Last week, so close, but so far the 12 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.799 two outsiders one, so they delivered and it was the 13 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.520 short priced home side. On reflection, what we'll be doing 14 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.439 back in the team that I believes at twenty third 15 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:52.640 and the table to win a game. 16 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.159 Yeah, I thought exactly the same in hindsight and a 17 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.640 lot of the comments making that as a point, Pure 18 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.520 Law said on reflectioning Luton was a baffling pick. You 19 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.799 need to think about your actions. Laughing emoji. Sean's got 20 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.359 den ness, Den's regular commenter, always seen him in there. 21 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.560 Thank you for your input. 22 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:15.319 Sean. 23 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.079 He said, for fuck's sake, Luton are shit. The clue 24 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.239 was when you mentioned their inability to score Despire despite 25 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.400 I guess having a hatful of chances in midweek, they 26 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.560 can't score rubbish. Excellent point. 27 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.719 Well, Millwall were at two to one, burn album five 28 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.079 to two. Yes, Burton have absolutely cruised in as well. 29 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.519 They've won three nil and it was Luton at home 30 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.799 to Blackburn ten man Blackburn as well man sent off. 31 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.719 They were one in a lot but they went down 32 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.680 to ten just before the album mark as well, So 33 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.560 Luton had a decent bit of time to work with 34 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.400 that had four times as many shots. But obviously game 35 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.799 state comes into a factor then, none of which were 36 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.599 significantly huge chances to score. Were they annoying because it 37 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.319 was a nice little lame team to on trouble as well? 38 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.000 Yeah? I know if she told me Blackburn got a 39 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.680 mantled off and there were one goal in that game, 40 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.360 I probably would have said get in. How much have 41 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.719 we won? But the other thing I will say is 42 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.800 we had a few teams that we left out and 43 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.280 it seemed like it was an hard weekend because who 44 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.479 did we leave out? Forrest yea he didn't let us 45 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.080 have them in their loss. 46 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.120 And over one nill late to core Golf Everton. 47 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.680 We we mentioned Villa but they won three nil. But 48 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.919 we were worried about how many changes Hemory would make. 49 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.199 He only made four. Hindsight would have been good to 50 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:34.800 know he was on it. 51 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.080 Have not even laid a glove on them? 52 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.639 Have they was? We've been relegating. 53 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.000 Now, pressures off. Let's get some pride back at ourselves 54 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.479 now now they were hammered. 55 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.479 She'd have took a leaf out of its which in 56 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.560 Leicester Shayer's book, shouldn't they? 57 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.919 And then Brighton didn't bet less for either. On the 58 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.159 other short priced one that we. 59 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.520 Mentioned, he was like three to ten. 60 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.520 Yeah, would we dodge that bull out? 61 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.639 You're welcome. 62 00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.199 Well, I still want to talk. 63 00:02:59.240 --> 00:02:59.520 I can't. 64 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.400 There's so much which has happened. What else are we 65 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.400 reflecting on? 66 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.520 Crazy? Crazy season? 67 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.960 Isn't it in football at the moment that Luton one 68 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.560 is not just for the Akka but that is a 69 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.039 killer for them, So Luton for context, I'm sure, as 70 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.719 you'll be aware, now we're forty two games into the season, 71 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.759 you'll have a rough idea of how the table and 72 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.400 the lay of the land is Luton are three points 73 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.759 to drift of safety. That team, of course is Derby. 74 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.639 The goal difference is significantly worse minus sixteen in terms 75 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:32.759 of the difference between the two. 76 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.719 So they play on the week. 77 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.800 Saturday at twelve thirty over at Pride Park. It is 78 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.039 Darby County versus Luton Town. So it is a significant 79 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.879 game at the bottom end of the table and if 80 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.439 that goes a home win, it's packed about relegations for 81 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.000 a side who less than twelve months ago we're playing 82 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.840 in the Premier League and in August will be lining 83 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.599 up in League One. That result against Blackburn, I mean, 84 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.319 do you know against that burned the team in the 85 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.159 worst form in the EFL pretty much? Yeah, they had 86 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.560 the they had, they came from behind. It they to 87 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.719 get someone against Sheffiel Wenesay we turnal down in that 88 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.719 game though managed to snatch a late equalizer. You don't 89 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.759 you don't deserve to stay up, really do you? If 90 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.480 you're going to lose that home game against ten men 91 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.680 against if not the team that one of the worst 92 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.319 teams you know. 93 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.319 Form wise in the EFL, If. 94 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.480 They don't, if they don't go to Derby and get 95 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.199 something to make up for it. It's that result that 96 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.399 has cost them. It's all over because yeah, lose to 97 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.399 Derby and they are going to be a minimum of 98 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.199 five points from safety with three games left. 99 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:41.879 It's all over. 100 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.199 They think it's and like Derby had been fantastic, haven't 101 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.879 they under John Eustace. So it's very very hard to 102 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.439 see that that wasn't close to the final nail in 103 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.160 the coffin. But they win against Derby and suddenly it's 104 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.040 all back on. It has been a crazy relegation battle 105 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.199 so far. What else has happened? I was gonna say, 106 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.480 wee other game? I was about to say, because we're 107 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.439 of course building this for Friday, which is why it's 108 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.560 out on Wednesday. The Premier League games they're normal like 109 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.959 the AFL, you know, are the ones that do the 110 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.600 Friday Monday games, So the Premier League will be on Saturday. 111 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.439 We may briefly touch upon it at some point across 112 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.800 the episode, but that means we probably won't talk a me, 113 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.439 and we definitely won't because Aston Villa or a late 114 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.439 kickoff on Saturday. Anyway, it also means we're halfway through 115 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.519 the Champions League games, so we don't actually know if 116 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.279 Real Madrid managed to summon some magical comeback as they 117 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.279 always seemingly do against Arsenal, but aston Villa, good god, 118 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.800 they were dead and buried in that tie. They were 119 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.519 five one down on aggregate very early on as well, 120 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.600 and in the space of what was it five second 121 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.000 half minutes back into life fair me and just couldn't 122 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.959 get the job done. 123 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.000 Yeah, when you're talking about the big game last night, 124 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.279 I thought you were in about a different game. 125 00:05:58.319 --> 00:05:59.279 It's all for Doncaster. 126 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.399 Nope, Mormond, Oh my god, how did it go? I 127 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.199 thought you were on about the Derbyship the win. Oh boy, 128 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:09.839 just a bit. 129 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.040 Oh my god, we'll talk us for it. 130 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.920 Well, you you're familiar with often at you hurt tom 131 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.360 So as of I guess what you think the score was? 132 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.319 In ninety minutes Alfred and Neil Neil erect one for 133 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.639 the purest best moment of the game for me five 134 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.439 minutes one time. I think there was like one half 135 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.920 chance in the whole game, and that's when Alfred and 136 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.279 player sort of collided with the keeper. They were both 137 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.519 in a heap on the floor and the ball would 138 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.639 just slowly rolled towards the goal, but five minutes one 139 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.360 time stadium announcer comes on, say, just to reminder, ladies 140 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.720 and gentlemen at the game is level. At full time, 141 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.959 we'll be going straight to a penalty shootout. And everyone 142 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.319 went yeah, and then the one bought that billy game. 143 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.079 There they are the lads there winning the winning team often. 144 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.319 Giant periods a Derbyshire. 145 00:06:58.759 --> 00:06:59.120 Est field. 146 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.399 Yeah, yeah, supposed to be at Darby's ground, but he 147 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.240 got moved. Thousand people in there packed to the rafters, 148 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.920 well to the raft to a stand was full. 149 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.439 How did Georgie boy play? 150 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.439 He looked at times like you would tow in a caravan, 151 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:17.800 but he got the job done. 152 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.040 It's mid April. If they're in a cup final, they've 153 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.839 had the league to deal with, They've had cups to 154 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.000 deal with. You know, it's getting tricky, old points, it's 155 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.079 starting to you know, get into everyone and I was 156 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.560 time to see. 157 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.639 I mean Dad told me last night actually he's got 158 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.600 seventeen bookings in the league. He thinks that's a record 159 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:33.600 for the level. 160 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:35.560 Has it been going. 161 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.399 Yeah, do you have to have a meeting with the FA? 162 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.120 I think so at fifteen Yeah, he's got two sins. 163 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.040 Yeah, obviously obviously we're in front of a panel and 164 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.079 they're going, what's wrong with you?

It could be enough game. 178 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.480 Shouldn't they to do it? Do you want to mention 179 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.600 anything else? Or do you want to get into Friday's action. 180 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.079 That village game? Sorry? 181 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.040 Oh yeah, that of a little game that he actually 182 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.759 I now know the plans have done it in the Dubs, 183 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.279 she could have got another goal. 184 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.000 The chances they had after they should have got another turn. 185 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.720 It could have easily that essential one on one and 186 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.879 then Matt's in at the very depth that would nestling 187 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.680 into the bottom corner. 188 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.960 Weren't it every concert somehow? Actually just failing to he 189 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.480 could have got if he got his nose on the ball, 190 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.960 he would have scored what was he six yards out 191 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.000 completely clear and he must have just taken his eyes 192 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.879 off it for a split second, way way easier than 193 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.639 the goalie actually scored. Oh yeah, it's hard to isn't 194 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.559 it to think that a team has come from such 195 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.440 a deficit and they actually should have bare minimum taken 196 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.159 it to extra time. 197 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.480 Yeah, they will be sick as parrots after that. 198 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.840 It did bring, though, the night did bring my favorite 199 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.879 part of one of my favorite parts of the season. 200 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:12.120 It is the second leg winners not progressing, and inevitably 201 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.919 one of their players gets given Man of the match 202 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.720 because Garassi and the Dortmund game, I think got it, 203 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:17.960 and he asked that thing where has. 204 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.600 To hold the truth? 205 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.080 Thing? Obviously I've played brilliantly against Barcelona and now I 206 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.039 think top score in the Champions League. What a great 207 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.279 time I'm having. But he's got to look sad because 208 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.519 if he looks happy, people will be furious that he's 209 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.759 happy after they've been eliminated with that stockball? 210 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.799 Lad who did that? Do you remember when he got 211 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.919 the player of the match with Jack Diamond? Oh yeah, 212 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.159 after they got beat five one? Oh, just fons and 213 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.279 he's no, he's prof That's why there you go. 214 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.480 That's why they've taken the lesson from him. Let's get 215 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.279 to Friday zaction then, as we said already, I think 216 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.480 we're basically doing the same thing, aren't we three pm games? 217 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.600 Because it's an entire slate of fixtures across Friday. Everyone's 218 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:59.000 playing Friday, everyone is playing again on Monday. There won't 219 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.320 be a podcast for Monday. Just because of the quick turnaround. 220 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.159 I think we've somehow entrusted you to to do something 221 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.000 for Monday right tom So we will be sending a 222 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.120 very very short which barely think we can call it 223 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.200 a podcast, be like a one minute video, just to 224 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.519 give you all a reminder that me and Jimmy will 225 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:19.759 be doing. We can do it like old school how 226 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.720 we over the phone, and there won't be a podcast 227 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.399 to listen to. But if you just go straight to 228 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.399 Sporting Live dot com, then there will be a ACA 229 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.279 and Acher on Sunday for the Easter Monday games. Just 230 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.120 too much of a tight turnaround to get a podcast out, 231 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.879 get recorded, get it out and get it priced. 232 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.919 But yeah, it will be out. 233 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:46.720 On Sunday, similar time around lunchtime on Sunday. So you know, 234 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.159 explained that really badly but you know you don't seem 235 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.240 too confident. 236 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.039 You lunchtime's ambitious. 237 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.080 Decided Friday afternoon, you know, Friday evening. Just get your 238 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.840 teams and he'd have to worry about it. Let's go 239 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.559 lead by league and let's start in the Championship, shall we, 240 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.279 Because Jimmy, what's that? What's that reactional about? Then it's 241 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.720 happened recently. Let's put you off championship football. 242 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.320 Yeah, oh, Championship. I want to stay there forever. 243 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.120 Well, well, the good news staying down, fat boy down, 244 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:21.039 fat boy, as a unnamed Championship manager has recently proclaimed 245 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.639 after a defeat on Saturday. 246 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:25.799 I actually just can't get enough with it. 247 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.200 I was going to say Sheffield ny in Leeds. They 248 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.480 are at five thirty eight o'clock, so they won't feature 249 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.440 in the act and they're also relatively short prices as well. Anyway, 250 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.559 Burnley are at three at Watford. Maybe we'll mention them. 251 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.960 A week is a hell of a long time in football, 252 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.600 as the cliche goes, actually in the championship top end. 253 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.080 If you said at two thirty last Saturday his favorite time, hey, 254 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.960 that there would be a five point gap for two 255 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.320 of them, and you go who's in third. I think 256 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.320 you would have constantly gone well at is lead because 257 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.279 they won one in six or something like that, and 258 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.000 then out of absolutely no where Sheffield like to lose 259 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.679 three in a row, Burnley Leeds keep winning and with 260 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:14.960 Sheffield United playing Burnley on Easter Monday, it's just I 261 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.240 just can't believe how it's turned out in such a 262 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.080 short pace of time. 263 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.039 Yeah, it's incredible in it. 264 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.919 Jimmy just remind him. Actually after we played Burnley, someone 265 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.480 added me onto it, calling me nowhere with batter year 266 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.600 how to played Burnley. They did a number on ers. 267 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.679 I didn't reply. I book marked it forever. I'll come 268 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.639 back in May, pal And now I'm just thinking, shit, 269 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.480 we're going to lose to them on Monday. They're probably 270 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.559 go top of the league and what eight points clear 271 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.840 of us? I just made as well on book market. 272 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.960 Now, congratulations, And I don't know if Joe wants to 273 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.240 gloat a bit because we've ridiculed is Burnley to win 274 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.279 the league? Suggestion at the start of the season, there's 275 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.159 no chance Scott Parker is entertaining thrilling enough and he's 276 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.559 actually bored his way to the top of defensive solidity, etc. 277 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.519 Someone did share Burnley's team from the first two games 278 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.600 of the season, you know before they kind of everyone left. 279 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.639 Their squad they had for first two games is unbelievable 280 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.320 because they won four one didn't they? I think they 281 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.159 won five miler in those first two games. It was 282 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.279 like incredible some of the players that they had that 283 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.480 you forget that they had. They obviously had Wilson on a. 284 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.919 Bear was still there, borro'she was in the back line. 285 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.320 Veghorse was still there well, playing up front. So if 286 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.759 you look at that team, it's like a it's not 287 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.840 a completely different team, but it's significantly changed. And they 288 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.559 had that kind of a lot of talent at that 289 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.000 top end. And yes, the blessing is then, of course 290 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.480 that you can then replace it with the finances that 291 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.120 you've got with better players, But you kind of forget 292 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.000 the turnaround that he had in season to then have 293 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.799 to deal with to not only deal with that, to 294 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.679 turn them around to a point where it's only goal 295 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.960 difference that keeps them off top. And if you said 296 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.720 goalkeep goldif would keep us off top, but we'd keep 297 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.320 basically clean sheet every week. You'd consider yourself somewhat unlucky. 298 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:11.200 That's a situation absolutely, And just to slightly clear up 299 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.759 a point that Jimmy was making about the points gap 300 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.000 that could happen when Burnley plays Revy United on Monday, 301 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.679 to make it even worse, sorry mate, is that it's 302 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:23.000 highly likely that Bernie will be promoted if they beat 303 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.840 Epigenited on Monday. But even that, depending on how the 304 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:30.279 results go on Good Friday, just avoiding defeat, they could 305 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.480 be promoted against Sheppigenited on Monday. So sorry, it's actually 306 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.120 more bleak then you think. The loan Bernley as well. 307 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.559 The way this is working out, if they win, I 308 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.399 mean I'll say now they will be a pick that 309 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.480 I'm going to put forward for the AKA because of 310 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.399 the price they are at Watford. If they win, they 311 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.200 go eight points ahead of then Sheffield United playing five 312 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.240 point thirty. And while it's a home game, it's Cardiff, 313 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.279 you go they should win that. We could have said 314 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.000 that the home game it's Millwall they should have won. 315 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.120 That should have really turned up at plymouthoot one. They 316 00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.559 should have won at Oxford and they didn't. 317 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.279 Right. 318 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.320 Pressure is then on and Burnley are massively benefiting across 319 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.360 this weekend from just the schedule is so much of 320 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.600 a benefit to play first because then you can put 321 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.519 the pressure on rather than having this, oh, we know 322 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.120 what we need to do well, everyone knows you need 323 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.240 to win. It's irrelevant. But then it just suddenly if 324 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.559 you're then looking going into a gain of there's eight 325 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.600 points and there's only twelve left to play for, the 326 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.159 pressure is significed. I totally agreement. I'll let you take 327 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.000 the like the Burnley shout in a second. But I 328 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.279 was chatting to Jimmy about all this having because I 329 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.039 was off last week and just to try to catch 330 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.279 up on what had been going on that I would 331 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.080 actually be I know it's not one for the AKA, 332 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.240 but I would be keen to get against Sheffield United 333 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.559 this weekend. In some way, I think it would just 334 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.519 be worth that anybody who's looking to have a bet 335 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.720 this weekend, whether it is them to not win or 336 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.879 looking at unders or anything like that, because historically, if 337 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:01.240 you look at particularly Championship Promotion races, it does usually end. 338 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.519 You know the game before you expect it to end. 339 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.039 You look at Leeds last season, utter capitulation away at QPR. 340 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.240 He doesn't go to the game where it should because 341 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.600 the pressure ratchets up so much that they cannot afford 342 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.159 for it to go wrong against a team who they're like, yeah, 343 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.279 well if we get points here, it's a bonus, like 344 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.799 we need to get our points elsewhere, and they just 345 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:28.360 fold under the pressure. And yeah, I would be would 346 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.159 be looking at that as a game to potentially get 347 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.919 against them, especially when the manager has completely lost the 348 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.480 plot in the in the previous match. But yeah, I would. 349 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.720 I'll let you take it. Maybe Burnley definitely a team 350 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.000 for me. I just don't think there needs to be 351 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.679 anything said. Really, they've said there's seventeen to twenty to 352 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.879 win the game. Points you've made their Fundamentally, they're a 353 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.320 significantly better team than Watford. I mean, you know the 354 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.399 table doesn't lie in that instance, but you look at 355 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.360 the table difference currently as I try and quickly get 356 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:03.159 it up, Watford's their season is nothing. I know mathematically 357 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.400 they're still there that there's nothing to play for now. 358 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.319 They are even though you're sitting at eleventh. You wouldn't 359 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.440 think yourself relegation trouble, but they're mathematically saved from that. 360 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.599 They're not going to make up a seven point gap 361 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.200 between themselves and the top six at this point in 362 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.640 the season, they're just there. They're just there. They're floating 363 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:24.240 around that there's kind of they's seasons petered out into nothing, 364 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:28.000 having shown potential to be what could have been a 365 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.799 playoff campaign, and as I said, Burnley turning up full 366 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.440 of confidence. I know, the clean sheets have started to 367 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.720 disappear to be fair. Teams are starting to score, which 368 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.720 now we're saying that just shows how solid that defense 369 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.680 has been. But the price available on that, I mean, 370 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.559 someone is going to tail off. But then in theory 371 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.519 that all three of them could win out for the 372 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.519 rest of the season, and that is that it's just 373 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:52.720 the price. Again. We spoke about Sheffield and like the season, 374 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:58.640 Burnley particularly constantly overpriced everywhere they're going, yeah, I'm for it. 375 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.640 It was it was whether it had come in. 376 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.640 I put a note down yesterday potentially a bit short 377 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.880 because I thought it might come in shorter. But it 378 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.720 hasn't done. It stayed pretty steady. And now you've described them, 379 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.519 they're they're the most reliable team in the EFL this 380 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.839 season other than Birmingham. No frills. 381 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:17.319 You just know what you're going to get. 382 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.240 Routine, they haven't They haven't had a shock result all season. 383 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.160 They've had some mill nills, but they haven't at all. 384 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.759 They are the most reliable selection that you're going to get. 385 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:28.960 So if the price is. 386 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:34.599 Right and we go anywhere else in the championship, we'd 387 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:39.279 like to go and discussed because I said the Darby looting. 388 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.240 A lot of attention on that game, but that's at 389 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.160 twelve thirty. Well one other games that kind of jump out, 390 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.839 But does anyone want to discuss any It's like make 391 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:51.559 another suggestion. 392 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.359 I didn't love a lot in the championship. But aside 393 00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.079 from Burnley, wore about Millwall. 394 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.960 Black Blackburn have screwed USOVN twice. Yeah they always one, 395 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.039 We had always one. Yeah, just just lose with dignity 396 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.079 because we bat Sheffield Wednesday to beat them in the 397 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.319 in the kind of midweek AKA that we put on site. 398 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.200 They managed to pull that back with obviously bat looting 399 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.640 to beat them and they have won with ten men. 400 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:24.599 It just feels like signs of things slowly starting to 401 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.759
