J J losing the Rondo the first try every time is freaking hilarious
A eagleeeee! 🦅🦅🦅❤️💙
I fastforward to the Rondo whenever JJ is here just to get my dopamine fix before I settle in for the rest of the podcast
Marcus Rashford won La Liga before Kylian Mbappe
It's so jarring to see JJ Bull in a different chair.
To be fair, the most famous ficticious spy constantly tells everyone his full name
He's Joe Devine with a system to introduce the podcast guest's.
This podcast is so unintentionally funny I love it 😂
Day 1 of me asking for the Tifo whistle (like at 7:10) to be made distorted and bassed up for one episode
Set pieces became dominant *because* low and midblocks made scoring more difficult. Making set pieces harder to score won't just magically produce more goals. Hilariously, if you actually clamp down on grappling in the box, and enforce it over an entire season, Gabriel will probably win the golden boot...
17:32 Everyone keeps bringing up Chelsea but it's ironic in a 'spygate' segment when Liverpool literally hacked Man City's scouting database and no one ever calls that out. They paid it off with mere £1m and to top it off the director is back in charge! I guess some clubs are just more equal than others.
As an American I have never spoken the words “world cup” in that way, and would probably bully someone if they did
Steve Hankey is getting MUCH too big for his boots (or should it be booth?)
Obligatory hatred for Joe moving on too quickly from Scottish football… 😡😡😡😡😡
28:20 - John sneakily clarifies with Joe whether there are any more current Prem managers who were under 36 when they had their first game. This allows him to eliminate Eddie Howe ✅ He then brainfarts and answers, David Moyes, who last time I checked, was a current Premier League manager. Well done John, almost there buddy.
Describing Celtic getting a penalty after the allotted time as "unexpected" seems somewhat disingenuous and i say this as a Sheffield Wednesday fan with no dog in the fight
“a febrile into that jumps the shark”
John is wrong about his opinion on the West Ham goal, and he’s saying the same thing he said the last time. There has been only one similar incident to the West Ham one: White for Arsenal against Leicester and the goal was canceled. Secondly, you can’t call the Rice and Trossard fouls because 1) you have to call the West Ham foul on Havertz happening at the same time 2) they weren’t material to play at the time.
Recent loanees from The Times have been very good, thank you!
Hi, I like soccer and I’m learning English with you I liked this
