Answers. They're not here. The 50th, the 50 piece chicken nugget.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 0:06

we'd be here at episode 50?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 0:08

Of course,

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 0:09

listeners thought they'd be here at episode 50?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 0:12

Not at the time. I, at the time, something intrinsically new, but they didn't actively know so.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 0:19

Today is September 3rd. It's Wednesday. to you from somewhere. Yeah, and it's our 50th episode. Huge big deal. We got socials too. We got Twitter, blue Sky, Insta Football. Fellas, come congratulate us on 50 episodes. We have a website, football fellas.com and we got it out before the 50th episode and we have a The football fellows at.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 0:40

that, that I wasn't sure it would happen. I'm not gonna lie, the website, I was like, oh, blessing say

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 0:45

today we're gonna have news, end of transfer, so then we'll can finally rest and we'll review match day three Will, how you doing?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 0:55

Doing well, doing well. No question today. Hope I, I hope you're feeling better, bud. But we're gonna go ahead and carry the load. Don't worry. I have my my conspiracy theory. Ready, ready and loaded already.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 1:04

All right. Do you want to. Talk about the transfer window or before we get into that, talk about

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 1:11

Yeah, we could.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 1:12

and big sales.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 1:13

we'll, we'll broad stroke it'cause it just got really weird. At the end, premier League spent what was it, 3.1 billion or something like that. Pretty much more than all the other, like next five top leagues combined. But biggest news to report Alexander Esau to Liverpool finally done so he gets his move after what's been a very long summer of rigmarole, for lack of a word, better word, yes. Back and forth is probably way better. I don't think I've ever said rigmarole. At the death as well. Gay, he did, he got his move. Scuppered late. However, Glasner put a power move. I think they had you, I don't know if you saw Drell, but they had even like the. PR stuff that they were gonna put on socials, thanking him like a little video package. That move got scrapped because Oliver Glasner was like, if you sell him with no replacements, I will literally resign. So Mark Gay, not happy about that. Oliver Glasner probably not happy about what's been going on. And then was it Steve Parish or whatever, the owner as well. So yeah, vibes are weird still in Crystal Palace, but ESOC is done. Liverpool will have to, be okay not spending the extra 35 million pounds for Mark Gay. He considering they spent the most according to Informa information, also by transfer market.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 2:23

a

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 2:23

482.9 million euros. They did have a good amount of selling to balance it out a little bit. So the net spends not as bad, but 482.9 million to strengthen a team that just ran away with the Premier League last season.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 2:37

create

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 2:38

And. And in the UCL. Yeah. Lost to the eventual winners. So on penalties. Shout to for getting it done. And we will continue to watch that this season. Just gonna kind of brush through a bunch of random moves. Chuka, he moves to Dortmund from Chelsea. So Dottin and Chelsea keep their business going. Chave Simons this one surprised me. He finalizes his move to Spurs that was right before the match day weekend.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 3:01

hijack.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 3:02

ALA Alejandro Garcio, he heads over to Chelsea for a Manchester United. Chris Ku, he's gonna be playing in AC Milan for the rest of the season. Alexander Chenko, he gets a last minute move to Nottingham Forest. Just saw today that he is not registered for the Europa League, which they got in through the technicality with crystal Pao. I think him and Nottingham Forest is record breaking signing. Amari Hutchinson also not registered for the Euro League for reasons I don't understand. But I read that about 10, 15 minutes before we jumped on. We'll track that. Fabi Viera, he gets to move to Hamburg from Arsenal. Jayden Sancho, this one caught me by surprise. I knew he needed somewhere to play. He's gonna be playing with Aston Villa on a loan for the rest of the season. Outkast in Manchester, United Reese Nelson. He's gonna be headed to Brentford. The Arsenal connection stays alive. Another good signing, I think for spurs. Randall Koani. He was loaned out last year to enter. From PSG doesn't really have a space there. He's gonna be playing for Spurs for the rest of the season. Nico Jackson and a deal that was almost sced then came back on. He's gonna be playing in Byron Munich for the rest of the season. Rasmus Hoy. And he's also gonna get a move over to Napoli for the season. P Opia. He's gonna be joining Arsal on initial loan with. Weird. I, I think it was like a weird option clause where if Arsenal for some reason didn't decide to activate his obligation, then buyer lever QA can still activate the option for, to force the deal or whatnot. So it's just some interesting deals being done if you look into the mud of how teams were operating, but. That deal that deal's done when we were talking about for about the last week and a half, Harvey Elliott, he's gonna be headed to Villa Anthony. He has the bes after Manchester United tried to hardline them. Apparently an Anthony also had interest from Byron Munich, but he said he wanted to play at Rail Bess because he was happy there. Yo. And Lisa gets a last minute move to New Castle for a good amount of funds considering age and position.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 4:54

In.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 4:55

Yeah, yeah. Good for, good for Brentford if they, they're on their way up. But Brentford very, very stripped down. It's looking right now. I'm sure we'll talk about that later. Manuel Kaji, he's gonna be headed out to enter Edison. He has to a lot yesterday after being rumored to leave the Manchester City it feels like for oh, almost a year at this point. But Donna Ruma, he's gonna be coming into Man City from PSG. He had nothing but good things to say about Enrique. Pretty much just, talked it down to, pretty much despite what he did Enrique made a decision. It's a choice, but there's no hard feelings anywhere. He is supported by his teammates. So you good to see. And we'll see how he operates in Manchester City under Gu Guardiola. And lastly, I'm gonna report on Manchester United Get they get their, get a New Go Keeper again. San Lamons there they were, yeah, they were rumored to bring him in over the last few weeks. So he's coming in for our answe. He's gonna be a Manchester United Man. Buying deer. He had not, he hasn't had, he's been playing ke for them over Oana while Oana has been injured. And relegated on to like more cup ties. He lost that Grimsby talent game sent lemons. It looks like he's gonna be the new number one in Manchester United. We see how he just over the weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, he, we had to fill the squat out, right?

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 6:04

Too.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 6:05

It, it, it's, I'm a firm believer, just like if you don't provide a foundation for your goalkeeper, but he does have moments where it's like also he does be, he does make questionable decisions, I'd say, but I think Manchester United, they've had like trouble in the back line for the last, semi years. They had maybe not necessarily the answer at the time, but ever since he left, it has felt like a revolving door a little bit back there. Yeah, that's gonna be, that's gonna be it for transfer rep. I'm done with transfers. It's fine. They, you, we'll probably start, start rumor talk now. No, no more finalized deals. We're gonna be like, Hey, do you hear about this?

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 6:37

We'll run a

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 6:38

Exactly.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 6:39

the winter window. match. Day three happened, guys. This is will be the last week before international break. I'll run through the scores and we'll talk about it. Chelsea and Fullham, Chelsea, two zero over Fullham Man United. Get a win over Burnley. Three, two Sutherland. Beat the Bees two. One in a, in a late game. Showdown. Sure. The Spurs drop to born myth one zero. Wolves fall to Everton. Three, two. and Newcastle draw Brighton and Man City 2 1 9 in Forest and Westham. The hammers get their wind. Three zero big one for the hammers Liverpool Arsenal. Liverpool win at Anfield one zero Aston Villa. Still Goalless losing the Crystal Palace. Three zero. Let's get into it. Yeah.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 7:27

I guess there's only one place we can start, right?

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 7:30

So that Brentford

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 7:32

Leeds Newcastle. Okay. Tell me about the Brentford game. Actually, we'll get there.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 7:38

we'll, we'll bounce around a little bit. Yeah. The Brentford game the concern so far, even after two games is where the goal is gonna come from. For Brentford, we sold off a lot of talent and Booma and Whistler is now gone. They brought in some players Thiago contributing the goal in the 77th minute. And name escapes me or Toler.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 7:58

Rgo, I think, or, oh yeah, sorry. Sorry. I don't, the pronunciation was not my strong suit.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 8:05

neither, neither am I. But they did take the early lead, and I guess the hope was parking the bus. Again, so much to the Aston Villa game. But Sutherland found a way to fight back and they scored two late goals to, to give Brentford the loss and a game that I think Brentford really needed. Heading, heading into these next couple weeks on the schedule.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 8:25

Yeah. I'm sure there'll be a couple teams, but you never want to kind of like go into your international break with some last minute heartbreak. It was like a last, one of the last kicks of the game for Cinder Lane Sador scores, a winner tough result. We sat out. I, you, you figure it's gonna be a tough year regardless for the the bees just with losing like some of that firepower that they had last year, losing Thomas Frank, but tough result in a game that like. They had a chance to secure those three points. It was definitely the, it was all to play for if you will. But, shout out Mexican Twitter as Christian would say. Stadium of light. I, I popped a soul this weekend for the Sunderland one,

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 8:58

the Chelsea Fullham one. A lot of VR going on in that game. Fullham not being able to spark any magic here to at least tie the game. Chelsea is, Hey, we're, we're just gonna keep scoring goals.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 9:12

I, I, I think they already came out and said that VAR missed it. Which, I guess you oppress you, you, you're glad to hear just like the transparency Hey, we made a mistake. But yeah, pretty much r.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 9:24

it either.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 9:26

While dodging a tackle landed on Forget Center Back's name off the top of my head, I do apologize for that. But while dodging a tackle landed on a Chelsea player in the buildup, and that led to a full goal, he was controlling the ball kind of hurdle. The challenge landed on a player and they decided to run it back. So that mistake, I think that was in the 21st minute, it wiped out a goal. Chelsea was able to capitalize off of, questionable pen for a handball. And then another goalie to put it away so Chelsea able to get three points. Fulham probably pissed. That's just somehow times how it goes. I think if I remember the VAR official was removed from the Arsenal game the next day actually due to the mistake. There's that. Yeah, that's a tough feat for Fullham though.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 10:11

man. United versus Burnley, the goals kind of line up on the XG Man United collecting three and to Burnley's two and hey, they did it. Man United scored a goal in the Premier League.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 10:25

Yeah,

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 10:26

I think there was

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 10:26

it got real s.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 10:27

own goal for them.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 10:29

Yeah, I think the first one was a on goal but pretty much, much, yeah, leaving it late. I believe that that was a penalty. And Bru Fernandez Fernand able to score that pen decided with the last of the game there too. So tough result for Burnley, but Manchester and probably needed one Amarin watch. I, I, I hate saying, oh, we didn't talk about Ted Ho 10 Ho also got fired from Lever Cuson after two games there. Yeah, he got, he got fired. I meant to add that to the doc, but pretty much so from my understanding, he lost the players, the coaching staff and the management, which, usually if you have one or two of those, then you can afford not to have the third. But just moving really weird, the athletic did a piece on it, just as far as like kind of the directions inability to connect with the players over there and as just just bad vibes all around Ted Hog. What a switch from his ax days. Just kinda. Yeah, I don't, I don't know what's next for him. Yeah, an pasta colu. He is rumored for the Leverkusen job and the fenner botch job in the Turkish league that Jose Marino just lost, but we're back. We're back. So yeah, Manchester United, huge win Amarin much needed when could only imagine after the g Grimsby hound defeat. Last week. Or earlier in the week. What would happen if they dropped to the newly ascendant Burnley at home, which once again, three, two is not like the ideal scenario, but I do believe that they were good value for the points on the day considering.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 11:53

and it's enough to quiet the shouting. That's been going on on the

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 11:58

Okay.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 11:58

side just a little bit. As long as you collect three points, are you really complaining. But if, if this was, I, I think if this was even a draw, it would still be like, what's Man United doing? What's going on over there? So

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 12:10

I, I feel like it kicks it down the road a little bit more unless, unless they're able to string across some results. But it is definitely easier to ride that ride that result into, the international break. Yeah,

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 12:21

for sure.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 12:21

exactly.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 12:23

We talked about Sutherland, Brentford, the spurs get blanked at home to the cherries and Yeah. Giant killers, I keep saying it. They keep proving me. I don't know.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 12:33

It, it's not even that they were able to witness the way they dominated the game. Spurs not able to get a shot on target until the 69th minute at the Hot Spurs stadium. As Spurs, as great as they were their first two weeks it opens questions, it opens questions about maybe does their further investment needed. But Spurs at home, some days, you show up to work and you just show up a little flat. Not the result you wanted, you expected to see considering how well they've played the first two games of this season against man city

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 12:59

possession

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 13:00

why not? Game script at that point, right? Evan Nisson scores fifth, but they're chasing it. But even if you're chasing a game and you can't create, that's, that's a little bizarre. Yeah something to work on.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 13:11

shots for Bour meant this crazy.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 13:14

Yeah. Yeah. So that they really did that first half was Auburn Myth, which you're on the road in a Power six stadium, even though no, the spending kind of dictates it a little bit more, but yeah. But yeah. Good for the cherries.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 13:28

out there. and then we have Everton and Wolves. Everton's been a little, little hot right now. Three, two

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 13:35

Yeah. Yeah. Jack Grish keeps creating, yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 13:38

a renaissance. I saw a meme where like he's dribbling up the line and he goes to cut it back and they're just like, what are you doing? Just take'em on. Just take'em on. You don't have to pa pass back. This isn't PEPs scheme. Be more creative with it.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 13:53

Oh, he is, he's been creative enough. I think he has four goal contributions in his like first two, three games. I know he came on as a sub in his first game. So yeah, look at, look at Grillers doing the thing. It is against wolves. Wolves is gonna be one of the few, I think the only team that does not have a point yet on the season kind of mirroring their start to last season might be less solutions on the team this year, but we'll see. But Everton doing a good job to get a, get those points. I'm all you.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 14:16

For sure leads in Newcastle. What kind of leads team do we have here?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 14:21

Leads playing without two of their better players. Sorry for skipping out on the names of what I was doing, like my deep dive. I was reading about how like they had two of like their main starters out Newcastle we talked about after last week what was almost a moral victory how they were able to turn around against Liverpool. Missing Anthony Gordon. Missing pretty much four starters. We'll skip everyone else, but zero. Zero. So I mean leads four points in three games considering some of the teams that had to place, they had a game against Acel on the road, Newcastle at home. It is not the worst start to the season. I forgot who they match date one matchup was I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 14:53

Leads?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 14:54

real quick. Yeah. Lead to beat. Oh, they beat Everton at home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Leads, four points for your first three games when you're freshly ascended, you're not setting the world on fire, but you're giving yourself a little bit of space to let, let's see where this goes, right?

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 15:07

Sutherland's sitting on six points, leads on four, and Vern Lee on three. So the ascendant teams are looking, looking good after

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 15:14

Yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 15:15

three games.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 15:15

New Castle, of course, they got Nick Ade. We'll see how he pans out. He is like a highly coveted German player. His track two first team football. A little over the place, like German third division. I forgot. I don't, I don't even think he's hit 20 legals yet in his career. He is kind of like, he's younger, not Rio Young or anything like that, or non young, like he's, he's like early twenties. But they do have a replacement. At least they do bring in YOA as well. So they're trying to ruin the tool, but it is just gonna see be more now how do we make these pieces fit over the next, 35 match days,

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 15:48

Newcastle reinforcements are on the way. Crazy game. Brighton Man, city man, city being up one Zero. James Milner takes a penalty to tie the game. And Brighton just go ahead from there. I forgot who scared who scored the, the go ahead goal, but I was watching up until the stoppage time and I was like, Brian has a chance to do something, and they did. So questions,

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 16:13

yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 16:13

Man City.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 16:15

Yeah, not the start man said he wanted, they got a lot of those signing spent 180 mil in the winter window to try to get obviously Sure up for the end of last season, but also get a headstart, almost like acclimating. And I think they were also dealing with the fact Rayon Cherokee, if I remember correctly. He just came in and from Leon questions about how he would integrate. He picks up an, so it looks like he's gonna be out about eight weeks as well. More questions from Manchester City. You figured that they have enough to find solutions, but more questions. I believe this was Roger's first game back as well. He getting back into the field. Yeah. Full game. As he's ramping up. But yeah, Manchester City, after they won their first game of the season, they dropped the last two, right? Yeah. They lost the sprays last week.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 16:56

yeah, that's two in a row, two Ls in a row. After winning

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 16:58

Cold. It.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 16:59

against the wolves.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 17:01

Yeah, three points after three match days is probably not what the citizens imagined, but I'm also just I've seen them get, get hit a hot streak in the second half of the season a couple times, so I'm not gonna call'em dead yet.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 17:11

not. The hammers, they are, they found goals. They found goals against, not

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 17:16

They found a lot really fast.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 17:18

We're really fast at the end of the game.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 17:21

Yeah. Gerard Bowen, Lucas PTA, and Cal Wilson. All score goals in the over eight minutes. Been 84th, 88th, 91st to break what's been like a very temp it start to the westham season. Just looking things. Huge run for'em, tough result for Nottingham Forest. But huge result for the hammers getting their first points of the first three points, right? Yes.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 17:43

absolutely. It brings him up to 16th. Nodding you fors looking. Looking a little weird right now to start the season, like they've scored four goals total, but they only scored one last week and they got blank this week. So three of their goals only came from against Brentford. So little, little trail off. No panic button yet, but little bit weird. Little bit weird,

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 18:04

Something to watch, something to watch.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 18:06

but I'm not counting them out just yet.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 18:09

Yeah, definitely have to find solutions, especially with some, some Europe to play in as well. So once again, just wild. I'm gonna have to read more, more on it and I'm sure we'll talk about, but it's just the signs they do bring in, you do have to split your squad in between like different competitions, but it is weird that, nose chenko, he is gonna be one of the few with European experience, even if it's just like group stages being there. Yeah, but West Amp three points. So they could continue to just be try to rekindle the catfish in my eyes, but I'm not, I'm not following for it this year. I'm not following for the bait.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 18:38

I fell I'll go skip this next match'cause this is gonna be the one we're gonna spend the

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 18:42

we'll leave that for last. Okay.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 18:43

time on. Ashton Villa, our only Premier League team who has not found a goal yet, loses the Crystal Palace three zero Crystal Palace, who drew the past two matches, finally get their win with. What we know as a has been gone for a while. Christopher Palace, big result. Ashton Villa Big struggle.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 19:00

Aston Villa, the only team in the top five divisions of English football yet to score a goal which is crazy. A year ago we were talking about Ali Watkins, John Duran all these pieces, John Duran goes and they bring in attacking pieces like Danielle Mullin and whatnot, and they're just a sensio and whatnot. Three games in no goals. And it's not like they're playing, they've had the status of competition. It's not like they played like one through three or anything like that. I don't know. I. I'm worried if I'm a Villa fan, I'm worried if I'm a Villa fan. They bring in Jaden Sancho how he fits with their style of play. I am, I, I, I don't have the answer for you right now. I can live with you not scoring points against what's usually a style New Castle team, but Brentford and then this week against Crystal Palace not being able to score as well. I think the net starts to shrink a little bit if you're like a v Aston Villa player going forward until you, there's a lot more pressure to get something going. But huge result for Crystal Palace not to take anything away from them. Spent all of that on Villa.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 19:57

I mean for sure, crystal Palace not really bringing in new players and players leaving are still able to maintain a good quality on the field. Aston VI think, yeah, Aston v beat Crystal Palace in every measurable category. They outshot them, they held onto the ball, they passed more, their

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:14

I got one for you.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 20:16

all

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:16

Yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 20:17

On paper, you'd been like, oh yeah, they win. But, and or they at least would've scored once. But nope. The quality of the shots for Crystal Palace were better

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:24

best.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 20:24

and

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:25

Yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 20:25

were able to find the net three times.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:28

I getting their first win of the season following up on their two drills. So sitting on five points after three match days with a lot of change going on over there. Yeah, shout Crystal Palace.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 20:36

Crystal Palace looking good at the start of the season. The one that matter, not the one that matters, but the biggest match of the week Liverpool and Arsenal. I was, I was ready for the zero zero draw. I was like, take the points here at Anfield. We're good. So Sly with his free kick was I don't know. I was just like I was like, I can't even be mad.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 20:55

I watched it, I watched it with Christian while we were doing our fancy our American Fantasy Football draft and. Draft was finishing up and yeah, zero, zero. For the most part, the game played relatively even on both ends, both teams getting moments in attack, but no, like real clear cut ch chances throughout the game. But yeah, once it was like stood over it, I was I was just it's from the distance. And I was gonna say no way, but I was like, lemme bite my tongue, because I was like I was like, he is a good free kick taker. But yeah, perfect amount of pace, perfect amount of bend. Like I say this a lot, the margins, The margins are razor thin.'cause he tucked it off the near post. And probably if Ray had like extra split second to get there, he gets to touch on it. Just a wonder goal, Augh, after the game, he said the game was played 10 times. We probably tie eight times. We win one. And they won the other one and today was the one that we won. A lot of respect there. Even Ella, I think lead in the lead up to the game was showing respect for Arsenal. But three huge points at Anfield for Liverpool. Arsenal dropped their first points had their first loss against a traditional Power five team or Power 16. And.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 22:03

A

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 22:03

Damn near two years, three years almost. Yeah. But yeah, A special, special moment for s Silver slide to collect the three points of Liverpool remain undefeated, three straight winds to start the season top of the table. Ask me if you heard about it.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 22:15

the only, only team to not drop points

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 22:19

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 22:20

Yeah, that go, that, that free kick was just, I was sitting there, I'm like, let me queue up who I'm drafting next. Oh, there's a free kick. I'm a little bit nervous and just watching the replay over and over again. I don't know if you saw Joe Harts analysis. I put it in the, in the chat. I don't know if you got a chance to see it, where he

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 22:35

Mm-hmm.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 22:36

goes through and breaks it down and just like David Rye did everything perfect. It was just, sli was just more perfect.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 22:43

I was, you can't even really be upset about it. You just think. You just kinda have to take it in as just a kind of fair play, great goal, and if that's how we lose, that's how we lose. But XG was about 0.5 for both sides. There wasn't really much to separate these two teams.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 22:56

on the, I turned on the game four minutes in just to see William saliva coming off the field with an injury.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 23:02

Yeah, shout out Christian Mosquera. He gets his first Premier League experience at Anfield on the road, and he had a pretty solid game, but yeah, the Ali saliva ankle injury, we'll see what's going on there with o to guard Ray with the knock out already with the knock. Air International break. Can't come soon. Soon enough, three weeks into the season.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 23:19

All right. Do you have a, do you have a winner for Match day three?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 23:23

I do. It's gonna be very surface level, superficial commentary I guess. But I'm gonna go ahead and give it to Liverpool. Liverpool, they finished their first three weeks defending the premiership with three points, and they get that Alexander ESOP deal over the line. Liverpool definitely retool, spend a lot of money. Going forward, they already have separated them from the rest of the league and they bring in Alexandria Esau who for that price tag. How does he live up to it? But I don't think you do necess. Was it like 125 million pounds? So what's the, that conversion to American gets gets real weird. And considering the four oh inverts he comes in four. Oh Inverts hasn't looked like super great so far. He came off with a cramp. Early on, but he's also just adjusting. He's a very young player. Hug. He's looked great to start his Liverpool time and that's just their forwards. Yeah. So yeah, he, he, he had some touches. I thought on the wing they were doing well, but it's gonna be Liverpool right now.'cause three weeks through, you finally got. ESOC in I don't think the fans are worried about, you know what, the money is going there. They sold pretty, pretty well over the window and they're top of their, top of the season to the, what I was thinking the whole game of was like, of course after us talking for two, three weeks about how like their back line has looked a little bit wonky. They get their first green sheet as well of the season. Yeah. Here, we're here we're right. Obviously Arsenal, missing some pieces, but hey, everyone's gonna be missing pieces week two. Superficial, very basic. It's gonna be Liverpool for me. How about you drill?

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 24:51

I'm gonna go with Brighton on this one. Not many people expected them to draw even Beat Man City they come in and, and win it late. Huge shout to them. It just shows man City is being, I guess I'm not reacting man. City's not reacting. To the way play is going. I know it's been addressed I think John Stone said something when they lost a tum, how like we're just watching. We're not really moving to where we need to be. So man city's just struggling as a collective unit. But Brighton coming out with the win late I think they got the winter in time. But yeah, definitely, definitely bright in here.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 25:30

I, I think it's a tough thing that, no, shout out Brighton. Of course. My mind naturally went to Man City, but it's like a thing where it's like outside of the aging players and the players who went out you're bringing players into an established side and everyone can talk about how the money's enough to do it, but it's just it's. A team that wins six over the span they do. It's just like, how do you maintain. Almost that level of hunger. How do you like, keep ideas fresh and keep your players invested and whatnot. And I'm not gonna say there's a necessarily a full dip in quality'cause they do have quality pieces all over the field. There at some point you can draw up, whatever tactics you want. But at some point it has to be the players too, right? We'll, we'll see how it goes going forward. Huge win for Braden in our home. Brianon, who last year, if I remember correctly, one of the last undefeated teams, so Braden. Doing great things and a team, they could have rolled over at some point. James Milner second oldest Premier League scorer after, I think when he first came on, he was one of the youngest scorers in the Premier League. Coming back just to help brighten secure a huge, huge result. Yeah. Good shout. Good shout for your riding.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 26:29

Yeah, if Man City

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 26:31

How about your, yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 26:32

League, I think we could definitely talk about a slide, but as long as they keep making Champions League football, I think they're, they're still fine. So

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 26:40

Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's I now it's September, but as of the players game, it was, yeah. Yeah. We won't hit the panic button quite yet, but, they're about to come back and have to seal, start dealing with Europe. They looked through they, they got pretty much played through last year against Royal Madrid. So we'll see how it goes.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 26:56

Yeah. My loser's gonna be Aston Villa, just that stat in itself. Top five division team.

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 27:02

would do it. Yeah.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 27:03

a score. It's just like what's going on with the villains? It, it's rough up there. It's a rough, rough in villain nation right now. There's really not much to add to that. It's an obvious loser for this week. It's the loser before the international break,

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 27:18

Yeah, and we talked about it almost with Everton last year when they went on their gold drought where it's just Hey we're gonna lose games, right? You're gonna lose games throughout the year, but gimme something, right? And right now it's like the proverbial, the lid is on the hoop in like basketball almost, where it's just kind of like, three weeks in no goals. And it's not like they're playing necessarily terrible or anything like that, but. That net, suddenly that keeper looks a little bit bigger, the net looks a little bit more narrow they'll have a couple weeks to get it right. We're gonna touch on our match day four preview probably in two weeks when we come back, but they come back on the road against Everson. We'll see if they find some solutions. But yeah, that, that, you can't really go wrong with that as far as the loser respectfully, villain Nation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. This was no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not gonna do it. VARs too easy. I'm not gonna do var. Fuck it. I'm gonna go Ingham force. Just for the aforementioned, just like how they're setting up their team. Nuno, esp Santo, I don't know how much longer he is gonna wanna necessarily be there with the ownership issues and then you're home and you lose three nothing to Westham, who we've been pretty much out on. So nine him, forest, you're gonna be my loser of the week. Just because the vibes continue to be weird to me.

jerrell_61_09-03-2025_180901: 28:25

Come on for us. We were cheering for you last year. What happened?

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 28:29

The summer It turned

will_41_09-03-2025_180902: 28:33

yeah. Yeah, pretty much. They bought Ed U in and things got really weird. So
