## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome back to the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 71 and the Premier League is truly back.
[0:05] We had some bangers and we're going to talk about it today.
[0:07] We had Liverpool and Manchester City with some very big results
[0:11] this weekend. And Manchester United are robbed
[0:13] of three points by the referee. What a disgrace.
[0:16] All that and more on the Boxer Box Podcast.
[0:19] Let's go. You ain't going home.
[0:21] Your Honor, I'm sorry. Your Honor, I'm sorry.
[0:27] On the pitch and Bangula starts. Our next game tomorrow, would
[0:38] you rather celebrate and Buffett?
[0:39] Right, saliva. Right now you wouldn't.
[0:44] When you lie. Farber, What is that intro
[0:51] Robbed. Robbed of three points.
[0:53] We'll get to it later, but in the moment I actually didn't see
[0:57] the pen shout. But after further analysis on on
[1:00] my my fellow United fans on X they you're associated with
[1:05] Twitter tactical, Rob. They we have a Twitter tactical.
[1:08] Do you know what instance he's referring to?
[1:09] No, do you know what instance he's referring to?
[1:11] Not sure. Me neither.
[1:13] And that we, all four of us watched it so.
[1:15] It's OK. It's OK.
[1:17] We'll take the three points. This week.
[1:20] Busy week, very busy week, Very. Busy week, very busy week, very
[1:23] busy week. There was just a small little
[1:25] thing. I mean, we don't want to, we're
[1:27] not going to plug everything all the time, but we did have our
[1:31] merch drop. If you guys were wondering what
[1:32] firms and Millie are wearing, we're wearing it today.
[1:34] Do our merch drop? This is the product of months of
[1:38] of work behind the scenes. When did we start planning this
[1:41] all out? Oh, I don't think you want to
[1:42] give it out. It was way too long.
[1:44] Yeah, like I'm saying, I'll Millie, you could correct me on
[1:49] this because you were the one that really started it in nine
[1:52] months, 10 months. I don't know if it was generous,
[1:58] generous. Listen, it was it was a long
[1:59] time, long time coming. But the beginning, you got to
[2:02] think, yeah, you got to think it's four guys that never
[2:04] dropped. Like we never did merch before.
[2:06] So like people may assume like, oh, just, you know, slap a slap
[2:10] a logo on a T-shirt, call it a day from the skit.
[2:13] Exactly. Line shirt out of the skit.
[2:15] But it's really not because every like unless you have
[2:17] someone like coaching you through the whole thing, you
[2:19] gotta figure out, well, you gotta get someone to make the
[2:21] design. Yeah, you gotta figure out
[2:22] someone to give you the the actual like a.
[2:24] Clothing fire and. Everything.
[2:25] You gotta get someone to like, maybe print, you gotta get a
[2:27] website developer, you gotta get all these things.
[2:29] And these are four of us that never did.
[2:31] This but but also like we wanna make sure we put the best
[2:35] product out for you guys, right? It's another it's a problem.
[2:37] Yeah, like if we wanted to just like get a random hoodie, random
[2:41] T-shirt, put our logo on on it, We wanted to get like a it is
[2:44] our it is our logo design, but it's it's not just like the OR
[2:48] like we felt like if you put on a regular black hoodie or our
[2:50] printed logo wouldn't be that nice.
[2:53] We find a nice logo and we wanted to stress the quality of
[2:57] it. We we went through so many
[3:00] different clothes, supplies, but.
[3:04] I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding.
[3:06] You go out, you go out with this shirt.
[3:08] That would be very. If a girl.
[3:09] If a girl. Puts her hand on you.
[3:10] Is magnet. What?
[3:11] You laughing? You giggle.
[3:13] It's true. You wanna hold?
[3:14] It's true that it's. True for this getting some
[3:18] action. You got the personal.
[3:19] Experience. I'm telling you, if if anybody
[3:21] puts a hand on you and they feel it, they will not want to.
[3:24] They won't stop touching. You.
[3:25] I agree. And then when we were making it
[3:27] like we also wanted something that we'd wear it like all the
[3:30] time, Like I'm genuinely going to wear it all the time because
[3:32] it's, it's quality. And especially for for the
[3:35] winter at least, like it's, it's like like that shit.
[3:38] If, if someone handed it to me and this is not, once again,
[3:42] look, I don't mind glazing it because it's our product and we
[3:45] know the quality of it. If someone handed me that and
[3:47] said how much does this cost? And I'm speaking in Canadian
[3:49] dollars. So it's kind of like shekels
[3:51] right now at this, but I'm speaking in Canadian dollars.
[3:53] I would say all this hoodie must be like 150 bucks.
[3:56] As generous, but I, I, I see that.
[3:59] I see what you're saying, but it's.
[4:00] Generous. It's generous because you have
[4:01] to consider that the Zara's out there have good quality.
[4:05] But Zara. Zara.
[4:06] And there's no print you're. Missing the personality or.
[4:08] For schmucks that talk about football cannot optimize merch
[4:11] to the level that you that Zara has to optimize it like those
[4:13] guys are getting. They're ordering like thousands
[4:15] and maybe a million hundreds. That's true and it's supplied
[4:17] all around the world. But I think, I think this drop,
[4:21] I'm very happy. With it I'm very happy.
[4:23] With the run out the website, the website in my opinion, it
[4:26] turned out really, really nicely and and the video ended up.
[4:29] Getting some videos. We're almost running out.
[4:31] Yeah, we're now so. The first the first rush as soon
[4:34] as we launched this the whole teaser plus like the website too
[4:38] like just seeing every all you guys supporting if you guys
[4:41] bought merch like you guys are absolutely.
[4:43] Fantastic. And if you guys haven't bought
[4:45] yet and are interested, you can visit boxofboxclothing.com.
[4:48] Hopefully by the time this comes out on Monday, that's yeah, some
[4:53] of those sizes or colors aren't sold out yet, but we're gonna
[4:57] restock. We're gonna restock if there's
[4:58] the man on the first drop, we're gonna restock those sizes and
[5:00] those colors. So if you guys want it, you guys
[5:02] are gonna get it. And once you get it, like if you
[5:04] wanna send us a DM or something, I'll be checking on Instagram to
[5:07] see like the other responses. Yeah, box a box show just just
[5:12] to see like your opinions on it, the quality and whatever so.
[5:15] But they shouldn't have a bad opinion about the quality.
[5:18] We we went. We went.
[5:19] I just want to know like it finally arrived because I know
[5:22] we had a couple of of orders like in the USA lot in the USA,
[5:27] couple of far ones as well like in Australia, so Australia.
[5:29] We really want to stress once again.
[5:31] I can't how many times I need to sit the quality.
[5:35] OK, see nobody I wanted. Ladies.
[5:37] I wanted laid in their heads that they're not buying some
[5:40] YouTuber merch. That was just buying some two.
[5:43] Yeah they are, but not YouTuber merch.
[5:45] I was just thrown together just for the YouTuber to make a
[5:47] quick. But we, we honest, we genuinely,
[5:49] I really can't tell you how many hours we put into like the
[5:52] little details and stuff like. When you see the quick buck.
[5:55] Yeah, when you see it and you get it, you're gonna say, oh,
[5:58] this is nice. But the amount of work behind
[6:00] the scenes to make sure you guys get like a very good product
[6:03] like that was our our main part. Yeah, so.
[6:05] And yeah, we're gonna stop. We're gonna stop.
[6:08] And on the website there's these allegations that I'm 5 foot
[6:11] seven. OK, I was gonna mention that.
[6:13] I was gonna mention that. Now.
[6:14] Now. OK.
[6:14] We gotta measure it too. No.
[6:16] OK. So you want to tell them about
[6:17] the shoe thing? Yes, don't say it.
[6:19] You're gonna get, you're gonna get in the comments, in the
[6:21] comments, in the comments, you're gonna get cloned.
[6:23] Do you guys list your height with shoes or without shoes?
[6:27] That's all I want to know. Producer T, what do you think?
[6:30] Cuz what? Cuz we're.
[6:32] Trying to do the math, you ain't figuring it out.
[6:34] Cuz with shoes I'm 6 foot 4. But you don't count it with
[6:37] shoes. But you count it with shoes.
[6:38] You think football players are are being like, OK, you're 6
[6:42] foot 7 because you have. Cleats.
[6:43] The cleats go into the ground, so they're literally on the
[6:46] floor. But the cleats?
[6:48] If I go out wearing 7 foot air forces.
[6:50] Exactly. I am, I am.
[6:52] You're 8 foot now. You're in foot now.
[6:57] But you're if you go out wearing that, you're still, you're still
[6:59] 57. You look like a clown.
[7:01] No, but you're. If you if you were those.
[7:03] Price and not pump things like an extra 2 inches pause then not
[7:07] really a pause. You're still 57.
[7:09] Where can I buy those if we get you an extra 2 inches?
[7:11] You're still 57 at the base of it.
[7:13] That's why heights are how matter.
[7:15] How do you even disagree? I think that this was an
[7:17] arbitrary ruling on that 5 foot 7 by the way.
[7:20] That was around. Test that was.
[7:22] Around down. That was around down.
[7:23] Up. No, Millie said. 5-6 and a bit,
[7:26] but we'll give you 5 seven, no. And I was like no put his, put
[7:28] his actual height. No, I I think this is this is a
[7:34] controversy that will need to be studied for future generations
[7:38] because they're, they're lying on my the.
[7:40] Problem was it was that we did it at the end of the day you had
[7:43] to so. What you're shorter?
[7:44] Yeah. That's why 'cause cause gravity.
[7:46] Pulls you down during the day, so.
[7:48] That's something of 55. You're tallest.
[7:50] You're talking about that. That's not even talking, bro.
[7:52] You're the tallest. When I wake up in the morning,
[7:54] I'm 6 foot four, yeah. You said that with the straight
[7:56] face. How much taller could you be?
[7:59] A couple and maybe an inch or two.
[8:00] But like, I know, I know it's I. Gained an inch or two in the
[8:03] morning. This is cop, everything is
[8:05] bigger not. Like athletes, I remember
[8:07] hearing about this for hockey, hockey, when they would do their
[8:09] measurements. Yeah, like, they would do the
[8:11] measurements early in the morning and they would literally
[8:13] tell the kids, get in the car as soon as you wake up and, like,
[8:16] lie down so that they could stay elongated.
[8:19] I'm not joking. I can't believe this.
[8:21] No, it's a real thing I'm telling.
[8:22] You so there's kids in the back seat lying down to keep their
[8:24] height. Keep their height and then and
[8:25] then when they do their official measurement, they're an inch and
[8:27] a bit maybe taller than what they.
[8:29] Usually I can't believe it's an inch Milly.
[8:30] No, too much. A lot these things pause.
[8:32] What do? You mean so Milly lied about a
[8:35] six foot one height? Milly's been in.
[8:38] The morning I'm 6/1. Milly's been tactically lying
[8:40] down. Yeah, always bro.
[8:42] Telling you bro why laying down horizontally?
[8:43] I'm like six, 1 1/2 minutes. So, Millie, if you've got a
[8:45] measuring session in two hours, you're lying, darling.
[8:46] This. But I'm going straight like
[8:48] horizontal until the moment, the absolute moment.
[8:51] Why shouldn't you hang? You should hang then.
[8:53] Even less compression. Yeah, your limbs, yeah, but
[8:55] that's. What I mean, you wanna be upside
[8:57] down or do you wanna be like? Comfortable.
[8:59] I wanna I wanna height Max Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go get the
[9:03] height surgery. Yeah.
[9:04] Where they break your legs. And then a couple of stilts.
[9:07] And I think Millie can give you the eye surgery.
[9:10] And then you just. And then they just.
[9:12] Yeah. People don't do that are fucking
[9:14] stupid. Yeah.
[9:15] I'm sorry, how insecure do you need to be to get height
[9:18] surgery? Because there's a correlation
[9:20] between how much money you make. Your height reach their own
[9:22] because, because. What, you're telling me
[9:25] someone's more likely to make a lot of money if they're tall
[9:28] versus yes? Bro don't give me this bullshit.
[9:31] Bro I kind of true statistic. I don't believe that.
[9:33] What the fuck do you mean to true?
[9:34] Statistics, I mean a true statistic, I'm telling you right
[9:37] now, but is. It is it a skewed statistics you
[9:41] you could tell. Me like CEOs I'm pretty sure.
[9:44] OK. But no that no.
[9:45] I'm telling you, there's a, there's a number, OK.
[9:49] But then you start, but then you start getting into OK, there is
[9:53] like females get paid less in general than males for the same
[9:57] job and female and females are, but females are generally
[10:01] shorter than males. I'm talking about no.
[10:05] No, but. Are you?
[10:05] I can't think about. Forbes Your height has a big
[10:08] impact on your salary and your research seeks to understand.
[10:10] Why I make billions? OK wait, can I have some because
[10:14] I. Yeah, I didn't see that for the
[10:15] money. You can't teach high.
[10:17] Whatever anyways. The whole article is stating
[10:20] that and it was posted on Reddit and then the top comment.
[10:22] My God how fucking broke would I be if I was short?
[10:24] I'm pretty broke right now. I want some install money but
[10:28] no. I think the correlation is.
[10:31] Looks is. Looks is looks.
[10:33] Really is obviously like maybe, I don't know.
[10:35] A good looking person will will do better in the corporate.
[10:39] World. But the good looking is
[10:40] subjective, like height is not subjective.
[10:43] That's an objective number. What an ugly motherfucker.
[10:45] Would say low key beauty's in the eyes of the beholder on the
[10:52] inside that counts. Personality.
[10:55] Bro instantly felt like I was talking about it.
[10:58] All looks are just no. That.
[11:00] Is objective. Beauty is subjective.
[11:03] Height is an objective. As soon as I said height makes
[11:05] you more money. What?
[11:08] Because that's not. True, if you were talking about,
[11:10] but you'd say I agree. No, because that's not true.
[11:14] Forbes said. It's true.
[11:15] So I don't want to tell you anyways, we're football podcast,
[11:18] by the way, all. Right, we're just inform.
[11:20] We're just informing just your daily dose of information.
[11:23] This is what outside the box sounds like, by the way.
[11:24] Yeah, it's outside the box. Little glimpse into outside the
[11:27] box. Which we will be doing after
[11:28] this pod. Yeah.
[11:29] Oh, it's true. So that's.
[11:30] The box say whoa. The Premier League is back,
[11:32] though. The Premier League is back.
[11:34] I'm that was. It's been a very hype weekend.
[11:36] I miss. I love it.
[11:37] I agree, even though the offseason isn't that long.
[11:40] I was texting the group chat Friday night, the Friday in the
[11:43] morning I texted. This is like Christmas Day for
[11:45] me. I woke I love it.
[11:46] I woke up with the with like outfit already.
[11:48] On Yeah, buddy. Fries I woke up I I Thursday
[11:51] night. I laid out my outfit for the
[11:53] next day saying this is the day. It was only one game, it was
[11:55] Liverpool, Bournemouth, it was enough.
[11:57] It doesn't matter. Enough of a Zoovi that game was
[11:58] enough for the Friday, for the whole Friday.
[12:00] Games with stakes, that's what it is, yeah.
[12:03] Yeah, anyway, we just live streamed.
[12:04] If you guys didn't catch it, we just live streamed Manchester
[12:06] United versus Arsenal. Arsenal come out 10 victorious.
[12:11] What do you want to start with? Do you want to just talk about
[12:13] the game to begin? With well it's in second year in
[12:15] a row we as first time we did Arsenal Manchester United live
[12:17] stream was one of our first live streams 00 yeah, second one we
[12:20] do 1 nothing. And this realistically could
[12:23] have ended 00 very easily also. Very easy as well, but honestly
[12:26] I would admit a bit more entertaining, definitely more
[12:29] entertaining than I. Remember, last year's was Snooze
[12:31] Fest? Oh my God, that was such a
[12:33] snooze. Fest we did another one no with
[12:34] the corner goals. Yeah, I remember like a 11.
[12:36] Arsenal scored only set pieces. 222, yeah.
[12:39] So nothing's changed. Yeah, Oh, it wasn't.
[12:41] It wasn't. Two or two maybe.
[12:42] That was a zoo V equalizer. That was a zoo V but but
[12:45] nevertheless, this was actually like, I don't know, maybe
[12:49] because I'm a fan of Man United that I found it kind of an
[12:51] entertaining one now. But I found there was a lot of
[12:54] individual quality on the pitch. I'm not going to cap other on
[12:58] more on the Man United side than on the Arsenal side because.
[13:02] What individual quality? Yeah.
[13:04] Why would you say that? Because I mean.
[13:05] Obviously our bad players were really bad like.
[13:08] Yes. Buying deers of the world, The
[13:11] Who else had a bad game? A Casamuro I don't think was
[13:14] that good either. Visible, but I find.
[13:17] Dalo didn't have a great game. Either there there's as a Man
[13:20] United fan, there was a lot of positives coming out of that
[13:23] game. Like I didn't feel like, yes,
[13:25] obviously we lost the three points and it's going to come
[13:27] out very cockish, but I didn't feel like we lost.
[13:30] Oh my God, Crazy Millie said that you.
[13:32] Yeah. That's 100% that's but I didn't
[13:35] feel like we lost. So oh, I'm definitely using that
[13:38] one. I'll tell you if we get.
[13:41] If I lose to Barcelona or someone in the Champions League
[13:43] and we had a good performance, I'm saying.
[13:45] Yeah, but it didn't. Feel like.
[13:46] Standards right now are higher than Man United's right now.
[13:50] Who Right now Standards right now are higher than Man United?
[13:52] We. Also spent 250 mil.
[13:54] Yeah, but I'm expecting. Look, Cunha was amazing, he was
[13:58] good, disagrees Cuna. Everyone is saying Cuna man of
[14:01] the match after the game. He had a very good game.
[14:03] Everyone was saying that well he was good but I see more
[14:05] potential than Wemble from. The game and Wemble was getting
[14:07] into dangerous positions all game.
[14:09] Also the final, the final touch was in there but he was getting
[14:13] into dangerous positions. After watching last year
[14:15] Garnacho terrorize my eyeballs for a season, this looked like
[14:19] prime Barcelona to me. Oh my so.
[14:21] So I see a lot of positives. Am I going to sit here and
[14:25] confidently say but Man United are better than Arsenal?
[14:28] No, even though I do think we played better today.
[14:31] I don't know. I don't think we're going to be
[14:32] better over a 38 game season. But I do come out saying, you
[14:36] know what, like we should be finishing higher than the
[14:38] Bournemouth. The Crystal Palace is the the
[14:41] that those teams but I feel. Like every time you played
[14:43] Arsenal you said this and then you ended up either tying the
[14:46] game or losing it. So like.
[14:47] But we were the aggressors today.
[14:50] I don't think there was more than like a 5 or 10 minute spell
[14:52] where Arsenal actually controlled look.
[14:54] Even last time you played Arsenal, it was it was a similar
[14:56] game, yeah. And then you went to Wolves on
[14:58] the weekend and lost. If I check I I'm down to check
[15:01] the stats, but I don't remember the last time we played Arsenal
[15:03] and had more than 55% possession.
[15:05] It's not about. Possession, you guys, you guys
[15:07] always Arsenal, United is never. We we had more than double the
[15:10] attempted shots like we were the aggressors.
[15:12] And honestly you you talked about Kunya man of the match.
[15:15] I'm Loki going to give it to RYA.
[15:17] He made like 4 crazy saves. He saved Arsenal even.
[15:20] Depends my point that man you if the goalkeepers your man the
[15:23] match chances are you got out played.
[15:25] Yeah, but yeah, I mean. With Real Madrid.
[15:27] Yeah, but that's why we have that goalkeeper and you have
[15:29] like buying deer is a negative, you know, like he's the reason
[15:32] why that goal. Happened.
[15:33] Buying deer is the worst goalkeeper I've ever watched in
[15:34] my life. I'm not even kidding Onan.
[15:36] If Onan is there I look I'm not gonna.
[15:38] He could have had a stupid fuck up also.
[15:39] So you can never put it past them.
[15:41] But if we have done a rumor in that game, that's a 000
[15:43] everywhere. He knows how to deal with that.
[15:45] He knows how to deal with those things.
[15:46] But look, I think that also Arsenal, you could you could
[15:51] take it as a negative and positive.
[15:52] I'm an Arsenal fan. Negative is that obviously this
[15:55] was not a good performance. And if you play like this 38
[15:57] more times, this is not going to be a good season for you.
[15:59] But you could also spin as a positive where you guys didn't
[16:02] even play well and you still took three points home.
[16:04] So like, if you can start playing well, where's the
[16:07] potential of this team going to lead to, you know?
[16:08] That's true, but that's that's always been the case when you
[16:11] have two full backs coming on that are premier level starting
[16:13] quality in in like Skelly and and Timber, you have that depth
[16:19] and you have like Saliban and Gabriel played very well today.
[16:22] They were very, very solid and you have riot between the posts.
[16:25] So defensively it's always been solid.
[16:27] We didn't concede a goal and we still had a shit game.
[16:30] So I agree with Varva in that sense, but tactically,
[16:33] tactically, it does not look like Arteta has figured out how
[16:35] to use Yolkishet at all. At all.
[16:38] I. Wouldn't blame him.
[16:39] It's a little early. I think even just coming into
[16:42] the Premier League like it's your first game, like I'm not
[16:44] going to judge him off of this one game.
[16:45] And it is also like, look, Arteta didn't get Yolkish the
[16:49] ball in threatening areas 20 times, but even when he did, the
[16:52] small amount of times there was that funny from our live stream
[16:57] where Yolkish was one-on-one and he forgot the ball back in
[16:59] Portugal. And then we were like, oh, oh,
[17:02] we, we all stood up. We're like, okay, you're gonna
[17:04] show one-on-one. I'm the wing.
[17:05] What's he gonna do here? And then he forgets the ball and
[17:08] we all stood up. That was hilarious.
[17:09] But but even when he did get get the opportunity, he didn't do
[17:13] anything with it. Like the cross that went first.
[17:15] Yeah, not a great performance. Didn't seem like it was the the
[17:19] the game plan that suited him. Yeah, yeah.
[17:21] Which is very weird like. Saka had a bad game too.
[17:24] Saka. Saka had a bad game.
[17:25] This was Martinelli had a bad game.
[17:27] Times in forever where Saka Saka went one for six on his
[17:31] dribbles, Yeah, really? That's his worst percentage he
[17:33] he's had in over a year. I've never watched a soccer
[17:35] performance that. But he also looked quite
[17:37] isolated, like on that right side, it felt like Martinelli
[17:40] wasn't even being used at some point.
[17:41] I actually didn't even. Did you guys remember a play
[17:44] that Martinelli did? Yeah, Martinelli near the end 2
[17:46] times, near the end, I think 1. Or two runs, we were like, oh,
[17:49] this is Martinelli. That's true.
[17:50] Anything. Yeah, he did.
[17:51] Never had. That's the only one.
[17:52] I remember the overhead where he wins.
[17:54] Put a ball across. Yeah, that was.
[17:55] When Yokosh didn't make the run in he did a couple of things but
[17:57] honestly like him and Saka did the same shit.
[17:59] Yeah. And then Madhuika comes on.
[18:01] He doesn't really change anything.
[18:02] More defensively, he was always supporting his fullback though,
[18:04] so that's that. Yeah, that's fine.
[18:06] But Arsenal? Arsenal, the positives, probably
[18:10] the center backs was the positives because they had like
[18:12] they had a good. Game they had only by Gabriel.
[18:14] Yeah, Calafiordi had a good game.
[18:16] Yeah, if he can keep that going, then I'm sure he's going to have
[18:19] a good season. Probably looking like an FPL
[18:20] pickup right now. So Ottergaard.
[18:22] Ottergaard was very good today. I think he was the man of the
[18:25] match for Arsenal. Aside from Raya, I haven't seen
[18:28] that type of Ottergaard in a long time, but it comes at a
[18:30] time where, well, not water Garden might be cooking.
[18:33] Is soccer gonna be cooking at the same time like I want both
[18:35] of them to be good at? Six, He was there in build up
[18:37] and defensive, but the final ball again, was just not there
[18:40] for him. Yeah, a couple.
[18:40] Of moments where he just whiffed on the pass, the tackers.
[18:42] Just weren't good. Yeah, but it takes time for a
[18:46] striker to to get into the the chemistry of the team.
[18:49] Like I don't expect, as I said, Yokish feel like he'll start
[18:52] scoring more in the game week. Four.
[18:54] Yeah, it'll take. Time.
[18:55] Well, same with Szechko. Szechko played 35 minutes and
[18:58] extra time and yeah. Same situation in my opinion.
[19:00] But I find in the first half there were more Milan scored
[19:03] again, by the way, I find in the first half there were more
[19:06] opportunities for a player like Cesco to get involved.
[19:08] In the second-half it was more balls into Emboemo and because
[19:12] he was pinning the defenders back.
[19:13] Yeah, so Shesh, go on. And opportunity stopped coming.
[19:16] For for the striker. Well, arson also went more
[19:18] defensive, Which? Didn't help and plus you with
[19:21] Gabrielle and Saliba there. Like a lot of blocked shots,
[19:23] Saliba got his defensive contributions and then you had
[19:25] like 12 or. 13 Let's just speak. There was a pen that was not
[19:28] given to Man United on Cunha. Blatant pen.
[19:31] Everyone agrees, but. Don't, don't spread
[19:34] misinformation. Not everyone agrees.
[19:36] Only Manchester United fans agree.
[19:38] No dude, I've seen some other fan bases involved.
[19:40] I agree but it's OK. But.
[19:42] The ref clearly didn't see it. Bart didn't even review it
[19:44] exactly. Yeah, but it's it's obvious upon
[19:47] second watch that it is a pen. Well, you didn't.
[19:49] See it Bart Bart gets a second watch.
[19:52] But they play. Arsenal restarted the game too
[19:54] quickly. I'm telling you, I'm telling.
[19:57] You I'm telling you that this was a pen, but it's OK.
[20:01] So basically it should have been 11.
[20:03] Stupid cool goalkeeper mistakes, but supposedly.
[20:05] I don't know if I've read Amarim's quote correctly, but
[20:08] Onana wasn't dropped, he was just not selected.
[20:12] That's a bomba. Yeah, that is.
[20:14] That means he doesn't even read them.
[20:15] Yeah, but I don't know, don't take my word for it because it's
[20:18] weird. I can't really tell by the way
[20:20] he said if it was always injured and he was our third keeper or
[20:23] if he actually like got dropped. So I don't know.
[20:27] But look, after today's performance, would you review
[20:31] where you put Man United in the Premier League table?
[20:34] No, I put them 7th. I'm gonna keep them 7th.
[20:36] Who'd you have above them? Newcastle.
[20:40] It's gonna be tough. Well, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man
[20:42] City, Liverpool. Who's the 6th the.
[20:46] Spurs. The Spurs at 7.
[20:48] I had Spurs at the seven. Manchester United at 8:00.
[20:51] I'm not comfortable after this weekend, I'm not comfortable
[20:53] putting Newcastle ahead of Man United.
[20:55] I think I did put Newcastle I I. Lost you?
[20:57] Do you forget? But we outplayed them.
[20:59] Newcastle literally didn't really do anything.
[21:01] I know, but you need points to win to to to move up the table.
[21:05] When we play Aston Villa, we'll get 3.
[21:06] Points, but I do think. Your defensive your defensive
[21:08] issues remain the same and I. We didn't have any defensive
[21:11] issues today. I find you guys didn't create
[21:14] anything other than one stupid fucking corner which you're
[21:16] buying into your screen. And you still lost 10.
[21:17] You strengthened your offense and then score a goal like
[21:19] these. The the issues that I had before
[21:20] the season didn't get changed because of this Arsenal.
[21:23] But but I do think that one game like especially like Manchester
[21:25] United, Arsenal, like that's a very tough game.
[21:29] And I do think that Manchester United played very like well,
[21:32] considering their whole season that just.
[21:34] Happened and they were home and that still didn't score a goal.
[21:38] None. None of my concerns got
[21:39] addressed here. You added 200 and something
[21:41] million of a time. None of your address got.
[21:43] Concerned but we both watched Cunion and Buemel.
[21:47] You literally said and Buemel looked very dangerous so.
[21:49] That's why now you're. 15 you you think that our team with
[21:53] Garnacho and like we had, I don't even know who we had right
[21:57] wing last season to be honest, most of the season, whatever
[22:00] Hoyland and Garnacho and all those shitters you have that you
[22:05] don't watch this and say, oh, that's better than what we had
[22:07] last year. OK, that's what I literally said
[22:09] in the Premier video. That's why I didn't put you 15th
[22:11] because you did strengthen your attack, therefore you get pushed
[22:15] into 8th place wherever I put Manchester United.
[22:17] Yeah, I don't know, I, I, I think maybe maybe I could
[22:21] justify a, a bump to maybe 7, maybe 6, but like I, I would say
[22:26] 7. Had a good weekend but they
[22:27] played in my opinion. The weekend team, yeah.
[22:30] One of the two worst teams that will obviously finish bottom.
[22:33] Two, but look at it in the Prem nowadays, like Burnley will see
[22:37] Leeds, there's no weak team, like you're not going to face an
[22:41] opposition. Like Burnley, every.
[22:42] Week and wolves. Wolves.
[22:45] See what's yet to see what wolves, if it's Man City, or if
[22:47] it was actually wolves. But you see, like, that's two
[22:50] teams out of 20, like you're, you're not going to face an easy
[22:52] team every weekend. So I mean, get ready for these
[22:56] these difficult fixtures. You put them seventh.
[22:58] Yeah, I put them eighth. You put them 5th.
[22:59] Is it changing? You can't put them top four, no.
[23:03] I had Arsenal 4th so no, I can't put them 4th.
[23:06] That's crazy. I don't know, I think we need to
[23:09] watch another couple of Man United games.
[23:10] But I was it was, it was good to see the attack.
[23:12] The attack was definitely flowing like it when Sheshko
[23:14] gets put into the team, like properly, I think it's very it's
[23:18] going to be very enjoyable to watch as a Manchester United fan
[23:20] with a competent attacking force.
[23:22] And Bruno was Bruno was good today.
[23:24] Bruno was relatively good defensively.
[23:26] He was doing his duties. He was alright.
[23:28] He wasn't he wasn't anything special.
[23:29] I I this wasn't like to know this was an average Bruno, but.
[23:32] I don't know if you're gonna be seeing as many flashy Bruno
[23:35] moments this season cause no when when we're doing there, but
[23:37] he. Did also have like a lot of fuck
[23:38] ups on the ball where he did give the ball directly to
[23:40] Arsenal which if you're playing as a deep infielder you don't
[23:43] really have that luxury to just give the ball directly to their
[23:46] team so if. If you were to have a Baleba
[23:48] right there, a revolutionary, yeah, that would actually.
[23:51] Was waiter did nothing today, Yeah.
[23:52] Because a lot it was invisible. Yeah, got caught out flat footed
[23:55] wasn't. It but he had a decent game.
[23:57] I think it was more Ugarte. When Ugarte came on he was
[23:59] horrendous. Bro, when Ugarte passed the ball
[24:01] directly. Yeah, bro.
[24:02] Like you see the quality drop right away.
[24:05] That was hilarious. Horrible when he passed the ball
[24:07] directly to to Arsenal. Terrible.
[24:09] Yeah. But yeah, I don't know.
[24:11] Casimir didn't play bad, but he just wasn't right.
[24:14] And your deep midfielder should be noticeable.
[24:16] When you watch, when you watch Castamero, you watch Declan
[24:18] Rice, you watch like these players, facilitators jump out
[24:21] to you as wow, they they keep winning the ball back.
[24:23] Yeah, Castamero doesn't even. Zubi Mendi for Arsenal played
[24:26] good in my opinion. He.
[24:26] Was moving all right, I think it was a little invisible.
[24:28] Wasn't, wasn't. It was good.
[24:29] Incredible. Declan Rice didn't play amazing
[24:31] either. I don't know more things to
[24:33] come, but we have a lot of games to get through so we're gonna go
[24:35] up to the next one. The Friday game, it was
[24:37] Liverpool for Bournemouth 2. Actually quite a bit of
[24:41] takeaways from the match. It was a movie, absolute movie.
[24:43] I That was a crazy way to kick off the season.
[24:45] And Semenyo, something has to be said cuz Semenyo for far too
[24:49] long now has been one of the most underrated Prem players in
[24:51] my personal. Opinion FPL players know.
[24:53] This guy, this guy should be playing out of out of respect to
[24:56] Bournemouth, but you should be playing at a Bournemouth, a
[24:57] bigger club like like Arsenal. You guys were going for Madweke.
[25:02] Why the fuck are you not going for Semenyo?
[25:04] He's 2625 like that's that's a player that can he's both
[25:08] footed. He he's equally as good on both
[25:10] feet. If you're going to have a backup
[25:12] to Saka that can play left wing, why go and not go for some
[25:15] inuance? And every time he knows when to
[25:17] shoot, he has a good shot. Honestly, he's a very good
[25:20] player. I like him at Bournemouth.
[25:21] But I mean, he needs to be. He needs to have a starting
[25:23] spot. That's the thing.
[25:25] You say that about but why not maduwecki the same?
[25:29] Because Maduwecki didn't have a starting spot and won't isn't
[25:32] having a like I don't think Semenyu would move.
[25:35] To a manual Semenyu's a die hard Arsenal fan out if I remember
[25:38] correctly yeah, he said my favorite place is to play at the
[25:41] Emirates. They asked him why he's like, I
[25:42] can't answer that. Yeah, that makes.
[25:45] Sense, but we also don't know the price tag around him.
[25:47] He was. He would have.
[25:48] Been, I'm sure not even more. Like look how.
[25:51] Do you think it would have been more than 65 mil?
[25:53] 70 mil we. Don't know because Bournemouth's
[25:54] been selling like players for for a bag like a house in
[25:58] Zabarni. Like they know how to sell now.
[26:00] But I haven't seen any rumors about something because.
[26:02] There was before the summer to Man United, but then we ended up
[26:04] getting Cunha instead. Like there was rumors that he
[26:07] could potentially leave. Look, if next year, if if he's
[26:11] available, let's say like a as a situation, I would be happy Man
[26:15] United bringing him in as an attacking option.
[26:17] Like if we're in CL, he's a good play once again next year.
[26:20] But yeah, he's he's an amazing player.
[26:22] I I think hasn't has a definite argument for being the most
[26:26] underrated player in the Prem because he's a he's a complete
[26:29] attacker. He's rapid, uses both feet.
[26:32] He his finishing is incredible, his runs are incredible, his
[26:35] dribbling is good. Like he's a complete attacker.
[26:38] That's a player that Newcastle should have gone after for right
[26:40] wing. Yeah, and listen, Bournemouth
[26:42] like as a whole, I did not even expect them to to compete after
[26:45] losing a. Bunch, I mean defense, there was
[26:47] a defensive questions, but I mean you just lost all your
[26:49] starters. But I find they played kind of
[26:50] good. Obviously, like Liverpool, I
[26:52] wasn't. Expecting it was not bad, yeah,
[26:54] yeah. So I mean Nira Ola ball is
[26:56] always. Cool, fat was not bad either.
[26:58] Found their care. Care's replacement already.
[27:00] Yeah, but Liverpool was. Yeah.
[27:03] Liverpool does so many takeaways because they scored four goals,
[27:06] but at the same time I there was problems like there's the good,
[27:08] the bad and the ugly, and I think the good was definitely a
[27:11] KTK very good. A KTK was was great on the ball.
[27:15] He was great in link up, while a couple instances where his link
[27:17] up wasn't great, but that's just like, I guess growing pains of a
[27:19] new club. But overall a KTK.
[27:22] Very good so far. Yeah, master class.
[27:25] And I think called you've done it once again.
[27:28] I got on the train for Leicester station, I'm glad.
[27:30] Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're allowed on that KTKFC.
[27:32] But now it's closed like these two.
[27:34] They can't come on the podcast and say, Oh my God, Akitiki,
[27:37] your teriary region, you can't do that.
[27:39] I was making. I would never actually.
[27:41] You would never do, never do that.
[27:43] No, I don't think such a hypothetical.
[27:45] Millie hasn't said anything about I.
[27:46] Haven't said anything about. Akitiki.
[27:47] Yeah, because you probably never watched them before Thursday.
[27:49] Before Friday. Millie's an enjoy of a KTK.
[27:52] I mean, listen, I think that. When would you have watched a
[27:55] KTK? Honestly bro we watched so many
[27:59] games last. Year he picked up Marmouche in
[28:00] FPL so. The Marmouche been keeping up.
[28:02] I've been, I had to keep up on Frankfurt, bro.
[28:04] Yeah, that's all it is. But I could TK definitely had a
[28:09] very, very good debut. Yeah.
[28:11] And I think there were a lot of questions, especially with a lot
[28:13] of signings like marquee forward signings that happened.
[28:17] A lot of those guys came from outside the Prem and there were
[28:19] a lot of question marks coming out of this week.
[28:21] It's very clear I KTK is the most solid out of let's say the
[28:25] big three that came I KTK jokes and Seschko he this week, it was
[28:31] his week got 100% so. Bull and assists, I think, yeah.
[28:35] And he was dominant, Yeah, he was dominant.
[28:37] So. Do you see what he said about
[28:38] the Prem? He's like the intensity is
[28:40] absolutely insane. I was cramping by the 60th
[28:42] minute, he said. That game was back and forth.
[28:45] Yeah, it was crazy. So if that's the good, I'd say
[28:48] the bad would be, and this is saying to sound crazy, Muhammad
[28:51] Salah, he scored a goal, That goal that's.
[28:55] A that's just a regular Salah performance.
[28:58] No, but you see Salah's like less than 20 goals away from
[29:01] from Rooney or maybe eight goals, something like that.
[29:03] Wow, from Rooney's Premier League total, He's he's he's 50
[29:07] something goals away from the Premier League record, 260 for
[29:11] sheer. It's gonna happen, Probably
[29:12] then. If yeah cuz let's say he scores
[29:14] 20 this year, 20 next year and another year he would you would
[29:18] hit it. Yeah, I definitely.
[29:20] Yeah, go ahead. It's probably hard for Salah
[29:23] because I mean Salah usually does it on his own, but from
[29:27] last season, let's just say now he's doing tiki taka with Verts,
[29:32] which is a new signing. He no longer has Trent on an
[29:34] overlap or like Trent combining or whatever.
[29:37] He has Frimpong. So like his whole surroundings
[29:38] have been changed and he's servicing a striker in a KTK
[29:41] that is new as well. So like maybe all this newness
[29:45] could could be contributing to Salah's.
[29:47] I don't think he had a great. Game I watched, I watched a
[29:49] video on Liverpool this year versus last year and it's like
[29:53] slot yes, he won the title last year, but it's this summer.
[29:56] He went, OK, what we did last year, forget everything.
[30:00] We're doing something completely new this year.
[30:02] So it's kind of like, if it works out.
[30:05] Genius. Yeah.
[30:06] Because, like, change it before it gets passed.
[30:08] Yeah, exactly. He probably, like a lot of
[30:10] managers would have been conservative.
[30:11] OK, we won like this. I know we lost Trent.
[30:13] Like, look, Trent is a Unicorn of a fullback.
[30:16] So, like, you're never going to replace Trent directly.
[30:18] It was probably so important for that system that Slot said, OK,
[30:20] if he leaves, we need to change the entire system.
[30:23] So he did. But a lot of managers would have
[30:25] just said, OK, let's try and do what we did last year, just
[30:27] without trend. Yeah, that's what Anzagi did
[30:28] with Conte. It worked, yeah.
[30:30] Just mean minor adjustments in the positions that he lost.
[30:33] But I mean, look, Hakimi is never going to get replaced, but
[30:37] Dumfries kind of plays like a worse Hakimi.
[30:39] There's no worse trend. That's what I'm saying, that he,
[30:42] Inzaghi just kind of tried to fill the holes while improving.
[30:45] Yeah, things are already good. Slot seems like he just
[30:48] revolutionized the. Yeah, that's true.
[30:50] We definitely saw like an absence of Salah getting the
[30:53] balls from Trent, like in his usual position.
[30:55] But like, yeah, Frimpong didn't have a great game either.
[30:58] Bournemouth should have played a deeper line.
[31:01] I mean, we say that, but then they wouldn't have scored as
[31:04] many goals. Yeah.
[31:05] Like there's a trade off. Yeah, but there's a trade off
[31:08] like. And also it's Duquita just
[31:11] joined like 2 days before that game.
[31:12] Yeah. Seneschi was never a starting
[31:14] center back for them. It was like blatant red cards.
[31:16] Smith or some garbage. Blatant red card on Oh yeah,
[31:19] 100. Percent.
[31:20] That should have been a red, even as a Man United.
[31:22] This guy looked at the ball and slapped it out of the air.
[31:24] Yeah, it's great. He just didn't get enough finger
[31:26] on it for it to be obvious. But he slapped the ball out of
[31:28] the air. Yeah.
[31:29] I don't know how that's not a red card that.
[31:30] Would have been another Ekatika goal on that that breakaway,
[31:32] but. I think there was a foul before
[31:34] an offset, I don't know. There was something because the
[31:36] ball ended up getting called back to that spot for
[31:38] Bournemouth, I'm pretty sure, so something must have happened.
[31:43] Anyway, something I want to bring up.
[31:45] I think Eki TK has already proven that he is a better
[31:49] signing than Verts will be. Verts verts.
[31:52] His first game was eye opening. I can't count.
[31:54] I watched pre season and I watched the first game.
[31:57] Verts is not looking good but I think he will eventually look
[32:01] good. But the price tags are also.
[32:03] You have to think about the price tags because EKI TK is
[32:05] already value for money. He doesn't look up to pace in
[32:09] the Premier League, and it's weird because you see Cherokee
[32:12] on the same weekend, comes in drops, only plays 20 minutes but
[32:17] not 20 minutes. He's making everyone look like
[32:19] it's Sunday league. Forget him T Johnny Reindeers.
[32:21] Yeah, fucking master class of a performance. 1/3 of the price.
[32:25] 1. 3rd virtual's 150 mil. It's true.
[32:28] Yeah, my mind, I was thinking double, double, but it's.
[32:31] A bit more than double whatever. Bit more than, yeah.
[32:33] I'm I'm still heavily invested in Verts.
[32:35] I don't see any reason why I should sell these stocks
[32:38] immediately. But yeah, the performance he
[32:40] could have done a bit better, but I think he's like the focal
[32:43] part in that midfield in in Liverpool he didn't.
[32:45] Look like it. I'm not debating.
[32:46] Verts could be a good player, but this could end up being an
[32:49] Enzo Fernandez situation. Where yeah he's good no is he
[32:52] worth 110 mil That was that you paid yes is going to be verts
[32:57] wasn't 100 and verts was 150 million you know what Enzo is
[33:00] like a completely different. Player.
[33:01] From That's what Newcastle was asking for for Isaac.
[33:04] Yeah. And I think Wertz is like he's,
[33:06] he already was one of the top cams in the world.
[33:08] I I love I look, I'm not debating verts is I think he's
[33:12] he's a genius. It's just right now when you
[33:14] join doesn't look up to speed. If this continues then he's not
[33:17] worth 150 mil without a shot of a doubt.
[33:20] I think there's an adjustment period.
[33:22] Like I'm not ready to write him off.
[33:23] That that's the thing you we've we hold his price tag so much
[33:27] right at the beginning and if you.
[33:28] But we do that for everyone. But if?
[33:29] He doesn't start off well. Then all of a sudden the
[33:32] question comes, is this a failure or not?
[33:33] But let's say over the course of three or Four Seasons, he ends
[33:37] up being an extremely good plan, so.
[33:39] Fernando, if you're, if you're, if you're, you're saying if, if
[33:43] Wertz becomes like a 10 and 10 for Four Seasons.
[33:48] But here like what if? Verts is Odegard like what if
[33:50] verts is is forget Odegard. I don't see James Madison.
[33:53] I don't see that happening. I think his ceiling is so much
[33:55] higher than that. Ceiling, sure, but let's just
[33:57] say he ends up being James Madison for five years at at a
[34:01] healthy. James is a problem.
[34:02] Is obviously a problem. Is he worth the signing?
[34:05] No. Yeah, I mean, I mean when they
[34:07] can afford it, you know what I mean?
[34:09] Yeah, but when you pay 150 million, you want your player to
[34:11] perform right away. Almost.
[34:13] Yeah, because you could have bought East Side for. 150
[34:15] million, you're paying for guarantee and it's there.
[34:18] There's a premium on verts there.
[34:20] There's been a premium on them since the jump.
[34:22] So, but I think it is a guarantee.
[34:23] It's one of the the biggest guarantees we have in world
[34:26] football. But it's one of those things you
[34:27] can't. There was no, there was no
[34:31] version of this transfer where you would have came out and said
[34:34] Liverpool got a bargain unless it was like around 100 million
[34:38] or like a bit less than 100 million.
[34:39] Then you would have said, oh, that's a bargain.
[34:41] But for a team like Liverpool, it's, it's trivial the amount of
[34:46] money like they're, they're spending it regardless.
[34:48] That's true. So it really doesn't matter.
[34:50] For 150 mil I'm sorry you need to come in and be a 10 top ten
[34:53] player. Yeah, and I'm not asking.
[34:55] You to be top three, you don't need to be Mosala, but you need
[34:59] to be top 10. Yeah, and that'll take time.
[35:02] Like Sal has been at Liverpool for like what, 7 years now?
[35:06] Eight years now. It's like he he's, he's been
[35:08] afforded the time he's and it's only been like actually, he's
[35:12] actually been good since he came.
[35:13] But like I'd say, give warts a bit of more time.
[35:16] Yeah, how many of the top ten Premier League signings like
[35:19] transfers in of all time have been hits have been worth the
[35:21] money? Not a lot.
[35:23] Not many, but I do think like if you look at them, you could
[35:26] tell. You could kind of tell.
[35:27] Like they were going to be good. Yeah, yeah.
[35:30] But it was a pattern. Hindsight's 2020.
[35:31] Yeah, I know. Yeah.
[35:33] Well, I can tell you probably Kaisedo is, rice is.
[35:37] But Kaisedo took time his first season or so, like people were
[35:39] ripping him. But again, I think that was more
[35:41] like the squad was was not fit yet like for a for a top 4
[35:45] there's. No excuse for Verts that by the
[35:47] middle of the season Verts should be fully integrated and
[35:50] he should be playing the at his. 100%, yeah.
[35:53] Because you're on Liverpool, yeah.
[35:56] Here the top ten fees, whatever. That's so Verts is top.
[36:01] Enzo Fernandez is second. Not worth it.
[36:03] Not worth it, great player. Player yeah, not worth, not
[36:05] worth €121 million. But it was also like they they
[36:08] had bought him straight out of the the World Cup win.
[36:11] Like his price tag was so inflated.
[36:13] Yes, I know. Inflated 100 was so he's
[36:14] overplayed. But when when they bought him, I
[36:16] remember the conversation we were having.
[36:18] We're saying like, listen, that's the.
[36:19] Bottom one, we could be looking two years down the line and
[36:22] saying Liverpool Bob Verts after his player the season campaign
[36:24] in Germany, it was overvalued. Like, no, because that's not the
[36:28] conversation we were having, but I he's one of the best
[36:30] Germantowns around. I know.
[36:31] Three, but the preseason 2 it's not just a opening game.
[36:36] Preseason 2, he's looked off of it.
[36:37] Liverpool fans will tell you themselves also yeah, so it's
[36:40] like it's not just one game. They go through the other.
[36:42] Jack Greilish obvious flop yeah Declan Rice, worth it.
[36:44] Kaiseto, worth it. Lukaku flop Pug butt and worth
[36:47] it in my opinion, yeah. But it's contested.
[36:50] Kai Havitz was 100 mil. It was 90 mil Tarsville.
[36:55] I'm saying Chelsea. No 70 mil not possible.
[36:58] It's in 100 mil transfer market. Holy. 100 mil.
[37:01] Yeah Anthony 95 obvious flop. You see, like now we're getting
[37:06] into some controversial ones like Vadio for 90 mil.
[37:10] I mean, you've got. Like I think everyone could have
[37:12] told you that he was like the next.
[37:14] Biggest This could go either way.
[37:16] I don't think so. I think this is like you
[37:18] invested Young on a on a player that's good on the left back
[37:20] position, center back position, and he's going to be a
[37:22] cornerstone for Max I. Wouldn't say Vario's a flop.
[37:24] I wouldn't say it's a flop, but I wouldn't say it's an
[37:26] outstanding hit either. But that's.
[37:28] I don't know about that. Like, I think it's a hit.
[37:31] It's a hit. It's worth that.
[37:33] Yeah. Like if they were to resell him
[37:35] now, he's worth more than that. He didn't lose his value you.
[37:38] Think someone out there would pay 100 mil for Gargio?
[37:40] It's tough because defenders, you're not really paying 100
[37:42] mil, but I think yeah, 90 million.
[37:44] Well, they wouldn't sell them for under 90 million.
[37:46] But you think someone would pay 100?
[37:48] Like I don't think someone would out there would pay 100.
[37:50] For who's paying 100 mil straight for for center backs
[37:52] that's more the issue like it's a different there.
[37:55] Was a rumor that Chelsea offered for Bastoni.
[37:57] You see the amounts? Off 50 mil. 50 that's
[38:00] embarrassing you know that's stupid I.
[38:01] Don't know why. They but like the Barney got
[38:03] sold for how much? 707065.
[38:05] You're telling me for 15 mil more you go for guardio?
[38:08] That's. Barney is a Rolls Royce, so you
[38:10] can't ask me. That's crazy.
[38:12] Yeah. I'd go for Guardio at that
[38:13] point. But yeah, that interesting
[38:16] conversations around Liverpool. I can't wait to see the next.
[38:18] Game it was you would think, oh, they won four two Kieza by the
[38:21] way, I'm look, I'm slides. I don't I don't think it's going
[38:26] to happen, but I'm all for a remontada.
[38:28] I'm all for. I'm ready to get my heart broken
[38:31] again. But bro artist slot like doesn't
[38:34] like him. Like there's a it feels like he
[38:36] doesn't trust him. He doesn't give him confidence.
[38:38] Every interview that I've seen him talking about Kieza is
[38:41] always negative. It's never like, oh, nice goal.
[38:43] That's just that's just Dutch people.
[38:45] No because he's hyped up his his other teammates.
[38:48] I just feel like with Kez is. Telling you with 10 hog van gal
[38:50] it's just Dutch managers. They just they give it to you as
[38:53] straight as possible. Yeah, which is good to a certain
[38:56] extent, but yeah. But Kez is a hard worker I find
[38:58] like. Yeah, he's always been.
[38:59] I don't remember like injuries. I.
[39:00] Don't expect anything out of this.
[39:02] But the mental fortitude to do that is kind of crazy.
[39:05] Like the guy sat out all of last season, basically came back
[39:09] still in shape for Premier League games.
[39:11] Yeah. He basically just trained for a
[39:12] whole year straight, Yeah, without getting he got 9 sub
[39:15] appearances for less than 90 minutes, injury proneness, like
[39:17] you got a full year of training but not playing.
[39:19] So yeah, good. Yeah.
[39:20] And then now he came back and was probably one of the top
[39:23] storylines of the weekend. So yeah.
[39:25] Except he won't start next week. Yeah.
[39:27] And if slot don't, well, I mean, you could do it.
[39:30] I'm a Man United fan. I hope you do it.
[39:31] Don't ever make those Endo Joe Gomez Subs again.
[39:34] Oh my God, try to be a tactical right there higher.
[39:37] Game for you. Endo right?
[39:39] Kind of gracious. Yeah, Ping pong.
[39:42] Yeah, Man City, Wolves. I was watching this game.
[39:44] I have Earling Hound, FPL, the best player in FPL probably this
[39:47] season. Brace.
[39:49] A lot of things stood out to me that Man City did look like
[39:54] Challengers. I'm not going to look very good,
[39:56] but is this a question of Man City being very good or Wolves
[39:59] actually just being that bad? I think wolves were very bad
[40:02] mix. Mix, yeah.
[40:03] Mix, yeah. Cuz the the shit that some of
[40:05] these City players were doing would work versus like most of
[40:08] the other Prem teams. It's just Wolves's structure
[40:11] just allowed city to do whatever they wanted.
[40:14] Like whatever they. Want and if city add Rodrigo to
[40:16] this, but in my opinion Savino to Rodrigo's not that big of an
[40:20] upgrade. That's your opinion.
[40:21] Like it's it is. An upgrade, right?
[40:24] Now it is an upgrade right now, right now it is an upgrade.
[40:27] You're not. No, but we're not.
[40:28] Savino Savino is one of the best young wingers in the world, so I
[40:33] think it would be story. I was watching Bob.
[40:35] The guy's insane like Savino, Bob.
[40:38] Bob's good, yes, but Savino's better than Oscar.
[40:39] Bob brother Bob was destroying them.
[40:41] Savino. He was dribbling nowhere though.
[40:44] But he was he's. Creating he was.
[40:45] I know what you're referencing that like.
[40:47] Yeah, that place. Where this guy's just dribbling
[40:49] through six people but he didn't get anywhere.
[40:51] At least Doku like Doku will do his dribbles but it leads to
[40:54] something. That's that's the guy who's
[40:56] going to ball out this year. Isn't that Bob?
[40:58] In my opinion, he was insane. But just like Man City as a
[41:01] whole, they played well. Like there was no real
[41:05] liability. Maybe a defense, a couple of
[41:07] times they lost the ball stupidly, but.
[41:10] I wanna see what their upcoming schedule is like because.
[41:12] Now they have. Spurs That's when we're really
[41:14] gonna see is the really fake or not?
[41:16] Yeah, I'm trying to see them against Spurs cuz Spurs were
[41:18] good too and they talk. About that next week, yeah.
[41:20] And Spurs had a very good defensive performance against
[41:23] Burnley. Keep in mind it's Burnley.
[41:24] Yeah, those are two teams we're going to see if the role is fake
[41:26] or not. Yeah, because one of those two
[41:28] is on fraud. Which teams for sure, Man City
[41:30] or or Spurs, I think they play each other next week.
[41:33] One of those two, one of those performances was was a fraud.
[41:37] We're gonna have to wait. And see, I don't know, I have
[41:38] question marks on Man City's defense all the time, 'cause I
[41:42] think counter attack wise, like they they get exposed.
[41:44] Rico Lewis, like he played good, but again, like, I don't think
[41:47] he's. Wolves as well, and yeah, Wolves
[41:49] with Belgard and Munetzi behind bro.
[41:51] They were. You're not, you're not gonna
[41:53] catch anyone out on the counter now at all.
[41:55] Definitely Wolves. But there were, there were
[41:57] opportunities for Wolves to like when I was watching 'cause I
[41:59] have Strand Larson on the FPL team too.
[42:01] So I'm, I'm looking for those, oh, Strand Larson can make a run
[42:04] there. Oh, feed him the ball.
[42:05] Feed him the ball. There was like 5 in times where
[42:07] I'm like bro if they actually knew what the fuck they were
[42:10] doing. Shia Larsson's on a breakaway.
[42:12] Yeah, I saw that too. I knew he was amazing
[42:14] defensively, which was surprising, but.
[42:17] Yeah, played as a center back, which is.
[42:19] Crazy. Yeah, like a inverted center
[42:20] back. Whatever.
[42:21] You want all those signings that we're still putting full backs
[42:22] into center back positions. It's crazy.
[42:25] Well, Guardia was injured, so usually he would have played,
[42:28] but I think he. Always has his, He always has
[42:31] his little weird thing that I'll put into that system.
[42:34] It'll never be like a a fullback playing fullback, center back,
[42:36] smithfielder. Always throw like a center back
[42:38] in the midfielder, something like that.
[42:40] And Millie got a harsh introduction to the pep
[42:42] roulette. No marmouche, no cheki starting.
[42:45] No Marmouche, no Cheki starting. However, Cheki go on.
[42:48] He scored, yeah, which is I still got points.
[42:50] Marmouche came on but didn't really get I caught.
[42:52] Strays from that too. I had Phil Foden, Phil Foden,
[42:54] but Phil Foden had a knock. They didn't talk about it, but
[42:56] he was, he definitely had a knock.
[42:58] So he was not even on the bench and Mattish Nunez, despite
[43:01] starting all those Club World Cup games.
[43:03] On they say they have a knock. I don't know, like a lot of
[43:06] these knock situations are bullshit.
[43:08] And Savino, according to in the press, yeah, Savino.
[43:11] Yeah, he, he got injured before Palermo.
[43:13] He's out for the 2-3 weeks. No, when the transfer.
[43:16] Market closes. He's out till the transfer
[43:18] market closes. Yeah.
[43:19] What a coincidence. Yeah, yeah.
[43:20] And he's linked to a Spurs transfer.
[43:22] What's weird? And Pep even released a couple
[43:24] of interviews saying we need to trim down the squad.
[43:26] Yeah, but it's like, but if you're trimming down the squad
[43:29] and Foden is sitting out, is that who you're trying to trim
[43:31] out like? And you're still trying to bring
[43:32] in Rodrigo? Yeah, what is this?
[43:34] Really, Ruma? I don't get it.
[43:36] And. You brought in reindeers,
[43:37] Cherokee. I agree.
[43:39] Reindeers is a baller. This is the greed they speak
[43:40] about in the Bible. Yeah, yeah, Rangers.
[43:43] Masters. Was was insane bro forgot he was
[43:45] playing in he forgot he was in the Prem and not yeah he was
[43:48] playing the same way he did last season.
[43:49] But the Vavar Jinx he texts in the group chat, he's like this.
[43:52] Rinders know that this is not the Seria.
[43:54] But Alice, he's the drop on. Mass.
[43:55] Rage bait. I knew Rangers was actually
[43:57] playing good, bro. He was I was just bro.
[44:00] Anyone who was watching reindeers knows OK, this guy's
[44:02] balling out right now on this pitch.
[44:04] But I just dropped a seat of rage bait like he made one
[44:07] mistake. I I was waiting for one Rangers
[44:10] mistake to drop it and I was like.
[44:11] And he was good the. Best reindeers?
[44:13] No, this is not said. Yeah.
[44:14] I think I had reindeers in my stocks video my buy stocks.
[44:17] You did. Look, it doesn't matter.
[44:20] Where are we eating good today? Everyone's an amazing FPL
[44:22] manager in when you could look back in the past, but this week
[44:26] I actually I picked up a Dingra, so it's not bad.
[44:28] He scored whatever. I got 6 points off of him but I
[44:31] had reindeers in that first waiver slot I had a night before
[44:35] and then I switched it. Yeah, I overthought about it.
[44:37] Yeah, but look, I'm happy with my Dingra.
[44:39] He plays Burnley next week too, so that's good.
[44:42] But yeah reindeers might actually be a solid FPL pick up
[44:47] and with the with going from going from AC Milan where he
[44:50] scored 10 league goals in a worst team like I think and he
[44:54] was playing in a defensive team for most of the season.
[44:56] Yeah, I could definitely see this guy being score.
[44:59] The 10 again. Yeah, obviously not to the level
[45:01] of it, but I could see this guy being like the KDB replacement,
[45:03] like that's that's the one for one that they were trying.
[45:05] To Man City fans on Twitter, which I was like listening to or
[45:08] or reading, they said they remind him of he reminds them of
[45:12] Gundagan. Like Gundagan, I saw that.
[45:15] I see it. He plays, he can play DM, he can
[45:18] play center mid, he can play Taki midfielder.
[45:20] Yeah. He like he can play anywhere in
[45:22] midfield. 6810, yeah. Less physical than Gundagan
[45:25] though. Yeah, but that can come with
[45:26] time. Yeah, and that Gundagan really
[45:27] wasn't physical at all in his prime.
[45:29] He was just a genius. Like he knew exactly where to
[45:31] move. Yeah, Wizard.
[45:32] And that's another thing you always bring up that the Premier
[45:35] League is the most physical league, but we keep seeing these
[45:38] guys like Sherkey Reindeers. They come in and they just play
[45:41] well, they destroy the league. So to me your argument that.
[45:45] Turkey, hands up. But we must also not overreact
[45:50] to 20 minutes because Anthony scored on his debut against
[45:53] Arsenal and we know how that panned out.
[45:55] So let's not overreact about 20 minutes.
[45:57] It didn't look good. I'm not going to cap.
[45:59] It looked good, but let's not overreact about 20 minutes.
[46:01] Reindeers, though. Reindeers was never a fairy.
[46:05] He was never like a what does that mean?
[46:07] Like it means like he was never like.
[46:09] A push around. Yeah, he was.
[46:10] He was just not pro. He's not, he's not Declan Rice,
[46:14] but he's he's a six foot one midfielder who who's a decent
[46:18] height. Like he he's not.
[46:19] He's not just thrown around the pit.
[46:21] Tend to switch it like this. No, but he's not strong.
[46:24] But he's not weak. He's not.
[46:25] He's not like when he was. Playing on Milan, you clearly
[46:28] said, oh, watch this guy come to the Prem.
[46:29] The physicality he's not going to get.
[46:31] Is he more or less physical than James Madison?
[46:34] But James Madison injured 24/7 in the prime.
[46:37] Oh, that's a. So that's just.
[46:39] A James Madison's amazing play that's.
[46:40] A conditioning issue. That's a yeah.
[46:42] James Madison's better than Odegard.
[46:46] Honestly I agree, I think he is crazy.
[46:48] Yeah, he is. Definitely is.
[46:50] Enjoy that though. But yeah, T John the Reindeers,
[46:52] I'm glad he had a good, good debut.
[46:53] My thing about the the physicality is I've always said
[46:57] you can bridge the gap in physicality with technical
[46:59] ability, yes. And we've seen that with, like,
[47:01] Thiago in the past, yeah. Bernardo Silva.
[47:03] Bernardo Silva was trash in the Prem but yeah keep going.
[47:07] Thiago Alcantado was trash. First season he was good.
[47:09] I think after that he wasn't that.
[47:11] Good, he was mid. By him it was always.
[47:12] Thin the signings. Yeah, that was a flop signing.
[47:15] Whenever he played, he was still not that.
[47:16] Good, that wasn't a full flop, but was that a that?
[47:18] Was a flop I think. That yeah, it was.
[47:20] Thiago a little. 20 mil. 30 mil. He wasn't a free but Thiago.
[47:23] Liver cell. He wasn't a flop, he just didn't
[47:24] excel. He was the best number six in
[47:26] the world before he left. He actually won the sextuple
[47:28] with Flick before he. Left, yeah.
[47:31] He was good. He was amazing that season.
[47:32] That was like one of the best number six seasons I think we've
[47:35] watched. Maybe barrel Silva Morel Silva's
[47:38] never prided himself on. And now, right now he barely
[47:42] influences games well cause. But he had like 5 or you can't
[47:45] deny like four or five seasons. But he had an engine, now it's
[47:49] not. It's not there anymore.
[47:50] That's why he was looking to her transfer to Spain, because
[47:52] that's where technical ability really shines out ahead of
[47:55] physicality. Yeah, definitely.
[47:57] You can see him in the team. Foot mob and stuff.
[47:59] Added a running running stats. Yeah, it's pretty cool, really.
[48:02] Cool, I saw DeMarco Mike get. Cooked can you?
[48:04] Can you guess who were some of the top speedsters in the Prem
[48:07] this weekend? Or not like based on top speeds?
[48:09] Yeah. Gagpo let.
[48:13] Me get it first, but I I don't think Gagpo was there.
[48:17] He might have been actually Martinelli.
[48:18] Check now with the Man United game menu.
[48:23] Martinelli was top 4. What?
[48:25] Bro one of those runs was fucking crazy.
[48:27] Semenyo, you said no, no, Semenyo Sala, no one is a
[48:31] Liverpool player. Like pretty, pretty head and
[48:35] above everyone. No, he's not that fast.
[48:39] Ping pong. Yeah.
[48:40] Ping pong, Ping pong. Ping pong.
[48:42] Yeah, ping pong. 22.4 mph. Goddamn.
[48:46] Oh bro, speeding at school zone. Yeah, but that's that's a low
[48:48] key. Yeah, Kyle Walker still got it.
[48:51] Low key 21.2 miles a long. Shot What the fuck does not
[48:55] stop? Crazy.
[48:56] Yeah. That long shot, he did take a
[48:57] long shot and he missed, yeah. As per When has he ever?
[49:01] Gotten, yeah, but that honestly, Man City definitely want to
[49:05] watch for the future of the season.
[49:06] Yeah, the Next up on the next on the episode of Is there only
[49:10] fake? Spurs win 30 versus Burnley in
[49:13] pretty dominating fashion. Kudos, I predicted it.
[49:16] Kudos was fucking nasty. It for me this is like a like a
[49:19] Timu diamond tester like this is.
[49:22] Timu Diamond. Tester, This is like brother,
[49:23] it's Burnley. You say that you say that, but
[49:25] they only kept 2 clean sheets at home all of last year.
[49:28] I agree. And yeah, definitely it's it's
[49:30] an improvement 100%, but it's at the end of the day, people have
[49:34] looked at Burnley and they said obviously that's not Premier
[49:37] League level. So I don't know, it's tough.
[49:40] Do I want I have to give credit to three nothing though.
[49:42] If it was like a one nothing kind of game then I would maybe
[49:44] say look questions but they look good.
[49:47] Yeah, the fact that Thomas Frank was able to value again Rich
[49:51] Arlison, get him back into the squad and he scores, he delivers
[49:54] was very nice. I'm calling really fake.
[49:57] Calling the rolly. Fake.
[49:58] I'm just saying I'm calling. I might be in my hater.
[50:00] I'm calling the rolly. Fake.
[50:00] Fake like our expectation. They played well but Burnley
[50:04] looked shell shocked. Yeah, but I don't think anyone's
[50:06] coming and telling you Spurs are title contenders.
[50:08] No, but Spurs fans are. No, I I still.
[50:11] Rich Charleston scored a fucking bicycle kick.
[50:14] Nuts. Yeah, that's.
[50:14] Crazy. And the second, the other goal
[50:16] that Rich Charleston. Scored Charleston at one point.
[50:17] I'm not saying he was ever worth, but Barcelona offered 100
[50:20] mil for Charleston at one point. The long Time Martinez 2.
[50:23] Yeah, yeah. Yeah, crazy, but.
[50:24] Like Rich Charleston, he has been irrelevant for a long, long
[50:27] time. And yeah, like, chances are, a
[50:29] lot of favorite this summer your club was signing with
[50:31] Charleston, you'd say, what the fuck are we doing, exactly?
[50:33] But he was a decent player at one point.
[50:36] Like he wasn't. He's not.
[50:37] It's not like you're watching. Hoyland interplayer Hoyland
[50:42] Literally hoyland Think of one hoyland.
[50:44] Yeah, Hoyland where he was never good like you're you're watching
[50:48] someone who has scored double digit goals in the Prem before,
[50:51] you know, I'm saying. Next week, next week, that
[50:52] diamond tester's coming back out versus city.
[50:54] That's that shit's gonna go. So what's your prediction?
[50:57] That's a Jacob and Co diamond tester, right?
[50:59] There 31 City city. How many Holland goals?
[51:03] One, Only one. And it's a pen too.
[51:06] I'll take that. It's a pen.
[51:07] I'll take that. We.
[51:08] Take. Those is there.
[51:08] See me rolling. Watch out.
[51:10] That's yeah, that's your off. Yeah, that's your off.
[51:12] We're. Gonna have to talk about FPL
[51:14] and. All but yeah, I mean, kudos look
[51:16] great. Richarlson.
[51:19] I don't think Richarlson he did even.
[51:20] It's not like he had like a better game than Akiti K
[51:23] comparatively. I don't even think he was better
[51:25] than Akiti K. He just scored a couple goals,
[51:27] so he got the headline. Did you see Kudos Richarlson
[51:30] after the game? He was like kudos, this guy must
[51:32] be Brazilian. He was doing a bunch of skills.
[51:35] Yeah, he did. You see that?
[51:36] Stop that he did. Yeah.
[51:37] The classic. Like a back back heel, whatever
[51:39] you want to call it. Kudos.
[51:40] Kudos in Thomas Frank's system might actually be like Baller, A
[51:44] breakout season for sure, because everyone knew kudos had
[51:47] it, Yeah, but it was just like putting it together.
[51:50] And Thomas Frank? Who's to say this is not his
[51:52] next time? Who bought his stocks?
[51:53] I think I bought his stocks. One of us bought his stocks, no.
[51:55] No, I don't think. It's Bellini.
[51:57] Bellini. Blues picked him in I'm.
[51:59] Aware I pay him anyways, I'm gonna have to dive into it
[52:02] later. Outside the box.
[52:03] Holy cook sesh I got. There's no way one of us didn't
[52:06] buy his stock. Didn't.
[52:07] No would have been a good player to buy stocks.
[52:10] Yeah, but yeah. I have stocks.
[52:13] You actually did? I did, Yeah.
[52:15] Good. Show it.
[52:16] Was the freest money ever because it was just another
[52:18] performance last season, yeah. Exactly.
[52:20] We can speak about the Vivar Chris Wooden Master class where
[52:22] we win no matter what. But according to you.
[52:25] But yeah, Spurs definitely, definitely going to be an
[52:28] interesting team to follow this season.
[52:31] I feel like this year is one of the first years, especially with
[52:34] United and Spurs are looking good in the first weekend.
[52:37] You can say like, bro, the top ten this year is going to be
[52:40] like kind of kind of tough to predict.
[52:43] Yeah, Like the whole top 10, Crystal Palace look good against
[52:46] Chelsea. Chelsea look kind of
[52:47] underwhelming after the first weekend.
[52:49] It kind of seems like the top 10 is going to be very close
[52:51] together. Yeah, I see it.
[52:53] I just, I don't know, I feel like there are four teams that
[52:56] are just ahead of everyone else. Liverpool.
[52:59] Barcelona, Chelsea and you can confidently say Chelsea are like
[53:02] comfortably ahead of everyone. No lot of the information that
[53:06] we have right now. Perfect segue into the Chelsea
[53:08] pals game. Yeah, yeah, because that was
[53:10] they. Didn't have a great performance.
[53:11] Not a great performance by Chelsea unfortunately.
[53:14] No. Joe.
[53:15] But Joe Pedro's going to be better than Esau.
[53:18] Jao Pedro file, who said that we're starting, we're starting
[53:20] the slamming names. Well, I don't know if he
[53:22] actually said. That I don't think he did.
[53:23] He probably. Didn't say that, but he said a
[53:25] lot of very positive things about Jon Pedro.
[53:29] He was OK, but like, it wasn't great.
[53:30] I don't know, it just did not seem like things were clicking
[53:33] well. The goals of Palmer has
[53:35] returned. Palmer has not scored a non pen
[53:37] goal in the Prem since last. Year January.
[53:40] You know, Palmer does more than that.
[53:41] He hasn't scored a non pen goal. But you know, he doesn't need to
[53:44] score to play good. So he's not a good no.
[53:45] Let me. Check his.
[53:46] Let me check these stats that you speak of that are so
[53:48] positive. In account of over, he was a top
[53:50] 2 asset. No, I, I definitely.
[53:52] Let's talk about What did Palmer say about Palmer?
[53:55] I'm just saying it's shocking for a player of his quality to
[53:59] do that. If Bruno, if Bruno hadn't
[54:01] scored, if Bruno is because you picked out, if Bruno hadn't
[54:06] scored a goal since January, we would be hearing that so.
[54:10] Because you're 15. 1315, Two out of five ground duels.
[54:13] One. I agree that you played four
[54:16] accurate crosses, one out of two accurate long balls, successful
[54:19] dribbles. You only did one.
[54:20] As I said, 47 touches for a Cam is peanuts.
[54:23] Absolutely peanuts. Yeah, you're looking at one
[54:25] game, but. I always call this shit out.
[54:29] His ghost sessions are invisible invisible.
[54:32] And then he does one. He's a big game player because
[54:34] he doesn't pressure doesn't get to him.
[54:36] And then it convinces everyone that he's he should be
[54:38] considered as the best. The best?
[54:39] The best big moments like. Oh he's a fucking world class
[54:42] player exactly. But maybe fringe?
[54:45] Me and Millie were speaking about it.
[54:46] That big gas golden Crest, I would hate having that on my kit
[54:52] for four years. Dude it does not look good.
[54:54] All these Chelsea fans want the kit.
[54:56] Yeah, 'cause it's the first year.
[54:58] Imagine in your fourth year you still have that big ass fucking
[55:00] yellow thing. Bigger than their Crest.
[55:01] Like I was looking at it and I'm like, it's it's.
[55:04] Hey, the proportions. Are on and when you had a
[55:06] sponsor when you had a sponsor to that front of the kit, which
[55:09] will inevitably happen. Look like a team of it's gonna
[55:11] bro. You're gonna have shit
[55:12] everywhere it's gonna look. Just I really, I really liked
[55:14] how like, you know, like those older, like Real Madrid kits,
[55:17] like FIFA World Cup champions and it had like the the club
[55:22] like that was a that was nice city.
[55:23] Sure, City City always had the gold.
[55:26] Crest, right? Yeah.
[55:26] And it was nice. I found.
[55:28] I find it like it didn't clash too much with the kid like this
[55:31] one. This is like a yellow.
[55:33] It's not even gold. Yeah, yellow.
[55:35] And it's big and circular. It's the same shape as your
[55:37] Crest. I didn't find it that bad.
[55:39] Yeah, I. Really don't know which kids
[55:40] look fucking good this year. Liverpool with the golden with
[55:43] the golden Prem logo on the side is.
[55:45] That's a blastic. Unfortunately, yeah, that is.
[55:48] Anyway, if they don't win the Prem with that kid.
[55:50] There's a problem. TK looks like he's ready to be
[55:52] an all timer in that kid IT. Reminds me of the Luis Suarez
[55:55] era kits. This is like, I want to scratch
[55:57] off their sponsor and then just slap Carlsberg on it and I'm
[56:01] like, that's an absolute banger of a kid.
[56:03] Right now, I would cop that kid. Not even.
[56:04] Not even a little. Yeah, that's a question though.
[56:07] I've I've seen that on on X. Man City's kids also look good.
[56:10] Is it is it bad to buy a kit from a a rival team?
[56:15] Yes, yes. The rival.
[56:17] The one who literally. Said I'll never bother.
[56:19] I would never wear a Milan or you, no.
[56:22] No, but what I'm saying like with the Liverpool kit, like
[56:24] dude, you might call I I wouldn't.
[56:25] Buy Arsenal. Arsenal.
[56:26] Liverpool. There's no like, yeah, like
[56:28] there is a rival. Yeah, and the Arsenal.
[56:30] I can buy a Spurs kit enough, yeah.
[56:32] That's what I mean like like you could buy any kits, let's say
[56:35] from the same league and it's not that bad of an.
[56:37] Issue. Same league, but you said
[56:38] rivals. OK, so like rivals would be
[56:40] Milan interim I'm I'm. Never buying a Milan kit
[56:42] regardless of how nice it is. No, but I'm buying a UV kit
[56:44] Arsenal. 2nd to Liverpool like last season.
[56:46] Your rivals, I get. That it's a bit.
[56:48] Weird you buy a Roma kit. I have.
[56:52] So say so say Roma. Roma wins Escudeto and Inter
[56:55] finishes second. Would you buy a Roma kit?
[57:00] No. But I've already bought 1.
[57:02] Nothing I can do. So yeah, I think rivalry is more
[57:04] like an intercity thing, like an Arsenal, Spurs or a Milan Intel.
[57:07] Yeah, maybe like Milan, Juventus, which is kind of the.
[57:09] You bet I'll never buy. Yeah, exactly, by the way.
[57:12] Just buy Milan, no? Enter city No.
[57:15] You just justified it by saying you wouldn't buy UV, but you
[57:17] wouldn't buy. Milan, No, I wouldn't buy Milan,
[57:18] but I wouldn't buy. UVA I think you just.
[57:20] Said you would buy Milan, so I wouldn't buy.
[57:22] You said I'd buy, you just said it.
[57:25] Anyways, I don't remember what I said.
[57:26] Chelsea, Chelsea gasoline, I think.
[57:29] I think Crystal Palace also deserves a little bit of credit.
[57:32] They played. Literally, they played pretty
[57:33] well, very well defensively, yeah, very solid.
[57:36] They couldn't break them down. Gay.
[57:37] He had a good game, yeah. I was having this.
[57:39] Warton had a very good game. Yeah, I was having this debate.
[57:41] Did Eze have a good game or? Not oh brother Stank.
[57:44] No, we're just keep it a straight dog.
[57:45] First half you brothers, first half he was good the.
[57:48] Second-half was whole he. Tried.
[57:49] He tried to cut the keys. He tried to take the keys.
[57:51] I thought he was. Kind of good that that free kick
[57:54] goal. That's a new rule that I haven't
[57:56] seen yet because the guy was like a.
[57:59] Meter from the wall. Who was it that pushed the other
[58:01] guy? Yeah Oh yeah, gay.
[58:03] He pushed Chelsea defender whatever and because he was like
[58:06] 1m too close or whatever yeah, the the gold didn't count, which
[58:09] I found that I don't know. I don't know how to feel about.
[58:12] That time to. Adjust that it's it's to stop
[58:13] people from it's stopping from like your team getting in the
[58:17] opponent's wall. I know, but they do.
[58:18] That at local league stop fights the Prem should be allowed.
[58:21] You should be allowed to stand wherever you want.
[58:23] It's. Being physical because then
[58:24] you're you're, you're getting in the opponent's walls.
[58:28] I have a question. Why can't some Why can't you
[58:31] kick the ball through a teammate's legs so you
[58:34] completely. Me and Millie were having all me
[58:36] and Millie. It seems like me and Millie
[58:37] talk. About Oh, you, you came to the
[58:38] studio earlier. But me and Millie were no, this
[58:40] was this was this was last week me and Millie were having this
[58:44] debate. Fucking remember PO scored a A
[58:47] ball when he deflected the ball. OK so someone shot it low and
[58:51] hard into the ball into the box and PO just put it this way and
[58:55] it went the other. Like why don't teams use
[58:57] deflections more? And we're we're comparing it to
[58:59] hockey. Like you see how many goals
[59:01] hockey scores? Just talking about like flexions
[59:03] in the front. Like if, if if he.
[59:04] Was in the front of the net if I.
[59:05] See my striker? If I see my striker in the box,
[59:08] yeah, but there's not enough time for me to launch a pass
[59:10] into him and he takes a touch and shoots instead.
[59:14] I fucking shoot the ball super hard on the and he places his
[59:17] foot in a way where it just directs just the flag.
[59:20] Sounds like a toppin. Like a redirection?
[59:21] No, not a toppin. Redirection like like how was.
[59:24] I mean, you could do that, you're allowed to do that, but
[59:26] good luck doing it versus Premier League defender.
[59:28] Like Peels back was to the towards goal So what happened
[59:31] was Darmian shot. Like he shot at the net and PO
[59:34] basically went like. PO practically shot at PO and PO
[59:37] just literally open to open and just flicked it inside.
[59:41] You could do that. Yeah.
[59:41] And then it just deflected it. One is the line is at the wall
[59:44] line, so you got to run to the net while with your back turned,
[59:48] yeah. His back was and.
[59:49] Deflect. It's like an exceptional
[59:50] situation. But I agree there could be some
[59:52] cookage going on there. Imagine a guy who runs over the
[59:54] ball, runs, starts running around the wall.
[59:56] You kick it to the the first player and he just taps to the
[59:59] guy in his run. Yeah.
[1:00:00] That ran around the wall like Arsenal have figured out the
[1:00:02] season, if it exists. There's a will.
[1:00:04] There's a way. That's an NFL hand off.
[1:00:06] That's a lot of role right there back to the QB.
[1:00:08] In NHL it's a solid like, bro, a lot of goals are scoring meta
[1:00:12] flexions, yeah. Deflections just get shots on
[1:00:14] net, they say. Yeah.
[1:00:15] That's all it is. And then somehow it'll find its
[1:00:17] way in, yeah. But yeah, Chelsea, I'm not, I'm
[1:00:20] not ready to write anything off. I think they were just decent.
[1:00:22] They didn't finish, but that's. But if I'm a Chelsea fan, there
[1:00:25] are, especially after broke Maresca's in in public, he's
[1:00:30] demanding a center back. Yeah, very weird, I thought.
[1:00:32] He's. Like well we last time I didn't
[1:00:34] play cold will center and if I'm a Chelsea center back I'm like
[1:00:37] what the fuck are you saying? Last time I played someone else
[1:00:40] other than Cold Will we played like absolute dog shit.
[1:00:43] Yeah, I know. I saw that.
[1:00:43] Said that in public. But I I liked.
[1:00:46] The actually I'm Pong was actually good.
[1:00:50] Yeah, I liked he was like taking a little bit of a risk, like
[1:00:53] trying to dribble through the middle because nothing was open.
[1:00:56] Yeah, Crystal Palace was literally blocking the middle.
[1:00:58] But I don't know if I'm a Chelsea fan.
[1:01:01] We have a we, we had Jay Patel I think on on the live stream, the
[1:01:05] live stream, he was a, he's a Chelsea fan who was massively
[1:01:08] optimistic. And then today he's like gender
[1:01:10] switch. Yeah.
[1:01:10] So I don't know if there's a lot of people to compete.
[1:01:13] It's the way. To do that, you get 3 billion
[1:01:16] later. I think the wingers too, like
[1:01:18] maybe a Javi Simmons was. That we haven't, we said this
[1:01:21] also Chelsea by players and they just move sideways.
[1:01:24] They make a bunch of sideways. Transfer.
[1:01:26] I don't see that. I know this one Gittens.
[1:01:27] Yeah. This year, if I told you last
[1:01:29] summer, yeah, you're going to go from Santro Pedro, Neto as your
[1:01:33] wing pairing to Gittens and Garnachel, That's fucking
[1:01:37] sideways. It's weird.
[1:01:38] Gittens, they're not that great of a game.
[1:01:40] No, he didn't at all. So.
[1:01:42] Yeah, definitely some adjustment.
[1:01:43] Period. I thought that looked all right,
[1:01:44] but still raw, like bad first touch and stuff.
[1:01:47] But. Had some moments but nothing
[1:01:50] crazy. But definitely kudos to Palace.
[1:01:53] Yeah, they caught a very good. Game and then jumping leagues.
[1:01:55] The last matchup we're talking about Mallorca versus Barcelona.
[1:01:58] It was a movie. It was a movie.
[1:02:00] There were 22 red cards in the first half.
[1:02:02] I don't know how many yellow cards.
[1:02:03] Should have gotten a red card but didn't, but that's OK that's
[1:02:06] all. That's the real fan talking but.
[1:02:11] That was a more Yamalazzo and Yamala assists.
[1:02:14] I think that's actually gonna cut.
[1:02:15] That's actually gonna. Keep up the Yamala you're
[1:02:18] telling you're saying the the cut in left foot shot that he
[1:02:20] costly. Just.
[1:02:21] It's just. The guy, the the.
[1:02:23] Commentator when he scored so. Yamalazzo.
[1:02:27] So instead of grow it. So it's nuts.
[1:02:29] Like I'm seeing the the same way Robin would cut in and then
[1:02:33] shoot every time. So.
[1:02:34] Natural How do? People not catch on to that.
[1:02:36] Inevitable. It's crazy.
[1:02:37] Inevitable. It's it's something that
[1:02:39] unfortunately is is doesn't seem like it'll be.
[1:02:42] It's unpatchable because if the guy's just if, the guy's good
[1:02:45] enough at doing it. Even if you anticipate it.
[1:02:47] If you anticipate it like you cheat and you, you cheat to
[1:02:50] cover it, well, you just you just let you just let the other
[1:02:53] side open now. If I gave you guys $100 to bet
[1:02:57] for next year, Yamau or the field for Balandor, which one do
[1:03:03] you take? Like who else?
[1:03:04] Wait, what do you mean the field?
[1:03:05] Like if you have to bet $100 on Yamal or anyone else winning
[1:03:10] the. Ball next year next.
[1:03:11] Year like this. Upcoming Ballando.
[1:03:13] Not the one that they're going to present now, but the one that
[1:03:14] they'll present after. So like, I mean, if he's.
[1:03:17] There, he's there, like. And bars is there too like.
[1:03:20] I'd be more confident in Yamal winning it than anyone else.
[1:03:24] Yeah, I would make that bet. He's going to be winning it.
[1:03:27] I don't know, bro, I think, I don't know, I might bet Yamal.
[1:03:29] But saying that's crazy, Yeah, because the field is like
[1:03:32] fucking Dembele Salah. Yeah, and bop it like you got.
[1:03:36] So dominant. Yeah, it's nuts.
[1:03:38] He has two signature moves too, like he has the cut in and shoot
[1:03:41] and he has the cut in and assists to Rafina on the other
[1:03:43] side. If if someone else makes that
[1:03:46] assist, it's like the best assistant their career for him.
[1:03:48] It's normal, but it doesn't even make news.
[1:03:50] And we got another 15 years of that, too.
[1:03:52] He does it once a game too. Like it's like Athena, I don't
[1:03:55] see the you guys were talking about a regression here.
[1:03:57] I don't see it because just simply.
[1:03:59] Playing with Yamal. Yeah, well, you got to take that
[1:04:01] into account. Fuck Barsa, you just gave real
[1:04:04] fans like the hardest tactic, the hardest thing to defend, not
[1:04:07] even defend, the hardest thing to hate on Yamal.
[1:04:10] Like as a relation to National as a Yamal fan.
[1:04:12] Like real. We got an answer to this.
[1:04:14] We need our own Yamal. I don't know how the fuck we're
[1:04:16] good, but Gonzalez Garcia ain't Yamal.
[1:04:19] Give him the 9. Give him the 9:00.
[1:04:21] We need to answer to this because when they got messy, we
[1:04:24] sent and got Ronaldo. We need to fucking find someone
[1:04:27] I'm. Supposed to be in Boppe bro.
[1:04:29] You had Vinnie. Well, you have Vinnie and
[1:04:30] Mboppe. Bro, if Esteval plays well next
[1:04:33] year, white white kid, there you go.
[1:04:35] We need to find. We need our answer because.
[1:04:38] This is not. Normal Anthony.
[1:04:40] I agree. There's no Anthony look like
[1:04:42] your mouth's answer in the city. Oh my God, bro, Hoyland just for
[1:04:45] you. 40 feet. Of comp.
[1:04:46] Straight comp. Actually Italy tare already.
[1:04:49] Oh yes, who do Barsa play up next?
[1:04:50] I want to see Barsa play versus a big.
[1:04:52] I know the answer, Kamata. What am I?
[1:04:55] Oh bro, he's balling us, Sir. I told you guys I have Madrid
[1:04:59] calling next. Tell us anything.
[1:05:01] I called it. We have a.
[1:05:02] Whole discussion about Madrid on the board.
[1:05:04] I come calling next year. Don't tell me you called the
[1:05:06] kamata will be. Generation.
[1:05:07] They won't call Milan for that, too.
[1:05:09] No straight delicious. Select the source and.
[1:05:11] Then Milan's gonna say, excuse me, let you We're supposed to
[1:05:14] talk about Kamata. No the.
[1:05:15] Fuck is the. Men are talking to you.
[1:05:17] The men are talking anyways. Real Madrid, how much you want
[1:05:20] for Klat? Becoming a talent factory
[1:05:21] because Dort. Leche, Ben.
[1:05:23] Hulman, Ben Borgu. Kamada Kamada is a kamada is a
[1:05:28] leche. Product in my way.
[1:05:29] They're not claiming that one. Kamada is a leche product.
[1:05:31] Let me let me introduce you to Hortici claiming that's crazy.
[1:05:34] Vino has been excellent in in, Yeah.
[1:05:36] Youth How many goals did he score for Milan?
[1:05:37] Who Kamada 0. OK.
[1:05:40] So more goals. More career goals for Leche than
[1:05:42] for Milan. Yeah, got it.
[1:05:44] Some player leaves Milan and now he scores every game.
[1:05:46] Got it. Never played.
[1:05:48] He got an assist in his debut. He never played for Milan,
[1:05:51] barely played. But you guys held him up to the
[1:05:53] crowd like he was. Like generational, He's
[1:05:56] generational. Generational but didn't score a
[1:05:58] goal. Bro he's fucking 16 what do you
[1:06:00] want him like he was like. I'm hearing Milan's Milan's
[1:06:05] standards are high but the guy hasn't even scored a goal in his
[1:06:07] generation. Rage beat over here.
[1:06:09] I don't get it. What's your?
[1:06:09] Anger. That's your rage, beat Angry.
[1:06:12] Bro next year when he's wearing Real Madrid white after they
[1:06:15] bought him. But that's after you come to
[1:06:17] Milan Leche. No, because the buyback clause
[1:06:19] not be going back to the. Italians oh, it's be good for me
[1:06:21] 'cause I don't have to watch. But he ends up at Liverpool and
[1:06:23] he says it's his dream move, like.
[1:06:25] A Giovanni Leoni. Yeah, Leoni.
[1:06:26] And he says Khalafi to our favorite center of all time was
[1:06:28] Van Dyke, apparently. Fuck.
[1:06:31] Anyway, that's it for the actual matches of the the matches of
[1:06:35] the week, but we are introducing a new segment this week
[1:06:37] presented by So Rare. It is our So Rare player of the
[1:06:40] week. So essentially what we're gonna
[1:06:42] be doing is each picking a player that's gonna cook.
[1:06:44] Well, in my case, definitely cook next weekend in football.
[1:06:48] But first you guys want to explain to them a little bit
[1:06:50] about how this. Going to work.
[1:06:51] So Solar is a fantasy app where you could pretty much set up
[1:06:54] your lineup every single week, win cash prizes.
[1:06:57] You could pick players from Premier League, Leaguer, Bunes
[1:07:00] Liga and La Liga and you can put yourself into win cash prizes.
[1:07:05] So basically like this week, I set it up.
[1:07:08] This week I had a Premier League pack, I opened it.
[1:07:12] I think I, I think I did decent. I got Danny Welbeck, I set my
[1:07:15] lineup. So now I'm available to win a
[1:07:16] cash prize. And if, let's say, Danny
[1:07:19] Welbeck, I mean, let's be real here, Danny Welbeck's not going
[1:07:21] to have a crazy week. But if Danny Welbeck were to
[1:07:23] have a crazy week, he could potentially even go up in value
[1:07:26] and I could make a bit of money on the side, you know, while
[1:07:28] winning the cash prizes. So now let's pick our players.
[1:07:30] I think I'm going to start off because I think I got to go and
[1:07:33] I was doing a little bit of looking into it.
[1:07:35] I don't know if you guys caught the Stuttgart, the Stuttgart
[1:07:37] Byron game, Super Cup, Super Cup game.
[1:07:40] Are you going to Stuttgart a lot?
[1:07:42] I am not going to Stuttgart, definitely not.
[1:07:43] I am going to Byron. Luis Diaz, Luis Diaz.
[1:07:47] Luis Diaz balled out. But there is just a odd
[1:07:50] sentiment around Luis Diaz at the moment, acting like this guy
[1:07:53] will not cook the Bundesliga, like destroy the Bundesliga.
[1:07:56] They play Leipzig though, which is not an easy performance.
[1:07:59] Leipzig Leipzig was asked last season.
[1:08:02] Defensively solid though they just struggled to score goals.
[1:08:06] Now they're going to struggle even.
[1:08:07] More. That's not a bad shout.
[1:08:08] I'm saying I'm. Saying bull and assists next
[1:08:10] weekend. I could see his value.
[1:08:11] Going up. Oh my goodness, I definitely.
[1:08:13] See Little Little assist to Alyssist to Kane and Kane gives
[1:08:15] him and it's. Probably a good investment.
[1:08:17] I'm not going to cap. Yeah, mine might be a bit
[1:08:20] biased, but you know me. I, I, I invest in.
[1:08:23] Ammo, Ammo Cunha. Sheshko.
[1:08:25] Oh, OK, because he's again, he's going to get his start.
[1:08:28] I think next week he's finally going to get started.
[1:08:30] And what proved to me in the Arsenal game is that he's going
[1:08:34] to get service. It's not going to be like last
[1:08:36] year where our strikers were an island up top and no one
[1:08:38] serviced them. I feel like with Bruno, Cunya
[1:08:41] and Bueno, he's going to get a lot of service probably.
[1:08:43] I might will start next week also.
[1:08:45] So you're telling me you're going to be putting your as
[1:08:47] you're sort of starting striker because you got that forward
[1:08:50] spot or you can put him at flex? I'm putting him all 5 positions
[1:08:53] to be honest but if I could sheshko shesh who's mentioned
[1:08:56] feshko sheshko Fulham? But yeah, I know, I see. 1/2 of
[1:09:01] the team. Yeah, but they're gonna sit back
[1:09:04] and shit happen. And dominate you do that.
[1:09:06] I'll get my points out of Halen on solar.
[1:09:08] I'm an FPL so don't worry. I might be a little late on this
[1:09:11] one, but it's never too late to jump on the reindeers train.
[1:09:14] I think that's my solar player of the week.
[1:09:15] Just because Master class over the weekend.
[1:09:18] Who says he doesn't do it again? No one agreed.
[1:09:21] I was thinking about reindeers. I can't cap.
[1:09:22] I'll sing. Too good versus Spurs.
[1:09:24] Versus Spurs, yeah. And the the the the price is
[1:09:27] probably low on reindeers because the casuals haven't
[1:09:30] caught on yet. But this guys gonna be world
[1:09:31] class. Caught on right?
[1:09:33] You're saying it's a good? He's the casual.
[1:09:35] Casual. If you watched him in his meal
[1:09:38] and days, yes, like you knew what this you knew what Man City
[1:09:40] were getting. But my thing is that people are
[1:09:43] probably and on so rare specifically people are
[1:09:45] attracted to goals and assists. Yeah, like.
[1:09:48] Got your goal in? Assists 100% but we know range
[1:09:50] is not going to end the season with 20 and 20.
[1:09:53] That's what you think? Come on, let's be real here.
[1:09:56] Last last year you got you're going to get those hands on on
[1:09:59] reindeers. You're going to be holding that
[1:10:00] stock until it's at $0.05. Oh, of course.
[1:10:03] Why not and? I'll be day trading, I'll be day
[1:10:05] trading. My, my, my day trading, my
[1:10:08] Voltamarez and my. Not bad, not bad.
[1:10:10] And listen, you tell me if the prices may be a little too high
[1:10:13] right now, but the hype is there, was there even before,
[1:10:16] honestly. Hugo Arcatique.
[1:10:18] So you're buying the all time high, but you're.
[1:10:20] This isn't even an all time high because on it, if you think
[1:10:22] about it, a lot of pressure on a new signing, especially a new
[1:10:25] forward, is that first goal. If a player takes a long time to
[1:10:29] get that first goal, it really affects what.
[1:10:31] If I told you Millie, he scored in preseason.
[1:10:33] I agree, but that first game, first real Premier League goal,
[1:10:37] like that's what's absolutely a legitimate game.
[1:10:39] So that's off his back, I do think.
[1:10:41] Make me check the stock price. Yeah, don't you think a lot of
[1:10:44] people are investing in Ekatika? I think it's going higher.
[1:10:48] Starting to fully invested but you know the Ekatika train has
[1:10:51] left. Left the station, but not at
[1:10:53] all. They're running right now to
[1:10:55] catch up to the train, but the train is already train is on.
[1:10:57] The train I'm catching, the train I'm catching is the so
[1:10:59] rare train. How much high?
[1:11:03] It's, it's looking high, Millie. It's all right, 15.
[1:11:05] It's gonna go higher. We all know it's gonna go
[1:11:08] higher. I guess it depends on the card
[1:11:09] too. Yeah, there's a SO.
[1:11:10] Rare train, but you. Don't think this could.
[1:11:12] I don't know. We'll see.
[1:11:13] We shall see, but. It hasn't really.
[1:11:16] It hasn't spiked. The charts looking good.
[1:11:19] Charts looking good. We're definitely like in an
[1:11:21] uptrend. We're in an uptrend.
[1:11:22] It's all right, got to catch it before the train leaves station
[1:11:25] though. Yeah.
