We're Back!

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_00]: The Premier League season is upon us and the boys are back from their long and much deserved break.

[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Corner Flag, I'm Amogh.

[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Prashant.

[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm Mukesh.

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back! Corner Flag is back.

[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_00]: How long were we out for? I think we were out for what? 3 weeks? I think that's the longest break we've taken.

[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I felt like it was longer.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It felt like almost 2 months.

[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It did feel like that.

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think it was a much deserved break. I think we all just needed time away from each other.

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, you didn't want time away from us, Mukhi?

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I just wanted time away from football and Liverpool and yeah.

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's it. Not from you guys. I would have still done this podcast if we were briefly in Olympics podcast.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought about that. The problem is, we had a chance to be a Euro 2024 podcast which we didn't fucking do.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So how and why would we do Olympics?

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Because it's different. You could call it Corner Flag Presents, the bronze medal.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Not really the top level shade but...

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't throw shade at bronze medals. India should get more bronze medals. We should be very proud.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why the podcast is named after what we get.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. So we are a very patriotic podcast, is what you're trying to say.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_04]: If we were anti-national, they would have called it gold medal.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Excellence is against our ethic.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, absolutely. What has been up man? I honestly do feel like I'm seeing you guys after a long time.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Mukhi of course I've seen a lot more because we do tend to work together.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Prashant, I haven't seen in months because he lives in a country that is not India.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_00]: So let's start with you Prash. What's been going on with you? How did you spend this time away from Corner Flag and from football?

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: What did you do? What has been up? What's new?

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, F1 also was on a break so that sport has gone off the windows and I had to basically watch movies.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: What a great update Prashant. Literally not...

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Excuse me, it's my update.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's my update. It's your turn, you give your update.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Shots being fired already.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's wait for before you come into Liverpool at your turn.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's about it man. It's just done with football. Nothing else. I'm just happy I didn't read anything about football.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't want to know anything what Chelsea was up to but yet the notifications kept going and does not look good.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Or it looks extremely good.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. I don't know.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: When I saw the pre-season game and I said, okay.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's where I left it at and I said, okay fine. That's about it. Let's see what the season goes in.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: But the partner just walked.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I hate it when you have those break times in the sport that you follow.

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Like for us it's football right but you also follow F1 like you said.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I hate it when both the sports go on break at the same time and that's the worst thing.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Because that's why I love years where there's international tournaments or whether it's the Euros like it was this year or wherever it's the World Cup.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is fun.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Because in that off season you still get some football and then it's just a couple of weeks where there's no football and that's fine.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But when it's two full months of no football, that just feels very weird.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like you don't know what to do with yourself.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But my wife is also like, oh you have time to hang out with me.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I have a wife? What is happening?

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I was asked a similar question. Oh, you guys are recording today.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's still happening.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_03]: You guys are active.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: The haters may hate but we will never fall down.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Mookie what's been up with you?

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It's too weird right?

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I was going to say my version of this is that you know there are a lot of these football Twitter accounts that you follow and obviously during the break time you don't really follow them.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you come back almost like say a month or two, almost two months since Premier League football.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_04]: So two, three months later you come back and then you're catching up with those accounts also.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Like you're like, oh man, my little Liverpool niche account.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you're a Trump supporter now.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know this about you in a non-election year.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But clearly, oh you're racist about, oh you don't think Muslims, okay got it.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: But just tell me the Liverpool transfer cause of the idea.

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little bit of a deal.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Do your job man, do your job.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care about your political views which are troublesome to say the least.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Tell me if McAllister is signing a new contract or not.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. Be a niche account only.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Transfer, football transfer related activity only.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Do not give me your political opinions.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. You can make multiple accounts on social media websites guys.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Use that feature, it is very, very important.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_00]: That's also my favorite type of social media, fuck up right?

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It is when brand managers or like social media managers who have multiple brand accounts on their phone,

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: logged into their Instagram will shitpost from what they think is their private account.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Burger King says fuck, fuck these guys.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Just McDonald's saying Arsenal is a fuck all team.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody asked you McDonald's, give me a fucking Happy Meal.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all you're here for.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep, so I have basically found out a lot of Liverpool Twitter accounts I follow are racist.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I am not surprised.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I need to follow new Twitter accounts.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Have you heard Chelsea fan club? Sorry.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_04]: But these guys are racist only in elections where Chelsea fans are I think.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Throughout.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_04]: They don't need the hype of elections to display.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Historical value there is.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But yes, it is time for football to start right?

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_00]: We are about what three days four days away from the kickoff of the new Premier League season.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_00]: How are we all feeling man now that the season is here?

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's start off with you only Prash because I think the biggest talking point is Chelsea's transfer window.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I have to say at the time of recording Chelsea have not signed any new player.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: The last player they signed was Pedro Neto from Wolves.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But by the time this episode releases, I am pretty certain they will sign like 50 more.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So we are very sorry guys that we can't be up to date.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_00]: It is the medium that it is alright.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like we record on Mondays, we release on Tuesdays.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So whatever happens in life we can't really do anything about it.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: We can't go back to the recording and edit it and say by the way this is also an ad.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_03]: But also the number of signings and loans and all of that that has been like business on goings of Chelsea has just been huge.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean huge is an understatement.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Really?

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah because because because eight goalkeepers like I don't even want to go to the rest of the squad.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_00]: There are eight goalkeepers in your team.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Eight people if eight people come to my five a side football group.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: We can actually manage a 4v4 also if nobody else is playing and we will have a nice light out.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That much you have goalkeepers.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you think the goalkeepers are going to do?

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_03]: They are going to play a five by five.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean can you as a Chelsea fan try and explain what the thinking behind this.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I have a theory but I want you to try and explain this first because obviously you are a Chelsea fan so you deserve the opportunity.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Well two things one is they're going to create versions of the team in absolute whatever.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: They're going to try and create as many versions of this team version one version two version three version four and then they're going to try and take things and elements from here.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Whichever version works the best it's obviously going to just or variations of that is going to be like in part of your sub list whenever they go for different games between the Premier League before between any of the European games and all that stuff.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Which comes to the second part that the important thing is that when they know that there's a certain player that's reached a certain level they know that there will be players who will be required in other clubs.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: They're just going to loan them off because this is a business decision.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: They bring in a lot of players make or give them some kind of valuation behind it or reduce their valuation behind it depending on how good or bad the player is and adjusting into the club.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And that automatically becomes a business decision whether we want to keep this clear or not.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it loops back into point one whether they're going to be in part of variation one variation two or whichever thing itself.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_00]: That is what basically basically what you're trying to say is Todd Bolley is Marvel.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Marvel Cinematic Universe created Todd Bolley is a sacred timeline.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Earth 212 timeline.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Earth 600 timeline.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: There's like alternate and multiple versions of Deadpool and Wolverine and fucking Fantastic Four or all of those are in the sacred timeline.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So this is where Chelsea does not need somebody to sell their players.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Chelsea needs the fucking time variant authority.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what basically to put in a plug.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It is the age of heroes.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh wow!

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow!

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: It is no I feel like what Todd Bolley is also doing is and this is a classic American mistake.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay and I empathize because unfortunately he is American and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_00]: So I feel that he has bought a football team and he still thinks that this is American football.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he has understood that this is a different sport because in NFL in American football they have 50 players squads.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they have an entirely different squad that they sub on for certain plays like it's so segmented American football.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That for a defensive play you need to change your entire squad and get like a defensive squad in to play out a defensive play and an offensive play.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Different players so for every different strategy.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Amogh really had nothing to do these last two months.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes that's how bad things are guys.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: By the way there was a rugby tournament that was on so anyway I caught that as well.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So anyway.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So I feel the problem is that Todd Bolley is American.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Like most problems it stems from the fact that he is American.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is what is happening.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: But of course the latest transfer is Pedro Neto from Wolves.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: One thing is I don't know why players are still accepting to go to Chelsea.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like players don't know what is going on in life.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_00]: What is going on in the world.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. But I need to ask you this Prashant.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Who are the 8 goalkeepers? Can you please name these?

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know man. I literally woke up today morning singing only one song.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Pedro Pedro Pedro Pedro.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: That's it. Now tomorrow there will be another one when they sign up another player.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: That is it.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I please just say that's a f**k all chant like that.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course it is.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not a chant.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_03]: One second that is a song. I don't know if you know the song.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't know this song?

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I don't know this song.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Have you not heard Pedro Pedro Pedro Pe?

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I have to send you this song.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, who's it by?

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a really old French song which has been remade

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and became into like a popular dance pop song

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and it is just...

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't know who the artist is

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: but it just became a really pop dance song right now

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and has become a raccoon meme if anybody knows about this.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Prashant, the...

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I had a lot of time on this.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I have a lot of time.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_00]: The areas of the internet that you're going into

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: are quite scary.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you know what?

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna tell this to our listeners.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Why don't you guys send Amogh the meme

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_03]: after this episode is done?

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_03]: He knows it because Amogh doesn't know jack shit

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_03]: about what is happening with meme culture.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay?

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_03]: There.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Also Prashant, I love the enthusiasm.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_00]: We have five listeners.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to say any shit.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wait for it.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have been less worried

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_04]: if Prashant was in some dark web or something

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_04]: but some of these...

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever these words he's spewing out

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like, wow, I really don't even know this.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You know how back in the day

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_00]: there were rumors that if you play a...

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Was it...

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And you listen to heavy metal more than the rest of us

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: but was it Metallica or Led Zeppelin or something?

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_00]: If you play their songs in reverse

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_00]: it's like a prayer to Satan.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That's given to so many bands.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Led Zeppelin was definitely one of them.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Slayer has fallen prey to one of this but yes.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So basically that was the concept, right?

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They're so bad.

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They're so Satanic.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: If you play their song in reverse

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_00]: it means Satan will come to your bedroom.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Basically.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this Pedro Pedro Pedro song

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: if you play it reverse

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_00]: you just end up buying like five Bitcoin

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_00]: or five Dogecoin or something.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the new age.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the new age fucking urban legend

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: that must be going around.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But yes, Chelsea is bloated to go out.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like what I want to understand is how

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_00]: does financial fair play

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_00]: or profit in sustainability

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_00]: or any of these rules that apply to...

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Intelligent.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Just because I said these words.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, I'm like how you're expecting?

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't think any of this is factored into any of this.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I don't think we just have to live with the

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_04]: knowing that it's corruption.

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I feel like this is the Indiaization

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_04]: of the Premier League.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_04]: You know it's like you factor into the bribe

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_04]: that you have to pay to the ticket collector.

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_04]: When you account for total cost.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's like you do the illegal thing.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Todd Bolley is basically living YOLO life.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean also can I please recommend

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_00]: that Hindenburg Research look into Todd Bolley

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: and less into Adani because now like

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: every time they come up with a oh there we have

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_00]: a we have a sensational new expose.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like,

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to be all social media

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_00]: teaser account about this like guys new video

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_00]: dropping tonight.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to be Fabrizio Romano for the real shit.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Here we go news cam.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Here we go Adani k paas hi aane wala hai but

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe you should look into Todd Bolley.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, what was the question?

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_00]: No, there was no question.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: My question or concern was ki yaar.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: How do they factor in the profit and

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: sustainability around it?

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So they do.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: So one of the things that before they made

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: some signings towards the last to the tail end

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_03]: of the season.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever this itself.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I think one or two signings they were very

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_03]: specific that they don't want to like make

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_03]: it official on paper because it goes against

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: the rules itself.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So I obviously don't know the absolute

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: details behind it but as far as I know

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: they definitely are struggling and will be

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: struggling because of the ins and out

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_03]: that you've been doing for the last couple

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_03]: of years.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Because they've been doing this for so long

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_03]: they have to continue doing this

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_03]: because without having enough income

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_03]: meaning the loan amount that coming

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_03]: in at some point or the other they

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: will not be able to sell off also

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that many players.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if any of that makes

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: sense to you guys but they are

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_03]: definitely factoring all of this in

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_03]: can they get away with it?

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It's probably just about a matter of time

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_03]: when if some of the signings don't go

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: through their way they will get caught

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_03]: into this thing.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah but I feel like they'll still get

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_00]: punished before Man City gets punished

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: because Man City also got punished for

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_00]: a massive amount of 2.5 million pounds

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: for delaying kickoffs.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I suppose yeah.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the hill the Premier League

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: wants to die on.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Your financial impropriety on one side

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: but you kicked off late bro.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the worst thing that you could do.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But Pedro Neto you are excited about

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Pedro Neto because he's a good player.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: He's been in scintillating form for Wolves

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_00]: because most of the other players

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00]: that Chelsea have signed nobody

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking knows like David Washington

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_00]: and all like I have no idea what the

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_00]: fuck these people are but Pedro Neto

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_00]: is actually somebody we have seen

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_00]: play in the Premier League quite

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: regularly for Wolves and he's played

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: he's been a talisman for Wolves

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_00]: as well so it is exciting.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Very excited about it.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: When I obviously got to know

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: about the signing I was pretty excited

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and so did Mariska say the same thing

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_03]: like yes I am excited.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: That's about it that's all he just said

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited and I'm going to follow

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: exactly the same words I'm excited

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's it.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I am excited to know which one is

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Pedro Neto like either in this entire

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: labyrinth of people in front of me

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_00]: which one is this new guy.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You must be very disappointed

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_00]: about this Mookie because

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Pedro Neto was also rumored to be

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_00]: a target for Liverpool for a while

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_00]: and he does seem like a player that

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_00]: fits into the Liverpool side of

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: things the Liverpool style of play.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_04]: He seems a little bit like a

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_04]: beta Diogo Jota.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Diogo, Diogo, Beta.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_04]: But we're coming back guys.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_00]: This is just the warm up.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh by the way just to talk about

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_04]: like the weird shit we were

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_04]: following off season I was watching

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_04]: a lot of archery.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah that's where I had reached.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I reached fucking I was watching

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Turkish archery.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I reached equestrian dressage dude.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It is fucking beautiful to watch

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: those horses do what they do.

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_00]: It is incredible but anyway.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm guessing a lot less

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_04]: financial mismanagement and

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_04]: corruption there.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't be surprised this is

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: this is horses dude horses are

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking expensive rich people own

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_00]: horses so I am sure there's lots

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: of gamla over there.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Gafla, gamla whatever gamla is a

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking flower pot what am I saying?

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Jumla.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Jumla.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Right that is the word that is

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: the word.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You've also been taking Hindi classes.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Well done.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_04]: No but yeah yes quite

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_04]: disappointing as a transfer window

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_04]: overall not just because of Pedro

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Naito because because I mean I was

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_04]: okay with Pedro Naito being signed.

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean it would have been great

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_04]: definitely not saying that oh I've

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_04]: had it.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want him anyway.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Definitely had a crush.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Definitely was interested.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Not cool enough to be like didn't

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_04]: care never wanted it.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_04]: No definitely wanted to tap that

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_04]: but it did not want to tap

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Liverpool so I guess that didn't

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_04]: work out but not super

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_04]: disappointed but definitely super

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_04]: disappointed that number six

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_04]: hasn't been signed yet.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Nobody has been signed.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Actually nobody has been signed

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_04]: yet.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I think Triniyoni is some youth

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_04]: talent that has been caught on to

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_04]: the first team but a lot of kids

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: have been sold.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: That does not sound right.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That does not sound right.

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Just go rewind say that again.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_00]: We are talking in a football

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_00]: context right.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Young players from the academy

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_00]: who are legally allowed to transfer

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_00]: clubs and earn a lot of money

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_00]: through a professional contract

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_00]: have done the same.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I like how Mukhi just said also

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: in a football club.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: While they were they have other

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: side income but they also are in.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah pretty much all the kids

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_04]: who I think who won the Kaling Cup

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_04]: have been sold because it's

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_04]: saying around the slot is like

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_04]: not interested in having a bloated

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_04]: kiddie pool.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow he's like going at it not

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_00]: only is he like stamping his

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_00]: authority at Liverpool but he's

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: also firing shots at Chelsea.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: They can be room for only one

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: ball day.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Enzo, you are a fool and I am a fool.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_00]: This is how the real fool does it.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: There are four main fools this year.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's all fools.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah Zubimendi is the player

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_00]: that is being linked the most

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_00]: to Liverpool and I feel like

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_00]: the transfer out of Fabio Carvalho

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's 20 million pounds

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_00]: to Brentford is so that they

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: can fund this Zubimendi transfer.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But did you like Fabio

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Carvalho at Liverpool when the

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_00]: five minutes that he played

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_04]: for Liverpool?

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Two minutes I had gone to the

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_04]: loop.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_04]: So in the three minutes.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So close.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why Klopp is a shit

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_00]: manager.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00]: That is precisely why he doesn't

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: care about you Mukesh.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_00]: He does not know when you take

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_00]: lube rigs.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Useless.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Useless.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Glad he's gone.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Mukesh broke after hearing that.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He broke heavily.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I slapped Mukesh's god.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I have taken a piece on his god.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yikes.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_00]: We are really, really going there.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Really going there.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_04]: As I was saying.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah but as of now I think

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_04]: you guys hear about what Real Sociedad

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_04]: has been doing to hold him back.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Apparently they're showing him

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_04]: mountains and paella.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Because he's confused

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_04]: apparently because he's like

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_04]: okay boyhood club versus some

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_04]: club I reckon go give him the

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Premier League.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_04]: But they're showing him pictures

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_04]: of paella and mountains.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You won't get this in Liverpool.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what?

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Brave, brave.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Like whatever right.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_04]: You gotta do what you gotta do.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean if you are in a position

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_00]: that Real Sociedad are finding

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_00]: themselves in like anything

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_00]: and everything will do.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Throw the kitchen sink.

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah just fucking anything.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Pretty much whatever is thrown

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_04]: in the kitchen sink.

[00:22:26] It's what they're showing.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And now finally I think he's

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_04]: made up his mind that they're

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_04]: really trying hard and they're

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_04]: like they're asking him to buy

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_04]: out to buy himself out with

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: about a 60 million released

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_04]: cost of the year.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_04]: So they're just throwing a

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_04]: bitch straight now and so it's

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_04]: delayed or not gonna happen.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Who knows but official word is

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_04]: that it's delayed not denied.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_04]: But I think it's been delayed

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_04]: so much that it's feeling like

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_04]: is it gonna be denied.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04]: They've asked him to fund his

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_04]: own buyout class which I think

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_04]: is a little unfair because

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_04]: given that he's been with

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04]: them apparently since 12.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Right and what he's about 25

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_04]: now so he's been there for

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_04]: more than half his life and

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_04]: now they're treating him like

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_04]: this which I don't know which

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_04]: doesn't say well which

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_04]: doesn't say good things

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_04]: about players who want to like

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_04]: stick out.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: At their home clubs but yeah

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_04]: that's the closest we've come

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_04]: the closest you've come to a

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: transfer is a transfer room.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah that's about it.

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and you lost out on

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Killian Mbappe also because

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: you're also linked to

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Pellingham Mbappe, Messi,

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Ronaldo.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like the slut phase

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_04]: once the love of your life

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_04]: leaves you.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Pelle Maradona like currently

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: from their grave everybody's

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: linked but nobody's coming.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It must be it must be hard to

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_00]: to see the downward

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_00]: trajectory of your club.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what that's like.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_00]: How has Arnish lot's

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: preseason been though?

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_04]: So I've seen a few clips

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_04]: of the football I didn't catch

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_04]: the game against Sevilla

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_04]: which Liverpool won for one

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_04]: they were just scored,

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Trenioli scored and

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Banjwadi scored.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_04]: They seem much calmer in

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_04]: possession now that could

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: just be because it's a

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_04]: preseason warm-up friendly game

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_04]: but the

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_04]: possession is there which I guess

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_04]: in Liverpool in Klopp's

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_04]: final season it wasn't that much

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: it was a lot more frantic.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04]: The whole squad has returned

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_04]: yet because I think that's

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_04]: getting to happen for most clubs

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_04]: but yeah so it looks like

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_04]: they're a much calmer team

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_04]: compared to Klopp's final season

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_04]: but again the lack of

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_04]: wins for forcements is making

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_04]: it really hard to judge

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Arnish lot because it's

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_04]: the same problem right there's

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_04]: no number six and midfield

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_04]: is still a little haywire but

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean as best as it can be

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_04]: but that's not really

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_04]: a good starting place.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_00]: On the other hand United

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_00]: looked actually quite good like

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_00]: the results didn't entirely go

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_00]: away in preseason.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh he's a little cute optimist

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_04]: ready for heartbreak again.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It's happening it's happening

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: again let's go.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00]: No no it's definitely not

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_00]: happening like if you're

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_00]: saying happening meaning

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_00]: we're going to win the

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Premier League or something

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_00]: that obviously isn't going to

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_00]: happen but I just felt like

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: with this new ownership

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_00]: under under Jim Radcliffe

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_00]: we're seeing some good

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: progress because Lenny Oro

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_00]: confirmed transfer.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh I'm so ready for the podcast.

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Come let's go.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I think this is one of the

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: okay okay Mukki as a Liverpool

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: fan as a fan of a club that

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_00]: hasn't signed a single player

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_00]: this season that's true Lenny

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Oro beat Real Madrid he is

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: injured but yeah he is injured

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_00]: but beat Real Madrid to his

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_00]: transfer young centre half

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_00]: looks very very very good

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_00]: he's signed Joshua Xerxie has

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_00]: signed now Mathis Delict and

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Nusar Mazraoui are signing from

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: by Munich so that's four

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_00]: confirmed signings and we

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_00]: still have about what 80 percent

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_00]: of the month to go in this

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_00]: transfer window so more

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_00]: transfers are also likely at

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_00]: the same time we have let go

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: of Aaron Van Bisaka to

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_00]: West Ham so Mason Greenwood

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: has been sold Jaden Sancho

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_00]: has been reintegrated to

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_00]: squad maybe because he needs to

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_00]: get sold whatever the reason

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: being but things are moving

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's not just stuck in

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: the same fucking rut I think

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that's that's a good show for

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_00]: for rightcliff's first

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_00]: transfer window I think that's

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_00]: a fantastic showing how these

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_00]: players will perform I don't

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_04]: know did you catch the moment

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_04]: in the FA Cup where in the

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_04]: community shield I mean oh sorry

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_00]: what did I say FA Cup which we

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_00]: won by the way beat Man City

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_04]: to it so you know in the

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_04]: community shield

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Tanhag and Sancho almost hugged

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_04]: or high-fived and then Tanhag

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_04]: just went back because I think

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_04]: when the goal was called

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_04]: she's like oh and then they

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_04]: just like went back

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_04]: and they're like oh we're

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_04]: enemies for enemies forever

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_00]: that's a rom-com that's

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_00]: waiting to happen

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_04]: that's a rom-com that is

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_04]: waiting to happen yes

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_00]: but yes whatever it may be

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_00]: like he is a good player

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_00]: on his day and even if this

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_00]: means that it's a temporary

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_00]: truce to just get him playing

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and up his valuation so he

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_00]: can be sold for a fair price

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a good thing to do

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00]: but talking about that

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_00]: community shield game

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I was very happy with the

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_00]: way United were playing

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_00]: yes we were playing against

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Man City's kids most of them

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_00]: but I still consider

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_00]: playing a game against

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Man City's youth team

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_00]: or a majority of their

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_00]: youth team as like

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: playing a team like Everton

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: right Everton's first team

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_00]: it's roughly the same level

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: you can say in terms of

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_00]: intensity in terms of the

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_00]: challenge that it poses

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_00]: so keeping that in mind

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought we played really

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_00]: well because it's those

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_00]: games against teams like

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Everton, Crystal Palace,

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Brentford whatever

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_00]: that United last season

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_00]: tended to lose or drop

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: points in and that was

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_00]: the big problem right

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_00]: but it really in this

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_00]: game felt like regardless

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: of the opposition United

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_00]: were very comfortable in

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_00]: the way that they're playing

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_00]: which I haven't seen from

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_00]: this United team in a

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: very long time

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: so it does seem like finally

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: the players are

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_00]: understanding that

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_00]: and yeah I think

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_00]: say it

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_00]: as always

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: we're back

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_00]: God of Mad is back

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_00]: as always I am cautiously

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_00]: optimistic

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe that

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's any

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: caution

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_02]: there is zero caution to this

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah I don't think there's

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_02]: any caution

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_02]: there is zero caution

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_04]: in what you've said

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: and really that's what

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: we love about you

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04]: it's the absolute lack

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: of caution and

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm ready to get hurt again

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_00]: yes I put my guard down

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00]: let's go

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah so I'm fully geared up

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_00]: for a 2-1 defeat to Fulham

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_00]: on the opening weekend

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: of this season

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_00]: because that's just how it goes

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_00]: did you see Onana's

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_00]: penalty antics

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_00]: in the penalty shootout though

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_00]: is it embarrassing

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: is it is it embarrassing

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_00]: because he started

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking around and he

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_00]: saved the first penalty

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean that's it

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_04]: it's like actually

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: if he saved the first penalty

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_04]: then he fucked around

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_04]: and then he fired

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah but think about it

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: this way right

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: like you just need

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: one penalty saved

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: most times you just need

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: one penalty saved

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_00]: the problem is

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Jaden Sancho's penalty

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_00]: was saved by Edison as well

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_00]: it wasn't a bad penalty

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: it was a good penalty

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_00]: it was in the

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_00]: it was in the corner

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: it was hit with power

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_00]: but Edison just managed

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: to get a little bit onto it

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_00]: to divert it onto the post

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_00]: and then Johnny Evans

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_00]: sky-ing his penalty

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_00]: was again the issue

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_00]: again in a penalty

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_00]: you can't really blame people

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_00]: right

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Onana did

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: everything he could

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: because he got the same

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like in a penalty shootout

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_04]: unless maybe out of six

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_04]: penalties if you save one

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_04]: which I think Onana did

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_04]: you can't blame them

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_00]: you can't

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_00]: and I was thoroughly

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: entertained

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: you are such a great man

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_00]: like just to be

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_00]: and we have spoken about

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00]: this very topic on this

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: podcast multiple times

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_00]: which is that penalty shootouts

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: are very very unfair

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_00]: to the keepers

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_00]: because there's so many rules

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_00]: that the keepers have to go to

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_00]: oh you can't come off your line

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_00]: you have to have one part

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_00]: of your body on the line

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_00]: at all times

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_00]: you can't

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_00]: you know make

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_00]: any sort of

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_00]: you put any sort of

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_00]: disadvantage on the

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_00]: on the striker

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_00]: whereas

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_00]: from the striker's point of view

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: you're allowed to do

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_00]: the hop, skip and jump

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_00]: you're allowed to do

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_00]: the really slow run up

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_00]: you're allowed to take

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_00]: as much time as you want

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_00]: before you shoot

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_00]: like that

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_00]: it's very unfairly pitted

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_00]: against the goalkeeper

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00]: so when the goalkeeper

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_00]: does things like this

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_00]: it's quite enjoyable

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_00]: and my barometer is

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_00]: at least he didn't take

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_00]: a trophy and fuck it

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_00]: like Amy Martinez

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_00]: like that is the pinnacle

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_00]: of goalkeepers

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_00]: embarrassing themselves for me

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_00]: and Onana was well below that

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_00]: so I'm happy

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_00]: you think Amy Martinez

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_00]: was bad for that

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_00]: for celebrating that

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_00]: really

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_00]: the way he did was

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it was a bit much

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_00]: yaar thoda to

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_00]: like when you're on the pitch

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_00]: fine but

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_00]: you're taking a trophy dude

[00:31:35] like

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_00]: it's just disrespectful

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_00]: to yourself

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_00]: you know what I mean

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_00]: like

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_00]: you've won the golden glove

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_00]: because you've been

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_00]: an excellent keeper

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_00]: throughout this tournament

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and then you're fucking

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_00]: the trophy

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's just

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_00]: or you're pretending

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that the trophy is your dick

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's just weird

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: like it almost belittles

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: your own achievement

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_00]: and why would you want

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_00]: to do that?

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Because he just won

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that's the different players

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_04]: different players

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_04]: have different ways of showing

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_04]: student world cup team

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_04]: put their legs on the trophy

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_04]: if an Indian team wins

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_04]: anything they put it in the mandir

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_04]: and Amy Martinez puts it

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_04]: where his dick is

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04]: cultures and traditions

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: they're different all over the world

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: cultures and traditions

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_00]: different all over the world

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Savino for Man City

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: looks good

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean at this point

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_04]: anyone who goes to Man City

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_04]: looks good

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_04]: anyone

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_04]: even

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_04]: like is a

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_00]: honestly like

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I was very impressed with Savino

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he played really well

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He was a major major threat

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_00]: to the United Defense

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and I think he's going to be

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_00]: a major threat to most defenses

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_00]: so I can't wait for Pep

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_00]: to bench him for 80% of the season

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So you know

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_00]: it's that's

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_00]: that's what I'm really looking forward to

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_04]: But he will come back next season

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_04]: and be the player of the season

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_04]: and win them everything

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah correct

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Bench them the first season

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And then hopefully they win

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_04]: everything next season

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go to Arsenal

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_00]: for a quick moment

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_00]: because

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_00]: we have to give them

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_00]: some sort of representation at least

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think they can build

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_00]: from their progress

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_00]: from last season

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_00]: because they did finish second

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They did have a good season

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_00]: If you look at

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_00]: where Arteta took over this team

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and where they are now

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_00]: there has definitely been

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_00]: tangible progress there

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But do you think they can build

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_00]: on that right now

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_00]: and actually go toe to toe

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_00]: with Man City

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_00]: or Liverpool

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_00]: or whoever is going to be challenging

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_00]: for that Premier League title

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_00]: and maybe go ahead

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_00]: and end that trophy drought

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: that they've been facing

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I think

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_04]: again I feel like

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_04]: we've said it the last two seasons

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_04]: that this might be

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_04]: the best season for Arteta

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_04]: because every year

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_04]: you hope that the players

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_04]: at Man City

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_04]: get a little less hungry

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_04]: And given that

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_04]: it's pretty much the same squad

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_04]: as last year

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_04]: and they're no new

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I don't know

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Sevino might be good

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_04]: but he's not so good to be like

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I have the hunger of 20 football players

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_04]: you know

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_04]: So we just hope

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_04]: that this is the year

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04]: and I mean like

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_04]: early Liverpool are in transition

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_04]: United are better

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: but not so good

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_04]: that you can think that

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_04]: they might be in the race

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_04]: for about half the season

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_04]: or two-thirds of the season

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_04]: But you know that

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_04]: they're not going to be

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_04]: in the race for all the way through

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Chelsea is like

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know man

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like a

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_04]: it's a heads and tails

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_04]: where it's mostly tails

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's probably

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Arsenal's best season

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I think by default

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_03]: they are probably going to come out

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that they could have made progress

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Because other teams

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: wouldn't have made progress

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_03]: It might just look like

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Arsenal has made progress

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It might come across as that

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_03]: but I think that

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Arsenal is likely to be

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03]: a little more consistent

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_03]: That's it

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean they've signed

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Ricardo Calafiore

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_00]: and he does look like a good player

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Always pleasing

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_00]: when an Italian defender is signed

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like you're signing

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_00]: the nationality

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: for the position

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_00]: that that nationality is known for

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: You know it just fits

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you think of Italian

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Brazilian winger

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you want a Brazilian winger

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: You want an Italian defender

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You want a

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Midfielder

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_00]: English central midfielder

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_00]: or forward

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Forward also no actually

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_00]: English central midfielder

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's say British

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So you know Scottish

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Irish also

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: mixed in

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: striker is from which country?

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Portuguese

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Spain?

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Spain maybe because I don't know

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I just imagine Torres

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_04]: and

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_04]: and

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Dour

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_04]: David Mourinho

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Not Silva

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Or you know Ivory Coast

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Didier Drogba

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I know but like come on

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Spain would

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Spain more of

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Fernandes Torres

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Right like I think

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_04]: With the strikers

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_04]: when we were growing up

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_04]: or even that Chelsea guy

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_04]: that monster

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Costa

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Costa

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Robben

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Kau

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on like

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Argentina

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Paltas not Spanish

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Colombia

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_04]: But

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever you associate them

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_04]: with their excellence in Spain

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like yeah

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Spain or

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: any of the South American countries

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: or striker I think

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: or any of the African countries

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Uruguay

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay striker is a big pool

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's say striker is a big pool

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like we're just making it

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_04]: much bigger than it really is

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_04]: pretty much a Spain

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Like three four of the guys

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_04]: that we've really seen growing up

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_04]: The biggest names are either

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_04]: if you

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Uruguay or Spain right like

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So between Aguero

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Tevez

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Suarez

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Tevez

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I'm saying right

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Holland also has great strikers

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Ruud van Nistelroy

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Dennis Bergkamp

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Robin van Persie

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: No but I wouldn't put a Dutch

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: No no but

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_04]: But he doesn't really

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe Dutch managers

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know but

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Dutch no

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Dutch managers

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Or Dutch number tens

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Krijgestein

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah possible

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_00]: The number tens

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah I don't know

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: What about goalkeepers

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Some Eastern European guy

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Begovic

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Who plays for Chelsea by the way

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh luck

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Who could have played for Chelsea

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way or by the time

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_00]: this episode is released

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably plays for Chelsea

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Who else

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Who else

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's keep this going

[00:37:24] Begovic

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah some Eastern European

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: country for this thing is

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_00]: But Germany you're saying

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_00]: only because Oliver Kahn

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Manuel Neuer

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And Tersturgeon

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't you think that

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Marc Andre, Tersturgeon

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And Manuel Neuer

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Are basically the same person

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Like

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_00]: They are the same person

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Right

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you took Manuel Neuer

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Out and put Tersturgeon in

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the same person

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And post hair transplant

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_04]: It's even more so

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Right

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Germany figured out

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_00]: How to clone

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Man guys

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: A they've figured out how to clone

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And B they've figured out

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_00]: How to not age

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Because Thomas Muller is still playing

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_03]: What his age is

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Because he was

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_04]: He's one of those guys

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Who always look 29

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_00]: He's always been 29

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_00]: He's always been at the peak

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Of his career

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He's an absolute prime

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Every year from the minute

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: He started playing

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Is like his decline

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Is going to start now

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But it has never started

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And you hear the same shit

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_04]: That is

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_04]: He's not really a striker

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_04]: But he's a thinking man

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_04]: What does that even mean

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_04]: What does that even mean

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_04]: You have to put ball in your head

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And you have to muscle guys

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And you have to run fast

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_04]: What does that even mean

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand anyone next to a Nunes

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Is a thinking man

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_04]: He's playing behind Lewandowski

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And Miroslav Klose

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Like none of the who are

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Adi is not thinking man

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_04]: What are they

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Who is he

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_04]: What does he do

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But yes let's stay with Germany

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_00]: As we wrap up this episode

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Harry Kane finally won a trophy

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_00]: With Bayern Munich

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And it happened to be

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_00]: At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is great

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Because he did do a class act

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Where he didn't lift the trophy

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't lift the trophy at all

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And when he did come on

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: To the pitch

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: He was given a standing ovation

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: By the Tottenham fans

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think the curse is broken for him

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_04]: See there are two kinds of things

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_04]: People are like

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a class

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It's our class

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_04]: It's great

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_04]: It's sportsmanship

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And then there's like

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow that's life's cruel joke

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Just being teased even more

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But is that a joke on Harry Kane

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Or is that a joke on Spurs

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's a joke on Harry Kane

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_04]: A little more

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Just a little more

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a pre-season trophy

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't really count

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: But no

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It was interesting

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I feel like

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: What you're saying, Prash is right

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the curse is broken

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Because most curses

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_00]: To break them

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to go to the scene of the curse

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Basically

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And undo things

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that an ex Tottenham player

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Has gone back to Tottenham

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And won a trophy at Tottenham

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: For their new team

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably means that he is free

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_00]: From the shackles of the Spurs curse

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Or he's probably just heard our episode

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Of last season

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes I need to fuck with these guys

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty much

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And that might be good

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_00]: The other thing that happened was

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Dominic Solanke has been signed by Spurs

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And he was

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Unveiled to the Spurs fans

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Before this game

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you guys think about that man

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Because he had a great season

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_00]: With Boyle last season

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Spurs, good move for him

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Good move for Spurs

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's definitely a good move for him

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_04]: He struggles in the Premier League

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_04]: He's not

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean he might be one off-season

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Or a good season

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But I feel like Spurs have been robbed again

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he's worth that kind of money

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But I guess in a market of

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Like if you remove Chelsea

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever the market is then

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever is the fair price economy

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_04]: That we operate in

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_04]: In a Chelsea removed world

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's nonsense

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean it's good for Bournemouth

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That they can probably buy a necklace

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he's worth that much

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_04]: But I guess you know

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Chelsea hoarding market maybe is worth that

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay so I feel like

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_00]: This is really interesting

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I remember seeing

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_00]: On the Premier League app

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I think in the fantasy football section

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Dominic Solanke was wearing

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_00]: A Bournemouth training top at the time

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Recorded a video where he said

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_00]: To fantasy managers that

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_00]: We can expect a lot of goals from him

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So it was basically Dominic Solanke saying

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah I did well last season

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I know

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Get me in your team right now

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm going to score a lot of goals this season

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course he was saying that wearing a Bournemouth top

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And then three days later he signed for Spurs

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Now do you think he's going to score

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of fucking own goals

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Because

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: He's just going to be like

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But I was in Bournemouth when I said this

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So technically

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Technically

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I've done this

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_00]: If any of you are betting people

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_00]: When Bournemouth plays Spurs

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Dominic Solanke to score own goal

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Mark my words

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Amogh should we mark your money

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you going to put your money on this bet

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Fuck no

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But my words

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll put my words on it

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You can mark those

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah it'll be interesting to see

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_00]: If that actually happens

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And you know it just might

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Fuck it

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: If I find a betting app

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll put 10 bucks on it

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what happens

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah so

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So yes that is that

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of FBL

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Before we wrap up

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_00]: We have to tell you that

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_00]: We do have a corner flag FBL league

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Which I will be renewing tonight or tomorrow

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So sometime this week

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Basically before the Premier League season starts

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I will renew the league

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_00]: We will put up the code on our socials

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So get involved with that

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_00]: We have sent some nice little gifts and goodies

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_00]: To the last previous two years

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Winners of the FBL league

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_00]: We plan to continue doing that

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So if you do tend to win this season's FBL league

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll put together a little something for you

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's added incentive for you to join in

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I can't wait

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_00]: We can't wait for the football to begin
