"There are going to be there are going to be other gangs, games where Tom Hanks is not present. Where Emmy Martinez won't be playing against his former team where georginio won't be playing, it just is just too much. I think it's a lot, but wow, what an ending. And what a moment. And comedy gold. We should just say, even if there was nothing situational, it would not extra time Emmy Martinez hadn't played at arsenal. He hadn't have done that thing with the World Cup trophy. It was still just in itself in its own moment. It was comedy gold. It was comedy gold. And by the way, Eddie and ketchup know you're listening. Watch that goal. That is how you finish your head up just mechanically. Look at every multi there's that. You had the ball. I have a you might have a look at that as well. Yeah, I mean, that was just textbook finishing and I just there's so much narrative. It's really, it's not a tactical or a footballing moment that we watch. I do believe that we saw theology in that second, I believe. By the way, if a hand had come down from the skies with a godly finger and just tipped the ball into that, that would have been less surprising and I think less so that was the first draft. That was the first draft. That would have been less. That would have been, that would have been less seismic than what we did witness theologically. It was a religious moment. It was a religious providential. It was providential, I love it. Arteta postgame, try to erase the theology from the situation by just saying produced an incredible moment for us. It will always be judging if it's coming down. But that is true. He just started the production of it, but really it was Emmy Martinez who made it happen. By the way, I realized that there was no such thing as free will. It is all preordained. I've become very religious. Thank you. No, but not for your, it's not the computer or the program. I do believe I'm becoming a God fearing human being. This weekend because of this moment. I think that's the only logical response to them. You'll say it's not a simulation, but God exists. And it is all written. I believe in it. I believe in it. After watching that arsenal, I did a fourth Martinelli NHL type empty neta, which the arsenal players began to celebrate as did Martinelli before it even shot the ball over the line. They survived a storm. Thanks to God, your notion of God did listen whatever it is project it here because it definitely exists and they're left with heads held high second time villa had scored first at home conceded for first time in a Premier League Unai Emery had failed to damage and arsenal title challenge at William Wright's in GFP tweeted us mere milliseconds in the separation of human experience from, well, top four is going to be a good experience for my arsenal this year too. I need plain tickets for the open top bus parade. I'm so happy for all you gonna as massive win for your football club and arsenal who have tenacity and arsenal who fight and we know that in football how you respond to adversity as your everything and on this day arsenal lived out the entirety of red yard kipling's poem with Tom Hanks watching and Paul Hanks as he knows well. There's no crying in football right David just no cry. In 15 games to go for arsenal football club chasing this Premier League title, it is going to be an adventure. I can't wait. The gods are with you.

"Teen heartthrob in the detective series who solves crimes. I mean, he's like, if Andy Samberg and Joan Jett had a baby. I think you get John Tolkien. I am in love with that man I adored what she and Columbia team had beat in the U.S. in the last four clashes, sent out a C string lineup to lots of MLS talent in their squad. This is essentially our third string against their third string, those are the stakes, sold out crowd of 26,000 there. Let's be honest, heavily Colombian. Some degree of what these two games have wondered, why are they not played behind closed doors? It was an empty. It fell empty. It was reportedly dead on Wednesday tonight, was eagerly reminiscent of U.S. soccer back in the early 1990s. It is a weird way to build on the momentum of the World Cup. Eat for a January camp. I'm not sure I would play these games in public, but again, essentially it was an exercise in intensity without precision, Paxton had an early chance, hit a team shot at the keeper probably the best U.S. moment inside the first three and a half minutes, use a tenacious baller, that physically, in need of development, to hang with the big dogs, it cost her and Williamson couldn't keep hold of the ball and Columbia were trying to charge down the flanks. They had chance after chance charging through in transition, the speed of angels, the finishing of slump stick, clowns, U.S. also got blessed blue their share of chances, Matthew hoppy, snapping one straight at the keeper when clean through. A half time. Follicle just watched Everton play Everton reserves in training. And second half, it did not get a lot better. The game was so headless, reminded me to take an urban myth, but I actually believe it's true. If you cut off a chicken's head, it will still run around headless. Like that nervous system controls the limbs fleetingly. That's essentially how I describe that second half. I guess a good of the past two games, 12 debuts, most since 2006. And I just say, as I read this bud, I do so to better days to come. And in that regard, I mean, I don't know if there are questions tonight about the future direction of U.S. soccer. We talked a lot about it. Last week, potentially everyone feels like they've been let go. Or walked. And I do believe more is going to come out as to why only decided exactly now was the time to do camp that he missed his family now. After Sony a new contract until 2026 with the program truly teetering that he felt that this was the moment to leave. I just say a lot does not smell right a lot makes no coherent sense. And I'm interested to see what we learned from the report, which is said to be two weeks away. There are reports of Burt halter and raina. How honest and transparent U.S. soccer will be in the coming weeks. I think the fan base need it. I think the fan base deserve it. Again, one of the truly sad moments of this period, which is pretty bloody traumatic, pretty twisted, pretty dark, is how little press coverage this is all getting. And if I'm U.S. soccer and probably psyched about that right now, but honestly, you know, as a fan, short term, it may be a win for them, that they can get through this with relatively little negative day to day coverage in the mainstream press. But the truth is we long to be a proper sock in Asian and part of that is for the game to operate always in the spotlight. And right now it's just so bloody said to me how small football feels here in every aspect. To FA Cup action today, fourth round won the big game early doors. A Clinton Stanley hosting mighty lead to accrington, League One strugglers in a northern industrial town, 20 miles outside of Manchester. Once famed for cotton and brickworks, fallen on hard times in March leads. These games are going to say, are such banana skins, always no wins, even when they win. They're still no wins for the big team. The locals pack in. Packing the houses around the stadium. They want to witness big dogs coming to town and struggle and flail in their tiny locker room with a couple showers and lo fi surrounds. And they're going to say accrington were freed. They probably did they like it up from the big dogs. Leads themselves. Funny, tactically, a shape to live without possession. And they honestly didn't seem to know what to do when they were afforded it and this one. And there's an element of Leeds fans talked about this before who honestly can't stand Jesse. They were in a deep love relationship with Marcelo Bielsa. I understand that. Absolutely completely what that man did, how he lived his life by the values, what he did for the club, bringing them back to the promised land. Jesse is not him. And that American accent is just a perpetual vulnerability in that context just to be fair as Unai Emery's good evening and his spotty English made him a target. Really a target for sport at arsenal and you could feel the frustration that elites fans begin to build in this one until the 23rd minute. When a lead move rapidly broke the lines, a ball flicked into bamford slipped off to Jackie Harrison, who smashed the ball drove it low and is celebration well it was not. Because if it was a week forest training game, just like, okay, we've done this, let's get out of town. And when Leicester offered me 20 million pounds to leave, let me go. Leads didn't make it easy on themselves. And they had more than the whiff of gold to be candid. Some comedy defending sommelier and goals within three minutes from fur pro. I think it's his first full leads and a magical bit of bamford wizard filth and that one and then sinister killed off the tie. God, leads first appearance in the 5th round since 2015, but the truly big news out leads today is that according to fabrizio Ramon western McKinney, the 24 year old entertainer from Little Elm Texas is going to assign for legion tomorrow option to buy truly an incredible boat going to join his friend, Tyler Adams whopping this falls Medford, New Jersey, Brendan aronson, all managed for now and the Jesse marsh of Racine Wisconsin at a club, minority, I soon

"Himself at Aston Villa, making big money. So it might be tough to get this guy. But we know he has had success hook and specifically he has had success in tournaments and with different teams, right? He won the Europa League with Sevilla. He wanted again with Villarreal. So we know he can win tournaments and he doesn't need just one group of guys. He can do it with multiple groups of guys. Very impressive to me about Unai Emery. The other thing that in his resume stands out, he can deal with the pressure because he's dealt with it before. This is a guy that has had huge jobs, PSG, arsenal. I love Unai Emery as a possible, not quite reach, not quite safety choice for the Mexican national team, her. What do you think? No, I love what he did with Villarreal. You're just, I don't know how possible it will be. You mentioned the salary. You mentioned the Premier League. It's going to take a lot to entice a manager. Would that type of wallet that type of cachet to come to the Mexican national team, but impossible? Hey, who am I to say? Exactly exactly. Plus, I'm sure Lopez is not on a bottom line salary there in the Premier League. He's making money too. You're going to have to be a good job. You want to get a good candidate, you got to fork over some cash. Okay. All right, FMF. All right, yeah. Okay, go ahead. All right, let's get to the safety school. So let's get to the folks we really, really, truly believe, no matter what, if we offer them the job, they're going to take it, hurt. Who you going with?

"Of Tyler Adams road to the cup powered by VW that drops this Thursday on this very pot feed. America. Okay, Aston Villa three Manchester United one, Unai Emery returns from the wild like a basque Bear Grylls to teach villa some crafty survival tactics and within 11 minutes, his new charges were two nil up Leon Bailey got through in the 7th minute to open the scoring and unfilled a wonderful little dance move on the end line and Luka dny doubled up your favorite rods Luca DA doubled it up with a wonderful left footed free kick united pulled one back just before the half after Luke Shaw's effort from distance took a massive deflection off of Jacob Ramsey, but the young English man, a tone for the own goal or unintentional own goal on the other side of halftime, arriving late and blasting one into the top corner to Mark Unai Emery's return to English football with a three one win. Yeah, watching Emily and just salute and taking the applause pregame from the giddy home of illa fans. He's just signed four and a half year contract enormously long. He talked about his dream to secure Aston Villa's first major trophy in 26 years, return the club to its historic glorious past almost recover his own reputation after it was somewhat savaged at arsenal. It looked like I got the thing it was just a Persian cat having its tummy rub. Do you just look so elated to be there? Despite just overseeing three training sessions, it all began like a fever dream 7 minutes in fuller playwright through the middle Leon Bailey Concacaf and smashing at home incredible stat. He's got four Premier League goals and they've all come under different managers. Dean Smith, Stevie G, danks emery. Here he finished crisply through the hair first goal from open play, the Spaniard had conceded in just over 12 hours of league playing with only take three and a half minutes before it would be two. Then yeah, spanking a free kick, dipping, web precision, like a French tattooed sleeve debris, peak, new manager bounce was achieved, David. Looking unrecognizable from the team that played under Stevie G, great energy, great speed and honestly, you know, playing their opponents in a proponent that's been playing very well recently, just played them off the park at points. Yeah, united could live with villa's intensity, their press, a lot of players out and made a massive difference brewed a suspended van der beek, giving his first start in the team for 701 days and all he did was share why he doesn't deserve another. And united did force her way back into the game as villa punched themselves out a little towards half time, but it proved to be a false dawn second half, villa killed off the game, a calamitous sequence of defensive play from united, leaving the excellent Jacob Ramsey who emery had reinstated to finish. It was the rubbernecking delight of a Ronnie Ming's fight. God, that is how far he's fallen these fighting Tyrone rings. And it's really the only punch Ronnie had the CR 37 on the day when he didn't just start, but in Bruno's absence was captain, you know, you've got 494 million followers on Instagram and you too can be overindulged at your football club. With him at the tip of the arrow united really they were playing with ten men for much of this game just outpaced how exactly does the new manager bounce work? What actually goes into it? I really wish I understood more about it. But yeah, every single player just really showing up and trying to impress players. You didn't get a lot of minutes Leon Bailey being one of them. First win against united for villa in 9941 days villa fans who were. Oh, I thought she could say years. 30. Well, if you were a villa fan, and you were alive for the last game, you were 13. And you were now 40 when you watch this at the weekend. That's a lot of life. United first lost in the league since August. And let's talk overboard at the end of an impressive run. But it's got to be noted that without veran without Bruno Fernández ra Anthony, this squad, which is that so much money spent on it. They did look thin. European knights fans, united drew Barcelona in the rupa league. This morning all hail hot balls, but who knows at the wheel? They've a Stevie G died so that villa could lift. That's how Stevie G will see it. But how much did the villa players really hate Stevie G when they can play this well? Ah, that could be the secret of the bounce. It wasn't so much a bounce as a rebound is what you're saying. Southampton won Newcastle. Wow, four, four different goal scorers for the magpies beginning with yet another for living the dream, miggy armor on his fourth straight game with a goal in his 8th on the season with fabulous goal as well. Victory that sent Newcastle up to third Southampton, meanwhile, have said goodbye to Ralph Hassan huddle after four years in charge. It had to happen. So we meet again in the Alpine ski lodge lobby bar in the sky route. Another weekend, another surging comprehensive victory for pith castle, leaving their fans who'd made the 644 mile round trip to the south coast. The chance to take their shirt out and go belly off in The Rain, Eddie Howe rings up a urine charge of football's latest blood soap nation building process 19 wins in his last 32 games, partially due yesterday to being heavily backed in the last transfer window, but also partially down to his tactical savvy, his man management, and his desire to build a squad that's constantly hungry to learn, Miguel moron again, another game of a joyful goal 7 in 7. His 8th goal of the season, just incredible to watch this stat, David, his first 1327 days as a Premier League player a 154 shots ten goals, his last 36 as a player in the Premier League 23 shots. 7 goals. That is the eddy how effect is almiron the best 100% human player in the Premier League this season? I believe someone came up with a better tweet as a response. Yeah, they did. Mike Marshall, he said, I'm not convinced that we're not watching cyborg Alma or two negative. I don't even know what that means. Newcastle Goethe, Southampton, into the bottom three and Ralph Hassan huddle, who's been like a cat with 9 lives and held on after humiliation after humiliation, not after this one, 6 defeat in 9 games fired. After being asked by a journalist, do you see a way out of this predicament and Ralph just said, no. Hard to watch him struggle. He's got a young young squad limitations at the front and the back is four years of thrills and spills and dabbling in elite mixologist waste coats are now over. He was a good coach, rip Ralph Hampton, loon town's Nathan Jones rumored to be negotiating to take over the Nate Hampton era is upon us. West Ham won Crystal Palace two or otherwise said directional deli meat, one reflective royals home. Two. It was Sunday's second London Darby road, the irons jumped out ahead in the 20th minute when Saeed Ben Rama sent an Algerian blast into the top corner but Patrick Vieira's palace answered, wow, first in the 41st minute with wilf, capitalizing on a sloppy West Ham turnover in their own third and staffing it back down David Moyes throat. And then in the game's dying embers, Michael Elise shot hit off Aaron creswell. Sorry, producer J dubs ending up in the back of the net palace are in tenth place on 19 points the same number as Liverpool. West Ham looked like a number of teams this week, but more than any of them to have players. His mind was really on the World Cup and not getting injured rather than, you know, doing the club job. And that 94th minute punishment came Alice challenged just this week by Vieira to score more this season. He obliged via that enormous deflection, but he won't care. Michael Lee say, quoting Michael Scott, quoting Wayne Gretzky. You miss a 100% of the shots you don't take crystal palaces first away win at the season. This soothed some of my Chelsea wounds this weekend, roger, I won't lie. Wolves to brighten three after valiantly coming back from an Adam lallana opener to lead to one walls. Oh, they shot themselves in the pores. Nelson somato first out jumped at the back post by Caro mitoma to concede the equalizer and sent off some minutes later for a last man challenge on the Japanese forward Brighton's patients paid off when in the 83rd minute Pascal gross found the back of the net for the winner. Red list wolves who had scored just 6 times till before this game increased that by 25% inside one half, scoring twice,

"Number, the subtle of the number name is where he pushes them. So I don't understand how it's not a penalty. Especially when we saw cancello yesterday, similar sort of challenge, and obviously he gets sent off and can see the penalty. And Alexandra did some 5, ten minutes later outside the bolt. Yes. It was push again. That was, I was in Paris for challenging. I came to make and he pushed to play at all. I mean, some of his passing today was tremendous, particularly diagnosed. But yeah, that's that for me is a clear push. Unlike the other one, I know people will say, well, why is that a push and who's the one in the Chelsea game? Party for me. Party for me is more leaning into the player. You can see they've gone right and then pushing in the back. I think it's completely different. You say no penalty, Frank. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, of course it's a penalty to clear push, and there is nothing much to say, you know, I can't believe. I know, I mean, for referees and people, especially in the world, they have to start knowing the rules and knowing our players play and how and you have to feel the game. I mean, that's a clear push. There is no excuses. There is no fake from there from the opponent. I mean, that's crazy. You know, it would have been a different game. So why do you make stupid mistakes like that when you're a referee? Because you changed the game. You really changing it. Sometimes I was on the field. And I was thinking to the reference, you know, go back to your place, you know, we're going to handle that better than you. You're in the middle and you putting a real mess because you don't know how to ref. I used to say that to some reference, because that's what I see sometimes. They know nothing, they don't feel the game, and that's stupid. I saw the bitty city, you can see the game. I mean, that's crazy. That's crazy. What I see sometimes, you know, say, referee, when they do, why do they do? Meanwhile, another big game tonight, another big result, Aston Villa, first game of Unai Emery in charge. Boy, they started really well in this match, and they were going to win it, but I think three goals to one on behalf of the opening gold didn't even have a fantastic free kick. We saw a response slightly, didn't we then and from united, but it was sealed in the end Ramsay with the goal. After the break, this was old united, wasn't it? This was the first earlier

"Perhaps you'd expect a driver being paid handsomely to defend their team to the hills, but you know, if you look at McLaren three, four years ago, you say, well, the reason they can't win is because a wind tunnel is an up to spec. So that's why they're getting their brand new shyly one online for 2024. But we know that him will facility at Sauber is amazing, all those LMP1 cars at a designer and then go on to blitz circuit Della Sartre and all of that, it's a cracked facility, but they're not, yeah, and as you mentioned they're not operating at the cost cap. So some of that means they're slow with parts so they can design something pretty mega but then can't construct it, can't get it on both cars. But also if you're not operating at cost cap, you know, this is why the arguments for breaking the cost cap with the allegations at Red Bull are so strong because there is performance to be gained there. So if you think Alfred have taken it or sailboats, we should probably start referring to taking that decent step forward. They're now midfield contenders, which is no mean feat, considering that car would not do two or three laps without going bang in pre season testing, but now a bona FIDE midfield contender with some more investment with the more loving playing field of the cost cap. So again, if they keep on investing, they would expect them to start to begin to catch up. So if I could use a poor analogy, I'm an Aston Villa fan Martin and we've just signed a new manager in Unai Emery, and it's not about going and winning the Premier League in the next three seasons. It's about being the best of the rest, which I think is the next target for that Sauber operation that we did sign of the chassis. And then it's about what they can do when they're running well. They probably the Audi side is probably been through a couple of team leaders to find the right one and then you start investing together to build incremental gains with the engine and whatever. And then in their words, take on or be the best German manufacturer in what was that awful they did something like the rings of the new stars or something which basically means move over Mercedes. And I think when they probably put that out what they're anticipating is beating Mercedes at the top rather than thinking Mercedes have regressed to where they are now. Okay, look, let's take a quick break and when we come back we'll talk about how it might work from a team versus engine perspective, many teams do split those two bases and successfully in some cases and will have a look to what they could be doing over the next three years to ensure that they have the best drivers from 2026 to take on that three year plan of getting to the front of the grid. Those are stories are on the way. Okay, let's talk a little bit about Matt, your opinion on how it might work. Audi have their obviously their base in Germany, their motor sport base. But as you've mentioned already, actually, the henville facility, the wind tunnel there, which has been around a long time now, but I gather has been updated and is still used very much as a source of revenue. As a business line to rent out. And it's still very if not cutting edge is still very, very good. One of the best in the world. Many teams do split. So the world champions, Honda and Red Bull, Red Bull powertrains based here in the UK and Milton Keynes. And then some of the, I think the stuff that Honda are very, very good at. They would say the combustion engine side is still done in Japan. Also split, Renault, Alpine. If you like France and perhaps less successfully, you could say lots of teams split engine and team and some have it all under one roof. I know the Christian Horner recently has been using that phrase that Red Bull power trains and Red Bull is able to build a car and an engine under one roof. I think it was an interview with Fred. A Ted sorry when he went to his house over the break and he was talking a lot about Red Bull powertrains. It was interesting that he was making that and sort of before the re loving with Honda. I guess, but what's your opinion on how it could shake out? Because it's not like Audi are going to buy their way into Sauber. Close down their base, which is not the biggest, but nothing to be ashamed of and move it all to Germany. So they're going to have to split it, not a million miles apart physically. How do you think it's going to shake out? Well, the one Barrett that would be the enormous cost and two if in rising does retain this small percentage. He'll say that that doesn't happen. But I think it's an interesting discussion, isn't it? Because then where do you draw the line? So, you know, like you talk about Red Bull being based in the UK and Honda in Japan. But what about Mercedes with the engine being done at brixworth and end up being an hour's drive to the chassis in brackley? What about even Red Bull when they go with their Red Bull powertrains online? Well, they're still separated by a factory rule in Adrian newey. It might be masterminding the design of the car, but he's not over same engine. Look at auto sport, we have the distinct magazine and the website. Has that necessarily changed from when we always used to be in the office together to now us communicating on Zoom and Microsoft Teams and other online software since pandemic not necessarily. So I don't really buy that as a barrier. I can see why it might be a handy excuse or whatever, you know, you think of maybe a better way to look at it rather than sort of the physical locations getting bogged down and that is the philosophy to use a really grandiose term. The concept that the approach, but that's why the McLaren Honda partnerships fell apart so much because one was had Mercedes sorry, because McLaren had designed this what it thought was a class leading better than anyway. I was size zero Coke bottle shaped package. The Honda engine barely could fit in. And so because it was basically crowbar in there, it was getting too hot and kept going bang all the time. So you can add these two class leading organizations, but unless they integrate well, it's not going to happen. So that's when you would say Sauber is still Sauber engineer is and there will still have this minority ownership and stuff. But effectively, if they're all using Audi headed letter paper, you'd expect them to run with the same approach and therefore they can integrate well and be harmonious. So I don't see it being a major issue. And in terms of Audi, bigwigs or the marketing department with the ideally wanting all in Germany, yeah, I get that, but does it really matter? I mean, it is the same way so I was speaking to someone and I'm sure people can take an educated potshot who it was, but someone very high up in the Porsche 9 one 9 program. I said, well,

"Com. Aston Villa for Brentford mill and attacking display that was the equivalent of purposefully hitting Stevie G with the door on his way out, got started within two minutes. Leon Bailey stroking home a short corner, then 5 minutes later, the concave provider cut back across for Danny ings to extend the lead ings grabbed a penalty for a second on the day and Ollie Watkins rounded it out in the second half to earn villa their first win in four games and in more villain news, roger, old, Premier League friend Unai Emery was confirmed as the new permanent manager at midday on Monday. Farewell, Stevie J a manager who never found the right balance for his team. Was weighed down by his acquisition of Coutinho, be careful what you wish for and who aired tactically wanted a system Michael Beale, the camp for queensport rangers, as Taylor Swift would say. Everybody agrees. It's me. I'm the problem. It's me. Do hope that doesn't rule him out as Liverpool's next manager as clock promised less than the year ago, David. They were like, oh, he's just in waiting. For the Anfield job in his absence, we tuned in to see how Aston Villa would begin the post Stevie Gerrard era. Against Brentford, Brentford, who are on the road a shadow of the team they are at home and villa just unleashed a barrage of goals. Each one day, it was like watching a breath of relief that Steven Gerrard had left the building. Yeah, the entire 90 plus minutes of the game was like an Aston Villa highlight reel. They playing with freedom. I mean, you've rarely seen 11 players happier to be playing under a new manager. Concacaf temporary manager. Leon Bailey sparkled Danny ings only Watkins booth Scott. By the way, ings, beautifully it's on our Instagram. We walked out with a mascot for villa foundation. Football Sessions, and Danny ings, warhead phones to block out the crowd noise alongside the mascot who needed them. It was a beautiful thing to witness humanly. I'd just say comedy goals are the best goals, villages delivered for their fans, a feel good day that the cried out for less a new manager bounce more a new manager explosion. Talk about a team not playing for their old guy, David, even Ming's bloody scored, and when I realized this, by the way, I did wonder, the only owner is actually bonkers to actually try this and I hope you're listening is Todd burleigh. Why does the team not just fire their manager every single week? Just play for that new manager bounce, then fire that new manager immediately get a new one in and ride it all the way into Europe would it work? We should start a team in a league somewhere and we should call the new manager bounce united. And we should try out this hypothesis. I love it. Yeah, the team's motto in Latin will be don't get too attached to the new guy. And yesterday, I knew guys, it's an old guy. Old friend, Unai Emery, will be joining from Villarreal villa reportedly making contact first with pochettino, then Tuchel before landing on Unai Emery, just working their way backwards on PSG's Wikipedia page. That scouting, but it's good to see the return of Emory, who got arsenal 5th, but never truly won the trust of the fanbase quite cruelly, which led to his demise, his arrival means villa have a proper tactically excellent manager now, one deeply motivated to reassert himself in England and reassert the club filler a clip of longing. Their owners are actually spending money. They long to return to the old days of villa glory and they're now instant favorites for the Europa League, even though they're not in it. Apparently, roger according to Google Translate, it's nim, atake artist at novum guy, non nimbus. Guy doesn't seem to translate from English to Latin. The interesting here is that we're watching Steven Gerrard. And on the whole, you bring in these young managers because of the relationships that they bond with the players. So they may not have all of that tactical ability. They may not have all of that managerial experience, but at least you feel that they'll bring on the younger players. I would actually contrast it with what Lampard was able to do in his first season at Chelsea and what Darby county his first season at Chelsea. And now Everton, he seems to have a very good relationship with the young players, but I find interesting about Gerard, is he seemed to establish no relationship with these players who surely watched him, many of them played against him and realized what a good footballer he is. And it just wasn't there. There was a piece about this, a loved by you and Murray in The Guardian, I think. He wrote about how great the desire has been for England's modern day international playing heroes to become the nation's finest managers and how it just has not happened. Gary Lineker prefers to sit in the television studio and be the face of the game from there. David Beckham, he wrote would rather own a club the managed one and we want our English gods to persevere. I think mostly said that we can crap on them again like we did with Stevie J at villa and for Gerard, the next move probably to the world free world of the footballing SS that is the championship where anything and everything can happen to him as he tries to reassert himself.

"Was there any part of that hard for him to be so famous at such an early age? Was there part of him that felt like this was all maybe happening too soon? I asked him, look, you know, is there anything you regret in this life that you've had? Hugely successful, wildly popular. And he said he missed growing up normally, missed childhood a bit. The only thing I regret a little bit is to grow up like me and really fast because I start to play in professional life like 16 and when you start and he talked about having to become a man really quickly and then I'm becoming really famous. But I was just a young guy who wanted PlayStation after the game of like this. I have to do video to go to the gym to take care of what I eat at 16 years old. And so look, I want to go for a walk to Times Square. I'd love to do that or walk in the street and have an ice cream. I can't do things like that. And I'd like to well, sticking with this theme of incredible success early in his career and having to grow up very quickly. Turk, you also wrote about killing Mbappé's big move to Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017. This is when he was just 18 years old. And the conversations that he had with the club at that time. Tell us what you learned about those discussions. I talked to Unai Emery, who was the coach of Paris Saint-Germain at the time they signed Kellyanne and he said, we had a meeting in a house that his family owned in Paris. And it wasn't discussion really, at least with the player wasn't about money or anything like that. He basically said to him, and again, the maturity and the confidence I suppose as well. And I guess a degree of arrogance too, I think that all maybe top stars have in sports and maybe other fields where he says to Emory look. I'm going to come only if you guarantee that I'm going to start in the team. And not only start if I have a bad game, you can't drop me. Because I'm a big player. Okay, if I have 5 or 6 bad games in a row, then maybe, but you have got promised me that if I sign for you, I start and I'm not easy to put on the side. And Emory said, yeah, well, he obviously joined. And he didn't really have a bad game so that couldn't be tested. Super soon. He got to the Champions League semifinals. When he was 18, that's when the world realized that there was a real star on the hands that same year. He goes to Russia and barnstorming performance, firing France to World Cup victory. The first teenage World Cup final goal sent Pelé himself. What a thing to bring home when you're an 18 year old at talking about what did you do in the summer? You say, oh, you know, I got this new video game when holiday here. What did you do? Yeah, I went to Russia and I won the World Cup. It will be some can can on the champs elysees tonight. France are the champions of the world. This past summer, one of the biggest storylines in soccer was whether or not Mbappé was going to move to the team that he grew up rooting for Real Madrid who, by the way, just one yet another Champions League title, this past may. But he ended up staying in Paris and the way that came about was pretty interesting. Can you lay out exactly how things unfolded? Yeah, you have to know that he's playing for Paris Saint-Germain, which is owned by the state of Qatar, which is one of the richest places on earth, and they own a football team. Money is no object. To he's the guy from Paris, his French three. He loves Real Madrid. And the year before, he said he wanted to leave for Real Madrid. And it was almost locked that this guy is going to Real Madrid. And there's some very few curious things happened in the summer. The French president Emmanuel Macron gets involved. He wants this guy to stay in France. He wanted me to stay, you see, it's only yeah. I want you to stay, I don't want you to leave now. You are so important for the country. Everybody is going to be a hobby. If you stay. I can't recall ahead of state since I think Brazil in 1961, the president of Brazil, and the government of Brazil passed legislation to keep Pelé in Brazil. They described it as a national treasure that can not be sent overseas, although macaron and the French didn't pass any legislation to stop killing Mbappé going anywhere else. The importance and bappe holds for France was clear if this guy who is dealing with elections at the time wants to get involved. It's a big sign. And a degree of pressure on Mbappé as well. Of course, when the president say that to you, that's counting. I never imagined I'm going to talk with the president on the bottom of our future about our future in my career. So it's something crazy. And a couple of factors are at play here. One, Qatar really want him to be in a Qatari own team. We got the World Cup this year. In Qatar. So imagine in bapo wins the World Cup is in their club team is wearing their Jersey and then he wins the World Cup. It's symbolic. And of course, in 2024, you have the Paris Olympics, which is a really big deal for France and bap ace talked about being there playing in the soccer tournament. And then you're looking at cold hard cash. Real Madrid, as far as I understand, offered him a €120 million as a signing on fee just to sign his contract and stay with him. And then add to that anything north of €25 million a year in salary. I mean, the numbers are like telephone numbers, aren't they after a while? And then Paris Saint-Germain are able to counter

"It's a couple of points drop for sure, but in the end, being one behind ten minutes ago, you sort of take a point, not good performance. Talk about not a good performance. What a wonderful performance from ansu fati. You stole the show in bas four one, win against Sasha dad. Yeah, he came on as a substitute. I stole the show. Robert live in dossier scored inside of the minute. It was his 34th birthday then I had another goal. I thought this was a really convincing performance. It was tight in the first half. Obviously esec putting something out ahead or not had equalizing early chances for both sides in the second half they turned on the afterburners. And I think he started with Ferdinand on the Flank with dembele on the other one. There was a sense that, oh, he wants his wingers to go wide. And so far, he doesn't really do that. But he's just doing phenomenal football. The little back heel to set up the dumbbell goal, he special. I think it was important to have a big convincing win over a good side to kind of just fuel there's a project a little bit more. Now I hate to tell you this Don, but none of your former clubs in the top flight have won a game yet. Shut up. I don't buy that when you say I hate to tell you this. I think you love it. That includes West Ham, who lose at home to Brighton to nil. I mean, shocker of a performance. It was a shocker. I mean, so let's move on from that because it was pretty shocking. Right, they've never been bright in a Premier League. Ever. I mean ridiculous. Huge win for Unai Emery and Villarreal, I let it go Madrid at the wonder. Are they struggling like let it go Madrid? Yeah, not a good start to the season. They had their chances. They were unlucky. I sought after Matthias cuny come on, but Villarreal hanging in there. A lot of people, the smart money suggests Villarreal for top four could happen. Wild stuff at the westphal in dawn, bursa Dortmund are tunneled up at home with a minute or so to go and they somehow lose three two. Have you ever seen anything like this? Dortmund do it all the time, gap. Are they doing? It's the one club I think in European football, since I've been watching the Bundesliga for many a years, that this type of result is in their DNA. Forever. You can never bank on. I mean, with a minute and a half to go, I mean, you've got to win the game surely. But it's Dortmund is what they do. It's whether it's against minds or Freiburg, you can never count on them in any particular game. What we used to call spurs Y, right? There you go. Dortmund. But I will say this. I really like interrogation. I like to look for mitigating circumstances and they had modest in there who's 34 and really not settled into this team at all. And obviously kind of like an emergency signing. The young kid, Jamie kittens, I don't think he's quite ready yet. They do have other options. They had a bunch of injuries, obviously not on your Marlin. That said, the performance was absolutely terrible. They scored two goals to great goals, Brandt, and Raphael Guerrero. I think that's where they were only two shots on target, all game, and to let it slip like that when you're tuning along. I mean, there should be an inquest. I think not so much on the slipping, or as much on learning the game separate way like that. As it is the performance, what happened in those previous 89 minutes because they were played off the part by vertebra. Yeah, wow. Right, so Napoli, so they've lost and senior dreams merton's kula Bali. Let's talk about the new boy, kavita, carved Scalia. Looks at play, there you go. You've been practicing the job. Is what he's got in the back of his shirt. He's happy for people to call him. This guy's ridiculous. He scored a tremendous goal. OC men also chipping in with a very good goal. He's just electric. He's electric. They love their little quick players. He plays with so much aggression and so much quality. They've got 9 goals in the first two games, obviously put 5 away. To Verona on opening day, it seems to me so far and select these teams often start well and so on. But this is pretty impressive. Talk about reloading on the fly, the big Korean defender Kim also getting on the score sheet again. He's got huge shoes to fill and cooler Bali's. So far, so far, they look good. I mean, I may need to revisit my top four predictions. Wow. Punishments for the Thomas Tuchel Antonio Conte male have come through to hold gets a one game ban context. Nothing. Sound fair to you, Don. I think the thing that's got Thomas Tuchel and a lot more trouble was the comments about the referee after the game. It wasn't so much in my humble opinion. The antics during the game, the handshake, which has gone viral. I think it's when he got in the press conference afterwards, and he was talking about Anthony Taylor and he said, he feels unfair that he gets a one game ban, but the whistle next week. I think that's probably what's done it for him. I think it was no need to sort of go there. I also assume that if he hadn't done that kind of cycle thing of grabbing haunt his hand and not letting go, thereby engendering the whole melee that followed, they might have overlooked his postgame comments. Personally, I wouldn't have been either one. I think you can't have it both ways. I watch this and the commentators and the exposure there, oh look, it's a Premier League old, they care so much. Oh, I passionate. You can have it both ways. You want these guys to behave like WWE guys. That's fine. But then you can't go in and punish them for it. In my opinion. I think you could have let them both off with a warning personally. Back to bossa gab, Jules kunde, not being registered. What is happening? Well, there's still, they're still down. They still haven't met the requirements. We kind of knew that, obviously, they're still some contracts they hope to restructure.

"Final and now the Champions League Final will it come back like that today, Don, help them in that plate. I don't think so okay, I just think what it showed to the world and it showed to everyone is that Liverpool have got quality, but also got a big heart and they've got loads of bottle. This is a further anyone's ever been in terms of the quadruple. So they are breaking records all over the place. I think there will be Chelsea in the final. I think the lab DFA cup. The leagues, the leagues, the hard one, obviously being a point behind city, because both teams are that good, they could win every single game. It's Craig said, I think if you asked Jürgen Klopp, not on the microphone, because you wouldn't give you an honest answer. And I think if you asked Liverpool fans, Liverpool players, who they want in the final, it would be Real Madrid because there's nothing between city and Liverpool. The margins are so narrow, where fancy Liverpool playing against Madrid. But as I said, I said, they've got bottle and they've got heart. They've got quality. They've got options. That was the real Liverpool in the second half. There was a point as Ali said there were Villarreal was strong. Or even Unai Emery, I think he would have said after the game, there's one or two players like Jeremy Moreno who are carrying injuries and there was one or two others that just couldn't last the 90 minutes. So yes, it will give them a wake-up call. I don't think it'll affect the Premier League. They're going to again we're going to Tottenham ill plays stronger side and I expect Liverpool to go marching on. Frank? Yeah, you know, I wanted to go with the guys and while done was speaking, you know, but the fact that maybe it's better to play Real Madrid sorry in the final, instead of man city, I'm thinking, yes, but that team won 13 times the Champions League that they know how to win it and they showed it against Chelsea Paris Saint-Germain before that they can play badly and I mention it many times I'd say moderate made an article saying that, yeah, we don't play well, but we have the spirit of winners and we're going to keep on working hard with that. Which is a big tool. Comparing to man city, which never won the Champions League, which lost against Chelsea last season. So when they're going to reach the final, if Citi reaches the final, they're going to think, okay, we never won. We're going to play against the team we want 6 times. There is a psychological spirit that you have to take in count when you play a final it can be a workup. Finally give you a chance to see final and you know when you play Madrid, you know you would have a hard time chewing because they know how to win the last game. And that's what it is. You don't play a final. You don't play well, you just win it, or you lose it. Ali, who do you think Liverpool would prefer in the final? I imagine that they would prefer Real Madrid because of all the reasons I've already been mentioned. I think Liverpool can play a game at a different pace and Real Madrid can and I think one of the things that Al Madrid fears is speed because they don't have speed themselves certainly through the midfield and certainly in the back line as well. But look at potential matchups. If indeed was Real Madrid that they were playing, okay, ten Alexander Arnold doesn't defend. And doesn't defend very well at all. We saw that today again, Vinicius looking at trans and Alexander Arnold, one V one over distance, I'm saying, if I'm Real Madrid, I like that. And the way that Kari Benson was playing right now, I like him against whoever he's playing against. So there are certain matchups that Real Madrid would want, but I think on the whole Liverpool would probably prefer to play against Real Madrid given the fact that they have a big edge on speed and athleticism. All right, Don, percentage Chancellor in the quadruple. Oh, my days. I'm just sticking with what I've been saying for ages. 51, 49. It's too tight. It's too hard to call. Quadruple, there's so much talk about this so much made of it. It's definitely within their sights. They're capable of doing this, aren't they? Capable of doing it, but what is the auxiliary you got to be in it to win it? And they are, I'll look, they didn't think they were going to be in a Premier League title release because SETI at one point were a long way ahead, but Liverpool had great form and set these stumbled a couple of times that let them back in it. The other competitions, I think that always kept them in the final now in 5 years in the Champions League, which is quite an incredible feat. So yeah, I mean, it can be done. I still think the Premier League got Tottenham at the weekend. It's in the ball is still in mindset, it's caught, so the odds are against them. But it would be an incredible achievement. I just think somewhere one of those, I don't know which one they'll just fall short of. Yeah, there's a lot more talk about the Premier League title race and the Champions.

God bless mckellen too, are you making Concacaf proud? One more question, please. Raj, this is Doug from Dublin, Ohio, Crystal Palace fan, the singing ringing tree whales at flament, Sean dyche has been stacked by Burnley. I'm shocked and stunned, my question to you is, do you think anybody currently managing the Premier League has a chance to make it to ten years like Sean dyche is clock the one, anyone else, Raj? Thanks. Oh, Doug. I not spoken enough over the past couple of weeks about the trademark. Frank Lampard decade old dynasty that's about to come. Look, what Sean Dodge did was magnificent. It really was the last Premier League manager, as I said earlier, to have been in football for longer than the men in blazers, her Sully television. I mean, I do not think we will see his like again. Well, one more than anything. This area of Twitter football fandom just need your opinions are an unstoppable spigot. You know, I was reading one this morning about Everton, someone tweeted, could have had Unai Emery. Could have had two call, could have had more ease Everton football club. I mean, God, football, none of that. Football doesn't work like any of that. But clubs do sentiment analyses of social media and weigh that into their footballing decisions and for managers, the hook is shorter than ever for many different reasons. The proof is we're living in an era in which some teams have three bloody managers in a season, I've said this before. They used to happen in Italy when that was the biggest league in the world in the 90s and we in England used to laugh at it. That is what we become to some degree because football is now lived in in an era of recency bias. You see this in the coverage of the game one match lost and suddenly it's freefall or crisis. One game one and a profound announcement that the team is back and it's ridiculous. It's utterly utterly knee jerk and ridiculous and what that does. In the middle of low end of the table, ultimately the teams are now widgets, not for us as fans. We live and die with them, but most of them at this point are owned by sports equity investors conglomerates and to be clear, many of them have American owners and to be totally totally clear based on conversations I've had with some of these American owners. A number of them have astonishing lack of football history, knowledge, just IQ, like zero understanding of English football. They are utterly terrified by this foreign notion of relegation. First and foremost, the team is an investment, and they will do anything anything to make money off that investment. I mean, ask yourself this, you're in a relegation battle, would you have sold Chris Wood to a relegation rival? If you did not only care about revenue and God, then they look at the money they will lose with relegation around approximately depending, you speak to about $300 million, hence just erratic decisions like see you later Sean dyche. And in terms of the big teams, I should note, the managers there, if they are not sacked after a poor run of form or a European disaster, they leave for different reasons. They almost claps as human beings under the hysterical crucible of the job. They have to be spokespeople, man managers, psychologists, statisticians, tacticians, sports scientists, diplomats, economists, more, and I mean, just that pressure cooker does to Klopp and pep just humanly, incredible things take so much out of them. It is not sustainable. The human can not live like that for more than 5 or 6 years, pep consumes himself almost with the heat of a thousand suns, and every job before city he left after three, four years before he tapped out Klopp. Lasted, I think, was it 7 seasons at Dortmund before his team, tuned him out, they just wilted. It was like watching a souffle claps in the oven. What happened there? And in short, the days had a long-term manager over the days of the dictator long-term manager, like the great great great Bill shankly, the man who built Liverpool into this modern powerhouse, we now watch weekend week out. Who for 15 trophy suit years between 1959 and 1974 lived out his management philosophy which he articulates here. Let's listen to some of the great Bill shankly and his Scottish accent, which may be hard at first listen, but it's worth giving him a good old ear. Here he's asked if he's hard on his players. Well, I'm hard than people in need to be hard. For people who don't need to have that on the very opposite. So there's a balance as you see. I mean, I would be, I think the man needs a who's.

"Incredible sport and director goes to robo really doesn't work. It goes back to severe works again. There are just certain places that people feel able to work. And I think for Unai Emery, I think he was treated quite disrespectfully by a number of fans in a number of not necessarily just asked or fans, but also certain people within the media because of the communication aspect. But this was a guy who turned up for his first press conference and attempted to the best of his ability to answer as much of it in English despite clearly being new to learn in the language. That takes a huge, huge amount of bravery, because communication is a manager, especially when you're coming after someone like us and I think we've talked about this before, so I'm going to keep it brief because I know we're repeating. But ask a mango such an elite communicator. His reputation probably would have benefited from doing the bielsa and the first season pochettino root by just having a translator there and just creating that barrier. I think he tried his best. I don't think he was the best fit. I don't think he's a dreadful manager at all. I think he's a very, very, very accomplished coach. And I think you're seeing this back at via rail and I'm personally just very, very happy for him because I think he got a lot of quite unnecessary and nasty shit thrown at him when he was at arsenal. And the two things can be true, he might not have been the great fit and he might not have been the best arsenal manager, but still I think that it really straight into some territory that I just never really liked of our comfortable with. However, just because he's now got to the Champions League with Villarreal, that doesn't mean that Arteta is a fraud and arsenal should have kept him. Right. Absolutely. That can.

"The next year for around 8 million, a price well within an MLS MLS club price range. Porto sold him to Liverpool for 49 and a half million. Scouting and player evaluation matters. Yeah, I mean, they got it wrong. He would have been in completely. Would not go above 2 million. What would he what would he have done in MLS? I mean, he'd be like the fact he can. Whatever you think Joseph Martinez would have blown that out of the way. He would have led west to it. And for his career, wasn't it good that he skipped that step? He goes straight to Porto. I know he's at Liverpool twice as quick. By the way, Andrew visnovsky, who is got, he's got knowledge of these kind of dealings and stuff like that. I want to talk about another Andrew. Tottenham. Tottenham were in for Diaz. Yeah, I know. And there's this, I don't know if it's a conspiracy theory, but I guess truthers on this will believe that Tottenham's interest in Diaz is what accelerated Liverpool to buy him in January as opposed to waiting till the summer. I think maybe Liverpool's interest in our dears is interested in playing for a really good team, probably accelerated that too as well. He didn't want to wait and go to the Tottenham. He wouldn't know if Tottenham would be in the Champions League or not. He's not going to leave Champions League to go to a team that's not in the Champions League. Last note on this one for me, JJ, just another sign of Liverpool's depth and how good they are, that they can pull Salah and mane off in the 60th. And here comes Jota and Firmino. And it's just like, if you're Benfica, it's just like, God, almighty. When does it end? And it's been the slow kind of like over. Like, that's not a regi coming on anymore. No, over a couple of Windows, Liverpool have. All right, we'll sort the center back. So let's send her back to being fit has helped gorm has been fed Van Dyck being fit and everything. But we'll get Canadian as well. And under the radar, finally slide shakiri out, joy has come in Diaz's command. And the overall picture changes. And that's what's happened. I suppose not to be kid as well, and I'd be curious beginning to hit a bit of form. They're healthy. Big difference. This is what they could be when they're healthy. Didn't feel like that. Last year they were not this time last year. Right. Now they are. Finally, in the Champions League JJ Villarreal and Bayern Munich, I mean, we saved this one for last. It's probably the most stunning result of all of them. Vireo one zero victors over me. It should have been more. They do. They do what Salzburg could not, and they hold on to that one goal lead. Now, in the end for Salzburg, it wouldn't have mattered. We'll see what happens as this goes back to the Allianz arena for the second leg, but nearly two nil, if not for an offside through var on what would have been a gorgeous chip of Neuer. Also unlucky. And Bayern Munich, their Champions League record 22 game road unbeaten streak, snapped, gone. The last home team to defeat Bayern Munich and the Champions League was PSG all the way back in September of 2017. By the way, PSGs manager that night. In 20 and 2017, it was Unai Emery, who was VR ALS manager tonight. Love stuff like that. It gives me goosebumps. Michael Goodman had some interest in tweets on this. Byron didn't really so much missed chances as virile kept them from getting many good ones. That's absolutely true. I think there was the Coleman Ron slid in Lewandowski and Lewandowski just couldn't finish it. 13 of Byron's 22 shots were outside the box. There are somewhere between 65 to 70% of their shots in the box on the season. So keeping them out, Emory is a much better coach than we've ever given them credit for because of what happened at arsenal. It's one of those things where it could have been, I don't know, maybe this isn't fair to say, but arsenal were in a horrible position during that time. It could have been anyone potentially who was managing them during those years. That struggled. It could have been Sir Alex. Who knows? Yeah. I think you're probably right. And the club behind the scenes as we have since found out was in a mess. One thing. Alfonso Davies, great kind of being able to get a good look at him back in the Champions League action. He made one unbelievable block for one of Miranda's chats where he slid in last minute as a Miranda was about to pull the trigger. So good. The recovery that did the sense of danger, brilliant. He may not have been as effective in the opposition penalty box. I mean, he wasn't. He dragged two shots wide, but that was a brilliant and crucial moment for Bayer Munich. Because this should have been much, much worse. They had to pause too, right? Yeah. We'll talk more about Alfonso Davies in a couple minutes from now. Let's see, JJ, before we get to Christian Jack and our Canada in the club, a couple other quickies here, we recorded the other day before the arsenal match, and we were kind of, we were almost dismissive of it. We'll see what happens later today, but in my head, I was kind of thinking arsenal should probably win that. Crystal Palace are fine, but arsenal, there's more at stake. Three nil. They got blasted. Mikhail Arteta afterwards. How about this quote? We weren't at the races today and especially in the first half, we were late to every ball we were soft in the duels and we didn't earn the right to play. From a guy who's not from really that school he's from the Pep Guardiola school, earning the right to play. I haven't heard that one in a while. But that's just where you have to just match them for effort and physicality. Iris blog was saying it was such a depressing result. Just can't have it. I know there's the confluence of injuries with tyranny. Done for the season looks like. Yeah. And probably going to miss Scotland's work or qualifier. It's tough now. It's advantage taught them. It's on now. Tottenham now, I mean, look, there's a lot of games left, but they do control their own destiny. Now, here's the thing about Tottenham. I think one thing that we have now definitively learned. We knew this for a while, but it's worth repeating. One thing we know about this race is that none of these teams are good enough to win all the games that you think they should win. No. Okay, none of them. This ain't the title race. This ain't city in Liverpool who are machines and just beat everybody that's put in front of them. These are flawed teams. And it's honestly, it's what's made this race so much fun because it's the unpredictability of it. Taught them we're dead and buried a month ago. Now they've now they're scoring goals like they're free throws. So that's what's made this fun, but no one should be feeling good. Well, I take that back. Tottenham fans should definitely be feeling good right now because they're scoring a lot of goals they're playing fun brand of football and they've won what is it 5 of their last 6. So certainly feel good. But know that this is not going to be a straight line path to the top four. There are twists and turns all over this battle, which will make it fun. Quickly, we'll get to Christian Jack next, but the thing I was going to bring up to you JJ while we're talking about Tottenham..

"The next year for around 8 million, a price well within an MLS MLS club price range. Porto sold him to Liverpool for 49 and a half million. Scouting and player evaluation matters. Yeah, I mean, they got it wrong. He would have been in completely. Would not go above 2 million. What would he what would he have done in MLS? I mean, he'd be like the fact he can. Whatever you think Joseph Martinez would have blown that out of the way. He would have led west to it. And for his career, wasn't it good that he skipped that step? He goes straight to Porto. I know he's at Liverpool twice as quick. By the way, Andrew visnovsky, who is got, he's got knowledge of these kind of dealings and stuff like that. I want to talk about another Andrew. Tottenham. Tottenham were in for Diaz. Yeah, I know. And there's this, I don't know if it's a conspiracy theory, but I guess truthers on this will believe that Tottenham's interest in Diaz is what accelerated Liverpool to buy him in January as opposed to waiting till the summer. I think maybe Liverpool's interest in our dears is interested in playing for a really good team, probably accelerated that too as well. He didn't want to wait and go to the Tottenham. He wouldn't know if Tottenham would be in the Champions League or not. He's not going to leave Champions League to go to a team that's not in the Champions League. Last note on this one for me, JJ, just another sign of Liverpool's depth and how good they are, that they can pull Salah and mane off in the 60th. And here comes Jota and Firmino. And it's just like, if you're Benfica, it's just like, God, almighty. When does it end? And it's been the slow kind of like over. Like, that's not a regi coming on anymore. No, over a couple of Windows, Liverpool have. All right, we'll sort the center back. So let's send her back to being fit has helped gorm has been fed Van Dyck being fit and everything. But we'll get Canadian as well. And under the radar, finally slide shakiri out, joy has come in Diaz's command. And the overall picture changes. And that's what's happened. I suppose not to be kid as well, and I'd be curious beginning to hit a bit of form. They're healthy. Big difference. This is what they could be when they're healthy. Didn't feel like that. Last year they were not this time last year. Right. Now they are. Finally, in the Champions League JJ Villarreal and Bayern Munich, I mean, we saved this one for last. It's probably the most stunning result of all of them. Vireo one zero victors over me. It should have been more. They do. They do what Salzburg could not, and they hold on to that one goal lead. Now, in the end for Salzburg, it wouldn't have mattered. We'll see what happens as this goes back to the Allianz arena for the second leg, but nearly two nil, if not for an offside through var on what would have been a gorgeous chip of Neuer. Also unlucky. And Bayern Munich, their Champions League record 22 game road unbeaten streak, snapped, gone. The last home team to defeat Bayern Munich and the Champions League was PSG all the way back in September of 2017. By the way, PSGs manager that night. In 20 and 2017, it was Unai Emery, who was VR ALS manager tonight. Love stuff like that. It gives me goosebumps. Michael Goodman had some interest in tweets on this. Byron didn't really so much missed chances as virile kept them from getting many good ones. That's absolutely true. I think there was the Coleman Ron slid in Lewandowski and Lewandowski just couldn't finish it. 13 of Byron's 22 shots were outside the box. There are somewhere between 65 to 70% of their shots in the box on the season. So keeping them out, Emory is a much better coach than we've ever given them credit for because of what happened at arsenal. It's one of those things where it could have been, I don't know, maybe this isn't fair to say, but arsenal were in a horrible position during that time. It could have been anyone potentially who was managing them during those years. That struggled. It could have been Sir Alex. Who knows? Yeah. I think you're probably right. And the club behind the scenes as we have since found out was in a mess. One thing. Alfonso Davies, great kind of being able to get a good look at him back in the Champions League action. He made one unbelievable block for one of Miranda's chats where he slid in last minute as a Miranda was about to pull the trigger. So good. The recovery that did the sense of danger, brilliant. He may not have been as effective in the opposition penalty box. I mean, he wasn't. He dragged two shots wide, but that was a brilliant and crucial moment for Bayer Munich. Because this should have been much, much worse. They had to pause too, right? Yeah. We'll talk more about Alfonso Davies in a couple minutes from now. Let's see, JJ, before we get to Christian Jack and our Canada in the club, a couple other quickies here, we recorded the other day before the arsenal match, and we were kind of, we were almost dismissive of it. We'll see what happens later today, but in my head, I was kind of thinking arsenal should probably win that. Crystal Palace are fine, but arsenal, there's more at stake. Three nil. They got blasted. Mikhail Arteta afterwards. How about this quote? We weren't at the races today and especially in the first half, we were late to every ball we were soft in the duels and we didn't earn the right to play..

"Even Juventus, they're trying to get younger. Obviously, they have love. Keys is injured, but you know, he's not super old. They just had two guys bent in court and kulusevski, who they sold to to talk to them. By your definition, may or may not be a big club in England. So I think it is changing, but the reality of it and the economics of it is that a lot of times these teams want to win straight away and so they rely, I think far too much on veterans on a quick fix, not realizing that those guys then cost you money down the road because they're more expensive. I think we don't have shown that the way forward is by investing money on youth, and you're slowly getting there. And you rent this, I think, are also moving in that direction. But when I look around, yeah, I see a lot of old players, but I also see OC men barely the guys I mentioned before. Pastori, it's not all like that. Stevie why was Ronaldo blame for the events is downfall and they've been beaten by Unai Emery by three goals in Italy. Well, who would blame them? I think we've been a little harsh. Because the truth is certainly that we are sorry. He was brought in for them to win the Champions League. And then the Champions League, he scored goals. He did his job. It was the rest of the team that didn't do the job. So I find it difficult to agree with anybody that is blaming Ronaldo for the problems that you've entered harbin. He did his part, as far as I'm concerned. It has even the easy scapegoat gab. There's.

"Crap. At the back without the discipline of varan, who is actually an intelligent disciplined tactically aware Premier League footballer, they will miss him. I did love by the way. All these quote possible game. He took a lot about Tyson Fury in the run up to the spurs game post this game he said, Cristiano is the leader in the group. I'm sure the Chicago Bulls didn't mind having Michael Jordan. Where he gets this crap from. Sometimes the teams have play as they have. And it's not why they're Manchester United or the Chicago Bulls. You just come up with moments. Manchester United are the worst episode of the last dance. I have ever seen probably with Paul Pogba in the Scottie Pippen roll. But let us dive Dave into the quick Premier League roundup before we take your questions, questions, questions from people who are here as groups, not people. This is the Met in blazey's Premier League news. Okay, rod, let's get let's get to it. It turns out Newcastle may not be getting the new manager they wanted. Meanwhile, Yelp reviews pouring in from the Tottenham lodge where Antonio Conte is no doubt angry about the lack of smoking rooms. Loves, loves a smoke. Oh my goodness, completely spent the first day you think in the tons of training ground staring at the picture many pictures of cigarettes with red lines through them saying, what is the red line? I don't know what that means. Yeah. And very and very concerned about the power of the hairdryers. Yeah, I gave the I gave this. I met Harry Kane. I gave his child his first pack of mental cigarettes. He will thank me later. Newcastle, we should touch base on NFS two fans. We want to talk more in the questions. Unai Emery, old friend. Oh, announced today he will not be arriving on tyneside. This was heavily tipped. He was announcement with imminent, he just could not wait till he knew castle out of their relegation battle yesterday today. He's not coming. And well, all I can say is, you compare the first weeks of pith castle to the first weeks of Manchester City, which you remember well, they won the Brian marwood. And I say Manchester City. Smart football people who did smart strategic football things pith castle just erratic rumors, leaks, which was food I emery, you know, people have spoken to he said, una Mary actually was interested in the job when he couldn't understand was having Newcastle leak his interest on the eve of his team's champion Z game up to him was unforgivable. So erratic rumors leaks. Yeah, unforgiven. Unforgivable. Unforgivable, but unite would be unforgiving. Unforgivable. He loves the disease. You know, all I'd say is, you worry for Newcastle this season you really do. But what I want to talk about, I'm sure there'll be questions in the chat. I mean, bloody hell, David. What are you feeling watching Conte in training with Tottenham, the players say we welcome his intensity? What else are they going to say? Dude sleeping at the training ground, he's looking at those red signs with red lines to cigarettes thinking it means more red zoli and sticking 5 in his goal, but at the same time. I mean, they are preparing to absolutely obliterate evidence on the weekend. That's a given. But first of all, one of them has to realize, what is with Tottenham's strange predilection for former Chelsea managers and delay what you see. Do you feel any emotions at all as a Chelsea fan? Or just as a neutral objective professional journalist, you're like, I like what I see. Look, I think he's a great manager for Tottenham. I think he's exactly what that club needs. I think he's going to just, you know, you know, I'm anticipating. I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm anticipating the inevitable clashes with Daniel Levy that are down the road because he is somebody who wants complete control and he wants his players and he's going to want to rebuild. But I think he's great for the team. And yes, he's going to work them hard. He's going to terrify them a little bit. But when he starts giving it some biff does in the technical area, the fans, the Tottenham fans who, you know, got used to a somewhat passive Nuno. They're going to love it. They're going to love him. Nuno is possibly the most weak and baked Premier League manager of all time. He did not move in that penalty area, and this is team scored. I did love how he hugged all of his assistants. But let's be honest, spurs only scored 9 times. So we didn't really get to see that too much. You know, the reality is, I think the issue we've done allevi is going to be fascinating. I can not stop thinking about the words Conte, spat as he left Juventus. He said, they wanted me to eat out in a €100 restaurant with €10 in my pocket. They weren't delivering in the market. And, you know, you think of owners in the Premier League who love to open their fleshy wallets. And I think spurs are probably 20th out 20 in that department and just that friction there quote gentlemen's understanding to use a random phrase of what Conte thinks will be spent in January and what will, although I do love, you know, he has a good relationship with spurs director.

"Do think Niamey has made us no better team this season question. Mark also your alleges. This is from Danielle. I'm rehabs might offs to bet saying this year by some fantastic into the better against the top side be mentioned United. We saw them beat them the very well Wimbley gets as well. They played well against Liverpool that the Ritz. So I think there are better say against the big size. They've still got one or two defensive issues. But I'm sure I am with a couple of transfer windows will get better plays in that line. I think he's done a very very good job. I thought it almost impossible for anybody coming in awesome after Bangor because he might such a mess of the club in the last few years. So we'll find out. Robo actually on Twitter with the recap. Question star smokescreen. Yeah. Anyway, that they go to the point. Smokescreen star.
