God Phil foden and his finger guns I see that in my nightmares D oh or is it a finger rifle I think it’s a finger rifle I’m gonna hopefully interview Phil soon I’ve got a feeling he’s going to like completely and utterly just confuse and be like no no they’re Chopsticks it’s

For Jack greenish at Mr Wings that’s how we use chopsticks like that man from the men in Blazer Studios and the crap part of Bedford and the crap part of West Hollywood californiaa it’s the Blaze’s video podcast presented by the gfop at Camarena the world’s most awarded

Tequila we back like the US Women’s National Team baby oh doing DAV yeah nothing to see here um I’m doing okay R uh big weekend draw bite your arm off for one of those baby I love the draw take it in the fat it’s been a long time

It’s been a long time as we will discuss we got a lot of football to break down oh Manchester United United fans we are here for you with an enormous enormous cuddle um but quick one up top before we dive in D I know

You spend a lot of your time just I mean why do we like football we like the football for the the US soccer Federation Shenanigans right isn’t that why we watch Mostly and and they have given us plenty of entertainment over the years we should say thank you to

Everyone involved in US soccer in a Friday night news dump they announced that the format of the 20 23 24 US Open cup that vaunted men’s tournament that go some SE to shining c will only involve eight of a possible 26 MLS teams stay with me here of the 10

Remaining MLS clubs nine will have what is called their next pro teams which essentially means their their Reserve or Youth Development string it’s kind of very American to come out with a cool name for that D essentially what does it mean for you dear casual fan it means

You know lonel Messi or into Miami you reach the final last season and I know this is all complicated um and I know us soccer have have I think self- admittedly let this Jewel of US soccer history fade and become for more atrophy than it should be without commercial

Heft without real broadcast Partners has become kind of a gr Gardens of of football tournaments I think $300,000 is on offer to the winners um and you kind of compare that to the shiny tournaments MLS has Unleashed this seems to be a new one have they seem to each have a baby

New tournaments every single blood the year like the leagues cup and all that stuff which they utterly control they own the IP to but D this US Open cup it’s rued in our history right goes all the way back to 1913 and my friend Jim curtain of the Philadelphia Union the

Manager there he was one of many to voice his hope that this year’s disaster was just a blip on the tournament format and it will return to its TR additional and proud ways um in Seasons to come don’t you think it’s like so bloody crucial that both parties work out some

Kind of self-interest here and not let this this alternate way of telling history really on the men’s side the oldest sporting competition in the United States for prey to to battles between US soccer and MLS essentially yeah look there seem to be four key words in the title of this tournament

United States open and cup now I assume that they are still allowing the United States to the extent that these states are still United Rod I assume there is still a cup on offer at the end in addition to the $300,000 and if I remember rightly this

Is a magnificent trophy it’s a beautiful we’ve held it in our hands yeah it’s beautiful that cup but we remember we once did the draw for the semifinal um live on stage in Portland and senil galatti was offended we allow to touch the hot balls I think he was offended he

Was offended by everything um but one of the key words within the US Open cup is open and open is that it is available to all and everybody gets into it who has a ranking high enough to go and get into it when you start manipulating just as

You would whether it’s the US Open or the French Open or the Australian Open or any of the the open once you start manipulating it it’s a that’s a dangerous rad my friend it’s a dangerous rad um but they only got rid of one word at the same

Time they could have said hey you know we’re gonna invite all the teams from from Latin America into it we’re going to not have a cup anymore um I guess they could have done that but taking out the openness of it does seem to be a bit

Of a problem to better days ahead for all this tournament could be this tournament should be really should be the Jewel of the American sporting calendar really when I look at it I think it could be a commercial wonder that makes money and broadcast sense for

All um so here’s in that Spirit keep the open cup Weir day V to better days ahead for all absolutely okay before we get to the Premier League football a quick word about everything coming up at men and Blazers World Headquarters this week a massive week r as European football

The Pod God I want to raise my third first melobot of the day which I did actually I will confess open a little early I’ve gone a little early today but I’m raising it to the US women who did rebound from a fairly horrific shocking

DOA sah loss two met Mexico on home turf in the W Gold Cup group stage by quite crisply overcoming Linda kaiso and Columbia 3-0 last night in Los Angeles a well executed press was too much for the Colombians to live by especially as they were they were kind of more focused on

The howery than the than the football if we’re being honest but it was a really feisty you don’t know where I’m from dog kind of game and and the US did not back down at all impressive performances should we said from Al Morgan in an unfamiliar role pulling the

Strings in a deeper lying position Sam Coffey in the Midfield honest truth is Alysa there in a 100th cap um in goal pulled off two first half quite impressively risk strong saves without which could have been a very different reality um but the US march on to Wednesday semifinal against Canada who

Will prove a Stern a test winner never has to listen to Nickel back again in their lives oh Sam muis doing great reaction before the game post the game on the women’s game YouTube we are so lucky to ride with her taping a ton of stuff with her around this game midweek

Bring It On wonderful okay to the Premier League football Rod Manchester City three Manchester United one the Lancashire equivalent of Dylan Panthers versus the East Dylan Lions sees a couple of local Lads steal the show it started in just the eth minute when with and Sha own Marcus rashford Unleashed a

30-yard blast that put the defending champs on notice but after a first half in which they had the better of the ball but were proplate in front of goal City hit back and the spotlight shifted from within Shore five miles Northeast to Stockport who favorite son Phil foden

Led a comeback for the ages he tallied a brace even earling harland’s iOS update finished in time to get on the score sheet with a third a massive result in the context of the title race and in the state of the state of these two clubs

God Phil foden and his finger guns I see that in my nightmares Dao this or is it a finger rifle I think it’s a finger rifle it could be finger guns it could be a finger rifle but de on our other pod interview Phil soon I’ve got a

Feeling he’s going to like completely and utterly just confuse and be like no no they’re Chopsticks it’s for Jack greenish at Mr Wings that’s how we use chopsticks like that man yeah under 92nd Manchester Derby loaded of intrigue before the game off field power games golfs perches true title chases

Manchester City entered on the you know in name at least not really form but in name on the that kind of early March inevitable run of 14 of the uh past 15 games ending in City wins Harland just come off midweek which he scored five goals in one game kdb lited four assists

In that process Manchester United in contrast just been lumped by Fulham consumed by injuries no hland uh no Luke Shaw and more and the palace Intrigue of their own internal power battle so Jim rat CLE the new controlly owner talking publicly about knocking City off their

Perch in fact trying to do so by building a model so closely similar to cities that are actually taking their senior staff in order to do so crazy names like zidan being t BL rumored as possible future managers all of that straight all of that friends he get to

Ten hog to such an extent that in the words of Bonnie Renee and the guardian the United manager was left midweek talking about quote Tik Tok videos with all the easy command of your uncle who teaches Latin trying to understand grow music it’s been quite chaotic watching

Poor ten hog the past 10 days David yeah I mean the the comparisons between him and pep I mean there are not two bals more unlike each other on the entire planet Earth R you think me and St sound yeah a BAL golf yeah it is a it is a BAL

Golf but I would say that tenh and pep have less in common there’s less shaded area in their ven diagram than you and STM you know fully enough I did get a yellow belt in shot of canar study it faing but so there is probably a closer probably closer even

Closer by the way I do love this statisticians listening can you please confirm there is a stat called the ball Gap it would have a small b and a large G like XG and I’m way into that yeah the BG but oh God I’m really getting my

Whole Shan karate memory all I want to do is stand up and and rip off a few key eyes but before kickoff Chris suton on the British broadcast was asked what will the score be and his Stony face predicted a six1 City win I honestly wondered actually asked my United

Supporting family lot in United a city a lot of them are united I asked them if they I think I used the word would you bind my arm off before kickoff if I offered you a three-nil loss um and my step Uncle Joe he said no in a disgusted

Voice as if he was offended by the very question he then got back to me and said I would take 3-1 though as if it was all a negotiation well a good weekend for a step Uncle Joe dub for Uncle Joe hope he’s on prize picked but um city just

Set a furious Tempo from the off as if intending to incinerate United with their white hot heat Jon Stones kdb harand doku just flinging themselves at that create creaking United backline with the energy I’ve only seen before when Ronaldo grabs his crotch region in the presence of audible Messi chance and

Despite their ferocious running results city late have always been open to that ball played over the top in behind the counter to the counter see the Chelsea game and on 8 minutes you know first real clench face Route One Long clearance from monana Like a proor

Torpedo sent down the air shaft of aesta Fernandez onto it oh Das as closed him down but he just rolled it to an on-rushing Marcus rashford it had to be him right DAV after this week in which he’d written publicly in the players Tribune about who I really am

Confronting his Legion of tabloid critics who he believes are scapegoating in um you know the England built him up for his advocacy work during covid where he just you spoke so beautifully on behalf of of children uh who were suffering from poverty and now they’re knocking him down but he raced onto that

Ball there that shot he took XG 0.02 and he just anger Struck it didn’t he well there are a number of miracles about it Raj and you’re so right about the British press I mean one thing the British press is superb at doing is is knocking someone off a pedestal you know

It’s almost inevitable it’s it’s it’s an inevitable fall um but Fernandez got onto it you know which involved some real running um he then made such a smart pass into the space and the amount of space that rashford ran into it’s almost as though the city players were

Like wait a minute we’re meant to be running around in little shapes like at the other end of the field like passing to each other and creating opportunity after opportunity the idea of tracking back at that point seemed Beyond them rashford ran into so much space but then

Ran onto it at speed and hit it from so far out it was just I mean as good as rashford is I didn’t for one moment think as he was running up to that ball that he was going to go and put it top bins yeah I want to ask him actually

Like when you hit a ball like that rain Rooney once told me that whenever you pull your foot back from a ridiculous place on the field it does pass your mind it’s going to kind of shank Rosie and everyone’s just gonna go um but it didn’t seem that that ever entered his

Mind it was just like it was like a tracer bullet wouldn’t it was a shot I mean just all of that frustration that confusion that tearing anger he just seemed to unleash it on the ball striking it as if it was the howling head of his enemies um it Rose it was

Heat seeking um honestly we’ve always said on this show a goal should count double when it goes in off the bar Edison stunned I mean just a storming strike just carved of Wonder get ready to watch that goal in every Manchester Derby Montage for the next 20 years and

Off he charged Dao that that ecstatic release that joy that relief that frustration that anger all just pouring out he’s still only 26 year old I mean he’d written midweek about his Critics on British television um he asked them to quote have a bit more Humanity um he

Talked about how when they write about him it’s got to be about my body language questioning my morals speculating about my family and my football future there’s a tone in it that you quote don’t get with all footballers let’s just leave it at that I mean of Raheem Sterling um talking

About how black players in the Premier League are just judged implicitly horrifically by completely different standards and he end he ended up saying if you back me good if you doubt me even better David what must your felt as he charged off deliriously Manchester Bourn lad scoring

For his team pointing at his head again in this signature style when it all seemed to have disintegrated for him this season just to have that moment with the world watch and also to do it you know at a rival Stadium that’s not a home goal that

Would have had its own Glory but to do that at the etad was uh was quite spectacular look he’s a thoughtful person he’s a sensitive uh person in and I mean that in the in the in the best sense of it that’s a compliment um and I

Think his points made in the Press were really were really well made and you know as you said also he’s a 26 year old you know that’s the remarkable thing about professional athletes and brilliant brilliant athletes is their ability to rise above the noise and to take inspiration from the people who

Doubt them yes it hurts yes it yes it scars yes it it it it it you know it sort of leaves a sort of a bad taste in in in in his mouth but the fact that he can walk through there and run onto that ball with no doubt and deliver that blow

As if from one of Phil foden’s Chopsticks um that was just remarkable a stat then was was flung onto the television screen with almost like Czech off’s gun the 13 times in the last 27 games 13 out of 27 this city team have gone behind but they’d only lost three

And they did take the punch on the chin um you know Johnny Evans stepping up um at the wrong time to let Phil foden in one-on-one Onana who said pregame that he’s overcome quote mental demons this season just bailed his team out with a big po a big stop continuously came out

To claim everything did feel like there’s a narrative just this heroic United performance against the odds game Helter Skelter Chan is made chance is not taken at both ends Marcus rashford again ball over the top goal at his Mercy got his shot all wrong fell over reminder the football let your spirit

Saw one second brings you crashing back down to wor the next for that watch Haren for most of this game um uncharacteristically heading over a snap opportunity with a goal is Mercy and it starts to feel like shade to the nine shots he missed in the frustrating Chelsea game unana down smartly to

Smother from rodri just the rear guard stuff from United was admirable blocking off the passing channels just last minute foot to tap the ball away from harmes way bodies given up Big Blocks by Mayu United gave up the very idea of attacking veran mens Johnny Evans old

Enough to be Tim Ream’s dad I mean God Johnny Evans D starting for Manchester United in 2024 I mean can anyone else be aarp’s athlete of the year it just you would give him the award now no I think he deserves it right now I mean you

Mentioned the header the the the one he missed with his foot on the open goal I couldn’t believe that haran missed that but the whole time it looked like I don’t know if you get delivered these ads or they just come to me R but I get

Delivered these ads on social and online sometimes of these sort of like animated simulated Wars with lots of little animated characters from one Army just sort of completely overmatching and overrunning another Army and then eventually just they just disappear and I honestly felt that the red shirts were

Going to literally disappear from the ground in this match that man city was so all around them so the movement was so incredible it was almost more intense pep than we’ve ever seen an intense pep team um so it just felt to me inevitable which is why man united had to get

Another goal to stand a chance of keeping up that uh record of leading at halftime yeah I mean you you watch that Harlem miss that you just mentioned there was a foden nod across the area for some reason Harland decided to raise his foot to tap it home skewed it over

Like some kind of Norwegian Betto in Disguise um in that moment pep span away held his temples I thought Flames would come out of his fingers um just at the agony of that man that hum in that second knowing that he’s GNA have to waste valuable seconds at half time

Turning Holland off again and on again to try and get him working reboot always what you alwayss you that’s what you do with the just turn it on again and off again um Opa reveled in Man City throwing 18 shots in that first the domination was remarkable the mo United

Have faced first half of a game uh since I 2008 was it pep on the sideline there was a shot of him again spinning away right before halftime tilt Agony um while screaming at a fourth official whil smiling which made him 10 times look more sociopathic U just getting

Into the fourth official’s face doing his weird noodle hands um David I’m never sure whether and you can you can enlighten me here whether pep is belittling or complaining to the fourth official or he suddenly decided to seize this moment to tell the official about

The best food I’ve ever eaten no I think he’s definitely confusing the fourth official that’s the one thing which I think we can be absolutely sure of what exactly he was saying in in that moment at some point he he he seemed to sort of make a ball motion a sphere motion with

His hands but maybe that wasn’t a ball maybe that was an orb maybe he was talking about with the best team on planet Earth maybe it was it was something else maybe he was referring to his head in some way or to Jason st’s head he’s saying bu golf the bul golf is

Enormous but um I sort of felt that what he was asking for is how are we not being awarded goals for our domination it’s like we should be just like we should be 171 up at this point God we’re going to be so humiliated when lit

Readers get into it and tell us he was saying alpaca Kashmir you must try it the rain the sweat it just rolls right off but I did wonder how I mean many of you are listening how are you Liverpool fans were feeling at halim after 45 minutes cheering for Manchester United

This Manchester United the enemy of mine enemy is Bruno Fernandez or something like that United came out started to time waste almost immediately in the second half rashford barely got possession as the out ball and the moment he did it ended up a goal but in the opposite way he ever would have

Dreamt off on the break rashford slipped through the other side of Walker briefly Walker did seem to hand check him do we agree although you know part of me is like rashford at high speed hand checked it would have thrown him you know off kilter a bit like any of you are Potters

When you’re working with Clay on a wheel a tiny touch can just send the the plant pot that you’re working on off into contorted buckling surreal shapes or were you like consensus is rashford went down far too easily I mean it’s one of those ones it could have been given both

Ways but it it wasn’t given and I think the most important thing is that it wasn’t given and so why should we end up taking away the goal that was so beautiful at the other end and um or it doesn’t even devalue the beauty of that

Goal at the other end and so it wasn’t given you just got to move on there’s nothing you can do about it and city did choose that Mo I actually said to my son I was watching it with bare my second and I was like oh my God they are going

To go down the the other end and scoring this moment they did strike rodri pulled a pass to foden who cut across Lindelof um got to say about foden his form so stunning watching foden Strike a ball I do believe it’s one of it’s almost an

Honor as a spectator to watch this man do that um in this moment just the city players call I think Kyle Walker said this post game they called foden the sniper that technique just grooved through years of practice Johnny Evans was ahead of him could move his 87 year

Old bones to block the ferocity of the strike it was strike so sweet you you could really imagine Liam and N gallaga just texting each other be like all right all right we got to reunite for this we got to write a love song about Phil bloody foden and his finger guns

David it was it was almost like a counter a repost to rashford’s goal it was I’m watching robots learn from humans and bettering them David yeah I mean the form of these young in England players this season across the Premier League and across Europe it is quite

Staggering uh to watch and it’s almost like they competing against each other for minutes at this point um I would argue that no one no offensive England player has improved more this season than Phil foden and I think it’s a it’s a runaway it’s his his Improvement his

The number of minutes that pep is trusting to give him the the the speed he has but also the speed of thought the um the clinical the technique the execution he hurts you in so many ways and in this game ruthlessness yeah the ruthlessness just wow um this goal was

Just something really special as good as rashford’s goal was there was something for me even more Technical and beautiful about this go pep said after the game um about food who is still remember just 23 years old he said he can win games by himself that is when you become a world

Class player he’s the player of the season um I actually believe he’s not wrong um in that Johnny Evans then had to limp off with with old age 19yearold Willie camba from Congo replaced him United Heaven Mo just holding on attacking intent just oh just went full on disappearing like Kate Middleton I

Think they had 0.00 XG in the second half which in a Manchester Derby is bewildering and astonishing City we tied them R you and I tied them this in the second half with our XG but your arm off for 0.0 XG I mean just trusting delighting I they seem like a creature

That could hear their opponent their their prey the senu snapping um the agonized heartbeat um just the the energy the will to live uh evaporating from United um you knew a winner was coming when it did no surprised it was foden again fed through by kdb he exchanged passes of Alvarez casemiro

Chasing him as if running through through mist and treal um and just from an angle Struck it so low so true through Onana the ball rumbled on I was like why did I fall for it David why did I believe that the result could be anything but City winner yeah in slow

Motion I thought wow maybe Anana could have done better but when you watch it in regular speed he just did as he said hit it so low hit it so hard at that point um superb strike across the goalie and 2-1 harand then scored after amra

Back coughed the ball up lck lustly fed into the Nordic giant who did his low open body Arc into the corner finish charge away flung himself on the floor humped it a little why not uh pep grabbed his assistant pointed up at the heavens um or I like to think an

Imaginary Julia Robert see Julia c um we we will never know but these City players D though 45 minutes earlier they’ve been looking down um the barrel of a gun pep you know floundering at the fourth official talking about Kashmir alpaca haran the terrible misses that could have been the headlines but

Instead no no City Triumph City Joy pep actually walking around um I mean this was this was more than just a win I mean pep was giving off his and I think this is all intentional him postmatch nothing is just pure emotion all of it is is

Gambit all of it ahead of the Liverpool game next weekend is just him set himself up giving off Vibes it’s all political he gave off Vibes like we have won the title in this day I don’t I’m not even thinking about Liverpool despite the fact that he’s in a deeply

Competitive three horse race um this day 3-1 even harand scored six goal in five Manchester Derby Ian foden hate United so very much but David I’m going to ask you again and the final whistle I did scratch my head again I was kind of like

Gob smacked how did we fall for how did United cheat US put it that way into emotionally investing in believing um that this result could be could be one of shock and and and surprise and and the United win because they did L us into that and then just and then just

Killed over I mean I would be lying to you though Rog if I said that I ever believed that United were going to win this game game or actually I’d be lying up I ever thought United were going to get a point out of this game even after

They scored when they failed to score a second um I always believed the city were going to come back in and I’m not Rod stradamus I don’t have these moments but I just didn’t watching the match I never believed it was it was going to happen for United City were just so

Superior in every single place and this isn’t a knock on United I thought United came out and and threw it at them um in that first half I thought they played some very good organized football I think they showed amazing shape and I think they had some chances to go and

Score a second but once they didn’t get that second City just had way too much and City could have scored six City could have scored six on this day yeah by the way that was that was was in the in the last 10 minutes you did expect

Chris Hon’s prediction to come true and it would not have been surprising United players looked like they knew that at the end looked somber Ashen faced as they paraded around the field um you know outshot 27 shots to three I think they had 26.7% possession the etti had Stadium

Rang out to your effing crap I’m paraphrasing in their faces 11 Premier League defeats now on the season for United it’s astonishing same number as Bournemouth one more than Chelsea um and if you’re looking at ten hog and how so Jim ratliffe will evaluate his manager

Um look at the substitutes in this one Anthony am rat seem to actually undermine his team rather than bolster them um City tearing you apart again um first loss for United after leading at halim in over a decade um LED for over half the Game ending with their fans

Leaving before the final whistle the perch so much higher than Ratliff imagined when he talked his cocky talk of knocking them off inside three years really a golfing class six points off Tottenham in fifth I wonder what Tick Tock he’s gonna flare that this week David maybe some maybe some kobby lame

Will piss him off yeah and the job for him is you look at those starting lineups and you look at the bench there isn’t a single United player who replaces a city player in the starting lineup there isn’t really anyone on the bench that would replace any of those

City players on the bench and this isn’t just true of United it’s true of almost every team in the Premier League except for Arsenal Liverpool maybe a Tottenham player here and there but it’s a um but yeah the gulfing class of the players at Eric tenh hard’s disposal it’s just

They’re just not there for him God 21 Point City glean from losing positions um anfield now beckoning next week um rashford delivered a one goal but then United tried to just hang on and city were Relentless in their Pursuit fing Relentless Haren just immense joy as they I think they’ll be

Singing as they head to anfield on Sunday what a title race there City it needs to be said for all their dominance for all the points they’ve gleaned since the beginning of December and that last loss against Aston Villa they have not beaten a top five team yet this season

Um and they played in this run really middling fair and now they have Liverpool Newcastle Arsenal Aston Villa in for the next five to come this is the title race it’s a total race of the ages oh can’t wait we get a we get a seat to

Watch all of it we’re so fortunate so blessed okay Nottingham Forest nil Liverpool one we’re going to fast forward through the first 99 minutes of this one and get right to the most dramatic ending to a Liverpool game in at least well six days with the game

Meandering towards a goal as draw and Liverpool in desperate need of a winner uruan wildcard Darwin Nunes rose up and flicked home a delish Alexis McCallister ball to claim a vital three points for purple clad Liverpool as jurgen’s callous German mitts maintain their grip on the top spot in the Premier League

Table God the clot ruple continues in this last dance game both sides needed points very very badly for very very different reasons Liverpool deep into their 1877 club for kids era a sa sa autos for dinder um yuram unleashing freshman Talent after freshman Talent um they like it does

Remind me I haven’t seen anything like this since um since the Fab Five and Michigan Dave in this one it was 19-year-old Bobby Clark who made his first Premier League start for Liverpool the Old Guard though starting to come back canate Robo mallister Lewis Diaz all return to the starting lineup nunz

And sober slide back on the bench um but way one note on this klopp kid thing we all see the one up we do we do we do the youngsters klopp’s belief in them belief that they can do it um which you know Cody gakpo was talking midweek about how

All comes from klopp um but there is an element of the story that’s not discussed as much um which is klopp did the injuries Dave I mean he did it’s his style of football in this this incessant calendar you know they’ve just come off four games in 11 days it

That that style of of chaotic football has ground the team down the games of Relentless nature the amount of injuries in training they’ve had um and this Liverpool season of Wonder is really about can they keep those legs some legs fresh enough to get them over the line

Huh his style necessitates kids is what you’re saying yeah I think that’s that’s very fair and injuries and hamstring injuries and you know the number that happen in um in training um and you saw it the freshness wholly absent for much of this game against a defensively sturdy Forest admirable really brilliant

B by manager Papa Smith Nuno unleashing deoc origi against Liverpool for the first time since he stopped tormenting me anfield in 2022 he was Lively early yes we have to say this no G rer again minor kn not even on the bench sigh um one real talking point of the game for

The first hour um was the amount of chanting by the notti and Forest fans about poverty unemployment essentially how slum and poverty ridden Liverpool is there’s a chant a lot the opposing fan thing for Everton and Liverpool about sign on sign on to the tune of You’ll

Never Walk Alone really a dger signing on for unemployment benefits um when poverty by the way all over the Midlands and all over the north of England is is is is equally as as as bereft at the moment Miguel Delaney tweeted the unemployment rate in Nottingham is

5.9% compared to 5.7% in Liverpool the issue of austerity which is gripping England I obviously don’t say this as competition but it’s Grim that a universal social problem has become a source of chanting it is amazing David yeah 5.7% unemployment you’ll never seeing that I mean that sort of is where

Where we’re going it’s rid I mean a lot of this started as you know West Ham in the 1970s with the sign on sign on and the burning of cash when when teams from Liverpool came down which was always remarkable in West Ham the East London was not exactly the wealthiest part of

Of Britain certainly not the wealthiest part of the capital at that point either so um yeah I mean it’s it’s it’s cultural uh I think that you know it’s difficult when you start looking for accuracy from football chance it’s just you know let’s just look for accuracy

From our from our from you know uh broad sheet uh football writers I think that would be one thing let’s start there before we get to the the stands of the ter we are getting to the level of political discourse where I expect someone to say 5.7% unemployment bite your arm off for

That or bite your arm off with that b your arm off for 5.7% um 60 Minutes Darwin Nunes came in actually more chanting took the field to to chance of you’re just a Andy Carrol um I think in the movies they call that foreshadowing naum Forest fans

We all knew what was going to happen next didn’t we as soon as they sang it but the game stayed goalless um felt like going into 90th minute big point for forest in the course of their season within touching distance for them klopp started to lose his mind on the sideline

But into the 90th the board went on for eight added minutes which which did feel I think a forest fan texted me and said that mate of mine said oh we’re in play until Liverpool score territory how little um she knew Forest fans then had another reason to see referee Paul TIY um

According to ifab laws made a a huge mistake um gave Liverpool goalkeeper kellerer the ball to restart play you know when they just drop at the goalkeeper’s feet after the game we’ve been stopped for a collision crucially between kellerer and his Liverpool teammate canate um when Hudson adoi

Forest had been in possession um it should by the rules of the game be a forest unchallenged drop ball Forest should have got the ball back um Liverpool later argued that tiny made the same legal error in the first half but but without the same high stakes

Context um I mean that that that was that that was a it was a I mean that was a terrible mistake D got to say it was a mistake in law right not just in decision making that’s what makes that really really hard in terms of process

You have a stoppage to the game there is so much time to get that call right there are people in your a fourth official in your ear the other two officials the assistants in your ear no doubt the people at you know Bletchley Park or whatever it is like in your ear

You’ve got everybody um talking to you to for you to get that right and the ball should have gone to Forest and I thought it shocking absolutely a shockingly poor decision yeah I mean imagine you also got Julia Roberts in your ear and and St gotta why can’t we all just you know

What we that’s the way you fix it get every fan who’s watching in the referees here that’ll sorted out immediately that would be fair and but that would be if if every team could have a delegate a fan that they put in the ear of the referee throughout the game that would

Be I don’t want to listen to that um seriously Ro it’s quite boring but this is a checklist decision this is literally before you restart you literally run through a checklist of what are the what are the situation here who was in possession of that ball oh it

Was Forest we better give the ball back to for it’s so easy to get right this is why I don’t understand yeah and also your point is this is not like a a hand ball decision which is you know always subjective this is an objective rule

That was not followed um it was it was a blow and law uh really hard to stomach for as we’ll discuss uh for Forest uh up and down the organization the other thing was that we were 36 seconds over the initial eight minutes um when all of

This went down that was to come that happens often to be fair but a Liverpool Corner cleared by Forest Callum Hunton the do and a onee could have honestly just hacked it away but tried to play it out their own box on the break they lost control to possibly the worst

Person on the Liverpool team to hand the ball to in moments like that Alexis mallister aka the Brighton player that Chelsea did not pay 100 Mil for but should have done so really the rare player who almost becomes Karma Under Pressure um and he clipped an instinctively Exquisite lethal ball

Straight into the forest nerve center Doren Nunes AKA yes him Andy Carol Falling Away over another Liverpool reject Nico Williams death flick snap of the neck cunning clinical improvisational Wonder made the ball drop just inside the post DAV I’m old enough to remember when Darwin Nunes was

Seen as a meme Lord um but this this was an extremely subtle difficult finish of a tender lover conjured in just in an immense hour of need it was magnificent yeah a minute of need um and situationally a magnificent goal he scores so many different types of goals

Darwin Nunes um but the fact that he can you know show the um the guile to get free at that moment and you know get up and and meet that ball first and glance it into the side of the net yeah fantastic fantastic goal and shouldn’t take anything away from Liverpool you

Know the the game is still running yes they were given the ball and they but they found the way to win and and Liverpool this is the mentality monsters um they’ll find a way to punish you another weekend another insane Late Late Show celebration this time for Darwin

Actually on the field of play watching him celebrate you see Virgil Van D in the celebrations pull Darwin aside and point to all the Liverpool fans the away fans are losing their minds um seem to tell Darwin um that he did this that he made them just so effervescent um and

That’s who he’s playing for and again I watched on in Marvel I’ve got to say this as an evertonian for whom football is like a weekly poke in the eye just just just one of the most remarkable things let me find the right words for this about Liverpool witnessing them in

This era in this moment in which football you know we talk about it we laugh about it but it’s true football’s ever more about money um winning can feel so bloody mechanical um you know where winning we talked about Manchester City the winning feels inevitable or places like PSG where they’ve spent all

That money brought in all the massive players have a president who’s self-dealing on every UFA board just broking power to win um you know winning can feel like it’s just completely about Regional power geopolitical power Financial power uh football power um watching Liverpool this past eight days

It’s a reminder football can still be quite joyous it can winning can still be hilarious it can be human it can be fun again I mean I was watching it it was like it felt like a single scoop of vanilla day for Liverpool fans and then Darwin just dialed up the rocky road

With rainbow sprinkles I I say it again Life as a Liverpool fan which half my family are D it must be I can’t even imagine I can’t even imagine dve it must be unreal yeah I mean these are superb moments and in it’s where football it was a day that Liverpool weren’t very

Good frankly um for 98 and a half minutes of this of this game certainly the better team but they weren’t at it wasn’t the the level that we’ve expected from this club but the heart and it’s just pure heart it’s pure heart married with obviously some brilliant technique

At the end that gets them that goal and you know my only asterisk I’ll put on it is this was the 27th game game of the Premier League season there’s 11 more to go and you can Peak a little bit too early and at a certain point all of this

Adrenaline all of this emotion there tends to be that Newtonian law to every action is an equal and opposite reaction they can’t keep on summoning these wins and these moments just from Pure emotion and mentality and from heart at a certain point surely I could be wrong

But surely it’s got to catch up with them you you need to win from another organ kidney or a lung maybe something maybe a leg an appendix yeah them take it out sir um by the way I say it was fun slightly less fun for noty and

Forest um an incredible shot from nun is losing his mind the camera went to Nuno the Wolves manager just stunned somber head down just Zen pose of suppressed shock and anger demoralized his assistant coach Stephen Reed got a red for his protest Forest owner evangelist marinakis the Greek shipping Finly dodgy

Magnet storm the field um as if it was the Greek leag where that kind of thing’s common if you Google greek yeah Greek Google is Greek owner storm field gun it it was not evangelist on on that day but you get a sense of where that comes from and I hope it

Doesn’t become acceptable behavior in the Premier League um but Forest then did something arguably worse um they sent out Mark clattenburg longtime listeners will remember clatts um former superstar how would you say Superstar referee um now returned after spending time in Saudi Arabia Egypt China refering um he also is the kind of

Slightly heish ref I’ve been told on the British version of Gladiators like crap you know but he’s now a refereeing consultant to Nati and Forest um and they sent him out um up front to be Forest spokesperson In This Moment In the Mix Zone which is normally where the

Players speak to the media there was clatz again talking about the mistaken application of the rules he said the owner’s quite upset because they fought and he’s invested a lot of money we want to see results and he feels another decision has gone against the football

Club quite rightly he’s upset D what do you make of it all this Mark clattenburg new role in football essentially essentially this the Greek owners fluffer I think every Club will end up doing it you do every Club every Club will find somebody um that’ll be it be

Everon will be Paul tiny I don’t know the rules here I am Paul think Paul is you’re imagining that Everton going to put somebody who’s actually worked as a ref in the Premier League it could be could be could be anyone R um it could

Be Betto by the end of the season I think Everton like Everton be ref we need a ref let’s let’s get Dennis ly wasn’t he in that movie The Ref he it all I don’t know they’ve got the ly money 777 they’ll get us ly oh they

Definitely got enough money for Larry I mean it seems shocking but nothing surprises me in football and referees basically being for sale in order to go and be the spokes people for their for their teams at the end of games I mean yeah so I think it’s funkers like I

Understand the idea of specialist coaches throwing coaches set piece coaches but have a are now a referee spokes put what what’s next AA will will teams hire hire like broadcasting Consultants like let’s get one of the two Robbies on payroll to counter bre Gary Neville’s broadside attack both

Robbies amazing yes couldn’t afford US spite your arm off for a Robbie ever I get Kyle Martino yeah we love Dennis lirry and KY Martin that’ be amazing God bless Kyle by way I just say I’m gonna say this all seriousness football teams should invest their money in more traditional ways um everything

They’re going to get all white aren’t we oh okay that’s our future but invest your money in more traditional ways that’s what I’m asking you like like good no why would you want for good lawyers to fight the that’s very true very true matters um we got a C

Liverpool very quickly first win for them at Forest in the Premier League year I think that first win in 40 years in LM another late winner another late winner from substitute um 21 goals 22 assists from clock Changers this season which is insane no team has more one

Point clear at the top of the table um 44th 90th minute winning goal Liverpool has scored in Premier League 12 more than any other side 18 of those under yuran klopp we talk about mentality monsters but it is bloody real it’s more than a nickname um to me it’s the

Greatest intangible of the club era I’m gonna ask Andy Robertson about it because I’m fascinated they brought in these neuroscientist they a neuro 11 um which sounds like the other 10 neuros were already taken um on Twitter but they’ve had these sessions on remaining calm during the eye of the storm um and

I’m fascinated to to know more about this Late Late Show another one in time added on of Wonder y klopp left to La laugh last um said about Forest singing about Darwin nunz being a Andy Carrol he said honestly I would not sing a song like that I would never try to

Wind dorwin up God speed roll on next weekend Everton gets 777 a bunch of ambulance chasing lawyers allegedly and uh Liverpool get neuro 11 a bunch of neuroscientists yeah literally fair enough bite your o off get us Dennis lir and all they won’t you’ll be laughing on

The other side of your face LS okay Tottenham 3 Palace one Papa anes push for a Champions League spot continues with a vital comeback win against the Eagles after a scoreless first half it was the visitors who went ahead courtesy of an Ever reachi E’s 25 yard free kick

Taken with all the casualness of a penalty but Spurs stormed back thanks to an equalizer from a man whose shop map looks like a Jackson poock p teimo verer A Romero header and a Sonny Insurance strike spurs in fifth place Five Points of Aston Villa spur have won the previous eight

Home games against Palace by combined SCS was it like 17 goals to one um but Rich charison out for a couple of weeks with a knee injury really laboring in attack real lack of tempo Sonny frustrated hit one off the post Teo Vera blew the best chance in classic Teemo

Styler half field oneon-one just blown at the last as he kind of ran out of ideas by the time he got to the keeper and just kind of fired his his 12 goaler shot straight at the man really an Agony for a gent who looked like in that

Moment that he had the engine of a Ferrari but no steering wheel so when Palace who pick their moments to cter of a plum took the lead through a stunning AA free kick won by him thrashed home by him just a true poem they were you not

Looking at because I know who I was a new Palace manager Oliver Glassner as if he was the best Austrian since Kristoff Waltz I mean it was just like new your manager springed y Palace singing yeah Palace and playing well and you know matching Spurs you know position for

Position across the field I mean a really really good performance by them um certainly until you know the final um the final quarter of the match yeah Spurs looked like they were about to St a second successive Premier League defeat in the face very few ideas against a palace low block that

Effervescent football of the first phase of the Season really a tormenting memory and in a time of real fear Palace though have conceded 19 goals in the last 15 minutes of games this season it’s remarkable um and it was a late late Wilt of of true catastrophic proportion

Here two goals in three minutes turn the game the first like watching water turn into wine Teo verer scored a big boy goal I’m not making this up his first for Spurs yes it was it was an open goal from seven yards out fed by Brenan Johnson Teemo did try to miss he

Couldn’t miss I’m so happy for him hope it gives him the confidence to believe and do more um then a ball lobbed into Romero Dunkey on Joe Ward um late on charge to and Leal finish suddenly after 70 minutes of underwhelming existential fear and they I will say a large degree

Of self-loathing at Tottenham Stadium Club angur rupted score felt great even though the performance was not Spurs you know the Vibes are immense must be hard for their fans Hearts only side to recover 18 points from losing positions in this campaign proper cardiac kids big

An no doubt will look at the first 17 minutes with Fury last 11 with an element of relief Spurs remain in Touching distance a villa in four five points back a game in hand and who do they play next weekend in the stealth massive Premier League game of that

Match day Dave playing Tom Hanks mob Bring It On well amazing uh e will’ll always have E’s free kick though that was a a marvelous moment not in Tottenham setpiece defending but uh for for for Palace it was it was a great moment uh Luton two Aston Villa three

And olle Watkins first half brace had Villa cruising early at the Kenny but was only a flesh wound for the Hatters who struck twice in the second half in a span of six minutes to level the score it’s a great game actually the first in the 66th minute V Tommy Chong’s third

Cousin twice removed tahi Chong quickly followed by a Colton Morris equalizer of an Alfie Dy laser set piece but it was Everton Sleeper Agent Lucas D who played Hat’s Heartbreaker heading home the winner for Villa in the 89th minute both teams Stan Pat Villa in fifth Luton oh

In that final relegation place in 18th and oie Watkins double seven goals in his last six games he said it’s an amazing story I kind of want to pinch myself the time I’m just enjoying it I love his approach to life but his goals were not the winners credit loon they

Lost the game ground their way back into it and lost it again crowded the Kenny losing their minds after two looten setpiece goals gave them hope but in this relegation Zone where there’s now a constant dread and dead leggedness kicking in across all teams hope only

Leads to shattered hope theb a poem of cross arked and dangerous and there to headed in first goal since November 2022 oh beautiful Lucas Dina still doing it for Everton gfop TNC tweeted Kazo blood is thicker than water oh the villains um four consecutive defeats in the league

Now fut and D massive run of games ahead against Crystal Palace Bournemouth and Forest if I wasn’t an Everton fan I would say I admire so much their pluck and I wish him well but I am so I won’t yeah it’s hard not to root for Lon

Unless you’re an Everton fan this season okay brenford to Chelsea 2 after a really bright first half in which Nico Jackson put Chelsea ahead 1 nil they capitulated allowing a pair of bees goals as far apart on aesthetic Spectrum as is possible but proof well B Bal

Spectrum pretty close but proof they all count the first a scrapper poked home by mads rosf and the second an act of levitation a swiveling overhead kick from yoan Visa but even after what looked like an epic pants crapping Chelsea were able to find an equalizer fearing 83rd minute Axel The Sassy

Header Chelsea keep treading water in 11th we’re very good at Treading Water Rog the bees meanwhile stop a three game losing skid oh six short days after losing at Wembley and Agony Chelsea again struggling in humiliating fashion two on down two relegation fighting brenford blue billion pound bottle job

To Electric bugalo the pain really accentuated by the Brilliance of that second brenford strike by by wha just Google weisa bicycle left foot flung at the ball right foot strike in it oh just exclamation point Wonder Q Chelsea away fans really the hardcore who travel everywhere with a team unleashing quote

Lud chance against both their manager Po chatino and Todd Burley how dare they at Alan Smith tweeted Chelsea fans are working through a full album of fume chance of Jose Mourinho and Roman abramovic’s names mixed with Bly you’re a seword and F off maricio oh and a bit

Of Bob Marley sprinkled in what do you make you it yeah you say the the Chelsea hardcore traveling fans they’ve traveled all of four miles down the West way to get to brenford uh it’s not a difficult Journey um I mean look I think Chelsea you know since the carabel cup we you

Know struggled to a 3-2 win against Leeds in the uh FA Cup fifth round and then this game I mean this is sort of the level that Chelsea are at and I imagine it would be the same level if Mourinho was there it’s a very similar points tally to last season under gr

Potter it didn’t finish as well I think Chelsea will end up with more SE points at the end of the season there have been some signs of life this has been a better uh Chelsea team in 2024 than it has been uh previously but that’s not

Saying a lot but you know this is sort of our level a 2-2 draw at a difficult Club to go and play at for Chelsea brenford that’s sort of our level we’re not an team if I’m paraphrasing what you just said the thing that surprised you was that they

Sprinkled in some Bob Marley is what you said yeah exactly that was very sophisticated for them I will say the idea of Chelsea fans wanting uh willing Mourinho to come back again to their Club is so self-destructively wonderful um I just welcome it and would love it

To be come to this is I think it would be fair to say that this is a vocal minority I don’t believe that this this represents the majority of the Chelsea fan base but to Bley if you’re listening to this podcast please that that is a vocal majority about that would be

Incredible by the way um God bless Cole Palmer creating the goal uh equalizer for D sassy um you the kind of goal where you say the players are still fighting for their manager asked about the angry reaction post game Maro said no I’m not worried we need to accept

Someone asked me do you feel the love from the fans no we need to build our relationship between the coaching staff the coach and the fans I felt for poch he’s a lovely man they vote as his 52nd birthday on Saturday too will he be coaching at Chelsea Football Club when

He turns 53 David look I think that at the end of the season I think the points tally for Chelsea at the end of the season and the performance in the FA Cup is significant um they got a pretty kind draw I think in the next round against Leicester City

Um you know I think that Chelsea want to be able to say there is progress since last season and I think beating beating last season’s points tally which they should be on course for even though they have a similar points Tally from last year Chelsea finished so badly at the

End of last season I think Chelsea should be in a better place you know who knows I think they’ll have a decent they’re pretty set up to play Cup football um they’ve uh their fixture list seems to be you know mid until the end of the season i’ sayle and next well

They yes but then they’ve got a slightly easier R they they’ve got a mixture of fixtures but until the end of the season they’ve played more games on the road um they’ve played two less games at home than they have on the road right now so I think Chelsea are going to finish

Around eighth in this table an eighth place finish better than last season a decent FA Cup run will that be enough to to save him maybe it really depends on how many more seaword the fans are singing about the owners because at a certain point it’s the owners who are

Far more than the managers in these situations it is amazing you spend a billion pound on the team and you called a word I know turn on a those are your last words on your death bed you’re like I spent a billion pounds on that te and I still got called a seaword

Seword I know it’s uh who would own a football club who would own a football club um okay Fulham three Brighton nil talking of an owner who’s been called to seaword a battling that’s been happening on Seaside holidays for ages Cottages against seag girls and in this case The

Cottages come out on top fantastic performance actually it started with a pinpoint effort from World War I officer Harry Wilson’s Wembley revolver continued by Rodrigo mun’s fifth goal in five games wow he’s good and capped by enemy of refined carbohydrates everywhere a Dharma trior foram in 12th

Place Brighton in ninth Marco silv’s mob win this one in some style Roger yeah Harry Wilson opened this scoring um and I realized even bloody former Liverpool child stars are just banging them in these days this was a ROM for Fulham there’s the brighten of our imagination

And then there’s a brighten of current reality deser be still very coveted as a manager left just banging his face into his hands in agony so much of of what was great has really evaporated of late for him 19-year-old Evan Ferguson really a symbol of the whole size loss of form

17 games without scoring now bright play in the Europa League round of 16 this week against Roma it’s incredible Bren against Roma just Magnificent the Zerby though against his friend Roma’s new manager Danielle D Rossi the two actually spoken beautifully they have daughters who are friends who live in

London together they actually met going to watch Roma matches at the London Roma club which I just love um the Rossy said I imagine his daughter will not have a Roma scarf on when we next meet wellow okay three wolves nil another great performance the magpies turned this one

Into a horror show at St James’s Park pecking at wolves with hitch cocky and Zeal the first blow came from the Slick swed Alexander isak heading home a Bruno gares deflection in the 14th minute like a bejond borg volley at the net Ginger Benedict Arnold Anthony Gordon I can’t

Believe that I have to call him Ginger Benedict Arnold now Anthony Gordon kept the tune party going in the 33rd minute to make it 2-n and it was the best Tino since Martinez Tino lamento another one we let go by the way putting the final nail in the wolver Hampton coffin with a

92nd minute finisher great run on that Newcastle hopped to eighth place in the table while wolves dropped to 10th life there Newcastle first clean sheet um first home victory of 2024 really uh attributable as much to wolves being so bad on this day it was like they weren’t

Playing wolves it’s like they were just playing like wolf singular um T have been leaking goals of late played cautiously tactically forid in flurries on the counter clinically Anthony Gordon pains me maybe he was right to leave I’m stunned to think he was right maybe it was us God he was

Unplayable in this one just isaak’s going his 11th on the season injury blighted season two lamento went Dance Dance Revolution at the death and after a week rightly spent praising Wolf’s manager Gary O’Neal it was honestly the much maligned Eddie har who deserved the plaudits after this one his Newcastle

And the weekend ahead of wolves with a European place again close enough for them to smell it yeah fantastic performance Burnley nil Bournemouth 2 the cherries traveled North to Turf Moore to take on the lowly Clarence and it was footballing Jaden Smith Justin cver who opened the scoring for

Bournemouth making his daddy proud with a beautiful 13th minute finish antoan seeno bookended the match for the cherries with an 88 minute slapper to make it 2-nil Bournemouth hopped to 13th while Vinnie company’s men stay stuck in the drop with only 13 points on the season booze rang out at Burnley 11

Games left 11 points a drift from safety 11th home defeat at the season 11th out of 14 home games what a miserable Journey bereft of really of happy memories at all for the Clarett fa4 um who’ve seen their team draw a blank again Mega 13 goals scored in those 14

Home games 34 leak um but for your Las Vegas golden War cherries a first win of 2024 you can almost hear their fans out take a breath of the final whistle as they sang we are staying up we are staying up and oh after a season of

Darkness turned to light turn to more of a wobble I think than they care to admit honestly it’s magnificent and I’m delighted that Bournemouth are going to be Premier League for another season okay Everton one West Ham three despite missing a penalty and then taking the lead anyway Everton collaps at home

Allowing an equalizer and a pair of oh injury time goals a lot of credit to the irons and they’re very per goalkeeper here but with the Premier League handing out Point deductions left and right this was a massive opportunity missed I would say God what Have We Become David really

Honestly um we have won this is stats we have one more often in the courtroom um than we have on the field um in the last two months we have not won in the Premier League since December the 16th but we did and we talked about it

In the last pod last Monday we grabbed those precious four deducted points back yeah probs only so they can be taken away again but let’s not go there yet um to the match against our old dad David Moyes God it was so wonderful I love him I’m

So fond of him is Humanity um I was delighted he had the chance to to bring misery to the Everton faithful once again for Old Time sake um game at the outset was about poor Betto started in place of dro Doom Dominic calv L handsome man’s 20 games now without a

Goal uh it became the Betto Miss show um have you watched Betto much David a little bit a little bit I watched this penalty a few times and that certainly confused me well I just love watching it my son actually has a Betto shirt um and

I just love watching him he tries so hard to be physical in almost like a cartoonish comical way I also believe I can’t confirm this but I do believe he’s asked Hummel for a special jersey with collars that the twice the size of everyone else’s um which doesn’t Inspire

Confidence in this decision making but you’re right we won our first penalty of the Season Kurt Zumer moved his arm towards the ball off of Betto cross and anyone who is a human and be has watch Betto play would not have let him anywhere near the ball to take this pen

Honestly it’s always negligent I actually my my experience watching him take the penalty in real time put it on Instagram it’s almost negligent to send that man to the spot um it’s never a good sign when the human being about to take the penalty um is is absolutely

Crapping himself and the goalkeeper um is is Shaw and utterly confident about saving it that’s always a bad sign right David that com well I mean for one thing the way that Betto lined up to take the penalty he could only possibly hit it to one half of the goal though he

Took it was good for I mean the keeper I think couldn’t believe it because it was so clear that he was going to go and hit it to you know to the goalkeeper left as it came that that it it became easier became an easier job for him when it was

Only half the goal he had to defend in I think Betto was just in his mind he wasn’t thinking which side I think he was just like I kick it Forward right forward forward forward sideways sideways acceptable sideways acceptable forward best forward forward good they told me forwards good I mean

It was a feeble kick gfop and not Spencer P tweeted I for one was pleasantly surprised it was on target yeah um someone wrote on Everton Instagram and I love this they wrote I see glimpses of speed in bet which made me laugh more than I care

To admit um Betto became the 23d different player to fails to score a premier league penalty for Everton only Arsenal 24 have had more in the premier league history um I do Wonder Shan D if you’re watching just let our our super silk our lawyer Lawrence rubinovitz take

Our penalties from now on we can have that happen can you imagine DAV letting our Bara on the field in his wi super silk I love it yeah he never misses um second off we should let our referee consultant take our penalties excuse me we’re gonna subm in what yeah we l take

The penalties no we’re going to sub L out now but all white to take I feel more confident honestly second half I was like DAV what during halftime I was like I turned around to my kids I was like why do we watch this it makes me

Miserable it does my second older son bear said back he goes Dad it’s like I have double algebra on a Wednesday and I hate it he goes watching and it’s Str I was like oh my God watching your favorite team with your dad every week is like double alera

That’s like I was like why is this this our thing like why did I not just decide that Lads let’s just every Saturday let’s just all meet we’ll sit on the couch and then just once we’ll punch ourselves in the D ballow as a family I mean quick less painful painful

Yes exactly I might and then while I was thinking about this Garner swung over a deep deep cross into the Kenny loggin danger zone Betto Betto leapt up and with his meaty Portuguese forehead a little bit of shoulder um I realized he should have taking a penalty with his

Head but that’s a story for another time wouldn’t that be amazing if just like be incredible but it went in um you know sort of banged off his shoulder then he banged his shirt told the Everton fans he was going nowhere knee slide and it must have felt magnificent and David I

Was like I turned to my son I was like I was like this is why we watch this is why we do the double algebra on a Saturday this is why we punch ourselves in the down belows because occasionally occasionally it feels amazing you’re also oh no better is not leaving he’s

Staying he’s staying by the way God Dennis Larry taking all penos angrly smoking a heater and talking about Irish discrimination make that happen with you’re s77 but right then what do we have we had something precious to lose and it took us 360 seconds 360 and it

Took 360 seconds for us to go down all hands on the ship James Wood PR set piece onto Zuma’s head great cross peeled off Godfree great Eder into the no s um God bless you should have put the game away truth be told we had arola the West Ham keeper pulling off immense

Saves such had a deep dig off the line and then Everton once they reach stoppage time I think we kind of decided to quite quit but I hadn’t noticed that 91st minute again I turned to my kids I said honestly I’ll take a point you know

That when if the game’s over and your mind you’re like you’re just brushing the crumbs off your pant you’re I’ll take a point I I just said that to about crap you’re not and the second I said it cudas drove a deep deep cross to Thomas such which he struggled to control with

His chest at the for post and then he just went f it drilled it into the goal did you see this goal sh off screamer yeah it was it was it was fantastic it meant so much to the lad well if you gave such a hundred times David how many

Times you think he could actually do this um the goal not ripping the shirt off I think that either I think maybe um it’s sort of one out of a 100 uh for the goal and I would say that the shirt off I mean and I think that he he would take

His shirt off one out of every hundred goals this one was so extraordinary for him to score his only natural reaction was to take the shirt off I mean it’s like gone that show gone that show has he scored another goal even mly like that since the one he did against us I

Mean Everton aren’t we then at the very death we had a corner you know I posted this analysis on Instagram I can’t live it again just watch my James Garner professional footballer hit the first man we got to take it again don’t know why but they let him take it again hit

The first man again regain control and just decided sod it I’m gonna just pass it to only a speeding Jared B and just tapped it to him charged up a g ditched it to Edson Alvarez dink 3-1 West Ham by the way off expected goals Everton

2.70 West Ham 1.73 we managed to lose 3-1 D here’s my conclusion we are the most unrelenting tale of wo in the history of football Everton football club honestly it’s like a weekly visit to the Willy Wonka chocolate experience in GL glasg yeah we just all we did

We’re designed to make kids cry I mean that’s what we do my friend Scott lifelong blue talk about him a lot on this show texted me he said the following this is a direct quote he said I can see the football Gods over beers on a Friday night rubbing their hands

With Glee seeing how far they can push the narrative last night they were like f it let’s finally give the poor sods a penalty of course better will miss it then we’ll have him mat score one off his shoulder but fim in injury time a worldy from a player who never scores

Worldies that’ll do it one God says nah that’s not enough let’s e him with two goals and injury time they cackle oh go on then David I believe that happened Everton have underperformed expected goals more than any other side this season we are minus 12.5 nearest to us

Brenford and Chelsea uh 5.4 minus 5.1 we are we are we’re leading this a lot um we have zero wins in 10 games United Bournemouth Newcastle all the way next at this point I bite your arm off for double Al yeah I think you’re going to

Be okay though when it comes down to it because the other teams around you are going to get Point deductions as well and you’re going to you’re going to stay up to live another year of this nightmare oh I want to get a mug that says Lawrence rabinovitz super silk he’s

Our MVP is he also representing the Wonka experience in Glasgow I think that would be a oh no under Scottish law he’s probably not allowed to go north by way I genuinely think it’s probably more joyful just taking your kids having them cry quickly at the Wonker experience and

Making them cumulatively watch the Journey of an everon season but you guys be the judge okay before we go a quick reminder about everything we got happening at men Blazers this week powered by Michelob ult Superior light beer it starts tomorrow with a brand new episode of European nights with Roy

MIB pet hamster needing a Dean rice esque heat map to keep the wheel spinning and the lights on on his little trundling wheel can you finish us off with a toast roia what raise a final toast this Michelob Ultra of joy to AFC Wimbledon the league two side who on

Saturday faced up to MK Dons the controversial team who originally Wimbledon FC but relocated North in 2002 so I mean yes I know it happens all the time in American Sports but it never happens in English football that teams move and so when AFC Wimbledon was set

Up by fans in response started from zero in the combined counties League English football’s ninth tier Rose to the divisions and my friend John Green um the great novelist of traumatic uh sadness and pain he became involved with the club he sponsored their shorts um and they eventually reached the football

League rexam style in 2011 to this game which Wimbledon players fired up by their fans they’re finally facing oh the enemy just the opposite of everything that they are they are like MK Don of Darkness the players brought into the meaning of the game they dominated totally without scoring until the 94th

Minute when the ball found the feet of 27y old Irishman Ronan Curtis and he banged home the winner Q just joyful scenes of wonder that were life affirming Magnificent the noise of the goal you can find out in our social it’s what letting go of 21 years of hurt

Sounds like John Green was actually at the game I’m not going to lie I teared up watching footage of him watching the spectacle and The Wimbledon fans around him just celebrating the winner they didn’t know what to do with their hands and he tweeted post game on manager
