Is the kind of moment at a club of that size which really kind of galvanizes and a player and then and starts to set a reputation you know here we are at the transmission party everybody Welcome to the Football Ramble preview show a bar burner at mullu and Arsenal host

Liverpool this Sunday it’s Friday the second fair by Marcus spella I’m Luke Moore I’m Jim Campbell and I’m P Donaldson shiver me timbers it is Friday oh what a result that is l Mr worldwide no you jumping the gun always yes that’s true not only is it Friday yes it’s

Beautiful British classic Marcus bang is a mash like a Bentley he’s like bang is a mash in a Bentley a fight in a bus Shel SS are rusted oh dear oh before we talk about that bar burner at Wolf hampt wanders last night a reminder to catch up on the

Latest ramble reacts where that guy Peter and that guy Luke talked about goalposts made of wats it mhm Darwin Nunes on stage at Ronny Scots I did appreciate that by the way um and whether they would replace their dads with chips you also covered Liverpool uh

Beating Chelsea as well in a way um so do listen to that hit subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode I thought it was a vintage episode Vint the great thing about doing ones with Pete is I haven’t really got to prepare because I can’t prepare because he’s going to

Catch me out in some way I’ve not thought of no yeah perhaps more of a Vinted episode in that uh I want to sell him yeah it was just it was cut price stuff clean clean me up and sell me on

Lot of f we on the app I I I uh I turned up to the sh today with some football boots that I turned up to 11 as side uh at at the weekend I’d bought the two sizes to small version of the shoes um so little tip say the version you mean

You bought them two sizes bought them two sizes too small smaller version who says that about Sho airo size I need he walks back into the shop I appear to have purchased a smaller version can I have a for all the Sim City version um well um yes why did you

Did you want what’s your plan how you going to sort this just saying that um usual uh professional footballers don’t turn up to matches uh with shoes too sizes too small you’d hope not you also drove the boots here cuz in hope there would be tape in the

Studio it’s just been on my mind all week and I’m like if I don’t do it now I’m not going to do it I’m not going to send them back to Adidas no yeah take these Predators back from one Predator to another take these back they

Are oh yeah good very good dear me wolam to three Manchester United four speaking of predators front a goal what a match absolute battle wasn’t it it was just I mean it was Susan perb for the narrative that Marcus rash SC after five minutes yeah because everyone was talking about

Him you know um basically essentially every single pre-match um interview now of Eric tenh involves him dismissing or brushing under the carpet kind of quote unquote internal matter and then rashford goes and does that about five minutes after Rio Ferdinand criticized him for not looking like he enjoys plan

For M anymore by showing old footage of him scoring his first goal for United and being quite pleased about it it was very bizar yeah it was a very very strange against meland was it that game was early on but yeah like he goes into the crowd and gets celebrated crowd yeah

And but hean he scored a lovely one there the perfect way to silence some of those critics and even his manager you’re going to drop me now yeah yeah uh but I an amazing start Manchester United looked very very good in that first half you have to say like it wolves weren’t

In it at all Manchester United dominated the game and obviously they did win the game but they dominated at the start didn’t they yeah yeah that’s what I mean yeah in that first half they they they were very very good they also looked like they were enjoying it for the first

Time in a while one one of one of the highlights of the whole thing for me was Rasmus hland celebrating his goal like underneath Craig dorson dawon’s just laying on top of him go a [ __ ] hell Bon dawon D I very much enjoyed um uh Luke Shaw no mcom sorry

Mom’s um knee slide yeah he gets real um height before he goes into it is absolutely perfect let me say something here right you might not picked up on this Pete is obsessed with the great execution of of those kind of things AR you because when you were a kid you

Tried to do a Clans you broke your elbow yeah exactly and secondly you really appre appreciate the distance and the height in involved in the KNE slide celebration just something else like it was like um it like a wrestling move it was amazing you were the kid at

Weddings he was he is the kid at weddings wasn’t invited to wedding well you left mine too early before started is he had too much pop that’s what people say but I was just going to say on on the game itself just to pick up on what you said you the kind

Of Top Line will be that you know wolves battled their way back into it and then lost in the last minute which obviously did happen but really another story to that is just that they started so slowly and so poorly that it enabled May to really grow in confidence I found and I

Found that really strange because wolves have have been in good form you know they’re at home um they haven’t lost for a we while going into this game and I was astonished given that United are essentially crisis Club just lunging from one Cris to the next even if

They’ve not been even if your opinion is they’ve not been that bad on the pitch or whatever there’s a huge amount of press about how chaotic it all is and I was surprised that gag didn’t say to them get after them early get on your

Get the foot on the ball and and and hit them with some decent Tempo get the crowd up and we can do something here they were so flat for the first 25 30 minutes usually do against you know arguably better obviously not League table but but um better opposition you

Would say that that wolves usually come out and really take the game to them but they just didn’t did they well they they couldn’t get anywhere near it well sometimes they play counter attacking against big SES but I I see that’s how I would look at that l i look at it as

Manchester United flew out the traps and and didn’t let Wolves play and I think that could have caught wolves by surprise because of all the reasons you’ve just said you know these wolves players will will be aware of that but with you know rashford scoring early on

And then and then holand not that long after and they also had a lot of chances maner it’s part of the conundrum of fan United isn’t you look at those players and like you know position for position man for man think yeah they’re pretty good but for some reason it doesn’t

Quite gel the first half was was a great example of it jelling and the second half is a great example examp of where there is something in there that just leaves them really really vulnerable at times but they still won the game we we can’t and and also as well you know

Wolves with with a sort of um you know three uh well of two latish goals um as as well I thought wolves always looked vulnerable as as it proved to be so it became a bit of a ding-dong in in the second half in a way that Manchester

United their game management was was just not up there you know the two up you know wolves don’t score until the 71st minute I mean it’s it’s um only the sixth game in premier league history to see five goals scored in the final 20 minutes although you know two of them

Deep into injury time the kind of injury time that you didn’t get back in the day um but the Manchester United game management as I say two- n up probably should have been three you know they’re going to get chances and there was I mean when Manchester United 3–2 up and

Netto you know the Breakaway and score it’s deep into injury time manag out of corner they commit loads of bodies forward cuz wolves catch them on the break it was almost as if Manchester United were a goal there the the game management at that point seemed like it

Was really poor as a neutral more please I think even though they went on to win it that is really poor you know they gave themselves a situation to to climb out of it was about 30 seconds after they brought John Heavens on as well I know I think for gacho for an

Attacking play it was you can see gacho was a bit pissed off because he knew there was maybe something left in there for him and in the attacking players it was a funny old thing mind you though Eric tenh har did say in the lead up to

The game that his players need to manage themselves so perhaps do himself out of a job guys right I’ve tried everything else have you thought about just turning into something lord of the FES type scenario where there is no Authority so who man if you not want to listen to me

Maybe listen to someone just listen to someone I want to know that you can or a couple of the players just look up and go sorry who are you Bruno Fernand going I’ll take it from here then you know um yeah the first half second it was very

Very different but my goodness that second half particularly the end was was something else and and we’ve talked talked about this game for for long enough without mentioning kobby Mayu yeah because thaty we know he’s a good player he’s only 18 he’s very young the goal though Pete Donlon it was a beauty

What did you ever do at 18 that was as good as that sliding around your knees weren’t you the the there’s a bit where he kind of puts the ball through a player’s legs it was gorgeous which was gorgeous and it’s that kind of like nutmeg in the modern game where you’re

Like did they even mean that cuz it so smooth um I thought they defending was inous they just got themselves an equalizer I mean I I yeah they were they were obviously knacked they were they were I I think I think I think wolves um

At the back were Absol Gomez and and um duck and stuff they were just making mistakes all over they weren’t great in possession they were just really really poor um and and even out of possession as well with with the goal itself but yeah what what a finish and what an end

To a game it was really really good stuff I mean that the way he took that goal was stunning we we’d expect well expect is the wrong if Jude Bellingham did that obvious another young player as well you’d think yeah we see him producing these moments time and time

Again what I love about um the modern players if you like and really in this country because I suppose you would argue that maybe players on the continent have been doing this for a while but he really plays as a more he’s seen more sort of as a defensive

Midfielder I suppose yeah uh you know playing in front of the back for that kind of thing perhaps he’ll he’ll play elsewhere or maybe be used elsewhere as well but that’s I think at the moment that’s kind of what we’ve been seeing and and and certainly been told again an

8 a player years ago from this country wouldn’t who playing in that position probably wouldn’t really be capable of that probably wouldn’t think of doing that but the levels of of of skill the levels of of finess and ball control and and and all the rest they just all come

Through academies or that indeed but that’s that’s what I mean it’s it’s an example of of a much more complete footballer but it was a beautiful guy and he’s a great talent oh it’s fantastic and this this is the that is the kind of moment at a club Club of

That size which really kind of galvanizes and a player and and starts to set a reputation you know you there’s players come through into the team and for a while if you’re not watching that team particularly closely like you’re not a fan of the club or whatever you

Don’t actually notice how many appearan they got you’ll start to notice a play and you go oh he’s played five or six times in the league cup or whatever and he’s kind of coming through that kind of moment is unignorable and if he kicks on from there given the talent he’s got he

Could be a really important player for them I think a lot of the talk going into the game was about Tommy Doyle and and the fact of whether they’re going to make his move permanent in January or not um from Man City to wolves for a cut price fee

Given the quality of given his quality but actually in in the Midfield area was it was M who took all the headlines you know and that’s that’s how football can go sometimes it an amazing goal what what did you think of the um penalty decision by the way because I actually

Thought that was a penalty but everyone seemed to be in disagreement with me I think there’s a big appetite for finding these kind of um decisions problematic but yeah I was the same you kicked him on the shin I mean exaggerated contact of stuff but there’s no way var’s ever

Going to overturn that because it doesn’t meet the threshold I I didn’t think VAR would overturn it but it exaggerated contact is a sort of different conversation though isn’t it but um I think that was a good example of it he’s gone gone gone there looking for it and got it

But but the level of contact does matter because you know we had this when calv lean was sent off at Crystal Palace and I was kind of understanding of it and that got reversed people say yeah but he never went in that hard you know and and

So on and I was proved to be wrong cuz you know it was was a [ __ ] glorious moment in my well I mean I I had sympathy you know and where are we without sympathy quite frankly so morally you were right spot on if you think so um but that’s for others to

Say I couldn’t possibly but there was there was talk at the start there was talk at the start of this season I believe about the idea of consequential contact and all that kind of stuff very very diff very very complicated he’s kic the GU in the shin and he’s gone down

And really I mean that’s that’s all it is right I don’t understand why people were sharping arms about it Pete just wrote that just in case he needs to say that consequential contact consequential contact when he send his football boooks back yes I’ve warned them but there wasn’t any consequential contact nothing

I do on the football going forward any oh dear h i mean the funny thing is with this wi for Manchester United is you you think you know what that little thought in the back of your mind is is this a platform to no shut up well actually part of the

Reason that we think that though is because if you are going to sort of drag yourself out the doldrums uh so certainly long-term doldrums as man united found themselves in what you need is a kind of core of of homegrown players right and he looks like someone

Who is going to provide a platform for a long time and give them some identity have we not seen these players before though we kind I marus rashford is a great example of that don’t forget mamari forson came on and got an assist as well another young player so I would

Say that it’s it’s great for Man United fans who have been watching some pretty tured stuff this season where you’ve got 10 minutes on and the rest of the match off I think it’s just a nice moment for them to sort this is what the season ticket’s all about that’s a good point

Because um 5,000 season ticket well they’re away from home won’t they so they would all right yeah well you need your points to get your aare access don’t true actually true actually come on um I was just going to say that um in the League this season my I just don’t

Really score and um kind of be a nice little H because they have had like some really Wild results in the Champions League this season right um but they haven’t really had that to result in the Premier League that I can think of so well we enjoyed it well I mean

Absolutely part of that is the the drought from rashford and hland right but they are both back among the goals so but shout out to wolves though because they have several points better off than they were this time last season they scoring a lot more goals W have

Been great this season it’s a sickener for them obviously particular how they started the game but there’s a lot of credit to take from that because I think I think O’Neal’s gotten puring and defensively they’ll be you know not concerned but they’ll need to tighten up there but yeah going forward wolves have

Been an enjoyable side to watch this season definely well um Jim moments earlier you were talking about young players you know trying to get a bit of identity and all the rest of it back at the club and perhaps that maybe some sort of little platform that Manchester

United could springboard off back into their old selves who knows um something that could just piss all over that is the fact that Jose Mourinho has reportedly made it his mission to return to Manchester United Because he believes he’s unfinished business yes now Manchester United fans this would be the

Epitome of what’s not good for your Club good for the everyone in this studio there’s not a five OB in that doesn’t want that to happen yeah and the great thing about it is no point in any of these CS is Mourinho mentioned man united it’s not it’s not like you know

What I think they might need some help and I’ll be happy to help them it’s like no no no I’ve got unfinished business so you are just going to have to bend to my will also they’ve currently got a manager I know I know it’s better than

That there’s a quote from quote from him here I’ve got there are still people in that club when I say people I mean some players but also some other people that are not players that are still there when I told United after 2 months with these people you are never going to do

It and they are still there said that in December Marcus rashford’s one of those players I think it’s rashford Shaw mctom maybe Marti he he absolutely hated Luke Shaw didn’t he how how good has become since Mourinho he was like oh he’s like oh he’s scored a Euro final now yeah

Remember he said he was only good when he was on my side of the touch line because I could coach impr the game ridiculous yeah he’s absolutely don’t get me wrong I completely agree that I would like it to happen and I’ll sign up to it right now because as you said

What’s you know what’s not what’s good for the ram was not good for your club but it does seem a little bit Rich given he’s just been given the [ __ ] bullet yeah this is it though isn’t it he doesn’t have a job now so unsettling other managers is his sport he’s

Basically at large it’s more of a sport than football is definitely true have you seen the 816 um luxury um Suite that used to stay in the Lowry you know what I bet that’s still I bet he’s still um paying in night well it is night but

Like it’s a Central City kind of um hotel room that run you about 200 quid anywhere so that’s only four times better you would expect a little bit more for the Manchester United manager wouldn’t you he’s not paying for himself though he’s not paying for himself though but I’m just saying that like

Inside um I’m looking at this um report on the mirror inside Josie Marino’s a luxury Suite it’s a bit [ __ ] do you know what I mean I would lived there for a Year’s there’s there’s a funky kind of 1970 shiz longu but that’s really it that’s the thing there was plenty of

Space for the former United boss to move about that what it on the story just like it’s like a Linton travel Tower so he wasn’t in a cage then we we knew it was depressing but like just look at it you just s of go squid like money isn’t the source of

Happiness and all that but if you’ve got money you can make decisions a lot more easily right just get a [ __ ] house house get a house get someone to furnish it for you get someone to bring you the keys and go there and live there like a

Normal human being footballers do it all the time yeah there’s companies out there that do that stuff all doesn’t want to get too attached to a place because that’s not his style and also he knows he’ll be moved on soon what what what message does that send to the

Players oh he doesn’t care about that Ibrahimovic stayed there as well if I order room service I in trouble I saw another quote from doing the rounds the other day that is perhaps overlooked in his U which was um simply I was ruled but I was ruled to an

Idiot amazing it’s got a good impression good Mar would be feel a bit threatened by that well in CER well if he manages Ta on the law they iner we can sh too many um no I you know we we say what’s what’s good for the

Ramble is is bad for your Club well that’s not always actually true because if this happened I think abedine fans would be loving it as well Neil waro has reportedly been sounded out about a shortterm syn as abdine boss The Dandy Dons would be couldn’t be more Dandy if

If B there got to be the only 75y old to to take his semi-retirement in abedine Sur don’t be Norm to go somewhere warm well yeah yeah if I was i’ be say to my agent get me something in the Spanish third division no but he lives in Nuki in in

Cornwall doesn’t he true and so perhaps well no perhaps a flight route has opened up between abine I imagine that is that’s probably pretty pretty good I mean that’s the flight route that’s a lands into Jon o gr’s kind of flight route isn’t it I’m contractually obliged

To say whenever we mention abine as my Grandad would say abine is not quite the end of the world but you can see it from there I’m also contractually obliged to mention that the only time I’ve ever been abedine a bus at the airport crashed another bus and the bus driver started

Crying welcome to abedine oh no I’m not laughing at the bus driver but I the story is unexpected is all I’m saying it’s that’s why he’s crying cuz I was laughing at him ha you crash a bus you nearly run over a lot of people haha what’s good for the ram is

Not good for bus driving um well uh wolves travel to Chelsea on Sunday Manchester United host West Ham in the David Moyes Derby speaking of David Moyes his West Ham side Drew won all Bournemouth last night 3 minutes into his West Ham debut with his second touch Calvin Phillips um essentially played

Dominic sank in slotted home twice I mean even salanki was a bit like I mean what yeah can I score this or I’ll put it in that was a great example of how quick Premier League football is it was it was in the net before you could even

Blink it was there yeah and and well Kurt Zuma he of uh the booze the boo boys um he gave him a a bad P he did he did yeah so you get the feeling that sanki gets away with um having a really bad celebration because what is this

Celebration I don’t even know it’s like an AR there’s a lot just a lot of projectile um celebrations at the at the moment Cameron Archer can do that yeah nobody else should camon Archer should do that what about Jared Bowen oh yeah that’s fine love that yeah um what what

Why is why are you allowed to do darts why are you allowed to do arrows yeah but you can’t do an AK what’s the what’s the cut off abak kamaro’s got maybe no one’s thought of it musket a musket how ages like just clean like getting the gunpowder down in

The barrel yeah and then yeah if you’re doing a machine gun you’ve got to do the noise as well the machine gun has been done yeah but like it’s always like no but didn’t someone do it with the corner flag once what about a grenade yeah over the

Shoulder yeah that’s a Any Given Sunday NFL is a a grenades there is and in and the New England Patriots in the NFL do they have the Minutemen which are the kind of revolutionary the musk they actually got muskets and they fired them that’s terrifying that’s too yeah I I

Think they’re blanks Markus absolutely clear it’s America mate be too sure you can’t be too sure but all right then yeah that’s fine I I was just going to say that um on on the um Kurt Zuma gave him a BD pass I mean fine but I mean

That’s a bit generous he did give him Calvin Phillips is not someone who’s built his reputation meet entirely with the ball that he never gives it away and he does that I don’t think you be looking at Kurt Zumba there the goal is the goal is phillips’ Fault 100% 100%

98% okay 98% there we go we’re agre if Kurt Zuma was English what what’s the percentage like then yeah look I think uh it’s Blue on Blue is it two two English been [ __ ] each other up Mar to deal with it I blame the keeper I’m glad an Englishman put it in

Though sure you are yeah look yes Phillips I mean he usually didn’t see sank you know but that’s shows you the bit of rustiness and unaware because in that position he plays you’ve got to be you know 360° you know he should just be hoofing

That with no no one in their right mind thinks it makes him a bad player overnight just he’s made a mistake incred a lot of people not in their right Minds watch football though that’s true particularly West Ham oh hello hey what who else you going to have a go

Back everyone that’s what I do on the show you’ve blocked them all already by now haven’t you muted muted I don’t give the satisfac for a block um if you have been blocked you can create another account so do not give up on that very

Easy to sell yeah good old X yeah get in touch with Pete he’ll tell you how to do it very very quickly and you you’ll have loads of them um yes I mean he’s only his third Premier League start in the past two seasons which is an incredible

Stat and a damning one as well and I’m very pleased of course that he’s gone to West Ham despite that poor St he’s hoovered up a lot of money uh and he’s set for life and all that kind of stuff but I mean give him his age he’s he’s s

He’s basically set out a lot of football at a key time um and this move was a must for him he had we talked about it he had to move he had to start playing um because it’s getting real now I mean I said to you guys before around um the

Summer these guys have got a chance here to do something amazing with England which has not been done for 50 plus years 60 plus years or whatever it is let me work that out is it 60 plus years probably no it’s 50 it’s 50 something years isn’t it anyway long time long

Time yeah no I getting bogged down wor um and and then now and they’re now kind of 97 lator world so that’s exactly what I was thinking of yeah to not that long but still it’s a long time so but when this England playing in qualifiers in the group that they’ve already basically

Sewn up it’s easy for South Gate and for players to go yeah I’ll still pick you yeah you still come along I know you’re not playing but you’re important to us actually it’s crunch time soon that’s why henders has moved back to to Europe that’s why Phillips has gone for a move

They need to be playing so he’s lost a lot of time if he if he gets up to speed quick for the run in or for the second half of the Season no one’s going to remember this stuff but he needs to do it fast well I think was it would have

Been a relief that they didn’t lose the game CU they battled back in didn’t they and they got it in W PR um who yeah I mean was an England player once upon a time it might be when Southgate moves on it’s strangely isn’t now even though

He’s playing better for a better team yeah but I mean I southgate’s got a system and I don’t get too bugged down with the England chat but yeah Calvin Phillips not we know he’s a good player it’s a very unfortunate start but surely you know he’ll he’ll kick on um from

There but I mean you know word for Bournemouth I mean you know up in 12th um I mean we’ve talked about wolves and how good they’ve been this season they’re only three points behind wolves and they’ve got a game in hand Iola I I know it’s an obvious thing to say but

What a job he’s done he turned it around at just the right time as well because he was pressure yeah and if you kind of take that in microcosm it’s actually probably about what seven eight games and his job’s already under threat and he’s still that’s the only that’s all he

Needed to sort of bed in and get the players to respond to his ideas he’s been really really good um and now but West Ham though they they’ve been criticized elsewhere though they’ criticized off the field um this is to do with transfers s Ben Rama look set to

Move to leyon and had arriv there yesterday when it’s a sick if you turn up at the place and you don’t end up going there FY at Leon as well he’d be [ __ ] delighted I know joal pinho was holding the buying shirt for crying um the deal fell through last night um Leon

Released a statement saying West Ham had done none of the necessary admin to complete the deal and accused them none of it accused them of a profound lack of respect a West Ham computer problem has reportedly left Pablo fornells as moved to btis uncertain as well in southern

Did they forget that again on I have no idea get get for Jitsu on the on the cuz for now was was standing by the side of the pitch holding his phone wasn’t he clearly looking for updates looking for admin was it did they do the thing on

Google Docs where you just haven’t given someone permission to edit it and you’re like have to request permission you’re like oh come on some some would say perhaps unfairly because I don’t know the machinations of how it works internally at West Ham that perhaps giving job of director to a 24 year-old

Son of the ex-owner or the Cent chairman or whatever he is that was a good decision it possibly might mean you’re racked with inexperience at the top level I’m not saying it’s the case just said it could be um and you maybe you you kind of reap what you saw on that P

Won the World Cup at 17 mate what’s your point he did yeah he didn’t I think people listening will know my point Mar need to add anything he didn’t arrange for the team to get to the World Cup did he well he arranged for them to win the

Final if a if a 17y old P was in charge of admin in presuming 1958 when he was 17 win the World Cup I don’t think it would have gone as well for them we’ll never know everybody wouldn’t need so much admin at the airport though you would

Say no plastic bags none of that oh yeah it would have been much easier Rock up get on the true I mean this is a guy who by the way I’m talking about Jack Sullivan here who’s who um I think at one point as a director of the club was

Using Twitter to criticize the management and the team selection and the players turns out giving a [ __ ] fetus a huge amount of responsibility at a Premier League club may not go that well they were doing the negotiations on X in the DMS yeah that could be the West Ham

Computer problem ask for ask for Brit Romano yeah who is rapidly turning into the most tedious part of football isn’t he is he the one who had the um pixel um sponsorship yeah we’re not getting sponsored by the Google pick at the moment are we it’s a good forone him I

Wouldn’t mind it fair enough he’s done his job on you yeah and he you’ve been you’ve been Fab washed I’ve been Galaxy g Galaxy brand not for the first time no right coming up in the second half we’ve got Arsenal versus Liverpool Everton versus Spurs and Jesse lingard see you in a

Moment camos camos camos yes Javi yes harvi good support Eric’s going to touch it support harvi go get in the box that was pretty good that was pretty good yeah that was pretty good yeah welcome back to the football R everybody pretty good indeed Phil Neville there during a training session at Portland

Timbers bring your dad to work day this leg Harvey being his son of course yeah nice to see them together again now on the subject of Phil’s former Club into Miami uh Danny Murphy has claimed that Barcelona should replace Javi with Lionel Messi I’d give it to Messi the

Fans are on board straight away everything he touches turns to goal this is of course after the news that Javi has said that he’s going to step down of managing Barcelona is this is this the worst things that’s ever been said it’s been treated like it’s the worst thing

Ever been said it’s the sort of thing that should get you stood down from at to the day for at least probably a week maybe more possibly a month I just don’t know what it’s been treated so strongly what what what’s the why is it why is it

Such a bad take I think it is you don’t I think it’s terrible it’s ridiculous like he believes in actual magic no I think it’s I think it’s a bit of what unromantic way looking at it I think it’s a bit of a silly take because he’s currently into Miami it’s

Disrespectful for them and uh you know that they they’re currently in Saudi they’ve just got beat 60 off chistian Ronaldo’s Al nass they really Ronaldo was in the stands goal scored I seem to recall is that right absolute Banger they played Movic aside the the previous game MIT obviously scored there’s your problem

Yeah I think I think all I’m getting at is that the Barcelona idea they put the bat sign out and go we need you to save us he’s most we can’t afford anyone else yeah he’s the most symbolic part of that entire Glory but he’s never suggested

Like seriously that he intends to go into management he’s spoken about he’s spoken about it as a possibility but even when you see him talk about it he’s pondering it as an idea rather than actually considering it serious you see the me messy advert where he’s uh Saudi

Arabia where he’s like in a room and there’s like brick walls and someone spray painted not much happening in Saudi Arabia and he shakes his head and he kicks the football at the wall and the wall explodes and then we’re on a roller coaster just doing sit ups I don’t think

There that’s not really very much not not what anyone said no one’s criticizing no one’s going oh you should go to Saudi Arabia because there’s not much happening there that’s not that’s not a criticism closed culture it says closed culture and then he then he kicks the ball at that as well arguably

There’s too much happening there there down well if you’re interested in Barcelona on uh OTC yesterday they explored everything around javi’s decision to leave Barcelona at the end of the season including why January was as David Cartage put it his month of Doom it’s well worth the listen so search on the

Continent in your podcast apps and join doton Andy and David for that one right Sunday at 4:30 Arsenal versus League leaders Liverpool a win for Liverpool would take them eight points clear of Arsenal and surely end Arsenal’s muggy little title host we have to do this again keep doing this we are always

Playing Liverpool it feels like we got to play them another five or six times between now and the end of the season exhausting the Liverpool have already won there of course they won 2-0 in the FA Cup in the FA Cup um and and you’d fancy them to win again uh yeah uh

The form there in is pretty Unstoppable you would think um eight points would be a difficult lead to overturn but Arsenal have to make themselves a protagonist here obviously um the game in the FA Cup Liverpool won it two- nil in the end but Arsenal made a lot of good chances and

They need to just be a bit more do the same again and be a bit more ruthless essentially moal is not playing but that just creates the Dogo jot problem because he loves playing against stuff brilliant player I think’s also like so one of the most under rated finishers

Like in in the he’s so good at his finishing is amazing like he as his finishing alone is as good as salers in my view yeah I’d agree with that yeah yeah lovely difficult difficult I mean Liverpool have also had a lot of Joy at Arsenal haven’t that the Emirates kind

Of in recent years as well four in the last five won they’ve won have they four and five is it yeah Arsenal won last season I think I mentioned this recently uh I think it was on the podcast it might just been one of my own private

Thoughts but um because we got you in trouble before indeed because we can’t last year at the Emirates I think there’s an idea that the monkeyy off the back there with Liverpool a little bit and obviously you have to repeatedly pull the monkey off and then Chuck it

Off a cliff or something care because it stole your [ __ ] yeah um talk to Pete he’s from harle pool yeah you got to deal with him in whatever way you can but um yeah this it’s a real real test and uh I wonder if the absence of takahiro tomasu will be uh unfortunate

Because he he is brilliant particularly against Liverpool he Marshall um mosella very very well last season there’s not really that why he’s missing he’s gone to just followed him yeah exactly yeah he’s marking him too well if anything so yeah that would be very interesting I think zenchenko was at fault for the

Goal uh against D Forest the other night he he um baned the offside trap essentially and we’ve seen before that he can be a little bit of a weak spot in that sense uh obviously he gives you a lot elsewhere as well so again probably

Another one to watch it was the case at anfield that he had a a little bit of a difficult time so there’ll be a lot of a on him deal with it who are Arsenal going to go for up top for this one who would fancy I would think it will it

Will be jayus Martinelli and S they the most effective you know what I’d like to see they wouldn’t expect the stick big Kai havocs up there to deal with the big boys get the flick it worked against Man City in the community chest all those months ago Community chest the main one

Well Virgil Van djk clarified this week that he has fully committed to Liverpool after saying on Monday that he was unsure if he will be part of the club’s post clop era yeah I thought that was a bit I thought Naughty by the media actually he clearly just said oh no one

Knows what’s happening and everyone was like oh right he’s not committed people just wanted a story there people wanted the story that oh as soon as jgen klopp leaves Liverpool the players law just drift away when he was literally I mean I saw the interview he’s literally just

Saying who knows yeah but I mean klopp himself was really good in response to that because he he said you have to remember when these Quotes come out it’s because we have questions put at us and we have to answer them so you know it’s you look at the question rather than you

Answer will they open a memorial vape shop for klopp they should do a memorial don’t know I mean I’m not really into Vapes not into Vapes Virgil Van djk yeah Virgil Van djk slams gen Z gen Z it would be Gen Y I don’t know J Z Jim right remember where you’re from

Sorry you silly marus you I’m a very serious sausage actually mate why isn’t Jim keeping the um British end up I don’t know and it does disgust and sadden me because he’s been to know why it is he’s been radicalized by the European nature of the football club he

Supports yeah too much in that belly yeah yeah 20 odd years of of a Frenchman telling him what to do that’s right stockh syndrome going on yeah but it’s a big one luk Mo um Jim reckons Arsenal going to win 5 nil yeah yeah um do you think that it’ll be that

Comprehensive you might be surprised to hear that I’m going to deviate somewhat from that prediction and say that I think it’ll be very tough and what I do love about the the Premier League um people in charge and the schedulers and all the rest of it get quite a lot of

Stick but what and and yeah actually right so but what I do like is when they put these kind of games on at 4:30 on a Sunday cuz it’s just not look forward to it feels like it feels like you’re at a festival you’re for a neutral you want

It don’t yeah you’re there looking for the main event and you’ll enjoy all the the support acts but come on now’s the big one and this game is a game that I feel like I haven’t checked the stats but in my mind seems to quite regularly deliver it’s not like do you remember

Years and years ago we went through that phase of there was um all these big games between so the top the traditional top four were at the time and it would always be like NE Liverpool and Chelsea went through all those games nil nil One

N these games tend to be good I think it’s the most high-scoring fixture in PR league history I remember a five all in the League Cup not that long ago four or five years ago um worth worth watching for sure it was longer ago than that was

It not but anyway no there was another one you’ll think of the shin one yeah that was there was one after was I think it was 63 Baptista scored yeah it was a while ago that was a long time ago so we what we’re saying listeners is that once

In this fixture it was really high scor I’ll have no baring on what happens on Sunday 5 now uhhuh um now you guys talked about John Terry being in the A and um anfield when Chelsea played there and then you said obviously Alan Shir was in theend at kin cotage when

Newcastle played there who would we like to see in the aend at Emirates what about ma paor McCartney s Bin Laden in the home uh a he would be in the home end um if he was still alive I was just making the connection between sard and Aral made anue to do it

Yeah okay what anyone else who what about someone else outrageous in the end uh why are you asking me this just because it’s in the Run WR bad Arsenal fans bad Arsenal fans I’d love to see go agree that Arsenal fans on Twitter are the worst Morgan Morgan yeah I’d love to see

Pierce Morgan right in the middle of a bunch of Liverpool fans who who are who are have had a really difficult time traveling to the stadium and are therefore annoyed study study reveals that Arsenal fan second worst at leaving match match early matches early I don’t leave early

But lots of people do yeah we go in fact lots of people missed two goals against Palace the other day to be I mean they are in the center of town and I know like H is lington cannonbury like it’s I mean they’re but they’re in the they’re

Probably as close to W1 is is is pretty much leaving the stadium is a nightmare I reckon though if you’re leaving the area I reckon if Jim left early then a lot more people would stay um anyway uh Liverpool’s friendly neighbors Everton host um Arsenal’s friendly neighbors Spurs of course on Saturday at

12:30 um interesting on this um so yes and Everton are in the relegation zone so it is panic stations and of course they’ve got that um uh extra charge pending a pending disciplinary problem exactly so so it really is um quite serious forever to now have been very

Aware of this of course with that heavy points deduction they have it’s backs against the wall but the wall might move yeah yes exactly they’ve in five and it it seems that as much as the first points deduction galvanized them perhaps the you know the Spectre of the second

One is can you can you ungalvanized yeah I I was actually reasonably impress impressed with Everton when they played Fulham the other night I mean I couldn’t believe it ended nil nil you don’t get that many nil Nils these days in the Premier League perhaps that’s just me I

Mean there was so many chances either end but Everton especially in the first half were actually pretty good and I mean again they I mean they could have won it right at the end and actually you know what they’ve had some tough tough fixures in there they’ve got they’ve in

That five game um winless run they’ve played Spurs Man City Villa and lost heavily to wolves but you know that decent so you know it will be a tricky task though of course playing Tottenham hota uh at the moment um because as we know Peter they’re a lovely side under

An POA cogo they’re they’re um slightly chaotic and I like it and I like watching them and um yeah two thumbs up for Spurs at the moment would Shawn Das beat James Madison darts yes the answer phys yeah physically I think there’s just something about his

Um Ambiance that would sort of pull him through that match personally it’s No Nonsense versus all nonsense isn’t it in terms of like style like it good yeah um well now I know you mentioned um the the beef between James Madison and Neil Morp was really beef though was it it’s more

Chicken it’s a lot lighter spam It’s Kind like a vegan beef spam spam it’s spam yeah in more ways than one is absolute spam yeah I find it hard to be objective about this cuz like James Madison could cure cancer and I’d be like still annoying yeah bit bit needy stick to

Football do you understand why maybe Southgate didn’t pick him as much now well the thing the thing we we the angle we had on Wednesday which has since developed even further and proven Pete and I kind of right all along needless to say we’ve had the last laugh is that

It’s quite hard to I mean people jump on this got it’s a great bit of beef on the rest of it it’s not a great bit of beef it’s terrible and it’s very hard to imagine wrri and schmeichel or Kean and Vieira or whoever taking it further to

Social media and having Digs at each other’s on their Instagram post stff like if Roy Keane was a player that he wouldn’t have Instagram and rightly so and I just think it’s it’s almost like that in um in that um like a boxing night where you have like you know a

Bunch of lightweights fighting before you have the big heavyweight contest like and obviously lightweight boxes are amazing for their own reason but it’s not like like people don’t watch it as much not as interested in it and as I said to Pete at the time you know

Whoever whoever wins this bust up all of us lose something this is a YouTuber boxing match oh but exactly great example boxing example the past was better wasn’t it back when all this was fielded it was um no I just look Madison’s is a brilliant player all the

Rest of it just just just’s get on with it yeah get on with it and Neil Mor are professional at this kind of stuff yeah and and the thing that really the thing that really gave it away was how noticeably annoyed James Madson was that someone stol his celebration which made

Him look a bit [ __ ] it’s almost a bit like when he’s sort of hanging on to mop afterward went for too long went on for too long it’s it’s a lot of faf over a imaginary Dart isn’t it yeah exactly damn right damn right exactly um uh oh

Have you seen that uh Spurs man son uh will be in Asian cup action this afternoon at 3:30 UK time against an Poo’s former team Australia so are you kind of are you suggesting there might be some kind of conflicted loyalties but he might get the cap as he stripped off

Him if he scores against Australia well I’m just saying that if if son did some kind of Celebration have a dig at an that that’s beef that you want to have I I love the idea of an sending the lads home from training probably about lunchtime today pitching up in like a

Deck chair in his trunks a couple of couple of tenes and watching this that’s exactly what I imagine doing they be in his trunks though just cuz that’s Australian is it they do I would say that the ultimate punishment is being managed by um jagen Clansman so he’s

Probably he getting his m he’s like I just give me the I want to win this tournament obviously but I can’t wait for it to end the same oh dear by the way speaking of South Korea have you seen Jesse lingard might be off there

Looks like it doesn’t it what a move I mean if this happen FC Soul the big boys yeah it’s good that is it well so that’s that’s that’s what’s being reported I’m not sure if it’s been signed sealed delet Friday night come on it a one they serve tenants quite a lot

Tenants have can have a tenants all around the town I’m not sure I fancy I’ll be a l long way away from the F they serve what they serve what they serve it where all around the town you say there’s an erotic museum for tourists is is this the

Picture of you sitting next to the erotic toilet with an erection in it yes yeah that’s there that’s s that’s my adventur look forward to think the I mean it is a great move and it’s something that’s you know should be applauded because it’s a big big trip

For him and a big kind of dive into the unknown completely different culture on the rest of it the context of this though is he was tting himself around Barcelona first I know Dr but that was because it was it was like there for the

Taken I mean it was was it no was in as in if they wanted players and he he was a free agent and so on I mean look lingard’s story is an interesting one actually and there’s there’s some there’s some quite sad stuff in there

When he talks about you know a few years ago his mom having depression and then he had to kind of basically look after his 15-year-old at the time and 11-year-old uh brother sorry 15-year-old brother and 11y old sister at the time and and you

Know his life went in a you know it took a bit of a turn so I look it’s it’s taken him a while obviously he’s been playing football since then I think one of the reasons why he didn’t go to stay at West Ham among among all the reasons

Was he needed to be near home because he needed to be look looked after them I don’t know what his situation is like at home now I hope sounds like it’s changed well I hope it’s significantly improved but if it has if that is the case and he

Thinks right now I can you know spread my wings is the K League the place to resurrect a career at that edge though but it’s not about resurrecting the career it’s about having a lovely old time yeah well look I completely agree I think the standard

Of living out there is is 10 times higher than what you would get at that peer level anywhere else but do you not think though like he could go well he me he couldn’t he tried to go to S but that kind of gang n with get a suit get a

Suit in gangam I just think Stoll up with a can of tenants in your hand brilliant all that the erotic Museum off to the erotic Museum he’s Liv in P dream next door to ice Museum it’s got everything I’ve never seen you this animated on this show love s and yet

You’re still having a diol and j down the souths of tenants the rock museum with an ice Museum paks Verdi it’s got everything is there a supermarket not be mentioned is there a local supermarket what are the schools like kid can you go to the cinema they’ll learn I’ll tell

You what they’ll learn more in the ice Museum they at any school exactly kids go the ice Museum where are you I’m next door looking at Cox what is the ice Museum can you talk us through that as an nice slide there’s like little kind of like um statues that people have made

There’s load of ice there out there what what more do you want I’ll tell you what I would hate to prostate to lose it the no Dean Smith also says you’re an encyclopedia of football oh what an encyclopedia of football I don’t know what that means I would prostate to lose

At this game that’s what I was trying to I think I think we got it we just didn’t like it it’s not the same thing as the AR checked out sunsh you’ve taken an arrogant position there you’ve thought oh they must not have got that joke we

All got it we just didn’t like it call that an arrogant position could well maybe a caring one he’s like I did something I want people to understand it fully and I’m picking up the pieces or perhaps extremely naive yeah either way nice H nice H it’s a simple game of cies

People if you go too slow you’re going to be heing Gary Neville’s orgasm which will leave you 7 seconds I have not uh done this show uh for about done this uh done this game for about um two months now so I it’s going to be Co it’s going

To be a mess it’s going to be fun though I I don’t think are ever thinking oh a couple of months ago when Pete was doing it it was amazing so wish we could have those days backing the host Marcus Cru yet another Victory it the Luke Nation

The Luke Nation are a bit like the rebel alliance in Star Wars no they’re not absolutely clear you are like those people that storm the capital building in America and you are their leader Mr Donald Pete Pete would you say that Mark is a bit overco competitive sometimes uh
