Got a funny story about Gary Lineker - I was working at Tesco many years ago and 3 drunk middle aged guys were buying more beer ( mid afternoon, obviously having it large ) when Gary Lineker walks around the corner with his missis. The guy's faces lit up, they run up to Gary ask to shake his hand and Gary was so polite and nice to them. They pretty much then followed him around Tesco for the rest of his shop asking to shake his hand again too, but Gary stayed so polite with them. Anyway the memory of Gary trying to do his Tesco shop while being followed by 3 drunk guys will forever make me laugh.

Liverpool FC really needs to address the biased treatment from the Football Association. They've been unfairly disadvantaged three times this season in crucial matches that could decide the title. Similar injustices occurred in previous seasons, like the Rodri handball incident and the non-penalty call against Leicester City involving Kaita. This level of corruption is unprecedented. The owners, FSG, should take action, (maybe they won't because it might not make business sense for them) I'm contemplating canceling my TV subscription and boycotting the English Premier League entirely due to the blatant corruption. Liverpool should demand a replay of the Tottenham game as it's stipulated in the football regulations. Btw I Honestly think Klopp decided to walk away from Liverpool FC because of the rampant corruption in the EPL. The man has given his all, and if that's not enough due to the league's shady dealings, then what more can he do?

As a kid growing up in USA IN 90s.. everyone played soccer. And unless u had a crazy/different coach EVERYONE played in a 4-3-3.

So 3 defenders.. 3 midfielders.. and 3 forwards. And a sweeper or stopper. We had zero idea what a wingback, holding midfielder, false 9, etc etc was

I think to add to the point Gary made about, it being important that Man City and Liverpool have won the title recently, but Arsenal haven't is important when it comes to. What I would call "the transition". During the first part of the season, winning by 4 or 5 goals is great. And is a real confidence booster.. But, grinding out a sneaky one-nil. On a cold Tuesday night in Stoke is more important.. That's where Ancelotti during his Chelsea title winning season was a master.. Towards the end of the season, scoring and shutting up shop.. Arsenal became unstuck last season. Because people may point to "well they won, THESE games from losing positions". But going one nil down, twice in the same season, in the first minute of the game. Isn't fantastic..
@syc25436 ай бұрын
Which is one of the better improvements this season. Teams aren't targeting the first minutes like Bournemouth last season, and a few teams. Then the control. First half of the season, you could see the slow start was deliberate to keep the games contained and controlled. Now the handbrake is slightly released but we aren't conceding much. Hell aside from Willock's goal everything else could be chalked up to errors from Arsenal which can be wiped out. Teams are creating next to nothing. The Porto and City games will define how we handle Villa, UTD and Spurs away. If we win the first 2, the confidence boost for the next 3 will be immense. Chelsea will be at home so am quietly confident of that one. Fingers crossed we win it. Usher in the new era (No ETH jinx😂)

Easy to say City should've done better because we were missing players, but this completely undervalues the quality of their replacements. Kelleher should not be back up, he's just incredibly unlucky with who is in front of him. Bradley has arguably been only second to White since coming into the team. He's going to be a great player. Quansah just seems to have no problem playing senior football. Best compliment you can give him is I don't sigh when I see him starting. Gomez has been better than Robertson this season. After going through a tough patch, he's back to looking like a quality player. Endo, we need to talk about this guy. One of the best value for money signings we've made in years. He's absolutely incredible, I love the guy so much. All of them could start the remaining games I still feel confident we would win the majority of them.

Just about the two-footed question. Micah makes a great point about Messi and Maradona, but I do think the asker was emphasising training both from a very young age, rather when you're already an adult, given that it's much easier to learn when you are very young, like with languages. It is a very good question to ponder over. On the one hand you give players that extra versatility and unpredictability against their opponent, but on the other, players like Messi adapted to their one-footedness so brilliantly that changing their whole style of play to become two-footed could ruin their development/undermine their potential because that one-footedness just feels so natural for them that you'll be forcing them into something that for some or other reason doesn't suit their game as well.

@therestisfootball how are you debating the penalty? He’s kicked him in the chest, anywhere else on the pitch it’s a red. The ref crapped himself since it was last minute because he didn’t want a bunch of city players barking at him again (like countless other matches) and so he chose the wrong decision.

I'm sure the pitches and the increased physical output from players are factors in increased injuries for sure like Micah and Gary are saying, but also you have to speak of the scheduling as well. The last three years have been bad because of COVID, the postponed Euros, the missed international breaks and the mid season World Cup, but in general I think over the last decade the length of the players' end-season breaks have got shorter, which is bound to have an effect on the players' physical condition as well. I've only been following football since 2011 so I can't speak for the situation before, but the work load of some of these players seems ridiculous - we've seen players clock 4000-5000 minutes in a season for club and country which is a lot.

I played American football in the UK, and needed to wear glasses but couldn't put contact lenses in. I played WR and it was exactly as Micah described. I'd only see the ball clearly once it got fairly close to my hands so I'd be tracking a blur up to that point

6:23 - Van Dijk almost cost Liverpool a goal as he went to sleep and saw Haaland steal the ball from him casually. First time I've ever seen him get dispossessed like that - had Haaland scored, would have been a different story.

That miss by Diaz hurts so much as a Liverpool fan. Draw is better than a loss. Tactically thing taking off nunes was the mistake.

Premier League referees 'earning £2,500 for overseas matches' on top of Prem salaries (per match). I wonder who pays for their plane ticket, or hotel suite? But we should just "trust" that it doesn't affect their "performance" in the PL?

The reason people always mention Rio, Terry etc is because of the quality of attacks they faced being far superior

Hi guys, love the pod I’ve been a regular FIFA player, now FC24, and have often used icon cards, which are retired players. For example, Pele, Eusebio, Bobby More and the Premier League top goal scorer Alan Shearer, World Cup Golden Boot winner Gary Lineker, but for some reason, no Micah Richards? Have you ever seen clips of celebrations from within the game when players have scored. And also, Micah, how come you don’t even have a Hero card within the game? Much love guys ❤️

When judging players from different eras, if you don’t look at it relatively, the current player will always be the best. The world and football is constantly moving - the game is different. Rio couldn’t have handled the pace of today’s game. He couldn’t. Terry, Vidic, Campbell, et al, none of them could so van Dijk could be considered the best based on that. However, it’s nobody’s fault when they were born. If van Dijk was BORN 20 years earlier, he wouldn’t have developed into the player he is in today’s game. So, you have to judge players relatively against their own era. In that respect, players like Ferdinand and Terry made more of a sustained impact on the game. They were better players for their era than van Dijk is for his era, so i would go with them. That said, we’ll never be able to see the older players, including much older players, player against the current era, so it might be better to say that the best of that era are just as good (not worse, not better) than the current era and just leave it at that. Christ, I think Alan Hansen is up there with the best ever and nobody ever even mentions him!
