[0:17] Box Podcast. Nah, Nah, nothing.

[0:24] Your Honor, I'm sorry. On the pitch and Bangula starts
[0:29] our next. Game tomorrow, Would you rather
[0:45] right now? Boys, welcome back Varva.
[0:54] Very good pronunciation in the in the one.
[0:58] Shot bro one try. Yeah, live.
[0:59] I said it was one. None, none, none of them.
[1:01] Let's go. Unless Google translates lying
[1:04] to me, then that's how you say it in Arabic.
[1:06] So. But we don't put in the
[1:07] outtakes. Yeah, no, you, you guys are not.
[1:10] I don't know. That one took a couple of tries.
[1:11] Usually it's one one off the riff, you know?
[1:13] He's has to hear it, OK? But it's 'cause the way Google
[1:16] Translate was saying it here, look, you could.
[1:17] I'll play it at like it's written that the English
[1:22] pronunciation should be DAENA. So Dana, Dana.
[1:26] Not when they say it, it sounds like N, so I don't understand.
[1:34] I don't understand but whatever. If any of you guys speak Arabic,
[1:37] you can let us know in the comments how.
[1:39] Is that did you pick a? Could you pick a?
[1:41] A dialect. No, I don't know, just written
[1:43] Arabic. Arabic, yeah, so.
[1:44] That's a. But I think I am there.
[1:46] There are Arabic like dialects. There's a lot.
[1:49] Every country has its own way of pronouncing stuff so.
[1:51] Apparently some don't understand others.
[1:54] Completely supposedly like this is what I've heard.
[1:57] Saudi is very hard to understand the Saudi dialect so compared to
[2:01] other. Ones and there's some that are
[2:02] like universal yeah there's some that are like I guess it's even
[2:06] Italian have has dialects that oh.
[2:08] Sicilians, you can't even. Understand.
[2:09] Yeah, like, like someone from body you they, they speak
[2:12] Italian. It's a different language.
[2:13] Yeah, yeah. So everybody.
[2:14] 'S the same though. Every single, it's like Catalan,
[2:17] Catalan's a completely different language in Spanish.
[2:18] But that's 'cause there's a lot more like differences in lineage
[2:22] and stuff. I like, like history.
[2:24] Well, yeah, Sicily too, you know.
[2:25] Yeah, Sicily is in its own country.
[2:27] Yeah. Pretty much at this point.
[2:30] But did you guys do anything cool this week or I went up?
[2:33] I mean, really, really never gives us anything.
[2:35] You went up north. Yeah, OK.
[2:37] I went up north for less than 24 hours because.
[2:39] Either no. No, no, didn't ski.
[2:41] The weather was really bad. It was raining.
[2:43] A couple of a couple of the guys that we met up with did go
[2:46] skiing on the Friday and they were like we just got soaked
[2:50] like. Yeah, it was bad.
[2:51] The the conditions weren't horrible actually like the snow
[2:53] and and whatever, but with six degrees or five degrees in
[2:56] Tromblan for those who know Tromblan.
[2:58] Perfect skiing weather though 5°.
[3:00] Yeah, but the snow becomes a little bit wet and sometimes it
[3:03] can get icy. It depends.
[3:05] It depends. But anyway, I did not ski.
[3:07] I went out for less than 24 hours.
[3:08] I could have stayed a second night, but that would have been
[3:10] tired for the live stream I had driven back.
[3:13] In top shape. We're getting old bro, starting
[3:15] to make adult decisions. It's it's those, those decisions
[3:18] that you feel them a bit more now.
[3:20] Yeah, fortunately. Yeah, there's a cool bar in
[3:23] Tromblong. I there was a lot of Americans
[3:25] 'cause we went to, we went to a a bar in Tromblong.
[3:27] It was called Lepitici Caribou. Staple.
[3:30] Yeah. And I think Cornell students
[3:33] from Cornell, were there a lot of Americans, what are they
[3:36] doing there? Fuck they doing that Caribou.
[3:37] Where is Cornell? It it's in, it's an Ivy League
[3:41] school and it's an Ivy. Yeah, Vermont.
[3:43] The only reason I know Cornell is because of the office that
[3:45] that that Andy always said that he went to Cornell.
[3:48] Yeah, and Queens. There was Queen, there was
[3:51] Queens T-shirts. Bro people on Queens don't even
[3:53] go to school bro. That's party party school bro.
[3:55] Ithaca, NY. New York, yeah.
[3:58] New York State. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
[4:00] It's not too far. Yeah, Tremblan is like we have
[4:02] like a pretty well renowned ski destination.
[4:05] It's called Montremblan. But yeah, I mean, that was my
[4:08] weekend. It was pretty chill my.
[4:09] Weekend I went to IKEA. I actually ate at IKEA.
[4:12] Also, it's fire. That's fine.
[4:14] Honestly you can probably not get a better bang for your buck
[4:18] than IKEA food. Like you ate a whole meal?
[4:20] No whole meal less than $10. Yeah, would you get Swedish
[4:24] meatballs? Yeah, yeah, they have.
[4:27] Because we're in Quebec, we have a poutine.
[4:28] So I got the poutine. Swedish meatball poutine, yeah.
[4:30] What? Yeah, yeah, they have a Swedish
[4:33] meatball and. That's $10, like basically $10
[4:35] Canadian. That's not.
[4:36] Cheap couple bucks extra. It was, it was a like, that's a
[4:39] meal. Like I was full, OK.
[4:41] And, and the water bottle was like a dollar or whatever.
[4:43] Like it's crazy that we're saying a water bottle is a
[4:45] dollar is cheap, but like it is cheap.
[4:48] But yeah, IKEA, I mean, I was in there.
[4:51] We walked in at 2:00. I left at six.
[4:54] Or bro, were you furnishing an apartment You.
[4:56] Were trying every single bed. Someone was furnishing their
[4:58] apartment. OK, but it was it like, and then
[5:01] I was also put on duty of building.
[5:03] You guys know I can't build. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[5:05] Like you put, you put two tools in front of me.
[5:07] It's like, what the fuck do I do with someone?
[5:08] Relied on you to. Build.
[5:09] I had to build a whole bed. Me and me and a friend.
[5:13] Well, you know, Sasha, we have to build a bed.
[5:16] It's like Dumb and Dumber. It's the blind leading the
[5:19] blind. Like I'm like, Sasha is a little
[5:22] bit better. I'm like, pass me that thing
[5:23] that you you do to Alan Key. Yeah.
[5:26] And I didn't know the word, but he's like the Alan Key.
[5:28] I'm like, yeah, pass me that thing, bro.
[5:30] And then? Yeah, I feel bad forever
[5:32] sleeping a night night. Night, Yeah.
[5:34] Night one went well so didn't fall through the bed.
[5:37] Whew. OK.
[5:38] Yeah. So yeah, it's.
[5:40] It's four pieces, right? Just four pieces and it's no
[5:43] but. There was like a whole sliding
[5:44] component 2 involved. It wasn't just like a bed or
[5:47] drawers under. Yeah, well, it's, it's a single
[5:49] bed that can extend into a queen bed also, so.
[5:52] Single. Extending it to a queen, it's
[5:54] wild. That's very wild.
[5:56] Yes, why would you need that? But the mattress?
[5:58] What happens to the mattress? I guess if you want to upgrade.
[6:01] There's like a mattress that flips like, it's a single
[6:05] mattress that you can flip open like so it's double layer.
[6:07] Why wouldn't you just permanently have a queen?
[6:09] Because if the room is small if and then don't know the design.
[6:14] Huh. You would just get a single.
[6:15] Room you wouldn't fit anyway. No.
[6:16] But if the room is small and you're not sure if it's fully
[6:19] going to work, like let's say you want to order it, then put
[6:21] in the room and then decide if you want to measure the single.
[6:23] Yeah, measurement. Yeah.
[6:24] Yeah. But you see, like some people
[6:25] like just don't care about measuring like I wouldn't.
[6:28] Measure. I would just.
[6:28] Order and figure it out. I guess you keep it and then if
[6:31] you. Have a transforming bed or
[6:32] measure. Or measure one or the other, one
[6:36] or the other. We're all we're not all
[6:37] measuring inclined, Yeah, Speech Throne, Yeah, but.
[6:40] Twice. Kind of.
[6:41] Thing. Did you do anything interesting?
[6:43] No Stayed old. Bro this guy actually every week
[6:46] like your life is not that boring bro you did, you did
[6:51] stuff bro what the fuck did you do?
[6:52] I was painting. That's interesting.
[6:54] Come up with a. Bullshit story.
[6:55] Then just give us some. Just give us some bullshit that
[6:58] you actually did. You might not even have done.
[7:00] Just give us something. Bro, that was painting.
[7:02] What did you paint? OK.
[7:02] What did you paint an apartment? OK, what'd you paint?
[7:05] Like an apartment walls, white white wall ceiling.
[7:08] So you woke up at 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM and I went to bed at
[7:13] midnight, let's say, and you were just painting the entire
[7:15] time? Yeah, for the most part.
[7:17] Like, I don't know, you chill in the morning.
[7:19] Like I have a coffee, have a breakfast, and then I go
[7:21] upstairs. Nothing crazy for breakfast.
[7:24] But I'm getting 21 questions over here like it's nothing
[7:26] crazy. It's just an espresso, some
[7:27] eggs, and we call it a day. Did.
[7:29] You put any floorboards in the in the apartment.
[7:31] Not yet. Well, is that a plan?
[7:32] Not yet. Yeah, this week hopefully have
[7:35] to find the time White. Well like it's, it's like I'm
[7:39] looking for floors, so I'm looking for hardwood.
[7:42] Yeah, then. Hardwood or engineered hardwood?
[7:45] No, it depends. I'm trying to find a a good
[7:47] price. Yeah, so.
[7:49] So it's a lot of work, so. Guys, life's exciting at over a
[7:53] million FC. Yeah, a lot of work.
[7:54] Yeah. FC like live in a movie right
[7:56] now. I mean you.
[7:57] It's a major motion picture over the UFC.
[8:00] Oh, we went to, we went to watch Marty Supreme.
[8:02] Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[8:03] See. Bro, you need to start
[8:04] recollecting. You need to start recollecting.
[8:06] Me and Paula went to go watch Millie.
[8:07] Also watched another. Yeah it was actually last
[8:11] minute. I had an extra ticket called
[8:13] the. I got, I got the last minute
[8:15] invite, but it's OK that the Academy, the youth Academy call
[8:17] up and we dropped the master class.
[8:19] Last year call up, yeah. Bob, our great addition to the
[8:21] organization. We we had a conversation about
[8:23] it. Like I, yeah, I was conflicted
[8:25] about the movie, but now as in like it's simmering with me.
[8:27] I'm like, it was a good movie. It was a very good movie and for
[8:30] those who haven't watched it, I'd recommend watching it.
[8:32] I agree. It gets the box of box healer
[8:34] approval to go watch. Timothy Chalamet had an insanely
[8:37] good performance. He had a good performance.
[8:38] Whether the movie was insanely good, you can you can decide for
[8:41] yourself, but I like that. Listen, it was it's a ping pong
[8:45] movie at the end of the day, and the theme of the movie didn't
[8:48] matter. You know, like someone's like,
[8:50] oh, it's a ping pong movie. It's probably not that exciting.
[8:52] It was still good despite it being about ping pong.
[8:54] It nothing to really do about ping pong.
[8:55] Yeah, it had a lot less ping pong than you would expect.
[8:58] You would think that there was about the orange balls cause his
[9:00] whole campaign was about these Marty Supreme orange balls and.
[9:02] See them at all? You barely saw the orange balls.
[9:04] They weren't there at all. So yeah, a lot of symbolism, a
[9:07] lot of like imagery, like there's a lot of things going
[9:10] on. For me personally, I found it
[9:11] was a a little too much like in terms of things going on and
[9:15] plotline. He's a simple guy, man.
[9:16] He he likes to watch paint dry. Yeah.
[9:18] Exactly. One thing I do want to bring up,
[9:19] though, about Marty Spring, like the movie itself.
[9:21] Yeah, it was a good movie. It wasn't like my, it wasn't
[9:24] anything like Super. Special in groundbreaking.
[9:26] But in the world that we live in, where it's just every, I
[9:30] feel like every movie company just doing reboots of
[9:32] everything. Like no one's actually releasing
[9:34] creative stuff anymore. I'm sure because it is, it's
[9:37] just it's not main. Creativity.
[9:39] Creativity doesn't get big budgets because it's a risk.
[9:42] Like it's riskier when they when they're releasing their 12th
[9:45] Fast and Furious, they know that they're going to get returned on
[9:48] investment. When you're starting a a
[9:50] campaign from a a movie from scratch that no one knows
[9:53] anything about, it's riskier that you might not see return on
[9:56] your investment if you're a movie company.
[9:59] But if I'm not mistaken 824 the pseudo that that.
[10:01] Yeah, that's why they're the best movie company.
[10:03] Right now they started, I disagree, but that they started
[10:07] Uncut Gems on Netflix. It wasn't it wasn't.
[10:09] It wasn't Blockbuster. Well, Uncut Gems was a
[10:12] blockbuster. But didn't it just it just came?
[10:14] Out. I don't think it was.
[10:15] Classified as lower but. If you have Adam Sandler in your
[10:17] movie bro, it's not a small little.
[10:18] Movie bro. It was a pretty small budget
[10:20] movie. OK, what's what's small budget
[10:22] like we're talking about still millions and millions and
[10:24] millions of dollars I. Don't know what, but no, but I'm
[10:26] saying what I'm trying to say is they did the safe route on the
[10:28] first one because this is a creative, like it's a very
[10:30] creative new type of movie, like Uncut Gems, wasn't it wasn't
[10:33] like a Marvel movie. It was different.
[10:35] Yeah. So they secured their money by
[10:37] sending it, you know, 19,000,000. 19,000,000 USD was
[10:39] the budget. Yeah, it was nothing.
[10:41] Adams founder did it more as a piece of like.
[10:44] Over 50 mil at the box office. Yeah.
[10:46] So they got their money secured by Netflix and then now that
[10:49] they kind of already have a proven track record, got some
[10:51] more funding and made something that actually.
[10:53] MY824820 four hits. Though yeah, I watched, but I
[10:55] watched The Smashing Machine. Also, Dwayne The Rock Johnson
[10:57] earlier I. Didn't watch it but apparently
[10:59] that was a flop unfortunately. It was a good movie.
[11:01] It was a it was a box office flop, but it was a good movie.
[11:03] I watched it. It was pretty good.
[11:05] But yeah, shout out because a lot of people are scared to do
[11:09] creative stuff nowadays. They're they're always just
[11:11] wondering a whole how can we secure revenue and profit?
[11:14] And I respect that they took a chance with this movie and it's
[11:18] good for good on them that it's paying off because I think the
[11:20] movie is doing exceptionally well.
[11:22] I I think Timothy Chalamet like. Like a champ.
[11:25] Yeah, he's. He's a champ.
[11:27] He's the Leo of our generation. Bro bro head head of Dune that's
[11:33] already like he's at least like he's.
[11:35] Yeah. Bro he's literally how many?
[11:37] Scenes like he has scenes that are like people will remember
[11:41] forever, like his speech, the Lisan al gaib yeah, in this
[11:45] movie, smaller scenes, I won't like give any spoilers, but like
[11:48] the scene with the girl and lobby where he's saying like,
[11:51] you know crazy whatever, but like those type of scenes that
[11:54] kind of defines you as a as an. Actor and also like it goes
[11:57] bigger than the movie screen like him releasing that song
[12:00] with SD kids like that creates like you got a lot of buzz for
[12:03] your movie. That's just insanely good
[12:06] marketing that Timothy Xiaomi's team probably thought of that
[12:09] thought. It was a lot though.
[12:10] Come on. I think he's the one who started
[12:12] that rumor. Like, like he, he kind of
[12:15] probably. Like pushed it pushed it but he
[12:18] was getting asked on interviews and stuff like our USD kid
[12:20] whatever. Like what are the odds K unless
[12:22] he created SD kid which he didn't but what are the odds
[12:25] like that? He's obviously everyone knows
[12:27] he's not, but he just used it as a marketing technique for his
[12:29] movie. But when you're to Lisa and
[12:31] Algaeb show like that happens. From yeah, but I think I think
[12:33] it's just a different modern type of movie star.
[12:36] Well, they're just movie star in general, like a Leo Dicaprio's
[12:38] like an older style, like fundamental Hammer, kind of like
[12:41] elevated vibe where it's there's a separation between the artist
[12:44] and and like the people you don't really hear a lot about.
[12:47] Leonardo Leonardo DiCaprio keeping up with the young no.
[12:50] No, no, I no that I understand that.
[12:52] I know that. That we either keeping up or
[12:55] he's slowing them down, yeah. We know that.
[12:57] But like, at the end of the day, the only time you see Leonardo
[12:58] DiCaprio is in interviews or in like spy photos of him on a boat
[13:01] or something. Like Timothy Chalamet is like,
[13:04] you feel connected with the guy. Like you feel like he could, he
[13:06] could just be. Regular you feel connected to a
[13:07] guy that's dating Kylie Jenner and.
[13:09] That's crazy. Fucking just like me bro.
[13:10] He just like me for real. But like at the at the end of
[13:13] the day, he seems much more relatable.
[13:15] Yeah, that's that's a new type of movie star.
[13:17] Now, like that marketing call, I don't know if you saw the like
[13:19] the marketing call that he put out like, yeah, it's like all
[13:22] the control. Yeah, no, but it's created by
[13:23] them. But still, it's hilarious.
[13:24] He's like, I want it to be fucking big.
[13:26] A blimp, a Marty Supreme blimp did it.
[13:29] He did. He's like, and then Tyler the
[13:30] Creator's doing a fog gnaw, whatever the fuck it's called.
[13:33] Yeah, camp fog gnaw. He's like, we're going to put it
[13:35] over that did that. The sphere, the Las Vegas sphere
[13:40] did that. I I just think Emmet Chalami is
[13:42] a genius. Yes.
[13:43] I I 100% agree there was actually.
[13:46] Football. You know who else is in it?
[13:47] Is it not a genius? Ruben Amrim, the haters, guys.
[13:50] Everyone in the hater camp over Apollo FC.
[13:54] We, we took a big loss in last week.
[13:55] We lost. We lost what would have kept
[13:58] Manchester United shit for a very long time.
[14:00] Reuben. Admiral, But it looks like it's
[14:02] still working. So the remnants are still there?
[14:03] Yeah, really don't. Worry, yeah, but it's yeah.
[14:06] But I think it's better. Anything was better than
[14:08] Remnant. That's my perspective.
[14:09] Like I, I told the guys last week, I think also in the
[14:12] YouTube VM, I would like to claim the first Oracle status of
[14:15] 2026. Last week on the pod I said that
[14:18] this this Ruben Amarim rhetoric is feeling a lot different this
[14:22] time. And then 12 hours after, well,
[14:26] he was sacked before he released the pod, but after we recorded.
[14:30] So it was like in between. But less than like 6 hours later
[14:34] after he recorded the podcast, he was sacked.
[14:36] So Varva FC. He was sacked before.
[14:38] Oracle 2026 we. Recorded it on the Sunday he was
[14:42] sacked. Sunday nights while we were.
[14:43] Sunday nights while we were. Looking on the podcast.
[14:46] Podcast was not. So not an Oracle moment.
[14:48] Okay, yeah, so that's how low palace she has to go to.
[14:51] Not well. Because I'm the, I'm the holder
[14:53] of the Oracle. But yeah.
[14:55] How did you text us A5 in the? I just remembered something you
[14:58] took early. 5:00 AM Ruben. Yeah, so.
[15:02] Something told you to wake. Up.
[15:03] There's a disturbing no. There's like when you've
[15:07] reached, you see, I've reached a different level of of doom
[15:10] scrolling. OK, there's so sometimes like
[15:14] not even, I'm not even going to say sometimes.
[15:15] Most nights I wake up just to check the notifications and I go
[15:19] back to bed. That's a different level, but
[15:22] we've reached level. You have to understand we've
[15:25] reached like levels of doom scrolling that you you just
[15:27] wouldn't. Like you knew it was going to.
[15:29] Happen. Please say you're lying.
[15:31] I would like to say look not wake up in the middle of the
[15:33] night. I let's say I wake up at like
[15:34] 4:30 AM or 5:00 AM. Can we go to bed 11:00 at night
[15:39] till midnight? So it's like it's like the bat
[15:42] symbol. It's like in my dreams I get the
[15:44] bat symbol, like the X logo just pops up.
[15:46] Do you do you know how bad that is?
[15:47] It's an illness bro bro. You're killing your your sleep
[15:50] cycles. But if if a transfer happens
[15:53] when I'm in the first there bro, that's all that there.
[15:55] Before. I send the tweet first, bro.
[15:57] It's always vote if you, if you. It's always me, bro.
[16:01] That's informing the streets, bro, Yeah.
[16:02] I actually can't believe that. I I could.
[16:05] Have kept that to yourself, I. Yeah, like FBI couldn't get that
[16:07] out of me. That's crazy, bro.
[16:08] That's really not that big of a deal.
[16:10] Yeah, that's the chat. Is that that big of a deal?
[16:12] I don't like waking up like 30 minutes or maybe 45 minutes
[16:15] earlier maybe sure that's fine but bro like 3-4.
[16:19] Wake up bro I literally just I wake up I know I I checked my
[16:23] phone and I go back to bed like I.
[16:25] Sleep. But you know, when I always
[16:26] like, I always complain. I'm like, yeah, social media is
[16:28] like, yeah, the cigarettes of our generation, whatever.
[16:31] And then Robert I. Wake up for a midnight.
[16:33] Shake wake up for a midnight shake goes outside in his
[16:35] bathroom. Goes like this a couple times
[16:37] and then it goes back to bed. Yeah.
[16:39] This is the person that he's doing is is how social media is
[16:43] affecting people. Guys sleeping, dreaming about
[16:45] having a cigarette, that's what it is.
[16:46] Well. I'm sleeping dreaming about
[16:47] having a here we random here we go bumba about.
[16:50] But it doesn't pay dividends like 99% of the time.
[16:52] You would think you would just sleep through it.
[16:54] No, you would be surprised. Like there's actual bumbas I
[16:56] just wake up to. I don't know for me even just
[16:58] like a Megan Duzi to Fender Bachi right now you guys are
[17:01] going eh, I need to know that bumba you.
[17:02] Couldn't you couldn't sleep after that one?
[17:04] Yeah, that one's like that one. We just wake up to that bumba.
[17:07] You guys get a little peek into the mind of Barbara.
[17:09] Yeah. But your initial reaction when
[17:11] he got fired, because I think this is the first time people
[17:13] are hearing about it, no. It was, it was justified, I
[17:17] think in my personal opinion, like he's been in the job for
[17:19] over a year now. And look, I, I would say there
[17:22] has been progress this year, but like we should, the progress is
[17:27] compared to our rivals. So we are not playing well or
[17:31] we're we're playing all right, but our results are trash.
[17:34] But because Liverpool and Chelsea are also trash, we're
[17:38] saying, oh, we're still in and around 5th place.
[17:40] Like we could still make Europe, but if Liverpool and Chelsea
[17:43] were playing decent, we would be nowhere around the European
[17:46] spot. That's why I think it is
[17:48] justified sacking them because I do feel like the squad could be
[17:51] doing a lot better than they are currently.
[17:54] Like I don't, I don't think that we are a lot better than last
[17:58] year when we finished 15th. Like that's not even close.
[18:01] I think we are better than Chelsea right now.
[18:05] I would say that's crazy our performances like you like this
[18:08] week with our with Fletcher as interim manager, the interim of
[18:11] the interim, we're about to appoint Ole as interim I think
[18:13] or Carrick. It's not even for sure yet, but
[18:15] I would say Ole. So this week we lost, we lost to
[18:20] well, we tied Burnley and then we lost to Brighton and I think
[18:23] it was 43 like the aggregate score of both games.
[18:27] We had six XG, our opponents had two.
[18:28] Like it's just a terrible Burnley scored an OG from an
[18:31] Aidan Heaven goal and they scored a one year goal from from
[18:34] Jane and Anthony. That was a ridiculous goal.
[18:36] But we dominated Burnley. Aidan Heaven.
[18:38] That goal was a fluke, but I don't even know if you watched
[18:40] the game, but that game was a fluke.
[18:42] Did you see the goal? I mean, yeah, it's not, it's not
[18:45] entirely his fault. Did you see?
[18:46] The no his fault did. You see the Muharramovich on
[18:49] goal? I thought so.
[18:50] No, but you still sent that. You still sent that in the chat.
[18:52] You still sent that in the chat, Muharramovich.
[18:55] That you raised my hand. What did I send?
[18:57] Well, you shout out that. Was funny, me and Millie both at
[18:59] the same time. Well, we both sent it at the
[19:01] same time. We were like, oh, perfect for
[19:03] you, Victoria. But yeah, I mean, definitely
[19:08] like this. I, I, I do think that like, we,
[19:13] we spent the last whole year debating like, OK, you're gonna
[19:15] sack Amrim. Who you gonna bring in, though?
[19:17] Like like. The issue.
[19:19] Anything's better than. The issue, the issue that I that
[19:22] I'm trying to get to grips with is OK, like at a certain point
[19:25] it became, it became untenable. Like you had to fire, I'm sure,
[19:28] but there was no foresight to it.
[19:31] It's either like, OK, we go into the summer with a new, like a
[19:34] start fresh, whatever. If you could say there's no
[19:36] justification for that, sure. But now you're in a position
[19:39] where, OK, you're in the middle of you just missed Christmas
[19:42] break, like this is a very bad time to not have a we.
[19:47] Have a week. We have a week right now before
[19:49] our next team. Like for me, you could have had,
[19:51] you could have had a summer, like you know what I mean, Like.
[19:55] In a perfect world, yeah, we could have a whole summer.
[19:57] There's no. Foresight, I was just no.
[19:59] Foresight, yeah, I also see, I see what both of you are saying,
[20:01] sure, but. You did you think like towards
[20:05] the end the last couple months of Amaram, did you think that
[20:08] there was going to be a reality where Amaram becomes your full
[20:10] time project manager? I felt improvement, I just
[20:13] didn't feel there was enough improvement.
[20:15] No, but I'm saying like even management, like forget the fans
[20:17] management, they probably didn't see Amaram's project being
[20:20] another two year project. Like they didn't think he can
[20:22] turn it around. So why didn't they start
[20:25] figuring out the the next interim, the next whatever and
[20:28] then pick a strategic time, which I think it was a good time
[20:31] to sack there. There there is a little gap in
[20:33] the Premier League. There's time to figure it out.
[20:35] Season's not done. No, but why don't have?
[20:37] Why don't you have someone lined up in?
[20:39] That's why. If only the interim.
[20:40] Why wasn't the interim signed as soon as Amarim got?
[20:43] Sacked. I suppose he had like prior
[20:45] things that he agreed to in Norway.
[20:47] Yeah, for like the last week. That's a simple inquiry before
[20:50] you even sack Amarim. Like that's why you see teams
[20:53] probing other managers before they even sack their manager.
[20:56] Like interim, I mean, this is, this is water under the bridge.
[20:59] You just sat your manager. We're talking about interim.
[21:01] But like all they should already have been, he should already be.
[21:03] We also just shouldn't. We shouldn't need the Amarim to
[21:06] beat Burnley like loss against Brighton, the FA Cup or
[21:08] whatever. I don't give a fuck about
[21:09] Brighton. Like the Caribou, I don't even
[21:11] know to be honest. I don't even know what
[21:13] competition FA Cup it was FA Cup OK, I don't even give a fuck
[21:16] about what that loss against Brighton, whatever, I don't
[21:18] care. The Dragons, Burnley.
[21:19] You shouldn't need Ameren to beat Burnley like like we did
[21:22] dominate that game and we should have gotten 3 points out of that
[21:25] game. Whatever you you drew it's
[21:27] annoying result. But that's not because our
[21:30] manager didn't set us up well like we did dominate from minute
[21:32] 1 to 90. I don't really think that there
[21:34] was many avenues where Burnley even got forget three points,
[21:38] one point to be honest and then ended up happening.
[21:40] Whatever I don't I like the Ole interim.
[21:43] I I think I've always been vocal on the channel of me.
[21:45] I like Ole. I think Ole was the best manager
[21:48] poster Alex Ferguson to be honest and his he's proven at
[21:52] Man United like in this specific job, he's proven that he can be
[21:56] a good interim manager. Now I am not for unless this guy
[22:03] once again, I'm setting yourself a failure unless this guy gets
[22:06] like a ridiculous winning streak like ridiculous like he did in
[22:10] the first stint. Obviously he's not a permanent
[22:13] solution and in the summer we should be looking for a
[22:16] permanent, but for right now, I think Ole is the man.
[22:20] Yeah, like you like you've done this before, the Ole, the Ole
[22:23] like bring him in as an interim and then obviously you guys
[22:25] signed him permanently. Like I think you could learn
[22:27] from your mistakes if. That happens again.
[22:29] That's the problem. Then this management should be
[22:31] ashamed of themselves. They're already, in my opinion,
[22:33] should be ashamed because they they've gone full circle,
[22:36] complete new management like I'm seeing upper management and
[22:39] they've returned back to Ole as interim manager Manchester
[22:41] United. Were we not better off with Ole
[22:43] than we were than we are now? So it's not.
[22:47] A bad same shit you're you've gone.
[22:48] Not the same shit. It's not the same shit, but we
[22:50] finished second with Ole like we we are last year.
[22:52] We finished fucking 15th, bro. That's not we are not.
[22:56] I wish we could go back to where we were so.
[22:58] You management's even worse. I wish you also have said that
[23:01] like that 15th isn't necessarily 15th.
[23:03] Like you know you played better than being 15th.
[23:05] Well, no, we we deserve the 15th in the Prem, but it's because we
[23:08] put all our eggs into the Europa League basket.
[23:11] That's why that's. Crazy.
[23:12] That's crazy to say. You guys didn't give a shit
[23:15] about Europa. You were playing what?
[23:16] Do you mean we didn't give a shit about Europa?
[23:17] Every single we were resting team bro.
[23:19] You you didn't see the lineups we were showing up with at the
[23:21] end of the fucking season, bro, in the prep.
[23:23] They literally disgusting. Yes, and we came back and won.
[23:26] By the way, put some respect to Harry McGuire, the GOAT.
[23:29] Yeah, that that's you see, that's the most embarrassing
[23:31] result. Honestly you could have argued
[23:33] he deserved the sacking after that game because that was a
[23:35] shambolic performance. I remember had a really
[23:37] embarrassing tenure, like I really embarrassing.
[23:41] I still wouldn't put it under 10 hog.
[23:42] I still think 10 hog was worse. I I do think 10 hog was worse.
[23:45] 15th. Look, this was definitely worse
[23:47] than Marino. It was worse than Marino where I
[23:50] would say worse than Mangal. Moyes was really bad but like
[23:54] Moyes cause the issue of Moyes is that he took a title winning
[23:56] team and put them in six. So I don't know if like, but
[23:59] that team was really bad. Also, that team was very old.
[24:01] I remember. Yeah, a lot of guys.
[24:02] But I would still say Moyes was better.
[24:04] The Amaram was just I would only put 10 Hogwarts.
[24:07] But just Amaram just didn't have it like any sort of positivity
[24:11] around them at all. It was kind of just like
[24:12] straight off the bat was like, yeah, this team's guard.
[24:14] Yeah. So like, there's gonna be a lot
[24:15] of work like. I think.
[24:17] He lied to us, Muhfucka said. The good days are coming bro.
[24:19] You straight lied to our face. Does the good days include you
[24:22] my brother? Like why?
[24:24] Why the fuck are you lying to us?
[24:25] Straight to our the. Good days are coming as in like
[24:27] when he leaves the good days will arrive.
[24:29] But no, that I mean, the the squad on paper definitely has
[24:31] holes, but it should be doing better than it is.
[24:33] And I think Ole is the type of manager interim that will do
[24:36] that. I I think, but it won't be.
[24:41] It won't be, Yeah, no. I'm just.
[24:43] I'm just. Like I don't even say anything.
[24:45] I'm, I'm how the do you ever wonder like, like how did I get
[24:50] here, bro? Like this is kind of one of
[24:52] those moments like how the fuck did we get here, bro?
[24:54] We're, we're, we're appointing Ole again back as interim
[24:57] management. Like you didn't learn like like
[24:59] it's just going back. And there's the protests are
[25:01] starting again, like there, it's like the toxicity is coming
[25:05] back. So I don't know.
[25:07] Look, I have one question, though, because it's kind of
[25:10] it's been turning my brain inside out.
[25:12] Manchester United manager positions open in the summer.
[25:15] Who's coming on a permanent? I actually think that Ole will
[25:20] become your permanent manager. No, that's not happening.
[25:22] I'm telling you this right now, That's not happening.
[25:24] That's what was said last time and Ole was a good manager,
[25:27] finished second with Manchester United, arguably has a better
[25:31] squad now. I'm looking at World Cup.
[25:33] World Cup is this summer. I'm looking at the position a
[25:36] lot of these international managers are going to end up
[25:38] leaving after World Cup, so I'm looking at Thomas Tookel at
[25:41] England. I think after the World Cup
[25:43] could potentially be leaving Angelotti, Brazil could
[25:45] potentially be leaving. I think he might retire.
[25:48] If he doesn't retire then potentially Angelotti.
[25:51] Pochettino at the USI think after the World Cup for the US,
[25:55] there's no reason for Pochettino to be in that US.
[25:57] Pochettino might be your best shout.
[25:59] The other two just got their managerial jobs.
[26:02] Pochettino. Just got it also.
[26:03] But Pochettino's. It's been a.
[26:04] Little two goal. Two goal If he gets a club offer
[26:09] after the World Cup, he will 100% leave 100%.
[26:12] I think that's teetering towards bigger than Manchester United
[26:16] job. No, not, not right after a World
[26:18] Cup where you have to wait four years for the next World Cup.
[26:20] It's not. Iron job, Bayern job and England
[26:23] job Manchester United Is he stepped down?
[26:26] No, not from the England job. 100% is.
[26:29] Bro go look at who the fuck was inter England manager for the
[26:32] last it's 40 fucking years but because you always.
[26:35] Have got an English manager though you always have to have
[26:36] an English. Yeah, sure.
[26:37] But I'm just saying like, like England is not like, yes, if
[26:41] you're going into a World Cup year, yeah, maybe you could
[26:44] argue that, but you're literally just finished the World Cup.
[26:46] You have to wait another four years for the World Cup.
[26:49] EUR and two. Bro top class managers do not
[26:52] coach international teams, not in World Cup years.
[26:55] It just doesn't happen well. I I just don't see.
[26:58] Him a euro and then after that maybe.
[27:00] Even bro euro yeah sure euros is cool but it's not like you're
[27:03] you're not dying to culture. Yeah, but what I'm trying to say
[27:06] is that Tuko is not going to just give up on a cycle like an
[27:09] England cycle be like after like a year.
[27:12] Maybe if he wins. Maybe if he wins.
[27:14] Then it's like OK. I disagree.
[27:15] That's the complete opposite. If he if he wins, he won't he.
[27:18] Crashes out any loss that isn't a final as a crash like.
[27:21] If he loses, then it's like, oh, I just like I failed to can
[27:23] Chow. Like, yeah, Southgate got way
[27:25] more chances than that. He failed a lot more times.
[27:26] But Southgate never had a club opportunity.
[27:28] No club won in Southgate. Maybe.
[27:30] Maybe the Manchester United job? No, no one.
[27:32] No, no, no. In South Gate it's not
[27:34] happening. We also brought it up, you said.
[27:36] That's not bad. Yeah.
[27:38] But now I like, I think our squad right now for a manager is
[27:41] a lot more compared to when we appointed Amrim.
[27:46] I think it's a lot more desirable.
[27:47] Which player squad, Dello or? Lucha and Buemo Bruno are all
[27:51] sheshko like these. These players are attractive to
[27:56] a manager. It was very much harder to
[27:58] attract a manager when your options are are fucking
[28:01] Garnachal, Hoyland, fucking all these shitters.
[28:04] We have the spending, the spending either way, that's what
[28:06] the promise was. I think you underestimate the
[28:08] the gravity of being the Manchester United manager, like,
[28:12] like Manchester United fans. Are we a big job or are we not?
[28:15] I don't understand. No, but there's there's a
[28:16] weight. There's a weight and a pressure
[28:18] to being a Manchester United manager.
[28:19] Yeah. And it's all you, you end up
[28:20] always getting these, these like courageous, like ambitious, but
[28:25] also pretty cocky 10 hog and amrim type managers that think,
[28:29] oh, I'm up for the challenge, I'm up for the challenge.
[28:30] And then and then they realize like, fuck, like I'm not up for
[28:33] this challenge. Like there is a gravity to be
[28:35] the Manchester United manager if you guys haven't won shit in
[28:38] fucking over a decade. It's it's literally.
[28:40] This is not a desirable. By the fittest bro, if you
[28:43] aren't the top class manager bro, you should not.
[28:45] You have capitalism running the same thing bro.
[28:47] It's like Barcelona when they Barcelona when they were in
[28:49] their banter years bro. They went through manager after
[28:51] manager until they found the right manager bro.
[28:55] And they you seen, they found the right manager.
[28:57] Well, obviously Barcelona are top five team in Europe or top
[28:59] 6. Yeah, early glaze on bar.
[29:01] So this early in the podcast is crazy.
[29:02] Not I mean it's not that crazy bro, like on the right now.
[29:06] They did find the right manager. Chavi was pretty good.
[29:09] I don't know, I just, I just, I don't.
[29:12] The problems in Manchester United are beyond a manager.
[29:14] You guys will just keep signing these Amrim and these 10 out.
[29:16] But also there's no fucking coincidence you keep signing
[29:19] these no name managers. So their hipster manager that is
[29:22] supposed to be the next the next frontier man?
[29:24] At the time of signing was 1. Successful project Ben hog ayat.
[29:28] Once, once, those are the two hottest commodities, you're
[29:31] literally there outside the top five lead.
[29:32] Exactly. Stop appointing these little
[29:34] fucking no names. Stop appointing them.
[29:36] I want fucking actually, I want Tuko.
[29:39] I want fucking Pochettino. Pochettino.
[29:41] I don't even want to be honest. Luis Enrique if his fucking
[29:45] contract that PSG is looking a bitch.
[29:47] Why are you acting like you can get six couple winning manager
[29:50] but Luis Enrique is a fucking Hail Mary down the field like
[29:55] seconds left on the pitch. They don't have the pull.
[29:58] They don't have the pull for these managers.
[30:00] I'm telling you 100% Google. Google is probably the limit of
[30:04] what you guys. Google is 100% stupid to take
[30:07] the job. Inzagi.
[30:09] I would take Inzaghi, but I think Inzaghi would not take
[30:15] well to England. Inzaghi's money hungry taking I.
[30:17] Don't know. I think I think he would do
[30:18] pretty well. I don't know.
[30:19] I disagree. I'm not.
[30:20] What's what's adapt to England like as a manager?
[30:23] Realistically, he plays a 352 and he plays a dynamic system.
[30:26] Like I really don't understand. Like you have the he's never.
[30:29] He's never had. He beat Arsenal last season.
[30:32] They'll sit back and. Observe terrorism ball right?
[30:34] There they'll sit back and observe.
[30:36] That's also a thing is like he plays a bit of terrorism ball.
[30:39] When he needs to. When in the premier, you're
[30:42] going to need to a lot. Do you want three points or not?
[30:44] I want three points. OK, so then, bro, at this point,
[30:46] bro, I'll take Kazaki. Bro, I'm not going to hear they.
[30:48] Want to hear too? Yeah.
[30:49] But I'm done. I'm done on these these guys
[30:52] coming from small clubs. I don't give a fuck if you're an
[30:54] IAS fan or sporting fan. You guys are small fucking
[30:56] clubs. You're you're in the in this big
[30:58] pond. You're a little little fish,
[30:59] bro. You're a little, you're a.
[31:01] Level of pull you need to go to these fucking second tier teams.
[31:07] So that's so fucking stupid to say because then that's like
[31:09] saying Real Madrid needs to go to these second tier teams
[31:11] because they appoint managers from Real Madrid, Castilla and
[31:14] buyer Leverkusen. That's so stupid.
[31:16] And you guys have to do the same for players.
[31:17] It's literally no coincidence. You sign Wolves players and
[31:20] Brentford players and you sign managers from fucking IX and.
[31:23] Bro the Brentford player has been like our best player this
[31:26] season, almost second after Bruno.
[31:28] I'm just, I'm not saying that it's a bad signing.
[31:29] It's a great signing. And when was a good signing?
[31:31] Cunya on the other hand, we'll talk about bro.
[31:33] When do players so so OK? You don't sign big any.
[31:37] I think because you don't have pull, bro, because it's been
[31:39] over a decade, so nowadays bro, your club is a dumb.
[31:42] So OK, it's been for a decade. So can you let me know Real
[31:46] Madrid, OK, so that with all this pull, like they have all
[31:49] these major, major pull, OK, so can you let me know when they
[31:52] signed players from like Arsenal, Man City, fucking ALDI,
[31:56] like big, big team, big players. Don't hurry, Crystal Palace.
[32:00] Louisiana. That's by your new fucking
[32:03] idiot, I said. Real Madrid.
[32:06] Hoisting who was considered the best defender in the Is it bape
[32:08] big? Bro Bape was free.
[32:10] Was Jude Bellingham big? I don't remember.
[32:12] Was he a big player? Yeah.
[32:13] He was a doorman, he was a club. Was Dean hoisting hyped up?
[32:16] I don't think he. Was Brentford?
[32:17] Brentford and Buemmo was hyped up, bro.
[32:19] And you're talking about? Yeah, he was, bro.
[32:21] Stop. This guy, who else wasn't hyped
[32:23] up? Yeah, Lenny Orr wasn't hyped up.
[32:25] Yeah, OK, got. It Trent like, I don't know,
[32:27] starter I don't. Know Millie, you haven't given
[32:29] your opinion on who we should sign as Perman.
[32:33] Honestly, probably in Zagi, I'd say if he's available in the
[32:37] summer, I don't know if I don't know how he's really doing in Al
[32:39] Hilal. I'm not really keeping tabs on
[32:40] it. But let's say at the end of the
[32:42] summer, no, like there's really realistically there's no Club
[32:45] World Cups or anything like that.
[32:46] Like he could, he could definitely take a look and see
[32:49] if Man United's open. I think you do pretty well in
[32:51] fact. 2 system. Surely have a look.
[32:53] But 8352 it doesn't really optimize like.
[32:57] But he could also play 343 like he he could.
[33:00] He's definitely more flexible. 352 and 343 are very different.
[33:04] They're very different. All he did was fucking take a
[33:06] step back. Yeah, I did want to bring up,
[33:09] though, that we shot on Sheschko last week and then he scores
[33:14] three goals this week. Enjoy that, it's my FPL asset
[33:16] right there. So up for trades by the.
[33:17] Way so look I'm still not on the Sheshko is a generational
[33:22] talent. I've been seeing people on
[33:23] Twitter saying bro this guy moves exactly like Ebra.
[33:26] Bro this guy this guy is literally like you.
[33:29] You won't see a better striker build than sheshko.
[33:32] While I do agree, the potential like is a lot more obvious after
[33:36] this week. Like you see, you see plays that
[33:38] this week you actually go like, OK, that was nice like that.
[33:41] That was actually like that I didn't get with Hoyland like
[33:43] ever. Like there was not one play with
[33:45] Hoyland where I'm like, holy shit, you know, black hole.
[33:47] But this week you saw OK, 6 foot 5 frame.
[33:50] He's he technically this week on the ball.
[33:52] He looked he looked pretty good. Like he looked pretty secure
[33:56] technically. And there was a couple clips of
[33:58] his Sprint speed. This guy's rapid, like insanely
[34:01] rapid. So always at that height.
[34:02] That's always good to have. How'd you finish the glaze?
[34:05] But yeah, I still, I still have questions over his consistency
[34:08] and and there was a lot of chances this week that he could
[34:11] have buried that he didn't. So it's about adding a bit of
[34:14] that killer instinct that all the top strikers have because
[34:17] nowadays it's impossible to be a wasteful striker and be world
[34:21] class. So if Sreschel can work on that
[34:23] game, I think we could have a player here.
[34:24] But once again we paid 70 mil for this brother like.
[34:27] He's got, he's got to perform. Yeah, I agree 100%.
[34:30] Got to. Perform and 90 minutes against
[34:32] Burnley, sure you can take indicators from that game, but
[34:36] doesn't it doesn't change. It shouldn't change your
[34:37] perspective on a player. Yeah, I agree.
[34:39] Even even bad players or mediocre players have good
[34:42] games. One thing I.
[34:43] Dominic Calvert Lewins on A6 game goal streak or seven game
[34:45] goal streak? One thing I would like to say
[34:47] though. Imagine if.
[34:48] Imagine if Sheshko was on the same goal streak that Dominic
[34:51] Calvert Lewin was on. You'd have conversations, you'd
[34:54] have like conversations as like a top three.
[34:56] Because 1 plays for leads in the Prem no one will comment that
[34:58] he's world class. Fletcher because he's proven.
[35:00] Fletcher had a common. Years that he's.
[35:02] On Sheshko that really put to light like how much here?
[35:07] So they they asked Darren Fletcher a question basically
[35:11] like saying like, do you take any praise on Benjamin Sheshko
[35:14] this week, scoring three goals where Ameren wasn't really able
[35:16] to get that goal production out of him, But you were He said
[35:19] it's Ben who deserves the praise.
[35:21] He did it himself. I said, we've done a video
[35:22] session. But he worked very, very hard.
[35:24] He's a diligent lad. He trains well.
[35:26] He analyzes his match meticulously.
[35:28] He fought for this moment. I just had the luck that it
[35:30] happened during the match. I was managing.
[35:32] So I'm more than thrilled for him.
[35:33] I think the quote was longer where it goes more into depth of
[35:36] how much how much work Sheshko does put in behind the scenes to
[35:40] actually get better. Why are we talking this much
[35:42] about Benjamin Sheshko? Because bro, he scored two goals
[35:45] versus Burnley, bro. Like what the fuck we talking
[35:47] about bro? Like let him fucking play, bro.
[35:49] Let him have three goals. I actually don't think we hear.
[35:52] The bro Jokanesh can score two goals and I'll still call him
[35:54] shit. 'Cause he is shit.
[35:55] Sheshko's not shit. Same player.
[35:57] No, OK. Voltamada.
[35:58] Voltamada. I actually saw Arsenal fans this
[36:00] week on Twitter saying like oh so we fucked up by not buying
[36:03] Sheshko? Instead of your finish.
[36:05] No, they, no they. They shouldn't have bought
[36:06] either of them. They should have bought a KTK,
[36:07] but yeah, different story. Or Voltamati.
[36:09] Oh, I said Voltamati too, but yeah, no, Chesco's better than
[36:14] Voltamati. Bro.
[36:14] I'm stopping this agenda right now.
[36:16] Voltamati is not good. Voltamati is really not good.
[36:18] Like he, he is not. Good, He's a bit of a.
[36:20] Chesco is a lot better. It's already like his 10th
[36:23] agenda switch of 26th switch. I never rated.
[36:25] You rated Voltamati. You rated Voltamati.
[36:27] I think you said you would have liked Voltamati.
[36:29] I don't like he's not a horrible remember.
[36:31] In the beginning when he started scoring goals in in the Prem and
[36:33] then this guy, this changes he no agenda switch on.
[36:35] Him being good, I said that was a nice play by Insane.
[36:38] OK bro. Please you.
[36:39] Please bro, please. Find me a clip.
[36:40] But you can't. I will can't tell I.
[36:42] Will actually I don't have enough time to like.
[36:43] I can't. Tell we've ultimate all.
[36:44] Of our podcasts, but just don't lie on air, bro.
[36:47] But you can't like you can't tell me Voltemati like he again
[36:51] he has contributed in the Prem like he he has been a a good
[36:55] sign. So.
[36:56] Clear of Cheshko in the Prem he. Has not been a good SO.
[36:58] Clear he's had. Voltemati so far he's.
[37:00] Clinic. Had a better season than Cheshko
[37:02] you? Guys so little because he has
[37:03] more goals. He has like what, one or two?
[37:05] More him. Watch him.
[37:06] It's it's. This is a watch him situation.
[37:08] Cheshko's so much better, not even close on his dodged
[37:11] Voltemati. So Voltemati is so much more
[37:13] comfortable, he's fucking so much more IQ.
[37:15] The assist he got last game, Cheshu could fucking not even
[37:18] dream of making that as. Ultimatte is Dominic, he always
[37:21] knows fucking foreign name. Ultimatte always knows where he
[37:23] is. He's better in the air.
[37:25] Voltamatte is just much better player than Benjamin Shut
[37:27] average. A much better player.
[37:29] If you want whatever you can hold on to that agenda, No, but
[37:31] you age horribly crazy 'cause you change that agenda, just
[37:33] kind of it's gonna age horribly, but whatever it's.
[37:35] OK. But Voltamatte has that.
[37:36] Stupid opinion. I've never had a wrong opinion
[37:38] by my. But Shesko, Shesko, you can't
[37:40] say that that he's had a good season like you can't say that
[37:43] he's. Maybe also I'm not comfortable
[37:44] saying Voltematte has had a good season but when I watch Shesh.
[37:47] Yeah, don't let don't let the shesh go bullshit change your
[37:50] opinion on Goldman. Also, don't let Newcastle's like
[37:52] overall performances with. Basically, no.
[37:54] Don't let fucking Manchester United's overall performance
[37:57] well, Newcastle. Have no center back yeah
[37:59] available none you can talk about it not defending they're.
[38:03] Below you in the table. But when we had no center backs
[38:05] available then. You're Manchester United.
[38:06] Shut the fuck up. Yeah, OK.
[38:07] You're. Manchester United OK automatic
[38:09] contributing games that unfortunately this team loses.
[38:11] So I would like to point this out.
[38:14] Shesko, Voltammati. You have the choice.
[38:15] You're picking Voltammati. Yeah, lock it in right now.
[38:17] Can lock it in Voltammati. You lock 100% save.
[38:21] Shesko. Shesko's not even that good, but
[38:23] he's better in Voltammati. There we go.
[38:24] Not even that good. He knows how he cooks out when
[38:26] he says. That it's not, it's not cooking
[38:28] out Voltammati. Voltammati is mid.
[38:29] They're both. Shesko's just good mid.
[38:31] Just whatever. Like he's not an elite player,
[38:33] but he's good. And now he's good.
[38:35] He went from being all right to not shit.
[38:37] Good. Better.
[38:38] So much better. Good.
[38:38] All right, Mid. Yeah, anyway.
[38:42] On to a definitely more important game and definitely
[38:44] more important teams. Barcelona 32 in an L classical
[38:47] win versus Real Madrid for the Super Cup, the Spanish Super
[38:51] Cup. This was a very telling game.
[38:53] It started off relatively slow, 35 minutes I think it was
[38:56] without a goal and then boom, we got four goals in the first
[38:59] half. At Athena opening the scoring,
[39:01] Yep. And then extra time in the first
[39:05] half was Azui, yeah, that was moving.
[39:06] That shit was insane. And.
[39:07] That was never ending. Yeah, that was like another 9
[39:09] minutes, they said. To a + 3 Rafina header, to the
[39:11] crossbar down to save it, to Garcia, to Garcia falling back,
[39:16] shoot scores. It was very it was pretty
[39:18] exciting, but I think a lot of people agree.
[39:21] Rafina man of the match. Yeah.
[39:23] No, it's fantastic and. This is what I was saying.
[39:25] Seeing a couple of Barsa cooks mentioned John Garcia even
[39:28] though the ball just got shot. Towards him, John Garcia, you
[39:30] got lucky at the end with a couple of good saves, but at
[39:33] Rafinia I said this and that's why I put Barsa third in the
[39:35] power rankings when the Rafinia is playing well.
[39:37] I don't even rate the Rafinia at that level.
[39:39] Like I still wouldn't put him above and bape Kane Holland.
[39:42] I would even put him in the same tier as those players.
[39:44] He's in that tier right below in my opinion, but I still think
[39:46] that Rafinia healthy with Laminium on the other side.
[39:49] That double threat is insane for Barcelona and I think they're
[39:52] going to continue to succeed. Yeah, I know.
[39:54] And honestly, like the the last, the last two minutes or so in
[39:59] that game where Real Madrid had those chances to to equalize, go
[40:02] into penalties like that, that was just poor defending by
[40:06] Barcelona. But at the end of the day,
[40:07] Barcelona I think played better. They played their game more like
[40:10] Real Madrid always played on the back foot.
[40:11] They never took a lead if I'm not mistaken.
[40:14] I think it was 1 nothing 11212232 like they they Real
[40:18] Madrid unfortunately were not as like threatening as I thought
[40:22] they would be and obviously Mbappe coming on, he did
[40:24] nothing. The first time they played,
[40:25] Barcelona did nothing all game, like Real Madrid were the
[40:28] dominant team in that game. This time I'm not going to say
[40:32] it was completely one sided. No, Real Madrid definitely had
[40:34] their fair share of chances, Yeah, they did.
[40:36] So in a normal game I would say draw would be a fair result, but
[40:40] if I did have to pick one I would say Barcelona.
[40:43] I think, I think it was more individual performances, like
[40:46] Rafina took that next level to take over the game.
[40:48] Real Madrid didn't have anyone necessarily taking that next
[40:51] step to take over the game. I think Vinny had.
[40:52] Vinny was the best player. Though he was the best player on
[40:54] Real Madrid, sure, but he had moments and flashes, yeah, like
[40:58] that, that goal to make it 1 one was a very good.
[41:01] Rodrigo did not show. Up.
[41:02] Exactly. That's my point.
[41:03] Didn't show up. So Rodrigo, like I, I, I spoke
[41:06] to a couple of Real Madrid fans. They, they at the gym, actually,
[41:09] I have one Real Madrid fan that always comes up to me and he's
[41:11] always speaking to me like, oh, bro, what do you think we need
[41:12] to do to fix the team and shit like that?
[41:14] So this week specifically, he not to be bro, he's a big
[41:17] Rodrigo fan. He's like, bro, I told you bro,
[41:19] Rodrigo, bro, he's been balling out bro.
[41:21] I told you, bro, This is why we need to build around Rodrigo,
[41:24] bro. This is why we can't keep.
[41:26] He brought up that because Angelotti kept and and shabby
[41:30] Lonzo out to start, they kept switching in positions that all
[41:32] left wing, right wing, attacking midfielder, sometimes strikers,
[41:35] stuff like that. Like he never was able to get
[41:37] comfortable in a position. He said now he's playing right
[41:39] wing consistently. He he's getting comfortable in
[41:42] the right wing, he's getting comfortable and now he's
[41:44] dropping mad at match performances.
[41:46] Well now today bro, where the fuck was Rodrigo?
[41:48] He was playing left back at one point.
[41:49] Where the fuck was Rodrigo Brian?
[41:51] Yeah, he was playing behind. I don't know what was happening
[41:53] there, but yeah, no, Rodrigo did not show up at all today.
[41:56] But yeah, no, Barcelona deserved to win in my opinion and.
[42:01] It's like, it's like watching a movie.
[42:02] You kind of have to give yourself a day to kind of feel.
[42:06] I see how you feel about it. I'm still not sure who lost the
[42:09] game and who won the game, you know what I'm saying?
[42:12] Like like. I can.
[42:13] Maybe that's just policy is who lost, but it's written there.
[42:16] Real Madrid lost the game and Barcelona.
[42:17] Won Steve over like you you your brain it's your brain thinks in
[42:21] 2 dimensions yeah I think 3 dimensions like I've I've opened
[42:24] my that why I'm. 1st and I feel. I've opened my third eye.
[42:28] You still only have two eyes open.
[42:29] I've opened my third eye. I don't know if it was
[42:32] Barcelona's, Barcelona's success that like won them, dominated
[42:36] them the game, but I think Real Madrid failed this game.
[42:41] I think Barcelona wasn't that wasn't that good.
[42:44] Like aside from Rafina, can we say that anyone played
[42:46] magnificently? No.
[42:47] No, but I think it was more like who imposed themselves on the
[42:50] game more and that was Barcelona.
[42:51] Barce's defense was not playing well.
[42:53] No, they weren't. The one time, the one time
[42:55] Vinicius decided to cut them open, he cut them open like.
[42:57] Kunde. Kunde was Kunde who?
[42:59] Made generational. Disaster did not have a good.
[43:01] Game Kubarsi was in the moon a couple times yeah John Garcia
[43:05] made two saves and that's only because that's only because they
[43:08] were out as. Jul Kunde, you are lucky that
[43:11] Barcelona won this game because if not, you were getting
[43:13] catapulted out of this atmosphere by Barcelona for.
[43:16] A rough game I. Think Rail, you would have been
[43:18] sent on a pilgrimage. You would have actually had to
[43:20] have been sent on a pilgrimage, and you're a pilgrimage.
[43:22] You wouldn't have been sent to Jerusalem, bro, because you're
[43:24] such a fashion guy. You would have been sent on a
[43:25] pilgrimage to fucking Milan, Paris, NY.
[43:29] That's why that's your pilgrimage.
[43:31] Yeah. Fashion Week.
[43:32] Exactly. That would have been his.
[43:34] Fucking that would have been his.
[43:35] Pilgrimage. Not at all, but.
[43:37] Real Madrid could have done a lot more, yeah.
[43:39] But I didn't, I didn't feel like Bellingham imposed himself on
[43:42] the game like Kama Vinga was more of like clean up where I
[43:45] was like he, I don't feel like he, he like.
[43:47] Gonzalo Garcia played well. It was for me when I coming out
[43:49] of that Real Madrid game, I'm really pointing towards the
[43:52] outlet was Vinny. It was like the ball always went
[43:55] to the left side and Vinny created mostly everything.
[43:57] That's what happens when our team system isn't like working.
[44:00] It's like, give it to the guy that's having the best day.
[44:03] But when your guy who's having the best day is like a top ten
[44:06] player in the world or top five player in the world, like.
[44:08] Well, he's not. So yeah, he is, I guess.
[44:10] I guess we can ever imagine that, because he isn't.
[44:11] Yeah, whatever, but this Vinnie performance does beg.
[44:17] It has me wondering once again. And you've joined the side.
[44:19] It's it's fat that Firms is not here because once again, he's
[44:22] still on the Mbappe striker. OK, wave Gonzalo Garcia's
[44:27] starting and now we see the left wing position in Real Madrid,
[44:31] which historically, I think the last 15 or 20 years since CR7
[44:35] got there has been like their main attacking outlet in the
[44:37] team. It's been always the most
[44:38] crucial player in the team has always been the left winger and
[44:41] it's kind of like the team was always built with having this
[44:43] outlet at left wing that kind of dominates attacking wise.
[44:47] Now with Gonzalo Garcia starting at striker, I feel like the left
[44:49] wing position at Real Madrid is back.
[44:51] It's like the the the most threatening player in Real
[44:53] Madrid are actually able to consistently get attacks down
[44:56] the left wing and and that's where it influences the matches.
[45:00] Damn bro ask your fucking question.
[45:02] Does Gonzalo Garcia now cement himself as a permanent starter,
[45:05] starter, starter in that Real Madrid team?
[45:08] I I said at the beginning of the season, I forget which video was
[45:10] on. I might have even bought stocks
[45:12] in Gonzalo Garcia, but I think he should be starting every
[45:14] single game. The only problem is you have
[45:17] Mbappe and Vinicious and when they're both healthy like.
[45:20] I don't know, like which one do you take out?
[45:21] Yeah, you can't. I just think taking out one of
[45:23] them is stupid. But.
[45:25] But then we have to make some critical transfer market
[45:27] decisions then. Yeah, sending issues to
[45:29] somebody. I think it's more of a of a
[45:31] Vinny issue, but like as we saw Mbappe.
[45:34] You see Vinny today. Yeah, but I also saw Mbappe
[45:36] today and for some reason every time he got the ball, he was
[45:39] always on the left side. Like no matter where you.
[45:41] Put like 6-6 fucking not even when you play 10 minutes.
[45:44] Yeah, but every time he got the ball, he was always like off
[45:47] ball, he would be on that striker position.
[45:49] But getting the ball he was, he found himself so out wide so
[45:52] many times. Like you could just tell that
[45:54] that's where he wants to be at. He's not disciplined in the
[45:57] positions that he plays. Gonzalo Garcia is disciplined in
[46:00] the position that he plays. He knows his role.
[46:02] He knows what he needs to do. So for me, like Real Madrid is
[46:06] missing that type of that type of player.
[46:08] I'm glad they found it, maybe in Gonzalo Garcia, but again, he
[46:12] needs to do this on a more consistent basis, which he's
[46:14] starting to get into. But I also think Real Madrid is
[46:16] missing that like that killer instinct that they used to have,
[46:20] like those clutch moments where at the end of the game, old Real
[46:24] Madrid would have would have gotten a goal, guaranteed,
[46:26] guaranteed would have gotten a goal.
[46:29] But for some reason, like there was a lot of hesitancy the the
[46:33] players just weren't clutch enough and I think they're just
[46:35] missing that they're. Missing the steal like they used
[46:38] to have, bro. They used to be a team of men,
[46:40] bro Casimiro, Sergio Ramos, Cadvajal, Pepe, like it what
[46:45] used to be like Don's at the back, they were.
[46:48] Now it's it's just flimsy. Like you could have like a yeah,
[46:51] Dean Hoyson's insane, but like, he's not a truck nowadays.
[46:54] He's just very good on the ball. But he's not like the the Pepe.
[46:58] Like he's not, he's not there. Even CDM bro Kamivinga is not
[47:02] cast. Samira, what do you like there?
[47:04] There's a certain kind of moving as amazing at ball winning, but
[47:06] he's not dominating games physically like there there was.
[47:10] There's levels of shit where back in the day if Real Madrid
[47:13] wanted to sit back, like it was kind of like, OK, it's game over
[47:16] now. Like they'll just hit you on the
[47:17] counter attack and score a goal. But now, Real Madrid sitting
[47:21] back, it's like you're just asking to get sliced open.
[47:24] Yeah, I know. It's, it seems like they they
[47:26] tried to build this team of just like extremely high technical
[47:29] players, high IQ, but they don't have the physical aspects as
[47:33] much as old Real Madrid would. And I think.
[47:35] Val Verde, I think has been playing decent and filling his
[47:38] role. He did he.
[47:41] I don't think he played well today.
[47:42] He he was more radically dominant.
[47:44] I feel like he he, he tried to impose.
[47:46] Himself gives it. He's like Brendan Gallagher, he
[47:47] gives it his all, but his all sometimes isn't enough.
[47:50] Brendan Gallagher or Connor Gallagher?
[47:52] Brendan. Gallagher.
[47:53] Brendan, Montreal, Canadian. Just get in front of the goalie,
[47:56] get in the 30. Years I I look I'm not the
[47:58] biggest Velvette fan of everyone.
[47:59] Are you a Brendan Gallagher fan? No, I'm not He definitely
[48:02] Gallagher is the Antichrist, even though he's I'm sure he's a
[48:04] nice guy, but. He's actually a nice guy.
[48:06] Yeah, yeah. But Valverde, like he he the
[48:11] last this year, I would say he's probably been one of Real
[48:14] Madrid's best players like. For sure, this year, I think
[48:17] that's actually that's probably not great.
[48:21] The issue the because. It's not he's not their most,
[48:23] he's not in their top. Thing Valverde is that whatever
[48:26] the team needs from him, he will do.
[48:28] Yeah, if you want it to be more selfish and tell the coach like
[48:31] I'm a center mid, like I remember, if you guys remember
[48:34] Ainsley Maitland Niles at Arsenal a couple of years ago,
[48:37] bro, Arteta was putting him right back and he was actually
[48:40] playing well. But then he he went up to
[48:42] Arteta. He's like bro I'm not a right
[48:43] back playing me center mid or I'm like I'm transferring.
[48:45] Started with our he's. That was Arteta's first.
[48:47] Team yeah, like like bro Maitland Niles was actually good
[48:50] at right back. He could have actually developed
[48:52] into being a very good right back, but he told him center mid
[48:55] or I'm leaving the club. He ended up not playing center
[48:58] mid. So he ended up leaving the club.
[48:59] I think he went to Leon or whatever or like I don't know
[49:01] where he bounced around. There was a I don't even know
[49:03] where he is now, to be honest. He went to, he went to Syria
[49:07] also. Didn't he go to Roma or
[49:08] Fiorentino? I don't remember.
[49:09] No, I don't remember him at any of those.
[49:11] No, he went to Syria. I just.
[49:13] Don't know 100%. He went to City, I don't
[49:15] remember which club, but he was a flop there and then, yeah.
[49:18] So basically Valverde fills in wherever the coach needs him to.
[49:22] He has sacrificed part of his career for the betterment of
[49:25] Real Madrid. Now.
[49:26] Is he the best centerman in the world?
[49:27] I would say no. Is this right back in the world?
[49:29] I would say no. Is he the best right winger in
[49:30] the world? I would say no.
[49:31] But he's. He's good, yeah.
[49:33] The versatility is an asset, yeah.
[49:34] But I don't know, I guess we're all, we're all pointing fingers
[49:38] and and all that. But it all leads to the
[49:40] question, what is one thing that Real Madrid is missing?
[49:43] What's the most important thing that they're missing?
[49:46] A good coach. I, I again, it's, it's, it's
[49:49] that killer instinct. Like I mentioned before.
[49:50] I, I think that though, in those moments where you're down a goal
[49:54] 2 minutes left on the clock and you need, you need to score in
[49:58] those moments like we watched the game, they could, they had
[50:01] an eternity to score and they did not convert.
[50:04] They shot a right at Joan Garcia, another header directly.
[50:07] I go, how do you think again? Like what's the one thing that's
[50:09] missing to fix? It's, it's a mentality issue.
[50:12] I really do think that these guys are, are scared.
[50:14] They're not. It doesn't seem like they're
[50:15] they're hungry enough and that comes down to the coach.
[50:19] Yeah, that that that points back.
[50:20] I was gonna say I don't think they're missing anything player
[50:22] personnel wise. Their team sheet is stacked.
[50:25] I think this is a chubby Alonzo issue at Leverkusen.
[50:28] You didn't see that side of him. You didn't need to see that side
[50:30] of him. I don't know if the team sheet
[50:31] is stacked. I mean they still on.
[50:33] I would still point though, they need a defender.
[50:36] They need a defender, a solid start 'cause.
[50:38] Essencio should not be getting minutes like, I don't know, like
[50:41] these Real Madrid. Essencio is one of the worst
[50:42] footballers I've ever watched in my.
[50:43] Life and maybe and maybe a better, maybe a more holding
[50:47] midfielder like another strong anchor that like.
[50:50] Because true and many like low key it's not spoken about enough
[50:55] but true and many because he's won the Champions League in his
[50:57] first year. Like people kind of forget about
[50:58] it. But true and many for 100 mil I
[51:00] don't think has been a resounding 100 mil footballer.
[51:03] He's just been there. Like at the end of the day, he
[51:05] hasn't played. He hasn't been, yeah.
[51:06] But I feel like every year it kind of gets a little worse and
[51:08] worse and worse. Like the last year I think it
[51:10] was very glaring. This year I I not as much.
[51:14] It's kind of like the Enzo Fernandez signing a Chelsea.
[51:16] Yeah, I. Was gonna.
[51:16] I was actually just thinking about that.
[51:17] Like they were both 100 mil where they've been good.
[51:20] Like they're they're definitely starter for the club.
[51:23] Like they're definitely starter level but have they been 100
[51:26] mil? I think if an Adam Wharton comes
[51:28] to Real Madrid, I think to a many can find himself in the
[51:30] bench for a coma Vinga. Replacement to be.
[51:32] Become a vinga could be used in another position, yeah, which
[51:35] should keep him on the starting 11.
[51:36] If I'm Real Madrid, I'm going. The issue is that you buy Adam
[51:40] Morton, OK, you have Adam Morton, you have Jude Bellion
[51:43] starting at midfield, and you have, let's say you put Kama
[51:45] Vinga next to them for the legs. It's still missing that
[51:48] physicality that we're. Yeah, I agree.
[51:50] Like I think Adam Morton and Kama Vinga are definitely
[51:52] physical enough. Maybe in LA?
[51:54] Liga, but then you go and you play an Arsenal.
[51:57] That's not physical enough. You wanna compete for the CL and
[52:00] stuff like that, You need you need the physical monsters in my
[52:05] personal even you come up against Declan Rice, this guys
[52:07] eating that midfielder for dinner.
[52:09] Even Tony Cruz, like obviously we know his technicality, like
[52:11] his technical ability and whatnot, but he was a pretty
[52:14] decent physical midfielder as well.
[52:15] He wasn't like extremely one-dimensional, like
[52:18] unfortunately, like we're not seeing they.
[52:21] Also had Casamiro next to them. Yeah, Casamiro was like purely
[52:24] physicality. That was like pure insurance.
[52:25] I mean Chabi Alonzo in the midfield.
[52:27] Yeah, Chabi Alonzo, Yeah, but yeah, I know, I think Chabi
[52:30] Alonzo unfortunately, like this game wasn't just didn't show
[52:36] exactly what you wanted at Real Madrid.
[52:38] Like they they did not play their game at all.
[52:40] If Chabi Alonzo gets sacked after tonight, we might be.
[52:43] We're 2 for two streak up managers.
[52:45] You understand that right? We're like the grim reapers.
[52:48] I don't know managers. I don't think you will.
[52:50] Like that would that would be crazy rash, like just sacking
[52:54] midnight after. Managers for.
[52:55] Less, Yeah, Yeah. But then again, it's Real
[52:57] Madrid. There's a plan.
[52:58] Do they give? Him a plan Perez.
[53:00] Perez is not your board bro you. Have to understand bro Zidan's
[53:03] available still like they can. I don't even.
[53:05] Zidan, is he actually, Yeah. Because now Zidan doesn't have
[53:07] to watch F Con anymore. Yeah, because he's not all those
[53:09] games, Yeah. Well, his son, his son.
[53:13] Drop the Disaster class, but whatever, that's perfect.
[53:15] Yeah, I don't. Do you bring back Zidane and
[53:18] then maybe after World, like after the season's over, like
[53:21] maybe he goes to for the France job, but.
[53:23] Oh, you bring in Zidane as an interim?
[53:24] I don't think he would do that. I don't think so.
[53:26] I think his, I think his reputation of Real Madrid is too
[53:28] good. Like there's the why go back?
[53:30] Why run it back? That'll be crazy.
[53:32] Because then because then what if he ends up shitting the bed?
[53:34] What a storyline that would be. Yeah, but the nine for half a
[53:37] season, then he goes to France, wins the World Cup of France.
[53:40] He's the greatest manager of all time.
[53:41] Yeah, And we've barely seen him manage.
[53:44] But yeah, I don't know chubby Alonso.
[53:46] There's just way too much pressure on him right now, way
[53:48] too much. Like I even saw people breaking
[53:50] down his his body, his body language.
[53:54] With Flick, yeah. That's that's when.
[53:56] You know your job is done because they did that with
[53:58] Amarim also like no, no, but. He was shaking, flicks hand and
[54:02] like it's like alpha leaning in, leaning in beta, full head of
[54:06] hair, low testosterone. I'm like, I'm like this is this
[54:10] is just happening to. Wrinkle, wrinkles, or whatever.
[54:13] Yeah, no wrinkles or wrinkles. Yeah, Yeah, No, yeah, no, it
[54:16] just was not a good performance overall by Real Madrid and Chabe
[54:19] Alonso, if he if he ends up being sacked, I'm not surprised
[54:22] by it, but it wouldn't be great, would not be great for Real
[54:26] Madrid right now. I I think you don't need a a new
[54:28] manager like to come in and try to restart now and like you
[54:32] still have champions. LEAGUE fact, Oracle status or
[54:35] Oracle status gets moved around over a box of box.
[54:38] I mean you, but you guys both called it.
[54:39] No, both called it. Was my it was my unpopular
[54:42] opinion, but yeah, I've already did agree with it.
[54:44] I guess we'll see them. Yeah, we will see.
[54:46] Cydia I wrote one one there, but it was actually an Inter 22
[54:49] against Napoli. Watch.
[54:51] The Watch The end watch we all watched together I.
[54:53] Wrote Bro. I corrected myself before we
[54:55] actually said it. So yeah, Millie, I have a quick
[54:59] question here. Bill Fart because we all agree.
[55:02] You guys missed the live stream. Barbara has a big funniest shit
[55:04] out of it. What is that?
[55:05] Get out Little fart, Little fart.
[55:06] No fart Bar, fart bar, fart bar, big fart, big fart.
[55:10] There, there was a lot of, a lot of.
[55:12] Different ways of saying it because someone said the I'm
[55:14] going to call you big var from now.
[55:16] On big var big. Var I'm like I like that
[55:18] nickname. So people started calling me big
[55:20] fart. Whatever it sounds so gringe
[55:23] just in replay, but whatever. Basically my question now,
[55:27] Millie, we all agree, everyone here agree.
[55:29] We talk about the game already asking you questions.
[55:32] Look, we can speak, give. Them a recap bro no one watch
[55:34] that shit. It was during the class.
[55:35] Okay, so who scored your first goal?
[55:36] I didn't give a fuck because I was during that class.
[55:39] Who's got the writing? Was demonical demonical within
[55:42] 10 minutes. Nice little banger.
[55:43] Yeah, within 10 minutes, which was great, positive signs.
[55:46] Then Mccomoney scored and I did 11.
[55:48] And then we watched from then on.
[55:50] Yeah, and then integrate a penalty, which Varvar wasn't.
[55:53] Varvar thinks it's not a pen. No, no, no, I didn't say that.
[55:56] I said it's just it's a soft such a VAR soft pen like in.
[56:00] Slo MO it looks way worse. Like it is a pen, it is a pen,
[56:04] it is a pen. It's soft.
[56:05] I do agree it's soft but at the end.
[56:07] It's a cop out bro. It's just a cop you.
[56:09] Got you, got to the tackle late. You didn't go football like
[56:12] that's just. Bro, that's a cop out.
[56:14] Don't don't say it's not. That's a cop out.
[56:16] Again, it's not my fault that that make a turn.
[56:18] That's a cop out answer, but it's not my fault that they gave
[56:21] him that. Make a turn, got to the ball
[56:23] before him. Like unfortunately any referee
[56:25] in that position going to VAR has to give that a penalty.
[56:28] So anyways, make Chalanogu scores the pen.
[56:31] I thought we could seal it, but then Mctobeny 80. 3rd minute or
[56:34] 808080? No, a line got something changed
[56:36] the game, then he got that assist, got the assist, Mctobeny
[56:39] close it up 'cause he's clutch. Maybe that's a maybe that's a
[56:41] Real Madrid. What did Kante do to to?
[56:43] Deserve a softer referee. He was.
[56:46] He was yelling right in his face, passing.
[56:48] He's freaking. Out.
[56:48] Yeah, he was. He was buzzing, but yeah, so
[56:51] game ends 22. So they share, They share the
[56:53] they share a point. Yeah.
[56:54] And. Yeah, so now I can ask my.
[56:55] Question which is great for the table.
[56:57] Great for the table cuz it keeps everything close.
[56:58] Nothing changes cuz Milan tied too.
[57:00] So great tied. No.
[57:02] You guys won. What was the score?
[57:03] 2 Nothing. Sussel 3 Nothing. 3 Nothing.
[57:08] Yeah, I forgot. But basically we all agree.
[57:12] Enter should be the team that is walking away with city out right
[57:16] now. Like we all agree like today,
[57:18] even today against Napoli, like if there was a team that was
[57:21] going to leave with three points, it was probably inter
[57:24] with all these points dropped. Like are you starting to get a
[57:26] bit of like shivers saying sent down?
[57:29] I, I was much more nervous earlier in this season, like
[57:33] obviously lost to UVA, lost to Milan and I don't know if we
[57:36] drew Napoli or lost to Napoli. I I forget the results.
[57:39] But are you starting to get PTSD from last year?
[57:42] Not as much, obviously it's not, it's not a great result 22 like
[57:47] I think we should have won that game, but it's a, it's a step in
[57:50] the more positive direction because again, we didn't lose to
[57:53] Napoli. I I don't like that that's not
[57:55] points dropped. All right, these guys aren't
[57:56] winning the league, but what you're saying shit like that,
[57:58] it's it's what did you say? No, but what I'm trying to say
[58:01] is. It's not points dropped.
[58:03] Well, you dropped the overall title race like you got Milan.
[58:06] Milan drew as well, like in my opinion, earlier in the season,
[58:10] losing to the big teams. I think it was way like everyone
[58:13] was going crazy on on on Kivu, like saying that you should be
[58:16] sacked and whatnot. Like I'm seeing good things.
[58:18] I like what I I like how like the progress that we're showing.
[58:22] So I'm not as nervous as I am, but I am I can see Napoli
[58:26] getting points back. Uvay Uvay's coming back up the
[58:29] table. As well, Cantelo rejected you,
[58:31] OK, you. I just like to point that out,
[58:36] what's the right wing back solution now?
[58:37] Because obviously you guys were screaming out for a right wing
[58:40] back in the track. We're screaming out for a right
[58:41] wing back in this game as well. Louis Enrique played a full 90.
[58:44] Yeah, exactly. So.
[58:45] So what's the, what's the solution now?
[58:47] I don't know. Do you have any names you're
[58:48] linked? To Sasha Bowie.
[58:49] Oh my. God.
[58:50] Any names that you would like to see?
[58:52] I know you said Michael Coyote, which is never gonna happen.
[58:54] Yeah. Coyote was my pick but obviously
[58:57] that won't happen in January. I don't know.
[58:59] Like I saw Dodo from Fiorentino which I'm not a fan.
[59:01] Of Dodo actually had a master class versus Milan.
[59:03] Yeah, I'm just not a fan. I like dodo.
[59:06] Like like for me Ferdia proven no, but for me like going for
[59:10] unfortunately, Fiorentino's in relegation right now you.
[59:12] Want a cheap? You want a cheap solution?
[59:14] Get Dodo. Well, I don't know.
[59:17] Or or or Imagine going from drop pillows.
[59:19] Get your money up and go buy Palestra.
[59:22] Palestra doesn't move me. He really doesn't move me.
[59:25] He's young, he's not supposed to move you, he's supposed to
[59:27] fucking. For 40 mil you better fucking
[59:29] move me. He'd be more expensive than what
[59:30] we pay. He'd be get the same prices.
[59:32] How much was coyote hakimi we we paid 40 mil for?
[59:35] It you want all of your signings to be Hakimi's?
[59:37] No, but there's also there's like to be.
[59:39] Fair, when Hakimi was signed everyone was just like how the
[59:41] fuck did Inter sign him for that cheap?
[59:43] Yeah, well by the way Dumfries, we signed for 25 mil like.
[59:46] I re listened to last week's pod.
[59:48] I would like to point it out to you guys and and firms.
[59:50] If you're listening then point it out.
[59:52] Also like the next couple pods I've been swearing a bit too
[59:55] much so my 2026 resolution is to cut down a bit on the swearing.
[59:59] OK. OK, we'll see bro.
[1:00:00] So if I swear. Swear jar.
[1:00:03] Point it out to me, OK? Varvar potty mouth.
[1:00:07] I'm maybe I do something like for every time I swear I have to
[1:00:10] donate something to donate or something like that.
[1:00:13] My pockets open. Donate Donate to the Millie
[1:00:15] Fund. But I would like to say OK, like
[1:00:18] we'll. Help you on your goal.
[1:00:19] If that's if that's your goal, we'll help you on your goal.
[1:00:21] Because support you, bro. Because I was listening and
[1:00:23] there was that one point when we're speaking about man, it
[1:00:24] probably happened this week too. But when we were playing Man
[1:00:28] United, it was like every fifth word I was saying was just the F
[1:00:31] word, bro. I was like, I was, I was kind of
[1:00:33] like sitting down like bro Barbara, bro, that's not chill,
[1:00:36] bro. You, you sat down and said
[1:00:38] Barbara. Your kids listening to this bro.
[1:00:41] You got to be a good example for the young.
[1:00:43] Exactly right. Big fart's got to be a big big
[1:00:45] fart, bro. Big fart bro.
[1:00:46] We run the. Streets.
[1:00:47] It's the biggest fart big. Fart's a big example, yeah.
[1:00:51] Exactly. So we just just pointing that
[1:00:54] out. But OK, I'll try to.
[1:00:55] I'll try to swear less as well. Yeah, that's not happening.
[1:00:57] And we'll point it, we'll point it out to each other.
[1:00:59] You barely swear. That's such that that's such a
[1:01:02] lie. Yeah, I know that's a lie.
[1:01:04] OK, you don't really swear. First of the swear in this
[1:01:06] podcast loses. Cat just loses.
[1:01:10] Always get there to a coffee. Cat deal.
[1:01:14] So go back, go back to it. You're hard bro.
[1:01:18] We should talk about you then, too.
[1:01:20] Give everyone a fair chance. Can we talk with the man?
[1:01:24] You do it. No.
[1:01:24] No. But yeah.
[1:01:27] I, I, this this performance wasn't a great album.
[1:01:30] I didn't like Summer. I didn't like B.
[1:01:31] Second this one. La Tato had a stinker as well.
[1:01:36] A lot of things need to improve. We need to be more clinical.
[1:01:38] And I think overall, like when we face the smaller teams, we
[1:01:41] perform well, even even mid pack teams.
[1:01:43] We we, we played pretty well also.
[1:01:45] So it again it's just Napoli UV Milan.
[1:01:49] So anybody who's not like super shit.
[1:01:53] Yeah. Should a better word?
[1:01:56] No, no, we are not. We are not claiming that we are
[1:01:59] not really. I have a question.
[1:02:00] I was thinking about it today while watching Enter.
[1:02:03] Yeah, who do you get excited to watch on Enter, if anyone?
[1:02:07] No one. Who do I get excited?
[1:02:09] Like Loki Barala's novelty as Loki falling off, Yeah.
[1:02:12] Barala hasn't been playing well this season, honestly.
[1:02:15] Is there anyone on the team that gets you excited?
[1:02:17] Excited. I don't even know what I can say
[1:02:21] without getting ripped. And if there isn't, do you think
[1:02:25] you need that, or you think it's fine not to have?
[1:02:28] I I think we definitely need a player like that right now.
[1:02:31] I just think everyone's in a more downward or plateau
[1:02:34] trajectory. Low key Bunny when he comes on
[1:02:36] the bench. POI like when PO comes on but.
[1:02:38] That's just see because you cream for him like that's.
[1:02:41] Gets me excited, but I don't. Know in a in a way it's almost
[1:02:43] that your team isn't reliant on a player, which is good like for
[1:02:46] for for Juventus, if Ken and Yieldy doesn't play well, then
[1:02:50] we kind of lose the game. And he's the guy that I'm most
[1:02:52] excited to watch. Yeah, for Manchester United, you
[1:02:55] could say that it's. And.
[1:02:56] Buemo or Bruno, Fernando, Bruno, like you get excited to watch
[1:02:59] those guys and if they don't play well, then the team.
[1:03:01] Probably your day's ruined. Milan Simileo So like, maybe
[1:03:04] Inter's not reliant on a singular player, but I feel like
[1:03:07] good teams kind of need the next I.
[1:03:08] Don't know, like Laltato Laltato's been like that for me.
[1:03:12] That's just. But there's also like a.
[1:03:13] Scantaro does not get you off your.
[1:03:14] Seat like Bastoni for a center back is very entertaining to
[1:03:17] watch for a center back. But.
[1:03:20] You're getting excited to watch the center back.
[1:03:21] Oh no. That that's more the thing like
[1:03:24] I think chala Chala midfield wise.
[1:03:25] It's been good this season. I an injured keep an eye on yeah
[1:03:28] has been injured his injured now well.
[1:03:31] What kind of injury do you do you have any idea yet?
[1:03:33] Oh, I don't. Know I just saw him do a slip
[1:03:35] and slide trying to break up a pass.
[1:03:37] Yeah, that he. Went straight down, brother
[1:03:38] down. DeMarco too, honestly really
[1:03:41] happy with how he's playing and he's getting goals, goals and
[1:03:43] assists, so really happy with him but.
[1:03:46] Exciting sold him, by the way, at first talks.
[1:03:48] Because you had a terrible second-half of the season, I
[1:03:50] didn't think you would recover with the new manager you're.
[1:03:52] Never going to recover financially from that decision.
[1:03:54] That's one I'm happy with. I'm happy.
[1:03:57] So yeah, we'll we'll see. We'll see how the rest of.
[1:03:59] This on on the other side of the coin though, it's how many what
[1:04:03] a player. Mcfratima.
[1:04:04] He's got it bro. He has a clutch gene.
[1:04:06] Manchester United got rid of a real gem there once again.
[1:04:09] I still don't watch I I I watch Napoli and I watch Mctominay and
[1:04:13] Hoyland got got rid of two gems to the same team.
[1:04:16] Please stop this. Napoli went to that honey hole
[1:04:18] twice and there was honey in it. Please stop this gimmick of
[1:04:21] Hoyland being a good player. Please play.
[1:04:23] Well. Bro, he's not good, you know
[1:04:26] that. Good and.
[1:04:28] Not playing well in a few different.
[1:04:29] Things your league is so embarrassing that Hoyland and
[1:04:33] Mcdominy like McDonald never. McDonald had scored seven goals
[1:04:38] in the last seven games, or maybe 8.
[1:04:41] Mcdominy, Yeah. Mcdominy never deserved 9
[1:04:46] Mcdominy never deserved for two braces.
[1:04:48] No Dominic Calvary Luna has scored.
[1:04:51] Wait, nine goals in his last 7? Oh, OK, you're so you're talking
[1:04:54] about night like Dominic Calvary.
[1:04:55] Loon has scored over 15 goals in the prime season before.
[1:04:58] Yeah, well, there's not any, not any recent.
[1:05:00] Season. Oh, please, Dominic.
[1:05:01] Calvary Loon is just not a good player and if you think that's a
[1:05:04] lie and you think that now? It's a lie.
[1:05:06] Bro you're. Acting like a good player goes
[1:05:08] from Everton to Leeds. Bro I love I.
[1:05:11] Just got promoted. I got a good player by the way.
[1:05:13] It wasn't a starter for Leeds, failed upwards, wasn't even a
[1:05:16] starter for Leeds. Did I not?
[1:05:18] First of all, he's the highest earner in the squad.
[1:05:19] He was always going to be a starter for Leeds.
[1:05:22] Second of all. Second of all, Dominic Calvary
[1:05:24] Lewin, I said I'd take him at Man United, so don't come and
[1:05:26] tell me that I Oh my. God, he got the six goal and the
[1:05:29] six goal in a row. It's an addenda Swift.
[1:05:31] If you were that zero goals beginning of the season, I said
[1:05:33] Varva, would you take Dominic? Calvary Lewin.
[1:05:35] Yes. No, I told you he was.
[1:05:37] Already on like a go wait in the sentence.
[1:05:39] I would take him as a backup. Exactly.
[1:05:41] So that does. OK, so I you think I take ship
[1:05:43] players at my club? He's a backup.
[1:05:45] I'm just saying the Premier League, that's the level of
[1:05:47] Premier League. K whatever.
[1:05:48] Dominic Hoyland got a little bit of confidence.
[1:05:50] Hoyland is playing like a good striker.
[1:05:51] We watched the game or we watched the game and we said
[1:05:54] it's always been a confidence issue.
[1:05:56] It was. UN meant to be a bad boy.
[1:05:57] It's the same thing. He left, he got some confidence
[1:05:59] a little bit. Mctominay got confidence all of
[1:06:01] a sudden, battle Gore nominated. You have to understand better of
[1:06:03] us, I was saying. As Lee's manches, you know, he
[1:06:05] just started. For Real Madrid, I was seeing
[1:06:06] Hoyland manhandle center backs. Oh boy.
[1:06:10] I've never seen that in the. Prem and now center backs from
[1:06:12] SETI are manhandling your strikers bro.
[1:06:15] Malik Pio, he's. Not mad at having anything he's.
[1:06:18] Braces winning games Milankovic my God bro.
[1:06:23] Can whatever Mctomeny though? Mctomeny was never a bad player,
[1:06:27] but he was never he. Bro he was a good player.
[1:06:30] Please, Dominic Kavalu is a good player but not mctomeny.
[1:06:33] OK, Mctomeny was an all right player.
[1:06:35] But he was so he was so clutching last season that for
[1:06:37] Manchester United he was a he was a good player on your team,
[1:06:40] wasn't he? Your top goal scorer?
[1:06:41] You guys were sad to see him go. I was not sad to see him go,
[1:06:44] but. Well, I spoke to a lot of
[1:06:45] Manchester United fans at the time and they were all like I.
[1:06:47] Said he wasn't the problem. I sad to see the character go,
[1:06:50] the player itself, like Connor Gallagher, the profile, he was
[1:06:54] not. It's kind of just crazy to me
[1:06:57] that this is the best player in your league.
[1:06:58] Like it's actually just he is he's the best player.
[1:07:01] I mean, isn't you got the players.
[1:07:02] He's the best player. You you watch the game.
[1:07:04] She's the best talk to the. Players, good player.
[1:07:06] You talk to the fans and the players.
[1:07:07] I mean, the players themselves, there was a whole intercucking
[1:07:09] ritual on stage when they said who's the best player?
[1:07:11] Mcdominey. Yeah.
[1:07:12] Based on the last season, what else?
[1:07:14] Mcdominey. Mcdominey.
[1:07:16] But this year, Loki, it's Mcdominey too, again.
[1:07:18] Not. Defenders are scared to play
[1:07:20] yieldies. Not one Yodis was set on stage.
[1:07:23] By the way, because it was. Guilty Yodis in the
[1:07:25] conversation. Moderich is in the conversation.
[1:07:27] Motherich, Charlotte is in the conference.
[1:07:29] Is not in the ohh my. God.
[1:07:31] Madrich had a good first month. Yeah, it's not now.
[1:07:33] It's just we just. Been good.
[1:07:35] Bro what What did? That was close, yeah.
[1:07:38] What did Madrich do against Valentino?
[1:07:40] Bro? You tell me.
[1:07:41] Oh are you expecting a two goals to assist out of out of Madrich?
[1:07:44] What's Mcdominy doing bro? Play two different rules bro,
[1:07:47] come on. Bro Mcdominy Mccominy, however
[1:07:49] you prop. Yourself up as this guy, this
[1:07:51] guy that knows so much about many runs.
[1:07:53] Mccominy runs. You cannot.
[1:07:55] You cannot know the fact that Madrich plays a different
[1:07:58] position. We are.
[1:07:59] We're we're treating Madrich like a like some make a wish
[1:08:02] kid. He's not.
[1:08:03] Make a wish kid. He's playing fucking well.
[1:08:05] He's like, shit, no, I said it. What'd you say?
[1:08:07] Millie lost. Let's go.
[1:08:09] Millie lost. Positive.
[1:08:11] To the F word. Yeah, shit.
[1:08:13] Enough. And his loop, oh man.
[1:08:18] Shucks, Madrich is good, but he's not been the best player in
[1:08:22] the in the league anywhere near in my no.
[1:08:24] No, he, he's been in that. I, I do think he's in that
[1:08:27] conversation. I'm not saying he's.
[1:08:28] Here, you don't have to take the throne.
[1:08:30] Of a real I'm not, I'm not broke.
[1:08:32] But I can. Acknowledge that Madrich has
[1:08:34] played very very well. Mind you, everyone around has
[1:08:37] been playing like fucking dog shit and that that meal on
[1:08:39] defense. So now.
[1:08:40] Just because you ripped the Band-Aid you can just like you
[1:08:43] say infinitely for what? Do you mean the F word bro, no.
[1:08:47] No, no, no. It's I'm going to try to
[1:08:48] refrain. We can't say the F.
[1:08:50] Word. We can't say the F Word.
[1:08:51] There's kids that are watching. Yeah, they're not.
[1:08:52] Even saying the F word I'm we. Have a responsibility.
[1:08:54] We have a responsibility as content creators.
[1:08:57] My my mom gave me this rundown a couple times.
[1:08:59] Oh, really? Yeah, she's watching.
[1:09:00] She, I think she watched like one or two much.
[1:09:03] Anthony, you need to stop swearing, please.
[1:09:05] Like, it's really bad. Really.
[1:09:08] Yeah, but I don't give a shit. What do they, what do they want
[1:09:11] me like? I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
[1:09:13] conscious. I'm not conscious of my my, my
[1:09:17] verb. Verbiage.
[1:09:18] Your verbiage. My verbiage.
[1:09:20] There's another big word I'm saying.
[1:09:21] Verbiage. I'm saying words are just words.
[1:09:25] I can use big words. If you want to use small words,
[1:09:27] I can use bad words, I can use good.
[1:09:29] Words. But it doesn't matter, they're
[1:09:31] just. I'm getting my point across.
[1:09:33] But you see like now if we if we say if we say the F word less.
[1:09:38] The issue is if you say the F word too many times, it loses
[1:09:40] its value as the F word. No problem.
[1:09:42] I don't need it. I don't.
[1:09:43] Want to see it but I don't. Want fine, that's fine with us.
[1:09:45] Because then it's like, I'm not saying the F word like
[1:09:48] maliciously. It's just part of my my
[1:09:50] vocabulary. Like the Falkland Islands.
[1:09:52] Remember that whole thing? But you know, like if I say like
[1:09:54] if I say it's. Just a vessel from my
[1:09:56] expression. If every if every podcast I come
[1:09:59] in and I say fuck man, you and I fuck Ruben Amarim like it
[1:10:01] doesn't. You got your point across.
[1:10:02] But if I go every, if I don't see the F word ever, but I come
[1:10:06] in and I say fuck Ruben Amarim, like that really means
[1:10:10] something. Yeah, but then everyone's go.
[1:10:11] Yeah, exactly. Oh.
[1:10:13] Serious. So you have to pick and choose
[1:10:15] when to put your F words in so that it means more you know you
[1:10:18] don't want to use it on some useless ones.
[1:10:20] Am I getting like a tactical on on how to use?
[1:10:22] Yes bro, yeah I'm giving you a master class on how to use the F
[1:10:25] word. Thanks bro.
[1:10:26] You're welcome. Anyways, Mctomany runs your
[1:10:29] league, but whatever. We need anyways you you let you
[1:10:31] let go of two two world cosplayers that could actually
[1:10:33] start for you, but it's OK. Mctomany probably would start,
[1:10:37] but you wouldn't be nowhere near seeing these performances that
[1:10:40] he's dropping inside. Yeah, that's for sure.
[1:10:41] Guarantee. I don't know.
[1:10:42] I mean fucking Aronson from Leeds is putting up those.
[1:10:45] Bro stop, bro, Aronson has like, you almost got me three or four
[1:10:54] goals this year. You've got.
[1:10:55] To get. You've got to get creative when
[1:10:57] you're doing this. Bro that's crazy.
[1:10:59] Brendan Aaronson being mentioned on the pod.
[1:11:01] Shout out Brendan Aaronson playing.
[1:11:02] Not bad, but. Pretty well bro.
[1:11:04] Anton Stack and Brendan Aaronson leads have a decent.
[1:11:06] Stop saying Brendan. Brendan Aaronson is a lead Leeds
[1:11:09] level player. Anton Stack's actually like
[1:11:11] good. You can take a step bro.
[1:11:12] Dominick. Level player Now what is that?
[1:11:14] Because Dominick. Table in the Prem.
[1:11:15] What's Dominick Cover, Lewin, then A.
[1:11:16] Leeds level player, but Leeds, that's still a good player.
[1:11:19] Daniel Falco, go to Manchester United No.
[1:11:22] Why not? Because he's getting all these
[1:11:23] mid players to to. Well, this guy was the worst
[1:11:25] manager I've ever seen at Norwich.
[1:11:27] Yeah, but guy, guy, as soon as the the back against the wall.
[1:11:30] Yeah, this guy's a dog. Yeah, that's what you need.
[1:11:33] Yeah, so you they should pick him up too.
[1:11:35] I have a good manager, my manager out of his of his last
[1:11:39] 16 really my manager has been doing really well and points
[1:11:41] wise. Yeah but only good enough points
[1:11:44] wise to have like 1 league title in his thirty year career.
[1:11:47] CLV. OK, CLV bro, he's doing well for
[1:11:50] us right now. Yeah.
[1:11:50] Anyways, before, well next we're gonna talk about Arsenal signing
[1:11:56] Sakon and you. I think it's a five year
[1:11:58] contract. 2031. 2031 but I do want to say on Patreon we're
[1:12:03] gonna we're gonna film Patreon right after this and our weekly
[1:12:06] this week is extended podcast we're gonna be going through
[1:12:08] some of the rumors this January who's going where and.
[1:12:12] Give a grade. Yeah, and give some grades on on
[1:12:14] possible signings that might come to your club.
[1:12:16] We're probably gonna go through all the bigger teams.
[1:12:18] So if you want to check that out, check out our patron links
[1:12:20] down below. But now Arsenal signed Saca to a
[1:12:22] new deal and I I want to get the numbers.
[1:12:25] I don't know if any of you guys can pull it up of his last
[1:12:27] contract. His last contract was a very big
[1:12:30] deal for Arsenal. Like he he wasn't, he wasn't
[1:12:33] getting paid that much, which is why I don't mind him getting a
[1:12:37] little bit on the higher end of the pay this time on this
[1:12:40] contract. So now the Guardian says this
[1:12:43] one that he's about to sign. Yeah, £300,000 a week.
[1:12:46] OK, so big. That's and.
[1:12:47] Can you check where they'll put them in Premier League?
[1:12:50] Yeah. They'll put them probably right
[1:12:52] up under Raheem Sterling. OK, but you can't use bad
[1:12:56] examples to justify your contract because Saka while I do
[1:13:03] here, wait, let me. Just look up capology Millie,
[1:13:05] it's the best. Capology, yeah, yeah, it's
[1:13:07] saying it makes 10.1 mill a year.
[1:13:08] So I don't know what that is per week.
[1:13:10] Capology is the best for. So he made $10 million a year.
[1:13:15] SO200K. He's on 200.
[1:13:21] And 95 K £295,000 a week. This is a new contract.
[1:13:25] Is that the new 1200? That's the new 1/2 he was on.
[1:13:29] He was on 200 KA week. He was on exactly 200 KA week.
[1:13:33] That's not what I saw when I extracted. 200K US, so I don't
[1:13:35] know what that is in pounds, but 200K US, well, pounds to US is
[1:13:39] not that big of a. Conversion.
[1:13:40] Yes, it is. Yeah, I got.
[1:13:44] To teach Barbara about 4X. Holy shit like 2?
[1:13:47] 195,000 lbs. It's a. 100 and 53150 thousand.
[1:13:51] Pounds. I got to teach myself about four
[1:13:54] X 100. That's 25%.
[1:13:56] Bro, whatever you run from 100, whatever, it doesn't matter.
[1:14:01] We're not talking about the old contract, we're talking.
[1:14:03] About the old one, so compensate on properly now.
[1:14:05] So last year, in the last year, SACA has four goals.
[1:14:09] OK, SACA, SACA. So it it it's kind of like
[1:14:13] Arsenal were kind of backed into a corner.
[1:14:15] I'm not saying this is a this is going to be a bad contract.
[1:14:17] Four goals in the last. I just want to mention this
[1:14:19] before I forget. Vinicius Junior has scored his
[1:14:21] first goal today since October 4th October. 4th Thank you for
[1:14:25] that, very right. 1919 games. 20 games. 20 games. 20 games.
[1:14:29] That's why Don Perez is not giving him that fucking 30 mil a
[1:14:32] year that he. 20 games split his last two goals.
[1:14:35] OK, so so did Arsenal do a good move by signing him to this
[1:14:38] contract or not? Because to me, it awfully
[1:14:41] reminds me of Saka had Arsenal by the balls here because purely
[1:14:45] by the fact that his contract's running down and they've kind of
[1:14:48] positioned Saka as like the face of the club right now, which
[1:14:52] deservedly so. Like for where he came.
[1:14:54] He's it's not like Declan Rice. Declan Rice joined when they
[1:14:56] were kind of like building on something in something like the
[1:14:59] you kind of knew Arsenal, we're going to come back.
[1:15:01] Saka has been there from the youth Academy onwards.
[1:15:03] Like he's a great face for the club.
[1:15:04] Like he's, he seems from the outside like an amazing person,
[1:15:08] but it's, it's, it reminds me so much of the Rashford at Man
[1:15:13] United situation where he deserved the contract for what
[1:15:16] he'd done, but the recent form in the last year before he got
[1:15:20] the contract was showing signs of decline from his peak.
[1:15:24] Millie, can you look up top earners in the Premier League?
[1:15:27] I just want to see where that would put him in the league
[1:15:29] because. It's but it's not about.
[1:15:31] That but you need context because it changes bro.
[1:15:33] Like what players earn? The average of the what players
[1:15:36] earn changes every single year, but.
[1:15:38] Right now, Saka, right now, the last year he's not played like a
[1:15:40] £300,000 a week. Player Well, if you look at the
[1:15:42] £300. 300,000 lbs you're looking at Oh my goodness, you're
[1:15:46] looking. At Halen Sala Van Dyke.
[1:15:48] Oh no, the. No Halen the high 500.
[1:15:50] And something 300,000 Bernardo Silva.
[1:15:52] Bruno Fernandez. Bruno Fernandez Marmusch.
[1:15:55] But all of those are bad contracts.
[1:15:56] Practically, other than Bruno's, they're all bad contracts.
[1:16:00] Yeah, even like Raheem Sterling is, is a top five earner 12345,
[1:16:04] Yeah. But those are all bad.
[1:16:06] How much? Does T Johnny Reindeers earn?
[1:16:08] T Johnny Reindeer, 200. And 50.
[1:16:10] He owns 2. 100 it makes 230,000 lbs two. £130,000.
[1:16:14] Bro that clear rice makes 240,000 so.
[1:16:18] But I don't understand, you're trying to compare this soccer
[1:16:20] contract to bad contract? I'm trying to say what are you
[1:16:22] saying? Like what?
[1:16:23] What's the point of what you're saying?
[1:16:24] Because money clearly isn't an issue.
[1:16:26] So then what are you saying this guy has got?
[1:16:27] This guy was getting so underpaid for so long.
[1:16:30] He's finally in all the seasons that he was out putting way more
[1:16:34] than what he was getting paid. We were underpaying now.
[1:16:36] So we may be fairly paying. So now.
[1:16:38] So now you're going to set yourself up for an endless loop
[1:16:41] of contract extensions at Arsenal that are that are going
[1:16:43] listen so now. Yeah, because now our definitely
[1:16:46] he thinks he's better, so he wants an extension.
[1:16:48] But Bukowska, if he keeps playing the way he's played the
[1:16:50] last year, which I mean, there's no, it's not like he's gone up
[1:16:55] in form where he's I. Already know the counter of what
[1:16:57] you're going to. Say so in two years time when
[1:16:59] Declan Rice contract is coming up or or Gabrielle or Saliba,
[1:17:02] all these contracts of players that are playing better than
[1:17:04] they're, they're going to use that as the baseline of this is
[1:17:07] what I need minimum. How much does Kyle have return?
[1:17:09] Like 320, five, 325. Averts Owns 200 Two 180,000.
[1:17:15] Pounds, yeah. Did that affect Gabrielle's new
[1:17:17] contract? Did that affect anyone else's
[1:17:18] new contract? Well, it affect, it definitely
[1:17:20] affected Sakas because he definitely said I'm the highest
[1:17:22] earner now. It definitely affected.
[1:17:25] Again, that's that's justifiable.
[1:17:26] It's not. Justifiable it once again, it's
[1:17:29] justifiable. 2-3 years ago when Saka was at his peak and playing
[1:17:33] every single weekend, he would finish the season with with 20
[1:17:35] goals, 20 assists or 15 goals, 15 assists.
[1:17:37] It was justifiable. Right now, Saka is not playing
[1:17:41] well. He's playing already.
[1:17:42] He's not playing bad. He's not playing bad, he's not
[1:17:44] playing amazing. He's not looking at the
[1:17:46] conversion. Let him go.
[1:17:47] You would have let him go. You I.
[1:17:51] Because that's what it comes. Down to you're all you have to
[1:17:53] play hardball, you have to play hardball.
[1:17:55] It's the same thing with initiation.
[1:17:56] But you don't want to. He's obviously, he's obviously a
[1:17:59] good player. Is he worth the amount that he
[1:18:02] signed to is a different conversation to is Sacca a good
[1:18:05] player play. We all agree, Sacca.
[1:18:07] You lose, bro. You lose because then your fan
[1:18:10] base says Oh my God, you the way.
[1:18:12] Sacca's playing right now is not irreplaceable, that's what I'm
[1:18:15] saying. Yeah, but you have.
[1:18:16] I don't disagree with you, but if you let him go in a dip, your
[1:18:19] fan base kills you, the media kills you.
[1:18:21] You let soccer go during a dip, you won't even be able to get
[1:18:23] 120 mil out of the guy right now and you're letting him go for
[1:18:27] that? Horrible.
[1:18:28] Horrible man. You have to.
[1:18:29] You have to assess your market options.
[1:18:31] Horrible. What players are available?
[1:18:33] You're just, you're just doomsdaying right now is what
[1:18:35] you're doing. I'm not doomsdaying like like.
[1:18:37] There's no reason to get. Once again, I'm I'm I'm the
[1:18:40] wise, the the I've lived through this very big fart.
[1:18:44] Big fart has lived through this before.
[1:18:46] So please listen, Rashford was the exact same way.
[1:18:50] Rashford had an attitude. Rashford Other problems outside
[1:18:53] of football. It doesn't matter, I don't give
[1:18:55] a fuck about the attitude outside of fuck I.
[1:18:56] Just got married. He's Chili's like our Knicks.
[1:18:58] So. So because because he got
[1:19:00] married, we can write off the four goals as acceptable
[1:19:02] perform. No, we can.
[1:19:04] We can write out. We can write out getting
[1:19:05] plastered. Give a fuck what they do on the
[1:19:10] weekend bro as long as they score.
[1:19:12] Yeah, but at the end of the day, your.
[1:19:14] Mom says not to swear on the podcast.
[1:19:16] OK, whatever, big fart. Did he did he swear?
[1:19:18] Yeah. What do you say?
[1:19:19] Capital F. Whatever bro, you.
[1:19:22] Animal you, big fart you. Fart an animal.
[1:19:25] Let's change the F word for. Like I, I, you just can't.
[1:19:31] Like what do you expect in terms of a contract extension when
[1:19:34] you're out? How much do you think you would
[1:19:36] have paid for him? You could've put a 5 mil less so
[1:19:39] that people like Barbara said oh it's on their 300. 295.
[1:19:42] Look, the issue is, is that you, it was really you were backed.
[1:19:48] Yeah, I really think he deserved it.
[1:19:49] He's really important and he's decisive in games.
[1:19:52] I think I I like Arsenal had to give it to him.
[1:19:54] I agree, but it's it's not, it's not like resigning Holland or
[1:20:00] it's not like for me resigning Bruno where it's it's you have.
[1:20:04] Basically no risk associated to that contract.
[1:20:07] I think this could end up being a bad contract that we look back
[1:20:10] on, I think. He how?
[1:20:11] How long is it? How?
[1:20:12] Long is the 2031 five years? Only five years?
[1:20:15] How long it's? Our age other than 29 other than
[1:20:18] gonna be 29 years. Old it's not about that it's
[1:20:20] about players OK, so Michael Owen because he won the
[1:20:22] Balandora fucking 18 or 19 I I swore again because he won the
[1:20:26] balandora 18 or 19. We should have been giving him
[1:20:29] super high contracts his whole career.
[1:20:31] That's not how it works bro. But they were all failures.
[1:20:34] He failed everywhere. Yeah, but but Saka.
[1:20:36] Saka's still very important. But we don't know, maybe he
[1:20:40] peaked, huh? Maybe he peaked.
[1:20:42] See. Well, you can say that about
[1:20:43] anything, no? He can maybe, maybe Holland
[1:20:45] peaked. I don't.
[1:20:45] Know maybe no peaked. Because Holland has sustainably
[1:20:49] been at the top level, Saka has it has been a noticeable dip.
[1:20:53] It has been a noticeable. Dip such a country from last.
[1:20:56] Year noticeable maybe. Kunya maybe?
[1:20:57] Kunya peaked last year. And when we're not on 300 KA.
[1:21:00] Week, but maybe they but you still spent a lot of money on
[1:21:02] them. But they're not on 300 KA week.
[1:21:04] Maybe, maybe the asset that you just purchased for 70 million,
[1:21:07] maybe they peaked at Brentford and Wolves last season.
[1:21:09] It's a risk, sure. Football is a risk.
[1:21:11] Everything is a risk. You're just trying to find
[1:21:13] something to shit on. Yeah, I know.
[1:21:15] I I really don't see why this what does the French.
[1:21:17] K become annually. Annually it's what, 10 something
[1:21:20] it's. 15 mil a year. Or 15 mil over five years, 75675
[1:21:26] million for a five year contract versus spending 75,000,000 on
[1:21:29] Wemo that might have peaked because this is only good season
[1:21:31] I've been like. Like for me, OK, you overpay.
[1:21:33] Like you think it's an overpay. You overpay Saka by by.
[1:21:36] I did not say it's an I. I don't.
[1:21:38] Like that's the whole conversation is it's no.
[1:21:40] No, it's we're arguing. Here it's it's.
[1:21:42] Not worth it. What?
[1:21:42] What is? What's the you're another word.
[1:21:44] You're not worth it. Look.
[1:21:46] Saka Saka has proven that he could demand a contract like
[1:21:49] this, of course, so he demanded it.
[1:21:52] Now would I have done the same? I I don't know if I came to the
[1:21:58] same conclusion as Arsenal Football Club that I say like
[1:22:01] you have to give it to him. OK, but not.
[1:22:04] You have it's kind of like, like Vinnie.
[1:22:05] Vinnie deserves Vinnie has shown that he deserves to be a 30
[1:22:09] million a year. Football but he but it's It's
[1:22:12] crazy that you use Vinny as the example because Vinny is the
[1:22:15] exact opposite of what you should be using.
[1:22:18] The guy just didn't score for 19 fucking games.
[1:22:20] SAC has four goals this year. Vinicius has five goals this
[1:22:24] year, so. Point to exactly the point.
[1:22:26] But one got. Injured and Saka was injured.
[1:22:28] Vinny makes you a lot more money than fucking.
[1:22:30] Vinny doesn't deserve extension. Of Arsenal, he's been there
[1:22:32] since his whole his whole career.
[1:22:34] I don't stop myself there. He's he's been there his whole
[1:22:36] career. He deserves at least a reward
[1:22:39] for that. I really don't he.
[1:22:40] Deserves a new contract more than Vinny does if anything.
[1:22:42] No Use a different person as an example.
[1:22:44] Vinny is a horrible example. Like like Saka, at the end of
[1:22:46] the day, you still have Martinelli or Trostart and Goka
[1:22:50] is up top. Saka is the one player where you
[1:22:52] could kind of look to and say that like, that's a world.
[1:22:54] Class that that position's locked up.
[1:22:56] Yeah, like why sell in the last? Year.
[1:22:58] And look for someone else in the last.
[1:23:00] In the last calendar year, OK, but you Crosshard has played
[1:23:02] better than Saka, no, Yes, OK, calendar, wait calendar year
[1:23:07] Crosshard calendar. Wouldn't include the best part
[1:23:09] of Saka's last season, which was before he got injured last
[1:23:11] season. OK, insane.
[1:23:12] In the. Last the top three plus. 365
[1:23:15] days Shaka has not been good. It's not lower that you're
[1:23:19] acting like. I took a crazy sample size, like
[1:23:21] a last three. But you know it.
[1:23:22] You. Know the 165 days?
[1:23:24] But you know, it excludes like his best form.
[1:23:26] OK, so then Rashford we were justified giving him 325 KA week
[1:23:29] because in because the two years ago he scored a 25 goals for
[1:23:32] that. Exterior.
[1:23:33] Issue years ago like Saka's still playing well, obviously
[1:23:35] you're. Not playing well.
[1:23:36] Looking for an product you're just keeping?
[1:23:38] Not playing anywhere near his. His only currency has goals and
[1:23:41] it says he's been playing well. He's been playing very well.
[1:23:43] Playing well, he's. Not playing on a level that's
[1:23:45] worth it. Was Bernardo.
[1:23:48] Those are bad contracts you're comparing.
[1:23:50] You're literally perfectly proving my point.
[1:23:52] But. It's not sitting in the mud.
[1:23:53] Proven to be a bad player. Raheem Sterling?
[1:23:55] Yes, he fell off. Bernardo Silva at his peak was
[1:23:58] easily a 300,000 LB player, but because they gave him that
[1:24:01] contract when he was playing at his peak, now you're you have
[1:24:03] fucking. There it is.
[1:24:05] You have a terrible. You're a terrible.
[1:24:07] Example you have a a mid Bernardo Silva who doesn't even
[1:24:10] start week in week out for you. Making. 300 KA week.
[1:24:13] Contracts work. You're not going to give them a
[1:24:14] two year contract. So Bernardo Silva in your place,
[1:24:17] him it's. Add squad building some in his
[1:24:19] peak you would have had but. Bernardo still is not the face
[1:24:21] of Matt of Manchester City. He's not they also.
[1:24:24] Won't. Go under.
[1:24:24] Raqqa is the face of Arsenal. They also won't go underground
[1:24:27] because of a shit contract. Yeah, Bernardo Silva contract is
[1:24:29] fine for. Manchester bro they they have
[1:24:31] bro they have Omar Moosha on 295 K like this but they don't care
[1:24:33] as if he never existed. Exactly.
[1:24:35] I think they don't care. But well, shit on Saka's
[1:24:37] contract, but not shit on Omar Malamus.
[1:24:40] You OK? So you wanna go through all
[1:24:41] these contracts so? Do a 30 minute segment on Omar
[1:24:43] Mauritius. But that's literally we could if
[1:24:45] you want, if I don't want to, if I could do this, I you could go
[1:24:48] shit on all these contracts, to be honest, if you really want.
[1:24:51] Let's. Start with Casimiros.
[1:24:52] Terrible contract, stupid. Now let's get to Deluxe.
[1:24:55] Why is it stupid You have Casimiro?
[1:24:56] He's your best midfielder, right?
[1:24:57] Now no it's not even on this page bro why are we talking
[1:24:59] about deluxe? Do one scroll deluxe, boom I see
[1:25:03] him right there. He's.
[1:25:04] Not even there. Holy shit, bro.
[1:25:07] This guy's speaking about Deluxe every two seconds, bro.
[1:25:09] Deluxe right next to Chavi Simmons.
[1:25:11] You want to speak about Chavi Simmons bro?
[1:25:12] Wols is there. Saka well, I mean, that's.
[1:25:14] Exactly. Verts Vardiol like at the end of
[1:25:18] the day, Saka for me, OK, you want him to perform better.
[1:25:21] I agree he should have an end product that's better, more
[1:25:24] goals, more assists, that's fine.
[1:25:25] But again, he's played well. He's been on Arsenal's whole
[1:25:28] career. You are not looking as the focal
[1:25:30] point of the club like I. Don't understand right now he's
[1:25:33] not playing at his peak level. That's all I'm saying is that
[1:25:36] there's you sign them to a contract as if he's playing at
[1:25:38] his peak, but you're. Expecting, but you're expecting,
[1:25:41] like for you it's. It's just a binary trajectory
[1:25:43] where it's as soon as there's a dip, it'll never.
[1:25:45] Never come back on what I'm. Saying it'll never come but
[1:25:48] you're. Also, you're speaking that as
[1:25:49] soon as there's a dip, it'll always come back up.
[1:25:52] That's what you're saying. But Saka is a player that I
[1:25:54] could be confident in that he could bring up.
[1:25:56] But even even if that dip, even if that dip, let's say, let's
[1:25:59] say we we hit the peak and now there's a little bit of a dip,
[1:26:02] even if it just stabilizes where it's at right now, that's not
[1:26:05] worth three-week. But if he if he gets $1.10, ten
[1:26:09] goals, 10 assists in a Prem, in a Prem season not.
[1:26:11] Worth He's not playing at a level that gets ten goals, 10
[1:26:15] assists on in a prime season. We'll see.
[1:26:18] We'll see. I'm not saying he will, but I'm.
[1:26:19] I'm just saying like you can't look at Saka and say that's the
[1:26:22] problem here. Like Yoka, this is a problem
[1:26:24] here. Yeah, but how many goals?
[1:26:25] How many more? Assists Saka is a problem.
[1:26:27] But how many more assists would Saka get it There was a
[1:26:29] competent fucking I said it competent striker?
[1:26:32] How many more said? This for multipliers it's not.
[1:26:34] How many more assists? I, I told you once again, you
[1:26:37] can't come and tell me that. I because I told you Arsenal are
[1:26:39] a better team without a striker up top.
[1:26:41] But again, you, you, you look at Saka and you say, oh, he doesn't
[1:26:45] have the empire, doesn't have the goals, doesn't have a cyst.
[1:26:46] But but then we complain about everything else.
[1:26:48] So I don't really understand. You want to keep Saka because
[1:26:51] he's he's a, he's a common denominator.
[1:26:52] Got his peak goggles and assists.
[1:26:55] Because there was no one else there.
[1:26:56] I get it, but whatever you want. We're at going in and.
[1:26:59] It went shit with that. They did not want shit.
[1:27:01] OK, whatever F con I would like to say is Loki been a very good
[1:27:06] tournament. It's been very entertaining.
[1:27:08] I caught a lot of those quarterfinals games and they
[1:27:10] were very entertaining. Algeria got absolutely smoked
[1:27:12] yeah, but we can go through our the semi finals.
[1:27:14] So we have Morocco and Nigeria playing.
[1:27:17] We'll just give our quick prediction.
[1:27:19] So I Nigeria played Algeria off the park like it wasn't even
[1:27:25] close. Algeria didn't even look like I.
[1:27:27] Kind of want to take Nigeria, but Morocco was playing at home.
[1:27:32] They've been playing very, very well.
[1:27:34] Have you guys been following the the bonus scandal in Nigeria?
[1:27:37] Like supposedly they haven't been getting paid out their
[1:27:39] bonuses for winning each round. So they might, they were
[1:27:42] thinking about boycotting this Algeria game and not even
[1:27:44] showing up and going back to their clubs and stuff like that.
[1:27:47] Wow. Yeah, but Wilfred and DD, the
[1:27:49] captain, I think. I'm not sure if he's the captain
[1:27:51] in Nigeria or Phil. Leicester, huh?
[1:27:52] Is he still a Leicester? No, I think he transferred, but
[1:27:56] he came out and he said the yeah, basically.
[1:27:58] Like if they don't want to pay out the bonuses, I'll pay out
[1:28:00] the bonuses out of my own pocket.
[1:28:01] So I don't get to play in this. Have a player do that is crazy.
[1:28:04] But I don't think, I think they actually negotiated and stuff
[1:28:06] because I think, I think at one point last week the Nigerian
[1:28:08] players weren't even showing up the training I think if I'm not
[1:28:11] mistaken. I have to look into but.
[1:28:13] They, what do they say about the they fought through the, they
[1:28:16] fought through the, they fought through all the scandals and all
[1:28:20] the news and stuff like that and delivered an amazing
[1:28:22] performance. Aussie man with the goal that he
[1:28:24] scored was I don't know if you guys saw the goal crazy like a
[1:28:28] strikers like dream goal like and.
[1:28:30] Then his assist was unselfish, perfect.
[1:28:33] Cross was sent in header across body, across goal.
[1:28:36] It was it was very nice. I would say, though, that I
[1:28:41] think Morocco is going to win this.
[1:28:42] Yeah, I've, I've had Morocco on my winner as my winners at the
[1:28:44] beginning of the tournament. They are genuinely just a very
[1:28:47] good international team in the grand scheme of football.
[1:28:50] So. And Brahim Diaz.
[1:28:51] What a tournament for Brahim Diaz.
[1:28:53] Was it five goals in four games? He already has the record for
[1:28:55] the most goals at AFCON. Do I get the Oracle status for
[1:28:58] always always rating Brahim Diaz you when he's on Milan?
[1:29:01] You I I've rage baited firms too much.
[1:29:03] So that also would be a a VAR RFC Oracle.
[1:29:05] No, because you've always used it as rage bait.
[1:29:08] I always said Bro Brahim Diaz was declared.
[1:29:11] You missed the train. Master class.
[1:29:13] Bro you missed the train. Firms for some reason, just like
[1:29:17] Brahim Diaz is like his Antichrist.
[1:29:19] Yeah, it is it really. Is like I don't get why like if
[1:29:21] you have to pick one player because he really he never
[1:29:23] played, why he played. Well, I mean like, but he had
[1:29:26] much. The guy used to get subbed score
[1:29:28] every single. Game he had a lot of he had
[1:29:30] really bad performances because he would always get beat off the
[1:29:32] ball, like as a Cam he really was not good.
[1:29:35] But I don't get how you go and you rate players like Salamacres
[1:29:38] but then you hate a Brahim Diaz. Salamacres like not playing Cam
[1:29:41] So what not. But you're ready to shall feel
[1:29:43] like transfer. I didn't rate that.
[1:29:45] I'm just. Trying to rage rate firms if
[1:29:46] he's not here. Yeah, firms rated that no, but
[1:29:48] like because for firms it was OK if it makes sense and if it's
[1:29:50] breaking. Diaz is like, I would argue he's
[1:29:52] even better, but he's like the Salam acres of cams, like he's
[1:29:55] like he gets the job done like it's.
[1:29:57] Hearing no, he's like the trust rider Cams trust rider was his
[1:30:01] impact the impact sub he was like a season ago.
[1:30:03] It's it's listen, I think Brahim Diaz is a decent player.
[1:30:06] He's decent. He's a good.
[1:30:07] Player I'm just glad, well, it's it's always been that he wasn't
[1:30:09] a starter player, but for Brockway gets those starts and
[1:30:12] now he's been proving it. So I mean props to him.
[1:30:14] I'm taking Morocco in this game as much as I wanted to take
[1:30:17] Nigeria, but I think that story ends in the semi final.
[1:30:19] It's a big dog. This is a big dog.
[1:30:20] Like like Morocco has proven as a, as a more proven track record
[1:30:24] right now than Nigeria. So I yeah, I do agree.
[1:30:26] Morocco through and then the next one.
[1:30:28] Well, no. I was hearing also a
[1:30:29] conversation that you think that there's other players that are
[1:30:31] kind of like Brahim Diaz spent a lot of time debating, should I
[1:30:35] play for Spain? Should I play for Morocco, where
[1:30:36] he only recently joined Morocco and it seems like it's paying a
[1:30:40] lot of dividends for him and his career.
[1:30:43] Do you think that there's other players that maybe will do that
[1:30:46] transition quicker now after seeing players like breaking
[1:30:48] Diaz switch over to maybe not like maybe there's like a couple
[1:30:54] French players or Spanish players or something like that
[1:30:56] that are waiting to switch allegiances to an Afghan nation.
[1:30:59] I. I think, I think now that the
[1:31:01] teams are are starting to get a bit more established and a bit
[1:31:03] more like renowned, I do see that happening a bit more.
[1:31:06] Obviously when Morocco going what to the semi finals of the
[1:31:09] 2022 World Cup, you're having another deep run in AFCON.
[1:31:13] Like oh not semis. Was it semis?
[1:31:16] Wait, it was semis? They beat Spain in the quarters.
[1:31:18] I remember them going deep. They made it to semis.
[1:31:20] So Morocco lost to who? Friends.
[1:31:23] They lost in the semis to France.
[1:31:24] Yeah. So like for them, like, and plus
[1:31:27] the infrastructure that we've seen from Morocco as well, like
[1:31:30] football is getting there. Bro, they're hosting the Club
[1:31:32] World Cup. Yeah, they're hosting the next
[1:31:35] World Cup. Yeah, but they hosted AFCON,
[1:31:37] then they're hosting the Club World Cup as a warm up for the
[1:31:39] World Cup. Like in the US, these guys are
[1:31:41] hosting 3 big tournaments in the next 4 years.
[1:31:43] They're getting there. They're making new stadiums.
[1:31:44] They have a bunch of state-of-the-art stadiums.
[1:31:46] Morocco, bro, That's they're using football as their as their
[1:31:49] platform to show the world that they're.
[1:31:51] Yeah, they're, they're kind of they're.
[1:31:52] Up to date. People could correct me, but I
[1:31:54] feel like from a from a more European perspective, they're
[1:31:56] kind of like the flag bearers of African.
[1:31:58] Football, I have AI have a a very good friend that's Moroccan
[1:32:00] and he gives me, he always sends me the updates on Instagram of
[1:32:03] all the the new stadiums they're building, bro, they're building.
[1:32:06] They have some very ambitious plans for the stadiums in the
[1:32:08] World Cup. So we'll see if they get those
[1:32:10] going. But yeah, that's good on
[1:32:12] Morocco. And the other game is Egypt
[1:32:14] versus Senegal. Senegal, which is a team, I
[1:32:17] don't know about you guys, but I didn't expect him to be this
[1:32:19] established. Right.
[1:32:21] No, Senegal in African football, they've always been always been
[1:32:24] pretty like one of the. But I'm saying this, this team
[1:32:25] is coherent. Yeah, they're a good team.
[1:32:27] They have a lot of talent. Yeah, 100%.
[1:32:29] They they've been low key kind of controlling games week in,
[1:32:31] week out in this this Afghan tournament.
[1:32:34] Egypt, though I'm pretty disappointed in the performances
[1:32:36] that Egypt have dropped. Like I, I think they're more of
[1:32:39] they're playing very well. They play touch and goal.
[1:32:41] It's touch and goal football. Literally terror.
[1:32:42] Reasonable ball. That's why I it's very tough me
[1:32:45] as a predictor to go with Egypt in this game because I think
[1:32:49] there's more like if I'm on my Doctor Strange shit, there's
[1:32:53] more outcomes here. Where Senegal.
[1:32:57] Like you're doing like, yeah. I do truly impossibilities.
[1:33:00] There's more possibilities that Senegal end up winning in this
[1:33:02] game than Egypt, in my personal opinion.
[1:33:04] Well, listen, the Egypt, Egypt throughout this tournament, 21
[1:33:07] versus Zimbabwe, 1 nothing versus South Africa, but they
[1:33:09] had a red card 00 versus Angola, three one versus Benin and then
[1:33:14] 32 versus Ivory Coast. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's not
[1:33:17] hasn't been a fantastic tournament, but at the end of
[1:33:19] the day, these guys have have again, a track record of going
[1:33:23] very deep in AFCON and winning. I think they won 22 additions
[1:33:27] ago. So Salah still kicking around,
[1:33:30] but I'm just kicking around so. I'm actually going to take
[1:33:33] Senegal on this one even though it.
[1:33:35] Morocco. Senegal the underdog.
[1:33:36] I think Senegal is the underdog. I think people want to see
[1:33:38] Morocco, Egypt, I think mainly just for like the the Salah
[1:33:41] final vibe, yeah and stuff like that.
[1:33:43] But. Marmosha has Loki been Egypt's
[1:33:45] best player this tournament. He's been taking him out of Pep
[1:33:49] Shackles. It's Loki been he.
[1:33:51] He's the one that got carrying Egypt, not Salah.
[1:33:53] Yeah, it's it's refreshing to see Madras.
[1:33:55] Scored the opener on the last game, yeah.
[1:33:58] It's refreshing to see Madras actually playing football now.
[1:34:00] Yeah, he's rather than. He's still in your field team,
[1:34:02] no? They're not gone.
[1:34:03] It's it's I held him. I I held him.
[1:34:05] It's sad because he's on such a big contract that £300,000 a
[1:34:09] week, like he's just, that's like he signed a 360 deal, like
[1:34:13] he's never going to be able to leave because he's only going to
[1:34:16] be able to leave. It's like kind of like Santo at
[1:34:18] Man United, like he probably should have left after his first
[1:34:20] or second season, but he couldn't because his wages were
[1:34:22] so high. So you're literally just going
[1:34:24] to see a a career just probably dwindle.
[1:34:26] Like see out your contract, Yeah, a Man City or.
[1:34:28] A Man City also. Yeah, it's it's it's tough.
[1:34:31] Yeah. Four games, two goals for Marmos
[1:34:33] so. There's Aston Villa links.
[1:34:34] I, I think I'm, I was reading Aston Villa links that they may
[1:34:37] be interested and think about. Yeah, because their owners are
[1:34:39] also Egyptians. Yeah, but what the fuck were
[1:34:41] they gonna play them? They good player.
[1:34:43] Morgan Rogers, basically. Morgan Rogers basically plays
[1:34:45] like that. Yeah, but like a a Bondia, like
[1:34:48] he's a major upgrade on a Bandea.
[1:34:50] Wendy is playing well, but yeah. But Marmosa is 10 times better.
[1:34:53] But I'm. Listening guy I love and I.
[1:34:55] Yeah, anyways, and I we will be seeing it's.
[1:34:59] I'll go Egypt on this one just. Is the is the AFCON final after
[1:35:05] record Next week let. Me see like when's?
[1:35:07] The AFCON final, because if we can do predictions for that next
[1:35:11] week, then we'll do that next week.
[1:35:14] Dot com final is Sunday Jan 18th all PM like so.
[1:35:18] No, So you're predict My predictions are Morocco winning?
[1:35:21] My prediction. I think we all said Morocco were
[1:35:23] the favorites. Morocco 21 against Senegal,
[1:35:26] they're going to win Hakimi, man of the match, even though
[1:35:28] that's. I'm saying Senegal wins 32 on
[1:35:31] pens. I won't tell you to go scores,
[1:35:34] but 32. Well, I'll go.
[1:35:37] And die man a match. Morocco versus Egypt, I'll go 31
[1:35:40] Morocco, OK. OK, we're gonna go and do the
[1:35:46] Patreon now. Yep.
