[0:19] Last one's game you ain't. Going home.
[0:21] Your Honor, I'm sorry. Your Honor, I'm sorry.
[0:52] Boys episode 82 when Barber starts it off with a very
[0:54] questionable pronunciation there.
[0:56] So my German German listeners, how rate the pronunciation in
[1:01] the comments? Last one's gin gin.
[1:03] Considering what what the original German sounded like.
[1:09] Six top tier. Can you can you?
[1:10] Can you pull up what it originally sounded like last?
[1:14] One's gin. Oh.
[1:15] That's pretty good. You need like a little bit of
[1:18] the H on that last one's gin. Comment down below.
[1:20] Which other language? Yeah, which language you want me
[1:22] to say let's go in? We're running out of languages.
[1:26] Million languages in the world and we still can't figure out
[1:28] which. Was gonna was gonna pull out
[1:29] Japanese but then Shohi Latani had to ruin our our our vibe
[1:33] this weekend. Not for.
[1:34] It's. Yamamoto ruin our but.
[1:37] Roughed in the office for some Canadians today.
[1:39] Yeah. I'm actually it's actually
[1:41] depressing. Yeah, it's very depressing.
[1:43] It's actually depressing. I like you.
[1:44] Somebody brings it up. I actually get angry.
[1:46] So for for people who only really watch like soccer slash
[1:50] football, how can we explain to them what what we just had to go
[1:54] through? Basically Millie, any team you
[1:56] follow really seems to really just choke.
[1:58] Right in the final, it's like I. Mean what if?
[2:00] They're 50. No, it's not 50.
[2:03] It would be like if you lost the SEAL final in the 94th and.
[2:07] You missed the pen, Real Madrid Atletico.
[2:09] Yeah, and you last minute and you, you choked like you
[2:11] dominated the game. Imagine a three nothing lead.
[2:15] This is actually like this is a didn't.
[2:16] Have a three nothing lead. Okay, maybe a 2 nothing lead 2
[2:20] nothing. I would say this is the
[2:21] equivalent of and then they end up tying it.
[2:24] You get back in the lead, they end up tying, then they go
[2:26] ahead. They're back up right back,
[2:28] they're back up right back in the winning goal.
[2:31] Yeah. I don't even know.
[2:32] It's not that bad. I mean, PSGPSG, they didn't.
[2:35] Come back like they they came back, but they the comeback
[2:38] wasn't what was. Crazy the team, the both teams
[2:40] were extremely even. It was like literally at the
[2:42] margins that decided the whole thing.
[2:44] But yeah, in case you guys are wondering, they were talking
[2:48] about the World Series. It was Blue Jays versus the
[2:50] Dodgers, game seven, biggest game of our lives in baseball,
[2:54] and Blue Jays choked. Blue Jays choked.
[2:56] The bad day to be a Canadian. Yeah, yeah.
[2:59] It was really depressing. Anyway, I mean, for for
[3:02] Montrealers, it's it's not as bad because we don't get sweet
[3:05] because we don't have to. We don't have to live with that.
[3:07] Like our city doesn't have to live with that.
[3:09] But there I think there would have been some celebrations
[3:11] downtown if for sure if the Blue Jays won for.
[3:13] Reference I was at the Montreal Canadiens hockey game and yeah,
[3:17] when there was when there was when there was home runs, the
[3:21] whole arena was going crazy. That just means that people like
[3:24] everyone was just watching on their phones.
[3:25] Yeah, well, I barely watched the hockey game in front.
[3:27] You know, after the hockey game, I think people stayed downtown
[3:29] to watch the Blue Jays game. I think they were staying at the
[3:32] Bell center. Could it be to watch it on the
[3:33] jumbo trunk? Did they put it?
[3:34] On the oh, I didn't I just ran out of there to get.
[3:36] I wanted to go watch the game as.
[3:37] Quickly, but Serrano, they sold out the the basketball arena
[3:40] there, I forget. The Rod Rogers?
[3:42] Not, not, no. The.
[3:44] Scotia Bank Arena Ohh should Bank Arena producers be coming
[3:46] in closer? I just know it as Air Canada
[3:49] Center but. Well, I mean no ones going to
[3:50] watch the Raptors. So I mean, it kind of makes
[3:52] sense about about the Raptors blow so.
[3:54] Leafs blow as well. But yeah, it was it was a fun
[3:57] run though. We all got into baseball over
[3:59] the last like couple. Of super fun stint it's like
[4:02] that girl you meet on vacation yeah you meet her on the first
[4:05] day bro you're you spend 2 weeks with her and then.
[4:07] Pump and dump. And now I'm now I'm gone, now
[4:09] I'm now I'm not watching the Jays until next fucking.
[4:11] But they have to be at least like a conference final for me
[4:14] to see you next October. It's it's it, it's so gutting
[4:17] because the team, the expectations of the Jays at the
[4:19] beginning of the season, bro, they were, like they said,
[4:21] bottom of. The they were predicted to be
[4:23] like 4th in our division or fifth in our division.
[4:25] They were plus 6000 in the beginning of season 12.
[4:27] Yeah, the world. The World Series.
[4:29] Yeah, it's kind of nuts. And just the fact they got there
[4:31] with like a bunch of scrap, like scrappy guys, that these guys
[4:34] aren't All Stars, you know? But yeah.
[4:35] But at the end of the day, like the Jays, spend money.
[4:37] Yeah, but this summer we have Bichette, who's a.
[4:39] For Asian, we have We have Shane Bieber, who's a.
[4:44] For hockey, but I guess if you don't know hockey, Montreal
[4:47] Canadiens versus Tampa Bay. No, we got dominated.
[4:51] We. Were going up against the
[4:51] dynasty. We were a team that wasn't
[4:53] supposed to. We got.
[4:54] Dominated. There was not even one minute at
[4:56] Stanley Cup Final where you thought you were winning.
[4:58] Game 4 when we won in Montreal. But no, this was honestly such
[5:03] an even game. And what we saw was the Jays won
[5:07] games that they like, they destroyed the Dodgers, but then
[5:10] every close game they just couldn't close it out and the
[5:13] Dodgers ended up. Winning the the Dodgers this
[5:15] year, Loki had that Real Madrid about them where it's.
[5:17] Like they're they're getting. Dominated, but they just win
[5:20] somehow. It's like Benzema Balandor
[5:22] season, exactly like much more. Time he dropped the Benzema
[5:25] Balandor on us and you just got a game.
[5:27] Respects game he might be for people are unaware he might be
[5:31] one of the best athletes of all time.
[5:33] I I I definitely agree, but it's just in this specific series I
[5:37] don't think he was as much of a deciding.
[5:39] Factor I took points off of him. Especially like game seven, game
[5:42] seven, he choked like he he really did not do a good job
[5:45] even at bat. Like I think he maybe he got on
[5:46] base once or twice, but like dude like Yamamamoto, the
[5:50] pitcher for the. Dodger pitcher, yeah, him.
[5:51] That was crazy that, that was crazy.
[5:53] Not watching him. I I don't have that much
[5:55] experience watching baseball to be honest, but just seeing that
[5:58] guy pitch. When you feel the fear of a, of
[6:01] a guy pitching and it's just like dude, like you actually.
[6:03] Started pitching, I don't know. I don't know about you guys, but
[6:05] like my hopes were gone. I I, I he.
[6:08] Does your? He walked up confident.
[6:10] I had a feeling that if this game went into extras, we'd lose
[6:12] it like I I knew that this the way that we were back, momentum
[6:16] shifting. It was momentum shifting because
[6:20] Bichette, Bichette getting pulled out for the kind of
[6:23] Falafa and it was just like dude and then Varsho not.
[6:26] Hit. He was reminiscent of the of
[6:28] when we did a pinch a pinch runner for.
[6:30] Kirk yeah, same thing. It was the 1818 inning game like
[6:33] it was, you knew we weren't scoring because we had no one to
[6:36] hit. Yeah.
[6:37] Bichette I kind of for left. I bunted to get on base and then
[6:41] I mean if you had Bobichette there, he would have probably
[6:43] gone to base, hit and probably. Withdraw the injuries like
[6:46] Springer. All these guys know what's wrong
[6:48] with Springer's fucking rib, bro.
[6:50] These guys were cooked like, yeah, yeah.
[6:51] I don't know how he even got back because they were saying
[6:53] anything. Oblique injury, like you're not
[6:55] making it back. But he was probably on honestly,
[6:58] that's probably why he the second base when he got out,
[7:00] whatever he must have, maybe he was like crazy.
[7:01] The guys probably pumped up on so many meds to play.
[7:05] And it it was cool to see the the little part where everybody
[7:08] ran onto the field because of Jimenez.
[7:10] A little scrap there. Yeah, that was a little scrap,
[7:12] but. In baseball, they do that as
[7:14] soon as they start chirping. It's like both benches are just
[7:17] ready, but it's like ready to go.
[7:18] They did nothing. Like you're just walking onto
[7:20] the field to impose yourself. Like, yeah, I don't know.
[7:22] It's funny to see it's. Cool.
[7:23] It was a good, it was a good run.
[7:24] I'm glad baseball kind of kind of got a little bit of a
[7:27] resurgence there for a for a good month or so.
[7:29] I think it got the casuals looking because I I saw even on
[7:32] our in our discord a couple of people were talking about it.
[7:34] I don't know if they follow baseball, but it's like I feel
[7:37] it got to Europe, which I don't know if that was the case other
[7:39] years, but I mean, it is the World Series.
[7:41] But I think, I think the game's more international now than it's
[7:44] ever been because again, you have the Dodgers, which half of
[7:47] that team is basically outsourced from Japan.
[7:49] That's true. Yeah, that they have.
[7:50] A bunch of Japanese followers that are following the sport and
[7:53] then Toronto's from Canada like we're a Canadian team.
[7:56] So like you just got the two, the two you, you locked in two.
[7:59] Massive market like international markets.
[8:01] So I, I think definitely, especially in, in Canada, the
[8:04] sports gonna have a bit of a comeback.
[8:06] It's been dead for a while, but now I think it's coming back and
[8:09] hopefully it continues. I'm a I'm a massive baseball
[8:10] fan. So it was also, not to cut you
[8:13] off, but it was also Halloween weekend, which is pretty big.
[8:15] I mean, this literally anywhere you are in the world.
[8:18] Firms actually in Italy, do they celebrate Halloween?
[8:20] Yeah, Yeah, they do. So.
[8:21] Not as much as North America, I would say, but.
[8:24] So so our weekend we had So what's it Thursday night?
[8:29] Thursday night, me Paula firms went out.
[8:31] Millie, we have to discuss why do you not want to come out with
[8:35] us? Like what's the vibe?
[8:36] Interventions like these are Christmas intervention.
[8:38] It was it was because the the next day.
[8:41] I hate it, it's disgusting. Disgusting.
[8:43] But no, the next day I there was a Halloween party like going out
[8:48] on the Friday. I'm like 2 nights in a row.
[8:49] I can't. Row double Halloween party.
[8:51] What's the problem? Millie, you.
[8:53] Understand. OK, I usually I don't really go
[8:55] out much, but Halloween weekend, we make some exceptions, OK,
[8:58] It's like you, you have to Friday night, Thursday, Friday,
[9:03] Saturday, bro. I don't got that in me.
[9:06] I don't got that in me. Bro I don't have it in me either
[9:08] but I'm I was exhausted all day long bro.
[9:11] I mean, and I got sick. Bro you gotta do it for
[9:13] Halloween. You don't have to stay for the
[9:14] entire night. Yeah, like we left that.
[9:16] We left at what time 1:00 or 1:30 is like, like that's that
[9:18] if you're in bed at 1:30, like no, it's basically you're in bed
[9:22] usually. I'm usually in bed at like 12:00
[9:23] or 12:30 for the first three people to leave the yeah, yeah,
[9:26] knock on cap, we were but straight.
[9:28] Business. It was funny.
[9:29] We bought, we brought two of our boys.
[9:31] They just stayed and they spent the rest of the night.
[9:33] It was we brought this Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
[9:36] We left those motherfuckers in there.
[9:37] We left. But yeah, that that was that
[9:41] made it odd. Yeah.
[9:42] And then Saturday night we saw we saw a viewer also a couple of
[9:46] viewers like you. You were you, you were inside.
[9:49] I think I was outside and like there was a pack of five or six
[9:52] viewers that came up to me and they asked for no, no for
[9:54] pictures. I.
[9:54] Heard about it? While I was leaving Lore, there
[9:57] was a pack of five people and I just they were just talking
[9:59] about takes like they're like, they're like whispering like I
[10:02] was gonna take. I'm like when I hear someone in
[10:04] public say, bro, his mistakes, I know they're talking about me as
[10:07] I'm walking by them. Yeah, the young guys.
[10:09] Yeah, it was. Young there was 1 as a
[10:11] construction worker and stuff. But yeah, it was it was fun
[10:14] meeting everyone. There was an Interfan that came
[10:16] out to us. Yeah.
[10:17] That's true with the best costume I'm assuming.
[10:19] It was, it was a masquerade. So I mean, we had all, we all
[10:22] dressed up, fully suited up. With the mask.
[10:24] And a mask. I had a Batman mask.
[10:26] Paula, Paula. Paula stole it for a couple.
[10:28] Minutes I didn't have a mask nor did I wear.
[10:30] I wear I wear AT shirt and it. Was funny because the night
[10:33] before I know someone I've been to the event last year and I
[10:37] called him I'm like, okay, do you want to come this year?
[10:39] He's like, no I'm studying so whatever I can't come.
[10:43] He's like you do know you need to wear a mask to this I'm like
[10:46] fuck you mean you need to wear a mask, bro like I thought people
[10:48] you just show up in a suit. You know he's like no bro, you
[10:51] show up like most people are in mask.
[10:53] I call pal. I'm like bro palader.
[10:55] No, you know we need to show up in a mask.
[10:57] He's. Like $5 store.
[10:57] No, bro, you don't trust me. No, you don't.
[11:00] You don't. So then, so then whatever I go
[11:03] about my day and I know someone else that's going there like,
[11:05] yeah, I'm bringing a mask. I'm like, oh fuck it.
[11:06] So all this Saturday I'm just trying to figure out where the
[11:08] fuck do I find the mask 'cause I can't order off Amazon.
[11:10] The Halloween stores are closed. Yeah, it.
[11:12] Was Friday? No, it was Friday.
[11:13] It was on Halloween. Oh, it was on.
[11:15] Yeah, it was Friday. That's not even try.
[11:16] So then I'm I'm I'm trying to find, I've found the my mom had
[11:20] this fucking stupid Batman mask for that was 1.
[11:23] Of your old costume. Yeah, exactly.
[11:25] So I just grabbed that and then with.

[11:28] I'm not that capped out. I might.
[11:30] I might have been the best dressed person there, yeah.

[11:48] fully fully. You look dapper, yeah.
[11:51] So. Yeah, we got into one.
[11:53] Yeah. Must have been a Zoom.
[11:55] So. So the tickets, you have to pay
[11:57] for the tickets ahead of time, you know, but they don't.
[11:59] You don't get anything with your ticket.
[12:00] I don't know if the European mind can comprehend you.
[12:03] You pay $40 just to get in and you don't get a drink.
[12:06] Because I know in Europe when you go to clubs and stuff, it's
[12:08] like 20 bucks, €20 for a ticket and you get like a beer and A
[12:12] and a shot. You know when you go in.
[12:13] He was just 40 just to walk in the middle of.
[12:15] Walking you know I I have some insider information we got the
[12:17] woman price. Really.
[12:19] Yeah, we got the girl price because.
[12:21] We got it because we got it through a woman.
[12:22] Yeah, yeah, we got, we, we got tickets because I'm like I'm.
[12:26] Speaking, I must be like, shit, we got let's go 16 guys pull up.
[12:31] Yeah, so, so the girl price was $40, the guy price was $60.40
[12:35] dollars. Yeah, but whatever, that's
[12:37] that's not right. Whatever.
[12:39] Not right at all. It's not right that guys have to
[12:41] pay girls more than women. We should be.
[12:43] Quality women have to pay. Conversations, yeah.
[12:45] Supplying the man no. No, no, both should pay 40.
[12:48] I know we're gonna we're gonna bump them up.
[12:52] And the drinks cost the 30 bucks.
[12:53] When you go yeah, yeah, now the. Drinks are crazy one.
[12:57] I didn't get any tea. You know me.
[12:58] I don't go for the crazy drown. There's no flames or anything.
[13:01] Let me get past the wreck. Let me get a a gin tonic.
[13:04] Yeah, 30 bucks. And $30 one of our friends got a
[13:08] drink for him and his girlfriend.
[13:09] They were double. They did a double shot.
[13:11] OK, $120.00 for two drinks. Well, I would take that drink.
[13:15] I would take that drink like double shot.
[13:17] In the like let's say it was a gin and tonic or whatever it was
[13:20] a double shot of gin they would that cost 120.
[13:23] Dollars that's you leave it on the table.
[13:25] No thanks. No.
[13:26] No, I had one drink that's. Crazy to me.
[13:29] But I had a couple of drinks beforehand.
[13:31] What's OK? Don't cap.
[13:32] What's the most expensive drink that you guys have ever had in
[13:36] your life? Like, like where the bills
[13:38] showed up and you're like, this can't be.
[13:40] I well, I fucked up at a club once.
[13:42] I got a shot. I didn't tell.
[13:43] I didn't tell them the bottom shelf.
[13:45] They brought me the top shelf and I was with a friend.
[13:48] Bro fucking I don't know, it was like 30 bucks maybe.
[13:50] Even more I I shot $38. Shot.
[13:53] That's a rookie number. Yeah, Yeah.
[13:55] It's not more bro, OK. I got a tequila tonic and they
[13:59] asked me to tequila and I'm like mid middle of the shelf.
[14:01] Yeah. And it was like $38 for the
[14:03] alcohol. OK drinking them costing me 40.
[14:06] We it was a producer tea actually in Dublin.
[14:09] I think it was like in. Dublin they scam.
[14:10] You, Oh my God, we went to we went to the Temple Bar.
[14:13] It's the best, the like most historic bar in Dublin.
[14:15] Whatever me and my brother, like, we snuck out, you know,
[14:17] and we go and I only had Canadian dollars on me.
[14:21] I only had Canadian dollars tackles.
[14:22] There, but yeah. So, so I'm like, they actually
[14:25] had the currency exchange there and I think what we paid for
[14:27] what. Exchange at a public.
[14:28] Yeah, 'cause they knew we were coming.
[14:30] They knew we were. I think we paid what I think
[14:32] like almost $100 for like for like a rum and Coke and a beer
[14:38] or something. Yeah, that's crazy.
[14:39] I, I OK that that might, I don't know, for value for money, yours
[14:42] might actually be worth. But for me in Las Vegas once,
[14:46] OK, we before dinner, it was me, my sister, her fiance and my
[14:50] sister's best friend. We go down, all four of us, and
[14:54] it's it's we we want to get a shot right before we go to
[14:59] dinner. OK, so my sister's fiance says,
[15:02] yeah, just got me four shots of tequila.
[15:04] He says, what tequila? He says surprise me.
[15:07] Oh no, that's. Not that's.

[15:19] Zool. Yeah, Zool.
[15:20] Go talk about. You're like no, no, no, tap the.
[15:24] Bill And in Las Vegas, you know, everything's like three times
[15:27] the price or two times the price.
[15:29] It was 100 USA shot. Yeah, I know.
[15:31] Oh my God, that's crazy. 100 USA.
[15:33] Shot. That's worse than mine.

[15:36] Oh, but he only found that out. You guys, he gets the bill.
[15:39] It's 400 bucks US. He's like, what the fuck?
[15:41] It was four shots. These guys, yeah, I know it's
[15:43] St. Scandal, yeah, but whatever you
[15:45] live in, you live it's. The same, obviously, at the end
[15:47] of the day. Also.
[15:48] Sorry bro, what is the economical sense behind Like how
[15:51] much could it really cost? Because they know, they know
[15:54] that you are desperate. Like I'm not, I'm not a drinker.
[15:58] So for me, I just find this crazy.
[16:00] In Vegas are not desperate. But they know.
[16:02] They know you're not gonna go walk across the street to get
[16:04] it. But it's I think it's just more
[16:06] like they'll serve you first and they as long as you're not.
[16:08] I think it's, I think it's more it's Loki a scam because they
[16:11] they know you aren't, you're not gonna ask for the price
[16:13] beforehand. Yeah.
[16:14] So they just fuck you once you get it.
[16:16] Yeah, exactly. And then, and then if you're
[16:17] around people, you're not gonna be pulling a whole fit about it.
[16:20] You're gonna Vegas 'cause I know.
[16:21] It's Vegas, I'll go win it back. I know someone who had a similar
[16:23] situation to me but in Miami and he asked like, bro, why is this
[16:27] alcohol? Is this expensive?
[16:28] He's like welcome to Miami. Oh yeah, you're good too.
[16:34] Bro. Welcome to Miami.
[16:37] But but yeah, and also in the last week we actually had our
[16:40] first. So we we secured a deal with the
[16:42] Brazilian league to to we are able to stream.
[16:44] I think we're doing four more games to close the season, maybe
[16:47] one or two more, but four more games and we have the actual
[16:52] game rights. Yeah, to the Brazilian league.
[16:54] So last week we had a blast. I mean, we watched that we
[16:57] wanted. To put a hiccup in between,
[16:59] Yeah, we got it figured out that.
[17:00] Was funny. Yeah, that was funny.
[17:02] Though, so it was funny because we're doing our stream and
[17:06] they're like, bro, how'd you guys secure the rights?
[17:08] And we're telling the stream we're like, we're talking to the
[17:10] chat. We're like, bro, don't worry
[17:11] about it. But we got motion like we got
[17:13] motion like that. I know.
[17:14] Let's just say we, we, we, we did some work behind the scenes
[17:18] next day. That's the Jack.
[17:19] Stream literally 10 seconds later man, you have been taken
[17:23] off copyright strike. So then we're like, what the
[17:25] fuck? Is happening.
[17:26] We're actually pissed. Like we were like dude what?
[17:28] Like this doesn't make any sense like.
[17:29] We no 'cause then like everything then like while we're
[17:31] off Varvar, Varvar's looking up online.
[17:33] Like what happens if you have a shake on YouTube and it's like
[17:36] you can't? Post for a week and stuff like
[17:37] that. You have to go to copyright
[17:39] school. Yeah.
[17:40] They send this back to school. Yeah.
[17:42] What we're like, dude, this can't be right.
[17:44] We're trying to get back on it. But then low key shows.
[17:47] To the the the the intermediary. Yeah, they we got that shit
[17:50] taken away. Shout out to the IT crew.
[17:54] We got a couple, a little bit of motion we got, we got in contact
[17:58] with the Brazilian league, we got it figured out if we were
[17:59] back up and running right after half time.
[18:01] When I was six, bro. Yeah.
[18:02] And it was. Got the strike too, like
[18:03] everything was chill. And it was it was sick.
[18:05] It was actually sick. I was rewatching the stream like
[18:07] after and it's it's actually insane that you get to watch
[18:10] like the real game footage as you're watching us on live
[18:14] stream. So I think we have a game on the
[18:15] sick. That's why I'm wearing the
[18:17] Santos Pal is wearing the pal. Is for a different reason.
[18:19] I know we got that stream on the sick because that's going to be
[18:21] yeah, Santos. Neymar came back last game by
[18:24] the way. Almost scored an insane free
[18:26] kick, but whatever. Why are we all left kick?
[18:28] Almost didn't score. I watched it then.
[18:30] You saw the free. Kick.
[18:31] Yeah, almost. There was no chance at him
[18:33] going. He did he, you remember that
[18:35] penalty he did back in the day where he fake kicked it one way
[18:37] and kicked it the other way. He did it for a free kick.
[18:39] Now he walked, he ran up, fake kicked it.
[18:42] The goalie like moved to the left and he shot it right, but
[18:45] the goalie still saved the goal. Didn't did he have two free
[18:47] kicks? No, he had one.
[18:49] I'm talking about a free kick where he stops right before he
[18:51] fake shots the wall jumps and as the walls landing he shoots.
[18:55] He doesn't have to get it so high over the wall, 'cause I'm
[18:56] not jumping anymore. No, I didn't see that one.
[18:58] Yeah, it was a crazy, that's the one I'm talking about.
[19:01] But that was it was a crazy free kick.
[19:04] I'm wearing this kid because one just be even 2 today, 20 and 2.
[19:09] I know there's someone out there and I I don't know who it was on
[19:11] Instagram, but commented like, well, you, you have to address
[19:14] you're supporting a team that just lost 30 in the Copa
[19:17] Libertadores first leg versus Kyoto, the LDU, whatever.
[19:21] But we got the kid right there. Wanker wanker brother, you just
[19:23] lost 4354. Nil in the second leg is kind of
[19:28] I think. Final, and I think it's versus
[19:30] firms. Flamenger is just the biggest
[19:32] club in Brazil. That might actually.
[19:34] Might have to be a watch along. Let us let us and guys let us
[19:36] know in the shack we we will have the TV rights for this
[19:38] because the Copa Libertadores is crazy.
[19:40] But if you guys want to have a Copa Libertadores watch along,
[19:43] let us know. If you're in the halftime show.
[19:44] Yeah, yeah, I know. 'Cause I, I the thing pops up on
[19:47] my the old, you know the old, the one where stuff, it's the
[19:49] palms, the palms open and you guys singing Dun Dun and
[19:53] everyone, the crowds going like this.
[19:54] Yeah, my chants are crazy. Like I want to see the the
[19:56] halftime show. The football is entertaining,
[19:58] man. Like at the end of the day, like
[20:00] there's no real tactics. It's just back and forth.
[20:02] It's like a basketball. Game We were watching Palmeta's,
[20:05] there was one of the worst tackles I've ever seen in my
[20:08] life. And we caught that.
[20:10] We caught. That and that.
[20:12] Shit was a yellow card. I could not understand how that
[20:16] was not a red. Right below the knees and we're
[20:18] just like that's. Got a red the kneecap.
[20:21] Not even. They gotta scratch it out.
[20:22] They got to bring on the. Ambulance, the guy, ambulance
[20:24] rolling on the pitch, that yellow card, it was crazy.
[20:27] And it's funny to see, like a Vito Roque like roaming around.
[20:30] There's yeah. Who else played good?
[20:32] I gotta raise potato. Yeah.
[20:33] And there's potato was playing good some.
[20:35] Gomez, Milan legend. Banter legend.
[20:38] And some Ballers in there, honestly, and I honestly thank
[20:40] you guys for supporting us as well if you guys were on the
[20:42] stream. Not for real like the.
[20:44] Honestly, the amount of Brazilian fans that we saw, like
[20:47] even after the fact, like in the comments section or whatever.
[20:49] On our Instagram on. Our Instagram too, like you guys
[20:52] are showing up, so definitely November. 6th.
[20:54] Yeah, November 6th market in the calendar.
[20:56] The first time 'cause we all four of us chose our teams.
[20:58] You guys can see that on Instagram.
[20:59] Yeah, but me and Vava are playing versus each other.
[21:02] So first head to head, first head to head on box to box.
[21:05] There will be, there will, there will be a couple more, but yeah,
[21:08] that's gonna be a massive, massive match.
[21:09] Be there. What time is it out on November
[21:10] 6th? 637. 3738 PM Thirty 7:30 PM EST.
[21:15] Also, we gotta fucking cut this daylight savings bullshit.
[21:17] I don't know who gets needs to figure this shit out, but it
[21:19] should not be dark outside at 4:30.
[21:20] But whatever, that's a whole other conversation.
[21:22] At 7:30 Eastern Standard. You got, you guys showed up
[21:24] today, all you guys showed up and it was like.
[21:26] It's dark. It's black, Yeah.
[21:27] Page pitch. But I'm like, I don't remember
[21:29] it like this, bro. It's crazy.
[21:31] It's like doomsday, yeah. Bookie Batman.
[21:32] I like the dark. No, I hate the dark Bruce Wayne.
[21:34] Hello, John Wayne. John Wayne, John Wayne.
[21:37] Bro I I I become so much more productive when it's dark
[21:39] outside. I'm the complete opposite of
[21:41] you. If it's darker, I get a
[21:43] productive even I. I've I it actually the the the
[21:47] cold weather and the darkness early has actually fucked up my
[21:50] mood. I'm not even kidding.
[21:51] No, I, I think that's no it. Happens every year though.
[21:53] It happens every year, like every time every year around
[21:57] this time it's like I just get a bit more depressed for some
[21:59] reason. Like it's not bad depression,
[22:01] like I'm not depressed, but it's like summer, you're such a high
[22:04] like every day you're like, oh, I can't wait to go out for a
[22:07] walk or some shit. But now it's.
[22:08] Summer's the best. And like, everyone talks about
[22:11] February like it's the Grim Reaper.
[22:12] Yeah, but bro, like February already know it's cold.
[22:14] Yeah, I know it's cold. I'm looking forward to this, to
[22:17] the spring. Right now, it's the worst.
[22:18] I'm looking forward to nothing but winter.
[22:19] Yeah, exactly. Summers waiting for that first
[22:21] snowfall to come. Christmas.
[22:23] I guess you got Christmas. And having to spend a shit ton
[22:25] of money on Christmas gifts. Whatever.
[22:29] I'm going on vacation for this Christmas.
[22:30] Woo, no, as in I'm not getting no one.
[22:32] Guess I'm going on vacation. That's actually.
[22:34] Vacation. That's a good one.
[22:35] Staycation. Yeah, I'm gonna be in Florida.
[22:37] I'm going down with the geese most.
[22:39] Most of all photos of you from vacations like 6 years ago now
[22:41] DND I talked to you. Now the border.
[22:45] But yeah, we can get, we can get into the football.
[22:47] So we'll start off in the Premier League.
[22:49] Chelsea, Spurs was a very, I'm not going to say entertaining
[22:52] because it wasn't one side. It was just literally one side
[22:54] dominance. Chelsea dominated this game for
[22:56] a minute, one to minute 90. Ansel Mareska actually set up
[23:00] his team pretty well. But I think the Spurs team is
[23:04] actually severely overrated. I can't cap.
[23:06] I'm I'm kind of going to agree with that.
[23:09] I think people are realizing that their performances are
[23:11] dropping, but we really saw nothing.
[23:13] Nothing. They have one win at home all
[23:15] season. That's concerning.
[23:16] That's not great. But is it more of a like they're
[23:19] not just keeping the consistency?
[23:21] Up. Situation because The thing is
[23:23] that on the table like they're top five.
[23:25] Yeah, that's the thing, so. Like they're getting points
[23:27] somewhere, but obviously in these big matches, this is where
[23:29] where you kind of need to move yourself.
[23:31] If you look at the Prem table, you're one loss away from being
[23:34] 13th or 12th like. It's pretty close, yeah.
[23:37] It's not like it's not like 5th place, you're like 6 points
[23:40] clear 5th place. It's like you're 5th place but
[23:42] next game we could be 11. Same about all the other ones.
[23:44] Yeah, yeah, 100%, 100. Percent like they're in the
[23:47] they're they're still. But they're trending down.
[23:49] That's my point. They started off as a high.
[23:50] I remember I wasn't there that week, but when when Tottenham
[23:54] beat Man City 3 nil, like I remember listening to the
[23:56] podcast and it was like holy shit, Spurs.
[23:57] Like they actually look very good like.
[23:58] Rated them we. Rated.
[24:00] Them. They.
[24:00] Have a good piece. Of XG.
[24:01] Yeah, they are. They're one of the worst XG
[24:03] teams in the league. They have 17 goals off of 10.1
[24:06] XG. Yeah, that's why bro, one of our
[24:08] friends Zerxini rolling, if you watch the FPL draft video, he
[24:11] loaded up on on on Spurs. Who?
[24:13] Spurs ask. Shabi Simmons.
[24:15] Yeah, Simmons Kudus. Kudus but Kudus has like 6
[24:19] assists from 2 point something XG.
[24:20] It's like it's completely non sustainable.
[24:22] I tried telling him this. That's why his team's in last.
[24:24] World, he's a defender. He has a Romero.
[24:26] Yeah, yeah, he does have Romero, Yeah.
[24:29] But their defense is actually not bad.
[24:30] Like that's the one thing I'll give them.
[24:31] But even though this performance against Chelsea, they got it
[24:33] wasn't good, their defense has actually been pretty solid
[24:36] statistically. So I'll give them that, yeah.
[24:38] We always say that Spurs defensively are good pieces, but
[24:41] attacking like going forward, Shabby Simmons has not been that
[24:44] good at all. He's been, I would argue so far
[24:47] this summer he's been the worst transfer of the Prem.
[24:49] Probably up there 100. By far the worst transfer.
[24:51] I don't know, I would actually be more confident because
[24:54] Alanga's just not playing. That's the difference.
[24:56] No, Shavi Simmons is playing and he's been absolute dog shit.
[24:59] I think many from Alanga's 55,000,000 lbs Shavi Simmons
[25:02] wasn't 55. Million.
[25:03] He was 60 million. 60 He was more.
[25:04] He was 60 He was more. He was more.
[25:06] He was £60 million. I'm pretty sure.
[25:09] Yeah, he was I'd. Rather even have taken the risk
[25:11] on Shavi Simmons than Alanga. I find that was the worst
[25:14] transfer to Summer. I think Shavi Simmons, your
[25:15] coming in expecting such a high ceiling with the with the with
[25:18] the kid because it's like he's proven it on an international
[25:21] level proved it in the Bundesliga as well.
[25:23] So it's like you you're getting a good product, but he has not
[25:27] translated well to the Premier League at all.
[25:29] Yeah, which which is a shame because he is a a player that
[25:32] has good technique, good skill, like he could take over a game
[25:35] if he wants. But like right now in the
[25:37] premier, it seems like he can't catch up.
[25:39] He's not. He's not keeping up the pace
[25:41] with it. Yeah, and it's weird because he
[25:43] is very technical, but we haven't even seen that like.
[25:46] There's no space and and there's so much space for attackers so
[25:50] that a player like he actually reminds me a lot of when Jaden
[25:53] Sancho during the Prem where you can tell that there's technical
[25:55] ability, but the space is not there.
[25:57] And he doesn't have the burst or acceleration to actually beat
[25:59] defenders one-on-one. Yeah, but.
[26:00] Look at this league, man. Look at Kudus incredibility.
[26:03] Like Kudus who? Loses a lot quicker than him, a
[26:05] lot quicker and he's a lot more aggressive.
[26:08] Like you can tell in his stride that that there's way more
[26:11] purpose behind his running than than a shavy Simmons.
[26:13] He looks like he's kind of not even trying at times.
[26:15] Shavy Simmons. Meanwhile Kudus it's aggressive
[26:18] like it like even though statistically 2 point something
[26:22] expected assists like you can tell Kudus the level above his
[26:25] teammates in my personal opinion when you watch Tottenham.
[26:28] Yeah, and the striking situation, like they they
[26:30] they're rotating, rotating. They're rotating between
[26:33] Kolamwani, Ray Charleston, Solanke's been injured for so
[26:36] long. Like they still don't have that
[26:38] main striker that scores all these goals.
[26:40] They're figuring it out. I think even the midfield is a
[26:43] problem like Paulina and Ben Tancour are like Paulina does
[26:47] not make one pass forward. So we sideways or.
[26:49] Backwards, you could have one of the two.
[26:51] I don't think you have both of the two like they're they're
[26:54] missing a, would you say they're missing a ball carrier?
[26:58] I find they're missing creative player.
[27:00] Like if Shavi Simmons supposed to be that, yeah, that would
[27:02] help. But yeah, Chelsea for me was
[27:05] dominant, like Kaisero, absolutely dominant.
[27:08] Probably like we we saw Maresca say, between him and Rodri,
[27:12] those are the best CDM's in the world.
[27:13] Charles Pedro goal was all. All him, that pressing was
[27:16] crazy. Yeah, he won the ball and then
[27:18] he gave the assist. Yeah, that was Kaisero really
[27:21] has taken himself up a level since this transfer.
[27:25] So definitely one of the best CMS in the world.
[27:27] I don't know we we have Arsenal next so he can wait on the
[27:30] Declan Rice conversation. But like Declan Rice in my
[27:34] personal opinion is still better.
[27:36] Personally, if I had to choose one tomorrow if I have a game
[27:39] tomorrow, I think I'd rather Declan Rice still.
[27:41] But, but I mean, you're talking about.
[27:43] Criminal. They're working bad for Ben.
[27:44] Right now, yeah, yeah, yeah, even with goals.
[27:46] One it's it's 1A1B, right? Now, yeah, and it's unexpected
[27:48] because you're seeing all these CDM scoring goals.
[27:51] Like I say, it'll Gravanberg. Rodgery walked so they can run.
[27:53] Yeah, legit, they're all having their type of Rodgery Balandor
[27:56] season where you can get the offensive.
[27:58] But they're also like defensively.
[28:00] I mean, you're getting def cons, but yeah, we we talk about def
[28:02] cons like it's just an FBL. Yeah, but in real life, that
[28:04] means you're you're definitely doing something on the pitch.
[28:06] But you put up 15 def cons every game.
[28:08] What you're fucking you influence Boston in the
[28:10] midfield? Yeah, those are clearances.
[28:11] Those are blocks. And what's weird about this
[28:13] Chelsea team that we we keep hearing it even from like our
[28:16] our Chelsea friends, is that they they keep seeing this line
[28:19] up and they keep saying it's not that good garbage.
[28:22] And before the yes, I took this from Twitter, bro that's a team
[28:25] full of non rares on FIFA bro it.
[28:27] Kind of is like there's, there's a lot of gaps, but they end up
[28:31] doing good performances. So I think this is again Maresca
[28:33] master class. What's the bar though?
[28:35] Like they'd spent two once again, they spent 2 billion,
[28:38] bro. Like this should this shouldn't
[28:41] be like they should be competing for titles.
[28:44] I'm sorry, like right now, if I had to tell you our our Chelsea
[28:48] title contenders, you're not, you're not saying yes, you're
[28:50] saying. Looking at their form, they
[28:52] they've actually been very good. You're not.
[28:54] You would not. If I had to put a percentage
[28:56] right now to Chelsea winning title, I'd put like 5% or 10.
[28:59] Maybe that's because Arsenal's been very dominant.
[29:02] But but that's a man. City in the mix?
[29:04] That's the bar. Arsenal, Arsenal and Man City.
[29:06] It didn't cost 2 billion fucking pounds to make those teams.
[29:09] So that's the bar. Over time, they've spent it,
[29:11] yeah. No.
[29:12] Saliba Gabrielle both costed what, 30?
[29:14] 1,000,030 mil. Yeah, but we I'm talking about
[29:16] Man City, but yeah. We've talked about this so many
[29:17] times, like expenditure, like they, they've obviously set
[29:20] well, they're not total. Players forget what that what
[29:22] money they're making, what money they spend on the team.
[29:23] They're they're not, they're not in the title.
[29:25] Title. Title Favourites.
[29:27] It's their lineups has too many, too many holes in it.
[29:28] They're still looking at a dogfight for CL this season in
[29:31] my personal opinion. Like chances are they're
[29:33] probably one of the favorites for those spots, but that's
[29:35] still they're they're still looking at third best case
[29:38] scenario in my personal opinion. Who are the title favorites
[29:40] then? Arsenal.
[29:41] Arsenal we can maybe say City after this weekend.
[29:43] World City. I've picked up four most me
[29:45] about them later in the podcast. But but Chelsea look, a
[29:48] performance like this definitely helps their stock because we
[29:51] were lucky going into this game saying, OK, who who's going to
[29:54] who's going to come out here with the three points?
[29:55] And I mean, Chelsea just dominate.
[29:57] Away from home as well. I think Chelsea are just very
[29:59] susceptible to just lapses in their game and then they end up
[30:02] getting poor results. I mean, look at the Sunderland
[30:04] result. Exactly like they they just
[30:06] don't have sometimes they just have those, those those
[30:09] mistakes, those gaps because again, they don't have that
[30:11] experience as as a full team. So I don't know.
[30:15] Liking leaders? It's yeah, I agree, it is.
[30:17] You have. No singular leader on the team.
[30:19] It's like a Jacqueline Hyde situation sometimes.
[30:21] It's like very, very good performances, looks very
[30:23] cohesive. I.
[30:24] I remember we had him joke once that we were all laughing our
[30:27] ass off at Jekyll and Hyde. Do you guys remember that?
[30:29] No. One time at a recording Millie
[30:31] said Jekyll and Hyde and we were all pissing our pants.
[30:34] Remember, I don't remember. This I can't.
[30:36] I'm surprised you guys don't remember it.
[30:37] I don't remember. This might have to it might have
[30:39] to. Maybe someone in the comments
[30:40] knows. But but yeah, I don't know you.
[30:43] Also, I don't know if you guys saw this clip where Thomas Frank
[30:46] went up to Jed Spence and Van der Ven after the game.
[30:48] They completely iced him, did not give him a single word and
[30:51] walked straight to the dressing room.
[30:52] Has Thomas Frank officially lost the dressing room at Spurs?
[30:56] Well, I think there's a way to solve that is both those guys
[30:59] drop next week. I agree.
[31:01] That could either make the situation worse or it can make
[31:04] it better. But the way that they aired him
[31:07] walking off, yeah, I know. An apology.
[31:09] An apology to me doesn't do it because you just got aired in
[31:11] front of the whole world. Yeah, like because then because
[31:15] then the players, they slowly started having a small
[31:17] revolution bit by bit. The fact that it was made so
[31:20] public, like you did that publicly on the pitch, Well,
[31:23] Thomas Frank is walking towards you and it's just you.
[31:25] You just wave him off and he's looking back.
[31:28] He's like, well, you can tell he's pissed.
[31:30] And they booed you off. The Spurs crowd booed you off
[31:32] too. Yeah.
[31:33] It's not, it's not like, OK, everyone's happy.
[31:35] It's just Jed Spence and Van de Ven.
[31:37] Like right now it seems like the atmosphere at the club's very
[31:40] negative. Like they went, like I said,
[31:42] they won one home game so far this season.
[31:44] The home crowd thought they were getting this progressive front
[31:47] footed manager under Thomas Frank.
[31:49] And it's been the complete opposite.
[31:50] They've been one of the most pragmatic teams in the entire
[31:52] league. Again, things take time.
[31:53] I think Thomas Frank has has earned himself the benefit of
[31:57] the doubt and that he could turn things around.
[31:59] But if the player. Where has he earned himself this
[32:01] credit? I think he has.
[32:02] I think that. I I think.
[32:04] Look, I don't think he would make that appointment in
[32:05] sacrament 2 months. Yes, but again, I don't think he
[32:08] deserves to be booed like this. It's not like they're on like A5
[32:11] game losing sheet but. He's never managed A-Team like
[32:13] this. He's never managed a team with
[32:14] expectations. I mean, I have expectations.
[32:17] Yeah, that's for the question. Well, expectations is to be
[32:19] competitive after spending a shit ton of money in the summer.
[32:21] Like you have expectations at Brentford.
[32:23] If you did well, it's the positive.
[32:25] So when you lose, it's not a negative.
[32:27] And Brentford did have an insane didn't have an insane away
[32:29] record last season. Last year they were one of the
[32:31] highest scoring teams in the league and I don't remember if
[32:35] they were. They were either insane at home
[32:37] or insane away. I.
[32:37] Don't remember which one it was I.
[32:39] Think they were at the way. Yeah, I think it was Brentford
[32:41] away. Yeah.
[32:41] And at home they were absolutely comparable.
[32:43] Yeah, low key the same so but. I'm saying this is a different
[32:46] managerial job. It's one with expectations and
[32:49] when, like some managers, I'm not being a doomsday type of guy
[32:53] right now, but some managers under the pressure of a big team
[32:57] just can't do it. I just, I don't know what's
[33:00] happening behind the scenes. Then if, if there's such a rift
[33:03] between him and the players, like I, I don't think we know
[33:05] the whole story, but I mean like at the end of the day, if the
[33:08] players are dissatisfied, then it's going to show on the pitch.
[33:11] He he's one of the good guy managers.
[33:13] He's supposed to be like one of the nice ones.
[33:14] So like, I don't understand what Jed Spence and Van de Ven are
[33:17] getting so mad about. Like you used to have Mourinho
[33:20] as manager. I mean, Ang Ang seemed like
[33:22] another good guy manager. But like what's going to happen
[33:26] here? You're not going to get a nicer
[33:28] manager if, let's say, Thomas Frank gets sacked.
[33:29] You're going to get a disciplinarian probably who
[33:31] comes. In Yeah, let's see if you get
[33:33] upset. My guess is that they were
[33:34] probably talking about like some some tactics that they didn't
[33:37] agree on. Well, Jed Spence called.
[33:38] Rinse the entire game. Yeah, exactly like the entire
[33:41] game. He's like the last person who
[33:42] could have talked. Yeah, but maybe Jed Spence, in
[33:44] his mind, he's like, bro, this guy set me up for failure
[33:46] tactically, like. That's what I'm thinking.
[33:48] Maybe he's like 90 minutes of getting like rinse rinse bro.
[33:52] Bro made Pedro Netto look like a serious football and that's
[33:55] difficult to do. FPL pic.
[33:59] You'll drop FPL. Awesome.
[34:02] By the way, guys, there was a trade that went down between
[34:04] Bomba. Well, actually me and firms made
[34:06] a trade also. So let it please let us know in
[34:08] the in the comments section. So firms traded you traded Pedro
[34:13] Neto 2 milli for Jacques Yeah. So I don't know if you guys play
[34:17] FPL. If you play FPL let us know what
[34:19] you think in the trade in the comments section.
[34:21] And also I traded with firms I traded in Malik TI got AI, had
[34:25] to abuse a bit of that Milan nostalgia.
[34:26] It's not Milan nostalgia. I still believe Tao has been.
[34:30] We don't have Newcastle here today, but Tao has been very
[34:32] good according to Andal. Fans, I got Anderson clean sheet
[34:37] first week into the trees. No def cons really.
[34:40] I mean six points we take that no.
[34:42] Yeah, so you think she. No, because you don't believe in
[34:44] Fulham, you believe in the Defcon.
[34:46] No, I do believe that Fulham defense is better than
[34:49] advertised. Better than Newcastle, they've.
[34:51] They've had one of the hardest fixture lists in the league.
[34:53] They're not better than Newcastle.
[34:54] They're not better newcastles, but I mean, Anderson is going to
[34:56] get def cons at a way higher clip.
[34:58] He just didn't happen. He played Wolves with the man
[35:00] down. You're not going to get many def
[35:01] cons, you know so but always we'll sack their manager too
[35:06] crazy. But we'll see if that Shrine
[35:07] Larson Ramontada happens. Anyways, as it stands FPL living
[35:11] so we Aloka beating. Oh yeah, beating bro talk your
[35:14] shit he. Always.
[35:15] Talks to shit when he always talks.
[35:17] Good. Like I said when I entered, if I
[35:18] had to lose to someone, Millie, I'd I'd lose.
[35:20] That's actually cock. Cock and I'm not.
[35:22] This is clipped. And it was crazy, you guys.
[35:24] It took 10 weeks to beat me, guys.
[35:26] It took 10 weeks. You guys don't know the whole
[35:28] story. This guy all week yapping
[35:30] Millie. We'll do a side back well, they
[35:33] said. Try to get a bit off the top.
[35:34] He could have rinsed me money cause 'cause like, he's not a
[35:36] betting man. Like he said, I'm not a betting
[35:38] man. I'm.
[35:38] Not a betting man. He dropped a 60.
[35:40] Bomba in you. Yeah, he he might drop a 70
[35:42] bomba, depending on what Pickford yeah, Pickford does
[35:45] tomorrow. But but then he ripped me about
[35:47] a million. You didn't do any waiver
[35:48] pickups. Yeah, alright.
[35:49] If you don't wanna play, then just.
[35:50] Low key, if I didn't mention that, you wouldn't have gone and
[35:53] picked up Tyler Adam. Yeah.
[35:55] But you were yapping y'all. You're rapping the whole time.
[35:57] Brother, we told you about Tyler Adams.
[35:58] No, I did the no. Research you're right in front
[36:01] of. This guy who was on his phone
[36:02] for 20. What do you think about Tyler?
[36:04] Waivers. He missed waivers.
[36:05] I said what do? You think about Tyler Adams.
[36:06] Yeah, he's gonna pick him up. He's alright.
[36:07] It's OK, OK, no problem. Six point bomba Crazy work.
[36:12] We take that all the way to the bank.
[36:14] But listen, we live to see another day living to leave
[36:16] alone. So basically before the week I
[36:17] went from a nine point lead at the top of the table to after
[36:19] this week I lost and I'm still have a nine point lead at the
[36:21] top of the table. So, yeah, yeah.
[36:23] 'Cause I lost to a guy never dropped 60 points in his life
[36:26] and this week decided to drop 6. I mean, they might, they might
[36:30] say this is a step back, but for me it's just a step sideways,
[36:32] you know? I did.
[36:33] I did a league only. The only two teams that mattered
[36:36] stayed the same on a point different, so nothing really
[36:38] changed in the league. Honestly, Paula, I'm looking
[36:40] more at this brother squad than yours, to be honest, in my
[36:43] rearview mirror. Really.
[36:44] Glaze off What do you? Want 61?
[36:47] Yeah, you would have beat me this.
[36:48] In my rearview mirror, I'm more looking at there's two cars in
[36:50] my rearview mirror, one's one's picking up more speed and that's
[36:54] a Slim and Saliba Loca train. Really, we shall see, but we
[36:57] can't get too ahead of ourselves, can't get too ahead
[36:59] of ourselves here. But no, I mean, I respect
[37:03] Millie's team. Imagine.
[37:05] What's scary, though, is that Millie's team could actually be
[37:07] even better. Yeah, because he dropped
[37:08] Cherokee. Who else did you drop?
[37:10] Cherokee. Well, Bruno G.
[37:11] Well, back mush. Bruno GI still have mad.
[37:13] Mush no, but if you weren't shit at the beginning then you
[37:15] wouldn't have gotten Voltamati. So it's a whole dominant, I
[37:17] dropped. Well, back for Voltamat.
[37:18] Yeah, he did good. So like I had to do it.
[37:21] But you can't full cook though. Wait, no, you had Mateta.
[37:24] No, that was after the fact that was.
[37:26] After no full cooks, no wait. Could it be that?
[37:28] Who'd you trade? No.
[37:29] Yeah. Nicholas Jackson.
[37:30] Nico Jackson. Nico Jackson, I did that.
[37:33] You you drop Welbeck instead of let him cook.
[37:36] Anyway, should have got Welbeck, but yeah, so you need.
[37:38] To stop helping Millie. Yeah, now, honestly, now there's
[37:40] no more. Help.
[37:40] Now there's doing no more help. Before they were trying to help
[37:42] a poor boy. They were saying like, oh
[37:44] Millie, here you go, you don't know much about PL.
[37:46] This week, there you go, Varvar's first team is in first
[37:49] place and my Academy is in second place.
[37:51] So like low key? Bows Chelsea and Strasbourg.
[37:54] Exactly like my B team is in. This is like Girona when Girona
[37:58] made. In my original team bro.
[37:59] You're still third. Though holy glaze off.
[38:00] Am I still third? You're 4 four point, I'm pretty
[38:02] sure. I think I was three points.
[38:04] You had 16, I was at 13. Yeah, yes, yes, Millie's gonna
[38:09] be in second after. This so my 4 points in front of
[38:11] firms. Yeah, it's possible, yeah.
[38:13] Millie's at 13 points, I know that for sure, OK.
[38:15] So then, yeah, we'll be tight. Well.
[38:17] Millie's gonna be ahead of you. He I think he has more points.
[38:19] I. Don't know.
[38:20] I don't know why it depends. The difference is.
[38:21] There a 61 bombo, potentially 70.
[38:23] Ball, I dropped the 51 Bombo. OK, we'll see.
[38:27] But yeah, now moving on to the title leaders right now, Arsenal
[38:30] versus Burnley, low key. I, I, I look this was at the
[38:34] same time as Man United Nottingham, so I didn't catch
[38:36] the full game, but I, I have that goal rush.
[38:38] I I watched goal rush. So you know, Man United
[38:41] Nottingham was the main game and then they show you like
[38:43] highlights in other games. Looked like Yokoresh Loki
[38:45] dropped his best performance potentially.
[38:48] I was watching, I was watching Arsenal, Burnley over the United
[38:50] game unfortunately. But no I mean Yokoresh, I've I
[38:56] said it like 2 weeks ago on the podcast.
[38:57] I still think he should. This is the same thing as the
[38:59] Harvard situation. One good performance against
[39:01] Burnley doesn't change my opinion on him.
[39:03] We looked at his goals are against Leeds, Burnley and not
[39:06] even Forest and not even. Forest four goals.
[39:08] So I mean like if you have if you have Jakadesh against like a
[39:12] Bournemouth, like it's not looking like a return in FPL
[39:15] vote. Yeah, he looked good.
[39:19] He looked very, very good. He found space.
[39:21] He was good at link up. But then you put that versus
[39:23] Konate when Konate's on your ass and not Estev and pause and then
[39:29] it won't look so good so I won't even talk.
[39:31] There's no point of talking about it cuz you just know it's
[39:33] versus the shitty teams and midweek.
[39:34] I don't know who Arsenal's playing in CL.
[39:36] They're playing on the Wednesday.
[39:37] Probably a dog shit team. Yeah, then maybe he'll get a
[39:39] return there too, when people are gonna think he's in great
[39:40] form. But come next weekend, I, I, I
[39:43] expect the Yokatesh to return to a return to the mean.
[39:46] But aside from that, the. Arsenal, Slavia, Prague.
[39:48] That's that's. A yeah, that's a right there.
[39:52] But aside from that in the Arsenal Burnley game, I mean,
[39:53] there's not much to say. Burnley.
[39:55] Burnley isn't great and. They're horrible, Arsenal.
[39:57] We're just good. I mean solid at the back.
[39:59] I think we can pencil in Burnley for 20th place in the Prem.
[40:02] I can't cap. We hit on that one, at least.
[40:04] Yeah, maybe either them or we'll see Wolves after the managerial
[40:07] change, but I I think I'm pretty confident putting Burnley 20th.
[40:10] I don't think you get worse for wolves.
[40:13] I agree and then this is like the.
[40:15] Bottom on a rebound, I think, I guess like.
[40:17] You know what? Their team is pretty pretty bad
[40:19] on paper. That's the problem.
[40:21] Like there's been no upgrades really in any in any position.
[40:24] Me like Tran Larson is probably who they could sell for the most
[40:27] and he's not that great so. You still get you still get
[40:31] relegated even with Tran Larson. Who else would you guys say are?
[40:33] They're good players. It's, it's literally just Tran
[40:36] Larson that that's really just. Midfielder they buy.
[40:38] This price, she's not bad, Arias.
[40:40] Arias hasn't even been playing well.
[40:41] Yeah, I know. It's it's just Strand Larson.
[40:45] It's literally just Strand Larson and Andre.
[40:48] The center midfield are listening good.
[40:49] They they sold Cunya and Dainuri in the same summer, yeah.
[40:52] So it was expected for them to drop at Bradford squad level.
[40:56] Bradford sold players. Too.
[40:57] Yeah, but Bradford is good at replacing.
[40:59] Bournemouth sold the whole back line.
[41:00] Who? Yeah.
[41:01] Bournemouth. Yeah, yeah.
[41:02] But again, these are two clubs that replace them pretty well.
[41:04] And Wolves in multiple seasons has not gotten major investment.
[41:08] I remember in the past they got major investment, used Jorge
[41:13] Mendez to get all the the Portuguese.
[41:14] Players, they should have the last.
[41:15] Couple years they have not spent money at all.
[41:17] If you guys have been peeping, like they really have not spent
[41:19] any money. So I don't know.
[41:21] It's kind of not looking good for Wolves.
[41:23] Linked to a couple managers, the Middlesborough manager, so we'll
[41:25] see how that turns out. I'm not confident, but we'll
[41:28] see. Gabrielle, another massive week.
[41:31] Bro, another clean sheet. Bro Gabrielle and FPL, that's my
[41:34] best asset right there. Gabrielle though it might be the
[41:36] most satanic individual in the sports.
[41:38] It's just it's, I mean, why we're not gonna talk about
[41:40] Manchester United scoring on 2 set pieces?
[41:42] OK but whatever bro, like so when we do it this is literally
[41:46] a risk. No, no, because I don't.
[41:48] I don't complain because I'm I'm the IT.
[41:51] Doesn't matter how it goes in. I'm the I'm the genesis of my
[41:54] my, my Arteta is the genesis of this.
[41:57] You're no stop lying Brentford. I've been doing this set piece
[41:59] bullshit for years. You're just catching on now
[42:01] because you think it's a Arteta set.
[42:03] The wave. Who's our set piece, coach?
[42:05] Jover, but honestly Jover actually no replace.
[42:08] The Jover needs to be sent to El Salvador.
[42:11] Set pieces are ruining the sport.
[42:14] It's official like the the I can't watch through a game right
[42:18] now without stressing for corners and throw insurance.
[42:22] I think it's a fad. I think it's a fad and it will
[42:25] go away once teams start doing more defensive set piece
[42:28] practice. But it it's always been there,
[42:31] set pieces have always been there.
[42:32] It's just the fact that people are taking advantage of it.
[42:34] Like that's not anything wrong. That's just getting better at
[42:37] the sport. I have a solution.
[42:39] Make it 6 seconds. You have 6 seconds to throw the
[42:43] ball in or like 10 seconds to take a corner.
[42:45] I don't. You should not.
[42:47] The game is so boring now because of these set pieces.
[42:50] We should not be. Arsenal should not be on a title
[42:52] charge with 70% of their goals coming from set pieces.
[42:55] That's just not how it should be.
[42:56] Well. 70% but they scored what, the second most goals in the
[42:59] Prem so. Even worse.
[43:01] No, I mean they have 17 XG, they have 17 goals like it's it's
[43:05] fair. Same like United you guys have
[43:06] 17.8 we have. 70. Percent of the goals are set
[43:09] pieces. Do you do you understand what
[43:11] I'm saying? You.
[43:11] Want me to check Manchester United set people?
[43:13] Gabrielle's on pace for 12 goals and assists in the Prem.
[43:16] I understand, I understand. It's like obviously like not
[43:19] nice to watch that most of their goals are set pieces, but their
[43:22] goals like there's no if anything, I agree you should add
[43:25] some time limit, maybe 8 seconds so that they speed up.
[43:28] Because at the end of the day, all we're watching and this is
[43:31] not Arsenal, but we've seen it at the World Cup.
[43:33] Like I remember Argentina was wasting so much time on set
[43:35] pieces and that just the game just should should be.
[43:39] Fast, but look at look at what they did with goal kicks.
[43:41] I feel like goal kicks now are severely speed up and it's good.
[43:44] I don't wanna. At the end of the day, this is
[43:47] an entertainment sport. We all watch the game for
[43:49] entertainment. I understand there's, there's
[43:51] like integrity to the game and I think that should be taken into
[43:54] account. I I don't think though that 50
[43:57] seconds on average per throw in is is good for the sport.
[43:59] Definitely. Yeah, that's, I think it's more
[44:01] of a throw in issue that I have. Like for me free cakes and
[44:04] corners like that's that's always been normal to me.
[44:08] But because the the player has to go to the corner, set up
[44:12] there and then make sure everyone's.
[44:14] Ready. Next thing you know, there's
[44:15] seven corners, we wasted 7 minutes and then there's one
[44:17] extra minute I have to at the. End of the day, if you're
[44:19] getting seven corners like you're, you're getting good
[44:22] chances, but like for a throw in that could go 5050 either way.
[44:25] Like yeah, I see that as time wasting.
[44:27] Like brother, you, you have the ball in your hand already.
[44:29] You know what I mean? So it's like I would I would be
[44:32] more in favor of implementing something to stop long throw in
[44:35] times rather than corners and free kicks.
[44:38] It's hard because what's the distinction between?
[44:39] Like, why do I give more time for a corner than the throne I'm
[44:42] getting? I have to get my men in the box
[44:44] for a long throw if a long throw versus a corner if they're next
[44:47] to each other, to me, if Coyote is throwing the ball, he's
[44:50] getting it as far as the coroner's going anyways.
[44:52] So if I want to call my men into the box, I mean if whether it's
[44:55] a corner or a throw in, I should be able to.
[44:56] Sprint motherfucker, if you really want that.
[44:58] Long. Throw so bad.
[44:59] Get there before the 10 seconds. Like for me, for me, like a
[45:02] throw in is not not like a direct offensive action, like
[45:06] like a corner is an offensive action, like clear offensive
[45:08] action, but like a a long throw in or a throw in in general like
[45:11] it could go. Now it has become an offensive
[45:13] action, like now you have people like Coyote who could throw the
[45:15] ball like in the box and somebody could head that so.
[45:18] But I think there should be no discrimination between a long
[45:22] throw and a regular throw, and like a throw is a throw.
[45:25] I agree. So it's just that time limit
[45:26] would be good. But it's just people.
[45:28] I think it's just people right now trying to find a tangible
[45:33] way of countering the set piece gold count.
[45:36] That's the only thing it is because if no one was scoring
[45:39] from throwings for free kicks, then no one would give a shit
[45:42] about the time it's taking. People are just trying to find a
[45:45] a because you can't say you can't just say a cop out or just
[45:48] stop conceding set piece goals. Yeah, so you say oh, make the
[45:50] Thrones in the the corners take less time so that they can set
[45:54] up for. But like bro, it's like football
[45:56] like you want to fucking catch the ball, get a good one.
[45:57] They're. Literally just launching that
[45:59] bitch into the fucking box. Like Brentford allowed a goal
[46:02] this week. They just launched that bitch
[46:04] into the box and Collins headed it directly into his own net.
[46:07] But I don't think that's negative.
[46:09] It's more what's negative about it is the time that it takes
[46:12] because that takes away from actually playing with the ball.
[46:14] I don't even find it's that bad. I feel like the timing.
[46:18] No it's bad. It was only bad in the Brentford
[46:19] game. That's the only game this season
[46:20] I watched that was like holy shit bro this is actually bad
[46:23] like. I could care less if you score
[46:25] with a throw in or not or just a nice shot, but just.
[46:28] The times for me. Some flopping bro like not
[46:31] Premier League like it said yeah like the last to invent this
[46:34] game bro like fucking 20 minutes was wasted just on the floor
[46:36] with. Yeah, that also doesn't help.
[46:37] Today, Milan, bro, every time something happens, somebody's on
[46:39] the floor, touching their nose, their balls, I don't know, like
[46:41] every every 5 seconds there was something happening.
[46:43] Italian football. It, it's, it's that's
[46:45] frustrating to watch because it's like, it's like you,
[46:48] you're, you. We all know, like we're watching
[46:50] it like, like Pablovich ran into the back of another player and
[46:52] then falls on the floor. But then they're always going to
[46:54] find like these rats, like Diego Simone, they're just going to
[46:56] find ways to wait time waste. Yeah, they're going to do some.
[46:59] Cause a scene, cause a commotion, get a red card, has
[47:03] to go on the field, come back like they're.
[47:05] Going to start tactically taking yellows.
[47:07] Guys on the bench that are not playing are going to tactically
[47:09] take yellows to waste 20 seconds people. 2 minutes.
[47:12] Hasn't used that one yet. People abuse it, I find it's
[47:14] just very abused. It's you have to curb the abuse
[47:17] of it, but. So they need to find a way of
[47:19] limiting time waste. Like, I don't know how stop,
[47:23] stop time. What do you call that stop
[47:25] clock? Stopwatch.
[47:26] Yeah. Like basketball games or hockey
[47:28] games have? Yeah, without work in football.
[47:30] I agree. Like you just fucking pop pop up
[47:33] like in NBA there's like a shot clock.
[47:34] Yeah, how difficult? Yeah.
[47:36] Behind the back you. See how much time you have for
[47:38] per possession you know. No, no, not like that.
[47:40] I would never do that. I'm just saying like you stop
[47:42] the clock when the ball goes out, like I, I don't know, you
[47:45] have a. 4545 minute running clock, Yeah, but then when the
[47:50] ball goes out it stops and then when it balls.
[47:52] Back you're trying to do that, but just add time at the.
[47:54] End. I was saying something else.
[47:55] I was just saying, yeah, you could do that because that's
[47:57] what they're. Supposed to do technically.
[47:59] That's what they should do, but I was just saying like as soon
[48:01] as the ball goes off for a throw in, there's a 15 second timer or
[48:04] something. Yeah, something like that too
[48:05] would. Could work, but like a pitching
[48:07] clock in MLB, yeah. I agree.
[48:08] I think something like that would be.
[48:10] And you can do whatever you want in that time period, but as soon
[48:12] as that 15 second hits, you better be throwing the ball.
[48:14] Yeah. And then if you don't do it to
[48:17] switch it to possession like if it's if it's a throw in, it goes
[48:20] the throw in the other way. So I think that's a little bit
[48:22] too revolutionary now. But all all this work basically
[48:24] just to curb Gabrielle's scoring every.
[48:27] Week Gabrielle the Gabrielle epidemic, we are here the
[48:30] Gabrielle here, we are here honestly plus or honestly it
[48:35] moves them up the all time rankings.
[48:36] I think he's dominant in the air.
[48:38] Honestly one of I think is he might be the most dominant set
[48:42] piece defender we've ever seen in the sport.
[48:45] Very. In my in my lifetime.
[48:47] I think like like receiving from the, yeah.
[48:49] Bro like. Every every time the ball seems
[48:52] to get to him and it always goes in the back of the.
[48:54] Trying to think of a couple, I mean, Sergio Ramos popped up in
[48:57] my head. Bro, every corner, every corner,
[48:59] Arsenal gets they, they, they, they, panted Gabrielle walking
[49:03] into the ball. Ridiculous.
[49:04] It's like, it's like Hollywood cinematics.
[49:07] It's like. But it's it's just a magnet.
[49:09] Like, it doesn't make sense every.
[49:10] Like even if he doesn't hit the net, he's still hitting the
[49:12] ball. And he's always his head is
[49:13] always a tough. Bunch it.
[49:14] It could fucking bounce around 12 times.
[49:16] It ends up on his foot somehow. It makes his foot his head.
[49:19] He's getting a cyst. He's he's, he's already evolved
[49:23] to a new level. He started fucking headering the
[49:25] ball to his teammates so they could score.
[49:27] Yeah I I I've always wondered why they never really like took
[49:31] advantage of corners. Like get someone near the near
[49:34] near post kinda like just flick it back even.
[49:37] Cuccurella has done it a couple of times for Chelsea, which is
[49:40] like the flick it back, yeah, yeah, he's always the first one
[49:42] to head it, yeah, which is crazy to see, but.
[49:44] But I mean an NFL, like an NFL, if you have the guy that jumps
[49:48] the highest, you have the guy that can keep.
[49:49] Calvin Johnson. It makes sense to me.
[49:52] He's Calvin Johnson just launched that bitch up to him.
[49:54] You don't find the way to come down.
[49:55] Here, as long as you put in the air, it's there.
[49:57] Yes, bro. Calvin Johnson.
[49:59] I don't know if you guys know who's Calvin Johnson is, OK,
[50:02] This guy was on the worst team you would ever watch in your
[50:06] life in the NFL. This guy was on O and 17 O and
[50:09] 16 teams for the Detroit Lions. But this was the best wide
[50:13] receiver you've ever watched in your life.
[50:15] He would. All the quarterback had to do
[50:18] was just as well, as far as you can and as high as possible.
[50:22] And he would. They they tried, they triple
[50:24] teamed him every play. There would be 3 defenders on
[50:26] him every play and he would still catch that still.
[50:28] Went 16 though. They called him Megatron.
[50:30] Yeah, he would. He.
[50:32] I don't even know if he ever played a playoff game.
[50:34] I don't. I don't think so, but it's very
[50:36] possible. His team was his team was well.
[50:39] It was an elite QB and he was the elite wide receiver and that
[50:42] was about. It if you put CR7 prime on this
[50:44] Burnley team, that's what you have.
[50:47] So you're never playing CL, but you know CR7 is, you know,
[50:50] you're watching Zane. And then he retired super early
[50:53] because like you had so many injuries and stuff.
[50:55] But he was a first ballot Hall of Famer and he retired before
[50:57] 30. I think he retired at 28.
[50:59] Wow, he was. He was like like a Van Basten
[51:03] but without the ballad doors. Same vibe.
[51:05] Basically. Same vibe, but yeah.
[51:07] But basically, all this to say, Arsenal, Premier League
[51:11] favorites, Could we, could we solidify that now?
[51:13] Yeah, Yeah, yeah. I mean, if I, if they don't win
[51:15] this this season, I'm saying this is a failure job, failure
[51:18] of a season. Yeah, like there's there's dumb,
[51:21] there's Arsenal choke job, Blue Jays Inter 5 nothing.
[51:25] Putting inter 5 nothing. Inter 5 Nothing.
[51:28] Arsenal, Blue Jays. Agreed.
[51:31] Agree to disagree then. You broke the scale.
[51:33] You really broke the scale. Anyway, the next game was
[51:39] Liverpool, Aston Villa and low key Oracle and policies part.
[51:44] I kept them in the power rankings.
[51:45] I said don't let the dip perform.
[51:47] Come on, make you think that this team is that shit.
[51:51] They are not as shit as you guys were saying they were.
[51:54] Liverpool are finished. They're this is a this is a one
[51:57] time. Trust me brother, I had Tenaga's
[51:59] manager. There's these results that come
[52:01] back that make you think that you're back brother.
[52:03] These bald Dutch managers need to be banned.
[52:05] It's Aston Villa, it's not like it's OK.
[52:08] So Liverpool, the last five games, the last five games in
[52:10] the Prem, they lost all 5. How did the teams play against
[52:13] them? Just launched that bitch up to
[52:14] the your tallest striker. They lost the last five Prem
[52:17] games. We're not lying by the way.
[52:19] And I've never lost the last five Prem games.
[52:21] Never lost. A tweet regard your theory.
[52:23] So the five, I don't know if NI Emery just didn't scout
[52:26] Liverpool for some reason, but the game plan against Liverpool
[52:30] is very simple. Just launched that bitch up to
[52:32] the striker somehow. Get the second ball and score
[52:37] and it's very easy. They allow a shit ton of goals.
[52:40] Awesome. Villa tried playing ticky taka
[52:43] around Liverpool. Never going to work.
[52:45] Liverpool dominated. This is a fluke because they're
[52:49] going to end up dropping points again.
[52:50] Get dominated by these teams that play long Haram ball and
[52:54] yeah, Liverpool, you're not making sale this year.
[52:56] Actually, so I've been over for Oh no, Man City, Liverpool,
[52:58] never. Mind.
[52:59] Well, not. Man City, they might actually do
[53:01] well again because Pep is never going to play Haram ball.
[53:03] Just launch up the Hollands. Maybe he'll try.
[53:05] These so these tactics are going to get them wins, but they're
[53:08] he's. Playing against teams that that
[53:10] Liverpool fit against 70% of the league now like Arsenal would
[53:14] completely dominate Liverpool for minute one to minute 90 with
[53:17] Yolkadesh up top or Marino even 2 to be honest.
[53:20] Like there, they play, they lost.
[53:21] The Liverpool One. Yeah, and Liverpool scored.
[53:24] It was a Dominic Sobel's live free kick.
[53:25] That game was not whatever. I'm I'm, I'm of the idea
[53:31] Liverpool are still frauds. Personally, that's my opinion.
[53:35] I mean, what's the time will tell.
[53:37] It's gonna take some time to click with all these players,
[53:39] but there was a couple of changes I saw like.
[53:41] Verts got megged on the edge of the box.
[53:43] I saw that too. But yeah, I saw live.
[53:44] I saw Robertson started, which was, I mean, good to see because
[53:48] Caracas has been absolutely awful and.
[53:50] Last game though but. Caracas, Yeah, a little rinky
[53:53] dingo crazy versus yeah versus bench thing.
[53:57] Actually, yes, yeah, yeah, no, like like.
[53:59] It's not improved. Like I I watch, I I turn I was
[54:03] going on and off the game because it was happening at the
[54:05] same time and and then he he kicked the ball at one point.
[54:09] I like I TuneIn Oh this. Was yeah, he passed the ball
[54:11] directly. And he just like kicks the ball,
[54:13] long ball and I'm like holy shit bro, what did he see?
[54:17] And I have gag 1 FBL. I'm like holy fuck, gag for
[54:19] breakaway. They pan no one there.
[54:22] And then you see it pans back the verse and she goes, yeah, he
[54:25] throws his hand up. It must have been like a pattern
[54:27] or play or something that like he just maybe.
[54:30] Pattern of again. Pattern of God, you know.
[54:32] Pattern of nothing you. Can recognize.
[54:34] More yeah, but again, I think Varva was saying this.
[54:37] He's missing like these are just misplaced pass like this is not
[54:40] this is confidence because a guy, a guy just doesn't shoot
[54:44] the ball outside of the the field.
[54:45] A ship player does. Like when is the?
[54:47] President a ship player when it's.
[54:49] The Prem and everything's a lot quicker, bro.
[54:50] The Bundesliga. We need to discuss the
[54:53] Bundesliga and why you do not like players from that league in
[54:56] the Premier League. He's.
[54:57] Missing like 2 foot passes. Bavarian.
[54:59] Verts Haverts Sancho fucking Holland's the only hit in the
[55:03] last. Decade the Bavarians.
[55:05] I know I know I said the train has left the station and it it's
[55:07] definitely we're fucking already a couple.
[55:10] We're a couple gates down. You know it was already done
[55:12] yeah. So so basically why the fuck are
[55:17] we starting our backup team and destroying Bayern Leverkusen who
[55:19] are going to make CL or in this league at 3 Nothing like how
[55:22] shit is this league? I'm sorry this this league is a
[55:25] joke bro. I think Byron is just
[55:27] exceptional. Yes, they see a company, but.
[55:29] Man, like, OK, I just. Spawned Carl like.
[55:33] Yeah, but ours if OK. 4th Leverkusen right now are fifth
[55:36] in the league. Who's the guy that started?
[55:38] I don't. Know Bischoff?
[55:40] He's actually. I call him Bischoff.
[55:41] Yeah, like the cookies. But Bischoff is actually very
[55:44] good. He was a Hoffenheim one their
[55:45] kid like. See, you're talking about yes
[55:46] players. OK but I'm I'm just saying if
[55:50] Arsenal or let's say Arsenal are the PL. equivalent of Bayern,
[55:54] Arsenal are not pulling up with their fucking B team and youth
[55:56] Academy. But to to play 5th place team?
[55:58] Yeah, I know you're not. I mean, Leverkusen, we still
[56:00] don't know what they are. Well, under the new manager,
[56:02] they've been very good in the Bundesliga.
[56:04] In the Bundesliga they've been very good.
[56:07] They're in their place right now.
[56:08] They won, they won. They won their last five
[56:10] Bundesliga games, I think. They were losing the CL like 7
[56:12] two or something. Missing.
[56:14] Yeah, I'm saying in Bundesliga they've been scoring like four
[56:17] goals in protection cover. Yeah.
[56:19] I mean, this is what we're talking about, the Bundesliga.
[56:21] No, Yeah. So that makes it even worse if
[56:23] they're losing in CL but winning every week in the Bundesliga.
[56:27] I. Agree bro.
[56:28] This year specifically though, because last, I feel like a lot
[56:32] of talent left the Bundesiga this summer.
[56:34] Like a lot and. It's they got raided the yeah,
[56:37] even someone like Shaka like that, that was a crucial piece
[56:40] for every. Chatty Simmons went.
[56:42] To Sunderland, yeah. Like like there's a bunch of
[56:44] players that that left the Bundesiga in recent years it.
[56:47] Feels like Oh my God. They haven't replaced them.
[56:49] They haven't replaced them properly.
[56:51] So we'll see, but. Again, these these all these
[56:53] players developed in the Bundesiga.
[56:55] So like even if there's a a gap year where it's like you're kind
[56:59] of singing up and coming players, but like they're not
[57:01] just fully there yet, like it'll take time like.
[57:03] They'll refresh. They'll refresh next year.
[57:05] You'll see the the another crop channel Zuna will then get sold
[57:08] next year for like 60 million Burkhart.
[57:10] It's gonna. Continue.
[57:11] Where's Burkhart? He's well.
[57:12] He was at he he Well, I don't know, Like he was at mines.
[57:16] I don't know where he is now. He's at Frankfurt.
[57:18] Yeah. Yeah.
[57:19] I like referring. Link to Milan.
[57:21] Lift it. Santiago Jimenez sold?
[57:23] Are we officially saying that Santiago Jimenez is dog shit?
[57:25] He. Didn't play today.
[57:26] Because he's why? Because he's us.
[57:27] Got benched Frank Cuckoo. And cuckoo was.
[57:31] Better and Cuckoo was alright. He looks out of shape.
[57:35] Our Chelsea friend said that and cuckoo looks like a fat ass.
[57:37] That's what I got told. I kind of agree with that, but
[57:39] that's that's. Hairline.
[57:40] Also, I don't know if you've seen that hairline.
[57:42] Like this here his new hairstyle.
[57:44] Yeah, but did, I don't know, for some reason, like the front was
[57:47] kind of down and then it went up.
[57:49] Yeah, I don't know what he was cooking there.
[57:50] Yeah, he was. We'll talk about being cuckoo A
[57:52] hairline later. It was definitely.
[57:54] Possible on the extended pod, we'll talk about that.
[57:56] On the next game, I don't know if you guys would say this is a
[57:59] surprise, but Bournemouth haven't been that good as a as a
[58:03] very late. Going into the game they were
[58:05] second place, though going against Man City, they were
[58:07] there but. Like last week, they lost the.
[58:10] No, they lost the palace. Wasn't it crystal?
[58:13] Palace. No, that wasn't last. 3 was two
[58:14] games ago and I'm pretty sure Bournemouth lost last week but
[58:18] check that Man City wins three one versus Bournemouth and I
[58:23] mean this is the early Holland show about it, no?
[58:25] Croupy scored two goals against Nottingham Forest.
[58:27] Arnold Croupy scored a goal and I got think on an assist if I'm
[58:29] the last. But no, honestly, honestly this
[58:32] game, watching this game, it was, it was very, very risky
[58:35] with how Bournemouth we're playing.
[58:36] I don't like extremely highline and especially on that first
[58:40] Holland goal, like what, 11-12 minutes in it was like boom,
[58:43] boom, boom. It was like I think Foden
[58:45] assisted. Could it be if I'm well?
[58:46] Scherke had. Cherokee Cherokee assisted, but
[58:48] Foden assisted The goal, No the O'Reilly goal.
[58:51] The O'Reilly goal, but again, it was just extremely quick plays.
[58:55] Then Holland, just he, he destroyed that.
[58:57] The Highland? Yeah, destroyed it.
[58:59] He could have a first half hat trick.
[59:00] Yeah, it's funny. I was down to Millie.
[59:01] I'm like Millie, you know, the only chance I have is if Holland
[59:04] scores four or five goals. At one point I actually believed
[59:07] it was good. It was like 20 minutes.
[59:09] It was like 2 and I was like the.
[59:10] Belief and then Holland got a like Holland got a breakaway,
[59:13] but he missed It was like fuck, you almost had a hat trick.
[59:16] But yeah, Man City, Man City look absolutely dominant.
[59:19] And I think low key our, if our Arsenal can't drop points
[59:24] because I, I low key have this feeling about Man City again
[59:27] that they're kind of inevitable. They're they're, they're oiling
[59:31] up. They're a well oiled machine.
[59:33] I I think like just watching them.
[59:35] I give one for you, yeah. Yeah, 100%.
[59:37] But once again. You seeing it during the Club
[59:38] World Cup that. Don't switch up.
[59:40] It take during the Club World Cup once.
[59:41] Again, not fucking switch up bro.
[59:43] I was the only one that was still on man.
[59:45] You do not do not switch up you. Do not define a man by his
[59:48] mistakes, but by you by, but by his most.
[59:51] Camera. About you.
[59:54] Shut the fuck up. I think what we saw in the Club
[59:56] World Cup was that they were they, they had the the pieces
[59:59] like a Sherkey, amazing player. But then when the season started
[1:00:03] we didn't know how they would fit with each other.
[1:00:05] Right now it's fitting, it's working and I I think we're
[1:00:07] seeing every player at their potential.
[1:00:10] I, I think there's a, this might be just my feeling about Man
[1:00:13] City, but there's a lot less pressure on them.
[1:00:16] I find in the sense of like they're not title holders.
[1:00:20] They're like, I don't think people really came in with
[1:00:22] massive, massive expectations like they got to win the Prem or
[1:00:26] this is trouble, trouble winning side.
[1:00:27] Like I think they're just playing their game.
[1:00:29] They're they feel much more comfortable and they're getting
[1:00:32] the results. At the end of the day.
[1:00:33] Right now, the pressure's on Arsenal.
[1:00:35] Yeah, because now it's, well, the only guy.
[1:00:38] Narrative has been set for the. Season narrative been set like
[1:00:41] Liverpool are kind of out of it now, like this is yours to lose
[1:00:44] for Arsenal. I think that's what the
[1:00:45] narrative is. And Man City are like, let's try
[1:00:47] to, let's try to ruin that. And you see City, our managers
[1:00:50] kind of trying to pull the same gimmick as Pep is pulling right
[1:00:53] now. We can look like it's every
[1:00:54] single top club manager is saying, no, we aren't the
[1:00:57] favorites for the title. It's them that's the favorite
[1:00:59] for the title and they're all trying to distribute like like
[1:01:03] like Gaspedini before this week he was like, so are you Do you
[1:01:07] consider yourself like in the title race?
[1:01:08] He's like, no, Inter are just so much better than everyone.
[1:01:11] Inter monopoly are so far ahead of everyone.
[1:01:14] That's. Yeah, but no.
[1:01:15] But that everyone stays consistent on inter monopoly.
[1:01:17] No, everyone tries distributing not enter as inter with.
[1:01:21] Napoli. Napoli would say it's Inter, you
[1:01:22] know, like. Everyone.
[1:01:24] No one wants to have the label of title favorites.
[1:01:27] I feel like it's one that comes with a lot of pressure.
[1:01:30] It adds unnecessary pressure. Yeah, even Chelsea last season,
[1:01:33] remember Maresco saying, oh, we can't.
[1:01:34] But in the end, like, he's right.
[1:01:36] They they were top four side, but they weren't competing for
[1:01:39] the title, you know. Words are just words though.
[1:01:41] Yeah, but they end up being like a stamp on your team.
[1:01:43] Look at Real Madrid, they were the CL favourites every time
[1:01:46] they won and they won that fucking.
[1:01:47] Shoot, yeah. But I think that that for them,
[1:01:49] it's like they almost believed, like they believed every time
[1:01:51] that they would win. I think a lot of these teams,
[1:01:53] like, I'm sure Arsenal believe that they could win, but there's
[1:01:56] always like. Arteta should not be good with
[1:01:57] this men saying guys no pressure.
[1:02:00] We aren't. We're in favorites.
[1:02:01] Not only I think she could apply.
[1:02:02] Both was men and no and say like guys this is our.
[1:02:05] Yeah, but Arsenal have been through that.
[1:02:07] Don't know what it takes to win but Arsenal have been through
[1:02:10] the the basically as much as you can do without winning.
[1:02:14] Yes, yes. But look, listen, if if Saka or
[1:02:18] Gabrielle and Saliba don't get injured, they win.
[1:02:20] They win this title. Then my counterpoint is that if
[1:02:24] Man City, if early Highland, gets injured, I think their
[1:02:26] season's done. Man City, Yeah.
[1:02:27] He's. Like going all the I don't.
[1:02:29] We don't know the full extent of on what amount mush of how good
[1:02:31] he may be. Yes, but he's not a solo
[1:02:33] striker. He's not a solo.
[1:02:35] Striker, he's not like scores like.
[1:02:36] You you cannot just take what? He was a solo striker.
[1:02:39] Yeah, but last season that's why Man City was so dog shit.
[1:02:42] You cannot take this Man City team and just replace Holland
[1:02:45] with Matamosh and expect the same level of of I know play.
[1:02:48] He's like, he's like the Joao Pedro.
[1:02:50] He's like the Joao Pedro 9.5 Matamosh.
[1:02:53] Like he's not a nine, he's not a 10.
[1:02:55] I say he plays in between. If Holland gets injured for
[1:02:57] like, let's say a month or whatever, Man City are not
[1:03:00] winning the title. Yeah, because in my personal
[1:03:02] opinion, like Marmosh only had a couple minutes this game.
[1:03:04] So like obviously you don't get a massive sample size, but you
[1:03:07] could just tell the presence of Holland even as a solo striker,
[1:03:10] it's like the focal points on him, not much as a solo striker,
[1:03:14] it's kind of like you get lost like with and not sure if that's
[1:03:17] him or it's. A quality, though, not really
[1:03:18] him. And it's Pep Guardiola, so I
[1:03:20] wouldn't be like, I feel like if anyone can make a guy like that
[1:03:22] work, it's Pep. I hope you make some work.
[1:03:25] FPL ASSA right? They've been holding.
[1:03:26] Him. You should have dropped him as
[1:03:27] soon as you. Got I think he's a that's a
[1:03:29] player that's holding my my bench bench four 4th.
[1:03:32] Bench probably re picked him up. You could have re picked him up
[1:03:34] like 3. Bro I cannot believe I lost
[1:03:36] someone that thought there was 4 bench.
[1:03:37] Although I I count goalie, I counted goalies by bench 3.
[1:03:41] Just sub in the goalie. So did.
[1:03:44] You guys see the video I sent you about Holland gonna shop at
[1:03:47] the farmers market? Yeah.
[1:03:48] With the milk. But yeah, he.
[1:03:50] He started a YouTube channel and he's actually releasing cool
[1:03:53] vlogs like he I didn't see that he he.
[1:03:56] So I think it's actually a genius idea from him to be
[1:03:59] honest, cuz it makes in my personal opinion, it makes you
[1:04:03] like the athletes so much more because you get to see behind
[1:04:06] the athletes. Like athletes are so closed off
[1:04:09] and like so protective of their lives.
[1:04:12] But him, he opens up like he tells you, oh, this is my day of
[1:04:14] my life. I go to this exact place.
[1:04:16] I go get milk here. Like I go work out.
[1:04:18] This is my physio like, and then he's like playing around with
[1:04:21] his physio. Exactly.
[1:04:22] And stuff like that. Must like he's not even doing
[1:04:26] it. It's kind of like, I don't know
[1:04:27] if anybody follows golf, but Bryson Dechambeau has his
[1:04:29] YouTube channel. It increases fans of Earling
[1:04:33] Highland, his audience so much. Yeah.
[1:04:36] Like, I, I for me, like I was never a big Highland guy, but
[1:04:40] now because of these YouTube videos, like, you get to see my.
[1:04:42] And I'm actually a genuine fan of him now.
[1:04:44] Like it's like. It becomes.
[1:04:46] Likeable. I really like a video of him
[1:04:47] going to get milk and and meat. Like I'm like, I'm like, go this
[1:04:50] guy is just a normal fucking guy, bro, Yeah.
[1:04:52] It depends. Like I think I think from like
[1:04:55] a, from like, let's say like a neutral fan perspective.
[1:04:57] Like I could see what you're saying, but like there's
[1:04:59] something about players like like almost like a like AI.
[1:05:03] Think of Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard is like you, you
[1:05:06] think of this guy as just like a Terminator machine.
[1:05:08] You don't know what happens behind Batman scenes.
[1:05:10] He's fucking bow. He's like, he's like mythical.
[1:05:12] Like, I feel like, like these players have this like mythical
[1:05:15] or you know. I like the mystique of players
[1:05:17] like like that. You're like, bro, these guys
[1:05:19] just pull up fucking destroy. And then you never you don't
[1:05:21] hear him again until next. To the coin and it's just which
[1:05:24] player do you want? To be like, I feel like Holland
[1:05:25] would have been an insane player.
[1:05:27] Like if you didn't know anything about it, he.
[1:05:28] Pulls up, pull up and score. Hat trick.
[1:05:30] Hat trick and then you don't hear about him until like the
[1:05:32] next match day and you're like, what the fuck is he going to do
[1:05:34] in the next game? You know what I mean?
[1:05:35] But like, I mean, it's it's nice that people get to know the like
[1:05:38] that. At the end of the day, they're
[1:05:39] young men. Like bro, he's he's 2425.
[1:05:42] Sorry. He's 25.
[1:05:44] He's 25, like we think of him as just like monster in the game,
[1:05:47] but like that day, he's he's our age.
[1:05:50] Yeah, and you see how much work goes into it on a day-to-day
[1:05:53] basis to be an athlete like early Highland, Like he, he goes
[1:05:56] into training when like there's optional training, he goes into
[1:05:58] optional training. Like he, he sets also the
[1:06:02] narrative. Like for his career, he sets the
[1:06:04] narrative. Honestly, I have another.
[1:06:07] I have a hot take. I'm not impressed by that shit.
[1:06:10] I like the life of a football player.
[1:06:13] The only thing I actually feel bad for genuinely is the
[1:06:16] pressure they get in the shit they get from fans.
[1:06:18] Cuz it is a sport at the end of the day and you should never be
[1:06:19] telling someone like bro like you're texting their family
[1:06:21] members like or you're texting them like kill yourself over
[1:06:24] over a football game. Yeah I agree.
[1:06:26] But workload and we've seen it with like cuz CF Montreal like
[1:06:29] we know their training patterns and stuff more.
[1:06:30] That's our local club. Like we see it, footballer
[1:06:34] doesn't have to work as much. As you should really as whatever
[1:06:37] you should really watch, I will I'm going to watch the vlog go
[1:06:40] to look how much recovery he does daily, the stretching he
[1:06:44] does daily, his workout routine every day like.
[1:06:46] Exactly, I think. You're proving no but but.
[1:06:49] Like bro, he has a fucking stretch and then he has not.
[1:06:51] He's not a hockey tub and a sauna.
[1:06:53] He has a team, he set up. He's like a company.
[1:06:56] Erling Holland is a company. He has his chef.
[1:06:58] Everything's down to a tee. It's he can tell you exactly why
[1:07:02] he has to bring this amount of milk every day.
[1:07:05] Like, like everything's down to AT for.
[1:07:07] The single mother of fucking three that needs to work three
[1:07:10] jobs and then she's working 10 times.
[1:07:11] I'm not saying Earl and Helen. I no.
[1:07:13] But I'm just saying that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not genuinely
[1:07:15] impressed, bro. I'm not, I'm not impressed by
[1:07:17] that. That's more he's.
[1:07:18] Doing his job and he's actually taking his fucking job
[1:07:20] seriously. Congratulations bro.
[1:07:22] Like Neymar didn't take his job seriously.
[1:07:24] But you're talking about like bars and health in the business
[1:07:26] of every single like category, like like, like.
[1:07:31] Wow, he's a mature 25 year old. He realizes that his body is his
[1:07:33] fucking is his body is asset that he's thinking.
[1:07:36] Obviously like like I personally agree like a doctor is is more
[1:07:40] worth it to society than a football.
[1:07:41] No, I'm not even saying the voice, I'm just saying the the
[1:07:43] workload. Yeah, but there's a.
[1:07:46] Like go chill at home at night. Like, you know, a guy that's in
[1:07:48] that's. I know, but but there's a reason
[1:07:50] why they're at a lower level and Holland is at the top level and
[1:07:53] he's already broken so many records.
[1:07:56] Like there's a reason why Holland is is one of the best.
[1:07:58] Exactly works harder, but the the bar I'm saying is low.
[1:08:02] For a football player, I mean like.
[1:08:03] They go to training in the morning, 9:00 AM or whatever.
[1:08:06] They they, they work and then they have maybe they have a meal
[1:08:08] after then they have off off field training in the afternoon.
[1:08:11] They're home by 3-4. They fucking calm.
[1:08:14] They can pick their kids up from.
[1:08:15] School and then they go back. And they would have been 9:00.
[1:08:17] Like the only thing is the physical aspect, like some games
[1:08:20] really beat them down. Whatever.
[1:08:21] But I mean, that's your job. Yeah, I agree.
[1:08:23] I I'm like, I'm more of that thinking as well, but like I
[1:08:26] also understand like lower level players.
[1:08:28] I think that's more towards like the top end of players, but like
[1:08:31] lower end of players are like like budding players that like
[1:08:34] could make the first team, let's say.
[1:08:35] But like they again, like they may not be able to afford that
[1:08:38] type of lifestyle. They have to work at the same
[1:08:40] time and then work like that. To me that that's a lot.
[1:08:43] That's a lot of character right there.
[1:08:44] You know what? I.
[1:08:44] Mean the want. What I'm saying is the bar is
[1:08:47] low so that if you really genuinely want it, like you're
[1:08:50] so motivated even in this, even in the summer, even the football
[1:08:53] summer, you're still training constantly.
[1:08:56] I think he can. Really.
[1:08:57] Yeah. But.
[1:08:57] You're, you're, you're looking at Erling Hallen now, where he's
[1:09:00] found his routine and everything like that.
[1:09:03] He goes into it in his vlog where at 16 or 15 he had to move
[1:09:06] away from home and live by himself.
[1:09:07] No, but I'm not talking about Hallen because he's also
[1:09:09] genuinely like one of the best talents in the world.
[1:09:12] I'm saying for that guy, that's difficult.
[1:09:14] He has difficulty breaking into his team.
[1:09:16] That he he just has to. If he just works hard enough,
[1:09:19] that might be enough to push him up to bridge the gap of talent.
[1:09:23] Yeah, like the hard work, yeah, for.
[1:09:24] Sure. Yeah.
[1:09:25] Like there's some player like Jaka.
[1:09:26] If Jaka didn't have like the the the grinding mentality of the
[1:09:29] player, he probably wouldn't have gotten a move back to the
[1:09:31] Premier League or he wouldn't have gotten a move to Leverkusen
[1:09:33] or Arsenal or whatever. Yeah, like your mentality can
[1:09:37] kind of get you further than your talent can in some
[1:09:39] situations and in others, like Neymar, the talent is the talent
[1:09:43] alone got him into those situations.
[1:09:44] Yeah, but I think there's things behind the scenes that we
[1:09:47] obviously don't see that make your mentality a certain way or
[1:09:50] like you work hard in a in a certain, I don't know, in
[1:09:54] trainings and I don't know exactly what they do, but
[1:09:57] there's steps to it that we're kind of like dumbing down to say
[1:10:01] like, oh, it's easy, you know what I mean?
[1:10:03] Like it's it's. I don't.
[1:10:04] See though? Exactly.
[1:10:05] So then why? Like, I don't know.
[1:10:06] I don't glorify it because nothing's easy.
[1:10:09] That's what you're. Saying, OK, I'm just a hitter,
[1:10:12] so that's straight hitter. That's straight hitter.
[1:10:14] I'm just, I'm just upset that I'm not a professional football
[1:10:15] player in doing that. I have an official announcement
[1:10:19] I would like to announce. Ryan.
[1:10:20] Cherokee is the best summer transfer for 36 million.
[1:10:23] I think that's one out of out of a doubt 30.
[1:10:25] I have €36 million here, so I'm gonna go through a couple other
[1:10:29] transfers. You tell me if you guys think it
[1:10:31] was better than Cherokee or worse than Cherokee.
[1:10:34] ECKA TK for €95 million. Better Scherke was better 25
[1:10:40] mil. It's hard to beat.
[1:10:41] Scherke had one game. I don't know why the whole world
[1:10:44] is going crazy over A1 game. 2 assists appearance or two goals
[1:10:47] appearance. I think a Katikke obviously is a
[1:10:50] good player, a good quality, is a good player to have in the
[1:10:52] Premier League. Like you could tell that he's
[1:10:55] going to start scoring more goals, but I feel like Scherke
[1:10:58] is just, it's the technical ability.
[1:11:00] I'm going to have to go for Chet key as well.
[1:11:02] I'm going to go at Kitika on this one.
[1:11:03] I think longevity wise he he has the better upside Chet key.
[1:11:06] I could see him like sputtering out later on.
[1:11:11] HP you're you're you're predicting the fall off of a 22
[1:11:16] year old. No, but I I could see him having
[1:11:18] not that long of a top like career, like an elite level
[1:11:21] career. But Ecka TK has proven like.
[1:11:24] I don't understand this logic. I'm trying to predict like 33
[1:11:27] year old seasons of 22 year olds.
[1:11:29] OK, well you can tell by Chedki's Physiology that I don't
[1:11:32] think the way he's built right now will be but LA.
[1:11:35] Taro's a tough clash striker. God, he's.
[1:11:36] Actually lost weight, but whatever.
[1:11:37] That has nothing to do with. Kuddle.
[1:11:40] Now that both are very good talents, it's just I don't know,
[1:11:42] the price tag is hard to beat. Luis Diaz for 70 million.
[1:11:46] Cherokee Luis Diaz. Bar none, No.
[1:11:48] Cherokee. Cherokee.
[1:11:49] None of us have watched Luis Diaz.
[1:11:51] We can we count, but this guy's been fucking inevitable for.
[1:11:53] We we just I think everyone on Baron's been inevitable.
[1:11:56] That's the problem. Like the bar is kind of very low
[1:11:59] the. Only argument for Diaz is
[1:12:00] because it was you're paying a lot for an older guy for a 28
[1:12:03] year old. Yeah, but I mean, the upside's
[1:12:05] working for them right now, so I'm sure Baron fans would say
[1:12:08] that that's a pretty good deal for them.
[1:12:10] Essay for 69 million. I don't know.
[1:12:14] I mean, it has to be. It was a great deal Cherokee.
[1:12:17] It has to be Cherokee. Still saying as.
[1:12:19] I think I'm going to go and sharky as well as is a great
[1:12:22] deal, but Sharky like just again, value for money.
[1:12:25] It's crazy that nobody went for that.
[1:12:28] You'd have to look for a for a transfer that really was like
[1:12:30] very undervalued because Chedeke at this time was what, 40 mil,
[1:12:35] 50 million play like he was out. Bro, but do you guys remember
[1:12:38] the And I remember obviously I was watching Chedeke's
[1:12:41] performance against Man United last year in Europa League.
[1:12:43] You're watching this guy's a fucking.
[1:12:45] Ball Chedeke has not even played two full 90s.
[1:12:48] I don't need I first of all Club World Cup, but second of all
[1:12:51] like. What about Club World Cup?
[1:12:53] He was very good at the Club World Cup.
[1:12:56] You can tell just by the way that Pep speaks about them that
[1:12:59] he's different. He said he's one of the best
[1:13:00] talents he's ever coached in his career.
[1:13:02] Like Pep doesn't throw around. He throws around praise to
[1:13:05] opposing managers, but not his players like that.
[1:13:07] So Carreras for 50 million. Again, good deal, did score a
[1:13:12] banger 2 on the weekend but. Madrid fans may come at you
[1:13:15] firms. I'm not gonna cap.
[1:13:16] Look, I've been saying. I'm gonna say Carreras only
[1:13:24] because like, that was a a necessity for Real Madrid in.
[1:13:28] My opinion I. Think it was not a necessity?
[1:13:31] Why you would like Martinelli left wing?
[1:13:33] They're doing just fine, like about Martinelli scores were
[1:13:36] doing. Just fine.
[1:13:37] I don't think as he's a like game like.
[1:13:39] World beater rating Martinelli now.
[1:13:40] No, not rating him, but it's like.
[1:13:42] Left winger you. Said I didn't say world class, I
[1:13:44] just said that as a the jump. He's insane.
[1:13:47] OK. Well, that's you.
[1:13:48] Guys think the dump is insane for Martin.
[1:13:50] Oh yeah, this is amazing. Like fucking night and day.
[1:13:52] Again, like if Real Madrid is presented, forget their
[1:13:54] situation in defense if they were presented Carreras for 50
[1:13:57] or Scherke for 30, whatever you said, Scherke is the pick.
[1:14:00] They could have been in the running 60.
[1:14:02] I don't understand COULD. Have been the running.
[1:14:04] I'm going to say Carreras specifically, just for the
[1:14:06] necessity why Real Madrid needed a player.
[1:14:09] In that, yeah, if that's the context.
[1:14:10] There's none really that jump out the page here to be honest,
[1:14:13] other than those ones I just named here.
[1:14:15] We can throw one in just for a bit of a little bit of rage bait
[1:14:18] and Joanne Bonnie for 23 mil. I'm still.
[1:14:21] Going to go chat account this but I think Bonnie.
[1:14:23] How could this He wouldn't. I'm going to chat on that one.
[1:14:26] I think, I think Bonnie, honestly, very good talents.
[1:14:29] Still a little raw, not not fully there yet, but.
[1:14:32] We forgot one baby core 12 for 21.
[1:14:35] Cherokee. Cherokee Baby.
[1:14:41] I I didn't, I wasn't able to fully watch the Manchester
[1:14:43] United game. But did he play well?
[1:14:45] Look, I'm not going to say like, OK, I'm not obviously the baby
[1:14:48] curely rage bait the baby Courtois shout Lyman's is good.
[1:14:52] I'm not going to sit here and say oh, oh bro, he's a Ryo.
[1:14:55] He's a Donald Ruma next week. No, no.
[1:14:57] Well, that's a cool. Wait till he keeps a clean
[1:14:59] cheat. Yeah, Loki, Loki.
[1:15:02] He's been good so far. I'm going to comment down there
[1:15:04] one more. Did I mention this Kudus for
[1:15:08] 64,000,000 Chet key? I don't know I'm.
[1:15:12] Saying cool, I got a second system.
[1:15:14] I'm I'm, I'm going to say. I'm going.
[1:15:16] Bro it's a I'm going to say Cheddke.
[1:15:18] For that value, you won't find a player like that.
[1:15:21] I don't know. You won't.
[1:15:24] Can we turn this? I'll say I'll see.
[1:15:26] I'll see Cheddke on this one. Final one and Bueno 75,000,000,
[1:15:30] This is M. Bueno check M Bueno.
[1:15:31] Check easily and bueno. Easily and bueno.
[1:15:35] Agenda switch. But the XG over performance
[1:15:38] guys? I just think that Cheddar key
[1:15:40] reading him without even having played 180 minutes is just
[1:15:43] stupid. We're gonna look we like we call
[1:15:45] it, we call it back at this and say that was a great shot.
[1:15:48] But we can. The odds will probably say you
[1:15:49] look back at this and we're like, bro, what the fuck are we
[1:15:51] talking? About shit, to be honest.
[1:15:52] Well, you already ripped over for the reactionism so.
[1:15:55] He's too good though. So that first is on the check
[1:15:57] I'm on. The train you guys know was
[1:15:59] Cheddar Key in our league, in our FPL league.
[1:16:00] Me. There's a reason why I like him
[1:16:02] too. The.
[1:16:03] Reason why I dropped it. I might have to send you a
[1:16:04] little trade this week. You have a bit too much Man City
[1:16:08] to get off my hands. I don't want phone.
[1:16:10] You can keep phone. So shaky.
[1:16:11] Bigger talent than phone and. If I speak so.
[1:16:14] Shaky, the next one in line for the Man City.
[1:16:16] If I speak I will be in big trouble.
[1:16:18] Oh my God I love. I love so much value on the
[1:16:20] table. Crazy.
[1:16:23] But yeah, now we can go and speaking about baby Cortois, we
[1:16:26] can go into a Man United Nottingham so.
[1:16:28] Is it time to stress again at Manchester United?
[1:16:31] No, no stress. No stress.
[1:16:33] I I low key Washington's game. The only thing I I actually
[1:16:36] stress for is that United Strand guy because he might never cut
[1:16:39] his hair again. Fuck.
[1:16:40] But uh, yeah, no, I, I. I was there.
[1:16:43] It was not a good performance. It was bound to come I think.
[1:16:46] I think A-Team, like Nottingham, tactically, like stylistically
[1:16:52] is not good for us because we're actually better when we give up
[1:16:54] possession. Clock what he just said instead
[1:16:56] of just clock what he just said. Stylistically, the way not even
[1:17:00] play is bad for you. Yes, because the team that's had
[1:17:03] they, is that their third manager?
[1:17:05] So not even force play. Back in manager but in two years
[1:17:08] 3 managers so they just switched.
[1:17:11] Manager UVA's in three years and two managers.
[1:17:13] So everyone should beat two years 3 managers?
[1:17:15] Three-game over. Everyone should beat UVA are
[1:17:18] fucking free. Everyone.
[1:17:20] They're getting passed around by the gang.
[1:17:23] But we're we're being. Around by the gang, bro.
[1:17:25] OK, so back to the gang. So basically Sean Daish had one
[1:17:30] week to prepare for this match and he's already tactically.
[1:17:34] And Amarim had how long to prepare for this match in.
[1:17:36] Fucking years. Yeah.
[1:17:37] Two years and years. Yeah, he wrote down on his
[1:17:40] calendar two years ago. Circle that one.
[1:17:42] Sean Dyche will be manager at Nottingham.
[1:17:44] Four he had. He had.
[1:17:46] Sean Dyche has had maybe two or three fucking training in the
[1:17:49] job for one season, one year today, one year last week, he
[1:17:53] was in the job. Good for him, but he was.
[1:17:55] Circling that counter at 20. Bro get to work you.
[1:17:58] Saying that stylistically this is a bad, you know, game for
[1:18:01] United because it's a bad. So you play like shit?
[1:18:04] Just we. Did I not say?
[1:18:06] That I don't know what Really. No.
[1:18:07] You didn't said we play, I rewind, you said rewind.
[1:18:11] I said we played like shit, but stylistically this is one of the
[1:18:15] teams that that what's this in the Prem?
[1:18:17] The. Explain the joke, motherfucker.
[1:18:19] We explain the joke. It was a battle of who can have
[1:18:22] less of the ball. We, we want to give it to you
[1:18:25] now, brother, you take it back and they out take it back to us.
[1:18:29] So, so I, I actually saw a stat that when we have more than 50%
[1:18:34] possession and this is actually a, a very bad stat when we have
[1:18:37] more than 50% possession. I don't want the ball.
[1:18:40] We average less than .9 points per game point.
[1:18:43] We average .9 points per game. If you have, what's that say
[1:18:46] that again? More complicated.
[1:18:48] Time possession bro, you this. Season you more than. 50% so you
[1:18:52] guys are so. With less than 50% possession,
[1:18:54] we actually have two points. Something points every 2.1
[1:18:57] points per game. Even at sport, OK, you looked at
[1:18:59] the Jokanish compilation, it's only counter.
[1:19:02] Attack. So now the the Amiram Amiram
[1:19:04] code is but. That's not a block.
[1:19:05] That's not a bad. That.
[1:19:07] I I agree. I think you focus on that's
[1:19:10] that. It's not a bad that it just
[1:19:11] means they're they play better counter attacking, they're
[1:19:13] counter attacking team. I'm but that's that's why
[1:19:15] basically a Nottingham. Forest is like the worst thing
[1:19:18] for us. You don't want a statistical
[1:19:21] significance like, like that's like significant.
[1:19:24] Like even in games where you have the ball, you still don't
[1:19:26] generate a lot. I'm saying it's that stat is
[1:19:28] insignificant because it just shows that you're it.
[1:19:30] Just shows your playstyle. Yeah, exactly.
[1:19:32] But us saying Nottingham, we have very similar place they.
[1:19:34] Probably have the same stats. Exactly.
[1:19:36] So yeah, that's playing against Nottingham.
[1:19:38] But you should have still beat Nottingham at that point.
[1:19:40] Once again, you have the same I'm saying it's an unacceptable
[1:19:43] result. Yeah, it's not a good result,
[1:19:45] but style holistically, like I said, stylistically this is one
[1:19:47] of the more difficult games. I'd rather play a team that's
[1:19:51] going to try and dominate the ball against us rather than the
[1:19:54] Narnian Forest who you're. Forced like breaking last the
[1:19:58] week before you're submissive. If that's what you get from that
[1:20:02] situation then sure, yeah. I mean Madrid win all their
[1:20:06] fucking champions leagues by playing counter attacking
[1:20:08] football but sure. Yeah, right.
[1:20:09] Major probably has. That seems not.
[1:20:10] Not this season, maybe. But I'm in middle school.
[1:20:12] Yeah, but Angelotti. Pitching on, but basically I do
[1:20:16] want to take a second though, to commend Chandaisch.
[1:20:19] He is AI feel like he's low key one of the more underrated
[1:20:22] managers in the sport right now, just because his football is so
[1:20:26] boring that it does kind of take away like he he kind of gets the
[1:20:32] short end of the stick a lot of the time because it's football
[1:20:34] so boring. But I mean, results speak for
[1:20:37] themselves. This, this was a lot of people
[1:20:40] you wouldn't take. No one would take Shondesh at
[1:20:43] their club willing. He has what's it called?
[1:20:45] He has a range, a certain job thing where it's like you're to
[1:20:49] save them from salvation. He's like relegation.
[1:20:51] He's like that lawyer from Breaking Bad.
[1:20:53] Better Call Saul. Saul Goodman.
[1:20:54] Yeah, you're fucked. Better Call Saul like you're
[1:20:56] you're Everton. But no one wants to appoint
[1:20:59] Shawn Daish. No one willingly says I want
[1:21:01] Shawn Daish as my manager. Not on the top of there.
[1:21:03] But I feel like when he's there, he actually gets you to buy in.
[1:21:06] Like he's a very good man manager.
[1:21:08] Like, he's very likable too. I feel like like he always has
[1:21:12] clips in press conferences that gives off like very good vibes,
[1:21:15] you know, and stuff like that. He's like a modern day like Neil
[1:21:17] Warnock. Sam Allardice.
[1:21:19] Sam Allardice. Yeah, exactly.
[1:21:21] Like, he's like one of the old, the last remnants of.
[1:21:23] Yeah, old, old classic. Yeah, Brexit footy.
[1:21:27] I'm happy he's back. Yeah, I agree.
[1:21:29] I I think, I think. He definitely deserves a a job
[1:21:31] in the Premier League I think. He's he's.
[1:21:33] But if no one's in, no one. 'S in dire, yeah.
[1:21:35] No, he's not. He doesn't have a job.
[1:21:36] It's crazy. Like he actually can't take a
[1:21:37] team to the title, but he can take any team out of.
[1:21:39] Really bro? This is a couple weeks ago we
[1:21:40] were speaking about this. Not even force team as being
[1:21:42] completely disjointed and one of the worst teams like like this
[1:21:45] was that's Ange yes, but it's. Like they're literally 2
[1:21:48] extremes of of steady ship and unsteady ship so I mean.
[1:21:53] I honestly, I think Nottingham are under Sean Daish.
[1:21:55] I think they're going to be clear relegation.
[1:21:57] I think so too. Latkes doesn't deserve it.
[1:22:00] I don't know, he might be, might deserve it, but Sean Daish might
[1:22:03] have been his. Get out of jail.
[1:22:04] Frequently, I don't like the way he he puts his hand in the in
[1:22:08] the team. Maybe it was all, but this is
[1:22:10] all by design, bro. Yeah, because Shawn Dye, if you,
[1:22:12] if you hired Shawn Dye straight out of the jump, it'd be like
[1:22:15] negative PR, like what are you doing?
[1:22:17] But then if you bring in edge, make sure that you're like.
[1:22:20] You make them a hate attacking football.
[1:22:22] Make the Made a fan base despise attacking football.
[1:22:25] And then when Shawn Dye comes in, like, thank God, we're so
[1:22:27] good. We're not continuing. 3 of you
[1:22:29] exactly might be a four. It's like, it's like, it's like
[1:22:32] Fonseca Neilan. Same thing.
[1:22:34] Exactly now, like Oh my God, brother, please.
[1:22:38] He's just. One, he's just 110 scoreboard.
[1:22:42] I like it, you hear me? I like it.
[1:22:44] That wears off from no one in that situation, but yeah.
[1:22:47] For Nottingham, though, Anders Anderson, not Anderson.
[1:22:50] I actually don't think he played that well tonight.
[1:22:52] I thought he was great. Like everyone says Oh my God he
[1:22:54] passed his audition. Like bro I don't walk out of
[1:22:57] that game saying splash 70 mil on that brother.
[1:23:00] Like for me, still only a 45 mil 50 mil midfielder.
[1:23:02] In my personal opinion, Bellini's Blues, yeah.
[1:23:06] It's a good good. He's a good player, he's a good,
[1:23:08] definitely a good player, but like this might come off as a as
[1:23:11] a bad take to some because the forms recently have been like
[1:23:16] Anderson's up and I I'd still rather buy Baleba than Anderson
[1:23:19] personally. I don't know.
[1:23:20] Baleba has been horrendous this season.
[1:23:21] Objectively he's been horrendous, but I still rather
[1:23:24] Baleba than and I'd rather work personally.
[1:23:26] Wharton's very good, but once again Wharton is a different
[1:23:29] type of player. Like Wharton would play with an
[1:23:31] Anderson or Baleba. That would actually be an
[1:23:33] amazing midfield. Yeah, I, I, I personally think
[1:23:35] that if this summer Bruno, Wharton and Bruno would be
[1:23:39] fucked. No, it's that's horrible.
[1:23:40] We would get overrun in midfield.
[1:23:42] I'd rather Baleba, Bruno, bro, Wharton holds his ground Crystal
[1:23:44] policy. If we if we have Europe next
[1:23:46] season and we need a bigger squad, I would buy Wharton and
[1:23:49] Baleba and keep Bruno. Good luck.
[1:23:52] Bro 200. Million no, that's that's like a
[1:23:54] I'll take I'll take bro I'll. Take the sweetie I got her, bro.
[1:23:57] I'll take realistically realistically after this season.
[1:24:00] How much is Baleva going for his price?
[1:24:02] Million, 65 million. Sure, 60 million.
[1:24:04] Wharton's gonna be around 60 million also.
[1:24:05] So that's 120 million. You sell fucking Ugarte for the
[1:24:08] highest bidder 20 million. Shit to the Cart 60.
[1:24:10] Million 100 mil bro Man United spending 100 mils not that
[1:24:13] fucking crazy. £120 million is a lot of money.
[1:24:15] We got 20 midfielders. Yeah that was the yeah 100%.
[1:24:19] You can buy another right where I wingbacks go for cheap bro.
[1:24:21] I'll get fucking Dumfries off him for 30.
[1:24:22] Dollars, I don't know what you're saying.
[1:24:24] Or at least clause 22 mil. Doesn't matter bro, he's
[1:24:27] probably, they're probably already putting him on the
[1:24:29] fucking market already. Parcel bro Cast Kim.
[1:24:33] Him, him. Mellie personally is doing that,
[1:24:35] yeah. Made the call.
[1:24:39] But yeah, that was that was the weekend in the Prem.
[1:24:41] We have a big week in Syria, to be honest.
[1:24:43] Yes, we did a lot of movement. I was actually dialed in this
[1:24:45] weekend to Syria more. So I wonder what happened.
[1:24:48] I wonder what happened? Well, I'll inform you then how.
[1:24:51] Would you let us know? The Igor Tudor project is
[1:24:54] officially gone. Gone.
[1:24:57] No, it's officially gone. I mean I actually want your guys
[1:25:02] opinions. Do you think we did it at the
[1:25:04] right time? We did the sacking at a good
[1:25:05] time. Late shouldn't have given him a
[1:25:08] contract to be honest. I mean.
[1:25:09] No, I it was you had to, we had to give something a fucking
[1:25:12] contract. But but but do you think we?
[1:25:15] I mean, yes, it's seven game. It was like A7 game span where
[1:25:18] we're just tying and losing. But it's not we, we're only -6
[1:25:22] from the. We got caught up in the moment
[1:25:24] because we all knew Igor Tudor did not deserve the UVA job
[1:25:28] permanently. Yes, so like you get caught up
[1:25:30] by oh, he made CL in an interim role.
[1:25:32] We should get him a permanent manager.
[1:25:33] But we all knew deep down Igor Tudor was never going to be the
[1:25:36] guy to bring UVA back to to the to the glory.
[1:25:38] You know I. Think you want like UVA fans
[1:25:40] probably wanted? Him.
[1:25:41] Yeah, it was the idea of Tudor. Yeah, but I, I think in reality,
[1:25:45] like he's just not that caliber. And I I think it is a little
[1:25:49] late, but the timing works out because like, again, you're
[1:25:53] still in the city out race for the most part.
[1:25:55] And for Champions League, like like you still have you, you
[1:26:00] could still make it like you'll get a playoff spot.
[1:26:02] You know what I mean? I don't give them enough time.
[1:26:04] Champions League if I'm. In your situation, I also don't
[1:26:08] care about. You bro, like I'll make the
[1:26:09] playoff and hopefully I play like a fucking.
[1:26:11] Massive Bro Cup competitions give you false ideas, bro.
[1:26:14] They, they, they, they make you think that your team is a lot
[1:26:18] better than they are. But bro, domestic competitions
[1:26:20] are the the ultimate. You're not winning.
[1:26:22] Champions League this season. No.
[1:26:24] And it doesn't. We all agree, doesn't matter,
[1:26:26] win. So there's zero point, I mean
[1:26:28] the financial gain there. Is a financial gain.
[1:26:31] It's not even it's but that team is still shit.
[1:26:33] If you have an extra 20 million in the bank or not, your team is
[1:26:35] still shit. Teams like Juventus, Manchester
[1:26:37] United, Milan, Inter should always be in champions.
[1:26:39] Juventus adding Juventus into ACL aura conversation here.
[1:26:43] I mean adding inter. Adding Man United.
[1:26:45] Man United have more Seattle aura than everyone except for.
[1:26:48] Me but but the standards are that all of her clubs are
[1:26:51] fucking big. That's what I said and.
[1:26:52] They should be playoff and then I want to play like PSG in the
[1:26:55] playoff. Do you hear yourself right now?
[1:26:57] That's crazy. You hear yourself.
[1:26:58] Right, I want to beat PSG in the playoffs so.
[1:27:00] Yeah, if you want to beat them, sure.
[1:27:01] But if you're, I mean, I guess you're self aware.
[1:27:03] I mean like to know you've a is like not that level yet but I
[1:27:07] mean it takes time. To be fucking delusional if you
[1:27:10] think that you base at a level where we no, I don't, I don't a
[1:27:12] big voice. I I just don't a situation where
[1:27:15] I I know where firm's coming from because the last season was
[1:27:17] embarrassing for Seria. Yeah, exactly.
[1:27:20] Like that's what I'm saying. If you had to go to a playoff
[1:27:22] game and lose to a fucking PSVI got a serious problem with that.
[1:27:25] But I know I'm not beating an even an athletic level team.
[1:27:29] I don't think that Juventus over 2 legs should be beating but.
[1:27:32] It's a fact that you're there. Like at the end of the day, like
[1:27:36] obviously, yeah, Juventus historically maybe should be
[1:27:38] beating Athletico, but you're there.
[1:27:40] But but the issue is, is that like for a team like UVA, like
[1:27:44] the the sacrifice of Champions League is definitely more
[1:27:48] exacerbated than like top clubs. Because if you end up going
[1:27:51] further, let's say than the round of 16, you will definitely
[1:27:54] feel that Inseria. That's like a guarantee.
[1:27:56] But why are you feeling it? Because the team on
[1:27:59] realistically isn't exactly it's.
[1:28:01] Competitive. It's been in a.
[1:28:02] Long time I think just the standard has dropped because our
[1:28:05] teams our teams don't compete on 2 fronts we just don't have good
[1:28:08] players at the end of the day yeah the.
[1:28:09] Teams aren't deep, you don't need a a fucking massive list of
[1:28:13] all great players. Like no, but you can make it by
[1:28:15] with with the decent level of I. Find our depth is probably the
[1:28:17] best inside, yeah. Juventus.
[1:28:19] The depth, that's why Napoli is the only one that comes close.
[1:28:22] Actually no intern now this season have have gotten good
[1:28:25] depth, but Inter, Juventus, Napoli and Inter we have enough
[1:28:28] depth to compete. You just have no star power.
[1:28:30] Yeah, that's the problem. Yeah, depth coming on is like
[1:28:32] your. Top end Your top end is.
[1:28:33] Similar, similar quality to our starters but said yeah so
[1:28:37] competitive this season. If you have Atlanta on the
[1:28:39] weekend, then you have a mid weekend Champions League, then
[1:28:42] you have Roma the following weekend.
[1:28:43] Like stints like that. You cannot get by those if you
[1:28:45] play 2 games a week. And I don't think Roma, is Roma
[1:28:47] doing any European competition conferencing Europa League.
[1:28:49] Yeah, Europe league, yeah, but they're already fucking throwing
[1:28:52] it. Yeah, so, but but again like.
[1:28:53] Why they lost? They lost like 2.
[1:28:54] Three games. Why are these teams not able to
[1:28:56] compete on 2 fronts? Clearly.
[1:28:58] Because either there's a managerial problem or a player
[1:29:00] problem, or a fucking institution.
[1:29:02] Because we're playing versus teams that Paffles probably
[1:29:06] hasn't had to worry about their fucking league in 25 years.
[1:29:08] You haven't. Even mentioned one word about
[1:29:10] Spiletti. Guys, can we speak about fucking
[1:29:11] Spiletti? I get to in a second.
[1:29:13] I get to in a second. You mentioned a word.
[1:29:15] Get to a second, but no. Your teams are okay, Do you want
[1:29:17] me to mention a word? Your teams are all fucking dog
[1:29:19] shit and just worry about your league.
[1:29:21] That's the only thing you guys have a chance of winning.
[1:29:22] Okay, that's the thing. I'll say what?
[1:29:24] Are you worry about nothing? You don't have to worry but my
[1:29:26] league is too good for me to worry about.
[1:29:28] But bro, you think that your league you agree?
[1:29:29] With a title charge I gotta speak differently bro.
[1:29:32] I'm two points off a second. Enjoy that?
[1:29:35] Actually, one point off a second.
[1:29:36] Anywhere crazy? Spaleti.
[1:29:39] Spaleti Spaleti is a manager that I was not even considering
[1:29:42] last summer because for the people that don't know, Luciano
[1:29:46] Spaleti won a Sudeto with Napoli in what, 2022?
[1:29:50] 2320, No 20. 21/21/21. 2122 No I.
[1:29:54] Don't remember, but basically anyway, the guy's such a big
[1:29:56] Napoli legend that he has a big tattoo of Napoli on his arm.
[1:29:59] And so I was never considering him for the UVA position.
[1:30:03] And even as recently when we were thinking about it, Vara was
[1:30:06] like, so Spalati and me and firms look at each other.
[1:30:08] No, but he's never gonna coach. Yeah, never gonna coach
[1:30:10] Juventus. And then it happened so fast.
[1:30:13] It happened in three interviews apparently it happened in one in
[1:30:15] one call. It happened in one Zoom meeting
[1:30:18] and then one in person. We need to sign the papers and
[1:30:20] Spaghetti basically said I don't need your stupid long contracts,
[1:30:23] I don't want to rinse you guys out for six years.
[1:30:25] Whatever. I want to get to work, give me
[1:30:27] an 8 year and then give me an 8 month contract and then I'm
[1:30:30] going to sign an. Extension.
[1:30:31] If I make CLI get an extension. Yeah, they can prove it, Yeah.
[1:30:34] Prove it, deal, prove it and do. It he put his legacy on the.
[1:30:36] And I think it's three mil, 3 mil a year.
[1:30:38] So it's not like he's getting paid bucket loads.
[1:30:41] But he basically, and I hope this is not the similar
[1:30:44] situation. You remember when Castamiro came
[1:30:45] into Manchester United and said, I'm gonna fix them, I'm gonna
[1:30:48] fix them. This is the same situation.
[1:30:50] But but spaghetti. Spaghetti.
[1:30:51] From the Loki did fix us though in the first season.
[1:30:53] The thing about Spaghetti, though, is that like he even if
[1:30:56] he gets you guys CL, I think he would want to see some level of
[1:31:00] improvement to the squad. Like that's that's my main
[1:31:03] concern. But like, I mean, if he's if
[1:31:06] he's signing a prove a deal, it seems that he's invested in the
[1:31:08] project. So I I'm shocked.
[1:31:10] That he he me too. I was shocked too.
[1:31:12] Because because for me, like never in a million years would I
[1:31:15] think that Spaghetti would coach UV like he coached Napoli,
[1:31:18] coached Inter, like Roma, like these are teams that.
[1:31:22] Yeah, but now his reputation's on the line because of that.
[1:31:24] Italian, but in the. First big sense, his first big
[1:31:26] club that he's managed. Napoli, at the time of managing
[1:31:29] Napoli was a big club. This is he made it into a big.
[1:31:32] Inter Inter like first of all I mean at the time Inter was stole
[1:31:35] this. Was the biggest job.
[1:31:36] The guy that replaced spaghetti. I mean, there was that one year
[1:31:39] of dog shit in between, but bro, Conte was the guy who came after
[1:31:42] Spiletti. Like that's, that's a big job.
[1:31:44] Well, no, there was a there. Was AI said there was that whole
[1:31:46] year of fucking? Bulls.
[1:31:47] Yeah, they finished like 10th. Yeah, but like the fact that
[1:31:50] even finishing tenth you got Antonio Conte, bro, that's a big
[1:31:52] job. Yeah, it's just.
[1:31:54] I think for a Spiletti, he saw an opportunity to and I think it
[1:31:57] is a good fit, but he saw an opportunity to fix and have the
[1:32:02] biggest, the best int of his career.
[1:32:05] If you if you can be the manager that brings Juventus back to
[1:32:08] winning a Sudeto, that is a massive.
[1:32:10] Sounds exactly like me when Man United.
[1:32:13] No, but you guys disagree. No, I agree.
[1:32:15] It's like it's a big. Feat if he brings us back to to
[1:32:17] winning a sudeto, that doesn't seem for his legacy.
[1:32:20] I'm pretty sure Napoli was his first Sudeto.
[1:32:22] Could it be? Yeah, it was.
[1:32:23] Yeah, he finished second row. Yeah, he's not.
[1:32:25] He's not like a like a. But he has, he has a very weird
[1:32:30] aura coming into the club. Like I've been listening to
[1:32:33] every press conference, every quotable, whatever I've read.
[1:32:36] It's like this weird. Like I don't know why he's
[1:32:39] angry. It's like he's, it's like, it's
[1:32:40] like he's been a Juventus fan for so long and he's tired of
[1:32:42] seeing it. Like he came in and it's like,
[1:32:45] if you're not, if you're, if you're not fucking with us,
[1:32:47] you're you're, you're against us and get out of here.
[1:32:49] Like it's, it's he. When he was saying hi to
[1:32:51] everyone, he did not crack a smile.
[1:32:53] Once he met all the players. It was like, let's get to work,
[1:32:55] let's get to work, let's get to. Work.
[1:32:57] He's a mentality guy, He's always.
[1:32:58] Super discipline disciplinarian like it seems from from the jump
[1:33:02] but. I think that's the reason why in
[1:33:03] Italy it didn't really work out because like, it was, it was
[1:33:06] that idea that like he was trying to treat it like club
[1:33:09] football. But yeah, but at the end of the
[1:33:10] day, like they don't respond well to that.
[1:33:12] Yeah. I think that's why the news was
[1:33:13] a better fit than him in Italy. But again, Spelletti is still a
[1:33:16] top tier Italian manager. I think for UVA, this is this is
[1:33:20] kind of like the the seriousness that they needed.
[1:33:22] I don't think Tudor was a like a serious manager in the sense of
[1:33:26] like the coach represents the project in my opinion.
[1:33:30] So like for two, for me, Tudor was always, I always saw him as
[1:33:32] an interim manager. So I didn't necessarily take
[1:33:35] that UVA project seriously. I think the players felt the
[1:33:38] same. They didn't.
[1:33:39] I think they didn't. They thought, oh, we got him as
[1:33:42] an interim. Yeah.
[1:33:43] And then they kept that in their mind, the first impression of
[1:33:45] him being yeah, well, now you. Think it's different with
[1:33:47] Spalletti on an 8 month contract.
[1:33:48] Yeah, but Spalletti still commands that respect.
[1:33:51] They just they a lot more. They lost these half of these
[1:33:53] players lost Spalletti a few things.
[1:33:55] Ago I read a like Man United. Well, the Athletic recently
[1:33:58] released a, a paper on like Man United and decision going with
[1:34:00] Amrim. Like what went into that
[1:34:02] decision? And they spoke about how 10 Hog
[1:34:06] when Inios came in and he won the FA Cup, they he basically
[1:34:10] had no time left on his contract.
[1:34:12] He had one year left on his contract.
[1:34:14] And 10 Hog knew that if he didn't get a contract extension,
[1:34:17] the players would not take what he says seriously because player
[1:34:21] managers on short term contracts are never taken seriously.
[1:34:23] Of course, like this is something that's known within
[1:34:26] the the like industry because they're so disposable.
[1:34:29] I'd agree with you, but I think with Spiletti, it's almost like
[1:34:33] like like he's telling the players, it's like I'm fighting
[1:34:36] with you guys like this is my jobs on the line kind of thing.
[1:34:39] And then it's kind of like he's buying into the project and
[1:34:41] everyone else will buy into the well.
[1:34:42] Half of fucking players have are need to sign contract renewal so
[1:34:46] they. They're all.
[1:34:47] They're all in the same boat. They're they're in the same.
[1:34:49] Boat. They're either going to be at
[1:34:50] the same training center altogether signing contracts, or
[1:34:52] they're in the same car driving. Yeah, but those, those players,
[1:34:55] like those players have values associated to them.
[1:34:58] Like like let's say a Vlowovich, like he's not worthless.
[1:35:03] Yeah, spaghetti you, no one's gonna pay you to take spaghetti.
[1:35:06] Yeah, so he's worthless. The different type of markets
[1:35:08] from. Like Juventus, who maybe
[1:35:11] everything comes the end of the season.
[1:35:12] You guys are in seven. Spaghetti didn't work out.
[1:35:14] They're not gonna say let me trust Spalletti and Lavich, he
[1:35:19] says. Lavich didn't work out.
[1:35:20] You guys might resign Lavich because he's worth still like
[1:35:23] 20-30 mil. Let's say, like, someone's
[1:35:24] willing to offer you that, Like from a financial position.
[1:35:28] It makes more sense to sack the coach and just keep the players.
[1:35:31] Always get the benefit of the doubt, yeah?
[1:35:33] I I like the Spalletti signing. I think he's a great coach and I
[1:35:36] think he's good because tactically we all know what you
[1:35:39] get and he plays very entertaining.
[1:35:42] He's he's known in Seria, which is always good.
[1:35:44] He's Italian so he knows how to deal with media as well.
[1:35:47] I'm telling you, that's a huge plus.
[1:35:49] What's the youth situation with Polity?
[1:35:51] Is that at, I mean Aussie men in Cavada?
[1:35:54] I wouldn't you. Have eight months left in the
[1:35:56] contract bro. There's no youth.
[1:35:57] I don't think he cares. No, but I'm saying like like
[1:35:59] yieldies, like what kind of, what kind of?
[1:36:01] Oh, he'll play him. He'll play him.
[1:36:03] I know he's. Gonna play him, but there's a
[1:36:05] difference between giving him the keys versus making him.
[1:36:08] I I looked a bit into his opening press conference, the
[1:36:10] Spiletti, like it was him and Komoli.
[1:36:13] Spiletti was really just worried about short term.
[1:36:16] He always mentioned short term, that's all he focused on.
[1:36:18] Komoli was speaking more long term, like what he envisions for
[1:36:21] the club and stuff like that. And he mentioned that attacking
[1:36:24] football is like a must basically for him, how he
[1:36:26] envisions the football the club is playing.
[1:36:30] But yeah, I mean, Spaletti my one of the issues is that we
[1:36:34] know the squad is not fit for Spaletti ball.
[1:36:37] Yeah, that's per SE like maybe more the centre back position.
[1:36:40] The the centre back position is so weak in my personal opinion
[1:36:44] at Juventus other than Bremer, but there's no players that are
[1:36:47] really good on the ball in that centre back position.
[1:36:50] And commonly basically confirmed that there's not really going to
[1:36:52] be any January signings. He said because of FFP, there's
[1:36:55] no signings. Well, we also we can.
[1:36:57] We already saw a couple of Spaletti.
[1:36:59] He vibes with the Koopa minor, whatever the fuck his name is.
[1:37:02] Koopenheimer playing like a centre.
[1:37:05] Well, a mezzala centre back position, like a makeshift.
[1:37:08] Midfield, right in the front, yeah, that's what.
[1:37:09] He played in the Dutch league, yeah.
[1:37:10] He used to play it that. ACL So those are the things that
[1:37:14] like a a smart coach who's had experience, knows how to
[1:37:16] manoeuvre. But I don't get why he loves
[1:37:18] school miners. But but that's I think because I
[1:37:21] I remember this specifically, I'd enter where Brozovich was,
[1:37:24] was played as almost like a Cam guy was absolutely terrible.
[1:37:28] Like there was a time where he was on the plane almost going to
[1:37:31] Sevilla for transfer, but then Spiletti said Spiletti came in
[1:37:34] and said, I'm going to make you into a matzala.
[1:37:37] So that he ended up or even a regista, even put him as a
[1:37:40] regista. And he's like, he completely
[1:37:42] transformed Brosovich's career. And that that was his position.
[1:37:45] I could see him, I could see him doing something similar where he
[1:37:48] sees coup miners maybe out of position and says, I'm going to
[1:37:51] put you in a spot where I think you're well, more well suited.
[1:37:54] And I think you'll see a better coup miners at that point.
[1:37:56] But it depends it really. Depends on locate Ali because
[1:37:59] then you have to move Lokatelli up the pitch and the last two
[1:38:01] managers have have kept Lokatelli between the center
[1:38:05] backs picking up the ball. The thing with Palette is that
[1:38:07] he'll play who he thinks is best, so if he doesn't think
[1:38:10] that Lokatelli fits that position, he doesn't care that
[1:38:12] he's a captain and he's gonna throw him out.
[1:38:14] But he did it. You gotta.
[1:38:14] Use. You gotta use what you have at
[1:38:16] your disposal like I would. I would keep Kefram, Lokatelli
[1:38:19] and cool miners always. There's not enough attacking in
[1:38:23] that Mitchell 3. There's not enough like.
[1:38:24] Depends what you play. If you play A3 four 1 -, 2 or
[1:38:26] 3421, yeah, it depends. Open the surprisingly looked
[1:38:32] good and open the has not looked good once this entire season.
[1:38:35] I was very, very, very surprised at that.
[1:38:37] So. Well he better bro.
[1:38:39] You guys have no choice. Obligation to buy.
[1:38:41] Zero choice, but he has to figure this guy out or just
[1:38:44] wasted 40 million. Yeah, that's crazy.
[1:38:45] And I I like up until this, but I, I I thought that open the was
[1:38:49] worth 0. Like I'm like, there's no saving
[1:38:50] this guy. We'll see.
[1:38:52] I mean, it's first game. He had one training session.
[1:38:54] So I think we have a midweek and we have an easy midweek fixture
[1:38:57] in Champions League actually on the easy sports parting and then
[1:39:00] on the weekend back to Seria. But the two, one win versus
[1:39:03] Criminese. Criminese is not a shit team.
[1:39:06] They're like our Sunderland. No, they're shit.
[1:39:08] But when garbage? Yeah, exactly garbage.
[1:39:11] Didn't Milan drop points in? Them.
[1:39:12] Yeah, we should have. Won first game of the first game
[1:39:14] Where's? Criminese in the standings
[1:39:15] probably last. Are you getting scored on by
[1:39:18] Jamie Vardy in 20? 5 they're probably mid table.
[1:39:20] It's calyary, Fierentino, Genoa. Yeah sorry Genoa was lost.
[1:39:24] The Calyer is in Serie B. Got scored on by Jamie Vardy.
[1:39:26] Clemones is 9th. They're 4.
[1:39:29] Points. They're 4.
[1:39:30] Points. Yeah, to me, To me, that team
[1:39:32] reeks, absolutely reeks. Well, on paper, I'm sure.
[1:39:37] Bondo, Milan legend. Yeah, they have a lot of Milan
[1:39:40] Lonis title channel. They beat the Milan.
[1:39:43] Wingback's looking quite promising.
[1:39:46] Take out my Milan. One of you one.
[1:39:50] No. Floriano Floriano, the other
[1:39:53] Romano. The right the the right winger.
[1:39:57] This is a pure. This is a pure Italian backline.
[1:40:01] It's horrible, The editor channel.
[1:40:03] As a league, we cannot allow that's put a team to be that
[1:40:07] like that. I like this team.
[1:40:08] I don't know why you hate them so much, because they fucking
[1:40:10] beat you. No, I just, I don't.
[1:40:12] There's no quality. What inspiration?
[1:40:14] There's no project going on. You're buying Vardy, You hate
[1:40:17] them so much, they just came up broke you.
[1:40:18] Up it brought them. They're doing better than 99% of
[1:40:22] guys that people that come up and say you're.
[1:40:23] Buying Monza vibe? No, it's Monday, and what
[1:40:26] happened to Monza? They're relegated or two.
[1:40:28] And that was it. These are.
[1:40:29] Teams that will not last If you want to actually be serious, be
[1:40:31] like como don't don't buy these fucking 30 year Italians.
[1:40:34] I've already from the Prem he was finished they.
[1:40:37] Did the same shit como. Como, Como did it well, Yeah,
[1:40:40] well, I didn't buy any shit in race versus.
[1:40:42] Race. Como, did he hate Como?
[1:40:43] Reza, what did they do? Well, they beat you.
[1:40:44] But Como I hate them. Como went out of their way and
[1:40:47] made deals with Real Madrid with fucking Nico Paz.
[1:40:49] Yeah, who now is an 80 million worth winner?
[1:40:51] They do that. They didn't.
[1:40:52] Know player bro Ramen just about to buy him back for fucking 15.
[1:40:54] Check. It doesn't matter, but they
[1:40:56] still have Nico Paz in their team.
[1:40:57] They spoke to the phone. Real Madrid, they called them.
[1:40:59] Yeah, but Como Cuomo's have extremely well run.
[1:41:02] Criminalize is 4 points off of you.
[1:41:04] If we would have lost that I'm today, there would be one point
[1:41:06] behind. What is it criminalize Good?
[1:41:07] I don't think you put them in the same breath as Cuomo in the
[1:41:10] sense of like what what the projects are.
[1:41:12] Turning meal on rejects into fucking serviceable set Yeah
[1:41:15] players. It's not a.
[1:41:16] Problem. Honestly, everyone does that in
[1:41:17] the world. You're fucking teams out there
[1:41:19] balling in the world. Saying that, when you guys have
[1:41:21] sold Soleil Hoisin, who else? Baton Nikkei.
[1:41:26] Nicole Savon. Oh yeah, Savon scored.
[1:41:28] On the weekend. Because my no, he scored, he
[1:41:31] scored, he scored. I don't know if you watched the
[1:41:32] game, but. Yeah, another, another city
[1:41:33] scored. By the way, we will we will be
[1:41:36] lifting that. All I'm saying though is that
[1:41:38] these teams look like a a teams made of of rejects, like a bunch
[1:41:41] of players that. Really want, huh?
[1:41:43] Well, they get really, really good and.
[1:41:44] Criminism. I don't know, there's so many
[1:41:46] bad teams right now. All the bottom hat bro.
[1:41:48] Look at Fiorentina's team. Absolutely atrocious.
[1:41:50] I think that's more of a purely situation because that team
[1:41:52] ended up. Purely's ass as well.
[1:41:54] You call the whole fucking league shit and league is shit,
[1:41:56] not the. League is fault the mid Yeah the
[1:41:58] league is have to fucking say this.
[1:42:01] The moment of realization, bro, I've.
[1:42:03] I've been the propagator of this.
[1:42:05] You look at that criminal as a team.
[1:42:06] There's no one who's fucking worth anything I don't want.
[1:42:08] There's no problem, we gave. Them fucking 25 shackles, we
[1:42:11] said here, stay up. But exactly that's a problem.
[1:42:14] There's a. So I'm not gonna, but I'm not
[1:42:15] gonna. But whatever.
[1:42:16] You analyze them and. What teams are you expecting
[1:42:18] like? Bologna very well run club.
[1:42:20] Cuomo very well run club. Lazio or fucking dog?
[1:42:23] Lazio are the worst team and ever.
[1:42:26] I agree. I agree.
[1:42:27] So what the fuck are we doing in the shitty?
[1:42:29] League, but that's not OK. Again, the the club, the club
[1:42:33] and the owners are are two separate things.
[1:42:34] Like how are we? Glorifying fucking Vardy being
[1:42:38] but you're just saying oh cram on his bro.
[1:42:40] Do you understand how finished Vardy looked last season and he
[1:42:43] pulled up the CDI and he size two goals?
[1:42:45] I'm not. Looking at Vardy to be fucking
[1:42:47] couple count on yet? Hey bro.
[1:42:48] We need a Jonathan David update, so I need you.
[1:42:52] I need to pull out the list of strikers that we said I I
[1:42:56] actually personally want to review.
[1:42:57] This list stupid at the beginning.
[1:42:59] Everyone's injured at the beginning of the season, Palace
[1:43:02] said. Varvar, give me a list of
[1:43:04] strikers that you think are better than Jonathan David, OK?
[1:43:07] And I listed off all these names and Palace said, Bro, you're
[1:43:10] crazy, bro, you're crazy. I'm going to write down all
[1:43:12] these names because this is fucking crazy.
[1:43:14] Go. I want to hear all these.
[1:43:16] Things. I can't find them.
[1:43:19] Find gimmick. It's crazy.
[1:43:21] I'll just look search on them. Just look up Santiago Castro you
[1:43:23] should find. It I found them.
[1:43:26] Okay, so go, we're going to count W or L, okay.
[1:43:29] Producer T, you're in this. Farber, Lenny.
[1:43:34] EUR World class Nice. OK.
[1:43:35] Whatever. Brutal.
[1:43:39] Bradford will make Balandor list if he joins Barcelona.
[1:43:41] That was before the transfer. Is that not?
[1:43:43] Is that not a good shout? No.
[1:43:45] It's not an Oracle shout. Sarah Stryker is better than
[1:43:48] Jonathan Davis. Let's go.
[1:43:49] Let's hear this. The tag, we haven't watched him
[1:43:51] in a minute. OK, whatever.
[1:43:52] He's better. He's better.
[1:43:53] None of you have watched him in a minute.
[1:43:54] Well, Sir, is Italian national team.
[1:43:56] Yeah. Moise Keen better better even
[1:43:59] though he's been absolutely shit.
[1:44:00] Exactly, thank you. He's better.
[1:44:01] So does he score the goal? Yes, you put Jonathan David in
[1:44:04] that UVA team and Moise Keene in that Fiorentina team.
[1:44:06] There's very different. People wait.
[1:44:08] Otherwise, Santiago Castro, he scored two goals today, so he's
[1:44:11] must be. He's literally, he's not better,
[1:44:12] John. He's not better.
[1:44:13] He's better than Jonathan David Santiago.
[1:44:15] Castro's actually not bad. He's not.
[1:44:17] He's not bad. He looks pretty good, but he's
[1:44:18] not. David, not bad.
[1:44:20] Has not been good are. We talking about former player,
[1:44:22] I'm talking about player no. Like a mixture.
[1:44:25] So then Moise King should be you.
[1:44:26] Have a game tomorrow, would you rather Jonathan David or
[1:44:28] Santiago Castro? David.
[1:44:30] That's a lie. Oh wait, let's do the same thing
[1:44:31] with Szechko and I tag we. Jonathan, David and I tag we.
[1:44:34] Better than Teschko. Fuck Keen.
[1:44:36] Better than Teschko. Santiago Castro.
[1:44:38] Szechko would be the best striker instead, yeah.
[1:44:40] Szechko's better than Santiago Castro, Asana Diao.
[1:44:42] Are you lying? OK.
[1:44:42] I'm sorry La Taro. Sorry La Taro and Teram.
[1:44:45] Other than those two, he's better than.
[1:44:47] Arsena Diao Airball. Scamaca Airball.
[1:44:51] Scamaca is better than Scamaca. Is better, but he's always.
[1:44:53] Interim's better better Piosito better better better better low
[1:44:57] key younger Bonnie. Better, better.
[1:45:00] Just we're just Bonnie's better, just the right thing.
[1:45:02] We're just saying anything at this point.
[1:45:03] I get it. Dumbic form.
[1:45:05] Dumbic is better. Dumbic is better than than drunk
[1:45:09] and David got better injured better than drunk better.
[1:45:11] Luca Lorenzo, Luca my. God actually, Jonathan David
[1:45:15] better. Bro did you see those AI
[1:45:17] generated memes of Lorenzo Luca as the fucking tree and the ball
[1:45:20] bounces off of it and they say that was actually funny?
[1:45:26] What did you say? It was world class recently.
[1:45:28] Is there some menu? Some menu better than Rodrigo?
[1:45:30] Write that down please. Yeah, I mean, Rodrigo hasn't
[1:45:33] done shit in the last. Fucking did Rodrigo even play
[1:45:36] against Valencia? Not very.
[1:45:38] But he's been playing, though I didn't watch that game so I
[1:45:40] don't know. Bro Rodrigo.
[1:45:41] This one gonna age well. Semenya world class.
[1:45:44] Yeah. You're I make sure to add adding
[1:45:46] Margehi also world class. Margehi enter.
[1:45:49] Enter linked write down. If you guys get Margehi.
[1:45:53] For free. I don't.
[1:45:55] I don't think we ever get him, but I mean.
[1:45:57] Should we start discussing about the interact?
[1:45:59] Margehi overrated also by the way, no.
[1:46:01] I said I I read him. No, you said overrated I
[1:46:04] believe. And he's overrated 11.
[1:46:07] We'll be If any of you guys would like to go witness what a
[1:46:10] what a corrupt league looks like, just look up on Twitter,
[1:46:14] enter or red card. Okay, actually, I would actually
[1:46:17] say if you wanna see Crab League, enter Pius Posito Kamuzo
[1:46:21] and then see get Pius positive, get Clothesline.
[1:46:23] You have the, yeah. Penalty clothesline in the
[1:46:26] penalty box, not a pen. You know many times.
[1:46:28] You know how many times Inter has done that?
[1:46:30] No coffee, but last year so many times yes.
[1:46:34] And then so and that that means that we we shouldn't be get.
[1:46:36] No. Either you call all of them or
[1:46:37] you don't call any. I would say take out your second
[1:46:39] star. So that, Yeah, well, how many
[1:46:41] stars we take over? You already your second.
[1:46:42] That's at least three stars off of you.
[1:46:44] And then we would take out for for corruption.
[1:46:46] We're gonna be two stars. Yeah.
[1:46:48] You, Rob, that's crazy. You're.
[1:46:49] Not a little. Win the league and they give you
[1:46:51] they give you the trophy even though you didn't win the league
[1:46:53] on points. Crazy.
[1:46:53] Work anyway, so enter enter wins the the early game.
[1:46:58] Early game. Usually we we don't do well in
[1:46:59] early games but we win 2/1. Last gasp winner.
[1:47:02] There's something about early games bad.
[1:47:04] Voodoo. Just bad vibes.
[1:47:06] Bad, bad. Millie won't watch a Liverpool
[1:47:09] 4:00 game, but he'll wake up at 6:30 to watch an inter a bit on
[1:47:12] a game. This team, I was there.
[1:47:14] So what are the vibes? I think I think Inter played
[1:47:17] pretty well, but Hellas Verona definitely played well as like
[1:47:20] it was a it was a very good match.
[1:47:21] I I think Inter should have played at a higher level, but it
[1:47:24] was pretty balanced. But we had the better chances,
[1:47:27] better opportunity. Goal of the Season contender.
[1:47:28] I was going to say go watch the highlights.
[1:47:30] Not just cause of the red card but bro that Chalanoglu corner
[1:47:34] assist to Zealand. New.
[1:47:36] Zealand, I was nuts. Was the my the best goal I've
[1:47:38] watched this season? Still got it Was very, very
[1:47:40] clean, yeah. That Galatasaray midfielder
[1:47:42] still got it. Still got it, so.
[1:47:44] And that Napoli midfielder still got it, yeah.
[1:47:46] We may have to speak about that Turkish reffing betting incident
[1:47:50] scandal. So that lucky a crazy scandal.
[1:47:53] You don't know about that. I don't know all there was like
[1:47:56] all the rational league got caught for betting on games.
[1:47:59] All of them. I like all of them and they're
[1:48:01] all betting on Galatasar, I suppose.
[1:48:03] So what? There's no, there's no refs now
[1:48:04] anymore. Yeah, like a major scandal.
[1:48:07] Muno did say that. You know Mario, our buddy Mario?
[1:48:09] Yeah. You guys know Mario, he was
[1:48:12] telling me two, two years ago, OK, like maybe like two seasons
[1:48:15] ago he was saying bro, bet on Galatasaray.
[1:48:19] He goes Galatasaray entire, every single ref in the league
[1:48:22] bets on these guys. Like I don't know how he was
[1:48:24] telling me this and and this he used to add Galatasaray every
[1:48:27] single week. The only time he didn't put them
[1:48:29] is when they played Fender batch.
[1:48:30] Every single week he was putting Galatasaray to when he said it's
[1:48:33] a lock. He goes, I, I've watched some of
[1:48:35] the decisions that are made for Galatasaray.
[1:48:37] It doesn't make sense there. Somebody has to be betting on
[1:48:39] them and shit, I'm gonna text. Me and then, but now you start
[1:48:42] seeing even in the NBA, there's players that were betting on on
[1:48:44] like there. Were.
[1:48:46] They were corroborating with the mob in New York that that they
[1:48:49] were gonna fake injuries and stuff like that.
[1:48:51] So now I think there's actually a big like epidemic in sports
[1:48:55] for gambling players and stuff like that.
[1:48:58] Doesn't help that it's on the it's everywhere I mean.
[1:49:00] Yeah, it, it's crazy. It was actually just an
[1:49:02] epidemic, Yeah. Sports gambling epidemic in
[1:49:04] general, yeah. It's it's kind of nuts, but that
[1:49:07] that NBA one, like they showed the highlights of the game that
[1:49:10] Teddy Rozier, yeah, like actually bet on and the
[1:49:13] turnover. Obvious.
[1:49:15] Was like, I couldn't believe it, bro.
[1:49:17] Yeah, damn. Like it was like I couldn't
[1:49:21] believe. No one thinks it's that.
[1:49:22] No one caught it. No one thinks it's happening
[1:49:24] until it happens. And then you go look back and
[1:49:26] you say, yeah, you know, like the Edmonton, Montreal game, you
[1:49:29] do write a hockey game in the moment.
[1:49:30] You're like, bro, this is shitty reffing.
[1:49:31] But then like, let's say it would come out next year.
[1:49:34] You look back and you would say, but yeah, it makes sense.
[1:49:35] What's crazy is that Terry Rozier makes like 20 million a
[1:49:38] year in the NBA. He did it for 200 grand.
[1:49:40] That's that doesn't make. Sense how do you risk it that's
[1:49:42] what I never understood about these guys they must have owed
[1:49:43] so much money. They must have at once.
[1:49:46] Yeah, like it just makes no sense to me.
[1:49:48] But anyways, all just to say the guys think enter deserve the red
[1:49:51] card. Yeah, but.
[1:49:53] It wouldn't have, but it was the 85th minute.
[1:49:55] But I think it was the. Final minute goal.
[1:49:58] It was an own goal, but like Barela curled it, NPO kind of
[1:50:01] got ahead to it but ended up counting as an own goal.
[1:50:03] So, so we're now how many months into the Kivu ring?
[1:50:05] 3 or 4? What would you grade?
[1:50:07] What would you grade so far? I'll give it AB for now and I
[1:50:12] think that's fair, mainly because he's he he didn't start
[1:50:16] well at the beginning of the season, especially Club World
[1:50:20] Cup was a disaster and started there, but starting the season
[1:50:24] off like he was. So so I think there's still a
[1:50:26] lot of question marks. And then that UVA game, that 43
[1:50:29] UVA game, like he didn't really manage it well.
[1:50:32] So there was definitely a lot of heat on him.
[1:50:34] But then after that UVA game, he ripped off like seven wins in a
[1:50:36] row. Yeah.
[1:50:37] And then Champions League, he was dominant in the Champions
[1:50:40] League. Obviously the competition wasn't
[1:50:41] there, but. But no goals conceded.
[1:50:43] It's still good, but. No goals conceded like he did
[1:50:45] very, very well. And then again the Napoli game,
[1:50:47] Napoli you end up losing. So it's.
[1:50:50] It's against the big teams now. But but, but he we beat Roma.
[1:50:53] We beat Roma, which I consider a top team.
[1:50:54] Yeah, this year for sure. So like it's a mixed bag.
[1:50:57] I'll say B for now because again, like, like we still have
[1:51:01] Luis Enrique there. Diouf that still hasn't like
[1:51:04] really broken in, Like he's not. I feel like those guys haven't
[1:51:07] really gotten into it yet. Yeah, it's like the man
[1:51:09] management still. Yeah, but but he's doing a good
[1:51:11] job with PO, did a good job with Bunny, like midfield's been
[1:51:15] good. He's got the dressing room,
[1:51:16] though. Yeah, I think, I think the the
[1:51:18] players are definitely backing him, so I'm OK with it.
[1:51:21] B or B plus I'd say, but not definitely not an A.
[1:51:23] What would you give? I'd say B plus he's still in the
[1:51:28] title race. Why?
[1:51:29] I think he should be fired? No.
[1:51:31] I don't think he should be fired at all, I just think.
[1:51:33] Officially better than Tudor. I just think that he didn't.
[1:51:36] Last him, yeah. He's just fucking lucky that
[1:51:38] he's managing interactor Inzagy that's all I'm saying.
[1:51:41] Cuz I mean if he was managing UVA, if he was Tudor, if you
[1:51:44] instead of Tudor it was him, he would be doing even worse than
[1:51:47] Tudor did. But I you're.
[1:51:49] Telling me that UVA job is a guaranteed failure for no matter
[1:51:52] who takes it. That's a.
[1:51:53] Guarantee. That's what I'm saying.
[1:51:55] OK. Thank you.
[1:51:56] I don't. Know it's just not.
[1:51:57] The ship is so fucking steady and you you, you basically just
[1:51:59] have to press play. I I completely don't know me
[1:52:02] after 5 zero loss in a final. Screw the players, feelings are
[1:52:05] hurt. That no, but bro, you're walking
[1:52:07] into an environment. Where know how it feels?
[1:52:10] But you see, yeah, I'd say you before they don't, they don't
[1:52:12] understand. Well, it's not about.
[1:52:14] No, it's not about the emotions like.
[1:52:16] The environment you come in now, like the whole country is
[1:52:18] looking at you like I was like. Yeah, and you're supposed to be
[1:52:21] the favorites this year, like under like Kivu.
[1:52:23] Kivu is still a favorite. And he lost the important.
[1:52:25] Game I'm going to go kind of debatable.
[1:52:27] I'm going to give him an A minus.
[1:52:28] To be honest. I actually I don't think that's
[1:52:30] crazy. I I think this is interstitial
[1:52:33] to lose and and saying that at the beginning of the season,
[1:52:35] it's kind of like Arsenal for me enter are some ahead of the pack
[1:52:38] for the rest of the league that I actually I would be surprised
[1:52:43] if anyone other than inter. One crazy how low the
[1:52:45] expectations were. Napoli used to give an A minus
[1:52:47] this year when he lost this. Year Statistically.
[1:52:50] Statistically, inter, I've actually been better under Kilu
[1:52:52] than Inzaghi. Because it's a different brand,
[1:52:54] it's like a slightly different. Brand attacking like with Kivu,
[1:52:57] we're extremely attacking 1st 20 minutes, it's like we we
[1:53:00] bombard. And and the moments like the
[1:53:03] last minute goal where Bastoni goes and turns to Kivu to
[1:53:06] celebrate with Kivu kind of celebration, but whatever will
[1:53:09] will allow it. But it's moments like that that
[1:53:12] make you think like, oh, OK, the players are actually really
[1:53:15] behind them and like the leaders of the dressing room, Bastoni
[1:53:19] and stuff like that are, are, are really behind them.
[1:53:21] And I feel like even even moments like like him going at
[1:53:25] Conte and stuff like that, like it, it, it also deepens our
[1:53:28] relationship. So I'm, I'm, I'm all on the Kivu
[1:53:31] train. I I don't think though that I'm
[1:53:35] still if he about him being a very world class manager.
[1:53:40] Like it's kind of. It's kind of like an Arne Slot
[1:53:44] Clop situation. Like Clop managed that team so
[1:53:47] well and gave him such a good squad that he kind of just had
[1:53:50] to continue what he's doing. But that doesn't mean that Arne
[1:53:52] Slot's world class. But it it it takes someone that
[1:53:55] understands the environment. I agree with that.
[1:53:57] I, I see the resemblance, it's just I, I think Kivu like
[1:54:00] definitely coming from a way lower point.
[1:54:03] Like the jump, that initial jump between Yinzagi and Kiva was
[1:54:07] like miles, you know what I mean?
[1:54:09] Like perception. Was real class.
[1:54:11] Perception wise. So I think he's he's definitely
[1:54:13] growing into the job and I think as time goes on he'll get into
[1:54:17] those bigger games and understand like how to manage
[1:54:19] those games better. So we'll see.
[1:54:21] I think. I think for me it's just you.
[1:54:23] You have to win the big games. Smart out this league.
[1:54:25] Well, we can move on today on Milan Vita Roma one.
[1:54:30] Final game of the day finishing off well for firms we.
[1:54:32] Lifted so same question, what would you grade Alecity so far?
[1:54:37] I'm going to give it an A minus considering like what Milan came
[1:54:41] from. We have, we had like no outlook,
[1:54:44] no project according to many of you guys.
[1:54:46] Hold on. I mean, we're on top of you.
[1:54:51] So I just feel like he's managed the dressing room well.
[1:54:54] The players that we brought in have been gelling well.
[1:54:57] There's actually, but. Ichi's fucking slow.
[1:54:59] Yeah, that's that's your debate There it is.
[1:55:01] The tactics have been good. What's good most most of the
[1:55:04] games I. Don't get it 10?
[1:55:06] Most of the games we've been dominant, except maybe the
[1:55:09] Napoli one. I've said this multiple times
[1:55:12] today we should have won against Roma by many more goals, like we
[1:55:15] could have scored three. Yeah, Roma just had a pen, you
[1:55:17] know. Roma could have scored one.
[1:55:19] Obviously the pen now. They kind of outplayed you in
[1:55:21] the first half though the. First half they played better,
[1:55:23] but again, like Milan in the past year and maybe even before
[1:55:27] that in the in the first half, we're always dog shit and then
[1:55:30] we kind of grow into the game. I think it's all.
[1:55:32] Mentality last year I'd say you lose this game, yes.
[1:55:34] But they're not only this game. We lose the Pisa game, we lose
[1:55:37] the maybe the Juventus game, we lose the Napoli one.
[1:55:40] We would have lost like all these games where it's just
[1:55:43] momentum is against you. Allegory somehow is able to get
[1:55:46] the team going and keep the mentality.
[1:55:48] I hate giving a bro the de Bala fucking Mr. Penro.
[1:55:51] Yeah, he did that like. We dominated that game.
[1:55:54] Dominated. I know I actually played very
[1:55:56] well. Yeah, by the way.
[1:55:57] Yeah, first half not that good, but.
[1:55:59] If he but yeah, he got into it this.
[1:56:01] V Lad was amazing but this again we should have scored more
[1:56:05] goals. Unfortunately we have strikers
[1:56:07] that can't finish. Leo, thankfully, is back to his
[1:56:09] form, so he's scoring a bit more and he's assisting.
[1:56:12] He assisted on that goal in pretty.
[1:56:13] Yeah, he did. It was a crazy run, but the fact
[1:56:15] that Pavlovich is scoring the goals and maybe not in Kunku and
[1:56:18] Jimenez was benches game shows that like we have a striker
[1:56:21] problem. I'll.
[1:56:21] Give it a B plus. I'm gonna go.
[1:56:24] I'm gonna. You're AB plus.
[1:56:25] I don't know depending considering where Milan came
[1:56:28] from like that whole the both over last season, I'm gonna give
[1:56:31] it an A. I'm gonna give it an A.
[1:56:33] Nothing higher than an A. Well, I mean, I'm just looking
[1:56:35] at, I'm just like, like the Atlanta game.
[1:56:37] You can correct me, but that was not a game where you guys were.
[1:56:40] No, but but that's that's a tough game that obviously we
[1:56:43] should have won. Happy to get a point out.
[1:56:45] Exactly which the the Pisa. Game most teams would be happy.
[1:56:48] The Pisa game was we should. Have beaten them.
[1:56:50] But they were up to 1, like even if you guys wanted to win, they
[1:56:53] were still up to one in the 90th minute.
[1:56:55] Like you guys got the equalizer. It's not like it was tied and
[1:56:58] they or like you were guys were up a.
[1:56:59] Goal still like it's a home game, like we should be beating
[1:57:01] Pisa. Do you have a Milan game?
[1:57:04] We we had some good chances. You guys, you guys should have
[1:57:06] won that game, yeah, or or, or a tie was or a tie was like.
[1:57:10] Tie is like, OK, we got a tie. It is what it is.
[1:57:12] But like it's not great and the only other drop points was
[1:57:14] canamonize it but whatever. I'll just chalk that up to it
[1:57:16] was the first game. This year it really, it really
[1:57:18] depends how later on in the season when things kind of get
[1:57:22] like like very cold this gets. Tiring over time.
[1:57:26] It depends. I could have gotten results.
[1:57:28] I could have gotten results. But but, but again, I think I
[1:57:30] think I likely like at UVA compared to a legged and Milan
[1:57:33] is two different scenarios. Like I understand why you get
[1:57:36] tired because it's like you're playing the same way and you're
[1:57:39] not winning. Whereas like before you were
[1:57:40] playing the same way and you were winning.
[1:57:42] So like you kind of tolerate it. But if you're playing exactly
[1:57:44] the same way but losing those games, I could see why it's get
[1:57:47] tiring. But like, considering where
[1:57:48] Milan came from, any Milan fan will tell you I will take yeah
[1:57:52] exactly any single day of the fucking.
[1:57:53] Week, so I'm saying, is where they came from.
[1:57:55] Yeah, where they came from, but I.
[1:57:56] Forget you, forget where you were.
[1:57:58] Yeah, but I'm expecting, I'm expecting maybe not by January
[1:58:01] unless the defense what you guys do in January, but I don't
[1:58:03] think. We're gonna buy.
[1:58:04] They say they're gonna buy striker and the defender, which
[1:58:07] is man that no one. Said that, yeah, just said it
[1:58:10] said. It I don't be dating Cindy
[1:58:11] Sweeney by January. But The thing is that January is
[1:58:14] kind of known as you're not getting, you're fixing, you're
[1:58:17] fixing, you're not getting top class and you have to wait for
[1:58:19] the summer if you want like. We're in Said yeah, we're not
[1:58:21] getting any top and we're not getting what do you expect, bro?
[1:58:25] What do you expect us to get? How?
[1:58:26] If you get Champions League this season, you're able you could go
[1:58:29] in and get some top to your players.
[1:58:30] I'm not saying you're getting the top of the fucking give.
[1:58:32] Me an example that you Milan could could recruit.
[1:58:34] What do you mean? We got the first first season
[1:58:36] out of champion. The first season we got to
[1:58:37] champions, we end up getting Lukaku Barela.
[1:58:40] Like what are you talking about? Yeah.
[1:58:41] That's true. So, so wait.
[1:58:42] This year. This year.
[1:58:43] So this summer, who's a realistic target for Milan at
[1:58:47] striker? It's going to be like a
[1:58:48] Levandowski out of contract, which no.
[1:58:50] Not even that would be crazy. If you think that's yeah, that's
[1:58:53] that's like that's shoot for the stars.
[1:58:55] I'm saying it's going to be more like a Jonathan Burkhardt
[1:58:58] situation or like maybe if you're lucky, Pinicelli, like
[1:59:01] Pinny Kelly, Pinny Kelly, whatever.
[1:59:03] The That guy looks good. I don't have any names in mind,
[1:59:05] but what I'm thinking is like, once you give him a summer, see
[1:59:10] what he can do with it. And then I need, I need to
[1:59:11] expect, I need to see better. That's what I shoot for, the
[1:59:13] sizing for the. Garbage but yeah, but yeah, a
[1:59:16] couple of fixes. I I, I find we're we're playing
[1:59:18] well. We have an inter game coming up
[1:59:21] soon, so that's. That's the big.
[1:59:23] Test. That's a barometer.
