Listen to Sino's show on the IHare Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm only doing that because I'm so, I'm feeling so good about everything I've seen the last year.

That's what that exhalation was about. Nothing more, nothing less. And guess what? It's time for another ravishing, riveting episode of Ain't a Fuddy. Before we get there, we're going to have to go around the circle and share our feelings in an intimate setting. Chris Martin, two to 17 phrases or grunts to describe your feelings on. I have a feeling it's probably going to be around the FA Cup. I don't know if you're that torn up about Italy not qualifying for the World Cup of Game,

but whatever you'd like to say. Just like crying into my gazpacho. That's Spanish. Okay. Three words. Are you disabled? Now, there's some context. There's some context.

Maybe. Learning wise, yes. You've got an interesting hook here. Okay. So I feel like in life, I like to celebrate my victories. I've got to, I also feel like I'm, I should expose my flaws and my, my, uh, errors of my way. Today I was driving my mum in Eastbourne

to a shopping centre called the Beacon Centre and around the back they have disabled parking she has a disabled parking badge and I saw there was no space because there was a huge white van in there don't know if you know in America the stereotype of white van men in the UK is they just like terrible drivers

they just take they do naughty stuff all the time shouldn't be doing part where they shouldn't I see the white van. In my head, I'm driving. It's like 10 in the morning. I'm just like, in my head, I'm like, that person's just parked there illegally. I look through the window.

There's a man sitting in there, and I'm like, he's just sitting in there because he couldn't be bothered to find another parking space. So just without even thinking about it, out of the window, go, are you disabled? No. I say that out loud out my mouth.

The guy looks at, me, he pulls out a blue badge, he hadn't, he puts it out, and he drives off. And then it took me like a few seconds to process. I was like, firstly, you just aren't allowed to ask someone that anyway.

Yeah, yeah. Because it's just it's private and like not all disabilities are visible. But just in my head, I was just so certain that like, I didn't even question what I was doing. You're like, this is an asshole right here. This guy's just an asshole.

Like, there's no way you could be a disabled driver. We're in a white van. And then I just drove and like parts a bit further up. And then about a minute that he drove past and was just staring at me. And I was just like, what am I doing? I'm so sorry. He got him. Anyway, it's a long word saying, I made a mistake. And I feel

like on the weekend, a lot of stupid errors were made. Arsenal players at the row bounce. There we had. We had Virgil Van Dyke giving away a penalty. Yeah. We had missed penalty. in the worst town leads game,

sending off in the Italy game. Anyway, are you disabled? I'm so sorry if that man from Eastbourne is listening to, I'm shaming myself, and it's a lesson for all. Even if someone's driving up with a bit, you know what, bear my brain's like, I think he illegally got that.

I think he illegally got his hands on that, man, just saying. You're watching too much Fox News. You know what I mean? Do you think everybody's a scammer now? Excuse me? They're like, yeah, here it is. Read them and we.

I just couldn't. I spent an hour just going, what's wrong with me? I apologize to a community of people. And I let myself down, let my family. What did your mom think? Was your mom with you? She actually said to me, goes, there are a lot of people buying them on the black market.

And I was like, all right, mom, I appreciate that you like this. There you go, mom. Easter weekend, trying to show some love. That's cool. She's a real one. Jamel Johnson, how about you? Three to 17 words, phrases, anecdotes. Stanley Clark comes to mind.

music supervisor for a little film called Boys in the Hood. Wow. Okay. Now, Chris, you seen this one? I have seen that, actually. Yeah, well, I believe. It's always worth checking with me, though. Yeah, I just wanted to check before I would launch right in because I believe Arsenal is starting to hear the saxophones.

Listen. Oh, no. I think Italy already, they already got buck down. Oh, boy. RIP to Poland. You are the white rickies. You guys are all Ricky. The saxophones are blaring, and I can't turn them down.

Wow. Wow. That is wild. That is a good pull. It's funny, I didn't even realize Stanley Clark worked on that film because he's in his own right, a fantastic jazz bassist that I didn't. Okay, here we go. He's the reason he gave us fear via saxophone. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Well, just to confirm, that's when the saxist, starts, you know someone's about. get gunned down? That's the scene. You just know you're like, here we go. The guy is scratching a lottery ticket. He thinks his life, he thinks he's about to be rich. And then the next second he gets shot

in the back. You're telling me that's not Arsenal football. That's hearing the saxophones. We're definitely hearing the saxophones. Right now, they're off in the distance. And those who know are like, hey, motherfucker, I think I hear saxophones. Yeah.

It's time to tighten up. We just shook hands with Cuba Gooding Jr. Oh, no. And it's starting to come in. Yeah, yeah. It's possible. It's possible. For me, I couldn't even think that far ahead or that far from on a meta level.

I was just thinking, shit sandwich. You know what I mean? All right. We had a terrible final cup loss. And then at an international break where we're like, maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's okay. That's okay. We can get over it. and then get right back in it with another absolutely terrifyingly bad performance in the F.A. Cup.

And we'll get to that. But chronologically, last time we recorded, we're like, oh, Italy's going to be playing in their qualifier. Hopefully they'll make it to the World Cup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. That shit went to penalties, and they lost 4'1. And in that instance, Klazanatch had the last laugh as an Arsenal left back that was representing in that international game. But this is now the three straight World Cups that Italy has missed, which is unfathomable considering they just won the Euro Cup in 2021, technically,

but that 20, 20, 20 euros they won. But man, this is a, I don't know, it feels like one of those, it just feels weird, you know, like with Italy not being there, kind of feels like how the Knicks used to not be good and not be in the playoffs. And when the Knicks started being in the playoffs again, I was like, this feels like the NBA that I grew up with. And now with Italy missing, I'm like, where, what happened? Where are you guys?

What did happen? Is the problem, just like team management or is it this, is it coaching? Right. It's a bit of, they got a little bit of the mental block because they keep not doing it. And then, yeah, from what I, Gatuzzo isn't or wasn't the best coach they could have possibly have, but yeah, a lot of people trying to blame him. A lot of people blaming the pressure. Some of them and then,

these teams aren't that good, but they're definitely good enough to be in the World Cup. It's just, they, um, yeah, they just, it's kind of like England's

how England will always bottle it in the tournament. Italy, I don't even get into, they don't even get into the party. They're not even, right. Yeah.

They can't even get past the bouncer. Taking bottling to a new level, quite honestly. Oh, yeah. Vino, famously in a bottle. Is it because they're trying to play without fouling the shit out of people all the time now? No,

I think they're actually the wokeest national. team that there is, according to the memes, because they boycotted the Russian World Cup in 2018. They knew. They boycotted the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. They said, this is an abomination. This was bought with bribes. They're looking at 2026. They're seeing Johnny Infantino over here.

Right. Cutting love with Donald Crumps. And they're like, nah, we're off this shit too. That was just the funniest thing when people were like, respect to them for their human rights. records of boys on the last three world cups. That's so funny. Tell you what, though. Tell you what, those summer sex

parties are going to have one handsome guy available to join them. Yeah. Rick and Califery. Those eyes white shot parties are going to get a little sexy. Oh, yeah. Man, the next season of sex parties just got.

They're going to roll him in a shopping cart. They're like, here he is, boys. We got a gabagool for everybody to carve up. He immediately in the dressing room, he opens his locker. There's like a golden ticket or something. Yeah. Of a sex parties.

He like pulls out the envelope. Second place is actually the winner. Yeah. I mean, I got to say, there's just a lack of, I don't know, like the lack of proper talent being embraced coming up in the national team setup is something that is probably a little bit alarming. But also, we can't forget this quote from Janaro Gattuzzo last November. was complaining about the too many African teams.

He said, quote, in my day, the best runners up went straight to the World Cup. In 1990 and 94, there were two African teams. Now there are nine. It's not a controversy, but it creates difficulties. So blaming Africa, the time-honored tradition in Italian politics. Yeah, you know, sticking to the script. But yeah, Italy, you will be missed. You will be missed.

Meanwhile, there was, man, the England, England did not do great. They lost 1-0 to Japan in a match that felt a little. I think a lot of people were like, oh, oh, what's going on with England? How do you feel about that? You're obviously half Japanese, but you are the most English man in my life.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, love seeing that. Culturally speaking. Oh, and if it's Japan against, it's all the day for me, you know what I mean? But I was not expected. I mean, Japan can be competitive and they can definitely show up for a match, especially when they're the underdog.

like that's that's like one of the talents of this national team but man like in terms of the english setup thomas tuckel was like it's fine man we got a couple months we got a couple months you know what i mean this is just this is not a great string of results here for the last couple of matches we played but we'll be okay i mean chris i would chess pass the ball back to you as an english mun what are you how are you looking at that are you freaking out are you kind of like yeah There's kind of some scrubs out there. Yeah. Are they out of the streets?

Are they at weather spoons? Like, are they sweating at weather spoons right now? Yeah. What's it like in the plus 4-4? They're always sweating a Weatherspoons, mate. They're always sweating a Weatherspoons. They don't have enough money for air conditioning in Weatherspoons. And it's a very humid country this time of year.

It's a weird one because Tuchel, he's won every competitive game as England manager and not conceded a goal. Is that right? do you know, see the goal of the whole of qualifying? It was something crazy like that.

But then on the flip side, the only team of any note, they played to Serbia, but then every time they've played like a good team in a friendly, they've not turned up.

I mean, I feel like this international break couldn't have been at a worse time. And as a friendly, I mean, think how many players pulled out,

not just Arsenal players. Right. In the long season, they're trying to rest these guys. Some of these players were trying to like force their way into this reckoning and didn't,

like, Foden didn't turn up and I He's a very interesting England's darling Foden but has never ever played well for England in the 40 times he's played I mean the fact they even tried him

as a false nine shows the lack of lack of cane replacements but yeah lack of cane replacement is a worry but like no Declan Rice no Bellingham those are two big parts

no sacker like there's a lot of guaranteed starters not not playing but yeah it's hard to note but then the reason that a lot of these players they're tired off for long season

so that always gets to that point in the World Cup when England always goes a lot of our best players are tired from the long season and it's like yeah you know everyone's tired from long season it's not really excuse

a lot of people from all over the world playing the Premier League and have the same fucking game match load exactly no exactly but yeah I'm not too worried but I also I don't have the bandwidth to care about England at this point in the season.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. Jamel, the U.S.? What'd you think? You're kidding. Last 2-0 to Portugal. You're fucking kidding, bro. Do you have any optimism for the U.S. team

or you're just kind of like, I'll see how these motherfuckers do. We'll see. No, I mean, no. No, I don't. Because it's, and I don't, I can't. identify what the problem is. I think it's just that our country suck.

Yeah, yeah. The vibes are bad. So as a nation, we don't deserve shit. And the vibes were never a great centered around the team. People used to say the team suck. And like, Altador and like Clint Dempsey were like, no, we'll kill you. We'll kill you.

We'll die for a draw. We'll actually die for it. You know what I'm saying? Right. And now this group is like, I also don't care. I'm worth twice. I'm worth Five times as much as Clint Dempsey ever was, and I don't care. And it's like, why should they? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, man. I mean, good luck to them. You know, it's the most disappointing? No fucking goalkeeper. That used to be the only shit we could do right. Yeah, like a hustle. Because that was like the one position that was a combination of sports Americans were good at.

They're like, can you dive at some shit? Can you bathe some shit? You're playing PE class, bro. It's just, yeah. Don't let the ball go in. I got it. But now you have to be good with the ball at your feet as a goalie. And that's too many things for an American athlete.

You can't be good at more than two things in one body. Yeah, that's absurd. Matt Turner, that isn't you, bro. It ain't, I'm sorry. And that's okay. He's going out sad, brother. Oh, my God. I hope you enjoy being an MLS next analyst.

Where's he playing now? MLS. He went to Fries. MLS. He went back to back to Bats, MLS after. Yeah. Which truth be told, listen, everybody who's good enough to be on a European roster should be on a European roster. But I do think now that the national team should be MLS players.

Because that's the only guys with the chip on the back correctly. It's the correct size chip, bro. We have to be playing with the chip, bro. We can't use skill. The only way we're going to get results is having an attitude. Yeah. Yeah, bootstrapping it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You need like a bunch of white guys who play in the NBA. Yeah, listen, bald Landon Donovan was right. I didn't want to admit it at the time when he was bald, and I wasn't listening to him because he was bald. My apologies mouth. But remember when you said? We don't know shit. He was like, yo, we need to, like our start.

We should all be together like the way Germany or like any other big European nation has all their like Spain. Like all their stars are playing in the domestic league, bro. It's about being close to each other. And everybody was like, Shut your bald ass up. Yeah. I mean, on the flip side, if the U.S. team was going to be super competitive,

then the standard would be like, bro, if you're not playing in Europe, bro, get the fuck out my face. I mean, Cleansman was trying, that was kind of his vision at first. It was sort of like the level has to be higher than just playing the MLS All-Stars. And he, fuck this, he'd have made one that fuck this up. Yeah. Dreaming about getting better contracts and stuff. Fucking ridiculous. All right.

Is it a Klinsman that was like, by this point, you should have won one, win the World Cup. if you guys could just be bothered to all play football. If you've invested in football, you should win the... Yeah, yeah. When he came into, he was doing... Rightfully, I thought he was like, look, you guys have so many immigrants

in this country who are coming from places where they give a fuck about soccer. Like, that really needs to be developed, embraced more, just nationally, right? Because, like, you have a feeder system already with people who are, like, coming from homes that are literate in the sport. And also, like, using that to your advantage

rather than like, because, you know, like playing competitive soccer in America, it's become like a class thing. Like, it's not available for everyone, especially when you're playing. I did actually say that to, I just took my little one to a park today to kick a ball around. And there's some other kids, when you're in England, it's just everywhere you go. Kids playing football all the time. Yeah, going to kick about. It's good.

And then I was like telling one of my favorite, one of my favorite things to tell English people that something's expensive and they just can't believe it. And I was like, they go, yeah. We live in America a woman. It's $40 for half an hour. Wow. I thought 26 a month was expensive. And then, you know, immediately, immediately we're singing the national anthem.

God save the quay. We were in Weatherspounds within seconds of me telling her that price. Oh, I, all right. I mean, listen, Clint's been, through my, he was like, it's like trying to fix Tottenham what he was doing. Yeah, sure. Doing too much. And then getting all frustrated.

then making moves out of spite, which was fucking us on the back end. He's like the perfect person you want to fuck shit up in a bad way. Because then like, was it the Korean national team that he was coaching then after that? And then wasn't even like living near Korea

at all? He was like, man, you know, I'm kind of where the shit's at right now. Didn't Urbara Badgera linked to that talk about 2013 about the Italian system being broken? I could absolutely do this. a lot of these guys in football in different countries and institutions you know like Ralph Ranganick

when he was at Manu just going guys everything is fucked right now and then someone going to fix it hey I'll just tell you it's fucked and then people go we don't want to hear that see you later

yeah exactly yeah we want solutions not problems that was the Howard Dean screen of football When he's like, we're going to go to a White House. Yeah. And people were like, oh, bro, this dude is talking about universal health care, but I didn't like that yell. So get out of here.

Thank you for identifying the problem. All right. But actually, before we go to break, Sweden, having a good old time putting it to Poland. I took the Wa to Poland. I took the Giac to Poland. Dude, Victor Yacquerez. Just lighten it up with Grand Potter. Did he work?

Was Grand Potter managing Brighton by the time when he was there for that little bit? Or no, did they not overlap enough? Just trying to think. Anyway, I don't know if that's right. But he only played like five games for them. Yeah, that's true. That's true. But yeah, because of that result, Sweden through Poland, not so much.

Victor, bro, he's, it was nice to see him scoring. goals. It felt good as an Arsenal fan. Felt important. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Going into this next section. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he keeps the jeans off for us. Yeah. Maybe he at least cuts him down to cutoffs.

Yeah. Yeah. He's just he's got jewels. He's got some. Yeah. Well, maybe right now he's just done what Bucayo does with his socks and just cut little holes where the calves go. You know? And he's like, that's my first layer. Okay. And if I get past that, then there'll be cutoffs. Then there'll be Daisy Dukes. Then I

I'll be nude and then I'll be fully liberated. But yeah, I mean, he's a hero in Sweden. And he should be a hero to the big guys at IKEA. I'm looking for IKEA to do a huge thing for the World Cup now. Sweden plays in Houston. Right. IKEA, it's y'all time. I need you guys to really turn up, make the meatballs bigger.

Do some sort of special, like. Something Swedish. Yeah. His name already sounds like an Ikeye's. I don't. Like, if I saw that on a label, I'm like, what is this? A face towel? Oh, yeah. It's like a, yeah, it's like a special little table for like your mag safe of phone charger.

Oh, you, oh, you're living it up. You got the Yakorez charging table? Yeah, yeah. Okay. It's wood with a magnet in it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's the ultimate honor in Sweden is if you do so well in a sport rather than a statue, they name a piece of IKEA furniture after you. He gets like a Swedish listeners call in.

Do we have this right? Is that the highest honor from, at least from my very narrow perspective, it's that you have an IKEA item named in your honor. I believe that would be the highest plane. I mean, even for me, I'm an IKEA fan. Even if they change the name of the meatballs

to my name for one day, that would mean I made it. The IKEA in just outside Edinburgh and the place called Straiton, they were my wife from. They give kids an apple on the way in as a snack. That's a lovely touch. Little apple is a snack.

Damn, just for pulling up. Yeah, just pulling up, getting an apple. My son was like, this place rules. There's someone just clocking the kids at the door and they're like, okay, here's your apple. Damn, because the American one, they like make you, they make your kids become lost. Like, they don't, it's an op, they spin your child around five times.

Right. And then they spray you down with like a chemical spray like it was Chernobyl or some shit. Yeah. You know, they're like, get this kid. They are dirty as fuck. All right, welcome to IKEA. Everything's fine. Everything's fine.

All right, let's take a quick break when we come back. It's time to address the elephant in the room. After this. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind. Now, I've got my own show. So if you're tired of lazy takes, if you want honest conversations, join us each week.

We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to, to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is?

I don't know. You mean the like the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. the La Croixette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket

and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the famous author, Roald Doll. He thought up Willie Wonka and the BFG. But did you know he was a spy? Neither did I. You can hear all about his wildlife story in the podcast, The Secret World of Roald Doll.

All episodes are out now. Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. What? Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy. Binge all 10 episodes of The Secret World of Roll Doll.

now on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So Man City, they beat us in the Carlin Cup final. I called it the Carlin Cup final. Look at me. I'm time traveling. They care about Cup final. There you go.

Then they got to the FAA Cup. They're playing Liverpool. They beat the shit out of Liverpool 4-0. But I'm not surprised because this is a Liverpool team that couldn't even be taught them. So I'm a little bit, I'm taking that with a grand assault. The thing that I think is terrifying for Arsenal fans, a certain form of trauma is seeing Erling Holland have a hat trick in this match

and seeing his goony cupa-trupa-ass face being like he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he. Like, he's back. That is a little bit terrifying, but that's a very specific thing that I think is only terrifying when you juxtapose the results of the last few matches and the way Arsenal has played

and feeling really terrible about that because I do remind myself that they've had some weird results also. Before nil, were any of you surprised by the result or did you even think did you think Liverpool would at least give them a match on some level? I mean obviously I'm hoping for it

because that means either city's vulnerable or whatever but yeah no I thought you see that you think city bro that's theirs. Yeah, yeah. I just sorry, I just wasn't distracted if you heard a noise. I was just checking when Harlan's last

YouTube video came out two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. He's had a break. He's had a two week break. Okay. He's working all prosthetics. He probably said.

Yeah, he's got a different nose coming. If he puts one out before the Chelsea match, they're going to drop points. 100%. Yeah, let's see what happens there. People are losing their minds about Arsenal's loss of Foreman Man City, you know, quote unquote, playing well. But City have done this a lot this season. They've had a couple of years.

All right, they're back. They're back, baby. Then they just drop points in a game. Arsenal, I'm not. actually, it's quite hard for me to give an informed opinion on the Arsenal game, because I did watch it in a pub in Eastbourne, and I forgot, there was a live band on in one half of the rooms, there was no commentary. Oh, right.

And I forgot on, and I hadn't been at a pub at night time in the UK much. And so I forgot how casually everyone is on cocaine. Like, there was just so many people on cocaine in this pub, just like, just around I was a sort of I was kind of mesmered I was kind of mesmered by Max grinding

yeah yeah I hear of teeth grinding and a lot of very wide eyes and I was kind of watching the people as much as Max Downman and Ben White

missing headers so it's quite often me to concentrate but except Ben for that white Tanali's old Adrian was in the back yeah

yeah yeah what's up hey guys hey what's up you're trying to get right well what do you want like a freaking, you want a ball for like

frigging, I'll give it you for like 150 pounds, bro. You want a rail replacement service I got over here for the English? I'm running the, I'm running the GNER, bro. Now defunct Great Northeast Railway, bro. Come up to freaking Newcastle, bro. When you said that? I was like, is that what you were?

Yep, I went there, GNER and Newcastle, baby. We was out here. LNER is now sort of the one that is, wow, anyway, Sorry, that's a different company. Anyway, no, no, that's just fantastic knowledge of retro rail lines. I always, because people always talk about the cocaine epidemic in the UK, like in the UK, and I always see like on English TikTok, there's so many memes of people just yacked out all the time.

Are people, is it like the 80s in the US where people don't even go to the bathroom to do this shit? Yeah, there's a lot of, I mean, I think there's a lot of keys used in the sort of, that's the only reason people have keys in 2020s and things. But the one thing I will say about it, cocaine in England, is it's a real, you know, the UK's quite a class-based system and stuff.

But I tell you what, in terms of everyone... Equality. Like, equality, it's not, it's, it's, I think it's cut with loads. Again, I've really, I've never done it. So I'm a little good boy in that respect. But it knows no,

no social status or anything. But apparently it's all, cut with loads of dodgy stuff. So my mate, so I was texting them going, I forgot on how much everyone's on cocaine here. Anyway,

it's not really coke. It's more pub dust. It's just, oh, it's just sort of a communal something that everyone gets involved with. You, it's mostly,

mostly B12. It's basically like the powder from a packet of scampi fries that everyone shoves up there. You know, Popeyes, they call it Cajun Sparkle. They do that.

They cut it with an emergency and some baby laxative. And they step on it with that. I like the, it's kind of like New York with like the deli sandwich. You know what I mean? Like they're all like $8.50. Yeah, yeah. That's nice. Is that like $1.50 slices?

Badega sandwich? Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah. They're $1.50 slices. You know what I mean? It's like, look, if you want, you could go to Lucali's or whatever where it's pop in for that New York. It's right here. But if you need a buck 50, just to get it in, we're.

right here. Call it pub dust. Shit. Pub dust is so fucking funny. So, well, don't feel bad about, yeah, don't feel bad about not being locked in. Honestly, like, soccer podcast, hosts missing the game

that they're talking about is like a part of the industry. Like, fucking, like, Alan Shear never watches every game on an episode of This is football. This is always got a charity event. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. That's true. But when you were like watching it in that context. You're not like... It's a distract. Yeah, because... Yeah. I'm like, I'm like going...

I'm like, every time I look... I'm looking at, oh, we're pretty good. It was very end to end. It was like, it was perfect for a bunch of people on cocaine. It was just like, wow, it's good. You don't want to see a controlled... You don't want to see a controlled, slow build-up game when you're on Lodzig for Pub Dust.

Yeah, right, right. It was... But I do... I will say, and then I got home, and then I got home after, I had drunk two, I watched the second half at home. And I was too intense to me. That's so funny. They're like, you, ambiately, too many people are flying on cocaine at this bar. I can't even, I can't even watch this match.

No, it was too distracting. So then I went, but I did drink like two and a half. Again, I had two and a half guineasasas quite quickly. Got home and then I ate Easter eggs watching a second half. But I actually thought, right, how is your stomach, bro? I was on my own version of cocaine. I was on. I was on.

I was on. Easter is. I was on Jesus's cocaine, a chocolate. Getting right. But I actually thought Arsenal, like, everyone was like, it's a disgrace. I was like, I actually thought they played okay and just got a little bit unlucky because of individual errors. But because of the context of it, it's like Saddampton and the, but also played like missing so many of their very key players to winning a game. Oh, yeah.

The spine was screwed. We put in anemic team, yeah. Yeah, once I saw a keeper, I looked at the team sheet. I saw a long name that started with the letter A and I said, I'm good. This is crap. We got Ariaga and Bariaga and Bezotza from the Simpsons out there. Yeah, whoever. Yeah, I mean, like, that five million that we paid.

Everyone's like, what a bargain? You're like, that feels expensive. I don't know. We just kicked two trophies in the ass with this motherfucker and goal. I mean, not that this was all on Kepa, but like everybody looks terrible. I mean, a lot of people, except for Max Downman. But I do want to get to who looked up. Like, I think I was saying this in our text threat, I was like, look, a match like this,

it just makes it clear who the fuck is not making the cut anymore. And the places that we have to get really real about if we're going to have a team with this kind of fluency and fluidity from, you know, from competition to competition with different 11s, the quality just has to be better. Like, Ben White, I'm sorry, bro. It's time. I think it's time this summer. You know what I mean?

Thank you. But it's just not working out right now. I mean, he'll go destroy Syria. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, and look, between his injuries and things like that, he's just not the same player. And I think for where we're at and where we're aspiring, like we just don't, unfortunately,

we don't have like the margins to be like, oh, okay, you completely missed that header and that led to a goal. Although Max Dowman on that goal could have got his ass back. He was asleep defensively. That's a 16-year-old who just like wants to do the fun stuff. He wants to do that. Gabby, Gabby Jesus,

my guy, thank you, but no thank you. I saw a lot of tweets about, thank you for the three months in 2022, but since then,

since the knee, it's been God, exactly, that first half right before the fucking World Cup and Cutter, bro, he was,

he had me believe, I was like, this is what we fucking need it. This guy is like a fucking downed electric wire in the middle of the street. Like, near him and it's freaking you out.

Which I do see often as I am living in a pit still. Yeah, I know. We'll get to the pit in a second. What about Miles? Not me. Louis Skelly. It feels like he's just been, it's been

diminishing return since the highs of that city match last season. Well, I do feel a bit unlucky for him because last season if we're going to get tactical on this, he was an inverted fullback a lot and essentially playing as a midfifference. fielder, which is his position.

He's got very press resistant, good to go. He's not great one-on-one defender, which this season, Artetta, to platform rice better as a box to box midfielder has made the left-back stay at left-back. So he just kind of gets a bit hung out to driving by the system every time.

There's talk of, like, man, you wanting him and stuff, and I think that would be bad. I don't know, I feel bad for it. Like, these guys, these young players come through and look amazing. then they always, they do hit a slight wall with Artetta, but yeah, he just, I guess if he's not tactically what he needs,

then you know what's on the cards with Mikkel. Yeah, it's just been, I think like with the performances, I've just been like, damn, bro, you don't, you kind of look a shell of yourself. Like it, even though there's some just the errors and things like that, it just didn't feel like, it could be the pressure. I don't know. I would like, because I am named after him.

My parents named me after him. retroactively. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I told them to do that, even though the spelling is all fucked up. Beforehand, you had a different Arsenal player's name who's a floor. You have to change your name if he gets sold to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My name was Junichi Inamoto. Okay. Yeah, yeah. For one of the first Japanese players that ever played for Arsenal. I don't even think he played in the Premier League for them once. But yeah, it was definitely like one of those performances that makes, you get freaked out when you're like, we just lost this car to care about Cup.

final, we're losing this to a to lower league opposition, which is not a good look. If I'm going to cope, I go, yeah, bro, we, we didn't put a team out there where Artetta was like, I'm not fucking around, bro, we're getting to the fucking semifinals of the FAA Cup. Like, fuck all that.

He definitely played a team that was like, these guys should be able to beat Southampton. If the faith that I'm having in them and looking at them, this should be enough quality to beat them. But unfortunately, just a lot of people didn't show up. I'm just going to give South having a little credit

because it's not it's not. Yeah. It's a home game. They're a championship team. That's actually not that big of an advantage. Like, I think you like these people are hungry, bro. They're playing in fucking, they're in the G league, man.

They're playing how the U.S. needs to be playing. Yeah, exactly, bro. They're in the fucking D league, all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll die for this shit. But, you know, luckily, but the thing is, too, we we have history. And our history is very mixed. It's not been straight out domination from

us with them. So they're kind of, they're one of those teams too that look at us and they're like, bro, we can have that. Like, and we've done it before. We've fucked up their Christmases before with some results or some draws and things like that. And they thought he had a great game too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No. I mean, like the, their, Stuart, is that their striker?

Bro, he was, his big ass was giving us problems too. Listen, you've also got to give a shout out to, um, to Shea Charles, who just is so close to being called Rachel. It's like, uh, Someone could be called TV Wonder. TV Wonder.

You know, TV Wonder is flat, you know. Little TV Wonder, baby. That is a great display name on old Twitter. Call me TV Wonder. It's the International Superstar Soccer, like, version where for some reason they've got old blind musicians. names the book, I can't get the rights. Old Blind Musician 11.

Oh my God. Shane Charles, man. What if that golf, oh, God, that was, that was, that is the weird thing

about watching these cups, so you can't help, but just be, I was watching it, admittedly, like I said, I'd come out of essentially a war zone and I was eating Easter eggs.

You were like fucking Tom Hanks in that D-Day landing scene in Private Ryan with the explosion goes off. It's like, oh, you can barely hear anything. I was like,

this is, but then it went in and I was like, all right, there's two less games. Like, that's how I, that just shows my real emotion.

Like, if that's a league game or the Champions League, I'm, I'm going back to that pub, mate. Yeah. You're like, yo,

where the pub does that? I'm like, oh, hey, get me some fucking dashed. You're like, your wife's like, think of your son. You're like,

nah, I don't got one no more. I'm going to the pit. If Jamel in the pit, I'm in the pit, the pub. Yeah, that is, I definitely looked, if I'm looking at the positives, to your point, it's two less games. The thing that's fucked up is we went from being, competing on four fronts and have that shit in a matter of weeks down to two. But to be honest, those are the two that

matter the most to me personally. And I think, I think to the club, these are the two that matter the most. I feel like you win the Champions League or the Premier League, you've bought yourself more time. I think the Premier League feels like the one that absolutely has to be one given our point advantage and just how far we've come. That has to happen. But like I want to be able to say like, it doesn't matter. It felt like it should because we were, we were demonstrably doing so well that it made sense to sort of be like, okay, this, we could potentially win four different things. But I think that's where the depth and the injuries and just the overall strain on the squad kind of revealed itself.

Limping into this shit, man, for sure. I saw, uh, at practice. As a, as he's going to be back for the Bournemouth game. He posted happy Easter and then was back. Any Bible verses? Just that he has risen, just a classic. It better be a 316. You know what I mean?

No, he did. He posted verse, he posted shit where Jesus hopped out the cave. Oh, okay. I'm back. Oh, did he? Oh, he's. So he gave him, so he's in the Easter basket with it. Maybe that's.

Okay. Okay. That's a little good news. And Gabrielle was at practice and Artetta was acting weird as hell. He made, he had them all like holding hands. Holding hands with their pens. Yeah, like with pins. And then like, yeah, they like had to like hold the ball up like there.

It was like, it looked nuts. You know our test. You know our test. Yeah, yeah, you've got to look at the video this. You know, you know, you're on the verge of a three-match losing streak when he starts whipping out the LinkedIn's. The LinkedIn moves. They start doing improv, like, you know.

Okay, guys, we're going to do a little more structure. So first we're going to start up with where we are and what the big day is. Okay, that'll make it easier, guys, because usually in improv, the onus is on the person who's speaking first in the scene. So we're going to say it's the fucking F-A-Cup quarterfinal guys and you're playing Southampton. And you're going to fucking beat them, guys. Let me see what that looks like motherfuckers.

This shit, this video from today looked like, guys, if we don't win against sporting tomorrow the next time we do this drill, it is going to be on the edge of a cliff. You're like, it is going to be on the line. We're at Colony right now, but we will be on the cliffs of Dover doing this exact same shit if y'all keep fucking around.

Walking the plank. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is like, I'm thinking of like, okay, well, who's going to come back into the team? You know, like, that'll be different from this, from what we just saw against Southampton. And I'm like, okay, as a maybe, but he's still like a doubt, it seems like. It's also. Rice is come back in. You're going to have rice back? Saka's not going to be out for, Saka's out.

I don't want to see Saka for, I don't want to see Saka. Some of the old man city. Big Gabby, Rice, and Trassard. Perfect. But I'm looking at Drossard and I'm like, bro, you've, you're in a, you're in a valley right now. He's Drossard right now. Yeah, he's Drossard.

Yeah, he's absolute draw. But Saka, at least with Saka this year, you got Maddowhe, you've got someone who can, if Gabrielle or Rice are out, you are a bit screwed there because there's not, I was just trying to think who'd be, if you don't have Salaibre and Gabrielle, like those guys, again, pretty,

mascara's looked not ready at this point in the running to fill any boots there and Rice again pretty irreplaceable Saka is still our best player I believe but Madoweke is decent and then I mean Dowman for the last I think the lack of tracking back from him means he's a last 10 minute dude you can't really

go against his big team he was our best player in that match he had the most duels won he had the most dribbles in the opposition box he was doing it. So at the very least, I think he made his point that, you know, look, bro,

if you need something, I'm here. I don't think it's fair to be like, okay, bro, we're going to count on you for the run in here. But I think at the very least, it's like,

okay, so that is something that can be deployed when needed. But do you think city, you think city are like, they're thinking, here we go,

it's happening. It depends on, I think it probably depends on the results, right? Like if we drop to more, if we drop points going into that match against City.

Depend on the results, yeah. Yeah. But I mean, that's the big one. Because like if we, if, you know, like, if they be, if they drop points to against Chelsea, that's definitely a huge. And like, we don't. That'll be huge going into our match. Well, what the fuck is?

I mean, Chelsea's fucking fucking suspending players and doing all the type of bullshit. I mean, all the Chelsea players don't want to play for Chelsea anymore. And we'll get to that. Cucarilla, Enzo Fernandez. Yeah. Just chatting. And then I was like, it's a weird ban. Our old mate, Liam's done on it.

And so he missed the 7-0 win over Porta. I mean, that's not really a big banning, is it? You know that game was easy for them where, even from the first goal, no one bothered celebrating. Right. They were like, this is, this doesn't count. Yeah, exactly. This won't be in a.

Portals. A sort of funny meme. Do you ever see that Michael Owen, skill? like video. You know back in the late 90s, early naughties where full players would have like, hey, I'm Michael Owen, this is my video and how to be really good at football.

He plays, he does his like one-on-ones but against a 13-year-old goalie and he just buries it each time. So the meme was like, shit, I'm eight, he's 13. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it felt like. Watch this shit. Look at you.

Get your weight up, kid. Maybe you can stop one next time. You want to go? You want to go? That's it. You're pathetic. You're weak. He's not even got pubs, mate.

And he's a late developer. What was I going to say? But yeah, no, obviously Chelsea won that and look good, but you're right. But he's going to be banned for the Man City game, which I don't know, doesn't. That feels like significant, but maybe not. Because also, I've read a stat where they lose a lot when he plays them. But yeah, you're right. If City drop points there and ask for people, Wormouth.

And there's a chance Enzo showed up to training in blackface. Yeah. You know, maybe the banning was warranted. Maybe the banning was warranted. Yeah, you never know. You never know. All right, let's take one more break. And we can wrap up some loose ends.

Some things have happened to around the week that we can touch on right after this. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind. And now, got my own show. If you're tired of lazy takes, if you want honest conversations, join us each week.

Look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F-1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Crapicorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon? the story of the sports most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention,

and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? The law crusade. God, I love that thing.

I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual poem. Better version of Play Stupid Games win Stupid Prizes.

Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong.

He thought up Willie Wonka and the BFG. But did you know he was a spy?

Neither did I. You can hear all about his wildlife story in the podcast, The Secret World of Roll Doll. All episodes are out now. Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. What? Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you.

I was a spy. Binge all 10 episodes of The Secret World of Roald Dahl. Now on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Can we just do one shout out, by the way? Yeah. You could put it in a set. West Ham Leeds tie of the, tie of the FAA Cup round.

Just the fact that West Ham scored, after the 9th minute got two goals and then from the clutches of defeat still managed to re-blown it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so painful to have that shit. You're like, we're like, we're back in it.

That was one thing I was thinking like in our match against Southampton. I was like, bro, don't even fucking draw, bro. We don't even need this shit. Just fucking eat this hell. Yeah. You don't want to. Do you see the video of the West Ham fan afterwards? They left early. And then there's a bloke is online where he's holding his

phone up and his mate's FaceTiming the penalty shootout because him and a bunch of of West Amphans have already left the stadium and they've seen hit the goal and what the hell. And they're just outside a shop on FaceTime watching the last the penalties. Oh my God. But yeah, both

two, it's interesting because I thought both teams wouldn't care about that game because they battling not to get relegated. But they both really wanted it, man. People won't win trophies. I mean, listen, you got to think, yeah, we're the only ones who don't like those. Yeah. We got an allergy to the finals. It feels like that's, you know, that's what I'm trying to, I'll save all my anger

for it to be righteous if we really fuck, fuck it all up at the end. But I'm still, again, I have to stay in the positive because I'm at Arsenal, Bournemouth, by the way. So, my missus managed to secure me a ticket as a little present. Miles, she said she was texting you to see if you had a connect and then realized that you and her had met 10 years ago. Yeah, yeah. It was crazy. I produced a video for Wired Magazine because I directed a video that was about which home assistant could understand different English accents. So it was like Alexa versus Google or whatever. So I had like a Scottish accent, Italian accent, Japanese accent.

And Matt Kirshin, this British comedian, the English comedian, I know, he was like, oh, I know a Scott. That's how your wife came into the mix. And it was just wild because, yeah, she texted me and I looked and I was like, you talk to this motherfucker in 2016. I was like, what though? And I put it all together. I'm like, oh my God. What, we, we met years ago. Look at us now.

But anyway, you're going to be at the Bournemith match. I don't know if you need to bring the billies. I don't know if you need to bring some kind of energy shield. I made, you know, I nearly bought a new, obviously out of my crystal. I forgot to bring my crystals with me. I nearly just, I was at a farm with my son and they were selling one pound 50 crystals. I was like, I nearly grab one there. But maybe it didn't and we lost.

So maybe. Yeah. Maybe not. Maybe a trip to that farm again. I don't know. I don't want to get too reliant on them. Michael B. Jordan is still like invested in Bormouth, right?

Yeah, yeah. You should watch, like, the middle section of sinners where one of them dies. Watch where he kills one of them. You know what I mean? Not the end, though. Don't watch the end, though.

Just that middle. Where Michael B. Jordan is in peril. A minute 42. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to be fucking, like, You go, don't start doing the Michael v. Jordan.

Like, put a pop in Fruitvale station. Okay. We're doing them all. We're trying to put that energy out there. Oh, yeah. Watch that episode of the wire where they kill him. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What he's young. Yeah. Wallace. Yeah. Yeah. Preach and implant. All right.

So, Deserby at Totman. It's happened. It's something like a five-year deal. Do, I mean, part of me is like, is there a relegation clause? It's wild to hop in there. It's like, okay, man, you know, it's like when you're playing a video game as a kid, and it's like, you know, you suddenly have like three lives in a Nintendo game before you had to start the entire game fucking over and shit, like three continues.

They're on their last continue. And this guy just said, hey, man, you're on the first level and we got to get to eight more levels. Can you get through this without dying once? Please. And if you do, you're going to have a great job. And if not, I don't know, man. sorry, this might be all fucked up. But yeah, he is now at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur.

I'm, I don't know if this changes any. I don't know. I don't know if this has changed how anybody feels. Although it's also hard for me to give a fuck about what's going on because now I'm so focused on what we're doing. I'm like, I fucking ignore these motherfuckers right now. Listen, I wish him the best because shit is scary on our side. For sure.

Wish you the best, man. Roberto, do your thing, my guy. go up take take keep them guide them to safety they only ask you keep saying it they just got to come up with one win yeah exactly it's interesting because everyone's like he's good but he he uh he rattles some cages yeah i mean it feels like chudor did that but i think chudor did that while also rattling all the tactical um knowledge out of everyone i mean he just changes tactics every five seconds yeah didn't start playing a back four for the first time in his career.

God knows how it will go, but he has apologized for being pro-Mason Greenwood. He had to come out and do that, which is a weird one because some people are like, you know, I'm sort of cynical people where he's just doing it, but I mean, at least he was pretty it was a pretty apology

apology, but very easy to do that when the player no longer plays for your team. Yeah, exactly. He actually, I don't know, in fact, he engaged with it, maybe he's trying to win the fans over, but we'll see. We'll see. they only care about him winning games though I'm pretty sure yeah 100% that's all they want to see yeah well it was like

you know I know their fans were on the fence about Tudor because it's like is it too late to make a change he's starting to get results if we if we pull them now are we fucked for sure but I feel like this erbie is just the big enough name and young enough just young enough to yeah yeah he'll get into some asses and he'll actually probably command a little bit more respect than like this random mass substitute teacher who didn't even teach in your district before and is coming in here

now acting confused because you didn't know how rowdy this classroom was going to be? Come on, man. Deserby looks like someone that you see on holiday who has just the craziest jeans. Do you know what I mean? Yeah! Oh, they got like jeans. Various religious symbols

They don't have to play. They don't even have to play league games. They're canceling league games. Yeah, exactly. They know what to do. They're like, fuck them. All full steam ahead. And I mean, if we can just get someone scoring fucking goals for these last few matches,

like we have, we can get something going on. I'm just got to be. That's the difference. That's the difference between the Prem and the French League. The French League, they just fully cancel games.

Can I give one tiny thing I thought was funny, by the way? Before I got online, I forgot to say just before I jumped on here. Andros Townsend, there's a screenshot of him on his TikTok where he's like over Easter, like he's made his own chocolate egg.

I love that honest answer. That's so fucking funny. I'm making a chocolate. chocolate egg on TikTok. You think I'm getting anywhere in wow, I'm looking at this video now. He has straight up, like, influencer eyes.

Like, he's gone to the sunken place. Like, he's no longer a footballer. Wait, this first one is so funny right here with him rotating the egg. Hello. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a hostage video. Yeah, this girl is definitely holding a weapon off camera.

Do an influencer fingernails like ASMR and like the this is the chocolate, okay? And I'm going to make this, my name is Andrews. That's the real reaction of all influences which they were actually doing something else but they've decided that the thing they're going to have to commit to.
