Do We Even NEED Referees Anymore?

[Music] Hello everybody, Happy Monday morning. Welcome to another football filling Lads as the game ever been more gone than that final decision in the Liverpool Man City game as the game ever been more gone. Imagine if it comes down to gold difference. Don't you think? Don't you think? Don't you think? If that imagine the score was Niel Niel. Yeah, imagine the score was Niel Niel and it was a really important game. One each something like that and then they've winning did that. The Brentford would have gone above Liverpool. Yes they did that. Gold would have counted yeah? Honestly, I was texting you on a tart and my head was flying off. Flying. And I'm an Arsenal fan and I don't want City to win but I'm thinking that's outrageous. How was that even happening? Remember I was listening to Talksport earlier and Niel Warnock was on and he said that Bill Shankly said that refs know the rules but they don't know the games. That's the bit there there not understanding the game there right. Instead of just going do you know what let's just let this all go yeah I know the rules are the rules and the rules are a load of shit anyway to be honest with you. And the rules are the rules. You can't do it but they've gone to do it because it's by the letter of the law we have to do this because of the AR he who's at Craig Paulson was there. He can't do it. You know my take would be on this now get rid of refs. You may just have a computer just have a computer just like just don't bother play a sound or something like that and that means stop and you're looking at the screen like stop or we've come so far now just don't bother. So basically if you let that moment go everyone would have been far more than apart from you to have a slap on the wrist. Yeah it would have told off. We wouldn't have got a slap on the wrist. It would have been a big thing. It would have probably worked. It's a big thing. So let's just say at the end of the season we had it champions league Villa didn't we weren't that yeah yeah yeah yeah. Let's say Liverpool or there was a a defining one-gold difference okay and the team that are on the other end of it let's say Liverpool would have gone no we're taking it to court that decision cost us 100 million quid or whatever. No like even just there's so many different factors as well like Subosla now has got a three game back. Yeah. The whole game in it. Three game back. I know three it's a matter of four. Subosla he's got a three game back now like nobody wanted that red card. Nobody wanted it. Nobody wanted it. Nobody wanted it. Two managers post game were very good. Slotly. Yeah they were. Because like he said the only people that benefit is Sunderland because he can't play the next match. Sorry. I mean it's nonsense but like the ref had got nowhere to go with it because if he didn't bring it back and do his job he won't. It's not the rest of the world. It's not his fault. It's not it's it's actually nobody's fault. Yeah it's the lawmakers. It's the system. It's VAR and the lawmaker. It doesn't have say in commentary and I hated it. He said I'm a big fan of the AR but they've got this one wrong. I'm a big fan of the AR. Nobody's a big fan of the AR. What you want about it's ruining everything. It's ridiculous. It is. That's just keeping your employer happy though. You know what I'm massive. Touch on the AR. So for me the you've said it before is the goal I'm telling you class and then it's the semi-automated off-site. So I was thinking about it. So with off-sides how can I make it quicker? You know everyone wears this GPS in the back. Why can that not be like the gauge in the monitor? Yeah. So like if you're if my GPS in front of yours is not quite like you're at enough. If you've got a sensor there and a sensor in your back as well you've got a good gauge there as well. I'm a massive chest of someone like him and might benefit him. But if you've got a sensor there it can just be banged down. Easy. But there the only decisions are really one making for me. Everything else just let the referee referee it. Just let him do it. Championship. You watch your championship. Goal goes in, you know it's a goal because the line-o and the referee have ran away and that's it. Everybody can celebrate. As soon as the player scores a goal he looks at the line-o. Yeah. He looks at the referee and he knows he can celebrate within a split second and then everybody else can celebrate. And that's the bit that's been taken away from ripped away from us. It's horrible. We talk about the more positive things. I mean it was a mad game really wasn't it? That's what it's like. I'm still right. We'll be so flat last night on this morning working up because when Zabos and I put that free kick in. They're like oh my god. Like the sat there thinking. That's it. We're done. We're doing. Well we were on the group chat last night and first thing Foszie said, I've gone what outrageous goal you put. Not sure about the two man wall with handsome bollocks taking the free kick. Yeah. So basically it's for me it's a very brave decision. I actually quite like the decision because from that distance you are saying right I think I can save this without a wall basically. I'm going to put you there just because it's just doing a sort of job. It's a little bit of a deterrent. That's a good deal. But I think I can save that because in training if I was Gigi Donoran or I'd say right if you're going to take a free kick from 35 yards like that I would save it nine and a half times out of ten. You do very well to score one from that distance. You really were the only way you're not saving it's when you've got bodies in front of you. So why why wouldn't he? Why is he chosen not to? Is it because the four might get in his way? Yeah he wants to see more of the ball basically. He wants to just be able to see more of the ball. Well it's almost third man out then they touch the ball. I've been fair off having no wall and standing in the middle of the ball. It's still really safe there. Yeah probably yeah. If he had no wall it's the two aren't really doing anything to be put in. I'm the two. I'm the two stopping the kind of the whip into the far left corner. They're doing something. But he no way was to hit it. Yeah the one against Arsenal like it. He hit the one recently like it. That was my sort of problem with it is that it's not a curly up he whip. He just go boom and that's why I thought he should have had three. Should have had three. I go with it. He's not a Ronaldo and he's scored some unbelievable three kicks. But I don't think he gets the open over. No we don't. So I said well if you get the third man it's going to hit him. Yeah. And that was my point and obviously you were making the same point because I don't think he can get it open over like a Ronaldo. He's just itting it and obviously the ball then wobbles and goes further to his left and Donnaroo was going. In fact if that's the one you know I said nine and a half times out of 10 you're saving it in training. That is the one that probably goes in genuinely. It's not because it moves your way. Because it moves and wobbles and then it hits the post as well. They are so hard to save. Are you proud of it? This is Donnaroo or any goalkeeper now. Every time Sobasla has got that one there you better off covering the other side of the goal. No because it's harder for him to go to aim for the left side. He can wobble anywhere though. He scored the one against Arsenal didn't he? Yeah same thing. No it was the other one. Is he out of the. Complete opposite corner yeah. That's what I mean. He can wiggle it any which way. But I think you need to get a sight of the ball first and foremost. But if it's a rocket like them you're struggling for it. But it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. The pace of it. I think they'll be saying come on. We know he's it the one before. You've seen him eat it. Just put the wall in and it can't get it. It will turn anywhere. Yeah they did. It was a bit too easy. But we. I'm not coming for Gigi Donnaroo on there by the way. I just think that's something he might look at that. When you identify the player that's taking it you go right. Let's just stick a three man in there. Yeah that's what that's the key isn't it. Looking at who's standing over the ball. Who's standing over the ball. But then you fast forward to the end of the game and the save. Can't come from when he does that. Make the match win in save that there's probably another one goal in the Premier League save it probably Emmy Martin as just for the pure size. I think the size gets him the size. Just pure size is the only reason they make that. And it sees it so light and steps into it. He's so good. Yes. But the flexibility of him and the power to save it is. A big guy moving that quickly and that agile. Only him in probably Emmy Martin is the only ones in the Premier League to save that. This episode is presented by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Everyone thinks they're a Premier League psychic. But now you can actually prove it with Coke Zero's guess the goals. All you've got to do is grab a Coke Zero, scan the QR code and guess how many match week goals are going to be scored in total. If you guess correctly you'll be entered into a prize draw with a thousand official Premier League footballs to be won every week. T.S.E's applies to Coke.co.uk/PL goals - dash terms. Alison Fowler, Nuno. Well, it's a 100% penalty. Our set to toes before we started. I'm screaming at the telly. Just stop. It's such a poor decision from Alison. For all his experience. I know. He's so stupid. He had a couple of. He had the moment with. Was it. My mush? Was it? When he comes. And my mush. I can't even say why. Didn't want to. You go in that little area there, you're asking for trouble, you are, you really are. I think he just needs to come out and just shepherd. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And just see what it does first. Halfway there, just put the brakes on. Yeah, just put the brakes. I mean, Arsenal would have been like, what? Yeah. Staying the goal mate. Yeah, I mean. Just didn't give it an inch to lose. Yeah, that is a penalty. It's not the old element. And then slot was saying about the. One decision he had a grievance with was the seller through on goal. Was he gay, he pull? Yeah. What did you make of that one? That was the right decision, wasn't it? Yeah, I think that was the right decision to be fair there. So you know what, with that VR gets given an answer. Probably. It does. Yeah, probably does to be fair, yeah. But this is what I mean, the whole. It all gets in the referees head. Everything just gets in the referees head now. So now he's. Like, second-guessing himself. Don't know really what to do. I can just rely on VR, so I'll just wait. Well, that's the point you said earlier. You're not going to have a refsum. Because it'll not make a decision. And he waits for somebody to talk in his ear. You might have missed one there mate, or you might have done this, you might have done that. But he'll just let it keep going until he has to make a fit. It is. You know what I'm the thing is, I don't know where you'll always say it. And it's like the game's so rich now. Like, commercially, it's so rich. And there's so much technology. But like, when it's when you go to the games, like we've all been to games and season, that's when you really. Because you sit on the TV, right? And you can sit and a seven-minute VR. I mean, you sit on the phone and you do, you do. But when you're at the game, that's when you really see it and go, this is shit. Yeah. It's going on. I'm sitting here waiting, bored out my edit. Yeah, must be getting a few of it. I've not been to a game like that, so. A lot of it. Absolutely, it's not good for the game. I agree with what, what I said though, I think that goal going in Arsenal would have seen that and gone, "Come on, come on!" Well, they've got a massive, well, look, we know this fixes this week, but they've got obviously the last game is on the Thursday night away at Brentford. So they're going to see what everybody else produces and that is a very tough game. In fact, you've probably said that's probably the artist's fixture at them, and it Brentford did it on a bit of a rollout. Arsenal just keep need to get these 3pm Saturday afternoon kickoff. That's what they need to keep getting, mate, it's perfect for them, right? Sunderland, you've watched against Sunderland with flat, didn't really offer to, even Arsenal weren't fantastic in fairness, just put their goals away, but I think that's perfect for Arsenal. It sort of dampens the Northern. So the six points, 13 games, it's a lot of football. It's still game on, isn't it? Oh, massively game on. It's still made that can change so quickly. I love good to go to city. They've got to go to city. The biggest thing for me would be that Carabao Cup Final. That would be psychologically huge. Because if city beat Arsenal, it's like, you know, we're here. We're coming here. Might have even caught them by then, you never know. But if Arsenal hadn't beat him, it's like, right, we've got to play you again next week or the week after. It's good. Do you know what? I like it. I really do. I like it. Because I know city have got it in them to go into it, but I like the fact that Arsenal, this kind of resolute solid, don't need to be all singling and dancing. We just get the job done. By the way, free no beatings Sunderland. It's impressive, isn't it? But still, just get them result, get it done, and let's just keep moving and keep the noise down. Good for city, though, isn't it? Because everything's about Arsenal. People even say about the quadruple and stuff. City can win the quadruple. Yeah, exactly. So, like, no one's talking about it. No one's talking about it. Let's be loving that. That's so good for them. Do you believe in Mendy? What a feeling. You're an Arsenal fan, right? Sixth, sixth Premier League goal in the season for it. Yeah. Is he up there with signings of the season, though? I think it's been quality. When he first came in, I was a bit like, I don't know. It does so much good work out of possession. He's like a little rat. He just nicks a ball all the time, but-- And I always thought every time received it off the back four, like, part A was so in control and he'd like, turn and play forwards. But as Mendy wasn't doing that, but Zubimendi's offering so much going forward. Is he just going ahead as-- Hey, that's right. That's right from there. Is it first time coming across your body? On real straights. People were saying, like, roofs from like near post, maybe no chance. No, no chance. He's currently around body. He's got a little bit. It looks like he misses it a little bit. No, it's a big word. I thought you had the amazing goal. And he catches the goalie out a little bit. He's not-- he's not his fault. I mean, what a goalie. I don't mean come on to it. But no, I think that's a little-- To be fair, what I liked about Arsenal was they changed. So obviously with Yokarez not being there, they played Hazus and Havats off him. So they kind of like into change. So what happens there is-- because it ball goes into Yokarez. He's not reliable into feet. He's more of a runner in behind. But Hazus can come deeper and Havats can draw-- and go the opposite way. So it's a bit different to the-- They're all very different players. Oh, to God, Yokarez can move with the ball lovely as well. You can glide with it. Hazus, like they could have dropped in in. Yokarez is a bit in behind. It's a threat for all angles. It's almost like a little too striker there. It's obviously Havats has been up top. A couple more. So he's now up to 18, 23 in the premp. 13, in 32 in all comps for Yokarez. Well, it would be the top score in the premply league, I think, at the minute, isn't he for Arsenal? Yokarez. I think he's now top score. They all share it about nicely, don't they? But I bet he's probably just about top now, isn't he? Yeah, I'm just trying to think it would be there, because I think-- The whole score quite a few, right? The whole score of quite a few. I think it's a goal. Oh, I'll just say, oh, G's were probably up there on the set of plays, but they were ridiculous. But they're getting it done, aren't they? Why are we obsessed with them having a 25 goal with season? I think that tick points clear at the top. Don't mind it at all, Hazus. It's like I said on match today, when the finishes are coming on. Marta, Leo, Yokarez come on. They both play part in two goals. So unbelievable. Arsenal's next three fixtures. Brent, for the way, wolves away and spurs away. With a little FA Cup on front in there as well. Tough. Very tough. I think this week, it's always we get to deciding points, but finishing the week last Thursday night at Brentford, that's the start of that three games away from home. That is the acid test for them. If the contact any kind of momentum from that game, you would expect them, even though wolves have dropped off a little bit at home now. I think the expectation will be that they'll go and railroad them. Well, we have 10 games left after that, yeah? After them three, three away against Arsenal, 10 games left. They get nine points from there, it's theirs. That's the biggest. No, not though. Still not. No, 10 games is low. No, no, no. After that, these fixtures are on top of my head. They've got Chelsea home then. Then like a bright in a way, then a city away. Then it's like Newcastle at home. I've not looked at his fixtures very much, don't I? I know the finish, but I definitely know the finish. Palace away. Palace away to finish. But on with you, honestly, anything can happen in the Prem. Anything can happen in the Prem. Structure, toss it. Sit here. Sit here, fancy. That, getting over the line, yes, for them. And even just knowing that Arsenal are at Brentford last up this week, midweek, it's just give them such my belief and momentum. And many times I was sat here and said, they're on that run again, 10 games, 15 games, 20 games. They can do it. They've got the potential in the team to do it, yeah? Tottenham Toes. Talk to me about our boy, Christian Romero, right? He knew exactly what he was doing. He just spoke to Guy, didn't he? I think he wants to go. Those tackles, right? We call them a freebie, don't we? Yeah. Because in days come by, yeah, you know you're going to get the ball, but then you know you're going to get the player. You know it, right? And it reminds me of like a late 90s early 2000s tackle where that would have been applauded. Genuinely, all your teammates, your manager, the goal is go get in there, you little-- That's what we want to see. He knows what he's doing. In this current era of football, where you've got every angle going, that is an app. And prefer to lose. Yeah, it's in search and you need the app for that one. Oh my god, we were watching in the pub at a nice creamy pint in my hand, right? Nice creamy pint. And I watched, I went, well, that's a red card. And the mate in my hand actually went, we got the ball there, I went, yeah, all right, good. That's a red card. That's a sixth red card for Spurs. And one of them was in Europe against Vittessa. Man United, Liverpool, City and Chelsea. She's got red cards against. Get's a little bit excited, do we? So he misses four games, though. Like he's, yeah, he misses four games. So, obviously, a very, very good player. But the best defender in the world, apparently. Well, yeah, it says Messi. I think he's there to get the manager of the suck with a tackle on them. Joe, what? I know we're laughing about it. And it is kind of our fun, either way, there it was. But he is absolutely ruined the day for top of the net. He's ruined the day for every one of his teammates, for the travelling party, for all the masseurs, physios, to manage everybody, for the fans. He has ruined it for them that day. Because as soon as he does that, the game's done. Game is over. What has he come out and said last week, leading up to the game? He's disgusted by the lack of transfer of activity considering how many injuries they've got. But what about being disgusted in yourself? Exactly. And letting you say that. A bit of disgrace. But he's been allowed to do it, though. By the manager coming out and saying, "I'm just off." By the manager coming out and not absolutely condemning him and killing him and ripping him in the asshole, right? Then you sort of, like, you let it go. You let it breathe, don't you? He's allowed to keep doing it. That's like that. Like, ill well, we'll get a two week, two week way to flying for that, for sure, right? But that's the minimum that shouldn't be happening. That should be, should be slight holding up. You're not a bit leads with the team. In the changing rooms, you've got to be saying, "You're a captain, you are." That's an absolute disgrace what you've just done. I think there is missing four games. Whether that's two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, whatever that is. That's what he should be fine. He's not there for them four weeks. I'm his action. Yeah, he's not able to come out. So he should then be fine that, in my opinion. It did it ruined the game. It did, it did. It ruined the game. It was going to happen, you know it was going to be one way traffic at Manu Nided and it played into around nicely. Manu Nided, still before that, were probably the best team anywhere. There was really decent, some of that movement at the minute by the way. I'm hopping out. I've not touched passing this. What's happening? No, it's belief. The best way to hop on a belief belief, isn't it? It's good, isn't it? I wanted to ask you about the first. Got a water. So the Emblemo goal, clearly from character action, clearly, I worked on it on the training ground. Oh, it was lovely. It's great. But probably like his marking and his own point of view. Why is Emblemo, who's pretty lethal, why is he just completely on his eye? Well, the interesting thing for me is they've obviously really worked on it. So they thought they were probably going to get a block somewhere. But because they're down to 10 minutes, they've obviously left the edge clear. So it's even easier because I think they'd have tried to get a block so they've still got the shot off somewhere. But like, somebody in the spurs, it's got a sniff here. I mean, how many times do you see that ball in and the little reverse? Loads of times. But nobody. And that's what spurs are, aren't they? You know what I mean? Frank's really, obviously from his time at Brentford, a set piece master. And nobody could see it. I will really surprise that. It's great action, but it was so easy for him. So easy. That's the way they go out and block it. You don't even try that one. That's what I'm saying. They're just flinging out there to try and. You know what your tactics are. And you're looking at the opposition. You see how they set up for tactics. They say it's how they set up for corners, four and again. And you can do a load of work around what that looks like. But in the game, still stuff changes, doesn't it? You might go down to 10 men. Somebody might have a little injury, so you have to cover for it. You do that and you smell it. And you have to go, right, make sure somebody's ringing the box. Yeah, basically. You have to have somebody ringing the 18, yeah. But the guys then all stood there and nobody released them. No, no. Like put the body on the line. Team or the manager? What a lovely finish, though, by the way. He's meant to stroke that. You wouldn't believe he's taking all the pace off it, right? And he's just arrested on the body. Into the corner. Honestly. I've never been there. I've been brilliant. They have been brilliant. They're proper man, new players, aren't they? Yeah. And how good is it to see Manu back in there? Brilliant. And like playing what a player. Because you forget, he played in the Euro's final round. Exactly. And how good he is. Well, some are in thinking, well, as many sardines and he's watching Manu Terry. He's probably thinking, oh my god. Get real. In sports, and I don't know. We watch him that. No, I know. He can't watch it. But actually, it's, I mean, we all know he failed miserably. Really. but he came in with a reputation. But when you see Kirk do what he's done with this team and bring, like, how can you not have a top player like Manor in the team? No. You can't defend that ever, can you? No. And. There's something gone on there. There's got to have been a massive fallout because there's no way you can watch that player on Saturday do what he did and him not have been in the team because he is. You can tell he's a player. He's brilliant. He is. He's an absolute player. So something's got to go on. Seems like I'm a kid as well. Yeah, I know. I saw a little clip of him giving Bruno a bit as well. Actually, to be fair, it's been Bruno that when they get the ball up there, keep hold of it, I think he did something, lost possession, sloppy or something like that, and he could give him Bruno out for all his career. What was that? He was just pumped that was it. Oh, he'd probably flung his hand in it. You're talking to. Could you not had finished his higher second? Mate, they were in a championship race. I was waiting for that. Mate, wait there, say that again, Ben. Right down the lens of the game. I tell you what, mate, Manor Knight could go and win. Right, so what we got there, 13 games left, right? If Manor Knight had won eight or nine or ten of them, right? They are in a fight. I've got to tell you what. What kind of fight? Well, he kind of fight. So we're talking about Arsenal, possibly fond to it, and possibly dropping it to the second. What, you're on about the title. How many points are there behind you? People are saying if they win eight or nine games. Arsenal are going to win five. Mate, you never know, all right? 12 points. You never know. There's no way. There's no way. All right. Believe can get you there, OK? No, I have. Believe can get you there. Mate, right, let's. There's a big, curry-bund wagon. There's been some questionable takes on the football film in the last two weeks. Obviously don't me, mate, I think. But I think that they can definitely be a solid top four, genuinely solid top four. I mean, they could finish up in this year. It's not beyond the round. It's beyond the round. It's very unlikely, but a solid top four from where they were is an unbelievable achievement. Could we talk about the range of Celtic jump from last week? Yeah. Because I was listening to talk sport a Monday. You were really good. Well done. Yeah. But you didn't after a U-turn, mate. No, no, no. You got your rainman going. No, no. Two scots around, Jeremy. Come on, come on. It's not. I still learn what I said was, right? I still think that you put the current Celtic and the current ranges team into the championship, they would struggle. They might not get relegated, but they're struggling. Yeah. You said they're getting promoted. They're getting promoted. I disagree. I don't think we're. I think they'll be up there. And the big. There's a big difference between. Like looking at ranges in a Celtic as a whole and going, "Oh, they're smashed in the. They'd be in the. Yes, I agree with that. They probably would be in a few years' time, right? But for now, the current quality and standard of the team would. They're on about transporting this current squad. Exactly. Directly and. Directly and. Okay, because it'd get me a struggle. Because they had one preseason where they've got championship money. They are getting promoted. Probably. It's not that easy, mate. There's themes with much bigger budgets in the championship than Celtic or ranges. I've fit them both on top. There are. Top six, I think. Yeah, but it's not a doddle. What I'm saying is not an absolute given right here and right now. With the teams they've got now, there wouldn't be. Look at the budgets and some of those teams. Look at the money they get spent in the championship, right? I guarantee you this team. The top half of the championship are on higher wages than what the. Then the Scottish. Yeah, they will. Yeah, that's what they're up for. But so wages and budget normally dictate quality of team, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, why do you think then that this lower budget of players are going to be able to just constrict to the future? Because what they'll do is they'll then budget for the fact that they're in English pyramid and they've got the potential to go into the Premier League, they're huge clubs, so. So, you've got 60,000. Yeah, a few weeks. If Celtic or ranges go into that league, every player in the. It's going to be one. It's going for a right wing out there. I agree. So, if they had a preseason like Tom Senn, and they signed three or four minimum, they're going to be right up there. I agree with this. With your saying, the current team. My point is the quarantine. Look at the plunk of it in the first season, you know. But this is what I'm just saying, though. My point was the current team would struggle, and I don't think anyone can fully discipline that. Let me ask you a different question. Conquer, one hundred percent. Thanks, Walter. Thank you. Celtic or ranges were in the Premier League with Premier League budgets. They're a problem. How many years before they're challenging for the title? Or. I still think it's a big ask to challenge in the title. I don't seem challenging for the title. That's a big ask. How many years. In Europe? In Europe. How many years? Six. Before they're challenging for Europe. No, they'll be challenging for Europe. With Premier League, I'm sorry. Three. They'll be challenging for Europe after three years. Oh, no. I'm 10 years before they're anywhere near it. I'm with what? 10 to 15 years of challenge. Listen, how many. How many Northern teams. Sons that have went up this year. How many Northern teams, yeah, can be that team. And it sounds bad this, but geographically, it's hard to get players to go and play in that sort of sunderland. All these Northern teams, Midasbrac. It's hard to get them to live there and stay there, right? Because they'll have a wife or family and everybody else to go. It's raining again. It's freezing cold. Like. Glass go. Can we go down to London, please? Can I go and live in London? Go on, get that, and I'll do that. I want to go average every day. We've picked a sunderland. Suddenly, one up this year, I don't know whether it's sitting in the league at the moment, but they've come up and they've gone, "Bang." But they've been better equipped than they would. They'd be better equipped. Yeah, they would. But I still think it's a massive ask to expect them to challenge for the league for the challenging for the winning of the Premier League. Within 15 years, yeah. They're challenging Europe after three years, I think. 10 to 15 years to get anywhere near it. Because if the game keeps us staying. They are. They're just. But the bottom line is what Fosie says. You ultimately, when they're right up there, they are still not going to attract the top, top players to get off the line to win that league. So it is a thing, then. So what about the away teams going up there and playing against them in that cold? Yeah, it'll be a problem. But that's always been the way. The Rangers at home and Celtic at home, is where they will get most of their points. And if you put them into the championship now, they'd have a much better home record than a way record, a guarantee. Because going to those stadium, the atmosphere is like nothing you've ever experienced. I've played at Celtic away in a Champions League game. And honestly, I was scared. In the scary. You go out. You go out and that atmosphere, the hissing, the whistling. Oh, it's brilliant. I don't know if they're ever challenged for the title, but they'd be challenging for Europe after a few years. Like, 15 years in that league, they are. Yeah, they can keep turning the money off of it. They're going to be up there and be big, but they'll never, ever, and we'll never know, just be able to really get the big players. Oh, we get it. Well, I'll say that though, what I. But you look back when there was. Not parity, but back, maybe in the 90s, where the Scottish League was really thriving. Yeah. They had the big play. They had the big boys in there. They had no problem attracting the big play. They were playing some of them. It is a completely different game nowadays. It is completely different. But money was a bit more. A level, no? More on par. It was closer, wasn't it? It was closer. Ah, this such a disparity is ridiculous, yeah. You go to any bloody holiday destination on planet. There's always. I'm not taking raises and I'm not that. Yeah. And I'm getting dog reviews from South Turk and Rangers. And I get that, but my. Because you hate them, Ben. No, I don't actually. My point is though, that they. At this moment in time, would struggle in their championship. Can I just touch on Gary Neville's commentary again yesterday? How. I thought he was very biased in the fact that when they got that penalty, he was like buzzing, because obviously, Liverpool stayed below Manu, and also that means that Citi can then have a chance to get an asshole. It's not. It's not. It's not. He's gone to the days, 10 years ago, five years ago. You have to be neutral. Yeah. It's not a bit more impartial than that. You have to be impartial, yeah. You have to. And now, when it's a man-set-y game or an asshole Liverpool, Manu, they get the players that have played for them teams in. But you can't help showing a bit of emotion. When something goes off, you know you're going to show. I don't like it. You're real emotion, and. Yeah, and I agree, yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it. I actually came family around yesterday, Liverpool fans, and they were like, you know what? Just don't like it when Nables commentating on Liverpool, because it just feels. It feels off. It feels off. And it goes to me first and then it's off. But if you go to the team, Manu and I, they're not going to win it. They're not going to get nowhere near it. But from where they've been, I think they'll be. And Caric, especially as he's in charge now, they'll be absolutely distraught if they don't get top four. That's a good airplane at the minute. They're finished third. I've finally, definitely finished third. One surprise. No. One surprise. Villa, unfortunately. Villa, Villa, we're going to struggle. You're starting to see them struggling a little bit, because I think everything's just sort of catching up with them a little bit. Should we talk a little bit, you can go into it if you want. The Lucas Dignier. Oh, Mark. Honestly, I think now we won the. I couldn't defend that better than that. No, one hit. Has he. Has he. Has he assumed that the midfield are coming back in, he's going to track him and stay with him and run alongside him. He just thought that he's going down the outside, and that's what he's getting ready to defend. And as soon as he's gone inside, he's gone off. His body shape's gone. He can't move. That's it. But he just slowly turns and walks and just walks. He's in tow, bung it into the corner. I could believe it. I could not believe it. Well, I saw it. Literally, Raya is Raya, isn't it? Raya and Squared him up, and he looks like he's going to go down there. He's just gone, literally, a simple drop of shoulder. As a defender there, you overcover on the outside. Yeah, I only have to. Show him outside. Give him maybe if he can to show him outside. Yeah, even if he's so dominant right footed and so much faster, you're letting him go down there, because you're better off dealing with a cross than any finale. Less or two evils. Less or two evils, exactly. So he should be showing him inside. It should be inside their body language in there. And if he knows that he's got someone in there covering him, then he can overreg it a little bit more. Yeah. But he can. It's so bad. It made me laugh when I actually saw it. I was driving back from Derby, Ipswich, because it would have to have kick off. So I'd got the football on. And the described what Dinyor had done in that goal. I thought, surely not. And then when I saw it on Mac to the day that night, I was like, oh my god, it's worse than they even said on the TV. It can't get anywhere. Honestly, mate, when I saw it, I was like, I can. Oh my god. He was so bad. I mean, I don't know what Emily would have liked. You couldn't imagine. Do you think he's pulling in there? Do you think he's having trouble having a little 1v1 with him or something? Or show it in a meeting or something? Oh mate. I don't know how he goes about his business, but yeah, somebody's-- He's got two, hasn't he? Good luck, say Lucas, mate. Come on. How old is he? How old is Luke at the end? 30. Oh, so around 30. Oh, he's an experienced Premier League player. He'll have a couple of hundred Premier League appearances under his mouth. Listen, he's far better than me. but I'd defend that picture. But I think what's done it is players now you know the modern play gets so much information on everybody the facing young lad just coming into it Yeah, probably not quite just you know the standard don't understand him like normally you'd have a dossier that big on who you're facing as a winger or whatever You've watched him as well when you know like yeah So I get the impression somebody said to him listen his left foot's absolutely rubbish mate He's all right for it. So just keep him on his left like it's fine even if he comes inside Don't worry about it. He's left foot. He's left foot's rubber and he's coming inside and Tobung it was right It looks a player mate. It was lovely. Oh, they're selling for a million about Come in a give him a minimum fee release course of about a hundred million. Oh, yeah, yeah, because they got done on some annual You see that Morgan Rogers problem. That's how you finish oh Yeah, that's how you finish from an angle like that just open up and boom You won't smash it. You've got and just month it high Like that really good man. Where would you play Morgan Rogers Ringland? Because we've got a bit on air about the England wide attacking positions a potentially up for grabs Maddoeke Saka as a Gordon Fatt form has been yeah, even Foden went through it was flying and it's been a bit patchy since like who What oh what what's your kind of thinking around the wide positions? Assuming we're playing like Kane and two out. I think you've got such talent I think there's obviously going to be one or two probably three or four actually going to really miss out I think we'll play four two three one Obviously Kane's going to be a man up top I'm assuming belling him if he travels will be fighting for a ten but who I can't say how you can leave him out of the team. I know there's been a lot of stuff with it, but he is a proven talent and then You've got what four five six guys really three on each side who could play Rogers at the minutes in the form of his life So if you want somebody going into a tournament with momentum you want it, don't you obviously cold parma school is actually at the weekend And we saw him in the euros. He lit it up when he come on didn't it Bruno Fernandez giving him a little Little roundup then he on instagram saying now. Yeah, yeah, don't I honestly Don't know what he'll do. I honestly don't know what is though because soccer for me Because of his track record and he's had that tournament experience probably starts I'm letting the drop off. Yeah, I'll go with positions and players already being in there I think he likes to make sure everybody knows that if you're Garantied in that position because I feel soccer might be to be that's what I think I already told him listen. This is yours. So where does parma play that so part so for me I've got soccer medowake is the right side at the moment on the left side honestly in terms of form Maybe it's dipped off last week or so. I would have rash food Barnes and then you can always pay more grudge as out there. Yeah, yeah, because then you can just come in and drift and be one of the tense Cold parma is a is if he's fit. He's a definite. He's just if cold parma carries on this form between now and the end of the season It's all to do with this last month of the season. I think the last month of the season will take time so many the little questions We'll be answered in the last month of the season but if cold parma is on fire he has to be right up there But I agree with you. I think raster is probably in pole position at the moment I think we're going to do I think we're going to do the typical English thing of arguably the most Procoseous like ability players arguably Foden and parma I don't think either way playing there again. Yeah, yeah Well, foden probably doesn't deserve to at the moment to be honest with you It would interest him to listen to parmas interview after the game though saying all season he's never been Yeah, so I think like there's subtle messages and that that's probably going to go into Tushals mind as well because You can't not take him but he's not It could be phenomenal between now and the end of the season But he's not going to get to where he probably needs to get to but he's such an impactful player You've got to think seriously. He's got to be on that plane. Oh, yeah I'm playing even your local play anyways Oh my god Sorry, sorry You think you're so much. Yeah as a goalie it pissed me off so much because he literally runs up right and he looks at me And all he's doing is looking at me and he watches that corner there and he's watching and looking at me watching at me I put it there all right. How you haven't even looked at the ball you twat How not bad what you're can you mention how he bands toes isn't good cap that I've put a To be honest that he's had one hasn't he? I see what if he's on fire the friend non-compact So he's on fire between now and the end of season you have to say what look so what if he doesn't if he doesn't get picked for the march Games for England so he doesn't get called up And he gets called up into the Scotland squad at the AG's at with the talent in the England of God What would you do if you were him? What would you do if you were in what so if I don't get called up and I don't get called up by England in the match I think you have to be in the form of your probably careers today I think you have to go he's in a really tricky position because he almost needs to now go I want to play Scotland So they pick the thing is mate the talent that is up against is phenomenal And he's probably like he said in the form of his life And if you can't get a sniff now yeah Scotland do another World Cup It's a massive thing for him and his family to go and play in a World Cup If he can't get anywhere near England now go play Because the last international's Gordon was playing wasn't it yeah and it's been better than Gordon at Newcastle So you know process it is really interesting because I rate Gordon but I think it was last time we spoke about a couple of comments In on YouTube and people were saying we're Newcastle fans and Gordon really hasn't been all that No he hasn't been surprised mate and his stats have been great either goals and assists just Not quite there what they were team and not quite there I mean obviously you're being Newcastle But they give Eddie I will be a stick under the game And they just yeah I think it's been quite disrespectful to Brentford because I think they're top top brilliant I said about Arsenal going there Thursday night But if you're Newcastle you'd expect to be Brentford at home and that's not being I think Eddie has a bit of trouble with that I think he's in trouble yeah I think If he does not finish in the top eight I think he's going to go Yeah he wouldn't surprise I think Well the question is does the the the feels gone a little bit hasn't it? Yeah it's a massive full of you though The atmosphere is flat, it's a huge atmosphere and you don't get that at Newcastle They normally get you over the line in real tough place to go as an away team But I think I don't know how long he's been there now but they kind of get into the end of it And I think it's really sad especially what he did for them last year But you can't keep reliving on all that they're still a massive club Pay massive wages obviously probably got the wealthiest if not Very close to the wealthy soldiers and they're expecting more now Well they're not going to get a top four It's progress there after isn't it? It's probably they can't do what they did last season Winner cup finish where they're finished and then take three backward steps Gunlay No they can't they've lost three in a row in the Premier League now There's no manager in the Premier League that if they lose three in a row There's going to be questions The world that's the world we live in now isn't it? If you lose three in a row the big questions getting asked Especially when you're in what 12th position in the league as well This is recruitment and it comes down to him at the end of the day Because he's the one who surely signs it off I'm sure he's been there three years with this month or whatever But his recruitment has been so bad They've blown that e-sac money on V-SERNED of Ultimada for me V-SERV Ultimada, Alanga and Ranke The only good one has died a set of months ago The players aren't even regularly starting as well Alanga and Ramsey, not regular starting Even Ultimada hasn't really been in the team lately Just Bruno getting into any of the team Bruno Grammarish Does he start for every family meeting? No, he doesn't start for him But he's a player that would play for any of them He could play for anyone for sure Because he's a dog He probably hasn't got the legs to be at the top end He hasn't got that real turn of pace But other than that he's got everything up He's got the theatrics as well and he's like, "Oh wow, what is it?" Yeah, yeah But what I'm just saying is that if they don't get champions leading next year Which they're not going to do Let's be honest, what happens to them? So the real talent that they've got, they want to be playing At the top end of the league And they want to be playing in the Champions League And represent the countries at the big tournaments So all them players who are doing good work for them What happens to them? They're not going to want to stay there But how many really are there? So you've got Grammarish and Tanali Tanali and Janali and then play it together And we're doing some of that Top players Lewis Hall Lewis Hall Very very good left Lewis Hall Liver Mento I like Liver Mento, I like he's got I'd like Tino to get to the World Cup Yeah I would really love that for him He's a great guy and I think he's When he's been fit for Newcastle He's take them to another level He's got a few problems at right back You know what I mean? He's changed his fear if All my life As Andranals fear and good to go Well look we've got some talent to go to that World Cup this year And the manager It's a great position to be in but he's got some tough decisions to make How hard is it to manage that group though? Well I think it's easier I think it's easier to have 15 absolute ballers that could start Than not have them 30 Yeah 25 is a problem Because you're going to get Because when you're that close and you're that good And you're not playing it pisses you off But you'll have 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 then it'll be pissed off And that's not good to have around the best ball That's what we said about Drew Bellinger One that before You know if you know your role And you know that you're a guaranteed starter Or if you know you're a guaranteed non-starter But you might be coming on here in there That's just what you accept And you go into it in the region isn't there And that's where in the past they've had a Jordan Henderson And he's probably manages that group Perfect He's the guy that knows he's not going to start all the time But he's happy with that I'll just be the cheerleader I'll help everybody out I'll manage the group of lads that aren't there Even when the lads are going on Well not enough This is the day before game on The train is pretty start with the match for the… That's what they do, they do, they do What is post-post? You may well get in the squad for that Yeah, it could do, yeah, I think that's the best thing that I've seen in the game He's played Monday night football Fuzzy, do you want to talk about last week's predictions? Yeah. Fuzzy, as per usual, was absolutely bang on, to be honest with you. So that was Sunderland vs. Boney. Yeah, obviously it was a 3-0 win. I said 3-0 Tom tried to follow me because he knew that I was going to be right. And I bullied him off it. I manipulated him off it. And he went for a 4-0 instead. I stuck my 3-0 and boom, yeah, it was. It was 3-0, fair play Sunday. At least we all went home, weren't we? Yeah, we did all go home, I think I was the obvious part. Did you get extra points for getting the correct score? 3 points. Jack Potterly for a Pete Chancer, I get it. Yeah, 3 points. You used to play Fruit, you should have played in the same spot. Yeah, you got Jack Potter. You used to play that for a Pete Chancer, and flip, flip, flip. No. 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3. Yeah. Reset the JPM, JPM. Does it? So there is the Monday night football this week because there's a midweek full-fitched all the way. So we'll do a Premier League predictor, all the results. We're going to do a show on Thursday as well, aren't we? Yeah, there's the morning we're going to do a show as well. So we'll do it on Instagrams. We'll put it on Instagram, graphics, and then we can revisit it. So we did all of our full-game week predictions last week. We put them out on Friday and toes. You got seven out of 10. Yeah, I believe it. Seven out of 10, which was pretty good. I put the JPM out for doing draw for Arsenal again. Yeah, probably. That was a banker as well. That was an absolute gimmick. Give some of them some credit. Yeah, they had a couple chances. Yeah, they did, but still either way. Yeah, that was a pump through. You were lucky. Seven out of 10 is a good old return, mate. You were the winner this week. Well done, mate. I think I'm going to put an accumulator on from your best list next week. Mate, I do, I've started doing it five every week now. And again, it pays, but obviously not. But it pays like seven cranns. One of these weeks. One of these weeks. Oh gosh. This episode is brought to you by Expedia. One of the best things about being on holiday is that feeling of total freedom. No alarms, no meetings, no to-do lists. Just waking up and doing whatever you want. You know I like to ride my bike. And one of the best places to do that abroad is Mallorca. But when I'm on a family holiday, we like to stay in the south of the island, Palmer. And it's not fair on the family to be out riding my bike for hours on end. So what I like to do is rent a car, get up early doors, drive myself to the north part of the island where the hills are. Boom, job done. Expedia makes these spontaneous moments easier and more affordable with bundle and save.

And if you remember, you can book one part of your trip first, then add more right up until your last day of travel. It's never too late to save, but now with Expedia. So we talk about the Wolves Chelsea game. Yeah. By the way, Wolves now are officially out of the title race. No matter how many points they get between now and the end of the season, Wolves cannot win the Premier League. Well, apparently, Manu Knight will win it, so. Statistically, Wolves, sorry, they're done. They cannot win the Premier League anymore. That's that early. Yeah, I can't believe it. Well, you're a big Wolves one, mate. And I thought they did well in the game. But if you take them two moments of absolute stupidity, you've given them a game. I mean, how can you, like, Jalpetra was going nowhere for the first one? I mean, it's just-- He's literally running over there. But the second penalty, honestly, I've never seen not like it. Like, it's a proper two-o-e. So, man, he's not going to score a goal. He's not going to create nothing. And he's gone down, Jalpetra, and the guy, whoever his name is, that's correct. He's like, I ain't sure if they didn't. What? Yeah, honestly, my lad went to the game. He went to the game, and he came back. He's 16, so he's emotional about football. Referee was this, and I went, mate. I said, mate. He's seen. Have you seen that-- I mean, the second one. I've never seen a lot of him. He's two hands in the back, and he is just shoved in. When you're a defender and you're in that situation, you do give him a nudge. You give him a little nudge. It's probably like a fingertip one, rather than a full touch. You're touching him. You're giving him just that, because you want to just try and knock him off. Let them know you're there. It's enough for the lot to fall over. Just a knock him off before they hit the ball or whatever. But two hands is absolutely perimeter. Two-propos, Jalpetra, who could believe it. He's thought, I'm going to have to go down here. He's just shoved me in the back. I'm going to have to go down. Jal don't need a second in that. What's that one there? But if you're a wolf's run, like, yeah, I mean, the game will go on one, but it's just-- How good is Marne? We're taking credit away from Chelsea, by the way, but how good is Marne? Is he going to leave in the summer if they go relegated? Yeah. And do you know what? Actually, wolves don't really good business. So they've got rid of Shran Larsen for 45. He looked on real bad away from Palace yesterday. He looked at him. He on real bad away. You see, you take the weight of that gold shirt off top. I'm only like a new play. They had another gold shirt on yesterday. He's got really good. He got rid of John Arias for like 25. Honestly, Shran Larsen looked like a specimen yesterday. Six-foot-three. He's got a quick ranging, quick running with the ball. I'm like, oh, my God. What a player. This guy is-- What a sidebag in it. [LAUGHTER] What a sidebag in it. Yeah, but the problem made-- the problem was on Flames, as well, to be fair to him, mate. I'm not sure where Marne-- He looks really good, but it's early door. Well, it's not going to take a chance, yeah, but he's 1718. You got to take the right part for less six weeks. What do you think he's worth? It's hard to say now, isn't it? Well, realistically, now. He's probably worth 40 mil. But that's-- He isn't. That would kind of be a bit of a low-risk cost, though, at the minute. Probably would, yeah. Yeah, that's your way to the bottom. At a less fee, to say like a 25 million, you go right, stay on loan at the wall. Yeah, that's a great show. Go ahead and get promoted. Yeah, but it's whatever he wants to do with that, though. That sounds great, but sometimes if a player's getting bought by a top six, top 18, they go, and in a minute, no, I've had a taste of the Premier League. I ain't trying to play in the championship, by the way. I want to go and do a bit-- I want to step up a level with better players and show you what I can do in the Premier League as well. But full season in the championship, getting promoted. Yeah, great. I think that adds a lot more roundness to your game. So you get a more cheaper fee because you're giving them back on loan. It was-- I was giving one of my mates a cough fan. And so I was giving them a bit of shit at the weekend, and he was like, hey, hang on a second. What about walls? And I actually-- I didn't even realise I was like, mate, I've made my peace with this situation. Oh, yeah. I'm a lot of time. Everybody said all they need to have-- I'll tell you, I'm going to keep coming for walls, all right? The commentary, I've not made peace with this situation. I'm talking about a very funny-- Wow. Apple Grumble. Wow. A few disappoint results that we're getting. Because I like Cove. I want to see Cove do all right. And I want to see him having the Premier League. Rex Umbluse and as well. Baggies drew no no. It's actually probably a bit of a good result for them to be fair. A stoker, a better team than West Bromant at the minute. So we'll take that. But, mate, honestly, I'm out broken for Baggies at the minute. Hey, the Baggies are up Birmingham tomorrow night. Yeah, and that big game for the Baggies tomorrow. I might even go to that tomorrow. I might even go to that. Bet you don't. Trying to inspire. Who do you want to inspire? Birmingham, or West Bromant. He's done that. Yeah, he's going to be trying to save. Like, you've got-- He's going to get his wife. He's going to get his wife. Hey, Rossini, a four wins in a row though. Oh, yeah. Ryan, mate. He is. He's going to be judged on his results at the end of the day. The game's definitely winnable coming up. Hey, he's going to be judged on his results. It's as simple as that. He keeps winning. He's nothing you can say about it. Who finished his high-end match? I have to see you tonight. You know, I'd like to see Rossini's stats compared to Grand Potter's when Grand Potter first winning because everyone was saying that he's really started. But it's always a thing at Chelsea. They've got phenomenal talent on that. You would think somebody can always manage a group of players on that. But in the end, the group becomes too big, and then it'll all crumble again. Well, I like the old them. He's been a person. I like Steve, though. Have you seen them? He's in that club. That's the valve. Oh, my god. How's the other guy doing? Staying on the relegation-- What's the fight now? Staying on the relegation theme before, honestly, this is-- it'll be an horrible little battle to be in at the minute. It really will be an horrible little battle. Westdam still favourites to get relegated, by the way. Still favourites. They're like-- They're on the level one. They've won. They've turned it round. Imagine they wouldn't have won the game. They would have been done already. They're cut adrift with Burnley. They would be. But they're turning it round now. Forrest are going to be looking over their shoulders nervous. It's Nuno going to come back in a major way for Marinacus. Probably. Probably. You can see it, man. I can see it. The way that it's going at the minute, it'll be a bit too hit and miss. It's like the football gods in the-- Yeah, football gods. You can kiss it. I sniff it. I thought Forrest were going to be well clear. I did, too. They went down a wimper against Leedsub. Honestly, it was a wimper. I went Leedsub and Wim, but I was surprised how comfortable it was for-- Is it trouble or is it trouble or dush? So 29 points, right? Leeds and Tottenham won 29 points, and you would expect Leeds to still be in a bit of a relegation fight, right? Why aren't we talking about Tottenham being a winner? Have you seen their fixtures from the last three months? The next one's a brutal. Who's Tottenham's? That's it, all means. Honestly, they are tough. Right in it, they are. They are right in it. Without the captain for the next four games as well. Sure. So if you look at Newcastle, home, Arsenal, home, Fulhamal Way is always tough, palliars are a weird one, and then you've got Liverpool way. When you're spurs, you're looking at them fixtures, and they are a massive problem. When you're in the relegation zone, every game you play against-- Yeah, every team you play against, you're looking at them thinking, well, they're actually decent at home, and they've won in their last game. And he's on fire now, so we're just going to lose. And they've got no remere over for again. Do you think it is relegation battle from spurs down? I think they're like 10 to 1 or something. I think spurs are like 10 to 1 to get relegated. So you're probably not going to be in it, but I don't think that 10 to 1 is representative of actually how it is. I really don't. I really don't. I think that can change week by week. If they lose their next couple of matches, they'll be down there at 4 or 5 to 1. If Westham weren't on the form there on, you'd kind of suggest, obviously, that they would be down. But with the gap as it is, with them playing how they are, you'd think it's definitely-- It's definitely not going on. I mean, I would still suggest it's probably between Westham and Forest leads, obviously, that were a huge win on Friday. But they're not clear enough to think it's gone. And look, how we're doing this again, saying Tottenham, second season in a row. in that position is criminal. And obviously last year, and rescued it, we were winning the cup, didn't it? But got them in the Champions League. There's no, I don't think there's any silver lining issue. - I can't just like you said about the recruitment at Newcastle, and you look at Spurs, and you'd have to question it. 'Cause they've spent a lot of money, haven't they, toes? - Yeah. - And second season in a row, that's not look that they're down there. Second season, they've got no leaders, they've got no fighters, ones that can really step up. It's all right, having some defenders to do with that way in client. But you've got to have it throughout the spine of the team. You need defenders. Sorry, you need midfielders, and forward players and wide players that are really ready to mix in and be strong and physical. They just haven't got any of them. They really haven't got any of them. - And the site Gallagher, I thought, would be. - Yeah, and he looked all right to be fair. - Yeah. - Like in the game against United, he looked all right. He looked right, he looked right, - I wasn't trying to play enough of him around. - Yeah, I agree. - But Bernier completely done by the way. They were playing, you know, when Scott Parker does his, like post-match interviews and stuff like that. - The streets. - And he's just going to play the streets music. - Right, like dry your eyes, right? - And it's so good. - It fits perfectly. Every single match where he gets fits perfectly for him. - Yeah, you know, we didn't defend properly today and we've got to look at that. And just the music's playing, it's so good. - It's not some of it, though. - What a run, he's up. - Oh my God. - He looked so much. - Absolutely player, it's only 24. - Whoever put the ball in for the second goal by the way. - What a ball. - What a ball. - Absolutely, that is perfect. Running onto it, you don't get a break-stried. You just get your four in it and nut it down there. Skids off the wet surface, beautiful. Ariola, benched. - Benched, yeah. - You kind of, you said something last week that you thought something like this would happen, didn't you? - Yeah, I thought they had to change, didn't they? - A man's, we obviously don't have podcasts with him. - Yeah, we did, yeah. - Nice guy, but he actually played well. - He actually looked solid, didn't he, mate? - He looked really nice and calm and controlled, didn't he? - But he needed to because when he got in at the start of the season, he looked all deeterly, too much for him. But, no, I really think West Ham have got the momentum. Forrest will be very, very wary of what's in front of them. Because I just think when you steer the football gods like we touched on, and Marinacchi and Nuno, like you just know there's a story there. - Oh, there is. - There's a story there. So, yeah, I think Dyshe is gonna have to do what Dyshe normally does. But the longer it goes while it's so tight, the Forrest need to get two or three wins quick. - I've never played to him. - No, I think they've done it. - No, they've done it. - Oh, okay. - I ask you the old, the old union about the burnt Leno own goal. What do we make of this? And are we getting to a stage now where the penalty box is becoming too much like a scrum? - No, that's perfect. If you stick it in there, you're not fouling anybody, and you're just holding your ground and being solid, and it's fair play, isn't it? You've got to be stronger, and you've got to take a better start in position, you've got to be really dynamic with your move and come through and get a touch on it. And if you don't, and teams are better at holding and blocking you off, then it's where it goes, isn't it? Simple as that. - Yeah, look, full of settle, as I used to do it, if there's one on the goalie, the goalie's got to deal with it, and then try and cover your other bases for Leno, he accepted his fate before the ball kicks. He got tight with him, he's wrestling with him. He didn't try and shove to create space, and then the ball's in there, and he's done it. It was really cool. - So, with these recruitment departments now, based on this season, what are you? These recruitment departments are looking at the goalkeeper in position now, and as the conversation changed a bit from, they've got to be able to play out, they've got to be able to play out too. We need a big fucker. - A physical goalie. - That can manage his pantherically. - I think they're saying, now, we need some physicality, because I think the one thing that's the toughest for a goalie is the quality of the balls you face from a set piece, or an open play. We just talked about the cross for the West Amgol, for a goalie to deal with these actions and affect it is very, very tough. But if you've not got the physical profile, and Leno's still a big guy, but he hasn't got the mentality to deal with it and create some space for himself, you can't have a laryse type goalie in the Premier League. The quality is far too, and O'Rea is the one exception to that, and he's dominant on cross as he wants to be aggressive. - David, do you know why he's dominant, though, because he's brave. - You've got to be brave, too. - He's a brave guy, right? - So he does things late and fast. - Exactly, but he knows where he's going. He's got a plan, right? If you let yourself get boxed in, like Leno did for the goal, right? You're done. I promise you, you're done. They'll just walk the goal, they're balling, they're walking, they're putting it into a little area, and then everybody's just getting and walking into it. - Like every team will be doing the same. - Ray, Ray knows Ray is going, and he might look like he's there, but he makes a last minute movement, a last quick movement, brave movement as well, that if the ball goes over the back of the top of him, he might be in trouble, but you have to make some sort of a decision, you do. But like you thought was the same ball, and it's Ray, he's giving him a nudge of contact comes and then he's going to get around the front of him and get a contact whether it's all left and, but that is not very often you talk about Leno, is there? - No, mate, he's such a solid goalie. - He's the same, like a henderson. - Here watch this and he'll know that he's been done, and it's something that he can prove on a note for the future, but I love Leno, I think he's such a solid goal. - Without looking, where are Everton and the league? - Oh, they're doing all right. Their sneaky winners is what they are. They'll be eight-heard, yeah, I'll think eighth. Their sneaky winners ever tonight, you know? - Well, they are so good. They don't really draw too many games, they just win. They'll go away and win and win and win. Eight, ah, most press conference, what amazing, won it. I don't even know how he's been at the state, we are laughing. He said, "I can't come here and say we fight in relegation." I'm like, "What mate? "Just be positive about Everton." And so, look, we're going to try and get in Europe, we're going to try and get in that top 10. - 37 points after 25 games for an Everton type team, is it only on the league? - After last season, he's been the sign in the season. - Can and juice be all. - I've been to the weekend, Jamie's been as well. 13 points. - 13 points, I'm outbroken. - He is the sign in the season. - It's not been bad, Dominic Carver, Lewin. - Yeah. - If you take him out of that lead team, leads would be in the bottom three. - When it's Jacque Sunderland sign in the season, if you're up there to be fair. - Yeah, as you're up in Mendes, zoomies got to be up there as well. - I do. - Where and where, Mo? - Gigi Donorumma's got to be up there as well. - Oh, I'm absolutely. - It buttons for him. - If City win it, the whole goalkeeping ethos and philosophy has changed. - Yeah. - You just talk to it on it recruitment. That now is, if City win it, well look, they're going to be close and he might get them off the line, but if they win it, that's now every, - In the summer, everybody's goalkeeping priority changes and what they look for. - It goes for goalkeepers. - It goes, it changes. - I've got a little comment on saying. - Got to answer the lead. - Proper old goalkeepers will look at it. - What do you make of them? - What do you make of the Brighton fans booing at full time? - Wait, they're, you know what, I feel for Brighton, 'cause they've had a few really unfortunate results where they're just lost by the old goalers. - A lot of goals. - A lot of goals, a lot of draws. And they're just not seeming to quite get over the line. - But booing, is that the right thing to be doing? - No, I don't think it's right. I don't think it's right. 'Cause if they sack him hurts, they're gonna be, - They ain't sack him in, they're not sack him in, - Somebody would snap him up like that. - They don't do sack him. - No, they don't, but they would, he would get snapped up like that, right? And I feel from a little bit, 'cause they're a very good team and they can be anybody on their day, but they're just going for a really sticky pact. - They're just like kind of now in the sort of shadows of like a Bournemouth. - Yeah. - The Bournemouth have overtaken them a little bit. - They're about the same. - They're about recruiting a player and selling them on. Like Brighton have done that really well over the years, haven't they? But I'm just trying to think of the last one they did, apart from the car say, though. - Who Brighton? - Yeah. Because like Bournemouth are doing it now, aren't they? They're producing and selling. - Yeah. - Exciting players. - They're bright and 14, 31 points in their life. - They're safe, they're safe. - They're going to get seven or eight points. - Yeah, minimum, huh, they said that. - If you're a Brighton fan, you're going to be very careful with Bournemouth. - Yeah, but you're waiting for it. - Yeah, yeah. - Because like the team and the club have been run properly. You've got good players. You've got an excellent manager. And I know that we think that because the club's run properly, there's probably a conveyor belt and they already know who they'd probably try and target as the next manager. But like somebody of his ill and really what they've done, they're just disappointed that they've got beat a home off palace. And like you said, the throne points away, but like they're a very, very good football team, aren't they? - And he's a good manager. - That'll be as well. It's the M99 diabetes, aren't it? - They're the three B's in their own league. - Brentford Bournemouth, Brighton. - They're like their own little league. - Yeah, they are. - Against each other. - Yeah, I know you mean. - You think like that. - That's where they take the same ill team out. - Yeah. - They're very similar structures. Everything is done. - So like if they're bottom and then three, they're the ones that are like Panicking, like that, you know, we should be doing as well as Brentford. - We were better than them. - We were better than Bournemouth. - Keith Andrews, about the Europe. - About Europe. - About Europe. - I'll always come for us. - Yeah, I'll be going in the summer on my home. - Yeah, yeah. - I'll get a load of this. He took about FPL. I DCL as my third sub. And he got in. - How? - I got lucky. - Three subs. - Yeah, I knew. - I had, no. The two before didn't. And then someone didn't play. And my third sub got in. - Absolutely. - It's your own football family. - Well, that league like that. - I don't know. - I tried to do it in the bench. - It was the league. What is the league? - Scottie's smashing us all. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Scottie's not easy. - Yeah. - I don't look at that league. He's not even knowing it. - And that is Scottie's smashing. - I look at Ali. What you want about? I'm like topping Ali. - That's the one I look at. - What? - You look at the one that you're top on. - Look at Ali. - You're really separately without Scottie in it. - Yeah, what's that? - Well, my team is my team. I've got points. And that's it. - I can't cheat already. - But you've made like separately. - Yeah, he's got two teams as well. - No, the cycling GK fantastically. Like it's always been. - No, no, no, no. - CGK team. - Scottie. - What's he on? - 14, 49. - Yeah. - Oh, he is, yeah. - 14, 49. And where I'm on 14, 02, I'm 14, I'm afraid. - Scottie's smashing us. - I need this, though. You know what? I like being backed into the corner. Yeah. I'm like a lion. I see it in front of me. And then it gives me so much of chases. Like me on the bike when I go out of the hill. And I see that little target. it and I go, boom, you're mine. Let me just put some more power in there, alright? Got you. You're in there now, yeah? No, I thought I'd done one of those. You're in the back. Don't feel like Darstle and Blowit, Scotty, right? We're doing a quiz. Do you want a bet?
