Will: 1:00

I wanna shout out Christian for being here. It is the first post-classical match that he showed up for. We watched it together.

Jerrell: 1:06

Oh, you guys did watch it together.

Will: 1:07

Oh yeah, we did watch it

Jerrell: 1:08

Ooh,

Will: 1:09

came over on Mother's Day

Jerrell: 1:10

yeah.

Will: 1:11

I, 15 minutes in, I almost kicked him outta my house. But I think it ended up okay.

Christian: 1:15

and everything

Will: 1:16

Yeah, he gave me espresso milkshake

Jerrell: 1:17

Give you'em a jersey.

Will: 1:19

he gave me,

Christian: 1:20

that.

Will: 1:22

So I could be really anxious while watching the game. I'm not gonna lie, we were down too well early. They had me worried in the first, like half of the first

Jerrell: 1:28

It just seems like the Barcel way go down two and then,

Will: 1:31

It wasn't like this all season, but

Jerrell: 1:33

like this for the past four games, I think.

Christian: 1:35

But it makes you feel alive.

Will: 1:37

It's

Jerrell: 1:38

What a rush.

Will: 1:39

last year when we'd be down, I'd be like, fuck. Or even watching Arsal, I'm just like, damn. I don't know if we have two goals in us when Barcelona go down. Just like we got goals in this. Um

Jerrell: 1:49

when, when, hi, his left footed, patented, left footed hook. I was just like, that's fucking awesome. My brother's looking at me. He is just you actually fucking like this shit. I'm just like, you don't?

Will: 1:59

That's crazy.

Christian: 1:59

what?

Will: 2:00

That's crazy. Your brother's not invited on the pod. Yeah. And Bape with a hat trick, but I think he's a problem. But also shout out, shout Madrid because they prolonged the season in La Ligo one day longer. Christian, tell me what you know about your boy Jacobo.

Christian: 2:16

I am gonna say what I know about fucking, I've been calling this shit for a few months. I was like, I don't think we're gonna win any trophies. We're not gonna win any trophies. We're not gonna any trophies. And then we'll just like, bro, long season I was like, no. know love my team, but it just, it wasn't there. It was not there.

Will: 2:34

Okay,

Christian: 2:35

was your question?

Will: 2:36

so shout out Jacobo Ramon.

Christian: 2:38

Yeah, 20 year.

Will: 2:38

He got a fifth Miss Aish time goal. Madrid special. Madrid went down early. So yeah Barcelona with the chance to clinch and the Bara Derby again, espnu. So we'll see how that goes. But we are a Premier League podcast as people like to remind me all the time who wants to hit the match? Day 36 review for us this week.

Jerrell: 2:57

I gotcha. All right. Kicking it off with Fullham and Everton Fullham. Needing points to stay in Euro contention. Lose three. One. Very gut-wrenching. I don't know. Not Fullham fan. Brentford win over Ipswich one zero South Hampton. Don't show up to play. I don't know. They get a second clean sheet in 50 Premier League games. Holding Man City scoreless. Brighton take down the Wolves. Two Zero Born Myth lose Aston Villa One Zero. Liverpool and Arsenal Draw after what I thought Arsenal was going to sell in the first half. Going two down very quickly. Newcastle and Chelsea Newcastle winning two zero. Man United losing to Westham two zero. Nottingham Forest clenching their spot in Europe with the draw over Lester City two, two. And I thought the Spurs lost. Spurs disperse win.

Will: 3:52

They did. That's a typo. No, like they didn't win. They lost. Sorry. I was

Jerrell: 3:57

Crystal Palace

Will: 3:59

My

Jerrell: 3:59

beat the Spurs. Two zero. Okay.

Will: 4:01

intern was tired.

Jerrell: 4:03

No, all good. And that, and that is our that's match 36.

Will: 4:06

Can

Jerrell: 4:06

to me guys. Talk to me.

Will: 4:08

the champagne? For South Hampton, I've always believed it's, of course, that's where we have to start. St. Mary Stadium.

Jerrell: 4:14

They, they're tied right for

Christian: 4:17

They

Will: 4:17

up.

Jerrell: 4:18

They're up now. They're safe. Now they're for,

Will: 4:20

0

Jerrell: 4:21

they're forgettable.

Will: 4:22

of champagne and they said, we are the worst team still in Premier League history. Fuck them Southampton Boys. You say what you want about us, but you will talk about us. Derby County another year at Southampton gets so surprised.

Christian: 4:37

against.

Will: 4:38

everyone. Hey, takes the pressure off of Arsenal in two weeks, so I fucking take it

Jerrell: 4:42

So I watched this.

Will: 4:43

on the fuck

Jerrell: 4:43

I watched that game.

Will: 4:44

yeah, you did. You fucking

Jerrell: 4:45

I watched that game.

Will: 4:46

it.

Jerrell: 4:47

I literally sat there and I'm just like, south Hampton has 11 in their half. They are not leaving. They had a couple, they had a couple dribbles

Christian: 4:56

box.

Jerrell: 4:56

the other half, maybe a shot or two, but they were fully hell bent on not conceding and hey, they did it. They fucking did it.

Christian: 5:06

crazy.

Will: 5:06

to 1.7 xg. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that. I was like, yeah, for the fucking sickos, bro.

Christian: 5:11

possession.

Will: 5:12

They were, they, the fans got, did it in front of the whole, their home fans too, so they got some celebrations off or whatnot. You love to see it, man. City. They're sitting in fourth now actually with this result. Newcastle getting the result as well. Newcastle in third, they have a chance to do something that we thought was insane a couple weeks ago. Jump Arsenal this week. Yeah. Yeah. So fun stuff going on.

Christian: 5:32

Shut up. I asked the question

Jerrell: 5:35

up.

Christian: 5:37

Are we gonna hold on to second place boys?

Will: 5:39

Not,

Christian: 5:39

were just like,

Will: 5:41

we're still, we're still in second Christian. We'd have to lose unless you.

Jerrell: 5:45

I'm have to run that tape back

Will: 5:46

going our way. Yeah. Christian remembers I like Christian. He remembers his victories, bro, I can't wait for our our standings review where I get to bask him. Some of my failures actually,

Christian: 5:56

you know who our next game is against?

Will: 5:59

Newcastle.

Jerrell: 5:59

Newcastle.

Christian: 6:00

Yeah.

Will: 6:01

did the thing again, bro. This shit's impressive. I just said that I

Jerrell: 6:06

We literally just said that we were, you responded to it.

Christian: 6:10

what I do.

Will: 6:11

Christian's Drew Barrymore and 51st

Jerrell: 6:13

actually watched that two days ago.

Will: 6:15

Yeah. Wow. That's crazy. Topicals. Fuck. Yeah. I'm gonna have to make video recaps of our conversations. In the pre, in our pre show meeting, we had the same thing where me and Darrell just smiled at him. He was just like, why are you guys being quiet? You guys are being weird.

Jerrell: 6:28

51st dates on Netflix.

Will: 6:30

You heard us celebrate Southampton too, right?

Christian: 6:33

I got

Will: 6:33

okay. Okay, cool, cool, cool. But yeah. Yeah. So that's gonna be, I think that would be a big game.'cause Arsenal finishes up their last Match day is gonna be against Southampton. I'm not sure who Newcastle plays actually off the top of my head. Probably Arsenal's last big game. Oh. That's a fun game. I, I saw tickets for the last match at Eson Park. Were going for over a thousand. You said I activated that part of my game. Darrell put that in the pod. Thanks Darrell. Appreciate you. I was like, I don't know where I read that. It was on, it's on the pod sheet. So appreciate you bud.

Jerrell: 7:02

I am sorry. I I did miss that. What, what was it?

Christian: 7:06

Oh

Will: 7:06

Not, not

Jerrell: 7:07

Eh, yeah, I was, I was in the middle of, of a coughing fit.

Will: 7:10

I was singing your praises for putting the price point for the last match at average in park,

Jerrell: 7:15

Oh, yeah. I was curious. I was like.

Will: 7:18

Yeah.

Jerrell: 7:18

very expensive ticket.

Will: 7:20

Yeah, Fullham dropping points at home tailing off the end of their season. So funny enough, Darrell, the day after you re we recorded I was going through and E-S-P-N-I, I swear to God at

Jerrell: 7:31

Do they do my spreadsheet?

Will: 7:32

put they did your spreadsheet is crazy. No, but they put, they pretty much outlined everything you did at the end where me and Christian's eyes went cross-eyed because we were just like, God,

Jerrell: 7:41

Yeah.'cause I, I sent it to ESPN.

Will: 7:43

Yeah, I was like, they definitely, they sniped your shit, bro.

Jerrell: 7:45

Yeah.

Will: 7:46

mean, I don't know.

Jerrell: 7:47

Shout out e espn, listening to the pod. Cut the check.

Will: 7:49

good. Also,

Christian: 7:51

in limb, bro.

Jerrell: 7:52

Yeah.

Will: 7:52

aside, crazy, quick aside

Jerrell: 7:54

They listened to all the episodes

Will: 7:56

going into some UCL last week and Classico hearing how ESPN like UK covers football versus like how ESPN in the states covers

Jerrell: 8:06

Yes, fc.

Will: 8:08

It's fucking, no, not even ffc. I wish, like SPN uk, like the website and the videos they put up.'cause I use VPNs a lot, so I'll accidentally get them on like my YouTube and stuff versus pretty much take culture in the US is night and day and it's honestly disgusting. And I think, I think we might be the problem guys.

Jerrell: 8:23

Unless you're Gary Neville.

Will: 8:25

True. Yeah. But yeah, so I just wanted to shout out ESPN uk'cause they have like very long, thoughtful analysis about games I cared about. I was just like, oh, these are smart thoughts

Jerrell: 8:32

Because people

Will: 8:33

Like. Versus Pep Ola, is he cooked? And Bape, is he a choker? It's no, I fucking hate Bartol. Yeah, shout Bape. By the way, he, great season. He's probably gonna win the Chu Picchu even though Lulu went down. But he is not the problem is what I'd say. Villa with a win over bird myth. Speaking of a Madrid connection ASIN Villa Win one oh and clinched some form of U Euro composition. So they're in a good position right now to potentially. Capture the last spot for Champions League. Right now they're staying in six tied on points with Chelsea, so they just need Chelsea to drop. Chelsea has, do they have a top five game to close out the season?

Christian: 9:10

I'll tell

Will: 9:10

Nottingham?

Christian: 9:11

seconds.

Jerrell: 9:12

Yeah, that'd be the last one then.

Christian: 9:13

yeah. Chelsea has Manu and Nottingham

Jerrell: 9:15

Yeah. Yeah. Those, those

Will: 9:16

You're league

Jerrell: 9:17

top. But yeah.

Christian: 9:19

yeah.

Jerrell: 9:20

Bourmouth, losing to Villa really puts a damper on their chances of qualifying. They were eighth to start the match day, and they fell down to 10th. Their chance of qualification eight is like the sweet spot right now. As so long as Man City wins FA Cup, and we'll get into that. But if you're sitting at eighth, you're looking at a conference league position, so anybody sitting there, which currently it's Brentford, shout out Brentford.

Will: 9:45

Biz buzz. Wait, what the fuck? Do that. Can you show that again, Joe?

Jerrell: 9:48

Yeah, man. Badge. You got it?

Will: 9:50

Do you have a jersey? That's insane. That's amazing. Talk about be the bit I love it. I like how you casually just showed it too. I was like, wait,

Jerrell: 10:02

I got the badge.

Will: 10:04

sorry. Carry on. My, I, I, threw me off.

Jerrell: 10:08

Yeah. No, you're good. It's still tightly, we're, we're, you're looking, you could still include Fullham into this race as well. Fullham kind of just being a long shot with six points remaining on the board for everybody. Fullham will obviously have to get all six points, and with the Westland and Derby coming up between Brentford and Fulham only one team could take at least a point or three points. This race is crazy, but if Crystal Palace wins the FA cup, then none of this matters and all the bees are sad.

Will: 10:38

And that has been the partial,

Jerrell: 10:40

The Brentford corner,

Will: 10:41

qualify Brentford corner. That's better. Yeah. for the

Jerrell: 10:44

'cause all I'm doing is glazing Bruford.

Will: 10:47

he's the jersey now. It's official, bro.

Christian: 10:49

losing the plot.

Will: 10:50

Nottingham horse.

Jerrell: 10:52

didn't lose my plot. This is European qualification talk.

Will: 10:55

No, not that's not true. You're right. You're right. It was a good segue though. It's more just that not even four, losing a point me and Christian talked about on Sunday, they dropped points to ER city who scores two goals. Again, good for them.

Jerrell: 11:06

Yeah,

Christian: 11:06

goals.

Jerrell: 11:07

to finish strong.

Christian: 11:08

they, they opened up in the 16th minute and a Nottingham went up two one, and then they just lost it in the 81st minute. Just they, they're just on a bad record right now. They haven't been able to win a game. Their, their last win came against the Spurs, which who hasn't beat the Spurs. Yeah, that's the only one in their last, like what, eight, eight competition, eight matches. not looking bueno, but they do have upcoming games that can put them into the top four again. They have West Ham coming up, which, doable, we will's, catfish and closing out the season against Chelsea, so that Chelsea Forest game is gonna be a good one to watch at the, on the last week.

Jerrell: 11:50

Oh yeah, that'd be a huge one. Ch Nottingham with the draw did clinch, at least the conference league, they, they will have to see some European play. They can't fall lower than seventh. It just depends. Are they going to Champions League? Are they going to Europa League or are they gonna be in the conference league so Season is not dead?

Will: 12:07

Yeah, shit. Awkward segue, but scary moment. Also in this game talo.

Christian: 12:11

A

Will: 12:11

I would,

Christian: 12:12

Yeah.

Will: 12:12

yeah, I was literally just speaking of, I am sorry for fucking butchering that, sir. Hope's all well offside play in the game that was clearly offside and goes into that just at what point do we raise a flag for offside? Play through. He hits the post hard as hell. And it turns out there's some abdomen issues. They actually, I didn't do some in a coma. Coming off the game, initially the medical staff missed the, how serious the injury was. He looked like he was trying to play through it, so he actually finished on the pitch for Nottingham Forest. Scary moments after just'cause you could see after he couldn't really play. So Forres played pretty much finished that game of game down and he's currently in the hospital now. Probably out for the rest of the season with abdominal issues issues espero, Santo and the owner of Nottingham for cus got into it on the pitch. Nottingham tried to put out like a little piece, but it was just a bad look. They tried to put it as just like the passion of the owner. Yeah, so scary stuff. Hope everything's okay there. And just, yeah, something very, very scary, but clearly offside like by a yard or two. And it was just like one of those you gotta let it play out in case of something, which I'm sure that that would be revisited, but hope for a full recovery soon.

Christian: 13:21

Yeah. It's crazy that he was able to stay on the pitch after that collision, man.

Will: 13:24

Yeah. Yeah. He, yeah. So professional soccer players go fast as hell in. Yeah, they said it was a miscommunication between Santo and then he literally used his last sub after he thought he was okay. And yeah, it was just bad, bad moment all around, but glad he is. Okay. speaking of finishing with the man down New Castle, with the big result against Chelsea in this top five finish New Castle, looking like they're pretty much home for qualification of some sorts, knock on whatever for them. So they really heard me mid-season just being like, Hey, shit, they can't score and just

Jerrell: 13:55

They also want care about, so they've had it locked for a while.

Will: 13:59

For Champions League, Jarrell for Champions League, these things are not the

Jerrell: 14:03

Hang on, hang on. They still need three points.

Will: 14:07

Everybody has magic numbers. Do we have a magic number? Yeah, we do still have a new magic

Jerrell: 14:11

It's technical. It's one to make Champions league.

Will: 14:15

We need one.

Jerrell: 14:16

Yeah,

Will: 14:17

That's what you're saying.

Jerrell: 14:18

that's it. Just draw.

Will: 14:20

I'm just saying we have Newcastle who we've struggled over with over like our last four matchups with, and then the Saints have a chance to do the funniest thing. If we saw Don't go away. I might, I might literally crash out. But it'll be fun because easy Dub. Easy Dub this weekend. We'll talk about that in the preview. You're right.

Christian: 14:37

Ramsdale with revenge.

Jerrell: 14:39

Oh no.

Will: 14:41

It's funny'cause we have seen some, like keepers just put up like performance of the season against us throughout the year, so I don't even wanna say it. So

Jerrell: 14:49

Spurs and United look like they're in excellent form before their matchup.

Christian: 14:54

You're just gonna, it's gonna be, it's not gonna be who wins the game, it's gonna be who wants to lose more.

Will: 15:00

it's crazy.

Jerrell: 15:02

Imagine being 17th in the Premier League and, and getting and winning a trophy.

Will: 15:06

Bro, we left it off for they left it off for the trophy man. But one of the issues that AMM has talked about is like he wants to see who shows up to every game, at least on the Manchester United lens with tan ham. I know we joke a lot about when you look at the amount of injuries they've had all throughout the pitch is just. Yeah, maybe you don't expect them to drop this much, but they're dealing with the ridiculous amount of injuries over there. But Manchester United while also having injuries, you get, they just like a general, almost malaise almost compared to like how they performed against Leon and the previous matchup and their semi-finals in the UEL and Amar M'S. Talked about continually about he wants players that's you're, you don't win the season. Me and Christian even talked about while watching the class he go, it's like the frustrating losses aren't like when we're head to head our teams, it's more like when we drop points to a lower tier team and then you see that kind of case in point where it's just it's one thing to lose, it's another thing to just not show effort and just be able teams go and see these teams and just feel like, oh, I'm gonna get something out of this one. Prior, it used to be just like this air of invincibility. Of course, it's been a long time. Maybe since Manchester United has had that type of error or that type of fear across the team, but it's just bleak. West Hand breaks the eight game win list streak. Moving to 15th with a two oh win over Manchester United, which is insane. At least Palace you can say like they, they're playing for something midseason. They showed like their best form over the second half. But, but a westham lust, my catfish, who I continue to reclaim as my actual catfish has looked hapless under Potter a lot. With the clean win. Once again, admir drafter,

Jerrell: 16:35

Do we wanna talk about Arsenal, Liverpool? Because I didn't get to watch the first half of that. So I was checking on my phone and I was like, oh look, Liverpool scored at the. 20th minute, and then immediately, oh, look, Liverpool scored in the 21st minute It was

Will: 16:51

Cheryl always say the worst time to the money, you're

Jerrell: 16:53

90 seconds. Yeah.

Will: 16:54

Yes, sir.

Christian: 16:55

Yeah.

Jerrell: 16:57

Who scored first? Gag? Pope

Christian: 16:58

Gpo, GPO scored first, and I vividly remember it because we were watching the, the, the classical and Barcelona scored and Will was too happy. So

Will: 17:07

Too happy is insane, bro. I

Jerrell: 17:09

too happy, too happy.

Will: 17:10

I was like, I offered you, I offered you meats like,

Christian: 17:13

barcelona scored, and then GPO scored like two minutes later. So while they're still celebrating the Barcelona Classico gun, it was like arsenals losing just to. Tone it down a little

Will: 17:25

Yeah. And then we scored again, and then we came back. Yeah. okay.

Jerrell: 17:29

Again.

Christian: 17:30

crazy 12 minutes.

Will: 17:31

Yeah. But I, I have to actually go and watch this back. I put it on in the background while I was doing prepping some Mother's Day brunch stuff. But Arsen able to come back from 2.0 down. But once again, finishing with the drum marino picked up a second yellow. So honestly it feels like almost like a microcosm of the season.

Jerrell: 17:47

The nine against? Newcastle tr

Will: 17:51

I think Traer might have a hamstring, nick.

Jerrell: 17:53

O.

Will: 17:53

Which is crazy. Yeah. So we'll, we'll I'll try to look into that a little bit more,

Jerrell: 17:57

It is party time

Will: 17:59

it's about to ah, whoa shit.

Christian: 18:01

at nine is crazy.

Will: 18:02

Par, par party at nine. Holy shit. But yeah, I feel like it just was just showed a lot about the season where it's just our so another draw That's what's killed them

Jerrell: 18:11

arsenal. Sixth thread, by the way, most threads in the Premier League. Very unfortunate.

Will: 18:16

it's weird. We, we'll, we'll, we'll have time over the summer to get into our controversial or hot tape corner. We'll do a purge or something where you can just say whatever the fuck we want.

Jerrell: 18:24

It's rigged. Everything's rigged.

Will: 18:27

The, the number, show it. Okay. The number of fouls to reds is

Jerrell: 18:30

Why does Chelsea have six yellow cards and only two reds?

Will: 18:34

Miko Jackson picking up a red this weekend actually in fucking them against Newcastle and Inboarding game. Probably not the best time, but yeah. Yeah,

Jerrell: 18:41

Yeah.

Will: 18:42

outside of that I think the only thing we didn't cover was Wolves, bride and Bride and ones, and Lan you. But I'm good on it. I'm good on it. We

Jerrell: 18:48

Yeah,

Will: 18:49

a couple finals to review. So shout, shout, brighten, still in new ECL qualification areas. I try to, I'm trying to add as much of that as I can into the doc'cause I really appreciate the researcher work you put into a show.

Jerrell: 19:00

Yeah, no problem. FA Cup is this Saturday. I did not put the time. I, I wanna say it's at nine

Will: 19:05

10, I think it's at

Jerrell: 19:06

10.

Will: 19:07

15 and eight Eastern time. So like

Jerrell: 19:09

Eastern time.

Will: 19:10

time.

Jerrell: 19:11

So if you're in New York, 10 15,

Will: 19:14

hmm. That's actually when I land, so yeah. I might be able

Jerrell: 19:17

oh shit,

Will: 19:19

something. But yeah. So who do you guys got?

Jerrell: 19:21

fucking conflicted with this game.'cause one fuck man city,

Will: 19:25

Shit.

Jerrell: 19:26

two.

Will: 19:26

professional podcast.

Jerrell: 19:28

But two, if man city wins it, it, it only helps the bees.

Christian: 19:32

Yeah, that's

Jerrell: 19:32

small club man. City, brentford palace. It's hard.

Will: 19:39

the.

Christian: 19:39

gonna go with Palace is who I want to win. Just for that Munoz connection.

Will: 19:45

It's very selfish. That's crazy.

Jerrell: 19:47

Me picking man city is also selfish.

Will: 19:49

yours is selfish from Elisa Club. Your support and Christian's doing it because there's a Colombian on the other team. Christian.

Christian: 19:54

club. I support a country

Will: 19:56

Christian was supporting Liverpool this weekend. I wasn't gonna put it on the pod, it is what it is.

Christian: 20:00

I Liverpool.

Jerrell: 20:01

These accusations are false.

Will: 20:03

The two matchups this season. Crystal Palace two, two in December at home and then they lost five two at the Emirates on the 12th, about a month ago. Crystal Palace in that tie where they lost five two were up to, oh, so over the last four matchups they've played dating back to December 16th, 23 crystal Palace has been able to get goals. This is probably the most vulnerable version of Man City we've seen over that time period. In all those matchups may outside of maybe the 12th where. It literally looked like Man City might crash out of Europe at at least UCL at some point. They've rode that result and momentum to securing their place it looks like. But all that being said, it, I don't think this is as bleak of a matchup as if we were to preview it in September

Jerrell: 20:40

Oh no. I think this is gonna be a close game for sure.

Will: 20:43

I think if you're Crystal Palace, you have the platform to go out there and to, put up goals, you have that confidence, and once you have that. Then the, I really, it's the pressures all on city. They've already said that FA Cup won't salvage their season at all, but you also

Jerrell: 20:59

You are not gonna be mad at another trophy. In the trophy case though.

Will: 21:02

You don't wanna lose a back to back fa cup finals, especially when you don't have much outside of qualification places to play for. I, I, I have it close. It really, I think it's really gonna come down to just what version of City we see. City has shown a couple times where they're just missing that stability in midfield and kind of struggle to find goals out of structure. We'll see what it looks like.

Jerrell: 21:22

Are we going to extra time?

Will: 21:24

oh shit. Are we doing, are we hitting the parlays?

Christian: 21:27

Be a good game. Back to that man city second las, when they, when they beat CP five two, Palace is coming off of a seven game unbeaten streak, and it was a man city that kind of clipped their wings a little bit. But not to mention the, the, the game before that, crystal Palace ended up getting two red cards. So they were out without way. He, which plays, a pivotal role in the defense. And I think Getta Streger was the other red card. So they'll, they'll have more pieces this time around. Something to actually play for. I dunno, I think since Crystal Palace is gonna have a better game than they did on that five two loss and yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm going for Crystal Palace. Who doesn't, who, who's tired of Man City. Let's be honest. Let, let, let's give, let's give the mid table teams something to, to, to celebrate.

Jerrell: 22:13

Conflict is strong with me. No, I would like to see, I, I would wanna see palace one, have Palace ever won a trophy

Will: 22:21

I am pretty sure.

Jerrell: 22:22

in, in

Will: 22:23

I don't think this is like a first Chelsea or like a first trophy ever thing from what I read about, but I could've named it off the top of my head. We'll see. I think I forgot. Did, did Palace match their highest points total? I forgot if I

Jerrell: 22:35

I think they tied it. You do. You have I read it. I read it somewhere and I saw you had it on here, so I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have it there. 49 points have tied their best ever in competition.

Will: 22:45

as they hit a brace also over the weekend, I'd be remiss if I didn't say he's been huge for them without the, with the, at least a void there. But I'm rooting for crystal palaces for sure. They pretty much bossed up spurs for the most part over the weekend. They've shown place of cla class and I feel like they've been playing stronger week to week. So I'm rooting for them. Yeah, fuck it. I'm gonna take Crystal Palace. Actually, I'm gonna say shocked if he, I don't see extra time. Actually, I think city drops this. Oh, give it to me. Two. 1,

Jerrell: 23:10

Two, one.

Will: 23:11

Yeah, no, you have it. You have it in wax. I'm gonna have a citizen

Jerrell: 23:14

One and a ET.

Will: 23:16

Emailing in the football fellows just oh, no, actually let me not do what I was gonna do, actually carry on drill.

Christian: 23:23

Random crystal Palace Fa Cup. Final stat here. This is gonna be the third time Crystal Palace reaches the FA Cup final. Every time has been against the Manchester team.

Jerrell: 23:34

Have they won any of those?

Christian: 23:37

No,

Jerrell: 23:37

Oh.

Christian: 23:38

no, no. They lost to menu after a three, three draw in nineties, and they lost to man two, one after extra time in 1516. If we follow the trend, we are gonna see some extra

Jerrell: 23:51

That fucked me up. You said 15, 16. I was like, I didn't know soccer was that old.

Christian: 23:55

Yeah. 15 hundreds.

Jerrell: 23:58

And we have another final too. We have the Europa League final, the final. Nobody asks for Spurs versus Man United. Their, their Premier League run forum hasn't been great, but

Christian: 24:12

Sandbagging.

Jerrell: 24:13

their Europa League form has been awesome. I don't know, are you guys watching this one? Who's, who's tuning in for this?

Will: 24:20

So Spurs have won their last three matchups against Manchester United. Last five. If we go deeper into 2023 five unbeaten, at least they had a draw. I, so I was looking at the lineups like kind of bar for bar like player for player and I, I feel like across the board Spurs has better players, which tells me that, and pasta colu for all the shit I talked about him saying, oh yeah, I win trophies by the second year. Be a wild sendoff. I'm gonna watch it. Hopefully

Jerrell: 24:49

Is he confirmed to be leaving?

Will: 24:51

It is it's not looking great, the vibes are off is what I'd say. It's not confirmed, but'cause there's a level of understanding with the injuries and whatnot. So we'll see. It's just, honestly, this is just like the bad vibes. Derby rims just looks more and more miserable every time we see him post the Colu as well. Not confirmed, but I feel like likely but yeah, I feel like.

Jerrell: 25:11

It is hard.

Will: 25:11

feel like Spurs take it, I feel like they play better football, but the way they play also, you can see Manchester United eking out a goal, and then just big, nothing much going on after. I think on level, I'm gonna go spurs on this.

Jerrell: 25:28

Yeah,

Will: 25:28

it's, it's a toss up honestly.

Jerrell: 25:30

are just super interesting though because like of their 11 wins in the Premier League, only one of those wins. They won by one goal. If Spurs win, they win big. At least they're consistent in that. Man United is, I don't know, it's, they're just like so all over the place. It's just really hard to say. Also, they have a nugget of 11 gold differential spurs, despite being 17th, have a plus four gold differential.

Will: 25:59

It is whittled over the last bit of the season. But yeah, theirs was like crazy eye and like when you looked at like the comparison to like the top flight teams, spirits had a top four goal differential for a good part of the season, which was wild.

Jerrell: 26:11

Yeah, that five one lost to Liverpool really put a dent in it.

Christian: 26:14

Yeah.

Will: 26:15

so yeah, e every team deals with injuries and whatnot, but yeah, I guess we'll see. So I guess if it's close, are we leading Manchester United? But if it's, if it's a blowout, it's Spurs, is that,

Jerrell: 26:25

Yeah,

Will: 26:26

are

Jerrell: 26:26

BA. Yeah, basically

Will: 26:28

Yeah,

Christian: 26:28

yeah. I'm torn. I'm torn here. I don't want any of them to win.

Jerrell: 26:33

I think the Spurs will actually win have a good chance of winning this. I think the Spurs have a good chance of winning this.

Will: 26:38

did we talk ourselves in the sprays? Don't do it. That's why I did preseason. And now look at them.

Jerrell: 26:42

No listeners know I'm a B Brentford fan,

Will: 26:44

Facts. Can't confirm. Saw the jersey. Yeah, so I guess toss up. Christian doesn't want any, anyone to win year to here first.

Jerrell: 26:54

like a Arsenal. Don't get a trophy this year. This spur sure as hell. Can't get a trophy this year.

Will: 26:58

hear it so much over this summer, if that happens. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be, it, it, it, it's definitely given chaos. So they play next week, so by the time we pod next week, it should be over. And you'll probably just hear, it's just like a little, just eh, this happened guys. Depending on what

Jerrell: 27:13

see.

Will: 27:14

Oh God. And then we're going to,

Christian: 27:16

through it. It was like, oh, so this was match day. 37. Also, answer, Tim here. Won day, year open league final. Moving on UCL. Final preview.

Will: 27:25

it's only be like Christian talking about the Classico today. Next week we have the European Conference League. Love you, bro. Chelsea versus real Bedes. So we'll preview that next week. We won't touch on that today. And then we'll have. UCL Final will dive in about two weeks as that comes up as well. So match date, 37 preview. Who wants it?

Jerrell: 27:44

I got it. I'll take it over.

Christian: 27:47

down

Jerrell: 27:47

I'll double down on it. Yeah. Preview. We got Villa and the Spurs. Chelsea Man, United. Everton, Southampton. That might be a little too late to get you, get us some park tickets for this one. Westham United v Nottingham Forests. Brentford Fullham in the West London Derby. Wester City v Ipswich in the Relegation Derby Arsenal versus Newcastle in the Fuck The Magpies Derby Brighton versus Liverpool, crystal Palace and the Wolves and Manchester City verse Portmouth. What are we locking in for, guys?

Will: 28:16

I need us to beat Newcastle.

Christian: 28:18

bro.

Will: 28:18

love it. Christian.

Christian: 28:20

That's the one we're looking for.

Will: 28:21

There can only be one team in 18th. I think if switch up on goal difference right now.

Jerrell: 28:26

That one I might just have to skip.

Christian: 28:28

we'd be scoring that when it matters, but we'd be scoring.

Will: 28:31

Occasionally we score.

Christian: 28:33

And on the other side of that, obviously the Arsenal Magpie game and called it, fuck the Mag Pie's therapy, which, you know, professional pod over here.

Will: 28:41

It's, it is my Dinkle bird derby.

Jerrell: 28:43

just think Arsenal is just really tired of New Castle.

Christian: 28:46

Oh yeah. We gotta beat them, man. It, it, I, I think we'll said it earlier, we just don't

Jerrell: 28:51

What's the head to head?

Christian: 28:52

and we just, we just

Will: 28:53

I think we've lost our last I don't think we beat them in five, if I remember. I have to double check. Because we lost both games of the car about, we lost'em earlier in the season. We lost'em last December we beat them in February. Actually, I'm a liar. So What's that? We lost? We haven't scored against them in three, is what I'll say, but we did beat them in February. So

Christian: 29:14

that squad looking like?

Will: 29:16

February 24, huh?

Christian: 29:18

What's that squad looking like for the against castle?

Will: 29:21

Arsenal Squad.

Christian: 29:23

Gonna bring back

Jerrell: 29:25

He is the nine.

Will: 29:27

it, it's really just gonna turn into, I think they like, might flirt with Martinelli up the middle so non can take a thing, but it's,

Jerrell: 29:35

It's gonna be interesting.

Will: 29:36

It's something like Skelly Kiwi or Saliba Ben White's not fully back yet, so Timber's been dealing with Knox as well. It's just. You know who, who wants to play, who wants to play, who needs it, right? So it is at the Emirates, so hopefully that takes us a win. They as we noted a point to qualify

Jerrell: 29:55

All, all three for second.

Will: 29:57

But yeah, I think Arsenal wants the three for, wants the three to clinch and just even though the seasons ended out, especially in the league on a whimper as they were like more focused on EPL and dealing with fixture congestion, I think it's an important game, all things considered just with the, this is the team that kind of bossed us out, the care about semis. And then we've also struggled to get goals at, especially at Third Park over the last year.

Jerrell: 30:19

Arsenal will be wearing their 25, 20 26 kits for this game.

Will: 30:24

Oh

Jerrell: 30:24

Mm-hmm.

Will: 30:26

Oh man. I love that. Arsenal is like also a lifestyle brand, so they have that shit out early. I saw Man City also unveiled theirs for club World Cup, that they're gonna have that out. But that's crazy.

Christian: 30:36

more tickets.

Will: 30:36

Sell something. Any other matches you guys excited to watch?

Jerrell: 30:39

Matches to keep your eye on will be, let me just, per that list.

Will: 30:44

Westham, Nottingham, probably impor

Jerrell: 30:46

Very important. Yes. The West London Derby is an important one as well.

Will: 30:50

Of course, of course. We gotta get that qualification.

Jerrell: 30:54

Chelsea? Chelsea, then United. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Christian: 30:56

just anybody, any of the top six teams here are gonna not including Liverpool, have an important game. They, they need a win out to secure their position and, and champion. So it's, it's gonna be much all of them. I have something to play

Jerrell: 31:09

It's

Will: 31:09

Yeah, our,

Jerrell: 31:10

gonna come up till the last day.

Will: 31:11

yeah. So Arson Newcastle, obviously that's a two three. We have Villa sitting at, are they at six right now, if I'm not mistaken,

Christian: 31:19

villa's at six. Yeah.

Will: 31:21

they at seven?

Jerrell: 31:22

Villas at six.

Will: 31:23

Villa Six. So Ingham Forest needs more points. They can't just settle for one, they need three. Chelsea needs to match Villa need villas down. Even with them I'll go different. So yeah, big games all around. And then Bradford trying to qualify for Europe and that could kill Fullham if they were to win at home. So yeah, a lot going on. Brighton, even though Liverpool doesn't need it, Brighton still has outside chance to qualify for something if they

Jerrell: 31:43

I also at 55 Points.

Will: 31:45

Yeah. Yeah, there's a, a lot of intrigue there. Crystal Palace will be rebounding from their weekend matchup against city wolves. I guess they're just wolven. And then city needs to one over bird myth bird myths fading this cherry sizzling a little bit.

Jerrell: 31:58

Yeah. Sizzled hard.

Will: 32:00

yeah, yeah, so like a raisin in the sun. Quick little transfer window notes. It looks like my summer's starting early. There's gonna be interim window for EPL teams from June 1st to June 10th leading up to the Club World Cup that starts on June 14th. So players can get some reinforcement for that competition before it heads they head over to North America stateside. But the summer window's gonna officially open June 16th, so that's also still two weeks earlier. And that's gonna run until September 1st. They're moving the cutoff time for the window to 7:00 PM.

Jerrell: 32:33

Is there a reason for that or do they just

Will: 32:35

just to align more with people's work days a little bit more so people aren't working till 11, 12 at night.

Jerrell: 32:40

Love that?

Will: 32:40

opening

Jerrell: 32:41

life balance.

Will: 32:42

Yeah, so I think that's EPL specific. I'll give you more notes as probably over the summer about where each window ends, but usually within that timeframe anyway. But yeah, we're ramping up,

Christian: 32:53

any important talks out there that are are good to mention early

Jerrell: 32:57

It's all rumors

Will: 32:59

give, I'll give you guys your shout be, obviously the Trent Alexander Arnold is like the worst kept secret right

Jerrell: 33:04

that we didn't talk about him getting booed by the home fans.

Will: 33:08

yeah, yeah. And we talked about a little bit last week, depending where

Jerrell: 33:11

It's louder this time.

Will: 33:13

real Ferdinand said he posted, he was just like, how can you boo someone. Who you know has won so much for your thing. And he put it unfortunately on Twitter and someone said, responded, and said, you cheated on your dying wife. Don't give us talks about morality. Let us boo this man.

Christian: 33:29

That's crazy.

Will: 33:31

I read it. I was like, Jesus Christ, you Dick. Other news, Dean Huon from Burn Myth. Spanish Defender, Dutch also Dutch Born. Looks like he's headed to Madrid. Madrid looking to strengthen their back line. Finally JBI Alonzo also going to Real Madrid as well.

Christian: 33:44

bro. We're good.

Will: 33:46

Yeah, it's good

Jerrell: 33:47

I'll ask again in two weeks.

Will: 33:48

think Arsenal and Chelsea were also looking for a signature that falls away. Liam Delo. It looks like he might be Manchester United bound. That's gonna be, thank you sir. That'll be good business.'cause I believe with the relegation clause for Ipswich, his price goes down to 30 million. Arsenal has put a deal in I believe for about 60 million pounds for Victor Giles. It looks like he's he's room. He wants the arsenal move, so it's just like wages and contract things. But obviously all this probably won't be confirmed until about June 1st. But yeah, things are

Jerrell: 34:20

Is there a tampering period in European

Will: 34:23

no. Teams make redo a lot of early reach out,

Jerrell: 34:25

Okay.

Will: 34:26

because it's just like players going outta contract, like Florian Vert. He was rumored for Byron, and saying he wants Byron Liverpool has expressed interest to his camp today. another player to watch out. RB Leipzig. Chave Simons he came outta Laia, big player for PSG, big player for Leipzig over the last two years. He's ready for a new move. So look for him to be EPL bound as well. Yes, long story short, there's a lot going on currently. And we'll have more clarification over the coming months, I'm

Jerrell: 34:54

It's all rumors till I see pen to paper,

Will: 34:57

Yeah, and this is just my, this is just my ramp up period. I'm still sleeping well. So catch you guys over the summer.

Jerrell: 35:04

Twitter's gonna go wild.

Will: 35:06

Oh shit. Yeah. I should start tweeting again. Huh,

Christian: 35:09

Bro is the the intern bro.

Jerrell: 35:12

It's the intern's job.

Will: 35:13

y'all have the password and login at some point, so

Jerrell: 35:17

I know I do. I just never use Twitter.

Will: 35:21

that's fair. That's fair. I'm gonna, I'm gonna get back to my one one pod and one skeet a day, pod, one tweet, and one skeet a day.

Christian: 35:29

One C it's, it is funny.

Will: 35:31

We've been through this. Yeah. Anything else you guys wanna shout out today?

Jerrell: 35:35

I am good on my end. Christian, close us out

Will: 35:38

Yeah,

Jerrell: 35:39

Christian: 35:40

Ooh. All right. All right, fellas. It was a nice, another nice podcast with

Will: 35:45

Christian: 35:47

Will: 35:57

The badge, the bad show is crazy. Drew.

Christian: 36:00

With that being said, thanks for listening. See y'all next week when we talk about FA Cup. Next, match Date, 37, and Europa League final for all of 0.5 seconds.

Will: 36:09

God bless the Knicks.

Christian: 36:12
