game this week if loser in the top four again
coming up against Arsenal, the Mighty Arsenal.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We'll get into that.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I know if if we beat them, we can almost
stop their title. Yeah hopes. Yes, I was kind of
weird to say that in early November, but it's a
big gap already. We will touch on that.

numbers same side as footy numbers, but EPR numbers.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
What's your best forty? I think reckon you today. I
want to see it. We might have to do a
little short after this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I want to see if you can actually how many
you can actually get even still mate, doesn't even have
to be a short. Okay, no pressure to look all right,
let's get into it around the grounds. We're going to
have a look at some of the results over the weekend,
the Champions League during the week as well. I'll start
off here. We'll start with City and Arsenal because what
is going on there? City lost to Bournemouth on the
weekend and then during the week they lose to Sporting
(01:40):
Lisbon for one yep, so what is going on that
they lost to post hum in the cup? What city
in the mud?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Like we said, Rogerie was going to be a big
out and oh god, looks like it's causing to be so.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And Arsenal as well well, like a surprising loss. Yeah,
Newcastle into newcast Newcastle been in horror form. Now Arsenal
into fifth, then they loosed into Milan in the Champions
in this morning. That's not that bad of a loss.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, I thought I thought that was pretty harsh as well.
I definitely deserved a point out of that game. Stiff
penalty against them and stiff penalty that they didn't get.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, going back to City just quickly on the Sporting Lisbon.
Obviously their coach is going over to Man You so
that would be yeah, Ameron, that would be so excited
Man New fans going Sporting Lisbon, who are in a
much lower league, much less money than Man City. Obviously
they were winning four one and then hopefully he can
bring that sort of attacking guidance to Menu and they
(02:36):
can start playing better. But I don't know if he's
going to I don't know if it's going to click
straight away. What.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
They're still one of the biggest powerhouses in Portugal, Sporting Lisbon. Yeah,
and they've got a good team. Yeah, goy Kurez who
is very good. He's scored a hat trick against City
in all fairness too of them were penalties, so you
know what good signs for me to Sanada, because when
Poch left Chelsea, I.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Was kind of ruben An would be really likely candidate
we'd get.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay, didn't turn out to be, and so Maresca got
it and he's thankfully doing it all.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's either it's either going to be really good for
Menu or the classic where coaches go to die. That's
where that's where it's been coach's career. It's like this guy,
we don't like this guy anymore. Yeah, but I actually
think it's gonna be pretty positive. Their team is still
not that bad. Menu. We like to talk them down
on this show, but their team is not that bad.
If they get a new coaching, it might be a
decent team.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah. Yeah, next one and be more positive.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Knots Nottingham Forest our third on the Premier League table.
I don't care if you said this in match week one.
I don't care if you said this in match after
match week ten. No one was saying that Notts would
ever be third on the on the Premier League t
I think this is great.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It was a there was a graph that showed I
think it was November last year, yeah, or when Nuno
took over Notts seventeenth. Yeah, and ten months later Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Third Chris Wood with eight and ten eight goals in
ten games. The key we best shot to goald conversion
rate in Premier League history pretty much. Yeah, it's literally
second to Earling Harland in the Premier League goals well
he has he has, so yeah, Chris Wood is better than.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He could be. A sneaky THINGBB.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Two or three behind. I think I might have to
have a look at that on but that is really surprising.
They smashed west Hands three and west Ham have been
so bad. I don't know what is going on there
not to just keep finding away.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They've got so.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Many good players, they're just playing their role really nicely.
Hudson and Door keep scoring. You've got who's got on
the our knee is pretty gone pretty well? Yeah defender Yeah,
former Chelsea's former.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Chelsea as well.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He said he was knacked. They said that, Yeah, I
was just knacking mate. I just had to.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I had to hit it as hard as I couldn't
hope for the best. And he's I was like, They're like,
did you know he's going to go top crowd. He's like, yeah,
I just hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's like hit it so not Honestly, they're my second
team at the moment.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
As long as they avoid the big defeat, they will
have their tails up for a while and I think
that that can definitely help. Where do we basically confirmed avoid?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, where do we think it's a goal for them?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Now? I know it's very it's only like not even
a third ten games in. Yeah, they still want to
be top half. But on the top half, the top.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Half I think is there's a good, good aim, it's
a good goal. Like still like you look at Newcastle,
we're in eleventh.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, they're only four points bey, but they're playing better
than obviously Fullham Brighton. I'd be backing knots against them
fourmouth as well. They're just they're just so consistent. Of
the back notes against Brighton, I wouldn't do that. I
would maybe when whenever they play, I'm gonna be my
best decent payout. Yeah, maybe another one around the grounds
menu one Chelsea one. We talked it up as the
(05:41):
biggest game, A little bit of a letdown.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It was very very big letdown, especially considering I stayed
up until.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Watching that game. Oh no, I was working at the time,
So yeah, you don't work it like midnight is just
on your sleeping schedules. Yeah, a little bit cooked, but
it was worth it with Closto equalizing. But that was
a really nice goal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice. The
other one was Tottenham for Villa one. I'm just putting
in some of the biggest results. Tottenham they're just so consistent,
(06:13):
the last smash a team at home and then when
they go away they're just crumble. Villa have just don't
look like themselves the last three or four weeks or
maybe I'd say three weeks haven't looked like themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Lost in the Champions League as well, yep against Club
Bruges this morning, so a little bit of a panic
stations maybe for them as well.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So yeah, Ange will be excited.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
They're still only seventh Tottenham, but they've got a bit
of a confidence booster there for one. Wine all right,
next one we're going to go to the best game
of the match week. Chelsea has just been featuring this
a lot, but there's just been big top. The big
six have been playing each other a lot lately, Chelsea
versus Arsenal. There was a lot of rathery in this office,
a lot of Chelsea fans, a few Arsenal fans that
(06:54):
have very up themselves. You love a bit of Chelsea
Stanford Bridge this time. But the biggest news to come
out of this game so far is that Hole Palmer
the best player in the world, one of the best
plays in the world.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We're best playing the best player in the Premier League
fifteen eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
He'd be up there in the world to be there. Yeah,
he's possibly got to miss this game. He hasn't trained
all week. He is the glue to Chelsea winning games. Yeah,
that's going to be a huge.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
At Even Alex was saying Arsenal fans Andre Martinez not
get sent off so.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Obviously, Yeah, he got injured from the Martinez Yeah, with.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Obviously the studs to the knee pulled up are so
thankfully if he is to miss it would just be
this game which is saving grace and plus is an
international break coming up, so even he might not even
play for another three weeks, might play for England that
might rest him there and then he doesn't have to play.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, true exactly, but look obviously to pig out, but
in Cunku or Felix would would be the ones to
fill that gap.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I prefer in Kunku, But I have a feeling. Is
Lace enough his little tape on his with his little balloon. Yeah,
I hope he brings it out on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, but I've got a feeling Maresca we're bringing Felix Felix. Okay,
but this is huge, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So Chelsea? Yeah, this is Arsenal. Probably need a win
here to stay in touch with the title race. I've
got written down here. Blackburn in nineteen ninety four are
the only team ever to come back from seven or
more points down for the title through ten games, So
this would be Yeah, I finally brought a stat to
way show there we go. This would be the biggest
comeback yeah four, which, yeah, it doesn't happen very often,
(08:34):
especially when you've got City, especially when you got Liverpool
absolutely firing under that Blackburn in that title race. They're
basically only versing me at Chester United.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah it was a bit easier.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, so it was a little bit easier, which
obviously makes this Arsenal comeback if they you've got.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Because yeah, you've got the little cool and City and
I just think like.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
The mid table clubs in the lower lower League are
getting better than obviously ten fifteen years ago, true even
twenty twenty years ago now.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So yeah, they have to have to get have to win,
but it's gonna be tough at Stanford Bridge. I've got
some other stats here. Arsenal have won at four of
the last five meetings. Last season US meeting was actually
an Arsenal win five Neil that was at the Emirates.
That was no Palmer as well. He didn't play the game,
so that's a bit of a worry for Chelsea fans.
And then a two old draw was the other one
at Stanford Bridge. I reckon that could be close to
(09:23):
the result we get this time. And who scored their
stat Scot I honestly can't remember the goat. Yeah yeah,
the Goatdrick Sorry yeah yeah, you love a bit of
mudick I was loving. I was like thinking, Palati Mari
(09:43):
Dona did he play that game? I wish Chelsea in
the current form, unbeaten in the last six home games
across all competitions. Started a bit shaky at home because
we I think we drew to Crystal Palace, but since
then have been really good, so they were pretty happy
with that. Arsenal winless in their last three league games,
so that's what's cost them that shot the title so far.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's a little bit worried there. Let's go goal scorers.
Who do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We can't. We can't pick co Parl once every time it. Yeah,
I want to go, mud, I want to go, I'll go,
I'll go, I'll go Jacko, Yeah, jack Jacko. Oba to
mind that I wore Jackson five? Who else could be
up there? I don't mind in Conker even if he
(10:27):
comes off the bench, because he could start just the
way that they play against us, And I reckon I'll
play a little bit of attacking as far as arsenalores go. Well,
I think Arsenal will score in this game. Yeah, I
reckon it will.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Be both probably, Yeah, Martin ully or soccer, depends which
side invertse because if Kukaia starts at left back yep
and inverts, that leaves a decent amount of space for
space for soccer.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, okay on his side, Yeah, I'd be going soccer.
So if I'm looking at it, player sculled. Yeah, we'll
be interesting to see the lineups when they come out.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Ye, and then we'll finish off the game of the
weekend with score didictions? What do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'll go one one. I was going to go to all.
I think it's going to be awesome game, one of
the games of the season. Both teams are going to
play pretty atacking because they'll want to win, so yeah,
for sure. Yeah, it should be one of the best
games to watch. Is that the best game of the weekend?
I think Liverpool and Villa play each other. Yeah, but
I was genuinely really tended to chuck that one in,
but Villa have just been really disappointing, and I reckon
Liverpool going to smash THEMS.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
This one is a lot more even.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. Sunday prime time as well.
Every good game in the Premier League in Australia is
three thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's just who's going to wake up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
On a Sunday morning at seven am to watch Liverpool Villa?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh no, not me. I'm going wrong the races. If
I'm still going after the after party.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Of the Races, I'd rather a three thirty game than
a seven am one on a Sunday on a Sunday,
just just stay awake all not Yeah, yeah, anyway, let's
get into it the best part of the show, the
back or lay bets thanks to Betfair, the only place
to back a lay bet on the EPR this season.
Let's look at it week. I don't really want to
talk about last week. Don't go back and look at
(12:03):
our tips. Oh you can look at mine. I was
I got one. I laid west Ham. Honestly, anything that
goes towards Knots is working well. Then we've had a
few ones where we've laid against Knots. Keep backing Knots
their third on.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The table last week.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
If it's a read, keep you on red yeap something
like that. Surprising Arsenal and Man City results have cost
us a few tips lately, so losing their last three
league games, Man City on the weekend losing to Bournemouth.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
There was a few tips in there last week that.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
They could have been four nil down. I think it's
genuinely there's they've been really consistent as well so well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
They have now beat Arsenal and City Barmouth. Yeah true season,
so sue you know what, they could be a cheeky
chance at.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The title path to Yes, no, I think they can
be top off for sure, but definitely not the title.
All right, we'll start off with Betfair's expert tips with
Tony Hargreaves. I'll do the first couple and then you
to the next ones. First up, he's going to back
Brentford at two dollars sixty for Brentford vers Bournemouth. We
just talked up Bournemouth, we did, but he's going Brentford.
Brentford are undefeated in the last four meetings between the two.
(13:04):
They're undefeated in five home games this season, including four wins.
A lot of those home games is where they've scored
the first goal, like really quickly. They've got a few
draws in there, so I'm almost a bit iffy on
this one compared to some other ones because a.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Draw could happen.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But Brentford at home with them Buamo and a few
other guys scoring goals, I don't mind that at two
dollars sixty, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Good with the price there.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I think Tony is leaning towards the home ground.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, they've been really good at home four with five wins.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I'm a little bit reluctant on this one just
because Brentford have considered twenty goals.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That is my attacking first too. A game. Yea and
Bournemouth are pretty solid.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, really well so, but I think yeah, Gtech Community
Stadium might pull a few strings.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yep, don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Next one is he's going to back over two and
a half goals at a dollar ninety for west Ham
versus Everton. This one is I really like this one
lot because there's just no defense between these teams. They're
fourteenth and sixteenth on the table. They play some attacking style.
Both teams are conceding over one point seven goals per game.
Tony sit the now on the head in this one.
Everton have had so many games where they've considered three
(14:09):
plus two plus you got west Ham just considered three
to knots obviously not a third, but they're both these teams.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Defense is not good. They're both going to.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Play attacking because they want to move at the table.
So over to and a half goals, Yeah, what do
you reckon? I know? I love that one like Dolan ninety. Yeah,
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Next two, what are you from? Tony T Dog is
backing both teams to score at a dollar seventy in
the Wolves Southampton game.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So a bit of a bottom table clash, yes, coming
up here. I think it actually might be twentieth first nine.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It is the bottom of the tail class.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Wolves have won the past five meetings, however, although Southampton
were in the Championship last season, ye six of the
past eight have had both teams score, so that's good
signs here yep. So look the goal difference for both
teams bad. They need a score like I actually really
like this one from Tony because you go, look, they haven't,
especially south have had hard any goals just the seven,
(15:02):
just the second in what team games? Oh, that's so bad.
But they need to come out and play attacking, and
I reckon both teams will both teams have poor defenses.
They've got to come out and try and play attacking
otherwise they've got no chance of moving at the table.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
So all in you as well. Generally very open game.
As we saw with Chelsea, Wolves saw the same with Liverpool.
Wolves can be pretty open.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
This is the biggest tip probably of the show. This
is this is the one everyone's been waiting for.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
A big game, going heavy on this one.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Chelsea Arsenal, he's laying someone who do you think he's
laying stats guy? Chelsea is laying en Bridge so I'm
going to lean towards Arsenal. He is laying Arsenal a
two dollars fifty, so he believes a Chelsea win or
drawers on the cards. I don't mind that Arsenal League
titles chances are getting tough. We mentioned that before.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Obviously, Since twenty ninety four, no team has come back
from seven this margin to win the title. Both teams
have identical records, win, draw lost points, similar goal difference
as well, similar goals scored, same goal was conceded.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I believe. I think we've considered one more. I
had a look at it before.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
They've got slightly better defense and we've got Chelsea's got
a slightly better yes, which so it's really really close,
which is funny because if you said this last year,
you would have gone no way Chelsea on the same measure.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, but he's got laying Arsenal two dollars fifty.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Bit of value. I think there's good value there. Yeah yeah,
why not? All right? You want to roll straight into
your one. You've got to improve, mate. I feel like
ahead of us to I've been gone more value.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Last week actually last week was Alex, not you anyway,
So I can get it out.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I am going value again, Okay, what I do. I'm
laying a draw, so I'm going either a Nottingham Forest
or Newcast will winning that game at three dollars fifty five.
Laying the draw.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So you don't want to draw? Don't want to draw? Okay,
I don't want to draw. Both team's previous three results
in the league in the past three weeks, I haven't
been a draw yep, for both sides, and the previous
six meeting dating back to nineteen ninety six have seen
one of these sides win. There hasn't been a draw
since nineteen ninety six before, so we wouldn't even know.
(17:10):
But yeah, the draw, So no draw. I should don't
mind that because not to have match winners. And Newcastle
they do, they just haven't they do together. They might
have a bit of pride and energy now that they
beat Arsenal, so yeah, true, true, I'll be up and
about and Chelsea in the cups. Yeah, don't mind that,
all right. I'm finding a little bit of value, not
as much view as the three dollars fifty five, but
I'm laying Crystal Palace at two dollars eighty.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
For Crystal Palace verse Fulham.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I like that pers have been so bad Fulham. They're
unbeaten in their last three away trips to sell her Spark,
so really really good signs there. They've both got sorry,
they both these teams have a lot of draws, four
draws and three draws for their teams respectively before them.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Now up to ninth, they're playing really good football.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, they're playing good for They've got Emil Smith Row
that's killing it. You've got Anthony Robinson's getting assist every
couple of games. He has been so good. I can't
believe I'm saying an American in the Premier League is
doing really wellod it's good signs. We haven't had one
in a while. Even though Americans think policy what they
what are the Americans claim Lebron James the soccer fellow.
I don't know if we've got any Americans watching the COMA.
That is just that is disrected Lebron. That is disrespectful
(18:12):
to the game of football, that is disrespected to the
Premier that's disrespectable to policy because he's a good player,
but don't compare it to the y anyway. That's a
pressure I feel like that could be a little clip anyway.
Uh yeah, I think Fulham are going to get the
job done here, but just in case, because Salo's Park
for a lot of teams isn't the easiest place to play.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So you get the draw all the full and win
at two dollars eight every No.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I love that one. I reckon that's the that's the
bet of the weekend. Perfect, that's our betfair back o
a bets. Let's have a quick break before we get
into some trivia with Olivia.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Week to get line trivia questions right.

So which team won the very first Premier League title? Manchester?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It was I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I would have gone Manu or someone old like Liverpool,
Everton or that makes sense though Manchester. Well, Liverpool had
one title in the Premier League era except.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
For Yeah, what am I talking about? No, definitely not Liverpool.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You know I won thirteen titles.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
There we go, Marcus all over it. I absolutely cook.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Thanks Olivia.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
We got a bit of ball knowledge, of ball knowledge,
a bit pretty easy. All right, We're going to finish
off the show quick fire tips EPL match Week eleven predictions.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'll read them out and then we'll go through them.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
First one the Powerhouse Clash of the six point the six.
It is a six. Just the match of the weekend allegation. Arguably,
it's too early to have allegation more detrimental to a
club than being in a titled ra Well, I know
you're saying, but it's only match week eleven. If it
was matchually thirty six, Southampton down. Anyways. You know, no
(20:15):
club has ever come up out of the promoter teams.
All three have never stayed safe, stayed safe at least
one of them have.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Been really never never, never never. There's always one that
gets relegated.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
There's always one. Okay, there you go, what Wolves, Southampton Wolves?
You gotta go Wolves, I think.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, I don't think they're as bad as the table suggests,
even though they've conceded a load of goals.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I think it's like twenty seven or something.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah, Southampton even worse and I'm more than you easy
Wolves up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, I reckon. I reckon as well, maybe like even
like a three and nil. Their team isn't that bad.
They've they've played a lot of the really good teams.
Next one west Ham versus Everton fourteenth verse sixteens. We're
just we're.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Slowly gone up tamely. This is rough. This is rough,
but Everton aren't that bad and west Ham shouldn't be
that bad.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, I'm so confused with this match.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
No critus as well.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I think four five games suspended for the whole Tottenham
debarkle when you went all wwe on vana n Let's
bring back to beth You know what, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
To go a draw. I love a d I'm going
west Ham. I jinxed them last season. They should be better,
so come on, west Han, do something about it. Your
team's not that bad. Brentford versus Bournemouth this is a
really tricky one. Tony's gone Brentford. Yeah, I'm going to go.
I'm actually going to go. I don't mind that. I
don't mind that I'm actually going to go. I'm back
in t Dog as you call.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Him, Brentford.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You're going to go them at GTEx Community Stadium. Next one,
Krystal Palace versus Fulham. Oh, I reckon for them. Yeah,
I'm going for them as well, leaning to ninth. They're
not that far off, like ye the higher parts of
the table. So Brighton versus man City. This is actually
a tricky one because Brighton have been really strong against
(21:53):
man City at the ax and man City have looked
so bad the last three three losses on the troll
all in different competition.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, two weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Sorry, you'd expect them to bounce back, but I'm actually
I'm actually going to go.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Another drawer here. I want to see the oh points shared.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Do I go Brighton?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah? Come on, the seagulls, come on, let's go for
such a scary mascot. Actually, the seagulls over it over there,
very scary and big. That's that's another story.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Liverpool versus aston.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Villa, easy one should be Liverpool. That's just been have been.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
There's also been a mixed bagg of results when these
things play against each other. So it wasn't that long
ago when Auston Villa beat Liverpool seven to one. Yeah
that was at Villa Park and I think they still
have Jack Realish then back then, but bring him back. Look,
I'm sorry to do it to you, but I'm gonna
go another draw.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You figure another draw, geez talking about value on bedfare.
That would be paying a lot that draw. I've got
Liverpool that will smoke them there too. Good At the moment,
Arnest a lot is working his magic. Is man United
VERSU Leicester City? This is It shouldn't be a tricky one.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
These two teams played each other recently, didn't they in
the Cup? United one for but Leicester played the C team.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, their team was horrible, I don't know what and
United were decently strong so five.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Two in the end.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But it was because unless they didn't have a good
team yet. Look, I'm still going to go. I'm still
going to go Manchester United. Yeah, man, they looked okay
on the weekend they got a new interim manager. Just
the vibes of old Trafford with rude Vander story and
the dugout. It was just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, it's a little bit nice though, sort of the
perfect storm, I think.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yep, I agree. I'm going Manu as well. Not as
far as first Newcastle. I reckon we might disagree.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm got we spoke on this one. We did not
their third Chris, what is the goats? Is the New
Zealand legend? Get around?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm going against you. Oh, I'm going to go Newcastle.
I'm going to go the opposite, even though they're away.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I just think so bad.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I just think not so Jude for a loss. I
think they've only lost one game this season and was
against Fulham. Belief Okay, yeah, so yeah, I'm going to
go Newcastle or just up after Arsenal. Yeah that was
against the cup against Chelsea, so why not?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Next one Tottenham versus if switched down the Tottenham home game.
I think it's gonna be goals in this because both
teams are going to play their football, they play attacking
football and they're both very good on the break. Yes,
I think Tottenham has scored the most goals in the
league with have they I think so?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, double check that. But that is a good one too.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I believe you are correct, that is crazy and the
seventh that's what. Yeah, but if which Nat scored a
couple of goal, I wouldn't be surprised to this is
for two. I'm going Tottenham as well. Then the big
I'm already touched on it. Chelsea versus Arsenal the draw,
So I'm happy with a drawer.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I reckon that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I reckon that would be a really good game, high scoring.
Make sure to check the lineups as well because it'll
be interesting. Cole Palmer. Rice's question pod Guard should be back,
but will you start? Rice might be back.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I didn't play well this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Is he going to start? Michael Marino might be a cancust?
You don't know, so I don't want it more. Drick,
your man might play. You better come off the bench. Yeah,
I want to see that man in action.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Nice. All right, that was our quick fire tips. I'm
calling it.

Speaker 1 (00:28):

Speaker 2 (01:13):
What's your best forty? I think reckon you today. I
want to see it. We might have to do a
little short after this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I want to see if you can actually how many
you can actually get even still mate, doesn't even have
to be a short. Okay, no pressure to look all right,
let's get into it around the grounds. We're going to
have a look at some of the results over the weekend,
the Champions League during the week as well. I'll start
off here. We'll start with City and Arsenal because what
is going on there? City lost to Bournemouth on the
weekend and then during the week they lose to Sporting
(01:40):
Lisbon for one yep, so what is going on that
they lost to post hum in the cup? What city
in the mud?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Like we said, Rogerie was going to be a big
out and oh god, looks like it's causing to be so.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And Arsenal as well well, like a surprising loss. Yeah,
Newcastle into newcast Newcastle been in horror form. Now Arsenal
into fifth, then they loosed into Milan in the Champions
in this morning. That's not that bad of a loss.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, I thought I thought that was pretty harsh as well.
I definitely deserved a point out of that game. Stiff
penalty against them and stiff penalty that they didn't get.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, going back to City just quickly on the Sporting Lisbon.
Obviously their coach is going over to Man You so
that would be yeah, Ameron, that would be so excited
Man New fans going Sporting Lisbon, who are in a
much lower league, much less money than Man City. Obviously
they were winning four one and then hopefully he can
bring that sort of attacking guidance to Menu and they
(02:36):
can start playing better. But I don't know if he's
going to I don't know if it's going to click
straight away. What.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
They're still one of the biggest powerhouses in Portugal, Sporting Lisbon. Yeah,
and they've got a good team. Yeah, goy Kurez who
is very good. He's scored a hat trick against City
in all fairness too of them were penalties, so you
know what good signs for me to Sanada, because when
Poch left Chelsea, I.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Was kind of ruben An would be really likely candidate
we'd get.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay, didn't turn out to be, and so Maresca got
it and he's thankfully doing it all.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's either it's either going to be really good for
Menu or the classic where coaches go to die. That's
where that's where it's been coach's career. It's like this guy,
we don't like this guy anymore. Yeah, but I actually
think it's gonna be pretty positive. Their team is still
not that bad. Menu. We like to talk them down
on this show, but their team is not that bad.
If they get a new coaching, it might be a
decent team.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah. Yeah, next one and be more positive.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Knots Nottingham Forest our third on the Premier League table.
I don't care if you said this in match week one.
I don't care if you said this in match after
match week ten. No one was saying that Notts would
ever be third on the on the Premier League t
I think this is great.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It was a there was a graph that showed I
think it was November last year, yeah, or when Nuno
took over Notts seventeenth. Yeah, and ten months later Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Third Chris Wood with eight and ten eight goals in
ten games. The key we best shot to goald conversion
rate in Premier League history pretty much. Yeah, it's literally
second to Earling Harland in the Premier League goals well
he has he has, so yeah, Chris Wood is better than.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He could be. A sneaky THINGBB.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Two or three behind. I think I might have to
have a look at that on but that is really surprising.
They smashed west Hands three and west Ham have been
so bad. I don't know what is going on there
not to just keep finding away.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They've got so.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Many good players, they're just playing their role really nicely.
Hudson and Door keep scoring. You've got who's got on
the our knee is pretty gone pretty well? Yeah defender Yeah,
former Chelsea's former.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Chelsea as well.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He said he was knacked. They said that, Yeah, I
was just knacking mate. I just had to.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I had to hit it as hard as I couldn't
hope for the best. And he's I was like, They're like,
did you know he's going to go top crowd. He's like, yeah,
I just hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's like hit it so not Honestly, they're my second
team at the moment.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
As long as they avoid the big defeat, they will
have their tails up for a while and I think
that that can definitely help. Where do we basically confirmed avoid?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, where do we think it's a goal for them?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Now? I know it's very it's only like not even
a third ten games in. Yeah, they still want to
be top half. But on the top half, the top.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Half I think is there's a good, good aim, it's
a good goal. Like still like you look at Newcastle,
we're in eleventh.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, they're only four points bey, but they're playing better
than obviously Fullham Brighton. I'd be backing knots against them
fourmouth as well. They're just they're just so consistent. Of
the back notes against Brighton, I wouldn't do that. I
would maybe when whenever they play, I'm gonna be my
best decent payout. Yeah, maybe another one around the grounds
menu one Chelsea one. We talked it up as the
(05:41):
biggest game, A little bit of a letdown.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It was very very big letdown, especially considering I stayed
up until.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Watching that game. Oh no, I was working at the time,
So yeah, you don't work it like midnight is just
on your sleeping schedules. Yeah, a little bit cooked, but
it was worth it with Closto equalizing. But that was
a really nice goal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice. The
other one was Tottenham for Villa one. I'm just putting
in some of the biggest results. Tottenham they're just so consistent,
(06:13):
the last smash a team at home and then when
they go away they're just crumble. Villa have just don't
look like themselves the last three or four weeks or
maybe I'd say three weeks haven't looked like themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Lost in the Champions League as well, yep against Club
Bruges this morning, so a little bit of a panic
stations maybe for them as well.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So yeah, Ange will be excited.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
They're still only seventh Tottenham, but they've got a bit
of a confidence booster there for one. Wine all right,
next one we're going to go to the best game
of the match week. Chelsea has just been featuring this
a lot, but there's just been big top. The big
six have been playing each other a lot lately, Chelsea
versus Arsenal. There was a lot of rathery in this office,
a lot of Chelsea fans, a few Arsenal fans that
(06:54):
have very up themselves. You love a bit of Chelsea
Stanford Bridge this time. But the biggest news to come
out of this game so far is that Hole Palmer
the best player in the world, one of the best
plays in the world.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We're best playing the best player in the Premier League
fifteen eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
He'd be up there in the world to be there. Yeah,
he's possibly got to miss this game. He hasn't trained
all week. He is the glue to Chelsea winning games. Yeah,
that's going to be a huge.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
At Even Alex was saying Arsenal fans Andre Martinez not
get sent off so.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Obviously, Yeah, he got injured from the Martinez Yeah, with.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Obviously the studs to the knee pulled up are so
thankfully if he is to miss it would just be
this game which is saving grace and plus is an
international break coming up, so even he might not even
play for another three weeks, might play for England that
might rest him there and then he doesn't have to play.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, true exactly, but look obviously to pig out, but
in Cunku or Felix would would be the ones to
fill that gap.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I prefer in Kunku, But I have a feeling. Is
Lace enough his little tape on his with his little balloon. Yeah,
I hope he brings it out on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, but I've got a feeling Maresca we're bringing Felix Felix. Okay,
but this is huge, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So Chelsea? Yeah, this is Arsenal. Probably need a win
here to stay in touch with the title race. I've
got written down here. Blackburn in nineteen ninety four are
the only team ever to come back from seven or
more points down for the title through ten games, So
this would be Yeah, I finally brought a stat to
way show there we go. This would be the biggest
comeback yeah four, which, yeah, it doesn't happen very often,
(08:34):
especially when you've got City, especially when you got Liverpool
absolutely firing under that Blackburn in that title race. They're
basically only versing me at Chester United.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah it was a bit easier.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, so it was a little bit easier, which
obviously makes this Arsenal comeback if they you've got.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Because yeah, you've got the little cool and City and
I just think like.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
The mid table clubs in the lower lower League are
getting better than obviously ten fifteen years ago, true even
twenty twenty years ago now.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So yeah, they have to have to get have to win,
but it's gonna be tough at Stanford Bridge. I've got
some other stats here. Arsenal have won at four of
the last five meetings. Last season US meeting was actually
an Arsenal win five Neil that was at the Emirates.
That was no Palmer as well. He didn't play the game,
so that's a bit of a worry for Chelsea fans.
And then a two old draw was the other one
at Stanford Bridge. I reckon that could be close to
(09:23):
the result we get this time. And who scored their
stat Scot I honestly can't remember the goat. Yeah yeah,
the Goatdrick Sorry yeah yeah, you love a bit of
mudick I was loving. I was like thinking, Palati Mari
(09:43):
Dona did he play that game? I wish Chelsea in
the current form, unbeaten in the last six home games
across all competitions. Started a bit shaky at home because
we I think we drew to Crystal Palace, but since
then have been really good, so they were pretty happy
with that. Arsenal winless in their last three league games,
so that's what's cost them that shot the title so far.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's a little bit worried there. Let's go goal scorers.
Who do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We can't. We can't pick co Parl once every time it. Yeah,
I want to go, mud, I want to go, I'll go,
I'll go, I'll go Jacko, Yeah, jack Jacko. Oba to
mind that I wore Jackson five? Who else could be
up there? I don't mind in Conker even if he
(10:27):
comes off the bench, because he could start just the
way that they play against us, And I reckon I'll
play a little bit of attacking as far as arsenalores go. Well,
I think Arsenal will score in this game. Yeah, I
reckon it will.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Be both probably, Yeah, Martin ully or soccer, depends which
side invertse because if Kukaia starts at left back yep
and inverts, that leaves a decent amount of space for
space for soccer.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, okay on his side, Yeah, I'd be going soccer.
So if I'm looking at it, player sculled. Yeah, we'll
be interesting to see the lineups when they come out.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Ye, and then we'll finish off the game of the
weekend with score didictions? What do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'll go one one. I was going to go to all.
I think it's going to be awesome game, one of
the games of the season. Both teams are going to
play pretty atacking because they'll want to win, so yeah,
for sure. Yeah, it should be one of the best
games to watch. Is that the best game of the weekend?
I think Liverpool and Villa play each other. Yeah, but
I was genuinely really tended to chuck that one in,
but Villa have just been really disappointing, and I reckon
Liverpool going to smash THEMS.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
This one is a lot more even.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. Sunday prime time as well.
Every good game in the Premier League in Australia is
three thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's just who's going to wake up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
On a Sunday morning at seven am to watch Liverpool Villa?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh no, not me. I'm going wrong the races. If
I'm still going after the after party.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Of the Races, I'd rather a three thirty game than
a seven am one on a Sunday on a Sunday,
just just stay awake all not Yeah, yeah, anyway, let's
get into it the best part of the show, the
back or lay bets thanks to Betfair, the only place
to back a lay bet on the EPR this season.
Let's look at it week. I don't really want to
talk about last week. Don't go back and look at
(12:03):
our tips. Oh you can look at mine. I was
I got one. I laid west Ham. Honestly, anything that
goes towards Knots is working well. Then we've had a
few ones where we've laid against Knots. Keep backing Knots
their third on.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The table last week.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
If it's a read, keep you on red yeap something
like that. Surprising Arsenal and Man City results have cost
us a few tips lately, so losing their last three
league games, Man City on the weekend losing to Bournemouth.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
There was a few tips in there last week that.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
They could have been four nil down. I think it's
genuinely there's they've been really consistent as well so well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
They have now beat Arsenal and City Barmouth. Yeah true season,
so sue you know what, they could be a cheeky
chance at.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The title path to Yes, no, I think they can
be top off for sure, but definitely not the title.
All right, we'll start off with Betfair's expert tips with
Tony Hargreaves. I'll do the first couple and then you
to the next ones. First up, he's going to back
Brentford at two dollars sixty for Brentford vers Bournemouth. We
just talked up Bournemouth, we did, but he's going Brentford.
Brentford are undefeated in the last four meetings between the two.
(13:04):
They're undefeated in five home games this season, including four wins.
A lot of those home games is where they've scored
the first goal, like really quickly. They've got a few
draws in there, so I'm almost a bit iffy on
this one compared to some other ones because a.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Draw could happen.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But Brentford at home with them Buamo and a few
other guys scoring goals, I don't mind that at two
dollars sixty, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Good with the price there.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I think Tony is leaning towards the home ground.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, they've been really good at home four with five wins.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I'm a little bit reluctant on this one just
because Brentford have considered twenty goals.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That is my attacking first too. A game. Yea and
Bournemouth are pretty solid.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, really well so, but I think yeah, Gtech Community
Stadium might pull a few strings.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yep, don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Next one is he's going to back over two and
a half goals at a dollar ninety for west Ham
versus Everton. This one is I really like this one
lot because there's just no defense between these teams. They're
fourteenth and sixteenth on the table. They play some attacking style.
Both teams are conceding over one point seven goals per game.
Tony sit the now on the head in this one.
Everton have had so many games where they've considered three
(14:09):
plus two plus you got west Ham just considered three
to knots obviously not a third, but they're both these teams.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Defense is not good. They're both going to.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Play attacking because they want to move at the table.
So over to and a half goals, Yeah, what do
you reckon? I know? I love that one like Dolan ninety. Yeah,
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Next two, what are you from? Tony T Dog is
backing both teams to score at a dollar seventy in
the Wolves Southampton game.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So a bit of a bottom table clash, yes, coming
up here. I think it actually might be twentieth first nine.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It is the bottom of the tail class.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Wolves have won the past five meetings, however, although Southampton
were in the Championship last season, ye six of the
past eight have had both teams score, so that's good
signs here yep. So look the goal difference for both
teams bad. They need a score like I actually really
like this one from Tony because you go, look, they haven't,
especially south have had hard any goals just the seven,
(15:02):
just the second in what team games? Oh, that's so bad.
But they need to come out and play attacking, and
I reckon both teams will both teams have poor defenses.
They've got to come out and try and play attacking
otherwise they've got no chance of moving at the table.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
So all in you as well. Generally very open game.
As we saw with Chelsea, Wolves saw the same with Liverpool.
Wolves can be pretty open.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
This is the biggest tip probably of the show. This
is this is the one everyone's been waiting for.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
A big game, going heavy on this one.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Chelsea Arsenal, he's laying someone who do you think he's
laying stats guy? Chelsea is laying en Bridge so I'm
going to lean towards Arsenal. He is laying Arsenal a
two dollars fifty, so he believes a Chelsea win or
drawers on the cards. I don't mind that Arsenal League
titles chances are getting tough. We mentioned that before.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Obviously, Since twenty ninety four, no team has come back
from seven this margin to win the title. Both teams
have identical records, win, draw lost points, similar goal difference
as well, similar goals scored, same goal was conceded.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I believe. I think we've considered one more. I
had a look at it before.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
They've got slightly better defense and we've got Chelsea's got
a slightly better yes, which so it's really really close,
which is funny because if you said this last year,
you would have gone no way Chelsea on the same measure.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, but he's got laying Arsenal two dollars fifty.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Bit of value. I think there's good value there. Yeah yeah,
why not? All right? You want to roll straight into
your one. You've got to improve, mate. I feel like
ahead of us to I've been gone more value.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Last week actually last week was Alex, not you anyway,
So I can get it out.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I am going value again, Okay, what I do. I'm
laying a draw, so I'm going either a Nottingham Forest
or Newcast will winning that game at three dollars fifty five.
Laying the draw.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So you don't want to draw? Don't want to draw? Okay,
I don't want to draw. Both team's previous three results
in the league in the past three weeks, I haven't
been a draw yep, for both sides, and the previous
six meeting dating back to nineteen ninety six have seen
one of these sides win. There hasn't been a draw
since nineteen ninety six before, so we wouldn't even know.
(17:10):
But yeah, the draw, So no draw. I should don't
mind that because not to have match winners. And Newcastle
they do, they just haven't they do together. They might
have a bit of pride and energy now that they
beat Arsenal, so yeah, true, true, I'll be up and
about and Chelsea in the cups. Yeah, don't mind that,
all right. I'm finding a little bit of value, not
as much view as the three dollars fifty five, but
I'm laying Crystal Palace at two dollars eighty.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
For Crystal Palace verse Fulham.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I like that pers have been so bad Fulham. They're
unbeaten in their last three away trips to sell her Spark,
so really really good signs there. They've both got sorry,
they both these teams have a lot of draws, four
draws and three draws for their teams respectively before them.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Now up to ninth, they're playing really good football.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, they're playing good for They've got Emil Smith Row
that's killing it. You've got Anthony Robinson's getting assist every
couple of games. He has been so good. I can't
believe I'm saying an American in the Premier League is
doing really wellod it's good signs. We haven't had one
in a while. Even though Americans think policy what they
what are the Americans claim Lebron James the soccer fellow.
I don't know if we've got any Americans watching the COMA.
That is just that is disrected Lebron. That is disrespectful
(18:12):
to the game of football, that is disrespected to the
Premier that's disrespectable to policy because he's a good player,
but don't compare it to the y anyway. That's a
pressure I feel like that could be a little clip anyway.
Uh yeah, I think Fulham are going to get the
job done here, but just in case, because Salo's Park
for a lot of teams isn't the easiest place to play.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So you get the draw all the full and win
at two dollars eight every No.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I love that one. I reckon that's the that's the
bet of the weekend. Perfect, that's our betfair back o
a bets. Let's have a quick break before we get
into some trivia with Olivia.

Mark because verse myself.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Let's go Olivia, what happened You've missed a couple?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Actually yeah, all right, I'm going easy this.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Week to get line trivia questions right.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So which team won the very first Premier League title? Manchester?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It was I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I would have gone Manu or someone old like Liverpool,
Everton or that makes sense though Manchester. Well, Liverpool had
one title in the Premier League era except.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
For Yeah, what am I talking about? No, definitely not Liverpool.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You know I won thirteen titles.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
There we go, Marcus all over it. I absolutely cook.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Thanks Olivia.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
We got a bit of ball knowledge, of ball knowledge,
a bit pretty easy. All right, We're going to finish
off the show quick fire tips EPL match Week eleven predictions.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'll read them out and then we'll go through them.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
First one the Powerhouse Clash of the six point the six.
It is a six. Just the match of the weekend allegation. Arguably,
it's too early to have allegation more detrimental to a
club than being in a titled ra Well, I know
you're saying, but it's only match week eleven. If it
was matchually thirty six, Southampton down. Anyways. You know, no
(20:15):
club has ever come up out of the promoter teams.
All three have never stayed safe, stayed safe at least
one of them have.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Been really never never, never never. There's always one that
gets relegated.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
There's always one. Okay, there you go, what Wolves, Southampton Wolves?
You gotta go Wolves, I think.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, I don't think they're as bad as the table suggests,
even though they've conceded a load of goals.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I think it's like twenty seven or something.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah, Southampton even worse and I'm more than you easy
Wolves up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, I reckon. I reckon as well, maybe like even
like a three and nil. Their team isn't that bad.
They've they've played a lot of the really good teams.
Next one west Ham versus Everton fourteenth verse sixteens. We're
just we're.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Slowly gone up tamely. This is rough. This is rough,
but Everton aren't that bad and west Ham shouldn't be
that bad.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, I'm so confused with this match.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
No critus as well.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I think four five games suspended for the whole Tottenham
debarkle when you went all wwe on vana n Let's
bring back to beth You know what, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
To go a draw. I love a d I'm going
west Ham. I jinxed them last season. They should be better,
so come on, west Han, do something about it. Your
team's not that bad. Brentford versus Bournemouth this is a
really tricky one. Tony's gone Brentford. Yeah, I'm going to go.
I'm actually going to go. I don't mind that. I
don't mind that I'm actually going to go. I'm back
in t Dog as you call.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Him, Brentford.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You're going to go them at GTEx Community Stadium. Next one,
Krystal Palace versus Fulham. Oh, I reckon for them. Yeah,
I'm going for them as well, leaning to ninth. They're
not that far off, like ye the higher parts of
the table. So Brighton versus man City. This is actually
a tricky one because Brighton have been really strong against
(21:53):
man City at the ax and man City have looked
so bad the last three three losses on the troll
all in different competition.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, two weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Sorry, you'd expect them to bounce back, but I'm actually
I'm actually going to go.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Another drawer here. I want to see the oh points shared.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Do I go Brighton?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah? Come on, the seagulls, come on, let's go for
such a scary mascot. Actually, the seagulls over it over there,
very scary and big. That's that's another story.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Liverpool versus aston.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Villa, easy one should be Liverpool. That's just been have been.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
There's also been a mixed bagg of results when these
things play against each other. So it wasn't that long
ago when Auston Villa beat Liverpool seven to one. Yeah
that was at Villa Park and I think they still
have Jack Realish then back then, but bring him back. Look,
I'm sorry to do it to you, but I'm gonna
go another draw.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You figure another draw, geez talking about value on bedfare.
That would be paying a lot that draw. I've got
Liverpool that will smoke them there too. Good At the moment,
Arnest a lot is working his magic. Is man United
VERSU Leicester City? This is It shouldn't be a tricky one.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
These two teams played each other recently, didn't they in
the Cup? United one for but Leicester played the C team.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, their team was horrible, I don't know what and
United were decently strong so five.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Two in the end.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But it was because unless they didn't have a good
team yet. Look, I'm still going to go. I'm still
going to go Manchester United. Yeah, man, they looked okay
on the weekend they got a new interim manager. Just
the vibes of old Trafford with rude Vander story and
the dugout. It was just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, it's a little bit nice though, sort of the
perfect storm, I think.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yep, I agree. I'm going Manu as well. Not as
far as first Newcastle. I reckon we might disagree.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm got we spoke on this one. We did not
their third Chris, what is the goats? Is the New
Zealand legend? Get around?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm going against you. Oh, I'm going to go Newcastle.
I'm going to go the opposite, even though they're away.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I just think so bad.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I just think not so Jude for a loss. I
think they've only lost one game this season and was
against Fulham. Belief Okay, yeah, so yeah, I'm going to
go Newcastle or just up after Arsenal. Yeah that was
against the cup against Chelsea, so why not?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Next one Tottenham versus if switched down the Tottenham home game.
I think it's gonna be goals in this because both
teams are going to play their football, they play attacking
football and they're both very good on the break. Yes,
I think Tottenham has scored the most goals in the
league with have they I think so?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, double check that. But that is a good one too.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I believe you are correct, that is crazy and the
seventh that's what. Yeah, but if which Nat scored a
couple of goal, I wouldn't be surprised to this is
for two. I'm going Tottenham as well. Then the big
I'm already touched on it. Chelsea versus Arsenal the draw,
So I'm happy with a drawer.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I reckon that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I reckon that would be a really good game, high scoring.
Make sure to check the lineups as well because it'll
be interesting. Cole Palmer. Rice's question pod Guard should be back,
but will you start? Rice might be back.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I didn't play well this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Is he going to start? Michael Marino might be a cancust?
You don't know, so I don't want it more. Drick,
your man might play. You better come off the bench. Yeah,
I want to see that man in action.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Nice. All right, that was our quick fire tips. I'm
calling it.
