Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:05

Welcome back everyone. Costa Dale Dublin, huh? Episode number forty-four, Lads on the Side Line Podcast. It's me, Connor. Join my Rudar Shannon as always. Just wiping the sweat out of my eyes, my eyes. Welcome back, everybody. Hello, you know. Yes, welcome back everybody. Thanks for listening, as usual. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

They're giving it over. I think we might need a hydration breaks movie. Half I care based. That matching part, that Portuguese match isn't that's a Miami. We were getting about that last week, or we got stifles now there, isn't it? Yeah, music that now I've heard, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 0:36

Yeah, Miami when when it was June, wasn't it? Late June and June, early July. The hottest country I've ever been in my life when I've been to Dubai and all these places. That was a joke. Horrible.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

People will still complain. Don't get me wrong, because everybody has a talking point and always complains about the weather. But it's definitely Spanish weather, isn't it? Even in the shade, it's warm, isn't it? Oh yeah, you can smell the heat, like yeah, it's a good complaint.

SPEAKER_02 1:01

Everyone's even today, it's giving out about the whatever. It's not really giving out, it's a talking point, isn't it? Yeah, uh look at me raining.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

Searing up again and say the whole of July and August, it just rained, probably. Look, it cheers people up. Yeah. That's it, and you know what? You can get the kids out now, and it's great. That's the weather looking when it's it's sunny, it's just cheerful.

SPEAKER_03 1:20

Well, I know a lot of people can't get away.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

So it's good that they've got a couple of spells this year already, hopefully Mark and Home, but the old ice cream vans is there. Of course, yeah. But they love this weather, wouldn't they? Of course. But uh yeah, look, welcome back everyone. Um so we'll kick off as we usually do are on news, even though there's not too much news this week. Um so the Premier League fixtures are out, and for us it's not the worst start, I don't think, is it, in the world? No, I think I'd pick one, you'd probably pick something similar to that. Yeah, yeah. A couple of easy games on paper. I'm gonna say that now. Throwing a hard one at home. Home the city, I mean to get a season. Yeah. You'd want that. You only have one or two in a day, you know.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

You have a little bit of fitness built up, like a couple of games into that. No, it usually takes five or six games before people start to come out and like that's a total game or something, is it a fourth game, whatever it is.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

Play two of the new two uh new uh teams that came up, two of them. Now they could hit the ground running a little bit, you know. Did be dodgy as well, is what I will say, but you know, you need to expect that and just need to go up and show that class.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

It's unpredictable, isn't it? The premiership show it will be. And the start of the season is the top top two. If you look at last year, the start of the season at Aston Villa couldn't even score the goal in the first five or six games. You end up still getting into a mistake. Wade the whole, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 2:36

I weighed the hole at half to five on the starter, yeah. It is dodgy good for years.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

What we call the late room. What episode is this? 44, is it? Yeah, I wasn't sure, I just wasn't like here. But trying to think to myself, but are we up to 44 already? It's hard to believe, isn't it? 44 already, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:55

You know Vinno's the oldest on the old. Um yeah, and an arsenal. Coventry, that's a good force game then, isn't it? Right, yeah. And we made the Emirates on uh Friday night. I say Coventry are looking forward to the arms. Oh Coventry in the forest game.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

I say Coventry looking forward to it.

SPEAKER_02 3:10

Oh, you mean Arsenal? Yeah, Ipswich is forced match then as a home to Sunderland, so they'd be thinking uh might get something out of that.

SPEAKER_00 3:18

New manager, yeah. Can't go nil. Yeah, good. Yeah, no, yeah, that'd be uh interesting to see where you get some of their own as well. Well lucky, you know, he's lucky his job would be to keep them up. That's to skew you the way, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 3:32

Yeah, yeah. Then Brighton Villa'd be a big game. Um I don't know, it's possible the biggest one on paper you would think would be Newcastle home to Liverpool. That's a Sunday a half four. Yeah. So come here, look at that one big game at the start or off, and it'll all build up to that, won't it?

SPEAKER_00 3:49

Come here and it'll be back again. We'd be just delighted that it's back and that's it.

SPEAKER_02 3:53

The fourth game be over and it'd be like I I haven't said it to you yesterday, did it, Sean? Next week we'd be like, gosh, we're going to Pro Park to watch the ladies match now next month and maybe they'll be back next month or something. It'll be the international break in September, and you'll be like, oh, here we go, here we go football.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

It's mad, isn't it? Kingdom of Christmas. Look at what we have away, that's what happens, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 4:16

I know, yeah. So we stick with Man United now. So we mentioned a couple of weeks ago about the stadium and saying that how can you build a stage when you don't even own the grounds? But they came out the other day saying that they've bought the majority of the land that they need now to build a sage. 45 acres or something, yeah. So very look at he must be getting some sort of a backup from the government.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

Look at man, Andy Borough must have mayor, wasn't he, too? Like now he's an MP, so and he was behind it all, wasn't he? Yeah. So when you look right now, yeah, that's gonna be like the next Prime Minister. Could be the next Prime Minister of England, and that's him, like he's obviously not the Lord Mayor of Manchester anymore. But he's pushing for this big redevelopment of Manchester. Can't blame him the much. So I mean do you reckon the only people that can stop is the government, but if he gets into government short, he's just gonna consistency. He's gonna regenerate the whole area, isn't he? So he'll cover any. Yeah, what's gonna track it in?

SPEAKER_02 5:09

Well he that's what they're saying. He's just I don't know. Is he with Labour, I think, or yeah, might be. He's he's only an MP not that long ago.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

Only since yesterday. Yeah. He was a mayor, he was never an MP, he's an MP now. So if he gets into Goldman, like costs are gonna push, then like the new news charging will definitely take off. Yeah, yeah. That's it. We've done well keeping public except for our podcast there.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Started it off. But it's not linked to back to United, though. We know good about it. Yeah, yeah. It's gonna bring some cash into the city. When it is built, it'll bring some attraction to the city, even though.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Look, giving away a little bit. Look, it's look at some pla it's like years and some places and and you get a little bit of rundown. I mean, you do this, it'll look it regenerates the whole area and gives it the new energy to the area, and it looks pretty sick, and then it'd be good for Manchester, that's all.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

Like Hoe Park, like I know you have stage like concerts there every year and whatnot, but United are playing this year, and the NFL was there last year, so maybe and Katie Taylor's full of September. So maybe they're sort of looking at something similar, thinking, Jesus, there's loads of money we can make out of maybe pick that price of the thick at all.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

Especially if there's going to be a hundred thousand and think of the revenue they're gonna make. Yeah. But that's what they're thinking at the end of the day. Look at like it's that's all the business end of it, and that's what the Glazers want, and that's what Indians want to make money down the road, millions and billions for other people now. We want the stadium to be right for the fans and to get the hundred thousand fans in, but we want the football team to match the stadium. Well, this is it. Do you know what I mean? Like it's like Grey Stadium, Great Channel, and the fucking show team, and like and and and Billy Ray Surge is probably playing there with a hundred thousand there. Like, we want the players on the pitch to be the main attraction, yeah, not the stadium. I was going to get something you don't see, you're not a driver, we'd probably drive a great but uh yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

Don't you have your license at 12 or something? Uh yeah, look, it'll be weird seeing old trapper not there. They might keep it as a museum or something, you don't know, but she probably won't, but you'll probably throw it into shopping centre or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

Of course, to make money out of that too, the land you see. Yeah, I know they owned and all, but you just wouldn't know. Yeah, but it'd be nice to keep. Do you know what would have been nice to keep before leaving for the girls and all? But I know they have their own little stadium along this side. But because it's gonna cost us so much money the other way, they've got to knock it down and just sell for selling the land. I think so. Something else, yeah. Be too much to small revenue for them to make it.

SPEAKER_02 7:42

Yeah, they're fine, yeah. Big fan. But er was actually we were in the old trapper last week, was it two weeks ago when they're doing the pitch up now? Yeah, you were ten years, okay. So yeah, at least the pitch will be a brand new pitch, anyway. Oh no, the commander would be great. You've got to do it in the next ten years until the stadium is built. No, that's how long it's gonna take, don't you? Yeah. For God's sake, boy. Uh yeah, look, we'll move on then to our little League of Warland segment that we've incorporated now during the summer. Uh so there were games Friday, and then there were two games yesterday. So Trammar Rovers got a good win on Friday, they won two on the way to Waterford, but they just slipped up yesterday. They only um they only drew one against Derry, at home to Derry. Now they're still six points ahead of Pat's, but Pat's have two games in hand now. Yeah. So it's getting close up at the top because Pat's got a good win as well. They'd be Sligo's 2-0 at home last Friday. So look at the games in hand and all, like, it'll just make it interesting, won't it? Okay, it's a good win.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

Like, yeah, well, you'd like to know the figure. Look, there's only ten teams in the league, so I'm sure they have to play each other again. Do you know what I mean? Like each other a few times, like, and then like well, I mean Pat's has had to come up now and like and and Pats are all but this looks like it's gonna be them now, doesn't it? Like, for the title, and that's it.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

Yeah, well Pats are playing tomorrow as well. They're playing against uh haunted Dundalk.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Yeah, well look at Dundark won't be easy either, because they're only tipped like if like if Dundalk beat them, they go 11 points with Duncan. Yeah. Yeah. I mean like the dog have 45 points, haven't they? And yeah, like and the same with the games played and all so it's a big game, like it both wells.

SPEAKER_02 9:17

Yeah, if you go difference just then that'll be the thing between them, like do you know what I mean? Um Yeah, look like you said, you would assume it'd be between them two. But Poe was got a good win yesterday as well.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

They beat Shell Street in the way, which was a big win in the Dublin derby, like do you know what I mean? Like they were now Shells at fifth and they're not saying they're struggling, but they're not gonna be even. They're not having a great season.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

They didn't win too many home games. Like even last week when they when they won, I think that might be now in the second home win or something of the season. So if you beat Rovers last week, and I think somewhere along the week they might beat Waterford or something, and so they're not having a great season, so we don't think that that fans would be expecting too much from them.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

Not this season, but so we'd be close to the top of them, like you said, actually be closer than the bottom of Waterworth and Sligo. Now, rather than if they slip up as well, they'd be dragged back into it.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

They're only three points ahead of Sligo, so yeah, but yeah, but I'm not even saying that I know you were saying I'm not even saying what I am saying now, contradicting myself. But you look at the four teams representing uh League of Ireland football in Europe, so there's all European spots to play for now. That's true, right? So it's not only one and two, but we can give you two to four and all, and like like there's plenty of plenty to play for in the League of Ireland. That's gonna help the League role, with money.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

100% as well, in fairness. I mean come on to when we talk about the World Cup of uh Roberto Lopez, like a fairness what the what he's saying with Kay Ferdi and just get the name out there for the memorial mind. Yeah, of course. Yeah, well you play bell a few games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So uh the last bit of news before we go to my little transfer segment, then is er Vino, you have unfortunately as two bereavements. Whenever there's a death, we always sort of just bring her up and pay our respects, no matter who it no matter who it is.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

So yeah, but the first one's obviously going to be Mark Hughes. As Man United fans, we just feel so sorry for him. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like being a father of two sons and all, and one nearly the same age as his son, like Sean 37, there like and um Mark Hughes' son 38, and having a couple of kids must be shocking for him. Like they're a private family, you know what I mean? And um I could only understand I could really only understand how I have whenever I have to go through it, but like deepest sympathy to him and his family, and that's it. And then the other one is to say, look at it's because we're from Ireland and play with it's just because we I was watching Dublin the weekend now and we're talking about GEA here, and we weren't expecting too much on Dublin against Dundee Gar, but you played great, it was a great game. Yeah, so then just looking at the GEA news to see if they got now when he got Galway like in the next round and all just alright. Then it came up as news that one of their um all-time greats, uh Paul Clancy, passed away as well in 49. And that's a shock like they're uh like like fairly quick, I believe. Like I think it might have been sick or that I didn't hear too much about it, but but I believe he was sick, yeah, and I didn't it was like it was fast, so like that's a very shock because he had a couple of kids as well, I believe. So any death is very bad, but there too they're just this week have big, big names, you know.

SPEAKER_03 12:11

Fortunately, one of the other managers of work went to schoolroom, so he was telling me, left three girls behind, unfortunately, and life is cruel, isn't it? That's it. Oh, it's terrible.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

Yeah, hit you hard when it's like that. Um and as we always say, it doesn't make any difference, just whatever fan you are, wherever your team is support, wherever you're from, when there's a death in sport or a death anywhere, it's a death and it's it's a death for us all. So we should all be feeling sorry for the person.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

Yeah, it's really just got like you see even if you're from struggling and walk around like that, it's not really that important, is it?

SPEAKER_00 12:41

No. No, like you have another chance to finish like that, can't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:49

Of course. And I don't stress you where they're on that might be like so I guess just unfortunately it it is what it is, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 12:57

And that's it we always say, don't we?

SPEAKER_00 12:58

When there's people struggling out there, like if you are struggling to say, and and you feel like you want to do something to yourself, but that's bad, talk to somebody. There's always something like there's light at the end of every tunnel for something.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Right. I'll try a little transfer now. So it's actually in Kway this week. It's far as all Tottenham.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

Yeah, well they're coming out of the blue, I think, isn't it? They're not gonna spend all that money. Do you know what? I I uh like I'm just wondering, Addie just say infotanale, info Fernandez. Um I can't see them getting voted.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

Like that's it, that's out there. Yeah, well for British Romana said that finale would be open to go. He wants to work with you, man. Yeah, but can they cough up the money because 80 million was rejected apparently?

SPEAKER_02 13:38

All right, yeah, something like that, yeah. And then the already spent money in Van Hecker, didn't he? And then D'Asano Fernandez is getting as well.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

Like I can't see Fernandez wanting to go to sports like like we want to go to United, I think they're using that as uh propaganda and not you may say that, like where are you gonna get the money from?

SPEAKER_02 13:55

United spent 220 million last year after the finish of 15th. So no, they'd have the money they suspect the players will be gone. Are you allowed? Yeah, I don't know why it's kind of worked. Might have players going out though, they'd be definitely players leaving them. Like, yeah, yeah. Well the game you know as well, they're sent the half on today, didn't he? Romero or Van de Ven. Oh no, send him midfielder, sorry. The Swedish lad. Swedish lad yeah, I know. Berg, what's your berg and what's his name? I know he's gonna. I was gonna say the blonde lad, the draw blond.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Yeah, he's a young look, he's a good player, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

That's right. Silver 19.

SPEAKER_02 14:30

Yeah, he wants a different challenge.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

He's a good he's a good player.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Yeah, he's supposed to be one of these like the next good thing, like take over from Madison's kind of a thing.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Yeah, but look, you know what you're saying there, no kind of like if you did bring in Deliset and I know bring in somebody else, and he's gone forward down to great pecking or say he wants out. Yeah, he's a good young fellow and then isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 14:51

You know, their horse maybe somebody to pick up. Yeah, it could be us, because like you're on their news now, no news, but anyway, come on. I I don't have any United now the transfers just because nothing.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

Yeah, it's not speculation. It's already it's every different out, they're giving me the same news just at different times, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03 15:07

Your man Ben Jacob is very good around United.

SPEAKER_02 15:09

But yes, yeah, they'll look at him now, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

Somewhere he has some context of his butt. He probably gets like some like Simon's on and they all get pieces to give out.

SPEAKER_02 15:17

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:17

So they might use them to give them good stories to get their uh views of it.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

But he knows a lot of fairness, and he is like they're still in it for Fernandez, but of course, but I still think that for April's or Fernandez as well.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

It's the price of the game.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Anderson's gone, Tonali's gone, yeah. Um he's the ideal replacement, he said, yeah, for Casimarit because pick someone right now would be him. Yeah, not even over Anderson, just as a defensive midfielder. So look at it about for France today, he's a big unit, isn't he?

SPEAKER_00 15:47

But do you know what a lot of the pencil remote is fine? Yeah, you know what I mean like, and then you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if you know with the knock on the kid of Valverti, and I mean he's the captain and all, isn't he? So like like and you probably all pay off stuff around him and um Chewmania there with the route that time with a fighting that time and be a man getting a digging on. Yeah, that doesn't be brushed over that easy. Like, so there's something still going on behind that, so I wouldn't be surprised if Moureno now, nobody's like he clears out and brings it in. Well, to you know you could get to a meaning, tell you. I wouldn't be surprised if they got him as a big sign. They haven't won many trophies in the last three, don't they? Any trophies in the last two seasons?

SPEAKER_03 16:24

So they can't go out and spend the next 500 million, they'll have to sell.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

Yeah, I know they have to sell as well.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Everything like it, you have to sell. But he looks like a merino player, isn't he? So we'll see. But there's the talk of the talk of your man um saying as well that they're they might have to sell to buy again, and they don't want to buy anybody now until July 4st, which is only next Wednesday, fair enough. But it's still a lot, it's in a week.

unknown 16:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

Sports can have two players to one by then. It's it's you know, it's just mad. But you know, it's all no, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

I don't know what we'd I don't know where what way it is for balancing the books, but mean to a go and if a semenia at Christmas for 65 million, so do you still have to have 65 million somewhere along the way? 100%. And the label last year, the last day, the 60 album. Yeah. So and you're not going to spend that now. Can you bring that forward? Because I don't think they can bring it forward. I think a budget is a budget from year to year. Yeah. You know what it is?

SPEAKER_02 17:13

But even though, like, I don't want to go up in the tangent too much about United, just say, but I think we said it last week, like Lewis Hall is an easy deal to get done. Yeah. Even if they want to believe the badlies, he's not to walk up either. Should be an easy deal to get done. Fernandez should be an easy deal to get done. They should have like seven or eight after starting eleven on their preseason tour, as it is. But do you want to do that?

SPEAKER_00 17:34

Look, if you have a strategy and I showed you now as I do, and we just have to hope that it works, and that's it.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

No, it's the same strategy every year, isn't it? We hope so. And it's just show you, yeah. No, for 100% that whole game, there'll be somebody that'll be only signed two raids before, and we'd be like, oh, when we start, and you won't, it'll be the Ipswich match when you start it. Yeah. But sure look it. Right, the last for this transfer now. Like I say, there wasn't much. Uh the last one's about Liverpool. I've never heard of you, man. Victor Munoz review? Never 40 million euro to go to Liverpool for a Spanish winger, I think he is. So didn't hear Anna about him until I googled him. Yeah. And in fairness to them, they gave me a straight answer and they said they haven't a clue. And they're not even gonna try and say sis he's that wherever he might be.

SPEAKER_00 18:22

It could be brilliant. It's like Shiny Lyman's last year if you know if you knew who he was like when he came in, he was brilliant, wasn't he? Yeah. Yeah. So I like it. That's my quick saying, mate. That's my quick one of saying fans we know what's happening. But um like I mean he was brilliant, best transfer of the season, wasn't it? So you you can get these dark horses out there that like if people are doing that. We're always saying about Bleaking Brighton and all that, and we in Brampton and all that when big players labeled where did they get their players from? Yeah, but they got players that we never heard of. And you should be brilliant, don't you? So you can't look you you've got to have a good skeleton system in the walks and you get them in. Yeah, exactly. Right then, the World Cup the last week.

SPEAKER_02 19:03

What have you made of it? Has it ticked into gear a bit or has is it still a bit sort of is it in second gear now?

SPEAKER_00 19:08

No, still it's in second gear, still like yeah. Yeah. Like they're still like you used to have Cape Verde, you know, like 2-2 against Yoruba, you know what I mean? Like and um change another point and a couple of goals scores for advance with chair and all, you know what I mean? Like the Red World Cup.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

Where are they playing now? Congo? No, it's not Congo. South Saudi Arabia, I think they'll do it. And Uruguay are playing Spain. There's a chance that if they draw, they could qualify, yeah. Yeah, yeah, hopefully. Because Spain will have to go out and beat Uruguay or at least get a draw from them to the top of the group. So if fair they could go out and be Saudi Arabia or get a draw.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

Well you proved they could score goals if they score two against Uruguay. Yeah. So they could go out and win. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? They could go and win.

SPEAKER_02 19:52

Yeah, absolutely, yeah. It'd be great to see for a yeah. I know I scave out last week with the countries now still stick to it, I still think it should be just the best 16 teams to say, but nothing. I mean, so it'd be nice to see teams like this. Exactly, yeah. Even the likes of Egypt and all and Norway. I don't know, maybe you've said Norway or Sean, you said Norway, they might be like the dark horse, but in fairness to Halandis, I think I'll see. When he's on the norm, I think it's not many people won't score against. No, no, the fours will go against Iraq. Yeah, and uh but he still scored twice as the last night against Senegal or he did, yeah. Yeah, it's morning, wasn't it? Uh yeah, they beat in 3-2, yeah. So they're they're two wins out too. So that'd be a good game now with them in France. Yeah. France are flying and you still look as if they can take it to the next level.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

And the guys about it is because they left the plane about one-two, do you have to go out and win?

SPEAKER_02 20:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:46

To now look here, one of them if you look at the goal deals could be better. I don't know what way it works out, because obviously that'll come into it. But like, if just say if Norway were two goals behind and you know you have to win by three, they're gonna have to go out and be a good guy. So so if you win, they'd be great. Like your draw's not gonna be any good to them. So win and just let them top the group, and topping the group means it's it's fucking massive for you for your next round.

SPEAKER_02 21:07

Yeah. Well, like that if Norway came second, they might play Brazil or something. Yeah, if they won the group, they could play Cape Verde if they qualify. Like it's it does make a difference. Huge difference. That's great. I just took Messi again to get the World Cup going. That's what I think everyone's been talking about. It wasn't really much talking about before this hat trick, and now it is like and he scored twice then. He scores twice and bat base scores. What's he on four now as well? Yeah. Messi broke the record, didn't he? So that he's the top score.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

Eight goals now he has in the uh in the world cups. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, do you know what's funny because not even saying 'cause he sure we he retired in 2016, didn't he? So we then obviously came back, but just say right and he didn't miss any World Cups, obviously. Boy, I know he lost in a couple of finals, didn't he? Like Chile, I think he lost his to Coco Merry or something, and he said how enough.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Or such a uh player like him, like you know.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Well look, yeah, you would say it's not a bit messy around Ronaldo to say, right? And um Jerry Naldo scored, didn't he? This evening scored two goals already. Now he's the first player in history to score on six World Cups. So that's the public still breaking records. But the only thing is, like, Ronaldo's 41. Yeah actually it's the second oldest player ever as well, like to um score in a World Cup.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

Yeah, I heard him say that earlier on.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Yeah, Ting and I remember Ting scored, and I don't remember the goal, but I remember the World Cup in all like yeah, back probably 1994 or something. Um Roger Miller for Cameron. Yeah, doing that, yeah, yeah, like but this is what happens with like you can and look, I'm gonna tell you who's gonna surpass them all if he keeps it going. Fucking Abbey has 16 goals and 16 games in the World Cup. He's only 27. Yeah, he is tension of the tree. Yes, three more World Cups are playing. Yeah, and he calls a seagull and scope. Oh yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous. Sure, he could just do it in this World Cup alone before the end of it.

SPEAKER_02 23:04

He is a great player. I don't think he'll ever live up to what he could be though. Yeah, yeah. Certainly thrown the number France.

SPEAKER_00 23:13

Yeah, and clear, and you can't knock his numbers for anybody. It's just off the pitch, it's like he scores goals for everybody, doesn't he? No matter where he goes.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

And I was looking at I told you last week's thing will win the rest of the matches as well. But Lamal scored, and I was like his 24th goal and 18 assists or something this season. He's only 19. Yeah. 18. 18, isn't it? Scored his fourth goal at the World Cup at 18.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

It's great though, isn't it? Like no matter what we're just saying, oh Spanish and Irish from Spanish, but like just to see him and he might be a big Galactica on it, he might be a big world footballer, because you still need them. Yeah. Like there for the next 20 years. Ronaldo's three years older than Messi people forget that as well. It's ever been said because if you just no, that's what I'm saying, it's 41. You know, like show if that's the case, really Messi could be in the next World Cup. He's only 28. He's actually he's 29, isn't he? I think in a couple of days' time, or else he's 28 in a couple of days. I know he's a couple of years younger. But realistically, like he could play in the next World Cup. If Ronaldo can do it at um at 41, he'd be only kicking the ass without that now another five years as well. Yeah, true, eh? It depends. Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02 24:26

That's like like you said, Portugal are winning now, so took them again to Grinswit. Yeah, took Spain again to Grinsworth. France are sort of starting to fly. Argentine. Argentina playing well. Even Brazil, wouldn't I say? England, you can't give it to him that he played well. England played well. Yeah, one of the harder games that's been so far. Croatia, yeah. Harry Kane again, leading. Again, he's another one. But he missed the fourth penal. Yeah. He scored a second one. Like so. I was looking at Bellingham, he never stops running either, does he? No, he's a good player. Bellingham. That's a big U in it, isn't it? He'd be good side.

SPEAKER_00 24:57

Do you know who's it who I think is a weakening for England? The goalkeeper. Pickford yeah. Do you know what I think about him is right? I think right, he thinks he's Pele. Yeah. Diego Maradona. I think he thinks he's better than what he is on the with his feet, and surely God, if England goes out or something, I guarantee it's going to be him making a mistake. Yeah. Because he's both sided. Yeah, he's too mad on the ball, isn't he? But that's what I'm saying. Like, he stops the ball and he's and he's then he's passed with his left foot over here. That's what I'm saying. He thinks he's better with his feet than what he is, really. Like, but he's put that he catch them out. Definitely, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:30

Yeah. I think one or two of the other teams said to be maybe four or five teams that could win it. I think the second game sort of shown the other kind of tier two teams, the likes of Belgium and Germany. I don't think they're going to win it all in. No, they won't. They got to the force match. You might have thought, ah, let's see if they kick him to gear, but Germany didn't look great against the United States, and then Ellen as well, wouldn't he? So I don't think they'll win it. Now the other two teams looked well. Holland played well. He did play well, did he? And defence, big defense. Well that would be saying as a dark horses, but Japan were a good side. Fit. Yeah. Footballers like. Japan, yeah, it's been a while. It's a mad stand in the Holland game as well, isn't it? Yes, they haven't got the last the last World Cup match Holland lost was the World Cup final in 2010. Yeah. They haven't lost a World Cup game since in 90 minutes, yeah. In 90 minutes, yeah, in 100 times. So I think you said if the goal was like two or more, if they go to two more games, you'd beat Brazil's record in like the 80s or not, wherever the good team was. Was it the 80s? Yeah, like 19 or 20 games that were out losing. So that's mad. And it's you still haven't won a Woke up.

SPEAKER_00 26:44

It's mad, isn't it? Yeah. Like it's funny, isn't it? Like when you look at the stats like that now. I don't remember the 70s, 74, 78, they lost in two cup finals, two great teams now, like and like when you were playing against Jeremy now and Argentina. But look at that's when Diego Martin was playing with Argentina.

SPEAKER_03 27:02

Like watching players that you you hear all, like here at Dumfries, for example, but never really get a chance to watch them as well.

SPEAKER_02 27:07

Yeah, unless you tune into even the maybe for Interland, was it? Yeah, yeah. But um he's signing for Real Madrid, but he's a good player. Yeah, he never stopped putting on that way.

SPEAKER_03 27:17

He won't you're playing against the Serie B teams in the Cup. That's about it, unless he gets injured. Because he can just he can whip the ball in just as good as Trent. Or he can actually defend. Yeah, we've seen that.

SPEAKER_00 27:28

Much better than Trent. 20 million, he got 20 million, didn't he? Steal, wasn't it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:33

It's mad look.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

And the other sort of lower mid-teams catcher, all yeah. Egypt are doing about alright.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

Not too bad, though. They sort of semi-goal actually on a bad team. Yeah. I know they're probably leading on me gone now. Yeah, but they did tough group to be fair. Yeah, they did, yeah. Um but no, yeah, I thought Egypt looked alright now. In fairness, um but that Belgium group is just that's completely wide open, that is, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 28:00

Yeah, no, do you know what? That should have been a group that Belgium should should automatically think come over and all like Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand, you would just think they're like top favour, do you know what I mean? They go through. But like a one-hold draw and then all draw that's not great. Well they'd assume it'd be true now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You'd think you would have won the first two games like France now and all and Argentina and all like yeah, but no.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

Yeah, they're called they're playing New Zealand now, you'd expect. I think New Zealand had a lowest ranked team in it, or do you think so? You'd expect them to beat them, but they don't look. I think I sense you show using like you look at Belgium and they're still relying on Lukaku and Le Bride and the faster. Like these players. Yeah, they're on the the the other end of their careers now fired into it.

SPEAKER_00 28:42

Like they should have won the most, you know. And in Brazil, look at the mirror now and now turn them in Brazil to go through, and there's obviously an advantage of Brazil. Oh, excuse me. But they're all they're only slow coaching the way in as well, haven't they? Brazil.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

One three-nil, but like not being bad, yeah. But they should be beating them 7-0. If that's the case, Brazil won't go too far. No, I don't think.

SPEAKER_02 29:01

I think that's why I put them down as the flops. I think it'll be like I think if it works out the way it does, they might play Japan in the next round. And I was pretty sure on what we did on Instagram, I think they'd put Japan to go through against them as well. Like I'm surprised. Yeah, no, no, for some of these players to get through and not get in. Yeah, it's Dance might take over the whole cup as well. Yeah, the the Norway's ah yeah, that was brilliant.

SPEAKER_03 29:26

They're all sitting down, like do you say it now? No, and they're all rolling like Vikings at the whole stadium.

SPEAKER_00 29:34

That's what it's all about, isn't it? Yeah, entertain the fans and all it's great. But look, even USA winning the first two games. Yeah, yeah, don't have to be in the best group, but look, you're good win against Australian fans to them. And you beat Paraguay far one in the first game, didn't you? So it's good for the fans, for home fans. Yeah, it's good. Even Mexico.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

Oh, that was gonna say the three hosts nations are top in the group so far. Yeah, so it's great for that, isn't it? It's great for all their fans. Yeah, so that's it. So coming up to this weekend, then it's the last group games, isn't it? Well, give me a part the matches to be played at the same time, wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_00 30:07

Like yeah, I hope the times are we can watch.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

Uh just a few. Who is it? Is it Portugal in Colombia or like 12 o'clock in the night? Well, it's after 12, it's like Sunday morning. Technically, if you're up Saturday night, you'd be able to watch it. So, um, and then I think Senegal played in France at the like it's Friday night, but Saturday morning. AM.

SPEAKER_00 30:31

Yeah, England played tonight in as well, didn't you? Like against Canada, like a tough game against Canada, yeah. King Lau tougher game against Canada than he will against than he did against Croatia. Yeah. Croatia it looked all right in the fourth half, but you didn't really. I think England just let him end it too easy the way. Again, a lot of their players are the like they put them in the Belgium category. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

Because they don't obviously think in the last war uh they've done well before. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:58

Yeah, and then you've looked at Modges as 48 and he looked a bit slow off the A.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

He's 40. Is he 40? Isn't he? You know what I mean? He's 48, I think he's got it.

SPEAKER_03 31:07

So again, the big players are well under like he could be firing soon, you know. Yeah, that's it, unfortunately. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

Okay, we'll speak again now, I'm sure. Well, will it be maybe we'll next Tuesday we'll know a couple of teams who have gone through half to four places and whatnot?

SPEAKER_00 31:23

So yeah, they'll be I'll look at that on every day, so you'll definitely know the way it's worked out.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

I'm sure we'll know who might be playing Hill in the next round as well.

SPEAKER_00 31:31

We'll know a couple get a little bit more interest, yeah. Exactly, yeah. Look, folks, say it to watch them all, isn't it? And take more interest in the Lincoln Fans. True, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

True.

SPEAKER_00 31:41

But if the story so far has to be Cape Fardy, don't care what anything he says. The rest of them you sort of have to expect, don't you like the particular go through where you see to go through Messi and Allo and Bappy to do the business? Um Cape Ferdi, you know, gave them a hold to, so it's so far there a little story, isn't he? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

Yeah, okay. We'll be back with the World Cup the next week. So yeah, Sean has a lot of questions as per usual. So if you ever do have questions, Sean, link them in, take them up. A lot of them are similar enough, um, which is great to see. Uh obviously people are thinking the same thing, all based off news, what's happening.

SPEAKER_03 32:16

So I just want to bring this up, it's just remain on the World Cup for a minute and uh Messi and not Messi and Ronaldo debate, but uh Daryl sent this in to us again. And another guy, John, is Messi getting special treatment in this World Cup yet again?

SPEAKER_00 32:30

Well, I think big players usually do. No, they shouldn't. But superstar players, big players usually do. Now I didn't see the tackle because I don't meant when the match was on to say, but I believe, right? So you had a tackle against Algeria. Or Algeria, yeah. Right, and um Ashiemendi or whatever it was, he still came on the back of his legs, and there was a big use debate over it about um should have been the red card or shouldn't that? And now you're asking that question now, just say right. I wasn't expecting you to ask that question, but I didn't see the tackle. But I believe people giving it about answering that question is that nine players out of ten might have got a red card, but because it's messy, he didn't.

SPEAKER_03 33:09

No, and he only had that was the game he's got a hatrick again. Yeah, and you had you had one goal in the bag, and he you should have been sent off, yeah. Yeah, and he wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 33:15

So there you go. So it's so so it was so that was special treatment, yeah. Yeah, no, wait, no, even before I answered that and and got that bit of news, I would always think that the special players seem to get a bit of the revelation.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

I wouldn't want to get see him get sent off. The Messi Ronaldo debate, it's gone all over working and shaking me head. It has to be the most boring question in football now. Yeah, just enjoy the pair of them because the two of them are never gonna see them again, especially at the same time. You have your males and even Mbappé coming up and all these are not gonna touch these guys, never maybe in a like Mbappé probably might beat the record in a walker ball.

SPEAKER_02 33:49

Well done. You're never gonna be a Messi, you're never gonna be Ronaldo. Just stop it, just watch the two of them. Yeah, you can have a bit of banned and a bit of cracking, but people are taking it to heart and I'll be give it over. He should have been sent off, but I'm glad he didn't. You know, I'm not a Messi fan, I just want to see them. You know, he's a football fan. Yeah, and I just want to see the pair of play because when they're gone, lads, they're gone. Yeah, and they're completely different, then like obviously goals-wise, but like Messi's just naturally just gifted, isn't he? Ronaldo's every day. I don't know, obviously, but like Prori and Bolton.

SPEAKER_03 34:17

If I had to pick one to play me team, I'd pick Ronaldo. And I'd probably in the minority, which I say I am, but can I do there's no way you're gonna convince me, I'm not gonna convince a Messi fan. The Bolton are just unbelievable at what they do.

SPEAKER_00 34:29

The Botanism are brilliant at what you do, so it all depends on who different, or it all depends on who suits your team the best, whichever. And when we have an Allah playing United, he suits United brilliant, and I'd be an Anala fan as well. Yeah, yeah. Even though I can't wouldn't take anybody Messi and I look at his score, and he's five goals or say in this now, and he he still has it. Yeah, he's so he just he he just can't get the ball out and he and he he's a good creator and all. So look, as you said, you could have that debate forever. But when they're not playing, as you say, enjoyable now while they're still playing.

SPEAKER_02 34:58

Yeah, definitely, yeah. No, it would be the same, yeah. Maybe it is a united team from way back, but it's how can you give out about any of them? No, it's mad, isn't it? People just come up with these complaints and yeah, oh Ronaldo's this or messy start, or picking one over the other for this reason or that reason. I'd happen to like two of the best players ever.

SPEAKER_00 35:18

The only difference is in the World Cup, like Ronaldo think only has about ten goals, just saying in his six, just say, right. That's all just saying, I'm only saying that's all. Just saying he has never won it. And and obviously the other fella did win it like won it four years ago, didn't he? Like on Penels, you know what I mean? Even there you don't have it.

SPEAKER_03 35:39

He's missed the Champions League, isn't he? Yeah, no one's gonna come close to him.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

What would you rather win the World Cup or Champions League? That's preference up to you, isn't it? Troll it out to big people. I prefer I think the Champions League is a better thing to have, but the World Cup is still the World Cup.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

Yeah, that's not all we get though. Yeah, but you know what? You're winning the World Cup with all players from all the other teams. When you're winning it, when you win the Champions League, you win up you're making up your team, yeah, and and you're building bonds with your team and you're making friends and all. Like the Champions League is brilliant to me as a footballer, isn't it? So as you said, he's missed that Champions League, isn't he? Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:12

So like you said, it's it's special treatment. If comparison, you should like you said, just fucking let's enjoy this. Yeah, it's the last one you'll see in the map. Back to this question Ronaldo team we'll have, isn't it? This because you don't play the same leagues anymore. Like so you do get a bit prep preferential treatment and that's it.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

Yeah, he's definitely 100%, but I'm alright. Yeah, to be honest with you. I know it's not fair if it was against Ireland I'd be given out. John Re got that special treatment years ago, didn't he? When he handballed it. Yeah. Like a bronze there, you all trying to catch the ball anyway.

SPEAKER_02 36:43

Um but what can you do? Um so another one that woke up in it. I could have been asked in the the quiz that we did a couple of months ago, I'm not too sure. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 36:54

Um I actually can't remember to be honest with you. Uh how many World Cups has Kareem Benzema played in, would you say? Rob Sandos.

SPEAKER_00 37:02

Yeah. I read about this ages ago. Oh for God's sake. Yeah. I guarantee you're gonna be wrong, huh? Because he got he didn't play Rob Fancy or 80s. No, it was actually a big scandal, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_02 37:12

Yeah, yeah, him and Rebri. Yeah, the whole thing. No, when I read it, I was gonna check it out. I got it wrong. I'm gonna say to him I'd say he played in 2006, maybe. And maybe the last World Cup. Or else maybe 2010 and the last World Cup and that's it.

SPEAKER_00 37:27

One I think he played in only. Now this is probably well four and four, I'm only gonna remember reading. Um like that, because then he didn't play for France for a long time. Yeah, and you're right, one. So there's all his points for guessing the year. Um let's say 2010.

SPEAKER_02 37:47

Oh, I was trying to say 2022.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

And he played him? Yeah. Oh, he hasn't played him enough that as far as that kind of like as he longed.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

I only guessed that because I thought he came back into the French thing. No?

SPEAKER_00 37:58

Like he did a thing in 2022. Was he?

SPEAKER_02 38:02

Yeah, when did he win the 2018? Argentina beat him in the final last time. Oh god. Or was it when he got knocked out? Well, maybe playing with France when Ireland when they knocked Ireland out of the playoffs in 2010. Because when he got knocked out of the groups in the middle, I think it's back to that. Close, close enough. So in 2010 he was left out of squad by Raymond Domin Dominic. Dominic, whatever his name was, the manager, he left him out of squad. 2014 is when he played in Brazil. Played five matches, scored three goals. Then um 2018 he was this off-the-field scandal, and then he was named in the squad in 2022, but he suffered a tie injury in training. Yeah, and he was left out.

SPEAKER_00 38:45

Yeah, that's what I say. One only for a player like him, because he won the band Ireland, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. Look at him as a goal scorer, he's one of France's best goalkeeper scorers as well. But look, there you go, there's this work like looking it was his choice, but scandaling album. And injuries, too, take a whole lot of players well just before World Cups and also and could be wrong.

SPEAKER_03 39:03

Have you joined the World Cup so far? Have you as he kicked in the gear? Paul wrote in, uh Shane wrote in. So we've answered that, I think. Yeah, like now we're fairness. Um back to United real quick. Um, why can't United do more than one deal at a time from Paul?

SPEAKER_02 39:18

That's always the case, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 39:20

It's a solid deal, isn't it? Like one at a time, and that's the way you do it, and it's frustrating. But look at that, isn't it? It's not really medium, like I know Real Madrid right tight and over there or whatever. But it's not just not many, like now obviously you I you only said to me now with the players that's a sign by Liverpool, but there's not not many players going anywhere, really. So no, by Real Madrid, but that's it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So we don't have to be too frustrated, really.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

Is that you the way us the bus or our team looks at Arsenal do something like that actually? Did they sign a couple of players? And we're all like, oh why aren't you not signing this player and that player? But when you take a step back, you're like like you said, nobody actually is.

SPEAKER_03 40:01

Garrett wrote into us and said, It's only Joan, why are we three of us? Uh why are we so upset with the board not buying pairs quickly? What's the hurry? The user actually alright with the sounds of it. Not alright, but content with it, but I believe no, we need to get it. Well, not content, why is it?

SPEAKER_00 40:17

In a man united journey. But you should be, right? But look, they have their own. Do you know what do you know what they do? Um, United, they feed you information and tease you. And then at the end of the day, uh pull over bleeding something because they're not going to pay the money. So they're just so frustrating. Do you know what I mean? Like frustrating. Like, it's like your guy that sent you like you fancy Sean to say, or somewhere in the way, you can or somewhere on the way to say, and she's teasing you for six months, and then you ask her, Why would it go up with you? And you say, You fucking easy. Like you're reading around. That's what they do to us. They feed us load of this nice information, spin this and spin that. I mean you come to get Anderson after nine months actually, we're not paying 120 million here. Stupid, isn't it? But but that's what that's why we're frustrated. It's not because they're not doing things quick, like frustrates the hell out of you, don't they? But they said the last week, it fucking frustrates when they're playing and they frustrates when they're not playing.

SPEAKER_03 41:13

And Jerry Jer, Jerry wrote into us. Uh what are teams doing so well in the past buying from big teams? Why are you not only buying teams from lesser teams? Buying players from lesser teams.

SPEAKER_02 41:30

Yeah. I can't remember the last time a big team bought the best player from a big team. No, John Percy. That's a while back now. Like a bat baby went on PSG to Real Madrid for free. Just say, right? But apart from that, like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, even Arsenal just say, Liverpool United, if you want to call them that. Like you boy in Munich, like you just don't buy the best players on like it's very hard to see Olise go to Real Madrid, is it? Like just say, they probably they buy your man Nico Williams on Bill Bell instead. Or you go through any player that plays or any of the big teams. Harry Kainman from the scores. Crystal Palace was O'Lease. Then Bell A came from Barcel because he's was doing his leaders in and all this sort of stuff. You go through all the big teams and you get better players.

SPEAKER_00 42:25

You go through them all, like it's very hard to get a big team. You look at even the last year for United came about Royal Lamp Rebels. And even if you do get Fernandez off West Ham, just say like, and they just say West Ham are a big enough team, they're not trying to big enough team not to relegate, but proves you anything get relegated. But they're all looking for him. So like so you do get these, you do get these chances if you awoke. Yeah. Do you know what I mean like?

SPEAKER_02 42:50

Like you're looking at just take midfield as one position in the world. So you have Declan Royce count in West Ham. Casado came to Brighton, Enzo Fernandez really coming from Benfica. Yeah, yeah. Yamana Drew and Ebes came in Van Viga, Fatinho went from Wolves. Like you don't like the Yan went from IX to Barcelona. Like it just doesn't happen, does it? You don't buy the best players on the rough where they get it.

SPEAKER_00 43:12

Ed and coming to us off Atlanta. Like he could be brilliant, we don't know. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 43:17

Like I think if you're buying from a big team, and we've been fucking caught out with this being United players, you're getting a dude. Unless it's Real Madrid because they've so many players. Yeah, maybe he comes in, fair enough. Yeah, it's a requirement tonight.

SPEAKER_00 43:30

Struggle in the middle of good fortune, great last year, struggle in the middle, but still proved how how important he was to United. So if you say, like Barrio getting somebody that's like Mourinho now and just want to ship the lot out now. He wants he doesn't want 21 year olds, 23 year olds, and he wants ready to made players out 26, 20. Like you know, it's the opposite of most people, isn't he? Like he wants ready to go for three years, and that's it. That'll do him.

SPEAKER_02 43:58

You said earlier they bought them three sets. Right back, yeah. No, I mean it's done free some interesting.

SPEAKER_00 44:08

We mentioned him last week when like even even if you if you're not you did get him and you'd be a good player, he likes of Adam Scott, like like you'd play eight game with him. He saw Parmont, yeah. Just say, right? But he's a good player, you could end up being a brilliant player. Like he'd probably just miss out on the World Cup just because he's so many good players. But I guarantee he'd be in the next one, right?

SPEAKER_02 44:25

So realistically, yeah, I think that's that's probably about right, yeah. Um I know what they mean, but it's very hard to pick the by the lower the best players on the best teams, and if they let them go, it's for a reason, unless it's unique, like like Real Madrid, who's going through a rebuild, which when's the last time they went through a rebuild?

SPEAKER_03 44:41

You probably have been done a few times, but they've always had a core team there that doesn't really look like you know Ferris and built five teams over the generations, you know, like but he had still had his core players there, and I saw maybe he didn't have it, it didn't start completely again, like more than I think. But yeah, they get in the likes of Bemo last season, Cunha, Sesco, they're all coming from woes.

SPEAKER_00 45:01

You look at the Rebeau like you know you look at like go back to Ray Kane, you came from not in the forest. You look at Ferrand and Andy he came from West Ham. You know what I mean? You get like you get all these players just say that are definitely down in the in in the lower third tiers of the of teams, just say, right? But you get the gems out of them.

SPEAKER_03 45:18

Yeah, unless they're like when Aldo left in either to go for it, but he's that was a game though.

SPEAKER_00 45:22

Yeah, and that's it. You look at Elliot Anderson.

SPEAKER_02 45:25

That's rare though. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 45:28

Yeah, if you look at Elliot Anderson and you could be a British record fiend of Man, you know if Man City just slip and pay the money and give 120 million on his British record, and you just come from Notten of Rod, and not the Ford's a big club, just say, but as it is of lately now, they're not just saying so they'd be getting a gem off then.

SPEAKER_02 45:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:44

No, no, I agree with that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:46

Because if you went through like the now we got one or two over the years, like the lict comes on Borne and Lazarwe, they wouldn't get out of Warren Munich now. Doesn't mean they're getting rid of them too. Exactly, exactly. Yeah, and they were right, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:59

I think overall, like remember PSG, like we were stunned with him, that's yeah, we were stunned with a lot of it would be a man bleeding hell, they went to real death, that's Anthony, 80 million pounds, like really, really bad recruitment. You can understand probably where the techno's now they want to get right, but you don't mind them spending the money, it's not my money, but you'd want to spend the money if the player and the player's there and then he's right, like if Anderson was ready and available, give one in 20 million.

SPEAKER_04 46:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:29

At the end of the end of the year is next week, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 46:32

Yeah, financial year, I think, isn't it? Yeah, that's it. End of tomorrow week.

SPEAKER_03 46:35

Yeah, Wednesday. Yeah. I think we see a lot more going on. Between July and August, you see a lot of players moving.

SPEAKER_02 46:41

Yeah. The last transfer that I can remember between two big clubs that worked was probably Chavi Alonso and Crouse. And one went to Madrid, and the other one went to Borough Munich. Should be about one leagues and chanting, didn't he? With both clubs. So that's the only one I can remember. Even Torres called the Chelsea didn't work out. No, and Liverpool. No, Liverpool are crap, didn't we? No. Oh like you said, it bars and managers are different, they can go out and buy the best players, like Suarez and stuff like it's just in them to do it. If they when they're at that pump, they can just do what you want. PHC took Messi from Bar, so that was a weird situation as well, in there. Yeah, didn't when they all left, he started with anything.

SPEAKER_00 47:18

So fine all the collective as you say, it proves it doesn't work. Yeah, like you look at even England just say, like, in the players you left at home and not come back onto the World Cup. But like him Tuchel said, he says, I'm bringing the squad to to win the World Cup as a team. He says, I'm not bringing all the best players. He didn't say in that way, just say, but he's we know that he left some good players out. But that's what you do, you build the squad, but you know, you said the segment with Name Aaron and Metchinon and and all this, and all Galacticos all going on, but you don't make a great team. Well, too many egos in the team, then you know, definitely, yeah. But uh, yeah, that's it for this week.

SPEAKER_02 47:53

Yeah, nice and short, as he will be now through in the summer. Oh my god, is not on. So there's no United France, really. No RDL France Fairland. But er, yeah, no, that's it, and then I suppose we'll be back next week. If you have any questions, shout them in to Sean and we'll keep lashing them in, lads. The text is all back anyway. So stacking them there. So we appreciate interaction. Thank you. If anyone has any opinions on the World Cup themselves, let us know if they think they're it's good or they're enjoying it, or who do they think it's gonna win, or yeah, it'll be their little dark horses like our leader here. Who has impressed them the most or the least as well? So uh yeah, that's it. So we'll be back next week and a quick week. Thanks for listening, yeah. Hope it's a bit cooler next week. Hope it gets warm. Uh yeah, come on, we'll speak to everybody.

SPEAKER_00 48:47

Thanks, cheers. That's great. Thanks very much. Bye.
