But at the same time, yeah, right now, does anyone genuinely believe that we're going to drop more points to Manchester City from now till the end with eight games to go and nine for them? Bro, they just drew at home to Forest. Okay, cool.
That can happen. Yeah, but you Wolves, bro, you can draw with Everton also. Can you can you can there's not a single team that you're playing Yeah.
that can't get a draw from you because one you're not playing well and two the Premier League is very played well all season. Pardon? We haven't played well all season.
Precisely. This is the point. So all it takes all it takes for you is for you to continue continue to not play well and then you don't get the rub the green bro.
It happens in games bro. Do you know what I'm saying? So looking at it like it can't happen is crazy.
Okay let me ask you this. Right. Looking at our fixtures remaining fixtures in the Prem.
Forget the other leagues, uh, the other cups for now. Yeah. Right.
Everton is our next time game. Yeah, but Lee, it doesn't work like that. We know this already.
No, I hear it. Everton's our next time game. They've beaten us once in 30 years at our ground.
That doesn't mean anything. Repetitive. It's You believe in that, right?
Bournemouth at home. Yeah, that's a 12:30 kickoff. That ain't an easy game, by the way.
Yeah, but neither is Everton because of the way we play football. The problem with Bournemouth is they're too naive, bro. Everton and a stink that gaff out and that could potentially end a draw and that's a late kickoff next Saturday.
[clears throat] So that could potentially be a banana skin. Bournemouth are too naive, bro. Yeah, they'll attack attack.
Yeah, cool. They beat us last year. Whatever, whatever at their ground.
Yeah, we'll beat them. Then we got Man City away Super Sunday 19th of April. Then we got Newcastle at home by which time we will have beaten Leverkus and we'll have another Champions League tie somewhere sandwiched in between.
Yeah. Whether that's Bodo Glimp or Sporting whoever it may be. Yeah.
Right. Then we got Fulham at home. Then we got West Ham away.
Then we got Burnley at home. They would have been relegated by them, bro. Yeah.
Then the last game we got Crystal Palace. None of their players give a [ __ ] bro. Need as their manager.
It's his last day. True. Yeah.
turn up and do and not only that, we could have the league wrapped by the time we play West Ham and go, "Yo, we'll give you three points to relegate Tottenham. " Yeah. But on the flip side of that, Yeah.
On the flip side of that, it could all go pear, bro. Yeah. And I understand that.
But we are winning that League Cup. That League Cup's ours. Yeah.
Man City's fixtures. Yeah. Take their European games out, their cup games.
Yeah. Their next game is West Ham away. That's at 8:00 p.
m. next Saturday. Whose next game is West Ham away?
Man City game. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Then after that, they've got Crystal Well, Crystal Palace hasn't been rescheduled yet, but it's in there after the Real Madrid, but they've got Real Madrid. Then they got West Ham away. But take they got Newcastle at the weekend tomorrow.
But take these cup games out for a second. Yeah. West Ham away, Palace at home.
They've still got to play. Then they got Chelsea away on the 12th of April. They've got us a week later at their ground.
Then they got Burnley. They'll wall up them. Then they got that's away.
Then they got Everton away. Then they got Brenford at home, Bournemouth away, and Aston Villa at home. On paper, which it ain't played, you go to win.
That's what I said. However, they've got a better squad than us and a better manager than us. Yes.
Yeah. And they got a player in Semeno right now that's on smoke. Yeah, they got Churkey on smoke.
Guy has walked in there like he's been there forever. But the striker ain't done [ __ ] all for how long? Yeah, Madrid do stink.
But don't be surprised if they knock Man City out of that tournament. Yeah, it's Real Madrid and it's Champions League football heritage, mate. Do not be surprised if they knock them out.
Madrid play later tonight. They playing an hour and 20 minutes against Celt. They'll probably [ __ ] around and find out against Sila, but don't be surprised when it comes to that Champions League game if they beat Man City.
Listen, we need Real Madrid to knock Man City out so they can focus on the league, mate. [laughter] Hello Madrid. Is that what you're saying?
Absolutely. It's what it is. It's what it is, man.
Yeah. I'm not being naive, bro. Man said I'm being naive.
Arsenal will drop points, but so will Manchester City. We will go to the Etsiad and scam a draw. Yeah, I'm calling it now.
We will scam a draw at the Etiad. We'll beat Everton. Yeah.
Although that could be a banana skin. Bournemouth will probably scam a win just but one of them two games, Bournemouth or Evan could be a banana skin. The Etiad game, they'll be too emotional, bro, because they'll still be behind us.
But at that point, the League Cup final would have took place. And if we beat him in that League Cup final, it wouldn't surprise me if you're going to scam a one- nil win at the Etsy. If they beat us, it wouldn't surprise me the other way round.
This is why we have to wait for that cup final. Yeah, but all you're basically saying is it's too close to be sure. That's what you're saying.
So because of that, all season. So you need to Cup I think we'll beat him. League Cup, we beat him, bro.
Yeah, bro. a game at Wembley. One off.
So you're confident you'll beat them at Wembley, but you're not sure if you'll beat them at the 80. Even though Wembley is somewhere that you don't really go and City go to Wembley a lot more than you do. Yeah, because I I ain't seen my team win at their ground.
The Etsy had since I can't remember what 11 years, 10 years. City win at Wembley all the time, bro. City are pretty much at Wembley every year.
All the time. We've beaten them at Wembley with a better City are at Wembley nearly every single year, bro. And we've beaten them at Wembley.
I think last season was last season the first season they they hadn't been to Wembley in like how many years? Like eight years or something. Cool.
No reason why they won't win then. This is like people saying that the Premier League is better than La Liga. Cool.
No reason England every year since 2012, brother. My bad. Fantastic.
But it's like people saying, "Yeah, they lost to Palace. They lost to Palace. " Yeah, but they've been to Wembley every year for Yeah, they lost to Palace.
2012. That's nearly 15 years. Yeah.
14 years straight. They lost to Palace, bro. But you're confident that we can't beat them at Wembley, bro.
They couldn't They didn't beat us at our grand. Yeah. Now play us at Wembley.
Yeah. We've beating them at Wembley, bro. Yeah.
We've beaten them multiple times at Wembley since Pep's been the manager. We've beating them at their ground. Yeah.
They couldn't even beat us at the Emirates this season. Yeah. At their ground.
We I can't remember last time we lo we won there. What? 2015 maybe.
Yeah. Well, we will not beat them at their ground unless we beat them in that cup final. Yeah.
So, that's maybe a draw. I don't see us losing the game. Yeah.
They're poor, bro. But we're not great either. We're just better scam artists.
Yeah. Oneoff game. Yeah.
At Wembley, I'm confident we'll beat anyone. Yeah. It could be Barcelona in the final.
It could be in there. It could be Real Madrid. It could be you lot in the final.
I'm confident we'll beat anyone at Wembley in the final in a one-off game. Yeah. I've seen my team do it enough times, RS.
Yeah. I'm confident we'll beat him. Yeah.
At their ground, I'm not confident. Yeah. I'm not confident because it's their ground.
We don't win there, bro. It's like Anfield. We don't win there.
Yeah. As soon as we break that hoodoo, then we could go on and beat him like we did with you, Lo. How long How long How games was it until we beat you at Old Trafford?
Then since then, we've beaten you a few times since, right? At your ground, but it took years to beat you at your ground. Soon as you get that, same with Chelsea.
When we played, we used to beat Chelsea every time we played him. Yeah. As soon as soon as they got that.
What does that mean? So that does that mean? Yeah.
That now cuz we smoked you at your ground. Now the Emirates. Yeah.
We're just going to smoke you there every season though. Well, potentially. Yeah.
You've beaten us there. You beaten us there twice in a row, by the way. Yeah.
You beat us in the cup last year and you beat us in Oh, I remember. We beaten you in the cup though a few times. It's the league you lot were talking about cuz Lingard was dancing at your stadium as well.
Like we do win. Yeah, I was at that game. Cheers for that, mate.
Yeah. So, so yeah, we do win. We do win.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but if you if you go if you go in the league, we've only lost one game at home this season. That was to you.
Yeah, that was to you. You go in the cup last year. How many games?
But you can draw games. You don't need to. You don't need to lose these games.
This is the beauty, Lee. Because this is what I keep telling people. Drws feel less painful than losses.
Yeah. But the reality is the draws are the silent killers. Because the thing is, yeah, like brother, we've drawn one game and lost one game under Michael Carrick.
Yeah. And won six. But if we had drawn that Newcastle game, Yeah.
we would only have been a point better off. Yeah. But the the way people would have reacted to that draw would have been completely different to the way they reacted to the lost.
But you still drop points. And that's the difference. Like you can draw three games.
Yeah. You can lose one and win two, bro. And you're three points better off.
And this is why. Yeah. People keep talking, oh, we're not going to lose.
We're not going to lose. You don't have to lose, bro. You don't have to.
But we we play not to lose. Yeah. Man City is close to zero than it is to three.
Man City has scored the same amount of goals as Arsenal this season in the league. They got a game in hand, but they've conceded five less. So, we got a plus five goal difference on them.
Yeah, but five more. You mean they've conceded five more. Yeah.
Yeah. Right. But they've scored the same.
They've got Crystal Palace as their game in hand. Let's say that they beat Crystal Palace. Let's just do hypothetical.
They beat Crystal Palace 3-0. Let's just say 3-0. That will then be a plus two goal difference and four points.
But I don't know when that Crystal Palace game is. It ain't been rescheduled yet. So that could be after we play them at the Etsy.
It could be. But the thing is if you lose that game Yeah. what that does, we're effed.
Yeah. What that does to your confidence is crazy. And the thing is because your manager knows that you can draw that game.
He's going there to stink the place out. He's not going there to win Lee because he knows the draw's enough and he knows he can't afford to lose. At the same time, by the time we play him, you know, we could be even further ahead.
You could be we could have bottled it and we could be like teetering on, oh, this is a cloud. But this is the thing. Or it could be on a knife edge.
Like we don't know. And that's why we have to play the games first. We have to play the games first, man.
This is the reason why. Yeah. Like if football was as straightforward as you man are saying, then the bookies were brother they they wouldn't make no money.
Cuz if everyone knew what was going to happen in the games, [ __ ] me. We'd all be rich, wouldn't we? You know what I mean?
If he was putting on accumulators, but the house always wins, bro. So, it's all well and good looking at games and saying, "Oh yeah, that this is a win. This is a draw.
This is a loss. " We play against we we could be 10 points clear before Man City play West Ham. You could be play but you could also draw your next two games.
Yeah, but we play Everton at home half five. Yeah, but you could draw that and then you could draw they play West Ham away, bro. They would have just come back from Madrid, bro.
Yeah, but it doesn't that doesn't mean anything. Yeah, we're playing Leverkusen. What's the toughest game?
Let's be real. Yeah, but again, football doesn't work like that. Like 1 plus one don't equal two in football.
I've said it a million times. And both the flights ain't a million miles away. Yeah.
Obviously, Germany is a lot closer than than Spain in terms of flight distance. Yeah. But they're all on these VIP planes and it's like it's like getting in a [ __ ] hotel.
It's going in a hotel basically in it. It's like everything's perfect. Yeah.
But at the same time, they're going to they're going to have to go up against Vinnie Jr. Rodrigo's out for the rest of the season going to miss the World Cup. Mbappé is injured, I think.
Yeah. But they're going to have to go up against some players. Yeah.
Smoking Real Madrid, bro. They ain't smoking Real Madrid, bro. Real Madrid.
I've watched them all season. They're [ __ ] Came's missing the game tonight cuz he's got a two fake. Oh, it's the two fairy coming.
Do me a favor. Yeah. Yeah, they will beat Yeah.
Jude's injured. That's probably done him a favor. Yeah, they might beat Real Madrid over the two legs, but this is Real Madrid in the Champions League.
It's a different different vibe, bro. Yeah. And they know that.
And they've had enough battles with Real Madrid over the last five years in that competition. So, no, don't [ __ ] around because you will find out. No matter how crap Madrid are.
Yeah, they could beat them. They could beat them and they've proven they could beat them and they've done it. Yeah.
At the same time, yeah, they're going to get run more ragged than we are against Leverkus and away, bro. Yeah. These German league players ain't used to our corner set pieces, bro.
Like corner plays. They ain't used to it. I see I watch the Bundesliga with Matty all the time.
Yeah. These men don't have a clue how to defend corners in Germany. Yeah.
In Spain, they have our own idea. Yeah. But yeah, I'm Anchelotti.
I hear it, Pac-Man. Yeah. Right.
But at the same time, this is Real Madrid. Vinnie turns up when it matters nine times out of 10. Yeah.
When he really gives a [ __ ] and it's a big game, Vinnie turns up. Yeah. He was awful the other night against um they play the other night where they lost to Herafe.
They lost to Hatafe at the Bernabu bro 1 nil. [snorts] Yeah, slappage top wins. What's a goal?
He was awful, but now he's playing Man City, bro. Yeah, that's a big game. Champions League this and I don't know if you see the Gareth Bale um overlap video.
I just seen I've seen little bits, bro. Gareth Bale said on there he goes they care about the Champions League more than the league. Yeah.
The Champions League. Everyone's about Champions League. Champions League.
And this is why Vinnie Jr. ghost against Viao, Hatafe, and all these [ __ ] teams. Yeah.
Then when it comes to Champions League, Vinnie turns it on. Yeah. Nine times out of 10.
Yeah. And if you got Vinnie Jr. on smoke one night, Yeah.
you're on for a long day, mate. Because no matter how much you rate him or don't rate him, that guy does turn up nine times out of 10 in that competition. Yeah.
