeah, for me,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: MVP for the season for Intern probably the whole city. Yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it has to be Federico DeMarco, John Yo.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: If I'm waiting for my dog to stop barking in
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: the back so.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I'll go then No, I kind of already said it,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But like for me, it's it has to be like
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: for everything that I just named, and like just the
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: fact that you know he's their captain, he steps up,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: he's not. I think sometimes there's moments where he kind
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of fades off. But I feel like a lot of forwards,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of strikers do, uh, you know, over time,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: but especially this season, like whatever, the sixteen twenty goals,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, they're like, it's just you know, not what,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Like there's not many teams that have these these these
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: double these double digits goal scorers in our league. Like
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: it's you know, the top two is is is the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: front two of inter Like you know, it's who who's
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: after that? Like I forget who it is now? But
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: again it's ten goals, nine goals, eleven goals, maybe thirteen
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: at the max. But it's like then you have that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: little bit of a separation, like I don't know, man
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Like for me, he's he's been their most important player.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: As an outsider looking in, I would say like I
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: like I would to earlier when he was on the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: team was on. When he was off, the team was
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a different different in the So not only did his
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: goal scoring contribute uh to their to their six sess,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: but I think his president on the presidence on the pitch,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: his leadership, you know, his his ability to to to
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to build up with to play and and get open
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and then if it be a goal, be an assist. Uh,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I think he's just he's you know, he's
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: he was top at least this season. There's been seasons
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: where he's kind of gone missing, but I think this
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: season he he woke up, especially after the last last
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: season or so with with not with a little bit
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: of that Knopoi dominance, that he kind of faded off
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: a bit and at times and you know, he would
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: score against you know whatever, the I love all of it, right,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: So he would score against the small teams, but then
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: wouldn't show up, you know, in the bigger games. But listen,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: they they were a good unit. They they didn't have
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: maybe all some of the best matchups against you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the top teams, but they were able to do it
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: against everybody else. So and a big part of that
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: is because a lot of two Martinez in my opinion,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: So for me, I would choose him as as Inter's
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: MVP has a rival. Finally, her pains me to say
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: all this, but you know, again, the fox of the Fox.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he's the captain. He put up the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: most goals. His presence on the pitch alone, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: spoke for itself. In my opinion. So, yeah, I would
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: choose h. I would choose Lataro. I know it's an
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: easy pick, but I would choose him.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, and I would choose the man.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I think obviously it's like we're all going with three
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: different things so as well, and you obviously need strong
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: goaltending to you know, not only be a winner because
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you can have all this offense and all this dominance,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: but if you don't have anybody back there preventing the
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: balls were going in, you have to score more than
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: your to out score your opponent.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: And you know he doesn't have the most clean sheets
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: in city.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Ah, it's stop three. He stopped three. Yeah, yeah, Coleman
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: is sixteen and then and fifteen.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: So it's still it still deserves to be mentioned. So
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, Uh, the MVP for Enter this year
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: to help them out was yeah, and so Mad. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people are gonna be like mad
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: because he's got more.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: But it is what the ball is wrong, my friend,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: The ball is round.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: What it is bro some of her hand. Danovich is
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: not gonna walk through those doors, you know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So you can uh, you're gonna he's done it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: He did, He did what he had to do help
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: them win those key games and basically be one of
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the better goalies for City out this year.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: And last of guys, I just want to have a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: quick look back at our predictions. Look, we're not gonna
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: go through the top four because that's not done yet. Look,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I predicted Melanin Janny it was Napoli and then each Rano.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I think he went for the Homer pick with also Melan.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: In terms of inter here, I'm just gonna have them.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I had them third, Janny had them uh sorry second,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and then you had them third. So you know, fuck
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: we expected uh, you know, something similar. I know they
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: they've finished second was the last year, so most of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: us expected something similar again this year. None of us
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: predicted them to win the school. So I feel like
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the years that I always predict in win the Scudetto,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: they always they always don't win it. And then when
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I don't predict them, they win it. But that's how
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it goes hard to predict, right, So none of us
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: predicted Enter as Schodetto champions. So I'm just gonna put
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: that out there at sorry.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Just into the universal. All the interc are gonna be like, ah,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: these guys they don't pick into blah blah blah blah whatever.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: But staid I think there there was there was reasons
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: behind it. I think I don't know, like I can
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: speak for myself and I know the guys as well,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: but you know, I I again this this for me,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: had to be had to bil Melans to win, like
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you know, in terms of what what the situation was
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: they brought in as a manager and what their their
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: their schedule was going to look like. I honestly thought
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: they were going to you know, carbon copy what not
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: we did, you know, the previous year. And like I
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: said earlier and again I still not sure how I
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: feel about him, but the Kivu effect, right, he proved
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: me wrong in the sense that he went out and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: they wont to Scudet though, but at the begining of
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the season, again for myself, I wasn't sure what to
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: expect from from a young coach like him. So you know,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: kudos again to what he did. But that's what I
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: would say why I think I probably had them in
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: that third slot. That's that's what I would say. I
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: don't know about you guys, if if it was a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: really reason, but.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it was just the coaching change and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the fact how they tailed off at the end of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: last season, either tailing off and with the coaching change,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they didn't look good at the Club World Cup. It
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: just it didn't feel right. And then, uh, look, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I prettict the Meline because of the coach, straight up
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: predicted internet, and I'll win this because of the coach.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And then I predicted you wanted to win this. I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: don't know about Jenny. Uh, if you remember why you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: chose you didn't choose Intertwins.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I just felt confident in the fact that you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: you got Katie b coming in. Uh, it's the second.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Season with mcfatima, you know, like continuous.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Form like and that contest stayed and there was less
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: of a circus.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Going on behind the scenes for anopoly, So I figured,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: you know, like, especially with the whole Loucacu injury just
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: obviously ruined the situation and stuff. But but like with
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the additions that they did, I'm like, this is definitely
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: like a good sign for them to make a push
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: for a repeat scudetto Like, it's like the Lorents, you know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: planned for it, and you wanted to give this team
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: a bit of a competitive push and said, yeah, so
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: that was my reasoning with napoly Yes, it's a bit
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: of a bias pic. People are going to say, which
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: you know, it's fair, it's one of my teams. But
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: there was, it's it's there. There was good reasoning behind it,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and I put intersecond wasn't as if I didn't think
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Enter was gonna be far behind. I'm like, yeah, I
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: figured it was a neck and neck between them. I
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: just thought Napolete was gonna have the advantage. And it
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: turns other Inter at Devantage.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. That's how it goes. So guys, Yeah,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: so top four still a lot to be decided there,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: especially between our teams. It's basically the four of our
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: teams are battling for the remaining three spots. Romo's me
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: can't climb Melan, You've either were kind of dropping right.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You have a frustrating draw at home against a relegation team,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a team that's going to city at be you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a game. I didn't watch it, watch it all, wasn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: able to watch it all. But what I watched is
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: just another boring game, another not much happening for Melan.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Look this is a solo team. It's thrown in the side.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: We know that first handing drownd right, having seen them
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen to the Sancio. You know bir
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: already throwing it back with with with a goal in
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this to nothing win for so Solo. But you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: before we talk about that stuff, guys, the zero zero
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it's a pandemic this season in the city. I think
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it's thirty three zero zero games. I think there was
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: three three this past weekend.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Sorry, would you say no, I just jesus, I think
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: it was like, that's a lot.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the second the second most in the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: European leagues was eighteen f which league had that? But
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: thirty three that's almost that's about one zero zero drop
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: per week. Obviously, some some weeks have more like this
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: week three of them. It's it's it's tough to say
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: because look, Italian soccer is known for the defensive masterclass.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you're a fan trying
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to watch this league, you don't want to be turning
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: into zero zero games. You want to you want to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: be turning tuning into four nothing games like Roma today, right, Johnny, But.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Man, Genie getting me my fanta cultro win let's go.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, jeez, I don't know if we need to. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if we need to be starting games one
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to one just so they don't finish.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Zero zero literally yeah Jesus Christ, but just yeah, to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: talk about that, I don't know, man, Like I don't
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: know what you guys think. But like it's pardon me again,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: it's not surprised, to be honest, because like for how
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: long we've been watching this damn week, like you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: these something of these things that we say. As much
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: as it surprises us in the same breath, it doesn't
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: always in my head. So I do find it is
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: a bit crazy because like nil nil and then some
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: of the matchups that are that that are becoming nil nil,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: like some of the teams that are nill no. Like
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: you know, we we were at you know, to chaos,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: right Nick, what two weekends ago now and for me
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: on Juve and and uh and we go there and
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: we there it's a nil nil. So like even the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: quality of teams that are producing this the these score lines,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: you know, so Atalanta the other day, the week two
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: or this week or last week whatever it was, nil
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: nil against General or whatever like like, I don't know, man,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: it's like the it can be like that, we're that
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: were this man, uh this many draws, not only draws,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: but just nil nil that that score line. So but
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: again in the same breath, like I said earlier, like
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not super surprised what can change with that. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: don't know if that will ever change, to be honest
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: with you, just knowing how our league operates. It's it's
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: a cultural thing, like I don't I don't think it's
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: it's something that will really change in terms of how
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: things go in this league. But it would be nice
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: to see a bit more goal scoring. But I feel
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: there's also a beauty in those draws or those tight matchups.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: But let's make it at least one to one, not
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a nil mill like, it would be just a bit nicer.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: At least we can see a goal, celebrate a goal. Okay,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: you know what we got. We got we gotta goal
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: score on against US. Okay, fine, but it was a great,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: you know, great back and forth. That would be nicer.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: But you know, the nil nil at this point, with
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: everything that's gone on in Sadia in Italian Italian football,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Italian culture. I'm not too surprised, Johnny Oo.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised either, because like this is what saia is. Uh,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: It's always been strong managers basically uh contending against each other,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: you know, like they're competing like there. It's it's everyone's
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: got great knowledge and even even in the lowest tier,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: even the lowest tier team's got a manager who knows
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: how to counter one of the top flight teams. It's
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that's it is, and that's the beauty of ceitiads. You're
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: not gonna have uh people overthinking how to set your formation.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you're not looking at these dynamic or hybrid
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: type of formations. It's very simplistic. It's very purposeful, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the players have adapted these formations and strategies to a
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: tea and you know what defense when championships in my eyes,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: so for me, I mean in all sports usually is
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: so for me.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: That's that's what I equated to.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I equated to the fact that these managers are just
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: known to like how to put on defensive master classes,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: how to give every team, no matter which team are manage,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: a chance to win versus.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: The giants of saidiya. So to see a zero zero
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: score line. Yeah, it's not far fetch to say.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: It's like it's just both teams just couldn't score, or
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: like there wasn't much offense going on. But it's also
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: like both managers, you know, not giving another manager an
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: opportunity to break through whatever defenses they have set up.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: You know, get yourself games where it's like like you
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: get yourself a Lecha versus Melan game where Basquiolto gets
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: a goal and you get heroes like that. You know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: like you get a set plate that Lech is able
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: to get a win or Coma basically been in the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: top four. It's fever Gas just being a smart manager
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: with the club. Obviously Nico pass is on fire and stuff,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: but it's it's not just him, Like you obviously need
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: to have a good manager to tell you what to
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: do and stuff so and how to utilize your players.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: That's that's why like situations like this doesn't surprise me.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I don't hate it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: I'll be real, I personally don't hate it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: It's annoying, yes, especially when your team's trying to make
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: a school that' and you're like okay, like guys, come on,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: where's the fire and stuff. But like Mukaku said it
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: best when he came to Seiya for the first time.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: He's like, it's like, do you know how hard it
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: is to score in Citia, Like it is mental like
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: he he was an interview. It's like he was like,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: there's there's years where you got guys like Emobile just
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: breaking the system, scoring thirty six plus, right, but like,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: but those type of seasons aren't always there, Like I
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: don't know how blessed we were during the Saudi years
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: where he just had guys like merchants just on fire,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: like Hei Guayin just like being able to put the
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: ball in the net lights.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: It was nothing or even the earlier days, right, like
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: we had so many more like goal scorers like I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: found the old Ceti I would say, like the Meekles,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the Dila tali Is, the Guardinos, like the Tonys, Like
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: these guys were scoring, you know, fifteen twenty goals plus
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: all of them. So and it was the I would say,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: probably even a more of a defensive league back back
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: in those days. So it just goes to show you, right,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: But again I think there it's a mystique I think
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: with with the city. I like if you're if you're
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: looking for for you know, nine to six hockey games
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: or you know four four. Uh, you know, cultural games.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Setia is not for you. Stick to stick to the
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: prem stick to maybe even La Liga. But if you
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: want a good defensive battle, a good a good hard nose,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: you know, cultural match. I think the city As is
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: the league league for you.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good point. And if you
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: want your to see your team comfort comfortably in the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: top four of the city I might be might not
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: be the lead for you either. So yeah, let's let's
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: get back to that. Look Roma there, they're the hottest
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of the bunch. I think they've won through the last
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: four games. Uh, you've a I think it's what two
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: draws in a row. I have to pull up for Melan.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But you know right now, I think.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: One in three one one and three one win, one
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: one draw, three losses.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: There you go, So Melon slipping U. It's like, who
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: really wants to play in the Champions League next year?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: He got me a Napoli at seventy, Melan at sixty seven,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Juve at sixty five, Rome at sixty forty. Look, I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: gotta admits as a Juve fan. I was, you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I've been watching, you know, following more Como's games to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: make sure they're they're not getting points because you know,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: then they've dropped again this past weekend. I was happy,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: and then you know, I forgot about Roma. Roma's catching up.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Look between Napoly, Milan and Juve, they all control their
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: own destiny.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Still.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: For Roma to finish top four, they're gonna need one
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: of those teams to slip up, obviously preferably Melan or
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: or Juve because of the closest uh. But it's not
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: like most of these teams are playing the toughest opponents.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Napoli is Bologna, Pisa, Udinese, Melon plays against Atalanta. That's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: probably the toughest of the bunch.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: General acality, Juve lech Fiondentina, Torino and Roma Parma Lazzo
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: in the derby and Verona. So between Juve and and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Romo each have the Derby's that's definitely a challenge. But look,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: any of these games trap games. Understand Look at you've
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: right with Verona. You could even say, uh, Milan was
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the Solo right, Yes, Sir, Solo is having a good season.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: They're in there in tenth place. Great season for a
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: team that just got promoted. But this should have been
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a win for Melan, right, if they want to finish
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: top four, this should have been a win. You have
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: no doubt this should have been a win against Rona.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: So I want to see them go out get that
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: win against seventeenth place. Then they had they played fifteenth
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: place Quarantina and then thirteenth place to Reno. So these
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: need to be nine points for you.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Eight.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: If they don't make Champions League next year, we know
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it's their own doing. Uh, but for Roma. Look, Jenny,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: if if they don't finish top four, I don't think
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: you can be disappointed, and you're you're probably happy with
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the way they have been pushing these last few weeks, right,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: especially with a four nothing win today against Farentina.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, yes, obviously I'm happy that they would get
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: to win, but I'm just tired of the of them
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: not finishing in the top four.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's yeah, I'm not gonna.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna you know, like he's gonna cry over it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: But it's frustrating, yeah, because it's like how many what
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: is it gonna take?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: At some point? You know, was it since twenty eighteen.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: We always bring it up since.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Tween, right, yeah, you know, and part of me is like, Okay,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: if they don't make top four this year, depending on
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: who they keep or who leaves, maybe you can think
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: But I'm confident going.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Into next season that they will finish top four. I mean, like,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Danielle Mallin has just been lights out for for Roma
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: ever since he's joined the club. He's got like, what
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: was it, like some almost eight goals?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I think it is, No, I think he has he
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: has double digits.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: He has like eleven.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I think he's eleven twelve. Yeah, some of that today
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't see. I know he didn't.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: He got an assist.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: You gotta assist. But I think he's up to like
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: eleven twelve goals this season in six months, guys, Like,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: it's just every time we say this, like it just
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: blows my mind. Six months of dining. What's gonna happen
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: next year? In a full city last season, Yeah, he's
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: gonna get like thirty goals. Like I don't, I don't know, man,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Like it's crazy.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, He's got eleven goals in fourteen games
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: for Roma.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: It's insane.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's nice, it's beautiful, and it makes you it
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: kind of irritates you because it's like what if Gasparini
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: had this man from the start, and like every team
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Gasparin has always had that one player that he's ever
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: like that, like even like when he didn't have.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: You know, like it's it's swapped over to the next person.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: In mine, it's always Atlantic has always been the next.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Man up type of video, right, is like yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Manoski afterwards, Yeah, yeah, that's that, Like that's the thing
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: like before he joined roll with the Katalia last.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Year, you know, like yeah, he was had a good
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: year under him too. Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: So uh, I think Danielle Mallen needs to be somebody
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: that they really need to really consider keeping because if
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: they don't make Top four this year, even though I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: know they are one point behind, youve you know, there's
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: only three games left in the Sorry, yeah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: They played thirty five.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Three games, you don't make top four, It's like this
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: is the closest you've ever gotten right now, it's sniffing
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: distance and the goal is to add at this point,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: not subtract.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: You need you you know, you're losing certain players now
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: you need.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: To add you can't subtract because right now you know
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: that if this is what it takes to get into
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the top four, you got to keep on pushing, throw
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: enough money at it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Eventually it's gonna work.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the last two seasons, I would say that
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: they that they were that they were right there. You know,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: they've been c signed with that third fourth spot, fifth sorry,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: the fourth fifth spot, the last excuse me, the last
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: two seasons. So again I think it's there for Roma.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I just think the competition is that is around. Team
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: like Roma is as much as you know, they ship
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: the bed, but they're still of quality as well. So
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: because again you're gonna have to look, you're a team
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: like Roma, You're gonna have to go through the teams
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: like that are there right now. You know, the Inter's,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: the Nopolis, the Melans, the Juves. You know not Atalanta
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: had a bit of a down year, but I think
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you know, a fresh start with Palladino to start the year,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: maybe we're seeing a different two next year. You know,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: they had that bad your Rich example, you know, a
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: project at the beginning of the season and that that
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: went you know, south real fast. So you know, you
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: never know what happens next season. So the competition around
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: these teams like you know Aroma, even a Lazzio or
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: you know Bologna Como, like there just there's too many
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: competitions and limited spots available, so you really have to,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: you know, be the better teams, stick out as a
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: better team to really be able to get there. And
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: one of these teams are gonna have to drop. So
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: I think Roma's there, But what gonna take to get
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: over the hump? I don't know. I think a fresh
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: start next season, under goat Spardini, bringing in I think
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: more players because I think they do need additions, having
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: a mound from day one. I think if it's if
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: it's worked in six months, I would be I would
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: go crazy if it doesn't work in a calendar year
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: for for for for me, for Roma. Sorry with with Malin.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, Like the one thing that kind
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: of like I'm still sketching my head is is there
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: anyery thing you know? Him him kind of going right.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: I know we spoke about that Johnny a couple maybe
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago now, I
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: don't know. It was a thing that we thought probably
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: would just get tossed under the rug. It's not he left.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: He's no longer part of the club. So that for
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: me is a bit head scratching. Is it the typical
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: gay Spardini kind of you know, you know, pulling, pulling
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: the strings and calling the shots. I could see it.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I just don't know. But again, the Freakings want to win, right.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: They want to Not only do they want to win,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: they want to they want to make money, right, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: they want to get into Champions League. They need to
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: get that money, that Champions League money. As much as
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: we like to say it or not, it's a reality.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: So I think they're there, but uh, you know, these
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: last two games, they're gonna have to earn it as
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: much as every other team. So we'll see. But it's doable.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: But again, the only time Hotel, I think.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys could battle little for the top four,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: you know, as long as you get to no problem. Obviously,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Look Napole is the favorite, but look, Adri has to
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: be freshured right with Melon, especially against the solo like,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: oh my god, for all these years, especially a memo Varady,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: the way he just destroys the Melon teams.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: It's twelve goals. I think he has. I think that's
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: twelve goals against Melan and like the last like whatever
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: handful of years, like whatever it is. Now it's like
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: it's it's like you know death or something, Yeah, death
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: taxes memo. But against a goal against Melan, like it's
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: it's it's inevitable at this point. So that's always been
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: our kryptonite. At one point, it was both melanal teams,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: you know, even into they were giving into some struggle lately.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: I think on the lately they just came back up
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: into city. Yeah. But uh, you know, this season it's
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: like it just never fails. I think as much that
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: you have to give the praise to Roma for picking
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: it up at this business end of the season. It's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: a shame on Melan that they're they're dropping the ball
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: a bit in this part of the season because in
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the last five games it's one, like I said, one
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: one in three one goal, one goal, one uh, one win,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: one draw, three losses. So it's it's or is it
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: or is it one? Three and one? Now now I
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: got myself thinking, pull it up, producer, pull it up.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: I think it. I think it's I think it's what
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I said. But now now I'm second guessing myself.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Uh you sing last five, last five, it's what it
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: should be. One one in three, yeah, exactly. And Melan
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: all games in which they got shut out, they've.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Scored, they scored one goal. They scored one goal, one
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: goal in five games. It's it's the first time. And
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I saw this through Martino again, I guess we had
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: last week. Guys, go listen to that episode because it
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: was a good one. But you know, Martino had pulled
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: it up from from an account on Twitter that he
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: that he had found first time in Milan's history that
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: they go in a five games span consecutive span with
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: only one goal scored in their history. That's crazy. Eighteen
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: ninety nine they were found in and this is the
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: first time it's happened. Like it's one of these things
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: that you know, you just scratch your head for, like
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense. Again, we spoke a bit about
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: it last week there with with Martino. You know, it
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: just it kind of is what it is at this
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: point with Melan. It's for me as a fan, it's
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: unacceptable because we can't continue going like this. Not only
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: are our strikers not scoring, we're just not even scoring
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: in general. Uh, you know, know when it matters the most.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: At one point it was okay, it's the seven games
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: left now, and then it was now I was doing
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: that five game left span, and now we're down to
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: three games left, and you know, if we're not if
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: we're not careful, we're slipping out of the top four,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: which is will be you know, you know, detrimental to
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: what this season was supposed to be. So again I
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: put it back to what our firmation looks like, what
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: our players form has looked like. No excuses because I think,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: like I said earlier, Mew and Shot pissed this this
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: this season through their hands on all aspects, like is
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: it possible we can't go far in the cold Italian
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: win it? Like, is it possible that you know, we're
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: putting one competition a week and we can't be a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: bit more competitive for fifteen points off the you know
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the league leaders in inter right now, who officially already
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: won the school that though. So it's these things that
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: are unacceptable, especially at this point of the season, like
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I've been saying, So it's frustrating in the wash to Sasolo,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: like I said, you know, if it's you know if
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: it's better already scoring or if it's not. You know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Clo has been our kryptonite. So it's one of these
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: teams that it's always going to be a bogie team.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: It seems like with with Milan. So as long as
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I can remember, and you know, since we started the podcast,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: like it's been Swol has been that thorn in you
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: know in the bush of of of teams to play
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: against for for Melan, so in our band three years,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: in our better years, the only the only, the only
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: time that it was nice was when Melan want to
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: score that though in in in uh individual Amilia right,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: the three nothing that was like the biggest hurrah moment
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you know in recent times for for me one against
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: against US Woul. But besides that, it's been, uh it
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: seems like it's been doom and gloom with this matchup.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: So uh, I just hope that was and they have
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: a small gap, but there is a bit of a gap, right,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the three points ahead of Sorry, two points
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: ahead of U of A three against over Roma uh
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: and there are only three points behind the nap we
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: who again dropped points this past weekend too. So I
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: think it's all for the taking for all four of
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: these teams, if I'm honest, like I know now we
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: has that bigger advantage with the seventy points currently, but
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: as we see week to week, anything can change and
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: anything can happened. So I think it's it's all for
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: the taking. We'll just see what team I guess at
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the end of it once and more. I'm hoping for Melon.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: They're big. Another big game, like you alluded to earlier, Nick,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: is the Atalanta game this weekend. It's been a run
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: of games where it's been you know, tough opponents and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: even hasn't showed up. So but at the same time,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: on the flip side, you know, Atalanta's been going through
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: a bit of a moment or also they're not having
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: like I like Peladino, They've been having good moments throughout
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the year. But you know, nil mil against Genoa. You know,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: these these these these awkward results that were like, what,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Atalanta's not even scoring a goal Like years ago we
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: were saying Atalanta were scoring like four or five six
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: goals a game. Like It's just it's crazy how how
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: times have changed. But I'm hopeful for at least this weekend,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: but they have to if they don't get nine, you know,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: it has to be at least and again I hate
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: to say six or seven, but you know it has
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: to be at least a minimum of that too to
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I think be comfortable enough to say that, you know
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: you'll get into top four where they finish if to
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: be second, third, or fourth for any of these teams,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: it seems like it's going to be a toss up.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I would hope for a second just to kind of
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: show face a little bit better. But if it's if
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: it's any of those other positions, it's going to have
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: to be. It's a shame because it shouldn't be like this.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: For Melan, they shouldn't be a, oh, yes we got
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: top four, we're Arsenal, we're you know, we're we're happy
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: with top four. You know, results like it has to
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: be scudetto right or you know, some sort of trophy.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: But how things have gone, this is where it's going
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: to be. I'm just curious how, you know, how this
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: season pans out for all our teams for the matter,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: just how the say is gonna pan off in general.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: But I'm curious to see how New One takes this
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: season and kind of goes forward for next season into
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: the summer. There's gonna be some big decisions to be
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: made and we'll we'll have to wait and see for that.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: But finished top four first, and uh, we'll take it
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: from thereafter.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, and yeah, lots of lots to play for
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: in these last three weeks. Cope Italia next week, well,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Maybe we'll have to have a preview next
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: week with either an inter Lazo fan. We'll figure that out. Yeah, guys,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: look obviously shorter episode, but I feel like we talked
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: everything we want to talk about. I don't know if
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: there was anything one last thing you want to bring up, guys,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: if not take us away.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, Like I guess maybe, Like I know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: there's still the three games, but you know, the the relegation,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I think the two the two that are pretty much confirmed.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: That, yeah, like Pisa, Dron and Pisa and Pisa.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: So that race two is pretty interesting to see who's
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: gonna go down. There's a couple of teams down there, Nick.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: But even yeah, yeah, and then even so Incriminaz is
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: at twenty eight, is at thirty two, so you know,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: for Criminas to come back from that, I have to
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: pull up. I'm gonna have to pull up their remaining games.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: But Furentina's safe, so you know, we talked about them
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: all season. Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the City of
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: b but Furentina is safe.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: As well, right I believe? Yeah? Yeah?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Are they safe three games left? No, technically not. Sorry,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: technically not because it depends on the tie breaker for
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: caliding Fiorentina, but they need one point in the last
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: three games and they need Criminas to not win all three.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Then again it depends on the tiebreaker with them with
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: But anyways, if there is a tie in the in
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the last spot, it goes to the playoffs. So technically no,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: they're not safe. Sorry, guys, I got sidetracked. Let me
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: let me just pull up. How's there, you get sidetracked? Yeah,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: let me just pull up the remaining the remaining game.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: So the led Chay What did I say? Led Chay?
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: And yeah, uh.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Pisa Udinese cmo Leche. It's gonna be tough for Lecha
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: uvas solo in Genua so so Lecha. You know they're
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: the ones with the four point advantage, but they have
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: some tough opponents. Even look even Criminase two. They do
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: play Como, but they do also play a team that's
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to go down to the City of b and
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: has nothing left to play for in Pisa, in the
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: forever mid table team Udinese. So obviously all I left
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: to play for with these with these teams, we never know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Leche did get the win against Pisa this past weekend.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: You know, between the two, maybe I'd prefer Lech to
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: stay up, you know that southern influence. Yeah, you know,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: we know Vants is coming up frozen know, and I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: think needs a point to qualify their top two finish.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: And then one of the teams that's in the battle
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be in the playoffs is Plermo. That's I
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: think one team. Maybe we all want to see Pack
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: in the city. It's almost ten years since they last
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: played in city as it's the sixteen seventeen season, which
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: is crazy to think about. You know, a team that
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: played in the Champions League, that produce so many talents
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that you know, they they fell down hard because of
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: so many issues this and that. But I'm hoping player
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: mode is gonna come back up. But out of let
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: let your or Criminaz maybe I prefer you, I don't
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: know about you guys.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: To stay up. Johnny, I don't know if you have
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: an opinion, but uh.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: I don't really have like a really big opinion on
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: who would rather rather stay, honestly speaking, because I know
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: that I don't want Fidentina to go down.
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: That's one team that I don't want to see get relegated.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: But they're thankfully they're they're safe because well you know
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: they're so you're right, yeah, no, there's.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Nine nine points yeah, so technically not but they just
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: need one point.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but like you could consider that fair enough if.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: You can't get one point in three games, and I
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: guess you deserve to go down. It's one of those things.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. But between the two, I don't know.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Besket Out don't want to stay in Setia, so I'm
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna go for I'd rather.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: He's on Criminals. I don't know, he was.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: His whole team, you know what I mean?
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, so criminal, I don't know. Man Like
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: it would be also cool, is you know, to have
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: the body derby, the Pulia Derby in Sei, you know,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: like a body lecture one one of these days. I
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: don't know, if I think bodies far down now but
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: in terms of you know, the the other leagues there.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: But but then it would be no, no, it's actually
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: body is under the name of son. Never mind, I
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: was going to say, like there's the issue of is
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: only both teams in.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: The same league.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: You can't do that?
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, but then now it's under his son's name.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: So that doesn't even Tito have that is that is that?
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Is that wrong? Insane? I thought Tito had that. Yeah,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: situation as well with I Forgure who the team was.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, that was an issue when they came up.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So you know again guys knowing knowing Italy
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: knowing said yeah that these are things that easily under
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: the rug. We move on and there's no problems. So
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: but joking as I guess, I'll stick with le To
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: to stay up there. But like again, it's it's it's
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be a race to the finish in terms of
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: salvation and uh and for for for top for even
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: just Europe in general, because despite the top four race,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: these teams that are you know in the like let's
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: say Roma doesn't finish top four and they go back
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: to Europa League and they finish fifth. You know who's
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: in six. I think it's it'll be Como right that
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: are in there too, so they can potentially be a
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Conference League team, which again for me, is is a
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: step in the right direction for for a club of
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: their stature. So again the fight for Europe to fight
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: for for for salvation. For me, it's it's a it's
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: it's a toss up either way, but I guess I'll
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: stick with with lech uh to to stay up. It's
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: we have so little Southern representation and we're all Southern
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: immigrants here, so it's like we have to show some
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: sort of even though we like Northern teams, and we're
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: gonna get crucified for that. I know you guys like, well, sorry, yes,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Johnny is true, uh true to the bone there, but uh,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: you know, we like some Northern teams and we should
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: be liking the Southern teams to show be there. But uh,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: what's what the South win for one? So I'll stick
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: We'll let you. Uh.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: So I guess now we can officially say that'll do
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: it for us this week.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: We'll do it.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Where can people find us on social media? Because we
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: know we're not getting relegated out of this.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I hope not. The podcast, by the way, listen,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. If we do, we do,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: If we don't, we don't buy. I don't, I don't,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: I hope not. I don't think we're going bankrupt anytime soon.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I hope fingers crossed. I haven't seen I haven't seen
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: the numbers. But joking aside, Guys like Nick open the
