Right on today’s Friday pod we talk about me bringing the game to disrepute uh Chris hits the bullseye War more ways the one uh and team of the week this week is farum find out Way hello and welcome to that pet crch podcast uh with the notorious Sid and Chris Stark this is the special Friday edition of the Pod uh we’re we’re recording this slightly earlier in the week so there are some games um TNT actually I’m doing a lot of them I’ve

Got a full line up of games this week before the Saturday games but we are concentrating on the Saturday games just B admin quickly y I see what you mean because it might sound unusual why we’re not talking about the games that have happened midweek but that for us right

Now is in the future hope that makes sense and we’re in a mystery location um speculate uh as you will it looks like a padded cell yeah I mean I feel like I’m in like Elon Musk bunker bunker room there has to remain a mystery yeah so obv please speculate speculate it feels

Like it feels to me like we’re in a weird kind of like someone’s put us in some cheese go on I saw do you know what I mean can you imagine someone you were a little tiny Mouse and you were submerged in Gray cheese yeah yeah I get it do you

Know what you’re reminded me of a conversation we had where so I went to Disneyland not too long ago for the first time if you’re lucky have to have gone to Disneyland you’ll relate to this but you go on the ratatouille ride and it is we both said it it’s the best

Ride there have you been on the Ratatouille no Euro Disney seen I mean is it’s my favorite Euro Disney if I’ve got if I got to stick my neck on a line I mean how how good is the rattit basically are the rat in a kitchen yeah

It’s all like your 3D glasses and all that so like you’re you’re in and then when they you get locked in the oven and then feel the heat turn up and then obviously this um it looks like the Cork’s about to pop and then it pops on

Your face and then you get water on you it is I I’m not on commission for the ratou ride new Ro Disney but I do very much enjoy I got agree mate it’s it’s really up there one of the best rides what’s the best ride you’ve ever been on

Sid it’s take an interesting turn it well just whil we’re here we might as well briefly explore we’ll go on to the football uh mine would have been in Florida Disney in the summer just gone uh you’ve been 10 Reef I’ve been to 11 yeah that’s exactly exactly no G

I’m uh there were some really good ones there uh the one that I’m thinking of was uh it used to be the jwel and Dragons but it’s changed now uh it’s in the top five roller coasters in the world is it really yeah I can’t think what it’s called though the Transformer

One’s excellent um but it’s not that one but it’s one it’s one in Islands Adventure or Universal Studios better than r two you reckon though I’ve seen the r two it looks very good I hope you get to ride it one day it’s um just on the mystery location that

We’re in right now interesting situation before we recorded this podcast where there’s a dartboard outside it’s got one of them little laser Rockies so it’s nice little setup and we’ve got into it haven’t we Sid we’ve basically gone right let’s get Bullseye yeah soort 15 minutes later both of us are refusing to

Come record this podcast until one of us is hit which obviously says two things one we are quite [ __ ] at darts but you know also the competitiveness of Steve Sidwell in these situations is almost infectious was it yeah could he wouldn’t let us leave well he got it first and

Then uh yeah I’m listen the darts are not great you know the weight of them darts is uh it’s not legal no it’s not legal require and also the laser was definitely not straight it was wonky was it it really can you have a wonky laser which surprises me because everything

About the mystery location is very state-ofthe-art and there’s question marks over the very interes location well you almost blend into the chair don’t you chameleon as such isn’t it you know it’s at that who you can do the whole podcast like that that’ be nice there we

Are all right so anyway it’s the Friday podcast carried away there welcome along this is where we talk football uh so just talking football can I just uh big shout out to a friend of ours uh Hugo owner of farham town yes they’ve won 19

Out of 19 League games wow this uh so far this season they’re in the combined counties Premier League South I believe it is but that’s some gu I think they’re the only team now maybe in Europe that’s n that’s FAL like clean sweep phen 100% record 19 out of 19 that is an

Unbelievable CH should we make them team of the week then we talked about doing this didn’t we we haven’t got one for today so let’s let’s get them straight in there good CH there we are far yep far on Town yeah and who is it Hugo Hugo yeah yeah nice guy

Congratulations mate is he the manager you saying he’s the owner yeah yeah there must be question marks if you own a club like that with that sort of record is down to you other clubs must be looking at it going like let’s bring him in let’s bring him in on an outputs

For the uh for the farm toown boys um okay so at the time of recording this there’s been a weekend of FA Cup fixtures there’s been all sorts of stuff happening klopp has announced that he’s going to be retiring at the end of the season not retiring hasn’t he come out

And said he’s gonna do um a year off something like that but no English teams ever and no other teams or countries for a year I believe that was uh at at the time recording the situation Tak so he’s taking a gap year basically Gap Yap yeah Gap because listen you know

It’s been done to death you know I I’m I’m going to see obviously I’ve got an allegiance to Liverpool like you know I could I suppose back it up in the fact that and absolute Legend you know of what he achieved at Liverpool how he’s transformed the club um into into

Something that everyone can get behind again it was absolutely incredible um you know love him as a guy obviously I’ve I’ve been had the pleasure of spending some time in his company as well and uh everything you see kind of uh on camera was exactly how he was off

It uh absolute gentleman um and absolute Legend and it’ll be forever remember what he did uh for Liverpool so um you know that was his shout out I Feel Like A lot’s been said about him um and that was our two pennies worth but I

Think he is right up there with one of the best managers who’s ever worked in the Premier League I think oh yeah huge Miss isn’t it to the Premier League next season and football in general he’s like infectious guy uh I was shocked we was playing golf wasn’t we and you told me

But as I was leaving you was like you had the news about CU so we had heard on the way I was playing with a couple of Liverpool fans and they told me cuz I don’t like to look at my phone but they told me in the way around and we were

All just stood there kind of with our mouths open thinking I can’t believe this and then we were missing putts and we were going that’s klopp’s fault that that’s the news about klopp like it felt like it affected our game it was that it was that kind of it’s quite unusual you

Don’t experience this with managers in general very often this kind of announcement that happened so far in advance um you know without necessarily rumors circling it was quite shocking and the announcement itself it felt like I mean he must be fantastic to break up with mustn’t he like the way he did that

Video even I felt like I was being dumped in some ways you know it’s just the sort of intensity but he worded it brilliantly and I was just watching this thing going like I’ve always struggled with breaking up with people you know it’s not a nice thing to do and it’s a

Hard one to word and you just think would be absolutely brilliant it it’s going to be interesting to see how they perform now guys how would it work with you guys do you think that galvanizes you does it does it put that does it make you miss

Putts what Mays that day yeah I was just cuz I was a bit I don’t know I was just a bit like thinking of other things you know I mean and um yeah I think it’s a strange time to kind of announce it but if he feels ready to announce it that’s

You know he’s earned the fact that he can do it whatever he likes it just felt you know they top of the league and you know why would you why would you do that but he’s got his reasons and are we to to judge that you know because he’s he’s

He’s ear the right to do whatever he kind of likes really yeah um yeah it’ll always be held in in the highest regard possible no matter what he does from here and then yeah yeah true you’re you’re right though is the way the news dropped it did feel kind of

Um very impactful didn’t it all right well listen you know won’t say too much about it I think there’s a lot been said about it already um but apart from an absolute Legend and a great guy but you’ve had a great week Chris again freaking H like I’m worried now because

That leaves me and you on nine points I’m on six you’re on five yeah so he’s he’s got a four point cushion on two more correct winners you had well I got a extra point for the prediction around the Watford Southampton draw you both backed Southampton I warned you against that I

Said it’ll be it’ll be a Watford win or a draw I did as comp compensation should they not win and I think I got that pretty much bang on early goal last minute couple last minut yeah it was frustrating because what you see with Southampton there is you see how they

Can make substitutions because they did put out a weaker team but they make they can make four substitutions and then absolutely changed the game Chang the game and yeah relatively last minute goal but from a wat for fan point of view very odd that for the 70 minutes of

That game was probably one of the most comfortable performances I’ve seen of Watford All Season really so you know I I actually enjoyed the game a draw is obviously a fair result in this instance it will go to a replay where I imagine Southampton will probably come out that

A bit stronger than perhaps they set up for this game but I don’t know it’s a funny one isn’t it because they’re doing so well in the league that the FA Cup is a tricky you know it’s I don’t think either team wanted a replay it’s a frustrating Replay that isn’t it but

Points for me most importantly there’s points for no no it’s makes makes it really kind of slightly nerve-wracking and going into these this weekend’s fixtures me and S need a big one I think you got yourself a lead yeah there’s some big games as well this weekend

Isn’t it yes uh that brings us nicely on to the next part of the podcast which is supported by py power and the big weekend fixture which straight into it it’s Arsenal versus Liverpool some game big big should be goals that’s what we’re thinking right should be goals uh

What was it only a few weeks ago wasn’t it that Liverpool beat Arsenal in the FA Cup it did it did take him a while to get the goals but they did uh they did beat them I think you’re right I think there is goals in this well yeah I mean

Liverpool not on fire with the goals right it was five uh last time out was it um Four Past Bournemouth in the last Premier League fure five past Norwich um they’re scoring goals at will uh Arsenal always capable of scoring goals as well um but I do fancy Liverpool in this one

Do you do well I think Arsenal went for a a slightly sticky patch didn’t they um you know feel like they’ve you know are they are they coming for it you they lost to West H to Fulham and then um and going into this game I think Liverpool

Would be favorites even though it’s a at the Emirates yeah and I think that’s interesting because for me that’s where it balances up slightly um that’s where it balances up slightly is the idea that it’s a home game for Arsenal uh when the fans get behind that team and the

Atmosphere is right I know there’s been a lot of talk around the atmosphere maybe not been quite the same as it has been last season um but it it’s it’s still I don’t know I just think I I personally think fit is a 5050 sort of situation so I’m actually going to go

For a a draw in this go for a draw I’ve gone for a two- draw and I hate doing that I hate sort of betting on a draw I think it’s going to be lots of goals yeah just genuinely don’t know who will Who will win that one all right the draw

The draw is 13 to5 a 10 gives you the total return of 36 decent see that sounds about right yeah well that sounds that they think you’re going to be wrong as well well no no what what score you going for well the Aral fa Arsenal favorites 11 to 10

Are they 10 pound gives you 21 are they really yeah Arsenal a favorites Liverpool Liverpool 21 to 10 oh right okay see I would have assumed Liverpool were favorites but then just the home home home thing maybe does have a bit more of a waiting in

This to tip into that which is what we’re saying van dijk’s back to he’s best isn’t he yeah he’s looking really good I know Trent out Robertson’s back he was on the bench other day against the worst thing is about that Fulham game is um

I uh I didn’t realize it was his first game back in a squad and I asked him for some tickets right so he’s been out for how how long you been out for and then I actually thought he might just ask someone else but then I’ve looked and I

Didn’t realize he was as his first game back it was like he’s I waited for his first game back and asked him for tickets straight away did he did he no it was a last minute shout it was actually for John yeah and um well that

Or he just for cheeky bastard he must have done must have cheeky bastard first game back for ages and he’s tapped me up so I apologize did you get the tickets or to no no I didn’t manage it oh it was only asking on the Friday or something a

Terrible idea but uh he just give me some more notice please and stop being a cheeky he didn’t really say that but you would have been within his rights to say that I thought um was that the game where Sturridge was um uh was on the TV and they were on the

Pitch I was stressed watching him because you know the right it’s chaos doing that isn’t it make pink scarf and the well this is his thing isn’t it he’s doing it a bit differently to to the others yeah enjoyed it yeah well I agree yeah I definitely had something thing

Doesn’t it yeah I mean I worked with him that night him and uh M Antonio in the studio it was weird cuz he was when I watched it it was like you and Antonio in shio and then St downstairs that’s right yeah cuz we’d been out the night before that haven’t

We and I remember saying to my Ms I I was like bloody hell s is on the TV like I don’t know how he’s doing that that’s something we don’t we kind of should should we dig down into that how how did you feel I was good I in the

Gym next morning I don’t know how you do that you’re one of those aren’t you cuz we stayed out later we Pete did the old uh the Irish goodby Houdini back door berti Hollow Man as we like to call it no goodbye uh no I just got off I

Should I was looking around I went um SC messing out I’m out I just I remember a message saying spped off I just I did text you say you know you did but it was yeah it was a back door it was a good night was a great night great night

Thought steady steady until the point where you look around and you’re in a small room singing old Irish M songs but with with full confidence I have to say what a what great night that was yeah there was one girl in there playing an instrument I I

Was blown away by it for one of a better phrase um small thing it was like back pipes but without blowing it everything about so it was quite an odd instrument because i’ never seen it before I assume it’s a very traditional Irish um instrument it’s like a bag with all the

Sort of sticks coming out of it she played this thing wonderfully but because me and SIDS were staring at this bag the whole time I kept catching awkward’s eye contact with her almost cuz I was trying to figure out the instrument you know yeah but because because it wasn’t like bag pipes and

Played in that way it was just it was it was an odd interaction you know what I mean to play if do if you do know what that instrument is please please get in touch I think the only other thing at the Fulham things they got a watch out

For the flags as well I saw that doing the rounds on socials you know just be careful yeah yeah yeah so you’re so so you’ve gone for a 22 uh draw two two two draw you’ve not said yours uh no I went for what did I go for

I wrote it down I think I went for 21 two1 Liverpool you went for a two1 Liverpool win two1 Liverpool win okay um I’ve also gone for a 21 win oh no so listen you change your L I should change no just stick to stick

To each other you just stick to your two one um all right then I’m are you changing let’s stick this I’m going to let’s try and track him back he’s gone for a draw we’ve gone for the win stick by guns we’ll pull him back and we’ll

Have a tense finale okay all right I’ll stick I’ll stick on that one then because I do feel like that’s going to be the score 21 well that’s that’s 21 21 22 what about 2-1 right I can see it now 21 in the last minute equalizer pointer we’ve not had this

Season where you boys stand to get three points can you imagine and then all of a sudden you steal those three points off us yeah so Liverpool are two1 up yeah in the 85th minute yeah and then like but if those [ __ ] don’t finish on this game I’ll be fuming because they’ve done

This to me in the past Arsenal yeah well going to pop up imagine one of them pops up but imagine one of them doesn’t that would be even more exciting for me love it if there is an equalizer and it gets disallowed oh it goes go back 2

Those bastards bring out VES little v v listen we’d have to get on the phone to each other there and just talk through the V situation as it’s happening live all right well I look forward to watching that okay then Patty power are offering a completely free BET

Eating vegan food I don’t think okay so you have you done this before trying to go green for one weekend um it’s an initiative that obviously TNT and Sky Sports are behind and it’s a great one will you be cycling to the game uh potentially yes so no great and

I guess it’s bringing uh certain topics into discussion yeah great okay it’s good I probably will have a burger at half time though yeah as long as you do it sustainably I guess I have not been briefed as to what this weekend is so I’m only reacting to

But I think come the weekend messaging downon no exactly you’ll have the messaging down and it’s a green weekend to um promote promote green climate change exact global warming you know these are Big topics they are we’re all I’m no Greta but I’m [Laughter] Trying okay so what game is so Everton Spurs so Everton at home okay against uh against Spurs um feels feels like after ever I’ve I’ve had a good good run feels like they’ve had a few um a few bad ones uh they’re winless in the past four Premier League games with three defeats

Ended um by their golden draw against Aston Villa in the last time out but they are at home I’ve always think they’ve got a chance at home yeah for some reason even against Tottenham obviously it was pretty lat lust against uh City in the FA Cup um and they get

Players back yeah I mean the horse bris I’ve been on the phone to him this week or her and uh they said they’ve been in the training ground this week and around it Spurs the horse whis was been at Spurs yeah they said you know feel good factors good there really

It’s it’s a good place it’s a good place there’s Good Vibes coming from the top through to the bottom yeah so okay um that might reflect on my score line but we’ll see yeah what you guys have heard yeah well I’ve actually been down at Spurs training around this week have you

I have yeah and uh just to clarify you don’t the horse whisper I look like a [ __ ] horse but I can’t whisper are we um are we all going for a Tottenham win I am yeah yeah are you yeah yeah go then shoot okay so really

This comes down to who’s going to get the correct score here for the points cuz we’re all going for the same you go first I feel like you don’t go first mean I mean I was if I’m honest I was edging on a one all draw I was

Edging on a one all draw I’m going to I’m going to go I’m going to go Spurs 2- n Go Spurs 2- what about you Pete well that’s what I had Spurs 2-0 yeah um but I will change that okay because we went F we went together on the last one I’m

Going to go 2-1 then 2-1 To Tot two1 I’ve gone Tottenham 3 Everton n yeah that’s pretty convincing that that’s a statement that yeah so do record what what’s that 2 N 21 3-0 yeah okay all right let’s Fire Let’s fire straight into man united West Ham then another great game it’s

Notoriously always been a good game I thought yeah I when I think of man united West Ham I always think of the one where like Andy KY a load of chances where they didn’t win the league oh and black won that was up Park and it was Upton Park yeah there was a

Load of chances was there and they didn’t the black they were in the black K black kit was it the black kit it was like gold M scramble scr was absolute carage yeah and in the end Blackburn won the league that’s what I was just thinking out but this one’s obviously

Old Trafford um very quickly on on man united in the FA Cup and the weekend just gone what’s your take on players like you know worldclass players celebrating almost like they’ve won the Champions League but it’s at Newport that was like I get it because it’s a tough like tough fixture for them there’s no no good can come out of it they’re expected to do them over I’ve played these games so many times and they’re under so much pressure at the at the moment the manager under so much

Pressure I kind of get it a bit and I actually I actually quite like the fact that they were taking it you know yeah it meant a lot to them it looked like is is tricky against I am no I was interested to get the tape I I was

Talking to you SIDS earlier about like I I absolutely love Newport with a passion I’ve got this weird you know you just pick certain teams that you don’t get to see very often I’ve been to a couple of their games we’ve spent time in you ourselves Rodney parade what was a pup

Ah the Amber bar I think it was called I might have got the Amber bar for Newcastle I had one of the best nights of my life in there and the fans were so passionate and they beating Leicester in the FA Cup I don’t know if you remember

That one yeah a really good Leicester Leicester team and um Newport seem to be one of those FA Cup teams that always progress and it’s an amazing day it’s the real sort of essence of the FA Cup I think with that club but yeah it was interesting watching that United game

And I thought the celebrations were well they obviously drew some attention online didn’t they yeah they did yeah yeah and obviously was it was rashford who missed that game was out in Belfast or something yeah there was it yeah reped ill all accounts yeah I know the full story I

Think it was there pictures of pictures of him in a nightclub something like that but I don’t know if you know obviously if he’s saying he’s ill he was ill I don’t and by the time this comes out it probably has been moved on it’s

Been dealt with as a kind of but those disciplinary things just on a wider Point taking it away from rashford um those sort of things where you’ve gone out on a bit of you know or you have gone out on a bit of a night out that

Kind of thing when managers then come out publicly and say oh we’re going to deal with it internally when they say deal with it internally do you actually get called into the manager’s office and get a sort of telling off or is it dealt with with intermediaries or no no no I’ve I’ve

Been in the manager’s office yeah saying like basically you know explain yourself it’s either an apology or it’s not isn’t it what was your thing would you just apologize um depends if I was in the wrong I’m big enough to admit that I’m in the wrong and I have been on

Occasions were you ever presented with picture evidence um I think that evidence was circulating in newspapers anyway well for instance obviously you know I always remember one that was in my I was my head was out of a sunroof um in in com out coming out of a bar um and

Someone had take a picture of it from behind and it was on the back page of Daily Mail and it was um how to impress Capello Pete I think it was in between might been in between games my head was at the sunroof and I was choing up and

Down thought I was away from everyone really but someone to take a picture of it and that was an IDE deal uh that was yeah that was an in-house discipliner matter big fine well I couldn’t really say it wasn’t me I was going to say that there’s no like sort of photoshopping

Going on there is there but what what what was I doing like was so when you have a drink isn’t it it’s like you get that invisible that sunroof though it’s not a good idea you know even if you were inito there can there’s not many

People that can do that I suppose in general just for the one second half of like the lads behind go out the sunroof that’s funny I just wonder if anyone listening to this has ever been sort of caught on camera like they’ve said to their work they you know sorry I’m Ill

Or I’m out somewhere or you know I’m not available for work and then they’ve got Center Court tickets wimber’s the one is it wimber’s the one is it imagine you’re be you know I’m Ill and then you’re behind the serve every time happened to a Dave happened to a friend of mine yeah

Actually last year said he was uh ill and he was seen walking with his misses genuine one walking with his misses behind the TV camera and they got him the wimbl walking out yeah it was it was when he’s walking out of all the timings as well they went to one of the

Reporters there and he was just doing the the update and they see him and these misses walking out problem is there’s cameras [ __ ] everywhere at wimon it’s like there’s cameras above it there’s cameras on the hill I’ve never done cameras you get caught in the back of the studio ones where you’re walking

Up the ramp there was there was similar story I think of it was a guy who phoned in six to work and he was an England fan and there was a photo of him on in the paper jumping into the trifala square fountains I seem you remember that one

Doing the round it h if you’re listening to this and you’ve you’ve ever been pulled up on you know by your boss or something there’s be some great stories of that we’d love to hear them oh get involved get involved what do we reckon man united West Ham giv us a score okay

Will you go first cuz we’ve we’ve gone first one0 what we’ve G the same same every time a bit suspicious almost well you know what we don’t look at them until we’ve placed them in front of each other I like one all go I’ll let you

Have that then one all all right uh what do you think I’ve gone West Ham 2 man united one I like that as well West Ham 2 man united one okay so I’m going to go that man Dave’s helping you now definite I swear down what what do you mean definitely been there

Definitely been sh I tell you I’ll tell you what’s is after being the person that did the forfeit I’ve decided to stop doing these where you go all the odds on 7 n are 300 to one or something oh come I have a piece of that I’ve um

No I’ve just started getting I’m doing this I’ve told you this half of the Season I’m going full missionary you’re plowing through are you missionary full Full Steam Full Steam it’s not pretty but it’s just going to it’s going to be very get the job done and you have a

Baby at the end of it get momentum at the moment no one’s enjoyed it but we we will have we’ll get there eventually come on then okay so draw 1-1 you’ve gone for a 2-1 West Ham win yeah yes I’m want to go I’m going to go man

United then I’m going go for a man united 2-n two home Victory wow so it’s all on the line there fantastic great all right then guys that’s WRA that one up should we get into I’ve got a big message here from an anonymous source um

I haven’t read this but I’ve got a nod of approval from behind the camera um I’m a 37y old Southampton fan but about four years ago my wife and I took the Bold step to move up to the northwest of England close to my wife’s parents whilst obviously remaining loyal to

Watching as much football up here too I’ve also started getting into rugby league it helps when your local team’s quite decent I went to a handful of matches last season picking up the rules and recognizing players and the way they play for my birthday just gone my mother-in-law decided decided to get me

My own Wigan Warriors shirt I honestly didn’t want to come across as ungrateful but she also announced that she had it printed saying but wanting to embrace the present I gave her a quizzical look not thinking she knew which was my favorite player she’s got the pet name

My wife calls me that has very little backstory honestly don’t read too much into it the number 69 on the back I love the shirt do I embrace people standing behind me or walking near me Whispering or questioning or will this always be one of those shirts to wear to the game

With a hoodie on over the top um and the picture of the shirt here um weenie is at the top and 69 below wow yeah I mean first of all the pet name weenie does his wife call him weenie yeah that’s the pet name but he it’s

Saying don’t read too much into this I mean how can you not what are we saying what’s the first thing that comes to your mind I sure I’ll be happy with my wife called me weenie no well no you wouldn’t no nothing good comes with weenie surely but but the there’s I

Can’t see any other context to that and also the pairing of weenie and 69 is a problem obviously for the back of the shirt but I think it comes down to the very simple uh question mark of intent your mother-in-law’s bought you this shirt is she s housing you she must

Be because and I would love you to ask her surely she knows 69 is also mom’s and daughters talk a lot yeah but we’re ignorant if we all think you know and I hate to take all our thoughts there but but you know our our in-laws parents all

Sorts all know what that is you know we like to pretend they don’t she’s not slapped 69 on the back of that shirt without having a little giggle to herself is she she’s not but she’s not she’s not and people just have to have an honest conversation are they as she

Has even been [ __ ] out by his mother-in-law yeah 100% does he really yeah I think so but does he wear it out that’s the question like if you got that on the back of your jersey and you’re going surely you going to hear the Snickers behind the thing is for me is

How many how many um times is you go to the games with his mother-in-law I mean he can put it on as he leaves her house maybe if he’s with her and then just get get the top over I mean you can’t you can’t be walking around with weening 69 on your bag

Sh you should get one for her printed 69 weenie in-law something like that and give it to her mother weenie mother oh I don’t know I think you’re going to have to have a tricky conversation there just look her in the eye maybe it’s on a Christmas or

Something like that maybe you’ve had a couple of drinks just look in the eye and go did you know I think you just got to get that cleared up in your head you know because you’ll always wonder yeah well you know what I’m I’m slightly looking at this this league that we’ve

Got here slightly nervously now you know we got to P our finger out yeah more yeah I mean I’ve what was I in front the whole way last time wasn’t I had a good lead but now it’s I can see what position you was in and I’m I’m nervous

I’ve just got to float the idea we don’t know what the forfeit is yet not really been discussing that but it’s going to be something potentially bigger than what I had to do mine mine was pretty big [Laughter] not looking forward to that all right also lad’s just talking of [ __ ] howery

Um I can we give a shout out to the upshot you know um the Twitter account that wrote the groam stack story that I read word by word yeah on the last podcast um basically what’s happened is I gave them a shout out um when we when

We were talking through the tweets the sound almost no one’s going to believe me cuz I’m saying it like this but then it got cut out when it came to the edit and all of that of this which is an accident and these things happen and we’ve spoken to those

Guys and they’re all cool um so we just want to give them a big big shout out just to really underline that obviously I was reading it word for word like it’s their thing and they’re brilliant and they made these stories and we need to

Now get gra stack on the podcast too y I will touch face with stack attack and uh we’ll get him on the Pod um and also for people that listening they won’t be able to see this but the ones that are watching uh just to clarify that this is

A safety pin around my neck and I’m hoping that production can possibly get a clip for me next week few bits of admin just to clear up there at the end yeah I have to wonder um about this podcast it’s just another thing to add

To the list I carried it well jumble one next week though way yeah I’m excited for next Wednesday’s podcast as well chumber wber everyone
