[@jahjah8762]

Ever since CBS sports introduced me to Micah Richard’s I’ve been tuned in and getting to know so much about football from Gary and Alan and Thierry and Jamie and also this podcast is my fav when it comes to football banter along with expressions lol … big up yuh self Micah 🇯🇲🫡

Amen for the Internet. No more calling up the TV station and asking for a re-run. It is my custom to replay bits and oftentimes a full episode. I know that it is a lot of work to produce your podcast. However, like all the truly greats, you guys are so relaxed and easy on the ear. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and points of view with honesty and three varieties of humor.

[@Dazck9s]

Congratulations on your 100th episode absolutely loving this podcast forever keeping me smiling... Keep it up lads ATB Daz

Jesus I was laughing my butt off. 😂 You lot are a gift to many of us fans! Thank you!

[@dave9997]

My two pennies on the topic of next England manager... Southgate has been the most successful England manager for some time, partly due to the structure and strategy behind the scenes with the "identity" that has been instilled in players through the age ranks and into the first XI. When he steps down, we need to go back to the drawing board and create a new strategy for the next 10-15 years and then pick a manager that fits the philosophy, as happened with Southgate. Lee Carsley has had a really successful 3.5yrs with the u20's and u21's (won the Euros last summer if anyone's forgotten) so I think that's a good place to start.

[@JJN15]

This makes a lot of sense. An experienced youth coach with a great coaching style, who knows the players is ideal. Southgate is the best manager England has had for 50 years for that reason. He’s known the players for over a decade and there’s genuine trust.

[@jasonzheng2487]

Hi lads, a big thank you from Shanghai, China for the great work you’ve been doing so far. Always keep me upbeat for my daily jogging routine. Alan mentioned in the last podcast that Terry Venables took the England squad to Hong Kong in 1996 and played a friendly against China. Don’t know if you know this but in the summer of 1998 Terry, as the then Crystal Palace manager, brought 2 Chinese players to English football - Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai. Wondered if any of you have any fond memories of them 2 or if any Chinese players at all? Would love to hear that! ( Especially from Micah as I believe Sun Jihai was the regular starting right-back before Micah’s time at Man City)

[@LeosGoals]

God this is the best football show !! You guys are awesome 😃❤❤👏

[@englishjona6458]

Gary I remember you playing in a World Cup with a cast on your arm, you didn’t do to bad in that tournament if I do say so myself 🙌🏽

[@karlportsmouth5571]

Bloody brilliant

[@craigjohnstone3855]

Bell 🔔 ending lol ... Great podcast as ever.... How about Scotlands chances of getting out iur group..?

[@matthewjamison]

It's more frustration when a country calls up an in injured player or player just coming back for injury. Like Egypt with Salah & Robertson for Scotland against the clubs wishes. Then they get injured again or sets back their recovery by weeks. Especially when it's meaningless friendlies

[@Spanna72]

Gary Oneill captained England at all levels up to U21s. He was an good player with a good career working under coaches he learnt a lot from. (Wally Downes had a good influence on his career, I know). His coaching career ladder is varied and steady - and successful. He's perfect for the England Job - progressive, modern, passionate , and not a Yes man.

[@patrickfinnegan7866]

Well done lads getting to 100 episodes love the podcast🎉 ..get sir Alex on the podcast please and thanks you ..and Rio to give some real defensive advice 🤣😂

[@jfh9225]

After seeing Micah a tiny bit loosened up today I think it would be such a treat if you host an x rated ep. ( only.on spotify or something) Get together.. have a beer or 2, and tell us some of the wild stories and dirty details that micah does so well to keep to himself🤐🤝, and I'm sure you other 2 have got some aswell!😂 Love the pod and see the improvements!

[@StevoMusicManUK]

They should perscribe this on the NHS, bent double laughing lads!

[@TheBonesReaperShow]

I don’t like the fifa rule allowing players to choose nationality. I think once the player is 18 he needs to choose which country he would like to represent should he be called up one day. In the case of Rice it’s disrespectful to Ireland, they were his second choice. As soon as England called him up he suddenly felt English. So many Brazilian players do this as well. Karin Benzema even gave an interview stating that he is French for football but otherwise Algerian. Things like that don’t sit well with the fans.

[@Yourfuckinslow]

Idk mate it hasn’t seemed to cause too many problems for the players just look at Benzema as you mentioned. People generally don’t care now other than the fans of that country🤣

[@thyowen]

the end had me laughing out loud in public fucking hell 😂😂

[@kb5509]

Not many players retire from international duty due to waning powers off the back of a 35 goal season.

[@jackoliver-jones6079]

Graham Potter for England manager?

[@Derren-nb4yb]

Rather than the question about Henderson and Gallagher, my question would be about Raheem Sterling and why he doesn't feature for England. I know he has not had the best of seasons with Chelsea, but he is still a very good player that frightens defenders and has not let England down, and has big game experience. Why is he not getting a look in, despite Grealish being injured, and do the guys - Alan, Micah, and Gary - agree that he should be picked? If not, why not?

[@Derren-nb4yb]

How or where do you send your questions for the guys to answer?

[@ronnyron4681]

Who is the name of that guy who currently manage the French Ligue 1 club Stade Reims? He was said to be an englishmen.

[@alaskanmalamute101]

Hey Gary, ino shearer keeps going on about thank god Kane's gone to Germany so his record is safe But Kane has scored 395 professional goals and Shearer has 407 goals So unless shearer breaks both his legs he gonna lose the record for most goals by an Englishmen in the modern era lol He already above Rooney's 366 goals Kane has 16 goals in championship and league one while all shearers are in top flight so technically he could argue he needs another 29 goals to go ahead of him but at this rate that still will be next season 😆

[@stevenilic260]

Hendo has leadership only and nothing else... But please keep picking him Garath 😅

[@LeftWinger9]

Brendan Rodgers for next England manager. Before I get shot down in flames he's good at working with young players, his teams play good football.

[@ghauan]

Wait…is there a Great Britain national team?

[@JamesVBradley]

If England do win I think you guys should do a Party podcast. That is something that we all deserve and want to see(probably more than winning the euros 😂)

The way I see it, we benefit from English players sometimes, much and all as it hurts to lose Kane, Grealish, Rice etc

And rice did hurt, as he was so close to playing for us at senior level.
