Was Joleon Lescott underrated in the Premier League? 🤔
As a city fan he is fairly rated. For what city was at the time winning the first title.
He was average, very poor and shocking for England&Villa
@@iioreoyziioreogang7972Better than you though I’d wager 😂
Is it not time to retire the "what is high performance" question? It's pointless, almost everybody says exactly the same thing.
Really good episode, as a city fan was interesting hearing Joleon tell his story.
Joleon is so well spoken, really enjoyed this interview
“It’s when you smoke a joint but still put in a good shift.”
more sincere than many football player interviews
Class interview. Knew it would be after hearing Joleon speak on various other podcasts over recent years. Really respect the way he views the world and how humble he is. An excellent defender in his own right too, probably underappreciated how good he was, outside of the clubs he played for.
One thing to note though, for a man who holds himself accountable for his actions, he ducked the 115 charges topic way too easily. To suggest he's not educated on the topic is a major cop-out. He mentions other clubs spending money, which is fine, but it's about the source of that money which is the issue, which he very well knows...
Nonetheless, an excellent interview guys keep it up! (From a United fan)
What an awesome guy. Love Joleon. Very underrated :)
Why does every title have to be so extreme.
Damn, what a likeable person (United Fan).
Did Man City ever have a player called "Novody?" I don't remember that, I know all the players went there for the money because none of them (Jokeleon Lescott included) was actually worth the money they were being paid.
Annoying
Yeah, okay 🤣🤣🤣
Im not watching this, but every player who went there, went for money, until Pep arrived, but even then, money was a major factor
You know that’s not true right? You’re probably a Manchester United fan
@@Stockporttdo you really think robhino signed for city's rich history or they're world widesupport?
No of course he didn't just like every other player😂
Whether you admit it or not it's the truth
@pauldavies7251 No, but it was for the future project. It's what he says in the video
What a brilliant interview. You should do all you can to get Khaldoon on your podcast. Not sure he’ll agree…but if you don’t ask, you don’t get.
Lescott went from Everton lol. I am sure he would of left Liverpool for free hahah. 😂😂
Typical Mercedes. So unoriginal.
Let me be comment 13, they went there for money. Then the project, don’t fool the public
