VARsenal Helps Spurs I Ep: 134 · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
Oh, yeah. Let's do the episode.
0:02
Hello, Hello. Hello.
0:04
And welcome to episode 134, Draft Offsides.
0:07
I'm with Tikko Enzo. My name is Keith Enzo.
0:10
You seem in OK spirits. This I'm in denial.
0:14
You're in denial. Complete denial like that draw.
0:17
Complete denial about Tottenham, the Tottenham draw with leads.
0:19
So you're in denial that you you don't think it happened or you
0:22
just think everything's going to be fine.
0:24
I'm hoping everything's going to be fine but I don't think it is.
0:27
We're playing you next week and Chelsea hates Tottenham.
0:30
What hurt more, the Tottenham Hotspur draw with Leeds or the
0:33
Arsenal disallowed goal or the dislod goal against Arsenal?
0:38
Oh, that's a good fucking question.
0:39
I'm going to say the draw of Leeds because the.
0:43
The West Ham. The West Ham had already
0:45
happened so. Yeah.
0:47
Yeah. What?
0:47
It's OK. We just argued about this for
0:50
like 10 minutes off air, but do you want to talk about the the
0:55
dislodge goal just for a brief second at the top?
0:58
I think it should go from start with Tico first because it'll be
1:01
like a slightly unbiased opinion.
1:04
OK. So we'll go.
1:04
We'll go around in a circle, yeah.
1:06
Yeah, come on. Oh yeah, you got you go.
1:08
What do you think, Quick? I think the goal should have
1:12
stood. I don't think they should have
1:13
gone too far because there was so much pushing and I thought
1:16
the image, they looked like the cut, they kept showing up.
1:19
At least on the TV replay it was when he was grabbing it.
1:22
But to me, when you watch the full replay, it seemed like
1:24
someone like pushed him on there.
1:26
But even in that short thing, there were so many like Jersey
1:28
pools, rice hugging someone else.
1:30
So I think everything should have just offset and the call on
1:33
the field should have said because I don't think there was
1:35
enough proof to overturn it. Good.
1:38
I like that. It's the same.
1:38
A lot of proof. OK, My my take is that that it's
1:42
probably a foul, but the fact that that's been being allowed
1:47
all season leads to some really frustrating inconsistency and
1:50
like the Tito's point, all the grappling and all those things
1:53
makes it. And just like there's been
1:55
plenty of other examples that I'm like I can share.
1:57
I know, I know Sergei doesn't really dispute some of them, but
2:01
like I, I vividly remember like JA Pedro getting punched in the
2:04
face by Deborah and I vividly remember some of these like
2:06
these like hockey tackles and like jiu jitsu moves that guys
2:09
are doing that aren't getting called.
2:11
So I'm just saying that there's like a level of inconsistency
2:13
and like the, the football fan in me just wanted it so bad to
2:17
be a goal. And I'm but I'm not trying to
2:19
let that crowd the fact that I do like at the end of the day,
2:21
that like if you if you see that cell frame like these these rats
2:25
are just such nerds that they can't like they they have to
2:28
call it the same way with the Tottenham foul.
2:29
They just have to call those because they just don't know any
2:31
better. OK, ends up.
2:34
I feel it was a fell on the goalkeeper but I've been saying
2:36
this for every single time, but I've seen so many of these goals
2:39
allowed. Even we've seen that I'm a
2:42
slightly biased and I I understand what so he's coming
2:45
from, but when I see it constantly and I've seen Arsenal
2:48
constantly this season and whether it's before the ball or
2:52
when the ball's there, it's still impeding.
2:56
I just feel like the refs are over refereeing and they've
2:58
they've let Vah make a big decision in the Championship.
3:00
Well, the ref made the decision not far.
3:03
Yeah, but yeah, whatever. But you know what he means.
3:06
Sergei, do you care to comment? I just want to let let the
3:08
facts. Looks like here to comment.
3:11
That's the only reason I called in today.
3:14
It's like a. Radius thing, Yeah.
3:16
Please speak to us producers. OK, so first of all, whatever.
3:21
The second Suraya is unprecedented.
3:23
Nothing like this has ever happened in the past three
3:26
seasons. No, whatever.
3:29
If you want to bring in Arsenal's corners, we usually
3:32
mess around with the keeper and and put blocking and stuff
3:35
before the ball is played. That's one second usually when
3:40
goalkeeper just go flop at the ball and just fall down.
3:43
Rye actually had his two hands on the balls where if he wasn't
3:47
grabbed he would have caught it if not punched it real good.
3:50
Watch it again. He actually had his two hands on
3:53
the ball. He had fouls on two people just.
3:56
Like this? No, go look, he says.
3:59
He had his. Feet on the ground.
4:01
No, he had his two hands. Yeah.
4:04
Why isn't he jumping? He did jump.
4:06
He wasn't being pulled down. What are you talking about?
4:09
He was being I. Feel like there's arguments in
4:12
your? I feel like there's arguments
4:13
for your cause and you're not making them.
4:14
You're making like the worst arguments.
4:17
You know, you're making, you're making Arsenal arguments.
4:20
Yeah, it's the same thing. Because that's why you bring it
4:22
up. That's what I said in the
4:23
beginning. The only reason you be
4:25
everybody's all righteous is because this is Arsenal.
4:28
If this was everything, obviously this was everything.
4:32
Nobody would say anything because Bernardo Silva tackled
4:36
the Everton guy in the penalty box.
4:38
Nobody says anything. Nobody said it should have been
4:41
a penalty. Now it's Arsenal.
4:43
Oh, the ref called it. Oh my God, Bart turned it.
4:46
Oh no, how could this happen? Oh my God.
4:49
OK, I think we'll we'll leave it at that.
4:51
I think we have different opinions on this, but I also
4:53
think that it's just pretty shitty.
4:55
I will put the videos for the I. Will put the videos in the
4:58
podcast so you guys can see. OK, I don't know.
5:01
I don't trust you to put the right ones in.
5:03
Yeah. So that's what I, I would ask
5:05
you not to do that. Thank you.
5:07
If you want to do that, I, I hope that you can make a bot,
5:09
you can go back and look at some like the Chelsea job, Pedro one.
5:12
I'd love to see that video in here.
5:14
I'd love to see. I'd love to see Ben Mayer
5:16
Bacario. I'll put the.
5:18
Onana One. Put the video, but put the video
5:21
from the official like EPL YouTube page, like the NBC
5:24
Sports page. You know, you think he's going
5:26
to. We'll get copyrighted.
5:29
OK, let's move on. Let's move on.
5:30
That was the drama. Sorry everyone that didn't
5:32
really care to hear that because they probably heard about it
5:34
1000 times already in the last three days.
5:36
But OK, Enzo, you're doing well, Tico.
5:41
You're doing well. Everything's good with you,
5:42
Tico. I need 4 points from 2 Crystal
5:45
Palace players and two City players combined on Wednesday
5:50
and I win. Did you win?
5:53
You clinch title. No, no, no.
5:55
No. Oh, just through the weekend.
5:56
If I went, if I go to no, I clinch tight.
5:58
I need two wants to clinch. Nice, I'm up 50 plus points in
6:01
one and 80 plus in the other. So you guys doing good?
6:04
I'm going to win both the notch ups, but it does not matter.
6:07
It's too little too late. I'm just I'm just looking like I
6:09
might get 4th in both leagues. What are you going to do?
6:12
Consistency. Consistency.
6:13
I got third in both leagues last year, fourth this year, but in
6:17
the one in my league with Nate, we're in first place, so no.
6:19
By No. By.
6:24
Repetitively. Hey Nate, fuck you.
6:27
Hey, OK, let's get into waivers, boys.
6:30
Let's just kick it off. So we're doing waivers.
6:32
We're doing the same thing again where we kind of like
6:34
color-coded on Enzo did it. I've actually think you got some
6:37
really some smooth ones in here. And so the first one you have is
6:40
Adam Smith from Bournemouth. Defender, 2% owned.
6:43
He had 17.75 points, 6 points for the clean sheet, but that's
6:47
fine with 11 goes. If you're in desperate need of a
6:51
defender, this is like, he seems like a great one.
6:53
He's on a team that's been undefeated, but Bournemouth's
6:55
undefeated like 1617 straight. Now.
6:58
The Alex Jimenez thing, I think we don't really don't need to
7:00
talk about that. But he is probably never going
7:02
to play football again. Nope.
7:03
So in England at least, maybe France, yeah.
7:08
But it sounds like Smith is the guy, at least for the next three
7:11
games, you know, two games or whatever.
7:13
Like, yeah, it seems like it seems like that's a really good
7:15
child, especially if you're desperate.
7:17
Another one. And so you have him as an
7:19
orange. I would probably put that green,
7:22
personally. I just put him orange because of
7:24
the city, the city game, the city games.
7:27
Is next time the game off of that forest.
7:28
I think he should get some some. Good.
7:30
I have this weird feeling the city's going to drop points
7:32
again and then the final weekend just going to be like, whatever
7:34
I really do, I think it's over. I think it's over too.
7:38
I do. But yeah, we'll see.
7:40
I mean, that's what it is. The next one you have in here is
7:42
Kevin Danzo, Tottenham defender, 12% owned 10 points in last
7:46
game, averaging 10 points over the last three.
7:49
Winning lots of aerials, has long throws.
7:51
Next few games are desperate. It's Chelsea away, Everton at
7:55
home. Those are really challenging
7:56
games. You got them.
7:59
Chelsea, you're not going to make it easy.
8:00
Every chain is still playing for Europe potentially.
8:03
So I yeah, I think that's, I think that's a tough one.
8:07
But I mean, as a as a player who gets defensive contributions,
8:10
it's not the end of the world. No, and it's not like.
8:13
I'd be weary if it was like a right back or a left back where
8:15
you're really relying on like a lot of offensive points.
8:18
But no, he's doing a lot of aerials so.
8:20
And that's an orange again, because of matchups and it's not
8:22
himself so. OK, next one on here.
8:25
Harry Maguire, 40% owned defender, United, obviously slab
8:28
head slash Dudley Dursley. He has his moments.
8:32
Right, he does. He does have his more and he
8:34
could score a goal. Yeah, that's always a bonus.
8:37
And I just feel like like that last game, like they looked like
8:41
they had no attacking evidence really, but their defence looked
8:43
fine, you know. And I think like a lot of
8:45
players are going to be like already kind of checked out and
8:49
Forrest at home next is a good match up because I don't think
8:52
Forrest is playing for much. They're safe.
8:53
No, they're safe. That's it.
8:55
Yeah. They're safe, that's it.
8:56
They have nothing else to play for.
8:57
I wouldn't be surprised if they just, you know, and I think a
8:59
lot of people that and there's these are my players that think
9:01
about the World Cup already. Yeah.
9:03
So I think it's safe to say that that's that's like that's like I
9:06
wouldn't see a lot of goals in that game.
9:08
Potentially Brighton away last game of the season could be a
9:12
tricky one, but that's in that's in two weeks.
9:15
So you don't really need to worry about it too much.
9:18
All right, Those are the three. Those are the defenders
9:19
forgotten midfielders on here. You have I don't know I would
9:23
not put put this one on here, but you put in James Madison
9:26
97%. Let me, let me just.
9:29
Do that way that was taken. He came out in the last five
9:31
minutes and have a negative half point.
9:33
We just is this just a troll? No, no.
9:37
No. If you see James Madison, hold
9:38
on. If you see James Madison
9:39
starting, you wouldn't like you would have planned.
9:42
No. Not after what I saw in those 5
9:44
minutes. He didn't play for 5 minutes.
9:45
He also played for 20 minutes. He came on 5 minutes for the end
9:47
and 13 minutes overtime. Maybe not.
9:49
Officially 5 minutes but but if I see James Madison the line up,
9:52
I'm absolutely. Putting, I just feel like he's
9:54
so a ways away from really. He looked very hesitant on the
9:57
ball to do anything. He looked very hesitant, like
9:59
even going to fifty 50s. Oh my God, this scared me so
10:02
much. Chico.
10:03
This just scared me so bad. I thought that was my I like I
10:09
thought that was someone in my house.
10:10
I thought that was someone in I just for some reason looking at
10:12
your thing and seeing the door open just literally like made my
10:14
heart drop because I thought it was like someone in my home.
10:18
No, you're fine. You're good.
10:21
Okay. James Madison is a little is
10:23
very risky. That's a red.
10:26
I hate that one. That's just for a Tottenham fan.
10:28
He doesn't have a Tottenham player on his team.
10:30
He's like, you know? The same reason that it's the
10:33
same reason that James Madison is on the bench for Tottenham,
10:35
really just like, want to feel good there.
10:37
That's basically what it is, really.
10:38
I like that. The other one on here, Joe
10:41
Ellington, 43% on mid came back for two games and played the
10:44
full 9013.5 and 6.5 S that up and down you know he's capable
10:48
of doing a lot. I heard no better mids.
10:51
Really. This is tricky, huh?
10:53
There's. Not much out there.
10:54
Everything was 55 plus man. Yeah, let me, let me.
10:59
I updated the heat tracker. Let me see if anyone's popping.
11:01
I'm just off the RIP. I see.
11:04
See, position midfielder Kobe May knew.
11:08
I mean, he had that 12:15. They had a 575 in the last game,
11:11
which is not great. It's still, it's still
11:13
something. But that's exactly what we said
11:15
was going to happen, though last part we said that's what that's
11:17
what he puts up his fives and sixes.
11:20
You're not going to see those double s.
11:22
Yeah, but he had one good game. Yeah, yeah.
11:26
Man, oh man, this is tough. Ayo Tanaka has been kind of like
11:29
he had a 6 1/2 point game this last game after a 13 the game
11:32
prior. I I would be interested in that.
11:34
So I mean, they play. Who do the leads play?
11:38
Let's see, next week Leeds play Bright and oof, yeah, it's not a
11:45
great game either, is there really play?
11:47
Brighton's playing for something.
11:49
Leeds is like, not really playing for anything anymore,
11:51
right? They're pretty close to safe as
11:52
well, huh? And so I'm not getting any sound
11:55
from you. It's only Tottenham and West Ham
11:57
now though. Yeah.
11:59
That's that's it, right. Totally.
12:01
Yeah. Yeah.
12:02
So that's tricky. I mean, there's not, there's not
12:03
a lot here in that sense. So I get it.
12:07
I get why there's not much there.
12:09
OK, so we can move on. Yeah.
12:11
What about Zion Fleming Tikka? I know you're a fan of his,
12:14
right? He had a good game, but then he
12:16
had a couple game before that. I looked at him.
12:18
Yeah, yeah. And it's Burnley, they're
12:22
playing Arsenal next. Arsenal's going to try to troll
12:25
up him and then, yeah. This is other names I would
12:29
maybe take a risk on like King Louis Potter from Bradford too.
12:33
I mean, he had a bad game last week, but before that he was
12:35
looking kind of OK. No, he was looking good.
12:38
Bradford plays. But this is if you've literally
12:41
got nobody, that's who you pick up.
12:43
Yeah, we're throwing. We're literally just throwing
12:45
out like darts on a darts on a border now.
12:48
It's pretty, pretty tough, but OK, those are the 400 fielders.
12:52
OK, then these ones are risky forwards and I like, I'm
12:55
interested in these. Actually, I dropped some of
12:56
these. The first one is Loam Chachua
12:58
from Burnley, 7% owned forward. 2 great starts from Burnley in
13:02
his last two and those are seems like maybe two of his.
13:05
He started the last three I think.
13:06
And then the last two he's played the full 90 and actually
13:08
looked pretty good. And I think it's like new coach
13:10
or whatever, interim coach and let's just try him out.
13:12
But he's like decent and he's scoring points in ways that I
13:14
think we'd like to see some good, some dribbles and he
13:18
passed the shots. The big problem is Arsenal next.
13:20
Yeah, I don't know if Michael Jackson get him to do well
13:23
against awesome. But I mean, it's wolves the
13:27
final week. So it is, I mean, it's, there's
13:29
not a lot there. It's a red.
13:30
We're not, we're not feeling good about it, right?
13:32
No. I actually like this next one a
13:35
lot though. Matthias Monet 37% on forward.
13:37
He had a poor last game, so I could see him getting dropped in
13:40
a lot of places, but the few guys before that, they were
13:42
pretty good. Yeah, he's getting points the
13:45
right way. Promising prospect, hoping to
13:47
make a splash in his last two games.
13:50
We got to transfer. Fulham and Burnley are next.
13:52
I think those are both usually opponents.
13:53
I don't think Fulham's playing for much.
13:55
I mean, I think they technically you're like.
13:57
They're still in Europe. They're still in Europe.
13:58
They're still like, yeah, but like barely.
14:00
And I bet you a lot of those players are going to be pretty
14:02
checked out. And then Burnley is what it is.
14:05
So I like I like Matthias Monet here and then Rio and GAMOA 34%
14:11
on forward. He came off early and she was
14:15
like, no, they said it. They claimed it was just cramps.
14:19
So we'll see what that is. But and then the other thing
14:22
with him, it's an easy drop if he doesn't start and he maybe
14:25
pivot on these other two guys. The questions for you guys, if
14:27
you were to rank these three forwards, if you were desperate,
14:29
you needed a forward super bad, which well, how did you rank
14:32
these three? Rio money and then the.
14:35
Situa. Yeah, what's his name?
14:38
Say. I I would go, I would go ahead
14:40
to go where? You.
14:41
No, no, I was going to say I would go same order.
14:43
I would go mane Rio because I think mane is going to start for
14:46
sure out of some of real is going to start like words was in
14:48
words was sick, right, so slow, you know, so slow as I play that
14:52
mail. So I just, I'm less confident
14:53
that Rio gets to start. I added more on there.
14:56
Oh, oops, Kevin, 6% over forward.
14:58
He came on for 20 minutes and it's 7 1/2 points.
15:01
That feels like very par for the course for him, though.
15:03
Like he like when he's when he comes up the bench on Oh yeah,
15:06
scores, scores some good ghost points and then got his start
15:09
and it's just absent. Studs, But I think he's going to
15:12
be nice next season. You think?
15:14
I think so. I mean, when he got hurt, they
15:16
were saying he's gone for the year and then the fact that they
15:18
brought him in and he got 30 minutes of playing time.
15:21
So it's if he starts, if you're desperate, it's my work because
15:24
like forwards are going to be big.
15:25
Too, I was very surprised to see him come on because he that was
15:28
what we heard. But I like Kevin.
15:30
We like the end of the season, just needs a little bit of time.
15:34
He's young, Brazilian. My guess is what Esteval
15:37
announced he's going to miss the World Cup.
15:39
Rodrigo injured. I think he just wants to get
15:41
some games out there him in case he gets picked.
15:44
That's like one of the younger people.
15:46
I don't think there's no way that he goes ahead of Ryan,
15:49
Yeah. But yeah, I.
15:50
Don't think so. I don't know who.
15:52
Ryan Ryan from. Adelaide.
15:54
Yeah, he's pretty. You're looking confused over
15:57
there. I mean, all right.
16:00
It's not for like one spot, but it's a like a 25 man roster.
16:04
No, I know. But I just think that there's
16:05
there's only a, there's a few spots that are.
16:07
How many spots are you left for grabs?
16:08
I was just say you got Vinnie Ruffina and then who also.
16:12
Is Rodrigo healthy? No, he probably goes out.
16:15
He's out, he's out, he's down and.
16:16
Yeah, you pick. You take him over Neymar.
16:20
Neymar got called up. Oh, did he?
16:23
Nice. He did.
16:25
Did Brazil now announced their World Cup squad already?
16:28
No one has this is like the pre like the one day you buy like
16:31
20. Five people.
16:32
They they were down, Yeah. Neymar's part of it and he just
16:35
had like a great game. Nice.
16:37
Yeah, but he he. But he slapped somebody, so he
16:40
might not be on the team, no. More.
16:41
It's all right. Robino's done.
16:43
I feel like it's like Neymar get calling up.
16:46
Neymar though, it's almost like a distraction from the rest of
16:48
the team. Having like a guy like he, he
16:50
would need to really know what his role is on the team.
16:52
I was going to say, I think, I think you're hoping he's matured
16:55
as a player because he's such a talent man.
16:58
And you, you, you feel like you benefit more of him being there
17:01
than not having him there. If he, if he understands that
17:04
he's not maybe starting every game, you know, if he comes in
17:07
thinking he's the, he's the man. So because he was the man for
17:09
Brazil for how many years, you know, if he comes in is like
17:12
kind of is a little more humble about it.
17:13
And there's like, oh, maybe I can contribute off the bench and
17:15
stuff like that. Then you'd want the a guy like
17:17
that. But if you don't want him coming
17:18
in and thinking he's the boss and if he isn't, if he isn't
17:20
starting games, he's throwing a fit.
17:22
What do you think, Chico? With the creative CRI lack of
17:26
creativity we have at the number 10 role, I mean, I think you
17:30
should be on the roster because you could initially I I don't
17:33
want him to be the starter from gay one day one.
17:37
So if they're not able to succeed, then you could always
17:39
bring it back on as a start to try them out in the group stages
17:42
because obviously with the more teams, you could go to the
17:45
experiment. But I ideally for me would be he
17:47
would be like a super sub. If they're down, bring him on
17:49
like the 6065 minute. Give him 30 minutes to like, do
17:53
whatever you want. Yeah, OK, that was a fun little
17:56
derail. Smells like.
17:58
That smells funny. You know what desperation is?
18:03
You putting stuff in the chat about the Arsenal, That's
18:05
desperation. That is very much desperation.
18:08
Yeah, yeah, that is a little desperate, but I'm not going to
18:11
look at it now. It's like pick me, pick me, look
18:13
at me, look at me. All right, let's go to news and
18:17
notes. Madness in the Bourne myth
18:19
Bournemouth versus Fulham Game 2 Reds at the end of the half 10 V
18:22
10 second-half Very funny game to watch.
18:24
That was. I don't think I've ever seen a
18:25
game GO-10V10 that like like like that like that early.
18:30
And then not to have a whole half of 10 by 10 was very weird.
18:33
It was fun to watch. There was so much space in the
18:35
field. Yeah, that was so much space.
18:38
Anderson and Crispy were both missed the rest of the season.
18:41
What were some of the players? Anything interesting player wise
18:44
out here? Some some positive and
18:47
negatives. I think positive was, I mean,
18:49
negative was Wilson didn't have a good game.
18:51
So hopefully he bounces back. He's been scoring well.
18:54
I think he's still got like double digits golden assists.
18:58
Honestly. Bournemouth look good.
19:00
Wasn't it look good they had a lot of players score high.
19:02
I think it's funny because Fulham literally I think their
19:06
highest scoring player is was Anthony Robinson was 7.75
19:09
Bournemouth had. Had Hill.
19:11
Trufer 20.5 Adam Smith 17.75 James Hill 6125 Ryan 14.25 S
19:17
Nessie 11/5 Yeah so and that sounds like Bournemouth was just
19:22
pumping as in compared. They look good.
19:24
Croopy didn't do well and Scott didn't do well for him.
19:27
Yeah creepy looked non existent on.
19:29
Creepy. Creepy so far in his career has
19:33
not done much other than tore wolves like, you know, as far as
19:36
like points go. Oh.
19:37
Fantasy wise, yeah. It's pretty much just goals.
19:40
And that's something that like, hopefully maybe as he grows, you
19:43
know, you can see him doing better.
19:46
I mean, he is one of the most like the hottest prospects.
19:48
There's a lot of rumors that he might go somewhere in the summer
19:50
already. Really, it's his first year at
19:52
Bournemouth. I know, but I heard PS GS
19:54
knocking around and a couple other places are kind of
19:56
interested in them. So kind of interesting there.
20:00
We talked about Anderson, Christie, they're the two that
20:02
got the Reds. They'll miss the rest of the
20:03
season. I think Anderson's probably the
20:04
one that you just. Yeah.
20:05
You care about the most. Yeah, Yeah.
20:06
Just you drop. Get out of there.
20:08
Yeah. All right.
20:10
Next up, Doku, Jamie Doku finding his shooting boots this
20:13
week. A goal and a clean sheet gave
20:15
him 10 points. 25.75 ghost points are impressive.
20:19
Did he not have did he have an assist too?
20:22
No. No assist.
20:22
He just had a lot of like. Had a lot of successful tools.
20:27
Yeah, he was. He was kind of cooking Coyote on
20:30
that side. Yeah, Kelly had no chance.
20:32
Fouled him. So many.
20:33
Times I also feel like like Coyote's a pretty good defender
20:36
and I just think that Doku is just like kind of at his peak
20:40
right now. He's like he's yeah, like he's
20:44
confident and just dribbling. I mean, he's been looking
20:46
really. I remember he played the United
20:47
States in in the last international breaking of that
20:50
was that last month. And like, I would remember
20:52
watching me like, I don't remember him being this good.
20:54
You know, this is his best season.
20:56
Oh yeah. But it's also, it's only been
20:58
the last little bit though, because I think he'd scored four
21:00
goals all season and then in the last six games he scored five or
21:04
something like that. He.
21:05
Did really well beginning the season.
21:06
Then he had that law where he got injured and it was on back
21:09
and back and forth. And then at the end of the
21:10
season, I think he's been really good.
21:13
All right, just tell me where, where, if you had a guess right
21:16
now, where is he going? Where is he getting drafted?
21:18
Like don't you don't say like first round, say like 10 pick,
21:21
you know, like tell me, like tell me kind of right around
21:23
what pick you think so that without without thinking about
21:26
it too much, it's. Like 12 pick.
21:29
So you're thinking like end of the first, beginning of the
21:31
beginning of the second depending on if you're in a
21:33
tenner. Yeah.
21:34
What are you, Tika? 8 Ninth.
21:37
He's going early because yeah. I'm thinking like 15 because I'm
21:43
thinking that's interesting. My my thoughts are that like
21:46
he's only doing it late at the end of the season.
21:48
And then like the whole like pep thing, like you just it's like
21:52
there's a little uncertainty. I think it changes if like
21:53
another coach comes in a little bit.
21:55
But yeah, I think, I mean, I think this it's always like that
21:58
recency bias thing where like if he continues to cook and he has
22:01
a good World Cup too, I think people are going to.
22:02
Want to? Because you've got a thing too.
22:04
There's some menu on that team. But no, Silva's going to be
22:06
gone. So maybe Foden Duggar on
22:08
Simeni's been having a awful last few games fantasy wise and
22:12
actually in the league wise, haven't done nothing.
22:14
But just from what he did beginning the season and what he
22:17
did at the beginning with Manchester Sea, he's going to go
22:18
hide and Doku. No, he he's ranked 22nd.
22:22
Doku is, yeah. He only started 18 games.
22:27
See that? That's the concern.
22:28
That's a concern with with, that's the city player.
22:31
He's not a, he's not an invincible, he's not an
22:33
invincible city player the way that.
22:35
No, no, he he got that many points in spite of that.
22:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, yeah.
22:40
Simeno is ranked. 4th overall, but if we do the numbers like
22:44
how much of that was previously moved city, I think it would be
22:47
a different story. The other thing is I feel like
22:51
that winger's on the right side, not on the left side.
22:54
Yeah, they play on different sides.
22:56
I pettigo. What I'm saying is that 18
22:58
starts is not good enough for a first round pick for me.
23:01
And that's not what I was saying too like get the points, but
23:04
then you got to say OK, like he had the 30 points or 30 points
23:06
two games in a row. But Semenyo was consistently
23:09
throughout the beginning of the season and mid season was
23:11
scoring and and he played majority of the games.
23:13
So I hear you though, and I wasn't saying about both sides.
23:17
It's just if you're going to pick a man C player next season
23:20
on the wing, I think most people are going to go for Semenyo
23:22
before they go for Doku. Yeah, I don't know, it's just
23:25
tricky, but I'm just thinking about it like from a draft
23:27
perspective, like I just don't. I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't
23:29
want him to be the the player of that baseball team round.
23:31
If you think he's only going to get like like 24 starts, you
23:35
know OK in the. Last six games, Semenya has zero
23:39
goal. Zero says he hasn't scored.
23:41
Up a bit yet he's we said he's having an awful end of the
23:43
season, but before that he was having an amazing season.
23:46
Yeah, even when he, even when he started, even when he started a
23:49
city, though he was. I haven't.
23:50
It took him 30 plus games to figure them out.
23:53
Take over. No, no, I think no, no, no.
23:55
What are you talking? About hold up, what are you
23:57
talking about? He came out City, he got off to
23:59
a good start and then he went out this job after like 10 games
24:01
or so. You don't think the defenders
24:03
figured? No, no, Tigger, you're right.
24:04
I don't know why I'm even arguing.
24:05
There's a lot of pull out the stats and.
24:07
The defenders figure things out, I think, like perhaps maybe
24:10
playing them in a different way. I think like he could just be
24:13
going on a little bit of slump. It's the end of the end of a
24:15
long season where he was at, played a lot of games.
24:17
He's not at AFCON in the summer. Yep.
24:20
Was he? Yeah, I don't know.
24:22
Oh, no, he didn't. Anyway, so he didn't.
24:24
I think there's a lot, I think there's a lot of factors.
24:26
I think it's hard to to pin it down to one thing, but I just
24:29
think that like, I, I think it's tricky.
24:31
I think it's tricky to look at Doku and then look at the years
24:35
of Doku and like, but I also think that changes maybe if he
24:37
has an amazing World Cup and it changes too, if Pep leaves.
24:39
I think if Moresca's in there, you look at the way that Moresca
24:42
coached at Chelsea and you see that he's he's someone that
24:45
starts the same players pretty consistently.
24:46
Yeah. So you wouldn't be as worried
24:48
about the the pep roulette. So those interesting thoughts.
24:51
OK, Hollande gets a goal and a not so rare assist.
24:55
That's his what, 8th open open plays assist of the season, so
25:00
27 points and has just as many assists from open play as as
25:03
Bruno Fernandez. She was now pushing for the
25:04
record for assists in a single season.
25:06
Yeah, so that's AI mean that's a statement to him and that he's
25:10
not expected to be doing that either.
25:11
No. So then the question is is why
25:14
is Holland having no play of the year shots?
25:16
He has 30 plus goal contributions.
25:18
I think he's the only player in the league with 30 plus goal
25:20
contributions. Because it's going to go to
25:22
decades. Is it that?
25:26
But is it the city effect? Is it like the same way that
25:28
like, Kevin de Brenner was kind of like pretty undervalued a lot
25:31
of times, just like people just don't care because it's Man
25:34
City? Who got it last year?
25:38
Was it AC player? I don't know if it is the city.
25:41
I don't think it is a city thing honestly.
25:44
He's put up some really good numbers, but it's the
25:46
expectation of Harland do. You think it's, I think part of
25:50
his issue is that he always starts so strong and he really
25:52
slows down at the end of the season.
25:54
And then when all these people are voting, they're going to
25:56
remember Bruno coming on so strong and even they'll kind of
25:58
forget that he had a pretty bad start to the season.
26:01
No, that has like a mental thing.
26:03
The problem with Holland is what he's doing.
26:05
He normalized it, which is not normal.
26:06
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think that's a good point.
26:09
He's But let's say he's a victim of his own kind of success in
26:12
some ways. Victim of his own greatness.
26:14
Yeah, yeah, which is interesting, which is a shame.
26:16
Again, biggest robbery in the last five years is messy getting
26:20
that Balandor overhand on the on the City travel year.
26:22
Yeah, but we'll move on, all right?
26:25
Krusenov didn't play due to a knock, AKA played instead.
26:28
Did well fantasy wise. 14 points.
26:29
Is that worth looking at? If Kustov was still out, which
26:32
would you? Would he be a streamer?
26:33
I think so. I think so back.
26:36
He's actually on it. Against Bournemouth?
26:38
Against Bournemouth? I should be a little nervous.
26:39
Against Bournemouth, Yeah. All right, Next game it's
26:43
Everton. Let's talk about James Rakowski.
26:46
30.75 points, golden assists, 1717 points from that.
26:51
And the 13 goes one of the most disrespected fantasy players
26:56
probably last few years in a row.
26:58
Guess what? 1st.
27:03
Overall. 5th overall. As a As for defenders, no, no,
27:06
no overall, overall in the universe.
27:09
And then where I can't remember where did he get drafted?
27:13
I know he's not getting drafted earlier.
27:14
I think it's. Like like fourth, third, fourth
27:16
round. Right.
27:16
Yeah, but should he? He should.
27:18
Be higher fourth round. Let's look.
27:20
I think you can. I'll pull it up, Kefi, I'll pull
27:23
it up. Because don't think he got
27:25
drafted late this year, didn't he?
27:27
Didn't he get drafted like 6 sevens?
27:28
Later he. Later he was 49.
27:32
MMM Doku was 5/3. Wow in our league.
27:36
In the 12 men. In the 12 men. 49 so in the 10
27:39
it would be lower most likely. Yeah, yeah.
27:40
So, yeah. And and so he went 410.
27:43
Turkowski went 410 in our in our ten it would.
27:46
Be interesting to see if next year more first rounders go in
27:49
the first round, more defenders to go in the first round.
27:52
I mean, after this season, I think with the issue that I saw,
27:55
it was funny and I know you guys are going to hate that to bring
27:56
up his name. But Nate beginning the season
27:59
was talking to me about about like he like had this strategy
28:03
where he's going to like pick a lot of offenders.
28:04
And I told him I was like, you know what, There's there's
28:07
something to that. But the issue with the Fenders,
28:08
it's so unpredictable. Who's it going to be every year
28:11
like this? It's not like like a forward
28:13
player and stuff. No, yeah, I think they have a
28:15
Tarkowski. But I was going to say there's
28:17
there's always a few names that kind of stay there, and
28:20
Tarkowski is one of them. You know, Gabriel Tarkovsky,
28:23
Virgil. The summer so the center back
28:26
like elite center backs seem to be a little bit more consistent
28:28
where you look at like the right back left sucks like Daniel
28:30
Munoz is not having anywhere near the season he had last year
28:33
partially injuries partially Palace a little bit dripped
28:37
Anthony Robinson had a big injury, but he also he also had
28:40
ten a fifth last year, which was way over his XG and he's he has
28:44
no assists this year, but he also missed what quarter of the
28:47
season third of the. Season more than.
28:48
That, Yeah, yeah. So, so I just think that those
28:51
positions are a little bit more fluid.
28:52
So it'll be interesting to see where these guys go for sure.
28:55
But I, I know I'm just saying moving on to next season, pitch
28:58
up more off next season if we're if we're still in the league.
29:02
Say that every season. And we're still in the league.
29:04
I mean you, Julian Timber. Yeah, yeah.
29:07
Jordan Timberlake, sure. Yeah, Guai Guai he has been.
29:11
Besides that pass back was has been amazing.
29:15
Fuck. Yeah.
29:17
No, no, there's there's been good defenders, but I just like
29:19
the ones I'd be, I'd be nervous about like Matthias Nunez again,
29:22
Adrian Truffer, like some of these other guys that are up
29:23
there in the top. You've been nervous about Hill
29:25
too, like all these Bournemouth defenders that have been tearing
29:27
it off. I would be nervous simply
29:29
because it's going to be a new coach.
29:31
So that that's one level of unpredictability.
29:33
The fact they're going to be in Europe is another level of
29:35
predictability, unpredictability.
29:36
But so I think those are things that I would probably fade him
29:39
because there always are a few defenders that over perform.
29:43
He might have been the Weaver wire pickup of the year.
29:45
Absolutely. James Hill, Yeah.
29:46
I didn't. I didn't.
29:47
Probably over me, yeah. Yeah.
29:50
OK, moving on. Maxim D Kuiper, 36.25 points,
29:53
best game he will ever have, 2 assists and a clean sheet.
29:57
Not scoring well all season. Don't be a sucker who picks them
30:00
up this week. I think that's that's good
30:02
advice. And so for the most part, I'm
30:03
not really betting on that one. No, I will I mean both as well.
30:08
One assist was from a from a corner, and the other one was
30:11
yeah, yeah, there wasn't like this unbelievable thing it.
30:13
Wasn't like he was always under than Figo or Zinedine sedan and
30:16
also I'm poured out past as us, yeah.
30:20
Fair enough. Last thing on defenders, I just
30:24
want to call out points per game, which is, you know, it's
30:27
not the end up be all. I think we can look at points
30:28
per start on the draft society if we needed to, but just like a
30:32
little rough overview points per game.
30:34
You guys want to guess who's the top three?
30:36
Top five? I'll tell you.
30:37
Gwahee. Gabrielle's one, Gabrielle.
30:41
OK, so 2 is Gwahee. Yeah, 3 is Tarkowski.
30:44
So I think part of his thing is availability because he's
30:47
played, he's played so many games too.
30:50
Like that's, that's a huge piece of why he's he's played 35, he's
30:55
played 35 of the 36 available games.
30:57
Was a lot of was a lot of their points, all three of them from
30:59
like goal contributions or clean sheets?
31:03
No, they all have three. Like three goals.
31:05
Gabrielle three goals Gehe two goals Tarkowski.
31:07
Tarkowski 3 assists. What's interesting that that
31:11
Gehee and Gabrielle both have 5 assists.
31:14
That's high. That's high.
31:15
If you if you look at Tarkovsky, I'm just going to read off what
31:18
he averaged for the year in the last like however many years,
31:21
1210.711.4101111131113 and some of them for Brantley.
31:29
So he plays a lot of games, He's consistent and he's doing it at
31:32
33 years old. So next year he'll be 34.
31:35
Do you think he's got one last year left in the tank of this
31:37
production level? Yes.
31:39
I think, I think on a David Moist team, he probably does,
31:41
yeah. Yeah, if same manager, same
31:43
team. He'll do it.
31:44
He's not doing it. OK, So then where do you where
31:45
do you think is fair for him to go?
31:47
You think like late second, late 2nd or?
31:50
3rd. I'd say early 3rd just.
31:52
Because of his age, just certainly that's the only thing
31:55
I'm worried about. Yeah, yeah, I like that.
31:57
So what? So you?
31:58
So where does Gabriel and where does Wade?
32:00
Gabriel. Do you think one of them goes
32:03
first round? No.
32:06
No. Just real quick, I mean, if
32:09
Mosala went first round, so should Gabrielle.
32:11
I I have to jump off ways, but just real quick on what I would
32:15
say why in my opinion, defenders don't go on first round unless
32:18
you're like the trans, the trip year and like that caliber is
32:23
which there is. Done.
32:24
There isn't any. There isn't one right now, yeah.
32:28
Yeah. I think every year we find
32:30
defenders on the waiver wire because we have an idea how the
32:33
teams are always going to be like a more defensive team.
32:36
So did you have to pick up? Whereas would you rather take
32:38
Tarkovsky in like the third round or gamble on the player
32:41
like, I don't know, like like Sharky this year where gambling
32:44
exactly? Didn't know.
32:45
So I think you want to go for the upside, yeah.
32:48
Is that there's there's a lot more the the floor is way higher
32:51
for defenders to score well and you also can predict a little
32:54
more because it's not as individual and it seems doing
32:56
well you can get pick up defenders from.
32:58
A team, Yeah. And you could also always stream
32:59
the stream matchups, like whoever's playing, like
33:02
Tottenham or like, exactly of the world.
33:04
All right, I have to jump off then.
33:07
It's got promoted. They celebrated the canals.
33:10
I don't know if you guys saw it. I saw her beast there.
33:12
Yeah, it was amazing. Who CEO?
33:13
They have AUS guy on their team. Oh damn it.
33:17
All right. There you go, see you both.
33:18
Peace. OK.
33:20
We talked about the also West Ham controversy.
33:22
Yeah, since the menu joins city, he's averaging 9.86 and Doku is
33:26
at 13.52. That's interesting.
33:28
Sorry, that's a random sound that that's what we put in.
33:30
But OK, West Ham controversy, we talked about 0 red cards
33:35
penalties against Arsenal and so just need to throw that in
33:37
there. Just curious.
33:39
We talked about the Spurs draw with leads, 2 point difference
33:41
between diamond relegation. Now that's just me and you,
33:44
Enzo. Yeah.
33:45
Do you feel, I mean, I think that it's 5050 again.
33:49
Oh, I think it was like 7030 now.
33:51
I think it's on 50. 50 if we had 1 today.
33:53
Anyone's game? If we had one today, I'd say the
33:55
game's done. Pretty close to down, yeah.
33:57
I think no, I would have said game's done.
33:59
I think that would have just killed West Ham, but no, it
34:03
isn't now. It's only two points, Ronnie.
34:05
You guys so so if you guys, if you guys get a win, I think it's
34:08
pretty close to done. Yeah, if we get a win, it's it's
34:10
done. Because that is, it's asking
34:13
West Ham to win its last two games.
34:14
Because technically we could. If we win the next game against
34:17
Chelsea, we could just draw the next game because we're we're
34:19
above them in goal difference. I think what, what's going to be
34:22
interesting is let's say, I mean, again, Chelsea's been so
34:24
bad. So it's it's you have every
34:26
chance that you're going to smash them, but if you guys lose
34:29
to Chelsea and then in Weston going to win at Newcastle, it
34:31
gets really nervy on the last day.
34:34
Yeah, you know, then it's all that's what we don't want.
34:37
I'd much rather draw to Chelsea and then win and then go to the
34:41
last eggs. Then it's glitchy on us to win
34:44
the game and not rely on West Ham.
34:46
But yeah, it's it's football massage.
34:49
Cell did well. He's taking corners.
34:51
Frustrating player though. I mean he also gave up the kick.
34:54
I don't think that's going to stop him from starting next
34:55
week. Though and won't start next
34:57
week. He didn't get anything for it.
34:59
Richardson got eight points I think.
35:01
Workhorse in there column. Milani man just does nothing on
35:08
the Tottenham side. Almost on that right side.
35:10
Just he's just a body at this point.
35:13
Poro, Amazing, put up 14 points I think, again, just putting
35:16
balls into the box and yeah man, we look again, Team looks
35:21
better. Just didn't win the game, that's
35:24
all. Significantly better.
35:25
I mean, Poro's last few games have been pretty sensational,
35:28
right? Like I'm looking here, it's
35:30
14.25 on the 12th, 231597561675. You know what I really like, But
35:38
I think it's been really good for you guys.
35:39
It's going to be reflecting on points as much as bet Decor.
35:41
You guys look so much better since he's been back.
35:44
Kinsky had that save. That probably was one of the
35:47
better saves. He had several, he had several
35:49
saves. That one with the right hand, he
35:52
got the one off the line in the first half.
35:56
He had a couple good saves. I, I honestly, I've won him as
35:58
my starter. Nothing against Macario.
36:02
I think, I think he's been found out and I want Kingsley as my
36:05
center. Back Interesting and this is an
36:08
interesting site. You pulled only Spurs and
36:10
Villiers that have all the two, the two teams in the prime that
36:13
have not been rewarded a penalty all season.
36:16
That's true. Yeah.
36:18
Man, that Madison shot was even more pressing than the end.
36:22
And every yeah, I wasn't even surprised at that point when I
36:27
saw it. Like I know they say he got a
36:28
touch on the ball, but the ball was still on its way and Madison
36:32
still got taken out. Yeah.
36:34
I think that's a tough one. Yeah.
36:35
I think it's tough. Yeah, I think if, if I think
36:38
it's one of those, if they called it on the field, they
36:40
weren't. On the China, yeah, I think
36:41
it's. Hard to it's hard to ever turn.
36:43
OK, United draw Sunderland, meaning their fan will have to
36:45
go all summer without a haircut. Ha ha.
36:48
Question for you and I maybe should ask this when Tico's
36:51
here, but he's he's gone now. Is that do you think that
36:54
they're going to hire Carrick and then A and then B?
36:56
Do you think that's the right decision?
36:58
I don't think they're going to hire Carrick.
37:00
I think that is the right decision to hire Carrick,
37:03
though. I don't think they should go
37:05
anybody else. I think they should try to hold
37:07
out with Carrick for another whole season given the
37:11
opportunity. I think he deserves it for what
37:13
he's done. But knowing Man United, I think
37:16
they're going to find somebody to pick up to take pick up the
37:22
pieces and try try. They they want with Man United.
37:26
I feel like what they want, they they want a manager for 4-5
37:28
years and they're trying to find it and they haven't been able to
37:31
find it since Fergie left. Yeah, I think they're going to
37:34
still hire him. I really do.
37:35
I think if he him getting Champions League from the
37:37
position they're in, I think they're going to get him.
37:39
I wonder, and I'm not saying it's the wrong, I just wonder if
37:42
he's going to do a little similar to what all he did,
37:47
though. We're just there's going to be a
37:48
drop off. I just, I just the the like it
37:50
hasn't really reflected in the results.
37:52
But they've also been like kind of get they got away with
37:54
something like that Liverpool game, like even the Bradford
37:57
game. They're it's like, and then
37:58
obviously the Sunderland draw was bad, but I just like haven't
38:00
been seeing it as much from when in the way that like when
38:04
characters are there. And then I also wonder how much
38:05
of how much of that team is Bruno Fernandez, you know?
38:08
And it's an easy fire too, so if he does start dropping off it's
38:11
it's an easy one. Yeah, I just think the concern
38:13
is there's a lot of coaches available this summer that
38:16
aren't going to be available, you know, So then then it's like
38:19
a question of like, are you hanging on the carriage?
38:21
Is it going to, is it going to stop you from getting like a
38:24
generational coach again? If you watch how the Bournemouth
38:27
players play, the Bournemouth team's playing and then that
38:29
coach is coming available, you're not going to say, hey
38:32
you, would you like an interview?
38:34
No, I mean, I think that I think it's pretty realistic to to I
38:38
think it's would be smart to really be taking that very
38:40
seriously and thinking about it. I think it's going to be really
38:42
hard from like an optic standpoint to like go of a guy
38:45
that just rescued your season, even if even if you're worried
38:48
about him like long time. Yeah, you know, so that's why
38:51
I'm out with it. But OK, we'll see.
38:52
Matoma off after one minute. Not much to think about there.
38:56
I just don't even know what to really do with him.
38:57
If you have in his leaks or what not, there's not much to do with
39:00
him. No.
39:01
Like you know, then white off after one minute.
39:03
Do you think he's done for the season?
39:05
I don't know. He came off after a minute
39:06
though. That's not it's never good it.
39:08
Wasn't a minute, it was longer than a minute.
39:09
Was it I? Thought he was longer than a
39:11
minute it was like. It might have been like 7 or
39:13
something but he was off. Early, yeah, I don't know.
39:16
But it was, yeah, I know because they were looking really good
39:18
when he was on the field. And then, yeah.
39:21
And then they'd stop looking good essentially when he left
39:23
the field because there was all these like crazy things that he
39:24
did where he like put, he put like super magic right now.
39:27
Silly, yeah. Let's see here, Socks.
39:32
Then White came off in the 28th minute.
39:36
Oh, did it. I felt so early when I was.
39:38
Watching it, California, California Fiori off at half
39:42
that was supposedly it was tactical.
39:43
No injury. They didn't supposedly.
39:45
But here's here's their words. Illness.
39:48
I think you'll probably be fine for this coming week.
39:51
If not, I think Rio and Gamma was even more interesting.
39:54
But if he does play, then I don't know.
39:55
I just don't know if there's room in the team for Rio right
39:57
now. Yeah.
39:59
All right. Coming into game week 37, it's
40:02
getting pretty crazy. Yep, big matchups.
40:05
City versus Bournemouth is a is a big one.
40:08
I think that's going to be an interesting game.
40:10
I think Bournemouth plays pretty well against City traditionally.
40:13
I think Pat, I think Pat does not like play playing.
40:15
It's Ariola. So that'll be fun.
40:19
Arsenal goes. Yeah, I would.
40:20
That's not a game where I would be.
40:23
If I had, I mean, I think you're going to start your Bournemouth
40:25
defenders, but like I'm not necessarily rushing if Kustnav
40:27
comes back, I'm not rushing to start Kustnav.
40:29
No, that'd be might be 1 where I hold off.
40:31
Obviously you're going to start like a Nunez because you
40:33
probably have to and he's been so good all season and like with
40:35
with Bournemouth, like you're obviously going to start Hill.
40:37
You're obviously going to start true fair.
40:39
I think he's been one of the hottest players in the league
40:42
right now on the fantasy tracker and the Heat tracker, so.
40:45
I'm but on I'm signing all my assets on both of these teams.
40:49
Even defenders. Everything.
40:50
Everything. I'm a little leery on some of
40:52
the defenders, but yeah, I get it.
40:54
But yeah, OK, next game, Arsenal, Burnley.
40:57
I mean, do you think Burnley has any chance to do anything here?
41:00
No it's just Arsenal's going to be too good for them, especially
41:03
with Saka back and Saka's has been tearing up that right hand
41:06
side and Berlin just they they won't get away in edgeways.
41:10
The only way then like stealing something is that they can just
41:13
defend like gods and then steal off again.
41:16
Set peace from somewhere. That's about it mate.
41:20
I agree. Chelsea.
41:22
Tottenham. Oof, I don't know about any of
41:25
my assets on here. Maybe I'd play Poro because he's
41:28
put boxes and tell I would put in for Chelsea I.
41:33
Think you'd be going to play all your Tottenham attacking players
41:35
because the Chelsea defensive been so bad?
41:37
Coli wouldn't. Maybe Rich Allison.
41:40
Maybe. I think Gallagher too,
41:42
potentially. Potentially he only did like I
41:45
think he only got like 6 points this game in that last game, but
41:48
like Enzo, Fernando, Enzo definitely for Chelsea.
41:51
Yeah, no doubt Stud. I I'm thinking about dropping
41:54
Palmer for this game. I should have dropped him this
41:56
week. I had him on the bench and I put
41:58
in Hinchelwood and then I swept out last minute because I was
42:01
like, no, it's Palmer. I did that whole bias thing.
42:04
I just don't think he's got it for the end of the season.
42:06
I think he's done. It's rough right now.
42:07
Yeah, for fantasy wise for me, yeah.
42:11
But Cucarella, I'm starring because he's going to go off.
42:13
Yeah, so. Yeah, I think it's fair.
42:15
I think I would just be, I wouldn't necessarily be like
42:18
streaming Chelsea defenders. No, Danzo, you mentioned, I
42:22
mean, yeah. Keep him busy, yeah?
42:25
Yeah, I mean, I I've said like whoever plays the left wing on
42:27
Chelsea, you're probably not that excited about because
42:28
that's been like kind of a black hole position.
42:31
Yeah, you mentioned Palmer, I think he starts, but yeah,
42:33
unless he can really lock in. I think The thing is though, the
42:36
game like this is just such a Derby match and you just don't
42:38
really know how people are going to be.
42:40
Yeah. So it's just like, it's a little
42:42
tricky, but Chelsea's definitely ruined Tottenham before any
42:46
situation. Yes, they have.
42:47
I think about the year that Leicester won this, the league,
42:50
Yep, killed us. Chelsea had nothing to play for
42:52
and they Eden, Hazel, they, they were terrible and they turned up
42:55
and played this game and. Eden Hazel showed up.
42:58
Yeah. That fucked us up, yeah.
43:00
All right, West Ham, Newcastle. Is that at?
43:02
Is that at the? Is that in Tyneside or is it?
43:06
I'm going to I'm going to assume it's in London because it has
43:09
West Ham St. Saint St.
43:11
James's. Park, so it's a Newcastle.
43:13
Yeah, so man, that's a tricky game.
43:16
I mean, I think the thing with Newcastle is they haven't been
43:18
particularly great. I think they won last week
43:20
obviously or no, they drew lot, drew lot drew again.
43:23
So I think they I I saw S that they have given up 25.
43:27
Like they've got given up the lead from like winning
43:30
positions, like these 25 points. They're going to have 25 points
43:33
from winning positions this year, which is like the highest
43:35
by a lot. Is it?
43:36
I thought Tottenham had the the the highest deficit of.
43:39
I think it's, I think it's West Ham.
43:41
I don't think Tottenham were in the lead that much.
43:44
Oh no, I'm thinking about something else.
43:47
But yeah, so I'm just saying that I think this is, I think
43:49
this is a tricky game, really tricky for for West Ham.
43:53
But I also think that when, again, we've talked about this a
43:55
few Times Now, it's like what is Tottenham or what is Newcastle
43:58
playing for? I don't think they're playing
44:00
for Europe anymore. Thing they're out of it so
44:02
they're. Pretty out of it.
44:03
They're they're not, they're not threatened relegation wise.
44:05
So then you're looking at a lot of guys who are probably
44:07
thinking about the World Cup. Yeah.
44:08
Brigi Marayesh Voltemod. Baltimore One star.
44:14
He started last game. Yeah, I don't think it's thought
44:16
it'd be a sealer again. Yeah, I mean there's just I
44:19
think Joel Ellington, Jim Rios should probably be thinking
44:22
World Cup. You know, I think there's a lot
44:23
of guys that are going to be probably not 1000% so they just
44:26
can't really afford you and we're W hand.
44:28
They're they're going to be killing every single ball is
44:31
going to be wars on I need new personal.
44:33
Loose ball. I need Newcastle.
44:34
Win. Yeah, just win Newcastle just
44:37
for your favor. For your well-being.
44:39
Integrity. Come on.
44:42
All right, that's all I have. You have anything else and?
44:45
Not really. Barcelona won the Classico and
44:48
they won the league at the same time.
44:49
Congratulations. I felt like I felt like a
44:51
humiliation ritual. It was just to have that, to
44:53
lose. I can't know.
44:55
And then that was the season. Yeah, that's pretty brutal.
44:57
So now every league has been decided besides the Premier, all
45:01
the top five leagues. So telling league into belong
45:05
one, right? What does Bayern Munich one,
45:08
Bundesliga, PSG one and now Barcelona has one Spanish
45:12
league? Now it's just this still the
45:14
Premier League that hasn't been decided yet.
45:15
Yeah, that's interesting. I like that.
45:18
Yeah, competitive, Very competitive.
45:20
All right, this has been episode 134 of Draft Offsides.
45:23
My name is Keith. I'm with Enzo and previously
45:25
Tiko. Get a dip off a little early.
45:28
Follow us at Draft Offsides. Go to our website,
45:30
www.droppedoffsides.com. Check out our heat tracker tool
45:35
and we will see you next week for game week 37.
45:38
Yeah, we will see. I won't see you.
45:40
I'll be out of town, but Enzo and Tico will see you.
45:42
Yeah. My last one.
45:44
Last one in America. Last one in America before he
45:46
heads out. Back over.
45:48
Guys, please leave some comments on what you feel about the
45:50
Arsenal West Ham game. I would love to hear from you.
45:52
I would. Love to hear, I would.
45:54
Love to hear. You lies in with the master
45:57
thing. I just need them not to score
45:59
like 10 goals. Well, yeah, we don't need anyone
46:02
to get sent off. Yeah, I I just need him to do
46:05
like Keller, just keep shooting the ball at him.
46:07
That was crazy, bro. Yeah, you're fine.
46:09
It's honestly, mate, it's it's literally you've got it.
46:12
Yeah, I think even if we I think you've got it.
46:14
So I I think I'll have second. I don't even think I'll get
46:18
second in the other league, in the main league.
46:19
I firmly get thirds because even though I'm gonna be I think I'm
46:23
pretty sure I'm gonna be glad to close this week, Chris.
46:27
And even if Sergei beats the Dewey brothers, yeah, he's, he's
46:35
scored like 160, nearly 200 and more points than I have.
46:40
So. Why has think been very quiet
46:44
Chris? He's been very quiet in the
46:46
chat. I spoke to him.
46:47
I spoke to him yesterday and the other day.
46:49
I don't know. OK.
46:52
Right, Let's let's be honest here.
46:53
Sometimes I go to that chat room after not saying nothing or say
46:57
I put some rage bait in there or whoever does some rage bait and
47:00
then there's like 100 messages you have to go from each and
47:04
everyone. Well, yeah, today I was annoyed
47:06
because there was like 15 messages talking about some
47:08
American player, like, what are we doing here?
47:12
See now I was just throwing out names.
47:13
I had no idea about American players.
47:19
I had to go Google it. I was like Aji Bang.
47:21
I pulled that one out of my ass. Don't know it is.
47:25
But then he started using different names for players like
47:28
Fallow for for Balagoon. You know what I mean?
47:31
Like, just use his name, you know what I mean?
47:34
But yeah, I think you're going to get second from Bomb and
47:37
you're going to get top in another league and it's going to
47:39
be horrible. It's going to be really bad,
47:42
like next year. So you're going to have to deal
47:43
with you who's won in both leagues.
47:47
And then you're going to have to deal with Sergey for a whole 10
47:50
years of glowing about Arsenal winning the league and about how
47:54
they're the best team and you've got to put them above Alex
47:56
Ferguson's Man United 98919. What is more impressive, Thomas
48:00
winning the same league twice or me winning back-to-back
48:02
different leagues? Me winning back to.
48:04
Back No, it'll be, it'll be Thomas winning this league twice
48:08
already because we've only had Four Seasons, so he's already
48:11
won 50% of them. That's pretty impressive.
48:17
I think consistency is good. Like you see how I'm in 2nd and
48:21
I'm going to get third at least in the other league.
48:23
I feel consistency and showing, you know, strong management.
48:26
I think that's pretty good. OK, come down.
48:29
You just sound like Arsenal when they had Arsenal linger.
48:33
Oh, finished top 4, by the way, that was a huge accomplishment
48:35
for Sergei for like, the longest time.
48:39
Well, look at our team. We finished top four.
48:41
We suck. All right, What do you want me
48:43
to? Do Arsenal's a good team then?
48:46
I just, I, I think, I just don't think they need the help from
48:49
the fucking referees. That's just my opinion.
48:54
Well, that's that. They wouldn't win anything.
48:57
Also, that was helping Arsenal, that was helping Tottenham.
49:01
Brav, I'm a Tomlin fan and watching that, I was freaking in
49:03
disbelief. Doesn't matter about who's
49:07
helping. It matters.
49:09
It matters. No, no, it.
49:10
I think there was many fouls in there and I think I've seen
49:14
Arsenal do so many more than that one.
49:17
You just said no. Not without a.
49:20
Brav, I've seen RYA punch Jao Pedro across the head, I've seen
49:27
Rice handball it and then not freaking get given while he's
49:31
put someone in a chokehold. I've seen you manhandled the
49:34
Carrio many times and it's OK. That's different.
49:39
No, it's not. I I tell you what.
49:42
Look, no, don't tell me why I. Tell you what.
49:44
I don't want to hear what your why?
49:46
Is OK then I won't say it. Good, because you're just going
49:50
to, you're just going to make yourself sound worse.
49:52
I don't want you to sound like that on here.
49:54
No I'm not because first of all, if they did that to let's say
50:00
they did the same thing they did to Riot to an outfield player, I
50:03
wouldn't mind much, but the fact that they did it to goalkeeper
50:06
is different. You do it to the goalkeeper
50:08
every time. What are you talking about?
50:11
Listen, what we do is we don't grab and pull them.
50:14
We just block them. We screen them and what whatever
50:17
we do, we do it before the ball is played inside.
50:21
Whenever the ball is in, we don't touch the goalkeeper.
50:23
We have a lot of go. We have a lot of falls called on
50:26
us that we push the goalkeeper. Just go back and look at it.
50:30
Oh, yeah. OK.
50:31
Yeah, yeah, I will. I will.
50:33
So it's not like we do it every time.
50:35
You're you're, you are justifying you.
50:38
Cheating is what you've just done there.
50:41
Yes, you have. You've justified cheating.
50:43
I. Think the ref calling that
50:45
Arsenal cheating. No, we don't cheat.
50:49
No, I'm not saying I'm not saying him.
50:51
We're not cheating. Oh my God.
50:54
You didn't see the the rice. You didn't see Gabrielle Litchey
50:57
leaning down, crouching, pulling that player down.
51:01
You don't think that affected him?
51:02
You think he's. You think he's all.
51:04
But to be fair, to be fair, Rice has been hugging players the
51:07
whole year, so you can't be that's.
51:08
What I'm saying that's no, that's.
51:10
What Cucarella does, That's what Cucarella does.
51:13
His name? Is, and I'm not sure.
51:14
Don't give me. No, no, no, no, I'm not.
51:16
Give me. No, no, no, no.
51:18
I'm talking about no, no, no, no.
51:22
You do it to everybody. No, no, no, don't.
51:24
No Credibility. I'm sorry.
51:25
This is why nobody, nobody likes Arsenal.
51:29
Because of the way you guys act. Why and how you justify it?
51:32
Enzo, did you see? Did you see Bernardo Silva
51:36
tackling that guy from everything?
51:38
Did you see that? Clear you're using another and
51:40
I'm not saying that is it wrong, that's wrong too.
51:43
But Arsenal gets away with. Complaining about that.
51:46
But Arsenal gets away with all the time.
51:48
So does Man City, everybody. Arsenal gets away.
51:50
With the Chelsea guy asking me if Cucarella gets away with
51:54
that, I'm not talking about don't give me like pulling and
51:57
pushing on player like outfield players.
51:59
I'm talking about like player on goalkeeper.
52:02
Hey Chelsea, that's what I'm talking about.
52:04
Even the Man United 1. You impede the goalkeeper on
52:09
many occasions, no. Or you stop a goal opportunity
52:13
on many occasions. I.
52:14
Do show me the video dude. Goal.
52:16
Goal's talking about it still. Go on Instagram, go on
52:19
Instagram, my guy, I'm sure I'll put on.
52:21
Put on your blinders. Put on your blinders and go look
52:24
at Instagram. On Instagram is pictures.
52:27
Pictures are misleading. Even the Man United picture that
52:31
you have, if you look at the video, that's before the ball is
52:34
played, that's before the ball is played, still a foul.
52:37
There's a big difference. Still a foul.
52:41
I mean, I my thing is that it is for sure a foul, but the it's
52:46
been so inconsistent that you I could see why people would be
52:48
really frustrated. No, people are frustrated
52:51
because it's Arsenal. If this was West Ham against
52:53
some other team, nobody would be.
52:55
What? Because no one would care?
52:56
Because it wouldn't have. I wouldn't have changed the
52:57
title, you know, I mean, I think it's just that, I mean, this has
53:00
happened with Arsenal multiple times this year.
53:03
Like look at the job page, like the things with child.
53:05
It happened twice against Chelsea with John, Pedro, David.
53:08
I literally punched out Pedro in the face.
53:09
I said. Did you see the picture I sent
53:11
or not punching the Wolves guy that wasn't called the foul?
53:14
And we said that was a foul on this pod.
53:16
Yeah, OK. But what I'm saying?
53:19
That's a great example. It's like it's being consistent.
53:21
It's not being, it's not being called.
53:23
So then this should have been called.
53:24
So it's consistent. What's the problem then?
53:26
This it was consistent. The pod.
53:29
Save it for the pod. We're we're.
53:30
Recording right now, Sergey, we're recording, right?
53:32
Now this is for the pod. No, no, this is good.
53:35
Don't, don't. No, no.
53:35
Keep this on the pod. Let's just show the episode.
53:37
Psycho. Sergey doesn't actually want to
53:40
be involved. I thought, you know what's
53:43
funny? You know what's funny?
53:44
That dinner we went to, like me and Sergey get along fine, but
53:48
as soon as it gets onto WhatsApp or on here, we're going off.
53:53
Well, because everybody's turning on righteous bias.
53:56
There's all the ref didn't call it.
53:57
Get out of here. The only reason everybody's up
53:59
and up is because it's Arsenal. No, that's.
54:02
Not I think you're having a little ego moment too.
54:05
I don't think it's just because it's Arsenal.
54:06
No, so I might be wrong. Said so for all the other ones.
54:13
The goals that's Arsenal store like that.
54:15
Do they go to VI VAR every time? This is what they want to.
54:19
Which one? Everybody's saying all the other
54:21
ones. Show me which ones?
54:22
I'm not. I'm not watching them.
54:24
So far I have not seen any picture that is really similar
54:29
to the one that happened to Ryan.
54:31
You're not. You're not close.
54:32
You're not asking my questions, you're not answering my
54:35
question. You're not even, I'm saying from
54:38
the goals Arsenal score, from the corners, from those side
54:40
pieces, do they usually go to war or they don't go to war?
54:43
Because I I don't think. Sometimes they do, sometimes
54:45
they don't. I don't know which one are you.
54:47
I don't know which one you're talking about.
54:49
I don't remember all of them. Sippy.
54:52
Convenient. What are you talking about?
54:54
What are you talking about? You're just telling me from all
54:57
the goals. I don't know which one you know.
54:59
What I'm going to tell mom, you're being mean to me.
55:02
None of the goals they scored, nothing like this happened.
55:05
No Arsenal player was holding a goalkeeper's arm.
55:09
Sure, I think the goalkeeper element.
55:11
Is I've seen Ben White. Here let's let's OK.
55:15
To arms all day. I think bro, I think that
55:17
there's been a. Lot before the ball is played.
55:20
Bro what are you talking about? Out here bro.
55:22
Or what about deck? What about Declan Rice?
55:24
Literally grappling two players. That doesn't matter, Keith,
55:27
because it's not touching a goalkeeper.
55:28
That's what he's going to say to you right now, yeah.
55:30
Yeah, yeah. No, I think that's all.
55:31
I think it is a foul. I think it is a foul you do.
55:33
I think it's a foul. I think it's.
55:34
If you're going to look at the foul and the goalkeeper, you
55:37
look at all the fouls that happened before that.
55:39
OK, what do they do? They do like in the NFL thing
55:41
where like the fouls cancel each other, the fouls cancel each
55:43
other out. I.
55:44
Agree. I think that's an interesting.
55:46
Thing, yeah, but. That's me looking at it.
55:48
If my team was doing that, you have to.
55:50
You've got your own eyes. You got to.
55:52
You can't justify the cheating. I don't think he's getting is
55:57
consistently. They haven't been calling that
56:00
the whole year. So Cucarella grabs everybody on
56:03
every corner kick. Bernardo Silva didn't get
56:06
penalty called against Everton. That was a big penalty if they
56:09
called it right. Big swing on the on the
56:13
Championship. It's crazy, I remember it's all
56:15
the other teams going to VAR but not Arsenal ones.
56:17
That was three days ago you did. I think, I think this, I feel
56:22
like it's, it's actually really similar.
56:24
It's really similar to, and this is going to drive you guys
56:26
crazy. It's really similar to Blue Co
56:28
And like the way that they've been doing like creative
56:30
accounting where it's there's, there's no, there's no like
56:33
there's no rule against it. So like, I don't really blame
56:35
you for doing it. You know what I mean?
56:37
That now it's kind of Arsenal's MO, but it feels, but it feels
56:40
very like it feels like it would have been poetic justice and
56:44
like there would have been a righteousness to it if if
56:46
they're like if that wasn't called either, even though I do
56:49
agree it is a foul. I just felt like.
56:54
But no one, no one's saying they're saying that they
56:56
haven't. Been calling those types of
56:57
plays, albeit that was on a goalkeeper.
56:59
It's different, you know what I mean?
57:01
That's what I said, but I've. Seen them?
57:04
They've been fouling goalkeepers all season.
57:06
I wouldn't argue. I wouldn't argue because every
57:09
corner kick. Yeah.
57:10
Where? Where he goes on the clock.
57:12
He goes the clock. Yeah.
57:14
OK. Sergey, can you cut that in?
57:16
Do we need to redo this conversation for the pod?
57:18
No. No, you're good.
57:20
No, I could put that in, but you can still talk about it.
