When you see in the chapters "have you been to Horton heath" and "what is a heath?" with "Contes post match interview" sandwiched in between you know it's gonna be a wild show
This years relegation battle is great fun. More confirmation that leagues without promotion/relegation are boring and full of games that are meaningless. I'm looking at you "super" league
I always knew they were delicious but I hadn't ever actually bought them until they were on special the other day so I've been having the exact same thought recently.
If that's the most profound thing you've heard all month.. Jesus Christ.. "Kiwifruit" IS the better marketing. Or would you rather eat Chinese Gooseberries?
@@AholeAtheist Chinese Gooseberries sounds pretty cool honestly. If you think Kiwis have been pushed like an Orange in terms of marketing, you’ll be mistaken!
One of the most exciting podcasts in a long time…loved the contrasting personalities and how they each countered and supported each other..j j bull is my favourite though followed by joe..to be honest I loved them all😅
I love how Stewart Lee turned down Joe's offer of a drink with a simple "no". He was giving it to him straight. Like a pear cider made from a hundred percent pear.
Great video and analysis! Only thing I’d say is Florentino is not Brazilian. He’s Portuguese! He came through the Benfica academy and is from Lisbon. He should be picked for the Portugal national team but was left out unfortunately. Neves and Matheus Nunes were picked over him when hes in better form imo
Man City and Bayern should just relinquish the 2nd leg if the 1st is a draw. And like you said - Pep and Nagelsmann should sit in the middle of the pitch and watch a simulation of the 2nd leg play through on FM! 😂
We need a shorthand term for when a club sacks a manager and hires someone with not just a different tactical approach, but massively conflicting with what the previous manager had done and what the club had recruited for. Several of those mentioned in this video. Palace, swap Vieira for Hodgson. Spurs, swap Poch for Jose, and looking to swap Conte for Poch. Everton and Man United have been doing it for a decade. Needs a shorthand term.
Something like Galacticos but not. Referencing MBA-driven signing of players and mangers, with no actual idea of how they'll fit into any tactical system or culture, but will generate headlines from the prestige of the name of signing alone.
Still Waiting for an episode when Villa's incredible turn around under emery is discussed 😢 the fact villas gone from 17th to 11 points clear of 12th, thus out the relegation battle and are third in the form table since unai Emery's arrival is surely worth a discussion
Just don’t see how it is an incredible turn. He’s just got them to where they should be. They were vastly underperforming. It’s not some kind of footballing miracle
43:00 Florentino Luís is not Brazilian.. Benfica doesn't even have a Brazilian midfielder this season. But, he was expected to be picked for the Portugal national team but was left out unfortunately.
The fulham reds kinda saved us. Dont know how it would have been if we got the goal instead. Or mitro did not loose his head. We where poor before that. They where the better team before that situation. Sancho picked the best timeline
It was one of the worst implosions I've ever seen. To go from 1-0 up with pretty strong control of the game to 2-1 down with 9 men in what, 2 minutes of playtime? Absolutely insane
John does a very good job there as well, but admittedly the departure of Alex and the lessened appearances of Seb has brought the podcast in a very different direction. I'm not saying it's bad (far from that, in fact) but originally Joe's wackiness was balanced by Alex/Seb. Now you have Joe and JJ and John who all like to be goofy and go off track to varying degrees. Comedy is best when you have a "straight man" to play off of.
As a Tottenham fan I'm conditioned to feel bad after every season. It's not a new thing. However Poch did something very special, he made us hopeful and Daniel Levy ruined that. There was also a sense that Poch felt he could do better than Spurs at that time. After all these time right now Daniel levy should understand what he had in Poch and Poch should understand team like Tottenham is the place where his philosophy can translate. Bring back Poch, stars have aligned.
Conte have been great honestly He finished 4th last season and currently he's 4th you need better players to compete for trophies Parting with Conte will take Tottenham backwards for a while
@@yungdkay1008 tbf he was given the funds to buy players. And he did. Players he wanted. Most if not all were not incorporated into his team. Sure there’s crap happening behind the scenes as always with Tottenham but still. He has to take a huge amount of blame too. Constantly being a negative manager both in style of play and the way he is as a person does rub off of your players. Going fully defensive when leading against teams they should be blowing past by doesn’t seem very smart. To me at least
Conte achieving 4th last season and doing it again last season is not a feat. Our players are good enough to compete for 4th. So we are only fulfilling our expected trajectory.
@@dansanchez7129 remove harry kane and your team will be in the relegation fight Remove kane and You don't have a better team than west ham Be humble and respect Conte Pochetino won't do any better and you know it
Thornton Heath is horrible. After a f**king long cycle through the North Downs, I'm knackered but when I go through Thornton Heath the threat level goes us and try to speed all the way to Crystal Palace, even up those hills to get far far away.
Guys What's the difference between a "league team" & a "cup team"? People often say that Pep Guardiola is a league manager & Mourinho is a cup manager. I'm guessing this is because its primarily where their success lies with their teams over an extended period of time even though they can win both.🤔
Mourinho appears adept at building one-off game plans which takes full advantage of his opponents weaknesses and his teams strengths. To a degree rarely if ever seen. Pep appears to be extremely skilled at establishing and implementing a play style for a team that maximizes their points in the long-run, but doesnt always give his team the best chance in single games against top teams. His style is probably just not very adaptable.
JJ you broke my heart saying Florentino is Brazilian. He's Portuguese. He massively helped us win the U17 Euro in 2016 and the U19 Euro in 2018. I'm upset that Roberto Martinez didn't call him up for the Euro qualifiers... Why on God's green Earth do we need 10 (TEN!!!) defenders? Also, my family is in the kiwi production business. Much like Florentino, they're brown on the outside and 100% made in Portugal. Hit me up and I'll send you a box lol
The best example of amateurs imitating pros, for my money, is high school baseball players covering their mouths during a mound visit. There are no lip readers sitting in the dugout to give away their game plans, it’s just imitation (and that’s fine)
“Sp*rsy” isn’t a “curse”. It’s not bad vibes or juju. It’s the same phenomenon that everyone likes to talk about since Arteta’s Arsenal project: “culture”. And you have two managers who are specialists at building a winning team quickly speaking out against the very same culture of the side. It really does speak volumes.
@@Antonio-hb8rd Yeah. And on the other hand, the only thing they've kinda actually achieved is a CL final. And it might be an overachievement of sorts, going by the numbers, but they're not entirely unfashionable either. Go figure.
People defending Vieira way too much. Their tough run of games included half the league, if you can't get a win v half the PL teams then you are going down
Conte damages Spurs PR by having a meltdown? Good. This signals that Levy should commit to the club more and stop bullshitting the fanbase, otherwise they'll end up with an oil club and probably make Spurs more worse.
Feels like a lot of the players that were listed as 'poor back-up options' were exactly the sort of players that played regularly under Hodgson, when he finished with only 4 fewer points in his final season than Vieira did last season, in that 'amazing' season Palace had under him. 1 win in 16, 3 games in a row without a shot on target... You can certainly see why they thought it was time to move on from the 'Premier League Legend as a manager' experiment, I think the reaction would be quite different if it were Lampard or Gerrard that was sacked, but in reality it is the same profile of manager who got the job due to his standing as a player and it has not worked.
I think there's a real feeling that they've played well without joy but really, playing well has to include creating goals not just being pretty to watch.
Exactly, Viera gets a pass for the same things Lampard and Gerrard are lambasted for. Roy did a great job on a shoestring budget stabilising Palace as a Premier League club.
I think with real they needed changes. Within this summer/transfer window a revamp with the whole right side. I new RB/RW. Kroos and the older placements need some soon kroos wasn’t effective in slightest benzy look old and was doing much either
I don't agree with your fatalism re: Palace at all. The league has been in a state of flux. Brighton, Fulham and Brentford have shown what can be achieved with similarish sized clubs to Palace. You have a very snobbish, sneering, Top 4 centric perspective on football, which isn't the reality of the Prem this season at all.
Regarding kiwis, perhaps they would be better received if there weren't a need to shave them prior to eating and if, once they were cut, were not so slimy and slick as to resemble mucous.
I don't think they're all that great but what I will say is kiwi fruit skin has had really bad marketing. That's the best part of the fruit for me. All that fuzzy goodness is packed with vitamins too.
No, Conte is a checkbook, defensive manager. Arsenal like Spurs, can only afford unproven young talents or Man City castaways that want to play under Arteta.
Or maybe Paddy V went all Game Of Thrones actor and asked for money for players, and suddenly found himself recast as a 75 year old local boy for season 2
Benfica won't get picked apart because we're much more financially sound. We'll lose one big player for cash probably and Otamendi and Grimaldo are on end of contracts. But I would be quite surprised if we lose 3 players for lots of money. Also Florentino Luis is Portuguese/Angolan!!!! Not Brazilian 😂😂😂
I said hi to JJ in Soho and he was really nice. Asked him if RDZ would do well at Brighton and he said they might struggle a bit under him. Should've asked for a picture!
Feels like JJ is making less and less sense the longer this podcast series goes. I remember I used to agree with him quite a lot, but now he seems to make random conclusions I don't quite follow. Pochs team building was brilliant, from an arsenal fan, the problem was the club stopped backing him and stopped replacing players which meant he wasn't able to kick on and the players he had aged out. The problem was 1000% levy and that's why I was so happy when they sacked poch and started pursuing managers like mourinho and Conte who are the type of manager that win trophies IF given a top quality squad of proven experienced players that exactly matches his system. It was always going to be a disaster working with someone like levy.
The beginning of these new episodes still makes me question the concept of time and space. How do they know, what they are going to talk about. It can't be. Did they secretly invent time travel to make their podcast better?
As a man United fan I find the whole spurs/Conte thing hilarious as loads of people were crying that we didn’t appoint him after Solskjaer! Who’d have thought it would have gone so terribly for him apart from all his previous clubs!
On respect for the Referee: Andre Marriner was sent away from the touchline in an U9's match for being aggressive to the ref. Can't even get the refs on their side! Sunday league refs deserve far more respect that PL refs anyway imo.
1:03:05 If someone pulls the "where do I know you from?" just say you're a pronstar (LGBTQ or het whatever you feel will be most embarrassing to the person)
Oh my goodness JJs takes on Tottenham and pochettino are amongst the worst I’ve heard in the history of tifo. Was he living under a rock during that period?

And have it set up like Mystery Science Theatre where you see their silhouettes in the foreground while they play it on the big screen.
JJ saying Kiwi fruits deserve better marketing was the most profound thing I’ve heard all month
I'd never thought about it, but he's spot on
it's absolutely true. and someone has to come up with an easy way of eating them. they are delicious!!

Tottenham were more than a mid-table team with Martin Jol. Remember Mido? What a player. Berbatov, too.

Regarding kiwis, perhaps they would be better received if there weren't a need to shave them prior to eating and if, once they were cut, were not so slimy and slick as to resemble mucous.
You guys literally spent only 10 seconds talking about Milan-Napoli. It's quite disappointing
JJ predicting the Return of Roy hurts
Man, a podcast playing rocket league would be awesome! In the last one of the season everyone should be drunk.
Joe devine is clearly the van dijk of this podcast team
JJ is correct, kiwi fruits are amazing, as an Aussie is is sacrilegious to call them anything other than amazing!!! 😅
"Kiwifruit" is the better marketing. No one is buying Chinese Gooseberries in 2023.
Dammit, I jumped over to UA-cam to see if that early cut content was here instead of Spotify 🤣
I still don't understand why football have yet to enforce the rules rugby has regarding referees and player interaction
I've listened to that sound at 35:08 a bunch of times now and it just makes me laugh harder each time...
What the heck is that sound!
for one second I thought JJ is not in this episode, and I was like no way I would listen to this
Florention Luis is Portuguese
Joe - the word you're looking for is galumphing. In an uffish manner.
Great guest! Soft spoken, nice to listen and he knew what his subject.
pep won things tho, so I can totally see why pep gets away with it. Arteta won an FA cup and arsenal fans were not happy
I wonder if Chris Hamill will be added to this podcast squad. I sure do hope so.
JJ is spot on about kiwi fruit marketing
Nope. "Kiwifruit" IS the better marketing. No one is buying Chinese Gooseberries in 2023.

Why’s Birmingham the second city? It’s got a small heath.

Quick hypothetical question: How would Conte coach a teal like Arsenal and would they have been even more successful if led by him?
No, Conte is a checkbook, defensive manager. Arsenal like Spurs, can only afford unproven young talents or Man City castaways that want to play under Arteta.
Boys, boys - don't talk over each other. Please.
Is Woy the Boy just cheaper than Viera and if he's available why keep employing an expensive and ambitious legend for more relegation dogfights?
Or maybe Paddy V went all Game Of Thrones actor and asked for money for players, and suddenly found himself recast as a 75 year old local boy for season 2
I have never been to Thornton Heath, but I have seen Reverend Horton Heat
1:03:55 - this was absolutely hilarious.
Benfica won't get picked apart because we're much more financially sound. We'll lose one big player for cash probably and Otamendi and Grimaldo are on end of contracts. But I would be quite surprised if we lose 3 players for lots of money.
