Bradley Running The Show & The Art Of Shithousery | EP 77

Do referees subconsciously favour big clubs, particularly when they’re at home? How do we feel about players mocking each other’s celebrations? Why does Gary think things will definitely come good for Darwin Núñez?
Gary, Alan and Micah also sing the praises of Michael Olise and discuss whether Gareth Southgate should be looking to try and snap him up before he makes a senior international appearance for France.

Alan Shearer “that’s what the f&cking net’s there for” - love it!

[@user-tg6vq1kn6v]

If Chelsea get everyone back from injury, get everyone fit, sign a striker and get even more penalties then I think they could finish 10th. Spot on Micah

[@Hhammer]

They’ll make any excuse for Poch

[@BLACULA-Skeewoah]

Another billion pounds spent and they might qualify for the europa conference next season!

[@azalikmar2]

And they loaned out Broja

Micah Owen? 😎

[@rory90FiVe]

Micah just doesn't want to admit his prediction for Chelsea was drastically wrong. They're awful and have shown no signs of being any better

[@soumilnigam9639]

honest to God, the banter, the chemistry, the respect between you all is otherworldly. Big Meeks' laugh never fails to put a smile on my face. #RestIsUbiquitous

[@bruce_leon1044]

"Ubiquitous" 😂 Micah reminds me of Joey in that episode of Friends when he reads that one volume of an encyclopedia and starts using big words! 😂

[@Dabbtrabb]

The song in anfield at around the 60th minute had me cracking up. A variation of a classic rhyme London bridge is falling down.... oh Todd Boehly Build it back with a billion pounds... oh Todd Boehly At least that's what I heard. I'm sorry Chelsea fans but that was absolutely hilarious.

[@jammybizzle666]

Stamford Bridge surely

@@jammybizzle666 stamford bridge is falling down.. yep we were finished.

[@pablojablo6371]

It's London Bridge is falling down , poor old Chelsea then it's build it up with red and white. It goes back to the late 60's early 70's.

[@bmg_darby]

As a Bolton fan, I was almost certain that Conor Bradley (and James Trafford for that matter) would both get loans to promotion-chasing Championship teams and then be ready for the Prem in 24-25 because they were outrageously good for their age and League One level. But to see Bradley putting in these performances as Liverpool and then Trafford, although having a tough time and getting no help from his defenders, is showing his potential with some impressive saves, they’re exceeding even what I thought they could achieve this season.

[@rogermccalmont8421]

Im not a Liverpool fan but im from northern Ireland im so happy with his progress so far its awesome for Northern Ireland

[@adamoconnor6399]

Your from the north and so am I but never use the word “awesome” again mate unless your from America or autistic

[@user-sx1yl1sy2d]

All Bolton fans watching this knowing how unbelievable Bradley is. Played well above his level for us. Recovers well, aggressive press, runs, good decision making, can overlap, underlap, shoot, cross. I went as far as saying the best right back we ever had, and he was playing in league 1!

[@BaztheRollingGherkin]

Now, now, he's no Nicky Hunt 😉 Seriously though (and no shade on Hunt here, who was a great player for us) I don't think any of us Bolton fans are surprised at how well he's doing. He absolutely tore league 1 apart last season and was clearly far above that level. Long may it continue for him.

Before the next game y'all should see the Nigeria v. Angola match at AFCON. Some great performances, Moses Simon and Ola Aina in particular and as always Osimhen

You lot are honestly amazing!😂😂😂😂 absolutely love when Alan starts swearing 😂😂 Micah's laugh and Gary's sarcasm has me on the floor too😂

[@Sherrie510]

That low drill shot by Bradley reminded me of a young Gareth Bale but looking in the mirror ;)

[@aj5690]

A good comparison with Nunez is Drogba. He was never hugely prolific but he added so much to the attack and was very important for his side. Not saying he's at that level yet but still young and don't know any Liverpool fans who are still worried about him.

[@ashwall8634]

Drogba was never hugely prolific ? 🤯

[@aj5690]

Check his goal record. He was a scorer of big goals in big games and had a few decent seasons (in terms of goalscoring) but he was never a consistently prolific striker. Absolutely brilliant player though.

[@ashwall8634]

@@aj5690 Still looks pretty prolific to me

[@aj5690]

In 8 premier league seasons he has 2 very good years with 20 and 29 in the league. In the other 6 he never gets higher than 12. That is not what you'd consider a prolific striker. Not trying to talk him down he's one of the best there's been, just pointing out a striker doesn't need to be guaranteed 20 goals a season to be elite.

[@MitzProductions]

Love the consistency of uploads. Thanks guys.

[@user-dg3bu9lt6r]

[@g-e9513]

As an Arsenal fan Jesus is an unbelievable player but not an unbelievable striker. For the balance of the team I think he’d be better out wide and then signing a centre forward. Jesus would be unreal in an old school system with 2 up top

[@luton_gmanrock]

COME ON THE HATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamhargrave9202]

Another brilliant podcast 😎

[@Stephen-N]

that whole part of the hitting the "target" off the bar/post was so amazing haha by far the best football podcast (with the likes of ben) and its a joy to watch! might be contract restrictions but getting kate abdo on for a special episode i think would be great too or others for little guest episodes? is that something you 3 have talked about? not every episode of course but i like to see people be able to let loose and not have to watch their words while on tv etc.

[@shreyam1008]

It great that you guys are limiting the videos to around 30 mins, make it so much more accissible for much vast audience. POdcasts are a bit on a bit because of the very long format. Not many people are completing the full podcast. Doing regular ones, with a time cap is great for you guys

[@nvgirl1807]

Always fascinates me how people think their opinion is that of the majority. I listen was walking so love a long podcast, but don't think that means it's for everyone

[@Kugann]

swear there's a new episode every fucking day

[@kd5973]

One of those cases of “if given on the field, VAR won’t overturn”. Problem is with “clear and obvious” - it’s subjective and the VAR officials don’t ever want to embarrass their friends for missing a call on the field.

[@staceyjinuk9714]

So far, everyone who has talked about the (bad) refereeing that benefited Liverpool, they haven't mentioned who the referee was. I have been talking to friends, we all have just said that game was WEIRD. But not because of what your thinking.

[@alidaniels2487]

Why because Paul Tierney wants to be invited to Jurgen's leaving do so spent the whole match way overcompensating to prove that he doesn't have an Anti-LFC agenda? Cos that's the only thing I can think of that exains it 😂😂

[@user-et3ns9ym4l]

Nunez is a special talent, no, question. I agree totally with Alan and Gary the goal frame made of whatever, is there to hold the net in place and unless you hit the net it is not in. (not counting bouncing just over the line naturally).

[@Dazck9s]

A good one for you.. make a team up of all of the young players coming in this season ATB Daz

[@andremeyers172]

Thank you Micah the mighty blues will bounce back when we fully healthy the ref had a bad game

[@fillrobs7726]

Gary, are you trying to grow your nose? Haha leave it alone man 😂. Great episode, one of the best ! Ubiquitous even!

[@kyleg951]

i dont know what people are seeing in saying the first penalty shout is a penalty gallagher has run in to van dijk

[@mrperniciouswithag]

Don’t know if you gents will see this question, but hearing how you spoke about Nunez vs Jesus had me wondering if you could break down just a bit more what makes them different? On the surface their biggest issue seems to be similar in that you mentioned they both struggle to convert their chances, but Nunez seems to have you guys believing he’ll come good, whereas Jesus doesn’t seem to be seen that way. Massive fan of the pod - keep up the great work! #YNWA

[@nvgirl1807]

Love how they talk about all the Chelsea ref decisions but not that Gallagher kicked the ball away, no booking or Chillwell and gallagher diving . And as for coming back from injury re Chilwell needing to get up to speed, Szoboszlai was in the same position

[@AuGAlaN]

lmao bet they absolutely hate the phrase "He's almost hit it too well!"

[@F.MNZ.91]

Who are the 11 starters? who you would select, as the best opponent face if they were in a one team (performance based - not by reputation or career)

[@adamoconnor6399]

Comparing Nunez and richarlison is mental 😂 Nunez has over 20 goal contributions this season aswell as scoring over 15 last season richarlison genuinely just couldn’t hit the back of the net…..

[@Dugiesrevenge]

Chelsea have found their natural level within football, they were always a top-flight feeder club and nothing more… without Abomovichs billions and ruthlessness and with FFP now showing teeth they are done as a “force”🎉

I think Gary and Alan underestimate just how big Fantasy Prem is. It's all over every workplace up and down the land (and beyond!). It keeps otherwise underwhelming games interesting and is the source of a lot of work banter. It's like betting without the misery.

[@priydmistry]

Don't forget Johnson did the darts celebration taking piss out of Toney and Maupay as well last night after his goal.

[@MrBuggy19]

The inconsistencies in VAR decisions is what's annoying.

[@J3diMindTrix]

Wasn't part of the whole reason it was brought in in order to make things fairer, partly through correcting those 'clear and obvious' style ref decisions; instead, it's made it so that the officials have way more influence on the outcome of a match, so in fact the complete opposite of what it was supposed to.. it's disconcerting, matches (and therefore even trophies and titles) could be decided by a guy or 2 in a room potentially miles away from the stadium sitting at a computer screen.. who do these 'officials' support, has anyone even looked into this? Is it not feasible they could sway the outcome of games? I'm not saying they do this I'm saying it's possible, and therefore more oversight surely needs to be put in place. Same goes with all the other new officials brought in to officiate VAR.. if the idea is to reduce the number of mistakes committed by refs and other officials who could affect a game (i.e. linesmen) then that hasn't happened at all, in fact the mistakes are even worse as they still make them even with the technology, so what's the point exactly. Not to mention it totally ruins the flow of a match with the constant stop/start discontinuity

[@properjob79]

the ref had a very good game imho

[@n4ht4n80]

Are we gonna ask if Arsenal are in the title race every week? For me they never were but they beat forest and they’re back and they’ll lose to Liverpool and people will say they’re out. Not really fair on them to make assumptions, either make your mind up and say they’re good enough or they’re not

[@laureanoalfaro9351]

Not a single comment on Mac Allister?, he was the one who actually ran the show, this sort of jake for all trades he is playing for Jurgen it's getting him even further in his already great level. The problem might actually be Poch too, beside injuries, constant changes of squad and the lack of a reliable striker since ages

[@ieuandeakin6497]

Not sure how moving trent and olaying bradley at RB will help england since Bradley is northern irish ;p

[@andrewharrison7767]

gives trent time to show whether he can focus in the right of 3 midfield role, as opposed to being the hybrid right back

[@nikprior8280]

I think it's also about the amount of options we currently have at RB at the moment - Walker, Trippier, James etc. If Trent does successfully transition into midfield and performs at a high level, you'd have to think that would be good for England.

[@user-qz8gy8jm5b]

Caisedo was "unbelievable" at Brighton and see what Poch gets out of him. So, no great hopes for positive change once all the injured come back. Plus, do all other teams play at full strength, injury wise? Newcastle, for sure, don't.

[@mil0_259]

Newcastle are 8th, 19 points off the top and went on a terrible losing streaks while they had injuries. They finished top 4 last season. Injuries destroyed Newcastle’s season and they’ve improved massively since a few of the players came back. It’s actually impressive that someone could make such a stupid comment.

[@fargodavilleitnotd6729]

Maupay did the same at the city ground the other week, he copied woods celebration, maybe he is looking for a celebration of his own and hes trying out everyone elses first to see how it feels?

Paul Tierney is woeful 😂

[@ToniPhillips-tc9cl]

Question. Did Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork 2 times or 4 times.??? Djordje Petrovic pushed his first effort onto the bar, he pushed his second effort onto the post. That means Nunez hit the woodwork twice. You can not say Nunez hit the woodwork 4 times, when the keeper pushed 2 shots onto the woodwork, if he did not touch them, then its 2 goals for Nunez. the keeper actions were decisive actions, they were saves. Reminder did TTA hit a shot that hit the woodwork and went in off Berd Leno V Fulham and its a own goal due to the keeper touching it. Decisive is what its called when a keeper diverts the ball away or into the nett, so Darwin hit the woodwork 2 times only

[@richp1975]

So by your reasoning if a keeper gets a hand to a shot but it goes in then its an own goal.

[@ToniPhillips-tc9cl]

@@richp1975 No , grow up. I stated that the keeper saved both shots touching them onto the woodwork. Darwin only hit the woodwork twice. Reason the keeper took decisive action in stopping each of the first two attempts, decisive means if he had not, the outcome would be different, The word is decisive... To give context, I stated TAA free-kick Verse Fulham, was classed as an own goal, because the decisive action of the keeper, the ball was not going in till the ball came off the keeper. If you are to blind to read the comment, that your problem

[@davidhayes5901]

I'm gonna say, if we are lucky to get a penalty we will lose 2-1 because there's No open play goals in this team at the moment. And the leaking at the back !!! Petrovic again will keep it low, but That wolves team have goals in them 😔

[@byronadams5774]

It is so crazy how much excuses are made for Chelsea and how nice use are toward Poch. Especially Allen its like he lives up Poch -----------. but when it comes to Manchester United total different story.

[@MrTanki4]

Alan is so lenient with injuries to Newcastle now, Tottenham before, Eze and Olise at Palace but when Chelsea have minimum 6 injuries throughout the whole season he only bangs on about money spent and doesn't care about injuries...

[@binzy698]

Appalling? 😂😂 Appreciate the laugh boys. Slow motion replays prove absolutely nothing because you don't get to see the force of the impact compared to the players reaction. So all we can judge from that is he probably made a meal of it. Players have a responsibility to make an effort to stay on their feet, which the Chelsea lads didn't in any situation
