1:04

I know this is a little bit outside of the bounds of this but you know this week was a little bit of a drag on this

1:10

on the season and a little bit of like trying to get up for it you know we had the bad Liverpool game

1:15

against Crystal Palace City sort of thrash Bournemouth and we're in a little bit of the doldrums after the World Cup

1:21

we're now sort of running things and I get these moments every once in a while where I'm just like why do I bother

1:28

I do two hours of podcasts I do two hours of sports and I do struggle with

1:34

the I don't know how else to say it the kind of like why am I doing this why do I follow

1:40

Sports what is it for why am I driving myself nuts and I often go into this when I think about

1:48

you know should I be doing more should I be doing this should I be learning how to shoot a bow should I be learning how

1:53

to fix a car and I go well I do four I watch a whole day on Saturday four hours

1:59

of Premier League football then another three hours to four hours a week on the

2:04

podcast what could I be doing with that full day of sport dedication and I think

2:10

to myself man could I be more could I be less and I and I do ask you know why do we follow

2:16

Sports what does it do for us is it the Endeavor of seeing incredible athletes

2:21

doing incredible things is it there to make us feel to like why is this thing

2:27

grabbing me why am I sucked in you know sometimes in the abstract you watch TV

2:32

and you watch sports you might be on your phone you kind of lose the moments but then you get sucked back in and I

2:37

just think about the uh final game of the season Aston Villa being up two

2:43

goals and City pulling it out with ilki gundogan scoring two goals in five minutes and City winning the league and

2:49

those are moments where you you chase them they become like a drug like a like like heroin like well how do I get

2:56

that Sports fix again and I guess I'm missing that at the moment I feel it

3:01

once in a while I hope the Champions League rekindles it I'm not jaded I'm not like oh why do I bother but I do it

3:09

is something that creeps into my head and I wonder that everyone else felt the same way you know how do you how do you

3:14

keep your sport love going how do you keep uh caring about it how do you keep matter how do you keep making it matter

3:20

and for me it's been this podcast it's been the WhatsApp group Manny John Alex

3:26

BJ Salerno just keeping everything going keeping the names the faces Christian

3:33

out and in in Nottingham bringing photos of forest to our games uh Redmond uh

3:40

bringing me shots of his running across New York City uh and and Chari telling

3:45

us about what's going on at top so the gang that's regularly in our group keep me going keep the show going and I

3:52

wonder what keeps everyone else going you know is it is it just to be part of a group what do we do it for what it

3:58

what is it what is it giving us uh and I do wonder about that often anyway let's

4:03

get to the show first we will go to

4:09

the FA Cup and I'll give you the scores before we get into the Great and

4:15

Powerful Harry the haddock um so we have the FA Cup fifth round just

4:23

finished and we had some really good upsets first um Grimsby town in the second division

4:29

recently up from Northampton uh from the northern leagues beating Southampton two

4:35

to one this is not the giant killing it sounds like yes it's a Premier League team yes it's a good win but uh

4:43

Southampton did play a weekend side and if Southampton is a relegation team and

4:49

they went young and they played a week inside you can imagine how poor they were but let's get to the rest of the

4:56

scores Brighton Advanced to the quarterfinals defeating Stoke on a nice goal by Ferguson from matomo they play

5:03

well looked good for me Blackburn defeat Leicester city Leicester still listless not playing

5:09

well they Advance City defeat Bristol City not too much to ride home about

5:15

this one a good foden game but Bristol City didn't really give much the aforementioned Grisby Town Harry the

5:20

haddock defeats Southampton at home Mighty Burnley defeat Fleetwood Town who

5:25

were down a man they left it late into the 85th minute Fulham defeat leads on a great Paulina goal uh leads not really

5:33

showing too much United leave it to what squeaky bum time to defeat West Ham uh

5:40

3-1 garnacho with the beautiful goal there and mighty Sheffield United on a change team defeat Tottenham uh and

5:48

advance to the quarter finals so our round eight looks like this

5:55

um round eight looks like this city let me just get the draw sorry about that I

6:01

thought I had it up but I missed it uh the draw looks like this the weekend of March 18th City play

6:09

Burnley Vincent company returns to Man City meant at home man united at home get

6:16

Fulham not an easy game United Sheffield United versus Blackburn Rovers we will have a non-premier league side uh in it

6:23

and then Brighton draw Grimsby at home all Premier League

6:28

teams at home that's a big payday for Grimsby town and we go to see the

6:34

Mariners of Grimsby and their giant killing Grimsby Town very small club uh I knew a woman who I

6:42

worked with that tops who was from Grimsby an awful red-headed but let's not talk about her

6:47

um but yeah Grimsby are in Lincolnshire way out in the middle of nowhere um had some early history uh were

6:54

participants in one of the largest attended games and FA Cup history 100

7:00

000 at Old Trafford in the 30s uh but had been in hard times and had fallen

7:05

out of the league so last season we've talked about wrexham a lot Grimsby town were the team that put out wrexham

7:12

Grimsby were in the National League as we know from watching wrexham a very

7:17

tough tough tough Division and Grimsby got out of it through the playoffs

7:22

um uh Sully home Moore's I believe got it went up on their own is that right I could have beat I could be wrong but

7:28

doesn't matter but Grimsby defeated um defeated rexham to take their spot and Grimsby went into League two but

7:35

Grimsby have a lot of history they've been up and down the Premier League they're a small fishing Village uh in

7:41

the Northeast sort of about 100 miles south of of um

7:47

of Newcastle in the kind of like that Eastern side of England where no one lives everybody lives in the center in

7:53

the middle and in the western sides the Eastern side's all Marsh and kind of weird and so it's a little bit more

7:58

isolated Grimsby is a well supported where they are from but a small town uh

8:04

they get past uh Southampton who are really poor and just didn't really put

8:10

up much of a fight on two penalties now to be fair to um Southampton they took like 20 shots

8:18

and just could not get the goals they needed to uh defeat the mighty haddock

8:24

yeah 22 shots three on target listen Grimsby only had three shots on target two of them were penalties it gives you

8:30

a sense of where this game was yeah um not much for them but the big deal for

8:37

this is that this is a League two team making it into the FA

8:44

Cup quarterfinals this is what an open system of football looks like in the

8:50

United States we have the U.S open cup they don't even know the schedule until two weeks before it starts it starts

8:57

really regionally it doesn't really manage the country really well to be fair to the US Open cup it has been

9:04

9:10

the cup I mean we prefer a team like Grimsby town you know we know that the FA Cup starts

9:16

with 792 teams and to be Grimsby town at

9:21

the bottom of League two in 16th Place not in a relegation Zone they're not going to go down to the National League again but to be

9:29

in the last eight for this team it makes their season now would they have rather had United sure because that's a bigger

9:36

payday because they share the gate but they will get Brighton they will have a

9:41

chance to show who they are uh none of these guys are big name players but for their division

9:47

um they're pretty good like Gavin hollahan who did score the two penalties took two penalties he showed uh Harry

9:54

Kane how it's done um on either side of the half

9:59

you know as a guy who plays in a national league Republic of Ireland so this is an Irish kid immigrant playing

10:05

in the freaking swamps of Grimsby in a fishing town and uh they just get a

10:11

chance to move on what's great about Grimsby is they've got an amazing mascot called uh Harry the haddock people carry

10:19

around plastic fish people wear fish masks at the stadium uh just a little

10:24

bit of a weird thing that you pick up from these local clubs and these are what make the FA Cup so fantastic it's

10:29

just this opportunity of learning about another team learning about a small team

10:35

and it's what works for football it's what makes it such a fabric of people's

10:42

lives these folks out of Grimsby are going to have a day they're gonna go

10:47

down to the South Coast they're going to go to Brighton uh they're going to go to a real place unlike Grimsby uh I'm just

10:54

hammering on it because you know it's fun and they're gonna find out about how well they can go in the FA Cup so it's a

11:01

really big deal to them it makes a huge difference their manager uh Paul Hurst should feel a lot of credit uh and they

11:09

should feel really good about where they are in this season so cool for them

11:14

cool for everyone else I'm just going to give a little bit of conversation around

11:23

other FA Cup items Tottenham

11:28

another opportunity for silverware goes wanting against Sheffield now Sheffield

11:33

are a good team they're not as good as Tottenham uh Tottenham should not be losing

11:39

to Sheffield United now did

11:45

Spurs start Harry Kane in this game no but they should have enough I think the

11:50

key thing here is that rich Allison isn't really doing that well he's not been able to

11:56

um replace the goals and and give the production that I think Spurs were looking for uh so he doesn't score and

12:03

Tottenham just sort of whimper out of this one goal drought they still haven't won

12:08

12:14

um you know they do still have the Champions League they're not going to win the Premier League so the darkness for uh Spurs

12:24

continues um for United this is a nice win a

12:30

little squeaky bum time a little energy they keep the momentum going the 10 hog Revolution is still revolutionizing I

12:38

think veg horse again is the leader of the

12:44

cheerleaders within the context of this um these matches so it is cool to see uh

12:53

he's still part of this club he's still driving him forward he leads the celebrations

12:59

there's something about veg horse that I think United fans probably really like they know that he's pressing they know

13:06

that he's putting in effort they know that he's not really supposed to be there he's a he's a weirdo he's a little

13:13

bit of a gangly guy and he gets to be playing Striker for for Manchester United and I think he

13:20

knows that and I think it shows in his play and it makes it for a nice story around about veg Horst and the rest of

13:28

the boys um from United uh other things around the FA Cup

13:35

City again not really a problem they move on more interesting in that you

13:40

know it didn't hurt the team uh Rico Lewis back in the side not really too exciting the biggest thing is that we

13:46

draw Burnley and we get Vince and Company back uh playing against Pep Guardiola exciting stuff there and a

13:53

little bit on Burnley being sort of crap but this is an opportunity for certain teams to win more trophies it's an

13:59

opportunity for you know the favorites now I've got to be United in City uh Manchester Darby could be the final

14:06

pretty easy to have happen you never know with the draws but uh that's where we are there now we change gears away

14:14

from the AFA cup we had two midweek games of two teams uh on different

14:21

spectrums but we had first we go to Arsenal uh they played

14:27

Everton first 40 minutes of this game not really much in the way of anything

14:32

uh wasn't really exciting I thought really Everton played well they played

14:37

their game they did what they were supposed to do then a bit of real magic from Saka the pass and the turn into

14:45

space Saka just fires it in from zinchenko if I remember zinchenko fires

14:51

it into Saka Saka takes it on the half turn spins gets into a tricky area you

14:57

know near post on the goal side and fires it in top bins it's very much

15:04

the Aguero goal around my cat gotten away go

15:12

uh very much the Aguero style top bins and once the goal came then Martinelli

15:17

got another one on a mistake by uh that Saka actually created on a mistake by

15:22

gay so Arsenal win in level two nil and then I think Everton were cooked uh

15:28

odegard with a really nice gold deflected in and then Martinelli with another one off his right foot and

15:34

Arsenal Cruz three nil really not a problem sorry fournil really not a

15:40

problem they cement this is the this is the world famous game in hand that when you're charging for the title you need

15:46

it so they are now clear of unite of City uh Five Points a

15:54

goal a draw and a loss so not that much but it just means that you know they

15:59

have a loss that they can give um there's gonna be tougher games but I

16:04

think the blip that we saw from Arsenal was righted they had the issue

16:10

at Aston Villa that big comeback really made a difference on the two games they lost then you have the Leicester game

16:17

which was so easy it was so weird but Arsenal back in the driver's seat back

16:22

moving again got everything in line there's a lot of georginio love coming

16:27

there's a lot of uh trust our love coming I think one of the things that I find really interesting about that move

16:33

was we heard them wanting mudric and

16:38

um who's I don't remember the other Center they were in for somebody but they clearly had another plan pivoted

16:44

quickly went to trussard boom boom oh then they got uh georginio boom boom

16:50

not a problem like they had contingency plan they probably had like five or six names ready to go and that's the sign of

16:57

a good club I think if you remember uh United would get into trouble with this

17:02

they would have one Target and just Chase Chase Chase Chase Chase and we saw that last off season in the transfer

17:09

market with the Young The Young The Young The Young The Young and then they get casimiro and we were like oh what's this is this just a bad deal and it ends

17:16

up being working out but it was a weird transfer market and a weird process on

17:21

how they got that moving and so I think about that and the way um Arsenal did their business and they

17:29

recharged I think the trussard move is really good it sort of solidifies the

17:34

Saka Martinelli otogard group with trosard as a strong three Jesus will

17:40

come back does a little bit of refreshing a little bit of push uh on the

17:46

Everton side they need goals um Neil mope is just

17:52

he was a problem for Brighton in scoring goals and now he's not even taking shots

17:57

uh Brighton created more than enough chances for him to score now he's just

18:02

fluffing he had a couple chances to get in on uh didn't take a shot took extra

18:08

touches chances went longing and he got pulled so the issue for the Great and

18:15

Powerful Everton is you know it's nice they played okay they had opportunities

18:20

they didn't have like a bad goal difference they had a XG of 1.2 which is decent even though they gave up one

18:26

extra point three they shot themselves in the foot so that's fine but um they need to score goals uh they put five

18:33

shots on target which is a good number for Everton when they put five shots on target they need a goal out of that so

18:41

that's where they are and when we go on to our friends at Liverpool uh this was

18:48

a tricky game I thought uh sort of quiet for a while let me just make sure I got

18:55

the right game there are games that pop into my head and then I forget I forget what actually happened in them

19:02

yeah this game was left late it was nil nil Van Dyke with the goal then Sala

19:08

late yeah um and Liverpool huffed and puffed I thought they created chances I thought they played well I think for

19:14

Liverpool these these clean sheets are good um they have two clean sheets in a row and their problem was Defensive they

19:22

were giving up too many goals and too many opportunities and they really didn't give wolves anything only one shot on target so good baby steps for

19:30

Liverpool moving into sixth getting themselves in a position for

19:36

of the top six now Liverpool in sixth

19:42

um Newcastle and Spurs

19:47

feel weak to me and Liverpool is right on their heels now Liverpool can take one of their

19:53

spots uh they're six points behind Spurs but their goal difference is the same

19:59

their quality is the same they're both a little bit flawed at this point I think

20:04

uh if you look at the underlying numbers the XG difference against Liverpool's

20:11

stands at 10 uh Spurs is at four at six excuse me so in terms of quality

20:17

Liverpool are the best of the group um aside from Newcastle who's was much

20:23

higher but theirs is mostly based on defensive numbers uh Liverpool's

20:29

actually right in line with where you'd expect they have a goal difference of 12 their XG is 10. so they're essentially

20:38

playing as you'd expect them to um and then Newcastle probably are in a dip and form I they're

20:47

probably a step away so it's really between Liverpool and Spurs and I think

20:52

in the long run you trust Liverpool to find a way um especially with jota coming back

20:58

especially with Diaz a couple weeks away I think all those pieces that Liverpool

21:04

have been missing getting them back I mean as I like to say if you've listened to show for the long time

21:09

you know football's a weak link Sport and it's not always a direct issue

21:17

that can help you right like getting jota and Diaz can actually help the Liverpool defense because of the way

21:24

they press the way they change things if you look at what's happened that a good example is look for what's happened that

21:29

man united getting rid of Ronaldo and replacing him without Vegas has completely changed the value of

21:37

Fernandez and rashford because he's doing all the work he's doing all the running he's doing all the pressing and

21:44

creating problems that creates attacking opportunities that score goals or stop a run from actually getting to a defense

21:51

so you can defend from the front and the more options Liverpool has up front to defend the less times their defense is

21:58

going to be exposed the less times the Midfield has to be the one challenging so maybe you know this a stronger link

22:05

up front will change the way Liverpool can score and and they'll move forward um because I don't see much from Spurs

22:13

that's gonna pick them up I mean it'll be tight I just think I trust Liverpool's

22:20

institutional DNA to get them out of their Funk and cover the six points uh

22:26

ahead of Tottenham that's just my own thinking now on the Tottenham side they could be going well Sun hasn't scored

22:33

any goals yet so why are you saying why are you saying that uh why are you why

22:38

are you pushing that um that narrative so uh yeah I do think about that and then before we go further

22:46

into um the man united preview of Liverpool I

22:52

want to do I do want to touch a bit more on the um on the Bristol City result for

22:59

City uh this is a foden Alvarez attack fodin and Alvarez are really good really

23:06

young City getting into gear getting themselves together do have Newcastle on

23:13

the weekend uh lunchtime game will be difficult um the 3-3 at St James's Park Forest

23:22

City was a watershed game it was the moment that pep decided we're not going

23:29

head-to-head with people we're not playing up and down we're not just going to kick the ball to Holland we're going

23:35

to control games and that was a moment where City season kind of contracted a little bit and we decided to be more

23:44

defensive and that's when he started pulling people into the Midfield more uh than playing a back four and just going

23:49

up and down he got scared of Newcastle uh but this is again this is a week in

23:55

Newcastle coming off the um League Cup that they'll be completely

24:02

disappointed about uh and now going into a game where they really can't create anything uh City are a good opponent for

24:09

Newcastle because Newcastle want to go on a break but if City or get more pragmatic like they have been they may

24:15

just sit deep if they get an early goal and just be like okay I have Newcastle try and break us down uh because they

24:20

can't they really can't so um that's really where we are and interested there now

24:28

I'll take us on to we talked a little bit about

24:33

Liverpool talked a little bit about United in their West Ham game now the two meet

24:40

in their Premier League Clash on Sunday

24:45

this is a much much much bigger game for Liverpool than it is for United United are living

24:54

on their League Cup um they're ahead of schedule as well they're pretty ensconced in the top

25:00

three I don't think they really think they're going to um

25:06

go for the title this year but for Liverpool uh winning a game away is it

25:11

away uh let me just make sure just gotta check I think it's on Sunday

25:20

I have it in front of me and then I lost it so these are the sort of things that happen when you're recording live it is

25:26

at anfield so Sunday late um the crowd will be wild uh Liverpool

25:31

at anfield taking on Man United I mean it's Advantage United for sure

25:38

but if Liverpool want to get their season moving in the right direction

25:44

this is the game they absolutely must have

25:50

um you know we know how these two teams play we know that Diaz Tiago are out

25:55

um Joe Gomez still doubtful Erickson and Marshall still out looks

26:01

like Sancho's out might not come back we'll see

26:07

um and Luke Shaw looks like he picked up a knock against West Ham and we'll see

26:13

where these two teams go but it's closer than you'd expect young basitic is going

26:18

to have to play more of a role he's going to have to handle casimiro's sabitzer and Fernandez and we'll see how

26:26

this goes I think that I think that we see real Liverpool come

26:34

out uh it'll be one of these things where

26:39

if United can survive the first 25 minutes against Liverpool and not

26:46

concede then I think their win but if Liverpool can score a couple early or a

26:52

goal early put pressure on United then then I think the crowd at anfield will

26:57

push them on um I don't I don't view this as a

27:04

as a real Madrid situation where where United can come back they're not

27:09

quite at that level they've been winning good games I get it it's nice it's a good story rashford on form but

27:18

Liverpool at anfield against United is different gravy this is a different

27:23

thing um klopp will be into the boys to try and find a way forward and get this thing

27:31

done Van Dyke being back is a big deal um but we'll see what happens there it's

27:38

six versus three there's a ten point gap one thing that's interesting historically is how

27:45

Liverpool and Manchester United are never great at the

27:50

same time it's like there can only be one red team that's really good at the same time I'd love for it to have happen

27:56

one day where it's Liverpool and Man United being in the city Liverpool spot or the

28:03

man united Arsenal spot where they go head to head for five years but they're really good I don't know if those days

28:08

are ever gonna be back I don't know uh how those days will come back uh because

28:13

it would mean that my team's in bad shape but um it's a huge deal for

28:19

Liverpool and speaking of old time matchups we have

28:26

Chelsea versus Leeds one of the great rivalries of the 60s and the 70s I don't

28:33

know if you know this but we'll go in the history machine leads represent Yorkshire and working

28:40

class and Chelsea in the 60s represented swinging London they had rest in peace

28:46

Raquel Welch was one of their fans and there was a moment in the 60s where Chelsea were fashionable in the King's

28:53

29:00

was just pure violence and uh while Chelsea was the flash team leads and

29:07

Chelsea played the same way they were both heavy defense heavy you know getting stuck in kind of style and when

29:15

they win against each other they were just kicked the out of each other blood everywhere shins cracking and just

29:23

29:30

that that rivalry really ended there was a there's a couple of polls and you can look them up on Wikipedia around Chelsea

29:37

and leads just having this eternal connection between them now neither of

29:43

these teams come in in great form we know about leads they're in their relegation Zone but they keep playing

29:49

well but not putting anything together on the other side we have Chelsea that

29:55

is just a complete mess um Potter has got to win these games I mean

30:03

if there's a must win for Potter it's got to be this I mean we cannot say it

30:09

enough and now that Thiago Silva's out for Chelsea

30:15

this is a massive massive game uh Potter has to find a way to win I think if he

30:22

loses I think if he loses he he's got to get fired I mean it's not

30:28

like Bully is some kind of altruistic guy it's just he has to fire him

30:34

because the team's a mess we like what's happening with Audrey Gracia at Leeds

30:41

he's going to bring some stability maybe that will be in Chelsea's favor but this is about as must win a game as you'll

30:48

find uh there's nothing from the board from Chelsea that's saying they're going to fire him but this is one of those

30:54

things where Boley is going to very quickly learn that the fans are a fourth estate in football and if they don't

31:02

and if Chelsea have another bad performance at home versus leads in the gorillaigation zone They will riot they

31:10

will throw at him if Potter thinks that his family is getting harassed and

31:16

attacked and uh and getting terrible notes sent to them now wait till you

31:21

lose to leads one of Chelsea's historical Rivals and anyone who knows

31:26

anything about the club knows that this is a big one and knows that this one matters and knows that this is a fight

31:32

to the death and knows that Chelsea are now sinking and falling apart and if

31:37

Potter does not find a level of aggression that he can convey to his

31:43

side that this matters he should get out there and start kicking guys in kneecaps because it's time for Chelsea

31:50

to show that you are a team and not a bunch of mercenaries there for a

31:55

check play for the match that lion means something have hearts of lions

32:02

you know that Leeds is going to bring it every one of those guys who plays for leads the fans at Leeds demand that from

32:09

the players and Gracia gets that he's a football man he'll

32:16

convey that to the players and I think Ellen Road does lift the team so the players know even though they're going

32:21

on the road to Stamford Bridge they'll get that feeling I don't know if the Chelsea players are connected to the club enough to feel the sort of pain of

32:28

the of the fans but there's a couple other uh games I'd like to go through I'll just run down

32:34

the schedule early on Saturday I'll be up at 5 30. no I won't City go a host Newcastle in a

32:43

big game Arsenal get Bournemouth at home about his Cakewalk as a cakewalk can be Aston Villa and Crystal Ballas at Villa

32:51

Park Crystal Palace need a win too many draws too many draws Aston Villa flying

32:57

playing well the aforementioned Chelsea host Leeds United Brighton play West Ham

33:02

that should be a good one I'm kind of interested in how bright and play against West Ham West Ham still need a

33:08

win uh the mighty powerful wolves take on Tottenham at the molineux I do not

33:14

want to watch this game then a relegation six-pointer uh Southampton V Leicester Leicester need a good result

33:20

after just being terrible uh against in the FA Cup and against Arsenal I should

33:27

mention Lester beat Southampton twice 9-0 or once could be bad then a real relegation six

33:35

pointer at home Nottingham Forest first Everton Everton desperate for this game tricky trees

33:41

slipping back down into the relegation Zone they need their home ground I could

33:46

see this being a nil nil or one one then Liverpool Man United at anfield

33:52

late on Sunday and we have a Monday nighter Brentford at home

33:58

at night versus Fulham Brentford at home at night that's just

34:03

about his money in the bank as a game you can find but uh yeah that's the schedule let's

34:10

just make sure that we cover off our FA Cup so in two weeks time we've got the

34:15

FA Cup quarterfinals City versus Burnley man united Fulham Sheffield versus Blackburn Brighton vs Grimsby

34:23

and we have this weekend what I just read there's so many games going on then we'll have more European games we'll

34:30

have more games games games games ugh football man football is crazy football

34:36

makes you feel football keeps you on your toes

34:43

um I think that's all I've got for today trying to think of anything else that's

34:49

out there in my brain as I think about where we are for the Premier League

34:55

where we are in the FA Cup where we are for Chelsea and Leeds where we are for

35:01

United and Liverpool where we are for Arsenal Arsenal with a five-point lead

35:07

35:15

with five point leads after 25 games have ever blown the title Newcastle 95-96

35:22

35:29

it's about as close to being locked up as possible but

35:34

it's City chasing you City are tough City will come I'm
