## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome back to the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 27 and Man City and Liverpool pick up more
[0:05] points. What does that mean for the
[0:06] Premier League? And then in the top five leagues
[0:08] we have Bayern and Barsa absolutely crushing it, picking
[0:11] up three points. But what will they do in the
[0:13] midweek when they face each other in a Champions League?
[0:16] All that and more on the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:19] Let's go. You ain't going home your.
[0:21] Honor, I'm sorry, Your Honor, I'm sorry if we don't compete
[0:27] with city. This is a failure of a season.
[0:29] You've heard. I can already tell you.
[0:31] I'll tell you in advance you failed.
[0:33] I'm going to take central midfielder Federico Valverde.
[0:37] What? Yeah.
[0:39] No, that he is crazy. Worst midfielder for Real Madrid
[0:42] this season? That's like, that's like saying
[0:45] Neymar was the worst player in MSN.
[0:52] Boys, before we get into our week, I just want to say thanks
[0:54] for the support recently. Last video was a banger.
[0:57] I think that was one of our best performing podcasts, probably on
[1:00] on our YouTube channel. But there's something needs to
[1:02] be said on the YouTube specifically.
[1:04] You guys always show love on Spotify and Apple podcast.
[1:08] YouTube specifically. How are we getting 30K40K
[1:11] consistently but we only got 16 K Subs?
[1:13] Yeah, that is you calling. Them out.
[1:15] Stuff ain't not enough. You're calling them out, not
[1:16] some people in the comments were saying that.
[1:18] Stuff ain't not enough. I mean, we're not going to pull
[1:20] a generic YouTube for 60% of you are not subscribed right now,
[1:24] but hold on, 3% of you aren't subscribed right now.
[1:27] Hold on. What a lot.
[1:28] I, I started this thought just by saying, but regardless, still
[1:32] thank you for the support. Because they're coming back.
[1:33] Because if we're getting 30 every week, yeah, if we're
[1:35] getting 3040K, they're coming back.
[1:37] Listen clicking that subscription but it it doesn't.
[1:39] It really means hair. Yeah.
[1:40] And realistically for the algorithm, it doesn't mean much,
[1:43] but I mean if you if you want to see the content and you guys
[1:45] like the content, then we would appreciate if you the subscribe
[1:48] button but. No, I'm actually really like
[1:50] first 2-3 days. We got more views than a lot of
[1:53] our videos in five or six days. It did better than the attacking
[1:56] tree. Yes, video.
[1:57] Which I think this was honestly more contentious.
[1:59] Yep, in my opinion. I guess when we yap a lot it's
[2:01] it's always good content. The funniest part was I think
[2:04] what was it on the discord or someone sent it like the
[2:06] beginning? Like, you know, there's really
[2:08] not much. Instagram Story someone posted
[2:09] on Instagram. There's really not much
[2:11] happening in the world of football.
[2:12] And then they they fast. It's like who this game?
[2:17] Yeah, that was a good intro. I I can't.
[2:18] Like that was funny. It's set the tone for the video.
[2:21] Yeah, by the way, Pasili came on today, didn't.
[2:23] Do brother stank? Now you guys got me hate
[2:25] watching him bro. Bro he's 19.
[2:28] You guys got me hate watching a 19 year old trying to
[2:30] breakthrough Aroma bro. No, that crazy work.
[2:32] If a Roma fan said it in the last see, I don't know why is
[2:36] this for you guys too, But I read, I read the podcast
[2:38] comments like more than anything.
[2:40] Yeah, it's the podcast comments. Because I I don't know why.
[2:42] It just feels like it's a discussion the haters, those
[2:45] guys I just skipped over, but I saw someone was saying that
[2:47] they're an Italian. I think they're I don't they're
[2:50] from Italy or they're just Italian Roma fan and they were
[2:52] hyping up easily and proving you wrong because.
[2:55] Because he knows ball and you know.
[2:56] The guy was saying that he deserves that spot that he's in.
[2:59] I don't know bro. I listen.
[3:01] Does he? There's no, we're not getting
[3:04] it. We're not getting it.
[3:04] Yeah, we're not. We're not getting it anyway.
[3:06] Thank you for the love. Yeah, always.
[3:08] We'll see you guys next week. Call it a day.
[3:10] No, Barbara, send him out. We have to.
[3:13] Subscribe. Liverpool No, no, no, we can't.
[3:16] We're missing something, Barbara.
[3:18] We're missing something. Missing that literally happened
[3:20] a couple hours before you. Recorded and listen, listen,
[3:22] care about this. I mean, if you guys have been
[3:24] following the podcast, you know. You know we.
[3:26] We we got some F1 Dons. We're Ferrari aficionados on.
[3:29] This and this weekend, brother, Very big week.
[3:32] A devious. That's why I got the red on a
[3:34] devious one too. It's the only jersey I can wear
[3:36] that's red. That's right exactly.
[3:37] You can't wear a lot of red. Arsenal fan, by the way.
[3:40] Yeah, but that one's not white in it.
[3:42] This is all red. This is Scuderia Red.
[3:43] Straight Scuderia, bro. Yeah, yes, Arsenal.
[3:47] But yes, Arsenal. The color of the word.
[3:50] But yeah, Ferrari won two with a pretty, pretty dominant fashion.
[3:54] I'm I'm very happy with the results and coming off like a a
[3:57] pretty extensive break, honestly, like just to see that
[4:00] there's a ton of improvement. Super excited to see Millie.
[4:03] The end of the season's gonna. Go This race was on at the same
[4:06] time as the intergame. Which one did you watch?
[4:08] Oh brother, you know that Intergame was on both TV's was
[4:11] on both. TV's damn one.
[4:13] Not at all, but I I ended up. Watching the Highlands played at
[4:16] the same time and Barcelona too. There was just so much.
[4:20] More. I was gluttonous today.
[4:24] This is the definition of gluttony.
[4:25] Consuming contents. Consuming in the Bible.
[4:28] Yeah, this is the greed in the Bible that they were talking
[4:29] about. But no, that's crazy for
[4:32] Ferrari. But there's a Ferrari win is
[4:35] like. Everyone's happy, yeah.
[4:37] Everyone's happy. Well, except for maybe.
[4:39] The rival McLaren. What, the 12 McLaren fans?
[4:41] Yeah. There's, you know, a couple of
[4:43] McLaren from. Well, yeah, even if there used
[4:45] to. Be 20 of them and now there's
[4:46] only. 12 Even if you're not a Ferrari fan, you're a Ferrari
[4:48] fan. Yep, Yep.
[4:49] But McLaren have a drip livery. If you're just getting into F1
[4:52] you would understand. Like see.
[4:53] If you're following for liveries, we don't.
[4:55] We don't watch in the sport. No, but like if you're just a
[4:57] neutral that just gets into, oh, they look kind of drip thick,
[5:00] Yeah. Drive to Survive fans became
[5:02] McLaren fans. That's where McLaren got their
[5:04] fans from was Drive to Survive. They don't know a lot of the
[5:06] sources. I engage, keep an F1.
[5:08] I'm I'm glad that we got more fans because of Drive to
[5:10] Survive, but there's something has to be said about they.
[5:13] Need to do one for football, a drive to because even hockey
[5:16] what? Do you mean they do?
[5:16] Of course. Oh, you mean like?
[5:18] A drive to survive European football, like each team, tries
[5:21] to do it individually but it doesn't hit as hard.
[5:23] I find some hit. I watched the Southampton one
[5:26] that was really good. S Ham it was really good.
[5:28] You should watch. It put yourself through that
[5:29] misery, yeah. But that was a couple years,
[5:30] that was 3-4 years ago, and then they did Newcastle, then they.
[5:33] Did no they did city. City was like one of the first
[5:36] City was the Amazon one. Yeah, yes, yeah.
[5:38] But they need to stop doing individual teams.
[5:40] Like, I don't want to hear about.
[5:41] I want to hear about like APL, one that you go through, like
[5:45] every episode's a different team at a different part of the
[5:47] season. That shit would go triple
[5:50] platinum we would talk about on the podcast.
[5:52] Yeah, yeah, every episode 'cause I know because I follow hockey
[5:56] and they released a new Amazon one for hockey, but where it's
[5:59] all they follow players. OK.
[6:01] But like you could see, like do you remember last year there's a
[6:05] superstar player in the playoffs that basically stopped playing
[6:07] because no one knew no Neilander in the first round of the
[6:11] playoffs, no one knew why he missed time and they were
[6:14] wondering why is he? And it shows you like, oh, you
[6:16] had a massive concussion like this guy, like.
[6:18] Because they thought he was flaking.
[6:20] Yeah, they thought he. Was just like not playing
[6:22] through the injury and he wasn't being a team player.
[6:24] But then the documentary shows you and stuff like that.
[6:27] It's it's it shows you a lot of behind the scenes access like
[6:30] Conor McDavid, which is basically like, I don't know,
[6:32] the Mbappe of hockey. It shows you like right after he
[6:36] lost the Stanley Cup finals or he's he's losing the game.
[6:38] Like it shows you behind the scenes access and stuff that
[6:40] you've never seen in in in in in hockey.
[6:45] Yeah. So if we could get that in
[6:47] football, it'd be actually. That'd be sick.
[6:48] Yeah, that'd be so cool. Like I know the NFL does it too
[6:51] with what's it called like the preseason 1.
[6:53] I it's slipping my mind right now, but they did it for the
[6:56] Miami Dolphins last year. It was the same thing like they
[6:58] they followed it, the players, the team, it's very throughout
[7:00] the pre season and it and it was.
[7:02] Called it makes yeah, but Hard Knocks is different only does
[7:04] pre season. Yeah, that that's that's what's
[7:06] crazy. They stop after pre season and
[7:08] they say OK well rest of the season then there's nothing.
[7:10] Well, no. It's because people, they Hard
[7:13] Knocks. It's just you're just, it's the
[7:15] preseason. Like you can't.
[7:17] A-Team probably doesn't want a camera crew following them.
[7:19] Right. Yeah, that's the season.
[7:19] I think that's what it is. Even just miking up a ref like
[7:22] that's so interesting to me. I don't know why it's yeah.
[7:24] I wanna hear how the players talk and stuff.
[7:26] Like the storylines, did you guys watch like the other
[7:29] sports? And there's full swing for golf.
[7:30] And then there's a break. Yeah, break point.
[7:32] Break point for tennis, like break point's crazy.
[7:34] Listen, if you can't follow, if you can't follow teams, follow
[7:36] players. Like imagine, imagine you just
[7:38] catch the. If you follow enough of them,
[7:40] you'll catch one that ends up having a run in in the CL let's
[7:42] say. Well, if imagine like this tyre
[7:45] race now, if there was a Drive to Survive series with
[7:47] Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, like triple Platinum sick, it
[7:51] would be sick. Like I think we just found.
[7:54] One episode it's like following the like the injuries, like
[7:57] going like keeping up with the injuries.
[7:59] You know you're going to see order guards injury.
[8:00] You want to see KDB rodgery like that'd be crazy.
[8:02] Don't even make a. Comment Order guard injury I
[8:04] would why am I following up? Camera crew there, they got to
[8:07] cut, they got they got a budget bro.
[8:10] Whatever. Brother, we come up with great
[8:14] ideas. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[8:17] What else we outside that's it for?
[8:19] You I think, I think the I think the podcast is good.
[8:20] Yeah, I think we're good. See you guys again.
[8:23] No, but the huge game. Liverpool, Chelsea, this was the
[8:26] marquee matchup of the weekend. Liverpool end up winning 21
[8:30] boys. What were your thoughts on this?
[8:33] Chelsea didn't even play that bad and they lost.
[8:35] It's a positive. Lost.
[8:36] It's a positive, but. I don't think they played good
[8:38] though. I I find they kind of did what?
[8:41] They were in control outside of the Jackson breakaway.
[8:43] What chance did they create? I'm not going to name them off.
[8:45] The tracks and I had two chances.
[8:47] Well, one of them was 0.02 XG dot.
[8:51] But the breakaway was really the only thing that Chelsea.
[8:54] Created. That's more Liverpool's defense
[8:55] being good though, yes. But that's part of the game.
[8:57] Yeah, of course Liverpool deserved to win for sure, but I
[8:59] find Chelsea was actually in control of the game sometimes.
[9:02] Like considering their position last year, I'm very like if you
[9:06] had no idea going into this game, you would think Chelsea is
[9:09] like almost a front runner. Pretty cool, I guess up there in
[9:12] that top three and I'll. Say it again bro, when you spend
[9:14] that much money on a team it's not possible to still be shit
[9:18] like. We, as you, would like to defer.
[9:22] What is she win their league every year.
[9:23] And they and they went to a Champions League final with the
[9:26] the high spending like that they they had.
[9:28] But like, I mean, it was inevitable.
[9:30] It is inevitable that Chelsea will be a front runner
[9:32] eventually. You can't.
[9:33] You can't spend that much money on talent and not.
[9:35] I I find PSG is a perfect example of that.
[9:38] You Champions final. Yeah, but they spent almost 500
[9:41] million on two players, Neymar and Bape, and yet what do they
[9:44] have to show for it? Nothing League.
[9:45] Titles. It's not really an achievement.
[9:47] It is. For 500 million for half.
[9:50] To me that's not an issue, bro. It's a new team.
[9:51] You have the three. You had the three best players
[9:53] in the world at that point, Neymar, Messi and Mbappe, and
[9:56] yet you didn't win a Champions League.
[9:58] To me, that's crazy. That's, I think that's a
[10:00] political issue too with PSG, like there's too many Eagles and
[10:03] yeah, what not. But Chelsea, somehow they're
[10:06] making it work. It's clicking, yeah.
[10:07] Which I'm very surprised. A lot of people, I think,
[10:10] thought that they were going to have another.
[10:12] It's really not like it's it's better than it's a lot better
[10:16] than last season, But I don't come out of that game saying, Oh
[10:19] my God, Chelsea are like this like team to like, oh, I'm
[10:23] scared of facing Chelsea. Like they really liver,
[10:26] Liverpool really just sat back and said, OK, try and score on
[10:29] me. I bet you you can't.
[10:30] And outside of one chance, they really didn't do anything.
[10:33] But listen, even Liverpool, we were struggling to score.
[10:35] I mean, one was a pen. And that one was that was a a
[10:38] mistake. Low key I think, by the way, I
[10:42] think that Cole Will was a red, not the Cole Will the The Who
[10:45] was the other center back. Tosin.
[10:48] Tosin red card should have been sent off.
[10:50] Or the the breakaway, Yeah. Because if Saliba got a red
[10:53] card, bro, then that Tosin 1 is a red card.
[10:56] Yes, I'm going to. I'm going to play Justified.
[10:58] Yes, if Saliba's is not a red card, then that one's not a red
[11:01] card. But both of them are the exact
[11:03] same decision. To me, both of those red cards
[11:05] were so like out of the ordinary because bro, you're not going to
[11:08] score. Like there was no way they were
[11:10] going to. You don't know that.
[11:12] Bro, you're 50 yards away from the net.
[11:13] So then you're you're of the idea that Saliba shouldn't have
[11:16] gone sent off and Tosun shouldn't I agree?
[11:18] Yeah. I think the sport should toughen
[11:19] up in general. This is a separate topic, but
[11:21] there were 5 red cards in on Saturday's Premier League games.
[11:24] Five. There was like 8 games, 5 red
[11:26] cards. La Liga on Friday, 2 red cards
[11:28] Sunday, another red card said yeah, 2 red cards.
[11:31] Valentina we saw in that game ruined the game so many times.
[11:33] It's ruining, it's ruining the game because that's Saliba.
[11:36] Look, I was, I was speaking with someone just 'cause I was butt
[11:38] hurt and I was saying it wasn't a red, but it was a red.
[11:40] If a Van Lissen doesn't fall, it's not a red.
[11:43] Yes, but that's also just, you know, it's human psychology.
[11:47] Now I know that if someone falls, you're going to be more
[11:49] likely to say it's a foul because he ruined the like he
[11:52] ruined the play technically. Like he, he fouled the last.
[11:54] Like it's equivalent to of stop the whole play, stop the whole
[11:56] play. But like, why is it that we
[11:59] blatantly understand that he dove to get the red?
[12:01] Like we we know that the differentiation between no car
[12:04] versus red. Because the reps are told you
[12:06] can't be the judge of yes. You can't judge what contact it
[12:11] makes someone fall and what contact doesn't make someone
[12:14] fall. Almost as if we threw logic out
[12:15] the window to follow an objective.
[12:17] Rule yes, but then someone one refs logic might be different to
[12:19] another refs logic. That was going to be the tosin.
[12:22] The tosin was one refs logic. Yes, but I look some people say
[12:26] cola was closer. I disagree, but I I personally I
[12:30] think they're both red. I I told I explained my logic.
[12:34] Even with the distance. What distance?
[12:36] Like the distance from goal? You like I thought it was going
[12:39] to be on a breakaway. It's the.
[12:41] It's the rule book. It's a red card.
[12:42] It's like you got to take into consideration context I find in
[12:45] these. Things we stopped using logic
[12:47] because then it goes like what R said, it goes into the like the
[12:50] subjectivity of the ref and that allows for for mistakes to
[12:53] happen, but like a little bit of easing up like it's ruining
[12:56] games. But Arsenal discipline is
[12:58] another issue that I I'm I'm no longer in a.
[13:01] Lot of how many records this season?
[13:03] Arsenal 3. 3 three, yeah. Which is kind of crazy.
[13:06] I'd like to see the stat from last year.
[13:07] Well, let's see. The Declan Rice red card was a
[13:10] bit stupid. Even.
[13:12] This one it's not that stupid if you're going by the rule book.
[13:14] This is probably the most blatant red card.
[13:16] Agree. The whole rice.
[13:17] Green trusthart I think. Trusthart.
[13:19] No, that's the that kicked the ball.
[13:20] Man City. It was Charles Declan Rice.
[13:22] No. Declan Rice to the Man City.
[13:24] He clicked the ball away. Oh yeah, Declan Rice.
[13:26] Another stupid one. Declan Rice was standing.
[13:28] Come on. Standing in front of the free
[13:29] kick. Yeah, it was the both of them
[13:31] kind of I. Kept those juju's running out.
[13:33] No, somebody's putting bad juju on him as.
[13:35] Well, see the the pickpocketing meme.
[13:37] Yeah of Arteta. It went to his head or
[13:39] something, I don't remember the context.
[13:40] Because even even the head of referee did.
[13:43] Did he hop on the VAR ball or? Not no, I think.
[13:46] I think that's just taken way out of context.
[13:48] No, that was a board. Was no, no, I'm not saying I'm
[13:50] not going into this whole conspiracy theory that he
[13:52] called. Yeah, give him the red card.
[13:54] I'm just saying you think he has access to the VAR he was
[13:57] talking. To someone through an earpiece,
[13:59] whether it's I. Thought it was his phone.
[14:00] I saw the photos like it was just his phone.
[14:02] What? It's weird but as soon as they
[14:03] go to VAR the guy opens his phone and goes like this.
[14:08] Like he puts his earphone in. Like who?
[14:11] Was that? Well, it's a head of.
[14:13] Referees. Oh yeah, but why?
[14:15] He's allowed to get a say, yeah. I'm not saying I'm not going to
[14:18] this conspiracy thing like. Arsenal fans are going, yeah,
[14:20] it's a. Blatant agenda against Arsenal.
[14:22] I'm just saying like. Arsenal fans are going breezy on
[14:24] this on this talk. I saw it.
[14:26] Yeah, the agenda is becoming blatant.
[14:27] This Man City, Man City retainer that he's on is getting
[14:30] retainer. I mean, I think there's a bad
[14:33] time to take a retainer for Man City.
[14:35] Yeah, but. Anyways, for me I what I get out
[14:37] of this game is that Liverpool for me personally are the title
[14:42] favorites. Title Favorites?
[14:43] Sad to say, but I have them as a title favorites as of right now.
[14:47] They look very complete. They have every, everything's
[14:50] working. I mean, even just the fact that
[14:52] Luis Diaz wasn't even starting and then he came on and he
[14:55] caused havoc on the left side. Like the quality's there, the
[14:58] quality's there in every position in the field, so.
[15:01] You know, I was watching the game and I was trying to think
[15:04] of has Cole Palmer ever had a good game versus a top six team?
[15:08] Man. City, Man City, Man City K
[15:11] that's Manchester United. Man City.
[15:13] That was the that was won game when an entire season last
[15:16] season. But I don't think he scored
[15:17] versus Spurs. Yeah, I don't think he scored.
[15:18] Was gonna assists against the top 6.
[15:20] I don't think he scored versus United, Newcastle, I don't think
[15:23] he scored versus Austin. We.
[15:24] We we better, better. Fix it needs to be have.
[15:27] But no, I, I, I look, I hate, I love to hate Chelsea players.
[15:32] But Cole Palmer, you can't deny he's different.
[15:35] Gravy bro. No, because Chelsea fans were
[15:36] quick to say us. I could never had a good game
[15:38] versus anybody that was important.
[15:40] Yes, but it's just it's normal that any player when they play
[15:44] better opposition has a decrease in stats.
[15:47] Erling Holland if you check his his top 6 stats they're they're
[15:50] significantly worse than his rest of the league stats.
[15:53] I feel like Harry Kane was a type of player that even versus
[15:55] top 60, Harry Kane was output. The best striker of our
[15:58] generation. Ohh.
[15:59] My God bro ohh. Brother or one one of the.
[16:01] Like Lukaku, I hate to say, but Lukaku when he was prime said
[16:04] yeah, you come up versus him if there's a guy likely to score.
[16:07] Against OK, when he was in the Prem, it was known that Lukaku
[16:11] against the top 6 is not scoring.
[16:13] I remember at Manchester United, I remember at Manchester United,
[16:16] every top six game, I think he went like, I'm this may be crazy
[16:21] and misinformation, but like 10 games without scoring against
[16:23] the top six or like something like that.
[16:25] Like it was an insanely long amount of time.
[16:28] Listen. I I wouldn't blame him for you
[16:31] guys losing those big games if you guys lost those games.
[16:33] Well, I did not say that. I'm just.
[16:35] Saying I know, but he. Doesn't score or he didn't score
[16:38] against the big six or the top 6.
[16:40] And you think Cole Palmer's on the same trajectory then?
[16:43] No, I he's the one that brought up.
[16:45] I didn't say that. I think Cole Palmer, it's not a
[16:48] it's just normal for players to score less against better teams.
[16:52] That leads to the point, does Cole Palmer have bound or
[16:56] winning potential? Balloon door winning potential.
[16:59] I don't think so. I don't think so because it's a
[17:01] discussion we were having prior to this podcast.
[17:03] But I don't think, I don't think it's there because especially in
[17:06] a generation that's still being defined and there's too many
[17:09] players, there's too many players ahead of him in my.
[17:12] Opinion. Wouldn't that work at his
[17:13] advantage? The fact that it's such a new
[17:16] generation you have like the Yamals coming up that maybe he
[17:19] has a, he has a starts to prove it.
[17:20] Yamal's younger and better, honestly.
[17:22] Those two bounders, Lamin Yamal might actually win a Balandor
[17:24] before like he will win a Balandor before him.
[17:26] I. Mean I don't think he might win
[17:28] a Balandor before and BAPE too. At this rate, at this pace, even
[17:31] Holland at this point is gracious.
[17:33] But Cole Palmer, you could have him in that conversation as one
[17:37] of the best players in the world.
[17:38] But like, you have to be a completely different level if
[17:42] you want to be. You have to be competing for
[17:43] trophies first of all if you want to be in the balando.
[17:45] Conversation The thing the thing about Cole Palmer is that he has
[17:48] that aura that I think players like Sacca, let's use as an
[17:53] example, don't have that aura that Cole Palmer does when you
[17:57] hop on when you hop on TikTok, when you hop on TikTok and
[18:01] stuff, people are always making chippy chip jokes and stuff like
[18:03] that. But the but the old he started a
[18:06] whole celebrate. Well, nobody started like he
[18:08] Celebrized, celebrated, popularized a whole celebration.
[18:12] It's not a fan vote. But in unfortunately, it is a
[18:15] pop. It is somewhat of a popularity
[18:17] contest. It is how does Roger, Because
[18:19] look, listen, listen, listen. This year, if Lautaro Martinez
[18:24] played for Real Madrid, number one would take a shot every time
[18:27] Lautaro, you mentioned. But if Lautaro Martinez were
[18:29] playing for Real Madrid and he put up, let's say, the exact
[18:32] same season as he did, he would probably be in those Balandor
[18:36] conversations. Popularized the celebration as
[18:38] well. Not really do the celebration.
[18:41] The odd one. And look, I I think Vinny should
[18:45] be the deserved Balador winner, but.
[18:47] We have a video and we were coming out with a video soon
[18:49] about that. Well, yeah, well, we'll see and
[18:52] we'll see my opinion changes. Yeah, but a player like La Taro,
[18:59] if if he put up a that season on a more reputable team or a more
[19:05] popular team, he would be getting bound or so.
[19:08] Listen, Palmer's English. Sorry, firms, Palmer's English.
[19:11] He plays at Chelsea well Premier League.
[19:12] There's no English bound or winners, I'm pretty.
[19:14] Or there's Michael Owen. No.
[19:16] No, I'm saying he's on a, he's on a, he's on a very good
[19:18] national team. He has the opportunities.
[19:19] His his, his domestic team is, is on the way up.
[19:22] So I mean, he's in the perfect spot for it.
[19:24] But listen, he's not in the perfect.
[19:26] Spot for it trophies. When's the last Premier League
[19:28] bound or winner? I've.
[19:31] Very Ronaldo on That's the Premier League.
[19:32] Yeah, that's the Ronaldo. That's something about your
[19:34] league bro. It doesn't say something about
[19:36] our league, I think. No, it's 'cause I don't think
[19:38] those Premier League title winners have had Balandor level
[19:42] players in a very long time. I disagree.
[19:45] No, because during that era, like obviously you had the
[19:48] Ronaldos and Messis of Barcelona, Real Madrid that were
[19:50] winning Champions Leagues day in, day out, La Ligas title
[19:53] record scoring records. It just wasn't possible.
[19:56] Now I don't, I don't think the the quality is somewhat there
[19:59] now like you have a Rodri. KDB like you have players like
[20:02] that even more. Salad.
[20:04] Who's Van Dyke? Saudi Armani back in the day was
[20:06] on the podium for the Balandor. Like the potential is there, but
[20:10] for Cole Palmer, I think he needs to do a lot more and not
[20:14] just him, the whole team needs to do.
[20:15] It that's why Jude went to La Liga.
[20:17] I agree, Jude follow if we if we just basically look at Messi's
[20:21] last Balandor. Now I've said that I think Messi
[20:25] deserves the Balandor, but if you just look at club football
[20:28] and take out the World Cup, Holland was that Bondor winner.
[20:33] Just statistically it was it was better.
[20:35] Yeah, but you see, if Holland played for Real Madrid, I think
[20:38] that that he wins it. No, yes.
[20:40] So. It's APR thing.
[20:42] I I. Believe he plays Pharrell.
[20:43] He would have won the Champions League.
[20:44] Your your. Stats get you to the podium and
[20:47] then your winning is determined by PRI.
[20:50] Do believe though. Imagine if Cole Palmer did that
[20:53] season that he had last year, but he did it at Real Madrid.
[20:56] This would be the best player in the world it.
[20:57] Would probably be the bound door winner.
[20:59] No, no, no bro. They really value international
[21:01] tournaments and Champions League.
[21:03] They value tournaments. Yeah, but they value.
[21:05] But look at. Look at.
[21:06] Chelsea, what are they doing? Look at Vinicius, hopefully.
[21:08] Look at Vinicius. He he hasn't done anything at an
[21:11] international tournament yet. He's probably going to be the
[21:13] bound door winner. Champions League MVP of the
[21:15] Champions League. But that's why like
[21:16] international tournaments is not something that like
[21:19] unfortunately, I think that's that's only for Real Madrid, in
[21:22] my opinion, or Barcelona maybe. And I'm saying it straight up,
[21:25] you cannot have a good season in your domestic league, even if
[21:28] you're in Real Madrid. If you do nothing else but that,
[21:31] you have a 0% chance you can score 60 goals, you have a 0%.
[21:34] Chance no did nothing but that the.
[21:36] Bro Benzema, he was the best player in the Champions League
[21:38] that. Benzema won the Champions
[21:39] League. Won the Champions League, but he
[21:41] did nothing. And nobody carried them to the
[21:43] Champions League. Yeah, exactly like that.
[21:45] Like the Champions Leagues don't win you ball on doors
[21:48] tournaments when you ball on doors.
[21:50] Yes. Moments when you balance.
[21:52] Moments because that? Asked Dora.
[21:54] Like we're saying, yeah, yeah, sure.
[21:56] Messi lifting a World Cup, Brother, you can't tell me that
[21:58] you guys weren't thinking. Yeah, this guy needs to balance.
[22:01] Like it or not, if Messi lost our World Cup final, I don't
[22:03] think. Going to a Holland?
[22:05] No, it's a. Boppe, Boppe.
[22:06] No, it's the high trick in the final.
[22:07] I don't know, there's a lot of. We said it that I don't know.
[22:10] If Mbappe's PR would have gotten him to go all surpassed, Holland
[22:14] won a treble. Holland won a treble as the by
[22:17] far the best goal scorer in the world that year.
[22:19] MAPE had crazy stats that season.
[22:21] Yeah, I agree, but I think it would the podium.
[22:24] We can actually check how the podium ended.
[22:26] Did Holland finish second or? Or Mbappe.
[22:29] Mbappe wasn't on the podium, I believe.
[22:30] I don't. I don't.
[22:31] Even think he was 22. Third, OK.
[22:34] I don't. I think I personally think
[22:36] Holland would have won. It 2022.
[22:37] By I still think Holland would have won it.
[22:39] No, that's that's the. No trouble was the year after.
[22:43] 2023, yeah, because it's given in.
[22:46] Yeah, you're right. Whatever, but.
[22:47] Benzema was 2022 two that was have you seen the the pictures
[22:51] he's been posting? A Benzema has been posting a
[22:53] bunch of pictures with the Balandor recently.
[22:55] And then the things are like, because a lot of a lot of people
[22:57] are just flaunting something you stole.
[22:59] Because a lot of people were talking about like, Lebowski
[23:02] maybe. Yeah, like.
[23:05] Earling Holland, too. Benzema deserved his Balandor it
[23:08] wasn't. I agree.
[23:11] That was one of the most lopsided Balandor's I think I've
[23:13] seen in my lifetime. You kind of just you got
[23:16] Ronaldo, Messi though. Because Ronaldo Messi was made
[23:18] it not lopsided. Yeah, but it was done too.
[23:21] And then everyone else is kind of like a formality.
[23:23] Perfect timing. I'm excited to see because I'm
[23:26] pretty sure the Balandor's next. Next week.
[23:29] Next week, October 28th, I believe, Yeah, or 27.
[23:31] We're obviously going to be. It's always cool to look back at
[23:32] these Balandor like because you're seeing the players that
[23:35] like you're like, I remember that season like I've seen, I've
[23:37] seen Kim and Jay in that season's Balandor top 20.
[23:40] Top. 20. He was in the top 21.
[23:43] He was 22. Sorry, but no.
[23:45] This was the year that so you're you guys were asking messy #1,
[23:48] Holland #2 and bapi #3 and Bapas on the podium.
[23:50] That's. A sick.
[23:51] Sweet like Holland was clear up and bapi 357 points in 274.
[23:56] And, well, how many did Messi have?
[23:57] 462. Yeah, that's what it is.
[24:00] It is what it. Is but that World Cup got him
[24:02] over the other, Yeah. Sure.
[24:03] No, you need to. The history books need to have
[24:05] seen Messi won his first Balandor.
[24:07] Messi won his first World Cup with the Balandor.
[24:09] With the Balandor then we have no choice.
[24:10] The history books needed it. But that's the thing the not now
[24:14] you're looking at like legacy versus like actual stats like
[24:17] Varvar. I think you would say like if
[24:18] that about World Cup didn't happen, you're saying Holland
[24:20] would have wanted. I think so, yeah, personally,
[24:24] but I could hear the mbappe argument.
[24:27] Well, listen, I I think Cole Palmer has a long way to go
[24:29] before getting into that. Yeah, Balandor conversation.
[24:32] Unfortunately, Palaf, we're going to need to get into a
[24:35] boss, but I talk about there's not much to talk about.
[24:38] There's not much to talk about. Arsenal brother 2, nothing
[24:41] versus Bournemouth, unfortunately.
[24:43] Saliba, what an animal. Get him off the pitch, bro.
[24:48] Listen, we don't need that in the game.
[24:50] His first senior. His first senior red card,
[24:52] Bournemouth. Like, like it's gonna, it's
[24:54] gonna seem very cock of me to say this, but going down a red
[24:58] card versus Barbara, give me an 18th place team this season in
[25:02] the Premier League. Crystal Palace?
[25:04] Really. Yeah.
[25:05] They're 18th right now, I know, but they're not an 18th place
[25:07] team. OK I so Leicester City.
[25:10] Southampton. No Wolves is decent.
[25:11] Leicester City. OK, Yeah, Leicester like going
[25:14] that, like going down 10 men versus Leicester.
[25:16] I say your team should have a chance, but Bournemouth has been
[25:19] pretty decent this season. It's a way.
[25:21] Iriola has never won a game against the Big Six.
[25:24] This is, Oh yeah, first win against the Big Six.
[25:26] Play 10 minutes. Ten men newspaper is 10 men.
[25:29] Isn't Bournemouth above you guys?
[25:31] Yeah, I'm not. I'm just saying he's never won a
[25:33] game against the top six and. Add it to the list bro.
[25:36] Congrats to them bro with your winning versus.
[25:38] How many times? Well, he's been there for a
[25:40] last. Year so at least minimum 12
[25:42] games last year OK true so. Regardless, something needs to
[25:46] be said. The discipline it was it was you
[25:49] can you can complain Arsenal fans, we we've been complaining.
[25:52] You can complain about all the refs don't like it, whatever
[25:54] this that the other, but like the double yellow, the rice
[25:58] double yellow, the trust or trust or was a double yellow
[26:00] too. Like double yellows means you
[26:02] still got the first yellow off of merit.
[26:04] The second ones you can argue it, but the cards, this one,
[26:08] Saliba, this one is kind of a not a necessity, but if Van
[26:12] Lassen is clear on net alone if that doesn't happen.
[26:14] I never agree with people who say that you should take the red
[26:17] card in that situation. Like like people who say you
[26:20] should take the red card and then you'll just play the rest
[26:23] of the game. It's way too.
[26:24] If you're in the 89th minute I understand, but 25th minute or
[26:28] whatever, 3, even if you allow the goal, I still think Arsenal
[26:30] go on to win that game. So like 11 V 11, it's a good
[26:34] boy. You know Bournemouth can't like
[26:36] take Arsenal's game for seven, I feel.
[26:39] Like defenders, I feel like defenders have spoke about this
[26:41] before and I think it's a reaction.
[26:43] I think like it's a pure reaction.
[26:44] Just not let your man go. Yeah.
[26:45] Also also watch it in slow MO, bro.
[26:47] Like it's not like it's not like he did a Kiolini Toussaka.
[26:50] Like he didn't just take him by his neck and pull him back.
[26:52] He literally just put his arm around them and it was and then
[26:54] violence fell to the floor it. Didn't it didn't look that bad
[26:57] but like in the context? Wasn't malicious.
[26:59] No, it wasn't malicious. As soon as there's contact they
[27:01] they called. The contact the problem.
[27:03] It said shit red and it's a shame that it ruined the entire.
[27:05] Game last line of defense. It's like.
[27:06] Unfortunately, the ref had really no choice.
[27:08] But train these, train the defenders in training sessions,
[27:11] train the defenders to know what's going to cause what can
[27:14] be visualized as a red card. I don't, I don't know more
[27:17] discipline. You have to be.
[27:17] With his first red card and now he needs to go back to training
[27:20] and learn what? The books boss.
[27:21] Well. Listen, I saw, I don't know who
[27:23] said it, but someone's like saliva, Rolls Royce Defender.
[27:26] But the engine spotted it a bit on that one.
[27:27] Yeah, I think, I think that was a commentator.
[27:29] Yeah, it was a commentator. Listen, overall, Arsenal just it
[27:33] was more or less a collapse. Like you lose one of your core
[27:36] defenders. Like you're your best defender.
[27:38] One game band. Those this was this was really
[27:40] the worst case scenario for Arsenal this weekend, dropping
[27:43] points to Bournemouth. Well, dropping three points to
[27:45] Bournemouth losing and then Man City pull out a win in the last
[27:49] minute and Liverpool get a big result against Chelsea.
[27:53] Yeah, and now we're like 3 points away from Chelsea, Yeah.
[27:56] Very crazy work. What do you think about because
[27:58] I was I was looking at the line up too.
[28:00] What do you think about that? Ass.
[28:02] Four. Well, obviously 4 at the back,
[28:04] but then the three DM situation. No, I'm fine with that.
[28:06] I was worried about, I was worried about, well, this.
[28:09] Four centre backs, 3 DMS. Who was it?
[28:11] Do you guys remember the the lineup?
[28:13] It was white. It was white.
[28:15] Saliba, Gabriel and the Calafiori.
[28:19] Yeah. And then it was Marino Parte
[28:22] Rice. Yes.
[28:23] OK. I'm fine with that you're.
[28:24] You don't think that are like Arteta should just say okay not
[28:28] 3 DMS Let me start This is where I think Arteta needs to grow
[28:33] some cojones some cojones when Mary should have gotten to start
[28:36] in that game. Personally, I think so.
[28:37] Personally, if you hype him up to be what he's.
[28:40] Supposed to be against that. That's a decent show.
[28:42] I think that look older guards out once Odegard comes back, the
[28:45] brother's not stiff in the pitch, so.
[28:47] Might as well just put him down. Yeah, you see what you got with
[28:50] him if he comes in in these next four games that are let's say
[28:53] Odegard gets injured these next four games, you see, oh, you
[28:56] know what is this player ready to play first team level
[28:58] football right now? Or you know what, should we
[29:00] maybe put him back in the Academy or look for a loan or
[29:03] something like that is if he's not ready?
[29:06] But this was your opportunity and right now instead you
[29:08] decide. Yeah, let me play a parte Marino
[29:10] and Rice. This is where like an immense
[29:12] with roll would have been useful, but.
[29:14] That's true. I bought a sailed.
[29:16] A little bit more of an attacking threat, let's say.
[29:18] Yeah, instead of merino rice and party.
[29:21] But the front 3 wasn't there were the listen sterling haverts
[29:25] and who started on the right? It was sterling.
[29:28] That was on the right I. Saw Sterling was on the left.
[29:30] No Troshard. No crosstard.
[29:33] Haverting it was trosstard haverts, Sterling.
[29:35] Yeah, then. A lot of FPL users were.
[29:38] Not. Kind of, yeah, because.
[29:40] Because if you check, if you saw, not a single person knew
[29:45] the state, the status of even on FPL Twitter, there were people
[29:48] that were deciphering images of Arsenal's team bus, like news
[29:53] and stuff like that. They were taking images and
[29:55] trying to decipher how tall because they were.
[29:58] They couldn't tell if a player was Timber or Saka.
[30:01] So because it would only show the side thing and they had
[30:04] their hood up and stuff. So they're like they went to the
[30:07] actual a place where the photo was taken to see how tall one
[30:11] thing in the background was compared to see which one it
[30:14] was. I ended up being Timber.
[30:16] But yeah, crazy. FDL Twitter is like unmatched.
[30:20] They're obsessed. But but why was this soccer
[30:23] injury such a hush hush situation?
[30:25] Because. Because you can use it to your
[30:27] advantage. If Arteta just comes out and
[30:29] says yeah, no, he's out for the weekend, Boardman can say, OK,
[30:31] we need the game plan without soccer.
[30:33] But now if they don't know if soccer, you need the game plan
[30:36] if soccer plays. So I mean, you, you your
[30:39] training session. Yeah, but your training sessions
[30:41] are going to be different because if Saka's playing, it's
[30:45] OK, everyone shift to that side of the pitch because.
[30:48] Yeah, but it's. Not like Sterling is not much of
[30:50] A drop off. He is like maybe nowadays, but.
[30:53] Yeah, as a player, no, no, I I'm all for a bit of saka, like a
[30:56] little jab, like a little Arsenal jab.
[30:58] You're in there A. Little bit of banta.
[31:01] Sterling is sterling bro. You know Sterling?
[31:03] Is Sterling a little 24? I mean.
[31:06] Sterling. Sterling hasn't been irrelevant
[31:08] there in a year. Sterling's not.
[31:10] Sterling is not miles good bro sub.
[31:13] That's what he is. He's worse than Martinelli and
[31:15] you don't. He's not.
[31:16] Sacca. He is no worse than Martinelli.
[31:17] He's probably the same level. Bro, you should go to Milan
[31:19] then, because bro, I don't know what, how much would you pay for
[31:21] sterling in 2024? Zero because he was free.
[31:24] He wasn't free, he was on loan. Yeah, worse.
[31:27] Whatever. If you think he's close to
[31:28] Sacca, then obviously he has value.
[31:30] I'm not saying he's close to Saka, I'm saying Trump.
[31:31] Off isn't big. Well, are you really gonna
[31:33] double team Saka more than OK? Bro, you got you got the rage
[31:36] beat out of me. OK, let's go to the next.
[31:37] Topic Damn bro I. Don't know, I think Bournemouth,
[31:40] Bournemouth honestly did the best they possibly could but
[31:44] Arsenal gonna need a big wake up call.
[31:45] Champions League and a big wake up.
[31:47] Call also use this as an opportunity to prop up.
[31:51] Iriola has done an amazing job at Bournemouth.
[31:54] I remember it started off shaky too.
[31:55] I just want to go through this real quick, brother.
[31:58] If you go through their entire 11 you could say that they have
[32:01] good players all over the pitch, which is crazy because when I
[32:05] think Bournemouth came up, I don't know how long, it hasn't
[32:07] been a decade since Bournemouth has been up.
[32:09] Oh, don't touch me on that. That's Oh well I really we're
[32:12] not going to have the answer in this room.
[32:13] We have 3 Syria people with us and me.
[32:16] If I don't know the answer, then no one does in this room.
[32:18] I really doubt that, however. Ten years, it might be creeping
[32:21] up on 10 years. They now they didn't go down
[32:22] once. They went up because Eddie Howe
[32:24] came up and he I. Remember the one with Eddie
[32:26] Howe? Tell him or I'm going to tell
[32:27] him what, 74? They were.
[32:29] They were two seasons ago. 20/22/21 Flip flopping look.
[32:33] They are relegated. Yeah bro, I got.
[32:35] Relegated and then it came back up I.
[32:36] Don't know who you're thinking about, it's not Bournemouth.
[32:39] Bournemouth got relegated. Well, Everton have never been
[32:41] relegated. Yeah, that's for two seasons.
[32:42] They were in the Championship 2020-2021 and 2021. 22 I kind of
[32:46] forgot about that too though. That that whole time in
[32:49] Bournemouth. But.
[32:50] You know I must have came. He came, he came last season, OK
[32:55] from Rio Valacano. Yeah, underrated manager to be
[32:58] honest. He is an underrated.
[32:59] I think he he's not ready for that top dog.
[33:02] Let's say Manchester United opens up.
[33:03] I don't want him at Manchester United, but I let's say Ange
[33:06] gets sacked like a Spurs, like I could definitely see him.
[33:09] That's not about Shout. Yeah, but enough Bournemouth
[33:12] talk. Yeah, enough Bournemouth talk.
[33:14] Listen, we could. We could brush up on the City
[33:17] say what was the score ended up being 21121, Johnstone's header
[33:20] final minutes that just got by with the skin of their teeth.
[33:24] Who's the better Norwegian striker?
[33:25] Say with me? Stran, Larson.
[33:28] Noosa. Noosa.
[33:29] And Noosa Strand, they just added a new wonder.
[33:32] Kid, you know what take on Noosa, Strand Larson, Holland
[33:35] Strand Larson. We got, we got a.
[33:37] Field goal right there. Strand, Larson.
[33:39] But I don't know, I don't want to say it because every year we
[33:42] say the same thing and it ends up biting us in the ass.
[33:45] City don't look that good. Bro a little shaky boss.
[33:47] They don't look that good. Bro keep a queen chief
[33:49] challenge. Impossible.
[33:50] Could we give them a break bro? Now this is I don't wanna go too
[33:53] deep into FPL talk and we're gonna not make an FPL
[33:56] conversation, but kind of ties into FPL conversation.
[33:59] Is folding even a starter now for for bench?
[34:01] Kind of crazy, huh? Because what are you going to
[34:03] assist off the bench? Yeah, off the bench, 20 minutes
[34:05] off the bench. But you know, Pep, Pep, player
[34:06] of the year. Pep doesn't.
[34:07] Yeah, player of the year. And it seems like Petch a Petch
[34:11] Pep isn't even thinking about like, playing him.
[34:14] He's like, treating him as if, like he's still an Academy
[34:16] player, Yeah. A good yeah.
[34:17] I don't know if he's good, I don't know if he's good.
[34:18] Give. Him a couple minutes off the
[34:19] bench? What's?
[34:20] Already PFA player I don't give a shit to.
[34:23] Him. Yeah, that's great.
[34:24] Anyways, you could put in right next to your seat.
[34:26] Because you have to assume Bernardo Silva.
[34:29] Never. He gets dropped.
[34:29] He's never gotten dropped in his Man City career, so you have to
[34:31] assume that he's going to get play time.
[34:34] He's not going to replace Gundagan or Kovacic, so that's
[34:38] crazy. KDB's coming back from injury
[34:40] soon. No, he's treating Savio like
[34:42] like he. Savino's a guaranteed starter
[34:45] now I. Don't think so.
[34:46] I think that's the spot he's going to take because as soon as
[34:48] Savio got yanked off because he's having a horrible game in
[34:51] my opinion, Ford and killed it and.
[34:53] They wanted you want to spot back.
[34:54] I think, well, obviously I think he should be a starter.
[34:57] Just once again, Savino. Savino's not going to be a a
[35:01] play. He doesn't go off for fun.
[35:02] He doesn't go off. He's going to go off who he
[35:03] thinks is tactically. Yeah, of course.
[35:05] But Savino also is not going to be a player that you drop him
[35:09] and then he's not going to get minutes for three months.
[35:11] Like he he's still going to require a start probably once
[35:15] every three games or whatever and then minutes off the bench.
[35:18] Also like folding, you're still not starting every game then.
[35:23] This is the gluttony they spoke about in the Bible.
[35:24] Because you have a player that was worth.
[35:26] How much would you say it was worth last summer?
[35:27] 150 mil for more more. I think 100 and. 50 mil for Man
[35:32] City doesn't even get a P. SGPSG sending an offer.
[35:35] I don't know PSG still. Got that.
[35:37] You're looking close to a 182 on probably.
[35:38] Yeah. Yeah, and and Pep, look, the
[35:41] stock is now a little boy in him.
[35:42] Now he now he dropped the stock of him.
[35:44] That's, I don't know, on the board on city.
[35:46] I'm looking at him and saying, bro, look, what are you doing?
[35:48] Let's ask him even for England, the brother has not been.
[35:51] He hasn't been good for a little decent little chunk.
[35:54] Here, well, minute. Like the EUR, he was not.
[35:57] He was not good. Who was?
[35:58] He's always, he's always been like a polarizing figure for
[36:01] England as well. When Cole Palmer came off the
[36:03] bench at the EUR he he did a lot more than Foden.
[36:06] Did he's taking more responsibility?
[36:08] But I still, I'm not ready to say that he's clear of Foden.
[36:12] I think they're on the same level.
[36:13] During the EUR, Foden was getting butchered.
[36:15] Butchered by the media pundits. Stinkers every game.
[36:18] Well. Then everybody on so that
[36:19] Bellingham. And so did the honesty.
[36:21] Kane too. Yeah, everyone was getting flock
[36:23] in the EUR bad. In particular, just because he,
[36:27] like I remember those seeing it was like a Twitter post, like it
[36:30] was an ad that they had in England, like where can't he
[36:33] play? And it showed a picture of Foden
[36:34] and someone just like wrote in market like can't play anywhere.
[36:38] Well, yeah, because they they used him at left wing center
[36:40] attacking mid right wing and he was shitting all three.
[36:42] But no, he has a very, very often.
[36:44] But PY. Close to that overrated tag.
[36:47] No, but. I remember you said.
[36:50] The guy rating him I. Remember you saying the guys
[36:52] that potential? But then yes, what?
[36:56] You got close to. The door potential my no, he's
[36:59] just he's not playing bro. Phil Foden should be a a Premier
[37:04] League icon level player at this time in his career.
[37:06] It's just cause the time that he was hyped up that when he was
[37:09] hyped up at first it was like you thought you were looking at
[37:12] like a a Wayne Rooney level like player.
[37:14] Like to take the mantle as one of the PLS?
[37:16] Yes, like the face of the league.
[37:18] Yeah, Time, bro. And time.
[37:20] Brother he's. 2425. And he already had a he already
[37:23] won a Wayne. Rooney at that age has already
[37:25] been and done everything that he's done and.
[37:27] Then he's playing for Derby in three in Four Seasons after
[37:30] Foden, technically. Okay, but if Phil Phone would be
[37:34] lucky to accomplish what Wayne Rooney has in his career, but
[37:36] whatever, that's all different. Guys, you got trouble.
[37:38] But literally, they could go trouble for trouble.
[37:41] No, Wayne Rooney never wanted trouble.
[37:43] He wasn't there at the 90. 9. But I, I, I don't know, I, I
[37:50] think Wayne Rooney for Wayne Rooney's a lot.
[37:53] Wayne Rooney's Wayne Rooney. Phil Foden's getting a lot
[37:55] closer to the David Beckham type career arc than he is.
[37:59] That's all pretty good. Five games, no good.
[38:01] Still good. But the potential of our saying
[38:03] that saying the potential. Was like like like Premier
[38:06] League icon for over a decade, like the greatest city player of
[38:10] all time potential. If he's gonna, if he starts
[38:12] playing for city starting and he's not playing well, then he
[38:14] gets dropped, then you can. Say I I just can't.
[38:17] I can't see the trajectory. He's like off the bench.
[38:19] Yeah, he changed. The bench, yeah, but Premier
[38:22] League player of the year, the they don't come off the bench.
[38:24] Bro imagine telling Rooney, yeah, you're coming off the
[38:26] bench. 'Cause you're really good off
[38:28] the. Bench like you don't like just
[38:30] Pep's not choosing. You know how weird PEP is?
[38:32] I agree, but once again, a player like Cole Palmer left Man
[38:36] City because he needed he needed to play week in week out.
[38:39] He knew he what he was as a player, he said.
[38:42] He's not giving me the opportunity to show it.
[38:43] I'm going to go show him Phil Folden.
[38:48] He would not be missing shooters.
[38:49] Let's just say if he said, you know, I want to be the main
[38:53] player on my team and not have to rely on players like Holland,
[38:56] KDB, Rodri and sit in the back seat, he would he would two in
[39:01] two seconds. I think every team in the world
[39:03] would take him. You imagine he couldn't play a
[39:06] bar so because I don't think he play left wing, like I don't
[39:08] think they would buy him for a left wing option.
[39:11] They forget and then you take finances into account.
[39:14] Oh yeah, we'd have to put another name on the.
[39:16] Stadium mortgage it would be, it would be more bro.
[39:20] Like I said this before Cole Palmer, but now Cole Palmer kind
[39:23] of stole his whole flow word for word, bar for buy.
[39:26] I said full folding should have gone to Chelsea.
[39:28] I said that back then. And look at where Cole Palmer is
[39:31] now. And look at where Phil Foden is
[39:32] now. Phil Foden goes to Liverpool.
[39:34] Not going to happen bro. Why?
[39:36] Because Liverpool don't buy players.
[39:37] Low key bro Arsenal. That's a crazy move.
[39:42] That would be crazy. He would be like an.
[39:44] All time snake move. It would be all time snake but
[39:48] like it would fit. That's a bigger Van Persie in my
[39:51] opinion. Looks good.
[39:52] That's the biggest transfer maybe in Premier League history
[39:55] potentially. I could see it.
[39:56] Oh. You look good in an Arsenal kid.
[39:59] That's those are some serious. Like he's a he's a kid could.
[40:01] We figure out our 9th situation first.
[40:02] Could we go get a striker before he goes?
[40:04] He, Phil. He's a Childhood City fan so I
[40:06] don't know if. He's a citizen.
[40:08] He's in true, in true he. Was like childhood.
[40:10] City. I thought Millie was the only
[40:12] City fan. Yeah, you know.
[40:13] Me and him, me and him, everybody actually have a
[40:14] picture together. Wait, didn't we, Didn't we start
[40:16] this discussion by talking about Bayern?
[40:18] Or did we not wake up yet? No, we didn't get to Bayern.
[40:20] Yeah, then I'll get to Bayern. This is still Prem talk, but I
[40:23] mean, listen, if you want to bring him up.
[40:25] But you were in the kits, Harry Kane.
[40:27] Another English player. My brother's that guy.
[40:29] Listen, another hot trick. I think he has eight goals and
[40:31] seven eight goals, 4 assists, seven games.
[40:34] Something like that. Guy's absolutely killing it.
[40:37] This is what we want to see, bro.
[40:38] This is this cinema. Absolute cinema.
[40:41] All these Syria fans, all these La Liga fans, all these
[40:43] Bundesliga fans are just catching on now.
[40:46] There's no this brother is an all timer.
[40:49] He is who you got he. He's been on the same wave.
[40:53] No, no you're not bro. I don't know what you're talking
[40:55] about. Like in the Premier League,
[40:56] everyone knew that he was probably the best striker in the
[40:59] league on a team that did not, I'm not going to say did not
[41:02] deserve him, but like. Accomplish anything.
[41:04] Did not accomplish people. Compared Aguero to him.
[41:07] Aguero is bigger than him. PLPL legacy wise he's bigger
[41:10] than him. Come on, it's.
[41:12] Not Come on man. Before he left he was on pace to
[41:14] be Premier League's all time goal scorer leader.
[41:16] But he was on pace. He didn't do.
[41:18] It he needed like two more seasons.
[41:20] Yeah, but I mean, he did like he's gonna retire without that
[41:23] record. That's part of it.
[41:24] That's part of his. Legacy.
[41:25] He sacrificed that for trophies. Listen, if he Lewandowski has a
[41:29] much bigger legacy than him, for sure.
[41:31] Yes, yes for me. For a byard.
[41:32] As well, he has a much a byard. Maybe he has a better Wikipedia
[41:35] page, but to me, who has two of these right here, I know he's
[41:39] not. I mean, you gotta get these two
[41:40] checked, bro, cuz Lewandowski, no, Lewandowski is clear of
[41:43] this, of this Kane. But listen, Kane, I was actually
[41:48] thinking about we were talking about it before briefly and I'm
[41:51] not going to spend too long if you guys don't think it's even a
[41:53] possibility, but contain still technically win a Balandor.
[41:56] If if Caleb, I'll paint the picture for you. 2026 World Cup.
[41:59] England are going into it as one of the favorites.
[42:02] Kane has an insane season. It goes to Bellingham if if they
[42:05] win the World Cup, it will go to.
[42:06] Bellingham The scenarios need to be so perfect for it to happen,
[42:09] I find, because like, Bayern is a massive club in the world of
[42:13] football, but it's just don't, don't I?
[42:16] Disagree. I see eyes, but you can't deny
[42:18] that Byron is one of the biggest teams in Germany.
[42:20] You you realize that Champions League, the battle was between
[42:22] Byron and Real Madrid for like 10 years pretty much.
[42:26] I don't remember this, Yeah. I don't remember United
[42:28] competing tonight either so but but it he needs to probably win
[42:34] a World Cup, be the top scorer in that World Cup, then he needs
[42:37] to win a trouble with Bayern bro.
[42:41] Brother. So he needs to turn into prime
[42:42] Messi, yes. Yeah, I'm going to be honest to
[42:45] me, yes. I'm saying I'm saying a treble
[42:47] with Bayern. The reason why he pointed out
[42:49] before when we were talking about IT, company ain't winning
[42:51] in the Champions League in his first season at Bayern, but in
[42:53] the odd scenario and K in the odd scenario where he does.
[42:56] In the odd scenario. In the in the very odd it's it's
[42:59] it's more common than Millie's idea stars got to a line of top
[43:02] scorer our. Team is not winning a Champions
[43:04] League with fucking UPA McConnell and came at center
[43:06] back. It's not gonna happen K?
[43:08] So let's rule that one out. Get ready for it bro.
[43:10] That one's clip crossed out. Check that one off the.
[43:13] The game. The chalkboard.
[43:15] Well they they made it semi finals last year.
[43:16] And Dortmund made the finals. With Tuko as manager.
[43:18] Dortmund made the finals and only lost by what?
[43:20] A goal. Tuko is the perfect CL manager.
[43:23] OK. And Tuko's at England now, so
[43:25] maybe 2026. Yeah, World Cup, but then once
[43:28] again. Playing Byard once.
[43:29] Again, you have to hope that, you have to hope that 'cause if
[43:32] we all win that CL plus the World Cup, I mean, brother, I
[43:35] gave it, that's going to Jude. It's already he already, he
[43:38] already got that those underwear picks and skins with that, with
[43:41] that balloon door. Ready, bro?
[43:42] Those are those Jude Balling and predators about to fly off the
[43:45] shelves. He can't even be Vinny.
[43:47] That sweat suit Jay, that be Vinny.
[43:49] Weber if they win the World Cup, if England win the World Cup,
[43:51] I'm just saying this is the last year he can do it and no.
[43:56] I don't think he will last year situation.
[43:58] Oh, Benzema won at what year? At what, age 33?
[44:00] He's last year. He went to Saudi the year after.
[44:03] How? How old was Benzema when he won
[44:04] his World 2? 33, No, yeah, yeah, around
[44:06] there. I think he was 35 when he left,
[44:08] so he's young, 34. Maybe he has time.
[44:10] Really. That's.
[44:11] Crazy Kane's got a bit more time he's got at least.
[44:13] But that was Real Madrid. Yes, but but Bayern, I feel like
[44:16] Ken Bayern has. Had a couple of Bounder winners.
[44:20] Like but Bayern won a second of. Now is not the Bayern that
[44:23] you're talking about a couple of years ago, but.
[44:24] Bayern won a like I don't see Bayern.
[44:26] Four years Champions League competitor this year.
[44:29] Oh, that's a very dumb. Thing it's not.
[44:31] That is. Well last season they finished
[44:33] third in the Bundesliga and went to a Champions League semi final
[44:35] beating Arsenal. Which is Which is your favorite
[44:37] leagues? Second team, second place team.
[44:40] So I I think it's an accomplishment under.
[44:43] Saying Bayern are not gonna be in that quarter final semi
[44:45] finals. I'm saying when push comes to
[44:48] shove, I still pick four teams above them probably.
[44:52] And that's we'll see what that's how one of those or no, OK,
[44:55] we'll still we'll see what the power rankings, bro?
[44:57] Yeah, get ready. Next week I'm.
[44:58] Saying Bro city real face off for each other in a semi final
[45:01] only one goes through. Bayern have a Byron have a
[45:04] final. Bayern have a good path to the
[45:05] final and they're playing versus, let's say they're
[45:08] playing versus City. It's a one game.
[45:10] Anything could happen. Two games, the final.
[45:13] That's one, no? The final, yeah, that's why I
[45:15] heard semi final. Two games, actually.
[45:18] Three games final. That's the CL format. 8 out of
[45:22] 10 series. Best of seven.
[45:24] Bulls check the Bulls sweep. But yeah, I mean, listen, we
[45:29] just wanted, I think that's why we brought up the Byron point
[45:31] was Harry Kane, cuz he's been having an exceptional season.
[45:34] And Pavlovich. Broken collarbone, bro.
[45:36] Yeah, that I am, bro. Bro, did you see how he felt?
[45:39] Hurt collarbone or broken? Broken.
[45:40] Broken. Color, whatever it is.
[45:42] They were, you see, the way he felt like his legs were.
[45:44] I swung on my legs to the. Side.
[45:47] Yeah, it was bad. Nice little.
[45:48] You hate to see that, especially because we have.
[45:49] Such high brace. I know, I know.
[45:51] Who's going to replace him now? Oh.
[45:52] They got midfield. You guys literally hyped him up
[45:54] the day he broke his collarbone. Box to box, Chris is, that is.
[45:57] United tree level and jinxing. That is varva, I better not say
[46:01] any Any inter players bro. Valtaro's winning Malador.
[46:04] All right, now he broke his ACL, he tore his ACLACLMCL.
[46:08] What can you say? Knee reconstruction surgery.
[46:11] Gone Pulled pork. Pulled pork on both legs.
[46:15] My favorite talk pic of the day. Fellas, fellas, fellas.
[46:18] Barsa get 5 one versus. Everyone on the comments, let's
[46:22] get ready to cook. It's time to type.
[46:24] It's time to they're. Already typing I can tell that
[46:26] these guys don't watch Barcelona because Flick actually used a
[46:29] 433 and stand up on front. I actually don't understand.
[46:32] Those are funny. Those comments are funny.
[46:33] Yeah. They're I'm not gonna cause
[46:34] 'cause they're tactical. When you think of it in context,
[46:36] it's very funny. Yeah, side side note, for
[46:38] Halloween I wanted to dress up as a clown with a Barcelona
[46:40] shirt. Crazy.
[46:42] Way, but I'm like that's. Our average Our average
[46:44] commentary. I don't know bro, I I find we're
[46:47] getting ripped for Barcelona Commons that aren't even that.
[46:50] I think we, I think we hyped them up.
[46:51] No, we. Were hyping them up last video
[46:53] and. They were, they were facing
[46:55] Bayern, I'm pretty sure in that midfield, that midfield three.
[46:59] Could it be what? Do you?
[47:00] What do you I? Remember because because it was
[47:01] a bracket. Right, they still commenting so
[47:03] let's keep cheating on. All I need to say, and I said
[47:06] this all year, just wait for the Seattle to come around, boys.
[47:09] Next week we're gonna have a whole topic of discussion.
[47:10] Byron against Barsa. I don't know bro.
[47:12] Barber Barber, is it possible to pop up that Opta image that
[47:16] Opta. The Opta League image.
[47:18] The Opta League image of the league discrepancy between the
[47:21] the top teams and the bottom. Team.
[47:22] I mean, yeah, sure, we can pop it up.
[47:23] So it needs to be said, I think it was Liger and La Liga.
[47:26] They were the bottom two teams, yeah, with the most like
[47:28] disparity versus their top teams and their bottom teams.
[47:31] Yeah, I think I think brother La Liga's Locia shit league.
[47:36] I'm not going to cap. I'm I'm going to I'm going to
[47:38] keep a blunt with you, bro. I'm going to keep a blunt with
[47:40] you. There's like 3 or I'm stretching
[47:43] this four good teams. Maybe you guys decide what you
[47:47] think that fourth team is. I'll if you think real bet this
[47:51] is good, then it's real bet this shoot.
[47:55] Whatever you think is the 4th best team, it's them OK Everyone
[47:59] else outside of that is is relegation in.
[48:02] Manchester United lost to Sevilla in the Europa to that.
[48:05] Was a different Sevilla. That was a different Sevilla.
[48:07] By the way, how is Sevilla now? Is the the relegation in La
[48:10] Liga? They're literally 10th, 12th
[48:12] bro. Last year they were fighting
[48:13] relegation. OK, last year, they're 12th this
[48:15] year. Sevilla is Sevilla not like 15th
[48:17] right now? Bro Sevilla for.
[48:19] The Barca. Lost, I think.
[48:20] I think. The Barca made them look like
[48:22] shit because they are. Shit.
[48:25] Bob Arsa played really well. Sibia was 13. 13 OK, I said 12.
[48:28] But the thing The thing is, is that as soon as Vava saw numbers
[48:32] backing up his his statement, he said, I, that's it.
[48:37] That's all I needed to see you. Have context What's?
[48:39] What's the statement exactly? It basically did a study on
[48:43] where teams Opta has their own scale for teams and they put
[48:49] they put in point form to see there you got you guys are going
[48:51] to see it up on the screen, but you can tell how closely knit a
[48:57] league is, let's say. So it gives a league a rating
[48:59] based on the average team in the league.
[49:01] So you can see that La Liga, the top three teams are at the top
[49:06] and then everyone else is like the.
[49:07] Gap was gapping. Yeah, like everyone else is
[49:10] legit. I'm just going to shit like
[49:13] everyone else was legit. Shit, yeah, there aren't often
[49:15] Position, yeah. But they were.
[49:16] How do they calculate this though?
[49:18] That's what I understand. Because you can you they have
[49:20] their own metric for all the teams, OK.
[49:22] And then you just put all those teams like you, you.
[49:25] It's basically like a power rankings almost.
[49:26] It's basically one big power rankings, but the power rankings
[49:28] like international. Power La Liga defenders like try
[49:32] and bring up argument outside of like 2020 and before, like it's
[49:37] impossible for them, like they actually can't say anything
[49:40] other than Real Madrid and Barcelona and Athletico Madrid.
[49:44] Of what like. Like the strength of their
[49:45] league. But but not but with the with
[49:48] those stats like you see it's it's Liguer 5th, La Liga,
[49:52] Bundesliga and Seria were tied and then the PLL.
[49:55] Was obviously ahead. But not honestly, not as by as
[49:58] much as I thought, but. But that makes that makes sense.
[50:01] Like I would say this is just like whatever, it's just one
[50:04] metric that we found the right stat to see the league of shit.
[50:07] But listen, the Bundesliga, it makes sense how they caught up
[50:09] and they're out on a you have teams like Stuttgart, you have
[50:12] Leverkus and you have Bayer and you have Dork Leipzig, you have
[50:14] Leipzig. These are all like, like this is
[50:16] this is not just three teams. This is a lot of teams.
[50:18] Yeah, it's not like it was 10 years ago.
[50:20] I think you. Berlin like even those type of
[50:21] teams, this is not not like Gatafe is like Gatafe is pretty
[50:25] good. But no, they're they're not
[50:27] good. They just set people think of
[50:29] them as good just because they set up a block in in La Liga the
[50:33] the other players are too shit to beat the block.
[50:35] Teams like Wolves did the same thing against Man City.
[50:37] Yeah, but Wolves is a significantly better team than
[50:39] Gatafe. Yeah, there's no Cunha there.
[50:40] There's no Cunha on Legana. Literally.
[50:43] Sharon Larson was Celta Vigo's best player last season.
[50:45] And Schnag. Shot a Yago Aspas, Nicolo
[50:48] Jackson, Nico Jackson, Villarreal They have the talent,
[50:53] the. Talent is there, I suppose.
[50:54] Yeah. And, and maybe the like thing is
[50:56] that because they're the teams on this Opta rating, whatever
[51:00] they're lower, like when they face off against each other, the
[51:02] quality is still kind of like decent.
[51:04] It's never like a lopsided game unless you have like a Real
[51:07] Madrid, Barsa, Athletico Madrid. But like the issue I find is
[51:12] that they those teams struggle very much to get into the higher
[51:17] competitions. Like they may, they may fumble
[51:19] like through a conference league or whatever, but Champions
[51:22] League top three are set. Oh, like almost nearly every
[51:25] year top 3 is set. Europa League is set almost
[51:29] every year. Like it the the top teams are
[51:32] always ending up in the competitions that make the most
[51:34] money. And then the Spanish, like
[51:35] everyone else, is kind of just like fighting for scrap.
[51:37] But we spoke about this, I think, on a podcast before.
[51:41] The way that they distribute their money in Spain is very
[51:43] much different to the Premier League.
[51:45] Yes, that, that's. All the money goes to the top
[51:47] and then it funnels down. Yes, the Premier League, some
[51:50] Reaganomics like that. The Premier League, it wants to
[51:54] incentivize teams to build up and and give them the money to
[51:59] become a good team. Yeah, and compete.
[52:01] Well, bro, Seri, you can't use that excuse because Seriya is
[52:04] not the same like La Liga. But we we separated amongst like
[52:07] the earners on who's earning that money and gets more of the
[52:09] money. But we always have a, we always
[52:11] have a team in in Syria. Yes, but you have to understand
[52:14] also is that in Syria, if you check the, if you check the the
[52:20] optometric, your top teams aren't competing with the top
[52:24] teams of Spain and and England and like they're very much
[52:28] ahead. But we have a lot of teams.
[52:29] Yes, you have a lot you're Syria's is is more compact like
[52:34] the the bottom teams aren't as bad, but the top teams aren't as
[52:37] good. Yeah, I see the point.
[52:40] It's much more competitive, yeah.
[52:41] Anyway, we we, we just spent 15 minutes shooting on the league.
[52:45] But still good win by Barson nonetheless.
[52:47] It's still flowing Amazing. These guys are forced to be
[52:49] reckoned with and guys like Pablo Torre, I mean, they just
[52:53] keep pulling. They just keep pulling out
[52:54] random new 19. Year old.
[52:55] That goal was amazing. But listen, honestly, the La
[52:59] Mina Mal once again, but this guy is just creating everything.
[53:03] And I don't understand how teams like don't plan for this.
[53:06] It looks like Sevilla was just totally fine with La Mina Mal
[53:09] just running up and down that right side.
[53:11] This guy was just doing whatever he wanted, passes wherever he
[53:14] wanted. And pedrugal rocket firms.
[53:18] Do you remember last? Year we were in the studio and
[53:23] after like down the La Mina Mao's like 6th game or 7th game
[53:27] I walked into the studio and I said bro Barsa have a Ballander
[53:29] winner blink for that. Yes I do.
[53:31] This guy called me absolutely insane.
[53:33] But you know why I called you bro?
[53:34] You. He's only played six games, but
[53:35] you can't say that. Bro ansu fati, bro, remember
[53:38] Ansu fati. Bro ansu fati.
[53:39] Bro Ansu fati. I'm fati, but they too actually.
[53:41] But but those were the things that people also spoke about at
[53:44] that time. Like yes, you don't want 'cause
[53:46] you. I saw so many times Barsa
[53:48] talents. The thing that people who didn't
[53:51] watch him said, bro, you're a. There was a.
[53:52] Clear. There was a clear difference
[53:56] between what Ansu Fatih did when he first broke through and
[54:00] Laminia Mao. Laminia Mao was dominating you.
[54:02] Said it after like three games. We.
[54:04] I said, and I legit said on camera, there's a TikTok.
[54:08] I think about it that we've never seen a 16 year old this
[54:10] good ever in the sport. I think many, many agree with
[54:14] you. The people who watched him.
[54:16] For sure, but now, But now it's common knowledge.
[54:18] Like he is probably the best 17 year old we've seen in the last
[54:21] 10 years or so. 100% the best 17 year old maybe ever.
[54:24] Maybe the only person competing maybe is Pele.
[54:27] Which we don't even know to. Yeah, which the Yee, he has
[54:31] goals that he's probably grabbed on the back of his.
[54:33] I wasn't paying for football back then.
[54:34] Yeah, crazy. Football.
[54:35] I don't think football has descriptions.
[54:36] Like that, I don't know the impact.
[54:38] Foob. Foob Portugal Brazilian.
[54:42] Brazilian football. Is that what you're saying?
[54:43] Foobu Foo. My God.
[54:45] I mean, Yamal, this game in particular was, yeah, this guy
[54:49] plays so mature. Like the way he plays, you don't
[54:52] you don't expect. Him, he doesn't miss a pass.
[54:54] Does not miss a single pass his decision making.
[54:56] His farmers, that's why. Yeah, but bro put him in said
[55:00] yeah, he. Cooks.
[55:00] He cooks. Put him in the Prem.
[55:02] He cooks, yeah, he's one of those guys like a world class
[55:05] player. All respects ball bro.
[55:06] Yeah, yeah. And it's crazy every time that
[55:08] Barcelona had the ball, they would like run up a Rafina,
[55:11] Yamal and Levandowski, bro, the Sevilla's defenses like they
[55:14] didn't know how to manage them. I I.
[55:16] Didn't realize that Laminia Mal was the was the peace boat to
[55:18] put Rafina Levandowski front three to two together.
[55:21] I think it's Flick too. Bro Lewandowski still feeding
[55:24] off of his teammates being good in 2020.
[55:26] Four at least Scoring well, I mean.
[55:28] He made a whole career off of just playing with generations.
[55:31] There was one plate that like it was like a Laminia Malpass Peggy
[55:34] like just fed it. I think it was Pedro.
[55:36] I'm not, you could correct me if I'm wrong, but like, it was like
[55:38] a perfectly weighted ball to get Levandowski in on one-on-one
[55:42] with the. Offside 1.
[55:43] No, it wasn't offside man. He shot it directly at the the
[55:45] goal you remember. Oh yeah, no, that was Jamal.
[55:47] Yeah, like it was such a perfect path on a platter.
[55:50] Oh my God he didn't. But he was on his weak foot
[55:52] though. I don't think it matters like he
[55:54] should still score, he should finish.
[55:56] Latar as far as that. Latar does score that he scored
[55:58] a Bangor today by the. Way well, which scores that but
[56:01] yeah, actually if I had to pick like one game that I want to see
[56:04] this week, it would I would have picked like even theoretically I
[56:07] would have picked Byron Barsa. These are two teams that have
[56:10] been like untested new systems. I want to see them versus each
[56:14] other. I can't think of a better game
[56:15] that we need to see now than this game.
[56:18] This is the marquee game in in the Champions League.
[56:21] It's a shame that there's no other big games, but this is as
[56:24] big as it gets in my opinion. Barcelona have not scored a goal
[56:28] in their last four encounters versus Bayern in the Champions
[56:30] League. Boys, can they turn it around
[56:32] this time? I'm saying no, history repeats
[56:36] itself. I'm, I'm going to say see once
[56:39] again, see all lights on Barcelona crumble.
[56:42] They're getting smoked. I'm going for Barcelona.
[56:45] It's the Flick reunion and Barcelona's been playing pretty
[56:48] fire so. I think Flick's going to look
[56:50] for revenge. Levandowski there too.
[56:53] His his replacement is putting up numbers.
[56:56] You don't think that he wants to score this game?
[56:57] Once a little boy, always little boy, the little brother never
[57:00] becomes the Big Brother. I mean, the Big Brother right
[57:02] now is playing at Barcelona and the little brother's destroying
[57:06] it at Bayern Munich. I don't know.
[57:07] This is going to be a tough matchup.
[57:09] I don't know, I think like Bayern is going to come in.
[57:12] Obviously they they have the stats, they have the wins with
[57:15] Barcelona. I think there's also like a a
[57:17] little rivalry on the Barcelona side of things, but I don't
[57:20] know. I find maybe Kane is not.
[57:22] I don't know. I'm going more Levandoski this
[57:24] time. I think this is a perfect
[57:26] matchup because you have, I don't want to put Alicia on the
[57:29] same level as Yamal, but you have like the wingers with
[57:31] flair, you have Lewandowski and basically the English
[57:34] Lewandowski. You like Evolver's gonna shake
[57:37] his head. But bro, you like, you know,
[57:40] bro, we already spoke about this.
[57:42] Kane doesn't even touch Lewandowski, but Musiala pedry.
[57:46] What's the other pedgy? Pedgy's been on fire.
[57:47] This is pretty this a combined 11.
[57:49] K Mitch Kunde 2 right backs and can't.
[57:51] We do a combined 11 about this. Yes, she did.
[57:53] Get ready for it. Oh well, we did an auction.
[57:56] Did an auction. We did a whole video about it,
[57:58] yeah. Both teams stack up very, very
[58:01] well against each other. It's going to come down to the
[58:04] details in my opinion, who could be more clinical, better passes
[58:07] just and the finishing. You have to finish your chances.
[58:11] I don't think I'm going to be able to bear a Barcelona win
[58:15] this game to. Be.
[58:16] Oh, you will, brother. The the, the Barsa fans, the
[58:18] Barca fans are going to be so loud.
[58:21] It's going to be so not going to be how they.
[58:23] Should bro. In the end this is Flick with
[58:26] experience and company's first time in the Champions.
[58:29] But then. All of Barcelona's team have no
[58:31] experience and then all of Bado, maybe all of Bayern's team have
[58:36] experience. Who?
[58:37] I mean, who's in Barcelona? In the Champions League
[58:39] experience, yeah. Bayern just went to ACL semi
[58:42] final last year. Barcelona, The CAF.
[58:45] They were in Champions League as well though.
[58:46] But they were in Champions League.
[58:47] Man United have Champions League experience then according to you
[58:50] also because we were in champions.
[58:51] League under under Chavi didn't last longer than like a group
[58:53] stage so. Yeah, but if at all doesn't get
[58:54] that right card, if if he did a hypothetical, he did, he's more
[59:01] experienced now like he's been in that competition.
[59:04] He played at the Olympics. For what he was in Champions
[59:06] League. Bro don't.
[59:08] Don't say that he's not. There's no freedom.
[59:12] We need this. Yeah, we do.
[59:14] We need. This.
[59:15] Oh my God. I think this is the first time
[59:17] in a while that I'm kind of like I have.
[59:19] I'm actually going for buying. I mean, this is the first time
[59:22] ever, I think I've ever seen you go for buying.
[59:24] Yeah, but I, I think this is the one of the first games where I'm
[59:26] like, OK, but you know what? Barsa could actually get a
[59:28] result here. If Aston Villa could get a
[59:30] result from Bayern Munich, why can't Barsa?
[59:33] I'm thinking another A2 Villa Park.
[59:35] Come on, A. Two like another one that's
[59:37] gonna be like, that's embarrassing.
[59:39] Where are they playing it? Is it Barsa home?
[59:40] Doesn't matter, it changes a lot if it's Barsa Home 72.
[59:43] Spotify camp new. Spotify camp new changes.
[59:45] Fell under construction. Yeah, they're playing at the.
[59:47] Spotify theme music, Is that the title?
[59:51] Yeah. Start the Olympic of.
[59:52] Yeah, the I love that too, Lewis Companies, these companies, The
[59:57] gold company, bro. Oh no, that's because the the
[1:00:00] camp news. Under construction, they're
[1:00:02] selling it. They're selling it brick by
[1:00:03] brick. Yeah, they put up, they put up
[1:00:05] the parts on on Facebook Marketplace.
[1:00:06] They're paying brick by brick. Getting more sponsorships.
[1:00:10] We're only about 400 bricks today.
[1:00:12] Sorry guys, got to cut it. Cut it loose.
[1:00:15] We're in the red. Yeah, I'm all back to work.
[1:00:18] Coldplay check came through OK, send it to the developer.
[1:00:21] How many? How many more?
[1:00:22] Wait, what? What are the musicians can we
[1:00:23] put on this? Are we making?
[1:00:25] Money. Who's dropping the album next
[1:00:26] week? You just dropped an album, OK?
[1:00:29] Get that guy, get that game every year.
[1:00:32] What's not gonna stop doing these days?
[1:00:34] Did you, did you guys see that video of that guy that goes in
[1:00:37] the Barcelona store that buys $90,000 not like 8008 thousand
[1:00:41] EUR 8008? €1000 worth of.
[1:00:43] Kids thought it was way. More kits because they're like
[1:00:45] collectible, whatever. And now he's just going to.
[1:00:46] Resell them. He was clearing up the racks.
[1:00:48] Oh yeah, it seemed like the it's a Barsa kit, but it has.
[1:00:50] Coldplay the Coldplay I. Saw The Rolling Stones down that
[1:00:53] was. That was nice.
[1:00:54] Rolling Stones is cool. The Drake ovio one.
[1:00:57] Wow, that one's drip. Talking about Drake bro and
[1:00:59] kits. The Venezia.
[1:01:00] The Venezia Nocta. Knock the kids.
[1:01:03] That's. True on the shortlist, low key.
[1:01:06] Drake posted Venezia on their story on his story.
[1:01:08] We're in the multiverse. Bro plus aura and.
[1:01:10] Luca Buzio with a knocked Venezia kid.
[1:01:13] Shut up, that's my slime right there.
[1:01:16] Whoa, John Luca Buzio was an original box to box.
[1:01:18] Enjoy. Friend of the Channel.
[1:01:19] Must have been one of the 1st. He was role.
[1:01:21] I remember he was the first footballer that followed us.
[1:01:24] Yep. It was pretty cool.
[1:01:25] Go talk. Yeah.
[1:01:26] Verification badge. And it's sick to see him
[1:01:28] starting for the United States now.
[1:01:30] Yeah, yeah. Got his first start, No?
[1:01:31] Congratulations, it seems. Like seems like any it seems
[1:01:33] like anyone that becomes friends, anyone that becomes
[1:01:36] friends with box of box ends up being good at sports.
[1:01:37] Let's just say he's friend of the channel.
[1:01:40] All we have to say, but I think I think this is going to be a
[1:01:44] pretty, pretty insane matchup. Kane's going to destroy.
[1:01:48] Kane has never destroyed in a big game.
[1:01:50] Kane hatrick, bro, I'm not going to cap.
[1:01:51] Kane hatrick. Yeah.
[1:01:52] Kane hatrick. Crazy Kubarsi will know.
[1:01:55] Bro, you're pulling up with who? Eric Garcia, bro.
[1:01:57] Kane. Eric Garcia.
[1:01:58] Inigo in a in what's? The difference bro.
[1:02:01] Same shit, different smell, two page.
[1:02:03] Respect Martinez. Two cheeks of the same ass.
[1:02:06] That's the that's the Peaky version.
[1:02:07] It's two books of the same page, but no Kane.
[1:02:12] Kane in a big game challenge we saw last season.
[1:02:14] Do you? Guys bound their potential right
[1:02:18] using your own. Like legit like scroll back half
[1:02:21] an hour, you got me. And you would not believe what
[1:02:24] was coming out of this brother's mouth.
[1:02:25] You got me. Bro, everything that stars need
[1:02:27] to align, that's all we have to say that yeah.
[1:02:28] Listen to World Cup top scorer in the same season as Copa.
[1:02:31] Top scorer win the Copa. America top scorer.
[1:02:36] Champions League drop that one. Out of the pamphlet.
[1:02:38] Yeah, Europa League and Champions League, that one.
[1:02:40] Out of the back of the serial box.
[1:02:42] I'm not the the Copa America top scorer there.
[1:02:44] We go. That's a balance, boys.
[1:02:47] Do you have any final score predictions?
[1:02:48] I know you said some egregious ones, but.
[1:02:50] Like OK, I'm going to get my serious 131 by what?
[1:02:53] Do you want, I'm going to say go ahead, go ahead, bro.
[1:02:57] I'll go, I'll go. 21 Barcelona. You're giving them a I'm think
[1:03:01] I'm on the same wavelength. I'm feeling a little olise goal
[1:03:04] but a. Little back and forth action,
[1:03:06] yes. I got my money on 3/3. 3/3.
[1:03:08] Bro this is a hockey game. God damn.
[1:03:11] It's a basketball game, back and forth.
[1:03:13] It's almost football. Bro this is what the streets
[1:03:15] need. The streets need a a heated
[1:03:17] Champions League matchup. All eyes are going to be on this
[1:03:19] one. Yeah, I'm not going to cap.
[1:03:21] There's not a lot of marquee games this week.
[1:03:23] Is it Tuesday or Wednesday? Wednesday.
[1:03:25] Wednesday. Same time as inter young boys.
[1:03:28] We won't be watching that one. Sorry boys, big TV is going to
[1:03:32] have to be the big TV is reserved.
[1:03:34] The TV is reserved for that game, but we.
[1:03:37] Got one more little topic We. We can head over to, obviously,
[1:03:41] the Seria. This is This is don't click off,
[1:03:42] don't click off, don't. Please.
[1:03:45] Just give us 5 minutes, three games, one zeros.
[1:03:49] That's crazy. Word budo gaucho.
[1:03:51] The typical seria. I was gonna send this in a group
[1:03:54] chat today, but the reason why I think Seria is struggling to
[1:03:59] grow as a whole is because you guys don't put in enough
[1:04:03] emphasis on entertainment as it's the product.
[1:04:08] My personal opinion now I I the with the things like we were
[1:04:14] even having discussion off air. Small things, small things, it
[1:04:17] turned into be a big thing, but like stuff like FPL makes your
[1:04:21] league grow insane amounts. 100% Syria don't have that, that
[1:04:27] those players, those like Leon Bailey's that play at Asimova,
[1:04:30] those like Emboymos and stuff like that, that.
[1:04:33] I'm sure there are you you find. Players like a like a Lukman or
[1:04:38] a de Catillary. But Lukman is like buying a a
[1:04:41] Tottenham player in the Prem. That's not like I'm speaking
[1:04:45] about those like mid. Tables shitting on you.
[1:04:48] Once again, you're just shitting on Seria.
[1:04:50] I what I'm. Not blindly bro, we your teams
[1:04:52] that get promoted get £150 million.
[1:04:55] Bro so get your bag up bro. How?
[1:04:58] How do you? Want every year, like every year
[1:05:00] in the Premier League. Every year in the Premier
[1:05:01] League, Those those bought those top three teams from the second
[1:05:05] division go up. Those are the same ones that go
[1:05:06] down every year. The the competition is too
[1:05:08] spaced out. And with the city, I think the
[1:05:11] issue is that the marquee games end up being stalemate.
[1:05:14] So they end up being like like chess battles.
[1:05:16] Because we're the we're the most technical.
[1:05:18] League of the top five, but that's not like.
[1:05:21] Like, you know, wise. It's no good.
[1:05:22] I I. Agree with you like.
[1:05:23] I'm going to bring this up again once I, I think I brought this
[1:05:25] up already, Dana White, when he started UFC, he put a strict
[1:05:30] emphasis on entertainment is more important than the
[1:05:35] integrity of integrity of the sport.
[1:05:37] That's why I took over boxing. Right, that's why boxing is now
[1:05:40] not going to say relevant, but it's it's a kind of a dying
[1:05:43] sport compared to UFC, which is growing year in but.
[1:05:45] That's different because there's too many belts, there's too many
[1:05:47] different federations. And that's the same thing as
[1:05:49] European football, no? There's so many different
[1:05:51] leagues, there's so many different federations.
[1:05:53] It's way more. Simple Setia's vibe right now is
[1:05:56] is be the best this tactical league, transfer it to Europe
[1:05:59] and and get your money. Through and getting Europeans to
[1:06:01] the sport are not taking they're not going to gravitate towards
[1:06:08] that you're. Right, you're right, but it
[1:06:09] takes a long time to be able to afford the Leon Bailey's, the
[1:06:12] Embuemos, the the essays. Like we can't just go out and
[1:06:15] buy these guys. When you get 150 mil bro look at
[1:06:17] like Nottingham Forest when they came in they spent 150 mil in
[1:06:19] their first summer. So then how can?
[1:06:22] Teams like Como coming in, that's that's big.
[1:06:25] Yeah, that's, that's foreign investment.
[1:06:26] Como is one team where if, let's say it's on, I'll actually like
[1:06:33] deep because they bought players like Nico Paz.
[1:06:35] Nico Paz is actually a baller, yeah.
[1:06:37] And they're not. They're not afraid to take that
[1:06:40] risk when buying players. Fabregas there as well.
[1:06:42] Like, listen, there's marquee signings.
[1:06:43] Remember Monza? Monza tried that tactic.
[1:06:45] Monza tried to do what Como is currently doing by.
[1:06:48] They bought the Italian players. Yeah, they bought, they bought
[1:06:50] better in Italian players to, but it fails, so not really.
[1:06:53] They stayed up, they stayed up and they stayed 10th.
[1:06:56] I. Think no bro.
[1:06:58] Pesino Mbakis is the boyhood Monza.
[1:07:01] Fancy he was born there. And I, I think you're, you put a
[1:07:04] lot of emphasis on the entertainment of marquee games
[1:07:06] because people in England or the United States, Germany, whatever
[1:07:11] they, they want to see an interverse UV Debbie Ditalia,
[1:07:14] let's say as an example, and they want it to be a, a
[1:07:18] slugfest. Most of the time that doesn't
[1:07:20] happen ends up being one chance A1 nothing game or A11 game like
[1:07:24] a couple of the past derbies that have been hyped up.
[1:07:27] Even the CL semi finals have been hyped up the these
[1:07:29] historical monster games. Brother, it was a one nothing
[1:07:32] game. For a neutral who has no
[1:07:34] investment into anything. Unfortunately, unfortunately
[1:07:38] that's not something we could gain viewership.
[1:07:40] Yeah. But unfortunately it's not
[1:07:40] something we could like that's that's a a philosophical issue.
[1:07:45] That's that's wrong. It is controllable.
[1:07:47] It's just the marketing. It's it's.
[1:07:48] Not every dollar. Count it is controllable when
[1:07:50] the Premier League, the Premier League in 1990s when they said
[1:07:53] OK, we are behind the Italian league, we are behind the
[1:07:57] Spanish league, we are behind all these other leagues, How do
[1:07:59] we get to the top of world football?
[1:08:02] They outlined that entertaining football was one of the
[1:08:04] necessities. That's why they developed
[1:08:07] entertaining football. They made entertaining football
[1:08:10] at the forefront other league and look at where all I I don't
[1:08:14] necessarily know how exactly they implemented well, they can
[1:08:17] look it up and you can't make it.
[1:08:18] Up English football is just more.
[1:08:20] There's more goals if that's what you're trying to go back
[1:08:23] and forth. Because they have more talent,
[1:08:24] they have much more talented players.
[1:08:25] And when you agree, when you have no, they do.
[1:08:27] Come on bro. Bro the the Premier League keeps
[1:08:29] buying players from Seria that means the.
[1:08:32] Best talent players from Seria? Bro, a guy like IA guy like I
[1:08:35] knew you would be one of the best brother where it'd be one
[1:08:37] of the best fullbacks. Where did Salah come from?
[1:08:40] Yes, that's because these are the best.
[1:08:42] Players of your league these. Are the best players in your
[1:08:46] league? Yeah, the Premier League.
[1:08:49] It's like you guys are the middle men in a transaction.
[1:08:51] We are just taking the best players from your league and you
[1:08:54] just keep bringing us your best players.
[1:08:56] Struggling on retaining them, but that's a money issue.
[1:08:58] I mean, Salah got sold for quite a buck.
[1:09:01] People like people like KDB that came from Wolvesburg, you know,
[1:09:03] like they're not retaining. These other leagues are not
[1:09:06] retaining. That's why we're using the
[1:09:07] Creme. You're using the Creme de la
[1:09:09] Creme like Leon was a Kyoto Zerksy.
[1:09:12] Yeah, players that you guys were raving about.
[1:09:16] And Calipari joined Arsenal to be like somewhat of a squad
[1:09:18] player of not a squad player but like.
[1:09:20] But listen, if a guy like Zerksy and Calipari would have stayed,
[1:09:24] Bologna automatically becomes a more notable team.
[1:09:26] Now you do that over seasons with multiple teams.
[1:09:28] Then you get to the point where you're premier yes, but if you
[1:09:30] don't have but you're in a paradox.
[1:09:31] It's like the infinite, like infinite poverty cycle like.
[1:09:34] There's too much financial stress on teams like Bologna and
[1:09:38] stuff like that. That they have to sell.
[1:09:39] You have to sell. Because you'll never have a
[1:09:41] Xerxi. I'm pretty sure they just walk
[1:09:42] in your stadium like you have. Yeah, you need you need money
[1:09:45] out if you want money in. But.
[1:09:46] I, I also think, I think firms is going to allude to it a bit
[1:09:49] later, but it was like the marketing issue of it.
[1:09:51] Like you could correlate the rise of the Premier League,
[1:09:54] let's say, with the rise in social media and and mass
[1:09:58] production of content. Because as soon as FPL came in
[1:10:03] Instagram, Facebook, that they really targeted those markets
[1:10:06] that the city, to be honest, lacks.
[1:10:09] Bundesliga honestly is doing pretty well with it, but LA.
[1:10:12] Liga is doing pretty. Well, La Liga is doing decent
[1:10:13] with it. Then all of a sudden you saw a
[1:10:15] rise in the Premier League and entertainment because you're
[1:10:18] trying to get the lowest common denominator.
[1:10:19] What would be the biggest? Bro, it's always right.
[1:10:21] Now it's gonna be the best. And and English, English, the
[1:10:24] English are the most prominent content creators.
[1:10:27] Yes, and English is the bro even in the world.
[1:10:29] Like yes, but even look at look at this.
[1:10:31] I was watching when I finished watching Inter versus Roma.
[1:10:35] You would think, oh, what? What would come on after that?
[1:10:37] Serial highlights, right? No, no Premier League highlights
[1:10:40] started playing after. That provider.
[1:10:42] That's the provider there. There's no, there's no pre pre.
[1:10:45] I know that's the provider. But that's that adds.
[1:10:48] To it. That's a problem.
[1:10:49] The provider, our provider, Fubo for Liverpool, Chelsea, they
[1:10:53] were having a 1/2, not 1/2 time talk the the pre.
[1:10:55] How do you say that pregame, pregame talk?
[1:10:57] There was Lampard, Joe Hart was interested in it.
[1:11:00] The game was in 4K. It was beautiful, crisp.
[1:11:03] And then I was watching Roma Inter.
[1:11:05] They just they, I think they missed, they missed the the
[1:11:07] handshakes. Yeah.
[1:11:08] It didn't went straight to the what I mean, you know what I
[1:11:10] mean? Like it's, it's ridiculous.
[1:11:11] It's down to the core like it's but but in the.
[1:11:13] States in the states they have like Paramount Plus like I do
[1:11:15] think they need to really for. That's helping a lot.
[1:11:17] Well. MLS, you see the guys.
[1:11:19] Will be bro they forced every single team to get 4K cameras to
[1:11:22] set up the same like VAR kind of system like everything is so
[1:11:25] unified games game times like Apple completely revolutionized
[1:11:29] the MLS and it's it's first you got to act like a big boy and
[1:11:32] then you're going to be a big boy and MLS is kind of.
[1:11:34] MLS is doing right now, even La Liga, the Barcelona game, the
[1:11:37] the reap. It's something so simple of like
[1:11:40] just showing the replay while the game is playing cool.
[1:11:42] Yeah, and like the stats that pop up on the screen while La
[1:11:44] Liga, it's amazing thing, yeah. Such simple things, one big
[1:11:47] TikTok we always care about, like when we make our tik toks
[1:11:50] about retention, about putting our Youtubes, putting in depth
[1:11:53] stats like. Small, small things like the
[1:11:55] Premier League goals animation. Yeah, yes, when teams score,
[1:11:59] that was great. It went super.
[1:12:01] Viral 2 days of people nonstop just talking about like it's all
[1:12:04] over my. And, and look at the World Cup
[1:12:06] or not the World Cup, sorry, at the, was it at the EUR where
[1:12:09] they had the. The animation before the.
[1:12:12] No, no, no, it wasn't. That was like I'm saying, like
[1:12:13] when players went up and said Nicholas Jackson, but it was no,
[1:12:17] but that was there. There was another sport that did
[1:12:20] that before. The NFL does.
[1:12:21] That yeah no, but pronounce your players names.
[1:12:24] No, they didn't do that as a joke.
[1:12:25] They did that for the website. No.
[1:12:27] When you yes. They did at the Olympics.
[1:12:29] Olympics. But then it.
[1:12:30] Turned into a meme and then the Premier League did it because
[1:12:33] they knew it would turn into a meme.
[1:12:34] The. Website you could click like a
[1:12:36] for. The impartialization of the
[1:12:38] names. For the partially impaired
[1:12:39] whatever, you could click and hear the sound of it and it's
[1:12:41] like. It's not if they do it, they do
[1:12:43] it because they know it's gonna go viral on social media.
[1:12:45] Yes, I'm telling you they. Also to know how to pronounce
[1:12:48] their names and stuff. Yeah, but then.
[1:12:49] But then they probably doesn't make.
[1:12:50] People say their names improperly so that they can get
[1:12:53] clips out of it, but they're not.
[1:12:54] They're not Logan Paul. They do because it it is a thing
[1:12:58] on social media that went viral in the SO.
[1:13:00] It's for the visually impaired bro.
[1:13:01] Yes, but the the idea is that like.
[1:13:03] They do every. They've been doing it every
[1:13:05] single season since since that. Yes, I'm telling you, I'm looked
[1:13:08] into it. I'm telling you, bro, the ever
[1:13:10] it's it's in a green room and Nicholas Jackson just said his
[1:13:13] name. Nicholas Jackson, because that's
[1:13:14] the way he said his name, not because oh, let's clip him.
[1:13:17] No. I I don't remember them saying
[1:13:19] that ever for names. I, I just, I think that SETI
[1:13:22] unfortunately is too cookie cut. I think in Italy it's a lot
[1:13:25] different. They do have like pregame,
[1:13:27] postgame, whatever, but it's not it's not sophisticated enough
[1:13:30] for outer outer markets, unfortunately, because the the
[1:13:33] football is good the the quality.
[1:13:36] Is I disagree. No, because you're not watching
[1:13:38] middle middle. I'm not.
[1:13:40] Getting mad. I'm not getting mad.
[1:13:41] No, but I'm not saying. You the quality of football.
[1:13:44] The quality of football is is. It's.
[1:13:48] It's good, it's not entertaining.
[1:13:50] OK, but you like for the? Like it or not, you're in the
[1:13:53] entertainment. Industry or let's say a neutral
[1:13:56] who I guess you may value a lot more than a fan of the the
[1:14:00] actual team or the league or whatever.
[1:14:02] They see a three, three score line and they're like, oh, wow,
[1:14:05] that's an entertaining game. But they don't care about
[1:14:07] formations, they don't care about tactics, they don't care
[1:14:09] about physicality. Nothing but us watching it.
[1:14:13] We can go, wow, this is a pile of garbage.
[1:14:16] But you know what? It's 3/3.
[1:14:18] It's good. Thing about CDI is that the
[1:14:20] games could be 3 three but they're decent games or A1
[1:14:23] nothing game. Containment bro like but.
[1:14:24] You're in the entertainment industry, yeah.
[1:14:26] You're when you're, when you're competing Syria versus Premier
[1:14:29] League versus La Liga. When push comes to shove,
[1:14:31] Saturday, 11:00 in the morning Canadian time, which is probably
[1:14:34] what, 4:00 UK time. What are people deciding to
[1:14:38] choose? And it's not going to be a Latio
[1:14:41] Juventus, it's going to be Bournemouth, Arsenal over.
[1:14:43] That it's exposure still, in my opinion, because look at
[1:14:45] Bundesliga. What differentiates the
[1:14:47] Bundesliga, A way of playing with the English 1 Germans and
[1:14:50] England? Like it's the same type of back
[1:14:52] and forth football and a lot of goals here and there.
[1:14:55] But bro, Bayern Munich scores like seven goals a game.
[1:14:58] It's not entertaining because they always win.
[1:15:00] Nobody cares about it. But like listen, like the Unite,
[1:15:02] remember United, Chelsea, was it 2 times ago?
[1:15:05] The like the last time you faced them, it was a it was a boring.
[1:15:08] Game and that's a mid. Table game according to the time
[1:15:11] before bro it was it was shit soccer bro, like football, like
[1:15:15] two games. I'm pretty sure it was fourth.
[1:15:16] It was end to end for 90 minutes.
[1:15:18] Yeah, of just shitty football, but it was one of the most
[1:15:20] entertaining matches I watched last year.
[1:15:22] I'm sorry, Man City has had a couple of very boring games as
[1:15:25] well. Brother game against Wolves was
[1:15:26] very entertaining. Yes, I mean debatable.
[1:15:30] Some people wouldn't like that the the deep block and then.
[1:15:33] Wolves still. Wolves still made it through.
[1:15:35] It wasn't like it was just a. Would you consider the Arsenal
[1:15:38] Man City game entertaining? No, with the right.
[1:15:40] That was the most boring game of the season.
[1:15:41] Yeah, it had. You see, that's a boring game,
[1:15:45] but it still had storylines come out of it.
[1:15:47] Storylines is what Seria doesn't have and they could have because
[1:15:50] you have Milan and enter the the rivals, you have Juventus on the
[1:15:53] come up. Like there are storylines, but
[1:15:55] nobody's talking about them because nobody.
[1:15:57] Nobody. Is very different if you go to
[1:15:59] Italy bro, it's just the Premier League will forever have an
[1:16:02] advantage because N Americans following football North
[1:16:05] American market is massive bro. You have 300 something million
[1:16:07] people in the United States. They're English speakers and
[1:16:10] they're growing up and the first thing right now in their head is
[1:16:12] the biggest league is the Premier League.
[1:16:13] So they're going to stay big for as long as that runs out.
[1:16:15] Why would a guy growing up in Wisconsin that he only speaks
[1:16:19] English, why would he start watching?
[1:16:20] But that also it doesn't apply because look, even people in our
[1:16:23] discord, a lot of people in our discord aren't from.
[1:16:26] But they have family affinity to it, or there's some reason why.
[1:16:28] Gustavo, Gustavo's Argentinian, and he's a, he's a, he's a
[1:16:33] Arsenal fan. Through and through, yeah, but
[1:16:36] you see it everywhere. He's not even Argentinian.
[1:16:38] I'm just he's Mexican. Discord Joe, I don't know, I
[1:16:41] don't remember where he's from, but.
[1:16:42] He's Argentinian. I know he's sorry.
[1:16:43] He's a Mexican. He's a.
[1:16:44] Riverblade fan. It's very weird.
[1:16:46] But maybe if maybe if Seria like outsource the content creation
[1:16:50] to English speakers like us, for example, you would get English
[1:16:54] content for Seria. Now they're not doing that.
[1:16:57] That's the problem. I mean, who is really
[1:16:59] representing for their English speakers?
[1:17:01] Outside of should be diletta. Yeah, she doesn't speak English.
[1:17:05] She should learn she's with, she's with Carius.
[1:17:08] Yeah, she Laurus Carius. Yeah, we can English.
[1:17:10] We can get in English. I can teach her, you know what I
[1:17:11] mean? I think, I think that was the
[1:17:13] package of the marketing package for serias is not right, clearly
[1:17:16] not good is needs to be way. More no, but I disagree about
[1:17:21] just the marketing. The football has to be
[1:17:23] marketable also. Yeah, you don't think Inter and
[1:17:25] Milan games are marketable? But that's one that's games
[1:17:28] happened twice this season. This Latio UVA game I wanted to
[1:17:32] scratch my eyeballs out. But that's because there's no
[1:17:35] storyline to it. Game.
[1:17:36] It was a good game. It was an alright game.
[1:17:38] Bro let's be real here bro, let's cut this shit up.
[1:17:40] But not it's an infinite cycle of you saying the same thing
[1:17:43] bro, you just you just you watch it and before even watching you
[1:17:46] already know what you're going to say about the game.
[1:17:47] It could be a great game and you're still going to disagree.
[1:17:49] This game was shit. This game was boring.
[1:17:50] The players are us. I disagree bro.
[1:17:52] It is what it is. You're not a fan of Seria but to
[1:17:55] keep bringing up the same points?
[1:17:56] Bro it's the. Last the last The last Milan
[1:17:59] Derby was actually and pretty entertaining.
[1:18:03] Yeah, maybe for first. OK, But yeah.
[1:18:06] But I get what you're saying. The the it's the football that
[1:18:08] you want. For entertainment to you is what
[1:18:09] just end to end football with no regard for tactics?
[1:18:12] End to end football, it's it's two teams willing to take a
[1:18:15] chance and win the game. It's not two teams that that say
[1:18:20] compactness over everything like.
[1:18:22] Seem like Juventus is better than Lazio.
[1:18:24] Why would Lazio not play conservative?
[1:18:27] Football, but Lazio's not even showing up trying to win the
[1:18:29] game. They also got a red card.
[1:18:31] Different story. Like like.
[1:18:33] Bournemouth against Arsenal, like there was actual intent
[1:18:37] there. You got a red card, there's a
[1:18:38] different. Story.
[1:18:38] Yeah, but there was actual intent even before the red card.
[1:18:42] Because they have players that have good quality.
[1:18:44] Listen, there's been. Still have good players bro.
[1:18:47] They don't have 150 million to spend every summer.
[1:18:49] So born better than ours, Lazio. I've heard no but.
[1:18:52] That's the barometers. Your barometers are so out of
[1:18:54] whack. Lazio's gonna find Ganduzzi's.
[1:18:56] They're gonna find how much they spend on Ganduzi.
[1:18:58] I don't know. The.
[1:18:59] Finally, we said we were gonna last five minutes on this.
[1:19:01] The transfer philosophies are way too different, are way, way
[1:19:04] too different. You guys in the Premier League
[1:19:06] could actually spend money and say, oh oopsies, he's a flop
[1:19:08] anyways. Anthony.
[1:19:10] 'S 50 million. Dollars, I guess we'll try again
[1:19:14] bro. 50 million and said yeah, you're bankrupt, but if Bologna
[1:19:18] spent 50 million, this brother better be the second coming of
[1:19:21] Christ. Yeah, because this like they
[1:19:22] have no choice. That's just what it is.
[1:19:24] That's. The reality, that's the reality.
[1:19:26] And look who won the Europa League last season.
[1:19:27] So. You find you find value in in
[1:19:29] where the Premier League isn't looking.
[1:19:31] I'm happy with setting up but I agree with firms that marketing
[1:19:33] wise they can do a lot better, especially in the in the markets
[1:19:35] like North America where they have Italians football.
[1:19:39] I I'm not football. I'm not saying that they're
[1:19:41] doing this amazing job marketing wise and that the football's
[1:19:43] letting them down. I'm just saying that the
[1:19:45] football, if it was entertaining, it would be
[1:19:48] marketable. You still haven't told me.
[1:19:50] How do you do that? You can't just say, guys, go be
[1:19:52] entertaining. Yeah, you have.
[1:19:53] To make it players. But how like?
[1:19:55] I don't, I will. I'm gonna look it up after on
[1:19:58] how the Premier League did it, but they make it a forefront of
[1:20:01] their thing to be entertaining. That's what I was gonna have
[1:20:04] really good quality players that can take people on because then
[1:20:06] the tactics change. Bro I cannot get your.
[1:20:09] Scouting up bro, I don't know what's.
[1:20:10] Wrong bro. The scouting is we are.
[1:20:11] Starting the scout bro Brentford, Brock and Buemo from
[1:20:14] league der League Two. OK, OK.
[1:20:17] So it's not like the players aren't there and Buemo was there
[1:20:20] for for Syria teams to buy. And buemo bro.
[1:20:22] And Buemo's a top class Premier League player.
[1:20:25] It's. A second good season in the
[1:20:26] Premier League. Listen, I, I think bro, I think
[1:20:29] we, we're losing it a little. Bit yeah, we could.
[1:20:31] We could go on this for hours. Anyway, you're gonna I need you
[1:20:34] to look up that how to become entertaining because to to me
[1:20:38] right now, there's no basis to it.
[1:20:40] I agree with you that it needs to be more entertaining, but I
[1:20:42] think you can just say be more entertaining.
[1:20:43] But the emphasis is on a UV is on a Milan is on an Inter, maybe
[1:20:47] a Napoli aroma like like if you ain't was winning games 41,
[1:20:52] let's say like it's not. No.
[1:20:54] Yes, yes, the. Emphasis was on the on the top
[1:20:57] teams, then you would just turn out to be like another La Liga,
[1:21:00] which would be a top heavy team that people just TuneIn for the
[1:21:03] Real Madrid. The Barcelona's if the Premier
[1:21:05] League mid table clashes on a Monday night still get a good
[1:21:09] amount of vote. Mid listen that you have your
[1:21:13] opinions on Saturday. The jerseys off, take the
[1:21:15] jerseys off and take the stadium out of the way and just look at
[1:21:18] the football. That's where you like you're.
[1:21:20] You're talking about the Premier League.
[1:21:21] That's because it has buzz, it has FPL.
[1:21:23] You're watching the Monday game because you're freaking out
[1:21:25] because you need FPL points. And that's that's the marketing
[1:21:28] outside of it. If if the Syria had if the Syria
[1:21:31] had an FPL, for example, the league would already be more
[1:21:35] than. Everyone would just be picking
[1:21:36] up defenders because we just had three games and 10.
[1:21:39] OK, but at least you're picking up something.
[1:21:40] At least you're keeping up with something.
[1:21:42] I do not want to whatever, whatever.
[1:21:45] Whatever Premier League games don't end up one nothing.
[1:21:48] They do very little amount to them.
[1:21:49] No, there was one week, I swear two weeks ago that like very
[1:21:52] little amount, it was just one zero.
[1:21:53] Very little amount 2/1. Konte, I'm gonna tell you this
[1:21:56] last thought. Konte played the exact same way
[1:21:58] he played with Spurs that he does for Napoli.
[1:22:01] But he was entertaining in the Premier, by the way.
[1:22:03] Napoli, Napoli frozen none and they won nothing also.
[1:22:05] So you're that's four. OK, Was it frozen none or who
[1:22:09] did they play today? It was Empoli.
[1:22:12] One nothing. Napoli empty.
[1:22:13] It was yesterday I think. Anyway, it was.
[1:22:16] Today it was today he scored the penalty.
[1:22:17] I. Don't think it was today, was
[1:22:18] it? Kavata Scale.
[1:22:19] Morning, morning. In the morning, Kavata scale is
[1:22:21] 6:30 AM. By the way, 6:30 AM kick off in
[1:22:24] North America. What the fuck are they doing?
[1:22:26] It's another issue. The fuck they doing over there?
[1:22:28] Oh, that's been like that for at least 10-15 years already.
[1:22:31] Like, like it's been like that. Like OK 630 but UK at 7:30 so
[1:22:36] it's like. But there's so many, 1 zero and
[1:22:38] one one's in the Premier League, it's actually outside. 11 is not
[1:22:41] bad. Fiorentina won 50, so the goal
[1:22:43] is 6161, actually. OK, listen, the goals are there.
[1:22:47] It's just the storylines aren't like you're not watching, you're
[1:22:50] not tuning into a Fiorentina. Game Khalidi Torino was a movie
[1:22:52] bro those fault modifications 32 you know they were going off
[1:22:55] it's. I don't know.
[1:22:58] Bologna Genoa 22, with a league goal.
[1:23:00] We're going to keep disagreeing. Gina Monti, anyway.
[1:23:04] Too much seriata. Yeah, sorry, but we're
[1:23:06] passionate about it. But The thing is, a lot of what
[1:23:08] we say is it it talks about other leagues, like football as
[1:23:12] a whole. Like this could be the same for
[1:23:13] why Bundesliga isn't the biggest league in the world and why La
[1:23:16] Liga isn't, because I think La Liga, La Liga have the biggest
[1:23:19] shot at becoming the number one again.
[1:23:21] I don't think so. Bigger than they have.
[1:23:22] Bigger than they do the biggest they have the.
[1:23:24] No wall because you have the biggest market, the language.
[1:23:26] The language helps a lot. Spanish is big and Spanish is
[1:23:29] big. Spanish is a market that, like
[1:23:31] it or not, the Premier League will have a tough time picking
[1:23:34] up they will. Premier League have an easier
[1:23:36] time picking up Italians than they do Spanish.
[1:23:38] But they're doing a good job with like Caiseto coming in,
[1:23:40] like McAllister, all these Argentinians and South
[1:23:43] Americans. Managers.
[1:23:44] Spanish managers. That that attracts attention.
[1:23:46] So it's also a matter of buying the right players, like Inter,
[1:23:49] buying Buchanan from Canada, you're attracted a little
[1:23:52] Canadian audience. Musa Waya.
[1:23:55] Yeah, that's good. Pulisic.
[1:23:56] Yeah, Pulisic for the Americans. Listen, we're moving well, but
[1:24:00] we're not there yet. We're definitely second.
[1:24:02] Yeah. Anyway, as always, thank you
[1:24:05] guys for watching. I mean, that's it for episode 27
[1:24:08] and we'll see you guys next week.
[1:24:09] Yeah.
