Edit and post. All right. I'm Jarrell Will's here. Christian's here full squad. Today's Thursday May 22nd, 2025. We got things to talk about. We're almost done with the Premier League, sorry to say but still a lot to play for.

Christian 0:47

to fight for. Oh, shit. All right. There it is.

Jerrell 0:49

Yeah. Yeah. You got me? We got FA cup, we got match Day 37 review. We got Europa League. Maybe you watched it. We got a couple more finals. It's, it's championship week, weekend month. I don't know what the fuck's going on. There's, there's still a lot of football left. Don't think it's over guys.

Will 1:06

We're, we're hitting the climax of the season boys.

Jerrell 1:09

we have socials. We have Twitter, blue Sky, Insta. We have a website. We have a Gmail. All three football fellows at everything hit us up. Talk to us. Who wants to gimme the FA Cup review though?

Christian 1:20

It's the year of the birds.

Jerrell 1:23

Yeah.

Christian 1:24

it is. Crystal Palace

Jerrell 1:27

Go Birds. I.

Christian 1:29

Crystal Palace One Zero Over Man City. Hands their team the their first trophy. Shout out to Crystal Palace. One Zero on park the bus situation here, 22%. Possession 1 27 passes. Just enough to get Man City, the loss. And bring home the first trophy. So

Jerrell 1:46

They have enough trophies. Crystal Palace needed it.

Christian 1:50

yeah, yeah, yeah. So shout out to Crystal Palace. Shout out to the Eagles. Shout out Dean Henderson blocking that, that second half penalty. Shout out to, I got a gift. Shout out to the Colombian Connect, Daniel Munoz, who I think one man of the match. With his assist.

Jerrell 2:04

Did he win? Amen to

Will 2:05

essay.

Jerrell 2:06

the match.

Christian 2:06

Oh,

Will 2:07

lit the one who

Christian 2:09

it isn't?

Will 2:09

Yeah. I

Christian 2:10

Well,

Will 2:10

know.

Christian 2:11

he assisted it. He got some good defensive stops at the end. He did have a, a, I

Jerrell 2:16

The palace,

Christian 2:17

called back.

Jerrell 2:18

The palace keeper blocked two penalties.

Will 2:20

He blocked the one.

Christian 2:21

Just one.

Jerrell 2:22

Oh, okay.

Will 2:22

the one that Holland gave to Marmo Henderson saved it. This, of course, that action was after Henderson somehow got away with the red card. But what is a red card?

Jerrell 2:33

Is that the one where he seemed to have reached out of the box to

Christian 2:36

It wasn't going towards goal, man. It wasn't,

Jerrell 2:40

i'm, I'm just asking questions.

Will 2:42

in that situation was the classical a couple weeks ago, where Christian just saw me. He was just like I was just, I just, I just don't know, bro. I just, I just don't know. So now we're seeing it in another league, but yeah. But outside of that, Dean Henderson great game. And the buildup to their goal. Early in the first half 10% of their passes were done right there in the buildup to the goal, to the top, to talk about optimizing your chances, being aware of what you have to do to get a result. Speaking about the last co last week leading up to this, how palace was able to jump on a lead on Citi, but then blew their most recent fixture, but showed that could get out in them, but winning their first major trophy, and that's huge. That's huge for Glasner and what they're able to do and considering the start of their season. Well deserved, deserved.

Jerrell 3:21

I saw 20 minutes of this match. I was on the plane, I logged in to get the free wifi. They gave me 20 minutes. This is where I went, the FA cup final. So I got to see the the little swat from Henderson and Holland was trying to get past him. I saw what led up to the penalty and I saw the penalty miss, and I'm just like, this is the best 20 minutes ever. I think this is all I need. And then it went away and I was like, shit, I was trying to get my girlfriend's free wifi and it didn't work.

Christian 3:50

Used it up.

Jerrell 3:51

She did, she went on TikTok.

Will 3:53

Jesus, is for work.

Jerrell 3:56

Yeah. Yeah.

Christian 3:58

Does she not support her dreams

Jerrell 4:00

From afar.

Christian 4:02

from afar? 20. But yeah, man, Sydnee back to back. Couple losses. I think they they lost to Man U last year,

Will 4:08

they've made it to the last three finals. Bad luck over the last two years, and look at them, claim something before the season, but no trophies. This this season cut headed to the citizens

Jerrell 4:17

There were children crying, man, city fans, crying that they weren't getting a trophy, and I was just like, really? Really? Five year olds know nothing but trophies and they're crying.

Will 4:28

can't, I can't tell if this is from a place of analysis or from hurt, but, I,

Jerrell 4:32

This is from a place of observation. Fuck those kids.

Christian 4:36

fans have been fans for less than five years,

Will 4:38

and you saw that them trying to Okay. Christian. so yeah, and this kind of feels kind of like the final piece of just like obviously man city, a team in like heavy transition. A lot of rumored alls outside of Kevin de Brun. I have questions about Ish's future and other pieces there. And so this summer,'cause I don't, I have to actually read into just if we're expecting anything to come of the charges coming against them you expect them to keep trying to retool despite the signings they did in winter for OV and. Marmo and was Vito Rice and whatnot. Should be exciting to see how man city retools especially over the last, what, 12, 13 years, they're not a team to really sit on their laurels if they have the opportunity to splash some cash. But Crystal Palace just what a huge result you lose, like probably your best player, Michael Elise say last summer. You start off really tough. I think. They were on relegation watch for the first quarter of the season it felt

Jerrell 5:29

Yeah.

Will 5:29

And then being able to come through this, this, this competition. It's like a, very prestigious competition obviously in Europe. And collect their first trophy considering just like they're always rumored with players out. I'm sure as they's gonna have people knocking at his door. Mark Gay. He's been rumored to leave since like last year's zeros and whatnot. Good for them to get this moment, Glassner coming in and season. He is able to get this resolved and hopefully they can use this to as a platform to continue to build on their success.

Jerrell 5:56

Yeah, huge. Crystal Palace getting to compete in the Europa League. Next year. So

Will 6:04

whoa.

Jerrell 6:05

very exciting. And apparently Premier League teams have good success in the Europa League. So yeah, we knew what the final matchup was gonna be.

Christian 6:16

whether we wanted it or not.

Jerrell 6:18

Yeah, definitely didn't. All right. Match day 37. I'll go ahead and jump into it. We had Villa and Spurs in the lead up to their final. The Spurs decided not to score any goals against Aston Villa.

Will 6:30

think they decided not

Jerrell 6:32

They just, no. They straight up decided not to.

Will 6:34

tried their best. UNG came back late in the second

Jerrell 6:37

Spurs blinked in the past two match days. All right.

Will 6:42

Oh my fault, chief.

Jerrell 6:43

Yeah.

Will 6:44

And then how'd the other team in the Europe will find to do in their

Jerrell 6:46

United also decided to, to not score goals in their last two fixtures as well.

Will 6:51

decisions were made.

Jerrell 6:52

Yeah. And Chelsea wins that 1, 1 0. Everton takes care of Southampton two zero Southampton also not scoring goals still.

Will 7:00

A theme.

Jerrell 7:00

yeah. The hammers fall to Nottingham Forest. Forest really needed this win. Winning two, one. Brentford lose their Westland and Derby to Fullham three, two. After Fullham made a comeback, Lester City scores two over Ipswich Town Arsenal Beats New Castle one Zero. We'll get into that one and Brighton beat Liverpool. Three, two, Brighton having to comeback over the Champions to win that match. We also had in the midweek, crystal Palace and Wolves, crystal Palace, celebrating their victory. They said, why not score four more goals? They beat.

Will 7:34

with the brace,

Jerrell 7:35

They,

Will 7:36

the hail in. Shout out.

Jerrell 7:38

they beat the wolves. Four, two, and Manchester City after their hangover beat up the cherries. Three, one. Any, let's go, let's get into these matches. Exciting matches for you guys.

Will 7:50

Lester. Jamie have already placed his last game. They want his last game to be at home. He his 500th appearance for the foxes. And he scores his 200th goal, their first goal of the game to propel them a huge win over ips, such sound. It might not have mattered to anyone else, but they

Christian 8:05

It mattered to them, Dan.

Will 8:08

mattered to Christian

Jerrell 8:09

Yeah. When you, when you were like track boys and the chow's, are they winning?

Will 8:14

bro, that was crazy. I was like, did has the Saudi tractor boys on his car just,

Christian 8:19

Their emblem actions say tractor,

Will 8:21

no, no, you're, you're, you're accurate. I was just looking for. The Ipswich boys, but obviously Jamie Vedi probably like the best player for the foxes in their modern era. Not sure where he is gonna be going after after the season, but getting a able to sign off on a win

Jerrell 8:36

Coming to the MLS.

Will 8:38

You're already here first. And especially considering just that's. Premier League winner, Jamie Vedi there as well. So shout out Jamie Vedi. Great season, great, great career with the team and wish him good fortunes in the future if he's

Jerrell 8:50

How,

Will 8:50

reason listening to us right now.

Jerrell 8:51

how old is Vardy? 36.

Christian 8:53

game, I think, I believe Sunday was actually 13 years to the day he joined the Foxes.

Jerrell 8:58

Wow.

Will 8:59

day.

Jerrell 9:00

Poetic.

Christian 9:01

on stats on, on this one. Shout out to Jimmy Bardy. He's, he is been a historic player. You remember a few years what was it, 20 15, 16, 17. When those years when er actually flipped the cup. Bardy was a big part of that. Yeah. Bardy was a big part of that. He's definitely been a historic player for them. And yeah. Can't wait to see him retiring in the MLS

Jerrell 9:19

Not confirmed.

Christian 9:20

Oh yeah. Knock Co.

Will 9:21

your source? I got, I got a guy. I got a

Christian 9:23

A gut.

Jerrell 9:24

Yeah, a magic eight ball right here.

Will 9:27

Outside of that huge result for Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest was able to come back against Westham. They score two goals. Goals from Morgan, Gibbs White and Kovich. Don't remember your name right now. Sorry about that. And then on the flip side, Chelsea got a late goal from Cuco on Friday against Manchester United one. Oh. So that's gonna set up a showdown on Sunday between them to determine who probably has a chance whoever wins that game. it to some type of

Jerrell 9:53

It's match of the week right there.

Will 9:54

yeah, that's gonna be the biggest, the only, match between two teams within that qualifying space. Spaces third to seven separated by three point City look relatively good. The only way they

Jerrell 10:07

We just need to draw.

Will 10:08

miss out on UCL is they have to lose. Yep. And then Village Chelsea Newcastle need to win. So city becomes a nine ham forest fin. All things considered this weekend it looks like, or praying for a draw at the very least.

Jerrell 10:21

Indeed arsenal finally got one over on Newcastle.

Will 10:25

Fuck'em.

Jerrell 10:26

Yeah.

Will 10:27

I was never

Christian 10:27

Never worried.

Will 10:28

They blissed the fuck out of us in the first half though, actually. And shout Dera.'cause they had,

Christian 10:32

I had a pretty solid game.

Will 10:34

Four clear chances really look like they were gonna score, but now they know how it feels.

Jerrell 10:40

Yeah. But they have a trophy this year.

Will 10:42

Jesus.

Jerrell 10:43

yeah. Declan Rice secures the second position for Arsenal. It is the third year in a row. Arsenal has finished. Second. Does this second place finish hurt more than the other two?

Will 10:54

the first one didn't hurt for me just because the goal that year was really to make Champions League. It sucked down then, but you could see that the depth was coming in year, went down to the last day. It, it, it sucked, but we finished strong, so that one didn't hurt so much. This one didn't hurt so much for me from the point of, oh, we finished second. It hurt in January. Just that it was just, it's that investment we're missing. So this one might hurt the most all things considered, but as long as the proper investment, all signs look towards it. Or made for next year. I think next year's gonna be a year where it's just bro, give me something.

Jerrell 11:31

And there's a lot of rumors going around about who could be coming in.

Will 11:35

boy,

Christian 11:35

I was like, I'm ready for another second place.

Jerrell 11:38

We won't do it this episode. It might be tweeted by the intern, but we're not gonna do it this episode.

Will 11:43

we're, I'm just saying we're seeing progress. I know FA Cup and Carrabelle, they bounced out, but they look like more of a threat in UCL. They still haven't lost to the traditional Power six. We might have to reinvestigate what a Power six really means considering where some, some, some of these teams finished

Christian 11:58

Power four.

Will 11:58

But we still haven't lost, I think in like our last 16 against any of those. So even Liver Plus Good. They were, we were able to come back last week down to at Anfield. So I'm just kind of like, there's good things there. There's things that have to be worked on. There's a little bit flexibility of tactics. I'm giving up game control, but I think we're seeing a little bit more fluidity by design like Marino having to play up high and just kind of like flirting with some of the youths, the MLS debut this season more into an area this year. So all things in, happy to come in second, but know, we'll, we'll we'll clean it up next year and next year's our year C clip that

Jerrell 12:34

Okay. I.

Christian 12:35

Yeah.

Will 12:36

or Soon powering.

Christian 12:37

has also started out without Esoc this game. Do you think that would've made any difference? Stats on, on, on. You're

Jerrell 12:44

the jerseys look? How did the New Jerseys look? New tits?

Will 12:48

All right. They're clean as fuck. Christian's

Christian 12:49

I don't like them.

Will 12:50

side and them shit's

Jerrell 12:51

Yeah.

Will 12:52

I like,

Christian 12:52

I, I saw them,

Will 12:53

than this year's.

Christian 12:54

In, I went to Adidas store in New York City and I looked at'em'cause they, they had'em brand new

Jerrell 12:59

Did you, did you stare hard?

Christian 13:00

them. I stared really hard. Yeah. Yeah. I, I looked at'em. I many a's too ma

Jerrell 13:06

Too many a's

Will 13:07

many, a's is weird to me, but

Christian 13:09

Yeah. No, I wasn't a fan.

Will 13:11

like, I don't like the, A's I looked at it, I was just like, Emirates.

Jerrell 13:16

That's all right. They still have'em in away. In a third kit. Maybe you can get the keeper.

Will 13:19

think I

Christian 13:20

Get the keeper.

Will 13:20

kit, actually.

Jerrell 13:22

the rumored third kit, so we'll rank all those. Beige color off white.

Will 13:27

oh shit. I can't wait for the

Christian 13:28

Wait, what?

Will 13:29

drip episode.

Jerrell 13:30

Yeah, it's

Will 13:32

do, we're gonna do awards right as well for the season.

Jerrell 13:35

if we want to, yeah,

Will 13:36

I jumping? I, I think the people are clamming for it, and I think we have to give the people what they want.

Jerrell 13:42

sure, sure, sure, sure. We'll do that.

Christian 13:43

the third kid? I'm, I, I just doing a quick

Jerrell 13:46

Are you on the footing once? I don't wanna do the quick, I don't wanna get too distracted. I.

Will 13:52

I'm gonna let Christian carry on with that. If he drops in the chat, he drops in the chat.

Christian 13:55

I'm.

Will 13:56

outside of that villa as we said, a big one over top. Hot Spur. Their last game is gonna be against Manchester United next week. Brentford as Jre me mentioned earlier, they they blew two leads. But from Fullham, Tom Kerney, captain of Fullham he was able to get the equalizer in the 68th and Harry Wilson scored his third goal against the bees to finish the comeback. A game that was really unkind to Brentford, considering xg but fool'em doing what it takes to get three points, move them into 10th and probably screwing the bees out of Europe it looks like. I'm

Jerrell 14:30

but the, the eighth position,

Will 14:33

Yeah.

Jerrell 14:33

position, European qualification is such a long shot, to be honest. Christian, I put the link to the third kit in the comment section.

Will 14:43

Professionals,

Jerrell 14:44

Yes.

Will 14:45

Ooh, Liverpool. buzzsprout. Do football

Jerrell 14:49

Oh, not that website. I'm sorry. On, on our, on our streaming where we're recording. It's down there in the comments.

Will 14:55

in my face. They blew a goal lead to Brighton. Jack Kingswood super sub. He

Jerrell 15:01

Super annoying

Will 15:03

The, huh

Jerrell 15:05

that Brighton got the wind there.

Will 15:06

Yeah, so Liverpool just continued to say, fuck it, I, I got mine already. And then as JLL said, crystal Palace, they were able to get that brace from him and Ketia, they continued their celebrations into the week. Riding the high, looking to finish strong. We'll, I guess we'll jump into that a little bit, but they'll fi

Jerrell 15:21

cherries played the, played themselves outta Europe, which is tragic.

Will 15:26

They had a good run.

Jerrell 15:27

They did.

Will 15:28

They had a good run

Jerrell 15:29

It could have been better.

Christian 15:30

That's.

Jerrell 15:31

It definitely could have been better.

Will 15:33

I think it's better than any of us assumed they do, so yeah. Yeah. So they, I'll never forget cherries cherries and Nottingham Forest sitting top four on the table and me being like, what the fuck is going on? Or up to you. But yeah. And then, yeah, Everton they said goodbye to Goodes in park. NDIA, he gets a brace. 2,791 games played at Goodison Park for Everton, the

Christian 15:54

Ooh.

Will 15:56

as they go through the new park. If you follow the Women's League. Because it's not the NWSL. I talked to Christian about this. It's the Barclays Women's Premier League or some shit. It's fine. The super,

Christian 16:09

Hmm.

Will 16:09

League, sorry. They will be playing, the Everton women's team will be playing at Goodes in Parks. So you can still go. Just the Toffees men's team

Jerrell 16:18

Oh, for go into the future

Christian 16:21

Do you know if Molly Bushels is still making it to the new park?

Will 16:26

of course.

Christian 16:27

Good

Jerrell 16:27

She has to.

Christian 16:28

of Molly bushels, bro.

Will 16:29

can't, can't wait for us to speed run and us go through all the team names. We'll do we're just gonna do an episode where we do 2020 team names in their origins just so we can finish that loop Finally. It's yeah, we were doing a bit early on, we got bored of it, but now we're gonna give it all to you. So drill's, coughing'cause it's a terrible idea and

Christian 16:47

Yeah, it started really hot with Molly bushels and it just slowly went downhill.

Will 16:52

I just wanted to know the wolves, bro.

Jerrell 16:54

I,

Will 16:55

we

Jerrell 16:55

I got brentford. I was, good

Will 16:57

good read. We also had a Europa League final. match of everyone wanted to

Jerrell 17:03

God, I hope you didn't watch it.

Will 17:06

Jesus, we had spurs, we had Manchester, United, and the most rubber rubbery of rubber games ever. Spurs win a trophy their first in 17 years. They win one

Jerrell 17:18

ECOG glue is not a liar.

Will 17:20

Mancha, bro. Hey, that quote, going

Christian 17:22

A

Jerrell 17:22

Yeah, no, definitely got that trophy.

Will 17:25

My second season, him and son, I might have cried a couple times watching his interviews. He shouted out Harry Ka. He's look, Harry, you won one too. God, I love him. I hate that Spearer shit. But yeah, it was, it was a really scrappy game. Uneven game. And then Spurs, you saw they took a lead behind Brendan Johnson in the first half. And they played opposite of how they've been playing in the league a lot with their high lines. Spurs actually covering the most sub one of the higher ground covering teams in the league. I don't know if that contributes to their injuries this season or just bad luck or a mixture of,

Jerrell 17:54

So many hamstrings.

Will 17:56

Yeah. They literally parked the bunch against Manchester United. They get the result and they were like, Hey, Manchester, do you have anything to create? nah. Ameren said, fuck Gar. Nacho said, bro, why didn't you play me? And this spurs all your Europa League final champions.

Jerrell 18:13

have the potential to finish 14th, this campaign if they can win.

Christian 18:19

If they went out.

Will 18:20

just saying one of Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa will not be making Champions League. Do you know who will be making Champions League? It

Jerrell 18:29

The Tottenham Hot Spurs.

Will 18:32

second team to qualify.

Jerrell 18:33

Tom Holland is so happy right now.

Will 18:36

team. Third team to qualify because I think

Jerrell 18:38

Tom Holland is a Spurs fan. Yeah,

Will 18:40

him.

Christian 18:41

Yeah.

Will 18:42

I don't know if you watch ww, he's a Sprint fan as well, so

Christian 18:45

you guys mentioned, this was not a fun game to watch. I took my job seriously and I went to a local Red Devil sports bar for 30 minutes during my lunch break.

Jerrell 18:54

Yes.

Christian 18:55

Yeah.

Will 18:56

I saw that little bastard from when we watched the Arsenal game a

Christian 18:59

Yeah.

Will 18:59

back. I was just like, so you checked ID for everyone here. But that 8-year-old gets to

Christian 19:04

Yeah.

Will 19:05

everyone.

Christian 19:06

No, that shit was fucking packed. My cousin's a Manu fan, so he was not having a good time, but I was just there watching. And then when Brendan scored, did they give Brendan the goal or'cause that

Jerrell 19:16

It was his goal. Yes,

Will 19:17

Yeah.

Jerrell 19:18

his

Christian 19:18

off of Luke Shaw. I don't know how, but anyways

Will 19:23

let'em can

Jerrell 19:24

him have it.

Will 19:24

them,

Christian 19:25

yeah.

Will 19:25

flowers, bro. It's a flower episode.

Christian 19:27

was just not a fun f fun, fun game to watch. Spur had a, a few fast break chances where they could have scored, but at the end they just showed why they're 17th in the table. It, it was just nothing that get excited for. A little se sad note here. Oh, no, no. It's not having a good, good time. It's his third European final and his third European loss finals

Jerrell 19:51

Someone check on this man.

Christian 19:52

Yeah.

Will 19:53

Cast Romero's perfect streak in in European finals is broken as well. Won five with vent loses his first one with Manchester United, even though he said, Hey, the vibe's on this one, or My favorite apparently. Yeah, that was

Jerrell 20:06

Man United was un unbeaten in the entire tournament,

Christian 20:11

Mm-hmm.

Jerrell 20:11

league tournament up until the final.

Will 20:14

a thing where it came to investment for the teams. They played in the buildup to it, and Manchester United had made their, they had spent more money on their squad than all the teams they played in the lead up to, the final, like

Jerrell 20:27

Even athletic club,

Will 20:29

yeah, yeah. Athletic club. It

Jerrell 20:31

they don't spend Oh,

Will 20:32

They, no, yeah, they, because they're bass country, so it's all like local recruitment

Jerrell 20:36

hmm.

Will 20:36

Spurs, they were slightly done up. We'll probably maybe we'll talk about it over the summer, just like what that bolstering means and just kind of like, even for as bad as Manchester United bid we're our, we're their run up through Europa League and Spurs as well. Being able to go through Europe and what that really means for other teams like Crystal Palace

Jerrell 20:53

What does it mean for Amarin?

Will 20:55

I, I think apparently he's good. He's not at risk for his job. I think that's the right decision. As long as I feel like give him the full season and

Jerrell 21:04

Give him half a season.

Christian 21:05

sure.

Will 21:06

if they give, I, there's other issues that come up from it though, just because Manchester United, no, UCL next year they have some variables with I forgot if it was like through Nike or whoever their kit maker is, I have to

Jerrell 21:17

Adidas.

Will 21:18

on that at Adidas, I had to read more on that leg, but there's gonna be like a$60 million like pound hole in their accounts leading into next season since they didn't qualify

Jerrell 21:27

Because their ass. Wow, that's tough.

Will 21:29

I

Christian 21:29

That's crazy.

Will 21:31

'cause they're trash.

Christian 21:32

Unbiased.

Will 21:34

and of course this is on the

Jerrell 21:35

They did finish 16th,

Will 21:36

aMM had to pay for staff to even go to the Europa League file with all the cuts they're doing and other positions not being taken care of. And I think they just got a D again. Like their food offerings at Old Trafford because they found like animal droppings in one of the food areas or whatnot. So the vibes are not great is all I'm saying.

Christian 21:57

In Manchester.

Will 21:58

out, shout out, spray shout post Colu. We kept on joking throughout most of the season until we just felt bad and we just stopped talking about them so much. It was like 17th about oh, I guess he wins a trophy somewhere. They lost some of that semi, semi right to Newcastle, I think.

Jerrell 22:11

Mm-hmm.

Will 22:11

that's a lie. They lost in the

Jerrell 22:13

Car or FA,

Will 22:15

And but he

Jerrell 22:16

the opportunities were dwindling, but he always had one.

Will 22:19

And as always, anytime I talk about, shout to via'cause they've won the competition seven times. The next closest three. So shout to Via the Kings of the Europa.

Christian 22:30

Where does Avi say fall in this year? Europa.

Will 22:35

Hmm. Were they, I

Jerrell 22:37

Yes.

Christian 22:37

Oh no they didn't.'cause they won last one. So they were in the, in the champion. That's,

Jerrell 22:41

So they fell in the champion league.

Christian 22:43

bird. The Cockrell, Tottenham year of the birds. Another pl bird.

Jerrell 22:50

go Birds.

Will 22:52

Yeah. I just loved it for for son, honestly,

Christian 22:56

No, that's the only I, I didn't want any, like I said, like I didn't want any of this verses to win except son. Son de deserves a trophy. He's been there for how long?

Will 23:04

Harry McGuire and Romero getting into it, even though Harry McGuire more seemed to be chasing down uti,

Christian 23:10

Yeah.

Will 23:11

the whistle, I'm just like, it'd be like that sometimes. But yeah. Good. All around fun times. So you're up a league

Jerrell 23:17

Yeah.

Will 23:18

what do we, what, what do we have coming up

Jerrell 23:20

Yeah,

Will 23:21

outside of the league competitions?

Jerrell 23:23

we have English football Champion promotion final against Chef Sheffield, United verse Sunderland.

Will 23:30

Do

Jerrell 23:30

Now leads in Bern have already been promoted, so this will determine the last spot. Who takes Lester City spot or the other way around? Southampton Spot. I don't know who we got. But even Ipswich Town, they could take Ipswich town's spot for all I care.

Will 23:48

they're taking spots.

Jerrell 23:49

Just take'em all

Will 23:51

I'm not super familiar with Sunderland's game and I know of Sheffield United, but I'm not gonna pretend to be super well versed, but for the sake of variety and

Christian 24:00

I'm gonna go with.

Will 24:01

seeing a different team. I'm gonna root for Sunderland just'cause Yeah, Sheffield came, you

Christian 24:06

Too many Uniteds already.

Jerrell 24:08

United. They fall.

Christian 24:10

Too many Uniteds.

Will 24:12

but my, who I'm rooting for can be bought, hit us up on socials. Hit us' up on an email, I'll post, I'll, I'll buy a fucking jersey.

Jerrell 24:19

State your claim

Will 24:20

if, the numbers end up in one team's favor or the other yeah.

Christian 24:24

I'd buy the I, I'd buy the jersey if it's a nice jersey.

Will 24:27

That's

Jerrell 24:28

too many a's

Will 24:29

Too many a's,

Christian 24:31

To maze.

Will 24:32

too many Uniteds.

Jerrell 24:33

it is a Germany Cup. I don't know anything about this.

Will 24:35

Ah yes, the German Cup final. I'm coming back for it. The bowl call Final, we got Stu Guard versus third tier Armenia Fel. I should

Jerrell 24:43

What is, so what is this? Like a Copa Re or

Will 24:47

think of it just

Jerrell 24:47

Supercopa.

Will 24:48

Yeah, FA cup equivalent

Jerrell 24:50

okay.

Will 24:51

So the story's there, they're, they won through the third tier. I think they beat. Byron on the way up to, or lever keys, I forgot who on the, on the buildup to this. Yeah, I'm, I'm a, I'm a Armenia Feld fan this Sunday,

Jerrell 25:05

You gonna buy their jersey?

Will 25:06

Saturday, 2:00 PM c if they win and it's in stock anywhere, sure. Why the fuck not,

Jerrell 25:11

I don't even know who. I don't even know who makes the kit.

Will 25:14

I maybe I'll have more information when I'm celebrating next week as I have my fucking champagne flute. My Bill Fel crown. And just a shirt. No pants.

Jerrell 25:22

Wow. He's gonna win. He, he's gonna win you the poit for the podcast.

Will 25:26

It's crazy. And then we also have the UECL final for next week, Chelsea versus re bento.

Jerrell 25:34

This does have implications for qualification, but yes. Chelsea or does, does Anthony get a trophy? Does he also get a trophy

Will 25:43

please. Goat to me, refer to my goat

Jerrell 25:45

gook? To me, it's gook to me. Do you guys favor

Christian 25:51

what

Jerrell 25:51

you wanting this?

Christian 25:52

getting? Do they get the Europa League birth or

Jerrell 25:54

They move up. Yeah, they move up to the Europa League.

Will 25:57

hell yeah. I'm rooting for Betis

Christian 25:59

I'm, I'm.

Will 26:00

vibe's there immaculate. And

Jerrell 26:03

You seem to have fun over there.

Will 26:05

they have a good time. I think Chelsea outspent the entirety of the competition. That they're playing for. So I'm rooting for the Under Go Rail Betis. I think that was like something coming into it. And I think it'd just be funny if Chelsea just didn't come through somehow, even though they've been playing some of their best football this season over the last couple years. Yeah, I'm gonna go Betis, I'm, it'll probably be Chelsea, but I'm gonna go Betis.

Christian 26:27

Yeah, I'm rooting for Betis on this one. Two reasons. I've been following Ccho for a very long time, so I'm a, I'm a big

Jerrell 26:33

Oh yes, I forget.

Christian 26:34

N not, this is not just like a, a, a random like Colombian connection. I've, I've literally been following Ccho even when he played for like I've always thought he's been a, he's been a solid, solid player before he was even in the MLS, and he destroyed our dreams. Orlando City's dreams last year. He played European soccer. He, he had a cheetah netha when he played for Watford. He's a solid, solid player and I'm hoping this game, if he goes off, he can get called up to the national team because he, he hasn't been called up to the national team. I think he definitely deserves it. And two, have y'all seen the na rudo jerseys?

Jerrell 27:08

No, I haven't.

Christian 27:10

They're so nice.

Jerrell 27:11

Does he, he starts, he starts for betis.

Christian 27:15

Yeah, he does.

Jerrell 27:16

Nice.

Christian 27:18

They plucked them this last

Jerrell 27:20

Over the summer, right?

Christian 27:21

Yeah.

Jerrell 27:22

Yeah.

Will 27:23

I need to look at more. There's, is Hector Bellarine still there? I don't think he is actually. Anthony

Jerrell 27:28

We also have Champions League final, but we're not gonna get into that this episode because we are still one than a week away. But that is inverse PSG, and that will happen on May 31st. Who was even the preview of the last match day

Will 27:45

final countdown.

Jerrell 27:48

where all the games matter.

Will 27:50

I got you bro. Match day 38. Preview is the last one. I get to sleep after this match day. I read We have an episode next week, right? Drill

Jerrell 27:59

Yeah.

Will 28:00

The following week. I will sleep match 8 38 we have Burn With versus Lyce City. Fullham versus Manchester City, Ipswich Town versus Westham United Christian. Did detractor boys ride one last time? Okay.

Jerrell 28:15

A yes.

Will 28:16

versus Crystal I'm just moving past it. Manchester United Play, Aston Villa, Manchester United there's no way they lose again at home. Newcastle United takes on Everton.

Jerrell 28:26

The food's not good.

Will 28:27

Forest, the Freaky Forest. Can my boys bring it home? The Tricky Trees play the Blues at Home. Game of the Leak. Southampton versus Arsenal. Southampton. I'm so sorry. Todd M. Hot River versus Brighton. And then we have the wolves versus the busy motherfucking bees. Brentford guys, what are we looking forward to this week?

Jerrell 28:46

We got clinching scenarios.

Will 28:48

Oh fuck.

Christian 28:49

Yeah. It.

Will 28:49

activated my trap card.

Jerrell 28:51

Yeah.

Will 28:53

Ah,

Jerrell 28:53

Champions League, fun, fun stuff. Liverpool Arsenal and taught them. They're already in guys. We know it. They, they're, they're out there. They're, they're playing. They're having a good time. Of course, yeah.

Will 29:03

ham

Jerrell 29:03

Taught them just

Will 29:04

in a UCL spot.

Jerrell 29:06

just not in the spot we thought they would be in.

Will 29:10

Hey, I'm not about journeys, I'm about conclusions, bro. I, once

Jerrell 29:12

No, of course. Sitting in third place, we have Man City, they just need a draw and they'll clench their, they'll punch their ticket to the Champions League. Newcastle and Chelsea, they're both winning in. As long as they take care of business, they will be in the Champions League. We have Ashton Villa who's sitting in sixth place, currently sitting in the Europa League spot. They have, they can make it to the Champions League. They need to win.

Will 29:34

and they have to win by outscored Chelsea's goal differential by at least 12.

Jerrell 29:39

And Chelsea and or Newcastle lose.

Will 29:44

That's fair too.

Jerrell 29:45

Yes.

Will 29:46

of the improbable. I was like that 14 gold victory puts them over New Castle. Yeah.

Jerrell 29:51

No.'cause they're tied with points with Chelsea, right? Yeah. So if they win, if Chelsea loses and Yeah. Yeah, they win, they make it back to the Champions League and they had a decent run this year something they wanna get back there. They could also make it if they draw and Newcastle loses. So regardless of what the Chelsea result is, if they end up drawing, they're praying for a new castle loss. Crystal Palace is in the Europa League with their FA cup win. Eagles Go Birds in our conference league. Newcastle is there already because of the Caribou Cup. But Nottingham Forest holds the last spot for conference league. They can move into champions League with a win over Chelsea. So there'll be a flip there.

Will 30:29

I am a Fan this

Jerrell 30:30

I'm sorry. They'll move into Europa League. They'll move into Europa League with the win over Chelsea because if Villa still wins or draws, then they can't make it to Champions league. They can make it to Champions league with the win over Chelsea and Villa loses her draws.

Will 30:43

Chelsea, only a three day rest. I'm just saying, I'm just trying to speak into existence.

Christian 30:47

I believe it,

Jerrell 30:48

Hey, we'll see what happens. Brighton is the first team looking in. There can be 10 total teams. In European play next season, how does that work? Brighton, they just have to win. Chelsea has to lose and Chelsea has to win the conference league, so Chelsea has to lose the Nottingham force and then win the conference league for Brighton to make it into the conference league next season.

Will 31:09

So you're

Jerrell 31:10

But

Will 31:10

a chance.

Jerrell 31:11

is a chance and there's one team in the hunt sitting at nine Brentford who

Will 31:15

like, do they have a

Jerrell 31:16

kinda shot themselves in the foot losing the Fulham, but Brentford Brentford has to win. Brighton has to lose, Chelsea has to lose the forest, and then Chelsea has to win the conference league, and Brentford could be in the conference league next year. And those are all our scenarios.

Will 31:33

get really hungover, celebrating, and then lose on Sunday, their UCL load and then Brentford can jump bright in. They just need brighten to, it's easy. It's so easy. It

Jerrell 31:43

It's easy. The writing is on the wall. Yeah.

Will 31:47

Matter of fact, I'm gonna buy you the B'S UECL

Christian 31:50

that's funny.

Will 31:50

right? Right

Jerrell 31:51

I can't wait.

Will 31:53

it's

Christian 31:53

He's

Jerrell 31:53

They got a new

Christian 31:54

UECL

Jerrell 31:55

got a new kit supplier next year.

Will 31:56

As I got there at one 30, right when the game's at, show up at your door.

Jerrell 32:01

so a lot to play for a lot of interesting matches. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Does Chelsea make it in, guys?

Will 32:09

All

Jerrell 32:09

Newcastle make it in? Oh, they gotta win. They need the three points.

Will 32:12

we we'll, I guess we could talk about off camera. I was like, do we wanna do what we did last year where we watch all the games at the same time just to see what the fuck happens even though our is arsenal's pretty much set, or lemme

Jerrell 32:23

Yeah, we'll talk about it.

Christian 32:24

trees Game.

Will 32:26

Yeah, but it, I figured that had that as the main one with all the other nine games around it just to be like, oh, okay. There goes Newcastle, Newcastle selling to the toffees. Oh, I want it so bad. Fuck'em. But outside of that and any other games you guys wanna talk about in regards to this?

Jerrell 32:42

Orlando Cities out the US Open Cup. They lost the Nashville last night.

Christian 32:46

a handball.

Jerrell 32:47

Yeah. They don't have VAR, so whatever.

Will 32:50

It

Christian 32:50

that ref. That ref was bought

Will 32:52

I don't know. I didn't see it.

Jerrell 32:53

yeah. Yeah, that ref had a lot of the, the ref gave away two corner kicks, called them goal kicks as well. So I don't know. It was crazy. I just don't think Orlando City should have given up three goals to a heavily rotate Nashville squad. But that's MLS for you.

Christian 33:08

with the own goal.

Jerrell 33:10

Yes.

Will 33:11

I have scored another. Hmm. Why is he still there?

Jerrell 33:16

But anyways, that's it for our episode.

Christian 33:19

good and then you, he has moments where you're just like, oh yeah,

Will 33:22

I,

Christian 33:22

this is why

Will 33:23

his

Christian 33:23

pisses me off.

Will 33:24

is just that he's not fucking up, but it's

Jerrell 33:26

He's not consistent.

Will 33:27

He's, he,

Jerrell 33:28

I.

Will 33:28

a penalty in the playoffs or he saved a

Christian 33:30

That was a fucking moment. Yeah.

Will 33:32

Yeah. So I

Christian 33:33

We saw it live.

Will 33:35

fuck, fuck, fuck my life up for the, for until he's, he

Christian 33:38

Yeah.

Jerrell 33:39

Yeah.

Will 33:41

any thanks or anything you guys wanna show out? Shout out guys.

Christian 33:45

Thank you

Jerrell 33:45

Christian 33:52

That's

Jerrell 33:52

Consider it stolen.

Will 33:53

Christian 33:58

I wanna thank you guys for being here, for showing up for camaraderie on Mondays.

Will 34:03

Look at us. Who would've thought, who would've thought guys that we'd

Will 34:34

Christian 34:35

Heat strokes a thing.

Will 34:36

Last week.

Jerrell 34:37

Oh, for sure.

Christian 34:37

Heat stroke was a thing. Yeah.

Will 34:39

Will 34:42

No, good for you man. Good for you. I was like, they

On the other spectrums, like you don't want it enough.

Will 34:48

Jerrell 34:49

How dare you? I did have my, I I, I went to the clinic. I had my bag in my car and I was just like, I'll, I'll go over there. I swear to God, I'll play.
