Liverpool are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. They're 11 points clear of today's opposition Manchester United. And let me tell you. Keith, what did I say? You said United. Well, wait a minute, I wasn't talking about that. That's the excitement, the excitement getting to me. So let me tell you, the 11 points clear of Manchester City. But for the record, the 15 points clear of Manchester City. Let me tell you, Keith, Shani, and Emma. No, Keith and Shani are ill drinking. Okay, going to be straight up with you. And Emma is walking. So I have moved my front post match to here. So me and Matt can have an hour chat. Matt is really fucking happy about it. And he has a team for you. And he says it's going to take 20 minutes to get through. Called narrative corner. Narrative corner is what it's called, okay? So he said it may take 20 minutes. That has fucking madness in my opinion. But we're going to go with it. So at about 20 to 11, Matt's going to show narrative corner. And we're going to get into it before we finish up the show. James Noite says, what's this? It's a show about Liverpool. And we do a lot of them. And we do them regularly. And they're usually at MPM and Noite James. And I hope you catch up soon. Four things forced. I want to pour out an appeal, okay? An appeal to scoise boards. Scoise boards at scoise boards football. Wherever my beak. Can you please, please, please. For the love of Jesus. Stop giving us Gary Neville, okay? All right. The amount of bias against us. And for teams that aren't even involved in today's fixture. From that man is appalling. And I'm not going to go right into it. But I am going to tell you in a gesture of good faith and that we mean it. We are willing to take Phil. Okay? We are willing to take Phil. He sees your devil. No, Neville. We are willing to take Phil Neville on our games. If you will, please rid us of the fucking. Oh, abomination that is Gary Neville. I was thinking about it early. And I was like, do you know what he is? He's the prick, right? That when you're having a house party, he comes down from his fucking bedroom to complain that the music is too loud. Because he's going through a really tough time on his PC, playing lemmings. He's on a tough fucking level. And he can't get past it. So please, please, please, please, please. Just rid us of it. And look, if you think we're just, this is all just front. It's not. We're willing genuinely to take Phil. Okay? So that's where we are on that. I want to give, and I'll be wiggling into the match. But I have notes and I want to get through them. And we're really excited about what went on today. But I want to give a show out to Aladdin on. That came into the comments. After the show, I'm throwing it at my gav. Will you give over? We're not fucking drawing against these smokes. And we're absolutely beating them. And I had a really goal. And I got back on today. I said, I apologize on. And I will chill and humble poi from 10 p.m. And I am, because I'm going to get into it and tell you why. But I wanted to give you a show out as well. And I think I'm done. I want to give a show out to a few members later on. Maybe during narrative corner. If I'm allowed, or 44 seconds. But ma. All right. Let me do some housekeeping then as well. Too real quick. Hold on. Let's see if I can get this right. That's not going anywhere. Oh, it is. Oh, we were in Toronto. Right, right, right. One. All right. A big shout out to the good folks at the official Liverpool supporters club of Toronto, who hosted me and my wife for the Real Madrid game at their official headquarters in Toronto on Wednesday. It was a fantastic time. Absolutely lovely. It was shocking to be recognized as Matt from YouTube by a total random stranger in a different city. It made my wife's day. She's like, you're famous. Like, she's like, she's like, she's like, you know what I mean? That stuff. Absolutely lovely time. I hope everybody enjoyed their day there as well. I hope I'm not stepping on your toes here. But there are some birthday shout outs. We need to give out some members that were being a little sneaky about it. Owen Burke had a birthday. Didn't let anybody know about in the chat. Brian O'Sullivan. That son of a bitch. And of course, Emmett. You're the Minchelo Ultra himself. Lots of birthdays going around. Yeah. But Gav, to pirouette us into the game and to piggyback on the fact that it was Brian O'Sullivan, who had an amazing birthday week. He's a hip hop fan. He got two jig call albums. He got two huge wins by Liverpool. He got a new Kendrick Lamar album. And Kendrick Lamar summed up perfectly in one word, this Liverpool team. And that is mustard. We are fucking deadly Gav. We're deadly. Do you know what? I gave a huge amount of credit to the players and the manager after Wednesday night. I didn't think I was going to come into this podcast given the more credit that I gave them for Wednesday night. And just to clear up, the reason I thought it would be a score draw today was I thought that you would have to go and try score goals. And I think it's hard to stop CD scoring goals. If they create the amount of chances that they usually do and have over setting the amount of games. But I'm going to give more credit to Liverpool today than I did on Wednesday night. I just thought how we approached that game, managed to talk to them, held onto the ball, sat in and defended, picked them off and toyed with them, to be perfectly honest, was outrageous. It was an outrageous performance from Liverpool today. And two nil massively flat as Manchester City. I just, I could not get over how we just transitioned into whatever we wanted. At any point in the game, we transitioned into Leona Thix going forward. So dedicated to what we were trying to do defensively. Good in transition, good on the ball, good after ball. It was so fucking good, man. I know you're going to go into narrative corner later and it's kind of like how we play at anybody. Honestly, if that performance, and I don't care who City don't have, because I can list you who Liverpool don't have. If that performance doesn't make the rest of England and the rest of Europe, syrup and go fuck me, these are good. I don't know what will. Well, I mean, you wanted to go in a little bit on Gary Neville. I can't help you with that, Gavin. It's a road you'd have to hold alone because luckily, for those of us on the international feed, we are spared Gary Neville. So please, get yourself a Fubo TV membership and a VPN and never have to deal with Gary Neville ever again. And you'll love it because we get no pre-match, no halftime, no post-match stuff. It's like advertisements, the game, 50 minutes of advertisement, the game, and then the stream is over. And that's it. So I don't have to deal with Gary Neville, but I did catch one thing that he said, I believe it was yesterday. And that was Liverpool and Manchester City. Are you watching? Like, are you fucking watching this, Gary? Like, you're waxing lyrical over Arsenal, thumping a dreadful, dreadful West Ham United, five to two. When we put together two of the most comprehensive two-nail defeats of, let's run through it here, the reigning champions of Europe and the reigning four-time in a row champions of England. Two-nail scorelines that should have been four-nails or five-nails. Thibaut Courtois stands on his head. Today, Virgil van Dyke, for the life of him, decides he will not score from a corner for some strange reason. Mo Salah misses a chance that he would bury 19 times out of 20, if not even more regularly than that. And still, this is why we're doing narrative corner gap. It's absolutely, absolutely sickening to me. But to just from a purely Liverpool point of view, you nailed it. Everything that we could have wanted to do, we did. And I think it was Kev said in the WhatsApp before the game, it's all about who wants to win their individual battles. And I would say, man to man, 11 to 11 substitutes to substitutes, we won every single one of our individual battles. But even more so than that, Pep Guardiola, who is one of the great coaches and strategists of all time in this sport, got completely outclassed by Ernest Laude. And if this doesn't make every other football fan in the world and the few straggling Liverpool fans that haven't clocked onto it yet, if you haven't realized after these last two matches, or I don't know, the 17 that have come before that, where we have put this incredible run together, that we have an unbelievably fucking clever coach. This guy is so good. Can I bring you back to the start? Please. On Friday night, when me and Kev were talking about man cities, we felt that man city should probably come out and try get that Liverpool, because me and Kev between us didn't feel CE, either had the legs in their 11 or off the bench to overrun Liverpool from, say, 70 to 90 or 95. OK. And what happened was the exact opposite, man. Like, I'm not getting into lineups. We know what the lineups are, right? And that's what they're going with, fair enough. It was a little bit surprising. Maybe errors were a little bit surprising. It may be in one or two areas. But they came out, man. And they had one shot in the whole of the fourth half. Which was, I think it was recall, it was drags one void. But, man, for a team that are eight points behind us, they're away, they're long in confidence. People might argue, no, sitting, but you can't sit in against Liverpool. They'll just keep passing and passing. This isn't the opposite of the years gone, boy, that'll bombard you. And you can kind of try to hold them on the break. They will literally meticulously try to take it apart at their pace. And what they've done in the fourth 10 minutes, in particular, you know, was like, what is going on here? Like, could you believe what they were at in the fourth 10 minutes, or did you understand it? Because, like, I genuinely was looking at it going. They've no interest in winning this game. The biggest thing from the first 10 minutes that I took from it was I was blown away how we came out. Because I really thought, because when the city lineup drops and you're thinking, I think it was Roy Fitzgerald in the telegram, was when the lineup's dropped was going, you know, he's interested to see how city's going to build up from attack and how they're going to line up in and out of possession with the players they had on the pitch. You know, is Rico Lewis going to drop into the back line? Is it Kanji going to come up into the midfield? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I thought because of that, because it was the big unknown, that slot would have us set up to be reserved and Kanji and not give anything away and let him and his coaching staff take a look at what city we're doing and then relay the on-pitch instructions so that we could adapt to what they were doing. But instead, he just went, "Nope." And it was a bit cloppy, a little bit cloppy that we just, like, boom, right out of the traps. We came after them and they were, I think they're broken gap. I think that team is mentally shattered. And maybe there's a reason for that in the sense that, you know, they've won four in a row, four on the bounce, you know, poor recruitment from them. See, this is narrative stuff, we're getting to it, I can't wait. They don't look like the Man City that we're used to seeing. And so when I think back to a couple of months ago, I said, "I think Arsenal is going to finish below Chelsea this season." That was because I couldn't have fathomed Man City looking as fragile and as poor as they currently do. And I think every team that has Man City coming up against them in the fixture schedule, at least for the next three or four game weeks, are just absolutely looking their lips. It doesn't matter if you're so Hampton or Fulham or whoever they have, I don't care who they have, because they're almost not even our problem anymore if we handle our own business. I think every team is looking at them going, "We can get at these." And I think that's what Arna Slott and his coaching staff saw as well and went, "These guys just aren't good enough to hang with us." And we went after them. You've said something there that's probably made me think that we need to give Liverpool more credit than kind of looking and wondering what City we're at, because I can't see his way home once to come out. 4.50 and 4.20. Troy got a goalie and then Troy set in for straight Liverpool and see if they could hit them on the break. But that didn't happen. City came out and when they got the ball, just was like, you know, playing around a bit, but not Troy and to do anything, it was so weird. But then 10 minutes hit and Liverpool decided, "Right, that's enough." That's enough. We've seen enough. Here we go. And they absolutely hammer on Man City's door for, I would say 20 minutes solid from there on in. And it's not the Alamo. Like it's not like Gary Ward lashing in the box, just for contribing every second ball. It was so precise in what they were doing. They were so drilled in what they were doing. And every time City got the ball, Liverpool were on them, every time City tried to play out, Liverpool were intercepted. It was so, so good. And like you look at the chances that we have Van Dyke, you know, it hits the post, should score. Trent has that one that at the time, you think it's, "Ah, that's wild." But I think I might come off the bottom of the post. I think it might just clip the bottom of the post. But we're gone and we're gone and we're gone. And in between all that, we see an outrageous goal. Right. And the Paris from Trent, the distance he put it, the space he put it into, the trajectory, everything about it, where it just sits in front of Sal and goes, there you go. You'll just do what you like. And the ball from fucking Sal, to pull it from where he is, to put it into the area, he's actually putting it towards goal, with Cole, for Cole, he got put to put it. And it was no more. It was no more. I think that's a pass. Oh, no, no. He's 100% passing. He's won 100% passing. But it was no more than Liverpool deserved. Ah, 100% not. I mean, for us not to have already been ahead at the point that we actually ended up taking the lead, would be not that. But the pass from Trent was, so before the match, I was talking with Chris Kevin actually doing the post-match show, because I was under the impression I was going to be on the post-match as normal, not remembering that Clan Lawson had abducted Keith and went out on the drink tonight. I was, I was at the belief that the best way for it, not knowing the shape that Trent was going to be in, was to go, go home as it right back in Kwanzaa at center half. Now, shows what the fuck I know, you know, given what we see late on in the game, when he brings Kwanzaa on and just says, he's going to play right back, and he's going to do it fantastically, and kudos to draw Kwanzaa for that. But when the lineups dropped and I see that Trent started, I said like, we could really do with Trent having one of those games. And the first three minutes, three or four minutes, I had in my notes, which I'm not even going to look at, because the post-match show covered everything off nicely, and well done, guys. In the first couple minutes, Trent had a couple of passes into the middle of nowhere that put us under pressure, and it was like, don't be doing that. And then he switched that radar on, and now the ball for Salah is, that's why you're going to clap built this team around Trent Alexander Ronald, because he has the ability to make plays like that, which allows your team to function in a way that no other team can really do. It's the type of play that Kevin De Bruyne does, that world-class generational level players, and Trent hasn't been that this year so far. You know, and this is a slight divergence from a regular Sunday night thing, where I know Trent's been catching a little bit of flack, and rightly so for a lot of it. But I love Trent Alexander Ronald, because he can do things like that, and it was a gorgeous, gorgeous ball, but nobody can take the credit away from Mo. I'm presuming they mentioned on the Post Match show, but even if they didn't, it bears mentioning again, that now makes Mo level with Wayne Rooney for 37 games in the Premier League with a goal and an assist, and he is going to take that record in the next couple of weeks. The guy is outrageous. Mo Salah, he's currently on form. He's the best player in the world. - It was astonishing the ball, because when he goes in behind, Roy, and he's running, I can't remember who he was running at, but as he's running, and he's getting closer to goal, I'm actually looking for him to go outside of hockey. If he wants to put it into the box, because the Marty gets in there. He's getting close to goal. There's more chance of a shopping and block down. Even though he's coming inside, I felt he was narrow on his angle, because he was so close to goal. If he'd been on the edge of the box, he'd be thinking, "This is perfect. We know what's coming here. Bend them on in the fair corner." But he comes inside and he finds a ball like that, and you know something, it was actually something that I looked at. I went to see, have done that so many times to teams, where Raheem Sterling or Rhea Marez, or Gabriel Jesus, or Aguero, are standing there top of balls into the back post. But this ball is treaded into a gap of pace. Basically, he's heading the gap, but you are not missing this. This is coming straight out. You just get anything on it. You can play this with the side of your knee. It doesn't matter. This ball's going in the net. Yeah, it was ridiculous. Chris says that Phala is far, gold short of Billy Little to go for joint in all-time gold scores for Liverpool. You know who else knows that? Mo Salah. Mo Salah. And he doesn't interview you. He does an interview. He does an interview after the game, and we're like, "What a ball." And he's like, "Yeah, I'm a good player." You know? And he has a laugh at it, which I really, really liked. I really, really liked that, because sometimes, Salah can come across as quite introverted, but he was so good. For the rest of the half, see, you just look all over the shop. Like, Liverpool at Will can give set pieces and look so dangerous. And we just keep- There's a reason for this, Gav. We got to talk about him. You kind of mentioned one before. You didn't quite hit the nail on the head. Our tackling in midfield was incredible today. Yeah, I agree. The number of being put in by Graham Burch, Sabah Slye, fucking ran his balls off today. McAllister, all of them. Absolutely excellent. That had so much to do with it. Any time there was a 50/50 in the midfield, I think we won basically every single 50/50 ball that there was to be had in the midfield. And anything that got through that, and this bears talking about for at least a couple of minutes, Gav, I might have misspoken earlier when I said that Mo Salah is currently on form the best player in the world, because after watching that performance today, the answer might be Virgil van Dyke because my goodness. He was a monster. If we call his little club with the ball where KDB robs him and Kelleher does the only thing he has to do for the whole game, if we call that the exception that proves the rule, Virgil van Dyke today was outrageous. But you see, I'm not going to disagree with you. But I am going to tell you that that's the total time in three games, the Virgil van Dyke is done something like that. And it's starting to be great on me. He does are at Southampton when we can see the penalty. He gives one away early against Real Madrid, and they break. And I think Robert's and Conda Shepherds, I can't remember your man's name. No, Mo Salah, Mo Salah, you're a fella. You broke him, yes. Yeah, yeah. And then today he does that, and it's starting to piss me off, to be fair. And yeah, I'm going to get caught. Now in fairness, we've coined the seven, the star decision, we've got to get caught in this at some stage. But where we are now, we don't need this. Swimming, true. Yeah, just fucking stop it, right? The Saba's only thing is interesting though, because I don't think, I don't think he wanted to be out of, I don't think he wanted, he did no interest in Saba's only today. They looked at him running around and went, "No, I'm not doing that." But just not doing that. And actually, we can't do that, because I don't think Bernardo Silva can do it. And Gunna can most certainly can't do it. And you look, you look then at the center back, you've got Diaz who's coming back. He doesn't want that happening. And it makes, again, you have to give you his credit, because Liverpool counteract every frailty that you think you see in Man City, by putting someone in a place where they're capitalizing this, and they'll walk them to the bottom, and see he don't want it. And we talked about on Wednesday night, or post-match Wednesday going, "You know, Saba's lying." Didn't start Jones, came in Jones. They looked standard. I think Jones might start on Sunday. It just shows up cleverly. They go, "No, do you know what Jones? You're relaxed there. You're more than likely starting on Wednesday against Newcastle. We're bringing on for the last 20." But this fella's going to go, and run the eyes of Man City. And they're not going to like it. Again, it was another really cool meal by Liverpool to put them in there. And just to get them running, running, running. And they just didn't want to be, they just didn't want to know. Yeah. Well, James Knight there, I think hit the nail on the head, agreeing with you. And Saba's supposed to be the answer to the City Games even under Klopp. And I think that's it. And it goes to what I was saying about them just being broken mentally and physically. There was a stat that came up before the game of a number of Premier League minutes played by players over the age of 25 or 28, or something like that. And City's like second from top in that list. And we're way down at the bottom. And they've got a lot of legs, with a lot of miles that have been there and done that. And somebody else in the chat said it, "I'm sorry, I don't have access to the control, so I couldn't save your thing for you." But said, "It feels like the City team is getting tired of hearing Pep's voice." And it's... There's got to be something to it because they're like... It's not that Pep Guardiola doesn't know how to... It's real talk football TV has said that, yeah. Yeah, I think that's kind of bang on. You just get some players going like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard this all before. We know what we're doing. Like, is it a bit of arrogance from them?" Like... But let me tell you... But let me tell you, let me tell you, let me tell you that comment there with Janos here, where he says, "Spot on guard. They can't do it even if they wanted to. They've no legs. They're doing a great imitation of Fabino Hendo in 2022-23." I think it's more of that than a failure to listen. Or, you know, tired or sick of listening. I think it actually does come across as that. I think Gundigan, come on back. I think he's... Well, he could compliment Roger decoy well, because I think people got Gundigan in a position for Man City. We're a really good six behind them. I think you can get over the fact that he's not going to tear around the pitch anymore if you're like he used to. But when you have him as his yet deepest player, he has to put Bernardo Silva in there today. And I think Bernardo Silva's legs are falling off him as well. So what happens is, they can't move you up the pitch. They can physically move you up the pitch. And then they start retreating. And when they retreat, they start getting on top of their center halves. And then all of a sudden, everyone else has to do a lot of an awful lot of running for them. And I just thought, again, I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm sorry. But Liverpool just figured the mill and went, "Yeah, but that's why we have him there." And that's why he's going to play. And what we're going to do is, we're not going to play Nunez and stand them up against Diaz. And Diaz in particular, for Nunez. We're going to play Diaz instead. I'm going to let him drift here, and drift there, and run here, and run there, and play a winger's game as a false Nein. And they don't want that rider who picks them up. It's in the soils of it. And but it gets to half time. It's one nil to Liverpool. I have time, I'm thinking, you know what? I'm really fucking happy with the way that's gone, but it's only one nil. And that naturally comes in, doesn't it? Where you say it yourself? I wish we had a second, just in case they pop and look for them. We should have been far ahead. So yeah, it's a natural thing to be like, we're going to rue those missed chances. We're going to rue Virgil hitting the post with that header. We're going to rue that 20 minutes of just pure domination we had on them, of not putting the foot on the throat, getting the extra goal. And it was something that I think it was Kev said at half time in our little WhatsApp chat. And he's like, we need another goal here because they're going to get chances. And I said, what if they don't get chances? Like what if we just don't let them have chances? And honestly, that's kind of how it paned out, Kev. Like with the exception of Virgil's little fuck up, where he lets the Brian get the ball off of him and has a decent chance and Kellert is there to save the day. Other than that, they didn't actually really pressure us all that much. Like Erling Holland today, he's going... narrative court. Did I read somewhere that he had 16 touches? Yeah, he had 16 touches. The fewest of any player on the pitch, it reminded me of that game that Lukaku had for Chelsea, where he had like seven touches and two of them were from kickoffs. And he was just an absolute phantom out on the pitch. But Erling Holland, to me, and obviously I'm biased, he is a flat track bully of the highest order. He does not score goals in big games. And you put him up next to a true Premier League great. Now he's had a Premier League great season. There's no doubting that. You know, he breaks the goal scoring record. So you can't say that in terms of one season performances, Erling Holland has had maybe the greatest one season goal scoring performance of any player in the Premier League ever. Fine. But in terms of being a great, it means showing up in the big games. And when you hear things like no player has scored against Manchester City more than Mo Salah. You know, no player has scored against Manchester United in the last eight years, more than Mo Salah. He's a big game player who steps up in big games and scores goals against big opposition. Erling Holland, yeah, he might beg Atrix against the Ipswiches and the Luton towns and stuff like that. And it helps to inflate his already impressive numbers. But he's not showing up in the big games for them. And today he was absolutely worth nothing. And this has come from a guy that had a Mrs. Captain in his Premier League team. And I'm dead last in my little mini league with all my friends and I'm fucking loving life. Because I got no Liverpool players on my team, a full of Arsenal and Chelsea and Man City players. And they all fucking suck. And it's great. Where first psychology fantasy Premier League is the way to go people. I'm loving love. But I mean, that's the different scab, is that we have a big game player that shows up because today Mo looked like he was on one again. And he has that feeling about him. But there's certain games we're like all about Mo. He has that glint in the Zoy. The sounds of the season can often sound like this. So why do we get in some grandkids?

As much as I think, there's a bang of 19, 20 of this city soil in the sense that if Volvo got ahead of the steam and got ahead of them, I don't think they believe they can get back and they're going to run away from them. I do look at, I do look at Mo Salah and I just, he looks like it's not a, it's not a furry determination. It's nearly an arrogance. You don't know how good we are. You don't know how good we are. And we're going to keep showing you and you're going to keep telling us that we're not that good. And you're going to keep telling us that this team over there had injuries. And we're just going to keep doing it. And he just has that look in as well. And you're drifting in an narrative corner. I think you have another way. I may be, I be dripped. I don't want to drift into narrative corner because I'm really looking forward to it. I mean, we are getting close and out of the corner, but second half, this is what impresses me the most. I think on 64, 70 minutes, I think I've seen a staff that, that city may have had about 64% possession in the second half, right? They came up right. Second half. They came up dominant. Yeah. But when I was watching it, I thought this is where Liverpool click into a different way of doing things. Going back to the most, the most standard version of it was Chelsea at home, where he went, we know what we can do. We're comfortable in what we're doing. You have to chase. We're going to sit in and Liverpool continue to make the best better chance in the game. And this is where I give more credit than Wednesday. Because Wednesday, to me, felt like good, good, really good, brilliant for the second half. And an attacking sentence, I was too uncomfortable. Liverpool are managing it well. Honestly, the second half today, I loved the fourth half, where we are just absolutely going at them and I would have loved more goals. But the second half today, for me, that was just like, it gives you a massive comfort when you think we may go to the St. James's pack. We may go to a good and some pack. And we may be under the cost because the atmosphere is up and there again, a few corners or again, a few, and Liverpool are just gone. We're absolutely fine with that. We'll defend all this. We'll defend everything you have and then we'll hurt you. And the second half was so impressive. So, so impressive. It's the thing coming out of it now, having, it's so nice having more than 10 minutes to digest your thoughts after a game before coming on and talking about it. The 10, 12 minute period after half from the Real Madrid game and today couldn't have been more diametrically opposed in terms of how dominant Liverpool were, in terms of possession of the ball, that the first 10 minutes after the half against Real Madrid might be the most dominant Liverpool performance I have ever seen in my entire life. They had one, Real Madrid had one touch of the ball in our half in 10 minutes. And it was a terrible pass by Shocker, Killian Mbappe. The 10 minutes after the half in this game, they were swamping us. And that brings me on to our second point gap, which is, who is arguably one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of all time is Floyd Mayweather Jr. What had Floyd Mayweather Jr. have more than anybody else besides a crippling gambling addiction? It is unbelievable defense. It is unbelievable ability to just block what you're doing and slip the counter. And that is what we saw in the second half because they came out in the second half at us. And we were set up with a perfect guard to just block whatever they were throwing at us and slip the counter on it. And going the other way on the counter, we're going to win that nine times out of 10. Nine times out of 10 because their defense is kind of shit. And our attack is dynamite. I think everywhere through the team is dynamite. And I want to go through a few players. I know we've only got nine minutes before we get to narrative corner. So I'll run you like I'll run you past that hour, Mark. No, we're not running past that hour, Mark. I genuinely can't. Couple of things, right? Um, you know, and by the way, um, if you're watching this channel tomorrow morning, you're getting two shows tomorrow morning, just let you know, you're getting another look back at this game and the standard real standards for me. And then you're getting, if you're a member, you're getting the torty is back in the morning. So, um, it could be a really nice torty and a Monday morning after this win. So if you're a member, feel your boots in the morning. If you're not a member, you're going to get that show. Anyway, you're going to get a show. So, um, you'll see details of them across our social media and stuff, um, tonight. And yeah, tonight. And then you'll know better for tomorrow morning. But Salom misses that chance where we robbed them again and worrying. And I'm so surprised that he puts it over the bar because I see what he's trying to do. You know, I think I think the keeper does well where he spreads himself, but still today is calling the big. So Sal is trying to go over him a bit more when the funny thing is he could have just went low, and I think he would have been absolutely fine. And then they get robbed again. And when they get robbed this time, known as a cause and all sorts of more, um, which he was madness when he comes on, like a back to minute, but then Diaz just takes over and Plow should the middle, goes past the keeper. Keeper takes him down. People are like, it's minimal. It's a penalty. And yeah, and Sal has slotted away. It's a really, really confident penalty. Keeper goes really way, but he hasn't got a chance. When you see it from the camera in the net, he's nowhere near. And it's just past him before he can even think about it. And it's too near that Liverpool are really, really good. But slot, like you said earlier, slot just keeps it simple. He brings on quantum, says no, no, Joe Gomez has been absolutely fine where he is. What the fuck am I moving on? Why am I making me move until position there? Throughout quantum, you're going to play right back. You won't be great at going forward, but no one cares. Just go in there and slot on the right back place and deal with the job for excellent to minute and maybe absolutely fine. And that's exactly what he does. Curtis Jones comes in, does exactly what he's asked to do. New audience comes in, does exactly what he's asked to do. Lovely to see Elliot back. Grant. But he doesn't over-complicate anything yet. Don't fuck up the good thing that Joe Gomez and Virgil Van Dyke are rediscovering by moving him to right back. And it blew me away because I didn't think there was... We've never seen Gerald Quantum play right back before. I didn't see that coming. And it's such a... It's so good for the kids' confidence that Arna Sloth... He's fucking twice. Kind of publicly. There's been narrative corner talk about Gerald Quantum. Does Arna Sloth believe in him? No, you just go out there. You're going to play right back. And he ventured forward a couple of times. It was like, "Holy shit, can you imagine if Gerald Quantum puts in a ball here? He gets an assist from right back. It was outrageous to see. And I think it's going to do him the world of good. Gerald Quantum." Yeah. To come back, to come in there and just go, "Let's go play right back." I believe in you, you can play right back. And I think it's more of a... It's more of a justification to Gerald Quantum because he could have went and listened, went there and played 50 and 20 at Santa back. And he goes in, "Oh right, I really have to prove myself." But he doesn't. He goes, "Oh no, you can do Santa back." It's fine. I think he can do right back as well. Do you think so? Fucking sure, yeah, get on there. And Janos says, he doesn't over- He doesn't over- What's the danger man at that point? Oh, of course. Doctor, what was this? He doesn't fucking do the danger man. Yeah, but Janos says it there. He doesn't over-complicate things because he's not trying to prove how smart he is. And he just goes, "He's a defender." Go in the fan and get a donut. It's just the different elements of it. And it's something I'm going to get into in the morning. Shows will be at 10 in the morning until 10, 40, and then 10, 40, to 11, 15. So, 10, 40, 40, 15. So, there we go. A couple of players I want to go through. I'm going to take these two on the block. Vergil van Doek and Joe Gomez, because Joe Gomez comes back in and sent a half for the fourth time, and more feels like a long time. And bringing us back to that brilliant partnership he had going back four years ago. And like you said, I think Barre Dappi from Vergil van Doek, when he's just just tones or switches off for that second for no reason, he's getting bored, I tap onto my page perfect during the whole game. I thought I'd do a page perfect. Well, I mean, I've already said what I needed to say about Vergil, but I want to try to see if I can find see I did need my notes. There was one where they played a ball where Holland had run between the two center halves. There was a very well-weighted long ball over the top, and it looks like it's going to fall to Holland. And Vergil just comes around the side with a perfect right foot, and doesn't hook it up for a throw-in. Doesn't shank it for a corner, plays like a cushion pass. I think it went into the midfield and grab a burp might have picked it up and transition from there. Like, I think Vergil was, again, his little fuck-up besides he was absolutely perfect today. But Joe Gomez was the perfect counterbalance to that, and gab, the 1920 parallels are starting to get spooky. Like, we played Aston Villa on the same day this year that we did in the 1920 season. Trent Alexander Arnold, the last time he started a home league game against Manchester City, was in the title winning season, and in the title winning season, Joe Gomez and Vergil Van Dyke formed an imperious partnership at the back. I'm loving you know I'm all aboard the fact that we're winning this league, but I'm all here for the narrative corners of all of this. They were absolutely excellent because it should have been a blow to us. Because Ibukanate has been arguably our best or second best player, or maybe third or fourth or fifth, because we've been the business this year. But Ibukanate has been outstanding for us this season, so to lose him, to lose Connor Bradley on the back of an early career defining performance against Killian Mbape and Real Madrid, with a tackle that has been meaned around the world a million times and rightfully so, because it was absolutely glorious and beautiful. To lose both of them to medium term injuries should have been a blow to us, but instead we just went next man up. Here comes Trent back in, he's going to do Trent things, and here comes Joe Gomez. If you're not a Liverpool fan, you almost certainly do not rate Joe Gomez, and if you do not rate Joe Gomez, you are incorrect, because Joe Gomez is a more than serviceable Premier League level center half, and when you put him beside somebody that is as good and as informed as a Virgil van Dijk is, more than good enough. They were excellent today. So it gives me solace that we're not going to be missing Ibukanate that much, because we have such an ample deputy in Joe Gomez to step in there. I think at the start of the season we talk quantum, we even take the spot as the center half part of the Virgil van Dijk, and I think it was a valid argument at the time. Kinate has come in and done excellent. It just happens at a time right here that Joe Gomez comes in. I know I actually do nothing against Joe as a quanta, but I think if Joe Gomez gets a feel under the table here, for the next five, six, seven weeks, whatever it is that Kinate is there, you could see us going into possibly, you know, you're at home, on January 5th, I think, where Joe Gomez has been a major part of a difficult part of the season, where Liverpool come out the back end of a going into a January game against Manchester. You know, going to listen if we win this because you could call it off, you know what I mean? It's one of those. I want to give a shout out to Andy Robertson. A lot of people, myself included, have kind of looked at Andy Robertson and thought, "I'm not sure." But I have kind of caveat that with the fact that I just think he played way too much football after an injury, particularly going away with Scotland and being ran to the bottom again every time he goes away with them. But what I looked about Andy Robertson today was he was measured and what he done. And I think this is my argument, Randy Robertson. I don't think he has to flow, but know the pitch like he did, you know, if we want to go back to 90 and 20. I think if he measures what he's doing, I think he's fine. But I think when he's tried, I think in the sort of play we want and him running up and down, it doesn't quite fit. But today I thought it was solid. Done everything he had to do. Linked well. Linked well with Gackbo. You know, didn't lose the ball, covered well. I wanted to give him a shout out. The midfield, you know, I just had to trade him. Yeah, I just had to trade him in incredible in different ways. And, you know, grab our sobber's lawyer's running parallel, we've spoken for, McCallus is just so clever and we're positioned to get himself into. And then we're grabbing birds, I just find him becoming a more and more physical presence as the weeks go on. He's becoming a presence where you go. He doesn't, he may look like that kind of lanky, kind of free-running guy, but it's a steal to him. And it's something that I see in the way of A.C. Milan earlier in the season, where he was throwing your man, Leo, who's a big unit. He was going to get away from the body. And he was doing that again today. He was nicking a fold and he was, he was out of everybody. But then when he got it, he wasn't just in there to smash into people. When he got it, then he was very good in his past, in the middle of it. And just progressing level to where he wanted to be all day. Yeah, it's, grabbing birds has the kind of air of like a kid that plays kids sports and they hit a growth spurt and they become a big kid. Yeah. And somebody needs to take them aside and go, "Hey, listen, you're fucking huge. Like, you can use that to your advantage." And he's really growing into it. Just his ability to, just Shawnee mentioned it months ago, those long, sexy legs that make Shawnee horny. He's definitely got those. And then that the shoulder dips that he does, it's just, he's so good. He's so, and none of us saw coming, none of us saw coming. And again, all kudos to Arnislott and his coaching staff for going, "That's the guy. That's the guy that we need as our six. He's got everything that we need there." And the biggest kudos have to go to Ryan Grabenberg for seeing the opportunity, not throwing the toys out of the cram and being like, "No, I'm a number 10. I don't play number six. I'm an attacking midfielder." Blah, blah, blah. Nope. He went, "This is the job that the team needs me to do. Watch this. I'm gonna do it at an incredibly high level." And he's just absolutely knocked it out of the park. We're getting close to the narrative corner gap, but before we do that, can we talk about the fucking madness that is dark on your chest? Well, we've spoken a bit about Salah Day. He gets the goal. He gets a miss. He is a sister that rages. I think he was a threat all day. You know, I think Bernardo Silva takes a bit of a fucking swipe. I'm somebody else, greenish might do as well. And Salah is just, like I said, he has that glint in his way. Really like Gakbo as well. He varied what he was dealing today. What I taught, he was too physical for Call of Walker. He didn't put it down to pace. He didn't put it down to pace. What he doing was he varied this game from me throughout the game. Gakbo, in a sense of, "I'm gonna be a pole tricker back post. I'm gonna be physically in the air. I'm gonna run at you. I'm gonna drop inside." And I think Call of Walker would have preferred a docu-type to go at him today, where he's just going to be tricky, you might go in, you might go in. But Gakbo's level and his variety to what he was dealing, but, you know, off the ball in the sense of trying to get a sister, trying to get in the box and on the ball in just varying everything all the time, Call of Walker hadn't a fucking breeze. What was going on today? Yeah, I allow myself to be prone to exaggeration. I don't think Cody Gakbo lost a single high ball from the center halves or Kelleher to Call of Walker the whole game. There was a very obvious plan from City to use Holland to block off the passing lane from Kelleher to Van Dyke. And rightly so. They know that Van Dyke has the ability to hit that 60-yard diagonal to Mo and set us off on the attack. So they were gonna cut that off and we ended up doing a lot of long humps up the field from Quavine Kelleher to whoever. And it wasn't to whoever. It was in the general vicinity of Cody Gakbo the Kelle Walker. And Gakbo went up for pretty much all of those balls with like a 25% spin on. And he went into the header and he's always gonna win the vertical battle against Kyle Walker because he's bigger, he's stronger, and he can jump higher than him. And he went up into all of them and he just gave it a little glance. And by the time he landed, he was halfway through his spin and he just turned and ran with it. And he did it five, six, seven, eight times. I'm gonna say he did it every single time because fuck Kyle Walker, he is washed. He is done. And Cody Gakbo had him on that specific instance every single time where we had a perfect outlet where we didn't have to play through the lines. We didn't have to build up slow from the back if they wanted to come on to us. And we, there were so many moments where I was saying, you know, sitting watching the game with my wife where it was like, I got to get out of that clock mindset where you have the ball and it's kind of even numbers and it's not really a break. But my instinct is to go, go, go, go, go, go, go. But we don't. We take the ball, we pass it back, we pass it back, give it to the keeper, out to the center half, back to the keeper, out to the center half, and we draw them in, then all of a sudden, boom, the ball goes long. It goes 40 yards. It cuts six of their players out. Cody Gakbo wins his 1v1 with Kyle Walker and all of a sudden, we've got a 3v3. And that's how we built the attack. It was fantastic. We've seen this in pre-season as well, where Liverpool love to drag teams on and then clippling into it was a salad in pre-season and off a lot into his feet, ball played off by Salah and Salah was moving or an Elliott was moving and you know, we're kind of getting going that way. And again, I have to go back and give loads of credit to the manager and the coaching staff that here's another scenario. What way do they think? Sorry, what way do they think we're going together? Kyle Walker, oh, we're probably going to try to get it along the ground and get the ass against them. No, what we're going to do is, we're going to make Kyle Walker be a firepost defender, an awful lot of the time, which is not easy, right? And when you're unsure of yourself, it's not easy because I think he is massively unsure of himself now. But instead of us getting a ball to the winger and goal, jing, jing, jing, pro run past, because we've seen my team around it on, we're going to actually make it a physical game against Kyle Walker. So instead of us, you know, we let Salah go over there and do all his ins and outs and jinx and stuff, we're actually going to turn them into a player that we're not here from the bottom, but we're playing really intelligent passes to this guy that gives him the most opportunity to win the ball against Kyle Walker. And I think, you know, as much as Kyle Walker, I think it's just falling off a cliff. I really do have to give massive credit to Liverpool again, because that's another thing, the spot and another thing they went after. The madness of Darwin Nunes, and look, I said it during the week when I was talking to Kev, and I said, Kev, I don't die on hills. And if he's not good enough Liverpool, he's not good enough Liverpool, but I think it's, I think it's not even a shadow without that he is definitely a walk in progress. For Aaron, a slot in Liverpool, the way he's walking off the ball, the way he's walking defensively, the way he's walking on the ball, we still are not making mad amount of opportunities for our centre forwards, but that doesn't matter. It's the way we're playing football. He comes on, he's sliding tackle, he's making big tackles in the box, he's giving it the big one to, he's giving it the big one to the cup after the tackle in the 90s, it's a good minute, and he's laughing his face off, I think when Diaz fucking opens Walker, I think, you know, there's something there with him. And I think it gives, listen, Aaron a slot might make the decision at the end of the season, he's not for us, you know, we're going to move on. But just the fact that he's learning and he's walking around, it's like he's putting him in and yes, you're seeing these little developments with him. I thought he was great when he come on, I just had the energy and I think it brings the crowd up again. And for me, just one more than the crowd, if you're at, and I'm saying this to whoever's watching, whoever might be listening, if you're going to Anfield from the early end of the season, please make that like that every time, if you can, I know those three o'clock Saturdays are shit, but if you can make the atmosphere anywhere near that every week, I promise you no one will touch it. I promise you no team will come down feeling torture, because it has to be unbearable. Pep where the oldest heads fall in half. Like the head guys get as gone. He's given it to six and he's given it all this and he's he's all over the fucking place. And that's what Anfield does. He booked down a new one as quickly on down a new one. That's because we've never got 12 minutes for that. I'm going to push you. The three or four defensive contributions he put in right at the very end of the game are like, that will allow me to forgive any misses in front of the goal for the next two weeks. For the next two weeks, you get a pass on that because he is so completely bought into the fact that he's not going to be the regular starter in the team, that he might not be contributing goal-wise as much as he should be. He really fucking should be scoring more goals for us, but he's not, but he can contribute in other ways. And if he does that, guess what? That's the sort of thing that we absolutely adored Bobby Firmino for, was for not contributing as much goal-wise, and I'm not saying the same type of player. But just lastly, like not lastish tackles, but at the edge of our box, Darwin Nunes sliding tackles throwing balls in, chasing down loss causes and winning fouls in the 93rd and a half minute sort of thing to allow us to kill the game off. That is so necessary to win these fucking games. And it's just, it's so great to see because he catches absolute pelters from certain online genres in the world, if I may, that absolutely have a vendetta against him. But it's, Gav, we got to do it. It's narrative corner time, Gav. Right. Well, before we do, Red Steve says, "I've seen Gav walk on the fly. He absolutely dies and heals." Great one, really. But that's, first of all, that's an absolute lie. Second of all, update, six days into the new regime. I've lost nine pounds a week in six days. So, fuck you, Red Steve.

I'll get back to that Gary. We just missed that. Hold on. Under number seven, we have all. That's a big one. The Rod Regan injured. So Gary won at number 11. Advent is great. I'm literally fantastic. Anthony wants number 14 if it's still gone. It might be. Sorry. This is number 11 for Gary Bullen. We have Oh, all the Arsenal injuries, of course, just unbelievable injury. Anthony Miller. Do you know what this is just what I'm going to be? I only have a set amount of sound effects. So I'm gonna go and get run through him again. Gav, we run through him again. Number 13. This one is for you, Anthony milk in French. We've got Liverpool have a washed up squat. Oh, stuff. All right, Peter, he I believe that is his next up. He's got number six. We did number six. Sorry about that, Peter. Do you got to keep up Chris Brack wants 21. He wants 21. So just so people know, I've only got up to 23 up to 21. I don't even I didn't even read this. So Oh, oh, we didn't sign Zuma Mendy. We didn't sign Zuma Mendy Gav. That was that was mental. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. I've got so many more of these things. Advent is a long time. It's not. It's 24. And Gav, give me a number of time. John Brooks says, Gav, how do I become a member? If you're watching on your desktop, if you're watching them, whatever, there's a little join button where you usually subscribe is or the like button. Hit join. You sign up and you do it there. If there's anybody watching that wants to donate five memberships, you can do that instead of like, you know, doing a super chat or whatever. You can literally just put in that you want to give five away. They automatically go to four people for a month and then they may take it up and keep going. And number 24, he doesn't have a red state of car for 24 for the end Red Steve. Quit fucking everything up Red Steve. Yes. This is number two. This is number two. We have an untested manager. Don't test the manager. Hold on. I think I'll go with. That was a good one for the untested manager. All right. How many narratives have we missed any? I don't think we missed any. I don't think we have only repeated one of them a couple of times. So this is it's on. And again, thank you to the Telegram members chat for providing me with all of these narratives. This is number 12 for little deer, MacGlenci. We've got Liverpool will be lucky to make the top four. That is a very special. That one right there. What else do we got? Number nine from Gizmo. We did that already. I'll double nine and give you 18 because you're a lost in your request. And Chris Buck asked for 18 as well. Today you go. The app, Raki already had his. Here on B has one for the next I've encountered. He says, Dutch managers don't walk into Premier League. There we go. Where were you and the members chat earlier? Look at this one. 18 is brilliant. Inherited the club's thing. Yeah. Hold on. We're in Chilviz, baby. We get you don't be back in there. I love it. I mean, Gav, it's funny how you can get both a washed up squad that aren't good enough. Didn't make any new signings. And he inherited an incredible team. Oh, at the same time, Gav. It's a Christmas miracle. Fantastic. Contractor unsettling us, said Richard. Oh, I think that one either. Yeah, it's a good one. You have a lot to live up to next week if you're making appearance or the next time you're making appearance on a Sunday night. Look, an angel made of cardboard with 24 narratives is phenomenal. In honor of the fallen Ibu Kanate, number five is we're going to struggle. Struggle post club. There you go. And as much as I'm enjoying this, if you want to make suggestions as to what sound effects I should have on, for any for anything, let me know and I will make them up and put them in here because I can add loads of them like millions as many as you want. So there you go. People tuning in, we're going to team this channel is ran by a bunch of drunks. Well, it is, but this is a little bit more. You don't lose nine pounds in six days being on the cans. And feel there's a library. I'm after drink. Yeah, I'm after drink. Have you got a number 24? I do have a number 24, but I am saving it, Gav, for the whole point of this. How many of you got left? I'm looking through them all. I got number eight for Dominic Saba slide, who has amazing bouncy hair, which is will fall away come January. Oh yes. All the way. Yeah, big part is in January and 11th. Oh shit. We're running out of droplets. Oh, no, 14's done. Just don't chocolate 15's done. Let's see what we got under number 15. We have, uh oh, this is an old favorite. It's got to come back because gav, guess what? Oh, it's the it's the best of all. It's the best of all. Yeah. Haven't played anybody at all ever. And we did tweet earlier Liverpool have played zero. Um, one eleven, uh, drum one, last one, score 28, conceded eight, uh, far score 26, conceded eight, gold difference of eight in points 24. But the important part of that tweet was played zero at the start. Because of course we haven't had anyone scare some people, scare some people, scare some people, it's the river dance. I'll get up for you. I got a bit of river dance for you. I did all of the thinking. I'm thinking, should I, should I just break down father's head and have a load of things from father's head? Like, what do you think I am? I heard you know, I heard your racist nail father, things like that. Um, I'm gonna have so much fun, but I need, I need stuff like this to be brought to me so we could use it, but I can't just randomly put them in. Um, what else do we got? All right. I'm on number. I can't remember. I think this was 16. This is an arsenal fan favorite PG, M.O.L. conspiracy. Oh, yeah. It's, it's obviously conspiracy because you know, uh, all the referees that are putting on the internet are clearly anti arsenal. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. This is number 19. What do we have number 19? Oh, this one. Yeah. This, I think this is perfect. Catching teams are the best possible time. Yeah. Lucky, lucky Liverpool. Lucky. Well, the number 20 gab for, uh, the, uh, X red Adam Lelana, who really should have been sent off at the weekend. Oh no, I'm going to skip ahead. I got 22 and 20, nobody picked 22 and 23. Here's number 22. Oh, this is a beauty right here, gab. Grab and birch will be found out in the big games. Oh, I like that one. I like that one. I like that one. I have to give my DJ. It really ties in with the didn't sign Zuba Mandy. No new signings thing. Oh, here's one. And this is actually true. This one. You need luck to win a title. I'm not getting the sound effect on that one because I believe in that. I do believe in that one because that one goes along with, let's make sure I'm holding this. I wasn't holding it the right way up and down with this one, gab. Is this 24? No, this is 20. This is the last one before 24 before Christmas Eve gab, which is we haven't played anyone yet, gab. We don't already. You know, gab, that narrative will never die. It will not played anyone yet, gab, which brings me on to it is a Christmas miracle. Look at how beautiful this thing is. Look how big 24 is fine. Gav, once you originally did it, it looked like an iron cross and I was like, no way. I am not holding up an iron cross on YouTube. I thought I was in Shamrock with your held it up forced. Oh, that would have been great. Here's 24 gab. Oh, it's fallen out. Almost lost it. Okay, it's Christmas Eve gab. Here we go. Merry Christmas, everyone. It's the fourth of December. And here is your last, your last one. This is a Christmas miracle, this narrative. Okay. And I think this is going to take us through into the new year, gab. Hold on. Man see bad champions. Champions. Are we going to hear that yet, Gav? I've had enough fucking narratives to fill up a cardboard make believe me narrative and I haven't heard anybody yet. Remember when we won the title and we were fucking bad champions after 12 games. We got beats 72. We had no center ads. We were signing Ozen Quebec and a guy named Davies who I've never seen play football ever. Winchester city haven't won it. Seven fucking games. Seven games, gab. They haven't fucking won it. They are bad champions. You know who's going to be good champions? Arnold slots, motherfucking reds. That's who Gav. That's who Gav. That was emotional. But I have to say, look at this. What a start to Christmas. What a start to Christmas being. We're a advent. Angel Shamrock, made of cardboard, advent calendar made of cardboard. And instead of chocolate and so it's just media narratives around live up who left say, which let me let me be perfectly honest, right? I knew fuck all about it. I said, what? It's narrative corner. He said, what happened on the force of December? I immediately thought advent calendars because I bought my children some on Friday. I'm one of my children, namely the young male one. It's just like, can we have this now? What you mean, Mundy? Oh, it's all up, baby. Yeah. So every Utah count, he's allowed to open. Well, he's meant that he was meant to open up one today, but he hasn't. We told him, we told him Tuesday, our Mundy. So every fourth one he opens is going to say Liverpool haven't played anyone yet. I'm half taken to take the chocolate and just replacing them with media narratives around Liverpool, football club to be fairly fair. I think it'd be a really, really education. Yeah, maybe. Do you know what I might do? I might make one up, open them every morning and read them to him and see his reaction and film them at the same time. Because he was just saying, he was like, you, you, you mess. Which he doesn't offer a lot to me because I'm constantly messing with him. Anyway, Merry Christmas, everybody. Liverpool are knowing points here in the Premier League. They've got 11 points here at Mansey with a tune in the win today. Make sure to check out our post my show, which was excellent. It's there to watch and to listen to because I got all done before it on this show. And this one will be available to watch and listen to as well. If you are subscribed, thank you. Subscribe, like, comment, become a member, do that as well. Am I going to have loads of fun starting tomorrow? I told you I'd make you go over the hour, Gab. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. And listen, I'm actually okay because that was fantastic. And I got to use my nine. What do you call them? Sounds. Yeah, which I'm going to add to in a big way. You got to sign up with the showbiz, baby. I will do. I will do when we're finished. But yeah, from tomorrow, I did promise you you're going to see more of us. So from tomorrow morning, you're going to see a half an hour show with me. And that will be free from 10 44 to 11 15. And then you know, before that, if you're a member, you're going to have the authority. If people don't know what that is, it's basically me talking to people at 10 o'clock in the morning, where everybody has a cup of tea. And we all talk about whatever we want to some football majority of it's not majority. It's basically what your favorite field. That's basically what it is. Right? And it's it's ridiculous. And we are going to do more stuff on the looks of TikTok, YouTube shorts, all sort of things. We should be back tomorrow night as well. And we'll be back Tuesday. We'll be back Wednesday. We'll be back towards before the all sort of thing. But you're wanting to say, I think. Yes, before we go, obviously, the single most important thing is we still have our two charity partners that we're raising for, which is fans supporting food banks and lighthouse cafe and Dublin. Please, please, it is the worst time of year to be going without in a season of giving and joy and family and caring. These are two organizations that are doing the type of work that John McLean could never dream of doing, which is giving back to others. Please help us support these two wonderful organizations, helping to give people the absolute bare minimum at this time of year, at all time of years. So, if you can donate, you'll find the GoFundMe link in any of the show descriptions, whether you're watching on YouTube or following later on a podcast download. If not, please take it, share it amongst Twitter, blue sky, India, text message groups, whatever you got. But just, yeah, please help us raise money because these people are doing fantastic work. Correct. Also, we want to show out to football producers and their latest offering closes tomorrow, which is all around, I think, it's all centered around this and bowling stuff like that. Loads of soil and stuff going on there. So, if you want to check them out, they'll link us in the description as well. Onbok says, "Amen Don't Be Was Involved In The Greatest Moment In Irish TV History." Jerry Tan says, "Like all the mattress?" Does, what? Was that calling a mattress? No, no, no. "Amen Don't Be Was Involved In The Greatest Moment In Irish TV History." It's the rather little clip, which Jerry Tan references, which I think Matt has seen. If he hasn't, I'll make sure he does get to see it very quickly. And I will try, yeah, that clip as one of my sound body things as well. Just to let people know, in Doyhart's film, John McClain jumps out of a helicopter to try to stop a plane. And when he lands on the ground off the plane, he blows that plane up, killing all these bad people, and actually creating a runway for planes that are so low on fuel to use as a runway. The fire walks as a runway, and what is that? That is walking to give back to people. Merry Christmas, everybody. It's the first of December. Thanks to Matt. Thanks to me. Thanks to everybody in the chat. When I say it's being mental, it's being fucking mental. All right, now. This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.
