Jerrell: 0:01

Season's cooked boys season is cooked.

Christian: 0:03

we're.

Will: 0:04

Football is life

Jerrell: 0:06

over.

Will: 0:06

at, at at low. Low. Expectations won't kill you. Football is being played. A lot of meaningful games being played right.

Jerrell: 0:15

Episode 30 Liverpool are flying high arsenal fading fast. We have UCL primer. It is

Will: 0:23

faded.

Jerrell: 0:24

February 27th, 2005. I'm Jarrell,

Will: 0:27

25.

Jerrell: 0:28

and Will

Will: 0:28

What's up?

Jerrell: 0:30

and do you guys have shout outs? I know we, we only here last week, but it feels like it's been a long seven days.

Will: 0:37

Shout out to my,

Christian: 0:38

seven days. Yeah.

Will: 0:39

shout out to my dreams and expectations being shattered. Not once but twice. They double tap my, my feelings this week.

Jerrell: 0:45

Oh, no.

Christian: 0:47

I,

Jerrell: 0:47

how about you, Christian?

Christian: 0:48

I'll give a shout out. I, I need you guys to let me know how the mic is sounding. The puppy chewed my cord for my old headphones. Which caused which unexpected upgrade. Over here we're rocking the wireless now, so if there's any of my concerns, just let me know.

Will: 1:04

We're pro,

Christian: 1:04

chat.

Will: 1:05

we're professionals. We're doing this during the recording.

Jerrell: 1:09

Now everything's good. We got a couple socialists to plug to. We do this every week. We are on Instagram and Twitter slash x for the degenerate. You wanna call it X? We are the football fellows on both, and we got a. Couple, couple matches to break. To break into. I don't know who wants to take it away, but go for it.

Christian: 1:29

All right. Nose. I was keeping the, the two month old here occupied.

Will: 1:34

Running, running, interference the way I planned it.

Christian: 1:37

That's crazy. All right, let's see what we got. Match Day 20 sa, we got Life Service. Brentford Brentford, beat that ass. Four zero. Everton tied against Manu. We got the wolves beating the cherries. I don't even wanna talk. Arsenal loss against West Ham. And we have Crystal Palace speeding. Fulham Tractor Boys man. Come on. Tractors. Tractor Boys. Lost four. One to the Spurs. Brighton destroyed the Saints four zero Aston Villa and probably my favorite game of that week. Beat two one against Chelsea. not the Tricky Trees. Newcastle beat the Tricky Trees. Four, three

Will: 2:16

They got freaked on.

Christian: 2:17

Yeah, I forgot. Let's see Liverpool Beat Man City two Zero. that's it for Match Day 20 C.

Will: 2:24

But there was more Christian, there was more,

Jerrell: 2:27

do you wanna

Will: 2:28

ah, damn,

Christian: 2:29

There it

Will: 2:30

so match day 27. Because more games, they said, I want more games, I want more life. We had bride and bird myth was played. It was a two one result. Villa followed a crystal Palace won four and probably I think my most shocking game of the match days. Outside of Arsenal Lens, wolves versus Fullham. Ended one. Two in favor of Fullham Chelsea Southampton. Chelsea Guler, bounce back, get Right Game, they win. Four oh Brentford ends in a tie. One one tying ham Man City ends in oh one. It was a very entertaining game to watch as a usual. Man, United eke out head of Ipswich despite Jaden Vine's brace and a red in the first half for Manchester United Freaky Forest and Arsenal ends in a zero zero draw. Liverpool Newcastle ends one zero Liverpool driver's seat for the league. And honestly, most of Europe and West Ham Leer City ends in a two O result for Westham as of an hour ago.

Jerrell: 3:22

The craziest thing for past two matches is Brighton, crystal, palace, Liverpool, and Westham, all with six points. Liverpool expected, but the other three, I'm kind of like, whoa.

Will: 3:32

My Catfishes, they've come home for me. Yeah.

Jerrell: 3:36

Very topsy-turvy arsenal, of course with one point. I'll just go down it though. So the six points. Brighton crystal Palace, Liverpool Westham. Four points for Brentford Man United. Also surprise. Three points for Villa Chelsea Fullham, men City, new Castle Spurs and the Wolves. Two points for Everton, one point for Arsenal Nottingham Forest. Zero points. For the cherries, tractor, boys, foxes, and saints.

Will: 4:01

And each of these, there's one that does not belong. Yeah,

Christian: 4:06

Boy should have been sick. I know, I know.

Jerrell: 4:07

think in the one point kind of Arsenal and Nottingham, like both of those don't belong there, to be honest.

Will: 4:13

now I'm in a self depreciating mood. I was just like, maybe we do belong there right now. Who,

Jerrell: 4:19

Maybe. And, and in today's climate, yes.

Will: 4:21

who could have stopped this? Also, who are you? Who, who was the surprise? Brentford or Manchester United with the four Points for the work? Match Match Week.

Jerrell: 4:28

Ma man, United, to be honest.

Will: 4:31

I was just asking.

Jerrell: 4:32

yeah. B Brentford, they, they have a, they have had a hot streak away taking care of Lester City on the road, four zero. So they extend their unbeaten on the road. I think what the stat was since December 27th, I think is what I've been tracking it unbeaten. And then they get the draw at home against Everton. So trying to. bring the hive home. The hive has been gone for too long and they, they need to get, start getting points at home. but outside of that, I think Man United collecting four points. they did play Ipswich Town, which has been struggling, so you expect that. But Man United is a little bit wonky. And then the draw against Everton, I think. They lose that one late?

Will: 5:12

Manchester United scored two. Goals. 72nd minute, a beautiful free kick from Bru Nan and then Manuel Gar in the 80th salvaging that game in a game that Everton was bossing in the first half, and they were able to e out two goals. Solid result.

Jerrell: 5:25

it.

Will: 5:25

Yeah, Everton also had a bunch of chances against in their second matchup against Brentford. That's why I asked Beto, their striker. He had I think 2 1 0 1 chances against Brentford goalkeeper early. Couldn't get it. And then. Late on, late on Jack O'Brien fullback for for the Toughies was able, able to equalize. But Everson, they're undefeated in seven. Probably should have gotten some more points. A couple tough draws going into it, but also they've reached pretty much a good safety net as far as relegation goes into the season. So it's like a win. But Everson could have, could probably collect the six points versus the two.

Jerrell: 5:58

Yeah, I think everton's like comfortably ahead of the relegation bubble anyways. So yeah, every game does matter and it's, it is important for going forward, but they're just competing for placement at this point. They're not gonna get sixth, they're not gonna fall to 18th. It's just catastrophic, to be honest. So it's unfortunate they, they just have to finish those games. But yeah, it is what it is.

Christian: 6:24

Yeah, with the 11 games left in the season it looks like the relegation is pretty much set here. Wanders have been pretty much

Will: 6:32

Hold up. Wait, hold up. Christian. Is it,

Christian: 6:35

man,

Will: 6:35

it official? Are we off the. Are we off the wagon?

Jerrell: 6:38

Oh no,

Will: 6:39

Oh, no.

Jerrell: 6:39

the tractor.

Will: 6:40

30.

Christian: 6:41

not off the track. Not if I had a, a, a little hays stick right now. I'd have it on me right now. Know, I believed, I believed, but, just like Louistown last season.

Jerrell: 6:53

to the wolves than Arsenal is to Liverpool, so it's possible

Christian: 6:58

true. The, the

Will: 6:59

What's possible? Okay. Yeah.

Christian: 7:01

for sure is cooked. Yeah. Liverpool ran away with

Will: 7:04

R

Christian: 7:05

Liverpool ran away with this season. 11 games left is just gonna be 11 match days of just us thinking what ifs it could have been,

Will: 7:14

Yeah, they, they, I finally found a magic number. They need 21 points for them. Tolin the league. So seven wins out of their next 10. Assuming Arsen doesn't drop anything, which, we'll, I'm sure we'll get into at some point, but. Alright, this is the first time this season where I was just kind of like, I'm must set a magic number. So 88 is the number for Liverpool to get you. Right now it's a conscious season, so fuck, fuck me. I'm gonna play back our earlier episodes where we're just like, oh, arsenal first in the league. Everyone else can go for it. Should've known better.

Christian: 7:43

Fun fact. Arsenal has actually spent zero days this season as number one team.

Jerrell: 7:49

Yes, yes. I,

Will: 7:50

We were, we're leaving it late. We're leaving it late.

Christian: 7:53

Yeah. Gonna go 11, undefeated.

Jerrell: 7:56

was up for a week. That was, I think that was the first week we did the podcast. I was like, congratulations, Brighton, for being top of the table. And who, who was number, who had this number one spot for a day? Nottingham Forests.

Christian: 8:09

I think so, yeah. The trick trees, they had it for one day

Jerrell: 8:13

Wow.

Christian: 8:14

they're still up there. Men sitting at third comfortably. They have a bad five game stretch. I think they've only won one outta the last five, three losses,

Will: 8:22

They were also asked this week. Sorry, I'm just trying to feel something. We draw it against them. That's, that game was fucking trash. We controlled it pretty decently. Arsenal strength, obviously their defense right now, but that was the worst zero, zero game I've ever fucking watched in my life. Oh man. Men.

Christian: 8:41

getting tough to watch Arsenal games, man. I'm just like, I just want a little action. I want a little attack, but nothing, nothing's happening.

Will: 8:47

The most fun I had was watching Ricardo C's journey in the first half where he picked up a quick yellow, almost got a penalty, called on, looked like he was gonna get another red, and then hit a crossbar right before getting SubD for 45 minutes. So he was really on a full journey. The Italian model. Yeah.

Jerrell: 9:03

That was the that was the MLS red card in the the Westham game. Okay. I was like, I know I saw a red card

Will: 9:10

Of course we saw Red. Of course we did. I saw it too, and I, I literally it was a red, it was definitely a gold scoring. They, they, they hit a yellow initially. I was just kind of like,

Jerrell: 9:21

got lucky.

Will: 9:21

I was like looking out the side of my eye, just and then VAR came. I was like, maybe I was just, I didn't have it. I had no, because it was pretty much an open goal because. Ryan was just like, if you guys need a striker, I can come support with you guys. And MS just a bad touch got pushed on. It would never be called, but I'd say that kudos put a, put a arm through his head, might've foul. So only hopefully got reaching for straws. But yeah, just no bite in attack. It was inala. And across looking for something like pretty early on.

Jerrell: 9:51

I

Christian: 9:51

Yeah,

Jerrell: 9:52

no teeth. It's just but, but what, what, what is left? What

Will: 9:55

Structurally still playing? They're controlling games and it's just, there's no one that can like create in tight spaces. And there's, there's just not en not enough. I thought it was weird. I know Sterling didn't have a good game week before, but Declan Rice comes off at half. He doesn't get game time. So you're talking about I think. Art said that you would probably don't expect Martinelli or Saca before April most likely. You still have UCL, you still have leaks. So I get that the cupboard is bare, but at the same time, I think preseason, I said I'm not gonna feel bad for a power 16 for not having depth. At some point, you know the challenges, you know what you're trying to achieve. So it's a little bit. Yeah. But at what point does art decide Hey, I gotta find a different solution than running Marino? I think, I don't know if you, how about you guys, but I, I think we all knew that Marino wasn't gonna be solution at nine just because he is big, right?

Christian: 10:47

I

Will: 10:47

Yeah.

Jerrell: 10:48

That was a flash

Will: 10:49

What did you believe Christian? Go off. Okay.

Christian: 10:52

I'm delusional. I'll take it. I believed that we were gonna, ow. Sorry. Just got bit by a puppy. I believed that we were gonna fucking win it all.

Will: 10:59

Yeah, Westham, you could say it's tough with the red, but watching the nine game fours game, what? I don't know. There, there wasn't ever a moment. There's, it's just a couple like close shots, but it's just like there's not anyone who could put their stamp on the game. They controlled the gis, two clean sheets. Oh one clean sheet. Sorry. But.

Jerrell: 11:17

got cleaned

Will: 11:18

Yeah, pretty much one point out have two games. It's not something you expect for a team that's been, riding momentum. We had a chance to make it, what, five points? Game in hand, but yeah.

Jerrell: 11:28

A 15 on beaten streak ended with the West Ham game, and then now it's a one game, one beaten streak.

Will: 11:33

So we just lost, we just lost five points. Yeah. In the buildup. So at this point, secure top four because it's not, it's not gonna get easier.

Jerrell: 11:42

No, not at all. Crystal Palace had a huge two games taking all six points and they had put on an absolute clinic. I was watching the Villa one and I was just like, wow, where has this Crystal Palace team been? And they're urging up the, urging up the standings. They're 12th on the table now from like a couple months ago, and they're just kinda like 17, just floating, wondering what palace is gonna do. Just huge, huge week for them. Very impressed with, with crystal Palace.

Will: 12:12

Yeah. Crystal Palace.

Christian: 12:13

they were

Will: 12:13

Oh, good.

Christian: 12:14

of the table, and then they've just been taken off. It's, it's, it is been fun seeing the trajectory Crystal Palace has been taken.

Will: 12:20

Yeah, and their win against Fullham on the road was end to end. I think it was like one of those games where Fullham just had one of those games where you want to purge, but at no point did it seem Fullham was gonna get into it at any point. An angle goal. And then Daniel Munoz was able to get a good goal in that game. And then. Taking advantage of a villa team that we've seen taking a wob over the last couple months been really streaky as well as they're dealing with Europe and other comps and whatnot. So them getting six points this week considering earlier in the season, they just couldn't catch a break. I think it's huge for them. I think I also saw someone post on the internet, it's crystal Palace when they have a tie to Clinch 12. In the league and it was like prime rail Madrid or something like in the early odds or whatnot. Got a good laugh at me, but really good weekend. I feel like it's just the team that's been just on a upward trajectory since the early couple months of the season where they couldn't buy a one.

Jerrell: 13:09

You guys wanna hear a statistic that just sounds miserable?

Will: 13:12

Of course, I want to suffer.

Jerrell: 13:14

Southampton and Arsenal, where the only team should not score goals in the two games.

Will: 13:20

Mm.

Christian: 13:20

We just got compared to South Hampton.

Will: 13:22

Hmm,

Christian: 13:23

Oh, that's crazy.

Will: 13:24

Hmm, Hmm.

Jerrell: 13:27

Not good except, Southampton. Southampton Conceded.

Will: 13:30

Eight.

Jerrell: 13:31

four not eight

Will: 13:32

They gave up eight goals.

Jerrell: 13:33

seen that. I've seen that

Will: 13:34

They went four for four. Yeah. Shout and bouncing back too. One was against them, but they got seven owed against Nottingham Forest, I think last week when we talked about it. And they won.

Jerrell: 13:43

Yeah.

Will: 13:43

Two games by a total of seven. So they got, they finished, they finished three weeks even with six points. So good for them.

Jerrell: 13:50

Yeah. And West Ham blowing bubbles, six points as well. So

Will: 13:56

Yeah, I saw,

Jerrell: 13:56

your.

Will: 13:57

I was updating the dock on like my break earlier today. When I was like, I need to do something different. I. I sell tickets cheapest tickets for a Westham game this afternoon, 223 American dollars. I was just kinda that's fucking insane. Yeah. So shout out, shout out to the Londoners heading out to that one, the Hammers, because No, no, I refuse. I don't care. Even, even if I believe in you started the season, I'm not fucking doing that. But yeah, I say I'm greatly, I don't know, I don't that I, I'll do my market research for next week,

Christian: 14:27

you guys wanna take a visit for an Ipswich game?

Jerrell: 14:31

quick trip.

Will: 14:32

Are you back on the wagon? Do we believe

Jerrell: 14:34

it? The tractor, please. How far is it switch from? From Heathrow?

Christian: 14:39

I don't even know.

Will: 14:40

if you have this in info more? I'm gonna go ahead and plug you. Feel free to email us at the footballs@gmail.com because we don't understand geography. Jarrell does, but I don't. Maybe not you.

Jerrell: 14:51

Maybe not I, I think I could get around Amsterdam. I don't know. of

Christian: 14:56

It's, it's a circle. It's a semicircle. Should be pretty easy.

Jerrell: 15:00

Yeah. But then everything starts looking the same.

Christian: 15:03

To the center of the circle,

Jerrell: 15:04

Yeah. Any other matches we wanna talk about? I think we hit on most of them and Newcastle's just floating around the Spurs. Did some things this week.

Will: 15:12

Fuck Newcastle. Nah, fuck them bro. Nah, I'm not, nah, I don't care. I know some weeks I try to be professional, but nah bro, you put up four. On 9:00 AM Forest and then you can't give me shit against Liverpool, even though I think Liverpool has also had a penalty shout in the first half that didn't get called. But also you guys just put up nothing at all, man. Fuck. New Castle. New Castle or Ops bro. Considering we can't beat them and also they lay over for everyone else I knew to come through for New Castle. Might, I might hate them more than Spurs at this point. Yeah.

Christian: 15:44

I think the, my favorite game of the la of the two weeks would be the Aston Village Chelsea Game. I think I was watching it in the background while Will was helping me

Will: 15:52

While I was not packing. Yeah,

Christian: 15:55

Yeah.

Will: 15:55

I was watching it. I, it was a really good game. Anyway Matilda.

Christian: 15:59

Every five seconds. It was just like, oh shit. Oh shit. But yeah, shout out to Asencio. He came off the, did he start? It was Rashford that came off the bench. Asencio got two goals. Rashford got two assist. It sits. It was a really fun game to watch. Shout out to Rashford for pretty much showing that he still got it, even though he was out of favor in Manu.

Will: 16:18

Yeah, Villa at that point, they were a point back of six. So this year it's looking like with coefficients that UCL will be top five teams. In England based off like how they do their coefficients and then a chance for, I think, is it United and is Spur still in Europe? I league, I forgot. They have a chance to qualify if they win.

Jerrell: 16:39

United and Spurs should still be allowed. I think the Europa picks up next week. I'm not.

Will: 16:44

Yeah. Yeah. They'll, they'll be always just like the day after. UCL. So yeah, if, and, and there's a chance for six teams to qualify from the EPL. If one of those teams win Europe, the Euro League, and then top five looks like they're gonna be able to qualify as well. Yeah.

Jerrell: 17:00

Okay. Yeah, just cool, cool, cool, cool. Okay. We also got champions league on the horizon. That's next week. Tues Tuesday, Wednesday,

Will: 17:07

Tuesday, Wednesday. Yeah.

Jerrell: 17:09

Wednesday.

Christian: 17:10

Those games are so fucking stressful'cause it's at 3:00 PM it's fucking busy at work all the time. Around 3:00 PM.

Jerrell: 17:17

all the time, every day.

Will: 17:19

do what I would do at Christian Stress. He's playing with the dog bed, looked like Christian just slammed himself on the bed. I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna work. Yeah, I pretty much for big fixtures, I would turn off all notifications on my phone and. Go straight home and just watch it. Like I didn't experience it, but yeah, good luck with that. But yeah, a lot of good fixtures as Drell pointed out you wanna dive into'em? Drill

Jerrell: 17:45

Yeah, I'll I'll run through it real quick. Okay. So we have Club Bruge, v Ashton, Villa, Dortmund V. Is it Lil?

Will: 17:53

acceptable? Yes.

Jerrell: 17:55

PSVV Arsenal, real Madrid

Will: 17:58

Fuck.

Jerrell: 17:58

Madrid. Ano verse inner by Munich verse, Bayer Lever, lever Cruin Benfica versus Barcelona and PSGV, lever pool. These are actually all really good matches. I actually kinda wanna watch Enter, I, I, they run a. Interesting style. It's total football style. I was watching a YouTube video one time, so I haven't watched them this

Will: 18:20

The back to the front. The front to the back.

Jerrell: 18:22

to check. Yeah, I wanna check it out.

Will: 18:23

Christian sent the scouting detail over to us on a reel. I was just like, that's the shit that gets me excited, bro. But yeah, club bru. Club bru, they're coming off of, they're upset over at Atlanta in the last round. Pretty, pretty total victory over them. They're facing. Aston Villa. Aston Villa go qualified straight through Villa. Obviously they've been wobbly since what December, honestly, where they started really strong. A lot of late goals and then. Sent John Duran out, make some moves in January and they look like they've been struggling to grab foam. So that is one of the teams. I have games I have highlighted where it's like Club Rub. I have a, might have a chance to be able to make a knockout considering their run a form coming into it. Last match day of the league phase played Man City. Pretty scared them pretty, pretty well. I'm, I'm looking forward to that matchup as just the first one we're touching on. I think that's a 1245 start time tomorrow. I mean on Tuesday, sorry.

Jerrell: 19:13

Whew. Tomorrow.

Christian: 19:14

Ooh, I'm ready. Yeah, that should be a really good game. As mentioned earlier with the new editions that they picked up in the January transfer it should, it should be fun to watch. It should definitely be fun to watch. I think Ass and Bill will take it. I don't know. I really like the, the chemistry,

Jerrell: 19:26

the Belgian side. Just off vibes.

Christian: 19:28

just soft vibes. What is it? A Belgian vibe.

Jerrell: 19:31

A Belgian

Will: 19:32

He is picking the blue.

Jerrell: 19:33

No, it's just kinda the same sentiment as well, saying Ashton Villa hasn't really had a strong form. They're very inconsistent. They haven't played in a Champions League game since the group stage ended. And to be honest, their last two games in Premier League, just three points in two games, and I don't know, they just don't feel strong. I think Club Brews just definitely has the momentum going into this one.

Christian: 19:57

Sounds like they're arrested to me despite the fact of playing two games in five days.

Will: 20:02

I, we will see. We should have just done the gut check pick like we did for last round, but fuck it. We'll do it next round. Dortmund Lil, I don't have a lot on this one. Honestly. DOT's been having a soso season. They were put, threw pretty clean against de Lil, I'm not gonna say I'm too familiar with their game. Honestly. Them, them qualifying was a huge shock. I think they qualified seven, if I remember correctly. But I'm leaning.man, Jess off. Mm-hmm. Christian's in a playful move as he's playing with his dog right now. But that was clean.

Christian: 20:32

sure she doesn't break shit.

Will: 20:34

She's gonna eat your wireless headphones this week. But yeah, probably going dottin just off. She has something to say. She has something to say. We're going get some mic pickup from her at the end of the episode and plug it in at the end. But yeah, probably going dot just off general vibe. I don't have a lot to add to this one honestly, but though obviously yeah, just a surprise. Yeah.

Jerrell: 20:54

This was more 50 50 for me because Norman's, they've been going through a little bit of struggles with the coaching staff and everything like that. And I obviously, I don't know too much about the French side. So in my head, this is 50 50. We'll see what happens.

Will: 21:09

flip. Christian, you're the decider. Who you got?

Christian: 21:12

I got doorman.

Will: 21:13

Okay, so now let's get real set. PSVE, Hoven they're writing the momentum of their comeback against UUs intern. They're gonna be playing. Good old arsenal. What are we thinking about this one, guys? Considering?

Jerrell: 21:25

best possible, possible matchup for Arsenal as far as all the teams go?

Will: 21:30

Yeah, depending on how you look at lil and bru, probably, but you event the, oh, you're not gonna disrespect by How

Jerrell: 21:39

Don't do

Will: 21:39

you. How dare you.

Jerrell: 21:42

home. Yeah. Nervous. We're ready for the zero. Zero in both legs and go to penalties.

Will: 21:49

If we, if we, if we don't score in the first half of this one, I think the first leg is in PSV. I think that's how I try to set it up. I don't, I don't, I double check me though. If we don't score in the first half, I feel like it's just gonna leak on. We have enough quality around the pitch where we should be able to get a results similar to. Last year. Who did we play in the round of 16? Was it It was one of those Portuguese. And was it sporting club or was it Benfica? Do we remember? Top of our heads.

Christian: 22:16

I wanna say sporting'cause I think I remember green.

Will: 22:19

Okay, okay. Yeah. Seems, seems, seems legit to me. But yeah. Our so played a tough tie. You could see like a little bit of nervous jitters or whatnot. I needed us to get through this round to see if we can get some re reinforcements come April for the next round of ties. But my, my gut says Arsenal, but if PSV had to choose a time to play Arsenal this, I'd be wanting to do it right now. So I think PSV was also trying to move the tie actually, because I think on the Tuesday of the games there's like a citywide celebration or something like that. So I think they had requested to try to move it. I don't know what happened with that, but I'll follow up with it

Jerrell: 22:55

winning God.

Will: 22:57

exactly. Something close to Christian's heart. We're gonna get a Madrid Derby also in the round of 16. That's gonna be crazy. What are your thoughts on it, Christian?

Christian: 23:06

Gonna fucking win. We're gonna fucking win. No, it's, it's always,

Jerrell: 23:10

Christian said, athletical Madrid is going to win.

Will: 23:12

He said Madrid,

Christian: 23:14

nah. A madrid forever. It's gonna be a good game. It's always a, it is always a fun matchup whenever you get a classical, a classical but

Will: 23:22

of a bitch. Replacing me as rival over here. I'll kill you.

Christian: 23:27

No, but when I saw it, I was like, oh, it's gonna be a really good game. I can't wait to see it. And then when I saw the rest of the matchups, I was just like, no, no. That means if both my teams win, it's gonna be Madrid versus Arsenal in the next leg. And boys. I was a Madrid fan first before I was an Arsenal fan.

Jerrell: 23:46

it

Will: 23:46

You're, you're looking ahead, bro. You're doing every time, bro. Watch. On average, I'd say with. With the fixtures that were played, I think Royal Madrid controlled them better. But hey, you never know. Madrid Derby and Lady Goal could get ahead and just eek it out. Throwing over the top rope, just Barcelona can play. Continues to play the weirdest fucking games this season. If you get a chance, I know I said this before, watch the four four tie. They had that in the Copa Delrey Lago Madrid. They scored two goals in six minutes. Against Barcelona. Barcelona tied it up real quick after, and then at some point we're up four, two, and then towards the end of the game LA we'll score two more goals in about 10 minutes. It was fucking crazy. So at some point the fans were celebrating, they were like doing the, hey, every time they pass, whoa or whatnot, and it ended up four, four tie and everyone just kind of like, next week's gonna be interesting. Yeah, we'll see what, let it go. We got. Ryder Dam enter. I'm assuming we're picking enter. Christian doesn't believe in Rodder Dam. How about you drill?

Jerrell: 24:42

I was pick against her too.

Will: 24:44

You know what,

Jerrell: 24:45

Someone's gotta represent Italy.

Will: 24:47

know what? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I can't do it. Probably, probably pick an insert just off the strength of they're seasoned so far. Another fun match that we have, Byron Munich versus Byer Lever. Cuson. So we have lever KU who are able to. Take the German crown in the Bundesliga last year playing just the institution that has Byron Munich. Any hope for Lever Qin coming into this? Any upset picks going on.

Jerrell: 25:11

Maybe because Munich did not look strong against Celtic, so I. Who knows, maybe the advantage falls to lover Cuson.

Christian: 25:22

I am going put my eggs in the cha Alonzo basket right there. No reason just the Madrid connect, but yeah, it should be a, it's always a fun

Will: 25:29

Very advice picks. I'll give you the real Madrid one where he's just this is what we do. We win. Hi Madrid, but fucking Alonzo. So Madrid. Madrid stays winning. I was just like, get the fuck outta here.

Christian: 25:42

I, I, I don't follow too much of the esli, so I can't really give like a, a, a solid analytics here.

Will: 25:47

Yeah, I'll take, I'll take Munich just'cause I'm surprised you guys both went. Leverkusen should be fun to watch. Florian, verts and Cielo both play like similar positions on the pitch. Both young players who are probably going to, be around for the next decade or so. Go against each other. Harry Kane, of course, on his pursuit for some silverware is looking bundesliga this year will be his first one ball. Also looking to get some joy in the UCL as well.

Christian: 26:09

Are they

Will: 26:10

I'm gonna take Munich. I, I don't know, bro.

Jerrell: 26:13

Enough.

Christian: 26:14

it, it would just be funny if they just don't win. Just off that Harry King curse.

Will: 26:18

Funny's one way to put it, but, all we also have Ben FCA versus Barcelona. Coming off Ben Fika, they're playing some of the wildest games in the UCL. This go around, they had that three, three tie against Monaco that we covered where the last 15 minutes just kept going back and forth until extra time. And last time Barcelona and Ben Fico played, it was the, my game of the when we did the pot after I was in shock.'cause I was just kind of like, I don't know if you guys got a chance to watch it, but the fucking rubber banding emotionally that I felt and the five four game that they played. I think Pavlidis had a hat trick in 30 minutes and then both teams just kept going back and forth while I was like. Raining sideways. 30 30 gallons. So if you still haven't watched it, watch it as a primer for what should be a weird fucking tie.'cause Barcelona's crazy Ben FCAs game's going crazy. So I'm no emotional stability for me this coming up.

Christian: 27:08

Are they all gonna be yeah, they all always air at the same time, right? So it's gonna be half of them Tuesday at

Will: 27:14

So they'll usually have one game at 1245. So I try to put them in order that shows, so Club Bru versus Aston Villa is gonna be 1245 Tuesday, and then the Dortmund, Eindhoven and Madrid ties will be played at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, if I remember correctly. And then the next day, Roger Dam entered will be. 1245 start time Eastern. And then the Byron Benfica, PSG games will be played at the same time at three. Paramount plus if you're in the States, they have like their go las. So show, just put that on and they'll, they'll sort it out for you unless you want, really wanna lock in on it. Same stuff.

Christian: 27:50

It should be a phone watch.

Will: 27:52

And then

Jerrell: 27:53

match.

Will: 27:54

I,

Jerrell: 27:54

versus Liverpool.

Will: 27:55

I'm most excited to watch this one actually.

Jerrell: 27:58

Really.

Will: 27:58

Yeah.'cause Liverpool's just been so consistent this year. As we continue to just be like, will they fall? Will they die? Coming in first in the UCL League phase, first in the UPL they, I think they have a Carrabelle final coming up. Correct. And then are they still alive in that? Oh no. They sold in that FA cup. So that was, that was their only drop. Yeah.

Jerrell: 28:17

Yeah.

Will: 28:18

So Liverpool probably. Mostly I wish. And then P-S-G-P-S-G, who's struggling through a lot of the league phase, but their last fixtures against breasts. The beat up on them got the 10 oh Lu Mont Ballet over the last couple of match days. UCL at least as well, has been looking like a completely different player. And PSG probably this is the most balanced they've been in damn near a decade. When you watched him play so. I'm most excited that just because round of 16, you're getting two teams that you expect to, may maybe make a, at least a semi-final run.

Jerrell: 28:49

All right, Liverpool, you got my vote.

Christian: 28:52

I just don't like to, I, I don't wanna vote for Liverpool, but I also just can't vote for PSG.

Will: 28:57

Take your, take the ego out of it, who do you think is gonna win?

Christian: 29:01

vote for the.

Jerrell: 29:02

is

Will: 29:02

I, I hope it's a draw. And it goes down to it goes down to penalties and the keepers take it. And one keeper he slips, but it just slowly rolls forward. And then the other keeper, since he rolled his ankle, he just guys, it, it's just the most pathetic game I've ever seen. But I'm gonna go Liverpool even though, but I think this will be probably be the most fun tie considering.

Christian: 29:24

Yeah, it's definitely gonna be a fun watch.

Will: 29:26

Six. Six. Nothing Liverpool. They go up early and there's just no fun to be had that that would pretty much be on brand for Liverpool. They're taking all my joy this year,

Christian: 29:34

this all goes from sala,

Jerrell: 29:38

Always

Christian: 29:38

Mo.

Jerrell: 29:40
