Welcome in then to the latest edition of extra time Shaka hot with us here in the studio Yan is here Jules as well a lot of reflection of course as there always is at the end of the year and that is certainly reflected in our questions here today favorite footballing moment of

2023 oh wow that’s a big one Goodness Me jws I would go for uh the semi-final second leg of the Champions League in Milan between inter and and AC Milan I’ve never been to Sano for either Milan or inter I’ve been there for when France

Played Italy so it was my first time and I just I just could not and had been warned before people have said you will see this is this is something else but but I was still Blown Away by The Atmosphere by the inter Ultras to to

Start with on it was the home game so there were obviously more of them but there was still 8,000 of Milan on the other kurva on the other side behind the other goal and they were so noisy I mean the stadium is an old stadium of course it was literally shaking I

Promise you and when lautaro scored and had that celebration in front of the ultra it was just the whole night was just incredible now if you are a football fan and you on your bucket list you you want to come to Europe or go to a European Stadium there’s loads who are

Great but s really is a special special place especially for d thank you very much gab um meanwhile Yan yeah I I could have said S sanser I went there when Milan played salsburg I agree with Jules great description but I have to say and I know that you will say

I go Holland again but I I know a guy called Alfie Holland I played with him I played with him since he was a young kid standing with him at ety had when this son of his winning the Premier League doing the celebration doing all the

Interviews I think that was that was for me personally the greatest moment that I was a part of yeah mine was said my son went to the final the esto final and did Big Manchester City fan so that’s got to be my favorite footballing moment because he see him happy sh oh because

You’re so selfless D exactly exactly and he had a good shirt Dan your son had a good shirt he did have a good shirt because a good friend of mine got him assigned earling har oh what a lovely man self he’s he’s going to keep that in

His back pocket for a while that’s going to go in the butt one day you know who who’s picking up the dinner tab anytime sh I’m concerned because you don’t really remember what has happened yesterday let alone in the calendar year um but I’m as you you know I’m

Caribbean football through and through and we don’t we don’t have a I sit here and criticize a lot and complain a lot but this Sumer we we spoke about the Women’s World Cup how fantastic a tournament that that was Jamaica women found themselves in a group alongside France and Argentina and progressively

Knockout stages and I thought um I I I thought witnessing that W witnessing a Caribbean team in a group that strong to have that kind of success um I I it was it was it was Pride filling I I I I really enjoyed and it meant a lot to to

Football in the region as as good as this tournament was for women’s football I think the Jamaican women flew the flag for the game regardless of gender um in in certainly in the Caribbean islands what was the game of the year oh my you should have been prepped for these lot

Dear me right what was the game of the year yeah yanan’s face says it all Jules as well CH I can’t remember anything I could well Liverpool beat Manchester United 70 that was the game of the year for you yes that was the game of the year because you don’t like Manchester United

Um because I I can’t remember much else oh that’s fair enough you take that julge your memory is good yeah it’s good it’s it’s hard to be fair I think they were a few and the Liverpool United that that Shaka pick is one of them for me the City win against

Real Madrid in the second leg at the hard in the Champions League semi-final was just it was just something else really that I never seen Real Madrid of my boy Karim the dream being so not dominating doesn’t even make a Justice to how good City where

Especially in the first half it was just wave after wave after it was the best half I’ve seen live in a stadium of football in a very long time if not ever so for me that City Real Madrid second leg of the Champions League was was the

Game of the season of the year what about you what about you y yeah I if you see that question doesn’t have to be a positive one so it’s just be the game of the year that I I do remember very decisive and I I will go Scotland

Playing here in Norway in Oslo that was a decider for us we were one nil up and then for some reason our national coach thought it was a good idea to take alen Holland off and Scotland turned it around winning 2-1 I worked for Scottish TV on that game uh coming Steve Clark

Coming over the national coach of Scotland I say hope please were you and they took Elling off and he said one thing and his face said something else you know very diplomatic but I I will remember that game because it was so decisive for us now going into the Euros

When every country in Europe is taking part except the Vatican and Norway so that is my game of the year oh man who wins this year’s Infamous Muppet of the Year award oh oh oh I don’t know yeah well that’s just your standard answer Jo so I thought hard about this one and

I think again there’s a few contenders and it doesn’t have to be too negative because meet sounds a little bit but but I think Jose morinho for me what what year 2023 I mean he lost the European final of course but all the sending off the winging the complaining

The I mean and and Mourinho is great at times the punch lines we love it we love interviewing him he’s really really good at times but when he’s bad he’s really bad and I think in 2023 especially I think he was bad and now Roma uh eigh in

The table he’s almost begging for the club to give him a new deal because he’s current expires at the end of the season and I don’t think he will be there next season I don’t think where I don’t know where he will go but yeah 2023 I felt it

Was a little bit too much of the bad Jose Mourinho compared to the good Jose Mourinho uh Yan Muppet of the Year for me Muppet is uh for me the two on the balcony so the the main candidates will be Steven Nel and Craig Bur but I won’t

Go there yeah yeah every year they are the MU of the Season no I won’t go there I will I will go to the Khan family uh the Oliver Khan family uh I reported that Oliver Khan will be fired uh and they made a big big story in Germany and

Obviously they had a go with me the whole family including his brother that a that will never happen and when it then was fired that was made a big interview that me and lto Matos yes I can name drop that is good for me good

For me me and L uh will would we we ruined the career of Oliver Khan so for me the brother olivan is a muppet of the Year brilliant I love that theyve been gathering around for Christmas having to go a Yan goody cards no cards did they ever

Get in contact with you no no no no they they didn’t dare to do that look how strong I am I had no chance yes exactly throw a fish in their face uh nice me have you got a muppet yeah go on Todd byy

Oh nice it was one it was on my list as well Shak that that that don’t need that doesn’t need much explanation okay now what was your favorite non soccer sporting moment of the year you’re winning the Ridder cup that’s got to be good that’s got to be up there I’m

Thinking Athletics so there’s only one race that really mattered what what race was that featuring one of one of our panelists was that year well that was this year was that this year was January yeah yeah yeah janary oh that was that filled so many of my days with laughter there you go

Perfect uh here it comes then as a special FES we go back to January and Yan in this charity race he fall started and everything yeah and now look at the fish H this of course we’ done a number of times still Shack it’s at the end where you really

Did think is he going to get caught right now everybody’s going come on fish come on fish come on fish you got him fish oh god oh yes oh goodness me beautiful there you go ah jeez okay your favorite non soccer sporting moment of the Year Jules

So I think I stayed up pretty much all night to watch LeBron James beat Kim Abdul jabal uh most points scored ever in the NBA I think that was very special in back in February for the Lakers against OKC and in the same way as you know I

Much I love my NBA to see Nikolai yic and the den the Nugget win the first NBA title was very special and yic very much a genius of his own certainly in terms of basketball because he also sees it just as a job which is something I quite

Like I think y kid is a is a very special player so that was a very special moment what do you prefer NBA or soccer jwes no still I’m still a football soccer guy but the NBA is very close it’s my I love it and there’s something

Nice when the whole house is quiet everybody’s asleep and you stay up and you watch a game an NBA game at 1:00 a.m. 2: a.m. for us here in in London and then next month I go to Paris for a proper NBA game in my in my hometown you

Know so it’s it’s really cool now I love I love the NBA very good for jul and Yan all right I forgot calm down I will say that because I’m not a big goal fan but I see a great athlet when I see one Victor H Victor H not only not only a

Great player but also a fantastic Ambassador for Norway for himself for his family for his sport I’m just a pleasant guy to watch he’s a fantastic ambassador winning some key tournaments this 2023 so he’s mine thank you for let me say that who who’s richer him or ering Harland

Jan they will both be behind me of course but I think in times times will tell I oh that is a good question I’m not sure I haven’t asked them can I see your bank account please thank you very much how are you Jules and Yan now Jules has already

Mentioned this that horrible game at sanero what was your favorite game you live in the stadium while doing your press work this calendar year Yan well Archie had to go to a uh a wedding in Greece a Big Fat Greek Wedding so we had

To go there so I I went for ESPN doing Bayern Munich against lusen first of all it was a fantastic football game that was great but also the way we we did that show uh we got all the big names TL Kane Alonso bonface they all came to us

Everything worked so good everything was live it was a fantastic football game between the Challenger levero against Bayer Munich it was just just uh entertaining and it was a pleasant time to be in Munich working for ESPN what’s that got to do with a Greek Wedding because Archie couldn’t do it

Archie have you heard about Archie your colleague he had to go to Greece for a wedding I missed the Archie bit go sorry sorry there we go there you are oh good Jules don’t take sanso again have a game with some [Laughter] Golds oh he’s not listening

Jeles no no what did you sorry I didn’t know if you were talking to me sorry what did you say yes yes don’t say Sad zero say something more interesting yeah so no I’ve got another one to be fair because Yan mentioned when he when he was earling winning the

The Premier League to be fair the Champions League final was not the greatest of finals I give you that but it’s always special when you can be at the stadium to watch a Champions League final and to cover it and to be there to see City winning finally the Champions

League to see pep guarda and what he meant to him and to all the fans was very good and you you we are so lucky Yan and I especially to go to a lot of games uh so we should never really never forget how lucky and privileged we are

To be able to see live those moments in a stadium where millions of people are just watching on television so for me of all the year I said Santio was great the the CT Real Madrid was amazing too but the Champion League final because it’s the Champion League final was also very

Very special and amazing were you youning man no I was thinking what we thinking the one game you went to live let’s not mention that yeah let’s move on from that game you’re not allowed to go to G anymore that’s it oh boy um as an engineer is
