Speaker 5 (00:43):

Speaker 1 (00:44):
They were somebody's been practicing.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hey, we've been working on it. You've been up.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Next time again.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Next time you're gonna have to You're gonna have to
hit us with an English. You're gonna have a little
We're gonna we're gonna need some London South London.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Now, you guys have not challenged me to get into
accents yet, which I do appreciate from both of y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But I know my time.
Speaker 2 (01:04):

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Decent Knight, Jamel, how about you?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Decent mate? That was good, decent. There was a decent proposal.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So we just got to watch the Community Shield where
obviously Arsenal faces off against Man City, the FA Cup winners,
and going into it. I don't know how you guys felt,
but I was like, I am really curious to see
what a pepliss city looks like, because when you have
a manager whose reputation creates just an entire aura around
(01:58):
a club and that manager eves, it takes a second
for people to find their shit again.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We've sawt We saw it with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
We we definitely saw that with Wenger, although we were
definitely on our way down for the longest time, but
like there was there was still something that Wenger provided
a glow about the club even though we were really
pretty far off of it and obviously we had to
go through some shit to get back where we are.
But now with a heepless City, I was like, dude,
I think this is obviously it's going to be a rebuild.
(02:30):
There's in some continuity because Moresca worked with Pep and
he's not a stranger to that whole setup. But I
don't know what were you guys thinking of, Like, you know,
how do you rank or how do you how were
you perceiving predicting what a pepless city was going to
look like going into this one.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I mean, for me, I was seeing it. I was
seeing it through my own lens, and I'm like, if
I'm if I'm Inzo Maresca, I'm scared shitless, Like I'm
two minutes late to every meeting, you know what I'm saying,
Like freaking out in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Just a mess right right now?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, like whimpering a little.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
He's they also it's not just petless though, it's Roger
right Fields looks it's crazy how much money they've They've
already spent on some midfield and they still want two
more midfielders. Like it is mad this whole how much
money they've spent in the last couple of years and
(03:29):
they still haven't still don't feel like they've.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I've been feeling bad for Off, I'll be feeling bad
for kuson Off because it just looks like it's his fault.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
He always looks like he's gonna cry.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He's at that boy.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, oh man, And look we got to see it
like off the kickoff, I was like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Dude, I already have a pattern.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm gonna come right through your midfield and I'll probably
had to tap it on the other side of it.
And that's that's what that goal was. That twenty four
seconds it took was unbelievable. And that Miles litle Skelly ball,
that little reverse ball the Califor was Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I felt something in my loins when he did it.
When I saw that ship moved a little.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
There's something about around the court, round the coarter, around
the corner perfectly way it passed.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It just like, yes, it's a.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Beautiful thing to see. You're playing pool with the on
the pitch man, That's what it's like. Yeah, right, uh
And then I guess I don't know. I mean the goals.
What was the favorite goal was probably the Odor guard one.
I think, right, we're pretty unanimous on that one.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The heasy he made down the room and look dumb
as hill.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It was so casual.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I felt like, I don't know, if you've seen clips
of Wendy Dan used to train with like real Madrid,
just for like fun, and he was still kind of shown.
He was like, bro, I still got this ship, Like
I will give you just a little dummy fake shot
or something sent your ass down and then just kind
of lifted.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was so nice to see.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I think that moment really felt like the polarity had
fully switched, and it's like, yeah, no, now we're the team,
Like did you just see what we did to you?
We are now fully occupying that top spot.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
But also speaking of the switchero is the goalies, because
two seasons ago, Donna Rumor was incredible for PSG, and
as an Arsenal fan, you're like, I can't scowk, but
the guy's are ridiculous, even though you know he's not
great with the balls feet, but then in this game
he's kind of fuck just dived early for the first goal,
(05:28):
didn't stop Havertzes, which was not that easy, flapped at
it and then he fell on his ass. And then
meanwhile David Ryer is pinging fifty yard passes of his
wrong foot down the middle of the field. I was like, wow,
he's got he's grown his hair out. David Ryan donn
Rue is getting bolder. I'm not saying it's necessarily all
(05:49):
hair based, but Donna Ruma looks. He looks he's the
oldest looking twenty seven year old you've ever seen in
your life.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
He's twenty seven, Yeah, my life. I thought Donald Rumor
was at least thirty six.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah, no, no, as well. I thought he'd been around
for ages. And then I was like, this dude's like.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
When I started playing with like he really was he
got like, yeah, yeah, he was in a Yeah he
was playing from a really young So we've been seeing
we've seen him for many years.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But yeah, I've seen a lot of people like on
the internet and talk about like sh he like what
was he doing with his hair? And then some people
were like, I respect it. He's not going to Turkey
blah blah blah blah. And someone's like, if he puts
in a transfer request to like Galatas R or one
of them, you know he will he will probably have
the hairline glow up.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But hey, man, I like a traditionally balding guy, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's so that's a good look, although when you are
not when you're putting in performances like that, A goalkeeper.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, you can't play like your bald.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah. Everyone at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I think it's just maybe the timing. Guys, I'll have
to apologize. I should be upfront about this. I am
currently in Costa Rica on vacation with some of the
dodgiest and I'm one of the dodgiest airbnbs right. V
Brown was in here for like three weeks straight or something.
But that's that's a detail I will share with people
down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So the Internet is a little choppy.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We appreciate you trying to record from the Rick James
sweet Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I'm like, something's poking me in the back.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm like, wait, is this is a stem?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Okay, so someone was walking.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Your internet? Your internet connection is much like Donna Rumor's
performance there it is actually there, we go and we're bad.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
It's a weird game, right because going going into the Yeah,
Ellie Anderson again, look, he doesn't know how any preseasons
to be fetch him. But you think about again, like
roder is, Like Ellie Anderson is decent, sund things, not
as completed player as Rodri And then they want to
get Fernandez, who sometimes is good. And but if you
seemed like the win rate Fernandez when he plays for Chelsea,
(08:09):
their win rate when he's not playing is like eighty
five percent. When he plays, it's like forty two percent
or something. You get the stats up. It's really funny.
I'm going to look this up. Oh man, love to
see it. You love to see it. You love to
see it, Love to see it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I don't. I don't want to see Kappa anymore. I
know I love to see it. But we can officially
retire Kepa. I don't want any money for a transfer either.
Just send him away, just like, hey man, it's just
in the door, bro.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah you can, yeah, take some shirts on the way out, man,
some some water or whatever. But yeah, feel free to
help the stuff to whatever you want trying.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, when you're trying to keep a cat out of
a room, you got to quickly shut the door on him.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just let him keep it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Oh yeah, you can't leave any room for a re entry. Yeah,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We should also talk about Chris Solly's the sound of
the tolis uh two assists in that match.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I don't know, are you do? You guys play fantasy?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Should be I don't play fantasy because I don't look
at cheering him.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't want to be cheering on someone I hate.
You know, well, I always my rule is I never
had Spurs players. Yeah, but then when Kane was in
the league, that was like kind of makes you unable
to actually compete properly. But anyway, I'm like, his output
has just been so unreal now that I'm like, this
guy looks also so good. He's I don't know if
(09:34):
he's an upgrade on Tross Haard, but definitely when I
see him playing, like, oh okay, so I don't think
we're losing anything with him, although we'll see once the
season actually starts and you know, he's getting the shit
kicked out of him. But his his ability is actually
I mean, I'm really looking forward to what that does
for soccer. On the other side, and just the way
he plays, like just these passes, like he's just really smart.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
He's tidy. He's a very tidy player. He's like he's
not like super fast, he's not super.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Skillful, but he just does just that. It's very trusts odds.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Like an analogous just like slots in and fill in
in the middle. But yeah, like just gets a half
step and gets a nice pass in and yeah, I
think he's going to do pretty well. It's funny that
he failed at Norwich when he was like nineteen, Like
Norwich rounds are like Norwich rounds, like you've got this guy.
But but I think he's gonna he's gonna surprise me.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
He looks.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
I mean he's going to start for asking I thing
on Friday, because I mean I don't see any left, anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Else coming and left.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
And it does appear that they want to sell Martinelli,
but they might end up keeping him.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
They tried to.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
They try to offload Martinelli to Turkey and he's like,
I've got a lot of hair.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And I'm actually doing Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Although you
know what I mean, check check the temples, Gabrielle.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You know, you never know, bro, he's gonna get in
a widows speak, you know, you know, just pay for
it out.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Anyway, any Jamal, you look like you had to say something.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
No, I guess I was just gonna say that Solie
looks great. And I'm shocked at there weren't more bids
for him, like just the fact that he was at
Bruga and it got relegated with Norwich, Like.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There are reports where there were other teams asking about him,
but once he heard we came calling, he said, bro,
fuck all that, Like I know where I'm going if
Arsenal wants me, like I don't need to hear anything
else that I don't care and type again the polarity. Man,
it's changing, like it really feels even though if anything
didn't work out, and obviously in looking at his performances
(11:34):
in pre season for Real Madrid, I'm like, you know,
it is probably better off that.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
That didn't happen. Yeah, I'm I don't even know what
I was gonna say. I think I'm think I'm catching
fumes off the toilet seed.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you're saying sols is like
he wants to be there and he's just showing it,
and it's like, yeah, anyone that wants to come to
your club is like you're like you're already a fan
favorite and like, come on, welcome this this play a
rimfe sir, it would be I guess it would be
a bit harsh on him if you, like Vinnie gets
signed like three weeks later as well, you're never gonna play.
(12:06):
But it does feel like I don't know, they've just yeah,
Arsenal are looking it felt we're watching the preseason how good.
But Arsenal comented all the other top teams have had
the least change, like same manager, like and they've added Bruno.
They're gonna add Conza as a backup because he's probably
gonna play a lot, and he's mates of soccer as
(12:28):
a sor of the documentary. But yeah, no, Arsenal looking
pretty good. If I was not gonna add one like
game changing attack, it's I think it's the league is done. Yeah, genuinely,
it's like because it's also like ouder Guard looks fit,
Kai's fit, Soccer looks better, Like if those guys are fit,
that's already a massive upgrade on last season. So massively biased,
(12:49):
but it does look pretty good right now and the
middle is just stacked.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We just got to ride it out with these guys
until what like it's always their Christmas as always they
winter period.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That is the problem.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
And I'm remember, yeah, I'm like, maybe you know, don't
play soccer so much. Maybe give him a Carabo game
every now and again, Like I'm seriously like, keep that
guy on ice until like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, he looked a little bit better. I'd imagine that.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Obviously they're looking at his fitness and you know, you
know they're not going to play him early.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
They're loving the braids, he looks.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Yeah, how long do you maintains the braids for? Is
that just the whole season thing?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Damn, sh it's hurt too, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it is a tough process.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I don't know, I mean easier, right, It's got a
lot quicker if it's braided.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right, yeah, true, you just kind of getting.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Time on the training ground less time in the shower.
That's the standards. Guys, guys.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I prefer guys. But braid is fine guys if you
have to do it, but I prefer ball guys.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I mean, like I wonder if it's like one of
the summer hairs, because you know, like people always come
into training with like their hair their ship bleached, and
you're doing that as long as like it grows out,
because you're not going to bleach it again when it's time.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
To rebraid and be like you know what I'm I'm
actually tender headed.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Rika Lewis had his hair bleached.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, I did not.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
But listen, man, that's also whenever it's a black player
gets their hair bleached, you know they're going through something mentally.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
World Cup wasn't great for him. World Cup was not
great for him.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, no, no, anyway, transfer stuff you said, contest in
Bruno guimer Ice is in and now looks like we're
still we're still open. The Aussie main thing looks like
it's pretty much not like not not realistic, and yeah,
I'm still I'm still kind of thinking. I'm not sure
(14:50):
if like we're actually legitimately really in for a yield
is because it sounds like Juventus doesn't want to sell
and Alvarez is fully not going to Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But I don't think. I don't know, I don't know
if that's still.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
What did we what did we find out? What do
we read about about Deco and Alparez? They're considering marriage,
some marriage, and I thought it wasn't like I thought
it was fully a joke, but it was like I
think it was on like a.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Quite it was on a Barcelona for them.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I to look this up.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Considering all options to get Alvarez in the club, one
option they discussed recently was Deco and Julian to become
legally married and the spouse's law Julian would legally be
allowed to relocate to Barcelona's live with his husband Deco.
And I was like, well, is that bullshit? But it's
it's from an account of four hundred and eighty thousand poloms,
so that must be true.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, that's so crazy. I don't think it's true.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But also a Chuck and Larry clause.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah, it sounds like an eighties movie, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Right there?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Fellas? Is it gay to marry a player? That makes sure.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I'd do it if we are, just if we just
had to kiss in front of it, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Whatever, Like, who's in charge of that? Is that an
immigration issue?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You have to kiss, you have to kiss a your
You're interesting the person who's gonna look at this spousal visa.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I would go as far as maybe like one single,
one single genital touch you, but you got to touch
my meat.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Though you you off of the say thesa agent all
all freskin with we're married, so I love his junk.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Called freskin fo. Yeah, I got this ship all right,
But otherwise we were so we're talking about city. Things
aren't looking great because it's definitely a transitional year. But
we also we're getting this pet Guardiola documentary. I think
it's out, but I've just been people been clipping it
out and sharing stuff, and my god, this this documentary
(16:52):
looks wild, like like all or nothing, but like about
a man's like emotional state.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's so crazy that he he's like up the ante,
like we we watched Michael Artela like like just screaming
at a bunch of players in a club, just like
do better, try harder. And now he like, now we
get to see Pep do it to himself.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yep, yep, yep. There's just there's There was one that
was a clip with like him and Kyle Walker arguing,
like Kyle Walker is a fucking dick.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He's like, why would say my name?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Why we say amon because he's like, he's like, because
you missed them all I said, I said, I said name,
I said his name.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I said whoever name, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And he's like, but he's just like they get in
these open like this open shouting match. I'm like, oh, ship,
Like this is truly like you know when you're like
seeing something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm like, bro, they're not going to have you back
on the next season. If this is how you're acting
in the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Writer's room, Bro, if this is how you're behaving, they're
not going to have you back on this ship. And
that's how Kyle Walker was like you could see the
other players just like cringing, like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
As he's encomforting with Pep. Yeah, and then Pep started
getting emotional. It's like, guys, I'm just trying to like
the best. It was a lot and that's.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Right, Kyle, You've made Pep cry.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
They sent his ass to Burnley so fast.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, he said, Holy that ship.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And then the other thing we talked about obviously last
season we said, will this divorce is his divorce? And
then Chris you brought it up that You're like, the
divorce probably shouldn't be overlooked.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And as we dug deeper.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And read more and more, the details were like, dude,
Pep Guardiola might be broken man because of this divorce.
And we have now we have a quote where after
they lost the uvent is in December, what he said
to the Man City team in addressing room.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
He said, guys, I.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Want to confess something. I'm fucking divorced from the most
beautiful woman in your planet, in your I love her
low Wayne, but we lost the passion. I love her absolutely,
she loved me. Yeah, but we lost a passion. You're
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm assuming that then led into and I'm worried this
team is losing the passion.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Maybe he just sends up guy, I am.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
It's the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life.
It looks like a baby, but he's shaped like a
man something.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Look at his body, so bad, so so bad. He's
a bad guys. Look at him pat Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this documentary because I mean, like,
the camors were fucking everywhere, and.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
They do documentaries different overseas. Man, they really did y'all
shops be for real? First off?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Why what would you do? You don't they don't really
film all the time every.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
No, we do the type of documentaries where he's where
Michael Jordan is executive producing his own I'm worady for
to do this true two quarters of the fucking story right.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
And I took it, and then I took it personally
and I won the game for the whole team, all right,
Hep is just crying. I wish I had creative control.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Guys, bro, I want to give us all credit for
being on the Pep story.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
By the way, I think we all sinsed it. I
saw that say it.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
In the locker room. Yeah again, his wife's player this season.
For me, truly, I don't know what you did. You
broke him. I hope he finds it. And now that
he's gone, I'm like, Pep, Bro, I really hope you.
I hope maybe you can rekindle it. Man, I really
I wish that for you.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Ou de Garde season before last was particularly bad and
he just had a baby, which as people, I mean
Miles will know, is like you, it's hard to function
when you're not having sleep.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
With a child, so it is a factor.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
And you can imagine he's very like Scandinavian where he's
like that's so he's like, I want to do my
part and stuff, and he's not going to leave it
to the nanny. What we should do is get the
wags and children breakdown of every squad and look at
that and be like, who's who's going to have their
personal life locked on lockdown so they can concentrate on
(21:16):
winning the league because of divorce, like Trossard last season,
they're gone through some marriage and stuff and then and
he had a different then he came out the other side.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So you know.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Who just yeah, I don't know who else. Who do
you think is gonna who's who's whose? Whose relationship is
gonna cause them to have a dip in form? And
then I mean, Socca looks pretty Sacle looks pretty locked
in with his girl.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He looks like they're gonna they're gonna have a baby soon.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I feel I can have a baby.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Soit decks and I going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, listen, deck he homely. He liked that, he liked
the state of the crib. He'd be playing PlayStation. Mm hmm,
I'll tell you all about I ain't like that they
had him hanging out with Tims. Hey, get hear him
away from Tims. Tim's too hot for this right now.
We need Yeah, his wife, you cannot have soccer like
(22:04):
Soccer's wife should be the hottest woman he interacts with
for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't want to see him near any other batties.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah, got to keep him focused. I think he's okay,
he's okay, he's a good Christian boys. Yeah, he's a
good Christian boy. Yeah, he'll be all right, he'll be
all right, he'll be right.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I just do want to talk about this one thing
that was going viral where the Chelsea's social media account
on threads, they posted like last week, They're like, hey,
we'll change They said, quote, we'll change our threads bio
to whatever the top comment says that top That top
comment came from Rel the singer, and it was re
Palestine period. And then after that they acted like this
(22:58):
year wasn't even happening. They deleted the pope like they
never ever made this offer and never said pop comment
changes the bio.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Then a few days later they just posted with a
clapping emoji.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
Admins don't control when signings are announced and then it's
me maud Holly replied, but they do control when bios
get updated.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
To free Palace pie ratio on that one, still quiet.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
Then Amanda Touch posted calling out that the account with
the trademark Chris Martin attack Cow hitting them with that,
and then they got a community note when for like
the women's team for their preseason, because I think a
bunch of people were like posting on there's a community
note that said uh sport sport account claims they will
(23:48):
put top comment in bio deletes post after free Palestine
gets most likes.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Scum account Free Palestine.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh damn a women's account.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
So yeah, a women's team.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Even are they even sponsored by the same AI bullshit?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
MM, I don't know. I think they're still called Chelsea.
They're still called Chelsea at least.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Did you see how they they're changing the name to
the U nineteens and the U twenty ones for Chelsea.
They're gonna be called Cobbom next Gen. They're not even
the Chelsea's YouTube. They're gonna it's their own thing called
Cobbom next Gen because that's their training ground.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But like that is some e sports ass ship, Like
what the fuck.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Is that name?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
That is?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That is no one has ever done anything like that.
Like you have to come from outside of the sport
to think that's a good idea.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
The amount of like books I'm thinking outside the box
that like Bowley and egg Balley and all that must
have read to think you just gotta hey, you just
gotta flip the script guy. And but every idea they've
come up with is absolutely awful.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's like, what do we what do we call the
U nineteens and you, I don't know, call the U nineteens.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Man, there's still Chelsea. This is our program problem next gen?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
What if instead have a kit, we just played topless,
we just played Skins, We'd beat the Chelsea Skins.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You know I'm talking with that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, every kit is an NFT that gets raffled off
at the end.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
I'm just thinking about how like once again, like the
people in charge of stuff just showing that they're idiots.
If Chelsea actually said free Palestine, that wouldn't probably make
them a ton of money, and just they would gain
so much goodwill. Maybe they would fucking know how to
keep a midfielder from getting a red card all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I just don't think you're gonna see any team with
that much public exposure ever played yet political like that, unfortunately,
because I mean like even when people try and bring
flags and stuff, they're like they'll be like no, no, no, no, no, no,
take that down, Take that down, Take that down, which
is a shame because you know, Global sports and those
(26:00):
borders would probably be like yeah, yeah, we don't, we
don't need to, you know, I'll just skate here and
hide around what's happening.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
But it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Let's take a break, let's come back, and I think
it's time we need to do some predictions because the
season is about to start, and I think we need to.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
We need to, We need to.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
We need to put our wizard caps on and look
into the future and see what we see.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Come roughly May twenty ninth, twenty twenty seven, and we'll
do that right after the break. Now we're back.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Time for us to do the thing that every sports
show will do before the season starts. Predictions Top four?
What do you have to do in the top four,
top five, top six? Should we just think? Should we
redefine who the new the next big six is or
just top top four to four?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Yeah, and hey that's to make balley thinking what if
we just did four and a half guys?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And then also as a bonus, we will ask where
it's taught and finish. Yeah, that's true. This is a
good one. Tottenham report well, although by the way they're spending,
I mean they're spending like they think about being top four.
That's about It looks like they're talking about doing a
double deal for Saudino and mar Mouche.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah, that's fucked up.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I'm trying to work out who I think is gonna.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They price the other own highlights from the last two seasons.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I know, all right, so what top six or top four?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Let's do top four and if we wanted, we can
just kind of because I feel like it's going to
be really tight for me. I feel like the ones
I'm kind of clear on are maybe one to three.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Oh and what's your one? One is what we all do?
Speaker 6 (27:49):
We all thinks they're gonna win again.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I think we are going to retain. Yeah, I think
retain the title. I think it comes.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I think it comes the signings really big because he's like,
no one really is as good as Saliba in that position,
but I think he gives a lot of what was
missing there as much as they kept clean sheet and
Cherry Shield Community Shield. Sorry, I think that. And then
if they can have one more attacker, it's going to
be a very easy league win. But I think it'll
(28:18):
be awesome. Will win it, Yes, I agree.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I didn't think so honestly before the Community Shield. The
preseason was so wobbly. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But I mean it's a World Cup though, yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Weeople will actually look ready to play.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
We look ready to play. We're so deep in the
positions that like really matter. And the other thing wasn't
it you that's said who said the thing that said
like Arteta had to do his little linguistic sort of
trick here where he was like, we're not the defending
Premier League champions, We're the.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Attacking happened to trophy?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, I have you know, like, well, I know
we all know some cynical Arsenal supporters who are like
our hit as a bum and even like when we won,
they're like, yeah, we'll see about next season. Like, bro,
we just won. One of my most cynical friends who
supports Arsenal, was like, okay, we looked real good in
that one.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
We looked real good at that one.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And I'm like, okay, finally, finally, not just we're not
we're not parking the bus, blah blah bah. I'm like, dude,
that was never the case, Like, and I know you
don't feed into that dumb ship that as if we
were we were the team parking of the bus.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
We always we played the highest line.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Uh and also we're also like going against the most
low blocks of any other team, so like, yeah, shit
looked crazy a lot of the time. So anyway, okay,
so we all agree number one, Arsenal, Number two, Chris,
who's your number two? It's really hot.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I think it might be Chelsea okay, mm hmmm it
was them and Vella.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I think it might. I think it's I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
It's hard to know who sits you're gonna buy, but
I do think it'll Harlan.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Harlan's hard to look past, like not just getting you
into top three.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Let's go Chelsea second, and I'm going to go City
third because Chelsea don't have midweek games, which I think.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Is massive yeah yeah for this period.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
And they've also obviously got Jordan Henderson, which is which
is going to tip him over.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Into that's the big signing.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
I think Chelsea second and City third.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I think, all right, well, and do you want to
just go ahead and hit us before.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Oh yeah, I think Villa will be top four. I
think Unai again, consistency is going to be a thing.
I mean, he might even so I kind of want
to put them in the top three, but I just
think like the no midweek is just a giant. But
if Enzo goes to City that changes it. But for
now I'll go Chelsea, second City, third, Villa fourth.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
All right, what about I'm gonna go Villa second City, third,
Man United fourth.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Sorry, just one thing on Villa. Can we talk about
you know?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
He said Don Aruma looks like, can we talk about
the striker for Villa that I shared with you guys?
I mean, he had this crazy game if he wouldn't
see it in the like it's the europe League winners
versus the Champions League winners and the guy was absolutely
(31:20):
bossing the PSG defense.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
He had.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Abouts needs to get his name.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Brian mad Joe from England via Luxembourg.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I believe he's technically mate.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
He just he missed. He missed so many chances, but
he was just a beat.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
One of the most physically domin performance has ever seen
from playing seventeen. So that's a big help for them
because because that is he close to I think I
reckon I read that they were like he They managed
to him in January seventeen and because of some work
permit rules, because he's been luck because of you know,
(31:58):
the UK is not an the EU anymore. They went
to a court of law to get him to play
for them, Like really, why and he's like, oh, it's
because you've got like this is crazy phenomenon.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
They went to a country where you could marry a
seventeen year old.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, I married him.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, he wouldn't. He didn't shake his hand
at the wedding night. Yeah, he refused to shake his hand.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
He saw Brian Mago come out in the dress and
he did that. I think he just touched the corners
of his mouth, like just staring at him like a
fucking freak. Wait, but they did sign my boys on Suzuki,
so I'm looking forward to that, although I'm curious what
happens that science Suzuki had a decent World Cup in Japan,
(32:47):
and I'm like, that's backup. That's pretty solid backup, I think,
although we've never seen him play in the prime, like
he's just been playing Siriana.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
No, they're trying to sell much to this, right, I
mean they should he backed.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Out of any where?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Did he where? Did that move failed to?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Oh? I think they've been trying to get rid of
him and he already said it's goodbye is two seasons ago.
So yeah, Martins, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
They're gonna transcend, but no, it's anyway, sorry, we're going.
But then me and me and Jamel similar logic. I
think Villa are going to be pretty good and I'm
weirdly Tottenham with the same logic as Chelsea. I think
we'll be annoyingly good.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I think they'll get top ten. Yeah, get to the
top half.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But yeah, so so you had you had Villa second,
Jamel who was then Manchester?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Uh Darby back the three fourths in United. You I'm
applying the one the one game of week theory to United.
Wait do they have Champions League this year?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
They were Champions League.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's why I'm not putting, you know what, I'm still
rolling something about I'm just I don't know, I'm I'm
actually still worried about them.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Their fans very upset by how little they've done any shopping, right, Miles,
you shared that thing they've spent less money.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Then both like two promoted teams have spent more. Let's
see Ipswich, as of like four days ago, had spent
one hundred and nine million pounds on incomings signings Coventry
ninety two million, United eighty three million, and you know
Andre Santos Telemans.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Those are good players for that midfield.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So for me, I'm going Arsenal one city not not
so close second, because I just think there's a lot
there's still enough momentum in that team with a manager
that kind of is speaking a similar language to kind
of keep it moving in the right direction. Then Chelsea third,
United fourth. I see United on the top four. I
(34:40):
think they're going to have a really strong start to
the season just with the continuity that they have from
last year going into this one.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
That's just like they just getting Belieba, which is an
interesting signing because he had pretty good this season for
last dropped off last season. But they got Telamans who's
physically not great but is good smart players though, yeah, yeah, smart,
we'll see.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I think they're gonna struggle with the midweek that's my
theory here.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
But I can see the draw first because what if
they get that? What if they get a sweet ass draw?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah? Yeah, game.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Where do you guys see Liverpool like just outside the
top five? Top four? Because I feel like they are,
but the depth.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I mean, the europe spots this year are going.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
To be coming in really that I'm like, it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, I'm worried for them. I'm not really worried.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I'm not up at all night worried about Liverpool.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
But I think they've No, I don't think they've addressed
a lot of their They've bought some young players, they've
got jack their defenses, a lot of injuries already.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
But Jeremy Jacket looks good. I was watching some of
their preseason. Yeah, he looks really good. He looks like
a good player. So I don't I don't know, but yeah,
like there's still a lot of you know, like people
talk about the defense, people talk about just in their
their front three. How does it all? Who's playing where?
Who's been properly replaced? Curtis John's just left for intern
out that he was really going to be starting.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
But I think that makes no longer. There's no more
Scousers now playing for Liverpool with Catus leading for inter Milan.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, and interesting is that Ezac gets a full pre season,
Like it'd be like a new signing to quote the
great Man or somethinga but yeah, yeah, be interesting. He
does so funny when players doesn't play for you almost
you're like, oh, are you going to But he also
just started so badly this season when he was technically
not injured, but he had not a pre season, so
(36:42):
he has a lot to prove how much he costs.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
But I wonder if there's just like a hangover from
the way he left Newcastle that just kind of carried
in with He was like, it's kind of an ugly Yeah, yeah, yeah,
shout out that song.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I'm more interested in, uh like five through seven or
I mean what Premier League is gonna end up with
eight europe spots?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
M hmmm, I think so. Yeah, Like Bonnemouth are gonna
I mean that's something something.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
There's a lot of it's gonna be the same again,
it's gonna be a lot of down the top ten
are gonna be good teams.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah yeah, yah, it's gonna be a great I mean
there's gonna like, there's will be a lot of fun
matches to watch for the Neutrals. But for those of
us who are very invested, I will be glad to see.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
I'm gonna end up what he is watching fucking leads
and fucking ipswitch one.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Day, oh man, anything else? I mean, we're keeping this
one short because my my internet is running out as
I speak.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I have to be peddling a bicycle to keep it operated.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
You he has a very clear like meter.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Like that's what that's what the is for. Gives you
enemy just cycle and power the internet.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Wait, so how do you use the internet here? Okay,
so there's a you see that eight ball by the
recombit a little the stationary bike. So you just keeps
sniffing that and peddling and for every kill, every three
miles you do, that's about fifteen minutes the Internet.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
And I'll just try not to post any videos or
watch any long form stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Oh but it was earlier, was so messed up, like
somebody was trying to watch something. They were watching the
Mystics game and I streamed something on my phone like
she was just like completely falling apart.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
It was like, no, yeah, now we're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Yeah streaming a Mystics game in Costa Rica though, that
you doing the lord's work.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Oh yeah no, my friends are their season ticket holders.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
So I was like this, this Toronto team is nonsense.
All though.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Shout out my girl Kiki Rice. She was doing her thing.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Anyway, season starting pretty much the day after you guys
hear people hear this Friday, Well, how do you think
what's the feeling from that for that Coventry match before
we take off. Obviously this is a mostly Arsenal podcast personally,
but we like to talk about everything, but Coventry is
definitely top of mind, and especially after that community show performance,
I'm really really looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Go to assume they'll actually give us a tougher game
than City did.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
I think Arsenal is going to win that not easily.
Mate at home, It's going to be a welcome to
the Premier League of Coventry. I mean, that's going to
be a yeah, that's going to be another three nil
And no, I'm I'm pit like it's funny because obviously
the World Cup and then I was like, oh, I'm
like a functional human being on the weekends. But now
I'm like, soon it starts, I'm like to my wife and.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Child, No I'm not.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be just dipping out on our
family quite frequently, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Just go back with like baskets of goods. Oh yeah,
that's how you circumvent that.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
No, that's you order it online and then it arrives
while you're watching it, so you don't even have to
stop watching it. Biggest man City Bournemouth. Man, that's going
to be a big old game after the how the
last season ended?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
And where's Croopy? Is he still on?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
No, he's injured and he's injured for three I think
because he's injured, Arsenal havn't pull the trigger on him,
but I think him. I wonder Arsenal won't buy a
left sider and then in January they might buy Creepy.
But Newcastle Liverpool obviously looks like a big game. Brentford
Tottenham and yeah.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
That's all right man, that will be I don't know
if you noticed that was gone, but internet just went out.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, so you go to the end.

Now, you guys have not challenged me to get into
accents yet, which I do appreciate from both of y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But I know my time.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, let me, Chris, why don't you do something?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Give me like a real blow blokecore you know, greetings
that Jamil can kind of chest pass right back to
you the way you said, what's happening, Chris, Chris, Chris,
how's it going on?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Decent Knight, Jamel, how about you?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Decent mate? That was good, decent. There was a decent proposal.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So we just got to watch the Community Shield where
obviously Arsenal faces off against Man City, the FA Cup winners,
and going into it. I don't know how you guys felt,
but I was like, I am really curious to see
what a pepliss city looks like, because when you have
a manager whose reputation creates just an entire aura around
(01:58):
a club and that manager eves, it takes a second
for people to find their shit again.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We've sawt We saw it with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
We we definitely saw that with Wenger, although we were
definitely on our way down for the longest time, but
like there was there was still something that Wenger provided
a glow about the club even though we were really
pretty far off of it and obviously we had to
go through some shit to get back where we are.
But now with a heepless City, I was like, dude,
I think this is obviously it's going to be a rebuild.
(02:30):
There's in some continuity because Moresca worked with Pep and
he's not a stranger to that whole setup. But I
don't know what were you guys thinking of, Like, you know,
how do you rank or how do you how were
you perceiving predicting what a pepless city was going to
look like going into this one.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I mean, for me, I was seeing it. I was
seeing it through my own lens, and I'm like, if
I'm if I'm Inzo Maresca, I'm scared shitless, Like I'm
two minutes late to every meeting, you know what I'm saying,
Like freaking out in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Just a mess right right now?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, like whimpering a little.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
He's they also it's not just petless though, it's Roger
right Fields looks it's crazy how much money they've They've
already spent on some midfield and they still want two
more midfielders. Like it is mad this whole how much
money they've spent in the last couple of years and
(03:29):
they still haven't still don't feel like they've.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I've been feeling bad for Off, I'll be feeling bad
for kuson Off because it just looks like it's his fault.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
He always looks like he's gonna cry.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He's at that boy.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, oh man, And look we got to see it
like off the kickoff, I was like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Dude, I already have a pattern.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm gonna come right through your midfield and I'll probably
had to tap it on the other side of it.
And that's that's what that goal was. That twenty four
seconds it took was unbelievable. And that Miles litle Skelly ball,
that little reverse ball the Califor was Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I felt something in my loins when he did it.
When I saw that ship moved a little.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
There's something about around the court, round the coarter, around
the corner perfectly way it passed.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It just like, yes, it's a.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Beautiful thing to see. You're playing pool with the on
the pitch man, That's what it's like. Yeah, right, uh
And then I guess I don't know. I mean the goals.
What was the favorite goal was probably the Odor guard one.
I think, right, we're pretty unanimous on that one.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The heasy he made down the room and look dumb
as hill.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It was so casual.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I felt like, I don't know, if you've seen clips
of Wendy Dan used to train with like real Madrid,
just for like fun, and he was still kind of shown.
He was like, bro, I still got this ship, Like
I will give you just a little dummy fake shot
or something sent your ass down and then just kind
of lifted.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was so nice to see.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I think that moment really felt like the polarity had
fully switched, and it's like, yeah, no, now we're the team,
Like did you just see what we did to you?
We are now fully occupying that top spot.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
But also speaking of the switchero is the goalies, because
two seasons ago, Donna Rumor was incredible for PSG, and
as an Arsenal fan, you're like, I can't scowk, but
the guy's are ridiculous, even though you know he's not
great with the balls feet, but then in this game
he's kind of fuck just dived early for the first goal,
(05:28):
didn't stop Havertzes, which was not that easy, flapped at
it and then he fell on his ass. And then
meanwhile David Ryer is pinging fifty yard passes of his
wrong foot down the middle of the field. I was like, wow,
he's got he's grown his hair out. David Ryan donn
Rue is getting bolder. I'm not saying it's necessarily all
(05:49):
hair based, but Donna Ruma looks. He looks he's the
oldest looking twenty seven year old you've ever seen in
your life.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
He's twenty seven, Yeah, my life. I thought Donald Rumor
was at least thirty six.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah, no, no, as well. I thought he'd been around
for ages. And then I was like, this dude's like.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
When I started playing with like he really was he
got like, yeah, yeah, he was in a Yeah he
was playing from a really young So we've been seeing
we've seen him for many years.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But yeah, I've seen a lot of people like on
the internet and talk about like sh he like what
was he doing with his hair? And then some people
were like, I respect it. He's not going to Turkey
blah blah blah blah. And someone's like, if he puts
in a transfer request to like Galatas R or one
of them, you know he will he will probably have
the hairline glow up.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But hey, man, I like a traditionally balding guy, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's so that's a good look, although when you are
not when you're putting in performances like that, A goalkeeper.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, you can't play like your bald.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah. Everyone at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I think it's just maybe the timing. Guys, I'll have
to apologize. I should be upfront about this. I am
currently in Costa Rica on vacation with some of the
dodgiest and I'm one of the dodgiest airbnbs right. V
Brown was in here for like three weeks straight or something.
But that's that's a detail I will share with people
down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So the Internet is a little choppy.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We appreciate you trying to record from the Rick James
sweet Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I'm like, something's poking me in the back.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm like, wait, is this is a stem?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Okay, so someone was walking.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Your internet? Your internet connection is much like Donna Rumor's
performance there it is actually there, we go and we're bad.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
It's a weird game, right because going going into the Yeah,
Ellie Anderson again, look, he doesn't know how any preseasons
to be fetch him. But you think about again, like
roder is, Like Ellie Anderson is decent, sund things, not
as completed player as Rodri And then they want to
get Fernandez, who sometimes is good. And but if you
seemed like the win rate Fernandez when he plays for Chelsea,
(08:09):
their win rate when he's not playing is like eighty
five percent. When he plays, it's like forty two percent
or something. You get the stats up. It's really funny.
I'm going to look this up. Oh man, love to
see it. You love to see it. You love to
see it, Love to see it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I don't. I don't want to see Kappa anymore. I
know I love to see it. But we can officially
retire Kepa. I don't want any money for a transfer either.
Just send him away, just like, hey man, it's just
in the door, bro.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah you can, yeah, take some shirts on the way out, man,
some some water or whatever. But yeah, feel free to
help the stuff to whatever you want trying.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, when you're trying to keep a cat out of
a room, you got to quickly shut the door on him.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just let him keep it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Oh yeah, you can't leave any room for a re entry. Yeah,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We should also talk about Chris Solly's the sound of
the tolis uh two assists in that match.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I don't know, are you do? You guys play fantasy?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Should be I don't play fantasy because I don't look
at cheering him.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't want to be cheering on someone I hate.
You know, well, I always my rule is I never
had Spurs players. Yeah, but then when Kane was in
the league, that was like kind of makes you unable
to actually compete properly. But anyway, I'm like, his output
has just been so unreal now that I'm like, this
guy looks also so good. He's I don't know if
(09:34):
he's an upgrade on Tross Haard, but definitely when I
see him playing, like, oh okay, so I don't think
we're losing anything with him, although we'll see once the
season actually starts and you know, he's getting the shit
kicked out of him. But his his ability is actually
I mean, I'm really looking forward to what that does
for soccer. On the other side, and just the way
he plays, like just these passes, like he's just really smart.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
He's tidy. He's a very tidy player. He's like he's
not like super fast, he's not super.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Skillful, but he just does just that. It's very trusts odds.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Like an analogous just like slots in and fill in
in the middle. But yeah, like just gets a half
step and gets a nice pass in and yeah, I
think he's going to do pretty well. It's funny that
he failed at Norwich when he was like nineteen, Like
Norwich rounds are like Norwich rounds, like you've got this guy.
But but I think he's gonna he's gonna surprise me.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
He looks.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
I mean he's going to start for asking I thing
on Friday, because I mean I don't see any left, anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Else coming and left.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
And it does appear that they want to sell Martinelli,
but they might end up keeping him.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
They tried to.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
They try to offload Martinelli to Turkey and he's like,
I've got a lot of hair.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And I'm actually doing Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Although you
know what I mean, check check the temples, Gabrielle.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You know, you never know, bro, he's gonna get in
a widows speak, you know, you know, just pay for
it out.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Anyway, any Jamal, you look like you had to say something.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
No, I guess I was just gonna say that Solie
looks great. And I'm shocked at there weren't more bids
for him, like just the fact that he was at
Bruga and it got relegated with Norwich, Like.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There are reports where there were other teams asking about him,
but once he heard we came calling, he said, bro,
fuck all that, Like I know where I'm going if
Arsenal wants me, like I don't need to hear anything
else that I don't care and type again the polarity. Man,
it's changing, like it really feels even though if anything
didn't work out, and obviously in looking at his performances
(11:34):
in pre season for Real Madrid, I'm like, you know,
it is probably better off that.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
That didn't happen. Yeah, I'm I don't even know what
I was gonna say. I think I'm think I'm catching
fumes off the toilet seed.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you're saying sols is like
he wants to be there and he's just showing it,
and it's like, yeah, anyone that wants to come to
your club is like you're like you're already a fan
favorite and like, come on, welcome this this play a
rimfe sir, it would be I guess it would be
a bit harsh on him if you, like Vinnie gets
signed like three weeks later as well, you're never gonna play.
(12:06):
But it does feel like I don't know, they've just yeah,
Arsenal are looking it felt we're watching the preseason how good.
But Arsenal comented all the other top teams have had
the least change, like same manager, like and they've added Bruno.
They're gonna add Conza as a backup because he's probably
gonna play a lot, and he's mates of soccer as
(12:28):
a sor of the documentary. But yeah, no, Arsenal looking
pretty good. If I was not gonna add one like
game changing attack, it's I think it's the league is done. Yeah, genuinely,
it's like because it's also like ouder Guard looks fit,
Kai's fit, Soccer looks better, Like if those guys are fit,
that's already a massive upgrade on last season. So massively biased,
(12:49):
but it does look pretty good right now and the
middle is just stacked.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We just got to ride it out with these guys
until what like it's always their Christmas as always they
winter period.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That is the problem.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
And I'm remember, yeah, I'm like, maybe you know, don't
play soccer so much. Maybe give him a Carabo game
every now and again, Like I'm seriously like, keep that
guy on ice until like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, he looked a little bit better. I'd imagine that.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Obviously they're looking at his fitness and you know, you
know they're not going to play him early.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
They're loving the braids, he looks.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Yeah, how long do you maintains the braids for? Is
that just the whole season thing?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Damn, sh it's hurt too, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it is a tough process.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I don't know, I mean easier, right, It's got a
lot quicker if it's braided.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right, yeah, true, you just kind of getting.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Time on the training ground less time in the shower.
That's the standards. Guys, guys.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I prefer guys. But braid is fine guys if you
have to do it, but I prefer ball guys.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I mean, like I wonder if it's like one of
the summer hairs, because you know, like people always come
into training with like their hair their ship bleached, and
you're doing that as long as like it grows out,
because you're not going to bleach it again when it's time.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
To rebraid and be like you know what I'm I'm
actually tender headed.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Rika Lewis had his hair bleached.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, I did not.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
But listen, man, that's also whenever it's a black player
gets their hair bleached, you know they're going through something mentally.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
World Cup wasn't great for him. World Cup was not
great for him.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, no, no, anyway, transfer stuff you said, contest in
Bruno guimer Ice is in and now looks like we're
still we're still open. The Aussie main thing looks like
it's pretty much not like not not realistic, and yeah,
I'm still I'm still kind of thinking. I'm not sure
(14:50):
if like we're actually legitimately really in for a yield
is because it sounds like Juventus doesn't want to sell
and Alvarez is fully not going to Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But I don't think. I don't know, I don't know
if that's still.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
What did we what did we find out? What do
we read about about Deco and Alparez? They're considering marriage,
some marriage, and I thought it wasn't like I thought
it was fully a joke, but it was like I
think it was on like a.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Quite it was on a Barcelona for them.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I to look this up.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Considering all options to get Alvarez in the club, one
option they discussed recently was Deco and Julian to become
legally married and the spouse's law Julian would legally be
allowed to relocate to Barcelona's live with his husband Deco.
And I was like, well, is that bullshit? But it's
it's from an account of four hundred and eighty thousand poloms,
so that must be true.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, that's so crazy. I don't think it's true.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But also a Chuck and Larry clause.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah, it sounds like an eighties movie, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Right there?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Fellas? Is it gay to marry a player? That makes sure.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I'd do it if we are, just if we just
had to kiss in front of it, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Whatever, Like, who's in charge of that? Is that an
immigration issue?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You have to kiss, you have to kiss a your
You're interesting the person who's gonna look at this spousal visa.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I would go as far as maybe like one single,
one single genital touch you, but you got to touch
my meat.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Though you you off of the say thesa agent all
all freskin with we're married, so I love his junk.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Called freskin fo. Yeah, I got this ship all right,
But otherwise we were so we're talking about city. Things
aren't looking great because it's definitely a transitional year. But
we also we're getting this pet Guardiola documentary. I think
it's out, but I've just been people been clipping it
out and sharing stuff, and my god, this this documentary
(16:52):
looks wild, like like all or nothing, but like about
a man's like emotional state.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's so crazy that he he's like up the ante,
like we we watched Michael Artela like like just screaming
at a bunch of players in a club, just like
do better, try harder. And now he like, now we
get to see Pep do it to himself.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yep, yep, yep. There's just there's There was one that
was a clip with like him and Kyle Walker arguing,
like Kyle Walker is a fucking dick.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He's like, why would say my name?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Why we say amon because he's like, he's like, because
you missed them all I said, I said, I said name,
I said his name.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I said whoever name, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And he's like, but he's just like they get in
these open like this open shouting match. I'm like, oh, ship,
Like this is truly like you know when you're like
seeing something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm like, bro, they're not going to have you back
on the next season. If this is how you're acting
in the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Writer's room, Bro, if this is how you're behaving, they're
not going to have you back on this ship. And
that's how Kyle Walker was like you could see the
other players just like cringing, like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
As he's encomforting with Pep. Yeah, and then Pep started
getting emotional. It's like, guys, I'm just trying to like
the best. It was a lot and that's.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Right, Kyle, You've made Pep cry.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
They sent his ass to Burnley so fast.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, he said, Holy that ship.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And then the other thing we talked about obviously last
season we said, will this divorce is his divorce? And
then Chris you brought it up that You're like, the
divorce probably shouldn't be overlooked.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And as we dug deeper.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And read more and more, the details were like, dude,
Pep Guardiola might be broken man because of this divorce.
And we have now we have a quote where after
they lost the uvent is in December, what he said
to the Man City team in addressing room.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
He said, guys, I.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Want to confess something. I'm fucking divorced from the most
beautiful woman in your planet, in your I love her
low Wayne, but we lost the passion. I love her absolutely,
she loved me. Yeah, but we lost a passion. You're
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm assuming that then led into and I'm worried this
team is losing the passion.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Maybe he just sends up guy, I am.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
It's the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life.
It looks like a baby, but he's shaped like a
man something.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Look at his body, so bad, so so bad. He's
a bad guys. Look at him pat Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this documentary because I mean, like,
the camors were fucking everywhere, and.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
They do documentaries different overseas. Man, they really did y'all
shops be for real? First off?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Why what would you do? You don't they don't really
film all the time every.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
No, we do the type of documentaries where he's where
Michael Jordan is executive producing his own I'm worady for
to do this true two quarters of the fucking story right.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
And I took it, and then I took it personally
and I won the game for the whole team, all right,
Hep is just crying. I wish I had creative control.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Guys, bro, I want to give us all credit for
being on the Pep story.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
By the way, I think we all sinsed it. I
saw that say it.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
In the locker room. Yeah again, his wife's player this season.
For me, truly, I don't know what you did. You
broke him. I hope he finds it. And now that
he's gone, I'm like, Pep, Bro, I really hope you.
I hope maybe you can rekindle it. Man, I really
I wish that for you.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Ou de Garde season before last was particularly bad and
he just had a baby, which as people, I mean
Miles will know, is like you, it's hard to function
when you're not having sleep.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
With a child, so it is a factor.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
And you can imagine he's very like Scandinavian where he's
like that's so he's like, I want to do my
part and stuff, and he's not going to leave it
to the nanny. What we should do is get the
wags and children breakdown of every squad and look at
that and be like, who's who's going to have their
personal life locked on lockdown so they can concentrate on
(21:16):
winning the league because of divorce, like Trossard last season,
they're gone through some marriage and stuff and then and
he had a different then he came out the other side.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So you know.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Who just yeah, I don't know who else. Who do
you think is gonna who's who's whose? Whose relationship is
gonna cause them to have a dip in form? And
then I mean, Socca looks pretty Sacle looks pretty locked
in with his girl.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He looks like they're gonna they're gonna have a baby soon.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I feel I can have a baby.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Soit decks and I going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, listen, deck he homely. He liked that, he liked
the state of the crib. He'd be playing PlayStation. Mm hmm,
I'll tell you all about I ain't like that they
had him hanging out with Tims. Hey, get hear him
away from Tims. Tim's too hot for this right now.
We need Yeah, his wife, you cannot have soccer like
(22:04):
Soccer's wife should be the hottest woman he interacts with
for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't want to see him near any other batties.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah, got to keep him focused. I think he's okay,
he's okay, he's a good Christian boys. Yeah, he's a
good Christian boy. Yeah, he'll be all right, he'll be
all right, he'll be right.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I just do want to talk about this one thing
that was going viral where the Chelsea's social media account
on threads, they posted like last week, They're like, hey,
we'll change They said, quote, we'll change our threads bio
to whatever the top comment says that top That top
comment came from Rel the singer, and it was re
Palestine period. And then after that they acted like this
(22:58):
year wasn't even happening. They deleted the pope like they
never ever made this offer and never said pop comment
changes the bio.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Then a few days later they just posted with a
clapping emoji.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
Admins don't control when signings are announced and then it's
me maud Holly replied, but they do control when bios
get updated.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
To free Palace pie ratio on that one, still quiet.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
Then Amanda Touch posted calling out that the account with
the trademark Chris Martin attack Cow hitting them with that,
and then they got a community note when for like
the women's team for their preseason, because I think a
bunch of people were like posting on there's a community
note that said uh sport sport account claims they will
(23:48):
put top comment in bio deletes post after free Palestine
gets most likes.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Scum account Free Palestine.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh damn a women's account.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
So yeah, a women's team.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Even are they even sponsored by the same AI bullshit?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
MM, I don't know. I think they're still called Chelsea.
They're still called Chelsea at least.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Did you see how they they're changing the name to
the U nineteens and the U twenty ones for Chelsea.
They're gonna be called Cobbom next Gen. They're not even
the Chelsea's YouTube. They're gonna it's their own thing called
Cobbom next Gen because that's their training ground.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But like that is some e sports ass ship, Like
what the fuck.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Is that name?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
That is?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That is no one has ever done anything like that.
Like you have to come from outside of the sport
to think that's a good idea.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
The amount of like books I'm thinking outside the box
that like Bowley and egg Balley and all that must
have read to think you just gotta hey, you just
gotta flip the script guy. And but every idea they've
come up with is absolutely awful.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's like, what do we what do we call the
U nineteens and you, I don't know, call the U nineteens.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Man, there's still Chelsea. This is our program problem next gen?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
What if instead have a kit, we just played topless,
we just played Skins, We'd beat the Chelsea Skins.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You know I'm talking with that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, every kit is an NFT that gets raffled off
at the end.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
I'm just thinking about how like once again, like the
people in charge of stuff just showing that they're idiots.
If Chelsea actually said free Palestine, that wouldn't probably make
them a ton of money, and just they would gain
so much goodwill. Maybe they would fucking know how to
keep a midfielder from getting a red card all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I just don't think you're gonna see any team with
that much public exposure ever played yet political like that, unfortunately,
because I mean like even when people try and bring
flags and stuff, they're like they'll be like no, no, no, no, no, no,
take that down, Take that down, Take that down, which
is a shame because you know, Global sports and those
(26:00):
borders would probably be like yeah, yeah, we don't, we
don't need to, you know, I'll just skate here and
hide around what's happening.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
But it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Let's take a break, let's come back, and I think
it's time we need to do some predictions because the
season is about to start, and I think we need to.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
We need to, We need to.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
We need to put our wizard caps on and look
into the future and see what we see.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Come roughly May twenty ninth, twenty twenty seven, and we'll
do that right after the break. Now we're back.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Time for us to do the thing that every sports
show will do before the season starts. Predictions Top four?
What do you have to do in the top four,
top five, top six? Should we just think? Should we
redefine who the new the next big six is or
just top top four to four?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Yeah, and hey that's to make balley thinking what if
we just did four and a half guys?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And then also as a bonus, we will ask where
it's taught and finish. Yeah, that's true. This is a
good one. Tottenham report well, although by the way they're spending,
I mean they're spending like they think about being top four.
That's about It looks like they're talking about doing a
double deal for Saudino and mar Mouche.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah, that's fucked up.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I'm trying to work out who I think is gonna.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They price the other own highlights from the last two seasons.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I know, all right, so what top six or top four?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Let's do top four and if we wanted, we can
just kind of because I feel like it's going to
be really tight for me. I feel like the ones
I'm kind of clear on are maybe one to three.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Oh and what's your one? One is what we all do?
Speaker 6 (27:49):
We all thinks they're gonna win again.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I think we are going to retain. Yeah, I think
retain the title. I think it comes.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I think it comes the signings really big because he's like,
no one really is as good as Saliba in that position,
but I think he gives a lot of what was
missing there as much as they kept clean sheet and
Cherry Shield Community Shield. Sorry, I think that. And then
if they can have one more attacker, it's going to
be a very easy league win. But I think it'll
(28:18):
be awesome. Will win it, Yes, I agree.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I didn't think so honestly before the Community Shield. The
preseason was so wobbly. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But I mean it's a World Cup though, yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Weeople will actually look ready to play.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
We look ready to play. We're so deep in the
positions that like really matter. And the other thing wasn't
it you that's said who said the thing that said
like Arteta had to do his little linguistic sort of
trick here where he was like, we're not the defending
Premier League champions, We're the.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Attacking happened to trophy?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, I have you know, like, well, I know
we all know some cynical Arsenal supporters who are like
our hit as a bum and even like when we won,
they're like, yeah, we'll see about next season. Like, bro,
we just won. One of my most cynical friends who
supports Arsenal, was like, okay, we looked real good in
that one.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
We looked real good at that one.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And I'm like, okay, finally, finally, not just we're not
we're not parking the bus, blah blah bah. I'm like, dude,
that was never the case, Like, and I know you
don't feed into that dumb ship that as if we
were we were the team parking of the bus.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
We always we played the highest line.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Uh and also we're also like going against the most
low blocks of any other team, so like, yeah, shit
looked crazy a lot of the time. So anyway, okay,
so we all agree number one, Arsenal, Number two, Chris,
who's your number two? It's really hot.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I think it might be Chelsea okay, mm hmmm it
was them and Vella.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I think it might. I think it's I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
It's hard to know who sits you're gonna buy, but
I do think it'll Harlan.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Harlan's hard to look past, like not just getting you
into top three.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Let's go Chelsea second, and I'm going to go City
third because Chelsea don't have midweek games, which I think.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Is massive yeah yeah for this period.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
And they've also obviously got Jordan Henderson, which is which
is going to tip him over.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Into that's the big signing.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
I think Chelsea second and City third.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I think, all right, well, and do you want to
just go ahead and hit us before.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Oh yeah, I think Villa will be top four. I
think Unai again, consistency is going to be a thing.
I mean, he might even so I kind of want
to put them in the top three, but I just
think like the no midweek is just a giant. But
if Enzo goes to City that changes it. But for
now I'll go Chelsea, second City, third, Villa fourth.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
All right, what about I'm gonna go Villa second City, third,
Man United fourth.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Sorry, just one thing on Villa. Can we talk about
you know?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
He said Don Aruma looks like, can we talk about
the striker for Villa that I shared with you guys?
I mean, he had this crazy game if he wouldn't
see it in the like it's the europe League winners
versus the Champions League winners and the guy was absolutely
(31:20):
bossing the PSG defense.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
He had.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Abouts needs to get his name.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Brian mad Joe from England via Luxembourg.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I believe he's technically mate.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
He just he missed. He missed so many chances, but
he was just a beat.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
One of the most physically domin performance has ever seen
from playing seventeen. So that's a big help for them
because because that is he close to I think I
reckon I read that they were like he They managed
to him in January seventeen and because of some work
permit rules, because he's been luck because of you know,
(31:58):
the UK is not an the EU anymore. They went
to a court of law to get him to play
for them, Like really, why and he's like, oh, it's
because you've got like this is crazy phenomenon.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
They went to a country where you could marry a
seventeen year old.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, I married him.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, he wouldn't. He didn't shake his hand
at the wedding night. Yeah, he refused to shake his hand.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
He saw Brian Mago come out in the dress and
he did that. I think he just touched the corners
of his mouth, like just staring at him like a
fucking freak. Wait, but they did sign my boys on Suzuki,
so I'm looking forward to that, although I'm curious what
happens that science Suzuki had a decent World Cup in Japan,
(32:47):
and I'm like, that's backup. That's pretty solid backup, I think,
although we've never seen him play in the prime, like
he's just been playing Siriana.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
No, they're trying to sell much to this, right, I
mean they should he backed.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Out of any where?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Did he where? Did that move failed to?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Oh? I think they've been trying to get rid of
him and he already said it's goodbye is two seasons ago.
So yeah, Martins, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
They're gonna transcend, but no, it's anyway, sorry, we're going.
But then me and me and Jamel similar logic. I
think Villa are going to be pretty good and I'm
weirdly Tottenham with the same logic as Chelsea. I think
we'll be annoyingly good.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I think they'll get top ten. Yeah, get to the
top half.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But yeah, so so you had you had Villa second,
Jamel who was then Manchester?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Uh Darby back the three fourths in United. You I'm
applying the one the one game of week theory to United.
Wait do they have Champions League this year?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
They were Champions League.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's why I'm not putting, you know what, I'm still
rolling something about I'm just I don't know, I'm I'm
actually still worried about them.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Their fans very upset by how little they've done any shopping, right, Miles,
you shared that thing they've spent less money.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Then both like two promoted teams have spent more. Let's
see Ipswich, as of like four days ago, had spent
one hundred and nine million pounds on incomings signings Coventry
ninety two million, United eighty three million, and you know
Andre Santos Telemans.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Those are good players for that midfield.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So for me, I'm going Arsenal one city not not
so close second, because I just think there's a lot
there's still enough momentum in that team with a manager
that kind of is speaking a similar language to kind
of keep it moving in the right direction. Then Chelsea third,
United fourth. I see United on the top four. I
(34:40):
think they're going to have a really strong start to
the season just with the continuity that they have from
last year going into this one.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
That's just like they just getting Belieba, which is an
interesting signing because he had pretty good this season for
last dropped off last season. But they got Telamans who's
physically not great but is good smart players though, yeah, yeah, smart,
we'll see.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I think they're gonna struggle with the midweek that's my
theory here.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
But I can see the draw first because what if
they get that? What if they get a sweet ass draw?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah? Yeah, game.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Where do you guys see Liverpool like just outside the
top five? Top four? Because I feel like they are,
but the depth.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I mean, the europe spots this year are going.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
To be coming in really that I'm like, it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, I'm worried for them. I'm not really worried.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I'm not up at all night worried about Liverpool.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
But I think they've No, I don't think they've addressed
a lot of their They've bought some young players, they've
got jack their defenses, a lot of injuries already.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
But Jeremy Jacket looks good. I was watching some of
their preseason. Yeah, he looks really good. He looks like
a good player. So I don't I don't know, but yeah,
like there's still a lot of you know, like people
talk about the defense, people talk about just in their
their front three. How does it all? Who's playing where?
Who's been properly replaced? Curtis John's just left for intern
out that he was really going to be starting.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
But I think that makes no longer. There's no more
Scousers now playing for Liverpool with Catus leading for inter Milan.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, and interesting is that Ezac gets a full pre season,
Like it'd be like a new signing to quote the
great Man or somethinga but yeah, yeah, be interesting. He
does so funny when players doesn't play for you almost
you're like, oh, are you going to But he also
just started so badly this season when he was technically
not injured, but he had not a pre season, so
(36:42):
he has a lot to prove how much he costs.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
But I wonder if there's just like a hangover from
the way he left Newcastle that just kind of carried
in with He was like, it's kind of an ugly Yeah, yeah, yeah,
shout out that song.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I'm more interested in, uh like five through seven or
I mean what Premier League is gonna end up with
eight europe spots?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
M hmmm, I think so. Yeah, Like Bonnemouth are gonna
I mean that's something something.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
There's a lot of it's gonna be the same again,
it's gonna be a lot of down the top ten
are gonna be good teams.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah yeah, yah, it's gonna be a great I mean
there's gonna like, there's will be a lot of fun
matches to watch for the Neutrals. But for those of
us who are very invested, I will be glad to see.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
I'm gonna end up what he is watching fucking leads
and fucking ipswitch one.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Day, oh man, anything else? I mean, we're keeping this
one short because my my internet is running out as
I speak.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I have to be peddling a bicycle to keep it operated.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
You he has a very clear like meter.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Like that's what that's what the is for. Gives you
enemy just cycle and power the internet.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Wait, so how do you use the internet here? Okay,
so there's a you see that eight ball by the
recombit a little the stationary bike. So you just keeps
sniffing that and peddling and for every kill, every three
miles you do, that's about fifteen minutes the Internet.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
And I'll just try not to post any videos or
watch any long form stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Oh but it was earlier, was so messed up, like
somebody was trying to watch something. They were watching the
Mystics game and I streamed something on my phone like
she was just like completely falling apart.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
It was like, no, yeah, now we're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Yeah streaming a Mystics game in Costa Rica though, that
you doing the lord's work.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Oh yeah no, my friends are their season ticket holders.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
So I was like this, this Toronto team is nonsense.
All though.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Shout out my girl Kiki Rice. She was doing her thing.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Anyway, season starting pretty much the day after you guys
hear people hear this Friday, Well, how do you think
what's the feeling from that for that Coventry match before
we take off. Obviously this is a mostly Arsenal podcast personally,
but we like to talk about everything, but Coventry is
definitely top of mind, and especially after that community show performance,
I'm really really looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Go to assume they'll actually give us a tougher game
than City did.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
I think Arsenal is going to win that not easily.
Mate at home, It's going to be a welcome to
the Premier League of Coventry. I mean, that's going to
be a yeah, that's going to be another three nil
And no, I'm I'm pit like it's funny because obviously
the World Cup and then I was like, oh, I'm
like a functional human being on the weekends. But now
I'm like, soon it starts, I'm like to my wife and.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Child, No I'm not.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be just dipping out on our
family quite frequently, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Just go back with like baskets of goods. Oh yeah,
that's how you circumvent that.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
No, that's you order it online and then it arrives
while you're watching it, so you don't even have to
stop watching it. Biggest man City Bournemouth. Man, that's going
to be a big old game after the how the
last season ended?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
And where's Croopy? Is he still on?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
No, he's injured and he's injured for three I think
because he's injured, Arsenal havn't pull the trigger on him,
but I think him. I wonder Arsenal won't buy a
left sider and then in January they might buy Creepy.
But Newcastle Liverpool obviously looks like a big game. Brentford
Tottenham and yeah.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
That's all right man, that will be I don't know
if you noticed that was gone, but internet just went out.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, so you go to the end.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
We got to the end, man, we got to the end.
We know.
