[@englishlad8085]

Alan still has that killer instinct even when he’s talking about scoring 😂

[@jasonharrison4959]

..😮

[@bantamNeil12]

Guys you've gotta get Gazza on for an episode...What an absolute legend that man really is!!!...Great episode as ever lads 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@philmarsden9594]

no, it will break your heart.

[@mansnotbot4160]

Yeah, it'd be both hilarious and sad.

[@trainlimitless9174]

I look out for these everyday, please keep the regular content coming

[@jamesgilbride2450]

Had to look up Micah’s goal vs Blackburn. Tbf to him it’s a class run from CB, and the celebration is coldddd

[@tribalpeacock]

I absolutely love Gary's Gazza stories 😊 Please get him on as a guest❤

[@amekaiza]

Big Meeks BACK AGAIN with the one of the funniest story. Balotelli was definitely something, brilliant

[@SilentDovePictures]

Thank you, guys, as someone who is struggling with life, being alone and trying to fill the void, I am Loving the content, it keeps my mind occupied for a while. With some fantastic stories your episodes are too short!! But thank you.

[@GiverJene]

Hoping u are having a better day

[@jackward1184]

Keep smashing these out 🤩 My question is to all of you guys, what is your best performance as a player?

[@Philthy_Animal02]

I'd love to see Ally McCoist as a guest on here, already heard some amazing stories, especially when it comes to the Gazza stories.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

As ever fantastic, Gary being Gazzas team mate at Tottenham and England also Alan with Gazza at England they should get in touch with all his ex team mates and do a Gazza special with stories of all his antics , amount of views it would get into the millions as everyone loves a Paul Gasgoine story..At anytime has anyone simply lost it and wanted to literally kill him for just been too much . Thanks gents always brilliant.

[@itscool95]

We need a episode where Gary and Alan tell Gazza stories

[@luqmaansaid2839]

Micah’s mouth cover stands out as one of the best celebrations that nobody cared about. Did any of you, before the 2 fists and the hand in the air, have any celebrations that just didn’t catch on? Love the quality and consistency lads

[@danbrown141]

Shearer scored so many amazing goals. The one where he holds off Desailly and smashes it in from 25 yards 😮‍💨

[@sandilejunhosibbz4696]

I would’ve NEVER guessed Alan is this hilarious😂

[@jugimons3094]

best podcast easily !! massive fan this line up is sensational ! looking forward to the next one lads !

[@j-larne]

The Gazza story with the two trout in Gordon Duries car has to be the best. I know it didn't happen with Gary or Alan but my goodness, the antics of him and McCoist at Rangers is legendary.

[@bantamNeil12]

Yeah it took Durie weeks to find out what it was...lol...😂😂😂

[@j-larne]

@@bantamNeil12 It took him a few days to find the first fish and he thought that was it, he didn't know about the second which is genius. 😂

[@bantamNeil12]

@j-larne yeah that's right and he had loads of Xmas Tree air freshners in the car to try and disguise the smell...Gazza what an absolute legend!!!...😂😂😂

[@trevorchapman9050]

These podcasts are truly the best thing out there content wise! Well done boys 👏👏👏

[@ceaget7252]

Superbly done, gentlemen! Great, entertaining show. 😂👍

[@shiewhun1772]

Honestly. This podcast is perfect, for EPL fans. The only thing that might add balance to it is a representative of the London clubs (and a Man Utd ex-player, that club is banter), and someone who can give POVs of the relegation-club experience. But you have had Henry on, and can have any other person on. So, this is perfect. I am a Chelsea follower and have no affiliation with Gary, Alan, or Micah. But I've not missed any episode of this in over a month. So, make of that what you will. Love it.

[@mir-944]

This podcast makes me lough a lot,thanks you guys 🙏🙏

[@StevoMusicManUK]

If I've had a hard day at work, after watching this podcast, I'm always in fits of laughter, thanks guys.

[@daveanthat4191]

Did Gary play for Barcelona?! He's never mentioned it before.

[@cjcj3536]

Just searched Micah's goal vs Blackburn 😂😂

[@johnstarmer4354]

Thank you for making my life enjoyable I live in the Philippines yet follow you every time you appear on you tube you make my day

[@jakebignell6664]

Loving the content! Do you think it's harder or easier for players when joining a big club, I find it interesting how so many successful players make a big move and just don't work out

[@DarthwRath]

16:48 That was a great callback by Alan. And his face while saying it. Love it.

[@magic1968]

Everton player from 80's Neil Pointon. His nickname was 'Dissa' as in 'Dissa-Pointing' 😆

[@niall-b4902]

I feel like big meeks has definitely reenacted his goals in front of his mirror 🤣🤣 what a man 💪

[@harrysboard7948]

Love the podcast guys!

[@AD-zs3ey]

Cheers fellas... Best football podcast out here... Great fun.

[@Mrdorf14]

I’ve watched a video of all Lineker’s goals for England and he really doesn’t do himself justice. He makes out he just taps them in but he’s actually scored a lot of varied and fantastic goals.

[@andrewharrison7767]

impossible - football didn't exist before 1993; well apart from 1966 obviously lol

[@burb5]

Love this podcast., it has become my number 1 can't miss

[@stephenbates9099]

Micah has managed to color match his jacket with the microphone perfectly.

[@jakneeeee4813]

Q&A is always fun to watch 😂

[@Medicinemen100]

How has this channel only got 128k subs. I'm sure there are more watching. Got to sub to support the channel. It's so good. I love That Peter Crouch podcast and have it's long been my favourite but now I have to say that The Rest is Football has taken my top spot. Brilliant guys:)

[@williamhargrave9202]

Look forward to these, highlight of my week.😎

[@haitchbomb08]

So I don’t know if this is the right place to be asking questions. But I’ll try anyway😂. Have you ever been star struck by someone you’ve played with if so who and why. Loving the pods lads.

[@BaggySu]

Love the podcast/show, guys. Keep it up! I have a question, it's before my time, but I want to know your guys' opinion about Just Fontaine. I heard this guy is a legend!

[@darrenpotter4339]

Just googled the Balotelli fireworks damage and it was actually £400,000 worth of damage he did to his own house 😮😂

[@stewybooch]

This has become a regular in my rotation. Love from North Carolina boys.

[@pauljmcmillan]

That Linekar goal v America was a beauty

[@dr.gordon420]

Lmaoooooo. Yo, Micah’s goal description was fascinating….turns out it’s a fucking tap in 😂😂😂😂 #TapInMerchants. This podcast is Perfection!!!!!! Love from Fort Lauderdale, lads.

[@shealey9763]

"Play once more for Newcastle all day every day" - there are a few Geordies who wouldn't mind seeing it either

[@LekstrocitY]

Best subscription I’ve ever made!

[@TDL1900]

Ooh, just saw Gary's snooker clip, I'm impressed! Now I wanna see Gary taking on Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips with that Tough Table Challenge...

[@mkdisciple]

That would be great! The footballer Cue Tips episodes are great!

[@TDL1900]

@@mkdisciple Yeah, imagine they both interviewing each other over a casual game of snooker, with Micah as the referee lol.

[@iMertin]

Looking at 86 World Cup Says runners up for golden boot were not just Maradonna. Spanish player Emilio Butragueno was on 6 and Brazilian Careca but they both got put out same round as England

[@mafiooato7233]

Imagine Balotelli and Gazza in a house together alone, that will be something 😢😢😢😢😢

[@mashebemunalula8901]

I like the dynamics here, Micah is the best.

[@godfreycadogan2913]

This podcast is next level 👍🏽

[@mohsinbeg9137]

Michah is a G!!!!

[@markdavis8430]

The 3 musketeers back again Absolutely class 😂

[@kevinsimpson1609]

That one about Gaza punching Flintoff and Barlow is the most I've laughed this year 😂

[@pamelabonaparte9383]

Thanks guys 🙌🏻👏🏻💖

[@C4rL72]

these 3 will be fighting by the end of the season lol , great podcast.

[@christopherjames6568]

How do I send in questions? Loving the banter, keep it-up chaps 👍

[@therestisfootball]

Twitter is the most direct place!

[@KangaroozADA]

Best podcast along with JRE to drive to

[@zakawy]

Never knew about Gary playing snooker, would love to see him on Stephen Hendry's KZbin channel and play a couple of frames!

[@ihanatorresvanderupora451]

Big Meeks kills me all day 😂😂😂

[@Kinger172]

Harry “the Fiat” Lineker 😂 Alan’s on fire!

[@fullydavid]

Gary's goal vs USA - quality strike. Second goal a more typical Lineker finish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDJlo2CrrlracU

[@olbapoli4074]

Question: as football was essentially a job, did you ever play in matches where you thought " i really cant be bothered today?"

[@moneyman2200]

I press the "Like" button even before watching the episode because I know quality is guaranteed.

[@pitchforkcustom]

yay new episode.. ❤

[@benjamincompton9767]

Pretty sure I once heard a story where balotelli was throwing darts at the youth team from an upstairs window 😂

[@1346crecy]

Take that, take that... Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Turnerello]

Gary, that volley against Belgium in 1990 surely has to be your best, great technique

[@Rio-cl5xc]

That was David Platt

[@benjamincompton9767]

😂🙈

[@2TenR]

Micha built that goal up to death 😂😂 that wad an anti climax 😂😂😂😂

[@allantheblue5084]

Shearers goal against us was the best volley I've ever seen

[@mark.j.stevens]

30 seconds in and I was already laughing my socks off...this is the best podcast ever...brilliant..thank you guys for the laughs and stories 😂

[@robsally5225]

The best show 😊

[@georgegarrett5626]

I just love these guys ! Would love to have a pint with them 🍺

[@abounyang9409]

I love both of you

[@daedralord1]

Micah laugh at any crap joke Richards. He’s the jimmy Fallon of football

[@ricardolognath8097]

Micah's Goal was class. Beating 5 players and running straight through the Blackburn team

[@ag93yra]

Concussion protocols in football are a disgrace as we've seen with Maguire today, how would you improve it? Great pod lads

[@thedrip4921]

Bruh I be wondering what Big Meeks be doing if not bursting’ at any time 😂

[@ryanwinton3167]

Love the podcast guys, but if football wasn’t a thing, which line of work would you have gone in too??

[@lewisvann1]

The very last question was the best one ...... one more game, of course

[@superstrongr]

Best show in fotball. 👍👑

[@assadullah1700]

This is the third time I've seen Micah blame Kompany for that goal, he's never gonna take the blame is he?😂

[@user-do1wv3ve1n]

I was there for shearers best goal !

[@virtualinsanity2457]

Can we get Gazza on here? 🤩

[@martincoughlan478]

Not sure where you get the questions from you answer to but Gary - Why is BHA so often on last on MOTD ? and more importantly, why was there zero analysis of Dunks disallowed goal against Everton ? The lines from VAR looks rto be from his hand, and the ball at the point they froze it looks to have clearly left the ground/Gross foot.

[@jonteau7722]

Better counter attacking team? 😂😂 We haven’t been this good in possession in ages!

[@therealjuanito]

We gotta see a Alan Vs Bale Golf-Off 😂😂😂😂

[@IDHANYT]

How Micah never said his goal against Notts County was the best he scored, Ill never know. Geezer athletically volleyed it (admittedly from close range) straight into top bins...

[@iam-geoffreytheelite5275]

The answer btw is “no, spurs are better WITH Ange and would be even better with Ange+Kane”

[@philmarsden9594]

thumbs up for gary swearing!!!!

[@Jacquerie]

In other countries, the star player would do what they do best. Why is there a tendency in England that you ask the star player to do everything? like Kane in Spurs, or Rooney in England. Back in the days, we didn't used to ask Alan Shearer to create in midfield. I am not suggesting a rigid 442 and everyone stays in their designated areas. but surely there has to be a balance in there? p.s. love the podcast.

[@jonahloke4054]

13:00 , but in 2023 we have players who feel the need not to apologise to a manager - thank you Micah for this story

[@theverydayfan]

When Alan dropped the 69 comment LOOL proper appreciate him cause of this podcast

[@andyatch33]

The one about Gazza shitting in someone’s toilet bag 😂

[@raasputin]

Mitre were the best balls. Solid as a rock

[@rodmarialvas]

Micah is easier if you say that Spurs are better with Ange, nothing to do with Kane and not possible to compare as we haven't seen Angeball with Kane :D

[@dannyelliott1512]

Any chance you can do a Gazza special? Maybe even get him on the podcast?

[@danielturner7213]

Gazza what a legend

[@RB-xg2vz]

Did Micah’s thunder thighs rip his suit during this podcast? I heard a familiar noise 😂😂😂

[@johnathondo3]

Ballotelli was my favourite player he was so cool

[@bluebadgebarragaming]

I have a question, if micah could play for any other country, which country would it be, I would say Switzerland as he loves a fence.

[@MDlis]

Why the breaks ? what do you guys do ?
