Love how Zabaleta always comes up😂😂😂
I'm sure it's deliberate but its so funny 🤣🤣
Yeah, get Beardsley on and Waddle on but please please please get Zabaleta on but don’t tell Micah beforehand 😂😂
And put Zabaleta's camera in Micah's spot.🤣
Beardsley and Waddle would be great but I would love it if you could surprise Micah and bring on Zabaleta
he wouldn't have far to travel as he lives rent free in Micah's head 🤣
😂😂 So true @@philippepalmer2968
Shearer and Ferdinand were unstoppable in that season they had together it’s a shame they didn’t have more🔥🔥
As a Blackburn fan I remember the talk of a certain Zidane was rumoured to sign, but you have to remember he was at Bordeaux, and around a 22 - 23 year old - certainly an unknown name at the time. Rumoured years later that the then owner, the late, great Jack Walker had come out with the quote, "why would we sign Zidane, when we have Tim Sherwood" once people knew who Zidane was 😂
Exactly this. Along with Dugarry, Bordeaux were looking to cash in on their stars.
Sadly Sir Jack Walker gambled on sticking with the squad that had won the league, feeling they had more to offer. Along with King Kenny moving upstairs into the Director spot, it lead to the loss of momentum.
Still, not bad for a small town 👏👏👏
Also, I loved Alan Hansen - I hope he's happy and well!
He’s not well, suffering from bigdichinassitus, no chance he comes on here
@@StephenCarrIsBald nah - him and Sir Kenny are playing golf, most days actually.
@@TheXJRMANjoke went right over your head
Before Robinho signed for City he actually thought he was going to Utd, he didnt know there were two clubs in Manchester!! True story!!😅😅
We all know that bro don’t act like you are breaking news
@@yoelpachuco6875 I wasn't 'bro'!
You seem nice! 😂😂
Most people that watch this properly won’t even know who Robinho is just remember he’s not on fifa anymore
@jordanbishop6793 and is a terrible person by all accounts
@@jordanbishop6793If you don’t know Robinho then you know nothing about football.
Alan's memory is a bit faulty, Newcastle did bid for Rooney at Everton before Man Utd came in for him, it was in the last days of Bobby Robson's tenure there. I always remember Craig Bellamy speaking about himself in the first person (edit - third person - duh! Thanks @AaAa-je5eo) when asked about what it would mean for him if Newcastle signed Rooney ("Craig Bellamy will have to do what's best for Craig Bellamy", or whatever he came up with :D).
Despite this, this is still my favourite Football podcast, it's not at all juvenile and sensationalist, unlike some of the other high profile ones.
Yup. £25m at least iirc
Third person 😉
it was just after we sold Woodgate to Real & SBR publicly contradicted either hall or shepherd saying we had a list of potential replacements, then the rooney bid was made - after they'd signed kluivert, apparently all 3 were boardroom decisions which led to sbr's firing
You're right of course. Footballers should try doing interviews in second person, that would be interesting.@@AaAa-je5eo
Jean-Alain Boumsong ended up being the replacement for Woodgate, didn't he. That one didn't pan out. It was amazing how quickly things fell apart at Newcastle that summer.@@andrewharrison7767
The Newcastle bid for Rooney was when he was still at Everton. The bid was rumoured to be made by Freddie Shepherd to force Man Utd's hand to move for Rooney (and match wages etc) (Shepherd's son was part-owner of Rooney's agency I believe)
ironic that Beardsley gets mentioned today of all days - it was 5 years ago today he was sacked as newcastle youth coach after an fa enquiry found him guilty of racism & bullying, he'll never get another job after that
Great shout from Micah. Would love to see Peter and Waddle on the pod:):)
Peter Beardsley is extremely humble. Was a top top player and he was small and agile he would be one of the best players in the league in the modern day.
Dogdirt.
Zidane was at Bordeaux
Yes was before joining juventus
Same with the rooney one, newcastle offered 30 million to everton.for rooney before he went to man united
They keep hammering Micah over Zabaletta, could be worse, could've been subbed off 1 goal short of the England record, for Alan Smith...
His own fault. He had a penalty to equal the record at the time and was saved trying a panenka
Love to hear when Pedro is on the pod, maybe get Zabaleta to keep Micah happy too! 🤣🤣🤣
My absolute hero Alan Shearer
‘Til you walked in.’
I thought we bid for Rooney at Everton 27 million but ManU came in with same offer . Fergy said this bid came a year too early for Rooney but he couldn't let Rooney go anywhere else.
Please get Peter Beardsley on the pod!!! That would be amazing! Great show as always fellas, thank you.
I feel like Shearer got that whole Rooney story totally wrong.
We sold Woodgate to Madrid and everyone was outraged because he was such a good defender. The money was arguably too good to turn down for someone who was injured more than they were fit and fans could have lived with that if we’d done some actually planning and had a replacement lined up.
Shepherd told the fans something exciting was coming and to wait and see. We then bid for Rooney (presumably planning on converting him into a centre back…). Man U promptly outbid us and off he went.
We replaced Woodgate with Ronny Johnsen on a free transfer who went on to have an illustrious career with Newcastle, playing an incredible three times.
We then spent most of the Woodgate money on panic buying defenders in January, including most of it going on Boumsong in a deal that was investigated as part of an enquiry into dodgy deals in football.
There was no point during Rooney’s time at Man U that a bid could have realistically been made for him by Newcastle.
Butchered that one, Al.
Fantastic, as always chaps ❤
This pod has the stories with a laugh a minute Thanks guys 👌
Micah absolutely clueless that Beardsley has been cancelled and there's no chance they get him on 🤣
This is the highlight of my week, brilliant 😎
I'm just picturing a post-injury & recovering Micah having a nice sleep & then he just starts twitching uncomfortably & mumbling "he's only a utility player"..."Big Meeks is 1st choice right-back always". 😂
Love this podcast you always put a big smile on my miserable face love the banter between you three guys ❤
Great shout from Big Meeks about Beardsley and/or Waddle. Would love to see them on.👏
Let's goo, always a great day when I see this being uploaded 😅
I was on a flight to Faro Portugal with Terry McDermott sat in front of me it was after Keegan had gone with king Kenny the then Newcastle manager , he must have nipped over to Villamoura for a few days as the season hadn't finished , you certainly knew who's luggage and golf bag it was as all of it had the Newcastle badge on it. As per usual brilliant episode .
For Micah we sang sometimes:
Hey Micah you’re so fine, score a goal in extra time, Hey Micah!
Because of his ‘burst on the scene’ late equaliser against Villa.
Not really one for the terraces though.
We bid for rooney when he was leavimg everton in 2004 having just banked £16m from selling woodgate to Real Madrid. Paul stretford was the agent. He went to man united and that was that.
I seem to recall that being reported, too. Newcastle were the first to go in for him before he went to Utd.
Bobby was in charge then, right?
Yeah he was. I worked there at the time we defo bid. If i remeber right we played norwich at home on a monday night and drew 2-2 and i think that was the day man u came in for rooney. Not a good day. Bobby was gone within week or two.
No they didn’t, they bid 5M for Paul ince and 12M on Kevin Phillips and both rejected the offer
@@StephenCarrIsBald🤣🤣🤣 ur memory must be as bad as kevin philips club selection.
@@iainchisholm17just because ince and Philips both rejected you doesn’t mean you need to cry about it
I love this trio.
We need zabaleta to show up on the podcast. Without micah knowing
Halloween episode
Would be legendary
But dont tell him & put zaba on screen where micahs meant to be
We bid for Rooney to display his market value so that Man Utd didn't have to pay as much and we got Nicky Butt in a sweenter deal was my understanding of it all. We definitely did not bid for him when he was at Man Utd.
Micah should be subscribed on the NHS, tears always rolling down my cheeks when listening to these podcasts, thanks guys
How do these guys not know their timelines? Newcastle tried to sign Rooney from Everton (not Man U) in 2004 and Blackburn tried to sign Zidane from Bordeaux, not Juve.
beardsley was amazing, happy respect being put on his name
Peter beardsley was a magican the 80's/90's version of david silva imho he was that damn good
Imagine if Newcastle got Rooney in 2004 and Owen 2005
By the time the toon win the league, they'll need a seance to parle with Mr Shearer.
feels like a lot of these questions are repeated, definitely heard the first one in a previous episode. also the ones about favorite goals / most important goals and so on
I didn't want this to end
The Rooney bid was while he was at Everton Alan, not Man U. The offer was accepted and then Man U put in a bid and he chose them. We had offered a couple of million more than them too
Speaking of fancy dress. Did Alan see DJ Mozey dress up as Kevin Keegan to DJ in Newcastle last year. Had the full Newcastle kit, tash and Perm wig on 😂
One of the quietest podcasts out there.
20:37 Micah's face xD
It was when Rooney was at Everton. 2004 I think as I was on holiday in Zante and read about it sat by the pool
Nyc to see Micah has a pic of Keane in his study😂
.micah Richards.....funny and honest. Comedy gold!
No Alan, the bid (or the rumour anyway) was when Rooney was still at Everton. He then happened to go to Man U instead. (I refuse to call them United ... there's only 1 United - Newcastle United, a 1-club city). 🙂
Christ had they gone to Blackburn they would have thought they had landed on moon 💥💥
In primary school I remember a rumour around Roberto Baggio meeting Dalglish, paid a restaurant a load of money to clear the place…😂
Micah,all about the Benjamins, a Calvin Klein deal.
I remember Alan's goal that was given as own goal, it came off french blanc and at the time i was saying thats ridiculous.
The interesting one with Newcastle was Ronaldinho before he went to Barca, there was talk of a swap deal plus cash with Laurent Robert
Robert didn't want to go and these were remarks on the transfer
"At Newcastle, Ronaldinho could play in the same side as me," said Robert, who has enjoyed a troubled relationship with both his manager and his teammates while on Tyneside
"He's the best player in the world and my friend. Why not him on the right, me on the left, and Alan Shearer up front." .
On the topic of Zidane Newcastle turned down the chance to sign him in 96 from Bordeaux for just £1.2m, apparently it was an easy deal to do, when they sent someone to watch him the report back was that he "has got no chance of making it, at best he could play for Wolves - who were bottom of the First Division."
a part of my heart died the day i heard quasi was leaving us and going back home.
peter would be great but i heard he retired retired.
Very eventful game that FA cup Final Gary.
You was Easily a yard onside for that disallowed goal, But Could of made up for it with the Penalty and then I guess you will claim to have put off Des Walker when Des headed in his own net, rolled away like you buried it yourself...
A cracking Final though.
love the podcasts, great energy from you all and some cracking memories.
The first question about Rooney was specifically about the bid Newcastle put in to Everton before United signed him.
It seemed at the time like Newcastle were doing United a favour as it played out like they were finding out his availability and what his fee would be. Rooney had been linked to United but Everton had categorically denied that they would sell him to United (this is all according to the newspaper and SSN reports).
Newcastle then bid (iirc) £23m, rising to £30m, which was accepted. United then matched the bid, which they had to accept because Rooney had been told they were letting him go & he didn’t want to go to Newcastle, and then the Newcastle bid just quietly disappeared and was never mentioned again.
Of course, this is just how it appeared to play out in the media, so it could be nonsense. It’s like saying United only signed Rooney because of that little kid holding up a sign at Old Trafford saying “sign Rooney please Mr Ferguson” or something like that.
That was what that question was about, not in 2009/2010 when Rooney put in a transfer request because he wanted assurances that the “rebuild” after United let Ronaldo go and didn’t cave-in to the sudden £50m price increase of Tevez, plus a few others, was going to be a quick one and not a complete four or five year overhaul as he didn’t want to waste his prime years at a club that knew it wasn’t going to challenge. United then won the league a few more times before Ferguson finally left.
Please never stop making these
Beardsley was before my time but everyone used to say he’s our greatest ever player, I used to watch the old videos of Keegan n that and that was almost 20 years before I was born🤣
Newcastle put a bid in when he was at Everton, not Man Utd, Rooney has said he would have joined Newcastle if Manchester Utd had never come in for him
11:35 - Not Craig Bellamy Alan? 👀🤣
If there is one player in English football who doesn't get the credit he deserves its Peter Beardsley. One of the best i have ever seen. Wor Pedro
i remember the zizou blackburn link heard ronaldinho too
As a Carlisle fan I'd love to see Beardsley on here.
12:54 Micah is in his Ys every UCL day at CBS - splits his trousers all the time 😂😂😂😂
Zindane was at Bordeaux(Gary being a lover so he says of wine should have known that😀)in 1995 before moving to Juve the following year.Real didn't happen until 2001.Motty would have known that
Would love to see peter Beardsley on here, such a superb footballer, never really see him on anything sadly. Wonder what a prime Beardsley would cost in 2024 ?
Get Aguero on, he has a great camera set up. Surely Micah can sort that out.
just watched that lineker offside goal back. Officials right I reckon 🤣
We need wrighty on
Great episode - including the bit about the Masters. You boys have got it sussed. Keep it up !
Would need subtitles if Beardsley was on the show 🤣
Definitely get zaba next as a special guest. 😂
Jeez, 20 seconds in and Gary alreay played with his nose twice!!
Love this show ❤😂😂😂💯👏👏👏😊
Peter Beardsley what a player, nearly as good as boro’s John Hendrie 😏
city will need that arena as i doubt they will get much income playing in non league football after they get kicked out of the efl
Get roy keane on it he would be a great guest 😊
Alan gor that one wrong , Newcastle bid for Rooney the week before man utd did
If Beardsley is going to be on, will Micah ring and get Zabaletta on also! 🤣
Although it wouldve only been a loan, it makes me laugh to think Messi nearly went to Rangers under Alex McLeish i think it was.
They decided to hold onto him and that was the season he broke into the Barca first team 😂
Question for Micah: When are you going to invite Zabeleta onto the pod?
I'm rooting for NUFC now
Get Zabaleta on the pod!
Get Beardsley on please
Surely the team have seen the pic of Alan where someone has photoshopped some flowing brown locks and the suggestion was he should go on MOTD one evening and act as if everything was normal 😂
when you getting micha vs zabaleeta on
need zabaleta on asap
They Said. Why buy Zidane when we got Tim Sherwood.😂
If you don't get Zabaleta on, when Micah isn't here - you aren't doing your job properly.
Shld do acollab RIF n Nevilles show
Only 1 big Meeks think fook. A love Gary like the da nAlan the uncle or older brother. Neville kean wright gr8. Wright shld be here tho. RIF Takes it
Get Pedro on 100%!
Zidane was in Bordeaux in 95 boys
Get Pablo on the show 🐘📥🏠
Will you be doing anything spectacular for episode 100?
Beardsley a legend still check out the satire podcast
Who was the one RB that England took to the 2012 euros? Zabaleta?
Probably Glen Johnson
We don't need Zidane, we have Tim Sherwood. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mate back in school didn't support a team he supported a player which was Peter Beardsley.
