Fact from Fiction - Footballing Tropes Under The Microscope | Three Up Front

[@benarcher7411]

Troys sat there thinking “I love custard I’ve got loads of custard at home” no real idea have you Troy

[@scotteaglen4872]

Henry is such a good addition. He’s an elite sports writer, alongside an elite ex player/manager, an outstanding ex owner , and Troy Deeney.

[@shanefoy3720]

And Troy deeney, 😆 🤣 you gotta have the black quota these days, so they picked Troy out of it, as he is a young black man, ex footballer, ticks all the boxes 📦 🤣 😂😂😂

[@jamesclarke3526]

Deeney also managed for 27 minutes before making all of the mistakes he talks about not doing and getting sacked for under performance and offending everyone in the room. Now let's listen to Deeney talk about how to manage again.

[@ashscott54]

I came on to the comments to say this also. Very good addition I think! You said it for me!

[@andykelly19891989]

Would love if Henry stays on as a regular. He’s very articulate and an engaging listen, agree or disagree. And obviously a top tier journalist with lots behind the curtain knowledge within the game.

[@harrys1505]

He isn’t as clever as he sounds or you think. He said the Glazers were to blame for Ten Hag’s failings and Simon destroyed him. Just because he speaks posh does not equal intelligence. Simon always corrects him.

[@gregmilligan6334]

He's a wanker

[@newcastlelukelowther]

"top tier" journalism?

[@pauldkb1700]

He gets a lot of hate but now there's 2 former footballers, captains. A former manager, owner and now a journalist giving all their opinions. I think it's a genius combination. It covers so much of how football works

[@harrys1505]

@ genius? Are you serious? So whoever thought of this line up is on the same level as Einstein? Get a bloody grip of yourself and give your head a wobble.

[@MarkOrourke-rh5fu]

Even troy deeney was quite good in this one tbh, love him or hate him but Simon is box office, enjoy this show.

[@nigelnyoni8265]

How does that add to the conversation? he wanted to brag I love the banter 😂😂😂

[@kangill2411]

At the time I was happy seeing them go down, but now I kind of miss long ball pub teams like Stoke, West Brom & Dyche's Burnley. They provided a different viewing experience (albeit agricultural) compared to Wengerball & Barca-lite clones.

[@adisanil]

Along with Henry, it'd be cool if you guys get someone like JJ Bull or Jon Mackenzie from Tifo podcast to give an analysts pov regarding the modern game. It'll be a fascinating mix.

[@cavewebster]

Jordan showing some FIRE and dropping some TRUTH! Mucho enjoyo, gracias!

[@lfcspectre4335]

Sir Simon, Souness & Henry = Top LADS Proper Clobbers 💯 Facts with Troy

[@PhantomPanda1992]

Love these lot, proper good chat

[@VR46314]

Footballs biggest myth is “pressure” at man united. Media attention isn’t pressure.

[@MrReeealist]

I agree. There's less pressure on Man United manager than City, Bayern, Madrid, Barcelona. Man United fans would backed Ten Haag and he finished 8th, got kicked out of the UCL, and lost 7-0 Vs Liverpool

[@VR46314]

@ absolutely, you think if slot under performs he isn’t getting sacked? Matip served us years and then got cut off post injury we aren’t a charity.

[@user-vn7wy5vp7r]

The best podcast yet! Cheers lads!

[@IggyGoesPop666]

It's great seeing Winter join the panel as he evens up Sout Ness old boomer "Everything was better in my day" waffling ... Troy's "Thank you for the opportunity, so I will behave myself this time" views and Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys "Smartest person in the room, so I'm always right" points of view

[@davewarren2849]

It was

[@benjaminasnarbutas8775]

Bubbles from TPB 👌😂

[@gavinwatters1293]

Can you replace Deeney with Henry.

[@bonuscheese1]

Simon, listen boss. You're getting it wrong. Don't add Henry as a regular. Have Henry as a regular in the place of Denney.

[@newcastlelukelowther]

"listen boss" nobody cares about your opinion. Keep it to yourself.

[@bonuscheese1]

​@@newcastlelukelowther ditto

[@steve13191]

they gather the avengers of despicable clowns who think they’re better than they actually are 😂😂😂

[@BobLablah88]

Great Show!!

[@Thai.Farang]

Henry Winter is a more than welcome addition. A top football journalist, with great insights.

[@michaellord2844]

Simon it would be worth looking back at the first 11 Pep played when he came to city. It could be argued that Pep doesn't improve all the players under his stewardship but they are either at a very high level or they are replaced. This is why he always tend to go to clubs with very deep pockets. I should say I admire Pep, but think sometimes its a misnomer that he improves all in his squad.

[@tevildo45]

He won league title with Fabian Delph at left back

[@michaellord2844]

@@tevildo45 Of all the players to pick, you picked the guy who played on average 1300 minutes per season over 4 years, 5 goals and 3 assists.. Curious do you think he became a better player than what he was at Villa?

[@Gaggyboy8]

Surely this must now be four up front?

[@chrismiller6317]

Henry Winter 🤴🏽 of the Sports Journo’s and a touch of class amongst the arses on this pod,only joking lads 🤣

[@ljs185]

Isnt the point of playing out from the back when the opposition pushes up you go long over the top to your forward? Why arent teams realising this and ONLY playing out from the back???

[@jimmymac4046]

Do like troy but his voice grates on me. Permanent cold he sounds like

[@anthonymcnamee6297]

U only got to watch Onana puts the defence in trouble u have to be good too do it Liverpool play kick n rush works for them

[@ianbanks2844]

Cannot watch anything with that God of knowledge and morality in it .

[@LilHazTV]

I am 21 year old sparky and I listen to talk sport everyday without fail and get home and listen to this 👊🏻

[@Leewoods123]

Troy saying there’s a lot less leaders in football and it’s just a football problem, not societal… what rubbish! Society isn’t breeding leaders anymore, look around! And that simply has a knock on effect in to football!

[@benjaminfjelstad7287]

Troy Deeney is a gem.

[@Time4utube]

Players sack managers ask deeney he sacked plenty of them

[@Leewoods123]

This must be the most random group of people ever to discuss football🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️so bizarre 🤡🤡

[@PaulBaird-z6c]

Can we expand this to 1hr to 1.5hr, particularly when Henry is on.

[@harvey255]

Three up front, one has got to go… and we all know it’s Troy.

[@AJLM89]

Sports Direct Christopher Hitchens

[@missyrupert]

2 mins in and ffs please lose Souness - Capt Obvious

[@callumbradke7194]

Four Up Front?

[@roy9816]

Too much interrupting each other.

[@Time4utube]

Where is peps magic coaching magic tactics with no Rodri Their is none .P11 W2 D1 L8 Manchester United had no LB for a year still don't course makes a difference.

[@shanefoy3720]

Pretty bollocks 😂😂😂

[@lesblakeman]

Or your Sporting Lisbon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rorykeating5973]

Pep has ruined football, he hasn't revolutionised it. Everything is a system now and long gone are the days of seeing another Dinho or Messi type player

[@Trecesolotienesdos]

it's four up front now lol. 424.

[@Aeyeilluminati]

English or Spanish

[@paulkenchington6976]

Too much talking over each other...

[@tonylawson8301]

It’s n interesting point Troy raises about work ethics amongst British and continental managers approach to the management of a football club but who would you want and how is that put into practice when there are ready made individuals for the needs of the club owners just across the pond. It then stifles the development of good british managers

[@harrys1505]

Your argument is flawed. British managers should then turn themselves into ready made managers - as you say. But what did Lampard do when given a chance at the highest level? What did Gerrard do when given a chance at the highest level? What did Southgate do when given a chance at the highest level?

[@shoji-josuzuki1641]

I think the issue is that there are too many British ex-players who played at the highest level, retire from football and almost have a belief that they deserve to be in charge of a big club because they have learnt so much and done so much for the game. The reality is they should be willing to start from the bottom or wherever they can find work, gain experience and build their reputation again The Premier League is the place where people want to manage, due to how popular it is and how much money is involved, other than being manager of a massive European club it's the place to be, so the number of people who want the jobs is higher than any other league in the world and British coaches are so desperate to be a part of it as soon as possible, that they don't look for opportunities in lower domestic leagues or even abroad. I have so much respect for the coaches who don't just wait around for jobs to come up and instead are going abroad or into lower leagues for work. The lack of British managers at top Premier League clubs is nothing new, but the managers who want to get there should be working around the world to make themselves more desirable

[@harolddpvp8994]

CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA

[@kayc5503]

Just replace troy deeney with Henry permanently please.

[@True_Heretic]

If Cole Palmer wasn't in that Chelsea team they'd be mid table.

[@StoicBlissPrevails]

😴

[@True_Heretic]

Souness was a great player, and has been a great pundit. Different class. Troy is a babe as a pundit. But the kind of babe you wouldn't want to take on in a pram to pram fight. As as a watcher of the game it makes no sense to me to play a sophisticated game when your players aren't sophisticated enough to play it. Man City can field eleven sophisticated players every game, Southampton cannot. I'm a Forest fan. God bless Steve Cooper, Nuno and our owner. We aren't arsed with "The way" to play the game. We utilise our fast players, our physical players and bank on our brightest minds on the field. OK. We are third now, but we probably won't finish better than tenth, despite clear development and progression at the club. But we are getting the very best out of our players. Something that Tony Pulis, Sean Dyce, Sam Allardyce and PEP GUARDIOLA have done.
