3:59Luke Moore: Who's the number two again? What's his name? Anthony Barry. Because he's from Liverpool. He is. He's had a lovely old time. He's had an amazing career because he's someone who never really played at that higher level. Like his Wikipedia page is about scoring goals and the Football League trophy and stuff. And obviously became a well-respected coach and hooked up with Tuchel. I think it was with Tuchel at Bayern Munich. Hooked up with Tuchel. And probably Chelsea as well, maybe? I can't remember. It's the Paul Clement. It's the Paul Clement. Yeah, Paul Clement. Although Clement then, when he sort of goes, I'll have a go at number one, it didn't quite work out, which is a bit of a shame.
4:31No, exactly the same as Carlos Kieres. That was so. Lee Carsley as well, a little bit of that about him, making the step up to the temporary England job.
4:37Luke Moore: I think, I think Carsley definitely, I say definitely, I think he could be a future England manager. But Carsley wasn't an assistant manager. Sure. he was just under 21 I think there are parallels I love Carlos Kuros do you remember Carlos Kuros is basically on Alex Ferguson's tit every season and every so often he'd take a year away from the tit go and try a bit of formula milk didn't like it very much get back on the foggy tit again I remember that I was like be quick real Madrid is it real Madrid maybe not maybe as like as full of milk ready for the challenge I don't know but the best thing is that Paul Clement is from South London never played a football game in a professional capacity as a player.
5:14And those two things
5:15Luke Moore: you could say the same about Andy Brassel. You could, but although one of them is now assistant manager of Brazil. Yes. The other one is not. Of Brazil, Jim. That's lovely. Assistant manager of Brussels. Yeah. Raising a family. That's true. Yeah. I loved it though when Kiros, I think he came back for the second time but I remember on the pod you just going, Uncle Alex, I failed again. Get me back on that take. Get me some of that delicious colostrum. Delicious football colostrum. Do you know what? Don't say that because Pete will find some AI thing and... Do you know what he sent me the other day?
5:48Go on. Can't wait for you this. Was it fruit eating itself? He sent me one the other day which is fruit eating itself. Okay, I want... Let's go through these one by one. This is on Instagram, by the way,
5:56Luke Moore: so it's not some like... And he wouldn't send that to me. Well, you wouldn't know how to open it. My phone wouldn't let me. I've got a Pete Donaldson setting, which Apple give you, by the way. It was... I've never seen that ghastly film, Child's Play, the horror film. Oh, yeah, with Chucky. Yeah. I was actually talking to my wife about my son going as Chucky to Halloween this year. Fucking hell. That'd be good. It's funny, isn't it? Yeah, it's good. I'm not going to kill anyone. It's not real. I thought they'd give him an actual knife. Oh, yeah, sorry. I'm being a bit silly here. Anyway, Pete sent me an AI thing.
6:30Luke Moore: A video nasty. I'll let you decide that it's a video nasty. And I presume it's a scene where this bloke finds the doll for the first time. And he picks it up and he's like, what's that? Yeah, I can't remember that, I think. Yeah, I think it's under the sink or the cupboard or something or whatever. And he picks it up and obviously our version is he then just starts getting off of it. And I was like, thank Peter. The great thing about Pete's sharing of memes is he curates them from individuals. He does, yeah. It's like there are swathes and swathes of the internet that I couldn't find if he gave me like a week and gave me like an actual lesson into how to sort of surf the dark web.
7:15The things Pete can find.
7:16Luke Moore: It's not too dark webby. We're not saying he's like... I don't think he's a wrong one. I bet he's been on there. No, but that's about what you're saying. That's just to buy drugs. I bet he knows that. Yeah. If I need to find out how to go on there, he's going to be the first person I ask. That's all I'm saying. Is that right? What was it he sent you? A load of video. an AI generated top 10 video of the top 10 fruits eating themselves. Right. So basically it's like an AI... So is it a banana eating a different banana or a banana eating itself? So imagine like a kind of anthropomorphised banana with a face eating a tiny banana.
7:55Luke Moore: What was number one? Blueberry. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. I love that you remembered that. Pineapple must have been in there. Yeah. I can't really remember. Blueberry's definitely number one. Was a tomato in there? Because that's actually a fruit, Jim. Marcus, it's very difficult to discern what the ranking system was based on. Yes. I'll be honest with you, because they're all very similar. But they tallied it up at the end. Yeah. Steve Clarke said, these are the rankings. Jim, did you not even know that tomato's a fruit? I did know that. Oi, who's your mate, Marcus? Turns out. Who's your mate? You know what I say?
8:25Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad, Jim. Have you heard that one before? Uh-huh.
8:30Luke Moore: Yeah. And to assume, Jim, is to make a knob out of you and me. Yes. do you know that we know more about the surface of the moon than we do our own oceans I didn't know that I assumed it Carlos Curios knows that Fergie told him why is he getting so many strays Carlos Curios he's getting as many strays as Robbie Earl got last week his Iran side were quite charitable to England in the last World Cup that is a stray though isn't it Iran I'll marriage them He looks great for 72, Carlos Kuros. 72? You heard it, yeah. Wow. It's all that Ferguson milk. Yeah, kept him young. That teat kept him young. Maybe he still goes back there.
9:13Yeah. A little suck on it.
9:13Luke Moore: That's true. Yeah, a little suck on it. Maybe Fergie should have a little... You don't come around and get off. Made you some cheese from it. Take it. Yeah. Oh, dear. And old... What was his name? Mike Phelan? More than a Phelan. More than a Phelan. Yeah, he's 104. He must have been on the teat as well. Higher or lower? Do you think Mike Phelan's older or younger than Kuros? He's younger than Kiros Older You're out of your mind Why give the option If it isn't He's 10 years younger 10 years Wow I mean I didn't think It was older But I didn't think It warranted that reaction A few things about Some interesting stuff For here about Carlos Kiros I've got it in front of me Go on then Was a goalkeeper As a player Was he Yeah Was born in Mozambique Right okay Not mainland Portugal Interesting It's a different country His No Mozambique was owned by Portugal then.
10:02Hence his Portuguese nationality.
10:03Luke Moore: Oh, yeah, some empires are different. Yeah, okay, fine. And his managerial career since 2011 is the definition of a lovely old job. Go on then. I'm not sure how many of these jobs he's getting paid in cash. But I'll have a guess. I probably couldn't have a guess. I wouldn't be able to. But you know what I mean. I think you're legally fine to speculate if certain clubs paid the manager in cash. 2011, Iran. eight years there eight years good stint straight bounce across to Colombia for a year I'll tell you what yeah cryptocurrency that one yeah I'll come back to that in a minute I've got a little story but year off and a year at Egypt right nice short stint at Iran again let's see if we can rekindle the magic yeah we can't yeah well it was at the World Cup Qatar oof lovely job that's it maybe I mean they say that the sun ages you I think we've got that wrong Recently.
10:59Luke Moore: I do think Cash was involved in all of these. He's now. On reflection. He definitely got paid for his services, Jim. A couple of months into a lovely stint in Oman now. Really? Yeah. Do you know what? It's just a number, Carlos. I would say, let's say a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. So it was you. A number of, no, definitely wasn't me when you hear the story. This was a number of years ago. Went to shoot a film in Colombia a while ago. and it was one of those sort of joint ventures and blah, blah, blah. But as I said, I do stress it was a few decades ago. And when leaving the country was, sorry, when finishing up on the film, went into, you know, the powers that be or whatnot, you know, he's thinking, well, I haven't been paid, you get paid after the job.
11:46Luke Moore: And he's thinking, I don't know how we're going to do this, you know, sort of a check sent through or whatever. And had to get on a plane, by the way, back to, I don't know where this person was living, either here or the States, given two enormous bags full of cash. If it's under 10 grand, you haven't got to declare it. It was over 10 grand. You've got to declare it then, I'm afraid. I don't know what this person, hence I said a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. I genuinely don't know them, I should stress. But it's one of those ones where you go, right, this is Colombia in the 1990s.
12:16Luke Moore: I can't exactly push back on this really, but I have earned this money. That's annoying. That's annoying. I've done the work. I've done the work. How am I going to pay this in? Why didn't he just go to a Colombian bank and just exchange it for a cheque? It was Colombia in the 1990s, I think. It's going to cost you a bit. Was there a Western Union? Someone's going to need to get their beak wet. We all agree on that. But I'm sure it could be done. Well, anyway, I don't know the ins and outs of what happened after that. And it's probably for the best. I've saved my best Carlos Kuros fact for last.
12:49Yes. Took over from Arsene Wenger at Nagoya Grandpas 8. oh I do like that in 1996 he was the successor to Arsene Wenger he wasn't very good
12:59Luke Moore: I guess that but the funny thing is though is because Wenger goes from there to Arsenal and the famous Fergie quote he's come from Japan it's the way he said it it's the definitive idea of how you say something is important the thing is when you watch that clip back it's not as extreme as we all make it sound now but the tone is there it is but there's a few times he said it so I reckon the the over emphasis was one I saw in particular but you are right there are examples of it where he says it and he goes he's come from Japan it's quite but it's still there but anyway Kiros he came from Japan in a way as well and Fergie thought get on my teat get on my teat strap on which of all which of all the best which this is the proper uncut business now you don't want to get this on another podcast and there's a good reason for it yeah we're talking about managers teats of all the famous Ferguson assistants who do you reckon sucked on the tit most greedily because you've got Phelan, you've got Kidd, you've got McLaren, you've got Kieros, you've got, what's the fellow Marcus who was with Archie Knox?
14:01He was at Ferguson for a while, wasn't he? Archie's not having a suck on the tit. He's having a bike. They're all having a suck on it, Marcus. That's part of the deal. Yeah, you've got to. You've got to power yourself up. Isn't that what? Greedily. You're not good enough on your own. That's the whole point. Rank them, Marcus. Have some of the serum. Knox, Kieros, Kidd.
14:18Luke Moore: No, Knox is not. and Knox would have had an understanding. He'd have looked to that. McLaren. He'd have looked to that and gone, no, put them away. Ferguson famously, you're not telling Ferguson to put his tits away. If you're Archie Knox, you are, Jim. He's the only guy. Jim, you know why Ferguson always wore that May United blazer as well? Because underneath the shirt, a little flap to the tip. Yeah, sure. A little flap down there. And he gets stuck into it. What other assistants were there? No, I'll tell you what, class of 92 were having a suckle. I'm feeling, oh, there we are. There still are.
14:46It's the next, it's the next. That's why Solskjaer started so well. Yeah, Beckham had to get out of it. It's the next live overlap fan debate. They've already started selling tickets. Well, hang about. Did Kieros manage Beckham? I think he did. What, Madrid? Yeah. Could have done. I'll have a look if you want. Yeah, because I think maybe Beckham moved there to get away from it. I think McLaren is the most hardcore suckler. No. He managed England. He had the biggest ambitions. He would have done, because didn't Beckham go to Real Madrid in 2003? Yeah, yeah. Kieros was there then. There you go.
15:16Luke Moore: No, I think McLaren have had a little suck. All right, okay, that's enough. And then get on with it. Yeah. McLaren strikes with the kind of guy who would probably still want to go back for a little suck. Top himself up. Why not? It's about marginal gains, Marcus. Well, Jimmy, that means sucking on your kind of mentor's nipples to improve your own performance. Wisdom. Yeah. Yeah, then you're going to do it, aren't you? Colostrum, nutrients, wisdom. Yeah. It's the reason they call it liquid gold. Exactly. Maybe a little bit of charisma. Rest is best. I tell you, I'd tell you something, Reuben Amarum could do without having a suck.
15:48Luke Moore: I could. If I was Sir Alex, I'd go down there and I would say, I've got nipples, Reuben. Could you suck on these? I could definitely see Amarum getting called into a meeting room quite ceremonially. Yeah. People have got gowns on and stuff and they say, Reuben, there's only one thing left for you to do. There's one stone that is as yet still unturned in your quest for success as main merger. you know the supplies were depleted for a long while because Solskjaer was insatiable for it absolutely he could not get enough of it as a player I imagine it became a bit of an addiction did Mourinho do you reckon when he went there I reckon Mourinho did yeah respectfully but I think he would have sensuously I think he would have said squeeze a bit into a shot glass and I'll do one like that like a grappa like a little grappa I think I think Amorim as we speak right now could be getting stuck into it.
16:45Luke Moore: Last roll of dice. Renny Muenenstein was another. Yes. He's another assistant. Oh, yeah, he's high on the milk. Yeah, definitely. He is. He's pretty rent-a-gob, isn't he? Stirring some weed into it. You don't even get weed milk now, don't you? Yeah, outrageous. Yeah. I thought, this can't get any worse. A bang. Oh, I could always get worse. Don't you worry about that boy. You know where you hit the wall, don't you? And I would say to the producers, if you don't want us talking about people sucking on Ferguson's tits, don't put it in the running order. None. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

19:26You said on the main show, if I remember correctly, that you wanted to speak about the longest away trip in Britain or something like that.
19:33Luke Moore: Yes, so I did. So I did. Truro City. You're starting to get... Down in the West Country. The producers, they have put in there, they're suggesting other assistant managers for us here so it's their fault as well yeah but we've we've brainwashed them do Truro City Truro City faced Carlisle in the the National League you know Carl's Kiro's used to manage them but he did milky bastard the milky bastards are on me and in doing so they broke the record for the longest trip for an English league game an 878 mile round trip to Cumbria so I have a problem with this I do as well because they're not in the football league they're in the National League which isn't hitherto really well they say an English league game which you know is actually a bigger sample well I concede it's part of the English Football League system but I thought you were going to go with the top four divisions yeah well I'm not okay fair enough you carry on 78 fans made the journey to see their team get beat 3-0 it's not why you're there so there's a guy that Pete and I know called Piers who is the drummer of a band called the Boxer Rebellion remember them?
20:36oh yeah he's a diehard South End United fan and he posted on his Instagram stories relatively recently South End had a trip to Truro and he went and he left at something like 4am and got back midnight
20:49Luke Moore: wow well they're going to break their own record when Gateshead will travel to Truro next month Gateshead will break the record you know yeah because that'll be even further east and Gateshead is not that far away from where my giddy aunt lives oh very nice north east of England absolutely yeah I had a fascinating chat with Mikey DeArndt. You had a chat. We'll be the judge of it. Indeed. Can you set the scene for us? We were sat down and we were talking. Can I just tell you how much I'm trying to resist a callback about sucking on a team? I know, which is why I wanted a story in between.
21:30Luke Moore: so she's in her 80s and she was we were talking about the differences of generations and all that kind of stuff and how sort of technology is advanced nothing to do with Brexit don't worry about that staunch anti-Brexiteer it's very you know all that and and I reckon that that generation, I don't know if you'll see the changes that anyone... Now, obviously, in 40 years, if we're beaming up Scotty and we're living on the moon, then fine, I'll retract that statement. But bearing in mind... Quite a confusing tangent, that was. No, I'm saying that... Not to process that. Well, no, as in... I'm saying that that generation...
22:19So if people end up teleporting to the moon, you'll consider yourself corrective. Yes, exactly.
22:23Luke Moore: because my statement was that her generation, that generation, will have seen the most changes more in a sort of a technology kind of way. I suppose now right at the end with AI kind of becoming more and more advanced. I think that's a fad. Every day. Jim, she was... She'd blow over. I hope so. She was 24 before she lived in a place with an inside toilet. Wow. And now internet on phones. I'd be giddy as well. Yes, but isn't that mad? Yeah, yeah. My dad can remember going around to a friend of his, and I think he was probably in his late teens at the time, and coming home and going, I've got an inside toilet.
23:03Luke Moore: It's very unhygienic. Oh, really? Yeah, of course. That's interesting. But you think about it, though. Even someone who had, say, a more kind of middle-class upbringing, you'd have an outside loo. Your bath would be up by the ceiling in the kitchen, and you'd pull it down. These kind of things. That's what people had. And that was perfectly normal, perfectly fine. that would be if you didn't have an inside toilet that's extreme poverty in this country and now one of our friends sends us videos of fruit eating itself exactly and it's completely indistinguishable from the real thing apart from the little faces yeah the faces are a giveaway but isn't that extraordinary my granddad remembers watching the battle of Britain over the head I think he was about 10 at the time yeah I just I find that absolutely mind blowing how as I say the changes and how it kind of goes Absolutely, I totally agree.
23:53And then back in the day, then people were all wearing their cloth caps for the football, swinging those weapons, rattles.
23:57Luke Moore: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Paying tuppence to get in. Yeah. Did I tell you last week that I saw, I found out for the first time that Field Marshal Montgomery presented the Portsmouth captain with the league trophy in 1950. You certainly mentioned it to us. I don't know if you mentioned it on mic. A bit pompy guy, apparently. Yeah, I did like it because he's got a full-length statue. It's not just a bust. Or Monty outside, would it be Whitehall? Yeah, you're right. By the Senataf, I think it is in central London. He was from Alton in North Hampshire. Yeah. Do you know who else is from Alton in North Hampshire?
24:32Sportsman. In fact, I can give you a couple of people who are from Alton. Alison Goldfrap, Jim, one for you. Okay. One of your lot. Remind me. Singer. Singer. Goldfrap. Oh, okay, right. I thought you said Sporty. I did, but I can't digress. I'm doing this in real time. You have to keep up with me. All right. and I believe I'm right in saying Johnny Wilkinson's from Alton you believe? I think so yeah
24:55Luke Moore: if only there was a way we could check well I'm looking at these is this the Alton Towers Alton? no no it's not I'm afraid shame yeah I'm sorry no one lives there why is that a shame? well I just thought it was quite a nice idea that there's a town there as well and successful people come from such exposure to roller coasters I thought Alton Towers was from the Midlands didn't it? it is isn't it speaking of Stoke by the way go on I used to have a video a VHS video that used to get given at Christmas of like you know Danny Baker's own goals great times fabulous world of freak football that kind of stuff they were absolute gold those videos that was such a sort of insight into just football in general but there's lots of like Italian football kind of best ofs used to do their own Nick Hancock's Footballing Nightmares was a favourite well this is exactly the one I'm going to mention oh Stoke yeah because the whole conceit of the video is he's doing a lot of bits on location and they've taken into Stoke Poges in London instead of Stoke and that's the joke that's how little expectation we had of jokes I mean that is the shittest idea I've ever heard but it was a good gag it's not it's a terrible gag no but back in the day it was a good gag my friend once saw him in town I mean this is how far we've come couldn't remember his name we just kept screaming at him they think it's all over they think it's all over yeah I suppose he spent most of his time on that show screaming so you reap what you say is he a bad guy I don't think so is he a bad guy One of them's a bad guy now, isn't he?
26:19Who's that? Lee Hurst is a bad guy now. Yeah, Lee Hurst is a big Brexiteer type.
26:25Luke Moore: I mean, look, I didn't vote for the damn thing. I think it's a disgrace, but it doesn't necessarily make you a bad guy. No, absolutely not. I used to think that, but now I do think it does. I think if you're sticking at it now, you're a bad person. Yeah, okay, fair enough. If you made the vote to the best you thought at the time, with the information available to you, you weren't sure that you didn't know you were being lied to, and you had no way of predicting the future, because no one does, fine. if you're still sticking to it now, you are a cunt. Yes. And you've burrowed into that position and you're comfortable in it because you are fundamentally a cunt.
26:54Yeah. Yeah, I can't argue with that.
26:56Luke Moore: Shall we finish with something a little lighter? Yeah. Craig King, a sports writer specialising in Swiss football, tweeted about a strange situation in the Swiss fourth division. YF Juventus Zurich, whose home kit is black and white stripes, are wearing Barcelona's 22-23 third kit as their change trip this season. Funny, another big team, seem potentially more appropriate in some way. Maybe, Jim. Why are they doing that? Well, the vice president is a boyhood fan of Barcelona and said, I have good contacts with Barcelona. There is a contract stipulating that we are authorised to use these jerseys in competition.
27:31Luke Moore: Why then are they covering up the badge and sponsors with stickers of their own? Is he doing this on the cheap? I think so, yeah. Sure there's an IP concern here. I would have thought so. I've just looked up SC Young for the Juventus, proud club, won the Swiss Cup in 1936. 1936. 1936. Did you say FC Youngfellas Juventus? Is that actually what it says? Big Servette in the final, big club Servette. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think I mentioned this before. I used to play in a Sunday league where the team, it was always between us and them who would win the league. Where was this in Scotland?
28:03No, no, it was just in Surrey.
28:05Luke Moore: And it was always us that would win the league. But anyway, if you met them, you knew that as a worthwhile dig. because if I'm going to tell you that they would either wear full white Real Madrid kits or full Barcelona Claret and blue crits. And they played a beautiful game as well. I mean, they played the game. Okay. Yeah, I reckon some of them, if not all of them, were and still are Brexiteers. Shout out young fellows though.
