How Wrong Were Our Pre-Season Predictions? | EP 49

[@Moinul987]

2 episodes in 2 days, definitely not complaining about that 🔥

[@TheGuv1526]

We're being treated for sure!

[@darrenpotter4339]

Wish it was 3/4 times a week 🙏 Could listen to these 3 all day!

[@Plasticjesus504]

It’s definitely a good holiday gift.

[@jackkennedy1787]

3 eps in 4 days, fantastic stuff

[@lukeb.95]

Whoevers idea it was for this podcast is a genius. All positive vibes. Love it!

[@soloa5290]

There’s no podcast that makes me smile like this one. The chemistry between these 3 is infectious

[@Rdon_Ranger]

I agree, very wholesome vibes

[@stingersplash]

Micah's laugh is too infectious 😅

[@funkhouse5936]

Thank you Shearer, Gary, and Micah love this so much, the banter is so funny.

[@Rafflewafflez]

Didn’t know whether to spell it Alan/Allen?

[@AliJongman1]

@@Rafflewafflezexactly what I was thinking haha

[@eppoeditz]

@@Rafflewafflezpretty sure it’s Alan

[@Tettehfarlaa]

The banter among these 3 dudes are just on another level 🤣🤣 loving every second of it! Another great pod guys!

[@scottmitchell1426]

Hello lads, love the pod. Just seen the terribly sad news the El Tel has passed away. He managed you Gary and Alan. He made an immense contribution to the game, would you be able to warm our hearts at this time with some of your memories of the man.

[@GregOGrady84]

Love this podcast much prefer it to the overlap one as they mainly focus on the "big 6" while ye cover everyone and have great banter

[@vinnywarren2144]

R.I.P Terry Venables

[@geennaam4576]

Love the show and thank you Gary for being a voice for truth and speaking against genocide. I hope they cant hurt you for speaking the truth. May God protect you

[@truthpanda1966]

I was never really a huge fan of any of these individually. On motd it's so much more sanitised. It's amazing how Gary Lineker is so natural at podcasting it shows what a good presenter is. Most people that go from mainstream to podcasting struggle for a bit. The interaction between all of them is really uplifting and it shows their true personality. I am definitely more likely to watch Match of the Day now because they seem so happy all the time which is totally refreshing when life can be so the opposite. And it doesn't seem contrived, it seems like this is how they all are.

[@BenBuckley-p7j]

This is one of the very best shows on KZbin keep it going,!

[@gavinhirst3136]

Even with Everton's points deduction, I don't think there IS a Relegation Battle this season. Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley are 3 of the worst teams ever to play in the Premier League (for different reasons) and I don't think any of them have anywhere near what it takes to improve enough to stay up

[@Rosco-P.Coldchain]

Yes and I’m sure Sheff Utd were just as bad last time they graced the premier league..They have no intentions of challenging for honours in that league so it’s a total waste of a place if you ask me 😂

[@Jake-ld2yb]

@@Rosco-P.Coldchain dont talk shit, you clearly havent watched us in the last 2 games if you think we are "the worst team in the premier league"

[@WrightyFPL]

I'm not so sure. Surely one or two of them spends big in January and Everton likely won't have the financial wiggle room to buy. It wasn't a fight, but the -10 does drag Everton into it

[@LT-zs5nn]

⁠@@Jake-ld2yb this didn’t age too well did it 😂 with the greatest of respect, you’ve got a goal difference of -28 14 games in. Your points per game puts you in line for 13 points by the end of the season…

[@Mumbler100]

12:25 THE ARSEnaal 😂

[@bman6414]

Great episode lads. Keep in mind Wolves lost Neves, Nunes and Jimenez in the transfer window also. O'Neil been doing a good job. Did great for Bournemouth last season aswell.

[@BMJYDK]

Micah's burnt his bridges with the toon 🤣

[@jcnrcisse]

I wish they were in the same room but this still goes hard 🔥

[@neilmiller6214]

This is my favourite podcast. I could listen to these guys all day. I’m a Newcastle fan and I find it hilarious that big Meeks bangs on out the Firenze when he only played 10 games 😂 wind it in lad.

[@raydearie9805]

Talking of it getting boring seeing the same teams winning the league and in Europe do you think they should bring back what it was like in the 90s with 3 foreginer rule and only allowing the league winners into champions league? Or even perhaps 5-6 foreigner rule and maybe allowing top 2 clubs from the bigger leagues to qualify for ucl ?

[@bigt813]

Great show. You guys are doing great with the pod. Enjoying Villa at the moment. The last time i saw Villa doing great was under Big Ron. 90's was the last time we won a domestic cup. And couldnt tell you the last time we had a + gd before xmas. Emery is great and think we will win europa conference trophy against Brighton and auto qualify for europa next year.

[@hottakehylas]

Post-spurs game perspective on this is SCREW THAT WE'RE GONNA DO A LEICESTER 😃

[@philbobagbox1177]

“Estupinion”😂Pity you didn’t get it in first time Gary!!👍🏻

[@kevancook2699]

I love this podcast. A fantastic mix of personalities and I’d like to have Mica’s laugh on a loop. I know the focus of the cast is the Premiere League but I’d love to have your thoughts on the teams in the Championship, especially those clubs relegated last season. Thanks, keep it up.

[@recruitmentwebsites]

The Everton story is being misled in the press; the suggestion is they were mugged because they worked with the authorities; only one commentator has shown the truth of this, which is the authorities gave them repeated examples of where they were going wrong and choices to fix it. They ignored that and ended up where they did by choice, not foul moves by the authorities.

[@GaryKidd]

Brilliant entertainment once more guys. Gary is right though about the Gunners!

[@MjolnirMarks]

Keep this pod organic and chilled liked this please. No studio and lighting thanks.

[@ashley892011]

Alright guys I love the podcast. I've got a question for all 3 of you, What's your best/funniest memory of the great John motson keep up the great work

[@kevinjenkins6657]

How on earth did I miss his death? What a legend, so many memories of watching the telly as a kid flowing back. RIP Motty

[@ashley892011]

@kevinjenkins6657 I know mate terrible isn't it. A true footballing legend

[@stingersplash]

Just to correct Gary on 5th place almost certainly being good enough....it really isn't this year because Newcastle and Man United are doing so poorly England are way down the coefficient table. I think in 5th or 6th. So Man City and Arsenal will have to basically reach the final at this point to get us into the top 2.

[@bawanaryan4898]

My number 1 podcast atm! You guys are the best❤

[@louisrizzolo1405]

Great podcast, love the banter and some wise thoughts. They know their football

[@tonyolusanmi6071]

You lot will be surprised about the right way of pronouncing Awoniyi and Solanke and Tomori! As a Yoruba Nigerian I am cracking up!

[@billbaggiotmua372]

I pronounce Awoniyi as awo-knee-yee, i take it,thats wrong?

[@tonyolusanmi6071]

@@billbaggiotmua372 thats actually pretty close. There is a bit of intonations here and there but probably only a Yoruba speaker can pronounce 👌🏿

[@Plasticjesus504]

I think Alan is right, when it comes to Everton. I believe it’s going to galvanize the team and they are going to play with a chip on their shoulder. It’s going to be a major story line of the season. Thanks for the podcast guys it’s fantastic stuff, love the chemistry between you guys.

[@Markoski1986]

Loving the podcast. Great topics with added humour to make me smile every time 😂

[@24KWills]

Can they buy alan a decent mic??

[@Gibbs-gi6sq]

Nice to see Villa getting some love Ramsey and Moreno back soon only going to get better. UTV

[@petermulenga4252]

Arsenal having gambled on Havertz I think can take a gamble on Toney. His proved to be a consistent striker in the premier league

[@shobhit260]

Manchester United have had the most injuries, now players are coming back so they'll definitely start playing better and finish top 4

[@judegrindvoll8467]

This is really fun to watch 3 games before the end of season 😂

[@manoobahar]

we love you Gary for your honesty when others prefers you to shut up.! full support ! unfortunately media is owned mainly by right wingers who don't even live in this country. and dictate to us what we can say and not.

[@drenavarrk4869]

I could listen to an hour of these everyday

[@albertbrammer9263]

Luton's ground makes it tricky for any team used to playing European football.

[@heeby123]

In the last 37 league games here’s the top 6: 1. Man City 85 points 2. Arsenal 77 points 3. Liverpool 75 points 4. Aston Villa 74 points 5. Man United 73 points 6. Newcastle 67 points So many have Arsenal down as the only team capable of challenging Man City. The reality is they had a great 7-8 months in a season split into two. Still got to prove themselves as being long term contenders for me. And the gap to the others isn’t as big as made out.

[@daviebananas1735]

Can I ask why you covered the last 37 games and not the last 38???

[@heeby123]

@@daviebananas1735 the app I used (Flashscores) runs a form guide for each season in increments of 5 games. So last year there was the most recent 25 games data, this season there have been 12 games. Essentially I was too lazy to go and find each teams 38th oldest result!

This cracked me up. Micah’s 2 mile driveway 😂😂😂

My favourite podcast now

[@cb2145]

Hi Guys, Love the pod keep up the good work, My question is how do you think AFCON will affect the Prem teams come 2024, and how do you feel on players having played for a national team already then switching their allegiances to play for another national side. cheers guys, love you three together

[@Itskevooo17]

With the talent, especially in the academy, i think Kompany should go to Palace. They have some players that could thrive in his style of play

They've said about everybody's else's injuries but Man utd have had loads, but no mention

[@The_bears1978]

Love this podcast 🙌......when Lineker gets excited about a story he plays with his nose 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hhammer]

United had equal most injuries this season alongside Newcastle United also is 18th is most ref calls against them (including some howler calls). Yet Newcastle is allowed to use those as an excuse, but Manchester United is not. And that is despite Manchester United being higher than Newcastle in the table. Hopefully, with players returning and a few better referee calls, Manchester will do better

[@robthomas3968]

Man Utd do have the most injuries 11 out of all the top 6 clubs

[@marcusoreallly]

Best podcast out there.

[@gammah]

Best football podcast ever!

[@phumlanimncwango7686]

I have a feeling that Micah will be right about Burnley staying up.

[@shoppingforleaves3162]

That's an intrusive thought. You must ignore those.

[@__gk___]

I’m a Australian football fan that lives off of highlights because with two jobs and the time difference I can never really tune in. But now your podcast has given me a way to stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the league. It’s a very fun and easy to listen to method of staying in touch and it is drastically improving my enjoyment of the league. Props to you all. Please keep it coming!!! My question for the next podcast is… (Q) What’s you favourite sport outside of football? You should check out the extended highlights of the NRL 2023 Grand Final (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpPWhHmke8xorLMsi=R2HGhglCvcPsj0nL) this was an epic game!!! I’d love to hear your thoughts on my favourite sport.

[@jonnystaffs]

Still though....get Alan a proper mic, please.

[@chrismiller6317]

We have Havertz at the same time could have got Maddison or Ward-Prowse had we had made a bid for either they would signed foe Arsenal

[@gl1363]

James ward prowse stats is dictated by the number of dead ball success he had. But the issue is his stats without it and you can see clearly why he doesn't fit the Liverpool style.

[@indianrunner666]

Gary making jokes in spanish made my day 😅😂😂

[@shuebyyy]

For me right now it’s city, Liverpool, villa and arsenal

[@Nebuchadnezzar-Wildebeest]

"Things have gone a little bit pear-shaped [for Newcastle]" Yes indeed. They're currently sixth, two points off fifth and have only lost one PL game since 2 September. Desperate, mate! "Mister Best, can I ask you a question? Where did it all go wrong?!"

[@YunGGenO77]

🤣 As a Brighton fan, De Zerbi would be a great replacement at City but god would i love to see him manage Real Madrid next season!!

[@paulbradbury7166]

Can someone let Alan's appearance, makes him look like a bouncer glaring in the dark of a underground club! Lol

[@neilito15]

Who was the one player a club signed whilst you was them, that you thought why are they signing this person and they actually surprised you how good they were.

[@alaskanmalamute101]

[@nate_wil]

Alan's not just a funny bloke... He knows his stuff eh? Nostradamus novacastrian!

[@davehopkin9502]

No mention of the financial fair play cases against Man City..... if that gets resolved this season it could radically alter things

[@Yom_Bristol]

0 chance its resolved this season. 1 charge against Everton who admitted guilt still took a year. City are denying everything, holding up the process every way they can and have 115 charges to go through.

Cole Palmer ,though Foden is more talended will have a better due to the freedom he is been given at Chelsea unlike Palmer who's a system player to Pep's well oiled machine.

[@TheEvilEdward]

Man I wanted to ask why did the three of them chose those positions to play in their careers?

[@quigonlynn1]

Because that was their best position. Any footballer naturally finds their best position during their youth usually.

[@jakebeeton15]

Love the show another great episode! But ward prowse for Liverpool?🤣 one of the slowest, weakest, least mobile midfielders in the prem for Klopps style of play? Of course he could do Henderson’s role, hendo wouldn’t stand out in the championship nowadays. Horrific shout from Micah.

[@fragglebrock6772]

How come Newcastle and Spurs get the “load of injuries pass and other issues pass” and Man U don’t 😂 I’m a Pompey fan so no skin in the race, but the pile on Man U is ridiculous. I suppose it distracts from sports washing, gambling sponsorship, etc 😂
