😄Get Innnnn

[@ryanoneill2286]

Lee you managed blues in the most awful circumstances, that day surviving at Bolton you deserved along with all of our supporters. Will always be remembered at St Andrews mate 👍 KRO

[@leewilliams7052]

My favourite day as a blues fan

[@micksumo]

Bobby Clarks dad is class... was a great player when I was growing up.... hope his son is just as good as him... YNWA❤

Really good show guys as liverpool supporter Bobby watching liverpool since the 60,s he,s got it Lee

Great episode Lee is a brilliant story teller and a really naturally funny guy Also, Tim did a great job standing in for Sam but the chemistry Big Sam and Natalie have as presenters makes the show Natalie knows her stuff and is charming And Sam is very chatty (as Natalie says) but also brutally honest -without being unkind Whenever im doing a bitta work, i stick this podcast on and its always a great listen/watch Well done , keep up the great work 😌

[@Fordywall74]

Love how he still enjoys being a fan and his boy’s success means more than his own - top bloke

[@r0sco_1]

Legend for Newcastle, one thing Lee could do though is ask Bobby not to renew at Liverpool and go to Newcastle on a free when his contract is due 😂

[@dereksymons5754]

absolutely amazing and great show keep it up

[@malcolmcoward7480]

Most excellent show as always. Love it.

[@mineshaft5604]

Lee Clark, my fave player back in the day! What a Legend! Met him in the local Boots in Ponteland and he is a gent!

[@garethmorgan7474]

Great show as usual thanks big Sam and Nat

[@OAKROADSKETCHES]

Great player for Sunderland..even tho we knew he was a mag thru and thru absolutely class for us ..

[@connorswainston4563]

Shame he ruined it in the end

[@OAKROADSKETCHES]

@@connorswainston4563 for sure mate .. total turdds trick whether he meant it or not

[@RichB008]

Class interview 👏 🙌 👌

[@gordongrant894]

Thanks Sam and Nat . One of the best . Lee top bloke 😀

[@Tom_murray89]

What a great episode

[@footballgossiper]

Lee Clarke. What a guest. Went to both Sudan and Oman which are predominantly Muslim. Tells you the man.

[@garybaker4722]

What a great interview

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

Bobby has been excellent. He still has a boy's body like Bradley but the kid has a good engine on him, presses well and has an eye for goal. Great to see him score his first goal last night for the first team and good assist👍

[@boxedbyexoticz3761]

great show

[@SirMonkeySuit]

Have a feeling Bobby might come back to the Toon.

[@dozz87]

Never thought i'd ever hear a Geordie Racer reference on this podcast. Classic

[@applesoranges559]

Bobbbbbyyyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #YNWA ..

[@pauldavenport9427]

Another great episode. A skilful player, always a bit spiky. Fair play to Zigic's agent, jeez.

[@davidrobinson2776]

If Lee had a touch more pace he'd have been one of the best midfielders of his generation. Keegan made a mistake replacing him with David Batty because Clarky was way more inclined to find a forward pass as he had more creativity.

[@garyphillips006]

Another great episode, but how cruel was Natalie in the end, 🤣 Lee Clarke was a quality player deserved a few caps for England

[@kevthompson1982]

Geordie racer! Those were the day!

[@papanoel3999]

Bobby did OK last night didn't he. Great goal vs Sparta. And Lee was a decent player.

[@MrMaggypie]

Lee Clark is a legend. Debut for Newcastle at 17! But as English is not my 1st language, what does Big Sam’s “like you mean” saying, mean? Never heard it before?

[@QTSweetFX]

I know what you are saying basically

[@babygravey]

It's just a throw away phrase basically saying, do you understand or do you get the point of view I'm coming from

[@raymondhunt7927]

Ask Sam if had the chance would he ever come back to Bolton PLEASE

[@wormsnake1]

Lee was a fantastic player. However young Bobby looks the real deal. ❤️🙏.x

[@chrismiller6317]

Father & Son playing for the same team Les & Clive Allen

[@reecequigley2956]

Has Sam ever been Close to joining Birmingham?

[@andrewgarrett5799]

an extra yard of pace and clarky would've been top drawer

[@phreffable]

VAR allows the PL to decide who wins

[@darkbydesign1031]

ees alreet Lee Clarke ya kna

[@browndemonia3304]

Funny that his boy scored his first goal for a team like Liverpool meaning his up there with the best of gordies

[@GarethSewell1982]

His son ain’t a Geordie.

[@hashshashiinme7656]

Bobby dad 👨🏻‍🍳

[@DSMShippers]

KRO Lee

[@paulboyne8786]

Big sam in his own words a better manager than pep and klopp 😂😂😂😂😂 and as for bobby playing for newcastle well if he doesn’t make it as a top top player then you may get your wish lee !!

[@thelordjesuschristhimself1691]

Like you mean Sam

[@DMMJBSM]

So, no relation to the former Aberdeen goalkeeper

[@tazmusic101]

[@russdavies2268]
