Let's start 11 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.560 with last week, as we always do. It was terrible, 12 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:46.399 wasn't it. It was so full of hope and yeah, 13 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:47.719 no it's not happened. 14 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:49.320 It was just like shit on it. 15 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.640 But we weren't shit. We picked the right teams. They 16 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:53.240 just didn't do it. 17 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.359 Just didn't turn up, did they. They didn't turn up. 18 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.600 It was Crawelly. They lost to Stevenage, didn't they. Charlton 19 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.399 picked up draw That was nicer than I think. They 20 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.159 were too. All down at one point against Lincoln they 21 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.560 rallied back so that was never in doubt. Sheffield United. 22 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.239 We also had them in the Tuesday Sport Life plus Socker. 23 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.280 They've done us twice in the space of four days. 24 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.920 We will talk about the blades and everything championship in 25 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.159 a little bit comments. Does anyone want to take it away? 26 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.560 I haven't looked at them. 27 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.239 Rich Grove yeah, Rich Grove three three six eight said 28 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.200 he was sitting at the valley today and at half 29 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.480 time it was clear the bet was doomed. With my 30 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.280 child and playing so badly, just a bad day. You 31 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.680 will bounced back. I'm sure that's very nice, isn't it nice? 32 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.760 A lot of nice comments, a lot of nice comments. 33 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:43.519 It's a bit sickening and yeah yeah. Kirsty Mitchell T 34 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.519 nine V said you guys deserve a lot of praise 35 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.280 last week for putting up with all the hate. Well done. 36 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.480 I'm long enough in the tooth been betting thirty years 37 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.840 to know tipsteris can't be judged over short term, but 38 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.760 plenty others aren't. And that was a general feme of 39 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.400 all the comments. I thought when I looked last night, 40 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079 because it was so bad, I think it was the 41 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.359 worst result wise we've had in a long time. 42 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:04.920 Long time. 43 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.000 Ye got that. 44 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.479 Charlton rallying back because that saved three defeats. 45 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.000 The first like stinker, Yeah, I could have been, but 46 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.639 so I was going to expect to go on in 47 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.400 the comments and see some good old fashioned hate, but 48 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.199 no it. 49 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.319 Yeah, we've we've had two shockers so far this season. 50 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.759 That was That was the latest one. Shockers we define 51 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.240 as one where we don't get any results. 52 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.159 Right. Who came up with this rating system? Why is it? 53 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:31.879 Why is a shocker worse than a stinker? 54 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:32.960 I thought you did. 55 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.199 I didn't come up with that. 56 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.120 Feels like a phrase you use. 57 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.919 Maybe I did inadvertently. 58 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.240 It feels like something you'd say when you describe how 59 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.439 the have got on. I've always assumed. 60 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.400 It was you. I came up with the name the tracker. 61 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.639 Well I didn't. I was saying, like Joe's like, what 62 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.879 do we call the thing that we track it on? AKA? 63 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.439 And then I said, sounds a bit like maca packer, 64 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.960 and then he said, AKA tracker. I'll let you're welcome. 65 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.520 But in my head, I would rank a stinker is 66 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.039 a worse thing than a shocker. 67 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'd prefer to not have either, 68 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.039 But if we're having to have to rank them. 69 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.560 I'd say, I'd. 70 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.039 Say, like a shocker is leaving we pack up at home, 71 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.919 but a stinker is all for your tires popping out 72 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.520 on the motorway and it's. 73 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.159 Just a nightmare. You're going have called it a night 74 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.680 in the back of a lorie. I'll tell you what. 75 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.919 Maybe we'll rebrand it for the new season. But the 76 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.599 fundamental is we're a promotion chasing side and we've just 77 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.639 taken the initiative and we're ahead, and then we've got 78 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.719 about five teams chasing us, a bit like League To 79 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.280 imagine we're leading League two and were panicked. We've turned 80 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.120 up on the Saturday we're away. The pressure's got to us. 81 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.240 So we've completely collapsed to a team in fifteenth. That's 82 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.599 how I describe as we approach the Easter weekend, the 83 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.199 crucial part of the season. That's next weekend, isn't it. 84 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.800 I believe we're on Wednesday record next week Yeah, correct, Yes. 85 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.120 I want to do it at a football ground. Okay, 86 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.080 well I don't know how to go about making Yeah. 87 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.039 The problem is Domin the producers just fucked off to 88 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.720 Florida randomly back next week just as a. 89 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.600 Child, and he has to go on holiday in the 90 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:22.800 school holidays, which. 91 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.839 Is just literally just randomly just just went you know, 92 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.480 usually these holidays you plan months year in advance for 93 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.439 you know, depending now just last week he went off. 94 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.319 By the way, is there anyone who doesn't fucking know 95 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.600 you know, someone who got in pre tickets to Universal? 96 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.800 Oh my god. Yeah, he knows everything, knows everything about everyone. 97 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.079 He's the most well connected man I've ever met. 98 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.000 But he can't get it in a football ground regularly. 99 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.920 It's based on del boy. You know, if you need something, 100 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.360 he'll get you, but probably through legal manners. I will 101 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.360 correct that. Yeah, maybe we can. But the point was 102 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.519 Wednesday record because obviously the games on Friday, and we've 103 00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.759 got another round on Monday as well. Not Charlie Show 104 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.639 about Eastern Monday, but we'll deal with that. So yeah, 105 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.399 so we'll be dropping a day ahead then your usual 106 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.800 expected thing, and then presumably we put it on site 107 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.079 for the enhancement on the Thursday. I think everything would 108 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.040 go a day ahead, wouldn't it. 109 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.079 Yeah, Those that aren't subscribed, definitely notification as to. 110 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.079 When it's published, and you don't forget that. There we 111 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.319 go saved subscribe, but smashing it. 112 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.240 So yeah, that'll be Wednesday next week. Before we get 113 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.160 into that, we've of course got this week and before 114 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.879 we get onto that midweek football. There was a lot 115 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.839 of it. We had an acha that didn't go well, 116 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.079 went oh right, went all right. The Sheffield boys disgraced yourself. 117 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.240 Birmingham got promoted. Oh yeah, you to congratulations to Birmingham. 118 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.279 By the way, they're promoted already got six games left, 119 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.319 they're on for one hundred and ten points, so well 120 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.639 on course to smash the record which I think is 121 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.120 one hundred and three set by Wolves. They got the 122 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.959 job done against Peterborough. As I said, their Sheffield Wednesday 123 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.199 were backed against Blackburn. If you backed it on a 124 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.199 two up sort of slip, you'd be paid out. Blackburn 125 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.519 have not won in ages. I didn't get I haven't 126 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.959 got a point in ages. Pulled him back to two 127 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.519 and chef United what the hell is going on? Yeah, 128 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.319 let's touch on that with Sheffield United, because. 129 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.240 Wilder came out swinging at the fans. Didn't it the 130 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:19.920 weekend as well? 131 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:20.199 Yeah? 132 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.519 Rightly, so rightly so I agree with that. Actually that 133 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.000 I think he was writing what he was saying for. 134 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.079 The listeners that don't know what he said, what what? 135 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.560 So he's basically was it they got bood to Oxford 136 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.879 or something. He's had to go at them saying it's 137 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.040 a disgrace. Look at how well we're doing effectively this 138 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.639 season and that game of day. That's fine. 139 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.680 It wasn't even an off day. They took their chance, 140 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.800 we didn't take our chance. It was a United game 141 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.920 that we've seen about forty one times this season and 142 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.480 it just didn't go our way. But the problem is 143 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.199 with that one is you'll probably know duff Man is 144 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.720 an avid football follower. I don't know about you, but 145 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.959 the Sheffield United away points system is flawed, so it's 146 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.040 just an accumulation of all time. So what you get 147 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.000 is the older fans get the priority tickets. So a 148 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.199 lot of these a lot of these away days, that is, 149 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.959 at most points, the older fans get the priority, they 150 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.360 get the first dips. So a lot of the away 151 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.959 dates were really small allocations. Just it should be like 152 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.240 your retirement. 153 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.959 Involve tickets avenue as well. Like you said, there's just 154 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.519 no away allocation. 155 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.959 Yeah yeah, there's just a load of old boys basically, yeah, yeah, 156 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.360 And I think that was the problem. But the United 157 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.439 game in midweek, while they come out and said, yeah, 158 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.000 you were right to boo. It was a bit. It 159 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:36.680 was a bit bad. 160 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.040 I did see people saying that this effect and kind 161 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.519 of as is the case when it gets the promotion time, 162 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.000 basically every kind of single result matters. But I saw 163 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.319 a lot of criticism online was the typical Wilder thing 164 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.199 of He'll come out swinging at the fans and then 165 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.040 the next game he'll pick the same eleven in a 166 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.639 it's my team, I'm doing it my way sort of thing. 167 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.639 They played badly, get beat it, and it's kind of 168 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.800 like you've had one off day that's then been followed 169 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.279 by an avoidable result. But it's almost like I'm making 170 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.319 a point, So this is what's happening. And then now 171 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.560 they've gone from a very comfortable position to quite vulnerable 172 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.439 because it's a Easter Monday. Keep getting Friday. It's Easter Monday. 173 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.160 They played Burnley in that that crucial game, but it 174 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.240 did feel a bit like that in midweek. But I 175 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.319 don't know if I'm right in saying that. 176 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.079 Yeah, but just going back to the fans quickly, I 177 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.439 remember I went to when we played you lot at home, 178 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.360 and after after you equalized. Though you went a goal ahead. 179 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.799 With the goal ahead, it's still like five six minutes 180 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.840 of injury time to play, like the cop just went 181 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.639 half empty. I couldn't get my head around it. And 182 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.919 there's a there is a genuine weird sense of entitlement 183 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.600 with United fans at the minute. Very annoying. But on Wilder, 184 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.720 he rested nice. He didn't put Vinnie Susar back into 185 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.480 the team. Him and Tanaka best too, midfielders in the league. 186 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.399 Stubbornness bang on. The last thing is imagine if we 187 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.120 didn't get that points deduction, three teams on eighty five. 188 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.480 Points would be unbelievable for him won it. We will 189 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.879 touch upon that Championship promotion race a little bit more 190 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.039 in a bit. When we talk about the Championship, let's start. 191 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.679 We also just need to congratulated Birmingham. We also need 192 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.440 to congratulate Southampton on being there. 193 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.000 Oh my god. I was generally going to bring this 194 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.000 up when we spoke about the Premier League, which actually 195 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.279 segues us into it nicely. Southampton relegated Ivan Urich. Apparently 196 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.519 he didn't really want to go, but Southampton did clause 197 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.039 Western out of the door. Absolutely no chance a we're 198 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.399 keeping new pal off you go wild. 199 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.200 And tom on you outright, we'll put it out in 200 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.879 the complete domain as well. 201 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.960 Nice ten to one winner. 202 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.120 I thought he'd walk after its which they won that 203 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.200 game and they made some signings, but we'll take it. 204 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.080 Fastest ever team to go down, right, yeah, seven team 205 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.960 in terms of game weeks. They are down at game 206 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.679 week thirty one. The previous record was the infamous Derby 207 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.919 team of seven oh eight and Huddersfield when they went 208 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.919 down joint relegated on game week thirty two. So Southampton 209 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.960 did that. By all reports, immediately the players didn't take 210 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.159 to Urich after a couple of training sessions, they just 211 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.240 didn't take to him whatsoever. And I think his appointment 212 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.840 was a bit of a no nonsense. We need someone 213 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.639 to come in and screaming and start sorting this team. 214 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.600 Out, which would be honest, hasn't worked out. 215 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.039 The appointment was just it was because they couldn't get 216 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.840 Danny Roll, and because it would have been too expensive 217 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.559 to get Danny Roll, because we know that he's their 218 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.480 chosen manager to take over, but to get him out 219 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.360 at that time it was going to cost ten million quid. 220 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.799 Southampton weren't going to pay that. They just wait for 221 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:23.240 the summer. 222 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.480 Danny Roll might be off to I'll be like sign 223 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.320 now see that candidate, isn't it If I was him, 224 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.279 That's where I would be going. 225 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:30.559 You know. 226 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.559 The hilarious thing is Russell Martin took another job so 227 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.639 they could just say do you want to come back? 228 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.960 Sorry about that, Russell. I did have the theory on 229 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.960 Monday morning where I said that don't know before allers 230 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.080 came out. My theory was, if Southampton won Danny Roll, 231 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.399 they're already relegated, there's potentially something that in the Yurichs 232 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.480 thing they can get rid of him. Why don't they 233 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.440 go to Sheffield Wednesday? Who have a cash flow issue, 234 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.559 need to pay place, need to make payment by Monday 235 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.399 to avoid a three transfer window ban? 236 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:02.879 Was it? 237 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.559 Why didn't Southampton go to Wednesday Cy will negotiate a 238 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.639 cut price for role, but will give you the money today, 239 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.120 effectively that we can get it done. It's far less 240 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.480 than any clause, but it helped solve that problem. And 241 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.120 then it came out that Urich had left Southampton and 242 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.440 about half an hour later Sheffield Wednesday. Would you like 243 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.039 to confirm everyone's been paid, we've avoided any embargoes. Maybe 244 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.120 it happened in the background, so a shit of a genius. 245 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.039 I've done it, and I have a genius. Oh my god, 246 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.840 I've done it in the summer. Yeah, maybe it did 247 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.960 in the background. But Southampton are down this week they 248 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:40.320 play Aston Villa m This is an incredibly tricky one 249 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.679 to call because did we watch Villa at PSG last night? 250 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.960 I think not too many complaints about the results, ultimately, 251 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.919 as frustrating as that final goal will be, and you 252 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.440 could kind of see it in the reaction of the 253 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.320 PSG bench that they knew how crucial that third goal 254 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.399 was later on because at two to one going to 255 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.879 Villa Park, I think maybe they could sneaker one nil, 256 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.639 as they kind of did against Bayern Munich and then 257 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.320 you go to penalties and stuff like that, but they 258 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.440 were comfortably outplayed. It's a very tough one for Villa 259 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.279 to call. This isn't it. It's how many changes do 260 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.360 you make the tie still effectively alive in the Champions League. 261 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.000 It's only two goals as good as PSGR. It's not 262 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.919 like there Dortmund who got hammered formillat Bar that tie 263 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.360 is done. A lot of people were drawn to this 264 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.720 game because Villa are above one to two against one 265 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.519 of the worst sides the Premier League's ever seen. Would 266 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.159 you touch this game? Would you gamble on that price 267 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:40.720 or not? Because Villa rotation now is very very good 268 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.600 compared to what it was. And even if they do 269 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:47.639 rotate relatively heavily, they're still in a strong position because 270 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:52.039 ultimately they've still got now a top five confirmed to 271 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.879 go for. They are still well alive in that they 272 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.960 are only two points behind Newcastle and Chelsea. They've still 273 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.679 got a lot to play for. 274 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:00.960 Yeah, big time, and like so that the depth is 275 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.039 just so it's so impressive now. 276 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:04.159 All over the pitch. 277 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.799 You could literally bring in a new front three from 278 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.559 what played in midweek and and it'd still be better 279 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.799 than what Southampton could deal with. I mean, the main 280 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.320 reason why I'm hesitating, it's just the fact that Southampton 281 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.240 has now got rid of you Urich, so they've got that. 282 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.080 It's not a new manager bounds, but they might be 283 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.399 a little bit relieved to get out of the work. 284 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.519 You see it from relegated teams all the time. The 285 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.120 pressure is off now, isn't it. And it's well, yeah, 286 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.799 it doesn't really matter now you don't feel the pressure 287 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.559 of having to win. 288 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.840 And they've taken one of Darby's records. I don't think 289 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.279 they're gonna want to take another one. So I think 290 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.080 that they're going to be trying all they can to 291 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.480 get two more points from now to the end of 292 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:36.919 the season. 293 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.879 Who's the new manage, who's the temporary guy? 294 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.639 Rusk Adam Lana is in part of the back room 295 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.159 as well as. 296 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.759 The Ruskies academy. I think he's had one senior manager 297 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.159 or spell and it was at Stockport in the National League. 298 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.600 Didn't go well, but by all accounts is very highly 299 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.440 rated at Brighton when he was the academy coach there. 300 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.000 I think because it was Ruben Seller's last time, wasn't it. Yeah, 301 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.039 And I think when Sellers left, my guess would be 302 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.080 Rush potentially came in. I'm not entirely sure on that, 303 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.879 but senior football management very limited. 304 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.879 Well. I was just wondering because if they all hated 305 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.120 Yoich and then they've got someone who's going to be 306 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.720 good cop coming in. Now, don't worry about Alana. They 307 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.399 come on, let's give these You're not playing with any 308 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.200 pressure anymore either, I know, and Uric probably was putting 309 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.720 them under quite a lot of pressure. Yeah, I know, 310 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.600 and I know. I know. Over there we've got brilliant 311 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.000 squad depth now, but them after York's always been a 312 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.360 bit of a bit of a no go zone. 313 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.639 Yeah, that's the thing. 314 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.679 I mean, Like I said that, the the record after 315 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.240 the Champions League is horrendous this season, but most of 316 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.840 that did come when they're in the middle of a 317 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.080 really big injury crisis and they didn't have the players 318 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.879 to rotate. Whereas now you've got Marlin obviously, since you 319 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.480 have come off the bench in midweek, you can start 320 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.320 Watkins starting midweek. Even in midfield, you've got Andrea Narna 321 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.679 that can come in, even defense if you wanted to, 322 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.600 You've got Mings who can come in for Torres. They've 323 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.399 got two left backs too, right back, so they're pretty 324 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:01.720 stacked if they did want to rotate. 325 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.759 It's just it's a really important game for. 326 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.399 Villa, and you could argue the schedules fall them really 327 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.799 kindly for them to have this game in the middle 328 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.480 of the two Champions League matches and not like a 329 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.759 away game at Chelsea. There's actually quite a big game 330 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.799 for the top five. So part of me says that 331 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.320 that price is too big for a team chasing the 332 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.879 top five, a team that's. 333 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:23.799 Going down as one of the worst ever. 334 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.600 But it's just nagging out still about the fact that 335 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.519 if you'r was in charge just to be an automatic 336 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.759 bet for me, illu straight in because but the feel 337 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.159 good factor might be back. I don't know if you 338 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.120 can feel good about sitting on ten points after. 339 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:42.120 Let's feel worse. That is disgraceful. By what the hell 340 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:46.559 are you doing clapping them off like abuse? Right, fine, 341 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.200 don't clap them. That's the worst thing. Thank you for 342 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.960 giving us a season of absolute misery. Thank you for that. 343 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.519 Thank you. I've paid top prices to watch. You have 344 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.840 no idea what you're doing. 345 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.960 For the last day with them when they come over. 346 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.399 Well, I mean I would replicate when Leeds went down 347 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.519 and the iconic moment of that was that it was right, 348 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.799 very much up against it. Western McKenny is now doing 349 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.159 very well at Juventus all accounts, and joined on second 350 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.759 half of the season alone and Leeds summed up probably 351 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.639 their relegation by when he got subbed off, greeted said 352 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.799 goodbye to him by chanting you fat over and over again. 353 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.080 So I'd probably take that more approach, certainly not applause 354 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.080 asolutely from from one record breaker to another, writ and 355 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.600 play Leicester three to ten. Leicester, congratulations to them. Of course, 356 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.120 it's not all about Southampton breaking records. They became the 357 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.960 first team in Football League history to lose eight home 358 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.120 league games in a row without scoring against Newcastle on 359 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.120 Monday Night where they were terrible. They nearly scored early 360 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.519 on to be fair as oh here we go, right, 361 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.279 they're a bit of fighting them, No, didn't happen. Atrocious side, 362 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.120 hilarious backline for the Premier League that they're operating with. 363 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.640 They go to Brighton again it's a question of price. 364 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.079 But I imagine when people look down the slate, and 365 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.240 you obviously naturally always start in the Premier League because 366 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.400 chronological order, it's always at the top of your bet slips, 367 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.599 there will be a team that jump out. Brighton who 368 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.480 are still in a decent enough position, aren't they in 369 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.599 terms of the European places? Where are they ninth in 370 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:23.440 the moment. 371 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.920 Four points behind seventh place, which currently gets your conference. 372 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.559 Well in the mix for that and Leicester are hopeless. 373 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:32.920 Oh, Leicester are going to be gone soon, aren't they. 374 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.960 Mathematically they could go down this week and. 375 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.799 Then they can this week. Well, I think it's a 376 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.240 couple of weeks would be effectively, is on gold. 377 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.519 Not actual with the red red arrow. Yeah, just they're 378 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.880 just rubbish. I mean that that appointment of Ruben Astroid 379 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:56.839 looks like one of the worst in Premier League history. 380 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.000 Because Steve Cooper might may. 381 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.920 Have had a better chance. God definitely got far more points. 382 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.400 They probably scored a goal, yeah, Christ. 383 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.480 They would have been much more competitive in this some 384 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.279 of these games. Yeah. 385 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.039 Again, it's just a question of do you trust Brighten 386 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.559 at that price because these are the kind of teams 387 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.640 that they've struggled with recently. 388 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.240 Yeah. On that against the bottom five, they've won two 389 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.200 of seven, but at home they've drawn against Wolves, drew 390 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.480 against it which drew against Southampton. Something about this, But 391 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.920 I don't know if he's tweaked. 392 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.279 Lost to Everton. Was that under dish and that was 393 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.440 Moys That was Moys one. 394 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:32.079 I'm not sure, but I don't know if Heurtzeler's changed 395 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.880 it a little bit. He's tweaked his system, so I 396 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.400 don't know, to be more equipped but again it just 397 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:37.200 at that price. 398 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.000 I don't think I want to go near that game either. 399 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.119 Do just check out with my mate have mentioned about 400 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.119 from UNI before he got rid of a season ticket 401 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.680
