UNITED ARE BACK! 🔴 Man Utd vs Leeds Preview | FA Cup Chaos & Maguire’s New Deal · The Fellow Reds Podcast - Manchester United

0:00
How are we fellow Reds? And welcome to this Manchester
0:02
United preview of the upcoming match versus Leeds with those
0:06
spend. And Chaz, before we get into it,
0:09
thank you to our subscribers and followers.
0:11
If you're not a fellow Red, please subscribe or follow.
0:15
We're on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
0:19
We'd love to have you and we want to make sure that you don't
0:21
miss a thing. But Chaz, I'm a bit croaky, but
0:25
we're back to anyone. Yeah, finally.
0:28
I know, I know. 21 days since our last game, A-22 draw at
0:31
Bournemouth. In that time I'm another year
0:34
older. We've both been to the Lakes.
0:37
Separately, still here. You're still there?
0:40
Yeah, separately. And how's things?
0:42
How's things with you? Yeah, well, good.
0:44
Obviously catch up with football, but like obviously
0:50
it's not the same when United aren't playing.
0:51
So I'm around with the competitions that are playing.
0:55
So yeah, it's I'd like to say it's been nice not to have
1:00
anything going on and switch off from football.
1:01
And so far it's just annoying, isn't it, when we're not
1:04
playing. So I'll be honest, I've missed
1:05
it. So looking forward to the game
1:07
on on on Monday you. Say you missed me, is that what
1:11
you meant? No, no, no.
1:14
Standard yeah, voice is struggling a little bit and no
1:19
extra love from chess there as always, but going to do my very
1:23
best to get through this today because as Chess said, very,
1:26
very excited to be back. Man United is back and a lot to
1:29
talk about before we dive into the the game preview.
1:34
Quite a bit has happened obviously in the 21 days since
1:36
we've we've been away and since the last game.
1:39
First of all, FA Cup, some very, very tasty results.
1:43
So the fixture that we, the fixture that we hate, first of
1:46
all, CTV, Liverpool, there's no winners for us in that one, but.
1:49
Yeah, they didn't both lose the day.
1:52
Yeah, City 4, Liverpool nil. Yeah, he's on the road, surely,
1:58
isn't he? It's actually after this
2:00
champions, Champions League results as well.
2:03
You've got to think like, sure, they're lining up.
2:07
What's to say Alonso for the summer, surely.
2:10
Yeah, it's I feel that the the fans have given up on him a
2:14
little bit now from what I'm. Yeah, I think so.
2:16
And seeing as well almost himself, he seems the way he's
2:19
talking now just seems to be a little bit.
2:21
Like he's resigned, right? Yeah. 111 foot out.
2:26
I didn't watch the game, but it sounds like they obviously they
2:28
got obviously got battered, but it always sounds like they gave
2:30
up in the second-half, which, yeah, where's that famous
2:36
Liverpool spirit and stuff? Look how?
2:41
Look how happy you were when you were saying that.
2:43
Yeah, yeah. I've been great, yeah, Van Dyke
2:45
admitted it, didn't he? He said that the.
2:47
Yeah, Yeah. In the second-half.
2:50
Not good, but keeping, yeah. Don't hear you catch me saying
2:52
that, do you? Yeah, no, no, he did another
2:56
little back turn for the for the for one of the goals in the week
2:59
as well for. People, yeah.
3:00
Never been dribble past. Never been dribble past.
3:03
Because he doesn't try to tackle anyone, he just runs away from
3:07
them, turns his back. Best Premier League defender
3:09
ever, apparently. Nonsense.
3:12
And they were lucky. Nonsense.
3:13
Yeah. Should have been 4 at least.
3:16
Yeah, yeah, I saw a bit and zero shot and target.
3:21
Yeah, yeah, I had a bet on and it was like a shots and target 1
3:26
and I had I had like do a, I can't say his name, he's really
3:34
good, kind of Australia and then another PSD player and the goal
3:39
scorer do a all I wanted. All I needed was one shot on
3:44
target for I think it was robust line shotgun.
3:48
Oh, I'm picking all the ones I got to his name.
3:49
So and that's what nothing has stopped me from winning £11180
3:53
or not. So even more annoying.
3:55
Gutted. Gutted.
3:56
Yeah. Obviously I'm happy, yeah.
3:59
Of course, a bit more sabotage from the fellow Reds there,
4:02
which I, which I, yeah. Exactly and.
4:04
There's much to enjoy it. Let's move past Liverpool, but
4:06
then Chelsea 7 nil Port Vale, obviously a game they should
4:09
win, but good result. Yeah, yeah.
4:12
That's such a weird team. Anyway, David Brent coming up
4:16
with more corkers this week with Enzo as well, right?
4:19
Which is just mentioned. The word Madrid is like that.
4:22
Two games suspended. All right, He's an oddball.
4:27
He's an oddball. Yeah.
4:29
I'm here for him now. He's he's enjoyable.
4:31
It makes it interesting and it makes it gives us to talk about
4:34
other podcasts as well, so. Yeah, exactly.
4:36
Keep. It going West Ham 2 Leeds too.
4:39
I watched that game as well. Bonkers.
4:41
Obviously Leeds look like they were cruising through.
4:44
Yeah, home and dry, right? Yeah, yeah.
4:45
Mad was it? 91 and 98 isn't it?
4:48
Was it less than 90? Something like that?
4:49
They're both not both post 90, right?
4:52
It's. Crazy.
4:53
But then obviously Leeds pulled through penalties at the end.
4:55
So I don't like, I think it was almost one of those games where
4:58
do you want you also want to go through.
5:00
But if you don't go through, you have more time to prepare as a
5:04
relegation battle team. So like even if you did lose
5:08
that, obviously momentum is probably better, but having one
5:11
less game than Arrival, maybe they're positive as well.
5:15
Yeah, nice, Ben. I just think surely you know, FA
5:18
Cup crack, like they just got to go for Ave. and see what
5:20
happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
5:22
definitely some some plus on that game as well.
5:25
I'll really like the young West Ham keeper coming on and he had
5:28
a bit of shit housery about him as well at the penalty.
5:30
Yeah, loving his moment. And he saved that one penalty
5:33
and I thought he was going to be the hero, but wasn't to be.
5:37
And dirty leads, which we'll get to in a bit in a bit, obviously
5:41
got through. So so yeah.
5:44
And then I know we get in trouble for talking about this
5:46
team and this podcast. No, that's talks about them.
5:48
Aren't we Southampton 2 Arsenal won out of the FA.
5:54
Yes, lovely stuff and apparently like obviously I know you
5:58
watched it and you were watching it with Southampton fan as well,
6:01
so you must have been loving it. But fully deserved, right?
6:05
Yeah, and I can't read the name of the striker who scored his
6:10
name. He could be the lately it will
6:13
shout for a Scotland caller and she's Scottish.
6:17
So every night you like, I only saw the highlights of that game
6:20
but he looked decent as well. So it sounds like yeah, I only
6:24
watched the highlights, but Southampton kind of fully
6:26
deserved it and this, this wheels coming off for Arsenal is
6:31
enjoyable view. Yeah, I mean, I'll get in
6:34
trouble for saying that on the pod, but I did celebrate it
6:36
almost like a Southampton fan because it just was mad.
6:38
Yeah, I think my my mate, who is a Saints fan, he was almost like
6:41
checking with me as if it was like I said, look, this isn't a
6:44
smash and grab. You've more than deserved this.
6:47
They played really well. They're Brazilian CN Zero.
6:51
I can't probably get his name wrong as well, but he was so
6:53
good as well on the on the on the wing there he was fantastic
6:57
player so. They smashed Wrexham every day
7:02
as well to to get into the playoff spots, so they're on a
7:05
bit momentum as well now. Few trips to Wembley, maybe.
7:09
Yeah, yeah, playoffs for them. But yeah, looks like obviously
7:13
very, very enjoyable because the draw they've had as well in
7:16
that, in that competition, competition in all their cup
7:18
competitions. To be fair, they think there is
7:20
in Mansfield, Stockport St. basically like League 2 and
7:26
League One teams throughout and then championship in the quarter
7:29
final. I think they just follow as a
7:31
foregone conclusion. They just didn't turn up and
7:34
Southampton did and yeah, absolutely love it.
7:37
So yeah, very pleased with that result.
7:40
I I'm here for it, I'm here for it.
7:41
But yes, Southampton match through and then that means that
7:44
the draw for the semi finals is City V Southampton and then
7:49
Chelsea V Leeds. I said quite a few weeks ago
7:52
that I think Chelsea are going to win it.
7:53
I don't. I'm still I'm still backing them
7:55
for some reason. You I think, I think City are
8:00
getting a bit of momentum or so. They won the League Cup, they
8:03
then smash Liverpool like they might just be turning on.
8:07
It's probably a bit too late for them to be turning on and found
8:09
start scoring again to win the league, but I think I probably
8:13
put them as the ones going to win this cup.
8:17
You don't think David Brent's can have his moment in Wembley?
8:20
Nah, I think he'd try and do something stupid in the final.
8:24
Enzo's goalkeeper, some sort of team building.
8:28
Talking of stupid coaching Pengate, Oh, I love the
8:35
nonsense. Yeah, what even?
8:38
I still don't know what that is. What I don't know what?
8:41
It is thinking, what am I actually seeing here?
8:43
I don't know what they're doing with these pens and I don't know
8:45
what they're. Doing it makes no sense because
8:47
you never need, you never want to be a pen away from your
8:50
teammate at any point on the pitch of them.
8:53
Like the way corners stuff. I don't know what it is.
8:55
It's. Mad it's one of them, like they
8:58
just have to win the league now because if they don't, yeah, so
9:01
much stuff there like a compilation.
9:04
I can just see it now, just some video of all the the nonsense
9:07
it's going. To it'll be the biggest, biggest
9:09
bottle job in history, 100% from the quadruple a few weeks ago
9:15
now down to just the double. But looking at PSG and by and in
9:22
the Champions League anyway, that's good.
9:26
Like tough, tough teams there who who play all play very good
9:29
football. And I think, yeah, I think maybe
9:35
just the Premier League is probably the best you're going
9:37
to get out of this season. Yeah, I can see, I can see some
9:41
more wobbles, but we'll we'll watch closely and we'll.
9:44
Yeah, yeah. We will be going over it in this
9:48
podcast for sure, but other news Arsenal's rivals Spurs Deserbie
9:54
in yeah, in the last part, but now it's confirmed he's their
9:58
manager mad one obviously a longer term contract with them
10:01
sitting precariously at the bottom of the league.
10:03
So. Yeah.
10:04
So in games, yeah, it's, I don't know, I guess they're just
10:10
hoping that he's the kind of manager he's very fiery, right,
10:14
And gets players going but also causes arguments.
10:17
But maybe they're thinking that's what they need is someone
10:21
to kind of shake them. But I don't have that kind of
10:23
team which has it in them. I still, I still think they
10:26
might go down. What can he do in seven games
10:30
and where how many training sessions they have?
10:32
Like, well, there'll be an interesting one to watch and
10:34
apparently he will stay if they're in the championship, but
10:38
probably on an absolute wedge, though I'm not sure how they're
10:40
paying for that. I.
10:42
Was going to say that there must be millions of reasons why he's
10:45
taking that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:48
Fair play. I'd be interested to watch that
10:49
one as well. But.
10:50
Yeah. Definitely attention to our
10:53
beloved Manchester United. A few things to talk about
10:55
before we get into the preview. Harry Maguire one more year and
10:59
the option of the year after that.
11:03
Yeah, for that, yeah, I think he deserves it.
11:06
And he obviously had that spareware like, but it was a
11:11
long time ago and it was probably like 3.
11:13
Was it 3-4 years ago that he had that kind of bad spell and it
11:16
like, and a bad spell and a bad team as well?
11:19
Like we did cost us some goals, things and that.
11:22
But since then, really he's been the top professional and also on
11:27
the pitch and off the pitch and everything he's been doing.
11:30
So yeah, I think he deserves that contract.
11:32
And I was happy to see him. So Max, I think he's he knows
11:36
where he sits in the squad and he's just ready to step up
11:39
whenever he needs to. And you don't see a drop off.
11:42
So obviously the Lick's been out and you haven't seen and he's
11:45
probably one of our best players started this season.
11:47
And then to see McGuire come in and not really see much of AA
11:51
drop off, if any, I think it's kind of yeah, testament to his
11:55
to his skills and and stuff. So yeah, happy to see that.
11:58
Yeah, I'll hold my hands up like pre podcast.
12:00
I've definitely had my moments with McGuire where I've been
12:02
like thank you. That'll be that'll be all and
12:05
you go. But yeah, he's been immense, you
12:09
know, not even just recently, you know, for for months and
12:11
months now. And he's, as you said, totally
12:14
deserves this, this contract and what he's been through is such a
12:17
good story and I just hope he can end it.
12:19
I'm actually can end it with like a with a Premier League
12:21
Jazz. Yeah, that'd be nice.
12:25
A quote for you. I am arguably one of the best
12:28
defenders in the world in both boxes.
12:31
Henry McGuire. I guess like Airily, you percent
12:37
probably agree with that. I guess that's what he's
12:40
meaning, like one-on-one defending in the box.
12:43
Maybe not quite agree with that. Like if a player shifts it
12:47
quickly in front of him, do I back him to get a crossword pit?
12:50
Probably not as much as some other defenders, but like Airily
12:54
and yeah, 100% agree. Yeah, I like it.
12:58
Let him have his moment and. I also like his yeah, like his
13:01
confidence and yeah, I think I just shows how he's playing at
13:04
the on the pitch. It's reflected in his comments
13:07
as well. Yeah, yeah, Goodman, Goodman and
13:11
suspended obviously for the game on Monday, which we'll talk
13:13
about in a bit, but yeah, yeah, yeah, very, very deserved.
13:16
And then obviously ahead of the game, we've we've been in Dublin
13:20
on a on a training camp, apparently, yeah, yeah, Big
13:23
three big training sessions and long stints in the gym.
13:28
I've seen on socials. Where's that pub tennis?
13:31
So that's good. We've got certain temple, bar,
13:34
the gym. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
13:38
A lot of head tennis stuff on socials and apparently Bruno and
13:41
Cunha are the Champions of that, which is probably no surprise.
13:44
Don't surprise me now. Yeah, and also apparently just
13:48
some golf and clay pigeon chewing they've been doing as
13:51
well. Who's your Who's your money on
13:54
being the best golfer? Oh, did you see Lemons has
13:58
actually been on socials recently and hitting a few golf
14:01
balls? Oh, really?
14:02
Looks well, I can see it. He's up there.
14:05
I think that's the cool thing, but I think he mentioned who
14:08
might be that. I reckon someone like Tom Heaton
14:10
would be a good golfer. Yeah, because he doesn't play
14:13
football. Yeah, got a lot of time anyway.
14:16
You got a lot of time, stake keeper.
14:18
Yeah, but. Yeah, with the with the golf and
14:21
clay pigeon shooting, I'm wondering as well if we score on
14:23
Monday when we score on Monday. Sorry.
14:26
Any celebrations? Any related celebrations do you
14:28
reckon from the golf or clay pigeon?
14:30
When he scores, Kuni is surfing, right?
14:34
Yeah, maybe 11 scores. Long, long goal kick.
14:38
Windy night just carries in. We're not far from you doing the
14:42
CUNY celebration, are we? How about it was?
14:47
21 time it changes 21. I actually got.
14:49
I actually don't remember what it was.
14:50
Nothing like work. Well, let's have a little watch
14:53
out for some some clay pigeon shooting celebrations on on
14:57
Monday. That'd be good.
14:59
And then quite importantly, even though we've been having a bit
15:02
of fun with them, Arsenal's late winner against Sporting means
15:05
that 5th is enough for Champions League football.
15:07
To be fair, I don't even want to be thinking about that as a, as
15:10
a possibility for us. I want to cement, I want to be
15:12
cementing that third position and look up.
15:14
I actually caught a, an interview with Steve Holland
15:17
recently where he was saying exactly the same, you know, Man
15:19
United, we should be looking up, looking to finish as high as we
15:22
can. And I totally agree.
15:23
But it's nice to have that extra, extra safety net.
15:26
Hopefully that that fifth spot now does, you know, guarantee
15:30
Champions League as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:34
We shouldn't be worrying about that.
15:35
And I think going to win on Monday just kind of helps put
15:39
further distance behind thinking about 5th and focusing on 3rd
15:44
and above. Definitely solidifying that
15:48
there. I think I read on BBC that
15:49
there's a way that I remember the calculations or the
15:53
combinations, but we can have 11 English teams in Europe next
15:58
year. Yeah, it needs to be like, I
16:04
think like Miller need to win the Europa League, Palace need
16:07
to win the conference. I think Liverpool have to win
16:11
the Champions. Obviously not happening and I
16:14
don't want that to happen. But yeah, like mad.
16:16
Like we could actually have 11 because like you, obviously I
16:19
think if you win the Conference League, you get into Europa
16:21
League. And then obviously if you win
16:22
the Europa League at Champions League, and then if you win the
16:25
Champions League but finish outside the top five, then you
16:27
get a championing spot and it all shifts down.
16:30
So yeah, you can go all the way down to 11 and you I think we'll
16:33
probably still have like 7 or 8 European spots next year,
16:37
particularly because I think maybe Villa might actually
16:41
nothing came with his face. Henry likes to win his his
16:44
straight. He doesn't think so probably.
16:47
Well that'll be if he wins that as well, like the 4th or 5th
16:49
time he's when he win it. Unreal.
16:52
Unreal, yeah. Want us to come back now and
16:56
really hit the ground running, you know, with seven points
16:58
ahead of Chelsea and six with seven games and 21 points to
17:01
play for. So there's still a lot to play
17:03
for, but Liverpool, Chelsea, so inconsistent as well that you
17:06
think a few points and just make that task a little bit easier.
17:09
Because you got to play it both of them as well, so.
17:11
Yeah, yeah. And.
17:13
I think those games, like it'd be nice to have those games come
17:16
in and they almost don't. They aren't like a must win
17:22
because we've already got the gap, which I think is probably
17:24
possible. Like you're about to say is that
17:26
they're both slipping up. So hopefully they won't be
17:30
important games and then we can go and relax and then smashing
17:33
both 8 nil. Yeah, I love that.
17:36
To be fair, I also love it if we go with some on it and we can
17:38
just literally end their hopes as well, you know what I mean?
17:41
Yeah, true dent their hopes and it is a big fixture because I'm
17:45
excited to play them at the. Minute I still have an outside
17:48
dream of. I've mentioned it on one of our
17:49
first podcasters if we say we beat Liverpool.
17:53
And if it is, it's that May and Everton go above them because of
17:56
that or something like that. Because Everton are still, I
17:58
think they only got 3, three points behind them.
18:01
Three points behind it is, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:03
So that could be amazing. And we called it a long time ago
18:06
so. Yeah, I would like that.
18:08
I would like that. But yeah, let's focus on
18:11
ourselves and let's get into it. So Leeds, Leeds, Leeds on Monday
18:16
night. So Monday, 8:00 PM in the UK,
18:19
Old Trafford, we're back. I'm going to be there.
18:22
Very excited to be to be back. And also it's on Sky Sports
18:27
Monday Night Football as well. So bit of a shame that we have
18:30
to wait all weekend and then obviously we're playing, but at
18:34
least we'll know kind of where we're at.
18:35
And then there's been a few few slip UPS by then as well.
18:39
It's always a big game, right? Yeah, exactly, exactly.
18:42
They just come with so much fire and passion and hate, let's be
18:45
honest towards. Yeah, I think the feeling's
18:48
pretty mutual. So looking forward to it.
18:52
In terms of Leeds. So when we last played, Ellen
18:55
Rd. won one, but if you remember it, but Cunha kind of rescued
18:58
that point. It wasn't a a great hammer in
19:01
game, unfortunately. Yeah, Yeah, they're sitting in
19:04
15th, four points above West Ham, obviously in the relegation
19:08
zone, and they're six points away from Palace, above them in
19:10
14th. Could they go down Leeds?
19:14
I think I think they just got a bit too much about them.
19:17
Like even just again, we've mentioned spares before.
19:21
I just got because our leads have just more fight.
19:24
So even if they're not playing well, like I guess they've just
19:27
kind of got that a bit more aggression and fight in them,
19:30
which can maybe nick in the win. So I think they'll be all right.
19:34
They'll obviously get smashed on Monday, but they'll be able to
19:38
recover in and win at some point down the line.
19:41
I think. So yeah, I think that'd be fine.
19:42
You're. Giving away your prediction.
19:44
And also when you got also once you got a goal scorer, we should
19:48
do have a premier goal scorer, which is often the issue when
19:51
you're down at the bottom sort of clubs, you don't have someone
19:53
you can back to to pick up 10 to 15 goals.
19:56
They've got that, which I think is we'll probably carry them
19:58
over the line. Yeah, I think they'll have
20:01
enough. I think they'll have enough
20:03
their last three games just to give us a bit of insight into
20:05
them. Obviously they beat West Ham in
20:06
the FA Cup, as you mentioned on pens.
20:09
They look comfortable, apart from the last year, like
20:11
madness. Yeah, there.
20:12
Should be a formality, that game, yeah.
20:14
Exactly, Yeah. And before that they drew nil,
20:17
nil at home to Brentford. And before that, they drew.
20:20
Everyone. At Palace they've leads have
20:25
drawn 12 times, which is the second most after Bournemouth.
20:29
Yeah, I was going to say that's like those two results that if
20:31
you look at them on paper, you know, a point at Palace and
20:34
Brentford, decent results for teams which are kind of
20:37
scrapping around in the relegation zone.
20:39
So I'd say that form they have is pretty good for a team down
20:45
there. So like I said, I think they'll
20:47
be fine, but. Those are all points make a
20:52
massive difference, but to give us to give us a bit of
20:56
confidence going into our game. They have only won one away game
20:58
all season. I don't want to jinx that at
21:00
all. Might come back to bite me on
21:02
the ass however. Who's that?
21:03
Against. I'm going to say no, I think it
21:10
was or maybe a Brentford. Where do I hear it?
21:14
Can't remember. I'll dig it out.
21:15
Who cares? Yeah who cares, But hopefully
21:20
that doesn't become two at Old Trafford and we have to do them
21:24
as you say, team news. To be fair, few injuries on
21:27
their side from what I've read so far.
21:29
So Stack Roden out, both injured in the FA Cup win.
21:33
What I'm quite happy about is Dan James is out.
21:36
Don't wish any ill in him but I I hate former players coming
21:39
back to haunt us so. Yeah, yeah, he's always got a
21:41
screamer in him, isn't he? As well as he showed for Leeds,
21:44
as he showed for Wales a few weeks ago.
21:46
Screamer are absolutely rapid. Yeah.
21:50
So. Yeah, he is.
21:53
I was quite relieved about that and I'm going to butcher some of
21:56
these names, but Bijel Okafor and Goodman Munson are doubts
22:01
for the game as well. Again, just kind of naming names
22:04
there just so they've got a few, a few people.
22:05
Yeah, yeah. And I guess, I guess the other
22:07
question for them as well as around their goalkeeper.
22:09
So Perry's been starting in the FA Cup, but Darlow's been
22:12
playing in the Prem. So there's a bit of a question
22:14
mark on maybe who who starts at Trafford.
22:17
But whoever does, I hope they just.
22:20
Have us stumbles, yeah? Yeah, I think wants to watch
22:25
jazz from your point of view. Obviously Calvert Lewin is the
22:29
main one that comes to mind and I think obviously he's injured,
22:36
but I think stacks a decent player as well.
22:39
Otherwise he's not playing as good.
22:41
So yeah, Calvert Lewin is probably the main threat.
22:44
So keeping quiet, I think you're probably we should be all right.
22:51
What do you think? I agree.
22:52
Calvert Lewin almost a United player as well.
22:55
Yeah, I think he would have been a good, a good addition.
22:57
I'll be honest, especially the Harry's played.
23:00
He's not been injured all season.
23:02
And that's I think the main reason teams, bigger team stayed
23:04
away from him is not because of his his his qualities, but
23:07
because of his injury record. And I think whatever they've
23:10
done to keep him fit has worked and they've got the rewards for
23:14
it. And so, yeah, he's the main
23:15
threat, I mean, to keep an eye on, I think.
23:20
Yeah, for me as well, I'd say Aaronson, tricky customer.
23:23
He's obviously the guy that scored against us, Ellen Rd. and
23:27
he's just a bit, he's a bit nippy and you know, he's got
23:29
some some ability with the ball at his feet.
23:31
So just one I've got my eye on. But hopefully we'll they'll have
23:34
a very, very quiet, quiet time of things at Trafford and on to
23:40
us. So updates you've had a bit of
23:42
rest. We've had 20 odd days so.
23:45
Yeah, recovery, yeah. Yeah, Martinez looks like a good
23:49
one in terms of back. Fingers crossed.
23:52
Yeah. Yeah, quite suspended.
23:54
I think we know that Mathias Delict is is out for.
23:58
I think he might just, yeah, I reckon they maybe just going,
24:02
yeah, let's just let whatever it is with your back, let's just
24:04
heal up completely and then start again next season.
24:08
Yeah. Because he doesn't have that
24:10
good relationship with the Dutch team.
24:12
I feel like he's not desperate to come back either.
24:14
Yeah, I'd agree. I'd agree.
24:17
Mason Mount apparently back to full fitness, which is good.
24:20
I hope he can have a proper run at things and see.
24:23
Good little one to have off the bench.
24:26
Really good, really good. Love his attitude and I just
24:28
wish him all the best in terms of a proper run now just to have
24:32
a crack at a crack at this opportunity.
24:35
Balon Dogu, he's on his way back.
24:38
I've got a feeling yeah, might be too soon for him.
24:41
I think maybe bench. Yeah.
24:43
Potentially, but because I saw saw the training pitches that
24:46
you know, him and Martinez. So yeah.
24:50
But like you said, I think Martinez is probably going to
24:53
he's definitely on the bench if if not starting, I'd say.
24:58
But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Balon.
24:59
I'll be back. But yeah, I think maybe it's one
25:02
game too early. I'd agree, I'd agree and just to
25:05
mention and Bueno and Cesco obviously withdrew from
25:08
international duty, but it looks like they're OK as well, not as
25:12
bad as Arsenal. How many did they withdraw?
25:14
Was it 11? 11 was genuinely 11.
25:17
Absolute joke. But then The thing is at the end
25:20
of the day, they got the win, didn't they got the win, got the
25:22
big win against seven. Oh Oh no they didn't.
25:25
Oh, worth it. That was secret Arsenal.
25:28
People who who watch this and listen to this like no vendetta
25:32
against Arsenal. It just, we can't help it.
25:34
All these things you keep doing, we have to talk about it.
25:37
You know what I mean? Who else has dropped eleven
25:39
players? If they're outlets know, we'll
25:41
talk about them as well. But it's funny and I've not seen
25:44
any other teams running about the place with pens, have you?
25:48
Yeah, I haven't, I haven't. So look, look, if it happens,
25:52
we're going to talk about it. So I'm sorry and I'm sorry and
25:56
it's going to carry on, right predicted line actually given a
26:00
little bit away. What's what's yours, Chaz?
26:03
Lemons ago I'm assuming Shaw's back fully fit so I have Shaw
26:10
left back and again I'm hoping Martinez is fit.
26:15
So Martinez and Euro and then download right back and then
26:20
same old Casimiro Bruno and and Kobe in midfield and then I'm
26:30
going to go Cesco. It's kind of I don't know what
26:38
he's going to do or not. I'm going to go Cesco at top
26:41
junior and I'm going to go Brian and then I'm out on the bench
26:46
you've. Nicked my team.
26:48
Hang on. Yeah.
26:50
That's that's exactly what I'm thinking as well, yeah.
26:52
I just, I just don't know whether I really hope he does
26:54
play Cesco because I just don't think the the brown thing's been
26:59
working now for a while. So I think Cesco deserves to
27:03
start, but that's the only one I'm not certain he will do.
27:07
But let's really do what I hope he does.
27:10
I think he'll do that, but we'll see.
27:14
Same teams have we got the same score?
27:16
What are you going for? Three nil United, Yeah, I don't
27:22
think, I don't really. I think like I said, I think we
27:25
if you can keep Outland quiet, I don't think they'll score.
27:31
So I'm going Cesco for two and then a Bruno penalty.
27:38
Nice. And Bruno's getting Bruno's
27:39
getting one assist as well. Very good.
27:42
I was just about to ask you who's scoring for Leeds, which
27:44
is crazy, but yeah, three nil. Love it.
27:47
All right, mine's mine's a bit. I would absolutely love it.
27:50
It's three nil and I will definitely be enjoying myself on
27:53
Monday. If so, I'm slightly concerned it
27:56
might be a little bit of rust and obviously Leeds have played
27:59
a bit more recently as well. I think.
28:02
I think we're going to win. I just got this down as 2/1 and
28:05
I had and Guemo and Cesco to score and then I had my 1:00 to
28:09
watch Aaronson to score for Leeds.
28:12
OK. Well, we'll put the bets on.
28:14
We'll see. Yeah, yeah, good reminder.
28:16
Let's make sure we get. That I don't.
28:17
I don't care if Eva versus is correct to be there.
28:21
Yeah. As long as you, as long as you
28:22
win. Exactly, exactly.
28:25
OK, brilliant, great. There are some other juicy ish
28:29
games from the weekend. So Chelsea V City is kind of a
28:34
it's a good one for us, isn't it really?
28:35
In terms of, do we, do we want to win that just to keep Chelsea
28:38
down? Yeah, it's also I kind of do
28:42
want a bit of AI, want that City, Arsenal going to be a bit
28:46
juicy and if Chelsea beat them and there's a big gap is it
28:49
stops being like that. So I think for the gap on
28:52
Chelsea and I don't think we'll catch City.
28:56
So I think, yeah, I think I prefer City.
29:00
Win there and solidify third spot.
29:05
Yeah, I hate myself for even thinking it, but saying it.
29:08
But yeah, I agree with you. I think just get Chelsea damaged
29:12
a bit further, make that so fast.
29:14
I want a bit juicy, get them wobbling a little bit more.
29:17
I think unfortunately, you know, second place for us is probably
29:20
out of sight, isn't it? And I'll be very happy.
29:22
I think we have to remember like how good finishing third would
29:25
be based on, you know, where we've come from and the mess we
29:29
were in. So don't want to be too greedy.
29:31
But yeah, I can see, I can see a City win for that one.
29:35
And then the only other fixture of note probably is Deserve his
29:38
first game which is away at Sunderland, so tricky 1.
29:41
Yeah, it's a tough one. Like obviously Sunderland have
29:44
dropped off like a fair bit from where they were doing the star
29:47
the season, but picked up obviously a good win in the in
29:52
the Derby a few weeks back. So yeah, it's not an easy first
29:56
game like and I think Sunderland right now, you don't concede
30:03
many and they'll be I think the actually will be good because
30:07
everyone kind of likes the chaos and comedy of Spurs maybe going
30:11
down. So I think it'll make for a good
30:13
atmosphere and like it was just interesting to see, say someone
30:16
score early. How did the Spurs players react
30:19
with deserving? So that'll be, yeah, it would be
30:21
an interesting one to watch. Definitely want to watch.
30:24
Yeah. I'm intrigued to see how this is
30:25
going to go. Obviously there's a chance that
30:27
he just comes on his White Horse and, you know, saves spurs and
30:30
all that kind of good stuff. But yeah, yeah, there's another
30:35
chance of it going the complete opposite way.
30:37
Very wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:39
I'm here for the chaos. All right, cool.
30:42
Just before we finish, as always at the end of a preview
30:45
challenge, Chaz Trivia. I'm feeling pretty confident for
30:48
you on this one. It's two parts actually.
30:52
Yeah, I am setting you up for a fail because it's funny for me
30:55
and the. It's a trick question.
30:57
Yeah, if I say it's really, really easy and then you mess.
30:59
Yeah, and I mess it up, Yeah. So Leeds obviously at Old
31:06
Trafford on Monday. My question is for you, Charles,
31:10
to name three players that we have signed from Leeds.
31:15
Cantona. Correct.
31:18
Alan Smith, Smudge. Correct.
31:22
And did we sign Rio from the We did to me Rio.
31:26
Correct. There are if you want to bash.
31:32
I mean, I don't know, you know, all all this sort of era, my
31:36
era. You got to go back.
31:42
Did not be styles. No.
31:50
How far back? Give me a Give me a decade.
31:53
I don't know why all these things end up pointing to you in
31:56
Scotland, but they do. I didn't even plan this but it
32:02
ended up being a Scottish thing again basically.
32:04
Give me a decade. A decade.
32:08
Yeah, come on, my my 80s nineties.
32:11
We're talking about the 70s. Oh God, my knowledge of the 70s
32:17
football is not good. No, I know, I know.
32:20
This is a tricky 1. Gordon's tracking.
32:24
You know what? I've actually just only just
32:25
realized he's not a good He's not a Gordon's tracking.
32:27
However, the first name's right and it's 3 Scots.
32:34
Gordon the Gopher. Flash Gordon.
32:41
Is that your guess? We think Gordon's from the 70s.
32:51
I can't even give you, I can't even give you music clues.
32:54
So yeah, you might stick with stick with Gordon.
32:58
And then a surname has a band that sang Bohemian Rhapsody in
33:03
it. Oh.
33:04
Gordon McQueen. Yeah, there's, there's one.
33:07
Yeah, I'll give you the other two just to put everyone out on
33:12
the misery because, yeah, Joe Jordan.
33:16
Oh yeah, he was ex Portsmouth and this is a manager who's had
33:20
read that, wouldn't he? Hard man.
33:21
Yeah, they're tough, to be fair. These and then Arthur Graham.
33:26
Yeah, I'll be honest. I was never getting him, never
33:29
getting them. Just everything just ends up
33:31
being a little Scottish question for you.
33:32
I don't know why, but it is. And then I just said this is not
33:35
a question. I just thought, well, I had this
33:37
up. I was thinking about this and I
33:39
thought I'd pose it to you and pose it to the audience.
33:41
So please pop this in the comments.
33:43
And first of all, this is an easy one to answer.
33:45
And I was like, actually, I don't know if I know the answer
33:47
myself, but who? Who was the best signing?
33:51
Rio Ferdinand, not Eric Cantona. I guess Eric Cantona started the
33:59
whole resurgence of United and winning US league and I saw this
34:07
like if you look at his stats, you're like obviously people
34:11
obsessed with stats these days. My guard is goals and system
34:15
rubbish was like if you look at the games where we won one nil
34:19
that wants the title, he basically scored all them.
34:21
There's like 8 of them or seven of them and it won like 7 or 8
34:24
games. So I don't know if you didn't
34:26
have Canton, if we didn't sank Cantona, would we have won those
34:31
early leagues? Maybe not and then would would
34:35
have happened if you know what I mean.
34:38
So I'm probably going to say Cantona just because I think it
34:44
was started in terms of actual play and what they delivered on
34:47
the pitch over a long period of time.
34:48
And you'd say Rio because he was there longer and one more.
34:52
But I think, yeah. But maybe without Cantona being
34:55
the catalyst for like, Fergie's new United, then yeah, maybe Rio
35:02
would have signed for Chelsea or you know what I mean?
35:06
Something like that. So yeah, I'm going to go
35:07
Cantona. Very good.
35:09
I like the thinking. I like the thinking that, yeah,
35:12
would Rio Ferdinand have happened without Canton?
35:14
Now that's a good one. Yeah.
35:16
Yeah. I love the king and what a guy,
35:19
what a footballer, what a personality.
35:21
But I think I actually when I thought about it, I went real
35:24
just because the job he did at the back there and you know,
35:28
just the type of centre half he was as well.
35:31
Yeah, him and Viditch were insane together, weren't they?
35:34
Amazing. But yeah, that's very difficult
35:36
to answer, so I thought I'd just pose it to you as a little.
35:38
Yeah, good. Question.
35:40
Extra question, what do you guys think?
35:42
Let us know in the comments as well.
35:44
Rio Arcanteda. I might be in daft even
35:46
suggesting Rio over the King. Maybe, maybe.
35:49
But yeah, good reasoning from Jazz there.
35:51
I like it, I like it. But yeah, let's leave it there,
35:54
Charles. We are back.
35:56
Football's back, Premier League's back.
35:58
It's funny that to me, football doesn't really happen.
36:00
I count if Man United's not in it.
36:02
So I know there has been, but not in my world.
36:04
But I'm very, very excited for Man United to be back on Monday.
36:08
Excited to be there. So I'll try and bring you some
36:10
footage as well, from pre and post game maybe.
36:14
But yeah, please give us your comments.
36:15
What do you think? Answer to the trivia.
36:17
What do you think the score is going to be?
