Tooney and Russo behind closed doors | The Tooney & Russo Show - Ep 5

To really get to know someone you’ve got to find out what they’re like at home so Vick dedicates this episode to what Tooney and Less are like behind closed doors.
They discuss what it was like when they lived together and competing in ‘Come Dine With Me’ against fellow team mates at Manchester United and Less reveals why she ‘sacked herself’ from her first job before turning to professional football.
This episode was pre-recorded on 25th April 2024.

I heard on tiktok that Russo has a phobia of belly buttons, is it true? I have it too 😬 What other irrational phobias do you both have? Xxx

[@Nataliaill]

I always look forward to Mondays now! I really want the girls to do the thing they do on the radio where people call someone, try to guess if they are sitting or standing and ask are you sitting or standing. I feel like it would be sooo funny !!

[@AaronDunworth]

The conversational flow between the three of you is wonderful and seems so effortless and genuine. I’m so glad you decided to start this podcast and share a bit of yourselves with your fans. Can’t wait for the next episode and I also can’t wait to see what you both do next season.

[@therealsm17]

love listening to the pod after school on monday after a stressful day because of GCSE’s this podcast is what i listen to on the bus on the way home

[@crispendaysh3401]

It’s been great listening to both toone and Russo and the host. I want to just say congratulations to Ella toone and Manchester United for winning the fa cup, that one goal she scored was brilliant, at 1st I wasn’t sure but then realised it was a goal brilliant. I hope toone doesn’t leave united, besides it’s gutting about may Earps and Garcia leaving. We need a really good replacement for both players.

[@FootballFamous264]

Garcia and earps aren’t leaving but they are in the transfer windows but it’s not for definite that there leaving

[@crispendaysh3401]

@@FootballFamous264 I know mary Earps is on going with her contract negotiations, I heard Garcia is going but we’re see. We’re have to wait and see what happens

[@crispendaysh3401]

I just realised I said may Earps not Mary lol hehe

[@maureen3300]

If both leaves ,I will leave united as a fan.Especially now thatSkinner signed another contract,he does need to be sacked for united been fifth on the Table,A big shame.if Mary leaves,where will she go.?Arsenal,Sabs is leaving and we don’t know about Zinsberger.

[@maureen3300]

I can see Less and Tooney getting MBE soon.it’s high time they do.Tooney goal in the FA Cup was something else,she has done it before.I don’t want to suck on the 6-0 loss to Chelsea.it’s very annoying,as if Mearps was a basket,where was the DEFENDERS?

[@itsallGudmin]

I love that they complete each other's sentences like so casually... Literally sisters for life ❤❤

[@Urfavvv.1ucyyy]

I cant wait for this next episode! Tooney and Less are my inspirations and i cannot tell you how much i want to be like them when i am older. They are so iconic and i love their friendship so much. They are an inseparable duo and they are always joined at the hip which i love. Congrats to Ella for winning the fa cup! And also for winning Player of the season! I am so proud of you! Thanks for being you and being my inspirations from day 1❤🤩

A question for a future episode / When you move to a new club, what do you do with the tracksuits and training gear you had from your previous club?

[@DxxxLxxxxx-iw1ox]

SO enjoyable! Especially on a Monday! Alessia Russo has a perfect ASMR voice! It's SO soothing 😌. Have to watch each episode 2x @ least. Love the back & forth & contrast in personalities amongst all three! Toone-Brutally honest. Russo-kind, honest. So down to earth for two of the best footballers in the WEPL or just EPL! 👏👏👏 Can't wait for the first episode recorded post season & any reflections on their individual seasons. Off to camp now ladies. 👍

[@pjhunt4135]

Hi ella and alessia, loving the podcast every week! Random question for a future episode - if a big offer came in from a european club like barcelona would you consider moving for the chance to win more silverware or would you miss britain 🇬🇧 too much? Thanks, ladies, you are both awesome!

[@777colin1]

I have been watching Ella's FA Cup goal many times. I would love to know what she was thinking as she received the ball from Lisa Naalsund. Did she know she was going to shoot or just see how her movement and ball control would pan out? Thank you Ella for scoring magnificent goals

How Is Ella coping with the traveling every Monday with the live pods what time are you living home or are you staying at Alessia's to its closer to travel to

[@alicerose1993]

Question- As a 30 year old woman my football idols when I was a child were all men, now my niece gets to grow up idolising women footballers and I get to too (although most are younger than me 🤦🏼‍♀️) how does it feel to be the generational change and promote women’s football for all the young girls and boys watching?

Bring some of the Lioneses as guests!

Curious question; do they film one episode per time Ella visits London or more?

Hi, Im from Kenya and im Ella and Alessias biggest fans! Especially Alessia, thank you so so much for inspiring me and are generation thank you and good luck vs france! P.S if you score can you celebrate by pointing to your bieceps? Thank you Tatiana Lawrencex

[@Victory20987]

Lotte brought plant 😂😂😂😂😂

[@19037vinny]

No need to hate her bf if City won the treble because Utd have achieved much more since the1960s. They should watch all the George Best dvds and be truly inspired. And Mary Earps should check out Gordon Banks's save in 1970 vs Brazil in Mexico. ME did a similar save v Coventry(if memory right) a few weeks ago. Beth Mead did a George Best in 2022 v Sweden, she dribbled past 4 defenders and scored. For LA Galaxy(if memory right)in USA George dribbled past 5 defenders and scored. So I recommend they watch dvds of past great male players for inspiration. Go Lionesses!!! Vinny, Manchester ❤️
