The Daily Zeitgeist - FA Kush

Episode Date: January 13, 2026

This week it’s FA Cup Third Round, PL and secret nightclubs and bad fake IDs at Stamford Bridge!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They don't call it the FAA Cup for nothing. That doesn't even make sense what I just said. But it was magical. You know what? And we have to embrace it because what a magical result. Some magical results and some wonderful results and some not so wonderful results. Depending on who you support. Plus, we've got to talk about Match week 21 now.

That felt like Chris, you said 10 years ago, maybe five years ago. Definitely 17,000 text messages ago. With all that, it's time for ain't it. Woody. I'm going to kick it off right now, throwing it to co-host Jamel Johnson. Three to twenty-nine words to describe your feelings around the FAA Cup round three, round three, and the Premier League. I only need two. Side quest. This is big side quest. This is like you're almost done with Final Fantasy and you're going to go play kickball for a little bit or something. You know, like everybody's kind of getting their XP up, getting their cash, extra points, things like this. XP farming.

They're XP farming. It's XP farming. Everybody on Man City scored. Except for Holland. I mean, Chelsea's got a new manager, and I'm glad it's a brother, but he very clearly is a character from a Grand Theft Auto DLC. He very clearly looks like he was running a business. in fake Miami. Oh, wow, yeah.

Or like it feels like, yeah, like an off-brand Gus Spring or something, you know? Yeah, man, listen. Just vaguely ethnic enough. And in terms of me watching week 21, I was in the central coast of California for all of Week 21.

Wow. I'm watching games at the Madonna end. Oh, watching things in San Luis Obispo. Oh. I'm downtown slow watching matches. Wow. I'm in, I'm at resorts. I'm in Big Sir hanging out with the cow with the free cow.

Wow. Damn, with the cast of, what is it, big little lies out there? Yeah, man, I'm in the hot tub watching one of the worst draws in Arsenal history. You and Reese. You and Reese. Yeah. She a big gooner. Yeah, you know that.

There she is now. You know that. Chris Martin, how about you? Three to 20, I'll give you 26 words to describe your feelings around FAA Cup, third round. Amst you 21? Two words. Purple nightclothes. is Purple Nightclub.

I was telling you boys before. I used to go to Purple Nightclub, for those you don't know, as a nightclub inside Chelsea football stand underneath the seats. This is crazy. I used to go when I was 15, and the FA Cup,

it reminded me of those beautiful nostalgia days. When the FA Cup meant something, McElhorsfield Town made it feel relevant again. And then I guess on the side, Man City winning 10-1 wasn't so good, but it brought me back to my formative years of watching football at first I was like this is annoying

like this is in the way of why I really care about the Premier League but actually magic and fair fake me, mate, me grinding against the woman who is well out of my league sorry that took a turn oh my God I was just about to ask what's your style

you're 15th you're coming in with a nice sweater on gold chain on top yeah because no trainers right no trainers yeah no trainers that was the big rule back then you do my trainers because that rule was like only people and trainers stop put us there what's going on yeah so you're in the

You're pulling up to purple neck club. I'm wearing, I'm wearing brown shoes with boot cut jeans. I'm probably wearing a, I'm probably wearing a fleece, which makes no sense. Okay. If not a badly fitting shirt, I might have straight in hair, there might have highlights in it. Straight hair, no. Like you were an S Club 7 or some shit? Go on, son.

So the way I got into the nightclub, I didn't go through puberty, so obviously I looked at 12. But what I did was I had a passport scan, a scan of my passport. where I swapped on Photoshop, I just swapped the year 6 and 86 for one. And the voucher in you, he knew.

Oh my God. He's just like, listen, man, it's way easier for me to just let this child in and then do my job. Get in here, man. You know what, bro? I don't want to make it hot for you, bro, because I know you a damn child.

This guy ain't starting to fight. We have an easy shit. This guy can't even lift his own fist up. Honestly, and I salute you for being 15 and gluing that much hair to your face. You glued that on. The bouncer probably assumed your mom was working at the club, and this was just like, you couldn't get a babysitter.

What a man? My mom was one of the dancers in a cage. Wait, are you Rochelles, son? Yeah, all right. Yeah, you're like free. Yeah, she couldn't get a sitter for the night. I actually was, I really wanted to get off of a girl back then who I really was attracted to.

But I got a zip. on the way, like that day, and you know, and you're like 15 or Zitz, the end of the, like, I already have no chance in a high end of the time. I'm like,

this is stopping me from getting a lovely kiss from a lady. And I picked the spot and it, it just, you know, if you ever do it, this is, I've made this 15 times worse. Right.

So I saw her, I tried to style it out by saying, my mom accidentally put a cigarette out. Whoa! Oh my God. That's such a man, like, auto response.

Just like, Yeah. Make it sound like, I had a deal with violent. Oh, oh, I'm so sorry. She must have, this is an insane.

The bouncer's like, yeah, that's classic Rochelle. That's what she does. Yeah, man. She stubbed out silk cups on a 15-year-old's lips. So,

what is it? Yeah, man, my mom be putting cigarettes out. I mean, like, yeah. Nothing sexier than a woman knowing it comes from a, yeah.

Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, I love a broken blood. don't I. Come on in. Fix me.

For me, I have a few words. I don't know how. It's been the longest one and God bless this show because that's what it's here for. Tottenham do better. Okay? And the reason because is y'all, come on, man. You guys are so, you're getting, you're so out of it right now, you're boring. And the supporters, I've seen some wacky things from Tottenham supporters, some that I know

personally, I'm afraid for y'all, but also this is getting boring. Get it together. I forgot about that. Thomas Prank. Thomas Prank. Thomas Prank. There you go, Thomas Prank. Starting an espresso business with Arsenal. He's doing a little cross-over

with us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, yes as fuck. That's instant, Zach, about it. You know Tottenham are doing so badly when an Arsenal fan doesn't even mock him. You said it's sorry for you. Well, yeah, because it's not funny anymore. Yeah, it used to be like you guys were never better.

I mean, you all were better than us for a few seasons. But historically, we've always just had the upper hand. But sometimes you were just close enough that it felt like, you know, when you're holding like someone's head while they try and swing on you and their arms can't reach, or a couple times like you felt their knuckles grazing, like, okay, that's fun. But now it's like not even funny, bro. You're not even reaching my elbow.

A child with no arms back and it feels mean. Right. Paraplegic child is being. Not even. I'm holding a, I'm holding a topeie in a Tottenham jersey. It's nothing. I'm like, what is this? The fuck is this, man? Used to be something. Oh, man.

Anyway, but also Loki, I love it. No, Haiky, you just heard it. I am so excited. But let's get into the F.A. Cup results. The third round, historic result, where holders, Crystal Palace, have fallen to McElwesfield. Now, what division is Macclesfield in? Mcclesfield, they're not even in a league division. They were disbanded in 2020.

Disbanded? Yeah, they didn't exist. They literally lost all their money, and they kept getting fined. Then it was during COVID. They couldn't get any people to come watch them. So literally it died after being a club for 1874, so 126 years down there. the toilet.

And they are in, I think it was Northern League 6. It's the biggest gap, like place difference in, in FAA Cup history. There are 117 places below Crystal Palace in the league system. And obviously Crystal Palace are the holders.

So extra, like, special thing. But yeah, and yeah, it's just the craziest story ever. Holders indeed. They also played the A team,

right? Like, it was, they, they, he was out there. but still giant upset. Yeah, too one.

That pitch was wild. That looked like a community college in L.A. They rushed the field like it was a car. It's a 5G field, right? Which is a bit of an equalizer. But then this is how little money they need the 5G field. No, of course. That's why I'm like.

Monday to Friday, other people, kid, they just rent the field out for local people to play them. Yeah, no, 100%. I'm like, that was like, that looks like a great time for intramural soccer. in community college. But this, yeah, they, the wild part was those celebrations were nice to see,

obviously, because when you're fucking beating somebody that's 117 places above you, you're gonna lose it a little bit. But like, that's Chris, that's almost like if you were in the line like of succession for the throne and somehow, like it went 117 places down.

It's like the wild, who's 117 places away from the throne? You know what I mean? Like, I thought you said that in a way, like, Like, it's believable that I'm 117. Like, I'm not quite posth of being there, but it's believable. Yeah, but everybody was on that board. Everybody English is, yeah, has a seat.

Like expressions is 1.28. Yeah. No, we're behind about 400 Germans, if anything's to be. Ah, okay. May, that joke would kill with the anti-royalists in the UK. Look, the show's got something for everybody. Okay. Something for everybody.

Wait, so what's, You were talking about, I just know McEltsfield as a word I would see on a screen looking at like a mass board of FAA Cup results over the years. Oh, 5% yeah. They've got like, what happened? Like what happened? Well, you said, you first, he made me laugh in the text. I said, you got to see the McEltsville Palace result guys. And then you said McEltsville Palace also sounds like a wedding venue.

It does sound like a wedding venue. There's Dewsbury Hall and there's Mazelstville Palace. If anyone this. food and deucebring hole not as good, but the photos, you actually get a really good deal on the photo. Yeah, McEltsville Palace, it sounds more photogenic. It actually isn't.

But the name is elegant. Yeah. And they will give you a discounted Friday night rate on the wedding rooms as a bedroom as well as Saturday. A bit of wedding humor for him to spend a lot money on a wedding. Macclesfield, so it's an interesting part of the UK, it's in northwest. It's

quite near Manchester. So a friend of mine on a stag deal, I went out in McElwold with him after his stag do. So again, I'm just charting the UK by places I've got drunk and tried it on and had to pretend I've been burned in the face by my mum as an excuse for not getting any nooky. So they're very near Manchester clubs. They're also quite a little bit.

So they're sort of a small club because they don't attract enough talent because the bigger team is taking it. But they're managed by Wayne Rooney's younger brother, John. That's a real person. That sounds like an insult, you'd say. You'd be like, yo, you look like Wayne Rooney's little brother. Okay. John Rooney.

They got bought in after they went, they basically got, once you get to spend it, you get kicked out of the league. They got bought for $4 million by a guy called Rob Smeatherst, who's a local entrepreneur who did it. He bought it from Wright Move, which is like a property website. It's like Redfin or whatever. He bought it drunk. He was drunk and he just bought it.

I think he went on a vendor and a beast. Four days in I-Bether and he bought him football for $4 million. How did the transaction happen? Like, he just bought it on eBay or something? Just straight off the app, yeah. Wait, for real? I guess. Well, they haven't gotten into the particulars, but.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure you needed some sort of league. I'm sure someone had to whip out a docket sign at some point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not just like tender for boise. That's like, yeah, foot. What'd you do, man? Ah, that by Malcolm's still town?

Oh shit, bro. Hey, check out a pitch on that. Oh, fuck. Or rather, McEltsfield. That's another club. Pardon me. Dude, John Rooney. Oh, man.

Wayne's upset, man. This guy looks like a guy, like a normal guy. Oh, he's got all his hair and stuff? Yeah. His face isn't like spreading slowly? No, no. He doesn't look like the English version of that J.D. Vance meme. Kind of like a white Ninja Turtle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like how you're sort of suggesting. in this that you'd rather be the slightly better looking John Rooney than one of the greatest English players of all times he's got better hairline like I think I'd rather

be a way real I just blame my hairline on my mum if any women asked and then I'd still have loads of money my mum my mum ripped some of my hair out my hair line out with a cigarette mummy Rips the front bit of my hair out

Hey, why your hair plugs look like that? Oh, because my mom put it out. You know, let's be putting cigarettes out on there. My mom burnt him. Oh, shit. Oh, wow. No, no. Yeah, so John Rooney also bought by a guy when he's drunk,

and then sort of just some heart to the story is one of their young strikers, sadly passed away mid-December in a car crash. His last December? His family were in the crowd watching. Oh, my God. And then just like the goal, the first goal is the most English goal. you'll ever see in your life. It's head bandaged,

braided head, scores a header. The bandages were not wrapped that tight either. They were kind of looking a little loose out there. Yeah. It looks like they tied like three tube socks together. And they're like, yeah, make it back out there. He got up for that motherfucker, though. Yeah, yeah, he lost him, bro.

I don't know. The defending was terrible. I think they really, they really pulled up Lack and just been like, bro, McWelsfield. Okay. But yeah. Then you got that second. I'm going to give the guy a shout out. Yeah.

Because that's, that's, he's, what, so his name was, uh, Paul Dawson. And then the second goal, too, was just like, uh, very scrappy. Just throwing a leg out on it and just redirecting. I'm like, you know what? Improvised. You might say. Well, yeah. Yes, exactly.

But that's just, I mean, that's, yeah, that's the thing. I think America, you know in American sports, the idea of a team, 117 places. Oh, we love it. Like, if you're, if you're below 14 places, they just, they just blow up they just disband the team. They just get rid of the team. I mean,

that, the McEltsfield result is like made for March Madness. You know, that's like the kind of thing. CBS sports would fucking cry over being able, like, out of nowhere, look at these people.

All right. Man City 10, Exeter 1. My God. Damn. Do you want to hear an interesting thing about these two different games? Yes.

Crystal Palace, classy club, gave all of their gate receipts to McEltsfield, right? It's sort of a F-A-Cup history thing, right? If you're a rich Premier League club, you don't need, I don't know how much it would be. Oh, right, right.

There's like, 10 grand or whatever. I don't need the gate. Yeah, here you go, yeah. Man City, they kept theirs. Yeah, of course. Owned by an oil nation. I mean, is there any more accurate representation

of how billionaires and rich people act than that? Yeah. Well, the difference between it. Because Crystal Palace, is it English own? Well, I know the chairman. Some sense of decorum, right? What's the chairman called?

He's the guy who Palace Oh, it's a consortium with Woody Johnson of the New York Jets? Yeah. Wow. So 10 goals,

Man City, they clearly were like, Guardiola was like, Go eat my children. Like go out there, like you were saying, Jamel, XP farming, get as many hit points as possible

because we need to get ridden. and then Erling Holland still doesn't fucking score, I think is just kind of amazing to think. Seno in there? Did it happen? Yeah. Samanyo at his new school?

Yeah. No. He looked extremely like he'd been at it. He looked like a lot of people are talking about how he's the sort of player that could catalyze them to winning the Premier League and how he's just what they need. But he took to it like

like he's been there his whole life. And with the caveat they were playing Axis and yeah right exactly but yeah I mean he had I think an assist as well he played you know obviously really well a lot of the goals were like there are some goofy goals that were just sloppy like in terms of Exeter's defending like it just had to get

headed near the goal and somehow someone will kick it off their band and be like oh fuck that just the XG though was only like 2.4 that some of the goals were bangers as well yeah some of the goals are bangers And you're just like, but normally the sort of unwritten rules is you sort of slow it. Once you get five, six goals up, you normally take your foot off the gas. But they just went, they just wanted many goals.

It's crazy. Yeah, they had to spam the circle button for sure. I've never seen a scoreline read like a bus schedule before. Like they're coming at 12, 24, 44, 45. Clockworked. Yeah, exactly. The goal from Exeter, though, George Birch, that was respected. That was tasty.

Welcome to the MLS. man, you've got to get a nice deal from the San Jose earthquakes off this, George. Accepted. Spotted you. We spotted you, man. We spotted you. It did remind me, I sort of, it's that weird thing. Obviously, it's a team.

Once you're losing 9-0, I think, when he scored, then obviously, you know you're not going to. I think he did grab the ball, which was quite funny. I don't think you need the extra 12 seconds you save is going to help. But you can't help but be like, he was like, because it was a quality goal as well. He must be like afterwards. like, I still, nailed it. Like, I played in a charity football game against Stenhouse Muir

for some comedians once, and I think we lost like 10-2, and I was still chuffed, though, got a goal. There you go. You see, you export that as a gift that you start fucking texting people. You're like, you remember this, right? Okay. Yeah, sure, what you guys just move? You're getting your ass beat

by one of the best clubs in the world and you managed to score. What are you doing with the ball? I was going to go first. I'm going to continue to kick the ball in the net. over and over again until the goalie tries to stop me. Yeah. Oh, like, as if you're playing like an arcade game, you're like, what if I just keep kicking it right now?

Does that count two? Is this nine, ten? It would have been funny. You know, when the goalie gets in a wrestling match when it is like two one in a tight, if the goalie had gone nine one and he'd had a full, a full, just get rid of, give out yeah. I would have probably done something like really disrespect, like some, like, the, Degeneration X suck it type shit.

Yeah. Like, fuck with the ball, hump the ball, and then like, what the fuck? Yeah, because it used to be so stupid.

Like, whatever, bro, I got one. It is what it is. There goes your clean sheet. Now I'm humping a ball in front of millions of people again. It's amazing how,

I was just saying, Jamel, though, like, like, I've never, American fair weather sport, not, you know,

non soccer watches, as they would say, non-s soccer. I don't get it, no one's scores. Like, you'd think, oh, this would be,

show them this game. But actually, it got, it gets, boring. Once you get asked five goals you're like this is just meaningless. Yeah, yeah. You've got to, if you have tickets to that around the seventh goal, you're like,

damn, am I even, am I even at a game anymore? Yeah. It is a goal at this point. We doesn't even, the goal is more common than the non-goal. A gateway match to get a non-socker fan into it would be, would probably need about four to five goals in it. But spread out. A good spread. Yeah, great spread

and high drama at the end. Lost minute winner. Exactly. If you can get that, then you can get them on board, then you start dying on. You can get one American to watch? Yeah,

you can take, then you can take it down a little bit. You know what I mean? Get them on that fucking methadone and be like, okay, now you're going to see like a maybe a two one, you know,

then a one nil and see if they can get, you know, slow. Man, you know what? I'm not going to lie. One of the first games that got me hooked

was one of those Arsavvin, Come back. What was the one where he scored four goals? Yeah, the four goals. That's Liverpool. That's Liverpool. That celebration result.

Yeah. Yeah. I still think about that. Do you know, a funny thing I got told about, Arshaven, through a friend who's an agent. So might be true, might not be. For MI6. Apparently, when he first moved to Arsenal, because he came from Russia,

he got told his salary, I'm going to just say it was 120 grand. And then when he got his first paycheck, he was really confused that he had to, any tax on it. It was just like, I just thought that was 120,000 Yeah, under my mattress. I don't know if you know how they did shit back at Zenit. He came from Zenit scenes Petersburg, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was like, I literally just got cash in a bag.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. And some caviars. And it was the number they said. They said, we'll give you this money. That's how much I got. What the fuck is all this? I hope that's true. It's very fun.

I would explain his lack of tracking back. He's like, give me the tax money and I'll run both ways. Hortsmouth one, Arsenal, four, Gabriel Martinelli, the big piece of shit who was pushing our Conner Rabby all over the pound. This motherfucker gets a fucking hat trick, eh? Yeah, got a hat trick. This was a great match to watch after, you know, just like knowing that we obviously, I felt like I didn't feel like this was ever in any doubt. but I do like that they had that early goal because part of me was like, oh, you motherfuckers, okay.

So that's what you want to do? Welcome to Setpiece FC. Every goal. That was full goals technically from a set piece. Yeah. And one from our best player, Owen goal, too. It was like truly everything the Arsenal haters fucking hate about some of the matches we win was right here.

You got a Martinelli hat trick who's been like the villain of the week for everybody. of like, fucking, dege, get me, this motherfucker he gets a hat trick and we get an own goal from a set.

Did you hear what the fans chanted to Martinelli when someone, someone went down with like a hamstring injury. Oh, was in the show him?

Yeah. What were they singing? Shub him, shab him, Gabby, Gabby, yeah. Just,

you got to have a sense humorous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do think you can tell with him that, like,

he's supposed to be quite widely regarded as a nice guy, so the fact that Slot kind of threw water on that fire, straight away and he texted and said he was sorry you know Gary Neville desperately

trying to try not stoke him by saying he was punch him in the face which I don't particularly good advice no also Gary Neville shut up bro you got your own problems go mind your own business started trying to act like this is the fucking place that needs your fucking attention right now but yeah I don't know the Martinelli thing too was a very like to Slott's point he's like I don't think he would have pushed him if you knew he was the one guy who was actually hurt all year, man. Exactly. Come on.

And what? He has like, like knee and bone issue from whatever. That was tough, though, man. That was, once you hit bone with a, with knee. Yeah. Yeah. And he did it on his own, too. It's like, it didn't look good.

I'll be honest. If I'm Barnelli and I saw it, I don't know if I'm touching them. I don't, that would, that one didn't look good. I think it was, it happened behind him or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I went down how it went. I think he just very subtly inched his way onto, I think because Liverpool had a few times

had they'd gone, they were kind of, I mean, Liverpool ultimately had gone for the draw, right? They didn't have a single shot at the goal as much as, I mean, we don't we're going to talk about that game, but everyone's going Arsenal or chokers, but like, they didn't, they did well to null if Arsenal, but they didn't try and shoot at the goal. So at that point in the game,

I think he reasonably could be like, are they just trying to waste time until the end of the game? but yeah obviously if he looked at what we all saw him like that's a terrible decision to put yeah yeah of course done a horrible injury he answered the best way

he answered his critics anyway he did his talking on the field I love that that's what it takes that's all it takes you score three goals you could just be a monster to a guy right after they're like well he answered the critics no he did so you're saying

I feel like if I do do like a like a Nazi salute after goal and they're like, oh my God. And then he got like five goals. They're like, well, he answered his critics. They're like, well, what do you mean? He scored five goals. I don't know about the other shit.

Have you? Yeah, it's just scoring goals. Yeah. But have you found a secret source to make Martinelli score goals? Is in every game he should racially abuse or, or slap someone or spit on someone to the next game. He's got, I've got to score. He needs some controversy. He needs some kind of controversy.

I need to silence my critics with girls. Correct me if I'm wrong. This game goes against the theory that I saw on Twitter that Martinelli only goes at Black Defenders. Yeah. Somebody see this? No, I did see that meme. Yeah, they said he's only...

He only takes on. I remember one time Molo Gusto had his ass one match, I remember. And I was like, this Molo Gusto ass motherfucker. Boy, I mean, does he, I mean, he's light skin. You know, I think that counts. Well, I'll just mention someone else. Madweke. He was a big Madweke game.

One of the worst penalties I ever seen. But he had a good game still somehow. Yeah. Yeah. That penalty was ridiculous. Oh my God, buddy. He took a penalty exactly how I imagine he takes a penalty. As soon as he held the ball.

As soon as I started he's holding the ball. I was like, surely not making this. Yeah, I was like, surely not. He had the confidence, he had the, every element. of it. If you didn't look at where it went, you'd be like, well, he must have just buried that.

And then if you saw just the studded run up, the swag, and then just the lack of end product. Yeah, he's like one of those guys you wear something, you know, into a bar and you're like,

you do realize that that's like, that's horrendous the wearing. Pretty bad, you know. Oh, well, look, we got away with it. Miles Leaskelly almost.

Yeah. He maybe should have gotten thrown off. Am I allowed to say that? Yeah. This is the non-biased arsenal day? Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got yellow and then they let him slide on just clotheslining a guy? Yeah, yeah.

Hey, man, there's no var, so you know what I mean? It is what it is. He loves a yellow, doesn't they? Yeah. At the worst time possible as well, he's always getting one at the moment. You're like, well, this could fuck up the game. He's like, what if I got one more right now? I'm joking.

I'm joking. I'm joking. You're like, come on, man, please, please. his, I mean, defensively, he's not, like, not as sharp as he was last season. I wonder if, like, that him having to step into the role with California being injured was, like, the thing that really got

him to shine last season, but I feel like he's not quite. He's playing a lot like a midfielder who doesn't want to play left back. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I just defend badly, he would stop putting me here. But, yeah. We'll see.

It is a, right. Season syndrome. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And he had a good play. I mean, a few good plays, the ball into, uh, Jay-Zuse against Marnelli the second goal. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not bad. We'll get back to Arsenal in the moment, probably a little bit as well, because we haven't even got it to the Premier League. But also, Man, you lost to Brighton. One, goals to two. Listen, I want to congratulate Manchester United for figuring out how to tank in football.

I thought football was a tank-proof sport. I thought that's why relegation existed. You guys figured out how to play the minimum games, possible, as soon as possible, with the most ass roster. Thank you for being accommodating to my American mind. Oh, my God. Danny Welbeck, the fucking boogeyman again. I think he somebody has like eight or nine goals against them.

I think it's one of the teams he scores against the most. And he's celebrating every time. I mean, ever since, because it was, we were the one that provided that first cutback. That was in the F.A. Cup. I remember when we won away there. and Danny Wellbeck scored the winner and he was like, fuck all of you. And part of me at the time was like,

I think was it Van Hall, I think at the time was a manager, that he was just deemed surplus. And I think for him being there since he was like eight years old and being like cast away, I think put a huge chip on his shoulder. And I think ever since then,

he's just always been like, yeah, bro, fuck all y'all. Like, that's what keeps him playing to the age he's playing just to keep haunting Manchester United. He's like, as long as United is on the schedule, I can play the whole season.

Which it might not be much longer in his, you know, sadly. I was thinking if you play, this is what I think I do, right? If you, would you celebrate against your old club? Like, or would you do that? It depends on what I would do. Yeah. Like him, I would celebrate against my whole club because obviously you've left. Something's happened.

It's gone wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to compound it, I wouldn't celebrate against any other thing. So I do the, no. No. No. Hands up. Hands up, no, no.

Why are you saying hands up against Norwich? You never mean in Norwich? No. Classy class. Chris is your 30th goal at a year, man. Just put a fist up. No. I like the Canaries.

I like Norwich. I've also been on a stack to in Norwich, and one of my friends didn't get in because he had yellow shoes on. They called him banana boots. Side point. I love Lost This Road, you know? I can't do it to him here at Losters Road. I can't do Lost Road.

That's actually down the road from where I grew up. Kandhi Lof this road. But then Man United crazy, go crazy. Anyway, Star break dancing. Oh, yeah, a lot of this road is QPR, right?

Caro Road. Carrow Road. Yeah. You just lost, you just lost some British license. Yeah. I just, I just ordered three whiskeys like this, bro.

They said, this motherfucker faking it. There is some United fans that are saying Amroom would have fucking won that one. There are people who are, again, this is what's so funny to see some of my biggest rivals be so out of sorts in understanding where they are in the evolution of their club right now that like they're in

their banter years right now and they haven't accepted it yet. So they're still doing this thing like peak banter era Arsenal fan would be like, nah, man, I think man like Atabior and a few other things like we could get this thing going. Oh yeah, yeah, that's good. I think, yeah, yeah. I think if we can sign Yan in Via, that'll be a really great. signing, that would really help a Yon Gorkoof too. These are real players were being linked to it. These were scrubs. Okay. Yeah. And the team was full of

scrubs and it was a scrub mentality and Arson Venger was able to coast rightfully off of his accomplishments. But it was a bit too long, right? So with United fans being like seeing this and now being like, I don't know, Darren Fletcher, obviously we didn't need to do this.

Maybe we did. They were screaming for Amram to be sacked, but then when he's sacked They're like, actually, maybe this wasn't the right thing. Guys, just, I don't even know what they're going to do next. We still don't know who the manager is going to be, but the denial is still fucking intense over there, and I love to see it. And somehow, CESCO is the only one playing well in all of this.

Yeah, recently, right? Yeah. As soon as Amarin was gone, now Cessco can't stop. He scores in every game. He's been freed, whatever is happening. I know he's making Giacorez look like just a worse signing. by the game. Yeah, by the minute. So, I don't know, we'll see

who they end up going with the job. It still sounds like it's going to be one former player, right? That was the latest. Carrick, interim, if Carrick does vaguely well, they'll just keep it. Mm-hmm. He's a yes, man. That's what I want. Yep. I want a yes, man. Yep. Because that's the thing,

all of these clubs, like Tottenham's the same way, United, Chelsea, things aren't going to fully turn around until you actually find a, like, a manager with vision and a real clear, ideology that he can then impose on the entire club. Like, you know, like how it used to be before it became all this like fucking bureaucratic fight committee sort of thing.

Anyway, um, Liverpool for Barnsley one, Dominic Sobol sly with a hospital pass. My goodness. That was, that was. Where the fuck was this over to, where was this on Thursday or whatever, man? Yeah, where the fuck was this, Sobo Sly? Although he fucking, yeah, his goal was a fucking. He absolutely smashed it. Yeah.

And so casual after it too. He was like, yeah, all right. Well, that was the thing I know is him and a lot of the men's city. A lot of these sort of, I'm not even going to be of celebrating because it doesn't care. You should still celebrate kicking it that hard and should never not celebrate. It does. It's got to feel good.

Well, you know, he used to party in Barnston. Yeah, yeah. He's like, he went on a stagged there in Barns. Yeah. I got a respect, you know, I went to a Wendy's out there. It's a good happy hour up there. I don't want to. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. that kid Owen Cooper who won like a Golden Globe Critics Choice Award. He's like been big enough. He signed his speech off at the Golden Globes by saying you'll never walk alone, which was pretty peak supporter culture. I would say, I'm like, okay. You did that.

Did you see that clip where he met Chalomey at the, I think it was Critics Choice Awards, and he showed him a picture of Diogo Jota. And Salome is like, oh, Diogo Zota, RIP. And everyone, like all the Liverpool fans, like, yeah, bro, Shalomey's a real one. He's a real one. He's a real one.

I'm hearing is we need more gooners to win awards. I know. I know. Look. Just stop singing in North London forever in your success. Yeah. Well, you know, we just need Idris Helper to be in a better movie. That's what we need. It's been a while since he's been in a good movie. Yeah.

And see, Spike Lee came to it a little bit later. He had opportunities to win awards. Where, I mean, at the time when he was, he wasn't out there every week in Brooklyn. Yeah, we were winning shit. He was making like girls six. Yeah. I was executive producing bamboozle. Then we got Spurs won, Aston Villa,

two, another one. This is the second year in a row that Tottenham has been dumped by Aston Villa. Again, the fans here, they're fucking losing it. They want Tom. This has been such an L of a week, L of a week and an L of a week for these supporters because, like, there was the Thomas Frank thing at Bournemouth with the Cup, the Arsenal Cup.

God. The fucking Semenio just like sign off goal to his career there to win the game. Then there was like the players were fucking going to the stands and confronting the supporters. It was a fucking mess. And then like Christian Romero was posting some shit about like, oh, the board's telling lies. Yeah. I was in every drip and drop of that shit up. And now they signed Connor Gallagher and they're pissed about that.

And I'm like, bro. Connor Gallagher is, you need, I know maybe you don't think that's. interesting, you actually need Connor Gallagher. Okay, I don't know, I don't know for 40 million. You do need someone that can run around a lot, I think, actually, in the middle. Yeah. You don't need 40 million. I mean, when do you think he's going to, how long?

Because they can't, if the board can resist this level of vitriol for much longer, I'll be very impressed. But it's a bit like Alonzo, Realia, like, when just finish it? Yeah, yeah. I don't know, yeah. It doesn't seem, the thing is like, oh, maybe they're really trying to, commit to the project or whatever. But I have, like with the kind of,

I mean, right now they don't have the luxury of being able to clear any dead wood in terms of like the team that he would want to have like built in his image. So it's hard to see that turnover happening to even know like where they're at in terms of like backing him to have his own,

you know, have his own squad. But it doesn't look like they are. Because what, they only just signed a like a 19 year old from Santos, right? Like a left back is like their one signing. so far.

But I don't know. I think maybe it was a director of football, which is quite a weird time to announce it, is that he's going to stay on for a couple of weeks, the end of the window, then he's gone. I'm like, that doesn't sound cohesive. But as we've said, I like Thomas Frank.

I think he's a good coach. So the sooner he gets out of there, the sooner I go back to liking him properly again. And the sooner his eyes can come back to the front of his head. This game, my only notes on this game, it looked like one of the coldest places to ever be. everybody in the stands looked upset to be there. And maybe that was because it was at Tottenham Stadium.

But it also just seemed so frigid. And they also played, they actually played well in the second half. I just want to give Javi Simosa. I want to give Javier just the honorable mention. If you were playing on a real team, you probably scored a game winner in this match. I guess that's why it's probably difficult on some level to just completely jump ship because they have these moments

or like, yeah, okay, see, they'll build off that. But I also see, like, part of it too, like, when they say they're playing so boring, it's like, if he's being pragmatic, like, he kind of has to stop the bleeding and meaning you got to stop the goals. Like, we went through a very similar thing where it's like, bro, we're just trying to stop people from scoring right now. And everyone was like, this is fucking ugly or whatever. I'm like, bro, we're trying to tackle one problem at a fucking time.

So that could be what's going on, but I don't know. I mean, just based on how up, like, just fucking angry all this spur support. orders are, I don't think he's going to last long because like these people, and I think that's the thing is like they have no patience either. I don't know who could come in that would fix this right now. It's like it's going to take massive investment and patience. Like there's this group of players isn't good enough. It's like it's not like a manager is going to unlock this squad. Like maybe they could get marginally better performances, but this isn't like squad. I have a suggestion and this is a serious suggestion. Todd them needs to be the first team managed by a a fictional character. Everybody's talking about IP and who owns IP, who own this, who own that. It's time to bring in Coach

Carter, it's time to bring in somebody. Somebody, there's a Tottenham link, there's somewhere between Nike and Tottenham and all the money they've been making. They have to have the rights to a fictional character who can coach this thing. Right. Yeah, huh? I like him.

You see it? See, if this was portsmith, that could happen, right? Because Michael Eisner is the owner. The former Disney head. Is he? Yeah, Michael Eisener, yeah, Michael Eisener, yeah, Michael Eisner, Bob for the few years, like, I don't know,

maybe in the 2000s or something like that. Remember when they were sponsored by Beanie Babies? Yeah, Thai. They had the Thai sponsor on the front. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, Ty was rocking back then, baby. Are you two, the American Zavenball of British football team? Yeah. Yeah. It might be time to link

up on that. Yeah. I don't really, I don't have four meal, but I could, listen, I got a, you can't consult. You guys know enough people, you get consorts, you know, I'm going to know a consortium for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to talk, I'm talking to the Crockys later. I'm talking about.

You know what I mean? You were smoking blessed with the Cronkeys. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. I smoke P-Doggs with Josh Crocky, baby. All right, this is fucking stupid. All right, let's move on to

let's take a break, actually. Then we could do, we protest. We could do prem after the break, maybe. Yeah, yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Let me call my boy, Josh. tell him to put one up real quick and I meet him in the parking lot

right after this and we're back so match week 21 of the is it what is it the barc is not barc is this is the premier league now isn't it? I think he's Barclays still okay um I keep saying that's pure Barclays when it's a crazy weekend

oh yeah if you say that too anymore yeah oh man I do that too with my boy we go bro at Barclays we go Hey, bro, this was Barclays. That's how we say it. Like, it's Charles Barclay. Oh, you say, I mean, if you could say,

then you've got to say it's pure Charles. That would be the next level. We're going, oh, man, how is that match? They'll be like, if there's a wild match winner, we'll just type, Barclays, bro. It's Barclays. Mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah, you guys didn't invent that.

Damn. There's no way, bro. All right, tell me the first time you did it. I mean, I copied it off. I mean, I think, like, Jamel might be the only person I was going to say. Yeah, I'm like, it's like, have you got,

hang on, do you say look before you leave? Yeah. I made that shit up. Do you ever just see some wild shit in the bar? I saw I made that up. Yeah. You ever see some shit in the NBA and you go, damn, bro, the NBA, man.

Wait, you do that too? Yeah. I used to go I love this game. I was one of those guys. Yeah. Of course, we're all loving this game. We talked a little bit about the nil-nill-nill draw. Arsenal and Liverpool.

I mean, I'm not really bothered. I'm not really bothered by it at all. Actually, when everyone's dropping points, just like us, luckily, everyone's been dropping points. Would have been nice to extend our lead, our gap, to eight points. But no, six will do for now.

But yeah, I don't know. Anything else to add in terms of the scheme of things. Yeah, it's just a game where everyone always, it always happens at the time. they'll go, Arsenal can't, it's like the way teams playing, it's aren't, Liverpool, especially in second place where he played really well and Arsenal did look a bit like, tired and

lacking, I will come back to our favourite person that's not 100% his fault, not everyone play with it, but Giacores, it was funny when, so certain games, I do think that, playing on the last line strikers ago at it, but Liverpool, Canata and Virgil were like, who's this, they like, it didn't look less, less worried about him.

And when Havert's came on for 20 minutes, he got the ball turned and did a through ball and everyone was like, this guy, he's so much, he's ball on door compared to Victor, because this guy turned and passed in one go? Yeah. He's so,

I mean, I should have mentioned that, but yeah, his spatial awareness is so much better. Like, he can feel when, like, the defense might be just starting to concentrate on one side of the box.

He's like, well, I'm going to go into space, because that shit's congested. He just makes himself available in a very intelligent way, which seems normal. But I guess compared to, you start to really see how limited Yocchres is.

However, his presence has enabled us to be a little more fluid, like offensively. So it's like, they offer different things, but I just have a feeling that when Havrets fully comes back, we're going to be fucking smacking the shit out of people. Well, he is the perfect in between, between Jesus and Yerazes. He plays physical and he knows when to come back to the ball.

He's into that. But I don't mind. Hey, I don't mind Victor continuing to give minutes. I know people are like he's going to go to the bench. I don't mind it because we're in some sort of a rhythm. Whatever you want to say, we tend to win games when he's there. Maybe one day they'll figure out when and where to pass him the ball. But I just like that we win the games.

It would have been nice if we had fucking won this game. Because I got to tell you guys, watching this motherfucking game in a hot tub and it ending in a draw, fucking stunk, all right? Yeah. My girl's like, you're really watching a game? We're in the hot tub. I'm like, dog, this is my, I was like, yo, do you got to be on the team to watch every game? I'm like, dog. Dog, come on, man.

He's like, stop calling me dog. Listen, dog. The dog, this is a. Oh. Yeah. I immediately went DM. on my fucking life partner because I wanted to watch this shit

and it would have been nice if we had one. Oh my gosh. That is a game that felt like it was a job though. Do you mean? Like that's when you're like there's a reason this is a job. But normally like this is the most fun job in the world but that was like there's you know. As soon as I saw the rain I'm like

we're in for some bullshit. It was fucking coming down. It's funny how people think that's not an excuse but I do think if it's really rainy, it's much harder to play it for. Hey. For sure. Hey, can you do it on a rainy night in Stoke? You know what I mean, as they say? Rain in sideways?

The rain is like going up into your eyelids. Yeah. It felt less bad because city also dropped points but also felt like a missed opportunity. But the city game, I'd never get to move on to it the day before. Yeah, that was like that was a different tension. Exactly. That was the thing that allowed me to be a little more relaxed watching like the Arsenal result. because my God, that Manchester City

Brighton game was fucking horrifying to watch. Was there XVee like eight as well in this game? It was just so crazy because they're holding on to this fucking just, it's a draw, okay? And the amount of mistakes that were being made at the back

were like terrified because they were put, like, some of these like passes across the front of the goal like stupid shit, like the most basic stuff. Like, don't pass, like, when it's congested like that, why are you passing in front of your goalkeeper like that? There was just so many mistakes that I was like, you're trying to fucking let them score right now. And I had such a hard time holding on to that flimsy reality because I was like, this has to hold because I have not seen victory in many years now. And the snakes are too high for me now. And all my stress was going into that.

I'm so glad it was over, but I was so fucking it. There's just too much riding on. And again, the way in which Brighton was defending made it worse. It was almost like, they were like edging with fucking an own goal. That was fucking me up. I was moving house that day. And so I wasn't watching it. But I was getting the text of the most, it was actually lovely.

I was just, you got to just live all the, it's like having a, having an anxiety PA. You just, you were just handling my anxiety for me and then like processing it. And I was just like, this is great. This is still one all. This is beautiful. Oh, yeah. I'm still gobsmacked because it was truly upsetting to watch. I'm trying to figure out who was.

One of the players, I forget which one, like, after he, there was a shot of him on the bench because he got fucking hooked and he was just like, had his head in his hands. Just like, what the fuck of him? Yeah, get me out of there. Phil Foden, England's Starboy. Starboy, to a degree. Do we think a lot of people, if you actually sort of watch him, he's quite a good garnish on the team playing well,

but he's not good enough to like, he's not DeBroyne, right? He can't run the show. Right. And he can't spread the through balls either, like of a, he can't play always like, he's sort of in that sort of 10 pocket okay.

Like, you know, he can score some nice goals and stuff and not obviously dismissing it, but I feel like a lot of the city, like, Tacicos get quite fed up with the fact that he is sort of, in between stuff and he's not he's not the boy he's not who they need

I mean yeah so maybe Semenio Semenio seems like a very smart signy and I imagine will become clutch and his physically, Foden is not physically dominant like him so slightly different position I know but that's the sort of player I think that they need and Foden

you can kind of see why that he kind of got frozen out for a bit a lot especially last season but yeah what they might see he might come really good and score 50 he was on a run when he gets in a run of scoring the goal every game it's pretty impressive. But everything has to be right around. I mean,

with Semenio, he looked like less of like a mighty ducks player than Doku is, you know, on that wing. Right. I'm like, oh,

like his goal was just like, bro, are you in my way? Because I'm about to score. Whereas Doku, sometimes you're like, just the whole time he's pulling up. He's like,

step, let me see what the fuck he got. What you got? What you got? And he's a little, he's like over dribbling sometimes. But I'm curious to see like in the Premier League, what Semenio looks like,

because he's used to it, like, he looks like now in that system because I think it is going to be fucking scary as shit. I was talking to the player I was thinking of was Yaseen Ayari, the midfielder. I got to show you, there's this clip of him. This one, I'm just, like, this is the clip that made me

scream over the text message. Just this pass right here. Oh, yeah, that was hilarious. What in the fuck? And that bonata's so of a mister, right? Yeah. This one. Again, twice.

Twice. twice that happened. So anyway, shit like that was happening when I'm like, you were about to do it. All right. Bournemouth Spurs. What other matches do you want to cover

on the way out? I wouldn't mind talking about Semenyo's graduation game. Well, by all means. It was the perfect finish. It was the perfect finish. Of course.

Yeah. Born Mith 3, Spurs 2, 90th plus 5. It had to happen. What was there, their street going to this? 11 matches. They haven't won in 11 matches until they played Spurs. Look, Spurs, you're like the make, you're charitable.

You're charitable. You're a charitable club. And you help people back on their feet. And I think that's important. You helped Ezza get on his feet, get his career going with us. You've given me countless moments of joy over this, just barely half of a season that's been played. So, so thank you. To take that after that Palini.

that overhead kick was not bad that he scored to equalize. But then, yeah, some manual goals. And even the Tell finish was pretty decent as well. But it was just like, yeah. Oh, did he have like a nice little back heel to play it to him, I think? Like that he just chopped it back to him, I think. That was, yeah, that was a really nice goal. Very, I did not see that usually from Tell.

Go of the game for me. Evan Nealison with the header, but he used his whole body and ass. The way he jumped, he used every. in his body. He was doing like one of those like performing like he was like in a musical on Broadway or something. One of them bleeps. Dude, and then Crupi also scored too.

Hey, Crupy Jr. Yeah. We're fans of Crupy Jr. It's a fun thing to say. Yeah. He bags a little goes. Croopy should be like a like a healthier kind of mayonnaise or something. Oh. When I think about what a croopy would be.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh my. Hold on, Jamel. You're not using mayonnaise. still are you on your sandwiches? No, dude, there's cruee. No, oh, Croopy, what's that? Croopy is the new all-natural, low-calorie mayonnaise. It still has rich decades of your trip to meo, baby.

Yeah. Cropi. Wow. Yeah, him and like Shada seem like the kind of players that are going to get poached in the near future. They feel like if they are, you know, as good as they seem to be, they seem like the type of players at the top clubs would be looking for.

At least I'm looking for. But no, yeah, I mean, or Eagle, Tiago as well. He's the other one who I think it's going to, he's the sort of all-round center forward a lot of people want. But Semenio, yeah, we've got it. I feel like that's what a, couldn't be better a way of finishing your career.

And I think it's so interesting as certain fans and certain players the way they leave and change how they react. But they were just fully like, I think they were like, we can't believe this guy. He's played for us for a year and a half. He's awesome. Yeah.

And scores that winner. Goodbye. Much. Yeah. See you later. Yeah. Walk into the sunset. Hopefully he doesn't.

do what pet wants him to do off the ball and gets frozen out a lot and struggles. But at the moment it looks like he's going to be good for them. We'll see. We'll see. He can play off two-footed, which is always I'm amazed more players aren't two-footed when you just think

how much? What else do you do it? Yeah, right, exactly. Practice if you're on the foot, bro. Yeah. Start early because most people are so predictable whatever. Bless him bless, well not now that he's at

city, but we'll see. Oh, one thing I was going to ask about was Mark Gehey because it's still as of, you know, the windows open, people are saying he might go to city, he might go to Liverpool, he might stay and just leave on a free. I don't know, has that changed much? He might go to Austin. Right, and that was

the other part. I was like, that would be so fucking funny. All this shit. We really got it. We really have the fucking cards like that. Well, does them losing the Mcclesfield, does that lower the the transfer fee at all? Is that how this work?

Can we just knock a couple M's off? Just like two mill off. Yeah, yeah. Come on, that's got to be worth something. The thing that sort of gets brushed under the carpet is, didn't he refuse to wear a rainbow flag, armband? Oh, boy.

Oh, he wrote, I love Jesus on his rainbow armband. Yeah, so I think the Liverpool, there might be the Liverpool gay sport, isn't it? They, I think, had an open letter. They didn't want him to say Liverpool, he had to Liverpool. I would love to talk to the gay go. We got any gay gooner plugs?

I love to, yeah. I have to imagine they would be like a, man, get his ass in here. Get this big in his ass, well, for, let's get this title. I'm just wondering if the Arsenal gay supporters group feels the same as the Liverpool. Gay supporters group at this point in the season. We can't keep a right back. We can't keep a back four together. Oh, wait.

He said, okay, so he wrote that Jesus loves you on his rainbow, arm band. Well, that's better than I love Jesus to me for some reason. He says it was just a message of truth and love and inclusivity. But he added, I don't think the message was harmful in any way. That's all I can really say

about that, to be honest. Well, that seems like a good enough reason. Get him in. Get him in my arsenal. Sign that man up. Yeah, because I remember, I mean, I remember, the drisic guy the nuanced balance to discuss this.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, this, people should, I'm always saying there aren't enough places for straight men to talk about gay rights. Come on. Exactly. This is what you came to, ain't it footy for. What else? Burnley, two, man united two. Again, Benjamin Sesco with a brace.

Even Dorgoo with an assist. Doogie every week, or even you're wrong, dude. I know. Ever since I said he looks like his name, he's like, oh yeah? What's that? Goal involvement every week. week since. What's that?

He's going to lift up a t-shirt that says, fuck you, Miles. Yeah. Way miles an hour ago. Shut your fucking mouth, loser. And I was like,

oh my God. How did he? He knows who I am. Thank you, Patrick. Fuck you, mate. Yeah. That's what he said.

Um, yeah, I mean, this was another one though. Man you, they were like, okay, we got this.

We're up to one, uh, six minutes later. And okay. Okay. Steve. Okay. All right. That's a draw. Well, at least it wasn't a loss. Our man's hair will continue to stay long. But yeah, this is like the first match without Ruben Amram, who continues to look like his life has improved 5,000 percent. Every image you see, smiling in ways I've never seen. A man just generally smile. Dapping up the paparazzi. People pointing him out. He's like taking pictures. He's yucking it up. He's the fucking mayor right now. Where do you go if you're AMRM? Like, are you going to watch football in like Portugal or are you like...

You have a lot of games nights. You hit up a lot of games nights. Okay. You haven't had, you've been too busy. All those games nights you should get invited to. You start turning up. You pay attention to the rules of a game you've never played before. Yep.

That's the sort of time you've got in your hands. Right. He's going to crush Rummy Cup or whatever. Exactly. Exactly. I mean, unreal how much money they've paid. Like, they paid what, like 10 hog, like 10 million to $1? fuck off. Amram's also

getting a bag. This, dude, INEOS is so fucking bad. What is wrong with them? The amount of money that they're spending to, like, terminate contracts is, that's an expense I feel like you can't ignore if you're saying you're running something

like a business or a club, just generally. And they can't, again, stick to any, anyone because they've got the yips because I think that reputation is so heavy that anything that is an instant rejuvenation is going to be seen as unacceptable.

And I think, I mean, look at the place the fucking Old Trafford is falling apart. I think there's so much of address. I was just thinking, you know, they're sort of talking about, you know, when goalkeepers go down and it's faking an injury just to get a team talk in. I think they need to look at managers

faking, being really crap of their jobs and get a big payout. Yeah. He's number one on my list. So he's a hard one. It's a hard one, right? Yeah. I think he's starting, do you know what?

I think those managers, they start, I'm going to do it and they hit, and I think he'd hit this point a couple of months ago and he was just like, this is just, yeah, screw Jason Wilcox, screw Sir Jim Radcliffe. I'm just going to say some stuff

and just give me 10 million. Yeah. Oh, right, right. And they'd be like, surely he wouldn't. I'm going to go hit up a mousetrap night with my butt. He'll play uno. Surely he wouldn't. One and a half glasses of wine.

This is the famous Oscar Meyer Weeder car. Surely he wouldn't crash it on purpose. That would be he's like, I don't give a fuck. I wonder if he really was like, watch me, bro. You think I give a fun?

Man, okay. I like this theory, though. This happens all the time in American sports for sure. This is definitely a move by a coach who's like, fuck this. And I wonder how long it's going to take

Manchester United. to realize that that's what these coaches are doing. Yeah, because again, you got a weird set up there. They're not going to trust, like, one manager to come in with their vision. All these managers you talk about, you look at all of them. What they want is just to be sub-backed by a board to get the squad they would need to enact like whatever their footballing philosophy is. And like, that's why Guardiola has done so well.

Obviously, that's a huge reputation that comes with it. but other managers that have done really well on some level have been able to shape an entire squad like in their vision rather than someone else being like, well, this is kind of how we want to play. And then you get this like clash of personalities

or egos or beliefs or whatever and then you get this kind of dysfunction that plays out on the field. And I don't know, man. I call me old fashion, but like what happened to just like letting a manager like fucking do their thing. But I guess the money,

obviously just like the wages make everything so fucking like, God, we can't waste a dollar, except you'll pay. almost every manager that's been at the club recently around 9 to 10 million pounds to leave. That's Amram, 10 Hog, Solshire. And fucking, I think even Raniuk,

Ralph Raniuk even got a huge fucking see-a-later bag too. Those could have been probably some key players instead. Yeah, yeah. Bro, did you see that headline about how we wanted to sign Sobol Sly and then Edu said, no, we need William? I think I started to realize that, like, director of football is sort of this they want to have the director of football shaping

and the manager, the coach you take it in and out and so look at what Eddie's done at Nottingham Forest he's been absolutely crap and he's going to get fired pretty soon. He has, hasn't he? Everyone's joke, he's always barbecuing stuff and he's doing the same, but he doesn't have Mikhail Artetta. And then

you look at Bertha, everyone's going cool, but then a lot of the talk is he was the one that was like, get Gokorez. And at the moment, that looks bad at the moment. I could change, but I have put in another WhatsApp group that I'm almost certain he'll get loaned or sold it in the season. That's another one when Mikhail goes, all right, big guy, well done on that. Get out of my way.

Go back to all my choice, because all his talent ID is top notch. And there's no way Mikhail looked at what Vyker does with the ball at his feet and thought, this guy's going to play the way I want to play. So we'll see. Yes. I think the coach is so vital. and they have to have a, if they have a director of football that kind of agrees with them, it's good. But if you have them just dictate what to do, it ain't going to work, me.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, man. He's had, he's, he's had an interesting history in terms of, like, the players that he signed, some good ones and some fucking bad ones. What else do we need to hit Jabby? Jabby getting fired? Yeah, so Shabby Alonzo. Did he leave?

Is it mutual consent or was he sacked? He was sacked, right? We got to ask him, Bapé, what didn't Bapay say? Yeah, Mbapet, baby. It seemed like he's the one with the intel on that. So crazy. Yeah, he's been sacked. It was a sacking.

That level of insubordination at the King Abdullah Sports City, I can't believe it. I like when you text, you're like, do they traditionally play the Spanish Super Cup final at the King Abdelah Sports City Stadium? No. No. Oh, shit, man.

It was looking comfortable in there. That game was crazy. Yeah. Well, at least the first half, and then it just kind of seemed to just get clamped down. Vincius goal. The Venetius go was, yeah, was so low. My favorite part about it, the moment I turned it on. Right. Wasn't it, did it end up being like 2-2 at the end of the first half?

I thought it was maybe it was 2-2 or 3-2? 2-2. I think it was 2-2 by the end. Yeah, that was wild. All those goals coming in injury time. Levindowski immediately answers the goal of the game. Yeah, fucking brilliant. He's allowed to score again.

Good for that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they weren't telling him, like, they weren't sending him photos of Catalan children being like, we will die and we will starve if you bankrupt FC Barcelona because we cannot pay the fee that the deal we signed with buyer. So at the end of the match, right, Barcelona win.

It's three to. Obviously, their fucking biggest rival is about to take the stage and get their medals. Mbapé prevented everybody from doing any kind of honor guard for Barcelona and he even called Jabi Alonzo who's like man what the fuck you doing bro we're not doing all that shit

get your ass over like he told him we're not doing this shit and when you see that you're like yeah this is a he's strange he's lost him he's lost him he's lost them he's lost them that's such a fucking weird club I mean not a weird club the player power has always been

the thing that usually fucking dooms a manager there but to see it that out in the open and you're like, bro, who wants it? This fucking Babeay's kids. The fuck is this, man. I'm going to try to babysit these monsters. Right. It definitely doesn't set a great tone for whoever's coming in next,

but I suppose it'll just be Mbapé's decision, right? Yeah, well, right now it's going to be Alvaro Arbeloa. Yeah. Former Liverpool teammate. So, I don't know. Does this mean, I wonder where job is going to end up next. Like, dude, this. Because it felt like he was going to go to Liverpool.

But at the time, he was like, I kind of want to get the real laundry job first. Yeah, you got to do that. Well, I feel like to succeed there, you have to, the only real type of coaching me is Fun Uncle, right? Fun Uncle, you're like, hey, guys, what do you want to do? You want to do is there? You can have as much shit than you want.

You vaping? That's cool. That's all right. That's cool, baby. I'll have some of that. What flavor is that? Tiger Blood? Okay.

I'm interested. Yeah, cocaine. Cool. Yeah, there's no problem with all of us. That's cool. That's cool. A little chop. I thought I thought people were farting in here.

Okay, y'all chopping it up. Yep. Yep. I know what's going on. I'm the cool uncle. Oh, my God. What I'm doing? Yeah.

I don't know who. I mean, like, I feel like Zedan was like the last dude to be able to have. Like it's probably because he's like, motherfucker I'm Zad. Fuck you. How many are y'all going to do it as big as me? Okay.

Some of y'all, okay, all are you all? Okay. Cool. Man, he's funny, though, to watch your team. So obviously, like, they're not going to win the league,

I think, but by looks for it unless they, But it is quite funny to watch a team where you're like they don't really press and they don't really do, they literally are just like, we'll just get really good players and they'll just be really good and it'll go against a well-coached team

and it doesn't generally, at events the very best coach seems, doesn't succeed, but it is pretty impressive how just loads of good players, like, it's just like just try and score loads of goals and just have a laugh.

In 2020, it's kind of our vibe, right? It's like, hey man, what about me, man? right back. Can I, yeah, yeah, if you want to get it in, go ahead, bro. Yeah, come up as far as you want, bro. I got to, yeah, yeah, can you say till half time at least?

All right, all right. I'm smoking. I'm smoking. I'm smoking. All good, baby, all good. All good, man. You know, whatever you want. Get it how you live, baby.

This is Real Madrid. You know who might be a good coach for them? Ariane Re. That's a good shot, actually. That's actually, he doesn't he seem like he has the attitude, like he has the expectation of all the players that they Yeah, he's not a good manager. I think is the problem.

I'm just thinking it matches the attitude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just have a little funky attitude together. He would, yeah, because he'd be the one person. He'd be like, what the fuck you're going to do, ho? And Bobbe is like, oh, shit. He'd still be able to dribble around them. It's the same thing with them.

I think the same thing, but they're not great managers because they're just like, just do this, just dribble around full people and score. And they're like, I'm just the perfect, man. Yeah. I'm just the basic human. Never lose a match in a season, bro. That's the goal, okay?

and y'all little fucking losers couldn't do class. I'm tired of looking at y'all. He'd have the weirdest relationship with them. I don't know. I feel like it's hard to know who. It's just a hard group of players. And like that club is just so huge. And yeah, it takes like one in every five managers to figure it out.

Maybe they should be run by like an automated tech service. Maybe it should be like like American Idol voting. Hey, if you want us to park the bus, press press down. Yeah, yeah. If you want us to go forward and everybody's got a little light up sensors in the crowd. Right. And like all the, all the players, like they do little videos on TikTok to like get your vote.

It's like, vote for me for starting centerback. And they hit like a TikTok. Right. And it's a little bit of a lifestyle piece. We start hearing about these guys' families. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Killing and Bob. Yeah.

Yeah. Did you know about Bertie had a dad? Yeah. I had no clue. I was just thinking. actually a good coach them would just be a dog. They just had a dog for vibes. Okay.

They just walk out. They just walk out with a massive dog. And they're like, that's fun. He doesn't want a big dog. And they just do what they want. And I honestly think they do better than if they had tactical coach. Yeah, I like this. Climorro, the big white dog.

I think also with the dog, too, like you would look crazy for disrespecting a dog in public. Also, right. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I don't shake it. Boone. I didn't shake it. pool.

Give a fuck. Yeah. What am I supposed to do? I can't wait all day. You wouldn't see Mbapé, you're like, get your ass over here. I'm done playing with you.

They'd be like, bro. Why are you talking to that dog like that? Mm-hmm. That's disgusting, fool. That's disgusting behavior. The dog.

I waited to shake the dog's hand. The dog was digging a hole. I do not have all night. Right. Oh my God. All right. Well, I think that's going to wrap it up for this week of AN.

Woody will be back because this shit never stops. Who's got plugs like Wayne Rooney? I'd like to plug Brendan Aronson. Hey, man. Hey, you was playing some football last week, brother. I just want to acknowledge that. You did a little something, brother. Yeah, yeah.

Like, hey, good on you, man. Just back in his butt. Hey, man, get it in there. In a minute's too. Putting on for Concord Calfe doing old FIFA celebrations. Yeah, both of y'all. Chris, how about you? I want to have just give another plug to Purple Nightclub underneath the bridge.

How are they doing? It closed down a few years ago, but I should say, you know, well done on a good run. And thanks for all the beers. Yeah. You guys couldn't get me to pull back in the day. But, you know, that was a little fault of acne and my bad cigarette excuse. But thanks for the opportunities. Shout out, Purple Nightclub.

Wow. And one article I found was that Abramovich built eight. better nightclub where purple nightclub once stood at that bit. Wow. I bet they're letting people that were not 15. It was part of what made it better. You ever, hey man, you ever see

Jeffrey Epstein there? Yeah. He definitely was at whatever Abramovich made. You, damn, that's quite an image. Young Chris trying to holler at the same chick as. Jeffrey Epstein, he's just like, fuck, man. It's a grown man in a fucking...

The fuck is this, bro. I'm 12. Jeffrey Q. Fstein is sliding in on you. He's bringing here shorty, like, dump bears or shit. Yeah, yeah, he does not that means right now. All right, we'll figure that out. As long as he bought me a drink in this hypothetical scenario. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're good, you're good.

I can just look up Purple Nightclub. Just for an example of a very fun, sort of British nightclub names. There's one called Scenarios Night. Ooh, hey, man. You know what happened in there. Oh, my gosh. Scenarios.

There we go. All right, well, we'll be getting to some different scenarios next week when we're back y'all take care we'll see you then peace peace bye
