This Energized Show episode from 13 July 2020 is almost entirely football coverage: Jack Charlton’s death, Manchester City’s Champions League ban being overturned, the Champions League and Europa League knockout draws, the Premier League top-four race, and the relegation battle. The hosts also discuss Liverpool’s push toward 100 points and preview an FA Cup semi-final. MMA content is limited to brief asides near the end. The hosts note that some viewers prefer their MMA content but still watch the football show for the banter. Ross mentions Kamaruzan winning a fight over the previous weekend with strong foot stomps. They remind listeners that their separate MMA show—also called the combat show—airs on Wednesdays, and Ross says he created a small Facebook discussion group called MMA Combat Elite (about 20 members at the time) for MMA talk linked to their audience.

let's see how things go mma show is out on wednesday as well so don't forget that as well yeah go ahead um yeah so we're going to kick off the show with the ireland lost the legend this week uh oroip to jack charlton what an absolute legend he brought us to the euros uh in 1988 that's when ray houghton put the ball in the english net uh what a moment uh he also brought us the world cup in 1990 and we got to the finals so you know after the legend and we got to the world cup in 1994 two world cups and euros bosmo as much as maybe maybe he is ireland's most successful manager of all time an absolute legend i'm like as an englishman who at manage island ever had more songs made about no i think it's because he embraced the paddy had as well to be honest yeah you know what that was actually absolutely it was if it was it was a farmer or something wasn't it yeah he also won the world cup in england in 1966 so he's also a world cup winner as a player uh he knew how to get the job done didn't he yeah like a lot of people said that like aren't going to play better football london like i've listened to those even donkey podcasts and uh they discussed how he would like he was just set in his ways and he was like this is the blueprint we're going to get things done now apparently he did get things done he also had ireland's greatest ever team as well yeah but the fans got behind him like there was no tomorrow do you know half a million people showed up to welcome the team back after the 1990 world cup i saw the pictures man it was just uh it was that was a bit before crown of viruses around wasn't it yeah yeah it's how do you know it was lit yeah really well that's a legend yeah but that's how you see the way we're covering these for the football now like i hope for days like that to happen so we can be almost well technically you feel part of it by covering it but like i feel i feel like i'd love to see how i'm going to work up again when uh like last time we saw the world cup was 2002. yeah hopefully for the euros in 2021 we'll be we'll be in it it'll be in dublin at some stage yeah and the fans will be local i can't believe there's so many hurdles now for social what seems to be a small thing i know there is a lot of hurdles ireland yeah two big games coming up uh away to slovakia and then away to either northern ireland or bosnia if they win the first one so it's going to be a tough tough two tough games i think the first game is going to be tougher but the second game is going to be in a tougher environment if you have to play northern around the way absolutely there might be any fans there so it might actually work out in our favor you know although i think does our team not benefit with fans no yeah but we're away oh for away yeah yeah not the home not the home games not the home games so basma where joel says you're enjoying that is a tear coffee around today um this video is just pure vulcan man you know oh sorry alcoholics oh yeah well i thought you would have said the whiskey but sherlock um right well that's my polish blood kicking here's the rundown of the show okay here first of all everyone thanks million for tuning in and i was actually at a party over the weekend and a lot of people say they really enjoyed the shows some of them some of them just watched the football even though they prefer the mma but they just like having a bit of crack with us i was also told previous shows i couldn't i could almost come across as a bit um too serious i think it's because like i'm recording so i make sure the internet and everything is [ __ ] work i'm always like oh my head but uh yeah like myself and i was like we just love doing this stuff and uh gentlemen i'd recommend it to anyone to start doing this stuff especially if you're like uh i wouldn't say we're a specialist but uh if you're passionate about something yeah if you're passionate about something do it because uh there's an audience there and the met the friends we've made through it was just uh crazy crazy i just long made it again but uh on today's show obviously we wanted to cover jack trial and passing away because that was uh that was terrible news to get take that box yeah exactly uh then like obviously if you've been checking out our instagram page uh the champions league draw was made your openly draw was made and then obviously today the big news is man city are after being allowed into next season's champions league so we're gonna kick it off there but at the end we will be looking over the top four and the relegation battle and uh russell has a question of the day will liverpool break the hundred point mark barrier and set the record so russ we're gonna kick it off man city today it was announced they're gonna be allowed in next season's champions league after we said they were not getting it we're like they're not getting it top five is a ping i've made a tough thing and now it doesn't exist yeah never never chose that uh after barry creating the top five being being like such a work in progress it looks like the brown envelope prevailed as always with fifa if you have a big enough brown envelope you can get anything dawn or man city or if you're talking about or if you're talking about brown man city are back this is massive news for man city as a club people were looking at man city and they were very much fearful for them at the club there was talk to pepe pariola leaving if they got banned there were talks of aguero kevin de bruyne other star men including their manager were talk of leaving now man city can not only prepare for next season's champions league and premier league but they can also add to their squad knowing that they have charms league football next year this makes man city one of the top contenders for the champions league and the premier league next year and it makes them a massive force again in the transfer market yeah all the above man uh originally they were meant to be kicked out of europe for two years and have a 27 million pound fine and now it's cut down to nine million pounds and no ban so first of all why are they getting where they can find if they're not getting banned yeah i don't understand getting fined er if you're getting banned it's doesn't really make any sense it's either it's either guilty or not guilty yeah but usually in court it's like you sue me and then all you come out right you have to pay for my expenses yeah fees costs so well maybe there was something maybe it's because there was so many infringements but they didn't actually do anything illegal if that makes sense maybe it's corrupt man it's [ __ ] crazy well look oh i'm just trying to look for the legal aspect of why this have to pay a fine and don't get bound well anyway you know what they're back in it and nothing we say on this podcast is going to change that so let's look at man city now they're like a mile off liverpool in the league but they're still very far ahead ahead of everyone else yeah where's their where's their game 12 points i had a chance to 21 points where's their gains going to be in the next transfer window and do you think this will have a positive effect on them playing champions league this year or do you think they'll be like oh well really next year obviously they'll try and win the champions league this year but do you think they'll it will sort of you know stunt their champions league this year good question no i think that's gonna re-energize everything like that's going to take that cloud that manchester cloud off the off the building and they're like right the sun is the sun is now calm now they can get players in who want to come or who are like hungry because real estate anyone who's going to go there and be banned out of the champions league or europe for two years really more likely gonna be a mercenary you know like people would ambition not gonna go somewhere that's like sinking really uh look i look at for instance you know like the demo maria's and the falcaos of this world but uh now everything the way they've even been playing recently as well i know they've been up and down slightly more often down but crushing teams five now it seems like the two manchester clubs seem to be like on fire definitely uh raheem sterling seems to found his form again as well did you see his matrix there against brighton does he have to go oh well the one where he fell over and hit him on the head uh look when you're playing well there's sort of things that go for you um who do you think barry that man city are going to buy in this window and where do you think they need to strengthen obviously they've been looking at center back attacking more is the brilliant man like you know like they have to bernardo silvers or the bar races that come on boy i think center back but the problem is there's not enough center backs do you think that um thiago silva could be someone that they look at he's on a free uh you can turn him off for a year it might be a stock gap for a year uh you could definitely bring on someone like garcia and you know and potentially against weaker oppositions or you'd also add that bit of european experience that even laporte would lack that's a good point um i think now because of all this all this what what's after happening now they've been led off with it with a slap in the wrist i think now people are going to be nosing in on their transfers right so like if you get one warning you should really like be like all right [ __ ] but um yeah i think sort of easier deals they might try and do more of them and another question for you obviously sergio aguero was one of the best strikers in premier league history uh however it's always very well known that he's got a horrific uh injury record he misses at least 10 games a year i think it's safe to say is gabrielle jesus enough if sergio aguero is not there to get the job done or that may be an area that they need to strengthen also aguero's sort of getting on his career and i feel like he's only one or two injuries away now from like happiness do you think they need to replace them or do you think they need to bring in someone who could potentially replace them see he's such a little crafty fox in the box you know like i guess the way he's sort of small as well now i don't know he looks small compared to centre-back sport like he could he's under six foot anyway yeah yeah yeah but like he could run by your chin and you wouldn't even see him you know and then he's like behind her in front of you uh the way you can score goals like you don't lose that like natural finishing is just in your dna to get someone to replace them i think they'd almost need to get someone who's fast someone like highlands maybe his dad used to play for man city yeah fair fair no i'm just looking out i think one more season i think he has one more season than i'm daphne well it depends on how he recovers from this latest i think there's a knee operation uh i think this is more of a maintenance thing oh okay but look he it definitely feels like he's one injury away from that dish and or well from definitely like severely depreciating his uh performance and i think a potential replacement for aguero and a center half is definitely where they're most in need who do you go for instead of aguero yeah and you're nosy [ __ ] [Laughter] i i really like that on show i think that's like top of the range really to be honest um i don't really think there's anyone else out there who because they can't play the same same like that but if they're willing to put the cash down i think hurricane could do all right for man city yeah i think i think with that level of service he'll score goals for you because he's quite good at sort of getting the tapping goals he's a bit of a poacher compared to aguero so i think he'd do that for you i think it would be about the same man would you mean poaching goals i think aguero's better being a poacher yeah but i think i think aguero's slicker attitude is imposed i think hurricane the more fall to harry kane if that makes sense his goal like hurricane doesn't score incredible goals aguero well i think harry can't be more of a goal scorer he'll say the boxing aguero if i was to look at him but uh who would you yeah well i feel like i feel like harry kane will get your scrappy goal in the box according to him when he got that winner and he was like aguero yeah well no that wasn't a voice because that was that was the right roy plays the right time no one's better you took that out of your brain but yeah there you go uh i suppose hurricane but i definitely think highland's a better holland people are going to be knocking on his door you know who they could get if they got your man diabala from juventus and played him or front he might be able to do it i know but i don't think the about like dear battles are also another person who scores great goals but i don't think he is like he would would sort of sit another penalty spot and just sort of get everything you know right down the middle although maybe jesus is the guy if he just plays 30 games in the season you know yeah or else like if you think about like if the development of the front tree you almost have to be a hybrid way green will complain in every position yeah maybe someone can play in every position and like they already have sterling bernardo silva and mares those three could be the starters put sterling down the middle maybe who knows they might already have the answer because uh sterling's 24 so yeah be interesting hold on like scoring goals isn't actually their problem you know as well no no definitely not definitely not sure they won't fall they won't fight you know but everywhere the other day no bother nobody no weather i think that's the second time they score fox all day open there as well yeah no it's just i think just this the center back position but you know what like as much as i was like oh man cd oh that just makes it why don't we just throw that question out to the people who are watching this at home let us know in the comments below if you're a man if you're a pep guardiola who are you chasing the transfer window this summer let us know in the comments below yeah yeah how many how much money do you think they have to spend i think i don't i don't think that's really a problem i think okay it's who they want yeah but they could start going for cooler body as well maybe something yeah he said in the week he's got he might retire an aptly not if you're not gonna be payday right so let's have a look at that champions league basma oh yeah sorry i was sorry what was what i was going to say there was a man city and like i was annoyed they're laid in the champions league because now it's the top four only gets champions here but also next season will make the football even better i think having this cloud over manchester this season also just didn't didn't help them in their uh chase for the title so next season that everyone's going to be even better you know it's the lyricals and the mancies and the chelsea's it's going to be way more exciting obviously i'm forgetting the team wolves let's see but uh yeah russ you you're saying oh just saying we're going to look at the champions league the champions league this uh year round is obviously very different it's going to be played over a one leg system uh some of the second legs of the round of 32 were still two played or the round of 16 should i say uh fully enough when the draw was made all the second legs of the round of 16 are on one side that are a game due and then the four teams are fully qualified on the other side barry do you want to call us out the fixtures that are left to be played yeah okay the champions league is actually back on the 12th of august the day after a birthday for everyone who do writes down that [ __ ] but uh atlanta are taking on psg then thursday leipzig are taking on atletico madrid the friday the 14th napoli or barcelona are taking on chelsea or bayern with munich no go on no because it's not in the last 16 years couple games in the last 16. yeah but you're saying or them or them the qualifier still have to play natalie yeah barcelona still have to play nothing chelsea down to bay bayern uh real madrid or man city are going to play leon or juventus yeah there you go so we have a first look at the games that are left to be played to get us the uh quarter finals yeah so um foreign yeah so let's just say bohr munich are one quarter pointless anyway and barcelona are one nail up against napoli i think two of them there uh i actually don't i'm actually just remembering off the top of my head now i know i know um man city you have two away goals against real madrid which is definitely the sort of the swinger of atari ones might say and then lyanna won it up against juventus um and that was our home for leon so look if you fancy real madrid to beat em man city they're 30 to want to win the entire champs league that's not a bad price considering they've been there and done it all before uh barry who are you looking at the champions this year and who you're favoring and also with this new format do you think we could see someone who's never won the champions league before get the job done that's i know you asked me two questions there but i'm sort of thinking if you're an attacking team something like man city if they're like right we'll be whoever 6-3 7-4 eight to four yeah i mean like they can they they know they can score a lot of goals so if you go out and if it's one game system so there's gonna be no repercussions of the away goal rule just go out and get five and i you fancy man cd to not concede five but what about someone like atletico madrid who were able to over 90 minutes like really nullify liverpool and make it very hard for them to play they're a great cup footballing team you think someone like atletico madrid might be able to finally read stack laurie and actually become champions league winners if she did when they notified liverpool they had like ages to prepare for that one game and then after that game you move on right so you're gonna have less time to focus on the next game but like like everyone here is gonna be slowly focused on their first fixture but then like you're gonna have little time to get ready and recover for the next team it's gonna be the most fastest played champions league of all time i wonder would that favor someone like man city who has the large squad as well yeah um obviously they have a tall art halves together past real madrid then they might have to play juventus then they might have to play board munich or barcelona that side of the draw is extraordinarily heavy the other side of the draw has four teams who have never lifted the champions league trophy as atletico madrid as uh orbee leipzig atlanta and psg so we're going to have one team in the final that's never won the champions league before i think that that semi-final is definitely going to be atletico madrid versus psg and that's a great semifinal where like you can almost chalk down already is this psg's best ever chance to win the champions league now yeah 100 percent they play atlanta the pro player atletico madrid and then they just have to be one of those big teams that they've always struggled to beat in the knockout phases one time yeah but if you also look at psg their biggest problem has been neymar has never been fit going into these following rounds of the champions league neymar is back and bappa is back they're also playing friendlies um at the moment to keep the team match fit as well and both those players are still playing as well yeah man so it's actually so exciting like i mean i know obviously if you're a liverpool fan you've already won the league nothing's really exciting now but like the way that the battlefield top four and then champions and you're out believe me people have totally forgotten that these two competitions are still going on and the fa cup as well so barry tell me who do you think i got who's ended up in this champions league final this year i'm going to go psg and i'm going to go you'll decide the draw is so juicy isn't it oh man it's almost yeah very juicy the the the options are unbelievable the other side of the job real madrid city leon juventus napoli bars chelsea barn like then versus psja psja in the final is it's you know you're getting a good one you know who do you fancy i'm going to say atletico madrid versus bar munich in the final although i would definitely fancy born munich more if all the games are paid over two legs like they've been caught with their pants down sometimes over one leg yeah especially last season yeah so like i'm hoping for a real madrid versus juventus semi-final ronaldo versus real madrid it could be a battle of the bank balances in the final man city versus psg have you talked about osman i think i i i would love to see juventus versus psg and then at the end of the season ronaldo might be leaving juventus and going to psg for the crack yeah well look events have to be leon and that's not easy either so who are you going for the winner of the whole entire thing this is guessing you know what i actually think the safest thing for me to say is the letter madrid because like it's the easier route the final yeah yeah so i'm going to say atletico madrid finally lift that champions league with diego simeone i'm just going to go for psg for the crack like i actually don't think they will win it but like when using the same point as you yeah yeah it's like if i say boy munich they're knocked out of the quarterfinals you look like a dick oh man look like moreover take them to do an l that's something yeah that's impossible man but uh let us know actually in the comments whoever's watching this now if you watch this and you don't put comments in like you you're missing you're missing on the on the banter in the comment section yeah your name is just mark hustle but uh in the europa league draw ross that was also made straight away after unless people gave a [ __ ] well there was still some but we gave more of a [ __ ] well that was manual fans yeah do you think do you think we could give alaska a few bob like give them a hundred grand or something like that and they'll offer to just forfeit the game against us uh you know they're at home oh no sorry it's in the majority of these games are going to be on the germany so um i suppose just means you know they're gonna have to bring the reserves no no phil jones can have his testimonial for this game you can indeed he can't indeed also this is a quite an interesting one because some any what way am i putting this so in the round of 16 which the rat at the moment same champions league some of the first legs never took place and they're not taking place so there's gonna be one leg fixtures so if the first leg was played they'll play the return leg but no first leg was played it's a single legged fixture yeah these games come back wednesday the fifth of august the first one's shaktar domestic against wolfsburg shocked early 2-1 the second game is copenhagen versus istanbul but cashier copenhagen lead this one one nil you know they're taking alaska another five mill up and then in the final game on that day it's inter milan taking on guitar that's a one rounder that's a one game a winner takes off that's when it takes off then on thursday sevilla take could take on roma which is like which is should be a very good game uh yes that's a one leg fixture uh buy leverage and take on rangers spoiler leverkusen lead 3-1 so the jurors will definitely be out uh basil had taken on frankfurt possibly this three-nil and then very interesting wolves were taking olympiaks that was one-on-one after the first leg man by the way wolves are a class yeah but one thing that does need to be said is the return legs are taking place in the home team stadium that is okay so yeah so they're not in germany if you if you have a home game you're playing in your own stadium so you know they're playing old trafford oh i'm also playing them wolves yeah wolves are playing the modern new yeah yeah that's true that's fair though well if we're into milan are playing guitar in germany yeah girls and curriculum yeah so yeah and sevilla play roma in germany as well yeah i don't know what story with that is going to be uh in relation to like quarantine stuff but i don't know well let someone else we'll let you a for worry about that i'm sure there's loads i'm sure there's going to be loads of tests for all the players before they get there yeah ufc's tall they do what they're doing now for all the major league baseball the basketball the mma so just to clarify for the quarterfinals the winner of wolzberg versus shaktar will play the winner of frankfurt versus basel man united will play istanbul or copenhagen the winner of introverts and qatar will play the winner of rangers versus leverkusen and the winner of olympiakos vs wolves to play the winner of roma sevilla nice that's a double game yeah and then versus superior would be the best wolves versus the vrt because it's a bit the sort of portuguese player versus the spanish player and the winner of dot the winner of that game actually played the winner man you know it versus i don't know copenhagen or isn't bull man you know you seem to have the easiest run to the semi final to put it that way out of all the teams i actually thought you know it on the harder side no to get to the semi-final okay the quarterfinal i'm saying their quarterfinals is going to be easier okay okay well they're going to have to pay the winner istanbul versus copenhagen who do you think's going to win that i don't really know what it is it doesn't matter who's going to win it they're gonna be both of them like what are you talking about man pretending to pretend that you know who plays for iska sure no i'm pretty sure they've one player that's like a well-known footballer on their team but forget who it is it could be like ryan babel even though it's not but someone like that i think it's like dembele or it's poppy c say something like that oh i'm gonna actually like go look up their team like right who's this guy boss is claiming to know it could be like something like freddie ado or something let's see lineups in their last game dembele and and martin squirtle and gail clichy all right was the one i was thinking of yeah so they're not terrible man that's they sell a few tickets yeah they do yeah that's that's almost like i've seen an old school uh charge team or something it's like look who we have people you've seen before they let like but remember enough from one city it's like oh damn it yeah it's like it's like they played in go teams before yeah like remember remember the gold that when gerard slipped it was this guy [Laughter] do you remember joe the big tall fellow of the brazilian shop from yeah he was like you barton played two games and [ __ ] off but uh yeah there we go i told you i knew some of them players had something and who did she get into this uh europa league final i i don't know like i'm not she thinks about united you could be overly confident that next week video six nil well today we lose six meals a hundred that's danny ingram for one um i i don't know if it can happen but intermittent versus you know the final would be interesting for everyone i think more on the sides of the draw okay well then i'll take that it'll be it's just whatever it gives the fans the most excitement and interest in the game is what i want to have so therefore yeah when we cover this [ __ ] it's good like for instance kamaruzan won there in a [ __ ] fight there over the weekend like i'm putting him as you're told now you're getting money man great great great foot stomps now oh yeah he's sewing me up in competition uh yeah well we get that on there we'll do the better full stump camaro or dt when oh man shout out arsenal fantasy after a little bit like if you don't love it you're an awful long time but for me for me on one side of the draw you have manny noidland sevilla and the other side of the draw you have interim leverkusen they're sorry your four top contenders for for this year obviously honorable mention to rome and wolves as well i just don't think wolves have that european experience but still a very good toy yeah they're a very good side uh then we may as well get it back into the top four race should we because as we said man city are going to be down to champions league next year so that means that the top four get into the champions league at the moment it's liverpool win the league already in uh man city are coming seconds as ross mentioned earlier they're in no man's land they're basically like 21 points on the top and 12 points ahead of turn so like they're just in there with three against the goal uh they actually they actually can't be caught like they're second no matter what yeah they're on 91 goals as well let's see if they can get over the hundred mark i'm sure they're going to be going for that uh so at the moment chelsea are third with 60 points leicester at fourth with 59 points both chelsea and esther played one game more to man united who played two noise against southampton uh united are currently on 58 points so if you know they went tonight they go into third uh then walls are three points pretty behind the united but they play the game extra i'm not even looking chef in the united stands that's i don't know they're back and forth but i can't see them getting into that like hopefully they get your open league or uh ross to be honest like chester united would have to win two games unless you would have to lose two games for them just get ahead of them okay even further realistic here really see i think it's it's it's a three three three uh you have three balls to put in two holes really okay that's the way it opened up uh it looks like leicester are trying their best not to finish in the champions league spots uh but it looks things now without bournemouth we're fighting for relegation and survival but when you go one nil up against the team in the bottom three and they come back and beat you 4-1 and dominic solanki scores his first ever goal for your team oh you know you're in trouble you know you're in trouble uh brendan rodgers just seemed can't seem to get anything out of this lesser team since they've come back from um lockdown they've had two draws two losses and one win yeah i mean that doesn't really cut the cheese for me man you know that have had one draw five wins chelsea had two loss and three wins kings are training for manchester united finished third and chelsea to finish fourth uh chelsea also played norwich next and maybe the worst team in premier league history i don't care about the points total when you lose four nil to a team that's also fighting uh for relegation and your survival um michael antonio scores four goals against you you're the worst team in premier league history uh you makeshift right back playing up front that's the worst team i've ever seen uh chelsea again fighting for top four lose three nails sheffield denied it not good enough for my book manchester united especially if they go out and get the results here against southampton tonight they're a shoe in for third spot in my opinion chelsea also have to go play liverpool next after the norwich not easy picture oh yeah leicester are just they seem to be running out of gas they really really do not have madison on the page as well that's like another outlet they have like ian actually came to them from man city yeah he wasn't even scoring goals from one city and he came and he's not scoring any goals here yeah in france i don't think he's the worst player but like he's not he put it this way no one else in the top four is like oh he's in nacho you know you know what i mean it doesn't quite do it for me look if your strikers aren't scoring goals you're going to be in serious serious trouble especially the way you know to have the you know it's from five are all scoring goals you know yeah well that's the thing and look in natto's got off five goals this season sorry i just have less shots here madison's got six barnes has six and perez has seven and barty has 23. he's scored basically all their goals so it seems to be if you can stop barty you can stop leicester yeah but now now the ball is in the united court in order to win with three games together they play less than the last day of the season i still think that could play some sort of part in whether well whether you know you know come third or fourth but uh what are you thinking about now ross i think you know they're going to win the rest of their games they're just in that good form sure they're beating everyone by three goals it's not like they're sneaking us what about do you think that last game of the season it could have soon determine factor it could be your last throw the doors for leicester that's the way more of what i look about well what about if you know you know you play in the ethical semi-final this week and i think it's the saturday against chelsea yeah do you think that could derail them then for the last game of the season be like oh i think the more games football this team plays together the better they get and that's just from what from looking at uh week in week out their performances have just like stacked on top of each other and confidence is absolutely flourishing within that side yeah here for people that don't support you know i'm sure a lot of people are watching the man united play because they're like oh [ __ ] right they actually like to come back what's your overall thoughts on this team now compared to like it and uh yeah what's your thoughts well it looks like mason greenwood's been given that run of games that he's been looking for all year uh i think he scored nine goals in his last eight games and obviously that's phenomenal start he can score goals off both feet he seems to be operating down the right and martial seems to have really found his shooting boots and his confidence since lockdown's come back he's pissed off he gets taken off he's smiling when he scores uh he's obviously a very very good natural talent rashford's actually sort of dwindling a little bit i'm almost like you know pre-lockdown rashford is probably the only player who's actually better than post lockdown uh but bruno fernandez is anytime he tortures the ball you know i mean it turns to gold and paul pogba seems to be loving playing alongside him and then i have to give a shout out to man nemanja matic uh he's doing a great job playing defensive midfield man you know it looked very very good and that's just a matter of fact about it since uh lockdown's you know undone manchester united will be winning the premier league now obviously the game's played over 38 games i'm not saying man you know they're the best team in the league but on form no one's beating them at the moment yep well like equally i'd like to say you know chelsea have been unlucky at times uh they caught west ham on a day or west ham showed a lot of fight pool of stitches looking great for them willian's looking great for them as geru and abraham are looking like that they're happy enough to get in amongst the goals ross barkley ruben off his cheek uh they're all doing their bit for chelsea chelsea are looking good as well uh i'll be very interested to see them with uh zh and werner and next year they'll be two definite improvements to their squad a follower of them will be looking to bring in the center half yeah the defense to the defenses is not up to them and their goalkeeper's actually statistically the worst goalkeeper in the premier league keppa has a 54 save rate in the premier league and it's the worst in the premier league by about 8 so uh i think they'll have to buy a new goalkeeper next year it'll be i'd be very uh surprised see them stick with the one they have at the moment i think they're gonna end up keeping them i think they'll keep er kappa and golf they spend too much money on them and no one's gonna sign well who knows maybe they can do a deal where they send them back to spain and get someone in return back this way black spain [Laughter] [Music] then just just to finish off letter i just don't see brent i just don't see brandon rogers getting them on track jamie vardy is going to walk away with a golden boo lester will be playing europa league next year and i just feel like that's that's the way it goes i won't just have one quick look at the league just to make sure that they actually can't slip much further down they are five points ahead of chef at annoyed i'd be very surprised to see them do that although they play sheffield you know next and a win for sheffield united would only put them two points behind sheffield and they're chasing down leicester for europa league spot that's the way i look at it what would you think what would you think brendan rodgers and lester if they came into lockdown in third spot and then left and seventh wouldn't be good luck for him would they ah what would i say to that it's sort of funny because they were doing a great season to be in third it's not like everyone's like although they're flying victims finished they were flying it was just and also at the start team at the finish seventh year went fair enough you know what i mean yeah but then they got the injuries as well and like their squad isn't big enough to be in the champions league anyway no like in fairness look you'll learn a lot about them they're at home sheffield's united their officers lose them forward to bournemouth let's see the response they have that would help everything and also ever since madison was linked to united he just hasn't put on the same dudes again also a draw a draw there's no 3d for lester there to sort of secure the europeans but no i think they get the other thing to get europe so yeah it's just it's just it's it's funny how the season's over but it's still very easy it's weird it's uh it's funny to be round fifth no medals for people it's just like you're always looking over your shoulder and then you know what i don't know lawyers i don't want to dead thank god we're in europa league because uh they put into the top common third um like from nowhere man this we're still we're still doing worse then like under moist yeah we finished seventh at wonder moise i think with points no yeah but points is irrelevant because like no one ever goes we're doing worse we won the league but we got less points yeah yeah but maybe that would touch you you can use stats in your own way like you know yeah yeah you can manipulate stats to make your points at any stage yeah uh you know they're obviously playing tonight uh quick prediction on that i think you know i win two now just if they keep danny english shut they'll uh well no they're playing i'll take it back i think you know they'll win 4-1 it's actually an old trafford so they don't have to travel well i found them more in old trafford i'm going three now you know okay uh russia we're obviously going to look at the relegation battle here as well because uh from 16th down to 20th it it's it's still looking like it's going down i think brighton i'm 15 for 36 points i think they'll stay up uh but norwich are on 21 points they're three games to go they're basically gone ross uh village got a win there so they're on 30 points bournemouth around 31 points 134 points and west ham around 34 points yeah the big the biggest thing is the next fixture down there is west ham play watford next uh and if one of those two team wins well that's all she wrote for one whoever wins that game will be safe and west ham are at home antonio's on fire but all four of those teams got wins at the weekend um obviously west ham and watford played first and they put the pressure on them but then bournemouth and villa really answered i think it is a little bit too little too late for bournemouth and villa yeah um especially with the goal difference bournemouth would need a sort of a a four or five goal swing really get the job done villa minus 27 goals like i don't think so the only thing is is with the next fixtures villa actually play everton uh everton aren't looking the best at the moment uh i think europe's out of their reach so at the end of the day villa could get a result there up to 33 points if west ham or watford lose especially if west ham lives because villa played west ham the last game of the season so potential but bournemouth play city next at the etihad which is not really who you want to be playing um with your next game of the season so if i have to if i had to pick anyone uh to be guaranteed relegated say bournemouth and then villa i think they stand a chance but they need to pick up points before the last game of season and they need watford to do them in favor and beat west ham so i'm going bournemouth villa and norwich to get relegated right but the team now which are relegated ah they might come back man you know man city and be like no we drew like a member of our like what but uh if the thing is right you're if you're jack creators right now right you keep aston villa are you sort of like oh now i have to stay here next year because they're all going to be building me or are you if you're really getting beat would you be like right grand now i can leave without people giving you well i think he can leave either way uh if he stays up he's the team that are looking for him are going to be better than aston villa it's hard to be leads come up and then look for jack realistic it's going to be a spurs or an arsenal or i'm talking about teams you're actually going to you know open up the checkbook and get them uh it's going to be one of their sort of thing or maybe a man united or maybe a man city who knows um but if they go down maybe someone like your crystal palace or newcastle said hampton might take a point on them see if they can get them for 35 40 minutes newcastle it's not like that's that seems like that could be a show i'm sure everyone in the league is going to try and well like wouldn't newcastle look over you're around maximilian on the left and then greed is sort of in the number 10 role in behind human that could that would work for them if they play a sort of a anointed uh formation with the two long long staffs playing center mid that's the thing the standard of the league i know this season it hasn't did like uh in my opinion i don't think the league is as good as it has been in previous years but now definitely i think the points totals are much obviously bar liverpool are much lower this year than they were the previous years yeah but the squads are better true definitely yeah oh i definitely agree but like if you look uh last year third fourth fifth we're all in around the 70 point mark you know what i mean as opposed to and then first or second were you know virgin on 100 points but this year like people around the 50s and the 60s so the the points out are definitely lower than they were from the previous year yeah so are we both thinking about me villa are going to join nurse down the championship next year i think so and i you know i wouldn't be too promising on either those teams to come back up or any either of the three teams come back up if any teams come back up i'd almost say no only because i feel like the squad won't be as raided and then also i feel like they're playing nice enough football that they could actually win the championship yeah is he asking did that thing that fulham did two years ago but they tried to buy a whole new squad yeah and then they just didn't have time to jab it yeah and the bomb is just sort of dave's there's a lot of older players one thing i would like to bring up basma where just from the weekend's fixtures uh just like the unique goal scorers that we got christian ben teca got back on the score sheet dominic salanki got on the score sheet dave mcgoldrick scored his first goal of the premier league this year and the second and the second uh who else someone else got in the score she thought i was like no way can you think of anyone else who's gotten scorchy slanky oh and trezzagay for austin village courty i was like ah david trezengai's nephew finally scored he's back he's back but uh there was some very strange scores uh in the premier league well once that we weren't used to okay okay ranked them in order right mcgoldrick bent heck and slanky forget he was better or on who was most likely to score another goal in the league i don't know actually in fact i actually the goldrick actually does a decent job for his team i feel like they don't rely on him for gold and so i put him one i'll probably put benteke too because he actually can't score a goal eventually but salanki i think played way too many minutes for the five score and a goal so like he's lost and if he'll he doesn't actually offer anything but he costs like 20 goals yeah he's short he played like 40 games and his first goal was such a fluke as well now it was always aldrich yeah well roy plays roy time for for uh goldrick yeah when you're grasping like that like he hasn't been he hasn't been slated for not scoring goals that's the thing where that's completely happened oh yeah what's called altogether sports i was like he's key to the team yeah but it goes to show if martial's running around he's not scoring goals everyone's like what's he [ __ ] doing well if mcgoldrick's doing that it's like yeah martial looks miserable though so like that's his problem he was mrs brown actually let's go no i think i think the last thing is uh liverpool yeah the their biggest points though i love the crown champions they were held to a draw but burnley they're playing the modi arsenal next they also have to play chelsea i think i think they play brighton on the last name of the season i'm not too sure they're the three games left they could get 102 points can they do a bosmo can they break 100 points in the premier league and they need 101 to beat the all-time record i don't think they will just because they drew over the weekend and what it gave certain players games to get their medals although i think everyone gets the medal now i'm not 200 sure but we haven't won it in so long i wouldn't know also if if they do win their last three games they'll also break man city's record for 32 wins in a premier league season they've probably been unstoppable this year and you know what i think last year they went to the final game of the season and they had to win they just kept that flow of winning boom boom boom boom boom and kept going the head was still down they were still on the train while man city went off the track to celebrate having a bit of a dom perignon or whatever you want to call or cans of dutch whatever you want to whatever you drink uh therefore we're like right we can't celebrate until we get this [ __ ] done i know when the champions league but then it was a summer but um now that they've won their sort of setting up camp and singing a bit of kumbayas and having a bit of a dance with klopp so and that's what is it um silk sheets yes it's hard to wake up when you're still sleeping so cheat also liverpool like they had to growing down a lot more results this year like if you look at liverpool's gold difference they have actually have a less gold difference in man city and their 20 odd points held them but they were winning a lot more games by like one or two goals as opposed to when man city won the league last year in the year before like their goal difference was like plus 70 goals at the end of the season i mean like they were they were able to take their foot off the gas after 60 minutes quite a lot man city yeah the liberal's biggest test is going to be next year like yeah there's going to be more teams and now let's see how chelsea go if you know how to stay like this that's going to be tough for them as well man city if they are going to add to the squad as well the thing is i can't hear i haven't heard anything about liverpool showing anyone new so who really fits in also they're going to struggle to get someone who's willing to go there because they can't be guaranteed playing time yeah what the thing is when they're people put out the team everyone knows exactly what their job is so even when they make a slope that person knows exactly what they're meant to be doing i still feel like you know i need to sort that out man city basically have that sorted out but they have a lot of players who are not as hungry as liverpool players i think players they do yeah i think there's a lot of people in that man city squad who like worn toilets without being the focal point i mean like john stones has like so many premier league medals and like he wasn't the center half if that makes sense riyad mahrez won like premier league by making like cameos for the last half an hour all season you know i mean yeah i can't wait for next season it's gonna be way more interesting everyone's gonna start off with a clean slate i feel like everyone's going to deal with the culvert there but uh it's going to be good it's going to be good i think i'm just looking forward to a higher standard of football and i'm sure liverpool want to have a battle as well to like i know because at the time they did battle around the last league and this season they almost had a clean slate straight at it so next year it should be interesting for everyone absolutely yeah um yeah i think that sort of wraps everything up uh baz thinks atlanta are gonna win the premier league things are champs league uh he thinks um it was istanbul are going to win the europa league and he thinks naruto is still going to stay up in the premier league this year buzz some great predictions early this this time around well they call me mystic more but uh yeah russ uh we said earlier that we'll we'll do like a quick uh ethical final preview on for thursday or friday we'll have it out later out in the week our mma show aka combat show
