0:00Previously on My Biddy Art It's Liam Rossini. Hull City. I had that one. Reading. Not like Reading. Not like Reading. Brighton. For the game, it'd be better for you to get this one wrong. I am pretty sure he also played for Ripswich. It's one of his Lord Moves. The big man's back in town.
0:21It's one of those games that's quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's my video. I'm Marcus Fellow. I'm Jim Campbell. And I'm Vidush and Ahantaraja.
0:49Welcome back to another edition of My Biddy Aunt. After a couple of weeks of Jack and his encyclopedia, we've decided to summon our collective Biddy Aunt. It's Vish versus Marcus for the belt. and I am, of course, on the buttons, where it is safer for me to be. If you don't know the rules, they are simple. Would you say that if you're on an aircraft? Oh, absolutely not. Is it run with buttons? I suppose there are buttons involved. Yeah, yeah. Definitely. A couple of levers. You've seen in the film, they go, and it goes up. Absolutely, yeah. It's like a PlayStation controller, maybe. I don't know.
1:20I don't know. Even then, I'm just staying away. But I've got the buttons today. Each round, if you don't know the rules, they are very simple. I will explain them. In every round, I will name a footballer, one of Marcus or Vish will bid how many of their clubs they can name. Their opponent can then raise the bid or challenge their opponent to list them. Only professional clubs count, and the player must have made a competitive appearance for that team. If you fail to meet your bid, your opponent scores. First three points wins. The theme today I will reveal in a moment. It's a good one. I think you're both going to like it.
1:53How are we feeling? Vish is back in town. He's cleaning up. He is cleaning up. Yeah. It's Brock Lesnar stuff. I'm going to dirty him up. Right, okay. So you're going to play dirty. That's the plan. He didn't even say he's going to play dirty. He's going to dirty me up. And then I'll clean up. Same old Marcus.
2:16Oh, dear. Right, well, on that, today's theme is shithouses. Oh. So this is going to be a particularly interesting one. I think you can probably predict who some of the people are. but I'm telling you there are some great great names in here so Marcus is the challenger so he is going to go first here we go round one with eight clubs is Emiliano Martinez start with one of the big big hitters one of the big swinging trophies eight clubs eight clubs I'm going to keep saying that until I get more clubs in my mind Marcus as is your right we don't want dead air do we so we're happy if you're just going eight clubs over and over again like a disgruntled man in a golf club bar very very disgruntled can I get you closer to being gruntled you could just filibuster this I'm going to filibuster would that win me the if we absolutely not
3:17that's what he did on that beach didn't he filibustered well Phil did yeah I'm handing Vish a point here I think I am going to be very, very boring and conservative. Two. Right, okay. Two. Go on, Vish. Two from Emi Martinez. Yeah. Three. I mean, obviously, I have to give you the opportunity to go for four markers. Yeah. I've shat the bed on this. It's so frustrating. No, go on, Vish. Give Vish a point. Vish, for the sake of the listener, we know how good you are at this game. Do you want to go higher than three? There's an early opportunity to showboat here. No. No, okay. All right. Attitude. All right.
3:56Vish, can I hear you? three clubs from you. He played for Arsenal. Correct. He plays for Aston Villa. He sure does. And he went on loan to Sheffield Wednesday. He absolutely did. Do you know what? Sheffield United was a side that I was toying with. He's had a lot of loans. He has had a lot of loans. From Arsenal. Some of them quite low down. Oxford City, is that? Oxford United. Oh God, bloody hell. In order, it was of course Arsenal, then Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hetafe Reading and of course Villa so some tough ones in there no but I it was I knew it was lone clubs and it was like I had no tickle the only tickle was Sheffield United which would have been wrong I thought it was he'd played for Brentford and I was looking at the answers so I do have some sympathy for you I thought he'd played for a team that didn't exist yeah Oxford City do exist do they?
4:48not a professional side well there you go they wouldn't have got a point does Vish get a point for thinking Oxford City? Vish does get a point for winning the round. Okay. So it is 1-0 to him. For moving us on from Emi Martinez, I should get more than one point given how long he wasted. Again, I don't have a button to punish you with. Biddy biddy. That'll have to do it. Okay, right. So Vish, you go first now. Round two, this player played for seven clubs. He is Samir Nasri. Oh, Samir Nasri. Seven clubs. That medical facility doesn't count. Naughty. Yeah, Samir Nasri. I can see Vish is going to have this one as well.
5:26My opening bid is going to be five. Five. Marcus, can I hear six? No. No? Okay. Vish is through on goal. Yeah. Might he trip over his own laces and hand the point to Marcus? We will see. I doubt it. Vish, he knows. He's got the bit between his teeth here. He does. I think he was a ball boy at Marseille. But did he play for them? Did he play for Marseille? I'm going to say Marseille. Yeah, he did. Good. Good connection, then. Well done. Cheers. Arsenal? Yep. Man City. I believe that happened, yes. West Ham. Correct. And Sevilla. Correct. Yeah, I had Sevilla. Yeah, you got five there. You also could have had Antalya Spore or Anderlecht, which are tricky, to be fair.
6:12Which is why I couldn't go six. Anderlecht? Yeah, I'm surprised at that. As in now? No, he retired in 2020. Oh, wow, that long ago? Yeah. Oh, sorry, we've seen photos of him recently. he has definitely retired a while ago again you get a little did he play in Turkey kind of thing yeah well 2-0 to the champ already I'm getting torn apart you are getting pasted
6:42Vish to Marcus nil but Marcus you have a chance to turn it around here because you're going first and your latest shithouse is Robbie Savage Robbie Savage who played for seven clubs. Seven bloody clubs. Robbie Sodding Savage. Yeah, to give him his full name. Which you're not getting an extra point for that, for showing off that you know that. I just feel like I'm just throwing this all away. It's difficult when you're up against Bish. He's annoyingly good at this, isn't he? Yeah, he is. I need a number from you soon, mate. Biddy biddy. One of those. Oh, I'm just going to hand it to him. Oh, look at the glint in his eye He's probably got all seven of the bastards How can I not know more of what that dick's done?
7:32I've just chucked it away Three Three? Okay Vish, can I hear four? Yeah, four Oh dear, oh dear Do you want to go five, Marcus? I'll go five Yes! Here we go Well, I have to Because otherwise he's just going to get it So, I mean, I'm guessing Go down swinging So let's get the three I know Hold on, hold on I could go six Oh, that's true. You could do six. Go on. I was really hoping you would there. Derby. Derby County is correct. Blackburn. Blackburn Rovers also correct. Leicester. Leicester City is correct. Now, there will be people listening to this screaming at me going, for crying out loud, how can you not remember him playing in that particular place?
8:15And I can only apologise. he played lower league Macclesfield or Macclesfield town he also played for crew Alexandra Birmingham City Birmingham Brighton and Hove Albion on loan in 2008 and Stockport Town in 2019 to 2020 who were your other one I completely missed Leicester City so I had Blackburn Birmingham Derby County and crew I didn't know crew I knew he'd play for lower league Maybe did he manage? Yeah, he's manager of Macfield. I couldn't forget. I thought he might have been player manager or something. He did actually start his professional career at Manchester United, but he made no competitive appearance.
8:58I did know not to fall for that one. What a disappointing day for me. That was utter shite. It's 3-0 to Vish, but we're going to carry on. Because it goes towards the end. Exactly. Vish has a chance to keep kicking you, and it is 3-0 to him. The next player played for eight clubs and that is Marko Arnautovic. Big old shithouse. Eight clubs. Been a while, hasn't it, since we've heard from Marko Arnautovic, but he does tend to just pop up here and there. Five? Five. Five is good. Marcus, can I hear six? Go on, Vish, do your five. Stoke. Stoke City is correct. West Ham. Correct. Inter. Correct. Played for Inter three times, twice on loan.
9:49Bologna. Bologna. Correct. And Werder Bremen. Werder Bremen. Correct. What the fuck do you know Werder Bremen? Because that's where he came from. He went to Stoke from there. I know that because he's a player I looked at online a little while ago trying to just get these things to stay in my mind. This is ridiculous. And yeah, that was the one I remember. So I, do you know what? I was going to have a punt. I had four of those. I was going to have a punt with the Chinese club he went to. Well, that was Shanghai SIPG. Would you have got that, do you think? I was going to go either them or Shanghai Shenua.
10:17Yeah. But obviously, I didn't get the chance to do it. Yes. So he started his career at Twente and finished up at Red Star Belgrade, or he's certainly at Red Star Belgrade now. I didn't know he was at Red Star. Interesting. Yes. This reminds me of if you've ever played table tennis against someone who knows... Really good. Like really good. Because everyone's like... Like Timothee Chalamet. Right, apparently. Or Prince. Was. I'd love to see that. Yeah, not two little blokes. Really good at basketball as well, Prince, despite being little. He was good. He might still be doing that. True. If he can do whatever he likes, he probably is.
10:52Yeah, if you've ever, if you've ever done, you know, and you're playing, I say, someone really good, because you think, oh, I'm not bad, I'm playing, whatever. Because it's quite an accessible sport, isn't it? it's like, you just, I feel like that right now, vicious like playing a different sport to me. I'm just getting absolutely trounced here. Anyway, let's see if I can get a consolation. Well, it is your turn, Marcus. Go on then. Our next shithouse play for eight clubs and is Neil Mopay. Neil Mopay. Eight clubs. I have no hope in myself here, but I'll give it a damn good go, Jim. And the mind goes blank.
11:23Oh, bloody hell. What are you thinking, Marcus? What are you thinking at the moment? You can always increase the bid before you officially submit it. I'm thinking, I am struggling here. Three. Three clubs for Neil Mopay. Vish, are you going to break Marcus's heart even further? smash it into pieces gather the pieces freeze it together and then smash it together I'm glad you've gone five five five is good do the whitewash then I feel like that wasn't in the spirit of the game maybe I should have gone four and you should have gone five oh I wasn't going five but you said five do you want to go six no that is the spirit because you're showboating you're four nil up right go for the whitewash do a big swing I mean to be fair if there's ever a game in which to shit out exactly it's a showboat it's this isn't it I was going to hit him over the head with a belt in a bit yeah do it we'll do that for the whatsapp video yeah yeah Yeah, we'll do it for the WhatsApp.
12:12Brentford. Correct. Brighton. Also correct. Everton. Correct. I've got Everton. Marseille. Correct. He's at Sevilla. Has he played? He is currently at Sevilla. Yes. And he has indeed played. Okay. Or I assume he would not be in the list. Yes. So there you go. For a moment I was like. Did you say Brighton? Yeah. He did say Brighton. So the other options you could have had were Nice and Nice 2. Saint -Étienne and Saint -Étienne 2 that's of course in that strange period where French clubs were making sequels of themselves and could also play for Brest but just just Brest they did not do a sequel so this wins quite convincingly so what were your five Brighton, Marseille Brentford, Brighton Everton, Marseille Sevilla yeah Everton how the fuck did I forget Everton oh but this game does horrible things to you well and it's done a horrible thing to me because I've been utterly battered about the head and body you've had your pants pulled down I really have I think the most annoying thing for you will be going back in that office after we finish this recording seeing Luke in there and he's going to look at you and try and ascertain what happened in the game Luke's often disappointed in me for some reason whether it's fair or not so it's not going to be a new feeling for me it is hard to unpick the reason well I think that I need to apologise to the people who listened to this who were expecting a good bout sorry but fans of Vish my goodness I mean that is like Barcelona doing Mourinho's Real Madrid but like Mourinho's Real Madrid I will be back for another swing you're going to poke me in the eye outside if I if I have to because it's I think it's getting to those levels yeah I mean if you don't need to do that now then when do you need to do it exactly yeah well there we are everybody thank you very much for listening to the Football Ramble part of the ACARS Creator Network we'll be back on Monday to react to all the weekend's football make sure you're following us on all the socials at Football Ramble and subscribe on YouTube Spotify Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
