Will:

I could probably run there. I imagine so. I'm about to run

Jerrell:

Christian doesn't know what it's like to be miles from a post office.

Will:

I think Christian just doesn't usually go to the post office, maybe.

Christian:

Yeah, no.

Jerrell:

All right. Match day 10. Let's run through it.

Will:

Go ahead. Not it. Nosgos.

Jerrell:

Oh shit. Fuck. Y'all can't see me anyways.

Jerrell:

I was like, I got my hands full. Just like shit. Ah yeah. There you go.

Will:

up.

Jerrell:

Phone and mic. Yeah, all right, arsenal falls in newcastle 1 0 in the early stages of the match newcastle scores arsenal can't recover They're really sad southampton Wins over everton first one of the season liverpool beats brighton 2 1 nottingham forest Just destroys west ham 3 0 that weakie hammer defense just lets three goals go by

Will:

Two are on a

Jerrell:

lester city they draw You The cherries beat the Goliaths of man city 2 1 very surprising go cherries Wolves crystal palace end up drawing tottenham Ashton villa tottenham wins 4 1 because for some reason we can't fucking figure out tottenham for some reason

Will:

let

Jerrell:

Manchester united and chelsea get the draw after ten hall gets sacked and fulham beats brentford 2 1.

Will:

Woo! Totally everything by the books. Everything by the books this season, right?

Jerrell:

Yeah

Christian:

predicted, just like everyone predicted this week to go, it's exactly how it went.

Jerrell:

Yeah, what a fucking like how many draws happen I put them all in the wrong spot Just to add four draws picks.

Will:

Four draws is insane, actually.

Jerrell:

Getting one right in the pickums is insane. So

Will:

Yeah, the three for one is what is the

Jerrell:

it definitely is us.

Will:

Because early on, on Pickens, we were just like, oh yeah, look at us getting nine, eight, six. I was waiting for this week. was born. I was

Jerrell:

this was the week.

Will:

the lackluster pick them. So By

Jerrell:

So how do we,

Will:

we should really discuss this tiebreaker at some point because we're getting real tired of this shit. So by

Jerrell:

so technically I'm going first, right? That's crazy.

Will:

the tiebreaker now but yeah, i'm gonna start putting like score on one of them because This is getting ridiculous. I feel like i'm always going last on tiebreaker And I matter too. So yeah, we're gonna do durell then we'll do christian and then we'll do me best for last but

Christian:

tiebreaker based on who submitted their picks first.

Jerrell:

Oh, based on time. Okay.

Will:

me.

Christian:

It's not always you.

Will:

90

Jerrell:

I got there first one time.

Will:

Okay, go ahead.

Jerrell:

Yeah, so my winner of the week is the cherries they're on a hot streak right now and they even took down man city So shout out to them. They they beat arsenal. They beat man city. I think they drew before those two teams No, so they beat arsenal they drew and then they beat man city But anyway, shout out to them because they're sitting 10th on the table not a team that we thought would Make a lot of noise, maybe pick off a couple wins, but two big wins in three weeks is huge for them. So

Will:

Mickey

Jerrell:

Bournemouth is my winner. What's that?

Will:

I said nothing Mickey about those wins. They beat us. I was like, Oh, that's Mickey as fuck. And then they doubled down and beat Man City, gave them the first house. I was like, nothing Mickey about that. Actually. Shout out to the cherries. Go ahead. Christian.

Christian:

I'm gonna stick with a similar team that no one predicted they would be

Will:

Fuck. Fuck.

Christian:

Yeah. Fucking the freaky forest slash tricky tree slash. Just insert that meme of hot ones. It was like, who would have thought not us,

Will:

Paul Rudd. Rude. Yeah. Rudd. Sorry.

Christian:

Like they're sitting

Jerrell:

That's rude.

Christian:

Shout out to yeah. Shout out to the forest, man. They're in third place. They're in contention. They're there's still a lot of season left, but yeah, to be non forest. who'd have thought, who'd have thought

Will:

I feel

Jerrell:

Huh? Nottingham for his beat. Other way around. Beat West Ham.

Will:

Yeah.

Christian:

What's up? Yeah,

Will:

Yeah.

Jerrell:

I got you. Yeah, I got you.

Will:

Ham. Yeah, they really I feel like

Jerrell:

West Ham should have brought axes instead of hammers.

Will:

Okay what

Jerrell:

Yeah.

Christian:

I saw a post earlier that it hurt it was just like one of these teams doesn't belong and it was the top four teams and every team except Arsenal had a Champions League trophy.

Will:

Yeah coming soon. I think I saw my favorite thing I saw was it was like the rush hour one clip where it's like they're in traffic and the two drivers in the front Are liverpool and man city It's the little girl in the back singing just like Mariah Carey. So yeah. Yeah. I feel like they really started surging too when we were like freaky forest, tricky trees, and we just started giggling like the grown

Jerrell:

Put that energy into the universe.

Will:

like we literally

Jerrell:

ooh,

Will:

yeah, no.

Christian:

all everywhere

Will:

Oh

Jerrell:

mighty trees. But

Will:

Yeah, christian you jumped on my freaky forest shout, but i'm gonna go ahead and give a shout out to Oh when the saints Come marching in i'm gonna give it to the southampton saints because we spent a lot of the year Shitting on them and being like wow, they can't win and I think out of all the teams that were like Kind of bottom of the table. know I personally said it's just I don't see where the joy comes from. Cause they blew a lot of like multi goal leads. My winner of the week is going to be the saints winning their first game of the season at a barn strong with the 85, a fifth minute winner over Everton, who was surging ending their unbeaten streak. So my winner is South Hampton saints. Shout out Jamie Hader.

Jerrell:

it'd be too easy to make my loser arsenal. I don't want to do that because we're going to go into,

Will:

Yeah.

Jerrell:

yeah, going to that later, despite the win, my loser is going to be taught in them because I just want them to put it together. Man, I just want them to put it together.

Will:

Piggybacking off of a me and Gerald decide your loser for last week was sign. I'm Christian. So yeah, ton of losers and back to back weeks. Yeah, we were stuck. I don't know

Jerrell:

I

Will:

I don't know. I'm sure Christian would probably say like ton of shit or something like that. So we're going to land there. So cool.

Jerrell:

great result for them, but it's just like They just I don't know. I don't know

Will:

consistency in

Jerrell:

eat your wheaties every week and maybe you'll win every game I don't know what's going on here, but

Will:

Yeah.

Jerrell:

lose next week who they play next week the tractor boy. They'll probably lose

Will:

shit. The try. Oh man.

Christian:

it

Will:

It's someone's winning by three goals. Yeah. It's not going to be close. Tractor boys. Probably going to pick up a red though. So Christian, who's your loser this week?

Christian:

Speaking of the tractor boys are my losers of the week because Jesus fuck hold on to a goddamn lead

Will:

It's all these reds.

Christian:

They yeah, they're two weeks or two weeks in a row with a red card, right? I think they had one last week against Brentford It's they were winning up until the 77th minute and then they let go of a goal You they let go through it's the fifth time this season. They couldn't hold on to a lead. If switch it's annoying because if switch has moments where they look really good, but they just can't hold on to a lead. And I want the tractor boys to say, just cause I'm it's fun saying tractor boys.

Will:

I guess you could say

Jerrell:

True

Will:

switching off week to week. Alright

Jerrell:

there you go

Will:

with y'all. I'ma fuck with y'all.

Jerrell:

don't have Ed Sheeran jokes. We just have if switch puns

Will:

and we, I'm running the same ones back to back, so my loser of the week is going to be me

Jerrell:

comedy comes in threes

Will:

Yeah, hold up, sorry, I was trying to actually double check Ipswitch's results, but I ended up on an NHL tab, so I'll come back to that later. My loser of the week is going to be fucking Aston Villa. Because they're hitting their slide. They're hitting their slide now. They've had some negative results in Champions League. I did not have them gain their ASP 4 1 this week. So my loser for the week is going to be Aston Villa. Getting wrecked by Tanhim. I probably had Villa myself. I think they were a little unlucky with like their goal differential. But I didn't want to say West Ham again because I think I'm still upset that I let them catfish me. Even though Villa definitely looked way better in their matchup. But yeah. No, yeah, it's West Ham, actually, because West Ham, I don't know if you guys saw any of that game, looked like shit. Shit XG 2. 2 to 1. no Mohamed Kudus, who's serving an F. A. ban currently, but I just want you guys to just do something because I expected you to do more and I think I had them I was like, oh, maybe they can jump from mid table. Maybe they can throw in like six, seven and they've just been so fucking geeks. It's hurting my soul. So yeah, losers of the week and in order is me for that pun. Aston Villa and standing 10 toes down on anything. And then really landing on West End. So yeah, there we go.

Jerrell:

Nice

Christian:

I want to know what halftime speech they gave to the Spurs

Will:

Hey,

Christian:

crazy. They were down one, zero a half, and then they were just said, Here's my dick and it scored four goals off of a brace off Salonka

Will:

here's my dick. was a half time. was a half time talk and they're like, oh no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Morgan Rogers. At first I Brennan Johnson, who every time I see his name, I think of Christian for that one week. You shouted him out and the following weeks, but yeah. I have no idea. I think they're just like one play this week.

Christian:

Weird.

Will:

we do it? Yeah.

Christian:

the Spurs though. They've been, they're just used to playing from behind at home pause. But yeah, out of 12 or 14 games they've had at home in 2024, 12 of them, they gave up the opening goal.

Will:

it's a ballsy strategy, but

Jerrell:

Never tell them the odds

Christian:

strategy.

Will:

I personally prefer to score my goals first, but let the other team get complacent. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see how that works out for them. Cotton. Yeah. So yeah. Time to him. They're sitting in seventh place, two points back Chelsea arsenal Villa.

Jerrell:

Distance terrifying.

Will:

saying there's a chance. Yeah,

Jerrell:

Yeah, never tell them the odds

Will:

Pretty much. Or actually don't, really don't because if they feel like they have a good chance they're going to lay a fucking stinker apparently.

Christian:

Yeah.

Will:

how it goes. You, outside that do we want to go straight into interesting games this week or do we want to do UCL review as well at the same time? I guess interesting games of the week would make more sense.

Jerrell:

Yeah, whatever interested you I wasn't able to watch due to

Will:

we're going to go ahead and just cry some Arsenal's tears real quick. Are we cool with that?

Jerrell:

Yeah, go for it.

Will:

Fucking toothless. Think I didn't think it

Christian:

nice. That ESAC play was pretty solid.

Will:

fucking, I almost had St. James park as my winner because now I was just like, surely they can't fuck on us again. And just, I think this is like the least convincing we've looked in attack this season. They obviously, Arsenal, they lost also 1 0 to Inter and UCL yesterday. Yep, we're recording on Thursday. So they lost yesterday in a game I thought, despite not scoring, they had a good result. They played really well, but yeah, we're going through that goal drought we did like last year. And I guess it goes back to just what would this team look like with Lika for sure 9 right now? Obviously, no Odegaard. Hopefully, he comes back in as Christian, and we've all alluded to throughout the seasons, a lot of injuries. But God, I'm like we're going into Chelsea now this weekend last game before international break and teams are gonna keep dropping points I think like I think it's just this is the least convincing stretch we've had of the season after starting Was it last month coming out of international break? I was it felt pretty good considering how we got through our fixture So now we're sitting fifth Point back and forth something like that. In seven back of liverpool, so yeah You

Christian:

Yeah I wasn't able to watch the game. I just watched a few highlights. Yeah, it's tough. Like we're pretty solid with our, with a usually no for our defense, but it's tough. Arsenal is averaging 7. 4 shots on goal in away matches, which is the second fewest behind the Bees at 7. 5. Don't know. It's tough. We were riding on a high from last year and It's early to call it, but if we keep playing like this, I don't think we're going to really, we'll just be fighting for the top four at that point.

Will:

Yeah it's a long season. 28 more games to go. But yeah, just, it's just tough stretch tough early. Liverpool, obviously, they've only dropped the two points. I think our goal difference where we're sitting at 611 goals given up 17 allowed. It's just like more of that leash where you can have some mistakes you can have. Losing like that area where it's like now Chelsea this sunday is turning into more of a must win because you don't want to be 10 points back 11 games in and you don't want to drop points and chelsea's very much on an ascendancy. So exciting game I think we're on the road for that as well before international break. So we'll see what it looks like. But god, I can't wait for odegaard to come back I think it just really also shows just like the need for them to find someone else who can like Unlock teams when you're facing like a low line a low block I'm looking for more creativity and not just depending on like soccer on the wing or something like that in lieu of that right now, so we'll see the answer game was super frustrating because I thought they played I think they have 13 corners couldn't just couldn't score. So just one of those so we'll see

Jerrell:

I'm getting a weird feedback from one of the mics.

Will:

it might be christian.

Christian:

think

Will:

because I muted myself.

Christian:

how

Will:

Yeah.

Jerrell:

Okay.

Will:

Yeah

Christian:

I think it was the mic was rubbing against my beard.

Jerrell:

Ah.

Will:

And So

Christian:

Were you guys able to watch? I guess I'll stick with premier league. Any other games you guys want to go over the premier league? Any amazing goals? Shout out to tractor boys. I don't know if you guys were able to see the goal by leaf Davis. It was a fucking beautiful volley. It was his hundredth Ipswich appearance. And he just bangs in a crazy volley. Was pretty nasty. Yeah any other games anybody wants to go over?

Will:

I did want to shout out Fulham, who was losing against Brentford for majority of that game and Harry Wilson in the 92nd, 97th minute was able to score goals on that Monday fixture, Monday night fixture and get the win at Craven's Cottage. Fun there. Wolves Palace, if you only watch like 20 minutes of football, watch the 20 minutes between them. Palace scores first, Wolves get two goals in the 67th and 72nd to respond. And then at the 77th, Mark Gahee, he scores an equalizer because fuck Wolves. Wolves still haven't won a game either. Super entertaining game for two teams lower on the table, I thought. Yeah.

Christian:

goals, right?

Jerrell:

If you can see it at 27.

Will:

They've

Jerrell:

Yeah.

Christian:

second is, my track to boys at 19 or something like that. But

Jerrell:

It's at 21.

Christian:

Ah, but yeah, it's what was it? The wolves, I think they, they have, they've only gotten one game this season without conceding two or more goals. So I just gotta, freshen up their defense. They're just fucking holes everywhere.

Jerrell:

But they've gotten two points in the past two games, so things are looking up.

Will:

what I was gonna say is like results have looking a little bit more positive and so we'll see they also have like toughest dart Schedule of the season or something like that Like I think their first eight games was like toughest strength of schedule So wolves we're rooting for you and we're but not too much apparently, so we'll see how that goes

Jerrell:

Cue Miley Cyrus the climb. About to claw their way out of relegation.

Will:

that how that one goes? I'm not. Oh,

Jerrell:

I don't know. I don't know.

Will:

I was like, I

Jerrell:

Yeah. Yeah.

Christian:

That's exactly how that Miley Cyrus

Jerrell:

Yep. Best of

Will:

resemblance like over the phone, yeah. All right. So

Jerrell:

worlds.

Will:

guys, any also Liverpool, Brighton, shout out Mo Salah, just fucking someone's feelings again and just getting like a wake night late, late, decisive goal. Both of their goals, 70 and 70 second minute upsetting coming back on Brighton. So was neat for them,

Christian:

yeah.

Will:

not on top.

Christian:

They played twice in four days. Liverpool and Brighton. Yeah,

Will:

Are Carabao?

Christian:

and Liverpool won 3 2

Jerrell:

Oh, they played each other twice in four days.

Christian:

in four

Jerrell:

Interesting.

Christian:

I think there was between the two starting 11s. There was 18 changes between the first game and the second game. I think Gakpo was one of the main ones that kept his position there.

Will:

That worked out for them.

Christian:

has been playing pretty solid for Liverpool too.

Will:

Scored the first, yeah. Yeah. Fuck em. Fuck em, Drell. Any games you want to go over?

Jerrell:

I wasn't able to watch any Premier League this weekend, so I can only see the results and be sad about my pickums.

Will:

Alright, guys. Sick. We also had Champions League this week. Were you guys able to catch any of that or any thoughts on anything? Christian, go ahead.

Christian:

I never thought I'd say this, but it's too much soccer. The,

Jerrell:

Liar.

Christian:

much soccer.

Will:

think I've heard you say that several times on this spot.

Christian:

It's, oh man, it's so tiring. So I want to watch the champions league, but what hurts is the fact that they're all at the same fucking time while I'm working. And it's just every time they've come on is when I've gotten like super busy at work. So I haven't had a chance to actually sit down. All I know is that what the fuck is going on with it hurts. Mbappe is tired of playing a nine. He doesn't want to play a nine and I'm just like, fuck what's going on with Madrid? I think got some injuries throughout there as well, but, ah, this

Will:

think.

Jerrell:

is temporary.

Will:

I think TT on me, he spoke about it too, where like Jude Bellingham's making a lot of the stretching runs and whatnot. So I think it's just as a nine, he needs to do more at his position. Just like the basic runs, like creating space and whatnot, obviously. We alluded to a little bit with Tony Cross not being there to help things try to get Lenny Yoro over off season that didn't work out. I think Ancelotti wanted to bring someone in because Alaba it's looking like he's having a tough time still with his knee His return keeps pressuring back, but you guys are pretty much just running and millet out of the back essentially and then I think You know Mbappe, of course you get a chance to bring in the world talent in but he's playing out of position a little bit And it's just weird kind of wonky. So it's a tough problem for Ancelotti. Also, anytime you lose a Classico, obviously, someone, I think Barcelona's season turned last year when we lost that first Classico because we started on really well. Scrinny kind of increases more. They just haven't hit their stride. They had their game over this, over the week on postponed against Valencia. I hope everyone in Valencia is doing okay with the flooding that occurred out there. but you can tell it's just it's getting to a point now where it's just alright, we're a couple months into the season, haven't gelled yet. It's just it's getting to a point now where it's just alright, we're a couple months into the season, haven't gelled yet. So now the scrutiny is gonna come where it's just is it Ancelotti? Is it Balance? Is it Vinny? Is it Mbappé? Mbappé is gonna be the easiest one because he's coming into a dressing room that won UCL. So First class problems. We'll see how it works out. Think it hurts too just that since he's so big in the team, him and Vinny and whatnot, Rodrigo does a lot of the work as far as like runs and like defensive pickup and just pressing. That you need and also just like ideally if a guy's not making the runs that you need him to do or if He's not playing within your system The way you do you bring in endrick you bring in articula to see if he can solve things and When you have a player that big it Turns into a thing where it's just is the coach being enabled to make those decisions and If he does bench him then mbappe now, it's oh look now We're doing well without mbappe and that creates more of a thing. So I think they'll play through it I think they'll be okay end of the day. But You yeah, they just have to hit the ground running. So here it's the screen,

Christian:

Yeah. It's looking tough for the rest of the season. It's going to be a lot of just. It's going to be okay as far as we're going to win games, but are we going to bring home silverware this season? It's something that's a little concerning.

Jerrell:

can take a year off. It's all right. Don't worry about it.

Will:

Same time

Jerrell:

We'll

Will:

think

Jerrell:

there for you next year. Caledonian

Will:

I said oh I was just like, oh, that's crazy. Okay sick what the russell wilson experience is going really well and chris has a chilean team as well We'll post that as the image, for the thumbnail, on this episode, but same time

Jerrell:

Braves are top of the table.

Christian:

Oof.

Will:

think also, that'd be hilarious, but at the same time, I think it's just also just since Barcelona is hitting the ground running, it looks worse than it is. You guys are down nine point, but I think from where you guys started last season, you guys are

Jerrell:

Second on the table.

Will:

vein. International break, you guys are going to be running into fixtures of Almer, was it? Did I miss that? Oh, I got it. Sorry. The gun is Liverpool, which is going to be a big UCL matchup and get that fit. I think so. I think it'll be okay. The result was a shocker though. Just

Christian:

Osasuna, Leganes, Getafe, and then you want to sprinkle in Liverpool in there.

Will:

Yeah, I mean It's the end of the day. It's just first class problems a little bit. I think something's gonna shake long term I mean if you guys don't win trophies, typically your coach would go but do you think vinny and abape stay together like long term? over there because I have like conspiracy theories with that, but

Christian:

It'd be tough because they both favor the left wing. They're both big personalities. Maybe try Because last year we had a lot of instances where we played 4 4 2 and we had Rodrigo and Finne at the top as two Side by side strikers not like immediate nines, but like closer out from outside the wings I don't know maybe he tries something different just if we want to try to play true nine I think Endrick when he does get subbed on he's done pretty well as a true nine you mentioned before, are you gonna put him in and take out some of, one of the the top three that we have up there on the wings and striker? You can't, who are you going to sub out for Endrick?

Will:

You don't have a nine. Yeah. And Hendrick also, I think it's just expectations who are like, I don't think you want to put too much on him. Early unless what is that ironic to you,

Christian:

I'm just saying, bro, it just sounds like you're talking from experience.

Will:

I'm still there with it, but I'm enjoying the run. I'm not going to lie. If you told me in November, I'd feel more optimistic about Barcelona than Arsenal. I think you're smoking crack. If you told me like three months ago, but Hey, I'll take it. Outside of that Arsenal, as I touched on into. Answer 101 off I'm gonna fuck up his name. Penn in the 45th plus third minute. Barcelona took care of Red Star Belgrade 5 2. Velo, as I alluded to, they've hit a little bit of a slide. They lost to Club Rouge in a surprising result as they were undefeated prior. Atletico you guys didn't get to see it. I did watch Atletico literally hit a fucking hit and run and steal that game from PSG late. Besides that breast nice run. They went again. They're second on the table right behind liverpool Byron is able to get a win. They're one and oh so right now, champions league is champions league. I think like the bits and pieces I could through like their cover like paramount's coverage it felt like the odds were getting you know, a little bit heavier there's some questions but we're only halfway through so i'm excited to see how that goes going forward. You Fun stuff and also nice to see barcelona win. So arsenal, let's go. Let's do it. So

Jerrell:

Very nice.

Will:

Very

Jerrell:

We might have to skip team origins and trivia this week. Do we want to go into the match day 11 preview?

Will:

Yeah,

Jerrell:

right,

Will:

get it. So

Jerrell:

Cool

Will:

we have Brentford versus Burnmouth looking to win again. Crystal

Jerrell:

no

Will:

against Fulham. West Ham, please come through playing Everton. There's no way they fucked this up, right? Edson Alvarez stay on the pitch. Wolves versus Saints in a bottom of the table clash. Seagulls versus the citizens. Manchester City drop again. Please RSO needs it. Liverpool versus Aston Villa. And what's probably like one of the fixtures of the week outside of one we're getting to. Man U against Leicester. Freaky Forest playing the Magpies Spurs versus the Ipswich Tractor Boys, in which the Tractor Boys, it's time. It's time for them to do it. And then, final match of the week, we have the Blues versus the Gunners out at Stanford Bridge, guys. What games are we looking forward to this week?

Jerrell:

Give me the top 10 matchups. Give me, yeah,

Christian:

Give

Jerrell:

me Man City. Yeah. Man City versus Brighton.

Will:

That's that shit that gets me going. That's the shit that gets me out of bed every

Jerrell:

Woo.

Will:

I

Jerrell:

Yeah.

Will:

I

Jerrell:

and Chelsea Arsenal. We'll get into the nitty gritty, like with these teams are going to start to knock each other down, hopefully.

Will:

What do you think it's gonna be?

Christian:

bro.

Will:

Can they keep it going? Can they keep it going? Will they bust Sap?

Jerrell:

top 10, right? They got back in the top 10.

Will:

were sitting

Jerrell:

They're at 11.

Will:

I'm a fucking liar! Or so. Oh no. Chelsea Arsenal, what do you guys think is going to be decisive in that one? I think Cole Palmer is right now looking questionable for that game.

Jerrell:

Red cards. Red cards will be decisive in that one.

Christian:

I just want to win.

Jerrell:

I just want to win. Yeah, Cole Palmer, just Cole Palmer. If he starts Cole Palmer ing, then it's over, but got to find a way to keep him in check. He, I feel like he really does open up Chelsea to a lot of potential, a lot of scoring opportunities. I think anybody would say that. So if we can find a way or something, find a way to shut him down, it might be an easier. Match up, but I'm just concerned for Arsenal taking two L's this past week and it's definitely It's not a get right game because Chelsea does sit fourth, but it's definitely a game. You can't afford to lose

Will:

Yeah? Yeah, Christian, thoughts?

Christian:

I think they just need a little bit more time to work together, get a little bit more cohesion, but tough. I'm gonna always go for Arsenal. Will the pick'ems show it? Who knows? But,

Jerrell:

We have a detractor

Christian:

Dun, nah nah. I think by default we just always have to pick Arsenal.

Will:

I think Arsenal.

Christian:

pod.

Will:

I mean you will get kicked off the pod, but you're definitely gonna be remembered as the first one To bend or waver. Yeah, I mean I think arsenal for the most part It's just a little mistakes. They're killing them right currently Yeah, so for the most part, I think in there with our backline I think there's enough there to control. It's just going to be more I think the game should be more open considering how chelsea's been playing They've been more prolific scoring than defensively. So there will be moments It's just going to turn into more just like who unlocks it You and can you maintain that consistency you showed early on to the season when it was just teams were not Getting into the game not scoring too much. I lost two two straight games 1 0 results tight margins, but yeah, that's My take on it. I think our son just needs to stay the course and avoid the silly mistakes that i've been holding the back so

Christian:

Silly Goose.

Jerrell:

Another game That will define the hammer season taking on Everton. They did drop last week to

Christian:

The

Jerrell:

South Hampton, which is unexpected to be honest

Christian:

were on a five game win streak.

Will:

I'm beaten.

Jerrell:

Everton unbeaten.

Will:

Yeah.

Jerrell:

Yeah

Will:

Yeah

Christian:

My bad.

Jerrell:

But that was you know, that was due to match up to who and who they were playing. I think west ham I know and even still that was a team. They're supposed to beat

Will:

Everybody

Jerrell:

but west ham another struggling team It's just another one to get everton Moving up the table. We'll see. Yeah I'm more confident in Everton than I am West Ham though.

Will:

Catch me putting on my clown makeup again this week and choosing West Ham at home. Cause there's no way they let me down again, right? No Mohamed Kudus? Not much to do. Rooting

Jerrell:

Huh.

Will:

so we'll see how it goes. Outside of that, I'm also praying that Crystal Palace can find another unlikely result against Man City. Because fuck it, why not? Man City is finally showing a little bit of a wobble. They lost, also did they lose their EPL game? I thought they did. I could be wrong. Fat check me at thefootballfellows at gmail dot com.

Jerrell:

Crystal Palace is playing Fulham. Dolphinarium.

Will:

kidding. I said Seagulls and I saw what I wanted. I got confused with Eagles. Can't wait for that derby. The Dauphinarium. Also rooting for Bryden. Bryden can get a result, right? City's picking up a red. I'm calling it now.

Christian:

Damn, Titan points. Yeah, we need to ask some villa to beat Liverpool. We need Liverpool to start dropping some games they're taking a comfy lead.

Jerrell:

Look, they're looking cozy up there.

Will:

You gotta play our game. Start getting these results in. It'll be alright. It'll be alright. So next week, we're gonna go over Match Day 11 results. And then we're

Jerrell:

Hey,

Will:

our international break, our fabled international break, where we take a week off. Besides that, guys, do you guys have any last thoughts for the episode? I know you guys have to run.

Jerrell:

Yeah, we do. No last thoughts. I can't wait to go 10 for 10 on Pick'ems this week, calling it now. And then I'll take a week off so everyone else can catch up. Ha!

Will:
