SPEAKER_00 0:10

I'm gonna be good at it if you know this little thing.

SPEAKER_01 0:12

Right, yeah, so you've got a question for me.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

Yeah, so it's like a little brain teaser for you. Right, that's how but to be fair, when I say the first line, you if you'll know if you know. Right, so since the turn of the millennium, so since the year 2000.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

I know what it is, I'm not that thick.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

I thought you'd say you know what it thought I'm gonna say. No, no, no, so since the since the since 2000 amongst the whole 92, Premier League write down to obviously League League two, there's only one team that's never celebrated, never been promoted, never won a cup, never won a league. Who is it? Only one team.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Uh I would have said Rochdale, but I don't think it's Rochdale. Um Everton. Everton, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's mental. You'd seen that, ain't ya? No, no, no. It it makes sense if you think of it rapid. I thought of going low at first. I remember Rochdale. I seen something years ago about Rochdale being this weird team that they just don't go down. And then when they got relegated, I think I recall hearing something about a team that's teams that have never been relegated or promoted, and Everton was one of them.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Yeah. That's one they were the FA Cup in '95, I want to say. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:25

Since the tournament millennial, nothing has happened, no trophies. No promotion, no promotion, no relegations, no promotions. I'm sure they had a European they didn't make Europe at all with David Moyes.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

No, no, yeah, but they haven't won anything.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Yeah, but they made a competition, but they've just didn't win anything. Yeah, well they've met the FA Cup and League Cup, haven't they? Oh yeah, I suppose. Well that's mandatory. Yeah. Every club has to take place. But yeah, you know what you mean. Yeah, how boring to be an Everton fan.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

I know. So, right. And then also what I wanted to ask is we're gonna we're gonna do our top five Champions League teams.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

Top five Champions League teams of not all time. Just our top. Just what we remember. Obviously, there's one well you can have what you want. If you if you want to see if you've seen if you've seen like enough footage and you've heard and watched along with things and you've you've you've you understand it, then yeah, of course, you can have that in there. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 2:13

But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

Um so I wanted to ask you while we're on the subject, not quite Champions League, but I want to know who you think will win each European trophy.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Okay, right. I've got a bit of a dilemma here, ain't I? Well, we both got a bit of a dilemma. I haven't got a dilemma. Well, yeah, because you sport Tottenham, I spot blues, both of our rivals are in European finals.

SPEAKER_00 2:35

Yeah, but that's not to say I might have said Arsenal and V and Freiburg, you don't know.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

Well, I think Freiburg, obviously. No, no, no, right. No, I don't. I don't do it.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Right, I'm not asking you, I'm not asking you what your heart or your heart wants to win. I'm asking you realistically.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Realistically, right. So if I had a prediction of how they'd play out.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

I'll give you 100 quid, put a triple on, and you want to make the most money back.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

Yeah, I'll go the most money back, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:58

You want to make the most money back, but you've got to be you've got to make the money back.

unknown 3:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:01

So obviously you want to make the most money back, you go uh you go Arsenal, Freiburg, Rayo, Valacano. Oh, just a stream. I hope I'm saying Vallicano, right. I know it's not.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

I think it's Valacaro, yeah, Vollicano or something like that. Right, so about the three teams. I think Crystal Palace Edge just the thing is with Rayo Velacaro.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Is it you just don't know enough about them?

SPEAKER_01 3:22

No, no, no. I've seen a little, I've seen glimpses, I've watched two or three games. They are good, and they're really good on foreign sword as well. Their away games have been.

SPEAKER_00 3:28

Oh, no, next to the only thing I know about them is that um Falcau. Falcau used to play for them, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Yeah, that's probably the main thing that I know. And I also know that they don't have hot water at their ground at the moment. They can't even supply hot water. And I think as well, I think I heard that you can't buy an online ticket, you have to actually go to the stadium. Yeah, I love it, it's old school. No hot water either. Brilliant, they're made for a final, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, St.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

Andrews ain't even that bad.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Right. Okay, carry on. So let's get off that for a minute. Um, so yeah, so I think their form away from home suggests that they've got the advantage. I think Glasna's proven he can win finals. Um obviously beating Man City. I know he didn't have Elise uh Eze or most of the players that were at there anyway.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

So Yeah, but yeah, but it's Ray and Valcano aren't Man City.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

I know, don't take into account I know, yeah. I think I I think it'll be like a 2-1, 3-1 Palace.

unknown 4:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

I don't think they'll throw it. So Palace for the conference. I think Palace for the Conference. I think my heart obviously says one thing with Royberg. I love an underdog story, and I don't and if you think if you think about it, are all favourites gonna win? So if I'm having Palace, am I having Villa? But then obviously I think they're like one to four to win. So I think my head says Villa. Unfortunately. It's horrible, man. Um as he's saying it, it's horrible. It's like when you go to therapy and you get it off your chest and you sort of feel better. But at the same time, that way you feel lifted, or not? No, it's not heavier, isn't it? It's got heavier, yeah. So yeah, I think Villa unfortunately win. I don't think it'll be an easy game as people are going on, though. I think they will they'll give it all the guy, it's a final, innit? You know what I mean? And I think, like I say, the underdog story always. I I love that one. Um and then Arsenal PSG, uh, like I said to you previously, I think if Arsenal do score early, they'll shut up Sharp and they're fucker for it. But is PSG's firepower and creativeness?

SPEAKER_00 5:37

Can you shut up Sharp against PSG's?

SPEAKER_01 5:39

And do you know what I watched them against against Bardock?

SPEAKER_00 5:41

You get bombarded, can you get bombarded? You get bombard them and bombard.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Like I said to you last season with there's only so much it can take.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

I said to you earlier that with um Man United and Tottenham last year, well, we we did that, we shut up shop against them, and but because Man United was shit, it was easy and our defence was better. Well, I'd I'd say personally, I think our defence is better than that. We could show it up, we could do it. But could if if Arsenal do that and they shut up shop, and you've got Dembele and Kravit Skella and you've got him and uh Dewey and all them players running at you constantly, battering you and battering you and battery, it's gonna be Well if you look how they press against Bayern Munich in the first time. Unless it's gonna be one of them games, you know, where a team has like 40 shots on target and just Yeah, like Celtic versus B Barcelona when they won 1-0.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like one of them games.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

Well Man United Man United, I think Man United against Barcelona, you know when Scorzy scored that goal? I think that was pretty much the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 6:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it can happen. Could be wrong. It can happen, and they've got an amazing defence, there's no doubt about it. You know, if not, it's probably the best defence in world football. That's just they're up there. They're in the top two.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

They're injured, they're dropping off. But if you look at the the the the form's dipping when you don't want it to dip.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

But I think if they've closed the if they can shut the shop shop on the league, okay, so they've got to be.

SPEAKER_00 7:04

But the thing is, they've they've struggled in the Champions League against Aviletzko Madrid, um, uh Lisbon and by Leverkusen. Yeah, that that's the same thing. That should be the that's the easiest run in recent Champions League. Oh, yeah, they've had it really easy, they've got to be available. Really easy, and they've had it hard as well. And they've struggled. They should have conceded, they should have conceded a penalty against Leverkusen, 100%. Um and Athletic the the I'm gonna uh you could sound biased, but it wasn't. Realistically, you know, Griezmann went down. I don't think the foul before that was a foul. So I think his Griezmann's a penalty. I think Simeone going down, he got dragged back blatantly. So there's two penalties.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Yeah, the handball in Leverkusen as well.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

Yep, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

I think they've they've they've got a lot of things.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

I think Lisbon, Lisbon, I think Lisbon, Lisbon batted them, didn't they? I don't I don't I didn't watch it.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

I'd look at I looked at the stats. To be fair, mate, I haven't really followed that side of the Champions League. I've followed the tough side. Oh, obviously. Oh, obviously. I've been watching the Bayern Munich games uh versus Barça, uh Real Madrid, sorry. I watched the PSG games, and I think PSG going forward, like I just said though, with Arsenal, if they can score first and close up shop, that's good. But if you look at how PSG come out in the second leg against Bayern Munich, it took two minutes for him to get a goal. And I don't think Luis Enrique is the type of person to change tactics on his team at all. He knows what he's doing, they're like a well-oiled machine.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

And like we said to each other as well earlier, which we both shockingly agreed with Gabby Abunglehall when they said Yeah, that's a rarity for the. Oh no, yeah. What which Arsenal players would go into PSG's team, and I agree completely that the only one that would would be David Ryer.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Right, yeah, 100%. Maybe do you know what? I'd say Gabriel, but then you got Mark Markinos and fucking what's his name?

SPEAKER_00 8:49

Yeah, the um the Ukrainian from Bournemouth. Zabier.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

No, he doesn't really play that much, does he? Do you not? No. I can't remember his fucking name now. I'll keep going to say Upper Menko, but it's not. Um but yeah, the the I think he pays for Bayern, doesn't he? That's what I mean. I was thinking about it the other night. Um but I think they're attacking their attacking prowess is just way too much for Barcel for Arsenal. And like I say, with Gabriel and Saliba, they haven't been 100% the last few weeks. Do you know what I mean? But then again, Arsenal, they'll play for the set pieces and they'll make it difficult for PSG. I don't think they'll make it like a 4-0, 5-0, whatever. I think people were It ain't gonna be like Inter Milan.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

I think people think I think people rather the same conversation and saying the same thing last year that we were saying that they were saying about Inter Milan. Inter Milan have got a chance if they get an early goal, they should up shop, yeah, they rely on certain things, and it just didn't work.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

Yeah, it's true. It is true.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

So, anyway, your third team, you didn't say we're just gonna go with a tangent.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

You've gone for Palace. I've gone Palace Villa and I've got I'll have to go PSG. No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean it's like a talk of war in my head. I've in one part part of me saying if Arsenal score early, they'll sort of shop and maybe make it difficult, just waste time playing fucking dark soul tactics or whatever. But I think if PSG I think the first 15-20 minutes of that game is so fucking crucial to decide who wins it.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

How long realistically do you think that if Arsenal let's say for argument's sake, Arsenal go one nil up after 10 minutes, right? How long do you think the thing is I'm pretty sure then they'll go into the half one nil?

SPEAKER_01 10:23

Yeah, I think it would take a tactical change, there's a couple of subscriptions.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

I wonder the same thing happened when they played Barca and then Henrik Larson came on, yeah. We just fucking turned the game around and said, What a play.

SPEAKER_01 10:35

And then TT turned around and said, I've just got to go. Yeah, lost his head, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. I didn't see no Eto or someone like that. He went, talk about Larson. Yeah, he's the one who shined. Yeah, he lost his head. Yeah, a great player. To be fair, I think they got robbed that game, man. That weren't a red card. He got he got um booked for kicking the ball about or something, but it was a shot, but he didn't hear the whistle or something, didn't it? Can't remember. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

I remember I remember the game, but a bit boring story for you. It was an early one to me. It was I remember it purely because so my old man uh at one time in his life was an erection specialist. Erection specialist. He was an erection specialist, yeah. So he was Wait, wait, wait, an erection specialist. He was an erection specialist. And what does that entail? He was a he erected concrete concrete erector. And the contract that they were the contract that they worked on at the time was he got the well he didn't, but the company got the new Wembley. Oh fuck. So he built the new Wembley and he was working a while. He erected it. Yeah, he erected Wembley. But that was a hard job. You'd be surprised. I swear. It went up surprisingly well.

SPEAKER_01 11:35

Sweet.

SPEAKER_00 11:36

Um but I remember I remember that game because um it was on my birthday. My birthday tends to fall around some kind of FA some sort of cup final. Yeah. Last year it was the FA Cup final. Um so I think it'll be there'll be something this year as well.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

I think you got the Crystal Palace game.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

Is it not the FA Cup? Because it's been the Chelsea game's been moved.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

It could be.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

And it's a Sunday, no, it's a Saturday, and it's it'll be the Saturday FA.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

I remember him saying because Man City you've got to play the play, mate.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

Anyway, the old man came back for like like drove back, we went to a pub, and I remember because he came back, he was upset because I kept running off every time they heard something, I kept running off to the screen to see what was going on. Oh, with the arsenal game. Yeah, that was the most boring five minutes of only two.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Wasn't that bad, wasn't that bad? We've had worse stories, he made it a bit funny at least. But yeah, I but if in in my head that's how it plays out, but if who I want to win and what how I'd love it to play out would just change the Freiburg Villa game.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Yeah, Freyberg.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Yeah, I like I say the underdog story, man. And I I I don't know what it is, but I've got this feeling that they're just gonna fuck up. I think they're gonna go into it way too overconfidently. Her Villa. Yeah. And I think this team, you don't want to piss off an underdog man. What if it's this we did it with blues and fucking Arsenal? Sorry, but when Blues was about to play Arsenal, the the we had the door the apparently the the teams had the doors open, and Barry Ferguson, who's obviously some mad Scotsman, you know, you don't really really want to piss off an angry Scott. He was seen how they were walking in, laughing and joking and stuff. They were just chilling, they had this boring attitude about they've already won it. And Ferguson said, Look at these fing kunts in here, man. Look at these. He said, You're taking that. You're gonna take that you got a more rolled up. Do you know what I mean? You don't really Do you know what my favourite part about that was? What that you bleeped out fucking but said couldn't. I did, didn't I? I thought I did subconsciously. Never mind. You went, look at these fing kunts. Yeah, but yeah, and that's what I mean. I think you don't undermine any sort of team, you have to respect. And I think we've seen how they're treating it with the odds understanding about it. I've seen a load of filler fans, and I've been listening to sorts, but a lot of them are saying it's already ours. You know what I mean? Go on, say what you want to say, get off your chest, go on. They ain't gonna fucking win it. Come on, let it out. They ain't gonna fucking win it. I was telling you now, they ain't winning it.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

I'm in I'm on the fence with this. I don't know. Don't know, but I know shit. You have this strong fucking stick. I'll tell you what, they fucking were last weekend. I'll give them that much. Yeah, that's what I mean. That's the that's the team that I hope turns up. I'm not gonna sit here and be like Tonum's. I mean, to be fair, we we did play well what we had, and I was a few positives I'd take from it, but they were fucking. I was texting I was texting you, they were so bad. But terrible, so bad.

SPEAKER_01 14:19

And I think if you think about the actual team as a whole, Emmy Martinez is probably the only serial winner in that squad. Is it Luca D ain't won foot all.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Okay, but is it, or is it just that he's the best of he's the best of a bad bunch? Name in the Argentinian goalkeepers.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

Willie Caballero.

SPEAKER_00 14:36

He retired about four years ago, man. Didn't he win the he retired about four years ago?

SPEAKER_01 14:40

I could have sworn he won the um No, run about players.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Um no amazing goalkeepers that have been in the end of the case. You know what you mean. Willie Caballero wouldn't have got ahead of Emma D Martinez the FA of the World Cup.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

But I think it I think it only Tammy Abraham's the only one I can think of that swings that's been in the oh Sancho that has been at that level, but Sancho ain't gonna play. That's been that level and one. Do you know what I mean? He's won the conference league with Roma, was it?

SPEAKER_00 15:04

Uh yeah, you know he didn't, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:07

And then he won the Champions League.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Yeah, because he could be the first player. He could win the first player to win all three trophies.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

He'd become the first player.

SPEAKER_00 15:13

I'm pretty sure he'll be the first player to win all three trophies.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

I think there already is one, you know. I think it's Pedre, no?

SPEAKER_00 15:17

No, um what's his name? Emerson played for West Ham.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

That's it.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

Yeah, you got it. He did it. Yeah, that's him. I think he's the first Englishman to do it, then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the first something to do it.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Yeah, I can't think of it.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

I think he'll be Englishman, wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_01 15:29

But yeah, so uh in the midfield, you've got McGinn, who's apparently now an icon.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

I'm just do you know what, right? I'm just gonna take a bat seat. This is on 16 minutes. I'm gonna forget about that. I'm gonna give you till 20 just to fucking know whatever you want to get off your chest about villa. Just let it go, man.

SPEAKER_01 15:49

I don't think I can because I'll I'll end up going too mad. Honestly, I can't go and tell myself. And the thing is, I can't even think of what I want to say. I just thought.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Is it because they're gonna win something? Yes. How it is.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

If they win something, mate, I'll be fit. Do you know it's been this is sad that I know this? Today, as of today, it's been 11,02 days since they won a trophy.

SPEAKER_00 16:07

You would have heard that somewhere. You weren't counting the days in your life.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

No, I followed this page on uh Twitter that counts every day, puts up a post every day, every day about.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

Oh, there's obviously some blue noses, then.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's p it's gonna be gonna annoy me.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Listen, I mean, going off what no one apparently You can't be asked listening to Gabriel Balor as well, listen to talking on Talksport.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

I I won't listen to Talksport for a good month.

SPEAKER_00 16:28

I'm on the fence with it, right? Like I say, I'm not I don't give a fuck two ways about Aston Villa. But just going off my personal experience, if they win it, apparently it's a nothing trophy. No one apparently cares about the Europa League. Nah, they of course they do. No, I'm listening I'm talking from experience. And me saying we've won it, and then people will be like, oh wow. They treat you when you when teams are when teams are in it, they want to win it, of course they do. But then when they're not in it, they treat it's like it's almost like the League Cup of Europe.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

Yeah, I get that. So what's the Conference League then?

SPEAKER_00 17:01

The Johnson's Paint Trophy.

SPEAKER_01 17:03

Yeah, the Conference League Johnson's Paint Trophy. Or whatever it is now. I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

I don't know what it is now, the football, the uh the virtue trophy. Is that what it's called now? Yeah, the virtue trophy. That's the spot. It'll always be the Johnson's Paint Two.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

Same as the Carlin Cup. Johnson's Paint Trophy.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

Yeah, um, but yeah, I listen, I had the conversation when we won it. Um when we won it, I spoke to the Missy's brother who's an Arsenal fan, and he was like, Yeah, but it's nothing. And I'm like, well, hold on a minute, because it what about when you lost it? Yeah, well, we don't care, it don't matter, doesn't it? You get hyped up for it though Champions League, and I'm like, yeah, well, hold on a minute, you lost you lost it. But it's it's harder, it's hard to get into it's hard to get into the Champions League final. And I was like, yeah, well I know that because we got to it the same year you lost the Europa League final.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

That's what I was saying to someone who's followers and this might be another thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:43

Sorry, it might be another thing I was gonna say this earlier. Um maybe Umai Emery is Mr. Uave Europa when he's at a Spanish team.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Ah cool because he flopped it with Arsenal. He's had it with Seville, Sevilla, and Villarreal, all the villas, but he's not winning.

SPEAKER_00 18:03

He didn't do it. Did I lose the Chelsea?

SPEAKER_01 18:05

I lost 4-1 to Chelsea, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Chelsea, yeah, yeah, because it was it was an all-both trophies all English. That was Ben Pedro. It was all English because it was Arsenal Chelsea and then Tottenham, Liverpool in the Champions League, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

I remember it because I remember Pedro scoring in that game, winning that trophy. He was the first player to win every trophy and score in the finals of every everyone as well. Literally Champions League, everything. Yeah, he's meant all that. But um, but yeah, fuck Uno Emory, fuck the villa, fuck Gabriel Van Hall, fuck Barry Bannon, got 30 seconds, keep going, and fuck John McGean. Fuck your fucking face. Fuck your fucking face. What's that up? Oh, what is that from? See ya, yeah, fuck you, fuck him, fuck you. Fuck your fucking face. Fuck your fucking face. What do I think it's Danny Doya?

Right, so uh well, I'll just keep my nice and quick and sweet. So I've gone obviously PSG, not just saying it, I generally think they do.

SPEAKER_01 19:14

What do you think the score line's gonna be actually? Because I know PSG.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

I f I think I just think it'll be comfortable. I do think it'll be comfortable, PSG.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

Proper hate watch that's right. No, I'll watch it.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

Yeah, 100%, of course I will.

I'm gonna watch the villaging as well. Of course I will.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

Yeah, um I just I just think PSG is just too strong. I genuinely do. I'd if you would if you were gonna if right, if you could go back to before Christmas, we'd be having a different conversation. This is me being on completely honest now. Not take away Tottenham out of it, right? I think if you go back to before Christmas, that Arsenal team would be having a different conversation. Genuinely having a different conversation. Everybody was genuinely thinking, fucking they might do a quadruple. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the league's there, I think Everton's given the league. I do think Everton's given the league. Um that's why this this weekend's one of an horrible thing for me as a Tottenham fan. Obviously, West Ham don't want don't want West Ham to win because he's West Ham and you and get closer to us. And potentially if they're good. And don't yeah, it's like Gary Neville said that time, it's like, ooh, do you want to shag your boy?

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Yeah, none really, but it's happening.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

Um but yeah, so I just I don't just like you say they could get an early goal, shut up shot, but I just think that PSG's attacks are far too strong.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

They're so good to watch in there.

SPEAKER_00 20:32

I think I think Kravit Skella. Him and them two just bombing at you constantly down the wings. Do you know what's mad? Who they got down the middle? Who plays down the middle for BSD? Dembelay. You play down the middle, who's on the other wing then?

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Uh Due. Dera Due. Do you know that Kravit Skella is so slow as well, but you just fucking glowed, man.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Oh my god. He was unreal in that season. He'd never miss a track on a busy platform. He was like unreal against the game.

SPEAKER_01 21:02

I absolutely adore watching them play.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

Yeah, so just them going, like you're saying, they've got Fatinha and Bradley Barcola, they've got players and the bench that can do damage as well, man.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

And do you know what? If Arsenal, I know we're talking about PSG, but if Arsenal do win the Champions League and the Premier League, I think they'll be the most fucking boring ever. Oh no, they are champions of Europe and the pr and the they're just so.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

I mean, you don't care if you could give it me and say, look, you win, but you'd be boring. Like when we were in Conte, Conte, when we were in Conte, mate, we were fucking honestly. I remember going to Tottenham and watching them and thinking, this is fucking shit. But if you could say you can have Conte back and play that football again, you'd have the double. Take it all day long. You would, wouldn't you? So yeah, I've had them. Um I have had Villa.

SPEAKER_01 21:47

Of course you have.

SPEAKER_00 21:48

Um a little Of course I have. No, I just listen, it's purely right. You said the same thing, you fucking idiot.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

Yeah, but I was hoping you'd back me off a bit.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

No, I I I hope There we go. I do I do hope Throwboy win because it's again it's more I do like the underdog for the same reason I don't know anything about him, but I have because I don't know anything about him, I have gone for Rayo Vallicano to win.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

Oh, you think that would win a Palace?

SPEAKER_00 22:17

I don't know. Oh you just hope so. I don't know. I think that I know the difference is Is that because Palace is a London club? No, I think it's um I just I don't know with Crystal Palace. I think they've they've up and down, up and down.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

They've got to made it a difficult journey for them as well, considering they were clear favourites at the start. They've been leaning something.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

Exactly. So and they've they've come out and but the thing is they've done that. These fucking like Cypriot teams that no one's heard of, and they're scraping past, and then they bat a Fientina and they battered Shakta Denex.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

At home, yeah, that's not the one 2-1, I think it was. So I'm not gonna go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. Four-to-one aggregate.

SPEAKER_00 22:54

Free 3-0, you know what I mean? Uh so but I I'd maybe it's I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

It's a weird one because I I at the start of the season I thought Strasbourg were gonna win it.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

I don't want to I can't I can't sit here, honestly, and say to you, it's gonna be for this reason, it's gonna be for this reason. I I haven't watched Crystal Palace in the conference league. I haven't. I haven't watched Rayo Vallicano ever, I don't think. So I can't give you a an actual reason why I've just I'm I'm probably just saying I'll obviously I'd I don't know, just want maybe I'll just think or or I just I just do know what I asked the missus and she said Raya Valicano went why she went, I like their name. Do you know what I mean? It could be something like that. Yeah, but that's mad.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

It's like the horse racing. Someone put a 50 to one on, oh I like the name of that horse.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

And then and then Freyberg, I I'm not exactly clued up on German football teams per se. They don't think the seventh football team. I don't I don't know. And I just think the other thing with Villa is everybody well not well, not everybody, but most people were like, oh, you know, that's it, nah, Nottingham Forest on a roll, they're gonna do it. Me, and I said no other people were there it was on social, everyone on social media was all right they're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Three games unbeaten.

SPEAKER_00 24:04

But I was saying to you, I just don't I don't think it will. I think Villa will turn him over.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

They fucking did, as well. And and they could new arsehole out of him. I think if Morgan Gibbs were played in that game, it wouldn't have been 4-0, ain't gonna lie. I think they would have got at least one goal, and it would have changed the whole gameplay. Horrible that was sent you the picture, they're not rough. The fact that he was even on the bench clearly see his skull. Shame man. I like Morgan Gibbsworth. Get him on the plane, he'll be on the plane.

SPEAKER_00 24:29

But yeah, that's what I think.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

Gotta be on the plane. I'd take him over Fodom. No lie.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

Have you seen somebody's I don't know it is, but somebody's turned around and said that Foden should go to Carver too.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Yeah, I've seen that to reignite his career. Fucking how man.

SPEAKER_00 24:45

The amount of money that he's on, he's not going nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

No, you'd he'd soon enough play for United before he played for Carver.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

He's not going anywhere in his city, the amount of money he's on.

SPEAKER_01 24:52

He's one of them ones, isn't he? He'll just end his career there, I think.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 24:55

100%
