[0:00] Welcome back to the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 28 and today we are back with the Power
[0:04] Rankings. Where do you rank the best teams
[0:06] in the world? We'll also be getting into the
[0:08] big games this weekend. El Classico, Deadbeat Italia.
[0:11] There's a lot to discuss. And don't forget Millie.
[0:13] Arsenal, Liverpool potential title decider.
[0:15] You'll definitely want to stay for this one.
[0:17] All that and more on the Boxer Box Podcast.
[0:20] Let's go. You ain't going home.
[0:21] Your Honor, I'm sorry. Your Honor, I'm sorry.
[0:27] We don't compete with City. This is a failure of a season.
[0:30] You've heard your. 1st I can already tell you.
[0:32] I'll tell you in advance you failed.
[0:33] I'm going to take a central midfielder, Federico Valverde.
[0:38] What? Yeah.
[0:40] No, that he is crazy. Worst midfielder for Real Madrid
[0:43] this season? That's like, that's like saying
[0:46] Neymar was the worst player in MSN Boys episode 28.
[0:54] I know I said this last week, but this was a big week in
[0:56] sports. Is this going to be like last
[0:58] week where we say, oh you know what, we don't have much to talk
[1:01] about and then we end up going on a 20 minute rant about the
[1:04] Italian national team? No.
[1:05] That was two weeks ago. That was two weeks ago.
[1:06] That was two weeks ago. Feels like just yesterday.
[1:08] I think. I think we were calmer last week
[1:09] if I'm not mistaken. No, we, no we were not.
[1:11] We were never, never. PC we've been starting though
[1:14] for Roma, low balling out, I don't know, lost 51 today and it
[1:16] starts, so I don't know if I would say balling out but.
[1:19] Mozi Keene looking. Keene looking like the.
[1:22] Italian national team. But you would think that we're
[1:24] like somebody's we're trying to like slide in names to football
[1:26] players. How do we and how are we talking
[1:28] about Moisey Keenan the. First page for this.
[1:30] Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Bro Picili might be joining
[1:32] Aslani FC shortly on no. He's already on the freak.
[1:34] He's transferred out. He got the transfer out.
[1:36] He's. On the Subs, that's for.
[1:37] Sure on the something I don't know.
[1:39] It might be harder to get appearances for Aslani FC than
[1:42] the Adzuri nowadays. What do you guys think about in
[1:44] a We add a player to the Aslani FC lineup every.
[1:46] Week Slani FC Player of the Week.
[1:48] I think this week I'm going for Matt Hummels.
[1:50] Oh, Matt Hummels. Did get a red card. 4 minutes
[1:53] into his Roma debut own goal. That's crazy.
[1:55] The. Same week as a Balandor
[1:56] nomination. I have a couple of Real Madrid
[1:58] players in mind for this week. I'm gonna count this.
[2:00] Yeah, this was a very, very jam packed week.
[2:04] Not just in football and sports, in.
[2:05] General potential as I want to see goalkeeper this no bro look
[2:12] what obviously mattress and I are not making appearance on
[2:15] this power ranking so we can get into it.
[2:16] That was not a penalty and and multiple referees have come out
[2:20] to say that it was a horrendous shout because I and you might be
[2:22] wondering why I have my hat on. First of all, let's just speak
[2:24] about that for one second bad hair day in the studio.
[2:26] It's OK. Well, well, thank you very we
[2:29] won't acknowledge it that much. You what a terrible you just.
[2:32] Made it a thing. You just made it a thing.
[2:34] You're. Probably wondering I've never
[2:35] won. This might be the first day of
[2:37] my life I've worn a hat. We know get we need to get you a
[2:40] Manchester United hat the the great one.
[2:42] White patch got patched up though.
[2:44] Oh yeah you see people say I have no aura bro I do one TikTok
[2:49] with the white patch showing and then the top comment is Bros
[2:53] beard is worse than his football opinions.
[2:55] Bro that's rough. You can't say you have aura like
[2:57] you can't just say I. I'm saying it.
[2:59] You know the people don't say they have aura.
[3:01] Yeah, I have aura. Calafiti doesn't walk around
[3:03] Ronaldo. You think Ronaldo?
[3:04] Doesn't say I have aura, no. No he doesn't bro.
[3:06] Ronaldo. What he does, he knows, but.
[3:09] Ronaldo thinks he has aura bro. Barbara, you're the type of guy
[3:11] to push a pull, bro. Push a pull door.
[3:13] Yeah, I've seen that happen. Yucky.
[3:16] That's a very, very. Oh shit, it's locked.
[3:20] No, it must be locked. It must be locked.
[3:22] Oh my God. But that wasn't a penalty call.
[3:24] I don't even know what the pen was for it to be honest.
[3:26] What about the Dumfries one in the Derby?
[3:29] Derby, Ditalia. Yeah, that was OK.
[3:32] Listen, bro, I didn't know you could get a pen in an offside
[3:34] position and then get a handball and still get a pen.
[3:36] But listen, this is the Maratha league.
[3:38] You just gotta you just gotta score more goals.
[3:39] And I. Mean that's what happens when
[3:40] you kick someone in the legs. But it's it's all right, it
[3:42] happens. So next time we'll give you 3,
[3:44] we'll give you 3 pens. Maybe that's enough for you guys
[3:46] to win. Listen that, that, that was a
[3:48] rough game. Rough game, but for neutral very
[3:51] fantastic. I loved it.
[3:52] I. Loved had to bring the short.
[3:53] Goals are the goals. Are any of those two teams going
[3:55] to make it in the power rankings?
[3:56] Yep, I don't think so bro. Both inter obviously dropped out
[4:00] after. I don't understand the
[4:01] appearance. We did not lose a single game
[4:02] since last power ranking, but I need.
[4:04] To see that goal, because if it was actually offside then that
[4:07] should have been called back, but if it wasn't?
[4:08] They didn't even check it though.
[4:09] That's the. Goal if it was offside.
[4:11] The foul before the offside is given.
[4:12] It's a there was 3 foul plays in there, a handball, but.
[4:16] He's in a player position. But if he doesn't touch the
[4:19] ball, he's not offside. Yes, he.
[4:21] Is. Broke.
[4:21] He didn't the playing sing Kalulu decision to clear the
[4:25] ball. The ball was going to lose way
[4:27] anyways, brother. Yeah, he's going to put his foot
[4:29] there anyway, bro. Think about this thing about
[4:31] this. If he's not interfering with it,
[4:33] then he wouldn't have interfered with Kalu's foot that was
[4:36] kicking the ball. So clearly he interfered.
[4:38] The next time, Dumfries will make sure to stay on the
[4:40] opposite side of the pitch. That's when.
[4:43] You're offside, you don't interfere with play.
[4:45] No, but I think there was someone keeping him on side.
[4:47] Yeah, there had to. Have passed.
[4:48] There's no way they don't even review.
[4:49] It I don't know why I haven't seen any clips of the of the
[4:51] it's going to come out though of.
[4:52] The side angle? Have UV fans been complaining
[4:54] about the offside or I didn't? See, I think we're just happy
[4:56] to. We're just happy to get a
[4:57] result. Down 42, down 42.
[4:59] Allegedly would never. Be right.
[5:02] 'Cause they're just enjoying the red, yeah.
[5:03] I like it with a shut down shop and you know the man in the
[5:06] back. Exactly, he would have tried to
[5:07] keep it at 4 it. Was an entertaining game.
[5:08] This is what Syria needed in my. Opinion bro, Chico Consesau is
[5:11] our absolute baller. Bro that Chihuahua is so
[5:14] deceptive I cannot believe. Calling another man Chihuahua.
[5:17] You got your one yearly entertaining Syria game, now
[5:21] it's shutter down for the year. You're 1 nothing enter versus me
[5:24] but. The last podcast we were talking
[5:25] about Syria being entertaining or not.
[5:27] What do you think about this? Entertained.
[5:30] The issue, yeah #1 she was, if you did this when everyone was
[5:35] watching, it would have been amazing.
[5:36] But everyone was watching Arsenal, Liverpool while this
[5:39] was happening. Two TV's bro.
[5:40] I mean, yeah, that. The dual screen right that.
[5:42] 'D be Ditali was on the big TV this this week.
[5:45] We'll get to the Arsenal, Liverpool later.
[5:46] Yeah, we'll get, we'll also get to the classical later.
[5:48] So like stay tuned for that. It's something that we're not
[5:50] mentioning it. It's just when we get into the
[5:52] power rankings. Whenever puts Barcelona.
[5:54] My formal apology to Barcelona. During the power ranking, yeah.
[5:57] Yeah, when we mentioned Barcelona, a real.
[5:59] Be waiting for wearing a Real Madrid shirt is crazy.
[6:02] Yeah, well. Some madridista by.
[6:03] Theology, by the way. Let's we'll get into a voice
[6:06] start with you guys. Who do you have in your ten spot
[6:09] in this power? Ring and.
[6:10] We should. Say some.
[6:13] Couple of newcomers maybe? Honorable Mentions.
[6:15] Yeah, no, don't, because they should be you.
[6:16] Should when you mention A-Team, you should say where you had
[6:18] them last week? If it's like a crazy destiny, I
[6:20] like that. Last week.
[6:21] Last month. I have it.
[6:22] I have my my previous list written.
[6:24] Down you guys ain't ready for OK.
[6:26] So my 10 is Bayern Munich low, very low and I think I had them
[6:32] five last time if I so you drop Bayern?
[6:34] Munich by 5 spots. Brother, the role is fake.
[6:38] We that we pulled out the diamond tester against
[6:40] Barcelona. They got destroyed by Barcelona
[6:42] that only. Fake.
[6:44] I mean, I think it's more of a testament to Barcelona brother.
[6:46] They end up beating Madrid too, so I listen.
[6:49] I think Barsa might be legit Byron.
[6:50] Byron lost against us and Villa against Barcelona badly.
[6:54] Like completely outperformed. We pulled out the diamond tester
[6:57] that shit. He's got a point, but 5 spots is
[7:00] a little bit egregious. It's crazy.
[7:01] Beating Balkan 5 Nothing don't mean air to me.
[7:03] Nothing. You're acting like they don't
[7:05] have one of the top five top threes in the world.
[7:08] OK. And then look at the back four
[7:09] and they have a bottom 5 back 4. In the world, and Kim and Lupa
[7:13] Mcconnor might not be the main key.
[7:15] I don't know. I think a company does has
[7:18] deserved a bit more time. You know, I actually I actually
[7:23] read something about Vincent Company and how we got this
[7:25] Byron job and how it's going to influence other managers going
[7:27] forward. Bayern appointing company might
[7:30] have been one of the worst things to happen to up and
[7:32] coming managers because now I and it makes sense.
[7:37] Up and coming managers saw Vincent Company after he
[7:40] relegated Burnley but stuck to his football, which you can have
[7:44] your opinions. I think that a manager should
[7:46] adopt when he's using, let's say he goes up, he shouldn't try
[7:48] playing possession football with Burnley because that's going to
[7:50] lead to a relegation like it did.
[7:52] You should try and adopt, play defensive when you need to play
[7:54] defensive and play attacking when you need to play attacking.
[7:57] Like Southampton, they just played Man City, they tried to
[7:59] play attacking versus Man City. What kind of strategy is this?
[8:04] They can they lost one nothing but the she was 3 point I think
[8:06] though. Because I have Holland FPL and I
[8:08] saw him. I saw him missed like 4.
[8:10] Goals, yeah, but so. Then I can see that one goal by.
[8:13] Seeing young managers, seeing company going to Byron after he
[8:17] got relegated with Burnley, it's going to lead to more young
[8:19] managers saying you know what, I'm just going to play my brand
[8:22] of football and if I get sacked or if I if I get relegated, it
[8:25] doesn't matter because big clubs are still going to want me.
[8:27] I think it's good that you stick to your.
[8:28] Getting side of football necessarily help.
[8:30] Your CV doesn't get you better jobs.
[8:32] But doesn't mean that you're bad.
[8:33] You're right, you did downgrade from Burnley to Bayern Munich
[8:36] so. No, that's because it's Vincent
[8:37] Company. Well, you remember last summer,
[8:39] bro? Every week it was father pulling
[8:41] up the recording and being like guess guess who the next guess
[8:44] who the next manager that got rejected with the Byron was.
[8:47] It was a weekly occurrence of managers rejecting Byron and
[8:52] that's kind of why they fell on company or else they would have
[8:54] been stuck with who what like. Not a lot.
[8:56] Of so you guys are not rating company for what he's been
[8:57] doing? Good in Bundesliga but like
[9:00] nothing spectacular. And I think they're like 23rd in
[9:02] the Champions League with 1-2 losses in 23rd.
[9:05] Yeah, yeah. They factor that they didn't.
[9:06] They didn't lost against Austin. And they're lower than Dina
[9:09] Mosagra, which they beat. Nothing.
[9:10] Yeah, you're right one. One win, 2 losses.
[9:12] Yeah, and who was the win against?
[9:15] Dino mozagra. Bro, they're next.
[9:17] To they accumulated all their gold differential in one game.
[9:19] Bro they're next to Girona and Milan so two wins.
[9:23] Two easy wins. I mean, it could be two easy
[9:25] wins. I think Bayern unfortunately
[9:27] sputtered this in the last month or so, but.
[9:31] I'm not going to, I'm not going to press the panic button for
[9:33] Bayern. Yeah, I don't think so.
[9:34] I I do think it's in the room because Bayern's bread and
[9:36] butter is Champions League. I think that's where we were
[9:38] banking them to do well. You got as #10. #10 this might
[9:41] come as a surprise, but I got Napoli.
[9:44] Napoli newcomer. Too low?
[9:46] No, I think way very generous. Way too low.
[9:48] I think that's generous. And I'll give you, I'll give you
[9:50] my reason. They have a week to prepare for
[9:52] every game bro, I don't wanna hear shit about that.
[9:54] Consideration. You know what my reasoning, My
[9:56] reasoning for number 10. Barbara thinks I should put them
[9:58] higher but I think 10 is a little generous.
[10:00] It's because they have not faced a top six team, except Juventus,
[10:03] which they drew. And then they dominated the OK.
[10:07] Well, there was still there was a way.
[10:08] From home you guys created. They were away from home, you
[10:11] guys created nothing. Sat back and played like Udinez
[10:14] way against UVA. No shit they're going to do
[10:17] that. Play them.
[10:17] We gave them the Udinez treatment, bro.
[10:19] I cannot put you in a top 10 ranking.
[10:21] You created nothing against them bro.
[10:23] Not. This is my reason.
[10:24] This is my reason I put them 10 now because I do think they
[10:26] deserve some level of acknowledgement because the the
[10:30] next how rankings we do, brother, they're going to be
[10:32] facing yanked Milan, yanked Inter.
[10:34] They could Lazio, they could get over a quick ride.
[10:37] Atlanta. They're going to be facing 5 out
[10:39] of the six or seven top teams in Seria in a row.
[10:41] But they're never going to be able to play Champions League
[10:43] like they're they're, yeah. I agree, but at the end of the
[10:45] day they're still first in Seria and you have to have some sort
[10:48] of leader. OK undefeat.
[10:50] No, they lost versus Helles Verona 3 nothing.
[10:51] First match day. They're only lost the season,
[10:54] though one loss. But I do think Conte's somehow
[10:57] doing something with this squad. But they're also last three
[11:00] games, they've one nothing or something like yeah, they're
[11:02] they're not that great. I have so.
[11:03] When this comes down to young boys in the Champions League for
[11:05] interval. I I put them talk about that.
[11:08] I put them 10. Like the fact that I even put
[11:10] them on this list shows that I'm jealous.
[11:13] It's also biased towards Seria because.
[11:15] I don't think it's. Other other leagues are having
[11:17] guys that have our crazy starts to the season.
[11:19] Yeah, but you're you're top. You're the 1st place team in the
[11:21] top five league. Arguably top.
[11:23] Leipzig over Napoli. Not necessarily, no.
[11:26] No, because in the in the Champions League Leipzig hasn't
[11:29] been that great if I'm not mistaken.
[11:31] They lost one. What didn't you?
[11:32] Say it's a it's a little bit premature putting them in a top
[11:35] 10 ranking when they haven't faced all these good teams,
[11:37] yeah. But wait and then after these
[11:38] top ten, that's why I'm waiting after these games.
[11:40] No, I think breaking. News They're not in my top 10
[11:42] so. I think they deserve.
[11:43] Something in your top ten Who? Not happily.
[11:46] Why would they? Ever one most definitely will
[11:48] never touch my. Brother, I put them 10.
[11:49] Did you see how they reacted? Like you know what I mean?
[11:51] Like definitely not UVA. Last power ranking did enough to
[11:55] make the top ten, but now? They're still in my top 10.
[11:57] They're not in my, they're still in my top.
[11:58] UVA is also playing in Champions League, which is different,
[12:01] yeah. Lost 10 anyway so.
[12:03] They did lose a team. We'll.
[12:03] Talk about, we'll talk to, we'll talk about UVA.
[12:06] Oh real's allowed to lose the Lil but UVA can't lose.
[12:09] I don't know about allowed. We'll talk about that too.
[12:11] Don't. Worry they're still your top 2
[12:12] so or whatever. Three my 10 May surprise some
[12:16] people, but I'm I'm seeing Chelsea at 10.
[12:18] I got Chelsea as well. Oh yeah.
[12:20] They're, I think they deserve to be there.
[12:21] They're on the cusp of my opinion.
[12:22] They're playing entertaining footy, they have Paul Palmer
[12:25] who's one of the best players to know.
[12:27] Out of your. Ten team, so can we, can we all?
[12:30] Can we all communally agree Chelsea is the 5th best Premier
[12:33] League team? Agreed 5th Aston Villa, Arsenal,
[12:37] Liverpool, Man City. There should be 5 Premier League
[12:40] teams on your list. They're better than, they're
[12:41] better than a a Newcastle, they're better than.
[12:44] Should be 5 if they're putting Chelsea 10, Yeah, then the power
[12:46] ranking needs to include five. I.
[12:48] Agree with that though, yeah. It needs.
[12:51] To. Sure, it makes sense.
[12:53] You gotta wait and see bro, but it might.
[12:54] If Aston Villa don't make an appearance on that top 10.
[12:57] Bro not believe made an appearance I'm gonna someone I
[13:00] gotta. Deserve a shout.
[13:01] We gotta go find the Napoli PNG to put in this power ranking bro
[13:04] enjoy. We already did for the.
[13:06] Chelsea, I put it last, last time I put them #10.
[13:08] Barbara was ahead. Oh sorry to go, the PNG was
[13:10] ahead of the game Millie, Chelsea, Napoli played two legs
[13:13] like a A2 legged tie. Who?
[13:14] Who wins? Yeah, but that's not how power
[13:15] ranking. Antonio Conte versus Antonio
[13:17] Marezka. Yeah, but yeah.
[13:18] But based off what? But based off what Napoli has
[13:21] faced, that brother, they're winning and they're first in
[13:24] serial like. Cole Will and and Fofana bro.
[13:28] First of all, Lukaku hasn't scored in like 3 games.
[13:29] We eat in bro. We starving.
[13:32] Bro we starving, bro. I, I, I do think Chelsea's on
[13:35] the cusp. I, they deserve a shot.
[13:37] I don't think there's anything wrong with putting them 10.
[13:39] Chelsea's Chelsea have a better player at every single they
[13:41] were. Probably my 11/12/13 range.
[13:43] They were there, but they were, they were a thought because I
[13:46] actually do like what Enzo Maresco is doing, even though I
[13:49] do think that a lot of it is is porch ball, to be honest.
[13:52] I still disagree. Bro they're the best counter
[13:54] attack. Said that about Zaggy with Conte
[13:56] and Inter, but the. Foundations might have been
[13:58] there, but it's it's imagine it's not.
[14:00] Like it's not like Enzo, Enzo Maresco took a counter attacking
[14:02] side and made them this possession side demon.
[14:05] They're still relying on counter attacking football.
[14:07] But they have the players for it and if and if Maresco can play
[14:10] porch ball but also manage the locker room better than porch.
[14:13] I agree. I'm not saying he's doing a bad
[14:14] job. I'm not saying he's doing
[14:15] nothing. Yeah.
[14:16] Do you think he's overachieving? No, not necessarily.
[14:19] I rather. Take a billion dollars, bro.
[14:21] He's starting. He has basically almost the best
[14:23] player in the prep on his team. Let's not for.
[14:25] Co Palmer. Yeah, Like he's making him.
[14:27] He's making him to be that. Well, Co Palmer, he.
[14:29] Was that before him? So he's.
[14:32] He's the second second season and not sure.
[14:34] This is how you use him, he said.
[14:36] OK, let me use that bank. That's cop because he's starting
[14:38] as a comp now. He watches the right wing.
[14:40] He right wing doesn't matter, the ball gets funneled to him
[14:44] every single time so. Any and he rotates he cycles so
[14:48] like he's. So good you like.
[14:49] Chelsea at 10. I do have Chelsea at 10.
[14:52] We'll see. We'll see next.
[14:53] Everything's clicking bro. No I I think they have a good
[14:55] shot of being on a top ten. I don't think they'll move up
[14:58] much during the season. I think top ten, maybe 8 is
[15:01] their Max. It depends they they're if they
[15:04] have a stronghold in a Champions League spot like they they
[15:06] really have. That for their 4th right now and
[15:08] Nicholas. Jackson been.
[15:10] Oh, I didn't see the up. Here I want to mention Nicholas
[15:12] Jackson because in our discord chat, which by the way, if you
[15:15] join the Patreon, you're allowed to join the discord as you
[15:18] should a lot a lot of people were clowning.
[15:20] They said Kai Haverts is better than they don't read them, which
[15:23] is crazy to me. Not right now.
[15:24] It's the most fun I can say I'd rather Nicholas Jackson.
[15:26] Yes, yes, Nicholas Jackson clear Personally, in my opinion, Kai
[15:29] Haverts might be a better squad player because.
[15:31] That's what was. Nicholas Jackson, I don't like
[15:33] my left wing. Masco tries playing my left wing
[15:35] a bit. I don't like that experiment.
[15:36] But at striker he's a demon. But Haver striker centre mid,
[15:40] like he's a bit more of a squad player but shit everywhere.
[15:45] But Nicholas Jackson really really been moving.
[15:47] I don't know if you guys saw the offside goal by Cole Palmer, but
[15:50] his link up play is actually turning out to be like some
[15:53] world class. And that Cole Palmer connection
[15:55] with him, it's working wonderfully because I don't know
[15:57] if you saw that the other pass, the one that just went through
[16:00] everybody. Oh my God and thank God that
[16:02] Antrim Rescue is finally learning.
[16:03] Drop drop Jaden Sancho and play Pedro Neto because his brother
[16:07] Pedro Neto different two different stratospheres of
[16:09] players. He's fast.
[16:10] Yeah, I see that run. Fast.
[16:12] It's cool. I I remember what, a couple
[16:13] weeks ago you were ripping Pedro Netto.
[16:15] But imagine all these options bro.
[16:17] Like let's be real, we we don't talk about it enough.
[16:20] How many players the squad house?
[16:21] How many options my best got? The Conference League team that
[16:23] they pulled up to Uzbekistan with bro and it's a different
[16:26] team and Cuckoo was in almost team of the year conversations a
[16:29] couple of years ago and now he's playing Uzbeki standing in the
[16:31] Conference League. I don't.
[16:32] Know and those are his minutes those are his like seasonal
[16:33] minutes whereas like I'm surprised he's.
[16:35] OK with that, because honestly, he's not getting minutes in the.
[16:37] I I wouldn't be surprised if he's not.
[16:40] It's, it's OK with the beginning of season.
[16:43] I'm sure if you go the whole calendar, you're like this.
[16:45] It's he's in class next. Summer.
[16:47] It's going to be what are our options?
[16:49] He's going to be asking our agent, maybe agent.
[16:50] Maybe a loan move out a little. Loan to like a league that's not
[16:52] the Prem. No, I think he.
[16:54] Stays in the Monaco alone, yeah, but yeah.
[16:57] Well, Monaco. See Monaco.
[16:58] Monaco were on my like, that's my team.
[17:00] I want the cusp. Provision.
[17:01] They have a better shout in my opinion than a team like Napoli.
[17:04] No no, no. Same shout bro.
[17:06] They're like top five in China. I just watched Marseille versus
[17:08] PSG, one of the most ash showings I've ever seen in any
[17:12] league. I mean all all lies on that
[17:15] league. I'm going to say it again.
[17:17] Diamond tester came out, shit was fake.
[17:20] I mean, listen, if we're going to go into, I got number.
[17:22] Nine say hype. #9 I got PSG. OK, it's not bad.
[17:25] I I do think they took a tumble. I have put them 8th last week so
[17:28] I'm the last power ranking. I'm around that.
[17:30] Because it almost on the same wave as Byron in my opinion,
[17:33] where it's like Champions League, they're just really
[17:37] fraud. Not frauds, but like, it's
[17:38] really, really bad. They they scanned a win against
[17:42] Girona with an own goal. I kicked them.
[17:43] Off my list bro. That Arsenal showing.
[17:45] Yeah, not off my list, I agree, but.
[17:47] That just Champions League in general for them has been.
[17:49] I'm pretty sure they lost their their they have one win, one
[17:52] draw, one loss if I'm not mistaken.
[17:53] Oh, I can't. But they lost Arsenal one
[17:55] against Girona and I think they dropped.
[17:57] Points against the 13. One, one and one and they played
[18:01] who played PSV and it won the Arsenal and BG that.
[18:05] Was actually the most recent game.
[18:07] I remember they beat Girona with a 90th minute own.
[18:10] Goal and I would say Monaco's been more impressive than them
[18:12] in the Champions League. But PSG and Liguer, obviously.
[18:15] PSG 1st and Liguer. Not at their time.
[18:18] Like, no, not at the time. After today they won 30 because
[18:21] they're up. By three, they're up by three,
[18:22] yeah. They're up by 23 points or
[18:23] something like that. But Monaco?
[18:25] Monaco's been balling out. Monaco honestly considered
[18:27] putting them in the top ten but. They were around that Chelsea.
[18:31] Around. They're around.
[18:31] That most likely that's an in this week out next time like
[18:34] that's that's what we're looking at, which I don't.
[18:36] Know are you guys the 9th I. Think I have Juventus.
[18:39] I got Juventus 2 and 9th. I think that's a little.
[18:41] Juventus a little high. Sorry, a little high little.
[18:44] High. I dropped them.
[18:45] I had them like 7. They're like you're my 11 to 15
[18:48] right now. Here bro.
[18:49] The thing is that the issue is that I don't think they'd be on
[18:53] your list if interbeat them. No I don't.
[18:55] They would not. They would have dropped.
[18:56] But that's one. Million one more like that.
[18:58] That shows. That shows.
[18:59] That that that showed character, Yeah, not gonna lie that show
[19:01] character, but I do think there's a lot more into
[19:03] deficiencies than UVA positives that we'll get into that later.
[19:06] But. Dominated by Stewart.
[19:09] Okay, they didn't. They lost, dominated by 1 Enzo.
[19:12] Master class, yes. Obviously as we on.
[19:16] That wave. We've been on the Enzo me low
[19:18] wave bro. I told you guys, big clubs are
[19:19] scouting this guy, bro. It's just like the.
[19:21] Gonna get a big move when they. Made-up his own height.
[19:23] When the Cooper made it up, made it in Milan bro.
[19:25] Wait, I'm with the Clippers. I'm with the Don't forget that
[19:28] reference shout out SO. I'm with the Kuipers, I'm with
[19:31] the Vipers, I'm with. The Vipers with the Vipers, the
[19:33] reference the. Viper, I said Real Madrid
[19:35] scouting this guy. Now he's playing in Seattle
[19:37] against Milan, bro, I'm sure. I'm sure Real Madrid has.
[19:39] Got destroyed by the way. Actually, after that carpet
[19:42] injury, bro, you might see the Kuiper in that, in that Madrid
[19:45] kit. I still talk about it.
[19:46] That's an insta cop if that happens.
[19:48] I used. The cop you've insta cop, insta
[19:50] cop. So it's a drop bro, put in the
[19:52] carpet. That's where drop.
[19:54] But firms I respect that you put them 9th.
[19:56] I wasn't, I wasn't even tempted to put them higher and lower.
[19:59] I mean Chelsea, Chelsea, I would put it in the higher than
[20:02] Juventus, but I need to see a little bit more like a.
[20:04] Few I really like Taco Mota, but I I find what he's doing with
[20:07] that team, he's overachieving because that team is not for.
[20:10] Me after. Player for player.
[20:11] After this Bremer injury, for me to have them on this list is
[20:15] like. You got to drop them.
[20:16] Especially after that Stucard shell performance.
[20:19] In my opinion Inter outplayed them.
[20:20] Personally I think so yes. And for me my number 9 is inter
[20:24] so I can't justify. Really low.
[20:26] I can't justify by putting UV above like above them.
[20:32] Is it lose the? Season.
[20:34] First of all, yes. Yes, probably.
[20:37] Against Milan. Yeah, Milan.
[20:38] That's your only loss though. After that, Milan, which that
[20:41] was the last time we did our power ranking, Yeah, enter five
[20:43] wins in a row and then one draw. They beat young boys.
[20:46] They they, they scored a 93rd minute.
[20:49] Winner, winner, winner. If you.
[20:51] Don't be the first to shit on enter they.
[20:53] Run like I said I'll sign him off camera bro young boys and
[20:56] the old lady they almost drop points to young boys.
[20:58] They can't they can't beat the old lady that's age.
[21:00] It don't matter the age bro enter still go shit the.
[21:03] But the the four different wins, wins before that don't matter.
[21:07] Fine, how is you'll? Be general like 1.
[21:09] Nothing, no or someone. That could be.
[21:11] Some shitty Italian. Only one that would drop a team
[21:13] that went undefeated since the last power rankings.
[21:15] But do you understand what you? Just did rolly fake bro.
[21:17] He set a precedent. Rolly fake what, brother?
[21:20] Get tested bro I. Don't know what he's talking
[21:22] about. Really fake bro.
[21:23] One, nothing to Roma, who just lost five.
[21:26] One to 14, that's two different. Two different things bro.
[21:29] You you could admit that Inter has not been playing as good as
[21:32] they were last I think. I think defensively we have been
[21:34] extremely poor. There's a lot of.
[21:35] Questions Possession against Roma tied on XG.
[21:38] Yeah, Chalanoma injured, by the way.
[21:40] Chalanogo injured in both games, by the way.
[21:42] Our most important player, by the way.
[21:44] A team pulled up to playing inter with Cristante and came
[21:49] out with almost a draw cook. All right, middle of your
[21:53] defense. 32 against Torino. These games are only winning by
[21:56] one goal bro. They're only fake bro you've.
[21:58] Been hyping up Napoli that's been feeding off of 1 nothings
[22:01] once a week. Brother.
[22:03] He's right, he's right and you've been saying Napoli
[22:06] doesn't have to be here. Bro.
[22:07] I told you guys Napoli the title contender with one.
[22:09] Nothing wins. Let's go check Liverpool.
[22:11] Ridiculous honestly. Like I don't know, I don't
[22:13] understand the reason to drop. OK, wait, so my number 8 is
[22:18] Napoli. I put them up.
[22:19] Insert. OK, wait.
[22:22] That's crazy. Why do you think that?
[22:24] That's crazy. Brother, it's the same wave 1
[22:27] nothing, 1 nothing. One right now, at the league end
[22:29] of today, we're winning the title.
[22:31] Yeah. Napoli, how many games are we
[22:33] playing? How many games?
[22:35] Yeah, the ADSC that's coming out of your mouth.
[22:37] They could lose a game next week and they'll still be leading.
[22:41] We're not even a third of the way in the league by by the way.
[22:43] Yeah, by the way, the heads up. Is for right now.
[22:46] And Napoli is not, if it's not believers, Inter, I still think
[22:49] I told. I said this years ago, if Scott
[22:52] Mctominy played in Syria, he'd be one of your best midfielders.
[22:55] He joined Syria and he's not one of the best.
[22:57] Let's not over hype him bro. There's better midfielders out
[22:59] there bro. There's better midfielders you.
[23:01] Look at Napoli's team, there's not many holes.
[23:03] That's the thing, I agree with that.
[23:05] Not many holes. Bro defensively they've been
[23:07] insane. They they have probably the most
[23:09] actually, after Juventus, maybe the most clean sheets.
[23:11] Well, maybe not after this game. Who Napoli?
[23:14] Probably both conceded. They both competed Probably.
[23:17] They I don't know. After this game, four goals by
[23:19] enter it's. Pretty pretty average.
[23:21] By now, but then they scored four but I can clear out even
[23:23] though. When Jordan has been a rock.
[23:25] But Jordan has been very That's a contest.
[23:27] That's good. I did this with Varva.
[23:28] I did this little activity. Let's go through the games they
[23:30] played. Oh, their sketches been out.
[23:31] Leche let's I'm Polly Como but. I'm sure I could go.
[23:37] Back. A month ago and said you can
[23:40] only play who's in front of you. Yes, but The thing is, is that
[23:43] when you put. I also have a brain I don't
[23:45] know, I don't know about on, I don't know on that side, but I
[23:47] have a brain and I I know that Cuomo isn't who Chelsea is.
[23:50] Como has actually. Been almost lost to Cuomo, UVA.
[23:53] But who's who's talking about UVA?
[23:54] But like we, we, you. You put Napoli 8, you put Napoli
[23:57] 8 bro. I I don't think listen, I put
[24:00] Napoli 10 because of the the top of said, yeah, that is the
[24:02] maximum I would. Ever put them?
[24:04] But let's make a bet. They have Milan, Atlanta.
[24:06] Enter Roma the next four games. How many points do they get out
[24:08] of it? Milan enter Atlanta K Milan win.
[24:12] No reindeers or Taylor Hernandez win.
[24:15] Enter. I'll say draw.
[24:16] Away from home, though. Doesn't matter.
[24:18] Inter's ultra reserve, so 4 points and then Roma.
[24:25] Roma insta 3, so 7. OK, and then who's after that?
[24:28] Atlanta Insta 3. So.
[24:30] So what's the over under so? What's the over under there one
[24:35] say 1 Tell us Verona point he's not believe fair.
[24:37] What about with you? You went from 6:50.
[24:40] That's two wins and a draw out of four games.
[24:43] If you want if Roman Napoli dropped the. 40 you think?
[24:46] OK. So.
[24:46] Here OK, set a line what do you guys think the line would be 87
[24:50] but you just went from 6:50 I get no value out of that they're
[24:53] playing Roman Roman just got slapped by Ferentina and Atlanta
[24:57] they said I tell you you're no party hey the.
[25:00] Thing The thing is that Napoli and UVA went head to head so.
[25:03] Like you go. How could you say that?
[25:04] Napoli, they went for stroke. They went meat for meat, kids
[25:07] are saying. Yes, how could you say that
[25:10] Napoli is that much better than a UV or an Inter?
[25:13] Away from home, UV still couldn't score on Napoli.
[25:17] To me, it's a little bit premature putting Napoli on this
[25:18] list. I I put them there because
[25:20] they're SETI out leaders right now.
[25:21] But you that's. Where?
[25:22] That's where. But I'm pretty sure you had.
[25:24] Milan in the 1st power rankings you had not in the first one,
[25:26] the second one, the second one you had Milan.
[25:28] Actually, no, not not even. I thought about it.
[25:30] That put Spurs and then dropped them out very quickly.
[25:33] That Spurs are definitely not on this to.
[25:34] Be fake. By the way, who's on?
[25:37] Wait, wait, what spot are we on #8 So what?
[25:41] Did you put I put Napoli, I said.
[25:42] So you put Napoli. I'll let you guys go first if
[25:45] you'd like. I put Aston Villa.
[25:47] I put Aston Villa I. Put Aston Villa.
[25:49] Wow, I'm not even joking around. The same.
[25:51] Way So now look, Aston Villa, top of the Champions League
[25:54] table, undefeated, haven't conceded a goal.
[25:57] I want to say that these guys are actually an underdog for the
[26:00] Champions League this season. They can compete.
[26:03] This pulling the underdog gimmick, like I didn't have them
[26:05] third in Champions League before this the competition started.
[26:07] You saw the vision. I had them third in the Premier
[26:09] League this season actually, but.
[26:11] They've been really showing out in the Champions League.
[26:13] I am surprised. Bayern Munich is not a team that
[26:16] I thought Aston Villa could go into and win.
[26:19] What they did? Laying it off to you guys.
[26:24] Come on bro, they went meat for meat with buying and they out
[26:30] they out she meted them. But what are you talking about?
[26:33] Go on. Let's get it back on the rails
[26:37] here. Let's be OK.
[26:40] This is is this a stretch of form or is this actually is this
[26:44] class? Because look at the players that
[26:45] they have. I mean, they they did the good
[26:47] signings this summer with Onan. I mean, they replaced Douglas
[26:49] Louise, but at the core of their team it's still guys like
[26:52] Tielemans, Rogers, Watkins, like this.
[26:55] I don't know. I don't know if it could be for
[26:57] the Champions League. I'm really torn.
[26:58] But if you go player by player, a lot of their players before
[27:01] joining Aston Villa have Champions League experience.
[27:04] I mean even players like Andrea Ronano when he was at Lil, he
[27:07] played in Champions League. I'm pretty sure Tielemans play
[27:09] out of Champions League and at Monaco there's Paul Torres.
[27:13] Exactly. Leon Martinez.
[27:14] All these players are Loki and Paul Torres under Una Emery at
[27:18] Villarreal was a Europa League. One of the best center backs in
[27:20] Europa. Even just Una Emery, he has
[27:22] experience in this league and he's won Europa League multiple
[27:24] times so. One of the best knockout
[27:26] managers in the world right now for sure.
[27:28] But I I don't see I don't see them continuing this form.
[27:32] I agree. There's another five games in
[27:34] the Champions League. I just don't see them exactly
[27:36] staying undefeated. They might get into that playoff
[27:39] spot. I think it's very confident
[27:41] right now that they they can, but.
[27:42] If they make it through in a top eight spot, I mean you're in the
[27:45] round of 16. You just have to have a good
[27:48] form at the right time and they're you're in the Champions
[27:49] League semi final. We saw it last season with
[27:51] Dortmund. This is a more deserving team of
[27:53] a Champions League final than Dortmund was last.
[27:54] Oh 100%, this team's way better than Dortmund's Team I.
[27:57] Don't know. I'm thinking right now I'm
[27:58] putting the pieces together. This could be the silver, right?
[28:01] Cinderella team of the Champions League right now.
[28:03] But usually with those teams we see like five years later, we
[28:07] look back and say, oh, but look at these players that came out
[28:09] of that team. You know, the IX team with the,
[28:11] I mean like the Leicester team in this team.
[28:13] Like bro, I know I'm not talking about T lemons in five years.
[28:16] But you could low key say cut because we're using Aston Villa.
[28:20] You can Loki say they have a probably a top three goalie, top
[28:24] 4 goalie in the world and Diane Martinez.
[28:27] Watkins might be a top five striker in the world to be
[28:29] honest at his current pace. He's climbing up.
[28:31] And it's not just a one year thing.
[28:32] Last year Watkins was still on the same last year.
[28:35] Yeah, Demon. Exactly.
[28:37] And then you have players like Morgan Rogers who look like
[28:39] they're ready to take that next step and become an elite Premier
[28:41] League player. For me, it's not crazy to say
[28:43] that they could low key end up lifting the trophy.
[28:46] At the same time, it's a well, lifting the trophy is.
[28:48] Crazy bro not going If you're at the bet right now, who's more
[28:52] likely to win CL, Real Madrid or Aston Villa?
[28:55] Bro, what are you saying? No way.
[28:57] You. What are you saying?
[28:58] Look, it's tight. Did you?
[28:59] Are you serious? It's very.
[29:02] Serious top comment, Is Varvar off the Zaza today?
[29:04] No. But people are going to say I'm
[29:06] rage beating. It's actually crazy.
[29:07] No, but you actually are you. Rage.
[29:08] Beating with the Real Madrid kid on two, by the way.
[29:11] I it's not like you can't say I can go back and I had Axon Villa
[29:15] 18 three weeks ago in the chance.
[29:16] No, you said that from the start.
[29:18] Aston Villa are my dark horses. They are potentially going to
[29:21] win the tournament. Now after I see them against
[29:24] Bayern Munich, it's not crazy for me to say that they they
[29:26] have a really good chance of winning Champions League.
[29:28] I'm not. For me, their chance might be as
[29:30] good as Arsenal. There might they might have as
[29:32] good of a chance as Arsenal. I I can't believe it's a little
[29:36] bit. Of changes, they played Bologna
[29:38] in the Champions League. We know what Bologna is doing
[29:40] this season. They played Bayern Munich,
[29:41] obviously the 10 win and they played young boys.
[29:43] So I mean like. Young boys by what?
[29:46] 303 goals and. What did Inter be young boys by?
[29:49] 1. Bears.
[29:50] OK, Ayers, it's oh. Well, where you you solve
[29:52] football, you keep. That in mind.
[29:54] Sky Sports oh, they need a new they need a new oh, they need to
[29:57] present their farmer Oh my God, the.
[29:58] Breaking news Three goals equals three more points than someone.
[30:01] What? About a 22 tight IP switch does
[30:02] that. What does that move for you?
[30:03] Does that move then? But to be fair, I think they
[30:06] only have one loss this season. Liam Bella What about a 00 tie
[30:08] to Manchester United? Do they only have one loss this
[30:10] season? Last team right there, yeah.
[30:12] I mean, how many goals it into one against Man City?
[30:15] Zero my soul. Do like 6 teams in the Premier
[30:16] League. Congrats bro, lift that zero
[30:18] goals not. That's crazy.
[30:20] And also it's their first time where they're playing both
[30:23] Champions League and Premier League at the same time, so I
[30:25] think that affects them a lot. Listen because.
[30:26] They're not a. Champions team.
[30:28] Yeah, I'm a backup Barber here. They got that, brother.
[30:29] You're subbing on. You're subbing on Bailey.
[30:31] That was the starter in the CL final.
[30:33] They've already for the Champions League.
[30:34] Already, But Ross Barkley, Ross Barkley.
[30:37] Ross Barkley is then. He scored off the baller.
[30:39] He did score the last game. He's a baller.
[30:41] I can't like Ross Barkley, bro. Ross Barkley.
[30:44] He's been pretty good for the Prem I.
[30:46] Don't know, I think Aid is a is a very good spot for Aston
[30:48] Villa. I'm.
[30:49] Surprised we're agreeing. But The thing is, is that I
[30:52] don't know if we're going to all agree where they might actually
[30:54] go up depending on how Champions League goals, Premier League
[30:57] goals. See them face a big team.
[30:59] Let's see. Yeah, I think, I think we do
[31:00] have to wait. Barbara, did you say your 8th
[31:02] place or? I put Napoli, yeah, like I tried
[31:05] to forget about it quickly, but all right #7.
[31:09] The number seven spot boys. I put enter.
[31:11] I put PSG. Bro.
[31:13] PSG at 7 is absolutely crazy bro.
[31:16] Shit, shit, shit shit. That's way too high.
[31:19] What did? What have they done, except for
[31:21] the fact that their name is Paris Saint Germain, that makes
[31:23] you think that they should be 7? Look, shell hasn't been that
[31:26] nice, but domination and. Monaco been better?
[31:29] Byron's doing this. Byron's on the same wave,
[31:31] brother. Same way I.
[31:32] Just think, look, players like John Nevis have really been
[31:35] moving me this season. He started the season
[31:38] exceptionally well for PSG. I think he could turn into that
[31:40] midfielder that you really look at and be like, oh, he can
[31:42] control games in and out. Luis Enrique for me, I'm
[31:46] starting to get in my doubts. I'm not going to lie a bit.
[31:49] They're sneaking in. What makes you say that?
[31:51] Sneaking in he should be doing better with the squad that he
[31:54] has. I agree.
[31:55] Personally, I think so as. I said I think this squad is not
[31:58] that good. For me, he's under utilizing
[32:00] players like Columwani, which every European competition I see
[32:03] Columwani and I'm like oh this guys a baller.
[32:05] And then for club level, you see he's getting 20 minutes off the.
[32:08] Bench, but maybe he's not that good.
[32:09] You. You.
[32:09] Shit, you shit on Byron's defense.
[32:12] PSG's bro who district? I'm Pacho and Marquinos with
[32:16] Mendez and actually got a rating Kim and Jay and he's better than
[32:19] He's a open panel for sure. No, Why?
[32:21] What makes you say that? I don't know.
[32:22] Where is Pacho's Seria title? I don't even know where he came
[32:26] from. Germany.
[32:27] Germany. He was a baller in Frankfurt.
[32:30] I, I I just don't and let's. Play with Kolomani.
[32:32] No. Oh, maybe.
[32:33] I'm not sure when he joined Frankfurt I.
[32:34] I think it's a mix of Enrique and just the players
[32:39] individually just not being up to par in big matches like Usman
[32:42] Dembele that even in the Marseille game that just
[32:44] happened now, brother. He's been he's been known to
[32:47] flop in big games. Flops in big games.
[32:49] But he's still one of the best wingers in the world.
[32:51] I I think it's you want to be the best.
[32:52] You got to play the like play the best in the best games.
[32:55] It's you are not. He's not showing versus Arsenal.
[32:57] He did not show up. It's time to say that this guy
[32:59] is not that good. I don't want him.
[33:00] It's time to say it inter thing but like Lautaro in big games
[33:03] doesn't show. Up.
[33:04] Yes, he does. But goes against, yeah, goes
[33:06] against you, right? Not this is the UV game, but he
[33:08] scores. Pass Elan is not a big game Elan
[33:10] pro that is scored by the way. No, just in general.
[33:14] You missed what? Oh OK, He didn't score in one
[33:15] game. Big He's been blanking for a
[33:17] while. You pull a post.
[33:18] Yes, but he still scores in big games anyways.
[33:20] Marcus Turin's a bigger game player than.
[33:22] OK this is someone that doesn't like has not watched Inter.
[33:24] He just showed up this year, clearly.
[33:27] And things not please one of the top eight in the world and PSG 7
[33:30] that's. Amnesia from last year.
[33:32] If anybody else has PSG higher bro let me know I'm I'm gonna.
[33:35] Leave early. I have the 9th.
[33:36] I'm gonna leave early 9th. I had them, Yeah.
[33:38] I put P Oh you. Said them before, it's true.
[33:40] Yeah, exactly. And then seven spot boys who do.
[33:42] You they all say I. Had enter, he had PSGI.
[33:45] Have Bayern Munich in the 7th. Bayern Munich.
[33:48] I don't think it's high, it's the same wave as PSG, but I
[33:50] think Bayern's overall a better team than PSG.
[33:52] That's I, I don't see it as an issue.
[33:54] Brother, they're still going to the Bundesliga, Winning 5
[33:56] nothing. 4 nothing. I do think Bayern is better
[33:58] than. 'Cause you just smoked 2nd place
[33:59] or third place now. 3 Massey had a red card.
[34:02] I'm pretty. Sure.
[34:03] Yeah, they did. So the red cards don't.
[34:04] Count when do Massey not get records?
[34:06] Yeah but but Pavlovich getting injured.
[34:08] I, I you'll see where I have Byron.
[34:09] But if Gorezka has to play week in week out, it's not looking
[34:13] good bro. That's what Milly the sound
[34:16] debate that's. The sound I.
[34:20] Didn't never. Who's your seven?
[34:22] My 7 inter. I can't, yeah, I think, I think
[34:24] that's a little low for Inter. My 6 Aston Villa.
[34:28] Too high. Too high.
[34:29] No, I think a too high, but I. Can't you can't see?
[34:31] All aboard the Aston Villa train.
[34:33] Choo Choo. I'm there bro.
[34:34] I'm first class in the front. Bro, I think Varvar, I think
[34:37] honestly, I think you have a misunder, not a misunderstanding
[34:40] of of power rankings, but I think you're making it more
[34:42] predictive because you want to look back and say that you had
[34:45] it in the right spot, but it shouldn't be it's current.
[34:48] Currently Astonville after winning against Bayern and being
[34:50] in a honestly there if Arsenal are in the title race and I'm
[34:54] not saying that I have a better chance than Arsenal, but they're
[34:56] equal on points right now, then you have to to consider Aston
[34:58] Villa somewhat in the title race also like I.
[35:00] Don't think Aston Villa got a result versus Liverpool, but
[35:02] we'll see. We'll see when they play versus
[35:04] each other. Time will tell.
[35:05] That's the problem is that teams, you can still blame a lot
[35:07] of things on form because it's so early, but we need like maybe
[35:11] five more games, like until the next.
[35:13] When's the next international break?
[35:14] The end of November. November.
[35:15] It's on. Yeah.
[35:16] It's mid November. Soon.
[35:17] Yeah, it's relatively soon. But listen.
[35:19] Demonic work, by the way, putting back-to-back
[35:21] international breaks after like a month.
[35:23] They want to kill. Us they should never be allowed.
[35:24] No. Oh.
[35:25] My God, But then do we get a break?
[35:26] I think we get like you get. No international breaks for like
[35:29] 4 months. These players get no breaks.
[35:31] It's kind of crazy. Let's not start the
[35:33] conversation. The amount of travel that they.
[35:35] Have to be a whole podcast in itself.
[35:37] That's crazy hope. They have the Nintendo Switch to
[35:39] play on the. Go.
[35:40] I'm not going to say it because I mean we're Canadian, but like,
[35:43] if you're a Canadian playing in Europe and you're doing these
[35:45] international breaks, good luck. Imagine like a Luis Diaz going
[35:48] back to Colombia from Liverpool. Bro look at which national team
[35:52] got stuck in the airport for like 11.
[35:54] Nigeria. Nigeria.
[35:54] Nigeria. Was in Nigeria that way, It was
[35:56] in this. Bro, you're a national team.
[35:59] Bro how are you getting stuck in an airport?
[36:01] It was Libya, but it's 'cause the Libya the.
[36:03] Libyan government kept. Them and they weren't feeding
[36:05] them while they were at the airport that's.
[36:07] A crazy story like 18 hours no. Bathrooms, I think even two, I'm
[36:10] not sure, no. No, in an airport, it's crazy.
[36:13] We're on the junk. And then they missed that.
[36:14] They missed the bathrooms. They ended up missing the game.
[36:17] Oh. Yeah, they missed their
[36:17] national. Yeah, they they.
[36:19] Who was at work like if it? Who is, who's the one tweeting?
[36:22] Like just saying, like, listen, just take the three points.
[36:24] Like we just wanna go. See their.
[36:25] Bunny 5I was Bunny on Twitter. Yeah, he was saying like,
[36:29] listen, just let us go home. We'll take the.
[36:30] Posted his car crash recently that he was in go yeah and all
[36:34] bloody and stuff and he's posting like God is great, like
[36:37] we did not need to know that you got into a car accident better.
[36:40] Better we didn't know you were an accident.
[36:43] God damn. But at least thinking gone.
[36:45] Yeah, quickly. Yeah, he's done that quick
[36:47] message. I'm just going to say my 6
[36:49] 'cause it's we talked about them and it's buying me too. 6 I have
[36:53] a. Crazy high.
[36:54] We're kind of too. Copy and paste the.
[36:55] Buyer #10 that's crazy. Who buyer #10 I had buyer #10.
[36:59] I still think they could. Be 90% of European teams.
[37:02] Where? Where did you have them the the
[37:03] week before? Buyer and hire the national
[37:05] villa doesn't make sense. To me, but where did you have
[37:06] them before? I think you also have to take
[37:08] that into consideration like. It's kind of, I mean, that Barsa
[37:12] game and Aston Villa game really showed me that Bayern are not
[37:15] ready to compete this year. They're really not firms.
[37:17] I think we're going. To have the exact same ranking
[37:18] the whole way through, because I'm kind of scared now.
[37:20] Now it's kind of smoother. Sailing in in the sixth spot for
[37:22] me. I have inter.
[37:24] I had inter 7th the last power ranking so like.
[37:26] You move them up. Don't say that.
[37:27] I didn't. I didn't move them, downgrade
[37:30] them. Yeah, I move them up by 1.
[37:31] Couple of shitty performances 1. Shitty, as I said.
[37:34] About a win here and there. But I know you're just trying to
[37:36] no, but like I'm telling you right now, there's no reason
[37:39] you. Came out that you make game
[37:40] happy with your performance. I honestly think we should have
[37:42] won that game, Yeah, but he did it.
[37:43] I. Said I said you got.
[37:45] Two, I'm I'm not happy about it, but we we didn't score an open
[37:47] play like. We scored four, you conceded
[37:51] four goals in open. OK, that's great.
[37:52] But that's a nice. Game ended up 4/4.
[37:54] Is that not a negative? Yeah, but OK.
[37:55] Four games before that we ended up winning.
[37:57] I don't understand why you guys lost the.
[37:58] Milan lost the Milan. But I took that into account
[38:01] last Power rankings, I told you guys.
[38:04] Bro, if you're if you're the guy to.
[38:05] Understand. And we did the power rankings
[38:07] after that Milan game and I put them 7th.
[38:09] OK, I have a question. Yes, if Arsenal lose to their
[38:11] rivals, who do we want to? Not Spurs, because Liverpool.
[38:14] Liverpool. They.
[38:16] Drew, they just drew Liverpool right now.
[38:17] Let. Me finish my scenario, if they
[38:19] lose versus Liverpool and then they go ahead and play City and
[38:23] they 44 tie to City, are you not dropping them?
[38:27] No, because in between what if they want actually?
[38:29] Sorry, sorry, not Arsenal. This should be City because this
[38:31] should be the front runner of said Yeah, Inter are the ones to
[38:34] take the spot down. So if Man City tie to Arsenal
[38:37] 4/4 and lose to Liverpool, you're dropping them in your
[38:40] Power Rankings 100. Percent, but that's back-to-back
[38:43] that this was not back-to-back I'm talking.
[38:44] It was last. Power rankings, bro, Last power
[38:47] rankings I took it into account. That's why I put them 7th.
[38:49] I put them sixth because since that point they've gone four
[38:52] games one, one game draw. Here, look, I, I'll give you the
[38:57] the my, my rationale that I but last last time we did the power
[39:02] rankings, you could still say, oh, enter are probably going to
[39:05] win Syria like all these other teams, like they're probably
[39:07] just competing for CL. If we really want to think about
[39:09] it now, title race is wide open. Enter do not look convincing.
[39:13] They do not look like, oh, they're going to dominate the
[39:15] Syria season and they're going to just they're just giving all
[39:19] the other teams time to catch up.
[39:20] It does not look like that. I'll tell you right now, this
[39:23] team obviously does not give me the same confidence as it did
[39:25] last year, last year. If we did power rankings last
[39:28] year, rather I'd put into probably top three if I wanted
[39:31] to. Yeah, I don't because because we
[39:32] were the best defensive. Team to go Madrid really changes
[39:34] everything. I need you to understand we're
[39:36] the best defensive team in the league in the world last year.
[39:38] But didn't score against Athletic.
[39:39] No, so exactly so you would there was actually like
[39:43] unbreakable. No, but there's no we're not.
[39:45] Talking about last. But there's no reason to put
[39:47] them above, let's say, Arsenal. They were they, they they.
[39:51] Were competed. They were competed.
[39:52] Winning. Arsenal and Champions League
[39:54] Arsenal and Champions League was nothing to nothing to like.
[39:56] Look up but. They were better.
[39:57] They were better than or enter in the.
[39:59] You guys, they went to a penalty shootout with Porto brother that
[40:01] we beat 3. Nothing that you lost in here
[40:03] before Madrid in a penalty shootout, you Ding Dong.
[40:06] Bro, we went head to head with Byron.
[40:07] Stupid idiot like you don't understand what I'm talking
[40:10] about. You never understand.
[40:11] I talk, you don't listen. But Millie, do you agree that
[40:14] you did not even? I'm not really.
[40:16] No but you're you're being an idiot bro.
[40:17] We have not lost the game since the last power rankings.
[40:20] If anything, they should be at the same place where they were
[40:23] lost. My confidence level of Inter
[40:25] winning the Syria now is lower than I was at last powering.
[40:28] OK, so I don't understand because wins don't matter when
[40:32] it's inter, when it's every other team.
[40:34] Yeah, bro, they won. Yeah, bro, they won.
[40:35] Yeah, bro, they won, yeah. You got a factor in that they
[40:37] did win. But brother, what I'm trying to
[40:38] tell you is you were not convinced about the Juventus
[40:41] match. You lost against Milan, you
[40:42] weren't convinced about that one.
[40:43] You weren't convinced about the Roma match.
[40:45] What are you convinced about? This team is shit.
[40:46] Real Madrid this. Team is shit.
[40:48] No Inter has digressed. You don't need to yell, man.
[40:51] You're telling me not to yell? Brother, you literally are 80%
[40:54] of the reason why people don't listen to this podcast
[40:56] sometimes, because you're yelling and it goes past the
[40:58] level of these mics. So don't tell me about fucking
[41:01] real. Madrid.
[41:03] Stupid Real Madrid if. I answer my question let.
[41:06] You talking over? Me.
[41:06] I didn't. I didn't know.
[41:07] But you talking over me, would you not?
[41:08] Say there's a regression. I think there is a regression,
[41:11] but that's why I'm not putting them top four you're bumping.
[41:13] Them up one. Because they haven't lost.
[41:17] We haven't, bro. Chalenoglu comes back, we're at
[41:19] full strength. I I don't see this team
[41:21] necessarily losing every single game like this.
[41:23] I don't think we we tied 44 if Chalanog was in this game.
[41:26] Remember when you guys dropped Arsenal and we, we, we just
[41:29] didn't have convincing wins. But you guys dropped Arsenal?
[41:31] My logic. I I.
[41:33] He dropped Arsenal too because they weren't convincing wins,
[41:35] but we still won. Yeah, but you guys were getting
[41:37] red cards and stuff. I'm not saying Arsenal don't
[41:39] deserve it. I think keeping them the same
[41:41] level is the Max you can do for Inter and I think you like
[41:44] you're you're not as confident in your season.
[41:46] You think buying right now is having a better season than
[41:48] Inter buying right now? I mean, no.
[41:50] You think Aston Aston Villa is having a better season than
[41:53] Enter, Yeah. There's a debate for them for.
[41:55] That OK for the for their own standards because, you know, we
[41:57] win titles, all right, PSG, you think having a better season
[42:00] than enter? No, because they lose in the
[42:02] Champions. League.
[42:03] No, I wouldn't you. Think Napoli's having a better
[42:05] season than Enter but bro debatable playing one.
[42:07] Game played Arsenal, Bayern in the Champions League.
[42:08] Like wait until you play it we. Played Manchester City but they
[42:11] tried 00 which a game. That was a good show on That was
[42:13] a good showing, no? We could have won.
[42:14] No, we could. Have won?
[42:16] No, they could have won bro. Not no, no, no.
[42:18] That was anything bro. That was the most have won.
[42:21] They didn't either. So it goes both.
[42:22] Ways they should have won? No, we could have.
[42:24] Won No both of. Them have missed 2 sitters like
[42:27] absolute. Secretary in the sitters.
[42:28] Latarian too, yeah. Lataros wasn't a sitter.
[42:31] I don't see the the brother. I'm not like putting them top
[42:33] five. No, it's just the idea of
[42:35] putting them up when things are stagnant, if not going down.
[42:39] But they did like the things that they did win games, so it's
[42:42] hard to not even. Like I said bro, when other
[42:43] teams have other teams have won games and we still drop them
[42:46] just because they haven't looked convincing.
[42:47] I think that was more casualty we.
[42:49] Keep dropping Athletico. We we kept dropping Before this
[42:52] Champions League. Last game they lost to little,
[42:54] but before that we were kept dropping Athletico even though
[42:56] they were having positive. Results.
[42:58] No, they really weren't. They really they?
[43:00] Were OK. Can we can we go like I need you
[43:03] to look at these inter games because it's like, bro, it's not
[43:06] like it's it's 21 and it's not like it's one. 132 against Roma
[43:10] 1 Nothing. One, nothing against Roma, which
[43:12] was fine because we dominated that game anyway. 032 against
[43:15] Torino 1 Nothing against Roma 1 nothing against young boys.
[43:17] It's not So what's this for today Against So what's the
[43:20] standard? Parent or we should win every
[43:21] game for nothing. If we don't win for nothing, God
[43:23] forbid, I think we're that you're.
[43:24] Allowed a couple of games like that, but like people are now
[43:27] pushing like the red button on Real Madrid season after a game
[43:30] like let's say the classical losing no, but OK, classical is
[43:33] a loss. Yes, that's that's an
[43:34] embarrassing result. But you you could do the
[43:36] comparison with the real. Game Real Madrid.
[43:38] Let's say they haven't been convincing before.
[43:40] This this this El Clasico game which led to this result.
[43:44] Yeah. So at one point these non
[43:47] convincing results are going to lead to a drop in form.
[43:51] Or that's when you lose, in my opinion, because when you keep
[43:53] winning, it's hard to justify the really.
[43:55] Million only the Roma game was that negative because bro, they
[43:58] generated like I hate to be the guy dominating every young boys.
[44:01] They generate 3.27 young boys, I know, but that's good.
[44:05] Shitty. Oh my God bro.
[44:06] You can't. It's a win.
[44:08] Yeah, but about 3.27 XG is like that's convincing.
[44:11] The Roma game is the problem when you play Roma on XG, no?
[44:14] Chalanoga was the first game we didn't have Chalanoga, we had
[44:17] fratas. We were playing Baralas at AG
[44:18] Star. Inter Inter versus Torino was
[44:20] that was like a game Puram hat trick, but they were
[44:22] convincingly in the lead. Like, yeah, they only scored at
[44:25] the 90th minute. Torino make it 232.
[44:28] It was 31 the red. Star Belgrade game was
[44:30] absolutely convincing the enter Ulineze.
[44:32] The stats may say 3-2, but they were this was all them with one
[44:35] Luca goal and the lucha whatever.
[44:37] Yeah, in. The 90th minute, whatever.
[44:40] Are you are you a bit worried of the depth though?
[44:41] Like a DeMarco injury? You're screwed.
[44:44] None. Of any mark, any starter injury.
[44:46] It's a it's. To run injury you're.
[44:48] Chalenoglu, Chalenoglu was worrying for me and any, any one
[44:51] of our center backs is a worry because I don't, I think
[44:54] defensively we've digressed. Listen, I think DeMarco, if you
[44:56] that if you lose him, that's a huge loss.
[44:58] Yeah, OK. You play Darmian, let's we
[45:00] talked. About Inter to Inter, it's boxed
[45:02] box. Let's cover other teams.
[45:04] Yeah, as we speak about Manchester United for 45
[45:06] minutes. No.
[45:07] Problem I I think this intersegment, we gave you guys
[45:10] the limelight. We haven't spoken about Mattress
[45:11] United in a while, so good for a good reason.
[45:14] He's very good. How about you win games and win
[45:15] title? Number #5 on my list is Arsenal.
[45:19] Me too. Me too, Arsenal 5th as well.
[45:22] OK, so. We're agreeing way too much.
[45:24] We're. Very.
[45:24] We're on the same page on this, no?
[45:26] You notice how I can acknowledge the progression of a team?
[45:29] Yeah, but I brought up. Arsenal.
[45:30] Yeah, but Arsenal? I had them six last time I put
[45:32] them 5th. Why'd you put them?
[45:33] Why'd you bring them up? They've only been worse.
[45:36] Because I think a lot of other teams have gotten worse.
[45:39] Iron got worse. I had them fourth last time I
[45:41] dropped them. Like it's more of a it's more of
[45:43] a hole. You're plugging a hole
[45:45] situation. So your last power.
[45:46] Oh, I technically put ours. No, Millie put Arsenal up.
[45:48] Yeah. I dropped them one.
[45:50] Firms dropped them one, I was AI dropped them by two.
[45:54] I put them 5. And you kept them the same.
[45:55] Yeah. And what?
[45:56] What do you think the reasoning is to drop them by?
[45:58] I like. Two point I'm all for some
[45:59] Arsenal slander. Loss for Bournemouth, yes.
[46:01] Lost at Bournemouth, it was a loss.
[46:03] Red card while I say that red card, I think red cards is a
[46:08] stupid excuse to use to be honest, because red cards just
[46:10] happened in the sport. They just they're they're your
[46:12] fault. You got a red card?
[46:14] So don't complain about the the penalty.
[46:16] You couldn't see it today. That's completely different
[46:18] because that's part of the game. That's not the game because
[46:20] that's just a stupid call. But.
[46:21] You did it bro, the league did it.
[46:22] Part of the game. OK, whatever.
[46:23] I don't care about my season right now.
[46:25] It's I'm, I'm so they have had injuries, so we do have to add
[46:31] that into account. Saka injury.
[46:33] Odegard injury now Gabrielle Saliba suspended.
[46:36] But now he's back. No worries.
[46:37] Two more games. Saliba Saliba's back.
[46:38] Gabrielle just got injured now. But Saka missed that Bournemouth
[46:41] game. And Saka's been, by the way,
[46:42] Saka, absolutely exceptional this season.
[46:45] He's been. A pretty good score today.
[46:46] OK, random, random question. You can you can knock.
[46:49] No, you OK, you could have knocked it down.
[46:52] No, I was going to say best in the Prem.
[46:53] I was going to say he continues his pace for the whole season.
[46:56] I know he doesn't have the drip or the aura that you're looking
[46:58] for. He has a shot at Premier League
[46:59] player of the season. He keeps stuff for an entire
[47:01] season, but he's on ten goals and assists in 11.
[47:03] Games, yeah, but this is Saka in my opinion is best form.
[47:06] I, I Cole Palmer is matching him and I don't even think Cole
[47:09] Palmer is doing playing like he's playing well, but it's not
[47:11] like the top Cole Palmer level I've seen.
[47:14] And not to discredit him, but Saka did have assists on the
[47:17] corners. This is an interesting question.
[47:18] If you had to pick a Premier League player of the season
[47:20] right now, who would you pick? Palmer.
[47:21] Saka. Sala.
[47:24] Salah up there too. I think it's between Palmer and
[47:25] Salah I. Would pick saka in big games.
[47:28] He's been the difference maker and no one else has even come
[47:30] close to making a difference like him defensively.
[47:33] Yeah, we have we had we had the rolls Royces, but like that
[47:35] doesn't win you a game. Saka's the guy that changes
[47:38] changes the pace of the game. Martinelli been dropping off
[47:41] Harvards can't change. Can't change his underwears
[47:43] Brolo so like. I would put honestly I would say
[47:46] Palmer but Salah also. For me Saka is like third but
[47:51] clear from everyone below. I would say he's more close to
[47:53] Holland. To say Saka has been better than
[47:54] Salah to me is a little bit wild because that why Salah has the
[47:57] same stats. Yes, they played.
[47:59] There's better stats, Sala. Sala.
[48:01] How many? Well, just just based on holy,
[48:03] based on games played. But it's crazy how this guy's
[48:06] like 30-4 and he's gonna have his best season ever.
[48:08] Yeah, but do you see him physically, Bro?
[48:10] This guy looks like he's the best.
[48:11] Yeah. Ripped as ever, like he's.
[48:13] That buzz cut? He dropped a couple of bees,
[48:15] bro. Yeah, it's a.
[48:16] Couple you're moving a little quicker now.
[48:18] That like Goku taking off his weights on his feet.
[48:20] God damn. But Arsenal?
[48:22] Arsenal have I, I I'm at the same level of confidence as I
[48:27] was Arsenal a month ago. It did.
[48:28] My confidence level didn't change to be honest, because the
[48:31] injuries did have a major. Part, I'm not going to lie, they
[48:34] piled up, but I do think Arsenal, they still have the
[48:37] pieces to to compete in every single game.
[48:40] That might play that convincingly is another issue,
[48:42] but I do think that they're still probably top three or
[48:46] minimum top three in the Premier League.
[48:48] My my issue with Arsenal the last month is that with
[48:53] Odegard's injured, OK, how do you work around that?
[48:57] For me, playing a midfield aparte Mourino and Bryce is not
[49:01] the solution. Arteta and I mentioned this
[49:03] before, Arteta needs to have the balls to play Ethan Winery he
[49:07] needs. To bro today put him.
[49:09] On something I don't think that makes.
[49:10] Sense something skelly today versus.
[49:12] Wild, yeah, but that's a. He's a left back.
[49:13] I'm pretty sure it's not a. He's a full back but he got
[49:15] subbed in versus Liverpool in a tight game.
[49:18] How many minutes? They have 50 minutes left, 15 or
[49:21] 20 minutes or. More not mistaken.
[49:22] I swear I was in the 60th minute.
[49:23] Anyway, I'll check. It out.
[49:24] No, I wasn't. That, but that's that's because
[49:25] you had an injury to Calafiore and Gabrielle got Kiwi or subbed
[49:31] in for Gabrielle. It was a 76 minute 76.
[49:34] Yeah. No one, no one area in the 85th.
[49:36] Yeah, like like. This is why, and I don't know if
[49:39] you guys saw that 16 year old who joined Manchester United
[49:42] from Arsenal, who scored a hat trick in his first weekend.
[49:44] A lot of players, Cheeto, OB Martin, he's like this English
[49:49] dominant. I think he's actually Danish
[49:52] dominant 16 year old striker who scored like I don't even want
[49:56] to, I want to say the wrong amount, but a ridiculous amount
[49:59] of goals. He's like the English league
[50:01] Francesco Camaro, let's say. Impossible.
[50:04] I'm telling you, the stats that this guy has pulled, it's, it's
[50:07] it's ridiculous. But he's a striker.
[50:09] Yeah, he's the same Bill. He's like 6 foot, 3 super long
[50:12] legs. It's it's crazy.
[50:13] He joined Manchester United because at Arsenal he didn't see
[50:16] the pathway. Last year.
[50:17] I'm pretty sure Arsenal did not give a single minute to someone
[50:21] that that came from their Academy if I'm not mistaken.
[50:24] Well, you saw with. Them I'm saying like like you
[50:27] 21. Listen, you're going with 20 and
[50:29] Mill Smith Row. Mill Smith Row had to leave
[50:32] because he wasn't getting minutes.
[50:33] But that's different, and Mel Smith row was in like a A.
[50:35] Starters player yeah no, I agree, but just the same way as
[50:38] this guy probably wasn't but. Also even tough position to
[50:40] breakthrough. Yeah, Arsenal.
[50:41] Arsenal have this generational 14 year old kid called Max
[50:44] Diamond coming out of their Academy and reports are saying
[50:47] he's kind of like. On the fence.
[50:49] He's on the fence of signing a new contract because he he sees
[50:53] that Nuneri, who was considered somewhat like generational at
[50:56] his point in in that development, he's not really
[51:00] getting. He's getting, I think.
[51:02] He's getting minutes. I think he's getting minutes.
[51:05] No, he's getting minutes bro. No, we couldn't get more and
[51:07] more I. Don't want to use metric as an
[51:09] example because we are mismanaged right now, but a club
[51:13] like. Yeah, but look at Man City.
[51:15] Man City had to ship out Cobra. Which was big boys?
[51:17] Which big boys give minutes? What?
[51:19] Would a what a would a Etho nary be better off going to a
[51:22] Dortmund instead of an Arsenal? Because you see up when Jaden
[51:25] Sancho joined that 17, yes he gets more minutes to the first
[51:28] team, he gets more. So you have to understand that
[51:30] that a talent like Winery, even though you might be hurting a
[51:32] bit right now, in the long run you are way more beneficial
[51:36] playing. Listen, these guys are growing
[51:37] up become they're Arsenal fans growing up like through and
[51:40] through. So you give them a contract and
[51:42] you send them on loan to a team like Dorman.
[51:45] I think that's fine and that's good.
[51:46] That's well in Dandy bro. Dorman don't want him on loan.
[51:48] Dorman want him permanently. They won't loan Winery.
[51:51] Look, I'll give you another example.
[51:53] Paul Tugba, when he left Manchester United, it's because
[51:56] he saw which one was it. I think, 'cause there was a
[51:59] bunch of injuries in midfield, which is kind of similar,
[52:00] similar to what Winery is doing right now.
[52:02] There was a bunch of injuries in midfield and Ferguson was Pug
[52:06] was like Pug was thinking his head Oh, I got to get a start
[52:09] now like I'm next in line. I'm 18 year, I'm 17 years old,
[52:12] 18 years old, like I got to get play time now in my career.
[52:15] He starts thinking, OK, so Alex Ferguson goes, no, we're going
[52:18] to start Johnny Evans in midfield.
[52:20] That's when pug. But he said he's had an
[52:21] interview. He's like, OK, I'm out.
[52:23] I I obviously I'm not their priority right now, like I'm out
[52:26] and he then he left the UVA. You saw what he did at UVA.
[52:29] You're telling me matches today we're not better off playing
[52:31] pug. But then.
[52:31] And then UV and then Johnny Evans United bottom background.
[52:34] Yes, but that's that's once again we're stupid club.
[52:36] I agree, but I don't know. What you're talking about?
[52:41] I was saying we've. Lost the plot that that Arsenal
[52:45] should start the last the last month you need to.
[52:47] Was Liverpool playing youngsters?
[52:48] Which youngsters are Liverpool playing?
[52:50] Curtis Curtis Jones. Curtis Jones has been playing
[52:52] for two seasons. But he's now an established
[52:55] player. He's an.
[52:56] Academy. Player when he first got
[52:58] introduced Liverpool's back up right back.
[53:00] If Trunk gets an injury, it's Connor Bradley straight from
[53:02] their. Academy, it's one of those.
[53:03] Even some like like Kwanzaa who hasn't really played yet.
[53:06] Exactly. But it's one of those moments in
[53:07] Arsenal's like timeline where it's like, OK, they kind of have
[53:10] to put everything together now. So it we see this a lot with
[53:14] teams where it's very tough to manage like youth playing time
[53:17] and wanting to win like success. Now, short term, there's rare
[53:21] times where they line up and then you win with youth players.
[53:25] But I don't think Arsenal right now, like in their current
[53:28] moment, the the priority is to win.
[53:31] Look at unfortunately, look at Spurs.
[53:33] Whatever comfortable enough to be able to put that it's.
[53:35] Almost like an Italian mindset. Logan, it is the same thing.
[53:38] Spurs against midweek. Mikey Moore played in the
[53:43] Conference League and played amazing.
[53:45] Who did they play for? I don't, I don't remember, but
[53:48] they played, they played midweek.
[53:49] Mikey Moore, who's supposed to be like this crazy talented 16
[53:52] year old and then he played so well.
[53:54] He got a start today and again started.
[53:56] Even. It's not even bad and lost.
[53:58] But yes, the. Loss.
[54:00] They did lose it. He didn't play.
[54:01] That, but not his. Fault making more a guy that
[54:02] dropped the worst performance. On his team OK football rating
[54:05] foot. Mob rating OK I watched the game
[54:06] I was watching because Solanke I have him in FPL not play that
[54:09] but one. Of four successive dribbles, one
[54:11] of four I'm. Just saying.
[54:12] Arsenal, Arsenal. It's not in Parte Marino.
[54:17] Rice is not amid that. I think I would feel.
[54:19] I do think that's up to injuries.
[54:21] I, I still think Arsenal deserve to be in that top five in the
[54:24] power shift up right now. I.
[54:25] Don't even know why I put them below my.
[54:27] Because they still ended up pulling like listen, even with
[54:29] these injuries. Well, you're fighting back
[54:30] against Liverpool, who a lot of people have.
[54:33] I'm not listen, a lot of people have them as one of the best
[54:35] teams in Europe. If you have the best team in
[54:36] Europe and you're still pulling out A22 draw like I still.
[54:39] Think that's our game to look at?
[54:41] Barcelona, what they did when at the beginning they trust their
[54:44] youth. Casado came through, but now it
[54:46] came through. That's also special case
[54:49] different. Special I would say Arsenal have
[54:51] one of the best academies in England.
[54:53] No, Yes. Yes, yes.
[54:54] Chelsea City. Yeah.
[54:56] I'd argue I don't know them off the top.
[54:59] The ones in the Academy right now.
[55:00] I'd argue Arsenal are probably up there bro.
[55:04] I don't think you. Said they don't give them
[55:05] minutes. City.
[55:06] But look again, City didn't give Cole Palmer minutes and look at
[55:08] how that turned out. They.
[55:09] Ship him out, that's what that's.
[55:10] Unfortunately, there's there's gems that fall through the
[55:12] cracks. But again, this is this is a a
[55:14] timeline. Chelsea ain't produced a Cole
[55:16] Palmer or a Bukai Osaka, I'm gonna say.
[55:18] Bro Chelsea produced. Factors.
[55:20] Everyone. Yeah, there's.
[55:21] Salah, Kevin de Bruyner. Musala's that's.
[55:23] City Academy. Chelsea Academy.
[55:25] Chelsea. Salah was in the Swiss league
[55:29] team of the season before he joined Chelsea, so that's not a
[55:31] youth Academy. Katie BI mean brother.
[55:34] Well, these are guys, guys. That went through Chelsea.
[55:37] That's what I'm I'm just mentioning just when you players
[55:40] that fell. Through the youth, the crowd,
[55:41] you, you've seen the. Katie B never played for Chelsea
[55:45] youth teams. OK, but he was still a Chelsea
[55:47] player. But he was never a youth.
[55:49] But he was never given minutes like a Co Palmer situation.
[55:51] Where does he have to go? Somewhere else.
[55:53] It's different when you know what you have, like when you
[55:56] know as a youngster he came through from 12 years old, you
[56:00] know what you have. It's different.
[56:02] Anyways, let's move on. Yeah, we're at. #4 I have now
[56:05] Liverpool. That's very, very, very, very
[56:08] low. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[56:10] Very low Boss boss. Get out of here.
[56:12] I was about to put them on their arsenal.
[56:13] You guys are lucky I even put I even.
[56:14] So 1 draw against Arsenal changes everything.
[56:16] Bro, who have Liverpool played once again?
[56:18] Bro, what's so special about their season?
[56:19] Bro, we tied. This in the Prem.
[56:21] We played better than them too. I don't know that second-half.
[56:24] I don't. I don't first in the.
[56:24] Front and they went convincingly.
[56:26] So forget like there's there's there are arguments where I do
[56:29] agree like who have they played like a monopoly situation?
[56:31] Yes, yes. Where it's like they're winning
[56:32] one nothing versus SCAF teams, but Liverpool are winning 4
[56:36] nothing, 3 nothing. Leipzig.
[56:38] No, they're not. They're not winning.
[56:40] They're they, they, they win versus they win. 3 nothing and
[56:43] four nothing but the rest of their games, 22 to Arsenal, 10
[56:45] to Leipzig, 21 to Chelsea, 10 to Crystal Palace.
[56:48] And by the way, that was when Crystal Palace was ass.
[56:50] What? A20 to Bologna, 21 to Wolves.
[56:53] Like he talks about Inter not winning convincingly, this
[56:57] ain't. Two games.
[56:58] Watch like the games tell you everything.
[57:00] Salah is at the top of his career.
[57:02] You have people like Gravin Birch who are coming up as the
[57:04] best midfielders in the Prem. OK, calm down.
[57:05] Like bro, listen to what people are saying in the conversations
[57:09] of the best Premier League midfielders.
[57:10] Gravin Birch is in there. Then you use your mind and then
[57:12] you know Gravin Birch is nowhere near there.
[57:14] I agree, but people are saying that so clearly there's
[57:17] something special with that guy. Defensively.
[57:19] Konata and Van Dyke have been one of the best defenses in the
[57:21] Prem. Trent is balling out.
[57:23] He's an excellent. Liverpool defense, and I say
[57:25] it's the best defense in the Premier League, maybe in the
[57:27] world. Maybe even in the world, because
[57:29] it's hard to beat them. Against Liverpool, yeah, but
[57:33] Robertson, Loki washed. When I watch Liverpool, I kind
[57:36] of say, bro, they they're kind of, they dominate every single
[57:41] game. Bro, you got yourself a power
[57:43] guaranteed. Next power ranking Liverpool is
[57:45] going to be dropped for every single one of us.
[57:46] No, I'm saying and it's I mean it's a guarantee.
[57:48] Who are they facing next in the talk Shooter?
[57:50] They don't matter. They're playing hard teams.
[57:51] Levy Q's in Aston Villa. But in my opinion, they should
[57:55] win all these games. City.
[57:56] Coming soon, I don't. Know and if if they are how good
[57:58] you guys say they are, they will.
[57:59] But I know they won't. I mean, listen.
[58:01] Because this is a team that struggled last year under Clop,
[58:04] Under you're gonna Clop. Yeah, I know.
[58:05] But this is a new era, I think. I think Arne Slott has.
[58:07] I don't think he's from. The general there's pro, there's
[58:09] pros and cons bro. Low key Arne slots might be
[58:12] doing a better job than CLOP for last season but.
[58:15] Yeah, yeah, we, we've been saying this.
[58:16] See that's. Fair.
[58:16] Yeah. So I I think Clop is more
[58:20] better, might be better attacking wise but defensively
[58:22] it's not even close. Yeah, there's a trade off.
[58:25] Yeah. Anyways, my number, what are we
[58:27] at now? #4.
[58:29] Barcelona. Too low.
[58:32] Very low. There's no way when.
[58:33] They say too low to everything. How many things are in our?
[58:34] Top Now Now that's crazy. Barcelona fans have been asking
[58:38] for a formal apology. And you should to give them.
[58:40] It's not only me, by the way, it's there's three other members
[58:43] who say that. Said we said.
[58:45] No, it's just me. Go to the.
[58:46] Go to the It's. Just you, Impala.
[58:47] Bro OK we do not care you. Do not care.
[58:51] Do. Not care.
[58:53] I'm more reasonable. Barcelona fans, it's pretty
[58:56] tough to deny you at this point. It's getting pretty difficult.
[58:59] Stop D Ming me on Instagram. Yeah, that's true.
[59:02] Stop D Ming me on Instagram. Keep.
[59:03] D Ming them. You're doing good.
[59:05] I'm gonna delete my Instagram. I keep doing it.
[59:09] I apologize some I can read out some DMS that I got I.
[59:11] Apologize to I must have. Gotten some our our recent
[59:14] YouTube had more had more comments about the podcast bars
[59:19] the comments on the podcast than the actual YouTube.
[59:21] Some guys say I better see FC Barcelona on top of that power
[59:24] rankings. Eric Lopez fully calling them
[59:28] out. Go talk bro, go talk.
[59:30] Marcy said. We're waiting for the apologies
[59:33] to Barsa. Farhan says in all caps.
[59:36] Speak now. Speak now.
[59:37] I hit him with three dots. Look.
[59:39] Abu Abu Abu 13, Syed said. Yo man, I have so much respect
[59:43] for you being on a football podcast and being mentally
[59:45] disabled and chatting utter nonsense with no ball knowledge.
[59:48] That's crazy. So you see the Barsa fans, I
[59:52] really we have a love hate relationship, mostly hate, but
[59:56] we have a love hate relationship.
[59:58] Never won't say sorry. I'm gonna say sorry because bro,
[1:00:01] you don't win versus Ancelotti's Real Madrid for.
[1:00:03] Zero. My argument still stands.
[1:00:07] What's Champions League round of 16?
[1:00:09] It will always prove that Barcelona, when it gets to touch
[1:00:12] situations, all these little kids that you like hyping up are
[1:00:16] going to see the floodlights and be like, I feel like dropping a
[1:00:18] 5.5 out of 10. K.
[1:00:20] So, so doing it against Real Madrid is whatever, but.
[1:00:23] Still going to say it bro. Pull up to the Champions.
[1:00:25] League and you're getting pumped.
[1:00:28] Master class Aston. Villa.
[1:00:30] Smoked Valverde, Camadenga and the other guy.
[1:00:33] Game tomorrow, Aston Villa, Barsa.
[1:00:35] You are stupid. That that.
[1:00:37] Is. Conversations need to be
[1:00:39] there's. No conversation to be done,
[1:00:41] boss, this is. One of the best.
[1:00:42] Time out. Let's gauge some interest here.
[1:00:46] Barcelona plop them into the Premier League.
[1:00:49] Where do they finish 4th? 5th 4th Okay, I'll recalibrate
[1:00:55] one second. Yeah, I went a bit like crazy
[1:00:58] right there. I'm gonna say 4th.
[1:00:59] Didn't we? Not 5th.
[1:01:00] They'd make Champions League easy.
[1:01:01] Didn't we ask our discord users? Yes, we did.
[1:01:04] Bro Barcelona is competing with Man City for the premier.
[1:01:07] No, they are I. Am 100% sure they are 100%.
[1:01:11] Defensively in the Premier. With their injuries, OK, If they
[1:01:15] had all their players healthy, I'd say OK.
[1:01:18] But you just lost Frankie Deyoung to an ankle injury.
[1:01:20] Spawn Casado next. Boom spawn Casado, now play
[1:01:23] Casado versus any physical fucking team.
[1:01:25] Schiaf. Schiaf.
[1:01:26] That's because Real Madrid is very physical and yet.
[1:01:29] No they aren't. That's not a Premier League
[1:01:31] physicality player. Real Madrid literally win the
[1:01:32] Champions every year. Listen, I'd.
[1:01:34] Like to see Casado against Amadou Nana.
[1:01:36] I really. Like to see that too 'cause he
[1:01:37] would smoke him. 'Cause I think Barcelona, they
[1:01:40] could get top three in the Prem low key.
[1:01:42] I think top 3 is very reasonable.
[1:01:44] No, they don't finish. They don't finish above Arsenal,
[1:01:46] they don't finish above Liverpool.
[1:01:48] They I'm telling. You.
[1:01:49] That's crazy, but I agree. Do you see their team?
[1:01:51] You guys see Lapinia is a top three right winger.
[1:01:54] In the left winger, whatever you, whatever he is in the
[1:01:57] world, you have Lamina MA who is one of the top if not the best
[1:02:00] right winger in the world. Not touching Co Palmer, He's not
[1:02:02] touching Sally, he's not touching Saka.
[1:02:04] Left wing, Left wing right now. Left wing.
[1:02:07] He's not touching Vinicia's junior, like it or not.
[1:02:09] Well, he went bad for band with him.
[1:02:10] What happened there? Bro, he's been going.
[1:02:12] Tell me tomorrow if there's a game that you're taking.
[1:02:15] Vinicia's junior. I'd actually think about it.
[1:02:16] I'm not even going to cop. Bro.
[1:02:18] Layout clear. I don't even like I'll layout
[1:02:20] was. Clear this year.
[1:02:21] Unfortunately, he's not. Brother you can't tell me about.
[1:02:24] Our Rafina. Rafina every day bro I.
[1:02:26] Don't know bro. I don't know bro, we.
[1:02:28] Just made a list a month ago. You didn't even mentioned
[1:02:30] Rafina. A month?
[1:02:31] Yeah, a month. A month ago checking.
[1:02:34] Yeah, every game has shown up for Barcelona.
[1:02:37] This is I'm dropping a master class right now and.
[1:02:39] Levandoski top three striker in the world right now.
[1:02:42] Pedri. Let's talk about Pedri.
[1:02:43] Holland. Let's think about Holland.
[1:02:45] Kane Insanely clear of one. What happened with Levandoski?
[1:02:50] Kane? What happened?
[1:02:52] Got caught for one. Got cooked, sure, but Kane
[1:02:56] scored and Levandoski scored. Barely offside, barely off.
[1:02:59] OK, now we're counting. Barely offside.
[1:03:01] Barely offside. OK.
[1:03:02] You want to talk about Pedrino? I love pedry.
[1:03:05] You're acting like I don't rate these players.
[1:03:06] It's just their fans are dumb. How are they dumb?
[1:03:08] They're they're the best. They're up there as the best
[1:03:11] players in the world. Bro if you they're competing
[1:03:13] with Man City if. If I would have just been in a
[1:03:15] coma up until today's exact date and I didn't and I was in a coma
[1:03:19] since the last Champions League final and you told me, Oh yeah,
[1:03:22] bars is like 6th and they've lost all of their Champions
[1:03:24] League games. I've been like, I look at their
[1:03:25] line up and be like, that's possible.
[1:03:26] It's a little bit surprising, but it's possible.
[1:03:28] This is not a team that I say wow, it makes sense why they're
[1:03:32] doing so well. This is an over performance from
[1:03:34] Flick. No, no.
[1:03:35] No, at the perfect time, the power rankings just happened a
[1:03:41] week after 4 nothing Byron and four nothing Real Madrid.
[1:03:45] They're not going to win every game. 4 Nothing for the rest of
[1:03:47] the. Season next time.
[1:03:48] Next time I'll tell Barcelona. Yeah, I'm gonna need you to hold
[1:03:50] off on that performance. We got a power rankings coming
[1:03:52] up. I'm gonna tell that real quick.
[1:03:54] Yeah, Flick, I'm gonna need you to hold off on that gang and
[1:03:57] press you're doing over there. We got a power wrecking.
[1:04:00] Make it higher. Anything you want bro, no
[1:04:04] problem, just for you. Barbara will make sure they
[1:04:05] don't win 4. Nothing for Real Madrid before.
[1:04:07] So where do we put Barsa? I put Barsa 3.
[1:04:10] We'll get them then, so. I'm sorry, by the way, that 4
[1:04:13] nothing against Real Madrid, that classical was not a four
[1:04:15] nothing. No, that wasn't a.
[1:04:16] Four. It was not.
[1:04:17] Complete domination. What are you talking about?
[1:04:19] Played. Them.
[1:04:20] It was also like 10 times. Yes, imagine that BAPI just
[1:04:23] stepped back to one inch, then it's ending up 4/4.
[1:04:26] OK, but imagine doing that. Changes a lot bro.
[1:04:30] Oh my God, Completely. Trust me A. 17 year old holding
[1:04:33] a highline destroyed and bappe. Do you understand how crazy that
[1:04:36] is? Bro 17 year old braces.
[1:04:38] Let me tell you. Let me let me tell you my phone.
[1:04:40] Boppe, step back to one inch every single time.
[1:04:43] You'll be going bro. 17 year old at the worst.
[1:04:45] Performance of these times Bros using hypothetical.
[1:04:47] Hypotheticals. We don't work like that
[1:04:48] Hypothetical. Hypothetical.
[1:04:50] We're. A lot of things.
[1:04:52] A lot. Of things were an inch bigger,
[1:04:54] brother my the world would be different.
[1:04:56] Morata's whole career would have changed if the brother was
[1:04:58] always an inch clearer. That'd be top three strikers
[1:05:00] ever bro. Exactly.
[1:05:01] If Morata was one, let's. Get the business, though, Let's
[1:05:03] get to the brass. Facts. #4.
[1:05:04] Real Madrid, I'm gonna tell you right now, I got Real Madrid
[1:05:06] there too. Madrid has.
[1:05:07] I got Real Madrid there too. They ain't a joke.
[1:05:10] It ain't a joke, brother. Lost against Lil, lost against
[1:05:13] Barcelona at home. But they have nothing convincing
[1:05:16] last since the last power rankings brother, they have not
[1:05:18] been convincing. Inter has.
[1:05:20] One games Brother 1, but there's not be one column.
[1:05:24] Did you just say Real Madrid 4th?
[1:05:26] Drop. Did I just say that enter is
[1:05:27] better than real? No, I don't know what you're
[1:05:29] talking about. Real Madrid is like 6 points
[1:05:32] behind Barcelona right now. Bro congratulations.
[1:05:34] Congratulations 4 points behind Napoli.
[1:05:37] Who cares about Inter right now? But.
[1:05:38] Why are you bringing? About Real Madrid, the best team
[1:05:41] in the world. I need, you know, I need you the
[1:05:42] best players. In the world.
[1:05:43] Right. You guys want to be part of an
[1:05:44] intro for a podcast channel so bad.
[1:05:46] Listen, you just did it, bro. You just did it because when
[1:05:48] Real Madrid left the Champions League.
[1:05:50] And they lost fine, and they're going to lose the domestic cups.
[1:05:53] Can they're going to win the Champions League?
[1:05:55] Oh, oh, oh, oh, I need you to listen. 4th is amazing. 4th is
[1:05:59] obnoxious. Bro it's penis.
[1:06:01] I started I when we started, when I when we started these
[1:06:04] power rankings, I said I don't envision Real Madrid ever
[1:06:06] dropping out of the top for the rest of the season because we
[1:06:09] had that confidence within Bape there, Vinnie, everyone on that
[1:06:12] squad, yeah, they'll never drop lower than so a Barton.
[1:06:15] Master class and a Jonathan David master class changes
[1:06:18] everything. OK, who's allowing that though?
[1:06:20] Brother, do you realize that Real Madrid got, I don't know if
[1:06:23] you maybe clean your eyes or something, Do something brother,
[1:06:26] because that game, that game volume, that game, brother, I
[1:06:29] pay for that Real Madrid back line got cooked.
[1:06:33] Every single play got cooked. I'm sorry.
[1:06:36] It's not about him being off like.
[1:06:38] Shit in the 1st. Time.
[1:06:38] That's crazy work. It's one of the best managers in
[1:06:41] the world. By the way, for nothing versus
[1:06:43] Real Madrid is you can't ask for a bigger statement.
[1:06:46] Who else can you win for nothing against that tells you, Oh yeah,
[1:06:48] they're serious. Literally nobody.
[1:06:50] Else and it came out the perfect time.
[1:06:52] It came out the perfect time for Barcelona and at the worst time
[1:06:55] for Real Madrid of. Course, because Real Madrid
[1:06:57] right now, unfortunately Champions League weren't doing
[1:06:59] too hot and now all of a sudden it's crisis mode and I.
[1:07:03] I think there is a question to be said, is Mbappe on Fraud
[1:07:06] Watch? The real question, the real
[1:07:08] question to be asked is if you have to go back to the summer,
[1:07:11] would you redo the Mbappe transfer?
[1:07:14] That's a good question because I don't think I would.
[1:07:17] This is a team that won the Champions League last season,
[1:07:20] has had success without Mbappe. You had the hustle problem,
[1:07:24] which we thought was going to be a problem, clearly was not a
[1:07:26] problem. Was in BAPE necessary?
[1:07:28] I don't know. I don't think in BAPE should be
[1:07:30] blamed for everything that Real Madrid has done.
[1:07:32] Okay, you expect him to produce more, but unfortunately right
[1:07:35] now his start is not good. Give him time.
[1:07:38] But you have Battle and Derwin on your team like you have.
[1:07:40] You have one of the best players in every position.
[1:07:42] If you want to improve something just for the sake of
[1:07:44] improvement, get Carvajal as a backup for the future.
[1:07:47] Get an Alfonso Davies or a trend like Get that lined up.
[1:07:50] That team would have been a lot better if it was Holland instead
[1:07:54] of Mbappe. I'm just saying it.
[1:07:55] Well, you're putting a. Striker in the right.
[1:07:56] Also couldn't real, couldn't have gotten Holland.
[1:07:59] I think real can get whoever they want to be honest not.
[1:08:02] Versus city. I think we have to agree that
[1:08:04] Mbappe is a left winger. We have to stop playing a
[1:08:06] striker because the guy is not a pure striker.
[1:08:08] SO2 striker formation. So right away he's already
[1:08:11] conflicting with Venetius, who's also a left winger.
[1:08:14] Brother, play him in the right position.
[1:08:16] What are we doing here? But you play in the right
[1:08:17] position, all of a sudden you have a balloon door winner not
[1:08:20] getting what minutes because he's on the bench.
[1:08:22] I don't think that's able. To no players bigger than real,
[1:08:25] maybe. No players bigger than Real, but
[1:08:26] I think in Bape right now, when you go back six months, you
[1:08:30] would you would say it'd be stupid for Real Madrid to not
[1:08:33] sign in Bape because he's the best player in the world.
[1:08:36] You can't fault Real Madrid for doing what every single fan
[1:08:39] asked them to do. This is a this is either a
[1:08:42] coaching issue or a player issue.
[1:08:43] Unfortunately, in Bape is going to need to step up.
[1:08:45] This is Real Madrid. Convincing you, Millie?
[1:08:47] One thing that really scares me is that you think that if a man,
[1:08:52] if there was one manager to figure this team.
[1:08:54] Yeah, it. Would be Ancelotti and he hasn't
[1:08:55] figured. That's that's what's scary is
[1:08:57] because this this brother, like you can give him 8 left wingers
[1:09:00] last season, I swear I would have thought he would have just
[1:09:02] thrown them in and they would have worked.
[1:09:03] Yeah. But now it's looking like he
[1:09:05] has. He doesn't know how to fit all.
[1:09:06] Of them, Ancelotti is world class, like man managing these
[1:09:08] players, but as we keep watching Real Madrid, he's relying a lot
[1:09:13] on those performances from these superstars.
[1:09:15] This, this might be crazy, but I think the biggest mistake from
[1:09:19] Real Madrid was letting Tony Cruz retire.
[1:09:21] I think they're. Letting him retire what he's
[1:09:23] gonna sweatshop. No, but I I'm brother, you're
[1:09:26] Real Madrid, and he's coming off one of the best seasons of his
[1:09:28] life. You're telling, you're telling
[1:09:30] me Real Madrid don't need a Tony Cruz right now?
[1:09:31] You. Shouldn't have let him die bro,
[1:09:33] we needed him. OK, you guys aren't getting what
[1:09:34] I'm saying. No, I get like no.
[1:09:36] You can't no what you should have.
[1:09:37] Said Tony Cruz. What you should have said is
[1:09:39] they should have replaced Tony Cruz out.
[1:09:41] You can't replace. Tony Cruz, bro, they have.
[1:09:43] They have. Too many you if you go all out
[1:09:46] for Rodri. If you were going to.
[1:09:50] Spend a lot of money on one player, it's not Mbappe.
[1:09:53] Why would Manchester City, that doesn't need money, sell a their
[1:09:57] best player versus someone versus a team that they may face
[1:10:00] in a Champions League final? Let's say, let's say Mbappe's
[1:10:02] total package was what you think like 300,000,400 million.
[1:10:05] Don't answer my question, just go back to hypothetical
[1:10:07] situation. Bro you're you're just going to
[1:10:09] give another hypothetical? Man City will never sell a
[1:10:11] player to their direct rivals. If how much you say the MBA
[1:10:15] package totally was who gives a shit 150 mil but you take with
[1:10:19] signing bonus and everything it was definitely 300 mil with all
[1:10:21] his wages. The opportunity presented, it's
[1:10:23] a. 150 mil. They don't.
[1:10:26] They don't accept that. Why would you reinforce don't
[1:10:28] accept that I. Don't know they would take that.
[1:10:30] I think so. Pro, that's the stupidest thing
[1:10:32] you ever said? 50.
[1:10:33] Mil, you said a lot of stupid things today, and that's the
[1:10:35] stupidest thing you said today, bro. 150 mil I think they take
[1:10:38] it from it's. Man City, you're just you're
[1:10:40] offering your your most important player, if not second
[1:10:43] to your rivals, what you're gonna lose to in the Champions
[1:10:45] League final. I think Real Madrid's problem
[1:10:47] come in the back line. They have no good defenders.
[1:10:49] Like, no, they're aging. They're aging.
[1:10:51] I do think that midfield is a little disjointed.
[1:10:53] You don't have that, that technicality that.
[1:10:55] Many times have. Been good, yeah.
[1:10:59] Too many has not been good, brother.
[1:11:01] I'm sorry. You have to take away these like
[1:11:03] you have too much physicality on this pitch, not enough
[1:11:05] technicality. You need players that are able
[1:11:08] to pinpoint. Practically too many.
[1:11:09] Many ain't that guy. Isn't technical for for friends.
[1:11:12] He's a very technical. Player.
[1:11:13] That's not what Real Madrid need right now.
[1:11:14] You're replacing a. Cruise with its technical
[1:11:16] ability with a Chua many like that's a two different dogs.
[1:11:19] Two different dogs in my opinion.
[1:11:20] Should have gone for channel. That doesn't.
[1:11:22] That doesn't move the need, no? Low key, no low key.
[1:11:26] Why is he getting spoken about? Right now low key giving.
[1:11:29] This guy your time. Yeah.
[1:11:31] Stop. OK bro, I know who's your OK 4th
[1:11:35] you said Real Madrid, I said Real Madrid I said.
[1:11:37] Barcelona. Barcelona.
[1:11:38] You're gonna eat your words, you said.
[1:11:39] Barcelona. That's not eating, but I think
[1:11:41] in this current. Moment.
[1:11:42] Liverpool OK, you guys can eat your words.
[1:11:44] In this current moment, Real Madrid are 4th.
[1:11:46] I don't. I'm not surprised If Real Madrid
[1:11:47] are in a semi final brother, I'll put them one.
[1:11:49] I'm sure at the end of the season problem they're going
[1:11:51] head to There ain't no La Liga for Champions League, but right
[1:11:54] now they're 4th. Don't hop off the train now and
[1:11:56] then back on when we're back at the top of the game.
[1:11:59] Brother, same goes with Barcelona.
[1:12:00] Be top need writer. Same goes with Barcelona.
[1:12:03] How are rankings for a reason, hermano?
[1:12:05] People go up, people go on. That side bro.
[1:12:07] Yeah, you stay on that side. You stay on that side of Old
[1:12:09] Trafford, bro. Keep losing.
[1:12:11] At 3:00, I said it before I got Barcelona.
[1:12:13] I got a little excited before, but I said Barcelona.
[1:12:15] I listen, I, I still, I still going to shit on them.
[1:12:17] Three I got recent. #3 I got Barsa.
[1:12:19] OK, so around there I got Liverpool at.
[1:12:22] Too high. Too high.
[1:12:23] Too high. Too high.
[1:12:24] That is not you look at me for. You have Barsa higher than
[1:12:27] Liverpool. That is not.
[1:12:29] You did the math. You did the math and I could
[1:12:33] explain because they played. I got Barsa.
[1:12:36] Barsa too. Our list is too similar.
[1:12:38] Listen, they play Bayern and Real Madrid.
[1:12:40] I'm going to keep emphasizing those big teams.
[1:12:42] They beat them convincing convincingly and with little
[1:12:45] kids bro. You can't deny that.
[1:12:46] Bro, you can't deny that these are two.
[1:12:47] Logs that are in our top three sometimes in our pirates, yeah.
[1:12:50] 8 to one gold differential or something crazy like that.
[1:12:52] Have we seen a Barcelona like this in the past 10 years?
[1:12:55] No. Well, no.
[1:12:57] Like after MSN I see. Postmaster, I'm saying.
[1:12:59] Chavi's title winning season. Not this good.
[1:13:01] They will be the first one to say they were dominating.
[1:13:04] Not this good. They were dominant.
[1:13:06] You don't. Remember, do you understand how
[1:13:08] dominant they are right now? Sure, but I would honestly say
[1:13:12] no. But Chavi's title winning
[1:13:14] season, I'm pretty sure they got like almost a record amount of
[1:13:16] points. And then you look at the.
[1:13:17] PSG game, the defense was one of the greatest defenses in the
[1:13:20] history of the sport and then you go in CL, they choked, so I
[1:13:23] really have to wait. What do you say?
[1:13:26] In chavi CL they they they choked one of.
[1:13:28] The best defensive teams of all time?
[1:13:29] They were. One of the best defensive teams
[1:13:31] of all time. I don't know about that.
[1:13:32] Bro go check up the stats. I mean I'm not lying, they
[1:13:34] allowed like 4 goals the whole year or something.
[1:13:36] Like that. It could be.
[1:13:37] It could be. I'm not sure I'm.
[1:13:38] I'm bro, I watch football. I know they're not the one that
[1:13:40] OK. Sure.
[1:13:40] Themes of all time. The goals against that seems to
[1:13:43] disagree with you, but I I agree.
[1:13:45] Arsenal I conceded like 15 goals last season.
[1:13:47] Assumption. OK, we're just spreading
[1:13:49] misinformation. It was actually funny.
[1:13:51] There was one YouTube comment on our YouTube video this week.
[1:13:53] Yeah, that was good. That said, all the
[1:13:55] misinformation said in this thing 1 by 1 and it was super
[1:14:00] long bullet. Points bullet points correct
[1:14:02] gave the IT. Was like community noted on X
[1:14:04] that was good. Like Odegard had the highest
[1:14:06] seat, the one of the highest goal scoring seasons wrong.
[1:14:09] That was in 2223. I wish this year Odegard only
[1:14:12] scored eleven goals. I wish somebody could do it for.
[1:14:15] The podcast, that'd be so funny. Conceded 20 goals and Arsenal
[1:14:19] conceded I'm pretty sure 29 in there in last just last season.
[1:14:21] That's nine more goals. Big whoop bro, that is a.
[1:14:24] Huge whoop. That's a 33% increase, but.
[1:14:27] We won the league, we didn't win the league and that's.
[1:14:28] And let's not forget it's with a 17 year old, like a guy who
[1:14:31] understands a highlight. Using as a regular 17 year old
[1:14:35] one of the best 17 year old we've ever watched in the sports
[1:14:38] history, I agree. Yes, no, but I'm talking about
[1:14:39] Kubarsi right now, not letting me.
[1:14:41] Still one of the better 17 year old senator backs you've
[1:14:43] probably ever. Seen world class like the fact
[1:14:45] that flick came to the bed in a bed with a highline.
[1:14:49] Like I I personally hate highlines cause bro you put in
[1:14:52] in Bape he gets a couple of chances he's through.
[1:14:55] The guy was defend, the guy defended in Bape.
[1:14:57] On a different day you're going out and when they if they were
[1:15:00] say. I'll be waiting for that A.
[1:15:02] Little things change differently, and it's going to
[1:15:04] end up being free. I'm going to.
[1:15:06] Cease the cease the work anymore.
[1:15:08] Hypothetical. On another day, I've never heard
[1:15:10] that one on another. Day or give me the strength Or
[1:15:14] give me the strength. So you remove them.
[1:15:16] So you remove Holland? So you play that game another
[1:15:18] day. Let's have a conversation.
[1:15:20] So you remove Holland from Man City.
[1:15:21] So who do you have at 3:00? Barsa.
[1:15:23] Barsa. Yeah, Barsa.
[1:15:25] So I said. Liverpool.
[1:15:26] OK, at #2 I have Liverpool. To me, I can't justify putting
[1:15:30] Liverpool on top of. Barcelona I have Liverpool
[1:15:31] second. You guys are correct, A.
[1:15:33] Game tomorrow, Champions League. I still feel more confident.
[1:15:36] Real, real. Two games versus Liverpool.
[1:15:38] They play literally tomorrow. Tomorrow.
[1:15:40] Smoking out of the. Water not I'm real.
[1:15:42] Liverpool, yes, no, Liverpool I would say right now have the
[1:15:44] edge. I don't think so.
[1:15:46] What? Do you mean you don't think so?
[1:15:48] I brother, we've seen that on spectrum with Real Madrid.
[1:15:51] We've seen them against the Lil Stank, we see them against Barsa
[1:15:55] Stank. The issue with Barsa and CL that
[1:15:58] my main issue is let's say 2 legs they play that highline it
[1:16:01] might go bad one day but when it goes it goes really bad.
[1:16:05] I agree. So NSCL you might screw up one
[1:16:09] leg so bad that it you can't even recuperate.
[1:16:12] But I think Flick is like he knows when to change that.
[1:16:15] I think he's a very you. Said that, but then at Germany
[1:16:17] it didn't work out. Yeah, but that was.
[1:16:19] Germany did not work out, but then by.
[1:16:21] National team isn't as strong. Domestically, it's worked out
[1:16:23] for Flick, Yeah. We can't, yeah.
[1:16:25] But you can't. Also, you can't completely
[1:16:27] disregard his Germany stint because oh, I just choose not to
[1:16:31] look at it. Yeah, but.
[1:16:32] It was largely unsuccessful. Germany.
[1:16:34] At what point do you do you stop holding it against him?
[1:16:37] But right now what he's doing with Barcelona, I agree.
[1:16:39] I had. To put the top five managers,
[1:16:41] he's definitely in the top five managers as of right now, but
[1:16:44] when it wrong, but it goes really bad.
[1:16:45] Click has only managed Bayern for two seasons.
[1:16:48] The national team and that's that's his whole management
[1:16:50] career. So he had one stint that went
[1:16:52] insanely well, one stint that went pretty bad, and now he
[1:16:56] looks like he's doing really well.
[1:16:57] But you can see in CLI. You can very well say that.
[1:16:59] Monaco is just not Monaco in CL, but people just don't seek the
[1:17:03] people just forget about that for some reason.
[1:17:05] But I think that is. Again red.
[1:17:06] Cards count. I took that into account and
[1:17:09] past yeah, power rankings, but there's a reason.
[1:17:11] They they it is taken into account, but the the effect
[1:17:16] still lingers into this. One.
[1:17:18] But I don't. I don't.
[1:17:19] Think the after you win 40I don't think. 40 is buying a four
[1:17:22] one versus Real Madrid. I don't think those effects are
[1:17:25] lingering. But I don't know.
[1:17:25] I disagree personally. OK.
[1:17:28] Who? Who are they playing in
[1:17:29] Champions League next? Barcelona.
[1:17:31] I think they have easy games. Like this could be a team that
[1:17:34] could go far red. Star Belgrade, Oh my God.
[1:17:36] So playing Espanol and A Liga, then we also see that Celta Vigo
[1:17:39] and Breast. I don't see anybody.
[1:17:41] Throw their next test is like. Dortmund, but you know.
[1:17:44] Athletico Madrid in December. But you know what, The thing is
[1:17:47] that let's say they win all those games, like depending on
[1:17:51] how Liverpool and Man City, well, anyone do in that
[1:17:53] situation, like it might be tough to justify putting Barsa
[1:17:58] in that top 2. Oh, I think it's coming one if
[1:18:00] you guys are putting them up there now.
[1:18:02] But their next stretch of the next stretch of.
[1:18:04] Games they're not going to, they're not going to lose.
[1:18:06] Yeah, I understand. But The thing is that we look at
[1:18:08] the competition once again and I'm going to say, OK, well,
[1:18:11] depending in the fashion that they win, obviously if they end
[1:18:13] up winning each Game 2 nothing, 314, nothing, whatever, then I
[1:18:17] could justify. Putting, that's what they do.
[1:18:18] But let's say they come in and it's like, I don't know.
[1:18:21] I don't know. I think three.
[1:18:22] I think 3 right now is is very safe.
[1:18:25] I just you just fucked your logic for Inter.
[1:18:27] No, because you are, you are about to say if they are winning
[1:18:30] by one goal, if they're winning by league.
[1:18:31] No, I want to win, I want to win.
[1:18:33] But I'm saying in the top three when you have Manchester City's,
[1:18:36] the Liverpool's, the Real Madrid's, like you're taking up
[1:18:39] to a higher standard Inter. I'm not putting them against a a
[1:18:42] city of Liverpool, Real Madrid right now.
[1:18:44] That's why they're at the bottom of the table, but they still
[1:18:46] win. But regardless, I think
[1:18:48] Barcelona, if they win all those games and let's say Liverpool
[1:18:50] and City falter, I could see Barcelona being in that top 2.
[1:18:54] Or one. I think they're here to stay for
[1:18:55] a minute. Yep, just because.
[1:18:56] Just because their calendar. They could definitely stay here.
[1:18:59] Well I mean it's not like they're going to play tough
[1:19:00] games in La Liga other than Real Madrid.
[1:19:02] They just played Real Madrid so who else?
[1:19:03] Atletico Madrid diamond tester shit fake.
[1:19:06] So in a this season, La Liga is just looking like a Real Madrid
[1:19:10] Barcelona show to be honest. Once again, nothing new bro.
[1:19:13] The best teams dominate the league.
[1:19:15] OK, exactly. And then so at two, I got real.
[1:19:18] You guys are gonna say, I don't know what you're gonna say
[1:19:19] honestly, but to put them at 4 seems very reactionary.
[1:19:23] But it is a power ranking and we have different definitions of
[1:19:25] power rankings, but the rest is all just cycling the same teams.
[1:19:29] There's no, nobody has a new team in here.
[1:19:31] Yeah. No, no.
[1:19:32] Well, no, I know the bottom and we.
[1:19:33] All did Aston Villa, all new teams, Yeah.
[1:19:36] Chelsea's a new team. Well, listen for me.
[1:19:37] Athletico dropped. UVA dropped.
[1:19:40] Everyone else kind of just shifted.
[1:19:42] Well, we do have to say our number one is Man City.
[1:19:44] Yeah, yeah. So #1 is definitely Manchester
[1:19:46] City right now. Even though they looked a bit
[1:19:48] more fragile than we're used to for Manchester City.
[1:19:50] It's just the standards are so high that like if we if they
[1:19:54] dropped the Barcelona month, we wouldn't even be speaking about
[1:19:56] it probably. It would probably be like Man
[1:19:57] City had a regular month. Yeah, they didn't look
[1:20:00] vulnerable against Southampton like there was.
[1:20:02] One Wolves game. There was 1 Archer chance the
[1:20:04] wolves game. True, but.
[1:20:07] But in Champions League they're they're dominating.
[1:20:09] Except that Inter game. Sparta product, but that was so
[1:20:11] long ago. I would say that this is like
[1:20:14] this is like a bad city form, like this is the worst you get.
[1:20:17] Out of fan is imagine every season they start to, you know,
[1:20:19] like this and we're like come on man, this year Man City ain't as
[1:20:23] good as last year and actually you know what January comes to
[1:20:25] 38 games on beat but. What's funny is that I believe
[1:20:27] they are undefeated. Yeah, and yet this is a bad
[1:20:30] form. Like when you got a Premier
[1:20:32] League player literally last season's player of the season
[1:20:34] and you're not even utilizing him to its Max potential.
[1:20:37] You know when those wheels start turning?
[1:20:39] Bro, the league is cooked. The league is cooked KDB injured
[1:20:42] like this is. This is a nerfed and a bad for
[1:20:45] Manchester City. Audreal too.
[1:20:47] Yeah, The thing is, Rodri isn't coming back.
[1:20:49] Rodri isn't coming back. So that that has to be taken
[1:20:51] into a huge mess. I don't know, I'm scared of city
[1:20:54] and I don't like it's going to be tough to be thrown there in.
[1:20:57] The front like it's like they're running on like 70% right now or
[1:20:59] 75%, you know, once they hit that 859095 it's call.
[1:21:04] It and the worst things for Arsenal and Liverpool is to drop
[1:21:07] points early in the season because those are points you're
[1:21:09] never going to. Get back.
[1:21:10] Those are points. Those are that because that's
[1:21:12] not the time where, you know, city may drop.
[1:21:13] Yeah, exactly. Right now, they're really not
[1:21:15] dropping the time. Where Arsenal and Liverpool need
[1:21:17] to create that gap where if you slip up once or twice later in
[1:21:20] the season, it won't. It's already over.
[1:21:22] Like it's already over the gap. Like to to create a gap.
[1:21:24] Booming Manchester City keep their.
[1:21:26] Form because I think Arsenal is how many points you think behind
[1:21:29] 3/4? I think, I think they're on
[1:21:31] board. Liverpool and Man City are on 22
[1:21:33] or 23 and Arsenal are definitely on 18.
[1:21:34] Both to get back that gap plus create a gap ahead.
[1:21:37] And with their injuries. It ain't happening.
[1:21:39] It ain't happening. Like low key, it's not crazy to
[1:21:41] say the Arsenal are like five points off.
[1:21:43] I'm not saying they're out of the title race, but it's looking
[1:21:45] like a. No race, can't say that.
[1:21:47] Already it's five points off though versus City.
[1:21:49] Both. To get to make 5 injuries, you
[1:21:51] need to beat City. You need to beat.
[1:21:53] Yeah, that's a six point has a mental aspect like you, you
[1:21:55] start losing a little bit of that mentality you had at the
[1:21:58] beginning maybe. That Johnstone's goal, when we
[1:22:00] look back at the end of the club, it might be worth a lot
[1:22:02] more. I think they knew it too.
[1:22:05] Yeah, they knew it. Both Johnstone's goal, even the
[1:22:07] one against Wolves. Yeah.
[1:22:08] Yeah, I thought you were talking about that.
[1:22:10] One. No, no, the one.
[1:22:11] The one against Arsenal. The one against Arsenal inside
[1:22:13] the game. Oh, yes, yes, at the end.
[1:22:14] Right again. Yeah, 10 that Arsenal, yeah.
[1:22:16] Well, that could have been very huge.
[1:22:18] That could have changed a lot. A lot.
[1:22:19] That would have been what A? That's a six point swing cuz you
[1:22:22] would have been up three. No 3A6 cuz you would have been
[1:22:26] up three city down 3. Now you're well, yeah, 1.5
[1:22:29] points. It's not like it switched 4
[1:22:31] point swing. OK.
[1:22:33] I I don't know the math, you guys let us know.
[1:22:35] The math. The math ain't math.
[1:22:36] But yeah, you got to beat City. Yeah, I have.
[1:22:39] No choice. But yeah, unfortunately there's,
[1:22:41] I don't think there's a team on this list, let's say, that would
[1:22:43] outright beat City. Maybe Liverpool might put up a
[1:22:46] fight. Arsenal have shown to put up a
[1:22:48] fight but a lot of other teams I don't know.
[1:22:51] I think top three is interchanging.
[1:22:52] Arsenal have always been above and then bottled but now I think
[1:22:56] this is where they work better is when they're is when they
[1:22:58] don't have that pressure you. Don't want you don't want the
[1:23:00] pressure I guess, but. Stay close.
[1:23:01] Five points is too far. Stay close 5.
[1:23:03] Points is too far. Stay close, but right behind.
[1:23:04] Liverpool is close, but you know.
[1:23:06] Now they're feeling the pressure, most likely, which
[1:23:09] pretty. Crazy.
[1:23:10] This is a long. I don't know was it.
[1:23:11] Long No, I don't think so because we didn't really have an
[1:23:13] intro so. True.
[1:23:15] We didn't talk about F1. You're.
[1:23:17] Gonna slap it at the end. I don't know.
[1:23:18] We don't talk about F1, Carlito El Matador.
[1:23:21] Yeah, but Carlos Sainz, who cares now?
[1:23:23] It's still Ferrari bro. I would.
[1:23:25] Be more looking at Lewis Hamilton's position more than
[1:23:28] Carlos Sainz now bro. I just need Ferrari to lift up
[1:23:30] contractors for the. You don't.
[1:23:31] You don't understand how much it means.
[1:23:32] Bro constructors is like this. The soap at Copa No.
[1:23:36] OK, Barbara. You actually don't get it.
[1:23:37] Barbara, I was gonna say, I was gonna say I would say stick to
[1:23:40] soccer, but don't even stick to soccer.
[1:23:42] That's crazy. Just send them off.
