Episode Transcript

(00:24):
Welcome to the Barside Spurs podcast andtoday, Yep, you've guessed it.
It's rich. You've been on along day today, mate. I think
you've been very, very busy.I've been away in Cornwall enjoying myself and
having a good time. I alsowent to Bristol and went to the Bloom
Festival there very very good for youto drink, which was perhaps not so

(00:48):
good, but I did enjoy myselfand I just got back yesterday myself,
so I've had a bit of abusy time of it. So there's a
few bits for us to both catchup on. But before we do,
how are you. I'm all rightmate, Yeah, yeah, I'm jealous
about the Bristol recatter. I usedto go to that years and years ago.
I had a girlfriend from Bristol andthat was my first taste of the

(01:11):
high life that I've not thought aboutthat for some years. It's a good
too. Yeah. We saved abit of money because my nephew is at
Bristol UNI, so he's got anapartment there and we stayed there for a
bit and that meant that we couldsave the money in the hotel but spend
it on booze. And other thingsthat we were doing going out from meals

(01:32):
because it's not cheap in Bristol,is it not anymore? No, But
it's good fun. I actually reallyenjoyed it. So then we, as
I say, we went down toCornwall basically just sort of went out and
about and had a few meals andjust saw my sister who lives down in
Cornwall. So it's lovely to godown there and see. It's all very

(01:53):
much different timers and as they say, they do everything directly down there.
Yeah. Yeah, everything's a littlebit more, a little bit more relaxed,
and a little bit more appropriate.I reckon one of these days I'll
go and I won't come back.Yeah, I love it. I bought
back myself back some scrumpy and someCornish lagers of course. Anyway, So

(02:21):
no, I think I think weshould probably get on too, because we
haven't had a chance to deal withthis one. So we'll don't know how
long this will take us. Maybesure, maybe long, we'll see,
but we'll look at the topic ofHarry Kane now the dust settled, have
you any thoughts on Harry Kane's departure. I think it's going to take an

(02:45):
awfully long time for the reality ofit to set in properly. You know,
I I thought he was going togo, and I thought he was
going to go, and I thoughthe was going to go, and then
I got the sneaky feeling that hewasn't. And then of course when it
actually finally did happen, it allhappened, you know, quite quickly.

(03:07):
These things tend to do when theyfinally come out, and and so,
you know, it was a bitof a done deal while I wasn't looking.
And of course, you know,I'm not on Twitter anymore, so
I don't you know, X orwhatever it's called now, So so I
don't see the moment by moment,you know, trauma of the whole thing,
like everybody else does now. Andso it was kind of one of

(03:30):
them things that you know, Isaw it when it was a news item
and I went, oh, fuckinghell, he's he's actually gone. Then,
that close to the start of theseason. It surprised me a little
bit, but you know, Ithink and let the cut out of the
bag a little bit. In hispress conference, didn't He said, like
we've been expecting it. It wasalways going to happen, So you know,

(03:53):
obviously wasn't a surprise to them,And then I latterly caught up with
all the fucking weird conspiracy, youknow, Leavy counseling, his playing and
all this fucking nonsense that people weretalking about. You know, I just
I don't think it's going to sinkin for a long time. I've seen

(04:15):
quite a few tweets on the internetabout Cane going and it's not affecting them
anymore and basically writing him off andunfollowing him and all these kind of things.
And I think there's probably partly todo with, you know, how
fans are trying to process the wholething. But I suspect, like you
mentioned a little while ago, thatit will catch up with people, and

(04:38):
I think it is going to besomething that's going to take a bit of
time to get over and sinking becausehe's such a massive icon at our club,
such a legend, such a loveplayer, and I know I've heard
a few people speak about the factthat they thought that he's the sort of
player that they perhaps or quite warmtoo in the way of some other players.

(05:01):
But whether he's a warm character ornot, I don't really think that
matters I think he's such a hugefigure at the club that it will just
take a bit of time to getused to him not being part of the
furniture anymore. It's it's a it'sa big gap. And I don't think

(05:21):
that means we can't cope. Ijust think it means there's a big kind
of void that needs to be filledwith something else in terms of our you
know, feeling about having someone elsethat we can kind of attribute those kind
of that almost that sort of statustoo. Perhaps. Yeah, I mean,

(05:44):
you know, there's been a lotof talk for many years about him
being a generational player, and youknow, the first time that we've had
a striker like this since Grieves orLineker, and you know, and I
think there's part of it that isso big that it's really really difficult to
comprehend how big a gap he's laterhe's left at the club, certainly at

(06:08):
this short period of time. Imean, my thought process of it is
probably informed a lot by the factthat I think he's he obviously wanted to
go last year and I don't thinkhe wanted to be here at all the
last season. And I wonder ifthere's a little bit of the last season

(06:29):
that was him trying to I don'tknow, repair some of his legacy because
there was a lot of you know, anti Kaine sentiment last summer with the
gap level interview and the Manchester Citything, and I wonder whether or not
him actually staying that year was partlybecause City didn't offer enough money, but
also partly because you know, hereally did burn an awful lot of bridges

(06:53):
and I, for one, neverreally got over the idea that he's decided
he wants out of the club.And really my thinking that he wasn't going
to go this summer was based onthe fact that it seemed to be a
deal breaking down rather than any desirefor him to remain. And so I
guess I I you know, ifI'm being sort of self congratulatory about it,

(07:14):
I'd say that I've been preparing forthis for a bit longer than some
people. You know, we sawit all with Gareth Bale. You know,
this whole idea that you know,and it was the same stuff that
came up. Well, you know, Gareth Bale's in the Spurs kit on
the new FIFA, Gareth Bale's doingthe photo shoots. They won't sell him
now because he's in all of thisstuff, you know, and remember thinking

(07:36):
back in twenty thirteen or whatever itwas, that it was all fatuous nonsense
and they do what they wanted todo regardless of all of that. And
so I never let it kid methat he was going to stay. I
just there was a bit of methat thought, it's got too late in
the summer, too close to thestart of the season for him to happen
for it to happen. But youknow, then it when it did happen,

(07:59):
I guess the shop was a littlebit I don't know, it's sort
of equated to something that wasn't footballrelated, you know. It's a little
bit like I'm not going to besort of melodramatic and say it was like
the death of a friend or something, but it was like losing somebody out
of your life, the character,whether it was somebody that you work with
or it felt a little bit likeleaving school, do you know what I

(08:22):
mean. That was like, youknow, you know when you get to
the end of the summer term,when you think like I might not see
these people again, and suddenly afterwardsyou think, shit, I've gone.
Yeah, that's probably one of thereasons why I thought maybe he would stay,
because when it comes to crunch,I mean like I've just left my
whole professions of teaching, and everyonekept saying to me, are you really

(08:43):
doing it? Are you really going? And I'm like, yeah, I
am. And but in the lastweeks I was looking around everywhere. And
this sounds really soppy and silly,but I was looking around my environment and
thinking, this is the last timeI'm going to do this, and there
were be a last day that Iactually turn up here, put this suit

(09:03):
on, go in do that.And as melodramatic as that sounds, that's
been a long time in my life, like twenty three years of my life
doing that in the in the sameplace, and it meant a lot to
me. And to make that change, I don't you know, a lot
of people in my environment couldn't believeit. Part of me probably couldn't believe

(09:24):
it. And I can sort ofsee what you're saying about Caine. You
know, he's been at the clubfor a long long time. Felt part
like, you know, you thinkof Spurs, you think of Harry Kane,
and so that wrench is is significant. I think, like I like
what Anne said about the fact thatwe have to just allow fans to grieve
in their own way. And Ithink the grieve is the right word because

(09:48):
there's lots of stages of that andsometimes it's anger, and sometimes it's acceptance,
sometimes it's denial, you know,all those things I think will come
into it. And you know,it's of course it's not the same as
actually losing someone you love, butit's but it's something I think that you
know, it is to do withthe club that we love and a large

(10:11):
person, you know, a personthat's a figurehead of that. And there
have been some people who said,is Kine has big if not bigger than
the club. Well, probably not, but he is going to rank highly
in the pantheon of the all timegreats of our club. We were lucky
to see him, but it doesn'tmean that it shouldn't hurt for him to

(10:35):
go either. And you know,and I don't know how he feels about
it. I suspect I think thatgoodbye video that he made, maybe I'm
reading too much into it, butI thought it there was emotion or you
know, you could see the emotionin his eyes. I thought when he
was saying, you know, thisisn't good bye. You never know how

(10:56):
things will turn out. I thinkhe's loved for the club is such that
I do feel that one day we'llbe back. Yeah. It's an interesting
thing, isn't it. I guessmy skepticism about all that is, you
know, born of We all thoughtPachetino would be back, and we all
thought, you know, when Baalecame back, that he would stay.
And you know, and I know, Harry Kane's different from both of them

(11:18):
because he is, you know,he is Tottenham and the other two were
just professionals that happened to be atTottenham for a time. But I don't
know. I wonder whether or notthe club moves on without him. You
know, there's an interesting discourse thatgoes around about have we been too reliant

(11:39):
on him to our own detriment inthe last few years? You know,
I mean, he's been so goodthat he's papered over an awful lot of
cracks with his goals and with hiswork, and without him, the rebuild,
the painful rebuild, whatever you wantto call it, would have had
to have been an awfully lot morefurther along in its own development than it

(12:01):
is at the moment without Harry Kane. You know, I don't know if
he will be back. I mean, he's thirty years old getting on now,
and you know, I know he'sgot I've always said he's got the
intelligence and he's got the talent tobecoming like a Teddy sharing on player that
he'll just drop back into you know, deeper into into the the middle of

(12:24):
the park and and do a differentjob as his legs go. I can
see it happening, you know,there's all you know, there's been words
spilled about you know that too,call having that idea that that's what he's
going to do with him in thefuture anyway, But I wonder whether or
not the club moves on and youknow, and it's the same, isn't
it, you know, do theycome back? The idea that he comes

(12:45):
back kind of suggests that we're goingto exist in some sort of stasis without
him, and I don't like thinkinglike that. No, no, actually
that's a very good point. Onthe other side, I'm absolutely delighted that
he didn't win the Super Cup andhe's first. Yeah, yeah, so
and so so. Football discourse onon Blue Sky hasn't really got going yet,

(13:07):
which is you know, for thosethat don't know, is that the
alternative to Twitter that I've moved overto. But the one thing that I
did see an awful lot of onSaturday was Arsenal Funds on there saying it's
going to be delicious. You know, we're going to laugh our asses off
when when Caine wins the wins thiscup tonight, ha ha ha ha.
And there's a bit of me thatjust thought, fuck all of you,

(13:28):
you know, yeah, yeah,Now I was happy. I mean,
I know it's a bit churlish,but at the time I was thinking,
yes, go on, Leipsig,go on, Leipsig. I mean,
just to be honest, it's notthat I wish him, you know,
the worst of luck out there,and you know, and and and not
to win anything, you know.Case Ah, he's moved on now and

(13:50):
you know he deserves whatever he gets. But the the sort of the fallout,
if you like, of him winningthe first game he ever played for
them straight away winning the Cup wouldhave been yeah, it would have been
too much to beer, I thinkso. Yeah. But in a strange

(14:11):
way, do you think Kane's exitbenefits and in any way at all?
Rich it depends whether or not theymanaged to get somebody into back rich Alison,
And isn't it you know, Imean, there are apparently of people
out there that school goals. Youknow, we're going to miss him.
We've bought and we've done some reallyreally good business in recruiting James Madison,

(14:35):
because I think the thing that hadthey have not filled that position that was
the most effective part of Kane's gamefor the last two years at the club
was that he dropped in in theabsence of Christian Erickson and linked the front
on the midfield really really effectively.And I think had they not have recruited
James Madison, who I've always hated, and I think that's a great sign,

(14:56):
you know, I've always fucking despisedhim, and now he's ours.
I love him and I think he'sa really really good bit of business without
a massively overhyped price tag to weighhim down. And I think if they
can just get somebody in now torelieve the pressure so that we can start
just knocking up a few goals,then I think it might work in Angie's

(15:22):
favor because it relieves a bit ofpressure from him. It means that he
can move forward in a team withoutconsistently having his star player sold out from
underneath him. You know, thenext high profile player that we've got at
the club his son, and he'salready committed to the club and he's been
made captain for it, and Ithink if they can just provided we don't

(15:45):
get a drought in front of goal, I think it'll be all right.
You know, there was this narrativegoing around, wasn't there, that that
perhaps Harry Kane didn't quite fit Andrew'ssystem anyway? Did you buy that?
I think Harry Kane will play inany system you put him in. To
be honest, I don't really buythat in particular. Particularly, I do
think that from what we've seen ofAngel already, and from what we know

(16:07):
about him setting up to be,you know, progressive and attacking and moving
the ball quickly and so on,I think as he's as he aged,
I think he might have struggled tocarry on in the role that he was
in. But you know, aswe'll come to when we talk about the
game, there were so many facetsto Harry Kane's game that are really important
for the whole functioning of the teamthat I think he would have he would

(16:30):
have benefited that side. I mean, I'm not fucking delusional enough to think
that that will be better without him. Now. So does it change the
mood around the club because I sortof notice, well perhaps even in our
conversations on WhatsApp, but also sometimeswhen you look at the socials, there
seems to be still quite a splitbetween you know, basically it's all going

(16:53):
to helen a handcart and or it'sor actually, this is all going to
be absolutely amazing mood around the clubbetter or I mean, you know,
I won't be able to gauge thatreally until I until I get back to
what lane, you know, nextmonth, because like I say, I

(17:14):
don't I don't do Twitter anymore andI haven't been on Facebook for years,
so I can't really gauge the internetmood. I mean, I know we've
spoken on this pod several times aboutabout it, and my opinion is always,
you know, you do get thisdichotomous response. It's the nature of
Internet discourse. You know that youget these extremes developing in people's opinions and

(17:37):
attitudes, and I don't think theyreally reflect the ground swell of opinion on
either side of the camp. Ido think I think we're going to have
a really good, fun season.I think we're going to spend a lot
of the season going God if onlycame was here as well. I don't
think it's going to be a lotof that, isn't there. I mean
I've already heard that on Match ofthe Day the other day, where you

(18:00):
know, a couple of chances didn'tgo in and the pundits, you know
that easy lazy journalism. Kane wouldhave scored that. I would have scored
that. Yeah, yeah, butyou know, you know, look,
if my uncle had titsy'd be meon you know, fucking what is it
what these idiots think from me?Aren't the bollocks? You'ld be my uncle

(18:22):
exactly exactly. But no, Iknow. And someone reported the other day
that the Brentford away game, talkingabout the mood again, that some fans
were starting to sing, you know, Harry Kane, you sold one of
our own. But it died outquite quickly, and I don't think that
people were in the mood for it. I think they were more in the
mood for watching this progressive, aggressiveattacking style of football that we've been hankering

(18:48):
for m Yeah, I mean,there's going to be a bit of it,
you know. And the other thingthat I know is listening to the
commentary on Sunday, was that therewas an awful lot from the Brentford fans
that you know he left because youship he left Becaueorge, We're going to
be listening together. Yeah yeah,and you know what, fuck it?
Who cares we do it to them? Like it? But it's like I

(19:11):
said to I've been working with aChelsea fan today and you know he's he's
he's one of the more rational ofthat breed. You know, he can
read and write and spell his ownname and all sorts. Like he really
isn't except yeah, yeah, he'san exception in that in that crowd.
And you know, we were wewere sort of talking about it and about

(19:32):
the whole you know, the wholething, and like, like the point
he made was that, in fact, he was referring to the Martin Samuel
thing that I know we shared afew days ago. You know that he
said, what do you think ofthis? That none of this would have

(19:56):
happened without Harry Kane, And whenI initially read that, I was quite
Yeah, you know, he makesa lot of points. I can't disagree
with it, but I've had alot of times from all over it and
I was talking to learn us aboutit today and I said, I think
it's bollocks actually looking back on it. Like the club, the club has
existed for one hundred and thirty somethingyears before we had our Riy Kane,
and it will exist for decades afterour R Kane. He's not the fact

(20:18):
that he's gone ain't going to stopus being Tottenham. It didn't win when
it didn't win, Klinsman, whenit didn't Winlinical, when it didn't win
Grieves when you know, like,yes, I'm not saying that all of
those things happened without a hiccup.But you know, we move on,
don't they. Yeah, it's interestingactually now from the twenty nineteen side that

(20:40):
we played in the Champions League Final, only one of those players as is
still around. So this rebuild iswell and truly underway. And when with
that in mind, you know,it should mean two things. One that
you know, there shouldn't be thatkind of legacy of what people have been
having to go at us about interms of the time a club that we

(21:00):
are a lot of these players nowshould be able to adapt quickly to Postakoglu's
style because they haven't got that baggagethat you know they've got. They're quite
young. It's quite a young squad. Actually, jump, you're gonna jump
on this one. What would yousay is more important now? The outgoings

(21:21):
or the incomings? I'll be know, the outgoings. They've got to finish
getting rid of players that have beenaround for too long, haven't they.
You know, I mean we needto trim that squad down. We've got
you know, I mean Geo Lacelsowas on the bench on Saturday. On
Sunday, you know, what thefuck is he still doing at our football
club? You know, there's beenthis whole thing with Eric Dyer in the

(21:42):
last few days that he deleted allof the stuff off his social media and
then put it all back on again. He didn't even make the bench at
the weekend. And actually, I'myou know, I'm I'm quite there's a
bit of me that that you know, wants to sort of this this thing
with dire as well, because asalthough he's not the player of the ability

(22:04):
or the stance or the importance ofArry Kane or many others in that side,
in that peat Potch side that Butyou know we all used to sing
his name, you know, Ilove very dial dialogs me. You know
what a sad art that went through. You know that that anytime he does
anything on social media he gets thebarrage of abuse. And I'm not saying

(22:26):
he hasn't heard in some bad performances, and I'm not saying his form hasn't
dropped off, But what a terribleway for it to all end, you
know, because there was an integralpart in that side when they were all
young. Yeah. I mean alsoit's horses for courses, isn't it when
you think about last year? Howyou know, I still probably think that
Sanchez should move on. But sincepasta Coggler's come in, he's fitted much

(22:51):
better. He looks like a playeragain, and Da looks like a cart
horse, but under a different systemlike we saw with Sanchez, dialogs better
in under the other two managers,and Sanchez looked way out of his depth,
yeah, because the system didn't suithim. Now it seems to be
the opposite way around, and soit probably may be a salitary lesson there
for us all rather than just pilingon somebody who genuinely does have an affection

(23:15):
for our club, just you know, all this just get out of my
clubs type stuff. As as asas we want to do, I think
we should perhaps be a bit moremindful of the fact that he's not a
crap player. He probably just doesn'tsuit the system, and maybe that a
move might be the right thing.Rumors he wants to stick around and you

(23:38):
know, see out his contract.I wouldn't be opposed to that. I
don't know. I mean, withoutEuropean football, there's going to be enough
pressure on the on the eleven,isn't there. I mean, is he
really going to get chance to doanything? I mean, I think you're
right about Sanchez, you know,although he is much improved, I think

(24:00):
now is the time to sell him. You know, if you're a really
unreliable car, the time you putit in the paper is when it works.
Yeah. I had a car likethat once and I started it up
and then it rolled into the garage. Then I turned it off, getting
the keys and handed it over.It's almost a bit like that, isn't
it really? So Yeah? Ithink I think, you know, because

(24:21):
somebody might look at the last fewgames and going oh, yeah, there's
a player there. Yeah, we'lllove that, you know, and I
think that'd be a really good thingfor everybody involved. Yeah, should get
on with the analysis of the gamenow. So Brentford a first game of
the season away at Brentford two two. I think we probably would have taken
that before. But interestingly, twodefenders scored Romero and Emerson. What do

(24:49):
you make about how they played almostin midfield. I I really like the
look of it, you know.I mean, as we said before,
you know, I didn't watch anyof the preseason games, and I've you
know, I've seen a lot ofthe conversation that's come from people watching the
preseason matches. Oh, you know, we look shaky in defense. We're

(25:11):
going to league a lot of goals, you know, and obviously we let
two in at the weekend, althoughthey were pretty soft goals, you know.
The first one was the own goalwas was was a wicked deflection.
Really, I mean, any otherday the keepers got that if you hadn't
stuck his bloody foot out, itwouldn't have been a goal. And so,
you know, although we are goingto ship goals, I wasn't I

(25:32):
was surprised. I actually thought welooked pretty good. You know, even
we've remembered having to go off andbe replaced with Sanchez and Brentford. Is
you know, they're a team thatwill will, that will punish you if
you give them space. They werewaste, but they were about you first
game of the season. But Isuspect they'll take a few big scalps the
season at home and they're pretty formidable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,

(25:53):
I mean there are. They're they'rea good hungry side. You know,
they're turning their players over, they'vegotten they got new players in.
You know, you know, it'snot uneasy. It's not a GIMMI is
it. You know. And Iand I think sort of overall, you
know, for huge parts of thatof for that much, we we really

(26:15):
held them off really well. Imean they did the tactical work really well.
I mean, they knew how wewere going to play. They you
know, they packed that area inthe in the final third when we were
attacking. Meant we stifled a lotof our creativity. We with our particularly
with our fallbacks cutting in. Itwas the space was very very congested and
then you know played on the counterand did they did it well, but

(26:41):
like you said that, you know, there their two goals were fairly fortunate,
so it could have been better forus, but I think, you
know, we'll probably take that one. Yeah, yeah, I mean I
wasn't displeased with it at all.I was more happy. I just enjoyed
watching it. Yeah, you know, it was an nice It was a
nice game of football to open theseason with. Yeah, it would have

(27:03):
been nice to have come away withthree points, and I think we,
you know, on the balance ofplay, we wouldn't have been lucky to
have done that. I think,you know, it would have been you
know, deserved Hadwiel won it.But but I think we'd have been very
unlucky and they have snatched it,you know. I mean Vyr did its
whole whole thing about fucking the gameup for everybody two or three times during

(27:26):
the match, and it worked forus once and against us once and you
know all that. But I thinkgenerally, I think we we we It
was a really nice test, Ithink. Yeah, I mean, and
that did surprise me when when whenI saw Emerson and and a doggie actually
but really cutting in it was underlapping. Weren't they and they came into midfield

(27:51):
quite a bit and packed that outand that they actually the goal that Emerson
scored was really from a midfield position, So that was that was an interesting
sort of tactical, unexpected tactical employthat I you know, I hadn't hadn't
seen the last games anyway, sobut yeah, it's good. Yeah,
I mean, I think the interestingthing about that is, you know,
I mean it was noted in thecommentary as well that Emerson was playing largely

(28:15):
as a midfielder, and you know, it's like you say about Sanchez looking
more comfortable in this system, EmersonRoyale looks far more comfortable than he did
to play as a as a dysfunctionalwingback. And and critically, our major
issue last year that cost us morethan anything else was that teams were just

(28:37):
marching through our central midfield and theydidn't really do that, you know,
and I think you know that's probablyyou know, the thinking behind it is
to is to stop this like youknow, corridor through the middle of spurs
that we that we've had for thelast twelve months. I think Basuma played
incredible, you know, I think, you know what, fantastic to see

(28:59):
him really he's set in like,oh that's the player we bought, you
know, he's a player transformed.Yeah, absolutely absolute. So Romero scored,
but he also took a couple ofknocks actually one jew in that I
think wasn't it, and one precedingthat, and then and very promptly took

(29:21):
him off. And at that pointI was thinking, oh, no,
you know, and of course thenSanchez, come on, we've just sort
of talked about him dealing with that. Well, but what are your thoughts
on one just making that substitution Romeroso quickly. I think it was I
think it was really positive. Imean it was obviously you know, he'd
had back clash of heads in ourbox shortly before the goal, and then

(29:44):
the headed goal that he scored.Whether or not they all saw something,
I mean I didn't see it duringthe celebrations or in the replays, but
he must have had some reaction toheading that goal. You know, head
injuries and concussion and all these thingsare a big topic in football today and
rightly so I think it was reallyreally positive of him to hook him straight

(30:04):
away, because you know, you'vegot to look after the players in that
respect. I mean, we know, you know how how sort of pernicious
and untreated or an unrecognized concussion industryinjury can be. You know, it
destroyed young ver Tongan's last season atTottenham because it wasn't dealt with when he
picked up, you know, hewas made to play on with concussion and

(30:25):
the after effects were massive, andso I think it was a really positive
move. It was slightly strange becausethis new rule isn't there now that if
they come off with a head injury, it doesn't count as one of your
subs, but the opposition also getan extra sub as a result. But
Pasta Cooglu chose not to remove himas a concussion sub, so it or

(30:48):
at least that's what I understood fromthe commentary at the time, so that
it limited, you know, itused at one of his proper subs,
I think. I think subsequently PastaCooglu said that what happened was we filled
out the wrong form. Oh really, yeah, yeah, bureaucracy, So
yeah, that was a bit silly. I think he sounds a bit miffed

(31:11):
on that front. But even sothat, you know, there should be
enough leeway into see for them tounderstand that clearly this was a concussion sub
Yeah, well there you are.I had heard that, but yeah,
that'd be about fucking right for thefa. Oh no, you haven't submitted
that in triplica. So one onepositive and one negative from that half of

(31:32):
ange ball, then positive resilient,I thought, so that's two positives.
So yeah, the negative, Ohfucking letting the goalkeeper leave his area?
What's he doing? Letting the goalkeeperleave his area? I thought we'd left

(31:55):
this behind when Hugo Lay started toget a bit older. Yeah, I'd
say positive. I just the theattacking style was such a refreshing change,
just to see us with eight youknow, overall, I think we had
something like seventy five percent possession,didn't we So that was just chalk and
cheese what we used to And thenegative at the moment, I'm just I

(32:17):
think he will get a lot better. But he looked very edgy and nervous,
Vicario, and every time he wentnear the ball, the crowd were
just like that all the time,really trying to put him off his game,
and I think it did affect hima few times. Yeah. Yeah,
it's to be understood, though,isn't it. You know, I

(32:38):
mean it's, you know, hisfirst time in the Premier League and Brentford
is not a place where they weregoing to sit back and not put him
under any pressure. Ye. Soyeah, he's all right. I mean,
it was said to me the dayafterwards, all the shades of Holio
Gomez in him. Yeah, that'ssort of flappy a bit. Yeah,

(33:00):
I suppose. So when when we'reone up Romero's goal, Lineka tweet it
Spurs are going to win the league. Yeah, but Lineker's a fucking tweat,
so let's not talk about I've reallygot off. Yeah, yeah he's
And then then they scored an equalizerand then his next tweet was or maybe
not Yeah, Yeah, he's ahe's a bit flip floppy. So thoughts

(33:23):
on the second half, any standout players overall? Perhaps, I mean,
I just again, I mean,I know it's an obvious thing to
say because he won Man of theMatch, but I think Pursumer was just
incredible. Really. The one thingthat really stuck out for me. I
spent an awful lot of time watchingRicharlison in the box in that second half.

(33:45):
Now we know he's strong and quick, and we know he likes to
run onto a moving ball. Andso when we were starting to play balls
in a really or from greater distancesagainst the static back five with him in
the middle of it, I thinkhe was really shown up to be immobile.
And I'm going to do the lazypunditory thing now and say the one

(34:07):
thing that you say about Harry Kanewas he used to move both center arms
all over the area and create loadsof space everywhere, and he went there
was two people stood by him,and he would pull him out of shape.
And it was one of the bestthings to watch was to just watch
him work in These fucking defenders aroundThey didn't never know where he was.
They were always looking at each otherto see you'd got him all Richarlison does.

(34:30):
All he was doing on Sunday inthat second half especially, was standing
off the shoulder of the man infront of him to make sure he wasn't
offside. And he was static,which meant that all five of those players
could get set in that backline aswe were coming to them and nullify the
ball coming in. You were essentiallyplaying a a high ball into the box

(34:51):
into a defender and out of him. Do you think I think they're going
to have to, I think ifhe's going to play in this center forward
role, and I know he's gotthe talent and he's got the ability,
and you know, we haven't spentsixty million quid on him because he's an
up and coming guy. You know, it's because he's a you know,
he's an international footballer, you know, And I can't imagine that they won't

(35:19):
be identifying that already. I thinkthat it's vital that they do something about
it quickly because it's affecting Son's abilityto move in the box as well.
Yeah, now, good point.And also just thinking about I think I
remember you you sending a message tothe group actually about the team overall,

(35:40):
just looking a bit flat footed.That was that you. I can't remember
now, I don't know. Imean, it's not something that I remember
noticing. I mean, I thinkthey got Leggie quite quite early. Yeah
yeah, yeah, And I wonderif that's a factor of it being so
early in the scene season. Butthen, you know, as as as

(36:01):
I've read over the summer Postocog whoalways ends up using a lot of subs
because he wears his players out.So I mean it would be nice if
that's what's going to happen, youknow, not wearing the players out,
but turning fresh legs onto the pitch, because another thing we've been increasingly frustrated
in in the last two years.He's sat there thinking, when is this
motherfucking going to change this? Youknow? Yeah, yeah, those substitutions

(36:22):
were very positive substitutions, weren't Theyweren't defensive, they were aggressive substitutions.
I'd like to see that, yeahfor me, Actually, you know,
I couldn't disagree about Basuma clearly wasman of the match. But also it
was just so great to see Madison. A couple of things here. One

(36:43):
Madison before the game and after thegame talking about just standing out to be
counted, in other words, happyto take on the number ten shirt,
understands now that he's going to playthis big role in the team, happy
to do it, happy to youknow, to be brave about that,
looking forward to that challenge. AndI think we saw that. I think
in the game he was aggressive,he was brave that the cross, the

(37:09):
free kick he put in for Ramemroto score was just pinpoint. So much
that he did I'm so excited aboutI think, you know, when you
think about it when when we getBenton Kerr back, that's going to be
some midfield. Yeah. Yeah.Oddly enough, this Chelsea Fannel was talking
to today said exactly that. Hesaid, you know when because he said

(37:30):
to me, he said, youknow, you know what, what's the
deal with Benson Kerr? And Isaid, well, the last thing I
saw from the club is that he'straining again, now, you know,
I mean these injuries can take awhole year even after he gets match fit,
to really get over. But potentially, yeah, you know that midfield
with those three in it, becauseI mean Basuma is showing the player that

(37:53):
we've bought. We all know whatBenson Kirk can do, you know,
I mean he is he's taking onthat mantle of of what we used to
call dim Belli when he played forus, which was that he's a Rolls
Royce of a footballer. And I'mmassively excited. But I totally agree about
Madison. I think he has gothe's got the personality to take on that,

(38:15):
isn't he Yeah, that's that's theword I think I was looking for.
Yeah, he definitely has character,resilience, personality, he's got the
he's got the lot isn't. He'svery he's very assured in himself. Yeah,
he's come to London to be Billybig bollocks and we've just given him
the place to do it. Yeah, go for it, man. Yeah.
Yeah. On the flip side,I think we do need Ben to

(38:36):
cud come back sooner rather than later, because you know, if I'm going
to be negative about I think hefaded big time in the second half.
But I don't think Skip was thatgreat. I think it was largely anonymous.
For me. He feels like he'sgoing to be a player that will
be great to have around the squad, but probably ultimately not a first team

(38:58):
player. Well yeah, I meanI think it's it's very positive that he's
getting in ahead of Hillyberg, evenif I don't even know if he was
still at the fucking club, becauseevery time I see it's something about him
going to Athletico Madrid and you know, thanks for the memories, off you
go. I think it's good thathe's playing ahead of him because I think
he's a far better player than thanHullyberg. You know, I did think

(39:22):
he was caught out a bit,you know, he got an early yellow
card. I think Skip and Ithink that really affected him. I think
he was off the pace a littlebit. I wanted I know they're not
like for like players, but Iwould have liked to have seen him come
off earlier for Star because I thinkit will be a much more important player.

(39:42):
So our captain divided opinion. Wheremost people thought he had a poor
game, I think I was oneof the only ones that thought he was
played alright, and you know,had had a fairly decent game. But
all your thoughts on Son overall,and he's I think, you know,
I think I think, well twothings. The first thing I think is,

(40:05):
you know, we've had a Pachettinoswear jar. I think we're going
to have a Harry Kane swear jaras well. Aren't because I want to
mention him again, But I thinkSon is going to have to play a
very different game without Harry Kane inthe team because Son runs onto things.
I mean. The thing is Sonwas perfect for Jose Amarinho and he was

(40:29):
pretty well suited to Conte as well, because they both played on break and
he likes to run onto a movingball into space and beat a man and
be on goal. Now he's playingin a whole team that is far further
forward. There's far less space forhim to move. He's not running onto
balls that are being played in frontof him. You know, there are
more defenders around him, and hehasn't got Harry Kane moving all those defenders

(40:52):
around making space for him anymore.And unless unless Richarlison's game starts to adapt
quite quickly to make that space,Son's game is going to have to adapt
in order to take that into account. And I think that's what was wrong
on Sunday. I don't think heplayed a bad game. I just think
he just he's playing in a sidethat because you know, the other nine

(41:13):
outfield players are not in our ownhalf all the time, he hasn't got
all that room to work in anymore. And also I think he played quite
you know, far out on thewing, almost touching the you know,
the chalk line, and they justsmothered him in those positions quite a bit,
and so it was he had morework to do to be able to
cut in. Perhaps the shot ongoal we should have finished that was one

(41:36):
that he would maybe have finished inhis in his when he's most confident.
But it was a difficult, adifficult angle yeah. Yeah, and it's
the first game of the season,you know, you know, a lot
of pounding the square jar again,you know where let's not forget that for
all these last you know, thethick end of the last decade, Ry
Kane never used to start score untilSeptember. No, and also don't forget

(41:58):
that those two of them were themost prolific in Premier League history. So
to break that partnership up, he'sgoing to have an impact. Yeah yeah,
I mean, you know, youmight start to like and Son now
to be in sort of post berbertovKeen after he came back. He's got
to be effective, but he willnever be the same because he's like,
say, you know, his foilhas gone. Yep, okay, so

(42:21):
let's look ahead. So now Kane'sgone, have you changed your opinion on
what we will achieve the season andwhere we might finish. Do you want
to sort of readjust your opinion oryour prediction? No, I mean we
had Arry Kane last year and we'vefinished eight, so you know, I
think I think top six is wellwithin reach for us. You know,

(42:45):
I think you know, there's aninterest. It's going to be an interesting
it's an interesting league every year,you know, I mean, will Itch,
you've gone out and recruited, wellthough that obviously actually incidentally, did
you see the thing about David Rayer'stat too? Yes, perfect, It's

(43:06):
not going to like that, isit. Yeah. I think they won
two new and the tattoo was tocelebrate that win, wasn't it. Yeah?
Yeah, But yeah, so they'veyou know, they've been recruiting and
you know, obviously everybody else isdoing what we're doing as well and turning
players over. It's interesting to see, you know, what Newcastle did to
Uston Villa the other day, whichwhich you know, Villa have been widely

(43:31):
tipped to be challenging for the topsix, you know, and so I
think there's going to be some spaceopen up around that, you know league.
And I don't see any reason whywe can't be in it. Well,
every year one of those sort oftop six or seven has an absolute
stinker. Last year was US inChelsea. Someone else's turned this year.
And if it goes down to fifth, you know, there are those sort

(43:53):
of seven clubs which include US.I mean, you know, if it
clicks, we do get another coupleof buyers in then you know, I
think fifth or six is because Ioriginally I said I think I fancy us
for fifth for that Champions League spotoutside chance. Now Caine's gone, but
fifth or six with you know that, I think six would even represent a

(44:15):
good season. And if we hadlike we were saying last time, I
had a right good Craig, Ido actually really fancy us to win a
Cup this season. I don't carewhich one or the two, of course,
I just I think we might doit well. There are two things,
isn't there that play into that Ithink are important here. The first
one is that you know, themanager is going to prioritize some sort of

(44:37):
you know, quantifiable success. Youknow, we had Poctino came in and
said, the only thing that mattersis the league. You know. We
had Joe's Amy Ronho that came inand said, the only thing that matters
is how much money you're paying me. We had Antonio Conte come in and
said, the only thing that mattersis me. We had no Spirio Santo
came in and said the only thingthat matters is where do up the car

(45:00):
or something? You know. Andso he's gonna he's come in now and
he's saying what matters is success andwhat matters is progression. It's no fucking
way he's going to look down onthem domestic cups, especially when we haven't
got any European football, and Ithink we're too good for them, So
why not? Why not? Youknow? And the other side of it,

(45:22):
the other thing is that there isa narrative arc that Harry Kane has
left. It's almost inevitable that we'llpick up some sort of silverware now he's
gone. Yeah, you know,he's ruining the stars. Yeah, yeah,
you know, I mean why not. I mean, I'm not here
to be pessimistic. I leave thatfor all the UKIT colors on Twitter.

(45:44):
Yeah, okay, right, Sowho will be the standard player of the
season. I think James Madison.I'm quite excited about Van Deven you know,
yes, yeah, I mean alot of people actually has quietly been
talking about him. You know,a few people from the Dutch leagues have

(46:09):
been saying, look, you shouldlook out for this guy. He's right
up there with some of the bestdefenders. He's right in the school of
the christ school of thinking. He'sas good as for Tongan, if you
know, and and and a lotof those top top defenders. I think
he'll he could, he could bea little yeah, you know, I

(46:31):
really find I think, yeah,I think so. I mean, he
showed some good signs on Sunday,considering that, you know, he only
arrived at the club what you know, how long before, you know,
and he was pretty much throwing straightin. I think he I think he
played pretty well. You know,he's regardless of that, but especially considering
that, and I think he's aninteresting player. He seems to have got

(46:52):
all of the attributes. He's mobile, you know, I mean, Katie
Romero is crying out for having aproper defender next to him. So if
they can develop a decent pairing inthat black line, I think he's probably
got the potential to be a reallyreally important player for us. Yeah,
and he's and he's rapid, likewe talked about before, and that's going

(47:14):
to be so so important to thesystem we play in terms of recovery.
I think, you know, he'sgot the potential to look really good.
I think I'm going to go Idon't know if it's maybe not left field
actually, but it's going to bea toss up between probably, like you
said, Madison or maybe even Pasumer. But I'm going to say maybe the

(47:35):
player of the season could be adoggie. That's not a bad shout.
I mean that he's a lot ofplayer in it. Yeah. Yeah,
he looked he just has fitted straightin. Never thought that would be the
case. I mean, the talkof him coming a few people from who
had watched him in Italy, likepundits from that area said good player,

(47:59):
but I think it's going to takea lot of time to settle in.
And he's a bit inexperienced and dada day. You know, he doesn't
normally play this system, normally playsa wing back position. And he has
just looked like he's got a cigaron, you know, he's just come
straight in, picked it up straightaway. He looks calm, he looks
strong, he looks you know,I mean, he looks like value wise

(48:22):
five times the amount that we paidfor him. Yeah. Yeah, It's
funny how we're getting excited about defenders, isn't it. Yeah, that's true,
but they are. But they're notthe boring type of defenders, are
they. They're progressive that they are. You know that they're very sort of
skillful type players and you know,all players can be exciting, especially if

(48:45):
they contribute to the overall attacking philosophy. M yeah, yeah, completely,
And they are positions that we've desperatelyneeded to improve on for a long time.
So you know, I mean itis good business by the club,
and yeah, I'm really excited forthe next couple of months. You know,
it's going to be a bit clownshowy sometimes because they're all learning,

(49:07):
you know. But he said thathimself, didn't he and you just said,
you know, buckle up because theywill be you know, will be
some ups and downs. But eventually, when when I have built the team
that I want to build, youknow, beware, Yeah, yeah,
and I believe him. I mean, I'm fully, fully onto this,
you know. And yeah, youknow, the fans of the other clubs

(49:32):
that I know that I speak toof, you know, the more sort
of cerebral end of people that followstrange football clubs. Why on earth you
would I don't know, but youknow a lot of them have come to
me, not come to me tosay, but in general conversation have quietly
said, you know, I thinkthis guy is fucking brilliant for yours,

(49:53):
you know. So yeah, I'mjust looking forward to fucking December when they
suck him. No. Yeah,I mean the language barrier, I think
is one of these things I thinkhas helped him. But also he's got
this kind of a vuncular way abouthim. He's got a really good sense

(50:15):
of humor and immediately he's got youcan hear the ones that are interviewed and
mc giggling along with him. Heclearly doesn't suffer any falls, but he's
got this way about him. Ithink that that people just immediately respect and
look up to. I think he'sgoing to be a bit of a favorite
amongst you know, a lot ofpeople, to be honest, not just

(50:35):
for our club. Yeah, yeah, very much. So. Yeah,
you know, I mean that's thething, isn't it. Because there's an
awful lot of really boring sound bitesthat you know, before football matches these
days, and he is you know, I mean, we were all laughing
the other day as he as hedug himself into a massive old talking about
his wife buying uci and stuff,you know, yeah, going out for
loaves of bread and that kind ofstuff. Yeah. So, who do

(51:00):
you think will be the biggest loserof the season, don't I have no
idea. You know, I haveno idea. I know I would like
to see. I'd like to seea jeo of you know, Lacelso and
fucking and dumbly and and all ofthem people, you know, i'd like

(51:22):
to see all them working in McDonald's. But I don't know what happened.
I think, I think personally theone that may well full foul of the
system. Not that he's a terribleplayer. I think he's a really really
good player. But it might bePorrow. I'm not sure quite yet where
he fits. Yes, yeah,I mean that's an interesting thing because after
all of that sort of stress andaggravation and last minute getting him in and

(51:44):
doing all of this stuff, he'snowhere to be seen again, is he?
And actually, you know, EmersonRoyale is fitting in perfectly well and
looking like well, you know,actually that's a pretty decent footballer there,
which is you know, when hevery first arrived he showed some really really
promising capabilities. So yeah, youcould be right, Borrow could be probably

(52:07):
could be wrong as well. SoI mean he may end up, you
know, they push him further upfront. Yeah, you know, he's
got he's definitely got that sort ofin his lockers name. Well, there's
an interesting thing to say about that. Is one of the least effective players
I thought at the weekend was Kolasevski. I thought he's having a much he's

(52:27):
you know, he had that mayhave marvelous breakthrough season, and then last
year was a bit hot and coldbecause people had worked him out and got
his game out to evolve a littlebit. And then in that crowded final
third on Sunday, I thought hewas particularly ineffective a lot of the time
he was given the ball. Andso you know, it might be that
that he doesn't play such a bigrole anymore. Yep, Well, we

(52:52):
shall know at some point soon.I think one by the time we get
to round about Christmas, I thinkwe'll start to see things shape how we,
you know, and give and giveus a better idea of what we
might achieve. But hopefully a lotmore will have clicked by then. So
let's jump into the next game.On Saturday, we are playing menu at

(53:15):
home? How will this go?You're excited? Concerned? I think I
think the most likely outcome is adraw score draw. I wouldn't like to
bet on, you know, oneall or two all. Perhaps, you
know, if I was going tostick me out a little bit, you
know, not much, but youknow, United and not exactly setting the

(53:38):
world ablaze at the moment. Butthey are bloody dangerous and I think it's
going to be a big, biggame, and I think I'm doing exactly
the right thing in coping with itby fucking off to Devon and hiding in
the field with twenty thousand APIs andgetting drunk. So I'm not going to

(53:59):
have anything to do with it.I'm going to read it in the paper
on Monday morning. I'm going togo to the game, and I'm gonna
anethe size myself beforehand. I'm sure, but I don't know. I'm actually
really looking forward to the game.I'm not sure yet how I feel will

(54:19):
cope against them. I'm going tobe optimistic and say we'll win three two.
I think it will be a highscoring game, a lot of a
lot of two in a throne.As you say, they are good in
the inn attack and they might justpick us off at you know, on
the on the break. But Ithink I think we'll have a good go

(54:39):
at them, and I think itsis a good time to play him.
I don't think they look great againstwolves. No, those were very unlucky
and should have probably won it.So if they're not quite on it yet,
hopefully we can take advantage. Well. I mean, I think,
I mean, I think if there'sone thing I'll say about Posti car Glue
and what I've learned about him sofar, is that what he would say

(55:00):
if he was part of this conversationis you know, hey, what the
fuck are you two doing in myhouse? And be he would say,
you know, it's not about them, it's about us. Yeah. I
think that's the difference, isn't it. You know, is that actually it
doesn't matter whether they're firing or not. He's going to go out there and
try and win that, whereas Contewould probably have approached it quite cautiously,

(55:22):
you know, lest it reflect badlyon him, the fucking idiot. But
I think, you know, itkind of doesn't matter whether you united a
firing or not. What he's goingto do is he's going to get him
up there and he's going to workhim up into a further and say,
right, go and kick seven bellsa shit out of him and score half
a dozen goals and see what happens. Yeah, but I know he's also

(55:44):
come to the Premier League, isn'the. Apostacogluted to match up against some
of the best managers in the world. I think you'll be Look, I
think you'll be relish in it.You'll have the players right out for it.
But I think in terms of hisown sort of you know, prowess
and ego, he'd be thinking Ifancy this. Yeah. Yeah. He's
going to back himself, isn't he. And he's going to have to because
if he starts, if he startsoff coy and timid and you know,

(56:08):
playing for draws and trying to holdbig teams off, then the players are
going to lose faith in it quitequickly, aren't they. You know,
he's got to come in here andsay, nah, this is what we're
going to do. I mean,this goes back to what he said to
James Madison when he was trying tosign him. You're going to see a
different Tottenham under me. Yeah,yeah, yeah, And I think so.

(56:29):
Yeah, I'm all expecting. Imean, I say, I'm going
to go and hide in the field, you know. I just it just
happens to coincide with the weekend I'maway. I always enjoy the Man United
game because because it's not the nineteennineties anymore, and because they come and
they play football, and I thinkthat's really important. Man United never come
for a draw that was a lotbetter than the last game where they were

(56:52):
very, very defensive. Like yousay, they will come and play football,
and I think that will suit usbetter as well. Yeah, yeah,
absolutely. But what you're saying,just going back to that point about
and you know, backing himself,that's so refreshing to hear instead of all
this oh, it's going to taketime. We need patience. We need
patience, We need patience. He'ssaying, Look, we are rebuilding,

(57:13):
but we also need to think aboutnow. And I want you to understand
that basically, we back ourselves.We think that we can do this.
We're going to have a go.We are going to build a team that's
going to be frightening for everybody.We think we can win. There's no
reason why we can't. He's talkingin those terms of a time, which
is hopefully then going to be sortof a self fulfilling prophecy, instead of

(57:35):
talking us down and saying what wedon't have and what we still need and
what we like the other managers.He's talking us up all the time,
and every conversation I said this lastpod, every conversation even now, he
still keeps repeating this massive club,this big club deserves trophies. He keeps
saying that, and I think he'strying hopefully for that to sink into the

(57:58):
player's psyche as well. If hetalks about it in the media and they're
listening as well, you know,he's probably saying the same thing to them,
repeating in the media, this isa massive club, this is a
big club. We should we areone of the elite. You should think
about of us in that way,and you know, and us to act

(58:21):
accordingly. M Yeah, yeah,I completely agree. And I think that's
as important at the moment as anytactical tweaking, as any any nuance system
development. I think it's as importantas any of it, because I think
the thing that has been lacking hisbelief. You know, the last guy
didn't clearly didn't fancy the fucking job. He clearly wasn't up to it.

(58:45):
You know, he was only upto it at Chelsea with half a billion
quidsworth of players. And know you'refootball. So then it went to ship
the second season exactly because everybody workedit out, you know. I mean
I remember watching a video that hadbeen made when he recently, when he'd
only just took us over. Ithink we just been away at Everton and
Drew and there was a video madeand put up on YouTube of how you

(59:05):
stop the concert system playing. AndI watched it and thought it can't be
that simple. And then over thenext eighteen months you realized, yes,
yeah, that really is all youhave to do to stop that team play,
you know, because everybody else didexactly how to us. And so
I think this guy coming in anddoing that and saying, yeah, you
know, fuck it, let's goand have a go at these people.
Let's you know, you know.I mean, I don't want to be

(59:28):
all sort of you know, DNAof the club about it, but you
know, you go back to whatDanny Blanchflower said about going out there and
trying to beat the opposition and notbore him to death. But what I
like about him in terms of hisleadership style as well, is he not
only takes responsibility for the good thingsthat are happening, because that's by design,
but he's also taking responsibility for thenot so good things happening and not

(59:49):
laying that at the door of hisplayers like the previous manager, saying,
look, this is still my fault. This are things that I've yet to
imprint on them and get them toaccept as the way we things. So
this is on me. But wewill do it. We will get Yeah,
that's proper leadership, taking that kindof responsibility and also taking the burden
off his players. Yeah. Yeah, And I mean he reminds me,

(01:00:13):
just said, this is go backagain to the guy who's working with today.
And obviously we've spent an awful lotof the day discussing, discussing Pochettino
and and he said, you know, he'd watched our game before theirs was
on, and he said, oh, I was really impressed with the style
and all that. He said,actually, you know, you did it
might be a lazy thing to say, he said, the way you were,
you were it was attacking Tottenham again. He actually said it's good to

(01:00:35):
have Tottenham back because of course that'swhat people know us as an attacking club.
And he said, you're you're,you know a little bit like you
know, sort of shades of PochettinosTottenham, and I said, oddly enough,
it reminds me a little bit moreof Martin Yol Spurs. And he
reminds me a little bit more ofMartin Yol the way that he is a
bit of uncular and he's you know, he's all these things, and he's

(01:00:58):
charming, and he makes the shouldersa responsibility and he doesn't palm it off
on players, and he engages withmedia and he will talk effusively about what
he's doing and about what's gone righton what's gone wrong. And you know,
he does remind me of y'all alittle bit in that respect. And
I don't think I can pay anybodya higher compliment than that, because I

(01:01:19):
adore your Yes. Yeah, anyway, right, let's finish off me.
So I'm just going to give someprops to redemption. I probably will be
there on the weekend. If youhaven't been along there, where have you
been? You should get along there? They do on this weekend. It's
meant me really hot, isn't now. I think it's meant me like thirty

(01:01:40):
degrees or something. And they've gotan outdoor bit as well. We can
sit with benches, get along there. Pin cheaper than anywhere else. Yeah,
yeah, like four or five pounda pint there where it's like it's
you know, seven eight pound apint anywhere else. So yeah, it's
a great place. You're going toget a thing now you've said how much,

(01:02:00):
Yeah, that's it. Yeah,and it turns out to be six
seventh quid. Yeah, last timeI was there, they roll on,
They roll on a decent bit ofgrub as well. I've always with a
lovely bit of food when I've gonethere, so yeah, smashing people okay.
