The Clubs The Guys Wish They Played For | EP 45

[@GerardMcCartan-i9n]

Gary doesn't realise how much of an inpact hes having on alot of people like me, by creating this podcast and getting Alan and Micah on board. Its such a lovely wee show that takes you away for 30minutes from stuff going on and i could listen to them all day. Peace and love ❤

[@dangriffiths6358]

Micah is great but it’s underrated how funny Shearer is 🤣🤣🤣

[@amrelarcher8990]

I wonder why he doesn’t show this side of him on TV tho. He always seemed so serious on TV, didn’t know he’s an absolute laugh 😂

[@worcestermark]

Micah shouldn't really be on match of the day, given he is an employee of Abu Dhabi FC. The BBC is paying an employee of the biggest cheats in the history of the game. He always defends them, so it's a clash of interests, with them already ruining the competitive nature of the beautiful game, It's just wrong.

[@MrGts92]

​@@amrelarcher8990they've famously said that the MOTD format doesn't really allow for too much non-analytical chats in between, especially when, there's already one 'joker' person.. it's unfortunate, but I agree. Surprised how funny Shearer and Keane are.

[@WillBancroft-h1j]

Proper dry witt

[@Kheyoo]

Everyone is saying it every episode, but the banter between these are truly unique. You have a golden recipe on your hands lads

[@Thumbs81]

Sorry mate, it's a great podcast but what exactly is unique about it?

[@wps5133]

These three are the Top Gear trio of football. They deserve their own show

[@paulb3883]

What makes this so good is viewer's questions giving a real insight into the game and their careers rather than waffling on about the usual boring subjects

[@GRIMMDOOM1]

That Des Walker story was Brilliant 😅 "It worked" & "I'm back" had me cracking 😂

[@farhanhasan2926]

Thought my headphones weren’t working when Alan was impersonating Micah 😂

[@AlexHenderson-l8w]

How Eddie Howe has stuck with Jamal lascelles has shown how well he has managed the dressing room. Even with the captain not playing all the time, he still appreciates his professionalism and shows respect to his loyalty to the club.

[@kagisanobokala8154]

My favourite football podcast I never miss an episode 😂

[@112starwarsfan]

it's the best ever. I love them! 😂

[@Star5dg]

It's been 15 years since I last played football and there is nothing like the banter in the dressing room and after the game. Haven't experienced anything like since then but this podcast takes me back. The football analyses and banter is spot on. Micah is hilarious. Shearer dry humour is class and Gary is "like a fine wine" 😂

[@MattMajcan]

I wish every podcast uploaded as often as you do. It's probably my favorite part about it. Seems like everytime I need something to listen to theres a new episode waiting for me.

[@francischeung2223]

The stories on Sir Bobby are classic, had me in stitches! 🤣 Sir Bobby was always a great gentleman, a dream coach and a better person!

[@neilt1889]

As a Sheff Utd.fan we have only spent £35m this season from the Primer money the rest we paid off the clubs debts but the gulf between the new teams just gets bigger every year .

[@RugbyDad-79]

44 great episodes already. This is one of thee best football podcasts out there. 💪

[@curb1sh7689]

Can’t get over the crack between these three 😆 Creases me whenever Shearer gets on about how massive Micah is 😂

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

If Shearer played for Fergie, he would have won at least 6 EPL titles easily and probably a champions league or two. Plus his total EPL goals would surpass the 300 mark for sure.

[@indianrunner666]

que grande Alan, la honestidad y el sentido del humor, un diez

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Enjoying the Des Walker appreciation in this episode. He was one of my favourites when I was a kid. Lightning.

[@NoxiousRob]

I love the stories about Sir Bobby Robson. I remember Bryan Robson told one where he was the World Cup with England heading down in the hotel list to the pool. When he reached the bottom floor, the lift door opened and there was Bobby Robson getting into the lift. Bobby says to him 'hi Bobby' and Bryan replied 'no, your Bobby, I'm Bryan'.

[@andrewherbert7108]

There hasn't been better football banter and punditry since Saints and Greavsie. Great show, great fun, keep it up lads 👍

[@strickers07]

Great banter again. Seen a few say it’s unique I just think it shows the three of you are actually friends and actually want to work with eachother etc

[@francischeung2223]

Shearer and Lineker have always been funny, it’s just that on MOTD, they tend to be more serious by default!

[@Redmen1983]

It really is one, if not the best, football podcast out there. Love it

[@chuckd7697]

What a great answer by the legend Mr. Alan Shearer, the experience of the VAR booth needs to change...

[@rwb_gary6355]

The banter between these three is unmatched 😂😂 love this pod ✌🏽

[@JaneKellie-uh3mo]

Such A Great Crack Between These Three Gary, Alan & Micha. Gary L - Your Podcast Brightens Up So Many Untold Lives. 👏👏👏

[@iggyboy2805]

Best episode yet guys ur banter is next level has me crying with laughter the whole time watching the chemistry between u 3 is flawless, keep up the great work

[@StewartMarsden11440]

Great episode. Better than all the other football shows put together 😂

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

A league of their own is pretty good tho lol

[@FortValance]

A league of their own is a sport show not a football show

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

@WangPaste so better then match of the day basically?

[@tomleigh7478]

Just a beautiful pod which is also proper informative. It's all about the dynamics with these 3. Really ace 👌🏼✌🏽👊🏽 No BBC restrictions here.

[@dmoney7784]

Beautifully put😂

[@IAMNationX]

Micah never fails to cheer me up

[@emreduran5305]

Micah is just fantastic, what a guy man.

[@GaryKidd]

Love the sarcasm guys as it makes the show that much more enjoyable. Question for Micah. How does it feel to be more famous as a football pundit than you were as a player and is it harder now than it was when you helped Aston Villa go down? 😄

[@stdew07]

My dad doesn't understand Podcasts much but he would be psyched to see two of the deadliest finishers of his era having a chat like this 😊

[@AJ-qv1rs]

Love this format, over the dour sanitized stuff we get from the BBC ... great show, great chemistry ..

[@1346crecy]

Tottenham supporter and season ticket holder since 1988. ............What a player Des Walker was.!!!!!!

[@strictlygrey]

In terms of VAR I think it would work if you had it working like the challenge system on Tennis. So have the manager and/or captain able to challenge a referees decision and the VAR can then look to see if the decision is correct. Give them say 4 challenges a game (2 per half) and then leave it at that. If you run out of challenges, so be it, let the referees do their jobs otherwise.

[@lawrencebaker1811]

Exactly this, only thing I'd say is that you get your challenge back if you're proved right. The offsides however would probably need to remain the same.

[@whitenbald]

I think at some point, VAR will be fast and automated, just like goal-line tech. So I think we'll soon see fully auto offsides. I think then I would agree with challenges for red cards/second yellows. I also 100% agree with Alan about the handball rule - deliberate handballs only.

[@strictlygrey]

@@whitenbald I honestly think sticking to a set limit would be better, simply because we're already sick of lots of interference from VAR, and this way you limit it to at most 8 uses per game. Totally respect what you're saying though pal, just trying to limit the amount that VAR interferes with play. Totally agree with the handball shout too

[@Gazzi79]

Great idea actually.

[@Samivermusic]

I like the idea but I think there would need further tweaks especially around handballs. Handballs are given right now inconsistently so imagine loosing a challenge when it is similar to one against. They just need to simplify the rules and apply them consistently imo.

[@thorpick9193]

i dont like micah when he was on pitch..but i love him when he was speaking..he always positive vibe..laughing all day long..and making everyone day..❤❤

[@PedroPorridge]

His continuous laughing is annoying

[@jigmewangchuk4085]

Gary, Alan and Micah are great but you also have to tip your hats off to the people asking these questions. Quality. Best thing on KZbin by far. Oh and lets not forget Mr. Fiat Lineker as well XD

[@antlewis8439]

Chemistry between you guys is so good! Could listen to these three all day!

[@Jam-iv6xz]

People have forgotten what 'ball to hand' is, that's what most of the hand balls are now. If you can't move your arm or hand out of the way then it's ball to hand, like it always was. There's gotta be a line drawn somewhere with the handball rule. Context and common sense also have to play a part in it.

[@Crvena27]

What a mention by Lineker. Pietro Vierchowod (the Tsar) was a tough defender. Maradona mentioned him as his toughest opponent. Van Basten did also mention him.

[@Colchester-Fox]

Cracking podcast, love the banter. I've had two questions read out now, will try for lucky number three 🎉

[@FromTheHipp]

I'm from the states. and a barca fan(lineker 🤙🏾) this podcast never misses. and i dont miss a podcast!

[@LuxLisbon26]

I now have this picture in my head of Des Walker singing "you'll never beat Des Walker" in Gary's ear and it just makes me chuckle

[@leejones3377]

@garylineker I was at your last game at old trafford when I was a young boy with my Dad who sadly is no longer with us. I was behind the goal(East stand) that you scored a header from,everyone in the ground applauded.

[@robtalbot8060]

I love this podcast. 3 legends of the game (well, 2 and Micah 😉) that love football just having a chat. Perfect.

[@paulgibbons2320]

The dream they had is a pretty common 'impotence' or anxiety dream. If you were boxer you might dream that you keep punching and the punches had no effect. It's like dreaming about your natural gifts been taken away. Most people will encounter this at some point in their lives. Shows how hard people have to work to overcome the negative voices or doubts in our own minds. Even top performing athletes.

[@Kurgan618]

Ev1 laughing at Sir Bobby's forgetfulness, but Gary has told the Des Walker story every episode! 😂😂😂

[@XboneMalone]

Question for next week: Gary was infamously duped by Chris Morris into starring in an episode (with some other well known TV personalities) for a comedy show in the 90s; have either of Micah & Shearer ever been duped for a TV/Radio show and how? Would like to know when Gary realised and how he felt after realising ir?

[@FlatDerrick]

Sounds like nonce sense to me

[@johnsteadman1820]

Absolutely a gem of a program

[@motawfik]

Question - First, i want to say that i love this show and that u guys have amazing chemistry. So a question for each of you, if u did not have your 2 cohosts with you right now on the show, who will u replace them with? Will it be other pundits that you like and have have worked with before, or maybe it can be someone from outside of media and punditry but u believe will make a good/fun cohost? Once again, thank you for the show!

[@jamesmilne6351]

Question : what were the type of players you least enjoyed playing against and give examples. Amazing podcast and listening to you guys really makes me crack up after a hard days work

[@johnthresher259]

You boys could take this podcast out on the road. Surely you'd pack 'em in!

[@petesmart1983]

​@@eddlovesskiingwell he always been viewed as boring and straight up

[@stevenrennie9549]

Best football podcast on KZbin

[@phuston087]

Mikas answer to the question about weather players ever get together to get a manager sacked, is a huge reason I've really lost a lot of interest In modern football at the top level. The players are over pampered pricks with too much power. I hope some players whove taken part in that try managment themselfs in the future.

[@davidhanson1849]

Micah would make a great football club coach or assistant manager. The team spirit would be top notch

[@darkbydesign1031]

Question - Could Alan still come on as a sub for Newcastle just to take a penalty to get his PL total up a but more, could he still score against the current keepers ?

[@Mannydas728]

would he still have the legs to finish the rest of the game though?

[@colinwebb4844]

I think if u allow a pass that goes out of the side lines so long as it doesn't touch the ground should be allowed to play on and not be a throw in , that would certainly make the game quicker

[@nunosantos8497]

I started following English football in the eighties. My first vivid memories are from the Euro 84. Next, th Mexico 86, with England losing 1-0 to Portugal (my country). I still am an Everton fan and still have a soft spot for England national side, courtesy of the number of ZX Spectrum footy games and to Everton road to Rotterdam. Lineker played for a wonderful Everton team with great players and also for the best set of players in an England national side midfield. Hoddle, Waddle and Barnes were unreal and still there were Peter Reid, Trevor Steven, Captain Marvel...upfront, Lineker and Beardsley were ace. No wonder Lineker almost set the record for most international goals for England. But then, there were the early 90's....the service lost a lot of quality.

[@ryanswift3879]

Hello lads, best notification I get when you have uploaded. my question is, if there is a next upcoming charity match, can we see all 3 of you? I think you'll all still have it!💪🏻

[@lukeb.95]

Love this guy's. Please keep it going😂

[@StevoMusicManUK]

Another blinder, agree with Alan & Micah, World Cup every 4 years

[@tropicaltrev1617]

Seeing Infantino once every 4 years is quite enough!

[@mickelin100]

such a treat this podcast is

[@romanoonamor7690]

The way I see it, if when a manager tells a player who's been there for a long time that he isn't part of his plans, or he takes the captaincy away from him, and the player starts bad mouthing the manager to other players, and starts being late and not professional, it exactly proves that the manager was right in the first place.

[@DarioBrubeck]

Micah wrecks my head. Over the top laughing.

[@andresmerchan6418]

Question - would you fully scrap VAR or leave it for off ball aggressions or foul simulations? That gives back authority to referees but helping them with things that are particularly unfair in any circumstance

[@AlgerianFooty]

Thanks for answering my question ❤

[@philipmorrissey9142]

Hi lads, loving all the episodes so far. Great comraderie and craic between ye all. A question for Gary....with it being John Barnes' 60th birthday recently, what is your best memory of playing with him and how disappointing was the abuse he used to get from England fans?

[@ahmadmaliq8378]

The way Micah lusted over Zizou for his 5 a side is too much 😂😂😂

[@sirius1204]

"Got a little bit of an itch on me head there" 🤣🤣. Not even a minute in and I'm already laughing my ass off.

[@RajivPerera]

This is a laugh-a-second!! Love these guys!

[@RichardHolly-tl8qu]

I think to try and make it fairer with teams going up and down they could try a spending cap so every team has the same budget and every club should have to have play (start) 3-4 British players for every game

[@quantumart9948]

fantastic, i always have a good laugh when i listen to you guy's 🤣🤣🤣

[@josipperic5366]

Best football podcast. Rest dont come close

[@harrychester8570]

What would be your ideal 20 team premier league? Having teams like Forest, Leeds, Sunderland (sorry Alan) etc, surely makes the league more enjoyable for the neutral. Love the pod keep it up 👍🏻

[@jeremywilliams5107]

How about just changing the rules: any team spending more than 30M£ has to give the same amount to a team in the lowest league to improve facilities and grounds. The investment is a block to going up the leagues.

[@mattj1829]

How the absolute shit did I not know this existed? Added to my favourites straight away

[@mattsmith4589]

5:22 I respect the heck out of Gary for thinking about the planet because that would be a lot of Private planes flying every 2 years

[@theslugboiii5969]

Every other sport can manage a VAR type system properly but somehow football consistently fucks it up. Agree with Alan that it needs people who have played the game to be in charge of it

[@Rayhhh]

Should set up a quiz with the overlap podcast 😂

[@johneden3810]

Sir Bobby,, legend

[@jeremywentworth1833]

As usual brilliant episode, the trio need to take The Rest is football on the road.at least Leeds Leicester & Newcastle with the 3 being from those area's.

[@devononair]

I'm a "hat-trick and defeat" kind of player too. I play 7-a-side and all I get really annoyed if I don't get at least one goal.

[@HIYOJAYO]

I fancy Lineker play for the Vancouver Whitecaps, Micah plays for FC Tokyo, Alan Shearer for Alianza Lima....
