PODCAST: Winter Break Special

Great pod. But damn! I've just thought of a great question that needs answering at some point :

We manage to get to a final this season and it goes to pens. It goes to sudden death. Darwin steps up - what's going through your head? 

What's going through your heart more like

He'd be one of the five takers so wouldn't be on sudden death, but that doesn't even matter because even if we were 5-0 up and he stepped up to take a pen I'd be a nervous wreck. Not because I don't believe in him, but because I know what I'd be facing if he missed.

Great Pod lads. On the penos, if your life is on the line then it's got to be lads that score even if the keeper goes the right way. They have to be capable and confident of going high and to either side.

Milner 

Trent 

Gerrard 

Molby 

Souness 

Alexis Mc Allister would have made the list if he ever took one. Beardsley, Whelan and Fowler would be close to the top 5 as well.

No place for Aldo, I think he would struggle with the analysis keepers have available to them. Plus he missed the biggest one he ever took.

That's assuming that Aldo wouldn't be able to mix it up, which I think he would. Other than Molby, he's the one I'd be most confident in.

On that logic you wouldn’t have Roberto Baggio taking pens for Italy when he’s the most successful penalty taker ever in Serie A and for Italy.

Too fucking right I wouldn't, my life is on the line.

All the shade about my goal kicks is perfectly fair, but to mitigate it:

- I can throw the ball further than most people can kick it. Huerlio Gomes modelled his game on me. 

- My penalty saving record was amazing, I saved 3 out of 4 I faced for TLW. 

I really enjoy those pods. Just easy listening fun. Paul texting at the end effectively pleading to be allowed go to bed still has me chuckling now.

It’s very affectionate shade mate. You know that.

Would he though? Mo, Virg, Trent, Macca & Jota for me. Darwin probably after Dom on 7th. 

He would cannon it off the crossbar, I'm convinced of it.

And I love Darwin!

Ok I've just seen a compilation of all his pens, he's not cannoning it off the crossbar..

Enjoyed that, thanks lads. 

One thing I can never get my head around is why the Premier League cannot enforce an immediate punishment on City for not submitting accounts (since 2018, I think). Surely they should not allow them enter the league if they haven’t abided by the rules.

I am presuming that it is a rule, otherwise why the fuck would Everton or Forest have submitted theirs for the past few years?

Good shout that. Took some proper crucial pens for us.

I reckon that’s the one they’re almost guaranteed to lose on. The other charges - who knows how the sly cunts might swerve then? That one though seems unavoidable.

They'll act like Amazon, 'we left the accounts in the PL wheely bin at the bottom of the driveway'.

Had a few beers when I posted that, not sure what I was thinking having Virg in there. Point still stands with the rest though!

Great pod. The golf story was hilarious 

Dave when he got back to the club house...

Brilliant film.
