[0:31] Bangula starts our next game tomorrow.
[0:41] Would you rather saliva and Buffett?
[0:42] Right. Saliva.
[0:48] Right now. Welcome back everyone.
[0:55] And first of all, I want to start by apologizing for the
[0:58] long intro. I know you guys probably didn't
[1:00] see it. Because, well, for them it was
[1:01] 20 seconds. For you guys, it's 20 seconds,
[1:03] but I don't know what's happening this morning.
[1:06] I can't speak. And so the intro was very long.
[1:08] It took us about 10 minutes. I don't know it's it usually it
[1:11] it comes out very fast, but I I don't know the weather and I was
[1:15] a monster pause. This is not this is not the day.
[1:18] This is not the day I. Don't think it's the weather
[1:20] bro. Oh.
[1:21] My God, I don't know if I mean we're.
[1:22] Getting 9 days in a row of rain. So it's not the.
[1:25] We get it from London weather. Yeah, but I apologize.
[1:28] I did tell you to shut up because you were raging.
[1:31] You're raging me while doing the intro.
[1:33] But it's it's not your fault. I I was stuttering a lot.
[1:36] I. Don't think he meant to.
[1:37] I made you. I misused the words of firms.
[1:41] What did you say? Because I said let's see how
[1:44] this goes. And you know that's not English.
[1:46] I didn't I, but I didn't mean it like that.
[1:48] I meant like people don't say that when at that part of the
[1:54] sentence like. Crazy like you're below human
[2:00] like regular people. Regular people don't say that.
[2:04] No, but it might. It might be like it might be
[2:07] said like that way in in Italian like explain it.
[2:13] Bro. Explaining bro like like.
[2:17] Like what it is is that that phrase is English.
[2:20] It's just, it's just not Yeah, it wasn't the right phrase to
[2:23] yes, it was more like it could have been used for something
[2:27] else. It could have been another
[2:28] phrase set, but. It also doesn't sound right in
[2:30] like an intro context. Yeah, See how that goes?
[2:32] You know what I mean? Exactly, in intro context it
[2:34] wasn't yeah like the most optimal.
[2:36] Yeah. So anyway, we got through it.
[2:39] Yeah, we got through it. We are here now, but yeah,
[2:42] honestly it's it's been a pretty busy week for us.
[2:44] More more like back end stuff, trying to get some stuff ready.
[2:47] Like we have a bunch of live streams happening, so.
[2:49] And and that's probably the reason, well, it's part of the
[2:52] reason why we're releasing this a little bit later.
[2:54] I know we missed our 10 AM mark both weeks, but yeah, we have
[2:58] we. Have stay with me I had I had my
[3:00] sister's engagement party so. Congratulations.
[3:02] Thank you. It's not really congratulations.
[3:04] I just show up to the event, you know, like I just I know I'm I'm
[3:07] the the the brother of the bride, but I just show up.
[3:11] They just tell me the big. Sponsor you get special.
[3:13] Treatment, yeah, yeah, it's, it is because you have to say hi to
[3:17] everyone, of course. So it's like a big job.
[3:19] Like it's like, bro, I think yeah, bro, no, at the end, bro,
[3:23] you're kind of like, I do not want to say hi to fucking
[3:26] anyone. Your social battery goes down.
[3:28] The drain, yes, but yeah, it was it was a lot of fun and that's
[3:32] why on Sunday I was unavailable and it was unless you guys Yeah,
[3:37] it was very it was a lot of fun. Very good.
[3:38] Yeah, very good. But as long as yeah, that's why
[3:42] Sunday I was out of Commission and that's why if you guys
[3:45] wanted to affirms a Millie Pot exclusive, then you guys.
[3:48] We could have done a lot of yeah.
[3:49] I've been there. And Palo, Palo still in Italy,
[3:52] but he gets back tomorrow. I.
[3:53] Believe he does. Yeah, we'll see.
[3:54] So it should be regular scheduled programming.
[3:56] He was actually at the F1. There was a one this weekend.
[3:58] Yeah, there was Italian. Grand Prix Wait, wait, let me
[4:01] let me try and guess how, because I have no clue how this
[4:03] race went so let me try and guess.
[4:05] OK McLaren. Well, I'll, I'll give the
[4:09] Piastre one do. You want to make any other
[4:12] predictions or is that a Ferrari piastre?
[4:14] One and Ferrari like somewhere between 6th and 10th and for
[4:19] stop in second. Yeah, that's my guess.
[4:21] All right. For stop in one.
[4:22] For stop in one, stop in one. Emola Yeah.
[4:25] Why are we? What I love Verstappen I I think
[4:28] I. I I hated it.
[4:29] No. Ever.
[4:31] I love. No, but it's like, it's like,
[4:33] it's like the NBAI love LeBron. OK, so I will.
[4:37] I will always cheer for LeBron. I like a different team.
[4:41] I like the Raptors, which LeBron destroyed us for like an entire
[4:44] decade. Yeah, but LeBron is so likable
[4:47] to me that I I love LeBron. I'd love to see him win.
[4:50] I don't like Red Bull. I like Verstappen.
[4:53] I don't know. He's a robot, This guy, this
[4:55] guy. Is he that likeable?
[4:56] This guy, Yeah. He's a monster guy.
[4:59] He's a monster bro. This guy's the ghost of F1 in my
[5:01] opinion. Already the goat.
[5:04] That's a heart take. Bro Lewis Hamilton, bro, I don't
[5:07] give a fuck. I don't give a fuck that that
[5:09] was shady business on that that Abu Dhabi.
[5:11] Thinking about a seven time world champ right there brother,
[5:14] but yeah. Yeah, seven time world champ.
[5:15] Where do you finish seven? He finished.
[5:19] The fact that. 6th and we're declared 4.
[5:22] Or it was the other way around, I don't remember exactly.
[5:24] Yeah, but Ferrari finished four and 6th and Hamilton was
[5:28] unfortunately on like negatively affected by like safety car
[5:32] stuff. All the rules and.
[5:33] Whatever, he always has excuses bro.
[5:35] No, they're. Stopping.
[5:36] No excuses bro, just wins. It was safety car.
[5:39] It's usually, yeah, a good excuse.
[5:40] No, no. Like usually safety car like in
[5:43] certain instances definitely helps your race, but in
[5:47] Hamilton's case it it didn't really help.
[5:49] Him have they done anything to change that?
[5:51] Because I find no when safety cars come in like either
[5:54] somebody just gets a such a clear lead then.
[5:57] But what happens is that the guy that gets a clear lead, if it's
[5:59] a really long safety car, it makes everyone catch up to him.
[6:02] So it's like it doesn't really help his case.
[6:05] And then it's like, on the other hand, like Hamilton was catching
[6:08] up to the Mclarens and then with the safety car, it kind of like
[6:12] slowed the pace down and everything.
[6:13] He lost, he lost time. So where did Piastry finish
[6:17] second? Norris third.
[6:19] So Piastry third, Norris second. Producer T reveal coming soon.
[6:24] Who is who is fourth? Was it Russell Hamilton?
[6:29] Hamilton was fourth. Leclerc was sixth.
[6:31] OK, that's what it was. Yeah, sorry.
[6:32] Hamilton doing better than Leclerc.
[6:33] That was a race where it was just like I was watching it,
[6:35] very good start and then it was just bro F1F1 really needs.
[6:39] To do a better prodigal child finishing sixth.
[6:42] Pretty, pretty destiny. That's the Claire.
[6:45] Yeah, yeah, that wasn't a great race, but I mean, I saw
[6:49] improvements from the last couple weeks.
[6:50] But on home soil as well. Would have been nice to have a
[6:54] podium. Yeah.
[6:55] And Emolla. But there's still Monza.
[6:57] So and what's happening with basketball cuz I've been seeing
[6:59] all these viral videos. Shalomi.
[7:03] But the Knicks? But but more, I was seeing the
[7:05] the Knicks and the Boston fans going at it on the streets of
[7:08] New York or something. Yeah, yeah.
[7:09] Well, the Knicks, the Knicks fans are like, I don't even know
[7:12] if you can find the comparison in in football.
[7:15] Like a more like rabid Arsenal fan TV.
[7:18] I was no, no. No, no, no, no.
[7:19] I'm saying like and like. What's it talk NYC?
[7:23] Yes, but it's you can't even find the no pack of savages like
[7:28] that. Are you talking?
[7:29] About in terms of franchise or people like the.
[7:31] Fans. Oh, OK.
[7:32] Like you can't even find the comparison.
[7:35] Like you can't even find the comparison 'cause they're,
[7:38] they're like they're they're. Literally saying like if the
[7:41] Knicks win, like New York will be off the map.
[7:44] Kind of. New York's already tearing down,
[7:47] and all they did is make the conference finals.
[7:49] They made the third round. God.
[7:50] Started taking out one pole but it was playoffs.
[7:52] No, it is playoff, but it's just like, bro, you didn't even make
[7:54] a final like this is that for some teams, this is how they
[7:57] celebrate when they win the championship.
[7:59] These motherfuckers just made a conference final, but they they
[8:01] look and they didn't win it yet. No, no, but they look really
[8:03] good. But.
[8:04] Timothy Shalom is gaining aura points by the day.
[8:06] Oh bro, this guy, this guy. But how come?
[8:09] How come he's a Knicks fan? Because he grew up in.
[8:11] New York, NY Yeah, people were telling him.
[8:13] People were basically telling him like he's a bandwagon.
[8:15] He's like, I don't. We about to check that.
[8:17] Yeah, about to check that road. And then and there's a, there's
[8:20] a photo of him back like 10 or 15 years ago where the Knicks
[8:23] did a like a. Landry.
[8:25] Field yeah, Landry Fields like try to find where I am.
[8:28] And the winner was Timothy Shalimar when he was like 10 and
[8:31] he got free tickets to the game when he was like a a kid.
[8:33] So this guy, this guy's been an old in there St. that Chen Don.
[8:36] I'm money, Yeah. He's a fan of Saint that Chen.
[8:38] Huge St. that Chen fan. He always he pulls up in Saint
[8:41] Titian merchants. That's where I thought he grew
[8:43] up. No, I guess he's just from
[8:44] there. I think it's his mom or
[8:46] somebody's from there. His dad, Charlemagne, I think
[8:48] he's from there. But honestly, if you had to make
[8:53] like a tier list of lives right now that you would want like he
[8:56] might, he might be up there. Bro.
[9:00] Kylie Jenner and all this aura. Yeah, basically he's a sports
[9:05] icon. This guy is Paula Tradies of
[9:07] Dune. But they were saying he's at
[9:08] least an Al Gaede. Yeah.
[9:10] Two LA girls chat. For the next body is the.
[9:12] Least an Al Gaede. Bro, you had Kendall Jenner to
[9:15] the left, Kylie to the right. Bro it don't get much more
[9:18] stacked than that. Crazy work, you know.
[9:20] That's the life. That's the life in New York,
[9:23] yeah. Yeah, New York courtside.
[9:26] Done, bro. He's gaining that that Leo
[9:28] DiCaprio aura that he when you walk it, when you walk, he'll be
[9:30] there. Like there's not many actors
[9:33] that like when you walk into a room.
[9:34] I would go like, oh shit, fuck yeah.
[9:36] That's him. How old is he?
[9:38] He's our age, probably. No, Yeah, that's. 24 That's what
[9:41] I was would assume. I'm going to look it up, but
[9:44] bro, this guy Don gonna be there's there's really no this
[9:49] this is another thing. There's really not many global
[9:52] like movie stars anymore. Like back in the day, there used
[9:56] to be people you would go to the movie theaters because that
[9:58] actor was in the movie. Now, other than Leo DiCaprio and
[10:05] and Timothy Chalamet really maybe about it, Brad Pitt, maybe
[10:09] Tom Cruise. I don't.
[10:11] I don't really watch Tom Cruise movies.
[10:13] Top Gun. Top Gun Maverick.
[10:14] He was born in 1995, so he's six years older than us actually.
[10:17] OK, so he's pushing 30. He's in his. 30s pushing 30.
[10:20] He's really. Pushing 30, Yeah, but he looks
[10:22] 15. Yeah, he does.
[10:24] We look older than that. That's crazy.
[10:26] No, that's insane. So next next to win the chip
[10:28] though. No.
[10:30] Who says the? I want it, I want it, but it's
[10:32] not gonna happen and. They're playing Boston.
[10:34] Yeah, well, no, they beat. Boston, yeah.
[10:37] But now they're playing Indiana, and then on the other side, it's
[10:40] Minnesota versus Oklahoma City. I'm so out of touch in NBA now.
[10:44] Yeah, I know, but OKC is a very good team.
[10:46] They just beat the Denver Nuggets.
[10:47] So Denver Nuggets got like Yokich and yeah, Jamal Marie so.
[10:51] The fact that they got Jokic, the Nuggets basically had no
[10:54] head coach. Jokic was coaching the team as
[10:57] well as playing. He's got that.
[10:58] Well, they fired their coach before the play.
[11:00] Like right before the play. Why?
[11:01] Because they they weren't doing good.
[11:03] No, they were doing fine. They're the four seed.
[11:04] It's like it's like if you qualified for CL as like 8th
[11:09] place in the CL. And your soccer coach?
[11:11] Yes. I don't know how that could work
[11:14] with you, but. Because you have Nikola Yokich,
[11:16] bro, you should be the best team in the NBA.
[11:18] He's he's literally an era defining player.
[11:20] Yeah, it's like, it's like having like, I'm not going to
[11:23] say LeBron because that's a whole other level, but it's like
[11:25] having like a a Kevin Durant level player, like like that
[11:29] level player in his prime. It looks pretty good.
[11:32] Yeah, it's pretty. This guy's the goat.
[11:34] But besides that, anything else big happened this?
[11:36] What else happened? Hockey.
[11:37] Nothing. Hockey.
[11:38] No. Hockey Leafs choking in game
[11:40] seven. Yeah, but that's.
[11:41] That's anyways, that's like Arsenal lost.
[11:43] Like who cares? We know that that was.
[11:44] Pretty predictable, you know. And then Leafs fans getting
[11:46] gasoline into thinking this team is still good.
[11:49] Basically the Arsenal people are saying that the Cowboys of the
[11:51] NHL. Yeah, very, very Arteta saying
[11:54] we, we will win next year, Phase 10, Yeah.
[11:57] Phase 10, Phase 10, but if you want to go into the the podcast
[12:01] football podcast, go into it while Arteta is in phase 10, you
[12:04] got Glasner lifting trophies. 1.5 Glasner equals phase 10
[12:09] Arteta. Crazy bro.
[12:11] So Crystal Palace lifted the FA Cup against Man City and it
[12:15] looked like it was a pretty good game.
[12:16] I, I, I actually love this Crystal Palace team for some
[12:20] reason. I, I as they bring him to Man
[12:23] United. If you actually go player for
[12:25] player, I did it. They actually might have a
[12:27] better team than us. Oh, my Lord, I'm not even
[12:29] kidding. Because they have they have some
[12:31] good. The foundations are good, yes.
[12:33] And this is years and years and years of of good sight.
[12:36] Imagine Olise was still there. Yeah, like that you're talking
[12:39] about like this team could have probably finished.
[12:41] Like, I'm not even kidding. They could have had a Nottingham
[12:43] Forest season probably if Alise was still there like it could
[12:46] have been. I wonder what happened because
[12:47] this season like they they were more hyped last season I would
[12:50] say. Yeah, but that's because you
[12:51] have Alise, you have bigger names, but this season they're
[12:53] more of a solid team. And Glassner, amazing coach.
[12:57] This guy won Europa League with Frankfurt back in the day and
[13:00] now he's winning trophies with Crystal Palace.
[13:02] This this guy is one of those that deserves an actual like
[13:06] big, big, big job. I if Amarim, let's say, didn't
[13:10] work out, I still think you obviously have to give him the
[13:13] summer and then I, I still think he'll actually be decent.
[13:16] But if Amarim were not to work out and we bought players for
[13:19] A343 or 33421 formation, look at what Glasner's point right now
[13:26] at at at Crystal Palace, I would go and get Glasner.
[13:30] Yeah, he's one of, he's one of those flexible managers that
[13:32] like just look at Adam Wharton for example, you just improve
[13:36] them. Bring to Man United.
[13:37] You know, like there's so many players in that Crystal Palace
[13:40] team that realistically, as an outsider, you say, like, who are
[13:43] these people? But then you start watching the
[13:44] team and they have a very good team, a very good core, Yeah.
[13:48] Bro Eze I I really can't stress this enough.
[13:51] SA is him. SA is good but I feel like he
[13:54] had an underwhelming season. I disagree.
[13:57] He might have, he might I I personally disagree.
[14:00] I think the performances were good.
[14:01] The stats aren't as good as the performance.
[14:03] Yes, but unfortunately you have to base it off of that in the
[14:08] end. Like the performances are good,
[14:09] but if you're the main man and you're not finishing your goals
[14:12] or you're you're not in that final third.
[14:14] But like like Man City right now are linked to Morgan Gibbs white
[14:18] for 70 mil. Like I feel like as a for me, is
[14:21] a better player than Morgan Gibbs.
[14:23] He's younger, no? Morgan Gibbs White is younger.
[14:25] Oh, Morgan. Yeah.
[14:26] But I, I personally like as a, as a player more like I'd rather
[14:31] buy as a for let's say 50 million, the Morgan Gibbs White
[14:33] for 70. I don't know.
[14:36] I think I I like Morgan Gibbs White more.
[14:38] I don't know they're. Very comparable players.
[14:40] I like Morgan Gibbs white also. I think he's a good player.
[14:42] I think he's quicker. I think like he's more physical,
[14:44] let's say, than as a but as a the reason why I love him so
[14:48] much is because he reminds me of a young Jack Greelish as always,
[14:51] yes, like like that that Aston Villa Jack Greelish is what he
[14:56] reminds me of where good luck trying to tackle the brother
[14:59] because you can't get the ball off of him and he actually tries
[15:02] to progress the ball like relentlessly.
[15:06] And he started first half of the year.
[15:08] He was horrendous at this, but goals and assists started coming
[15:11] in the second-half of the year. So it's like bring to Man
[15:14] United. Yeah, realistically he he starts
[15:16] converting a little bit more of those shots.
[15:18] He could be a good piece for a a big team I think.
[15:21] And bro this is once again going to sound like I hate the guy but
[15:26] I say he's better than fucking Odegard.
[15:28] Like I I once again I watched or like this weekend I can go into
[15:32] Arsenal after but bro Odegard you cannot convince me that SA
[15:38] is not a better player than Odegard.
[15:40] Why? Because one won a trophy this
[15:41] year and the other one didn't. It's been.
[15:42] Fucked the trophies has nothing to do with the trophies.
[15:44] Odegard. He doesn't have the the SA has
[15:50] the ability to grab a game and make it his own.
[15:53] Odegard is always just a passenger.
[15:54] Yeah, but I think I think it really depends on the situation
[15:57] too. Like Arsenal is a is a
[16:00] completely different situation compared to a Crystal Palace in
[16:02] my piece exactly. There's much higher expectations
[16:05] that Arsenal it, there's a lot more responsibility that you
[16:08] would hope that Odegard would do well.
[16:10] But I don't know, I don't know. Crystal Palace like insane
[16:13] achievement to win a troph. First trophy first major trophy
[16:16] in your. They played twenty year.
[16:18] Next year, I'm going not. Going to be playing Europa.
[16:20] League I'm going on on record right now.
[16:23] They're winning the Europa League.
[16:24] I think they will win the Europa League next year unless Man City
[16:27] play in it. I will go on record and say
[16:29] right now that I think Crystal Palace are actually, you know,
[16:31] when you're. It's hard to give these
[16:32] predictions when you don't even know who's playing in it.
[16:35] OK, let me rephrase this. They get a good, they get 3-4
[16:38] signings this year to cover their depth because the depth is
[16:41] is a crucial factor. But I think they will do a a
[16:45] serious push in Europa League. I think they'll do better than
[16:49] who's going to play Europa League in La Liga.
[16:51] I think it's Real Betis. I think they're going to be
[16:53] better than Real Betis. I think they're going to be
[16:54] better than the equivalent, I think.
[16:56] Even Real Betis is having a good season.
[16:58] Yeah, you. See, Leipzig actually didn't
[16:59] even make any Europe next. Year, they're selling, they're
[17:02] selling Cesco, they're selling. Ball, I think, I think if they
[17:06] made Europe, they would have only sold one of them.
[17:08] But now you're not making Europe.
[17:09] You're going to have to sell both.
[17:11] But yeah, they're going to they're going to make they're
[17:13] going to do better than all the equivalents of the other
[17:15] leagues. So then you're going to
[17:17] Remember, Remember this when the 12th place in the Premier League
[17:19] ends up winning Europa League, you're going to see.
[17:21] The fact that they even made Europa League is crazy, yeah.
[17:24] Why is it crazy you're you're telling me they're not in Europa
[17:27] League levels? It's more like, yeah, they beat
[17:29] Man City and Man City. You're talking about Eze rising
[17:31] up to the occasion. Man City has Foden, who has been
[17:33] an absolute ghost, yes this entire season.
[17:35] Oh, he's been terrible. But Foden's a better player than
[17:38] Eze. So but then.
[17:39] On ability. On ability is obviously better,
[17:41] we can all agree on that. Odegard on ability is not better
[17:43] than Eze. Really.
[17:44] Yes, I find that you're just rage beating them.
[17:47] I'm not. So hand on hand on the Bible,
[17:50] hand on the Bible, I order guard his ass.
[17:53] That's crazy. That is no rage bait.
[17:56] I don't know. But yeah, Man City, Man City,
[17:58] What a disappointing season because even even the
[18:01] reinforcements you brought in January, who'd they bring?
[18:04] They brought Kusanov, they brought in Niko Gonzalez, they
[18:08] brought in Vito dish, they brought in Marmoush.
[18:10] It looks like they were over for.
[18:12] I'm not even capping. No, maybe Marmoush.
[18:14] Maybe Marmoush. You could say OK, like he could
[18:16] turn into something. But bro, yeah, I'll read out his
[18:19] stats compared to like you bought him.
[18:22] We didn't even mention the wage. They gave him up.
[18:24] I know he got bought for like what?
[18:26] 70 million No. The wages.
[18:28] Wages. Man City wages are are like
[18:30] that. No, you can't just say a player,
[18:33] I'll read you the stats and then you tell me how much you would
[18:36] pay for this brother in wages. OK.
[18:38] That's I mean. I don't know how a Man City.
[18:40] But when it's Man United. Because I think, I think at a
[18:43] certain point you're, you obviously you pay for
[18:46] guarantees. Like if you're paying such a
[18:47] high amount, you're expecting some level of guarantees this.
[18:51] Is more than I thought it was. Weekly salary of 300 KA pounds a
[18:54] week, yeah. But that would.
[18:56] Do for seven goals, one assist in 20 games.
[18:58] OK, it's not a full season, but I mean.
[19:01] But bro you you do pay for guarantees.
[19:04] Yeah for 300 KA week right now £300,000 a week only.
[19:08] Let's say you add 100,000 lbs. OK, you could go get Florida
[19:12] inverts like it would be. You're better off saving the
[19:15] money from this home. Because floor inverts.
[19:17] Just transfer fee would be more you're better saving.
[19:21] Better off not buying. News just came out for Richard,
[19:24] Romano said. They're pulling out of the Verts
[19:25] transfer because it's too expensive.
[19:27] You're better off. This is a Milan situation once
[19:29] again. You bought a player just to buy
[19:32] a player. Yeah, but I think this is that's
[19:35] not close to. Listen, Warts is way better
[19:38] obviously than Marmouche, but Marmouche has done it in like he
[19:42] he has the stats to show that he.
[19:44] Had one good year where he had one good half season where he
[19:47] over performed every single stat that was out there.
[19:50] He had 30 three goals and assists in 26 games for
[19:53] Frankfurt. Now he has eight goals and
[19:54] assists in 20 games for Man City.
[19:56] I I legit don't think you. Bought a player that you were
[19:58] expecting to get, Let's say, let's just say generously.
[20:03] In 20 games, you would have expected fourteen goals and
[20:06] assists, or 15 goals and assists.
[20:08] But he's also. Just joined would have put in
[20:10] like a top five in the in the Premier League top scorers list,
[20:14] no? 14 goals and assists.
[20:17] Oh, goals and. Assists.
[20:19] No, but he just joined. Like, you gotta give him some
[20:22] time, brother. When you're making £300,000 a
[20:25] week, I'm sorry you don't have time.
[20:27] OK, but you don't? I slightly agree.
[20:28] But then when, like, Glasner was saying it against Pep, he knew
[20:32] exactly how he would how he's gonna play.
[20:34] No. Didn't he say something about
[20:35] like, I know, I know their weaknesses and I'm gonna be
[20:39] exploiting them like he he. Predicted.
[20:41] No, he said. He said, 'cause they played a
[20:42] little bit before, yeah. And then he said if Pep shows up
[20:46] in place like that, and yeah, exactly.
[20:48] Final, I'm gonna be able to. I don't.
[20:49] Yeah, I'm gonna be able to beat them basically like it.
[20:51] Just shows that this Man City system is is.
[20:54] Well, let's not act like Man City didn't dominate them.
[20:56] They could. They did dominate them.
[20:58] Yeah, how? And missed the missed chances.
[20:59] They didn't. They didn't capitalize on
[21:01] chance. Man City dominated but but but
[21:03] the weakness Crystal Palace were clinical.
[21:04] Yeah, and it there's a reason why it keeps happening to Man
[21:07] City, where all we dominated, but then we lose.
[21:09] We dominated, but then we lose. Like, it's not, it's not random.
[21:13] I think Man City do need very many reinforcements this summer
[21:17] to go back. Crazy and bro considering.
[21:21] This year no, but this year was a piece was very bad
[21:24] mismanagement by that like. I don't very bad, but at that
[21:27] point it probably was just better to either call it a
[21:30] season unless they valued they they saw a chance of making
[21:34] Champions League because right now they they could still
[21:35] potentially make Champions League.
[21:37] So if they make Champions League, it really lessens that
[21:40] blow. But if they, let's say, miss out
[21:42] on Champions League, then it's one our players going to want to
[21:45] stay at Man City and. You think Roger wants to pull up
[21:49] the Azka man? Yeah, like literally Europa
[21:51] League, like these players are at a higher standard,
[21:53] unfortunately. So I don't know, do they tough
[21:55] it out for a season, then hopefully make Champions League
[21:57] and then go back or like, I don't know, it changes a lot it
[22:00] really. Changes a lot and bro I'm
[22:02] starting to see Man City fans starting to question decisions.
[22:06] I'm starting which is crazy it's a snowball effect.
[22:09] It always starts like 10 hawk at the beginning first year.
[22:12] No one question all these are say Lord and.
[22:13] Compare 10 Hawk to Peck OK. Obviously not, but like like
[22:16] clock towards the end, yeah, you saw a lot of people start
[22:20] turning on like, OK, he's only here because of his legacy here.
[22:23] Man City fans are demanding why the fuck are we going into a cup
[22:26] final with Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyna and who is the other
[22:29] midfielder that started the cup final?
[22:31] It was another attacking midfielder.
[22:32] And then a quote came out after the game saying that if Kovacic
[22:37] was available, we I would have liked are the midfield was
[22:41] Marmosa, Bernardo Silva, De Bruyna.
[22:43] That's not. You, you ain't stopping any.
[22:45] Yeah, counter attacks there so you can't complain about every
[22:48] score. It's been been like that for no
[22:50] years. OK, but no, it's.
[22:52] Not. Except I've always had Rodri
[22:54] Kovacic. He that's Rodri's a big miss.
[22:56] The quote was Kovacic was out injured.
[22:59] If we were missing he literally said we were missing a deep
[23:02] midfielder. If Kovacic was fit he would have
[23:04] played, but bro, you just spent 60 million on Nico Gonzalez.
[23:07] Yeah, you forgot about the brother.
[23:08] What the fuck? It's also do you think Pep is
[23:12] saying these signings are for him like this Nico Gonzalez guy?
[23:15] Like, does Pep even know him? But then once.
[23:17] Again by the board. But then once again, there's
[23:20] obviously a disconnect between PEP and the board.
[23:22] Yeah, that's what's happening. So like like even a Kusanov
[23:26] first, it's not going to be the board.
[23:28] I know, but like a Kusanov joins Man City.
[23:30] He doesn't play speaking games. Doesn't speak English, barely
[23:33] plays now. Yeah.
[23:34] Doesn't play. Yeah, I haven't seen him in in
[23:36] weeks. Yeah.
[23:37] So like, is this just the board buying players that Pep doesn't
[23:41] really know and doesn't really know how to fit in the team?
[23:43] I don't know even even even Echeverri that apparently played
[23:48] good. He played good.
[23:49] But that was his like, first appearance for Man City in like
[23:51] months, so. Where do you come from?
[23:54] River Play He. Came from What's the club that
[23:57] Julian Alvarez came from? River Plate.
[23:59] Yeah. So River Plate.
[24:00] And they got Ballers there, Mastantuono.
[24:03] The. Man, Man United player, by the
[24:05] way, in the future. I think it was from there, yeah.
[24:08] River Plate, they've. They've always been good, but I
[24:09] don't know Manchester. That was actually his first
[24:11] appearance for Man City, actually.
[24:12] Manchester City just have this vibe around them that it just
[24:16] will not last like this, that I feel like there's like a cloud
[24:19] over them right now that people don't have the faith in them
[24:22] like they did 2-3 years ago. Even last year honestly, and
[24:26] their performances in Europe, along with losing out on, on
[24:30] domestic trophies that two or three years ago they would have
[24:32] said whatever, we're still we're, we're still contenders,
[24:35] we're still winning the Premier, we're contenders in Champions
[24:37] League. These domestic cups.
[24:38] Sometimes you would see Pep pulling up with like literally B
[24:41] teams, B&C teams. But you're coming into a game
[24:44] where this is, this could be your only trophy this season.
[24:48] Not saying it'll save your season, but it it kind of cleans
[24:52] up the blemishes a little bit because you could always look
[24:54] back and say, well, I still want a trophy.
[24:55] But now you're officially going trophy list with the risk of not
[24:59] even playing Champions League. This is this to me is the
[25:01] definition of disaster. This is the complete failure
[25:06] with the number of signings that you signed in January that
[25:10] listen, Man City's form coming into this game was, was pretty
[25:13] good. It was decent.
[25:15] They were staying, staying afloat in that fourth position.
[25:18] But I I don't know people will be questioning if Pep should be
[25:22] the guy. And they don't have they don't
[25:23] have an easy next two games. They have Fulham and they have,
[25:27] I forget this last. Let me check that's.
[25:28] The problem they have to still play at 100% for.
[25:30] Bournemouth and Fulham, which is not.
[25:32] Easy not not easy, but. Are there such things as easy
[25:36] games in the Prem? I knew you would say that I was
[25:38] waiting for it. I was waiting for it.
[25:40] Too easy bro, Too easy. Yeah, they are two good teams
[25:43] though. I don't know.
[25:45] I don't know what's gonna happen with Man City.
[25:46] I don't think sacking Pep is the move.
[25:48] I just think he needs to be, let's say, backed in other ways,
[25:52] not with these unproven players, but they're in a rebuild season.
[25:56] So I think next year will be really the the decider of what's
[26:00] going on with man. City you're also you're also
[26:01] losing key, key leaders to like the Bruiners.
[26:04] That's why he's a leader that's been there 10 years.
[26:06] Yeah, he's been there through. Hard to replace these people.
[26:09] Very, very. I was reading a lot of people
[26:12] are having a discourse that the the conventional cause 10 years
[26:17] ago it was always the big six would always finish top 6.
[26:20] But now you're seeing the big six aren't as dominance anymore
[26:24] as they used to be. But is that because of the
[26:29] quality of the Big Six decreasing, or is it the quality
[26:32] of the rest of the league getting closer to the Big Six or
[26:37] actually at that level? I think it's a bit of both I
[26:39] would say. Like do you think, do you think
[26:42] that the teams now in the Prem are worse than the teams 10
[26:45] years ago compared to world football?
[26:47] No, I don't think so. I I think that it's just the
[26:50] overall quality of the league has gotten so good that the like
[26:54] the big six aren't better than they were 10 years ago.
[26:56] I'm not going to argue that. Yes, but they haven't gotten
[26:59] worse. It's just everyone around them
[27:01] got better in my personal opinion.
[27:02] Yeah. Well, you see that extent?
[27:04] You see that? City and Tottenham are obviously
[27:05] worse. I'm not going to debate.
[27:06] That like I think Chelsea, Chelsea 10 years ago were better
[27:09] title winning, title contending team.
[27:11] Yes, this is not a title contending team you look at.
[27:16] Man United is Man United, whatever, like it.
[27:19] It varies year by year. When you're second, when you're
[27:21] 16th, like it doesn't really matter, then Arsenal.
[27:24] Man City is worse now than they were 10 years ago.
[27:27] Yes, but Man United, if you go back to our lineup 10 years ago,
[27:29] bro. It was a very messy, it was a
[27:31] very stinky team, terrible, very stinky team.
[27:33] Terrible teams, but because the Prem wasn't at the level that
[27:36] it's at today, yeah, we could get a shit season until finished
[27:41] 6th, you know? Yeah, makes sense.
[27:42] Like nowadays a game like Fulham, if you have 456 terrible
[27:48] players and you're starting 11, you're not walking out of there
[27:50] with points like 10 years ago you were so.
[27:53] Yeah, I agree that the the maybe the lower level teams like
[27:57] Bournemouth, Fulham, Brighton, like they all got the Crystal
[27:59] Palace, their teams that improved way more than than the
[28:03] others. But someone like Chelsea, like
[28:06] Man City, we've seen little slip UPS.
[28:09] Even Arsenal, you could argue. No, Arsenal's a lot better than
[28:11] they were 10 years ago. Really.
[28:12] Yeah, they're still not good enough, but they're they're
[28:14] better than they were 10 years ago.
[28:16] Yeah, that's true. Who else Liver, Liverpool, for
[28:19] example, got? Like would you say they got
[28:22] better? Well, ten years, actually.
[28:23] They were winning CL. In 2018 they play Real Madrid in
[28:26] the final though. Yeah, they lost, but yeah, it
[28:29] was they were still, they were still.
[28:31] I don't know. It's hard to say with Liverpool
[28:33] because they did win the league. But it's because they got so
[28:36] good so quick. So like 20/17/2016 Liverpool
[28:40] were not actually not good. So if you go 10 years, yeah,
[28:42] they weren't good, but eight years they were amazing.
[28:44] So yeah, I don't know. I do agree that the overall
[28:47] quality of the league is definitely, yeah, they've been
[28:50] more competitive and it's a lot better.
[28:51] Well, we're gonna be doing our our reacting to our Prem
[28:53] predictions in a like a week or two.
[28:56] Lot of conversations in that video.
[28:59] It's they're atrocious. We all had Man United top 4, by
[29:02] the way. I can't believe this.
[29:03] It's thank God Paula's not here right now 'cause he would be
[29:05] going. I can't believe you guys had
[29:07] it's how easy to predict for us, how easy to predict.
[29:10] But yeah, I mean, technically he was wrong too because he put
[29:13] them 6th or 7th maybe like like so nobody could have envisioned
[29:18] this Man United. It's crazy because even like
[29:21] looking at next year, you can't predict who's going to win the
[29:24] league and you also can't predict who's going to like for
[29:27] certain, make CL. Like maybe you can say like as
[29:30] of right now, you can probably say all Arsenal's probably going
[29:33] to make Seattle and Liverpool's probably going to make Seattle,
[29:35] but all the other spots are all up for the bait.
[29:38] Literally. And you're probably going to say
[29:40] all the three teams that come up are going to get relegated
[29:42] again. So then you, you, you have those
[29:44] three, but from like 16 to or 17 to let's say 3, it's like
[29:54] there's maybe, maybe you're gonna have 5.
[29:56] Let's see, five. I don't know, bro. 3 Who are you
[29:59] gonna have? 3?
[29:59] Like I'd assume Man City gets better next year.
[30:01] Yeah, but that's an. Chelsea we need.
[30:03] To see what Chelsea they do for summer, we need to see what they
[30:06] do. No, you see, I disagree.
[30:08] Like I don't think bro, Chelsea fans are complaining to me all
[30:11] the time about Enzo Maresca. They're not happy with the man.
[30:13] Yeah, but their squad is good. Yeah, that's why.
[30:16] That's that's The Who are they gonna buy this summer?
[30:18] Another fucking 18 year old that's not ready to play in the
[30:20] Prem. I mean, I think right now it
[30:23] could be a manager issue, but it could also be a player issue.
[30:26] It's it's hard to say in my. Opinion.
[30:27] And who's to say that Man City they miss out on ZL Rodri
[30:31] doesn't walk up in there and say, yeah, I need to transfer
[30:33] them to Real Madrid. Nobody's, nobody could guarantee
[30:38] that. But exactly so we're we can't
[30:40] make but. You're telling me Man City sells
[30:41] a Rodri doesn't replace a Rodri? They try it when you come,
[30:44] Gonzalez, but 60 fucking million, it's not even starting
[30:46] FA Cup finals. That's about the winner right
[30:49] there. But anyways, there were there
[30:50] were other games in the well, that's not in the Premier
[30:53] League, but there were Premier League games this weekend.
[30:55] And Chelsea, Man United, we watched it together in the in
[30:59] the box, the box office, the HQ. And yeah, it wasn't the
[31:02] prettiest performance. So on what?
[31:05] What? What do you want to talk about?
[31:07] Speechless bro, you're not speechless.
[31:08] What? What is it?
[31:09] The what doesn't need to be? What doesn't need to be
[31:13] acknowledged? What doesn't need to be said can
[31:15] be understood. Is that a?
[31:18] Thing so you saying nothing is. Under speaks louder.
[31:21] Yeah, it you understand what I'm saying.
[31:23] I say nothing. Yeah, terrible performance once
[31:26] again, but we move on. I mean, move on.
[31:29] That's a. You will only get.
[31:30] You will only get a major crash out if we lose the Europa
[31:34] League. If you had Tottenham, their
[31:36] first European trophy. All these trophy droughts coming
[31:39] to an end. All they're all coming to.
[31:40] An end. All these trophy droughts, one
[31:43] after another, all coming to an end.
[31:44] Newcastle trophy drought to finish.
[31:46] They're also Bologna. Bologna, yeah.
[31:48] Crystal Palace, bro. Then we're gonna have Tottenham
[31:51] and then PSG not winning a European title yet and then
[31:54] enter. Enter.
[31:55] You realize that Inter Champions League, you realize that Millie
[31:58] Man United and enter both my favorite teams and Real Madrid.
[32:03] We we have to uphold tradition in winning tradition.
[32:07] We have football. Heritage.
[32:08] Yeah, football tradition is lying on the shoulders of Inter
[32:13] and Man United. You hear that?
[32:14] No pressure at all. We are not the one.
[32:17] Playing so we. We are the the upkeepers of
[32:21] football tradition. Milan couldn't even fucking make
[32:24] European competition this year, so it's up to us.
[32:28] It's a fucking really. I can't wait for the Europa
[32:30] League final to to well. It's going to be fun, happen,
[32:33] It's going to be fun. Are you nervous for that game
[32:34] realistically? But we're playing Spurs enough
[32:36] Cup final, bro. That's a fucking guaranteed win.
[32:39] I wrote that one up when when we beat Athletic Bilbao 7/1, by the
[32:42] way, when we beat them 7/1 and they're playing CL and then they
[32:45] made CL in La Liga, we beat them 7 sunset.
[32:48] We can't, we can't score a goal in the Prem.
[32:51] But we scored seven against Bilbao.
[32:52] But anyways, I already wrote that one down as we're playing
[32:56] CL next year. OK.
[32:58] Check that one off the list. Champions League anthem finally
[33:00] back at Old Stratford. Yes, Sir.
[33:02] Yeah, I bet that's gonna be a good.
[33:03] That's gonna be a good transfer window with CL.
[33:05] That's gonna be a good transfer window.
[33:06] Oh. My God, I'm my need to cook.
[33:08] Yeah, I don't think people realize that his, his whole
[33:11] season, his whole summer, his whole future could go up in
[33:14] smoke. Literally his future in two
[33:16] days. Does he get sacked if he if you
[33:18] don't win? No, he's thinking.
[33:19] No. I wouldn't sack him him if we
[33:20] lose, but we won't, so it's OK. That's that's a hypothetical.
[33:24] That's a hypothetical situation that will never happen.
[33:27] So So what happens if Manchester United go trophy list?
[33:29] Nothing. We were fairly expected to go to
[33:32] the USA picture. Because you don't win the
[33:34] trouble we. Aren't the best team in England
[33:36] like the best team in Italy? That's going to go trophy list
[33:39] potentially. But anyways, back to Chelsea,
[33:41] Man United. Yeah, but what?
[33:43] Nothing. Chelsea scammed their way to a
[33:46] win. I don't know how I don't.
[33:48] Know about scammed? Look from open play, yeah, sure.
[33:51] They they probably for me, this game was a draw that they ended
[33:54] up winning. Reached James incredible pass.
[33:57] Yeah, what an assist. But then he also has some injury
[34:00] doubt during the game, but that he dishes out that pass and
[34:05] Cucudella. Look, keep scoring Cucudella
[34:08] because then they're going to make people think they're
[34:09] actually good. So that's going to keep your
[34:11] spot in the Chelsea starting 11. And then one day they're going
[34:16] to realize all this guy's actually using.
[34:17] It's kind of where did he say that?
[34:21] Hypocritical. Hypocritical because if he keeps
[34:23] scoring brother, that's a good player then.
[34:25] No, because then left back I really like I I want him to
[34:28] score like let's say like a hat trick in the final game this
[34:31] season, but not even 4 score 4. But I wanted to score a hat
[34:35] trick like for Kukudela so that when people look back next year
[34:39] after he has a shit season next year, they're going to say, but
[34:41] bro, he had ten goals last year from a left back.
[34:44] Like we need to keep him. Hard to believe that.
[34:45] And then and then he's gonna have another shit season and
[34:48] then he's gonna be hit. Oh, he has ten goals from a left
[34:51] back two years ago. We need to keep him.
[34:52] The Ben Chilwell parallax. Vito, by the way.
[34:55] Yeah, Vito still. Oh, still can't believe that
[34:59] baffled day. Baffled how Million Pala Vitoed
[35:02] a Ben Chilwell pick in 2025. He just lifted.
[35:06] An FA Cup, actually an FA Cup bro.
[35:08] Did he play a minute? No.
[35:10] I took a photo with that. I saw it on Twitter, thought on
[35:13] Twitter more than what Chelsea could do, unfortunately.
[35:15] Ben Chuwala might actually be the English DeMarco.
[35:18] My Lord, that's crazy. That's a good comp.
[35:20] That's a good in what way? Egregious comp like like he's
[35:23] never reached the actually, well, he's one of Champions
[35:26] League. He's reached a level point.
[35:27] Ben Chuwal was very good. He's reached levels like
[35:29] DeMarco. In 3-4 years will probably be
[35:32] playing for What's the Crystal Palace of OF?
[35:35] Jia Bologna. No, Bologna, they're 7th.
[35:38] It's not the Crystal Palace, they're 6th.
[35:41] They're ahead of Milan Pharma Elan no, who's 12th right now in
[35:44] in Syria, like kind of equivalent.
[35:46] Tarantino. No, there's 7.
[35:48] Como is what, 10th? No como's two como is like the I
[35:53] don't even know who the the como.
[35:55] Would be the Brighton, yes, Yeah.
[35:58] I would say, oh, I'm looking up. Bolania would be the
[36:00] Bournemouth. Crystal Palace or the Torino?
[36:05] Yeah, that's good. Of of the Prem.
[36:07] That is good. Yes, they got, they got there
[36:09] somewhere. Ichi there, Adam Morton, they
[36:12] got some in there. They got some.
[36:14] But yeah, did you guys see just just out of this is completely
[36:18] out of left field. Chelsea are opening up
[36:20] skyscrapers in Dubai. Investing in real estate?
[36:24] Bro. Invest in that team bro.
[36:26] You guys still don't own your fucking stadiums and Chelsea are
[36:30] out here buying whole real estate complexes.
[36:33] In other countries too, yeah. Yeah.
[36:35] But I think that's more of a like their owners are buying the
[36:38] property and they're just tacking one of their IPS onto
[36:42] that building. Like it's just.
[36:44] It's just. Gonna be Is this gonna be
[36:45] another? For real estate, we actually
[36:47] have a soccer club. Let's take that club.
[36:49] So take that logo, tack it on, tack it on the building.
[36:52] And add the value. Is is this gonna be another
[36:55] thing that City Out teams are gonna realize in 50 years old?
[36:58] Maybe. We they won't even realize.
[37:00] We're behind the ball. Let's do this in 50 years time.
[37:03] Italians would just be upset that it didn't happen in their
[37:05] own city first. Yeah.
[37:06] And then and then they're gonna say why do we need a why?
[37:08] Why do we need an inter building in Qatar?
[37:11] Well, forget that Italians are mad about the Super Coupa being
[37:13] in Riyadh in Saudi. Arabia like you're telling me an
[37:16] Inter, an Inter hotel in in Milan wouldn't hit?
[37:21] Definitely had to be vandalized. A Milan.
[37:23] A Milan. Hotel would hit.
[37:25] It would be. Like imagine there was a a joint
[37:27] Milan Inter hotel where half of it's the red side, half of it's
[37:31] the blue side. What?
[37:32] You're just starting shit that I do not want to work.
[37:35] That's a good marketing plan. But what do you mean that that's
[37:38] it's actually smart? What I'm saying if if that
[37:40] actually happens, they owe me a Commission check because that's
[37:43] a good idea. They start a fucking let's say
[37:46] they started like a a who? Who are your your fashion?
[37:51] Sponsors, I'll fight. Canali.
[37:54] Let's say you started like a Canali hotel.
[37:56] A Canali hotel that's half Milan, half half Inter.
[38:02] That would hit. It would hit.
[38:03] You have like a a Milan theme side and you have an Inter theme
[38:06] side. Brother, just two separate
[38:08] building. Yeah, exactly.
[38:09] Then what happens on the and then you have like the main
[38:12] floor when what sets of ultras come down and they fight.
[38:16] And you and you're just, and you're just coming down from
[38:19] your building looking to get fucking brackets, the Cornetto
[38:21] Cafe. And you have.
[38:23] Both. Ultras stopping each other in
[38:24] the in the hallway? Yeah cool.
[38:27] Fuck yeah, that sounds like a plan bro.
[38:30] And then your door neighbor says OK, what are you?
[38:33] I'm an independent. Ohh, honey, we go to the pool
[38:36] today. No, the owners are.
[38:38] There, unfortunately they're they're popping flares in the
[38:41] pool. Ohh.
[38:44] I'm trying to sleep and hear the whole, the whole fucking
[38:46] building shaking. They're all jumping.
[38:48] The whole building's gonna. Collapse.
[38:50] Oh my God. Yeah, I don't think that will be
[38:53] happening anytime soon. We still gotta buy our own
[38:54] stadiums. Yeah, well, at least Chelsea,
[38:57] Yeah, Chelsea's moving. I really like what they're like.
[38:59] Their project behind the scenes is great in my opinion.
[39:02] How much? How much?
[39:03] Like a corporation? How much would you pay for a
[39:04] Chelsea condominium in Dubai? Shit.
[39:07] Does it come with? What does it come with?
[39:09] You gotta come with season. Tickets like you know how it.
[39:11] Doesn't come with. What's the?
[39:12] Point. Actually, that's you.
[39:12] Know how the Habs have two that kind of yeah yeah like that's
[39:15] that's a cool because. Chelsea, Chelsea are one club
[39:17] that you can't you know Chelsea are one club that you can't give
[39:20] out season tickets because their stadium is so small.
[39:23] Chelsea stadium is only 40,000 people.
[39:25] Yeah, but also talking about they stand because it's in such
[39:28] a dense area of London that they can't really expand if they
[39:32] wanna, if they wanna if cuz there's a whole thing at Chelsea
[39:36] right now there, the directors are debating expanding Stanford
[39:39] Bridge or moving to a whole new location.
[39:41] Cuz moving to a whole new location, you could do a 60,000
[39:44] seat stadium, 70,000 seat stadium.
[39:46] You can't do that where they're at right now, so.
[39:47] People get very upset. So these condos are being sold
[39:50] to general public and. I'm sure it's like curated like
[39:55] it's like they have like a client list or whatever that
[39:58] they offer it to 1st. Let me see or something.
[40:01] Pretty interesting to be honest. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
[40:04] But that's like a whole different business side of
[40:06] football, which I actually am really interested.
[40:07] I like that too. That's pretty cool here.
[40:09] But how does it? I don't know.
[40:12] Is this gonna? Chelsea FC have unveiled plans
[40:15] for residential skyscrapers in Dubai, which will feature a
[40:17] rooftop football pitch. The towers will house 1400 homes
[40:20] and are set to be finished by 2029.
[40:23] The homes priced from 470,000 lbs so 625 thousand U.S.
[40:28] dollars, will be branded with the club's logos.
[40:31] The Infinity beach pool with blue sand, that's kind of cool
[40:35] and the buildings will light up blue whenever Chelsea scores a
[40:37] goal. There will also be a football
[40:39] simulator downstairs and on the roof of one of the towers, a
[40:43] full size Chelsea branded football pitch.
[40:45] Damn pretty. Cool, cool.
[40:48] That is cool. How much are they 1400 *
[40:51] 625,000? Yeah.
[40:53] That's that's starting like Penthouse, you're looking at
[40:55] like. Can can real estate work almost
[40:59] like sponsors do with football clubs?
[41:01] Like can you invest that money? It's.
[41:04] Possible. Like I, I wonder how this ties
[41:06] into Yeah. So it just counts as revenue.
[41:08] Yeah, you can use that as. Yeah, you can use that as just
[41:10] but. Then at the same time, that must
[41:11] count as an expense for them as well.
[41:15] Like it on like if they're building Chelsea, yeah,
[41:18] probably. It's not like, Oh yeah, we're
[41:19] going to make the expense go on our our construction.
[41:23] Yeah, on our construction company.
[41:24] But then all the revenues go to Chelsea like that's.
[41:26] Yeah, no, that's it. Got to be tied together.
[41:29] Yeah, that's kind of crazy. It's $875 million.
[41:36] Vibes. I wonder why I.
[41:38] Don't think it did that. I don't.
[41:39] Know how? How come other teams aren't
[41:41] thinking about this real estate? Because it's an it depends who
[41:45] owns the teams. Cuz I don't think this is
[41:49] Chelsea. I think they have a real estate
[41:50] partner called the Mac or the Mac.
[41:53] But that's what it is. It's partnerships and stuff.
[41:55] Or your owners have to be like a whole firm.
[41:59] Yeah, cuz Chelsea is not turning into a real estate company.
[42:02] No, I know, obviously. Not but yeah, I mean, if if
[42:05] clubs can start finding ways to do this like it's it's like what
[42:08] brands do like Armani Hotel and. Well, Aston Martin does that,
[42:12] yeah, Aston Martin Residences, and then it's like you basically
[42:15] comes. With an Aston Martin.
[42:16] Comes with an Aston Martin. Like the Porsche.
[42:18] Porsche residence in. Miami.
[42:20] It comes with an allocation for GT3 Rs.
[42:23] Wow. Kind of nuts, yeah.
[42:25] Well. I mean, you're paying 5 million
[42:27] obviously, so obviously it comes.
[42:28] The least they could do is give you a fucking GT3.
[42:30] Rs here. Enjoy you're 5 mil down, but
[42:34] here's a $300,000 car. Here.
[42:36] The keys Here's the tickets for Chelsea.
[42:38] Yeah, I enjoy that. But yeah, that kind of kind of
[42:41] crazy. That was a little side topic I
[42:42] wanted to bring up. And then Arsenal, Arsenal beat
[42:45] Newcastle one nil, so they secured their CLA let down.
[42:48] I really, I was really hoping. Yeah, I was really, really
[42:51] hoping. Oh.
[42:52] I was there. I was the biggest.
[42:54] I had that on the television. I'm hoping that like, OK, let's
[42:56] make, let's make that extravaganza bonanza
[42:58] interesting. Yeah, on the final day.
[43:00] But unfortunately. Newcastle would have passed
[43:02] Arsenal if they won, right? Yeah, which would have been
[43:05] interesting for the top 4. Race, but Declan Rice is just
[43:07] too generational. I should have seen it coming.
[43:10] I should have seen it coming from a mile away that this
[43:13] generational brother, the guy who basically is the greatest
[43:17] footballer in England right now possibly.
[43:21] But but yeah, Declan Rice, it's games like this, bro, where the
[43:25] big dogs show up and not just shows character bro, he.
[43:29] Did show up character Arsenal win.
[43:31] Yeah, but then Arteta went on the mic at the end of the game,
[43:34] thanks, saying thank you to all the fans.
[43:36] And he also said. He didn't do it at the end of
[43:38] the game. I think it was like a a fan
[43:40] meeting at the end of the season.
[43:42] Like, yeah, but at the at the end of the season, like at the
[43:43] end of the game, they did a thank you on the pitch.
[43:45] Yeah. He got on the mic.
[43:46] Yeah. Yeah.
[43:47] And he has. The greatest manipulator of all
[43:49] time. And I think he said because I
[43:51] was watching, he said, you know, other teams in our position and
[43:56] what we've done this season would, would basically say like
[43:59] this is a success. He's like, they would be very
[44:02] lucky to be like, yeah, the guy he's gasolating.
[44:05] Oh, my Lords, Gas. He's he's coping right now.
[44:08] He he, he's a master manipulator.
[44:10] He's basically he's. Manipulating that fan base into
[44:13] thinking like you, you would. You don't deserve better.
[44:15] You need me. You don't deserve better.
[44:18] Basically he's basically saying like you wouldn't get second
[44:21] place and consistent CL without me.
[44:24] It's a toxic, like it's a toxic relationship.
[44:27] Like you're not going to do better than me.
[44:29] You're not. Even though you have all these
[44:31] amazing things going for you, you will never do better than
[44:35] me. It's like, it's like.
[44:36] Better off sticking it with me. Yeah.
[44:38] The end of Diamonds Dancing by Drake.
[44:40] That's that. That's what it is.
[44:41] Yeah, the the last. Drain.
[44:43] For a ministrated. That's what it is.
[44:46] But it's, it's weird because at the beginning of the season,
[44:49] well, let's say half, like during, during the half mark of
[44:52] the season, Arsenal fans were turning on Arteta.
[44:55] But yeah, because the the title was already done.
[44:57] So like I mean what would change from that?
[45:00] At CL semis. Yeah, I guess.
[45:02] Could they be Real Madrid? It did look like the hope was
[45:05] there, but I mean the project is still like the same, hasn't
[45:09] changed since since the beginning of it, right?
[45:12] Look, I think, I think the turning, the turning point is
[45:14] gonna be like, are they gonna be able to keep Saliba?
[45:17] Are they gonna be able to keep that?
[45:18] Would help. Well, Saka's going to stay.
[45:20] I mean, he's hailing through and through and Rice is obviously
[45:24] going to stay, but it's more like are they going to be able
[45:26] to keep the players that they've been able to develop and and
[45:30] Gabrielle coming back from this injury, is that going to like
[45:32] restrict his playing a bit? So it's going to be it's going
[45:35] to be interesting to see Zubi Mendi for 60 mil.
[45:38] They kind of need that to hit because I think Thomas Parte is
[45:40] not going to be resigning or if he does resign, like he's
[45:43] already 30, something like he's not going to do you see they
[45:46] gave. Got a better version of him.
[45:47] Leandro Troshardt's 30 one years old or something like that right
[45:50] now they give him a five year contract extension.
[45:54] Why? I want to know because they
[45:55] believe they believe so much in his fitness and how much you
[45:57] work he puts in off the field that they didn't mind giving him
[46:01] like a a very long contract extension at 31 which.
[46:04] Must be a leader in the locker room.
[46:05] Very risky, bro. Like he's first of all, he's
[46:08] not, yeah. He's not even like that good of
[46:10] a player that like he must have gotten you must have gotten him
[46:12] on a good wage for you to sign that, Yeah.
[46:15] Probably like he knows that it's it's secured secured work for
[46:18] five years will take a lower cut.
[46:20] Yeah, it's possible. I don't I don't know about
[46:23] Trustard is a weird case because like he he's just a very good
[46:26] super sub, but not good enough as a starter kind of thing.
[46:31] I don't know, it's it's very tough, but I think he does start
[46:33] at some some team I. Think he's a good?
[46:35] Player on most teams. Yeah, yeah, like he's a he's a
[46:37] decent player, but unfortunately Arsenal need need more certified
[46:42] core pieces in my opinion, like that.
[46:45] They they have, they have this. Would be a good fit for Rodrigo
[46:49] if he were to leave. Yeah, that.
[46:50] That would be that'd be cool to see.
[46:51] Very interesting to see like Rodrigo in the press.
[46:53] I if Rodrigo leaves, I see him in London, either Arsenal or
[46:57] Chelsea, one of those two. Personally, I don't see the
[47:00] Liverpool, I don't see the Man United, I don't see the Man
[47:03] City. I see him at Arsenal or Chelsea
[47:05] because they're he is going to be a crucial player, yes, but
[47:09] not the main player like Arsenal.
[47:13] He's never going to be better than Saka so that we can.
[47:16] That's not true. That's very true.
[47:17] He's never he. Has shown levels that he could
[47:19] be better. Brother, you won Champions
[47:22] League with Madrid, How could you discredit that?
[47:24] Yeah, OK, Clipped. Now Chelsea, he's always not
[47:31] going to be better than Cole Palmer, so then that's another.
[47:33] But different positions like. But he's never going to be the
[47:36] main man. He's just going to be the side
[47:37] piece, which is good. Like now I.
[47:39] Don't know bro, you're coming from Real Madrid and it's like
[47:41] bro, I don't want to bring up the the comparison, but Ozo
[47:44] coming from Real Madrid like he was.
[47:47] What did that do for Arsenal? He was their main man for and he
[47:50] was, they didn't really have a player that.
[47:52] Talented in a very long time, Yeah.
[47:54] For Chico's your main man. Yeah, maybe you can finish 4th,
[47:58] OK. And that was when the Prem was
[47:59] at it's all time. Low.
[47:59] So how likely is was he going to leave Real Madrid?
[48:02] I would say pretty likely. He said he said, like, don't
[48:04] believe everything I saw. I saw that too.
[48:06] Bro, going into next year, what, you're just Real Madrid are just
[48:11] not going to change anything. Oh no.
[48:12] No, but they are changing. Look, look at the changes
[48:15] they've made. They Dean Hoisen like these
[48:17] Trent. These are so now.
[48:18] Defensive changes. So now when Javi Alonzo comes in
[48:21] and wants to play three at the back, OK, your your front.
[48:25] Two Rodrigo in that right Cam spot would cook or left Cam
[48:29] spot. Well, he's not.
[48:30] Vinny is much better than Rodrigo.
[48:32] So then, Vinny. Left, he's not touching any left
[48:35] Cam. OK, so now.
[48:36] OK, so now where does Arda Guler go?
[48:39] Arda Guler will be assessed Rodrigo as a right Cam.
[48:42] Trabi Alonso supposedly loves. Arda Guler will cook under Shabi
[48:45] Alonso and but the the fact that you have Rodrigo, Vinny, Arda
[48:49] Guler, all these guys that could all play in those positions, you
[48:52] have a stacked team now. Yeah, I would.
[48:54] I would hope that the. Forwards is not the problem,
[48:56] it's the defense. But.
[48:57] Rodrigo's not someone that wants to play 30 games a year.
[49:00] He wants to play 60. So then.
[49:02] I mean, that's a good mentality to have.
[49:03] Yeah, I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying he doesn't deserve to
[49:06] play 60 in this Real Madrid team, but he he wants to be.
[49:09] I think there's a lot of more, a lot more players on the Real
[49:11] Madrid team that do not deserve to play 60 games.
[49:15] Rodrigo's not at the top of that list.
[49:16] That is 100% certain. But in that front three, he's
[49:18] the weakest the front 3 guaranteed.
[49:20] Yeah, but and next year you next year, are you really planning on
[49:23] going into the season again with Mbappe as you're out and out
[49:26] number? 9 They're they're, I feel like
[49:28] they're just pinning Rodrigo as kind of like a, like a
[49:30] scapegoat, yes, like they're saying, well, you are, you are
[49:33] because like you're saying that if Rodrigo goes like it's almost
[49:38] like all their problems are gone like that's.
[49:40] That's you swap out to Rodrigo for let's say a a number 9 or a
[49:45] actual out and out right winger like a Bukai Osaka.
[49:49] The team gets significantly better, yes.
[49:51] OK, but it's not because Rodrigo's like.
[49:54] It's not because Rodrigo's a bad player.
[49:55] He's he's an all right player. He's a good player.
[49:57] He's in a he's a top player. And also put yourself in the
[50:00] shoes of these players like Rodrigo, No, Yes, put yourself
[50:04] in the shoes of these players like Rodrigo, the brothers
[50:06] playing at the biggest club in the world.
[50:08] And what? Why not fight for the starting
[50:11] spot? You know what I mean?
[50:13] Why would you dip as he's been fighting for half a decade now?
[50:17] That doesn't change then. Like what do you mean?
[50:19] He's been fighting. Fighting and join another team
[50:22] like I find he's. Not going to be fighting though
[50:25] at that other team. He's going to be a like if he
[50:28] joins Arsenal, he's way better than Martinelli.
[50:29] He's going to be starting out left wing which he probably
[50:31] wants to like. It's going to be much more for
[50:34] your downgrading, but you're a star player on a Prem team in a
[50:38] good city, London to try to. Become a star player on Real
[50:41] Madrid and. That's very deep.
[50:42] You won't be ahead of Mbappe or Vinny.
[50:44] It would just, it's it's, you aren't at that level, you're not
[50:47] there. I mean, Bellingham came in in a
[50:49] year. I forgot about Bellingham.
[50:51] Where the fuck's Bellingham going to play in this fucking
[50:53] front 3 then? Not in the front three.
[50:56] He'll be the the midfield options.
[50:57] No, that's like a Shaka in Valverdego.
[51:01] Valverde go right wing by would Cook.
[51:03] Where does Chua many in Kama Vinga go?
[51:05] I think Chua Many will be relegated to the bench.
[51:07] OK, but then where does Kama Vingo go?
[51:10] Kama Vingo's been a bench. And where?
[51:11] Where does trend go if if Valverde's out right?
[51:13] Wing, but listen to all the quality you're mentioning.
[51:15] You're telling me Rodrigo's all? Rodrigo's worse than every
[51:18] player we just mentioned other than true men?
[51:20] That's. Crazy.
[51:21] Bro Rodrigo is not a ** player that's crazy.
[51:25] I don't know how we got into this with.
[51:26] I don't. Know, I don't know.
[51:28] If you go to Rodrigo, go to Arsenal and Chelsea, collect
[51:32] that wage, that's going to be way more than you should be
[51:34] making and then live out the rest of your days as a good
[51:38] Premier League player. It would good for it would be
[51:40] good for his career, but I just feel like you're at around
[51:42] Madrid fight for that starting spot.
[51:45] Yeah, prove the prove the haters wrong, you know what I mean?
[51:48] He's I disagree. He's proved a lot already,
[51:51] obviously the season. He isn't a good player.
[51:53] He's a, he's a good player, but he's not.
[51:55] Don't tell me he can push Bukai Osaka to the side or he can push
[51:58] Cole Palmer to the side. Like this is my team.
[52:00] It's possible. No, but Saka and Rodrigo will be
[52:03] very good, yes. Palmer and Rodrigo will be
[52:06] amazing, yes. So that's all it is.
[52:11] Talking about we actually just mentioned them.
[52:13] Trent officially is going to be joining Liverpool for the Club
[52:17] World Cup, do we think? Yeah, I said Liverpool, OK, I
[52:21] doubt he's going back, right? He's gonna be, he's joining
[52:23] around. They you see, they bought him
[52:24] for 2 million. That's actually a disrespectful
[52:26] offer. But that's a whole other thing.
[52:28] They're replacing him with Frimpong.
[52:29] Do we think Frimpong will be an adequate replacement for Trent?
[52:35] There's no other player of Trent's quality in that
[52:37] position. I'm going to be honest, even
[52:39] with a Frimpong there, like he's a he, he covers, yes, but we're
[52:43] talking about Trent here. This is he's at the top of his
[52:46] position. And I was looking at the
[52:47] conversations about the defensive stats of Trent and the
[52:50] defensive stats of Frimpong, whether it's looking like
[52:53] Frimpong doesn't defend as much. The brothers a right winger, I
[52:56] think. Slot's going to have to change
[52:58] this team somehow next year to make this fit because if you're
[53:02] just expecting to plop in Frimpong and say, OK, we're
[53:05] going to get as much out of him as Trent, you're dreaming.
[53:08] But Frimpong running forward, helping Sal on those overlaps,
[53:12] you may actually get more out of him potentially.
[53:15] Potentially. I really like the signing for
[53:16] Liverpool personally. I think it was the closest you
[53:18] could have found to what Trent is, but obviously it's very
[53:23] tough to replace the best player in that position.
[53:25] I don't know, I think. Prem wingers are gonna feast
[53:29] though. That's what I have to say.
[53:30] That's what I'm gonna say. And Slot, you know, we know Slot
[53:32] is not like a the defensive minded in the sense of like he
[53:36] could be, he could be, but but they concede, they concede and
[53:40] that's even with Trent. I don't know in there they don't
[53:42] concede that much bro. I think they have the best
[53:44] defense in the. Yeah, they they do.
[53:46] Best defense in the Prem up there, bro.
[53:48] Yeah, but there's games where it's like they're down a goal,
[53:50] is what I'm saying. Every team's down a goal at one
[53:53] point. Bro yes, but what I'm saying
[53:55] again is that you are taking. Second best defense in the Prem.
[53:57] Who's first? Arsenal.
[53:59] Arsenal. But what I'm saying is that
[54:02] they, yeah, but they also score a lot.
[54:04] Yeah, they have 80. They have 83 goals.
[54:06] Score a lot. But I don't know, Frimpong.
[54:08] If you're expecting him to be in addition to the defensive side,
[54:12] then you're not signing him for the right reason.
[54:14] Yeah. Newcastle have the second most
[54:15] goals in the Prem. I didn't not know that.
[54:18] It's that Gordon, Isaac, combo bro and Murphy to be honest.
[54:21] Bring him to man. Barnes is also bro.
[54:23] Barnes to Barnes played well in that game against Arsenal.
[54:26] He was actually very good. Yeah, all four start at Man
[54:29] United, no. Cap and Milan, unfortunately,
[54:31] and I. Don't know about all Milan star
[54:33] player bro layout doesn't even get starts at your club camp.
[54:37] But Frimpong but unreal. But you also had that Dutch
[54:43] connection. I think him and Gravin Birch are
[54:44] like best friends also. You have Van Dyke arnis slot.
[54:48] Bro, a lot of Dutch players, that's why they're, that's why
[54:50] they're lining up for a second place finish next year, because
[54:53] Dutch, they always finish second, never win shit.
[54:56] Yeah, true, but they've always created some strong teams.
[54:59] Yeah, so the players are definitely quality.
[55:02] Dutch players have always been excellent, like they they've
[55:05] always been top. I don't know last was it last
[55:08] EUR or last World Cup? We were talking about how the
[55:10] shit the Dutch team is like the the team was horrible coached by
[55:15] Ronald Coleman like. It's always been the coaches.
[55:18] The world. Cup, I don't know, one of them
[55:20] was the Dutch team was so bad it wasn't even funny.
[55:23] Remember the the Paretes Van Dyke hit there in the World Cup?
[55:27] But that was that was, that was the last World Cup, no.
[55:30] Yeah, the the. Yeah, Artiner versus Netherlands
[55:33] and it was Camila Bubble. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[55:35] That was that was a crazy, but I think it was the World Cup
[55:38] before that. That the quality was enough.
[55:40] Yeah, the quality wasn't that great.
[55:41] And it was I like Frempang. I think he's gonna be a good
[55:45] Trent is hard to replace. So Frempang will be a it's.
[55:47] Gonna take multiple players to replace Trent.
[55:49] Yeah, output because you're basically trading the best right
[55:53] back of a generation for he's good, he's not bad.
[55:58] And I think I, I think you will you.
[56:01] We will be surprised by how many goals and assists he actually
[56:04] gets next. Year I think good FPL pick up.
[56:06] I think he'll be five goals, 10 assists from right back, which
[56:10] is fucking amazing. But defensively is going to be
[56:14] the. Worst has that.
[56:15] It's no, he's going to get more goals and assistant Trent in my
[56:17] personal. Pain.
[56:20] Yeah, no. That's.
[56:22] Crazy. Cause Trent is on free kicks.
[56:25] He hasn't. Even.
[56:29] Joined yet 2023-2024. He had 24 goals in assists from
[56:32] right wing back. Who?
[56:34] Frempong? Frempong.
[56:35] Yeah, but he's playing right wing.
[56:37] Because Balandor nominated that. Year and then one second.
[56:40] Let me check Trent this year. He had nine goals in assists in
[56:45] the Prem, 11 all season. Thought a bit more.
[56:50] He's on free kicks, he's on set pieces.
[56:54] I don't know it, it really depends.
[56:56] We're going to have to see that. Bundesliga to the Prem?
[57:00] I don't know. Marmoshi Badusi did.
[57:02] Not didn't really translate well.
[57:04] So I don't, I think there's going to be a lot of question
[57:05] marks, but I think it's a very good addition.
[57:07] Who else could they have signed realistically?
[57:10] As a right back, the right back position looked Dalo.
[57:15] Nobody wants him. Yeah, no, I agree.
[57:19] The right back position. It's just it's different bro.
[57:21] It's it's it's just not. Everyone plays with right wing
[57:24] backs now, yeah, everyone's playing a three back, so.
[57:26] They're all copying in Zaggy bro.
[57:29] The blueprint. Who copied Conte, by the way?
[57:32] The Foundation perfected Conte. Perfected Conte system, that's
[57:36] all I need to say. About But yeah.
[57:37] And then there's other storylines in the Prem this
[57:39] weekend, like Vardy scored his 200th goal.
[57:42] Pretty crazy. And five. 100 games it's.
[57:43] One of the most. Satisfying, pleasing stats to
[57:46] look at. Beautiful.
[57:47] Perfectly perfect distribution of goals, but one more goal, my
[57:52] brother, and then he has one game to score one goal and then
[57:55] palletize the bet that asked you said you said over or under.
[57:59] I said under. Oh my God, you think 30?
[58:02] You see, he wants to stay in the Prem.
[58:03] Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
[58:05] That's. If Lester stays, no.
[58:07] Loki is better than Hoyland. Not even Loki, he is better
[58:10] than. He's got the prime pedigree.
[58:11] Yeah, he's done it before. Give him a fucking shitty ass
[58:14] wage. You sound crazy.
[58:16] You get to Don the colors of Man United.
[58:18] As a sub. Bro we're going to have CL next
[58:20] year. Bro we need if we need to ship
[58:22] Hoyland out. So right now we would have
[58:23] actually Xerxes still there straight swap Vardy for.
[58:26] Hoyland, do you do it? This is wrong.
[58:31] It's because the values bro. Like like Hoyland's not
[58:33] valueless. Like I like to say that he's
[58:35] valueless but he doesn't have 0 value.
[58:37] Vardy has zero values like he's. Really like a 0.
[58:39] It's more of you ship Hoyland out and then you get Vardy.
[58:43] Yeah, he has 200 goals, though. Yeah.
[58:45] But we're not buying the one that got 200 goals.
[58:47] We're buying the one that got nine.
[58:49] Yeah. Yeah, that.
[58:51] But do you see xerxe loan plus buy option?
[58:55] To enter, enter. Who says no?
[58:57] And your city? And 60 and yeah, everyone,
[59:01] everyone says everyone just doesn't work for anyone.
[59:04] But yeah, Jimmy Vardi, low key one of the most like the most
[59:07] underrated Prem player of all time.
[59:08] Potentially if this brother played, if he did what he did at
[59:11] Leicester, at Arsenal, we'd be talking about Loris.
[59:14] Oh my God. Oh my God, dude.
[59:16] The the amount of hype Obama and got versus like Vardy and Obama
[59:20] and accomplished like half of what Vardy did in the Prem.
[59:22] So. Yeah, but what's crazy, brother,
[59:24] it's 200 goals, but you're on a a Leicester squad that wasn't
[59:27] competitive for most of that time and you end up winning a
[59:30] Premier League trophy. So like I feel like that even
[59:33] adds more value. The other elite players around
[59:35] you came and went like like Marez, Kante, they all, they all
[59:40] left the Tielemans like everyone, everyone was.
[59:45] The name in life. Robert Guy actually went to
[59:48] Chelsea and did nothing that. Was MIL.
[59:51] Yeah, that was Mil. That was a miss.
[59:52] That's on the list of one of the biggest misses.
[59:53] Yeah, that's that's up there as one of the Prem biggest misses
[59:56] of all time. Bro this guy showed up and I
[59:58] think he played like less than 10. 10 if yeah, he was not good,
[1:00:01] but. Yeah, shout out, shout out Jamie
[1:00:03] Vardy, the goat goat. And he always had like this aura
[1:00:07] about him and personality that was very like, refreshing.
[1:00:09] That's what you need from strikers, yeah.
[1:00:11] Personality. It was one of those like old
[1:00:13] like old school Prem strikers. And not and not like bash and
[1:00:18] and strikers. You can tell when it's a
[1:00:20] gimmick. Yeah, like like Hoyland.
[1:00:22] It's a gimmick of what though? Like bro when he scored he
[1:00:25] scores the first goal in fucking 20 months and you start going
[1:00:28] like. It's kind of cold though.
[1:00:31] It's a. Cold celebration but he can't do
[1:00:33] it. But like, get me, get me
[1:00:34] Yokoresh. And then do it and then do or
[1:00:36] hit the What do you? Mean the pain.
[1:00:38] Yokoresh available for 55 mil. We're going to get into it, bro.
[1:00:42] We'll get into. It but yeah, that that was Jamie
[1:00:45] Vardy, player of the season in the Prem nominees were
[1:00:48] announced. Yeah, it it basically is solid.
[1:00:50] But let me let me try and find the nominees, but I'm pretty
[1:00:52] sure it's going to be Salah. There's not, there's it's.
[1:00:57] Hard to debate that it's not him.
[1:00:58] Like yeah, I really don't know anyone else in the Prem that
[1:01:00] wouldn't. Unless you throw in like a Van
[1:01:02] Dyke, you know. But I I think Salah just for
[1:01:05] what he's done for Liverpool. It doesn't need to be a
[1:01:07] Liverpool player. Has to be.
[1:01:08] So I think I think you have to give it to Salah.
[1:01:11] The nominees are Morgan Gibbs, White Gravenberg, Isaac and
[1:01:14] Boemo, Declan Rice, Salah Van Dyke, Chris Wood.
[1:01:17] I like I like the Isaac and Boemo shouts but like 100% and
[1:01:21] Boemo also another player that. Underrated.
[1:01:24] Needs a move this year, yeah. And I think he will get one
[1:01:27] that's a player that if I go into next year with any striker
[1:01:31] not named Toiland and Cunya and Buemo as my friend three, I'm
[1:01:34] very solid, exceedingly pleased. Yeah.
[1:01:36] Extremely depth. That's that's like, OK, now
[1:01:38] you're looking at like top 4. Yeah, then our predictions would
[1:01:42] be right. Yes, yeah.
[1:01:42] Then, then. Then we're gonna, we're gonna
[1:01:44] put. We're too early.
[1:01:45] We're gonna put them 10th and then they're gonna.
[1:01:47] They're gonna put them 10th. I'm gonna put them 10th and then
[1:01:50] we're gonna. You let you let me same time
[1:01:51] next year. You let me bro, you let me rock
[1:01:54] up with Cunha and Ambemo behind the good striker.
[1:01:57] Amad Diallo. The the the conversations and
[1:02:01] Premier League player predictions next year will be.
[1:02:03] Over Player Most Improved Player of the Season Player of the.
[1:02:07] Season I My prediction may actually go up from last season
[1:02:10] my. God, So what?
[1:02:12] We're looking at a second place. I think since for starting it's
[1:02:15] the box it's been second. Like you predict them seconds,
[1:02:19] your averaging is. All I'm gonna say. 3rd, 2nd.
[1:02:22] All I'm gonna say is that after Amrim's first season at
[1:02:25] Sporting, that was a little underwhelming.
[1:02:27] He won the title. That's all I'm gonna say.
[1:02:29] Just like pasta, Koglu says that he wins trophies in his second.
[1:02:32] Second year, Well, maybe one last game his first year.
[1:02:38] That's all white there. Keep cold.
[1:02:42] But yeah, player of the season, I mean, all those players had
[1:02:44] good seasons, but I mean, most Hallows on a different team.
[1:02:47] And then young player of the season nominees were announced.
[1:02:50] Liam de Lappe, Gravinbirch, Ilanga Hoisen, Palmer, Joao
[1:02:54] Pedro, Roger Saliba. Who do you guys have winning?
[1:02:58] It's a. It's a long list of names.
[1:02:59] I think. Honestly a couple of them don't
[1:03:02] really make sense. Like I'm looking maybe?
[1:03:05] A Jao Pedro, What's a polar bear doing in Arlington, TX?
[1:03:07] Not saying he's he's not a, he's a very good player, but I think
[1:03:10] Brighton is not really in this conversation.
[1:03:12] And all of his goals, I think he has ten goals.
[1:03:14] I think six were pens or 7. He does take.
[1:03:18] Pens he did not have a good season.
[1:03:20] Me personally out of this list, I think Morgan Rogers might
[1:03:22] actually have the best argument for a young player of the
[1:03:25] season. Crazy if you're not going to go
[1:03:26] with the the boring ones like Palmer Saliba, which Palmer by
[1:03:30] his standards of last year had a pretty disappointing season.
[1:03:34] Gravin Bridge is also a good shout.
[1:03:36] It is a good shout, but I I think Rogers, the way that he
[1:03:39] took this Aston Villa team and I had Aston Villa predicted 8th.
[1:03:43] I think before the season started, we all predicted at
[1:03:45] least a bit of regression. They're looking at potential top
[1:03:48] four spot going into the weekend, so if if.
[1:03:51] You. Would have seen Morgan Rogers.
[1:03:54] The way this guy plays is like he's a baby belly.
[1:03:56] I'm low key. Yeah.
[1:03:57] Just so you for me. He's my winner.
[1:04:00] Or even players like Dilap and Alanga.
[1:04:03] I I was even thinking more dilap in my opinion coming up from the
[1:04:06] basically getting into the Prem first season and already you're
[1:04:10] getting links to some of the top clubs in the league.
[1:04:12] It's it's a testament to the to the work and the results that
[1:04:15] he's put in this season. So I definitely think he gets a
[1:04:17] shout here. Hoisenhausen.
[1:04:19] Yeah, Yeah, it's Hausen. Is it Hausen or Hausen?
[1:04:23] Saddam. Saddam Hoisen.
[1:04:24] Yeah, it's it's. A new slander name just dropped.
[1:04:27] Yeah, it's a a Hausen, but I I like Hoisen better.
[1:04:31] I do like. Hoisen as well.
[1:04:32] They like Hoisen better, but I don't know if they give it to a
[1:04:34] guy that just transferred to Real Madrid, but it he this
[1:04:37] season, yeah, it's he's been a revelation for the league.
[1:04:39] So I don't know it could it be like a more of APR thing for
[1:04:43] Hoisin? I don't like he's been pushed.
[1:04:45] A lot, yeah. I don't want to I don't want to
[1:04:48] start spreading, but there's actually a cool little story
[1:04:50] about Hoisin OK with supposedly his dad is a massive gangster
[1:04:56] gangster gangster. Like I I need to find the
[1:04:59] article that I read but but yes. In in like his his.
[1:05:05] Dad like robs people and shit like like he he was a massive
[1:05:09] massive. We Fact Check this, Yes, I will
[1:05:11] Fact Check it before but. Apparently his dad is not.
[1:05:15] Good Dad is a criminal mastermind.
[1:05:18] Oh, never mind, it's not true. I'm gonna find it before.
[1:05:21] That was a parody account on Twitter.
[1:05:24] Oh shit. Oh, sorry, that's my.
[1:05:26] Shit, that wasn't him. K one second.
[1:05:27] OK, wait, you guys. Twitter Twitter Twitter OK,
[1:05:30] wait, Hoisin dad? That's what we're.
[1:05:34] Going to need to look up perfect.
[1:05:36] You let us know if that shows up.
[1:05:37] But I mean Hoisin minus the criminal activity.
[1:05:40] Very good player, deserves to be on this list of a young player
[1:05:44] this. Year, so by Juventus by the.
[1:05:46] Just like his son Dean, Donnie Hoisen was a footballer, but
[1:05:50] Donnie was sentenced to five years in prison for exporting
[1:05:52] cocaine to England, but was ultimately acquitted on appeal.
[1:05:56] Acquitted Bro. Criminal mastermind.
[1:05:58] Acquitted. Never happened.
[1:06:01] Yeah, never happened. So here I'll read, I'll read the
[1:06:04] article. His father was also a decent
[1:06:06] footballer, he just had some bad friends and alluding to what the
[1:06:13] fuck is this? We're talking about a kidnapping
[1:06:15] in 1883. Like maybe that's a case law?
[1:06:19] Could it be? 18I.
[1:06:21] Don't know, but basically, yeah. His dad's a criminal mastermind,
[1:06:25] basically. Like, no mastermind, no source.
[1:06:27] Yeah, just believe that source bucks the bar bar.
[1:06:31] But yeah, I don't. I don't think he wins it though.
[1:06:34] Yeah, I just I agree, but that Real Madrid PR now it.
[1:06:38] Might be good to win, maybe. Just for the they move the
[1:06:40] needle. Yeah, but yeah, my my vote,
[1:06:43] Morgan Rogers. Yeah, mine too.
[1:06:45] I'm. Gonna blame the lap.
[1:06:46] I think he deserves it. Blame the lap.
[1:06:49] Barcelona lost but it couldn't be celebrated because they won
[1:06:52] the title, so it's easy. Can't.
[1:06:54] Can't even sell but they're already doing their bus to bus.
[1:06:56] The bus tour. Yeah, yeah.
[1:06:57] So like this, this is they're just showing up the show.
[1:06:59] Yeah. Barcelona looked like chaos for
[1:07:02] that that Oh my Lord celebration, but Yamal scores
[1:07:06] again is patented. That's what I called him bro, I
[1:07:09] said he's he's a cut in is crazy better Robin.
[1:07:11] That's what I said. But if your T stop it, if your T
[1:07:14] had A had a a comparable, what was it you were saying?
[1:07:17] It is the name of Robin. Neymar of Robin?
[1:07:20] Why not the best name of Robins? Could be both.
[1:07:25] He's got the flare. He got the flare of Neymar that
[1:07:26] yeah, he does. But yeah, I even got the
[1:07:29] notification for it. It said your mouse scores his
[1:07:32] copy paste goal. It's the same thing every time.
[1:07:35] I saw it always works. But at a certain point, teams do
[1:07:38] need to like, figure out ways. It's not about figuring it out.
[1:07:41] It's he's unstoppable. You think the teams did it's
[1:07:45] thing. You think what?
[1:07:46] Are we going to do? Maybe we should try stopping
[1:07:49] him. He would be.
[1:07:50] Good. If there are, defenders did what
[1:07:51] there was. Robin Robin made a career by
[1:07:53] defenders just thinking, you know what?
[1:07:55] He's going to cut in. He's.
[1:07:56] Not going to cut in this time. I'm marking his right left foot.
[1:07:58] He's not going to do it. What are the?
[1:07:59] Chances he doesn't cut in. Yeah, I know.
[1:08:03] But I mean, I at a certain point, structurally, you could,
[1:08:06] I think do a good job of defending that.
[1:08:08] You, I don't know if you guys, there's the TikTok trends where
[1:08:11] they go through the goal catalog of let's say the player and they
[1:08:14] say good goal banger. Yeah, good goal tap in.
[1:08:18] I like like I went I saw for Yamal this season, they were all
[1:08:22] banger, banger, banger, banger. It was all bangers, golastos,
[1:08:25] good goals. Not a single tap in.
[1:08:27] That's why bro. Outside the box, Dawn. 35 or 40
[1:08:31] goals and assists this season. Imagine when he starts
[1:08:34] developing the TAP in Gene. Well, the tap in is more He's
[1:08:37] not in those he's not. Imagine when he starts getting
[1:08:40] into those areas. But he's not in those areas.
[1:08:42] He's the guy who gets the ball and.
[1:08:43] Brings it beginning. Ronaldo wasn't in those areas
[1:08:45] either, but you start developing that gene, you could potentially
[1:08:49] be looking at a player who gets sixty goals and assists or
[1:08:52] seventy goals and assists. Bro, it's starting to look
[1:08:56] translatable into messy Ronaldo numbers.
[1:08:59] It's starting to look. He's listen, he's doing it in
[1:09:02] the same league, he's doing it in the Champions League.
[1:09:04] He's doing it every competition that they did it too.
[1:09:06] So yeah, listen, he's he's there, man.
[1:09:09] I Balandor talk. He's my Balandor winner right
[1:09:12] now. Definitely warranted.
[1:09:14] He's my Balandor winner right now.
[1:09:16] I'm going to tell you without any tappins, he has Yamal.
[1:09:21] Let me check Yamal. He has 38, but he's also an
[1:09:28] assist. He's also a player that
[1:09:29] regardless of the stats, he's insane.
[1:09:32] I agree, does everything on the pitch.
[1:09:33] But but both Ronaldo, Messi, everyone speaks about it that if
[1:09:38] you really want to be like the Super effective players, you
[1:09:42] need to get into those, those positions near the Nets.
[1:09:46] Yeah, near the net that like is really like, we call it Tappins,
[1:09:50] but there's a there's Lewandowski, like extremely
[1:09:53] effective footballer. He's not the best to watch, but
[1:09:55] he's an effective footballer because bro, this guy made a
[1:09:59] career off the scoring tappings. Like the best players of all
[1:10:01] time, like it or not, score tappings and it's a skill to
[1:10:04] score tappings. It's not random.
[1:10:06] So once you start scoring those tappings where you're
[1:10:08] potentially looking at 50 plus goals in assists seasons, year
[1:10:11] in year it. Depends.
[1:10:12] It really depends where they bring in as reinforcements that
[1:10:14] to support a Yamal. Because right now I feel like
[1:10:17] the team, like how the team is set up it, it's very, very
[1:10:21] dependent on the creativity of Yamal at Rafinia and and those
[1:10:25] that in that attack will learn. But I I completely disagree.
[1:10:28] Rafinia is actually used as more of like a a final line player to
[1:10:32] feed off of Yamal's creativity now, but that's why he's.
[1:10:35] More of a finisher than. Yamal in the creative role, he's
[1:10:38] not in a top end role. You need the players supporting
[1:10:40] him to be kind of replacing him in a sense in that creative.
[1:10:44] Role. But Messi before Pep showed up
[1:10:46] was also kind of like in that kind of role, yes, like a
[1:10:49] facilitator role more than like an actual finisher role.
[1:10:53] But then when Pep got there, he played false 9 and then the rest
[1:10:55] is history, you know? So then, but same trajectory for
[1:10:58] you. I I I I think bro.
[1:11:01] You need you need Yamal to be the creator.
[1:11:03] Imagine imagine Yamal joined Liverpool and was used exactly
[1:11:06] like Mosala like bro you'd be talking about.
[1:11:10] I would not be crazy to say he'd put up the same exact stats as
[1:11:13] Sala, which is 60 goals and assists like that's I would not
[1:11:17] be they would not be crazy to say that.
[1:11:20] I think I think Barcelona and look, he's so young in his
[1:11:24] career. He's 17.
[1:11:25] He he's kind of has like he's still, you can tell there's
[1:11:28] still so much room for growth, which.
[1:11:29] I know. That's so crazy.
[1:11:30] I know. Insanity because he's just so
[1:11:33] much better than everyone and you could tell oh, this brother
[1:11:35] hasn't even scraped the potential.
[1:11:36] So it's it's scary times and this is the only time ever on
[1:11:40] this podcast La Minia Mal glaze that I give unreal is is I will
[1:11:44] never stop La minia Mal glaze. If we speak about anything else,
[1:11:47] Barcelona, I will be the biggest fucking hater you'll ever see in
[1:11:50] life. But La Minia Mal is where I draw
[1:11:52] the line, because this brother is generational.
[1:11:53] Yeah, he definitely is and I I don't see how people watch him,
[1:11:57] even other fans of other teams and don't appreciate him.
[1:12:01] I agree. Like I think he's just an
[1:12:02] unhateable type of player. Bro we still have some Real
[1:12:04] Madrid Dons in the Patreon discord that's still hate this
[1:12:08] brother. How do you how do?
[1:12:09] You. How do you do it, my brother?
[1:12:10] Yeah. How do you do it?
[1:12:11] Because you just. Appreciate it, but it
[1:12:13] appreciate. It you know you're fighting a
[1:12:15] losing battle, that's the issue. Like like, you know, no matter
[1:12:18] what you say, you're losing. Like I can shit talk Arsenal UV
[1:12:22] Barsa, like Barsa as a whole, not Yamal, but just like 'cause
[1:12:26] they always end up embarrassing them so they'll get some.
[1:12:28] Bad results here and. There like leaming Yamal bro.
[1:12:32] Even when he doesn't get in a goal or assist against Inter, he
[1:12:34] still drops a master. Yeah.
[1:12:36] Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Like it's crazy, but.
[1:12:39] And you know what's, you know, what's insane is that we've kind
[1:12:42] of like as a sought, like as a football fan base have kind of
[1:12:47] just completely skipped over the embape Holland conversation and
[1:12:52] kind of just like, OK, we're we I don't want to play with you
[1:12:54] anymore. Yeah, yeah, Yamal now and then.
[1:12:56] Now the question is, OK, who's going to be rivaling Yamal for
[1:12:59] that? Like that one?
[1:13:00] True. And and you know what's crazy is
[1:13:02] that like Pele, Pele always had this on his CV that at the World
[1:13:05] Cup at 18 or whatever, he was the best player at the World
[1:13:08] Cup. And like like he was by far the
[1:13:11] best player at the World Cup. And that's something that Messi
[1:13:13] and Ronaldo couldn't have on their CV that Pele always had
[1:13:16] and was that he won four World Cup.
[1:13:18] He won how many World Cups, 3 or 4?
[1:13:19] I think he might have won four, but whatever.
[1:13:21] Three like 3 guaranteed. That's a crazy.
[1:13:23] Feat the 4th 1. The 4th 1 was the Bajo miss,
[1:13:28] that was the 4th 1:00 and then the fifth one was 01.
[1:13:30] Yeah, that's true. Or 02/02.
[1:13:33] Yeah, yeah. So yeah, low key if Laminia
[1:13:36] Mountain next year, the World Cup, he has the chance to put
[1:13:40] something on his CV. Error defining.
[1:13:42] That Yeah, that's seriously like you're talking.
[1:13:45] Go talk here. Yeah, like, like he was already,
[1:13:48] in my opinion, he should have won the best team.
[1:13:50] Yeah, but. He and he was one of their best
[1:13:52] players. He was one of their best
[1:13:53] players. I mean, it was he.
[1:13:54] Didn't win player. Did he win player of the
[1:13:56] tournament? I don't think he won player of
[1:13:57] the tournament. That sure he did.
[1:13:58] No, Madrich, could it be? Might have been Griezmann,
[1:14:02] Madrich. Oh, it might have.
[1:14:04] Been Modrich, what do I think? Griezmann for some, I think.
[1:14:06] Griezmann. The last one, no.
[1:14:09] Bob Baldor. No, no.
[1:14:11] But at that tournament he won something.
[1:14:14] I'm pretty sure it was Player. In 2018 World Cup.
[1:14:19] But yeah, and BAPA did win also a World Cup at that age.
[1:14:23] Yeah, but bro, he are in my opinion should have been EUR
[1:14:26] player of the tournament, that tournament.
[1:14:29] Yeah, it was. It was Luka Modric.
[1:14:32] Oracle. Oracle shifting hands.
[1:14:35] Yeah, but if that's something that But that's why we always
[1:14:39] put in Bape as oh, can you reach Messi, Ronaldo, even though he
[1:14:42] didn't, but oh, can you? Reach The problem with MBAP is
[1:14:45] that he stayed at PSG too long. I disagree, I don't think it's
[1:14:48] the fact that he stayed at PSG too long, it's just nobody paid
[1:14:51] attention. Doesn't influence the game as
[1:14:53] much as a Yamal, Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar.
[1:14:56] Like he doesn't. He does.
[1:14:57] The common denominator is that it was a Real Madrid Barcelona
[1:14:59] player like he if he moved to a Real Madrid at like.
[1:15:04] Yeah, 20/21/2021 Conversations talking about it would be
[1:15:08] different. Because then because then you
[1:15:09] still had the Benzemas there, you still had like very core
[1:15:13] players that were and they were very good.
[1:15:14] You start cruise there as well. Like you put them in an
[1:15:17] environment like that and then basically hand the torch over.
[1:15:21] Like the conversations different in my opinion.
[1:15:22] I don't think the conversations are done for Mbappe at all.
[1:15:25] Like I think he's he's back on track.
[1:15:27] He's been insane. This.
[1:15:28] It's just for me the conversations are more Suarez
[1:15:34] that level player than it is the top, top tier, which is still
[1:15:38] good. Like, it's still very good,
[1:15:39] tough. Because Yamal, when you're
[1:15:42] watching him, you could just tell how.
[1:15:43] Special. He is Yamal special.
[1:15:45] And Bape was like, he was clinical, but he he gave me
[1:15:48] like. A moment.
[1:15:49] The moment. The Ronaldo vibes Ronaldo more
[1:15:53] in his later years I would say. Ronaldo gave you like, OK, like
[1:15:56] he's a machine, but Messi was like literally like, you're in
[1:15:59] awe of watching him. I didn't really have that.
[1:16:02] I don't have necessarily have that feeling with an Mbappe of
[1:16:05] like. But it'll get you the goals, you
[1:16:07] know? Yeah, it's effective.
[1:16:08] Yes, of course. Extremely effective player, but
[1:16:10] it's more like a like a Zlatan Suarez.
[1:16:15] That's crazy. Like that's that's what I'm
[1:16:18] thinking. Like, I don't, I don't remember
[1:16:19] Mbappe at one point like by maybe in the World Cups, but
[1:16:22] like this year in particular in the Champions League, like
[1:16:25] didn't have me reacting the way Yamal was was having me react.
[1:16:30] But but that's also Real Madrid as a whole this season, I find.
[1:16:32] But and Bap has been there and Bap has scored a hat trick
[1:16:35] against Man City to to help Real Madrid beat them.
[1:16:37] Trick against Barsa too. Hat trick against Barsa, like it
[1:16:40] just goes under the rug because obviously like well, Barcelona
[1:16:43] beat Real Madrid many times this year and Man City they beat but
[1:16:47] I don't know I don't know why I. Think I honestly think like yes
[1:16:51] the amount the amount didn't get a goal or assist, but I think
[1:16:53] that performance against Inter is more memorable than the
[1:16:55] hatchery against Men City. 100% yeah, I'm not.
[1:16:58] I'm not defeating this. I'm just insists like yes, they,
[1:17:01] they obviously help and they're, they're great to get, but bro,
[1:17:05] their performance, yeah. Yeah.
[1:17:07] That's what I'm not that the amount of performance against
[1:17:09] Inter is one of the best ever. Ever.
[1:17:11] I don't know about every. Champions League semi final it
[1:17:13] is. Like it is like one.
[1:17:15] It's like that. I witnessed that, yeah.
[1:17:18] That's like a reference point, like you want someone to like,
[1:17:20] OK, how good was Yamal really? Is it OK?
[1:17:22] Well, the Champions League semi final final.
[1:17:23] Yeah, watch the sandwich the. Final talking about other goats
[1:17:26] of our generation, Vinny dropped the documentary.
[1:17:29] Yeah. Of our general so Yamal lifting
[1:17:30] balloon doors. But Vinny, I didn't get to
[1:17:32] watch. I I didn't, I didn't get to
[1:17:34] watch it. Sadly, I didn't watch he he's
[1:17:37] already getting more fucking lawsuits by Valencia.
[1:17:40] Valencia. I saw that a lawsuit because
[1:17:41] they portrayed Valencia. This is what I think they
[1:17:44] portrayed Valencia's fan base as, just a bunch of racists and
[1:17:47] stuff like the club is just a big racist club.
[1:17:50] He's just documenting his experience something.
[1:17:51] Yeah. And he started crying.
[1:17:53] I I think, yeah, because he was, I think he was explaining that.
[1:17:56] Like no, I saw. The clip I saw the clip, I think
[1:17:59] he was explaining how, like, kids from Brazil, they only have
[1:18:02] the choice to either, like, go sell drugs or, like, go work in
[1:18:06] the street. And.
[1:18:08] And he started breaking down crying, like, after that.
[1:18:10] So like, yeah. But Vinnie's such a goat, man.
[1:18:14] I'm gonna watch that documentary later today.
[1:18:17] Oh, you really got time, huh? Yeah, unemployment.
[1:18:19] Yeah, but Vinnie, bro, Vinnie's an inspiration, yeah.
[1:18:24] Where's this glaze coming? From bro I love Vinnie I love
[1:18:26] Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie a goat for real for real.
[1:18:29] Why? You don't know bro.
[1:18:33] I don't know what. He didn't do anything this year.
[1:18:35] He didn't do anything this year. Do you, do you have a moment
[1:18:39] this year that you remember in particular, Vinnie?
[1:18:42] Like taking over games? Do you remember a moment this
[1:18:46] year in particularly, Valtaro Martinez took over again?
[1:18:49] No, I don't. Yeah, Trivella versus Bayern
[1:18:53] getting getting a goal and drawing a penalty versus
[1:18:56] Barcelona. Drawing a fake penalty.
[1:18:58] No, it was a real penalty. Little loophole.
[1:19:01] Little loophole, but. I'm talking about Vinny here,
[1:19:03] brother. Yeah, this year was not his best
[1:19:05] season. It wasn't as good as his
[1:19:06] Balandor should be. I'm still in Balandor season
[1:19:09] because it. He won the Balandor in my mind.
[1:19:11] Yeah. In your mind that that that.
[1:19:14] I don't know if that wasn't the documentary, but that needs to
[1:19:16] be studied. Sure it was because.
[1:19:19] Where they making? He's the deserved we're.
[1:19:20] Going to see another version of this if let's say PSG win the
[1:19:22] Champions League, they're going to win a trouble and then no
[1:19:25] Balandor winners from there. Well, Yamal should win the bound
[1:19:28] door no matter who wins in the in the Champions League final.
[1:19:31] That's insane. If Dembele, if Dembele, let's
[1:19:35] say PSG win, Yeah, you would actually give it to Dembele.
[1:19:38] There's a conversation. Bro he he tied with fucking
[1:19:41] Mason Greenwood for top goal scorer in league are like
[1:19:43] where's the bar? You know, like like.
[1:19:45] The bar is when you win league. Aren't Yeah, I would tie I'll.
[1:19:49] Give it to Yamal right now. Yeah, no matter what happens in
[1:19:52] the final. But I, I do think like obviously
[1:19:54] if PSG win, that's that's crazy for, for PSG.
[1:19:57] Yes, I would put them belly second just as like yeah
[1:19:59] Congrats bro. Congrats bro, he's.
[1:20:01] He's not. Lifting.
[1:20:02] Trouble. No, you're not.
[1:20:03] Lifting that shit. They're belly lifting a ball and
[1:20:05] door. That's era defining bro.
[1:20:07] Like like, imagine, let's just say, let's just say, OK, this is
[1:20:11] knock on wood. That.
[1:20:14] That you gave the dollar to Dumbbell and you said, look,
[1:20:17] Yamal's gonna get another one and he gets like a career ending
[1:20:19] injury. And he never wins ever again.
[1:20:21] Bro, that would be not that wouldn't.
[1:20:24] Travesty. And it would it.
[1:20:26] Would because you're giving you're giving Dumbbelli an award
[1:20:28] based on the fact that you think, oh, Yamal's gonna win 1.
[1:20:30] So what? Let's just give it to Dumbbelli.
[1:20:32] No, it's not how it works. Yamal was the best player in the
[1:20:34] world this season. He deserves his flowers.
[1:20:37] He should get the the the Balboa in my.
[1:20:39] Perspective, I think right now, yeah.
[1:20:42] You know who doesn't deserve the Balandor?
[1:20:44] Bologna. Anyone that played on Bologna or
[1:20:46] Milan? Why?
[1:20:47] Because Milan. Milan loses to Bologna.
[1:20:50] Just another week. In the Copa Italia final typical
[1:20:53] week of Milan. Two losses in one week for
[1:20:55] Milan. Amazing time for the POD.
[1:20:59] Rough week. Layout didn't start either of
[1:21:00] them. Stupidity.
[1:21:03] There's got to be ego involved. Bro it's not stupidity when no
[1:21:06] coach. Both Portuguese by the way, both
[1:21:09] Portuguese coaches. They didn't want to start the
[1:21:11] brother. It it makes no sense to me
[1:21:14] because the. When when's the time gone?
[1:21:17] When is he going to leave? I started seeing Athletico
[1:21:19] Madrid links. Yeah, good luck with Simone.
[1:21:22] Yeah, you think Layout running under Zemeone I.
[1:21:24] Think one second conscious hour button.
[1:21:25] Yeah, just get ready for Zemeone.
[1:21:27] I don't know nothing, nothing's nothing's going to plan right
[1:21:30] now. I think everything's crumbling
[1:21:31] and this is the final days of of the season where just
[1:21:35] everything, the the path of the season literally went like this
[1:21:39] very clearly. And the the Bologna Cope Italia.
[1:21:43] Bologna played a good game. Like you can't even say that,
[1:21:46] oh, we deserve this. The referees were against us.
[1:21:49] So are they playing Conference League or Europa League next
[1:21:50] season? Guaranteed who?
[1:21:51] Bologna. Yeah.
[1:21:52] Europa League OK, because they won a couple.
[1:21:55] Yeah, yeah. I just didn't know what the the
[1:21:56] distribution was, but that's that's also crazy.
[1:21:59] Crystal Palace are going to become like fucking 7.
[1:22:01] Nothing but yeah. Bologna didn't have a good
[1:22:03] showing in Champions League this year, so.
[1:22:05] Bro if Crystal Palace played Bologna in Europa League, that's
[1:22:08] a watch. I think you'd be surprised.
[1:22:10] That's a watch a lot. I don't know, I, I feel like, I
[1:22:12] feel like this core, this core of Bologna was like, like we
[1:22:16] spoke to someone that yeah, that understood Bologna and he, he
[1:22:19] said that like this team, the core is they, they, he, he never
[1:22:22] saw a belief like this. Well, even like Caliphierdi was
[1:22:25] Facetiming them after the game, like even though he's gone in
[1:22:27] London, like he's hasn't played in a year for Bologna, he's
[1:22:30] still Facetiming the team after and like celebrating with.
[1:22:33] Them, I'm sure they're all friends and.
[1:22:35] But Caliphierdi was only there for what?
[1:22:36] To one year? Yeah, like he, it's not like he
[1:22:39] has like. This big, deep.
[1:22:41] Appreciation for Bologna. He's a Roma fan too.
[1:22:43] Like, it's not even like like. But.
[1:22:47] One year there was the buy in that is required to just be part
[1:22:53] of Bologna like the squad. Yeah, I get it.
[1:22:56] Yeah, they built, they built a very good team.
[1:22:58] And honestly, they, the vibes around Bologna are amazing.
[1:23:00] Like the the just the, the sporting director, the things
[1:23:03] that he's done for them, the the pieces that he's put together,
[1:23:06] It's, it's a very good project. But he has been doing it at a
[1:23:09] couple of the teams too. Before, but Atlanta Queva
[1:23:11] Verona. Yeah, like, and those were,
[1:23:13] those were when the teams were good.
[1:23:14] Milan sporting director. I love him.
[1:23:16] That's the one I would. You will take your watch
[1:23:18] sporting there. I know I will be happy.
[1:23:20] I know I will. I would like Sartori.
[1:23:22] I saw them at length this morning.
[1:23:24] Saw them again this. Sartori's very good.
[1:23:26] Sartori's very good. You've got it, you've got it.
[1:23:28] I think I think you're closer to getting tarted than we're.
[1:23:31] Closer to fucking crumbling even more, Yeah, rather with no with
[1:23:34] this Milan got. Relegated.
[1:23:35] This week we don't. Let's not forget that What
[1:23:37] happened? Milan got relegated.
[1:23:39] Milan or the? Milan got relegated.
[1:23:43] As a club, yes. As a.
[1:23:44] Club Milan got relegated. Yeah, even that, that complete
[1:23:47] failure of a project even there, like there's no playing in Sede
[1:23:50] D just makes no sense. Is it true that that at the
[1:23:53] beginning of the season when they started off Milan Fututo,
[1:23:57] it was one of Ibrahimovic's boys that was coach of of the Milan?
[1:24:00] Fututi no, he he gave this this MLS guy who Ibra worked with at
[1:24:05] La Galaxy, the the mission to bring Milan Fututo to Sede B And
[1:24:11] instead he did the cleared D and 50 million spent on this youth
[1:24:15] team. And obviously these are kids,
[1:24:18] like they're kids playing in professional league.
[1:24:20] Yeah, of course. So. 15 mil.
[1:24:21] How does the 15 mil come? Like they spent on players.
[1:24:24] There's a Silvano Vos that came from IX for like 4 mil.
[1:24:28] They they, they picked the little pieces here and there for
[1:24:31] a couple of millions here, a couple.
[1:24:33] He got it up here. Yeah, Silvano Vos played there.
[1:24:36] I forgot that guy even existed. I know he barely played this
[1:24:39] season. He has like not many appearances
[1:24:43] and you have people like Kamada who barely played for Milan
[1:24:46] Futura as well. He's just stinking it up on the
[1:24:48] bench of of Milan. Yeah, because because I don't
[1:24:51] know, maybe the board, board, whatever's left of the board,
[1:24:54] everything believes that like Kamada would be, it'd be more
[1:24:57] beneficial for him to stay on the senior team bench than I
[1:25:00] understand. I I don't.
[1:25:01] I never really agreed with. That, but you know you could be
[1:25:03] on the bench and also play these games, right?
[1:25:04] Yeah, but you, I, I also see that like you could also train
[1:25:07] with the first team and then totally with game time with the
[1:25:10] Milan Futura. It does it like some stupid
[1:25:12] decisions, some across the board.
[1:25:13] Some very boneheaded decision here.
[1:25:15] What? All yours bro.
[1:25:17] So done of us. Breaking news, Matteo Moretto.
[1:25:21] No, I love. Man United are monitoring David
[1:25:23] de Fritesi. Modern all you want.
[1:25:25] Oh. Yeah, what are you, 5 million,
[1:25:29] brother? If he scores in ACL five, Oh my
[1:25:31] God. 5 million skyrocket value pound.
[1:25:34] No. Oh.
[1:25:35] That's going to be bad. You're actually going to make
[1:25:37] profit on frites? Yeah, I.
[1:25:38] Can't believe it? Another man going back to saying
[1:25:41] you're fucking Sylvanova bullshit.
[1:25:43] I'm not saying anything about Sylvanova, I'm just saying
[1:25:45] failure in the youth development from Elan, failure in the season
[1:25:50] senior. Team management has been
[1:25:52] atrocious coach. Failure players, nobody
[1:25:55] improved. Maybe Reindeers had a very lot
[1:25:57] of digression, all digression. And we were in such a good place
[1:26:01] last year where it's like you could have made the jump.
[1:26:04] You fire our coach Pioli and you, you fire all this
[1:26:07] management, you could actually build something great and they
[1:26:10] just went backwards and now we're in a rebuild season next.
[1:26:12] Year, this was like you saw the development of Milan over the
[1:26:14] last maybe three or Four Seasons where it was kind of like going
[1:26:17] in the right direction. Yeah, you the somewhat linear,
[1:26:19] the core was defined like you got a definitive core and you're
[1:26:23] just building around that and then just want like I've never
[1:26:27] seen like just consecutive LS so fast where it was just like
[1:26:33] every decision Milan did a few later.
[1:26:37] Not even a full season, the season's still going just the
[1:26:39] the next season. Yeah, wrong, wrong, wrong,
[1:26:42] wrong, wrong, wrong. All wrong decisions.
[1:26:45] Yeah. And then no sporting director
[1:26:47] you have even out there that's like he's based, he's just an
[1:26:50] ambassador at the end of the day for Milan.
[1:26:52] But he he's propped up as a guy that has a lot of power at the
[1:26:55] club. You cannot have that.
[1:26:57] Everyone needs to know their roles and everyone needs to
[1:26:59] understand there's no one bigger than the club.
[1:27:01] I feel like with an Ibra it's almost a feeling like he almost
[1:27:04] believes that the club without him is is not good.
[1:27:08] I don't know, but somebody needs to take account for all these
[1:27:10] things and I think firings need to take place.
[1:27:13] For Milani out. The management I don't.
[1:27:15] Know when I I wouldn't want to see.
[1:27:17] Either figure it out I I don't, I can't, I don't know, you know
[1:27:19] what I mean, I. Really wouldn't want to see Ibra
[1:27:21] there next season. You need to put the people who
[1:27:23] know what they're doing in the right places.
[1:27:24] But I think we we talked about this before.
[1:27:27] It's just right now the Europa League final against, it's a
[1:27:30] Europa League final, the Cup Italia final against Bologna
[1:27:33] would have, would have made things a little bit better.
[1:27:35] You know you're playing Europa League next.
[1:27:37] Year the morale of the team would have been better.
[1:27:38] It would have helped, but after that I couldn't even tell you
[1:27:43] who's I watch Milan nowadays and I don't even know who's the best
[1:27:47] player anymore. You know like reindeers has has
[1:27:49] good performances, but like Leo is I I can't expect much more
[1:27:53] from Leo. Like I don't know who's going to
[1:27:55] show up. I don't think such a bipolar
[1:27:56] team I. Don't think Leo expects more
[1:27:58] from that team, honestly. It's, it's, it's pretty sad
[1:28:02] honestly, because I think Milan. Manager.
[1:28:04] What manager can you even? Sorry, go ahead.
[1:28:06] No, it was just more like, it's sad because I felt like Milan
[1:28:09] and Inter were kind of like the more so Inter, but Milan was
[1:28:13] we're getting to that point of like it's going to be a really
[1:28:16] competitive front three, like with Milan, Inter and then
[1:28:19] whoever else. What, so you're sad that Milan
[1:28:22] are shit? No, it's the league.
[1:28:25] Needs a good UVA. Well, the league needs a good
[1:28:27] UVA. We know.
[1:28:28] I, I think, I think, OK, that's, that's another discussion,
[1:28:30] that's he's being unbiased. Though he's being invited.
[1:28:33] Yes, obviously it's Milan Med that till I die right when we
[1:28:38] when there's. Games and balls.
[1:28:40] To some extent, but for the overall health of the league
[1:28:44] that my team is in, you need a very strong me line, you need a
[1:28:48] very strong Juventus. That's crazy.
[1:28:50] I don't think that I want a very strong Bologna, I want a very
[1:28:53] strong Roma. But.
[1:28:54] Yeah, that would you can. Fucking go in the mud.
[1:28:56] But that would benefit the league too.
[1:28:58] Yeah, but you have to look at it at an unbiased grand scheme of
[1:29:01] things from a casual perspective that doesn't have any ties or
[1:29:05] affinity to the league. Needs a good UV.
[1:29:07] The league needs a good Manchester United, right?
[1:29:09] No. No, we don't.
[1:29:10] We need a good, good Crystal Palace.
[1:29:12] Need a good Nottingham Forest actually, but yeah.
[1:29:14] But yeah, at the end of the day, I think Bologna deserved to win
[1:29:17] and I think the feeling going into this game was that they
[1:29:19] were gonna win. Firms what?
[1:29:20] What manager do you want I. Told you an Italian one now.
[1:29:25] No, what helps now is that he's Italian.
[1:29:28] Just choke. The league choke the league.
[1:29:30] They choke the league, choke the league.
[1:29:32] What helps now is that at least Milan is in no competition, so
[1:29:35] we can expect the manager to actually hop in.
[1:29:38] The Napoli. The Napoli way hop in and and
[1:29:41] have a blueprint. Set out, you know what we should
[1:29:42] do next week? We should come with like a list
[1:29:45] of Italian. So we said this before, OK,
[1:29:47] Remember when Fonseca, like, oh fuck, if we get Fonseca, this is
[1:29:50] horrible. But then by the end of the start
[1:29:51] of the season, we were like, oh, Fonseca, you're creating a
[1:29:53] project. Yeah, he's got.
[1:29:54] Yeah. So by next week we should come
[1:29:56] with a list of all the Italian managers that Milan could
[1:29:58] possibly get and we asked firms would this be good or bad?
[1:30:02] Move and we we keep it half of it yes and so that when we go
[1:30:04] back and when we look back yes and we say OK this is what you.
[1:30:08] Said about him. So that when next year when he
[1:30:10] goes in saying, bro, we're gonna make top four this year or we're
[1:30:12] gonna. He said he was gonna relegate
[1:30:13] you. No, no, no.
[1:30:15] It's like you go into he's gonna say top four and it's like, OK,
[1:30:17] but you said about this manager that I like that, I mean.
[1:30:22] We could do it if you want to do it for Manchester United as well
[1:30:24] because top three, top 4 go. Bro, I'm not going in.
[1:30:28] I'm not going in saying top four.
[1:30:29] I need to see the transfer first.
[1:30:31] I need to see the transfer. You you get a little benefit of
[1:30:33] the doubt. Yeah, but unfortunately Milan
[1:30:36] out of all Europe too, yeah. So gonna have to stick to just
[1:30:40] the domestic cups and. I'll offer you a quick e-mail
[1:30:42] for Leo. No, since you're SO.
[1:30:44] You think he leaves? You think any if you were to see
[1:30:47] any players now because you're officially out of Europe?
[1:30:49] Yeah, transfer. Who do you see like handing in
[1:30:51] their transfer reindeers? I'm not even kidding.
[1:30:54] Reindeers tail gone. Manion gone.
[1:30:57] Rangers, I feel like he would stay.
[1:30:59] I feel like he. He's linked to Man City.
[1:31:01] Like yeah, but Man City makes champions.
[1:31:04] Yeah, but reindeer's like, I feel like, well, I'd hope you
[1:31:07] could see it as if I was in reindeer's position.
[1:31:10] OK, yes, it sucks that you guys aren't in Europe, but you could
[1:31:12] also be the star. So you could be no, but you
[1:31:15] could go get paid double somewhere else.
[1:31:17] Yeah, I would. I would actually.
[1:31:19] Compete for titles. You, you need to also, you need
[1:31:22] to also think the the team is a mess right now.
[1:31:25] The coach, you don't even know who who's who is going to be
[1:31:28] Milan's next coach. Like you don't know what the
[1:31:29] project is. So you you have these teams
[1:31:32] lurking around with better projects, you're considering
[1:31:35] those teams. You know what I mean?
[1:31:36] This is getting very close to banter era conversations.
[1:31:39] I think here was the banter era. Yeah, we don't know but but.
[1:31:42] It's the after effects of because I've seen it with Inter.
[1:31:46] It's a rebuild. I'm telling you, next season is
[1:31:48] a rebuild for your Stars lead. Your stars, the mass exodus and
[1:31:51] then it's you're stuck trying to get young players on on a cheap
[1:31:54] because it's like that. You have to kind of resort to
[1:31:58] value instead of proving because you're not in Europe but.
[1:32:01] We've been doing that. Unfortunately, the league needs
[1:32:03] a good meal. And a good.
[1:32:04] UAI don't think that's controversial at all.
[1:32:08] I really don't think that's controversial at all.
[1:32:10] I think the league needs a good Napoli to win the title.
[1:32:13] Yeah, that's what we need. Just kidding, we need a good
[1:32:16] inter. We need an extravaganza bonanza,
[1:32:18] yeah. You better hope to win the
[1:32:19] Champions League to keep Seria's fucking repertoire up.
[1:32:24] Inter like this with the City of Reputations.
[1:32:26] Stopping the bus like spider man, Yeah.
[1:32:29] So what's happening with Inter in the final day though?
[1:32:31] You got. Since we're there.
[1:32:33] Predictions. This was such a such a morale
[1:32:38] defeat to me. I was so dead.
[1:32:42] Oh, the lots of game. Because this weekend the context
[1:32:45] was that if Inter beat Lazio and Napoli dropped points, Inter
[1:32:49] would be first heading into the final game and it would be up to
[1:32:52] Inter basically. In your hands.
[1:32:54] That our destiny's in our own hands.
[1:32:55] We just have to win the our final game and we win the champ,
[1:32:59] we win the. Champions League.
[1:33:00] Yeah, champion. We win the Scudetto, but Parma
[1:33:03] did their job because Parma versus Napoli.
[1:33:06] Think about it, but when? How might when the 31st?
[1:33:10] In two weeks time you could either have the greatest inter
[1:33:13] season that you will ever see in your lifetime.
[1:33:15] Or the worst. Or a trophy less fucking season.
[1:33:17] And as a true interista, I say that just think about the worst
[1:33:20] for now. Don't.
[1:33:21] Don't give yourself the hope. So you have Napoli winning the
[1:33:24] Scudetto. Napoli winning the Scudetto and
[1:33:27] PSU winning. That's crazy because I have
[1:33:28] fucking Inter winning this double.
[1:33:30] The real Inter, the real Inter fan, the real Inter fan.
[1:33:35] Keep talking bro. Keep knocking.
[1:33:37] The real fucking Interfan. Agreed on the on the Man United
[1:33:41] badge, but. Yeah, yeah, But listen
[1:33:44] regardless. Regardless, Parma did their job.
[1:33:47] Tied Napoli, Napoli dropped points, Inter just needed to win
[1:33:50] versus Lazio, end up giving a stupid penalty away in the 89th
[1:33:52] minute. Thank you.
[1:33:53] Be sick. Karate BC sick.
[1:33:55] But he scored, so you can't. Even he's not a good defender.
[1:33:58] He he's not a good. He actually did very well this
[1:34:00] this game, I'm not gonna lie, he actually defended.
[1:34:03] Really. Well, I'm just, I'm just
[1:34:04] backtracking for when you said Bisek is not a defender.
[1:34:07] He's not good at defending. I said no, he's a defender.
[1:34:09] He's a, he's not a good defender, but every other aspect
[1:34:12] of his game is very. But he's a defender.
[1:34:14] Yeah, I get it. But Inzaghi's.
[1:34:16] Onan is not a good shot stopper. No, Onan is not a goalkeeper,
[1:34:19] but is. Anyways, you can't say anything
[1:34:22] out of context on box to box. Yeah, no, but going into this
[1:34:26] final match day right now, Napoli are up.
[1:34:28] Oh my God. So anyways, Napoli are ahead by
[1:34:34] one point. Yeah, that's the drop points as
[1:34:35] well. So nothing has changed since
[1:34:37] last week. But the schedule has.
[1:34:39] Schedule has so now the final game for Napoli and enter will
[1:34:44] be decided on Friday. Friday.
[1:34:46] This Friday. This Friday the 23rd.
[1:34:48] Watch along. That's crazy.
[1:34:51] So. So May 23rd Napoli and into a
[1:34:54] play at the same time to decide who wins the title and if both
[1:34:59] teams end up tied again. Like if they if they end up
[1:35:03] tied. But how?
[1:35:04] How could they if Napoli? If Napoli lose and Inter draw.
[1:35:08] Yeah, well, it's gonna be crazy. But I, I.
[1:35:09] I don't, so you need Napoli, so watch.
[1:35:12] Along. I need Napoli to draw.
[1:35:13] So watch along Friday, watch along Sunday, and then watch
[1:35:16] along Monday also. Why Monday?
[1:35:18] For the extravaganza bonanza final.
[1:35:21] Oh, why they would play on Monday.
[1:35:22] They would play on Monday if it goes and then.
[1:35:24] Champions League on Sunday extravaganza bonanza end game.
[1:35:28] That's that's perfect. No, we need that it.
[1:35:31] Won't happen. I'm telling you, it won't
[1:35:33] happen. They're playing Calgary the the
[1:35:35] Marotta already did his voodoo against Calgary.
[1:35:37] Calgary was playing tiki taka ball.
[1:35:39] Right. I'm telling you it will not
[1:35:40] happen. Calgary will probably.
[1:35:42] Lose a jello goal and. As soon as Napoli as soon as
[1:35:46] Napoli score one goal, you could expect the most heinous block
[1:35:51] known history in known to mankind from Antonio Conte I.
[1:35:56] I really need the the playoff. I really, I really need it too.
[1:35:59] And he's an interpret. Really.
[1:36:01] No. This is what's gonna do if that.
[1:36:02] If that happens, well, that's what we're gonna do.
[1:36:05] We're gonna set you guys up here here, OK?
[1:36:07] You, Paula and Varvar. Yeah.
[1:36:09] You can watch the game here. OK.
[1:36:10] And you? And then out there'll be a
[1:36:12] separate camera of me in another room where I could watch it
[1:36:15] myself. A.
[1:36:16] Rage room OK, my rage room the rage room that you keep breaks
[1:36:19] everything. Destroy everything I'll.
[1:36:20] Watch it in a separate room. Be a SEC fuck.
[1:36:25] I'll watch it in a separate room so nothing.
[1:36:26] The set doesn't get destroyed if something happens.
[1:36:29] Right, because the soprano, the soprano person is still intact.
[1:36:31] Everything's back. Up.
[1:36:32] Well, thank you. We're fine, but I don't think
[1:36:35] it's going to happen. I think it'll be decided on
[1:36:38] Friday. I'm top 4.
[1:36:39] And then we'll have a separate room for Paula, for Juventus.
[1:36:42] Oh yes, if they do make top four, that's big.
[1:36:44] Are we? Is that a live stream?
[1:36:45] Yeah. Sunday.
[1:36:47] Yeah. Get ready bro.
[1:36:48] They play Venezia. We really need Gianluca Bucio if
[1:36:51] you're listening the only like Pro Football player who follows
[1:36:53] us on Instagram. Is he?
[1:36:55] No, one of the only. One of the only.
[1:36:57] Please like we need something here.
[1:36:59] Yeah, like I won't have an interview.
[1:37:00] Right now. Like I really, really, really
[1:37:02] yeah. Like this would be a good time.
[1:37:04] If if Buschio ends up ruining UVA's Champions League.
[1:37:07] I'm flying to Venetta. Where we are flying to Venezia.
[1:37:10] And I'm shaking his ass. Shaking his hand personally.
[1:37:12] Yes, GOAT. Yeah.
[1:37:15] And but I find it tough that UVA is not making tough so.
[1:37:18] So how does the table look for Cydia?
[1:37:19] Realistically, who could make that final spot?
[1:37:22] It's you. Roll my lots UVA.
[1:37:25] And Fiorentina? No chance.
[1:37:26] No, but it's in Yuva's hands because if Yuva wins then it's
[1:37:29] fine, yeah. But John Luca Busio got
[1:37:30] something for. US John Luca Busio better have
[1:37:32] something. So.
[1:37:33] He don't want to have. Some I really want Roma and
[1:37:35] Seal. Yeah.
[1:37:36] I think this Roma team, there's a looks good, there's a feeling
[1:37:39] to it that I I really like. I think Ranieri adds to that
[1:37:41] feeling. But yeah, it's it's actually
[1:37:43] pretty, pretty nice to watch Roma anymore.
[1:37:45] Soft spot for him, yeah. For sure, for sure.
[1:37:48] Who are they getting as manager next year?
[1:37:49] We still don't. Know Italian one.
[1:37:52] They were linked to Alegre, the Fabregas.
[1:37:54] The Fabregas is not leaving. Yeah, you might go to the Lever
[1:37:56] Cuisine still. That's a good fit.
[1:37:58] I thought, I thought he agreed like it was officially he was
[1:38:00] going to stay in Como, no. Stills and also final topic for
[1:38:04] today, Ligard is looking to change its way of determining
[1:38:08] their champion. Now, I don't know how you guys
[1:38:10] feel about it. It's kind of feels like
[1:38:11] Americanized. I think they already do this in
[1:38:13] Belgium, but I'm going to pull up the table right now and tell
[1:38:16] you. So basically the way that they
[1:38:18] would set up is, yes, PSG would win the like league regular
[1:38:22] season equivalent basically. So they'd be first, but then
[1:38:25] they would play nice in a playoff in the first round on
[1:38:28] the left and then on the right, Marseille would play Monaco.
[1:38:31] So it's basically turns into like a cup competition after the
[1:38:35] season. Pretty sick.
[1:38:37] So I don't know if for leagues like league Yarn where it's so
[1:38:40] lopsided, it might actually help bring fans because.
[1:38:45] There's one more to play. For it, yeah, it adds stakes to
[1:38:48] the games. Like even that fourth spot
[1:38:49] becomes it's not just like a Europa League.
[1:38:51] It ends up being like, OK, like if you end up 4th, you actually
[1:38:54] have a chance, albeit it's a large chance, like wide chance,
[1:38:58] but you can have a chance to actually win the league.
[1:39:01] But The thing is, is that I think in in football, it's very
[1:39:05] hard to grasp the concept of like your whole like I feel like
[1:39:08] they'd see it as like your season means nothing.
[1:39:11] Yeah, 'cause if you get to top six then you're fine.
[1:39:13] Right. Like if you if you come first
[1:39:15] and then you end up cropping out in the final or whatever, then
[1:39:18] it's like, whoa, the season was for nothing.
[1:39:19] Like PSG. OK, the issue with PSG right now
[1:39:23] is that they might fucking it might come end of like January.
[1:39:28] They already have a top four spot secured.
[1:39:30] They could just not even play the second-half of the season.
[1:39:33] True. Focus on Champions League, yeah.
[1:39:35] And then it's like, so it might help you play your starters in
[1:39:37] the semi final, in the final there.
[1:39:38] Yeah, it's tough. I they're obviously they're
[1:39:41] trying to curb the the lead that has and they're trying to make
[1:39:45] it more competitive. Do I think this is a step
[1:39:47] closer? Sure.
[1:39:48] But at the end of the day, I think, yeah.
[1:39:51] Like what Varvara said, it gives PSG the opportunity to just like
[1:39:54] load up until like Jan, Feb secure top four.
[1:39:57] And it's like whoever you face, regardless, chances are you
[1:39:59] already beat them in the league. So you just have to do it again.
[1:40:02] I don't know. I would like to hear from
[1:40:06] Belgium fans, if there are any Belgium fans out there, how the
[1:40:09] playoff you think the playoff is better for your league or worse,
[1:40:13] you think has it made the league more competitive or has it made
[1:40:16] it a bit more boring it? Made my FMC very interesting.
[1:40:21] Very interesting and confusing. I would I would want to see, I
[1:40:24] would want to see how like PSG is the test dummy, the league
[1:40:29] are is the test dummy. I don't want to see this in the
[1:40:32] Prem anytime soon. I because it's still
[1:40:35] competitive. I think if the league, the
[1:40:37] league format, if the league's actually competitive, it's a lot
[1:40:40] better than playoff. But then then why not focus on
[1:40:43] like investment? Why focus on the actual way of
[1:40:46] playing the games? Like what do you mean like find
[1:40:49] foreign investment in in these teams that are going bankrupt,
[1:40:51] that don't have money to to buy players and try to attract
[1:40:54] better players. Do a whole marketing thing to
[1:40:58] but it's just I think it's the problem is just the league like
[1:41:01] it's not the quality there. I don't know, I think, I think
[1:41:04] PSG have such a stranglehold on that league, like even behind.
[1:41:07] But look at that for an investment.
[1:41:09] Qataris came in, made, made the. US investors who came into Lee
[1:41:13] yarn like they're Lyon is owned by an American investor like
[1:41:17] they're all owned by American nieces owned by Sergeant
[1:41:19] Radcliffe. Yeah.
[1:41:20] It's like you're not talking about small owners of these
[1:41:22] teams. It's just bro like PSG have such
[1:41:26] a strangle. But if you look at these teams,
[1:41:28] they're all feeders like they're they're all teams that like you
[1:41:31] look at a. Chelsea, even if you pump a lot
[1:41:34] of money in, it's not even worth it like it's not because you're
[1:41:39] not if there's there's no city in France big enough also like
[1:41:42] that has enough like market an opportunity.
[1:41:45] Yeah, Monaco would be pretty cool, but like once again, there
[1:41:49] is there really year round money like it they come and go, I
[1:41:53] think and and the people that are there are just billionaires.
[1:41:55] They're not like, it's not like they're, they're actual fans.
[1:41:58] Yeah, exactly. So it's like.
[1:42:00] It's tough. It's a very expensive place to
[1:42:02] live to like, yeah, it's the France.
[1:42:05] France is a very particular country to play in because I
[1:42:09] feel like the team, the, the difference between the teams,
[1:42:11] like in terms of like where they're where they are could
[1:42:14] drastically change the way you live and stuff like that.
[1:42:16] Like, yeah, go from a bustling town to like middle of nowhere,
[1:42:20] similar to Italy. But Italy, I feel like it's
[1:42:23] different in the sense that everywhere is nice.
[1:42:26] Versus hating on France. That's.
[1:42:27] Kind of. I have no no issue with friends,
[1:42:29] never been so. France is everywhere is nice.
[1:42:32] Also if Italy everywhere is nice I'm sure if you ask a non
[1:42:36] Italian to go to the fucking middle of I don't even know like
[1:42:40] a. Body.
[1:42:41] I guess I don't. Know yeah, they'll say this
[1:42:42] place is fucking dog shit yeah. The body is very.
[1:42:45] Nice body is actually very gorgeous like I.
[1:42:47] Don't too. Italian for neutral.
[1:42:49] For anyone. But no, no, I'm not saying
[1:42:52] France is ugly. I'm not saying France is ugly.
[1:42:55] I'm not saying France is. I'm saying that like there's
[1:42:58] towns like Salerno was able to, yeah.
[1:43:01] Salerno is not like Salerno is beautiful for me.
[1:43:03] Yeah, but they were able to bring in a rebury.
[1:43:05] They were still able to bring in players that have a name.
[1:43:08] Yeah, to it. Do you get what I mean?
[1:43:10] No. OK, you don't get.
[1:43:11] No, no, he's right. No, because there's like
[1:43:13] everybody went to that have been able to, yeah.
[1:43:15] But there's teams in league aren't that we're able to like
[1:43:17] that have had big players play for them.
[1:43:19] But we're talking about like the bottom level team, let's say
[1:43:21] that is not in Syria anymore. I know.
[1:43:25] I know like it's, you know what I mean?
[1:43:27] Like. Montpellier fucking they.
[1:43:29] Were a big team. 16th St. That'sien.
[1:43:31] What do they have though, that joined them?
[1:43:33] Rennar. 12th. OK, but who did they have that
[1:43:36] joined? Like I'm talking about like a
[1:43:38] recently. Yeah, like he's saying or is
[1:43:40] that, is that what you're saying?
[1:43:42] Like a big star joining? Yeah, like a big even if he's
[1:43:44] falling off. They go to they go to Florence.
[1:43:46] Yeah, they go to Florence. It's a mid table team.
[1:43:47] They go to Salerno. They and a couple used to go to
[1:43:50] Palermo. Palermo when they were in Seria
[1:43:52] had very good, very good players like these.
[1:43:55] Are all towns these? Are all yes, but the not only
[1:43:59] Italy's the most beautiful country.
[1:44:00] I didn't say that. I didn't say that like.
[1:44:03] France has nice cities everywhere.
[1:44:05] I know, but he's saying. He's saying like a Montpellier
[1:44:07] can't attract the Ribery, you know what I mean?
[1:44:10] Is that what you're saying? Yes.
[1:44:11] OK, my thing. I kind of agree with that.
[1:44:13] But Ribery played at Marseille like it's 'cause that's why.
[1:44:16] Like he wouldn't. I don't know if he joined
[1:44:18] another French team. Yeah, that was just an example I
[1:44:21] brought him. Yeah.
[1:44:22] I mean, I'm not trying to blow it up to fucking something.
[1:44:24] You're saying I'm this is this is a good.
[1:44:25] Topic. I feel like this is French.
[1:44:26] People, it's just like, I feel like it there's some areas that
[1:44:30] are more attracted to play in than than others.
[1:44:33] That's. All a little blue, but yeah.
[1:44:35] You tell me if you want to want to play in Como, Yeah, no
[1:44:37] problem. Yeah.
[1:44:38] Sounds good bro. So Jamie Vardy to Salanitana is
[1:44:40] what I'm. Having Vardy to Como.
[1:44:41] But just look at Joe Hart to Torino made no sense but they.
[1:44:44] Haven't, but he loved it. Yeah.
[1:44:46] Nice. He loved it.
[1:44:47] You know Joe Hart. Actually saw him in Torino.
