Good morning you lovely lot! We hope you enjoy this weeks episode. We’ve listened to your comments and gone back to covering every game. Hopefully Mark can join us next week. With his own podcast it’s really tricky for Mark to commit every week ❤
Thanks for the update. Tell Mark to commit! He doesn’t need his own podcast, he does enough talking on the United Stand 😅 The show is better with all 3 of you. Ben & Watto need to keep him in check 😂
@@KP-ue8rq have you listened to it? If not its much more of a pub talk setting with much more banter and ... than is suitable for most of Ben's followers I imagine. Mark is equally hated as liked while Ben only has people that like him on his.
@thecyclinggk hi guys love the videos content is amazing I just have one quick question why have yous stopped the super 6 segment where you and mark up the £10 per week ir even just done it for bragging rights I fought I was a great segment before the quiz
David Raya is actually shorter than you thought. He's officially listed as being 6ft 0in (183.0cm) That probably makes him the shortest first team keeper in this season's Prem. Weight wise you got it spot on, he's 80kg.
For all the grief he gets Fair play to Jackson for the goal and assist Just needs to become more consistently clinical if he wants to remain 1st team material
@@mickikongstad4325 bro they had 2 red cards. And the one against city is one he should be scoring. Look at the other city games and he missed SO MANY easy chances. If Chelsea want top 4 they need a prolific striker. Jackson is mid at best
On the goalkeeping stuff, can you talk about how Paul Robinson (GK) used to come really far off his line when the opponent would shoot from distance. Used to drive me mad as a spurs fan, have a look at Nani's goal in 2007 against him
Absolutely love watching you guys, look forward to it every week. Didn't think Fozzy would be the ex Man Utd player I'd be following the most all those years ago
Finally someone with a good take about Arsenal's forward situation, it would be such a huge transition in a position which was crucial in getting the 49/54 pts, 55 goals and 9 conceded in that 2nd half of the season. You don't change a position that wasn't a problem
Quiz question: Name a player that has captained 3 different teams while playing in the Premier league. Possible Answers: Scott Parker West Ham United: Captained in the Premier League (2007-2011) Newcastle United: Captained in the Premier League (2009-2011) Fulham: Captained in the Premier League (2010-2013) Kevin Nolan Bolton Wanderers: Captained in the Premier League (2004-2007) Newcastle United: Captained in the Premier League (2009-2011) West Ham United: Captained in the Premier League (2011-2015) Mark Hughes Manchester United: Captained in the Premier League (1993-1995) Chelsea: Captained in the Premier League (1995-1998) Southampton: Captained in the Premier League (1998-2000)
So when players improve or decline its not a thing to talk about then. All players get FIFA 24 stats and they are consistent. Geezes guys think a little bit before you embarrass yourself
@@LeperMessiah2 iprove or decline the player won a golden glove last season and these guys were were like meh we dont rate him enough... and where the hell did Fc 24 come from 😅
Hey there Ben! I’m just starting 11 aside but I have to prove that I can play in goals. I normally play striker or cm, do you have any advice for me to show my coaches? Thanks!
not sure if you know but the prem changed the handball rule again so its no longer the sleave but the airpit line (apparently its because some teams have shorter sleaves than others so rather than mandating a sleave length rule, they decided to make it even harder to make handball decisions).
Pretty sure some of the xg modellers said that XG really doesn't adapt well to counter attacks and overloads or something of that nature and thats probably why the disparity in the Wolves vs Chelsea game was like +4.6. Alongside some of the finishing from Chelsea being top class.
Poor start for Everton but with only 14 first time players available that's going to hurt anyone. Lost to two teams you'd expect them to lose to even with a fully fit team but it's a terrible start and won't help the teams confidence what so ever. Was thinking they'd be safe this season but I'm not convinced now.
Just paused to watch the bournmouth Newcastle highlights. MY GOD THATS THE EASIEST RED CARD EVER SEEN!! WTF. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLAMPING DOWN ON PROFESIONAL FOULS and WTF WAS THAT.
Transfer fees way off in quiz. Alvarez is £64m rising to £81m not £87m. Sterling was sold for £47.5m not £56m. Jesus was £45m not £52m and Sane was £46.7m. Apart from that excellent show. Good content and debate. Long may it continue. Always a good listen and watch.
This guy must be good at his other jobs because he’s awful at the quiz. The question with Forrest was a nonsense. He said they weren’t in the prem now. Ridiculous and the last one what a mess.
What’s crazy about Raya is that he’s much smaller than Ramsdale but he’s better at all of the things you usually associate larger keepers with: much better at claiming crosses and balls in the air, better save percentage in both open play and penalty kicks, and better diving range. Odd but very fascinating
This season looks so fun. Arsenal defence is still so solid, city are still city. Liverpool are playing great football, Chelsea money finally has an attack that is firing. And United still suck. Perfect season.
@@kieranm2514 bro their 2024 is only behind Arsenal and City. They went from fighting to avoid dropping into bottom 3 to only being a few points off fourth lol.
Not having this Arsenal don’t need a striker. They do. Havertz aint it. If they had signed Joao Pedro instead last year then they would be another level. They need a player who is clinical infront of goal against teams that can handle Arsenal.
Mark can’t do every week , he does his own podcast on a Monday too! We do the best we can with the resources we have. We shoot early on a Monday morning and don’t have a big budget to throw money around , so take your negativity elsewhere Barry. Researching, producing , helping with hosting and booking guests isn’t easy.
@@kevingates8339 I mean the defence was shocking but that game could of literally been any score. Still not impressed by chelsea and see them conceding A LOT
@thecyclinggk hi Ben I'm a huge fan of yours and I'm an autograph collector and it'd mean the WORLD 🌎 to me to have yours ✍️😉, I've also been subscribed for a long time too ❤👊. Thanks, mate 🙏

Appreciat it, don't know if others agree but in my opinion it's what makes this show better than all the others yapping about the top 4.

Loved the show but I have to ask Watto to please stop referring to Man United as Man U. It is extremely disrespectful to the club.
Feels like the tactical analysis and insight has gone up a level so far this season, especially from Watto. Love it.
Thanks for the comment 👏🏼
Ben Watto and Goldbridge are the trio we need. Bring it back.
David Raya is actually shorter than you thought. He's officially listed as being 6ft 0in (183.0cm) That probably makes him the shortest first team keeper in this season's Prem. Weight wise you got it spot on, he's 80kg.
Your listed as a SA
For all the grief he gets
Fair play to Jackson for the goal and assist
Just needs to become more consistently clinical if he wants to remain 1st team material
Like the club, he will make many eat humble pie.
he needs to score against the top teams. ive only ever seen him score against bottom teams and only slot in 1 or 2 rebounds against top teams.
@@randomsome1773 fair criticism, but 22 y o first season in the prem 14 non penalty goals.
@@randomsome1773 4 goals vs Spurs and a goal vs City ?
@@mickikongstad4325 bro they had 2 red cards. And the one against city is one he should be scoring. Look at the other city games and he missed SO MANY easy chances. If Chelsea want top 4 they need a prolific striker. Jackson is mid at best
Like the goldie recognition at the beginning guys will be good to see him back on next week please cheer him up a bit lol 😆
This is literally the only youtube football channel run by former players that is even remotely watchable! Lovely content guys, absolutely love it!
😂 aye cause the overlap is shite . 🤔
@@kevinmcnicoll8649 that it is lol
Got to give credit after a bit of passive agreesiveness last week, covered all games and gave them a bit of time too. Good job lads!
RIP Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Some of the quiz stats are in accurate.
Ipswich were away from the premier league for 22 years (2002-2024)
First question was shocking not knowing Fabregas without even needing the Arsenal clue
😂😂😂😂😝
Visit Rwanda.....was the most ironic sponsorship ever.....
On the goalkeeping stuff, can you talk about how Paul Robinson (GK) used to come really far off his line when the opponent would shoot from distance. Used to drive me mad as a spurs fan, have a look at Nani's goal in 2007 against him
No goldbridge get him on
*no Goldbridge, get in - FTFY
He dosent want to be on every week
He's a clown
He supports Forrest
@@alextv293 He should support Forest (or County) being from Nottingham but he's a glory-hunting rag
Absolutely love watching you guys, look forward to it every week. Didn't think Fozzy would be the ex Man Utd player I'd be following the most all those years ago
But Ben, you told us last week that Raya isn’t a top goalkeeper?
Finally someone with a good take about Arsenal's forward situation, it would be such a huge transition in a position which was crucial in getting the 49/54 pts, 55 goals and 9 conceded in that 2nd half of the season. You don't change a position that wasn't a problem

they was saying how average raya was last week
so true 😅
He replaced Ramsdale thats why
So we can’t appreciate when he’s made a worldie save?

Have the fellas forgotten that Arsenal signed Havertz as their straight up number 9 last season?
Ben Foster - The Cycling GK, This is amazing! I can't stop smiling!
About time Dave Watson appears on SKY/BBC/Prime/Major platforms too! Fantastic pundit. ✨
goldbridge is a pratt for ducking 2 weeks in a row
The insight from watto regarding second and third phase vulnerabilities was great 👍🏻 🤝
Great show
wait did u guys finally talk about forest and give us some props? wow lets go
😂😂😂😂😂 Big time mate
🇳🇬Loving the Arsenal jersey
Another great show 💥⚽
Thanks guys 👏👏👏👏

What a PHENOMENAL football fill-in
Didnt Kane also get 4 assists against Southampton in 2020/1
Yes he did! Pogba got 4 assists in the 21/22 season vs Leeds!
Pretty sure some of the xg modellers said that XG really doesn't adapt well to counter attacks and overloads or something of that nature and thats probably why the disparity in the Wolves vs Chelsea game was like +4.6. Alongside some of the finishing from Chelsea being top class.
As a Newcastle fan, we 100% did not deserve a point from that. Happy we got it, but an awful VAR decision.
We want goldbrige !!! Goldbrige or we riot
😂😂😂
what happened to episode 2 or dose the keepers corner count as football fill in now
Poor start for Everton but with only 14 first time players available that's going to hurt anyone. Lost to two teams you'd expect them to lose to even with a fully fit team but it's a terrible start and won't help the teams confidence what so ever.

Just like to say I’m currently ahead on the quiz board. Catch up
Great show lads!

RIP ✝️
RIP❤
Great show as usual fellas
Thanks so much mate 👌🏼👌🏼
Watto being 50 but looks 43 is crazy 😅
Great stuff lads! Good to hear Mark will be back, miss the banter with u guys!
Shoutout to Troy Deeney who thought Raya wasn't world class "in his opinion"
Raya wouldn’t get into every team in the world, thus he isn’t world class
@@kevingates8339 he starts over everyone but Alisson in the PL
@@kevingates8339 By that logic, there's only one world-class keeper in the world.
LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben i would love a collab with Ronaldo about old united days or soemething
No 'Back Ins' for the quiz!
Ben actually got 3 answers correctly on this quiz, which means him and Tom shouldve had the final question ... Recount needed!
Boaz myhill 🎉 he's still spoken about at hull city matches . We love him 😊
Everyone loves Bo 😍
@@thecyclinggk he's a legend 👏 still better than what we have currently
When did kane get 4 assists for son then?! Southampton away?!
We’ll have to ask Jamie 😂
September 2020
This guy must be good at his other jobs because he’s awful at the quiz. The question with Forrest was a nonsense. He said they weren’t in the prem now. Ridiculous and the last one what a mess.
Jamie is awesome at his job! It’s not mastermind, just a bit of fun 🤩

Get kloop on Ben!
Would love palace to go down after they are talked up so much from the media 😂😂
I JUST WANT MARK FOR THE QUIZ !

Chelsea have had one good half of football calm down

@@kieranm2514Cry, you wish we lost that game
xG is the most useless stat. If you're watching the game properly, you don't need xG to tell you about the chances.
Ben Foster - The Cycling GK, can we be friends
Joe Linton would be charged with assaults for doing that out on the street xD
where is Mark :o ? :(
Not having this Arsenal don’t need a striker. They do. Havertz aint it. If they had signed Joao Pedro instead last year then they would be another level. They need a player who is clinical infront of goal against teams that can handle Arsenal.
PAUL POGBA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pope yes he can do what you’ve said. But his kicking is utter shit
its not redbull leipzig its RasenBallsport Leipzig
and FC salzburg😆
Where’s Goldbridge? Missing him
Get Tom off he's terrible Where's Mark?

You are missing the Mark mate
Always miss the Goldbridge when he’s not on
@@thecyclinggk ❤️
wolves were unlucky. didnt they have 3 goals disallowed?
If you ship 6 goals you simply can’t consider yourself unlucky, and they had two disallowed
@@kevingates8339 I mean the defence was shocking but that game could of literally been any score. Still not impressed by chelsea and see them conceding A LOT
Ben- you look much better in a Arsenal shirt mate. Chuck the Tottenham shirt in the bin!!
😂😂😎😎
Get og on mark ben daveeeeee
Raya is average
great show ben finally with that depressing goldbridge gone ...always crying that guy
@thecyclinggk hi Ben I'm a huge fan of yours and I'm an autograph collector and it'd mean the WORLD 🌎 to me to have yours ✍️😉, I've also been subscribed for a long time too ❤👊.
Thanks, mate 🙏
Early
First
So glad to have a break from Goldbridge, he makes the show nearly unwatchable for me
Ah we love Mark 🙌🏼
Watches any type of football podcast, arsenal get glazed, turns off podcast
The show is far better without Goldbridge hopefully he ain't a permanent fixture this season.
Thank god no Goldbridge
