Can't wait for Christmas to be over, you said.
0:02
Yeah, I can't wait for Christmas to be over.
0:04
From a work perspective, a personal perspective.
0:07
Can both? It just gets more and more
0:08
bloody expensive every year. It's such a.
0:11
Why from a personal perspective? Look, it's just really
0:16
expensive. Don't get it wrong.
0:17
I've got this thing. Yeah.
0:19
Well, no, I don't have this thing.
0:20
I heard this thing where someone said adults shouldn't get gifts.
0:23
The only person that should be buying adults gifts are like
0:26
parents, like husband, wife you know?
0:29
I mean it should only be for kids.
0:30
Completely agree. I shouldn't be buying another
0:32
grown ass adult a gift. You have your own money.
0:35
I pretty much I. Return the gift I got you guys.
0:40
Yeah, return the ship. I knew that was a certainty.
0:43
Oh yeah, man, I had a crazy day today.
0:46
My dog got attacked on our morning walk and he was super
0:48
bloody. And I was, I was, yeah, it
0:51
sucked. And I was like, I was art
0:53
directing a shoot today. So I'm like the one that's like
0:55
directing the director on set. So that was happy today.
0:58
So I like couldn't really do anything about it.
1:00
So my wife had to not go to work and like take him to the vet and
1:03
then on the way to the chute that was already like an hour
1:05
late before I got pulled over. They got a ticket.
1:07
Shit. What kind of ticket did you get?
1:10
Speeding ticket, obviously. No, actually it wasn't.
1:13
It was I I forgot to pay him the pre registration.
1:16
So the guy pulled me over and he was super nice.
1:18
He's like I saw you on your phone in your hand too.
1:20
So I'm just going to give you a phone ticket and just get your
1:21
registration fixed. So that was nice.
1:23
You know, I've noticed they do that a lot.
1:26
Yeah, really. They do.
1:27
They actually do. Like I was super nice.
1:30
I'm like, yeah, like there's no excuse.
1:31
I'm sorry. Like I should have got it done.
1:33
There was this one. Time.
1:34
Well, I was speeding. I mean, I was, I was, I was
1:37
fucking. Speeding.
1:37
You're zooming. Well, I was.
1:39
Zooming down the the 1:18 to the 23.
1:42
You cannot not speed down the 1:18.
1:44
Like, that's what I'm saying, right?
1:45
So I'm speeding, right? And I usually have my ways on
1:48
just to let me know when cops are there and I see and it's
1:51
already too late. You know, when you see him, he's
1:53
like, oh, it's fucking too late. I was already pulling over.
1:56
I don't know how I just I didn't realize that past I was going
1:59
to, I looked down. I was doing 95 plus.
2:00
So I I pull over and I'm real. It's an older, older cop and I'm
2:03
real nice to him. He's like, you know what, man?
2:05
Well, he was on Russia. I was just trying to get to
2:07
work, mate. I'm very sorry about that, Sir.
2:09
I'm Sir this. And he's like, you know what,
2:11
I'm going to give you a 79 mile per hour ticket.
2:13
It's the cheapest one out of all of them.
2:16
Just be more careful. Was like oh thank.
2:18
You, you're going to be, you're going to be paid a lot
2:19
otherwise. Dude, it's a lot like that, that
2:22
that ticket was 400, you know what I mean?
2:24
So I can only imagine what the 95 plus is going to be.
2:27
I've got a ticket over 100 going over 100.
2:31
Yeah, but isn't that reckless driving?
2:33
Or is that 105? No, it's over 100.
2:36
The guy, it was actually on my birthday.
2:38
I was going to pick up my it's girlfriend like this like over
2:42
10 years ago when I was young and dumb, younger and Dumber, I
2:46
should say. And yeah, I, I had, I got a
2:49
lawyer. So they made it go away.
2:50
I actually had a customer who was a lawyer.
2:52
He kind of took care of it for free.
2:53
That's really nice. Oh, that's.
2:55
Nice. OK.
2:58
Oh look, no one cares about the league table.
3:00
No one cares. About it, they don't keep.
3:01
They don't care about. It it's just pointless, guys.
3:04
Because you've dropped from being King Aragon all the way
3:08
to. Son, just the dark loin, you
3:10
know? Where am I even?
3:12
You're 40. This.
3:13
Is in four. You're not even on podium.
3:16
Look at this. Oh yeah.
3:17
But look at like my point, so I'm second in points scored.
3:20
Who's first? To you OK I did only by a few so
3:23
like like 10 OK look at points against I'm second points
3:27
against two no, only by two yeah so I'm that is what it is I'm
3:32
not I'm not like ripping up my team even though I've been on a
3:35
pretty bad little run I'm. Really.
3:37
No. Yeah, that is what it is.
3:38
Enzo, you're, if you look at those stats for you, they're not
3:42
great. You should, but you know it's
3:44
great. I got 9.
3:46
Wins in a row. It's not I don't remember us
3:49
being this like happy and cocky when we were in in first place
3:53
like in the 1st. Place.
3:54
I'm pretty sure I remember you being a right cunt all right.
3:59
He's talking with Keith. Not talking with you.
4:01
Keith was actually solemn, like he had a couple with.
4:04
He'd do it at the beginning and it'd be over with and he changed
4:07
his picture. The the picture was the only
4:09
thing that was like a little, you know, fuck.
4:11
You I irked you? Yeah.
4:13
But you, Sergey, I mean, I called you Sergey.
4:18
Should we get into this? I want to bust through this
4:19
because I'm. I'm a very unhappy man.
4:22
Bust through this dude. I did not want to be here.
4:24
Things have not been good for me.
4:26
I'm the fantasy. Yeah, you want to bust quickly.
4:29
Yeah, I want to. I want to be done.
4:33
Anger, bang. I don't think there's any sort
4:34
of fornication going on all. Right, let's go.
4:39
Well, does it make you any happier that we are the three of
4:42
us, myself and Sergei are the ones ahead of you?
4:45
Or does it make it worse? Definitely worse.
4:47
Yeah, definitely worse. I know, Sergei.
4:49
You know what? That funny?
4:51
Because you said how good it was when you were taught that all
4:54
four of us were taught. It's good for the podcast that
4:57
you know. Now all of a sudden, now he's at
4:59
the bottom of the the town hall. Now it's whatever.
5:02
It doesn't really matter. Oh, it's good for like us
5:04
collectively, but it's just not good for my own emotional stamp.
5:07
But like that that mean that Sir, I keep sharing of that guy
5:10
getting pushed down into the ditch.
5:12
Like I haven't really like said anything, but it really bothers
5:14
me. Everything that I see, there's
5:16
like a little bit of rage. It just starts like where did.
5:19
That come from I don't know. Perfect.
5:21
It's from King of the Hill. I don't know.
5:24
I don't know any context behind it.
5:25
I've watched very few King of the Hill episodes.
5:27
But it's like this guy, guy trying to climb out of a ditch
5:29
and someone just like pushes him back into the ditch.
5:31
And every little time I do anything remotely, just like
5:34
even every single time I do anything.
5:35
So he just sends that meme and it's just like, I'm just
5:38
defeated. Oh sorry, I'm emotionally just
5:41
beat down right now. It's it's a pretty good meme.
5:44
It it's actually that that episode of itself, that even
5:46
that scene, it's pretty funny towards the end where his that
5:50
guy's being a Dick to Hank's wife.
5:52
So he just Peggy, So he just keeps.
5:54
Doesn't let it come out at all we've.
5:56
Actually had some really good memes, like just get abused, you
5:59
know? Yeah, the time I missed that
6:01
one, I missed that one. I did not think that AI did not
6:04
think that a meme could get under my skin so badly as some
6:07
of the memes in our Fantasy Shocker group path.
6:09
It's pretty devastating. Alright, let's get.
6:12
Let's get into. Let's get into this.
6:14
Out of scale. Hello and welcome to episode 69
6:16
of Draft Offsides Baby with Tico Enzo.
6:19
Yeah, my name is Keith and man, we're here.
6:23
Match Wizards, match day 15. Things are looking up for the
6:27
Tico, Enzo and Sergei. Things are looking down for me.
6:30
It's been a little bit of a downward trend, but we go on.
6:33
Chelsea's winning, so that's good.
6:35
Talking about a good win tonight.
6:36
We had a good win. Arsenal haven't draw.
6:39
I had none of us thought Chelsea would be here right now.
6:42
I don't even think Chelsea though they'd be here.
6:43
I don't think Chelsea though they'd.
6:44
Be here. Well, Rutzke's still.
6:45
He sounds like friggin who was the Ranieri when he was at
6:49
Leicester. Yeah.
6:50
We're not trying to win the league, we're just trying to get
6:51
some four and he's going to somehow fucking win the league.
6:54
You know what though, I will say is Chelsea's really rode their
6:58
luck a lot. Like some of defensively,
6:59
they've gotten away with some stuff and like they just haven't
7:02
finished games like they should. And so, you know, I, I just
7:05
don't see this sustaining and like I, you know, I think that
7:07
Arsenal draw was pretty, pretty impressive if you really want to
7:11
talk about like impressive performances.
7:13
I'm going to say that the way they're looking, you need a
7:17
little bit of luck in my opinion to win the league so.
7:20
Yeah, you do. Absolutely.
7:22
OK, let's let's just Buster through this because I do not
7:24
want to be here. It's been a bad week for me and
7:26
I just want to put this one behind us and start over.
7:28
So Dodds and Dodds Chico take it away.
7:31
Ishmael Sr. 37.75 points from Crystal Palace, not a household
7:36
name, contributed in all three palace goals with with an
7:39
assistant two goals. Prior to this game, he had a 25
7:41
point game in a 10.5 point game and rest of it was single digit.
7:44
So I don't think there's anything that is kind of
7:47
consistent here. You're just going to see pretty
7:50
mediocre games, and then you'll see like, this magical game once
7:53
in the blue moon, once every few weeks, yeah.
7:56
Oh, go ahead. No, I definitely think it's just
7:58
a Unicorn game. I think we picked him up early.
8:01
A lot of people thinking high hopes from the game of the
8:03
season. He actually got drafted a lot,
8:04
but he got dropped by a lot more people after that.
8:07
I the one thing I will say, and we'll talk about this a little
8:09
later too, and I don't want to get tuned right now, but is that
8:12
he is seeming to lock in a role. So take that without what you
8:17
will. Doesn't mean you're going to
8:17
generate points, but I think it's looking that that line is
8:20
looking more and more like he is a big part of it.
8:24
You know what? I mean, how is this trending
8:25
upwards? And palace training upward.
8:27
Yes, that would be my that would be my one thought.
8:29
OK, who's next? Lewis Hall from Newcastle 37.25
8:33
points versus projected 14.62 assists 5 key passes which
8:37
brings the average to 9.8. We talked about Newcastle
8:40
defense for the past couple years.
8:42
There is a lot of value here. I think it's good to own a part
8:45
of the Newcastle defenders. Guess who had to play against in
8:47
this week? You did.
8:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No fun. 37.25.
8:53
Yeah, 2 assists. Yeah, clean sheet to assess
8:57
clean. Sheet.
8:58
To assess, Yeah. It's like, I mean, he's a good
9:01
player. It was interesting because when
9:02
he came last year and you weren't sure if he was like up
9:04
to stop and then you just realized how young he is and
9:06
you're like, oh, he probably just needed some really time to
9:08
like settle because he hadn't played a lot for Chelsea prior
9:10
to that. Yeah, but he's starting to look
9:12
good. I mean, trippier is a non
9:14
factor. So then you're looking at
9:16
Livermento and Hall and they're never going to be trippier, but
9:19
I think they can definitely contribute.
9:21
Yeah, no, I agree. But I also think this will be
9:23
his high watermark of the season.
9:25
It's like you said, he got two assists.
9:27
It says on fan tracks you only got one assist.
9:29
It was 2. It was something that matters
9:32
for your matchup, but it could. No, it says close enough.
9:36
Really. It says one-on-one.
9:37
I see 2. Yeah.
9:39
Where are you looking at? Oh, you know what?
9:41
It's even got the score wrong. That's weird.
9:43
Are you looking at the right game?
9:45
Yeah, I'm looking at the right game.
9:46
Are you looking at the right hole?
9:48
Yes, I'm looking. You don't fuck off.
9:49
All right, carry on. Sorry, it said four nil on there
9:52
too. I don't know, got key gun.
9:53
All right, that's probably the previous game.
9:56
All right. No, that's the same game.
9:57
Anthony Robinson 30.25 points versus a disrespectful 7 1/2
10:02
points projected points, 2 assists, 5 key passes you're.
10:06
Going to keep going. I'm going to keep going.
10:08
Five key passes, 3 tackles, 3 crosses, 3 interceptions.
10:15
One clearance, one dribble completed, a blocked shot, an
10:19
aerial 1. Number one ranked defender,
10:21
number one in total points. Number one in points for a game
10:24
ranked eleven overall. USAUSAUSA.
10:30
I'm not going to lie, the fee is one of the best trades I've made
10:35
this season for me. Yeah, that was a good trade you
10:38
made against me. But I'm not.
10:40
I'm still not. I'm.
10:41
Going to say I wouldn't be mad. You got, you got Jackson.
10:43
I got Jackson and he's been playing.
10:44
Really, he's one of the best strikers in the league right
10:46
now. So if not.
10:47
Yeah, but but I think you're getting more.
10:49
You got more right now, but it's not like it wasn't like a bad
10:51
trade, but you definitely got more.
10:53
Andy Robinson, since that trade has really even gotten even
10:55
better. It seems like he's grown into
10:57
himself. He's got the most assists of any
11:00
defender this calendar year in the.
11:02
Process He is the best left back in the Premier League without a
11:06
doubt. In the world, this is what
11:08
happens when the player goes under the right manager, they
11:10
thrive. You know the he was doing pretty
11:12
well on the key team now goes on Vincenzo's team now they're
11:16
number one in a way called you Vincenzo, but.
11:19
You know, thank you. I appreciate it.
11:21
That's where you're right. That's me.
11:24
It's like that Taylor Swift song.
11:26
My defenders are on fire. They carry me every.
11:30
Sickening. Sickening.
11:32
But yeah, I mean amazing. I mean, really.
11:35
Good blow. Really exciting.
11:36
I'd be curious to see if they start getting people coming for
11:39
him like at Manchester United, who really needs a left back for
11:42
their wing system. Like there's some definitely
11:44
some people that could be very interested in him.
11:47
But would you want, would he want to leave Fulham now,
11:48
Especially the way they're, they don't play him badly.
11:51
They're a good team. And I don't think.
11:52
He'd go to Man United, I think he'd go to.
11:54
I think there'll be bigger clubs going for him that they'd
11:57
probably rather go to. Yeah.
11:59
I mean, for that cash money, I could see him going anywhere.
12:02
Yeah, like Americans love coming to Tottenham so.
12:05
I mean, he, you know, he's actually British, British.
12:08
Like he was like he has like a British accent.
12:10
He's like kind of he's one of those like expat like players.
12:13
But hey, yeah, we'll take it. Or Milton Keynes.
12:16
Milton Keynes, Yeah. Yeah, he has a.
12:19
He's like, yeah. He's like dad is like, it's
12:21
like, you know, one of those situations.
12:23
Here's the passport and. The funny thing is England
12:25
doesn't have a left back now they have to clear right back in
12:27
that position. But kind of funny.
12:30
You had a funny great edition. It would have been.
12:32
Oh yeah, who's the honorable mention for stuff?
12:35
The Jet Spence. The jet, right?
12:37
No Jed. No, Jed.
12:39
Jed. Jed All right, Silence.
12:41
D Is he? No, he's English.
12:43
He's English. What a what a interesting first
12:45
name. Yeah, I was actually looking up.
12:47
I thought it might be like Eastern European too, but first
12:50
start of the year had 24.75 points in the drubby against
12:53
Southampton. He was one of four Tottenham
12:56
Hotspurs to score over 20 points along with SAR Matters and Son.
13:00
But yeah, first start and he had 24.75.
13:03
Obviously against the shitty opponent, but pretty something
13:06
to keep an eye on. Yeah, he's just want to look out
13:08
for. I like Jed Spence before he came
13:10
to Tottenham, I think he, I can't remember what team was
13:12
annoying. Forest, one of those he helped
13:14
bring up and he did really well and we picked him up and then he
13:17
just, I guess something about his attitude.
13:19
But however, with Udoggi getting injured, he might have an
13:24
opportunity to play and I like the way he plays.
13:26
He's very attacking or it could be a It could be a nice pick up,
13:29
but you want to monitor your doggie first.
13:31
Totally agree. What a what is what a first
13:33
start? That's like stuff of dreams.
13:35
All right, moving to the dads. What do we got?
13:38
Ryan Ed Nori Ed Nori always have a hard time with this.
13:42
Negative .75 points versus projective 12.57.
13:45
Got a yellow card and stoppage time in the first half.
13:48
Got a second yellow at the 95th minute so stoppage time killed
13:52
him. Gave him at a -. 7 points and
13:54
brought it to negative .75 where he could have had what 6.25
13:57
points and helped get his manager fired.
14:00
I mean, I think he was getting fired no matter what it.
14:02
Was coming. I mean, just like the the fact
14:04
that it's the second game in a row that players were fighting
14:07
after the game, it's really bad reflection.
14:10
Well, he he lost the locker room when he started talking about
14:12
the players. But to be fair, a lot of the
14:14
players that individually I think he has a better set of
14:17
players than anyone that bought Ball 3.
14:19
I agree, I agree with that. I also I would say lookout for
14:22
at Norway. I think he might be a trade
14:23
target. Right now because.
14:25
With this, with this band, I mean, the Wolves have been bad.
14:27
They've been letting a lot of goals.
14:29
You're hoping a new manager's going to come in and shore up
14:31
that defense a little bit somehow.
14:32
I don't know how, maybe in January.
14:34
But if that's the case, I think at Norway could really throw,
14:38
you know, he can have a really good second-half of the season
14:41
and you could buy him for cheap right now, I think.
14:43
I think so and I think if a new manager does come in, I think
14:45
they go for a defensive manager. I see him going 5 at a bag and
14:49
going counter attacking because that's the way they they need to
14:51
stop seeping in goals because they can score goals but they
14:54
can't stop letting them in. Yeah, and who else?
14:58
BIA Tika. Chris Wood 2.75 points are
15:00
projected to a 14.92. Over his last six games, he's
15:04
only averaging 6.29, and he only has two goals in that span, so a
15:09
bit high on him, but he's hit a kind of a rough patch within the
15:11
last six games, averaging last A7.
15:14
Yeah, I don't even know if he had a rough patch, if he was
15:16
just on such a hot streak, and now he's hitting the level
15:18
that's probably a little more realistic for him.
15:22
Maybe it could be. I think that his points per
15:26
star, like we were told before is really high.
15:29
But I don't know. I'm not, I'm not too down on him
15:33
yet. He's another rotation player.
15:35
Like like you said, you want to play with the strikers or the
15:38
midfielders are hot, especially the ones that are scoring goals
15:40
and you and you roll them. I think you'll come back.
15:42
I think it's a good Forest team and will they will they fin
15:44
there and they're still up there.
15:47
Before we go to the move on to the next one, just real quick
15:50
against the last six opponents has been Villa, City, Arsenal
15:53
and Newcastles. They've also been having tough
15:56
competitions. So just wait till he gets to the
15:58
ones below frigging, you know, six and seven.
16:00
We just start banging in goals again.
16:02
I mean, they're, yeah, they're for there now.
16:03
And I mean, they have a pretty easy lineup coming out there,
16:05
Brentford, Tottenham, Everton, Wolves, so.
16:08
I would try to buy by law. By law.
16:12
Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good, I think it's a good one to go
16:14
good child. OK, who else we have?
16:16
Bernardo Silva, 3.25 Points versus Projected 13.54.
16:21
He had no key passes in this game.
16:22
It's only the second time that he started a game and he had no
16:25
key passes. The last game like that, the
16:28
first one was against Ipswich and back in August, which was
16:31
the second game of the year. So it's kind of interesting to
16:33
see no key passes on that team. Shows what their struggle and
16:37
everything they're going through.
16:38
I'm surprised you only pick one player.
16:39
There was not one Man City player in the top 30.
16:42
Yeah. I mean, it was just consistently
16:44
bad across the board there, which as it has been for a while
16:47
now, Yeah. So just rough times there.
16:50
I mean, it's what do you do? It's like you're a firing pet.
16:54
No, they just gave him a new contract for an extra year.
16:56
Yeah, so you could blame it. We can blame it on the on
16:59
injuries, all right? They're missing a lot of
17:01
players. They're a This is an aging team.
17:03
Agent. Agent Injuries.
17:05
Agent injuries. So I'll give him that.
17:07
What? No covertures this game?
17:08
No Rhodri? Brian is getting older.
17:11
Budget offenders out. Like they had Matthias and you
17:13
guys playing left back like that's.
17:15
I mean, that dude's not a defender, no.
17:18
Yeah, you know, and the players they've replaced, those great
17:21
players they had in the past, like Savino, I still think he's
17:23
a good player. Doku, I think he's a good
17:25
player. But the players they had before
17:26
were proven, you know what I mean?
17:27
Like Amarez won a league with Leicester proven, you know what
17:30
I mean? So this Man City team is.
17:32
Yeah, let's, let's move on, Honourable mentioned.
17:36
Virgil Van Dyke .25 points versus projected 12.74 just one
17:40
clear and two arrows one. It was his worst game of the
17:43
season. When you look back, worst three
17:45
games came in the last four games.
17:47
So again, I don't know if there's something there or not,
17:50
but Van Dyke has been on having a rough month.
17:55
Yeah, that's interesting. Do you think?
17:57
I mean, I think with the fenders sometimes there is a there is a
17:59
drop off. He's getting older.
18:00
I don't I'm not sure if I'm you're saying that when Jake's
18:03
washed, but it is really interesting Diego that like the
18:05
just the points of that's a pretty big drop off.
18:07
It is a. Big job they had.
18:09
They haven't had clean sheets, have they, the last four games?
18:11
Either. The only the one outlier was
18:16
17.75 when they had a clean sheet but they played city.
18:19
I mean, does that even count? Right now, not really.
18:22
Yeah. Yeah.
18:25
All right. And they had the best defense
18:26
outside of City. They let in two against Fulham,
18:28
3 against Newcastle and two against Southampton.
18:31
There you go. Crazy times.
18:33
Crazy. Times.
18:35
I should get the notes from around the league, some of the
18:38
main stories and strong Kick it off.
18:41
Newcastle 4, Leicester zero. What a spanking, huh?
18:45
Oh man, New Lester did let's add a bunch of injuries too.
18:48
They had like no midfield in there.
18:49
And when you look at those center backs like they you can
18:52
get behind them left, right and center.
18:54
Connor, Cody and Vesigard. So fuck it is.
18:56
Zach Gordon had a fucking field day this game.
18:59
And then the Leicester keeper got who's been really good this
19:01
year, got injured and came off the path and said and then when
19:04
the Cat Newcastle scored two goals in like 5 minutes and.
19:07
Real bloody, but we're. Talking Hall, we talked about
19:10
him 37.25 points over 29 ghost points, which is crazy.
19:13
ESAC 34 points go on assist, Murphy 25 1/2 points and then
19:17
Gordon with 20 points with an assist.
19:19
I mean, I mean what? 124 players over 20, Pretty
19:25
good. And pretty play good.
19:27
He's better than having no players in the top 30, I can
19:29
tell you that. And for Newcastle Pope, their
19:32
goalkeeper is out until mid January, so he'll be out for the
19:34
next month. Again, I think the brothel will
19:37
be a freaking good pick up. Yeah, I think it seems like
19:40
Newcastle is kind of stabilizing.
19:41
I think they kind of struggled early in the season.
19:43
It seems like they're being in a better place.
19:45
You know, the zero to all their defenders.
19:47
Like Dan Barron is is viable again.
19:49
You know, he looks like he's playing center back.
19:51
So there's some good, there's some good things going on there.
19:53
Leicester, not so much. I kind of took a gamble on El
19:56
Cahoose this week. Yeah.
19:57
And that was that was a mistake. No bueno.
20:01
Yeah, I'm going to hold on to him maybe for another week or so
20:03
to see if there's anything there.
20:04
But yeah, I think that might have just been a flash of the
20:06
pan. That really good game he had.
20:07
Really. Yeah.
20:08
I mean I lost him in my matchup but hey.
20:12
That is what it is. Next game, Brighton won Palace
20:15
3. We talked about Ishmael SAR with
20:17
37.75 points with two goals in an assist.
20:20
Show a child about 21 points in a goal.
20:22
He's been really good for that a couple.
20:26
Games in a row. He's been one of those defenders
20:29
that if you were able to stag him like free pretty much, he's
20:32
probably like you're probably in a really good position because
20:34
he's just the amount of points he's scoring is huge.
20:36
Yeah his ADP was 1196 so I'm pretty sure whoever has in
20:40
roster they didn't draft it. No, exactly.
20:42
And he's been solved. And then Tariq Mitchell, who's
20:45
on the other side of the Muniz and Muniz has been, he was the
20:47
number one defender before Anthony Robbinson's master class
20:49
this week. But Muniz has been great and
20:51
Mitchell's on the other side providing an additional threat.
20:55
So and. Annie Robinson's only go even
20:57
further ahead of him next week because Munoz is bad next week.
21:01
Out of the other at. You go to yellow, too many
21:03
yellows. It's that it's that time of the
21:05
season, yeah. As it is, Brian looked a little
21:07
lackluster. They got a goal, but it was kind
21:09
of like a it wasn't a well crafted goal.
21:12
No, yeah, like Welbeck's out. So I think that might have been
21:16
a little bit of a factor. Minta's back in the squad.
21:18
He scored last week. This week he didn't do much.
21:20
He played for I think 7080 minutes and wasn't able to do
21:22
much. Yeah, Jon Pedro had a few good
21:24
moments, but looked really frustrating.
21:26
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I that's still a
21:28
good brand team, but I think we're just looking at, you know,
21:31
there's a lot of good teams in the league right now, so there's
21:33
going to be results like this. They can bounce back.
21:36
Yeah, OK, Next game, City 1, Manchester United 2.
21:41
The Manchester Derby. What a game this was, huh?
21:44
What a cool Keef. What a fucking gamble.
21:46
Right now I predicted this one as a United win, but
21:49
unfortunately I also predicted Bournemouth to win and the bets
21:53
were tied together, so I got absolutely nothing for my for my
21:57
genius. But it was still genius.
22:00
I didn't see this. I mean, but I also.
22:02
How lucky was that though? They score in the last five
22:05
minutes, yeah. You can call it lucky, but like
22:07
honest, this was a terrible fucking game.
22:10
Yeah, I was so. Dead.
22:12
Yeah, but drifting off at moments doing it.
22:15
The other was the shining point. I think this guy's, we said it.
22:18
I said it early in the season, I said he should have been
22:20
starring week like week in, week out.
22:22
He's a big shining point, a 30 points this game, got a goal.
22:26
He's a star for Man United build on for for Ameren to build on.
22:29
Did you guys see when he tried to shake Pep's hand after the?
22:32
Game, I thought that was actually I, I didn't think that
22:34
was disrespectful at all. No, I don't think so.
22:35
Yeah, I I was just going to play visual.
22:39
It was really funny because he went up like, hey, like you're
22:41
literally like my idol, can I shake your?
22:42
That's the vibe I got out of that.
22:44
Yeah, it was. Yeah, I think it was more.
22:45
Respect. Yeah, I think.
22:47
It was more respect. I don't think it was a because
22:48
he walked up. The camera was.
22:50
I was following him because he scored that game.
22:51
It wasn't because they were for him to go see that.
22:53
That's just. Yeah, but it was, it was so
22:55
funny. And Pep was a little taken aback
22:56
and the whole thing was so like, yeah, very much like it was very
22:59
much like banter stuff and like there's a lot of funny memes
23:01
online about it. So of.
23:02
Course. Can I give a couple of city
23:03
notes? Go for it.
23:05
Go for. It So I think one thing we
23:07
haven't talked about when we the city struggle, we mentioned
23:09
Rodri a lot, but I don't think we talked about Alvarez, which
23:12
right now when they're struggling to go score goals. 2.
23:16
You're right. I don't know if you guys follow
23:17
him, but he's been doing very well.
23:19
Tearing it up bro. Those goals he's scoring
23:21
Galazos. Galazos Yeah, there's a score,
23:23
goal scores. Galazos And then the second
23:25
thing I was seeing, because, you know, after every press
23:27
conference with the Pepsi cranks up the excuse machine.
23:30
I just want my players back. Rodri, I lost the best player in
23:32
the world. So I think he's he's the person
23:35
who's he's happier that Rodri won the ball on Dior more than
23:39
Rodriguez just because he could use this excuse.
23:41
Oh, we don't have the best player in the world.
23:43
That's funny. I think he's been.
23:45
Protecting his players though, he's doing what a magic does.
23:47
I think that's some Real Madrid bias right there with Pep.
23:50
It is the IT is interesting to see someone who's been so good
23:56
for so long, all of a sudden that drop off and like, he looks
23:59
like a deer in the headlights, like he's not quite sure how to
24:02
handle this. Like the criticism, like all
24:03
these things are just different from anything he's ever dealt
24:06
with before in any part of his managerial career.
24:09
He even took a shot for Jose for no reason.
24:11
Jose Moreno, maybe I'm more like Jose than I thought.
24:14
So I was like, on that street. The guy that's not in the
24:16
Premier League, the rival has been dead for years.
24:19
You won. Like, why are you bringing him
24:20
into it saying, oh, you know, like pointing out he also
24:22
struggled at the end. Yeah, I think, you know, you
24:25
don't really get a test of someone's character when they're
24:27
winning. You do what they're losing.
24:29
And I think we're gonna we're seeing a little bit of a
24:30
different side of tap. And that's not like a total
24:32
knock on him. It's just, and it's the truth.
24:34
Like no one's going to be their best self when they're on A10
24:37
game losing streak, whatever one one of their last 11 is, that is
24:40
that. It's something crazy like that,
24:41
right? Or if they're on the 9
24:42
game-winning streak, they're not going to be their best.
24:44
Yeah, they're unbearable. Pretty unbearable 9 game-winning
24:47
streaks not good for. The soul very humble.
24:49
Have not be humble. I haven't been talking a lot of
24:51
shit. Yeah, but it's implied.
24:53
Is it? It's a bloody language.
24:55
She didn't. Even grin on your face.
24:57
Oh, I'm sorry. Your necklace is outside now.
25:00
Hey, you should have some bling. You're just like full lash.
25:04
All right, guys, I see the hey, I like it.
25:06
I'm taking it all in. All right, Southampton 0.
25:09
Spurs, fine. That was a slacky.
25:11
I think it was 05 at halftime, right?
25:13
Yeah. I was really shitting myself in
25:15
the foot because we we scored again real early like we did
25:17
against Chelsea and I was like, oh, here we go again.
25:19
Yeah, I mean, you're like traumatized.
25:21
You're like PTSD, man. You're like an abuse abuse
25:23
victim. Spurs scored in the in the first
25:27
half, we're going to get one. Of the best goal differences in
25:30
the league right now, we just can't fucking win enough games
25:32
to be fucking relevant. You OK?
25:35
I saw that, You know that Chelsea has 36 goals scored in
25:38
19 conceded. Tottenham has 35 scored 19
25:42
conceded. But they're they're 10 points.
25:45
They're ten places different from each other in the league.
25:47
That is kind of a crazy start, huh?
25:48
It is. It's just because like, like
25:50
they when they, when they win, they win big, but when they
25:53
lose, they lose small, you know what I mean?
25:55
But they lose more than they win, you know what I mean?
25:57
So it's totally it is what it is.
25:59
What? It's good.
25:59
It's good. When it's bad, it's really bad.
26:00
Yeah, pretty much. Obviously talked about Saan.
26:03
I think he had two assists, so 34.5 points tied with Anderson.
26:07
Is that what he's supposed to? Be Darren Anderton, he's tied
26:10
for the club record for. Assists.
26:12
Assists. Yeah, OK.
26:14
Madison, 34 points, two goals. Great for him.
26:16
Pop piece are 28 1/2 points picked up.
26:19
Tico picked up in both leagues. Good for you.
26:22
We talked about D Jed Spence with the 24.75 points.
26:25
Yeah, that doggy injury. Keep an eye on that.
26:27
That's a really good point overall.
26:29
Good game that lost. Satan is manager of the job.
26:32
Russell, Martin. He's gone sayonara.
26:36
I don't I I'm obviously we're obviously not picking up any
26:38
Southampton players, but I think it is interesting when new
26:41
managers come in because there might be some rearranging, there
26:43
might be some value down the line.
26:45
So it's just something to keep an eye on.
26:46
We're so we're so dismissive of everything Southampton and like
26:49
they're not going to, they're not going to like not get
26:51
relegated but they might put up more of a fight maybe.
26:54
Like, they've really only got two players that I would even
26:56
consider. That'd be Dibbling and
26:58
Armstrong. They're the only two that I
27:00
would because the rest of the plays they don't like premature
27:02
players and they don't put up points.
27:04
I mean, Barrington Diaz is there, he just he wasn't getting
27:07
any playing time and he's been he had he had some good
27:09
performances last year for the Blades for Sheffield.
27:12
So I mean, there's there's definitely there could be
27:14
something there if the right manager comes in, But I'm not
27:17
I'm not saying like pick up South end players, but just be
27:19
mindful of it, see what happens. Tico.
27:23
Similar to last year, when the year started, we didn't look at
27:26
Luton Town or Brinley, but towards the end of it, the last
27:28
I would say like 10 to 15 matches, they had some players
27:31
that were consistently putting up points.
27:33
So exactly, it's good just to kind of, you know, not forget
27:36
about them. Absolutely some.
27:38
Just some other just major talking points.
27:40
Both Arsenal and Liverpool drop points.
27:42
I think Liverpool obviously will be significantly happier with
27:44
their draw than Arsenal was. I thought was a very frustrating
27:47
draw for Arsenal against Everton.
27:49
Liverpool went down to 10 minutes, didn't even look like
27:51
they even lost the man. No, they look so good.
27:54
Do you see that he didn't make a sub run afterwards, they just
27:56
slowed? Like that was one of the sickest
27:58
things I've ever seen. Like you just you don't even
28:00
need to make a sub. You're just like now we got.
28:02
Floating, grabbing Birch right there and just keep playing.
28:04
Someone. Someone you like.
28:07
You know the Bane, The Bane speech.
28:08
It's like you think you you think the darkness is your ally.
28:11
From that man bored. In the dark.
28:12
Someone, someone like superimposed Sean Dash's face on
28:15
that and wrote and wrote. You think corners are your ally?
28:18
You really adopted the set piece.
28:19
I was bored. I didn't see the open play XG
28:23
until I was an experienced Kremlin's manager.
28:25
By then it was nothing to me but a blinding.
28:27
That's fucking good. Isn't that really good?
28:28
That's really good. I also.
28:30
Saw that Omran one at the Emirates and Arteta still has a
28:34
one. Yeah, he shows the one at the
28:35
Emirates and Armor did it again. Already.
28:37
I saw the funniest post on the Instagram, someone said rehired
28:40
then hog just so he could fire him again.
28:42
That's so funny. Oh shit.
28:44
But yeah, but Liverpool's probably really, I mean,
28:46
obviously frustrating for Robertson to go off the way he
28:48
did. I don't bring out the red car
28:50
with me. I think I wasn't a red.
28:52
It's all those ones. You just have to shake your head
28:54
and be like that sucks but I think that's a red.
28:56
Look, he kicked it too far and then they still had a goal.
29:00
They still had a scoring opportunity.
29:02
He didn't deny a goal, scoring opportunity.
29:04
They had a shot. He just missed it, you know what
29:07
I mean? And the way he.
29:08
Hit it out of that guy. Yeah, but the way he hit it, he
29:10
was never going to make it. He just over hit it heavy for
29:13
anyway. That's another one to disagree,
29:14
but go. On but I think, I think to me,
29:16
the Liverpool game, I thought before obviously before they go
29:21
before the the red card, I thought Fulham looked really
29:23
impressive as they have they're they're literally are the Robin
29:26
Hood team they stole from the rich again.
29:27
Yeah, you know, and yeah, Arsenal did not look good and
29:30
Everton could be happy with Everton and happy with those
29:32
defenders we talked about. They're going into a really
29:35
tough run of games. But I mean, if they can hold,
29:38
hold these top teams, then those those Everton defenders get even
29:41
more valuable. Dude, this dude that's so good.
29:44
And. They get so many.
29:45
Points We talked about a full and possibly selling Robinson or
29:49
selling some of their players, but they're only three points
29:51
out of Europe. They might even, you know, I
29:53
don't know if you guys know what their owners are.
29:54
They're the owners of WWE and the Jackson Jaguars, so they
29:57
have money. If they decide to buy a couple
29:59
players, they could possibly play for Euros.
30:02
Didn't know that. It's a good shot.
30:03
Chelsea two points behind Liverpool on Chris Liverpool as
30:06
a game in hand. Chelsea beat Brantford 21 and
30:09
Brantford is running their bogey team.
30:10
They think they've lost the last three games they've played
30:12
against Brantford. It was a solid game, like
30:14
nothing spectacular, but good. Nick Nico Jackson got another
30:17
goal, which was obviously great. Gorilla ball what?
30:21
He also tripped in the box. Misses Sitter.
30:23
He missed. He missed Sitter.
30:25
Then he scored a pretty tough one.
30:27
That's that's the nature of Jack.
30:30
He's very mercurial. If that's what you call it.
30:33
Yeah, yeah, it's fun. It's a fun time.
30:35
I, I think I mentioned earlier at the top of the show, but I
30:37
feel like, I personally feel like he is not like Chelsea's
30:42
not quite there like they, there's some things that are
30:45
just a little off. Could I ask you what would you
30:48
change? Because at the moment the only
30:50
thing I would tweet in this Chelsea team is the defence.
30:53
Yeah, I think that's what I think the defence isn't good
30:55
enough right now to to push for a title because I think
30:59
ultimately, like obviously the only thing that really matters
31:01
is you score more goals. So you can see it, I think over
31:04
a 37 game season or 38 game season or whatever, it's you're
31:08
going to have games, you're not going to be able to score four
31:10
goals a game and you that you need to have your defense lock
31:13
in. I just don't really have faith
31:14
in the Chelsea defense to lock in.
31:15
Does Enzo Fernandez have anyone else that he could treat like a
31:18
piece of shit so he's continuous as 4?
31:21
You got another assist? Yet another assist.
31:23
I thought he did. Right, he's good, someone told
31:26
me. Just.
31:27
Say you think he's good like. I think he's like doing great
31:29
player. No, I mean, I don't.
31:31
I mean, morals aside, I'm very happy for him.
31:33
I think I someone told me he's dating a pop star now.
31:36
He's such an awesome. He probably treats it like shit.
31:39
Probably what he doesn't, what he doesn't.
31:42
What if the opera? What if his wife was the abusive
31:44
1? And what if he got out of
31:46
abusive? You don't know.
31:46
You don't know what's going on behind these behind the scenes.
31:49
You just assume that he's the bad man.
31:50
What if he was actually he's actually got out of it?
31:53
What you don't know? What if you got out of an
31:54
abusive relationship? Yeah, I've heard about those
31:56
racist songs that he's singing. You know what She told him to
32:00
sing him. That must have been it.
32:02
She must hold him saying. A black people.
32:05
No, I he's he's a see the sack of shit, but he's our sack of
32:08
shit. Maybe those?
32:09
Kids aren't his kids. Oh, OK.
32:11
You know, it's a classic case. Same thing.
32:14
Doesn't matter whoever it is, artists or athletes, whatever,
32:16
if they're performing, you're happy with them.
32:17
But let me go through his game logs.
32:20
Real. Quiet as a psychotic.
32:22
No no during the Austria since Arsenal game 13.51 assist 26.5
32:28
goal and assists 17 points with a goal a 15 points one assist
32:32
against Tottenham 16.75 points had a goal and then this game
32:36
15.75 with an assist he's. Just cream in your head state.
32:39
Elite numbers. Someone offered me.
32:43
I got offered a trade by Nate for him and I and I and.
32:47
I don't think Nate's ever going to be happy with his team.
32:49
He offers trades week in, week out.
32:52
You know what, though, I will say I think he gets the Premier
32:55
League. Well, it says that he knows that
32:57
in the sense that he knows that everything's so up and down.
33:00
So he's constantly just trying to make moves.
33:02
But yeah, he offered me Enzo and I, I was actually, the train
33:05
was, I was super tempted to take it.
33:06
The only reason I didn't is because I already have Cole
33:08
Palmer, Nico Jackson. That's like one like too many
33:10
Chelsea players. After the Liverpool players, I'm
33:12
doing fine. The guy had zero goals or
33:15
assists when he was in the relationship.
33:17
No, I it's. It's the exact.
33:19
Moment that he left his wife yeah, he started playing well
33:21
it's. Literally like since insanity.
33:23
Really, that was an unhealthy family life.
33:26
Clearly that was he was not happy.
33:28
No comment. Keith, does your wife listen to
33:30
the podcast? No, absolutely not.
33:32
That's important, Beth. You know what you need to do if
33:35
you want to go back to first place.
33:36
That's. Funny.
33:38
That was pretty funny. OK Touché 2 Managers Soccer Neo
33:41
Wolves, Russell Martin, Southampton.
33:44
I would take Gary O'Neill in a fucking heartbeat.
33:46
Russell One is again a fucking job in the Premier League.
33:50
Ever. But Gary New will be fine.
33:52
Yeah, he'll go somewhere. I think he's likable and I
33:54
think, I don't know, I like it. It's.
33:56
A young it's a young English manager.
33:58
I think he needs an opportunity. You got kind of, I think he got
34:00
kind of fucked over by the. By the selling of Netzo and
34:04
selling and Killman and Killman. Yeah, they killed.
34:06
They sold two of their best players and didn't replace them
34:08
with anyone. No.
34:10
Terrible OK, moving on some key injury bands lesser goalkeeper
34:14
Hermanson, who's been good. He's like a top 10 keeper.
34:16
He came off injured. That's something to monitor, pal
34:19
Savannah Munez 1 notch band for red card accumulation.
34:23
Nazarawi injured. He just came off to have any
34:25
news there. It's just.
34:27
No, trying to figure out there's no real like, news there, but he
34:29
came off, so monitor that, yeah. Joe Ellington is currently
34:34
injured. This is this is becoming a
34:35
concerning trend with Ellington injuries.
34:38
Yeah. Something to monitor.
34:39
I think that like that makes Barnes and Murphy and players
34:41
like that a little more interesting.
34:42
Yeah. And Bruno as well, Who has been
34:46
playing pretty well because of the injuries as well.
34:48
And the thing with Joel Linton that's interesting, the way you
34:51
look at his body type doesn't look like flimsy at all, like
34:53
this, built like a tank, but he's getting hurt sometimes.
34:55
Those bigger guys, actually, the injuries are worse because
34:58
there's a lot more weight coming down on those ankles, you know,
35:00
like on the thighs and then with stuff.
35:02
But Chelsea defended Cucarella. I don't think it's AI, don't
35:05
think it's one match band. I think it's a one match.
35:06
Was it 2 yellows? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:08
But I mean, he's not super relevant.
35:09
That was his first goal ever, you know.
35:11
I think he's well then he get the assist though too.
35:14
The lost game, yeah. Yeah.
35:15
So like he's been saying, well, he got rid of those Puma Vapor,
35:19
the new shoes. They're not.
35:20
They're not gonna sell those shoes.
35:23
They did another ad with him like after that, yeah.
35:25
They're like, it's not how you fall down, it's how you get up
35:27
some shit like that. Yeah, they're.
35:29
Really working hard change. Change your shoes completely and
35:32
throw them in the bin. Yeah, yeah.
35:33
All right, go on. Carrera within one match band.
35:36
Same reason like yellow card accumulation mid Arsenal's Rice
35:41
with an injury. Do we know how serious that is?
35:42
He came off again, I guess I'll tell you, said he's been dealing
35:45
with not for the last couple weeks.
35:46
So that could be some. It could have just been, you
35:48
know, preventative. You never know.
35:50
Has he underwhelmed this year? A little bit.
35:53
He's definitely gone under the radar because he hasn't had to
35:55
do as he's not been as offensive he was last year he was.
35:58
Popping up with goals and assists last year a little more
36:00
I felt like. And he's taking corners this
36:02
year more consistently so. I think this is what we expected
36:07
him to be last year. I think last year he just had a.
36:09
Yeah, a little bit of an 3 plus season.
36:12
Yeah, yeah. Let's say waivers name on here
36:15
that I'm really liking is Jacob Murphy owned a 38% of leagues
36:19
few huge games back-to-back like huge like 20 plus point games.
36:22
If he's, he's just worth holding cuz A, he's a mid and mids are
36:25
scarce and B, he's, if he's locking in the starting spot for
36:29
Newcastle, like after the last few games, you know, he's
36:31
starting the next game in the proper league.
36:33
There's almost no way he isn't. I think he's just worth having
36:35
and we're seeing how that goes. And you know, we, we've seen a
36:38
lot of him, but I also think that players can improve and you
36:42
know, things change in the season.
36:43
And is it looking good? Yeah, I agree.
36:45
I like Murphy. Murphy's a good player, some big
36:47
numbers the last two games and I think like you said, with the
36:50
injuries in there and he's more of attacking, he likes to get in
36:53
the box. He's he's got a lot of upside.
36:55
Yeah, see, he seems just has a good nose for gold.
36:57
Yeah. Next one is Melasar.
36:58
We talked about him. It's been pretty hit or miss.
37:00
But after that game like that was an incredible game.
37:03
I think the biggest thing, and we talked about the top of the
37:05
show, but just he looks he's starting to look like that said
37:07
that Palestine is starting to see really settled and him and
37:10
Eze playing beneath Mateta kind of really central is pretty
37:14
nice. Like it's, it's pretty fun to
37:16
watch. Like that team is really
37:17
starting to like get their groove, find their groove.
37:19
And a high side gamble on that guy.
37:22
Yeah, it's like you're chasing the form of palace a little bit.
37:25
But I think people have been, people have always rated him
37:29
really highly, just hasn't really worked out anywhere.
37:31
Yeah. So I mean, there is a chance
37:33
that he just really just turns it on with a good support cast
37:35
around him. Yeah, I hear.
37:37
Yeah. I mean, I mean the I like the
37:39
goals he scored. They weren't like these in
37:41
sensational whatevers, but like it was like the first one was
37:43
just like you got to be there. You know, you just just that
37:46
gamble to be at the back post and the second one you're just
37:48
efficient. Hey, I'm with it.
37:51
Next one on the list D Jed, how do you say Jed Spence owed in 1%
37:56
of leagues? I just think this one is it's a
37:58
little bit of like a risky pick, but I think it's a high high
38:00
risk, high reward pick. He looked good.
38:02
It was his first start. But with that, with that injury
38:06
to new doggy, I think he gets in time and yeah.
38:11
And I got to say, I think offensively he's better than a
38:13
doggy you do. Yeah, he's got, he's got better
38:17
delivery, he's got a better outward pass crossed, but he
38:20
will be playing on that left hand side.
38:22
So that's the only thing you got to look at.
38:23
But it's it's a risky one if your dog is out And we'll see.
38:26
But I think he he'll work better.
38:28
And I'm surprised he hasn't played more.
38:29
I think it's because of Poro for the most part, but just Francis
38:32
can play. I mean if he's offensively
38:35
better, isn't Udagi like defensively not been that great?
38:37
Isn't he been pretty responsible for a lot of mistakes?
38:39
Too. Yeah, he's been.
38:40
He's been fouling a lot. So interesting.
38:43
Another name on here. This is probably the most boring
38:45
name you'll ever find on here, but it's just one of those
38:47
efficient guys. Ryan Christie, only 37% of
38:49
leaks. He had a really good game with
38:51
Bournemouth this week. Did you know that game had like
38:53
48 shots or something? It's a crazy amount of shots in
38:56
that game. Yeah, but Ryan Christie had a
38:57
bunch of key passes. He's just one of those efficient
38:59
players. He's never gonna when you're a
39:01
league, but he he could do a lot worse than him off waivers.
39:04
And if you just need someone to fill a hole and get you a few
39:06
points and then I think the number one defender for me is
39:10
Vitali Mikolenko owned 37% of leagues should be rostered.
39:14
I'm never saying by looking like.
39:15
This whole to pick them up. I know, I think I'm really, I
39:18
and Everton are looking like the old stodgy defensive team of
39:21
Sean Dice. You know, it's looking good over
39:24
there and I know they have a tough run of games, but I mean,
39:26
this Everton game made me feel a lot more, I'm sorry, this
39:29
Arsenal game made me feel a lot more confident.
39:30
Everton's ability to just be a pain in the ass.
39:34
Put a fight behind the fucking ball and say try to fucking
39:37
score. Yeah.
39:37
What are you going to do now? Yeah, All right.
39:40
That's waivers, nothing else to talk about.
39:42
There's one more but just from mid switch.
39:46
OK, he's he's at he's 4% owned. He's at 3 double digit games,
39:50
1117.5 and 11.25. They have been against
39:54
Nottingham, Bournemouth and then that Wolves game.
39:56
I think he might be one to look at too.
39:58
If you need a defender, try and ride ride it.
40:00
A defender. OK, Yeah.
40:03
It's a good one. And then one thing not on
40:05
waivers we forgot to talk about during the Manchester Derby.
40:07
No Rashford, no Garnacho they didn't even get.
40:09
Dressed. Yeah, they weren't even in the,
40:11
weren't even in the on the they're.
40:13
Already saying that Russia might be gone in January.
40:16
They're already fucking saying it.
40:17
Where has he got? You said it, bravo.
40:20
I think the same thing. I think he goes to, he goes to
40:23
Italy. Yeah, I don't see him.
40:25
I can see him play for Napoli, I can see him playing for
40:28
internationally, I can see him play for any one of those.
40:31
International. No, it's he's going to PSG.
40:34
You think it would? That could.
40:36
Yeah, I think the PSG, they didn't really change their
40:39
mentality. They're not really recruiting
40:41
those like super expensive players anymore as much as they
40:43
recruiting the young big players, right?
40:45
Yeah, well, they lost. They got, they lost Zimbabwe.
40:47
I think they after losing him for free, I think that was like
40:49
a fuck, you know what I mean? Yeah.
40:51
So all. Right, let's look ahead to it's
40:53
actually we were just going over match week 16.
40:55
This is so it's like I had to match week 17.
40:59
I got my bet already. OK guys, I just want to say
41:01
something because I was pretty devastated by that loss today
41:05
from Bournemouth and I did not like how I was feeling during
41:08
that game. I think I'm done with parlays.
41:11
Parlays. Parlays are a sucker's bat.
41:13
Everyone I've talked to says that parlays are a sucker's bat
41:15
and guess what? We are suckers number 1-2 and
41:18
three, we even. Got suckers after, right?
41:20
You didn't know when parlay was a soccer's bat.
41:22
We haven't won a parlay since week two, well, week 16.
41:26
And also we've got 14 straight weeks of losing every single
41:30
parlay we placed. We need to make some changes,
41:32
guys. We should make some changes.
41:33
So just no more bets. No, I think that we each pick a
41:37
game, a single game, and we don't parlay those games and we
41:40
just try and just play some small ball and get some bets on
41:43
the table out of the week. Each of us have a bat of the
41:46
week, a game of the week. Damn, I had a really good bet.
41:48
Wow, Yeah. I mean, we don't have to do
41:49
this. You can just say both guys.
41:51
About being a Debbie Downer, this guy goes down to the fourth
41:53
in. The standings, all the I know,
41:55
literally just like I just I don't like.
41:57
Both, just because your fantasy team sucks, I like.
41:59
You bet When you were top, yeah, you had some cojones.
42:02
We, we didn't win the single party last year.
42:04
You know you didn't complain last year because you were.
42:07
OK, let's do a party. Let's go.
42:08
Are we going to do the same thing we've been doing?
42:10
So how about this? We don't have because I think
42:13
what the problem is, we, we're greedy people.
42:15
That's gambling by nature. We could even do A2 game parlay.
42:18
Yeah, they were greedy. Like the other thing that we
42:22
haven't spoken about is that after the Tottenham game, we
42:26
were talking about cashing out on our bat because we would have
42:29
gotten 8 to one on our money. So our $10 bat would have been
42:32
cashed out for 80. But then just that temptation of
42:35
one more game for that to go to 155.
42:39
I thought you were going to cash out.
42:40
I actually thought you were going to cash out.
42:42
I was thinking about it, but I just I mean, I just felt like it
42:45
was just the carriage way out. So you.
42:47
Couldn't hedge, you could have hedged.
42:49
Could have done a lot of things, guys.
42:50
So do you want to hear my bet and then I'll think about
42:52
changing it from A33 parlay to A2 game parlay.
42:56
OK, I got Brentford to beat, beat Forest, Brentford's at
42:59
home, they're plus 120. Then I got Wolves to beat
43:02
Leicester, they're plus one semi bounce back game.
43:06
Walls to be last year, OK. And then this is the crazy one
43:09
that I'm might have to take out Tottenham to beat Liverpool.
43:12
They're plus 290. That's plus 2163.
43:16
To bat, it's a That's a That's a big Dick swinging bat right
43:19
there. $10 put it down. All right, 10 bucks to win 237
43:25
that place. Lovely.
43:27
I'll send you the money right now all.
43:28
Right to go, you got. Newcastle to beat Ipswich Town?
43:31
Let me see. Oh, that's an easy bet.
43:33
Nice to like it. -140 I like that OK.
43:36
Well, to beat Palace minus. 160 OK.
43:40
Chelsea to beat everything. OK -165.
43:43
And then Fulham to beat Southampton.
43:46
That was 235, so you're plus 538.
43:50
You like that? I like it.
43:53
OK, risk and tend to win 53 that place.
43:56
All right, let's look at this. There is, you know that.
43:59
Another side I read is that there's only two teams that won
44:03
both in the week 16, in week 15. Do you know those two teams are
44:07
wait? Wait, wait.
44:09
So teams that one in Week 15, in Week 16.
44:13
Chelsea, yes, and. Liverpool.
44:17
No Liverpool. True Newcastle.
44:18
Wait, no. A palace.
44:20
Not in forest. Oh shit.
44:23
But I say that because I think it's just this year more than
44:26
anything it's been, it's been pretty nasty out there.
44:28
So there's not a lot of consistency going on.
44:30
Hence why I got the top a little.
44:35
I got a. Feeling in games.
44:37
I got a feeling OK. I'm going to go for a, I'm going
44:40
to go for a Bradford, Nottingham for his tie.
44:42
You hate that? No, it's it's your bet.
44:45
I mean, I got a friend. Yeah, this is tough.
44:48
Oh my God, Sergey. The the thing I would say about
44:51
Enzo, your bet is that Tottenham and Liverpool play Sunday and
44:54
they played at 8:30. So if you hit everything else
44:56
ahead of that, you could have a cash out option and you could
44:59
hedge it. Yeah, probably.
45:00
Hedge. But has you got to do the tie
45:02
and the, I mean, they're not going to have Liverpool's to do
45:06
it. We all know this.
45:08
Oh well, says. I don't really know what I want
45:11
to do here. I'll do.
45:12
It You don't have to bet if you don't want to, man, if you've
45:14
lost the mojo. You can pick a game.
45:17
You can just pick one game if you like.
45:19
Put like $1000 on Chelsea. Sorry guys, I'm just.
45:22
You want to take on Sergey's bet You see Sergey's, You know what
45:25
he says? Newcastle.
45:26
Newcastle Forest. Newcastle Forest full on.
45:31
Leicester, Leicester and Arsenal.
45:34
Arsenal it's plus 20 and 78. I really wanted to include Mad
45:39
City in my parlay. OK, Because they're plus.
45:42
They are. It's not.
45:43
You don't get City at plus quite often.
45:46
You also don't have them winning only one game and. 11 I was
45:48
actually thinking, imagine like if you just bet against City the
45:51
past ten matches and I'm sure they were like the opponent was
45:55
like largely underdog, you would have made some serious money.
45:58
Surely, OK, I'm, I'm going to do, I'm going to do Sergei's
46:01
bet, which is Leicester, Fulham, Newcastle, Nodding Forest,
46:05
Arsenal plus 2878. What do you know?
46:09
Well, you took his bet, or you just did it for him.
46:12
I just did his. I think I just, I literally just
46:15
want to go with a Brantford Forest straw.
46:18
That's why that. From all the matches and all the
46:21
options, that's the bet you're going.
46:22
What is that? What's What's the old?
46:24
Oh yeah, I'll add city. I'll add city there too.
46:26
No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
46:28
I know. I know how this is going to end.
46:30
Plus 270. So do your brain forget do the
46:33
draw I'm. Going to add the city game, no?
46:34
No, don't add the city game, do the draw because then you're
46:36
going to blame us when when that goes down off the shell.
46:39
Why you? You didn't do anything.
46:41
It's me. Dollars 127 I'm just defeated
46:44
guys. I'm just I'm just a broken man.
46:46
I need to rebuild from the. Who are you playing next week
46:48
mate? Because I know Sergei is playing
46:50
his brother. It's the Barsegain ball.
46:52
It's the Barsegain ball. Who you playing next week?
46:57
You know this is. This is amazing for you.
46:59
Because. You're playing as a body Sancho
47:03
party, but. I think I play.
47:04
Just give me the lick. Yeah, it's funny.
47:06
Just give me the lick. Oh, wait, you're playing
47:09
Richard. Listen.
47:10
I'm playing Richard. Oh wait, I looked.
47:12
I think I skipped. So you skipped too many.
47:15
You know what you need to get, slump Buster?
47:16
Nothing like Derek. I know he lost to the special
47:20
one this week. Oh.
47:21
No shame in that. He was so hot.
47:23
Now he's dropped. All right, let's let's let's
47:25
wrap this up. This has been episode 69 dropped
47:28
off sides. My name is Keith.
47:29
I'm with Tequinenzo. Follow us on all the socials,
47:32
the draft offside and we will see you next week.
47:34
Just one one thing we should have our bets already done
47:37
before. I know sorry I just this was a
47:39
case. No, no, no.
47:40
I'm just saying for the editing because if we're going to do
47:42
video, that whole ending part. I think we just edit out a lot.
47:45
I'll just edit out most of that. Oh, OK.
47:48
Oh, yeah. Thank you guys.
47:49
You guys were on it. Cool.
47:50
I was so excited to do the whole fly thing.
47:53
That was really good. I'm not I.
47:55
Started laughing. That was that was really good.
47:57
The irony is I hate USMNT and all their players.
48:00
Yeah, I kind of thought that I like was shocked that you were
48:02
so. Yeah, anything for the pod.
48:04
Anything for the pod shit, all right.
48:08
Yeah, I'm gonna go figure out how to surgically repair my team
48:11
into being a winning, winning roster.
48:14
Bro, you haven't done anything bad.
48:16
You've been scoring a lot of points.
48:17
It's just your opponent. You're fucking spanking you.
48:20
Yeah, that is it. And you only lost what, two
48:23
games in a row? Yeah, I've lost one and I'm I'm
48:25
not one game streak, but I just, I just can't like get a run
48:28
together. You know, Sergei's been on the
48:30
six, six game-winning streak. Keith.
48:34
Is Gordon available by chance? Anthony good.
48:38
Yeah, for what? I don't know solbus line the
48:41
defender. No, I just made that trade and I
48:43
literally I think I'm losing on that trade too.
48:45
I'm almost had two very good games since I traded.
48:47
Three really good games. Maybe you haven't won a game
48:49
since you've gotten Gordon. I'll give you Solbus Slide and
48:52
the Evan Neilson it's. From no fault from Gordon, he's
48:56
played great. I'm just trying to negotiate.
48:59
I'll give you Evan Nelson and. Evan Nelson slow to fly?
49:03
Probably not that good. I'm not dropping Evan Nelson,
49:05
but I don't know if I'll be starting him next year.
49:06
I'll give you Diaz and a defender I.
49:08
Don't know if I need more for it.
49:10
I have enough headache. I have enough for headaches
49:14
going on. He doesn't want to trade with
49:16
you. Not for the guy I literally just
49:18
traded for it. That's how it worked out super
49:20
well. Have too much pride for that
49:23
one. Who wants anyone one?
49:25
Can I have it? I'll take him.
49:26
What? Are you going to trade me for?
49:28
7 Nielsen No, I want to get I need a midfielder.
49:32
So if you want to part weights with one of your best
49:36
midfielders for one of my average forwards and defenders.
49:40
Sounds like such a good idea. I'm good.
49:45
I'm going to wait. I'm just watch you slope down a
49:47
little bit more. You can chip away at the bottom
49:50
feeders down there. You know, when I was ahead of
49:53
you by a game, it felt more secure because it's technically
49:56
like a game and 1/2. Yeah, yeah, yeah, certainly.
49:58
Yeah. Just because of the points
50:01
scored, even though recently you've been putting up points.
50:03
So it's, you know, the gap has gotten less, but having more
50:07
points is such a huge advantage. It.
50:09
Is it is? It is unless you've lost games
50:12
and those points mean nothing. Which?
50:13
They still mean something because that's how you win my
50:16
points. That's the media.
50:18
Is that is it because I haven't got the?
50:20
I've got the 4th most points? I believe I have the 4th most
50:23
points. Well, that's I just, I don't
50:25
think you have the 4th most, but you're getting up there and.
50:28
I'm pretty sure I got the 4th most.
50:30
Oh, the. 1st 4th best, yeah. And two weeks you play Sergei
50:33
which? He only he's only scored two
50:35
more points than me, mate. But you've also you, you've had
50:37
the almost the second you're like, I have the second lowest
50:42
points against. Because Kyle's had the least
50:44
amount of points scored against him.
50:46
Yeah. Dude kudos has been balling
50:48
since you traded him and when you play Sergei he thinks
50:52
Southampton and Arsenal's playing if switch so.
50:56
And when's that, huh? When is that?
50:59
Two weeks. A lot can happen in two weeks my
51:01
man. A lot can happen in 2.
51:03
Weeks. Just one match.
51:05
What can happen in two week all? Right, I gotta get out here.
51:08
Keith, hey, keep your chin up, all right?
51:09
Don't worry about it.
