On tonight's show we're joined on the line by Pod Debutent Ryan Levis. As we dissect a pair of wins that combine the weekends of the results left Liverpool top of the league with six games left to play. We look ahead to a union with Andy Joe, Stupard and fat Sam's Liverpool B over at the Blinggren next Sunday. We'll finish in time and fashion with your listeners questions. Okay, let's begin with a review of the two most recent games, Liverpool 2, Sunland 1 and Liverpool 4 Tottenham nil. These are great times to follow the red men from an encouraging latter half to the last campaign resource limbin at seven. Nobody could have foreseen the improvements that have come this season. We have half of those in game remaining. We sit atop the Premier League. We have our fate in our own hands. The opening question therefore is simple, Jans. Are we going to win this thing? Ryan? Yes. Simple as that. I think I put this on my Twitter last night where I was out over the weekend and a good friend of mine. He asked me, "Did I think we're Liverpool going to win the league?" and it kind of caught me off guard because, you know, you spend the last two to three weeks trying to largely create some more Liverpool win the league. But I never actually stopped and thought about what I actually talked deep down. So when I stopped for a second and listened to my gosh, it was just straight away. You went, "Yeah, we are." Do you know what? The next two games are going to be huge. If we actually do the business against West Ham and City, then we go from having our noses in front of the full head ahead and that's going to be crucial, but there's something special brewing lads. I really feel it. So yeah, I do believe we're going to win it. That's very nice to hear indeed. Andy, what's your thoughts on that? Well, I was just saying for probably five or six weeks now we're going to win it. But those are obviously a bit of tongue and cheek there. And I was saying, if I didn't really believe us, but I think that weekend just gone there, that's torn me now. So I'm actually feeling like, and I'm fucking nervous even talking about it. Can you hear me shaking? Yeah, not what you mean. And I don't think I'm mentally prepared for it, if you do, at all. Just the way the blue spores away, you know. And we're ready, I'm starting to believe. What's happened? Is it gone from bravado to just Jesus? This might happen. It's so badly. I couldn't give you a straight answer. We're going to do this. I think we're second favorites now. I'm probably joint favorites. You know what I mean? It's 50/50. It can happen very easily. Very good, Jesus. Steve, tell me things. Um, for me, yeah, it's a tough one to call. For me, Son of a Land game was, that's when I set as, you know, my point when I start believing. And I probably did after the night of the game, if I'm honest. Um, Sunday was exceptional. I don't know, we'll get to that. But just to see us absolutely blitzed them made me think, you know what, it's six games. It's all it is. And it was Sunday evening, actually. It was Sunday night, probably when it actually sank in. And I sort of said to myself, this is six games. This is a very short amount of time to actually have to go on and, you know, do what we can do. Phil is trying to fix it in my mouth here. I think it's the mic, but I'm not sure. It's a mic. But no, I think we can. I think we're still, as Andy said there, I think we're still second favorites. And, you know, from that point of view, I'll be quite confident. The city game is what's going to be the title of the cider, I think. Okay. Having a stroke over there, don't listen. Phil, when you're finished, just take your latin at stable. Yeah, I want to believe we can win this. We can win this if we do something that's rarely done, win 14 on the spin. And that to me is probably the biggest obstacle to win in the league. I can't see. The games are, the city game and the Chelsea game are so crucial. We can't afford to mess up in the other four games. We have to win all four of them. And then what happens in those two games between city and Chelsea? We need to beat city and we need not to lose the Chelsea. Now, you look at our form, you look at where we're playing and everything screams that this team is capable of winning the league. And that's just mental. That is mental and that is wonderful. So let's start, look at the game itself and we'll start with the most recent game. And the statement of intent that was Brendan line up against Spurs, this was a balls out team. It was selected to attack and destroy and that's exactly what they did. The manager often has been the focus of criticism. He must take about here on the young. Absolutely. I'm quite surprised that he didn't use the Fartier Shui during the week against Sunderland and he stuck with a dime. I personally don't like the dime and I think it has its uses, but the trouble with it is when teams do play tree center halves, which a lot of teams can't attempt to do. But I was hoping to do it on Wednesday. I want to see him. He was still on Sunday. I was fucking delighted. And it was the right decision to bring Stair in and back in because he destroyed them and he frightened the bollocks out. In fact, the whole team, they frightened the bollocks out and the tunnel. And he's quoting things that they're saying on Skye, but you're kind of thinking it is where they're looking at the players and the tunnel thinking, "Jesus, we're such a mental edge here." And they're coming out and they aren't going around. You can just see that they just have such an edge over them. And when you play a formation like that, it just comes through. It just blossoms. And they were destroyed, Steve. They were absolutely destroyed. Poor little team. He was in ribbons afterwards. I mean, you have to give credit to Brent. Yeah, absolutely. A hundred percent. I couldn't stop laughing. When the camera kept on panning to Tim Sherwood, I could not stop laughing. It was brilliant. The poor bastard didn't, he just was sitting there going, "What the fuck am I going to do here?" He just looked so out of his depth. And he is. Well, let's call this baby, these pants and sore spores. They were absolutely pissed poor. And that's because we made them look like that. We genuinely went out from the first. And listen, a goal within a minute and 40 seconds will always give you a bit of a boost when you've got your home crowd there. But even if we hadn't got that, I think we were winning that goal by three or four goals. We were winning that game by three or four goals. Just the lineup did it for me. I started to get a little bit nervous. Maybe the day before the game, I was thinking, "Shit, imagine these fuckers came here and got something from it." But as soon as I saw the lineup, I just said to myself, "You know what? No, there's probably..." You could even see Paulineo during the week coming out and having a little dig about how much he's getting game time. And all of a sudden, he has a virus and he's not in the squad. You know, little things like that that you're just thinking, "There's just stuff isn't right with spores." And it was great to go up and take the three points and lay down a statement of a tent, especially after the other two teams dropping points on the Saturday. Ryan Admiral will stop from Rogers in terms of the selection, Shirley. Yeah, it really was. In fairness, Norway, could you not have had played bold filler and Raheem against that high lane? It was just crying out for the two of them. But also, I think when you just look at the differences and how he adapted from Sunday midweek to the weekend, I think that for me just epitomizes where Brendan is at right now from, you know, knowing that Sunday we're going to sit deep and, you know, play into diamonds. So we patiently build up in the edge of our box to the difference when we patiently build up in our own half and hit him hard in the counter against spurs. I just thought it just epitomizes where he's at right now and it's a real joy to watch him be so fruitful with us at the moment. At no stage, or am I wrong in saying this? Did you feel anything but confident around during the game? I mean, what about that? Well, it was a tuna lop and Ericsson had his chance and wanted to be here, wasn't it? Well, I did stay. I'm watching Liverpool this year. It's the case. You need a tree goal cushion to be feeling comfortable. But, you know, that tuna lop, even a tree in a lop, you're just just gives you that bit of breeding space because if you're tuna, it was shown in the Sunday game. Tuna lop and when I went 2-1, I was never so nervous watching him at. I don't think I ever cheered so much for a troll. And at the end, when Suarez latched it off to Sunderland defender. Yeah, I was confident. And I think that's all where what the difference is being two goals up in three. Yeah, for sure. Looking at, unless Phil did you want to say something about that, we move on to the players themselves and have a look at Mignalei and the center halves, I suppose, as a unit. Pretty solid display. I go, no matter what you say about him, he seems to have an organising effect on that defence. We're just talking about clean sheets and the like. Skirtle making these incredible blocks now almost on routine. Mignalei was at least one wonderful save. Maybe two, I think, top match sets. It was just where the doctor already fell, wasn't it? Yeah, and I think there's something that we've missed and something we haven't really commented on as well on the part around it is that in the big games that we've played this year, we've defended exceptionally well. If you take it away from all the games across the course of the season, we did denoted with a clean sheet, we've gone to Old Trafford, kept a clean sheet, we did Arsenal, we did Everton at home, you know, take away the city and Chelsea matches which were away from home, which we did concede in. We've done spores again with two clean sheets and you just look at it and you just think to yourself, you know, when it comes to the big matches, defensively were actually quite sound. It's almost that they turn off slightly in the lesser matches, the likes of the Sunderlands and the whole lot, because they have so much possession, they have so much control to the matches, and there's less sort of nerves there because they're expecting to win, whereas they know they have to win in the big games and there's more pressure on them to do so. Minnule has put in big performances in most of those games, and again he comes up trumps. It screams to something that we talked about a good word about, is that when we signed players, we appeared to have signed big game players, and even the likes of Agran Skirtle from back when Rathwell signed them, they were big game players, they came in and were expecting to play in big matches, and now we're into the six biggest games of the last 10 years, even given the position that we're in at this stage. And that's where I'd back them in terms of looking at the potential for what we can actually achieve this season. Minnule himself, he had a phenomenal game for, you know, the stuff that he hasn't done well all season, he was quick with his distribution, he was very accurate with a short distribution. He only went long three times in terms of balls across the halfway line three times in the whole game. He was just one, he just seemed to exude the type of goalkeeper that we were saying, can he be on the day? And then similarly, now I will say, Spores playing Sildad on Sildad away, or me, that's fucking candy in a sweet shop for kids for Skirtle and Agran, they're not going to try. Sildad was not going to try to bully them on any stage, they just lapped that up, they were able to deal with them all game long. Yeah, I mean, we always go on about having a partnership, and it's no coincidence when you develop the back four that's played a few games in our two to two centre halves, you start to get clean sheets, no coincidence now. I think the weekend did for the small bit because Sildad was, I mean, he was mostly about me not playing, you know, apart from the time when his skin dagger, which was a real worry, I mean, I don't think Sildad was quick. I was pulling the card, I was like, unbelievable, unbelievable time. But, you know, he'd rave about Agran, you know, like a fucking hold me handle, he's not being the best at the moment, but what he does bring to the team, I think, is an organised. He's stepped up to the plate, he's the voice captain, when he comes in, he does feel like he's a bit of a leader, and you know, I think his communication, those organisations are better. And he's a bit of a leader, he's an army and a better shape, he's led us down a small bit, and it would have no objections to cycle coming in, even though we're having a couple of clean sheets that have no objections to cycle coming in. That's quite a statement for me because I know you're a big fan of Agran. Yeah, just like maybe next season, you know. Did that just scare the shit out of the end? Yeah, I was quite frightened at that level, that I'm kind of taking the silver, our agrero, these back, you know, doing that to our end of them. I kept asking myself afterwards, could it be explained as a one-off? Well, I don't know, I just seen the paradigm gone, and it's about 50-50 here, Agar's ahead of me stronger, he should be having no problems here. But that was incredible. I would have thought of it as a once-off myself. To be honest, even during the game, there was no other point in the 90 minutes where anybody, you know, they did, you know, they were trying their best to get down the flank, and he's gone out and covered on a few occasions. But at no point did somebody burn him, and as we say, so that was not the quickest. And I think it could have just been the way he went to tour, and just got flat-footed. And, you know, at this elite level of football, you know, a two-second drop in terms of being flat-footed, or not getting the tour, and quick enough can make you look like you're fucking running backwards. You know what I mean? Certainly did. Yeah, and he did in that instance, and I would have been worried. I thought, shit, has he pulled a hamstring here or something, you know, as he got tweaked there, but he played on fine, and I wouldn't be overly worried about it. It's not something that he gets exposed. You know what, he's a very smart defender, and he didn't leave himself to be exposed by pace. Exactly. You know what I mean? He doesn't find himself in that position. Jamie Carrieger used to have trouble with getting caught by lads who had a bit of pace on him, and he would leave himself exposed for them to get in and buy him more around. I don't know how I agree with that. I mean, Carrieger was the master of reading the game for me, that, you know... Tyrionry had agreed with me. Tyrionry, Tyrionry, in a way or so, a few times. And you've seen him at like Barnall Hall and other people like that as well with him. He had the, like, Lukaku last year for what it's brought. You know, I'm just saying, Agra doesn't tend to get himself flat one-on-one when it puts him behind him. No, it's not a position he often finds himself in, and Agra is as much as I like him. The one weakness he's always had is when he's able to comfort his own, it's when he struggles. If he's, you know, if he has to chase a player, like if the fallback is beaten, he's able to comfort his own, he panics. Yeah. So I think what happened there was he panicked. You know, and you'd hope that's all it is. You know. Listen, we shouldn't be worried about it for this weekend anyway, because, you know, apart from Eddington, I don't think they have an... I could be wrong on that, but I don't think they've announced a pace in their team apart from Eddington. Who is now actually with Stoke, isn't he? No. You forgot. Don't you cut that. I don't need to get rid of that one. Say, say Jarvis. It is my Jarvis. I don't know, I don't know if Eddington's with Stoke. Sorry, but no, like my Jarvis is someone that might, but I can't see West Ham having any real pace through him. They're going to play with Nolan and Carol. Yeah, you know. You're completely dismissing this. You're a downing threat, which will come to the end run. Andy, Jen. Have you somewhere to go? Ryan, just to bring you in this before we go away from it, that moment aside with Agor. I'm starting Skirtland. Skirtland was wonderful blocks. Were reasonably positive, I think. Yeah, absolutely. Jesus, the performance was so good at the weekend. I actually had forgotten about that moment. Agor was isolated. I think it really shows that when he is exposed, that's one of one of one's situations. That's when he's in danger. But I think in general, there's just a fantastic overall organized feel to us at the moment. We're just in the zone with everyone knowing their roles and look at the end of the day, I suppose. Skirtland and Agor are very experienced players and they know that right now it's a time for utmost concentration. So I think we're just benefiting from a collective concentration from the whole group as a whole. Everyone just understands the gravity, the situation we're in at the moment. This is a title run in. I think that's why we've seen overall defensive improvements. There are one or two lapses. But overall, definitely things have brightened up because people are really clued into what's at stake here. Let me keep you there. Speaking about things brightening up, Glenn Johnson certainly has opened his game of late. And when you have John Flanagan on the far side playing as well as he's playing, that's a real positive too. Isn't it right? Absolutely. No, it definitely is. To fair to Johnson, he really has got it together at the right time for us in recent weeks. Again, at the weekend, he was very solid. He played a massive role in that first goal. That was very crucial. But then to be fair, it wasn't that I wanted defending to do against sports on the other side of things. They had all the freedom, the world, down their wings. But when they had the ball, they produced Flanagan. We saw both sides of John Flanagan where his two absolute crunching tackles. And then you saw Flanagan with the turn that sort of continued going on. And I'd say what have we become when John Flanagan did a cry of turn in the middle of a title run in? You know, that's just crazy. It's a real moment that isn't it, Ryan, that you're going back on, hopefully. Absolutely. That, no. He really has a team for sports on the after the goal against sports. Yeah. Fairness to him. Absolutely. Andy Glenn Johnson, nice to see him stepping up another little night. Yeah, he's brilliant. You've got a hard time here. So let's suppose it's time to be sort of gave the absolute, you know, and gave him credit. I think it's probably that since he's come back in, okay, the shaky game, the one he came in. But it's probably four games in a row now. He's starting to grow and grow every game. Again, he wasn't probably wasn't tested quite defensively. He was during the week though, and he stood up well. So it's brilliant. And it's a kind of a player that you want, kind of starting to come into form at this stage of the season when there's so much at stake, because he is experienced. He's won a league. You know, he knows what it's like. He knows the feeling. I mean, when Johnson's playing well, when Johnson's playing well, he's one of the best. He's one of the best right backs around. Yeah, when it happens. With each success of excellent performance, all this talk about Flanagan being comparatively limited and, you know, a good squad player, it becomes less and less relevant. And he looks like more and more like a guy who could be a fixture. Yeah, absolutely. There's no reason why he's, you know, John Flanagan's in that team on merit. It wouldn't matter if Jose Enrique was back from injury now. It wouldn't matter, you know, if Ali Sasoko was, you know, to be fair, I was here a few weeks back saying Sasoko had done reasonably well. You know what I mean? He was quite solid and dependable, but there's no two fallbacks. I'd rather have at the club playing right now than Johnson at rifle and Flanagan that up. And that comes down to Johnson having stepped up. You know, listen, as much as I'll give Lads grief on here in terms of players, be the first person to stand up and say, okay, you know, if I was wrong on somebody that I've slaughtered like I was with Sasoko early in the year, or with Johnson who got slaughtered just because he deserved it, to be perfectly honest. He's had some great games in the last few weeks and he deserves the praise that he's going to get now and hopefully in the next six games he can keep that running because we badly need him. You know, he's an amazing, when he's on his game, he's an amazing outlet. You know, the runs that he's made for the first goal yesterday and the goal for Henderson's pass for Suarez to equalize against Cardiff. You know what I mean? No other fullback that we have would make those runs. And that includes Flanagan and anybody else. And that's an amazing outlet. When your team have gone narrow, especially if you're playing that diamond, and you're playing someone like Sterling at the top of the diamond, and you knock in the natural width that he brings by Hogan, one of the touchlines, to have Flanagan stuck to one line and have Johnson stuck to the other line and neither of them afraid to bomb on and get involved in the actual attack. It's essential to what we're doing as a team at the moment, I think. Absolutely. Phil? Yep. Yep. Okay. I'm going to come straight to you, then, talk about Phil Coutinho. We spoke recently about him being a real threat with regard to his set-pieces and maybe not so much from what we play. Probably you could say that that was almost reversed there against Suarez at least. He was pretty wonderful from what we play, wasn't he? Yeah. And I was one of the ones that said last week I would have left, continue to decide to use Sterling's pace and have Allen controlled midfield. But again, I come back to what I said a few minutes ago, another big game player. Every big game we've played this season, Coutinho has torn up and he's torn down the show. And again, he does it against Suarez. His goal, I remember Steven Brown giving out stink about the fact that he was taking shots all over the shop, and I remember a couple of us said, you know, eventually they're going to start going in. And when the deal goes in, he's going to be paying attention from 24 yards. His shooting has gotten better as the season has gone on. And the fruit of it was that goal after the wonderful torn, as we said, by Flanagan to create the space to open it up. He's just, being the type of player he is, he's something that completely different to what we have. He's almost a Barcelona style player in the way that he sees the game and the way he plays the game. No, for a second in my brain, I thought you were still talking about John Flanagan. This shit's gone too far now. I was like, oh no, Coutinho, okay, I can get back on track now. We're going to look at Corinna. What's going on? What is this meant to pass to none of them? I wouldn't put it pass on. Sorry, go on. Yeah, I recommend Barcelona to replace the four bucks to the outside. I've been talking going into a place down the aisle now, is it? I know, but he just sees the game a bit like the way Alonso used to see the game. He sees things develop before they develop and then he's able to replay the ball. And when you come to big games where space is at a premium, he's brilliant to find in space. Sometimes, you know, we've talked that he's disappeared out of order games. That's an age thing. I said it months ago. I said it months ago as well about Raheem Sterling. I remember when Sterling came back into the soil and said, look, we need to give him a chance. These lads are going to have peaks and troughs because they're so young. And that's natural. It's the same as Sterling. Sterling's going to show a golden moment at the moment. Don't be surprised if in six months time when the new season kicks off, he has a bit of a dip again. They can have troughs all they wanted to be in the next season. It's an excellent game. I know, but that's literally where we are at the moment. And that's what's magical about Coutinho. He's had a little bit of a down spell. And it now looks like he's finding form again. As you said, he didn't play particularly well against Cardiff, but he provided two assists that he had on the day. And again, we go into this game and where it's not so much, you know, immediate assists. It's just the space he creates. He drops into the park of the space. It has so much movement with Sterling Suarez and Storage in front of him. And then everything opens up. He reads and he sees and he plays. To be fair to him is I thought his touch on his first time passing against Sunderland on Wednesday. It was absolutely magnificent. Some of it, you know. And I know we were texting around amongst ourselves. In my brain, I must be watching a different game to some of you lads because, you know, there was a bit of stick coming from the way we were playing football. But some of the little interchanges and the speed at which we were moving ourselves out of awkward situations, even in the second half. I know we got a little bit nervous, but the speed at which, you know, our players now are receiving a pass, head up, finding somebody with either a one or two touch movement. And it's moved on. Bang, bang, bang, bang. And it's gone and it's accepted. It's what we used to jizz our pants for watching Arsenal a few years ago. And everybody we go now, they're so great to watch. They're brilliant. And that's us now. And I don't care what anybody says. You know, we have an exceptional team of players now that hopefully will continue to improve and that we can add some proper quality to in the summer now. You know what I mean? And that's what we have. We have a basis now. We don't have three players pulling us through games. We have a collective group of players that are just great to watch now. You know what I mean? And it's brilliant. One of my favorite thing about Coutinho is this use of small spaces. You know, sometimes like if a player gets the ball and he's being closed down with two players, they just lose it essentially. They panic and lose it. He seems to be able to just hold onto the ball and give other players a chance to get into that little triangle where you can just lay it off. And there's not many players better at the moment. He understands this Roger's game. Like the interesting thing Roger said in his post match conference there. The players know when and where to press. That's what's important about this pressing game. Because I'll be here all season. It's pressing teams pressing. It's comfortable as well. It's pressing, pressing. But Roger has the team when and where to press. And Coutinho is brilliant at it. Defensively he's brilliant at it. And also when teams are just pressing aimlessly, he can take two three players out of the game with a pass or a touch. You know, he's brilliant at it. Yeah. Yeah. Ryan, it's fair to say then that Coutinho was pretty spectacular. And his charm, Ryan Sterling as well. Well, Sterling, I was Sterling. He's been something else and fairness to him. But in terms of Phil, just from my main grip with him before over Christmas was sometimes he had this tendency for just a necessary attempt of an impossible true ball all the time. But thankfully that's kind of out of his game now and we're just left with the genius. And that's the main thing. And I think over the last two games he just really has found his consistency which matches his ability. And when he's in that sort of groove, he really is. There's no better player to watch than him when he's like that. I definitely say at this stage, I say we're the hipster team for all the continent people. You know, what Dortmund has to watch? Like Coutinho, we're starting else with him. Yeah, I should perhaps describe me as an awesome today, I believe, apparently. Absolutely. The successor to Brendan right there anyway. Yeah. There was a few misquotes in that though. There was a few teams floating around today. I think all the way, I think all the way. Realness. Realness. Yeah. Fucking realness. All that was retweeting some quotes. Like there's only one team playing back in Europe. Then I said them all on the sliver pill. And I read that thinking, fuck what he designed. That sounds a bit weird. And as it happened now, someone just made that up, you know. So not so much as misquoted, but just totally fine. Well, I think he was asked about Liverpool or something like that. And he said that he's happy to see them probably playing Champ's vehicle on next season. And then somebody decided to get their Mickey out and finish it up. Why are it right after that? Well, Ryan's sticking with you on the subject of Ryan Sterling. Jesus, he's a strong wee man, isn't he? Oh, isn't he? And he fucking knows it too. Like, you know, his transformation and how he's phoned his feet in the past for months is just remarkable. I mean, when you think about it, under no circumstances would you have trusted him to play a century last season? But no, he's just so confident and realizes he's more than capable for this level. And he's oozing into a little superstar. He really is. And his strength is just fantastic. Like the way he held off Dembele was the most amusing thing I've ever seen. It was brilliant. It was great fun, wasn't it? It was genuinely great fun. Yeah. Not necessarily. And what I mean by that is, I've been one that's been actually calling from to be involved in all of the matches so far. But I just have to stop pretending that I have a fucking clue what I'm talking about compared to Brendan Rodgers. He hasn't got a thing wrong in many, many a week now at this stage. So I don't have to trust him. He's using that Alan Coutinho and storage trail because Henderson is never present as is Jared. You just forget about it. And as our storage and Suarez, so it's two of them three now. And whatever way he wants to use them, I'm just going to back him. Because you know, Alan was able to come on and change the tempo of the game and change the way we played yesterday. You know, being able to bring Coutinho off gives you something completely different to being able to bring staring off the bench. So they just are, we have a very small squad. We have to remember that the money we spent during the summer, the guts of 40 million has been nearly unused in terms of any of the points that we've picked up for. Zachos played a few games. But other than that, you know, the other players have had absolutely zero impact in terms of what we've achieved this season. So you have to give them credit for such a small squad, what we've achieved and where we go. And, you know, if we can hit top three with that squad, it's an amazing achievement. Never mind the title challenge, which we're all hoping for, but it's just exceptional. So I just, I have to trust them. But the one thing I'll say is at the end of last season, I was very critical of Sterling in terms of the fact that he had no upper body strength. And he was actually giving away stupid free kicks when he came on through the way he was, say, jumping for a header, or the way he was, you know, nudging his way into people. And we actually conceded a couple, I need to go back and look, but we conceded a couple of goals at the end of last season, which were directly resulting from free kicks that he gave away. And I went fucking bananas to fail, especially. It was not crazy at the time for just needless free kicks being given away by a player who was just tactically not thinking about what he was doing, just running around like a headless chicken. And the difference in him this season has been mind-blowing, and it really has. He's an exceptional player. And yeah, he is going to have little drops, as Phil said. He's going to have, you know, there's going to be peaks and troughs, but, you know, that'll happen. He's an amazing talent to watch grow over the next few years. Yeah. Probably not grow. Well, probably not grow. Andy, for the old books, like myself, it's kind of reminiscent of Kenny just throwing the R set and holding lads off. And like the way he was just toying with them, they lay there. Are you happy enough that it's going to be two from three there? And you just trust Brendan's judgment on the run. Yeah, when it comes to choice between continue all and staring. He's getting off staring. Yeah. Yeah, you're going to feel disappointed that sometimes we don't see Sterling playing. I mean, I don't think Alan does be a huge loss of the team if he's in or out. You know, he shares a function and he does his job well. You're a big fan of him. I'm not really, I haven't really taken to him. I think we're seeing one Alan last season, a different Alan this year. So I don't really, I haven't really figured out what he is yet, you know, for us. And continue can have poor games, but Sterling all season has just been sensational. You know, so when I see him not playing him a bit disappointed, but I'm not a fucking manager Liverpool and I never will be. Don't be so hard myself, honey. You know, you know, Roger's is the owner's brilliant. You know, we've all had to go over and talk until much, but like it's different when you're talking and actually doing the job as well. I mean, he's doing what he said he'd do now. You know, so like you just have to trust him at that stage. Phil, as a man who does have a lot of time for Phil, sorry for Joe, you're happy enough with any of the two from the three in the way. Yeah, it's again, I'll come back to what I've said repeatedly on this, is that we shouldn't be afraid of having a squad and we should be able to understand that the manager is going to pick players based on how he thinks he's going to set up the game plan. We're going to debate what we think the game plan should be and how we should set that team up. But at the end of it all, continue comes in. He's able to do a fantastic role in that midfield when they have a tree set out there, which is slightly different to Joe Allen. You go away from home. I like the fact that Allen is very good at retaining possession. Very good at that passing and nipping and nicking the ball. And continue to do that to another extent and Sterling is exceptional. The one thing that I'd love about Raheem Sterling is his aggressive defence in their toward, in the final toward the pitch. He doesn't let players come out easily. That chance that Laurie's pulled off that wonder side from, like, Sterling's on top of him. He gets the ball and then he's in and he, you know, it's just phenomenal across and it's a phenomenal side. I actually thought it was a poor finish by the swears in the end. He over thought maybe had he gone high, he would have scored a ball. It's a great side from Laurie's. It was one of those, like, it was 50-50 between letting the drop onto us for, or else, ahead of me. But if he's gone ahead, he has to plant his feet in. You know, he has a quick decision to make there. You know, he's very unlucky. Look, I'm not, I'm not, I'm just being hyper-prepared in terms of finish. I don't know. I mean, the proof was in the save. The save, the save, come up off his hands very quick onto that bar and down, you know. So he had power on the header. Yeah. But it comes back, as I said, again, to what Sterling has brought to his game, which is relentless, aggressive pressing of defenders. Simmer to the way that Suarez goes about to pitch just pressing anyone he sees in front of the ball. If he sees somebody with the ball, he goes and presses them, by the way. Sterling is very similar, not so much so. He picks his time to go and press. And I find that Allen is brilliant at that pressing in the middle toward and robbing possession and regaining possession for us and taking control. Again, it's a squad game. It's going to be a squad game. It's going to be a bigger squad game next year when the champions leave because we're going to need at least another nine players good enough to come into that team because you're going to pick up more injuries and you're going to have more games to play. And as I said, we cannot be afraid of players not playing every single game and also really good players starting on the bench and being able to come on and have an impact on the match. Yes, that was a perfect example. We get trained it up and we're able to make the changes. The changes the way we then approach the game. We're able to take control of the possession of the ball more, see out the game and then we've got the fourth goal as well. So, you know, it's those type of things that you've got to commend Rogers because he's also learning as he goes along to say he knows which players he trusts. He knows when to put them on the pitch. I was critical of his in-game management earlier in the season and that in-game management over the last eight, nine games has been a hell of a lot better and he's grown for me. He's grown immensely as a manager and Raheem Sterling is probably the symbol of his growth as a manager for me. He's gone through a trough and he's brought that kid right the way back up to the top. Sterling has gone as one of the players that England will have in their World Cup squad and is a potential to light the World Cup up. In fact, I'm worried that England might do really well in the World Cup because you have the hugs. No, no, no, no, no. He reminds me of when Rooney went as a kid. I think he could have the same sort of impact for them in the World Cup as what Rooney had. Did he score a goal against Switzerland in the World Cup? I don't know. Years ago. Well, I never cared. Look, he's just absolutely buzzing. He's loving his football and the whole team are loving their football. That's why we're seeing these performances. They're just loving it and Brendan has his softwares. He has some softwares real to the way Sterling's fucking running down players like that. I mean, you just don't see that on the other managers. They were built one to lake more than anyone. More than anyone. You look at Chelsea as a city. They didn't fucking want it. They kind of want it. They want it. If they get it, you know, that's the way it is. It's kind of expectative from at the start of the season. But Liverpool are hungry and they can sense it all. Like, they can sense the fans. They can sense the balls around the place. They fucking want it anymore. There's no one deserves it more than Liverpool at the moment. The Sunderland match on that result was, to me, another watershed game. It was one of those games where two won that last minute chance that Sunderland somehow miss and you just think to yourself, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, this could be. It's that Olympiacus, that tour goal against the Olympiacus. All of a sudden, this thing is not just the daydream anymore. This thing is here. And the level of confidence that they took to the pitch against sports is federal. You could see it. Sterling hadn't started for a couple of games and he comes in and he is flying. And he wants that game. And it's the same, it's the same with Gerard. Just the sheer naked desire in this team not to give up the chance. Do you know what? If they fail, so be it because they're not going to go down the road for you. And that's a brilliant thing to say. To be fair, I don't think there's been a player or many players in that squad that have wanted it more this season than Martin Skirtle. Yeah. That's, you know, for a fellow who was in the bin in the summer and he really did look on the way out. And he's got his chance and he hasn't looked. Yeah, you know, he's had a couple of, and it's even more credit to him that he's had a few OGs. And he's had a few fucking ropey games. And you know, he stopped the dragon-held players in the box. He's come on leaps and bounds as the season's gone on. And you see him now as soon as a chance breaks to somebody, he'll put his balls, his face, or anything else he needs to in front of that ball to stop it. It doesn't matter where he fucking is. He will break his arse to get over and put something in front of it. Okay. Well, let's move along there now to the next day, to the next people we want to look at. That's Henderson and Gerard. I'm telling two men who are not going to be affected by squad rotation in any way. They perform barring a suspension for Stevie. How did you feel the two last time in the day? Yeah, well, they're certainly not going to be affected by rotation. At this stage, they are the engine room of our attacks. Well, I love about Stevie at the moment. There's just, and we saw it against Sunderland in his celebration for the gold. There's just a glint in his eye where just where he's celebrated was like, "We're going to have this. It's just, you know, and I love that look about him now." He really seems up for it. As for Hendo, to be honest with you, I just love watching and playing so constantly. John, from where he was two years ago, I've always been a massive fan of his. I just think that he knits everything together. We have all the great quality of Petinho and Sterling and Suarez and Storage are front, but he just brings it all together just so well. And his presence and his pressing is just a massive benefit without even realising it sometimes. And I just can't wait, you know, he was fantastic and Spurs again. And I can't wait to see him running all across the continent next year in Europe because where he can go under Brendan's managerial stuff. You know, anyone can guess that he could be a really top player for us. For sure. I think you're not on your own in that interpretation. Steve, do you think that we're seeing a completely different man in Henderson these days? Or do you think he's always had that? I think he's not. I've been delighted with him every single day. I haven't watched the game this season. There's been a few games where he's had a bad half or even maybe not a great game. But even at that stage, I've been willing to say he's been so good for us and so undervalued, I feel. But there's still lots of Liverpool fans out there that are saying, yeah, he's on. It's remarkable. Listen, I think I said to Phil that recently on one of these, that we only commented on them a couple of times when he wasn't up to his usual, wonderful life. But you know, I forget that. Try bring Lucas back in alongside Gerard if you don't have him there. You know what I mean? And see how that team plays differently. See the difference in terms of having the runners around Gerard and how much Stevie is exposed. And then tell me that we don't fucking need him in every game. You know, he's been the only player that's played every single Premier League match this season. And I think every minute of every match, I could be wrong on that one. But, you know, he's definitely been our most ever-present performer this season. And to me, it's a given. He's been excellent all season long and hopefully he continues now for the next six games. Yeah, exactly. Andy de Captain, I know you're obviously a massive fan. He's got what Jesus Ryan touched on there. There's something about the management. There is a glint in the eye. There is something extra about him, isn't there? Yeah, like, going back to the other game when he scored a header, I never seen him celebrate like that before. I never even seen him pull that face. I was, like, wondering, what's he had the fucking take in here? He's fucking mad, looking like the face. And he did it again against Soneland. You know, it's incredible. The deserors there, like, and obviously, as Liverpool fans, we're just going to say, there's no one that deserves to win the league. Martin, Gerard, and you can see he's all free. He wants this so much. And he can see in his performance. He's settled into that role brilliantly. He's hardly put a foot wrong. I think it was the Villa game where Liverpool are just shell-shocked. And it would have been hard for any player to get into a game the way they came at us, you know. But since then, every single game, he should play it brilliantly. And, you know, he's not even, he's just part of the cognitive. He's not dragging us along like he used to. He's just part of the machine that Roger's has at the moment. Floyd Henderson, we were touching on England there a minute ago. Like, fucking hutching will be foolish not to play Henderson and Gerard in the middle of the park for England because Henderson is just sensational. You know, he gets the stick from the fans. Some fans don't seem to appreciate him. But I think that's all it is. They just don't appreciate the thing he's doing. It's the way some people watch the game. Maybe they just expect that, you know, a midfielder supposed to score goals. And more goals, he does score. But he comes up trumps in every single area of the pitch and he's everywhere. You know, he's like a wasp. I tell you what, we don't need to go into England in the World Cup, but I think hutching could do a lot worse than actually just replace Coutinho and Suarez with Lelana and Rooney. And just leave the rest of it as is. To have a Gerard Sterling Hendo storage with Lelana and Rooney in there. There's every chance he's listening, so stay well. Well, how do you get on it? I'm a fan of the show. We've all been spoken to. I've never spoken about it. Excellent. Speaking of passion and celebration. You never have much of saying is she giving it away? Yeah, positivity is not his thing. If everything's gone well, he's just been talking about setting up a unoided part next year. Oh, man, imagine the fun. You wouldn't be angry enough. You'd just be enjoying it. And speaking of the mad look in Jared's eye, the celebration that Suarez had for his gold. Jesus, this shit matters. This is what I'm saying. And it goes back to what I said earlier on. The level of desire and drive went up about 16 fold against Spurs. It was like they just wanted to get over that Sunderland game with the win. And they knew then it was seven games. It was seven games to greatness. And it's just when that goal goes in from Suarez, the release of emotion to say, this is fucking on. It just already wants to do a swallow up everything and fucking celebrate with the war. It's just immense. There's a big part of that, I suppose, the two results on Saturday. They know that they win today. The title's in their hands. It's that simple. You know what I mean? They basically, they are the master of their own destiny. So they're thinking to themselves, and I'm sure, you know, Jared's been in the rear and said, listen, we've been in a position to capitalize on other seasons and we haven't done it. Do not fucking go out and blow this today. We get the early OG, great. But when Suarez scores that goal, it deflates Spurs. It gives us another lift, another 10, 20%. And that just says game on. The fucking, the league is, you know, let's bring it home. And I think that was, that was epitomized by his celebration. How much he wants it. He is a winner and he wants to lift that trophy. And he wants, you know, you can see it in all of them. Every single one of them, as Andy already alluded to, they want this more than, and then you can, you know, there's lads out there getting 140, 150 grand. They've won league titles in different countries. They've won, you know, half a man city squad. I've won the premiership saying what else he probably, I won't say it doesn't mean anything to them or they don't want it. That's silly. Every professional footballer wants to win the league, but the level of hunger that's there. And remember this, in Suarez's case, he left Ajax the year they won the league. And he never won the league when he was there at Ajax, right? Like Gerard, he smells the league title. He smells that elusiveness, the one that puts you top of the pile at the end of the season, the one that makes you the best team in that league in that country, right? And not only he's the best player, the best gold scorer, he's the best assist maker in the league this year. And what he wants to cap all that off is the medal to say he was the league winner that year. That he destroyed that league, that he fucking was the league. He was the league. He was the league. I am the league. I am the league. I am the league. That's what he was screaming on. I am the league. We shouldn't, we should actually talk about his goals. We should talk about his goal. Tell me about his goal, honey. It was just typical of Suarez. There's not many players that scored a type of goal. You constantly reckon the fanless heads. You must be talking to them as well. He says he's the right little shit like the things you've been saying. And he spots the little. He capitalises on all mistakes. And sometimes his force touches something that flicks away from him and he doesn't quite get him. But he's always there every single time. I mean I think it was a, someone came into the box and took a shot. And Suarez was like a light again over. I think it was Coutinho late on. And Suarez was like a light over. And he really talked out Dawson after it. But it's just it's just constantly biting and biting and biting. Excuse the pun. But he just, the way he got in got stuck in OK Dawson. It was forced touching the game. What a stupid fucking thing to do. But it was the way like Cabol's a monster. Yeah and he bullied him. A monster. But he shited himself. Because you know he can hear Suarez growl from behind. And then it's the second touch I think. It's one to get away from and then the second just gets him back in front. And then they finish with his left foot. No no he's got no right to score there. There's all to aim at. And it is the honest. He's calling away from gold. Yeah. It's just outrageous. I am the league. He's there. He's one player like that. You're just, you're kind of just falling over and you'll watch replays and slow motion. Like I'd watch him just doing stupid, just irrelevant things on the pitch over and over again. Like Ryan was talking about the kick off the Sunderland player. We watched that four over six times. Because you can't even fucking leg in it. And it's his look, it's his look. His looks up before he shoots and all. Like it's just you just fucking love it. Like you know what I mean? You can't get enough of this fella. Can't get enough of him. Yeah first. Ryan. The sound do say that. It does say that. Ryan as well as Luis Juarez, who's clearly one of the best, if not the best in the world at the moment. We've got another man up there dining storage and Jesus, you know, he's a hell of a footballer. Oh he's something else in fairness. I say at any other club in the country he'd be the star man there. It's crazy that he's our second best striker. But what else is there to be said about him? What I'd like actually to say is, join this record up there. It's the record up there, it's the first time in 50th. There's over 20 goals since Hunt in St. John. I think what makes that record for me so amazing is not the fact that it's spanned 50 years because it's the fact that it did it at Liverpool Football Club. Because if you look at it, this isn't a regular club where they haven't had any strikers in 50 years and they just stumble across two random gems. In our 50 year gap, we've had Keegan and Tasha, Roch and Kenny, who didn't do what the suppliers and storage have done. And that's just when you take a step back and really think that's an incredible feat for outdo, the likes of Kenny. And I think on the end of the season, in a few years' time, when we look back on this season and seeing the goals, they're nearly on 50 goals. That's incredible. As a combination, they're just something else and it's something to be appreciated, definitely. For sure, for sure. Okay, well let's move along into our preview. Can I just say something about storage? Sorry. Every fucking time this happens. Go ahead, mate. It's disappointing when you read stuff from the media that they try and claim that Liverpool fans don't like them. They try and fabricate this impression that they don't. It's down to a couple of things, like in my opinion. The obvious one is because we've got the best player in the world in that position. Okay, and he's kind of playing in the shadow. But I just feel what is the case is there is a certain section of Liverpool fans who see him as the cocky, bling, bling, you know, sort of in our kind of, well, midlands, or what a Birmingham where he's from. And it doesn't exactly resonate with this ghost kind of. Yeah, whereas Suarez does, you know, whereas they like the nastiness. Like it's kind of like the way the fans talk to Fel and never talk to all. You know, it's that kind of thing. He just doesn't fit the kind of picture. You know, when the dance started, like you could see, you know, people kind of fuck off at that dance. But the more you see it, the more you love it. Yeah. You don't give a fuck because every time you see that dance, it means you scored. Anyone listening, get on to Paul Brennan's rant of the week this week because it's all about the shot that's been spoken of Daniel storage in the press. It's a fucking blinder as well. That's right. Because our sights look. Yeah. Okay. Let's move on to our preview of West Ham versus Liverpool then. Ryan, I'm going to bring you in here straight away. Yeah. This may be completely redundant, but we need to touch on it anyway. In terms of how the team may look and whether there might be any changes. Look, the back four probably won't change. Well, I mean, is there any argument at all for Bringsacko and Annie Point at all in arguing with Bringsacko? Is it not just going to be status quo, do you think? Well, no, definitely. There is a case for Sacco at the moment with Andy Carroll. Personally, I'd have him in to take care of him, but I would be stunned if he starts. I think Rodgers is not going to make any defensive changes unless he's forced upon him at this stage. And that is more than fair enough. Again, the gravity, the situation when it's a tight run, you're not going to rock the boat in the back line. But I definitely think there is a case for Sacco starting because the strength of Carroll is going to have an issue for Agar. And you know Carroll is going to peel off score on to Agar when he gets the chance. So I would definitely would feel a bit better with Sacco there, but I expect fully that back four to be exactly the same. I think you've pretty much summed it up there. We could do that to that, but you've pretty much touched on other things. We need to touch on there because I think most of us feel it won't change, but we can see the sense or logic that goes along with it. Keeping you on just one more second. Will anything else change? Like, does Joel come back in? Is it a routine dropout or is it a filter dropout? Or how would you see it going against West Ham giving you the sort of team there? Yeah, definitely. I think I stick with the 4T3 that they use against Spurs, purely because I think just Phil and Sterling are on a dropout at the moment. And besides West Ham are going to be bypassing us in a different field anyway. So I'd be confident that Stevie and Hendo minding the house comfortably enough. So I would say no need for Alan at all. I think the 4T3 should be good enough for us to hit him, hand and counter. Very good. And Stevie, if there's going to be any changes, it's likely to be in that little area. Do you see it? I could see possibly Catenio coming out and Alan going in. Yeah. And I probably wouldn't disagree with that. You know, I think with the sort of sentiment feelers that they're going to put in there, they're probably going to have Nolan playing off Carol, who's going to drop in and give a dig out. And you're going to be probably looking at who Taylor, Noble, D'Amé. That's kind of who you're looking at there. I think having Alan, Hendo and Stevie in there might just give you a little bit more. A little bit more muscle against some fairly big physical ads. You know, you always have the argument for Phil being well able to wriggle himself out of those situations and not get himself into a physical fight, you know, or a physical sort of matchup in the first place. But, you know, as good as he's been, you know, we still say it. His last two games, or he's been exceptional, have been at home again. His awayform this season has been poor enough, you know, and for me, possibly Alan in for Catenio. That's the only Sterling can't be dropped, you know. You're going to roll in behind that, Phil, aren't you? Erm, no. It's, erm... Seriously? No problem, Phil. [laughter] No. Erm... No. The reason why this is going to be a very interesting game, because West Ham plays so spread across the pitch in terms of how high the front men are in comparison to how deep they're back for is. And there's going to be a lot of gaps in midfield. Especially in that pocket of space in front of the back four, where Catenio does some massive amount of damage. Especially if we have, if you go with the same line-up that they had last Saturday and you're more or less play to win the knockdowns that Carolyn's going to look for in front of air back four. So, where you once started your air, basically standing on Carolyn's toes as the ball comes down to rubbish and feeds a Catenio. We can really damage them in the space that they're going to leave in front of them. I think I've said every match for the last four games, I'm feeling nervous about this. I am feeling nervous about this game, because I can see a forward up Andy Carroll fucking trying to wreak havoc on our defence. And he rarely gets forward up, but when he does get forward up he can actually be a very dangerous centre forward. And I think he wants to really prove something against us. It's not Andy Carroll, you're afraid of being honest. No, it's not. It's the little ridiculous foot bag that sits out on the left wing and is scared of his own shadow. Hopefully Flanagan gets in and polarised the bastard fucking like he did. You're a dapper ganger. Excuse me. But no, it's the combination. It's the reject combination that's going to be there. And you know, it wouldn't fat Sam and his horrible fuck face loved fucking put two fingers up with us being best made to fucking figure the whole. I just, I just spoiled Sam. I just spoiled fucking Stuart Downey. Joe Colan's a little runt and fucking, and you've got Andy. Well, Sam, I'm just saying that I listened to him on show up today, but at least he's always been an expert. I just think Andy Carroll will have the big twinest team out for the games, right? What a horse pump. But if we can get, if we can get around the fact that he's up there, right? If we can win those knockdowns, because that's essentially where their game is going to come from. We win those knockdowns up to here, then we can break exceptionally quickly. That's why we would start continuing and sterling in this game. Similar, we can play them on the counter very much because they're going to just lump it into us. I think Flanagan and Johnson have a big part of playing this because we can handle the 7080 yard straight highballs in the car. I've no problem with Agar or Scirtle going up and meeting now. The problem for them has been when a ball is whipped in from either flank, and they don't get the run. They don't, they don't, they don't get to be behind. The ball's coming 7080 yards in front of them. They can judge where Carroll's going with that. They can, they can, they can stand up to them or they can step off. One, one tucks in behind and gives cover there. The problem is as the ball comes down and it's Jarvis or whoever, it's like shot by Downing, getting that, whipping in that ball, and that's where we have the issue. So that's where I think Flanagan and Johnson. If you want to see an archetypal weakness in it, right? It's the Kenwin Jones goal for Cardiff, but that potentially West Ham could get, get, get joy out of. The ball into Carroll pulling half to the back post between Scirtle and Johnson and knocking it down for Nolan. And that's, if you're wondering what a goal against us will look like against West Ham, I'd be amazed if that isn't what would be constructed against us if they managed to score. If we stop that, we stop West Ham and we can break and we can be ruthless against them. I think we can annihilate, like this could be a game, I think we'll win it, but I think it could be a game where it's a 4-2. You know what I mean, or a 3-2 or something like that. But I think we will concede, unfortunately, I think we will concede against them. But that's okay because I think our strike forces have proved so many times this season is well enough to put them to. So if United can score two against them, fuck it, you know what I mean, anybody can. Ryan, the danger of Andy Carroll and the knockdowns and the little pocket of space that we tend to leave around the edge of the 18-yard box, is that a worry for you? Yeah, that actually is aerial, that really is the main threat we're going to have. I'd actually like to bring up the lads around about how important Flanagan and Johnson are going to be. And that's very true because when the wingers break down the wing against us, they're the only ones dared to block the cross. And that's where you miss that more natural defensive midfielder who will get a cross and help out. And I just think too many times cross is coming a bit too easily, and that is definitely the main worry I have. But in terms, I still expect us to dominate possession, and I still think we get that first score on Sunday, that's it all over. Because if West Ham have to come out against us in any shape or form, we're just too good to be able to pick them off on the counter. But yeah, definitely from why he bawls into Carroll and knockdown, that's the worry I rate, and if they're going to score, that's going to be it for sure. Yeah, and the West Ham are at eight points clear of allegation as the table current stands. I don't know what the result is tonight. No chance of Europe. We've got the old boys, we've got Sam who hates the report to come up. What are the motivation levels like for West Ham? Is this one of those ones that the Ark had played, but they're halfway on the beach? I don't know, West Ham like to put in a performance for our fans anyway. You know, there's that atmosphere about that club, like you know, the fans love them. So yeah, they'd be used to having them to play for anyway. You know, but that doesn't, it doesn't roll out anything really. But the main thing is Liverpool don't get into a physical battle with them. It's a pretty typical kind of way that's gone more than you. Like, we're going to have to just be prepared to probably lose a goal or two here. And just go for it. I hope they'll do our ankle on a team. Yeah. Not being too cocky there, but that's what they look like. But they don't have them all. That's what they are. But that's what they're doing. I'm not going to keep that. It's very unlucky they're going to keep a clean sheet because they did, like West Ham played two-hour weaknesses. They're the one team in the league that are going to really be relentless about lumpen balls in. And that's going to be getting down, getting down the wings while our downing has a bit of joy. Our driver has a bit of joy in the pom-pom balls and eventually one of them is just going to. You can just see it. You can just set pieces or whatever. There were these things against United until really got that clearance. You know when he smacked the clearance and it went in? Yeah. Yeah. He ridded the ball and it just happened to go in over there. Let's go. Let's go. I would absolutely choose myself. If tomorrow is hit, hit it, hit it. His scissors kick. His scissors kick from the halfway line and just went, you know, I don't realize. Stick that up your balance. I pulled off a t-shirt. Take it up your balance. It's guaranteed top three, isn't it? It's fucking ridiculous. Look, we can blow these to smithereens. You know, we can. We can't. We can't. We can't put your word up with all sorts of things. Well, you are absolutely concerned, you know, especially if it's the Forrest goal. Like, but again, is it one game this season? We haven't scored in the Forrest half. Like, you know, we shouldn't really be worried anymore. Yeah. You know, but it's such a, like, every game now is the biggest game of the season. And it's all fucking massive. And it wouldn't be just a kick in the ball. It's the team that isn't really playing for anything. It's just, it's the party. Yeah. It's the fucker Sam. It's him, right? If he wins, he'll think that he's the best manager in the league in his own head. He'll be out tactical. Alar Dichy. Yeah. Well, Andy, look, you've talked around it there in terms of your analysis. So, give me your protection. Okay, so... 4-2. Liverpool. Liverpool. Ryan, give me your prediction. 3-1. 3-1-2. The Red Man, yes. Of course, yeah. Okay, Phil. I'll come to the last. No, no, I'm coming to you now to the control. Okay, I won't fuck you in. Steve O. Steve O special 3-1. Every time, Phil. Yeah, every time. Why not? Yeah, I think, I think it's narrow. I think we won by a goal. Phil. 4-0 to West Ham. But that's, we've done the two things we always do. So, we're gonna be happy. Don't be right in two positions, man. Andy, get upset. Shit. Shit. Shit, this is weird us. Yeah. How was your jersey thrown going on? How are you? I didn't wear a jersey. Yeah, yesterday at all. Just helpless. No, I just went with it on. Yeah, most of the nipples were gone because... Yeah. The only jersey I could actually trust was in the wash. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I wasn't prepared at the risk. You only wore a jersey. I wasn't risking it. I was gonna go with a black Adidas one for a couple years. Both that, I was thinking... 3-4. I couldn't think. Whatever you want. Shances are. Shances are. Right, okay, let's move on to the bag of weird. That is your listeners' questions. First one is from an old friend of the Paul Elskaus. And he asks, "What is the optimal number of cushions for a three-seater couch or a three-seater sofa? Steve O. I think it's nine. Well, you need nine. Well, you need... No way. You need... Actually, you need... No way. No way. You need five big cushions. Yes. But you need four of those little bolster cushions. Ah, they do my head in. No, but you need one of them for down the side for your arm and one in behind your neck. No, okay. And you know what? I actually searched this out today because I was on the couch when I read these. So you've got to start? Well, I actually did a little bit of rekiing it. I told some research here. A little bit of rekiing into it and I said, "Yeah, you need four cushions to yourself." No. The other person at the other end needs four cushions. No. You just need to know sporadic cushion in the middle for looking decent. Now, that's going with your standard L-shaped sofa. That's an L-shaped. That's not standard. That's not a fuck. It's a tree. It's a standard L-shaped sofa. It's a standard L-shaped sofa. It's a standard tree. It's a standard L-shaped sofa. It's a standard L-shaped sofa. We don't all live right here. I keep your showrooms, you fucking... Don't tell. This is looking like a... I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm a wanker. I'm not a wanker. I'm not a wanker. invention I'm sorry yeah right now come here listen before I had it before I was married in the whole lot there was no questions on the sofa there was just a selfie you sat in the sofa it didn't fucking matter a difference right and if you want to be nice and comfortable you got into bed you pull the deal they are right now cushions they only came into my life when my missus came into my life and next minute was we're going cushion shopping and we go fucking what the fuck is cushion shopping you don't know that happened because you're a bitch with probably but anyway right the fucking no right so I'm stuck in questions so the only the only way we got around was the question has to be the length of the arm of the sofa just two questions one at each end so that when you lean up against the arm it's just it's nice and soft I don't know if you're looking at the both I fuck off of your nine questions you bleed and wear it on two questions is a nice term I like that two questions I'm worried about your social life when you were a single man and you had no cushions on yourself what happens when you bring the lady of the time back and you decide to get a bit jiggy of the time yeah what the fuck happens there you've got nothing to throw on the on the ground I went to the bedroom I fucking big melody looking couch it is more when it's dinner baked in to the the cushion doesn't fall off the couch when you're on it in full wake pan the opposition well then you haven't got enough oh that's a good test do you know what I mean it's like you have to spill a cushion at you that's what the ninth cushion is for only well I don't know whether it's nine 10 12 or what the other number is but they get the more cushions the merrier and the same with the bed I like that it's like one of those hang on hang on Jenga Ryan Ryan what what's your take on this you're a young man what's the story of the questions in your life well first of all I fucking hate cushions especially John a match they always seem just get in that awkward angle to wrap up your eye or something fucking hell it's the original that's all your issues very good very good okay well actually we keep you on here for the next one and this is from Stewie and he wants to know what's more dangerous and he's giving you two little setups here Tim Sherwood with a knuckle duster or a VB with a sword who would you be more afraid of everyone yeah oh it has to be a VB doesn't it he's just you know he's asleep shit so I've been realizing so it has to be a VB with the sword definitely okay anyone got any fear of Tim Sherwood at all no no no he's gonna stand there go come in fucking cash and he's got toothless study already we stabbed to death before he even got to dig in like it's fucking Sherwood is the proverbial Yorkshire Terrier he's all yap and no fucking boy no they have it he'd have a fucking point but the bombers is why he'd have me smashing over the fucking table and sticking their face that's that's what he'd do yeah baby be able to sort of like that because he he'd look the part he would have started he looked the business of the song but he just fell as usual he wouldn't have to fucking use it you reckon you have him even what a sword yeah I don't need to shoot you with a sword what is the thing not firing I'm cutting the fucking hands off is helping this home back in Portugal I want to leave with this sort right this is the sort of champions Mike asks us this is a this is a one that we've had something similar to this before if you were a wild animal

they're fucking daddy you know I mean I went I've seen them on safari and stuff like that have you they have a big pride a lioness is they're just fucking out and they want quality life yeah they just you know what and then eventually you get old enough whereby you can't fuck them anymore and this young lad comes along and beats the bollocks out you're gonna fight and you're told off you go and you say fair enough off the line smash in the back doors out them for years so best of luck with that you say that wrong and you just head off it's fucking it's not quality a lion's life you stay with a lion's life right anyone else that right around this running on the animal you'd particularly like to be me a badger by I said I remember you seeing a YouTube video of one killing me in a hedgehog

know the main but that's not a good no fix you took out a cake too early and you turn it upside down it just splat onto the fucking countertop yeah hang on a while you hang on a while you had a cooking I'm working at fakes because it surely is going to take temperature is more than what's your body temperature thirty six point nine thirty seven degrees yeah yeah take to caulkishia well you

know he said anything over 35 one cause you know if it stayed in your system for long enough that maybe it does I've actually it get like tried to find out enough Google everything and there is no
