when you consider how Souness terrifies the sky team and how Dunphy and Giles don't stand for him. Love it. 'You don't know what yr talking about". superb.
It's so entertaining to watch - I love when they get annoyed. I think they all make valid points and I love their outlook. Souness and the two boys each make excellent points - Dunphy is the loose cannon but his problem is that he over-exaggerartes how bad someone plays but he still gets his point across.
Champions League is back on TV3 on Tuesdays...god help us. They'd make a 4-3 goalfest seem boring. RTE has the best punditry by far. You don't get these kinds of debates on BBC or Sky Sports.
Graeme Souness is actually a decent man.. signed the first catholic for Rangers and had no time for bigots. He also loved "duffer" as he kept calling him.. i recall him fighting every inch to keep him. Awesome player... terrible terrible manager.
Souness is class. Dunphy "you don't know what you are talking about". Souness " Where have you managed"?. Dunphy "I have stayed alive for 62 years" Souness " Well you have done very well then" lol
they did mention chelsea and liverpool, i think they focused on united because that who were playing that night. and plus they still have probably out spent the other teams.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. For what it's worth, I think Wenger has got plenty of money to spend. Arsenal make far too much money for him not to, he just chooses not to spend it. Now, if you fail to acheive your goals because you choose not to invest in trying to acheieve them, then you can only blame yourself. Wenger is a genius, of that there's no doubt, but that doesn't mean his judgement is not flawed. All genius' are flawed in some way......
i think souness assumes( because he has managed in the recent past),that hes more in touch with the modern game,maybe he is, but the old school version the boys offer is way better....
Fergusons had some misses in the transfer department (veron comes to mind), but when he's gone 4 big money deals more often than not he gets it right; rooney, van nistelrooy, ferdinand...and lets not forget he spent £7m on Vidic who is reguarded as the best CB in the prem this season and Evra for £5.5m whose the best LB in the prem. so to dismiss fergusons eye for a great player who can still develop, and asume he just throws money for a big name then i'm afraid its you whose deluded.
Stumbled across the video, it' now 19th of July 2014. I remember this match and analysis from the CL second leg, when United spanked Arsenal to reach the 2009 final. Looking back, it would be another 5 years until Arsenal won a trophy, the 2014 FA Cup, and another 4 years later until Wenger started splashing the cash on players such as Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Also to note, he sold the likes of Fabregas, Nasri, Song, van Persie, Adebayor, Toure etc. along the way. Imagine!!!
The great thing about Giles and Dunphy, they're always wise AFTER the event. They usually have one opinion before the game and a different one after it. Dunphy in particular deliberately exaggerates and sensationalizes just for the hell of it. Does my head in at times.
he said you cant win the champions league with a youth team alone. 99 team had jaap, schmeichel, cole, yorke and sheringham just to name a few. cole and yorke were brought in for big money, schmeichel was schmeichel, and jaap at the time, was one of the best defenders in the world.
Couldnt agree with you more.... oh dear god, we're gonna have to go through the post match analysis with trevor welsh again... now i KNOW the recession has hit!
I dont have a local team to support,im from killorglin in kerry,look it up if you want.i play for my local team. i disagree with what you said earlier about the irish being the only people who support other leagues and teams. what about america the home of franchises,where a team can go from city to city depending on how good the money is, That goes against everything Sport and following a team is about..
Souness was spot on here. Wenger has loadsa money to spend - any shareholder will tell you that. His ego is what stops him from spending the money needed to compete with the Man U's. If Giles or Dunphy did any research they would know this. Arsenal are a PLC and it is a major criminal offence to give false accounts or statements about their finances. According to their financial statements, they make a healthy profit.
The real question is where is all the money going to at Arsenal. 2 billionaire board members. top 10 deloitte revenue rankings - in the world. What the hell are the spending it all on, good food?!
Lol Dunphy slipped the trademark "Baby" in just before the end,the guys a legend but i agree with Souness on this one,Wenger just likes the kudos he gets for not spending big,its less pressure on him.
Arareflux, Most Irish internationals play in England, this is where the initial interest comes from. Remember English interest in Italian football when Gazza & Platt were there? As the best players play abroad, the quality here is poor, hence smaller crowds, however there is a good following. The major following here is with local sports, especially Gaelic football, eg Dublin sell out all home Championship games in an 82,000 seater stadium. I hope you understand, and have no more insults for us
haha.. giles never guided his team to any European Cups..and was routinely on the losing end in finals and leagues. He was a briilliant player but very rarely scored, created or dominated the midfield.. Souness did all those things as captain of the greatest British club team ever assembled. Souness was Rolls Royce player, incredible assist for 1978 EC winner..classy, yet hard as nails. Souness as the best central midfielder in history of British football.. awesome player, shit manager/pundit
There are a few things you should understand. Firstly, the Irish have massive ties with Britain, both in terms of our cultural and sporting history, whether we like it or not. Hundreds of thousands of Irish emigrated to Liverpool and Manchester during the famine, and we're a part of the history of those cities. Nevermind the fact that our top football players have always gone to England. Irish football is only semi-professional, and gets very little media coverage here.
love it when dunphy gives souness a growler dunphy is giving facts to souness but nothing else love it when dunphy says to souness you dont know what you talking dunphy at his best
Julian Dicks, Paul Stewart, Mark Walters et al can all attest to Mr Sounesses transfer market prowess, as can supporters of LFC who had to watch him take a world-class club (First Division winners 11 in the previous 17 before he took charge) to - well, nowhere actually. Does anyone really think that Wenger has £30m to spend and HE'D RATHER NOT??? I can only assume people still employ Souness as a pundit to make others look reasoned and thoughtful. Great player, but frankly quite weird.
haha that last night was hilarious! But i do disagree with the point of flamini left bcuz arsenal couldnt afford him! Thats bullshit! If they couldnt afford flamini then how would the big stars like fabragas, adeybour(cant spell) n van persie still b there?
30 million on berbatov 30 million on ferdinand 30 million on rooney 30 million on veron 17 million on van nistelrooy 17 million on ronaldo 15 million on vidic 11 million on NANI
So going by his logic if Ireland dont qualify for the world cup we shouldnt follow it as or team isnt playing. Try saying that to the hundred of million football supporters that will be watching it in 2010
You did have the finances, Benitez just chose to spunk them away on legions of shit players like Pennant, Gonzales, Sissoko, Crouch, Palleta, Josemi etc.
Eamon dunphy giving souness a jibe dunphy: you dont know what you talking about his, souness; where did you manage dunphy: i didnt manage any where i managed to stay for 63 years lol dunphy at his best
Dunphy is ridiculous. He would argue with himself, just to get headlines. He constantly stated that Ronaldo was rubbish last year, said he was all that is wrong with football in this day. Idiot!!! Ronaldo scored over 40 goals as a midfielder, top scorer in Champions League and World Player of the Year. RTE, shake up you act, get rid of Okey Doke Bill and Dunphy. Keep Souness, inciteful and honest.....and has experience in modern game
when you consider how Souness terrifies the sky team and how Dunphy and Giles don't stand for him. Love it. 'You don't know what yr talking about". superb.
Brilliant! Chalk and cheese compared to sky rubbish.
Souness knows there talking shite
Legends, every single one of them
carlsberg dont do football panels,but if they did......
"Can I make an assumption that there is 30 million?"
"no"
"Ah Bill"
"Ah John"
I loved how Bilbo would just wind them all up and then sit back smirking.
lol
BILL "sorry can i make an assumption?"
EAMON "no, no"
XD Priceless
how times have changed... £30 million wouldn't get you a championship player these days
Souness doing a thug life on it at the end 😂😂😂
@6:35 “Ah, Bill” hahahahahaha
It's so entertaining to watch - I love when they get annoyed. I think they all make valid points and I love their outlook.

Who did you manage?
I managed to stay alive for 63 and a half years baby!
What a legend lol
Graeme Souness is actually a decent man.. signed the first catholic for Rangers and had no time for bigots. He also loved "duffer" as he kept calling him.. i recall him fighting every inch to keep him.
Awesome player... terrible terrible manager.

Wenger is a genius, of that there's no doubt, but that doesn't mean his judgement is not flawed. All genius' are flawed in some way......
got a wee bit heated there toward the end - "where did you manage?"
classic!
i managed to stay alive for 63 and a half years baby.. classic
yes but a fair amount of those players were sold on for a profit or at least broke even,so thats how benitez has spent so much.
why do they long to be British??? please explain
The good old days sadly over now.
the best analysists ever!
i think souness assumes( because he has managed in the recent past),that hes more in touch with the modern game,maybe he is, but the old school version the boys offer is way better....
Fergusons had some misses in the transfer department (veron comes to mind), but when he's gone 4 big money deals more often than not he gets it right; rooney, van nistelrooy, ferdinand...and lets not forget he spent £7m on Vidic who is reguarded as the best CB in the prem this season and Evra for £5.5m whose the best LB in the prem.
so to dismiss fergusons eye for a great player who can still develop, and asume he just throws money for a big name then i'm afraid its you whose deluded.
yes i was comparing liverpools spending in comparison to man united, not arsenal no question arsenal have spent less than the other top 4

Imagine!!!
And Now Look At The State Of Things 👀
So in hindsight in 2023 who was right Graham who said the money was
or the guy who said the money wasn't there ?
The great thing about Giles and Dunphy, they're always wise AFTER the event. They usually have one opinion before the game and a different one after it. Dunphy in particular deliberately exaggerates and sensationalizes just for the hell of it. Does my head in at times.
he says in this day and age its not possible, things were different back then to be fair.
too big pitch?
an instant classic! ive never seen giles so worked up. thought souness was gonna hit dunphy.
he said you cant win the champions league with a youth team alone. 99 team had jaap, schmeichel, cole, yorke and sheringham just to name a few. cole and yorke were brought in for big money, schmeichel was schmeichel, and jaap at the time, was one of the best defenders in the world.
You forgot the "baby" at the end lol
Couldnt agree with you more.... oh dear god, we're gonna have to go through the post match analysis with trevor welsh again... now i KNOW the recession has hit!
I dont have a local team to support,im from killorglin in kerry,look it up if you want.i play for my local team.

cheers for putting this up, keep it up, RTE page doesn't work for people travelling... nice one!
Absolutely brilliant.

I miss Souness. Always great for a row
ill take ur word 4 it.
Fight!! Its was getting juicy.
The real question is where is all the money going to at Arsenal. 2 billionaire board members. top 10 deloitte revenue rankings - in the world. What the hell are the spending it all on, good food?!
souness was manager of rangers ( mo johnson) enough said.
Souness comes out here as an absolute gentleman with a pair of tinkers. And that's coming from a paddy.
Lol Dunphy slipped the trademark "Baby" in just before the end,the guys a legend but i agree with Souness on this one,Wenger just likes the kudos he gets for not spending big,its less pressure on him.

Souness as the best central midfielder in history of British football.. awesome player, shit manager/pundit
Exactly. Thats pretty much the same sentence i say to my friends when he's on sky or wat not
why did eamon have to go RTE the cowards making him retire fuck sake
Motorheadz, he managed 5 pints in 10 mins, a dumphy record
haha you got to love the RTE crew !
And Barcelona....
HAHAHAHAAAA..this is top quality ...Beeb pundits take note!
Vidic didn't cost 15 million, he cost less than 8.

Don't forget Blackburn
Well done, Graeme Souness. Well done.
check out Eamon Dunphy calls Apres Match "Fucking Stupid"...
love it when dunphy gives souness a growler dunphy is giving facts to souness but nothing else love it when dunphy says to souness you dont know what you talking dunphy at his best
Julian Dicks, Paul Stewart, Mark Walters et al can all attest to Mr Sounesses transfer market prowess, as can supporters of LFC who had to watch him take a world-class club (First Division winners 11 in the previous 17 before he took charge) to - well, nowhere actually.

Hahahaha fucking love it
giles did plenty,now you get your facts right.
Johnny and eamo taking souness to school
Exactly
Dunphy ratted Souness 🤣🤣🤣
dunphy is a hero
30 million on berbatov
30 million on ferdinand
30 million on rooney
30 million on veron
17 million on van nistelrooy
17 million on ronaldo
15 million on vidic
11 million on NANI
eamon dunphy said you cant win the league with youth system but look wat Dortmund did
German League Doesn't Count
Dead right
So by your logic we can only support a local team... that is so backward!!
you cannot build a football club up from a youth system to win the premier league "you don't win anything with kids do you Mr Dunphy?"
much better pundits than bland itv/ bbc
dunphy!! wat a fuckin legend!
So going by his logic if Ireland dont qualify for the world cup we shouldnt follow it as or team isnt playing.
Try saying that to the hundred of million football supporters that will be watching it in 2010
That was bloody embarrassing!
Liverpool have spent more than United in the last 5 years, check your fahcts.
You did have the finances, Benitez just chose to spunk them away on legions of shit players like Pennant, Gonzales, Sissoko, Crouch, Palleta, Josemi etc.
WTF.......
always entertaining!!
not like the fake rehearsed shite on the bbc
thats ture redknapp is a joke nill quinn was better when he was on sky
Eamon dunphy giving souness a jibe dunphy: you dont know what you talking about his, souness; where did you manage
dunphy: i didnt manage any where i managed to stay for 63 years lol dunphy at his best
Congrats to graham???? Are u people serious? This guy single-handedly ruined every team he managed!
yet again dunphy gets owned
Infinately better than the shite spewed by Redknapp et al on Sky Sports
chalkitdown :x
I hate the rte panel. Giles forgets everything. Dunphy is never happy and the less said about souness the better.
Dunphy is ridiculous. He would argue with himself, just to get headlines. He constantly stated that Ronaldo was rubbish last year, said he was all that is wrong with football in this day. Idiot!!! Ronaldo scored over 40 goals as a midfielder, top scorer in Champions League and World Player of the Year. RTE, shake up you act, get rid of Okey Doke Bill and Dunphy. Keep Souness, inciteful and honest.....and has experience in modern game
Omg Souness is such a waffler, Dunphy's right, he hasn't a clue what he's on about.
lol football?
A game where the winner is often decided by the team with the best crybaby skills?
no game at all.
eamonn dunphy is an institution
gaa bigot ?
doesn't matter how brill souness was as a player. still dont mean he knows more bout football than anybody.
