Why Arsenal Will Win The Quadruple, Predicting Every Champions League Knockout Game & The Best Player For Every PL Club This Season

10:04Reev:You know, he actually saw tears coming out of his eyes at one point. It's mint. We've made the Premier League manager feel totally helpless. But I agree with them. It's unreal. You agree? I agree with them. But if I was an Arsenal fan, I'd fucking love it. Right. Yeah. You should embrace just being everyone hating you. I mean, if we keep winning, it's quite an easy thing to embrace. You cry about it. No, I think Arsenal fans actually care about, like, it's always, I always see them make and think everything about them. It's like crazy. It's getting to a stage where people just moan about anything that Arsenal do.

10:35Reev:Whether or not it's a good thing or a bad thing. That is true to be fair. Jokras start scoring goals. Yeah, but they're not brilliant goals, are they? You start scoring from outside the box. Yeah, but it's not from 40 yards. You stick your nose into other... Most open-paid goals this season. Nah, but not enough. You stick your nose into other people's business, though, like the stuff that happens in other games. I think I've seen Rory retweet it. And then it's like, they retweet it. Yeah, no, but he's CEO of your family. they retweet it and says, if I speak, as if like, if it was Arsenal, everyone would be talking about it.

11:00It's not about you. We're talking about Arsenal now because you brought yourself into this conversation. It doesn't have a point though. The main character syndrome, On everything, any bad decision in another game, they bring themselves into it.

11:10Reev:No, I do think... We'll be the main character at the end of the season when we lift the trophy, am I right? Honestly, I think people... A lot of football fans do that though.

11:15Lewis Bowden:A lot. Yeah. You have to make it relevant

11:17Reev:to your own supporting of the club, don't you? I don't think you do that. But if you're...

11:21Lewis Bowden:I genuinely don't do that.

11:26Reev:They've said, oh, it's the same situation at West Brom, mate. No, no. He literally did do that.

11:30Lewis Bowden:Hang on. That's a relevant. That's a comparison. That's a comparison of how shit we both are. It's not him.

11:35Reev:Yeah, making it about you. Yeah, but not the Arsenal one. It's like, if that happened to us, the reaction would be worse.

11:39Lewis Bowden:Because he's not the same. That's how he's standing there. Yeah, yeah. Do you not understand the comparison? You're saying that West Brom players should be good enough to stay up in the championship. No, no. So you haven't listened to what I've said at all. I think we deserve to go down. The same way I think Spurs deserve to go down. I think Spurs have been one of the three worst teams this season, as have we. But I think outsiders looking in think they should be too good to go down. They're too big of a group to go down.

12:08Reev:But are you then comparing West Brom to that as well? Are you saying West Brom are too good?

12:12Lewis Bowden:No, no, no. I think people think that, but we're not. I get what you're saying. We are definitely bad enough to go down.

12:20Reev:Well, I think we should discuss this now, actually.

12:22Lewis Bowden:Yeah.

12:22Reev:Speaking of talking hot Spurs. Indeed. Now, obviously, Tom, only a matter of a few weeks ago, actually, I seem to remember you having a go at me and Lewis for suggesting that Spurs might go down. They're not going to go down, though, are they? This is not pushable. It's not going to go down, though. I actually, interestingly enough, he mentioned about momentum. He actually said, let me see something. No, he said, go away. He's going to go down. Actually, today, Tom made a great point about momentum of teams. And it's weird because I remember getting shouted at by Tom for talking about the momentum of, like, West Ham compared to Tottenham.

12:53And so it's good to see that he's came around to that right now, I think Yeah He's still wearing the same clothes, by the way Oh my God!

13:01Reev:It's not fucking exactly the same! Jesus, mate I'm repping concept He's wearing the hat as well And then, there I was yesterday, I think it was, Tom I was scrolling through TikTok No I was, I was scrolling through TikTok And a certain TikTok of yours came up, actually I'm a big fan of that Yeah, obviously, after the argument we had where he said No, we're really stupid in that You look so stupid. Yeah, we were dumb, dumb. Very stupid. Let me just play the TikTok a second here, guys.

13:27Lewis Bowden:I think everyone knows by now I'm a bit of a secret Spurs lover. I like Spurs. Oh, okay. They're probably my favourite team in the Prems. Good to have this one. However, them going down, which is now, that is likely. It's likely. Very likely. It's likely. Wait a second. But they're not. They can't win a game. Oh my God. That's what we've said. I was going to say, he's saying it's likely to go down. Wait, is he regurgitating what we see on the show and then making his own opinions on his TikTok?

13:56Reev:Tom Garrett, I'd like to ask you a question. That's interesting. Do you think Spurs could go down? Is it a yes or no? Because in two weeks, obviously, a lot has changed in two weeks, obviously. I've always said they could. You outwardly laughed at us. You said they could go down. Yeah. You called us idiots. Every name under the sun.

14:11Lewis Bowden:I didn't think they were. That's not true. Yes, you did. I didn't. You did. I said, I don't think they will go down. No, no, you called us idiots. You said they're not going to go down. I was talking about... That was nothing to do with Spurs. I was talking about momentum and everything, and you went and stolen all our opinions. You're doing it again, though. You've gone too early. Yeah, they might still... You should have waited for them to go down.

14:34Reev:No, that's not what's happening here, Tom. Because they're going down. Because we suggested two weeks ago that Spurs could go down, okay? Only two weeks ago. Yeah, two weeks ago. No, no, no. They're not going down. And then two weeks later, you've then agreed with us by saying, oh, they likely could go down. Should we clear you up what happens? Yeah, but a lot happens in two weeks, doesn't it?

14:48Lewis Bowden:So what do you think happens? A lot does happen in the game. Oh, well, they've lost more games. Opinion cheeses are a lot better. They still haven't won. Like we said, I thought they'd beat Palace. They didn't. So are you the idiots? Are you the idiots? So would you... I'm an idiot for sure. We'll give you the floor. You're always an idiot.

15:03Reev:Would you like to apologise? No. I'd like to see the club. What happens... Right, just to play the middleman shock. What happens if Spurs do stay up, though? Well, it doesn't matter because he's agreed to us. He's already swapped sides. He's got us idiots. Let's see the clip. For us to go down, just FYI. For dare to believe in, do you know what I mean? Yeah, let's see what was actually said. There was no fun. There's an asteroid. It's equal to the guy to keep them up. Well, nobody knows that, but we keep saying that surely they're too good to go down. Are they?

15:34Lewis Bowden:Yeah, they're not going to go down. They might go down. I suppose too good to go down. Of course they could.

15:38Reev:They have a lot of injuries, man.

15:39Lewis Bowden:I think they are.

15:40Reev:They've got 12 first-game injuries. Yeah, they could.

15:42Lewis Bowden:But they could.

15:43Reev:I saw a deep sign they could. This isn't the right clip. So everything you just said is bullshit. No, we all remember the argument. This is the wrong clip. I've literally said... This is the wrong clip.

15:55Lewis Bowden:I've literally said they could go down. I don't think they will. Someone's going to have to find the right clip. No, no, no, no, no. Should you want to apologise for lying? No, because we all know we were on the show. It's the wrong clip. We were on the show. We all remember the argument. We all remember the argument. What clip? Where you were shouting out. I don't think that happened.

16:13Reev:It did happen. It might have happened later on in the show, actually. But look, ultimately...

16:17Lewis Bowden:We just keep up on the clip.

16:22Reev:Ultimately, it's just more proof that you flip-flop your ideas every two weeks. Is it? Have I maintained that? We should pull it up now. I've said they could,

16:30Lewis Bowden:but I don't think they will.

16:31Reev:I know you said they will.

16:33Lewis Bowden:I actually don't know anymore. Anyways. The bit you were having at the time was Tom was saying, why does everybody think West Ham are this good? They're never going to catch Spurs. It wasn't about being this good.

16:47Reev:It was about points on the ball. That's like... They're not one point against Spurs. Huge win at Fulham, mate. Can Wolves stay up? Well, according to Will, who did a drunk tally of the points, you're actually going to survive. Yeah, we are. That was before West Ham and Forrest picked up points, though. And what I will say, though, you actually might not finish last. I don't think we will. That is an achievement in itself. Is it? Yeah, wow. People were talking about they're going to break Derby's record. It's a fairly long-standing Premier League team getting relegated in 19th.

17:17Lewis Bowden:Wow. If you take... When's the parade? If you take the last four games in the Premier League, we're third in the team. If we take the last half an hour,

17:26Reev:then Wolves are unbeaten. You have got Leeds and West Ham in the next three, though. We're, yeah. Yeah, which is a big one for you. Obviously, moving back onto the FA Cup. Yeah, because that was a bit of a fail. No, it wasn't, though, was it? That was a bit cringe on it. It's just funny how you flip up your ideas constantly. You're so excited to try and... Flip up your ideas constantly. Also, do you remember when you had a go at me? Actually, you were. You don't like being caught out. You do that face. That wasn't caught out. It's that guy's slightly saying it's embarrassing. That wasn't caught either.

17:50Well, no, he hasn't showed the specific clip. Stop the count, guys. He hasn't showed the specific clip.

17:54Lewis Bowden:What we said, you said. You did say. I said they could go down, but I don't think they will.

17:58Reev:What have you seen at Bournemouth that makes you think they'll turn their season out and finish ninth? They are one point off like 14th. They're ninth. They're ninth. Stop the count. Yeah, the Bournemouth. That Bournemouth. I told you, you're too early in the Bournemouth one. One point behind you. Anyways, guys, we're missing the fact that Newcastle United lost 3-1 to Manchester City. I'm lucky on the domestic double. And their domestic double isn't officially over. We've got the Champions League. That's not a domestic double. By tomorrow night, it could be just like, Oh, yeah. GG. Tomorrow night is the end of our football season.

18:24Two weeks ago, you said we're having a great season. Yeah, well, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't say that. I said... Yes, you did. You said at this point, we're in every round. Put it up. You're leaving out the key moment where I said, but in three weeks time we could be talking about how it's all shit and we said that will happen but I said that conversation had to happen when it went all to shit yeah but unfortunately we're having it now

18:45Reev:it was inevitable well we're still the Champions League as of right now so thoughts I mean fucking lost to City it is what isn't it I mean he's a fact if we went through a little fact if we went through against Man City we would have been the first team in the FA Cup this century to beat three Premier League teams were you not though because because we are, yeah, no, well, the draw's a bit harsh. If we'd have won the FA Cup, we went through, who was it? We went through. The champions of the FA Cup. I think we had Forrest of Bournemouth and I think it was Forrest and then Aston Villa, City, and it's like, people are playing Corville and you're playing Mansfield.

19:22Sorry, are you talking about Arsenal's draw?

19:24Reev:You're talking as if it's like a giant killing every time you go through. You're one of the biggest teams in the Premier League. Yeah, no, but I feel like it's relevant. Like, we got knocked out by Man City. Like, who are one of the favorites. They are unfortunately the second best team. We beat two Premier League teams to get to this point where Steve Peoples still playing like League One teams. Luke, you mentioned Arsenal playing Mansfield as if we got a favourable draw which you did but have you not seen the last 10 years of Arsenal's draws? It's now the FA Cup. It's just the luck of the draw.

19:46Reev:No, I agree. I'm just adding context. We did go out to Man City. Well, they made 10 changes. You made your first team. Yeah, 10 changes. If we want to look at the starting line-up, fuck me. You're unreal. You played their second team. Yeah. I mean, it's Man City. We were good for 30 minutes and then we were shit. Credit Red Credit to Harvey Barnes' goal Was really good Yeah I'm willing for us To stop this Fulton Marder experiment Is it a worry That Newcastle can't beat A second string City team I mean I feel like That's a silly argument It's second string City team Still better than us Yeah Like That's you forcing A silly agenda there Theo That's just reading the prep Oh yeah Shut up That's literally what it says Yeah Shut up I mean They're just better than us In every single way Aren't they Not only Except for 30 minutes They're the parents of silverware, but also their best route to get back into your room.

20:31We were so good for 30 minutes. I don't know if it's tying us or what. We just fell off a cliff. Well, okay. I have your expert opinion. Why did we fall off after 30 minutes?

20:43Reev:I think you need to stop clinging on to like, we were good for 30 minutes every game. The game's not played in 30 minutes. It's a played night. I did watch the game. Who do you think was... No, no, no. But your manager needs to find a way of allowing your football team to play better for 90 minutes. Who do you think was on top? It doesn't really matter. It was relevant to what I said. We were really good for 30 minutes and fell off. But Lou, what I'm saying is the game is 90 minutes. No, no. It's all well and good being good for 30 minutes. Yeah, I agree. But as a football team, if you want to progress as a football team, you need to play good for 90 plus minutes.

21:11Yes, yes. But what I said is, Theo, we were really good for 30 minutes, but I don't know why. I don't know why. Do you want a trophy for that? What do you want? Can I finish? Can I finish, Theo? You get like this when you don't want to answer my question. We were good for 30 minutes, yes. and I said, I don't know why we fall off because it's just either tiredness or whatever, but you rolled your eyes. It's not tiredness. Okay, you rolled your eyes, went a tiredness. So why do you think it is that we fell off for 30 minutes?

21:36Reev:I think maybe tactically you might be inept a little bit. What tactical changes did they make? I don't know. I'm not the manager of Newcastle United. I'm not qualified to answer that question. No, but how come Newcastle was so tactically on top in that first 30 minutes? It can't be fitness because they're professional footballers and you can't be tired after 30 minutes. I'm sorry, that's not an issue. You can if you have the amount of games that are playing with the injuries. Okay, so what did Pep change? What did Pep change? Do you think it's acceptable for a footballer to be tired after 30 minutes of football?

22:01Okay, no, if it's not fitness, that's fine. What did Pep change? I don't know, I just don't think your players are good enough. So for 30 minutes, they were really good, and then all of a sudden they stopped being good enough?

22:09Reev:No, because it's like a Mansfield than Arsenal. No, but they put up a fight because you've got heart and soul in the football club as well. No, there's a difference because we were actually dominating possession. We had eight shots on target, eight shots on goal, three on target. whilst they had no shots on target by the 30th minute. Yeah, but City do that a lot. That's what I'm saying. They allow you to have a bit of control. For me, I don't know why we fall for it. I do think it's a mixture of tiredness and match momentum, but you automatically went with the tiredness and then have no other solution.

22:35I think it's such a cheap thing to say

22:37Reev:for a Premier League football club to be tired after 30 minutes. I agree. It really annoys me. These are professional elite footballers who are the fittest people on the planet. You said 30 minutes, they're fucking tired so they stop playing football. I never said that was the sole reason. I actually said I don't know why. I don't know if it's Tynas or whatever but I think it's a cheap argument for you to go I just don't think How's good enough I feel like that's you haven't actually got anything to back up I think Tom's right I think Tom's right I think City are usually the team that sort of sits back in the first half and then second half they just absolutely punish you

23:04Lewis Bowden:they go through spells of allowing they don't mind teams having a little bit of control it's almost like to lull you in a full sense of security a little bit I think Pep just when he watched him he just completely out-tacticked Eddie Howe Like you had Byrne, Barnes Gordon Hall Just all moving around Which is no shame He does it to everyone I mean And I just think Howl couldn't They're like front four He's so like fluid At the minute I'd argue we were actually Tactically really good Initially Like because we were Punishing them We were punishing them Really well down the left Because obviously They pushed their right Nunes way up So every time It was Harvey Barnes Getting in behind And Hall getting in behind Because there was so much space there But it's just When it came into Later on in the game and we couldn't we just but that's my issue I'm saying you said you were

23:52Reev:tactically really good initially say for the first 30 minutes but you need to be tactically good for 90 minutes that's why your management need to sort your shit out but I'm saying that's a fair point I'm saying that's not weird I feel like it's a hollow point because you haven't you're not really pinpointing anything like you said he has to tactically be better it's like we'll just mention the tactics just then yeah so what so you're just I'm saying what's your point I'm saying it's all well and good being tactically alright for 30 minutes I agree But your manager, Eddie Howe, needs to find a way.

24:22Reev:I don't know how to do it, but he needs to find a way because this seems to be a recurring theme for you. Yeah, but do you not think it's a difficult thing to suggest that when it's like he has less weapons in his arsenal to Pep in terms of the players? We can't respond as well. The game was already kind of dead by the time you made changes. In fairness to Lewis, it was the worst start with Azula, Willick. None of these teams would get anywhere near Man City's second string. but also on contrary to that Will in the first 30 minutes you've proven that you could maybe but I feel like it's a silly argument saying tactically how's not good enough when we went to a Man United we absolutely slapped them about with 10 men tactically we were absolutely spot on that game against a Man United who were unbeaten under Carrick and then we brought that into the start of this game so just to say he just needs to tactically get better it's like he's against a Man City the best manager in the world and two of the best players in the world it's like it's a bit I think Pento Arion is just way more adaptable than Mark.

25:17Reev:Oh, yeah. But also, this isn't a one-off game issue. He also has the players to be really flexible as well. But it's not a one-off game issue, Lou. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying because where are you sat in the league right now? Law. Do you know what I mean? So there clearly is an issue that you are lower down in the league. You're out the domestic cup. So you're obviously not as good. But why is that the reason? Maybe a multitude of anything. We're a team who can't handle the... Because you're at home again. St. James' Park is normally known for the... We can't handle the amount of games.

25:44we can't handle the amount of games clearly like that's why when we get knocked out of everything which is happening very shortly unless we pull off something against Barca your Premier League season will kick on yeah we'll pick up points and we'll end up in the top half but it's like it's not too little too late we're really good when we play one game a week but if you're going to be a Newcastle United superpower you can't do that and it's also about retaining the players like there's rumours about everyone leaving if we start selling these big players it's like actually huge steps back who's rumoured to leave?

26:14Tenali to Arsenal Tenali Livermanto's gone he's so gone anyone else? Bruno G he's been linked to Man United hasn't he? he's there for life Bruno G Bruno G won't leave I'm scared I hope Lewis Hall I tell you what Lewis Hall Lewis Hall bar like one little mistake like he was brilliant would you put your life

26:33Lewis Bowden:on Bruno G not leaving? no I won't put my life on anything that would be a very risky thing to do what's going on with Ultimato? fucking hell well we clearly work way better as a team when someone has ability to press and we need like a creative like player in that position which he can be but he's not a midfielder he can't track he can't if you're a player with any technical ability like Man City have everyone you see Vultomar trying to stop you it's the easiest fucking day of your life to just get past him so but we haven't got a solution for that position Man United have already worked with Bruno's agent who was also Cunha's agent so they've already struck a relationship

27:09Reev:is that like a Casemiro kind of feeling could be Newcastle will be a replacement Directly 95 million I don't think Brunel I feel that But it's like this There'll be every single Transfer window With Newcastle There's always Because we're a team Who's not at the very top With really good players There's always Every single player Is always linked No Europe Mid table in the Premier League I'm not worried about Recruitment Really

27:33Lewis Bowden:I'd be more worried About the players you lose There is Honestly If they don't want to be there They can fuck off There are concerns Within the Newcastle What do you say, Will? There were concerns within the Newcastle United hierarchy that the same thing that happened at Izak could happen to Bruno this summer. Oh, no. I don't know why we're reading this. Kind of selling club again. I don't, I mean, like, I've not seen it from any of my sources inside the club.

27:58Reev:He's basically a Brazilian jewelry, like. He's not going to leave. He's not. He built in the culture. I don't think you'll find any Newcastle fan who thinks Bruno will leave. I'll happily say everyone else could easily go.

28:09Lewis Bowden:It doesn't matter what the fans think. All you're doing right now Is just building up For when he leaves Yeah Well if he does I'll say I was wrong The contract ends in 2028 They're going to offer him A new contract this summer Don't get me wrong I don't want Exact situation with anyone If any of them Fucking want to leave Go Half the half What's annoying is That Man United performance Is like Sums up like Where was all that The last Like fucking half the season United Liverpool though Yeah And do you know They have been a bit Piss pooer anyways So it does flatter us A little bit But it's like The effort with 10 men.

28:41It's like a lot of players out there just don't fucking, if they want to go, just fuck off then. Do you reckon he'll unfollow you? Yeah, he doesn't follow me, aren't he, Gordon? Bruno. Oh, Bruno? Nah, he's staying, man. He'll have a statue. He's not going to leave. Don't leave! He's not going to leave.

28:55Reev:Okay. He's not going to leave? You don't really believe that, do you? I've never been more certain in my life. Another, another, another, another, he's not going to go. He's just not. Save the clip. Another thrilling game in the FA Cup though, Wrexham losing to Chelsea but it was a good performance from Wrexham wasn't it it was an exciting game they gave it a real good go that offside goal is unfortunate I don't know why he touches it

29:17Lewis Bowden:it's going in isn't it I know it's in the moment though it is in the moment it looked to me like it was going in in the moment you can't leave that because he doesn't even know if it's going in does he is this a concern for Chelsea though they just nah FA Cup they were treating it like they'd you were 2-1 at Mansfield it was Wrexham's second team though

29:35Reev:yeah they rested players they rested tell you what Friend of the Shore window I saw Heather It looked like It was going to go in He should have started Very cool game Very exciting game

29:45Lewis Bowden:Pretty cool game Bit of a city red though

29:47Reev:Wasn't it That was a disgusting tackle

29:50Lewis Bowden:I can't believe those people Actually defending that It was fucking disgusting I know he's gone after And people don't like him That was a disgusting challenge He's knee height

29:57Reev:Yeah he just got Too engrossed in the occasion Didn't he

30:00Lewis Bowden:No he's just a dirty bastard No no Let's call it as it is He got That's why he did it though He's a dirty, horrible bastard. That's what he is. That's why he got too hyped, though, didn't he? No, he's a dirty bastard. He was trying to take him out. Yeah. And I think he probably... They were going at Gar Nacho all game. He's a dirty c***. Jesus Christ. He is. Bleep. No, let's not feel like, oh, he got hyped up. He just... No, he's horrible. That's an horrible tackle.

30:27Reev:No, I know it's... I'm not denying it's not a horrible tackle, but I'm trying to think of why he ended up doing it.

30:31Lewis Bowden:Everyone gets hyped up and don't tackle people knee-height, Theo. I don't think he was going out just trying to... He was trying to hurt him. What? Are we joking? Get it up.

30:40Reev:Is he notorious for that sort of stuff? Fuck knows.

30:42Lewis Bowden:He doesn't even start for them. I don't think. Like, mate, he's nowhere near. He's not trying to even win the ball there, in my opinion. No, I know. But yeah, we've all seen it, haven't we? To go back to the game.

30:59Reev:I think the calls were actually good. The what? All of the refereeing and VAR calls, I thought. Yeah.

31:04Lewis Bowden:There was no massive moments this weekend, was there? No. Stranger that works, isn't it?

31:09Reev:It's not Premier League and they get everything right. I wanted to ask you about Gerard Pedro. 18 goals and all comes now. I think it's like 10 in his last 10. He's got the most goals this year, isn't he? Calendar year in the Premier League. Yeah. Are we seeing potentially the best number nine ahead of the new season? One of the best anyway? I think he always was one of the best, wasn't he? He's now getting the goals. Did you take him over Beckett Tiki at all? What is the Jappan? I don't. They were talking about him, weren't they? Obviously, he's not an out-and-out nine. He's not really an out-and-out ten either.

31:41Reev:He's sort of just like a...

31:42Lewis Bowden:Nine and a half.

31:43Reev:Nine and a half. He is scoring.

31:45Lewis Bowden:He's starting to play more like a nine.

31:46Reev:Clinically, though, isn't he? He's very clinical. That could be the coaching. Yeah. He should start up top for Brazil in the World Cup, that's for sure. He will. Or will it be Thiago?

31:53Lewis Bowden:No, it'll be Pedro. What do we think about, actually, the very controversial Chelsea circle around the centre circle? That's cringe. Did you not see it? Mind games

32:03Reev:The second half When they came out Yeah so they came out When you do your huddles They did it around the semi-circle It was against Villa wasn't it? All of them Yeah It was against Villa And the Villa players were like What the fuck are they doing? It's just some stupid Fucking Will McKenzie stuff That he's pulled out Will McKenzie You really see though He's working isn't it? Yeah yeah Every team will start doing that Along with the corners Huddling around the semi-circle He just can't let it go can he?

32:30Lewis Bowden:He just can't let it go He's just a bitter old man. I do think, though, he gets stuff like that. People are laughing at him and that. But he's doing a good job. Yeah. Same, yeah. He's only lost against Arsenal. I'm glad he's not like a boring manager because we lost Amarim. We need someone like that. People laugh at Arteta with the fucking duck and all that shit in the light bulb. But... Check it on the egg. Bottom line is, whatever he's doing, he's working. Yeah. Like, who are we to judge the crazy ones? Football and experts, mate. Football and fans. It's a bit like when you say, when you come up with some fucking crazy conspiracy and you're like oh well they would have laughed at Einstein as well back in the day I never have crazy conspiracies mine's pretty spot on are you saying

33:09Reev:Liam Rossini is on Einstein's level he could be he's a pretty smart guy what he's saying if you don't mind me speaking for you is time will tell he could be a genius

33:19Lewis Bowden:a man of a generation oh no I'll watch this game I'll have seen more games Liverpool 1-3-1

33:25Reev:friend of the show Rob great goal

33:27Lewis Bowden:it was a really good goal Rob up the Rob

33:30Reev:and then a straight after

33:32Lewis Bowden:very similar to the Monday night game where it was a game of two halves the first half was shocking does this second half was pretty fun

33:41Reev:you know how Slotsman being sort of Kirk has over Rob and Rob sort of being like a second-ish player

33:45Lewis Bowden:I'd start Robertson

33:46Reev:he's only made two league starts he's not showing he is still capable

33:50Lewis Bowden:I think it's more it shows how bad Kirk has been yeah Robertson is still probably the better one and he shouldn't be he shouldn't be do you think he sticks around at the end of the season or is he like Rob yeah or does Rob think I'm fucking Rob I should go play some games he's part of the Scotland he's Rob

34:11Lewis Bowden:but I'd be starting him he's a giant mill now personally he was really good the other day

34:15Reev:do you think it affects his decision if like Salah etc might move away I can overhaul if the leadership team start leaving Sean he might stay but then that might be

34:25Lewis Bowden:a reason for him to stay to be more that's what I'm saying oh yeah

34:28Reev:him more of an influential in the changing rooms. It's an interesting question you've written down here. Maybe. Does Slott need to win the FA Cup to keep his job? Or do you think he stays no matter what? I think they might just give him the league where Champions League is more important. If they get Champions League they'll give him the league where top four? Five. Actually, yeah. It'll be fifth for Champions League. Yeah, but you've got to remember

34:50Lewis Bowden:that win should have been Wolves.

34:53Reev:Yeah. Yeah. But by the end of the season we all have them

34:56Lewis Bowden:I think a massive issue for Liverpool at the minute is the fans have turned and it takes a lot for Liverpool fans to turn on their manager they're a bit like Man United they are very loyal to their managers I feel but again I don't I can't speak for every Liverpool fan but the general discourse seems to me like they want him gone that's rough which the other one in the league exactly but how long can you live off that a lot of them don't like the football anymore Liverpool are normally exciting aren't they we were on about this the other day me and Will when we went for a drink.

35:29Reev:They've adopted the Arsenal tournament. That's what I mean. Even if they do well, that's not what they expect to be watching, isn't it? We were saying the other day

35:40Lewis Bowden:that they were so, so bad against Wolves. Just so bad to watch as well. It's not even like Wolves got lucky or did them on the break. Liverpool was shocking. They had like a 10-minute spell when they scored and then looked like they were going to get the winner. But that is unacceptable going to Wolves Absolutely Even in the first half

36:00Reev:Even regardless of the momentum you had Even in the first half Against us in the FA Cup It was dire Shocking And I was god And then it just took A couple of moments of magic That's what I mean

36:09Lewis Bowden:Even the goals they scored Weren't even that well worked They were just like Brilliant goals The Curtis Jones one's unreal Yeah That was great What was the third one?

36:18Reev:The second one was Salah The first one was Robertson The second one was the cross

36:21Lewis Bowden:Salah was the offside one Yeah that was well worked actually Salah waits 100 days for a goal Plays Wolves and gets two but he's got one against Carabao one in the league one in the cup is he back is that important for Liverpool in the back end of the season yeah if they can get him scoring but he's doing it against like Carabao he's playing Rio more he's class he's so good he will be faced in

36:47Reev:eventually another former Chelsea player why would you not just be like what is there to lose now in the league he's good enough

36:53Lewis Bowden:yeah he is good enough he's not defensively though if you play Robertson yeah I imagine there's a lot of left hand side I imagine there's a lot of responsibilities Robertson at his age getting doubled up on two teams tag teams Jesus Christ Rob Southampton beat Fulham woo by the way Fulham I'm sorry they're having such a good season right but they have such a good season and they have such a good they have such a good team and the fact that they're rotating their team like this and not going at it in the fucking FA Cup nine changes what the fuck are you playing at if you're not going to go for the FA Cup now.

37:28I actually feel sorry for the fans because you must see that team sheet and be like, well, what are we trying to do? I think we thought they were going to be

37:34Lewis Bowden:good enough to beat Southampton without.

37:35Reev:I think it's just fucking a bit naive. Even Arsenal, when they played Mansfield and our team was pretty strong. I know we made a few changes. Was it? It was pretty strong. You'd consider that team

37:45Lewis Bowden:pretty strong.

37:46Reev:It was all your second team? It's Mansfield. No, no, no. Your second team

37:51Lewis Bowden:is obviously strong. But these are Southampton. Arqueta respects

37:55Reev:the FA Cup. Like, you look at Calafiore started, Martinelli, Havertz, Madweke, Trossard. Yeah, but that's because you have a good... That's just because you've got great games. Also, Mansfield are in League 1. That's because you're a top team. Southampton hadn't lost in the last nine games or something. Marco Silva didn't show any respect to the FA Cup. That is kind of our B team, though. Yeah, yeah. There are starters in there, whereas Fulham made, what, nine changes? No, nine changes. Yeah, no, but you can do that because those all top quality players. and they're still good players. Fulham have to accept.

38:28It's like, right, we're going to have to actually play our strong team.

38:30Reev:I'm saying Fulham should have showed way more respect to this trophy. Yeah, I agree with that.

38:33Lewis Bowden:Yeah, but I think his priority is to try to get them into Europe. Unfortunately, right, his goal at the start of the season with these board members wouldn't be an FA Cup run. It'll be, if we can get us in the top 10, finishing seventh or finishing eighth instead of ninth will mean more to the Fulham board than getting to the semifinals, the FA Cup. unfortunately they're not fans but do you think that's how they think of it do you think for his career getting an FA Cup final finishing 10th or finishing 7th and getting knocked out is better what do you think I honestly don't know I really don't think it matters that much conference league 7th does get Europe yeah so I mean if they get 7th this year that will mean way more but I say but you saw Palace last year win the first ever trophy Fulham have never won anything true

39:20Reev:but I think you look at the teams were trying to get that seventh spot. Do you really think they're going to get it over Brentford, Everton or Bournemouth? When do they have a chance?

39:27Lewis Bowden:I personally think Fulham will finish seventh, yeah. Over Brentford? I did, but then they lost to West Ham. Over Brentford, really? Yeah, I don't know. Do you see what I mean? They're all inconsistent. They're already a point ahead in Newcastle. Yeah, I don't know. I think they should have taken their chances

39:40Reev:in the FA Cup.

39:42Lewis Bowden:Theo, as a fan, I completely agree with you. I'd be fuming if I was a Fulham fan, but I'm trying to look at it from his point of view as a manager. He probably, one, thought they'd still be good enough to get it done. Two, two, he's focusing more on the league. The thing is, I'd argue though, like, because he's not in any other competitions, like, they could have fought, like, it's not like he's going to be playing every three days. He can't afford to go further in this competition and it won't affect the Premier League. The next football match,

40:10Reev:not until Sunday. They had a week's rest. That's what I mean. For me, there's no excuse. That's not necessarily true. They lost to West Ham on the, what, Wednesday, Tuesday? And it's also about, it's also about a bit of momentum. if you have put together a cup run no I know that I know they should have definitely gone with this I mean to be fair they put together a cup run and keep winning games and then they go on it was an opportunity to progress as well they did play Oscar Bob they have one of their better seasons this is one of the chances for a run they did start like Bob

40:37Lewis Bowden:Smith-Raw Rodrigo Minis like the team they played should have been good enough to beat Southampton in my opinion the team they played

40:46Reev:should have been good enough to beat West Ham as well but they've just lost

40:48Lewis Bowden:twice 1-0 at home yeah so I think sometimes shit happens that's the wrong way around that is the wrong scoreline

40:54Reev:Port Vale beats Sunderland one day yeah shout out Port Vale by a Newcastle fan scoring as well what a day he must have yeah he was a Newcastle fan he did a Shearer celebration across the length of the away thing

41:06Lewis Bowden:you've qualified for the next round then I knew he was going to do that

41:09Reev:can we have happiness anyway 57 places between Sunderland and Port Vale yeah by the way that is like as a Newcastle fan that is unbelievable for him he must just be having the time of his life just knowing for life. He is the reason they went out.

41:26Sorry, I was just imagining it was me.

41:28Lewis Bowden:They're shaking. Portville at bottom of the league, 27 points after 32 games. Yeah, they're so bad. 11 points away from staying up.

41:36Reev:But this is the magic of the cup. This is why the FA Cup shouldn't be on the table. But then this is my point.

41:40Lewis Bowden:You're digging out silver, but like Sunderland played a pretty strong team and they still went out. It can happen. That happens.

41:48Reev:At least they put out a team that on paper So I should have fucking, do you know what I mean? You don't think Fulham did?

41:56Lewis Bowden:You don't think that Fulham team should have been good enough to win, really? I don't know. I don't realise this gets to the quarters. Shit, they're fucking in the quarters. Yeah, that was the fifth round, wasn't it? Wait, the draw's tonight. Anderson, Sessegnon, Castagne, Reid, Kearney, Oscar Bob, Smith-Rowe, Chukawasey, Mooney. But they don't start. But Anderson starts. I bet Oscar Paulville in the draw, you know. Smith-Rowe, Bob, Chukwasey, they're in and out of the team. Kearney's in and out of the team, usually. But they're not starters, though.

42:21Reev:Do you know what I mean? I know Anderson is, apart from his illness recently, but, like, they're not starters.

42:24Lewis Bowden:There's not one player in that Southampton team that would have got in the Fulham team. Other than May. He has got one. Yeah. So I think it's harsh to criticise. And then he made... Then he brought on Jimenez, King, Iwobi. Admittedly, really late, but... Also, Potfield's priority is the league as well. The manager's even said after the win, it's a bit of a pin in the arse. That's a fucking stink of a Sunderland.

42:47Reev:Did they not get a lot of money for getting quarters, though? yeah it's just it's the first quarter since 9-54 it's really good for them but so they're probably hoping for like also it's actually it's a bit of hope for them in a bad season they will want an Arsenal Man City yeah you're gonna get it's already written Arsenal are getting these like Port Vale are down so at least it's something for the fucking supporters they'll want Arsenal

43:07Lewis Bowden:Man City at home that's what they want are Stoke still in the cup no they're not are they that's who they would have wanted

43:13Reev:Leeds are they 3-0 could have been more Longstaff would potentially go on all the weekend what a little turn it was unreal first time Leeds

43:21Lewis Bowden:have made the quarterfinal since 2002 is that where they lived the dream no that was when the dream was over no there was just starting to die the dream that was when the dream just ended that's when the the banks were knocking at the door going hey this dream has gone this dream yeah you need to fucking wake up son now fucking pay your desk so your last eight of the cup are Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea Man City Southampton Portville Leeds and West Ham for Brentford. do you know what? Give us some big draws, get some big teams out there and see if we can get a rogue winner. That's what I'm hoping for as a new film.

43:57Wait, so you're hoping that you're hoping that Giants play Giants? Yeah, I want to see like a story, man. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal City sort of thing. Yeah, Arsenal City would be fucking class. Southampton, Paul Veal.

44:08Reev:For quarterfinal. But I'm not going to lie, like you... But would that not just imply that whoever moves on from those bigger teams is probably just going to beat the easy ones after? Not necessarily. I mean, Birmingham, yeah okay you know what I mean anyone has a chance in a final mate are you talking about when Bowman and City won the FA Cup yeah they've never won

44:26Lewis Bowden:the FA Cup League Cup

44:27Reev:or with Harry Martins go on then in one word lads who's winning the FA Cup Arsenal who'd you say was left it's not Newcastle Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea Manchester City Southampton Port V Leeds West Ham or Brentford the draw's tight isn't it Chelsea I was going to say Chelsea I'll say someone else Brentford they're going to go all the way there we have it who's Brentford got? West Ham tonight so by the time this comes out on audio it'd be hilarious

44:57Lewis Bowden:if West Ham yeah if West Ham win the whole spiel

45:02Reev:about momentum no shit yeah I should have went West Ham

45:06Lewis Bowden:well there you have it there's the FA Cup roundup you fucking motherfuckers Premal will be back next week I'll tell you what it's back though boys

45:14Reev:the champions League. You've got PSG, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Liverpool, the big one, Real Madrid versus Manchester City. Atalanta versus Bayern Munich, Newcastle versus Barcelona. Are all the games this week? Which we are streaming. Atletico, Spurs, Bodo, Glimp, Sporting. Are all the games this week?

45:37Lewis Bowden:This week and next week. Some this week, some next week. Yeah, Arsenal next week. So what I want you to do for this bit, lads, is we're going to go one by one each year and you're going to take us through each draw we'll have a bracket up on the screen to go alongside some graphics you play this week are we?

45:56Reev:yeah for Wednesday oh against Leverkusen well it's our side this week but it wasn't on here so how's that true? oh yeah we're 5.45 so is every game this week and next? this week and next week every game first leg this week second leg next week so that's what I asked

46:10Lewis Bowden:so every game is this week but it's because we're playing at 5.45 I've got a bit confused mate full day at the rate then back home to the Champions League. That's so warning. Remember, we did City at 8 o 'clock on a Wednesday.

46:20Reev:First tie you got is PSG-Chelsea. So we'll do one by one. So Theo, do you want to take us through what you think is going to happen? I think PSG at home in the first leg will beat Chelsea 2-0. And I think they'll knock Chelsea out of the Champions League. That's all we needed, I think. Yeah. Just two workers through. I think, yeah. Yeah, so let's do each person by person. So you go for each one. I'm going to circle Chelsea. What if I disagree? What? oh wait no you're on mine you came on my paper and circled it fucking hell mate you're stuck with the one that goes through surely yeah I'm circling PSG why would he circle Chelsea they're going to lose he circles the one who's going to lose alright and who are they going to play then Theo Galatasaray or Liverpool Galatasaray are going to knock Liverpool out wow why I'll tell you why no I'm saying wow as in like fuck that's crazy do you want to bet on that Tom after every fucking score I'll tell you why because they're four points clear in the Turkish league oh they've got Victor Osman oh yeah Icardi mate Victor Osman Icardi they've all don't have any good players they've got Leroy Sane wow yeah it's a retirement home Yilmaz as well obviously pretty good player he is actually yeah

47:38Lewis Bowden:would you like a bet on this

47:39Reev:they've scored 47 open league goals this season mate would you like a bet 50 quid Galatasaray and knock Liverpool out of the Champions League. Deal. Wow. Fair play. Which means it'll be a PSG versus Galatasaray... You better fucking pay me. ...quater final. Because you're really shit at paying your bets. The thing is, though, Tom, is that Galatasaray at home, with their home crowd, Liverpool are just not very good. They've already beaten Liverpool at home this season. Exactly. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but we beat... So that's why I think they'll do it again. We beat PSG last year, too, and then look how that turned out when we played them in the...

48:10Reev:You've got potato potato, Reebok. Let's have the rest of the last 16 from you then, Theo. Doing all in one, yeah? Yeah, go all around the 16s, then the quarters, then the semis, then the final. Real Madrid will beat Man City across the two legs, I do think that. I think they're just Champions League merchants, aren't they? Is it because they've got Mbappé? Well, they do have Kylian, yeah. Kylian to me. To you, me. Bayern will knock out Atalanta, which means in the quarters it'll be Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich. And this is going to be one of the biggest ties we'll see in a long, long time because you've got the mighty Harry Kane and Luis Diaz, okay?

48:43Reev:It's absolutely, if you've got Elise who's in fine form on the right hand side against a Real Madrid where heavily relying on the likes of Kylian and I know Jude Bellingham we've got to go as well why are you doing the quarter before all the others Will told me to no he didn't he said do the whole bracket he said just do the 16 fuck me Barcelona will knock out Newcastle Atletico will knock out Spurs like probably 8-0 on aggregate Bodo Glimpse Sporting great fixture this ooh Do you know what? As in you can't call it, I don't think so. I think sport... I think my head says sporting will win, but I'm going to go Bodo Glimt.

49:21Reev:Right. I'm just going to ignore my head. That's a great bit of logic. Because, do you know what? Fairytale. This is why I think I'm going against it. Yeah, and Arsenal beat Leverkusen. The magic of the European trophy. Right. So for me, PSG, Chelsea, I'm saying PSG are going through. I do like your logic, because I think Liverpool are really shit, but I reckon they get it done. So Liverpool going through. Why do you think they get it done? That's disagreeing with his logic then. Wait, why do you think they'll go through? I can see it happening, but I just think overall Liverpool have too much quality.

49:48I don't think Galatasaray are good enough to be the ones.

49:51Reev:But they have been good enough to beat them this year. This is a knockout stage. This is a knockout. This is what Liverpool do with it, isn't it? One off game, two off game. Real Madrid City is fucking absolute. Yeah, but you could also... I know the PSG argument. Yeah, I get it. Oh, I'm going Real Madrid through. Okay. Bayern. Newcastle Barcelona who do you think is going to go through Lou mate everyone else is going to say Barca so you can say Newcastle go on no say what you think I'm thinking what I think Barcelona in life sometimes crazy things happen four points clear of La Liga of La Liga yeah the four points clear of La Liga they've got Yamal ascending into a new league Yamal they've got Torres and Lewandowski yeah they've got a great goal keeper actually Garcia the one thing is lads Newcastle aren't the same team in the Champions League as we are in the Premier League and I believe in fairies in fairies or fairy tales like Brian Clough said he believes in do you think Cabasi will have Gordon in his back pocket I think Newcastle are going to go through you don't think that tomorrow I think we fucking do it it's our two games it's the biggest game of our season one of the biggest games in club history What happened last time you played them?

51:14We lost We played very well though at the start Still lost

51:16Lewis Bowden:You had a good 20 minutes well and then got absolutely battered No, don't get me wrong I think the key for us going through is literally the most important part of any legs is the first 20 minutes of the first game we have to score straight away before they end up just silencing the crowd Well Lewis, you're lucky their 14 goals conceded in the group stage no team in the top 13 conceded more They can ship goals for sure And they've also got Yamal Yeah wait they scored the most goals but we actually have we have our full backs back now as well Bottman's back as well people Joe Linton's back and was playing great against Man United so we are getting stronger and this is one thing you can't play is this is all we've got fucking left like this is we got nothing left like fuck the Prem so yeah after I go Madrid Tottenham I'm going to cross out Tottenham I'm going to also say Bordeaux go through the dream continues Arsenal I ever koozen Arsenal cool

52:14Reev:PSG for me definitely Liverpool as well can't see Galatasaray winning that I really can't I'm going to go Man City but really yeah I just think yeah

52:26Lewis Bowden:if you watch Galatasaray they're really not that good Theo why do you sound so upset and hurt by River but Juventus Juventus nearly pulled it back the other day and Juventus aren't very good Liverpool crap as well Tom they're not they're way better

52:39Reev:than Galatasaray and they've got Anfield in the second league but they they have proven they can beat Liverpool yeah but even you see what I'm saying my thought is even if they are trailing going into the Anfield you always want you want home to be second league really don't you what part of the season how long ago did they beat Liverpool you need to let that go before Christmas it was when they were on the run so the run was lost to Palace lost to Galatasaray lost to Chelsea lost at home to United you think they've turned it around since then? they're better than that They are better than when they were there.

53:10Reev:Can't get worse. Sorry, Galatasaray. I'm the only person so far to say Man City are going through. I was tempted. Why do you think that? I think just their previous experience in the Champions League. Unlike Real Madrid's. No, I think of recent years, of recent years, City have been better in the Champions League, I think, than Madrid. It's all that Madrid care about though, isn't it? Well, yeah, we batted Madrid last season, mate. I know they've got Kylian Mbappe, but still. They didn't have them last time. I've just said that. Madrid haven't been great recently. I know but this is what they care about I think it's overvaluing the stock of Real Madrid man I think City are just a better team and once again City are at the Etihad for the second leg so I think if it goes to that they'll probably get what a draw though I don't think it will be and then go on Bayern against Atalanta Barcelona against Newcastle they're going to go through sorry mate Atletico again do you not believe in fairies?

54:07Reev:I don't believe in spurs no sporting out of the two you hate football oh my god sit on the fence more bloody hell well it's against the fence that's literally it actually went against and then Arsenal to progress easily okay nice easily I can't believe your draw by the way fucking hell go on Tom well we've got to play you will you go against the grain and pick Chelsea to go through

54:34Lewis Bowden:I think this is 50-50 genuinely I haven't been that impressed with PSG but they can do you know what I mean lost to Monaco on Friday that's what I mean I think I think that one's closer I was surprised how close Monaco ran them in the I'm going to go Chelsea and Monaco had a great chance to have it at the end yeah yeah yeah the head out Wout Fez yeah that's his name the one who's at Leicester Wout Fez I can't remember his name but he's got big air yeah he's playing for Monaco playing for Leicester they've got a dingo as well the dingo has gone to Monaco I didn't realise I was watching some of the first leg You hate Walfers as well, don't you?

55:08Lewis Bowden:Or is it you hated him? He's shit. Do you hate Walfers?

55:11Reev:Someone here hated him. Leicester fans hate him. Being a footballer is sick. Just playing for Monaco. I know. Yeah. No tax.

55:18Lewis Bowden:Can you imagine? So I'm going to go Chelsea and Liverpool to progress. I cannot see a world where Madrid go through against City. So I go City.

55:28Reev:Not a world.

55:28Lewis Bowden:No, I think that's my banker of the whole round. Is it going to be heavy? Not heavy, but I think the manager, is a massive issue in this. The last few years, I think City have had their number, Madrid.

55:42Reev:Oh yeah, definitely.

55:42Lewis Bowden:And when I've watched Madrid this year, I think they are so average and they rely on individual brilliance, which I think the way City defend now, personally, I think they'll be okay. Well, Real Madrid have beat City in the last two knockout encounters. Wait, what? Yeah. I thought they beat them last year. I thought City beat them last year.

56:01Reev:Let me have a look. Not in the knockouts, because we did.

56:06Lewis Bowden:so I'm talking shit I thought

56:08Reev:we did Declan Rice free kicks if you want to bring it up again

56:11Lewis Bowden:Bayern Munich will beat Atalanta Newcastle Atalanta were alright though okay do you believe in fairies

56:19Reev:hang on hang on hang on

56:20Lewis Bowden:boss come on believe in fairies hang on no I know what you're going to say go on then I didn't think Newcastle were going to draw Barcelona believe in fairies come on

56:30Reev:no no I'm really interested to see if he goes against his own opinion Believe in fairies. It wouldn't be like Tom to go against his own opinion after a few weeks. He said it. Newcastle are going to go

56:37Lewis Bowden:through to the quarterfinals at the start of the season. Yes, but I didn't think they were going to draw Barca. We're going to do it.

56:42Reev:What do you mean you didn't think they were going to draw Barca? It's a fucking Champions League. They can draw a fucking Real Madrid.

56:47Lewis Bowden:He's contradicting himself.

56:48Reev:Barca are doing a thing. Contradicting himself. Hang on, can I ask this, Tom? You know when you had a go and all that suggesting that Newcastle won't get a run in the Champions League. I do have a go at you for that. You do go over the top

57:03Reev:And now you fucking agree with me? So at the start of the season, right, before a ball had been kicked,

57:10Lewis Bowden:I thought Newcastle would have a good run in the Champions League.

57:13Reev:Yeah, but that's the run of the draw, Tom.

57:14Lewis Bowden:That's why they're going to get knocked out. They're also nowhere near as good as they were last season or as good as I thought they'd be. Gordon's got 12. 12. They're at four in a game. And they're also coming up against my winners who I've said are going to win it. So which way do you want me to contradict? Either way.

57:29Reev:Either way, you're shooting yourself in the foot. Either way, your opinions are shit.

57:33Lewis Bowden:Barca to go through. Yeah, Atleti will beat Spurs. I'll go Bodo as well. I've got no idea in that one. And Arsenal will beat Leverkusen pretty comfortably.

57:45Reev:Should we do the semi-finals and quarter-finals? Quarter-finals. Quarter-finals first, probably. Quarter-finals. I've got PSG beat Galatasaray. I do think PSG will progress through there. What makes you think they're going to get the last four in a season where they've... You think Galatasaray are going to beat PSG? No, she doesn't. What makes you think PSG are going to get the last four this year when they've obviously not beaten anywhere near themselves? Just the draw. I think they'll beat Chelsea. I think Galatasaray will beat Liverpool. I think PSG will beat Galatasaray. Yeah, it's just a run on the draw.

58:14Reev:If that's the way your bracket goes, they're definitely better than Galatasaray, aren't they? Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals. I do think Bayern will beat them, which means Bayern will be in the semifinal against PSG. Do you think this is Bayern's year, potentially? I think they'll meet Arsenal in the final. I think it'll be a Bayern Arsenal final. Barca will face... You've ruined the whole draw. Barca will face... Why, because I know what's going to happen? No, because you just said... There's no point you're saying who wins now. You've just told us the final. Barca will face Atletico.

58:49Reev:Yeah, we know. You were just describing what you've... You've just told us. Which means Bodo will face Arsenal.

58:55Lewis Bowden:Theo, we're aware. You've told us what the final's going to be. Who do you think's going through Atletico? Well, that means the final would be Arsenal-Barcelona.

59:03Reev:But who's going through out of Barca and Atletico?

59:06Lewis Bowden:I think Barca. You've skipped two stages. How can Arsenal-Barca be the final? Semi-final, I said.

59:11Reev:No, you didn't. I said the semi-final would be Arsenal-Barcelona. You said the final. Did I? Yeah. Well, I meant semi-final. But it'd be quite a cool game because it'd be a repeat. You didn't really make any sense doing that. So you've got to figure out what I mean. You said Barcelona will face Atletico, which is what would happen. You didn't say you'd win. Barcelona would win. But you didn't say that at the time. He's got Bayern Arsenal final Yeah right So PSG Bayern in the semi Bayern win that In the other semi Arsenal win that I'm interested to hear We'll get to the final later Okay PSG vs Liverpool For me I'm putting through Liverpool Fucking hell They're getting to the semi Yeah

59:49Lewis Bowden:They have got that European pedigree That's what I mean And it's just like I do think that does matter That's the whole thing With Madrid Like As much as I don't really rate them I would not be surprised If they won it That's what I mean

1:00:00Reev:it's knockout football isn't it who Bale I'm sick to football I haven't seen that one yet he was talking about how when he was there like they they knew that La Liga was so easy there was only a few games really they had to like concentrate on they just win it's just about how much where their sole focus was the Champions League if you didn't get through the Champions League manager was gone yeah Real Madrid Bayern Bayern yeah oh Newcastle at the goal of Madrid. I do believe it varies. If you beat Barcelona, surely you go through. Yeah, no, but this is, no, this is the thing. The most Newcastle thing to do would be beat Barcelona and get knocked out by that goal of Madrid.

1:00:40So what do you think is going to happen, Lou? I think Newcastle will go through. So you're in the Champions League semi-final. Might be further. I think we, we can beat them though, yeah. Okay, what about Arsenal?

1:00:51Reev:Then it's Arsenal, yeah. Because you just have a fucking hacked draw. You've now got Liverpool versus Bayern Munich in the semi-final and Newcastle versus Arsenal in the semi-final. Yeah, which is class. Yeah.

1:01:02Lewis Bowden:That would be so good if that happens. Oh, we'll do anything for that. We don't have a bet on it. I said we'd get further, which means we'd have to go to the final. Luke,

1:01:11Reev:who wins between Liverpool and Bayern Munich? Well, you need to do that. we've got to do quarters. You just decided to jump all the way. Liverpool to progress against PSG for me into the semi and then City to beat Bayern Munich.

1:01:22Lewis Bowden:Oh, I'm a surprise. You're all choosing Liverpool over PSG. I just, yeah. It's not always How were you thinking? I'm in your mind. Yeah, well, you didn't even think they beat Galatasaray. You've picked Galatasaray to go through.

1:01:34Reev:Yeah.

1:01:34Lewis Bowden:Yeah.

1:01:36Reev:Barca to beat Atletico. So what makes you think... So it will be Bayern? Yeah. Same reason that I think that they'll beat Real Madrid. I just think they're flying at the moment. So Bayern Munich, though. I know, I know, but I just, I don't know. The momentum of the new signings, Pep Guardiola over two leagues, yeah. PSK and Alisson. Yeah. I mean, I think defensively City are just a different beast now than what they were at the start of the game. Theo keeps going over at least here, but he's not scored since the 21st of January. Have you seen his stats of the season though? Yeah, but he's not scored since January.

1:02:07Reev:Has he not been injured since January though? He's missed one game. Also, also we've got to remember like, Pep towards the end You're trying to mug me off here. It's funny, he prepares these, he's getting ready to pound from the other day. 16 goals and 23 assists this season. I'd say it's pretty good

1:02:23Lewis Bowden:this season so far. But he's not in good form at the minute, is he that's his point I think

1:02:27Reev:you go for it it's literally like a month he's had a nine games he's not had a goal yeah but he's done it for the whole season up to then hasn't he no I know mate if you got 23 assists this season 16 goals he's been an assist one and stuff as well yeah next time mate learn your stats buddy oh arguably one of the best right wingers in the world I think that'll be a close one but I just see City scraping it and then Arsenal to progress against Sporting Lisbon I can't believe your draw

1:02:57Lewis Bowden:I think Chelsea will beat Liverpool in mine so I've got Chelsea going through three assists

1:03:02Reev:in his last five games fucking mug

1:03:05Lewis Bowden:then I've got I think City will beat Bayern as well and City to go through

1:03:11Reev:dear yeah you tipped Bayern to no he thinks you think they're going to crash out at the start of the season why do you think City are going to get one over Bayern as well then

1:03:23Lewis Bowden:I think the managers is the main one. I also think Bayern are just a bit overrated. I think that, like all those, that's all just inflated because of how bad the league is. Yeah. Personally. Also Pep Guardiola

1:03:34Reev:towards the end of the year.

1:03:35Lewis Bowden:Do you know, that Arsenal game really sticks in mind about Bayern.

1:03:39Reev:Exactly.

1:03:40Lewis Bowden:Arsenal battered them. Yeah. And if, Pep will see that and they'll just think he'll be too, I think he'll be too wily, a wily old fox for company. And it's a big game, it's Harry Kane I'll go missing. Barcelona will beat Atleti and Arsenal will obviously beat Bodo So Theo we know your semi-final win is I'll carry on then I'll go I think Arsenal will beat Bayern Munich will beat Barcelona and I think City will beat Chelsea so I've got

1:04:14Reev:Arsenal City final Tom

1:04:16Lewis Bowden:I've got a City Arsenal final We'll come to the finals last

1:04:19Reev:All English final I do think Arsenal will beat Barcelona like Tom said and because my semi-final is City Liverpool I think City beat Liverpool so it's a City Arsenal final two Arsenal City final oh my god can you imagine it's the Arsenal City final in the Champions League Arsenal City final in the FA Cup that's exactly what I think is going to happen that's the narrative for the rest of the season you think they're going to have first and second and three finals in the FA Cup and Champions League depends on the draw

1:04:44Lewis Bowden:I don't think the FA Cup will be an Arsenal City final Chelsea will win it I think Bayern will go through against Liverpool on mine

1:04:55Reev:Arsenal, Newcastle, semi-final Champions League. Lu's just playing like career mode. The thing is, I'm not even trying to be biased. I'm genuinely, but like... Oh, you're not trying to be biased. In Barcelona, let's go Madrid. But you have to think, this is later on in the season where people are back from injuries. We're playing less games. There is different... Are you talking about the... No, when we play you in the semi-final. In the semi-final. Contextually, our seasons, we have our defences back, our teams back, they're already back. there's less games NG in the legs the biggest game in our club's career but what you'll forget is that this week you're playing now against Barcelona so you might not even get through that's irrelevant because he thinks they're going to get to this day I'm not going to say we're not going to beat Arsenal because I think we're not going to beat Barcelona they're already through at this point in his mind so you're straight through against Barcelona with your injuries in the context of the season Arsenal are fighting tooth and nail for the Premier League title you know scratching they've lost the League Cup they're desperate Newcastle have nothing to lose Lewis this is the first time Newcastle have ever been in the knockout stages do you think that'll go against you?

1:05:59no it means we can only improve on club history we can't we can't disappoint we've already went further than we have ever went before each game is the biggest in our career and we're going through you think it's going to be a buy I don't know how we've ended up being I did intend on seeing Arsenal you think it's going to be

1:06:16Reev:a buy in Munich Newcastle final in the Champions League why do you think Newcastle would beat Arsenal in the Champions League? I understand the probability of this is, like, I'm going against the logic. It's worth putting it. But, like, if you think about the context of where the season is, this is, and against Arsenal, a team that we know, a team that we know, a team who has nothing else to fight for, you know we're better with less games. You are still fighting to get into Europe in the Premier League. Can I ask, why do you think, with, you talk about your injuries, Luke, you talk about your injuries, and you're not very good at the moment, why do you think that means you'll beat Barcelona?

1:06:51I'm just banking on us doing it. here we go oh okay fair enough we have got Liverpool back and stuff now which is huge for us so you're 25 to 1 25 yeah 25 worth a 10 it's not worth like I understand that looks mental but let me tell you about a team called Leicester City so I have a Bayern Madrid are bigger odds than PSG and Liverpool Jesus I have Bayern Newcastle final I thought I was going to get shouted out a lot more though no we know you never leave it it's not even a lack of belief it's just knockout football isn't it lack of

1:07:22Reev:Yeah And you've got to have hope So our four finals Are Theo I've got Bayern to beat PSG And Arsenal to beat Barcelona in the semis So it's a Bayern Arsenal final So we've got Bayern Arsenal Bayern Newcastle And two City Bayern Arsenal So we all think Arsenal Will make the final Except Lou Yeah Alright let's go for your final

1:07:43Lewis Bowden:I think City will win it No

1:07:47Reev:Stick around my prediction From the start of the season Arsenal to win the Champions League I've got Yeah I got Bayern. You don't think you can beat Bayern Munich in the final? No. All that for the lack of hope in the final. Yeah. Fucking hell, mate. What are you even doing? We're not going to win the Champions League, are we? You're in the final. Let me tell you about a team called Porto. I could not. You just cannon fodder for the finalists. Nah, yeah. No, I feel like we'd be like... I feel like in this situation, we'd lose like 5-0. So you can get through against Arsenal, who beat Bayern Munich earlier in the season, but then lose to Bayern Munich.

1:08:21Reev:Football's a career's a game, yeah. I think Arsenal will beat Bayern Munich in a final.

1:08:26Lewis Bowden:Because Harry Kane's playing for Bayern and it's a big game. Exactly. You know, that's the script. Who's the standout of the knockouts? I think Gabriel. You've said it from the start.

1:08:35Reev:Don't giggle at that, mate. It's coming true. Anthony Gordon. I've got so much aura right now. Even though City win it? Yeah. They're not even making the thing. Wait, where are Barcelona getting knocked out for you? In the semis. Semis.

1:08:49Lewis Bowden:Semis last year. who would be Man City's best player then if they're going to go on and win it I think in the Champions League Cherokee Semenya no I think Cherokee I think what is this situation because he wasn't allowed

1:09:02Reev:he can play oh he can do you think he's going to be would he win player of the tournament no if it's that late into him and Ryan actually I don't know if he has a mad role depends how good he does yeah yeah yeah he does Bayern Munich have a chance like in the likes of Elyse who would your player of the tournament be Gabriel Timos Rieven I'm bummed that train crazy how much you all laughed at me at the start of the year calling me an idiot that's shameless that's so shameless I love you yeah but you you fucking looked at me in the eyes at the start of the season and went you are an idiot no it was more

1:09:36Lewis Bowden:it was more just so Arsenal I'm going to predict our centre half to fucking be the player of Dex and Rice maybe Saka not Saka not Starboy the 28 year old Starboy well we've spent how many free kicks Rice scores this time well Jokeres

1:09:49Reev:in the Champions League goals Right, anyway, let us know in the comments

1:09:52Lewis Bowden:if you agree with us. What's your predictions? I mean, going off my list, it would have to be Gordon. I don't know what I've done to myself. I'm not going to lie, looking back to this, it's like... Not Harry Kane or something like that?

1:10:04Reev:But the thing is, now I've written this down, I just know I'm going to get to tomorrow's stream and we're going to lose 4-0. I'm just going to be like, fuck's sake. Do you fancy a bet on... No. Do you think you're going to get to the final? I take a bet that Newcastle don't get to the final. I know, but now you sort of look at it with hope, but then I look back at it now it's like it's pretty ridiculous yeah we're going to lose to Bayern at Barcelona 4-0 but imagine and Bayern beat you would it is the suggestion not a Bayern player would win player of the tournament I feel like no because Gordon's already he'd be Gordon I mean that's going to be Gordon Bue winner I'm saying just about how they look at the player of the tournament maybe yeah I don't have experience in how they pick those we don't normally sit we don't normally

1:10:44Lewis Bowden:anyway let us know in the comments what you think and who's going to win the Champions League this year

1:10:48Reev:moving on to assessing some football players, guys. We're going to be discussing who's the best player from every Premier League club so far this season. Yay. Should we work up from the bottom to the top? I did that, yeah. Wolves up to Arsenal. Wolves' best player this season has been...

1:11:05Lewis Bowden:Jao Gomez.

1:11:06Reev:Jao Gomez. Oh, shit. I've not got West Ham Burnley Wolves. Oh, that is disgraceful. You don't even care about the relegation team. I have Jao Gomez. Will? Jao Gomez. Yeah. Can I ask Who would your Best three be Who would the second player be It's not Jao Gormes Top three Andre Bueno Santi Bueno Probably He's gotten better For the season Hugo Bueno Has been the best Second half But he didn't Play enough In the first half I probably One of I mean Crudgy as well Yeah Crudgy Probably Them three He's been in and out The team though And he last few months Who's going to break Your heart the most to lose Who's going to break Your heart the most to lose Mane Oh, shit, Mane, yeah.

1:11:49Yeah, I'd say Mane's dropped off a little bit now. I mean, to be fair, you'd have to put him in because our season has depended on him getting put in the team.

1:11:59Lewis Bowden:That's kind of when it turned a little bit, wasn't it? Because you were bottom before and you're still bottom.

1:12:06Reev:That's why they gave him a chance, wasn't it? They're like, fucking what else?

1:12:09Lewis Bowden:They also spent a lot of money on him for a 16-year-old. How much? Two million, wasn't it? From where? In Rochdale. Apparently they got, I don't know how true this is, but somebody was telling me they got a coach from Rochdale and they were like I'll come as long as you bring him with me he was like he's that good but Portra's going to want him to play for them as well but the big thing as well the new assistant manager came in he was assistant manager under Nuno he came in at the back end in December got rid of the old Deadwood who weren't Abbey so new coach new players and it's kind of changed so there you go and now you've like

1:12:42Reev:and now we went from bottom to bottom

1:12:44Lewis Bowden:now you're sitting pretty at least you'd got

1:12:46Reev:More points than Derby. Eight games left to get 19th, mate. Good luck. Go on then, Lewis. Who's your player for balls? Well, I haven't got one because I need to quickly look. But Gio Gomez is the obvious one. I do like Mane, but if you said he's fell off, I'd really like us to get Mane. He's been falling off. I think he just set himself such a high standard when he came through.

1:13:03Lewis Bowden:He's just had a dip in form.

1:13:04Reev:He's a very memorable player. He's only a kid. Streets won't forget. He's a kid. Burnley. Burnley. Burnley's rough. Dubravka.

1:13:14Lewis Bowden:I nearly went Dubravka. I've gone Jadon Anthony. Avgadon, Jadon, Anthony. He's getting their goals. Just for the moments. A few big moments. But Dubravka's a solid. Yeah, I think Dubravka... Do you think he leaves? When the goal... He's not a championship keeper, but... He's old though, isn't he? He might just be settled in Burnley now. You've also got Fleming. Seven goals in just 20 games.

1:13:32Reev:His fucking ability in the air is crazy. I swear he doesn't even start every game. Not all the time. He's their second top goal scorer and doesn't really start every game. That's... Cool name. Says a lot, doesn't it? Who's your Burley player? I'd say Dubravka I think he's too good for them really Too good to go down West Ham I'm guessing I know who you're going for Fernandez Fernandez I'm also going Fernandez I'm going Boyan me The talisman Wow

1:13:59Lewis Bowden:Jared Boyan If that was the other way around you'd be getting a whole segment Oh my god

1:14:04Reev:I do You literally had a full on

1:14:06Lewis Bowden:round with me What about it? Can we have to flesh this out?

1:14:09Reev:I understand

1:14:09Lewis Bowden:But I do I understand Fernandez has been West Ham's best player and he was shouting at me going, it's Bowen, it's Bowen. Now he's there. I said it was close,

1:14:15Reev:but do you not think Bowen is their most important player? What? Do you think Bowen's their most important player? No, I still think it's for the guard. He's most had as Manic, yeah, but it doesn't mean he's the best player. Is Somerville got a shout the way he's been? Yeah, definitely.

1:14:27Lewis Bowden:Bowen hasn't been that good. I don't think Bowen's been, for his level, his usual level. Somerville, though, not season long, though.

1:14:34Reev:Fernandes is kind of ticking away.

1:14:37Lewis Bowden:Somerville's been performing. As of before the Brentford game in the FA Cup, Somerville scored 7 of West Ham's 17 goals in all competitions this year

1:14:45Reev:he had 5 in a row

1:14:47Lewis Bowden:didn't he he's on good form he's good man Somerville's really good he'll leave

1:14:51Reev:Forrest I think this one's fairly yeah

1:14:54Lewis Bowden:Murillo Elliot Anderson nice Gibbswhite I've gone Gibbswhite yeah so you three have gone Anderson you've gone Gibbswhite I think big moments for them the goals he's getting Anderson's class obviously but I'd always favour the more attacking player

1:15:10Reev:henceforth no Dubravka

1:15:11Lewis Bowden:I actually think I think Anderson's a better footballer than Gibbs White but I think Gibbs White is more important to Forrest Do you truly believe that? Yeah I think without Gibbs White they really struggle going forward That's why they try to keep him He's energy in midfield he pops up with goals I think he takes the game on his back a lot of the time I would not be against Usain Anderson but I think it's definitely

1:15:31Reev:between those two Anson is likely to start for England at the World Cup as well He will Gibbs White probably won't even make the squad That's just because of the competition Spurs this one's fucking impossible I've put nobody they're all dog shit but I think the only person that can hold his head up from this season is Archie Gray I've got up until maybe a couple weeks ago I put Van der Ven

1:15:52Lewis Bowden:he hasn't been good this season I know

1:15:55Reev:I think he has prior to a few weeks ago he's been he's been he's been a polished turd in a load of poo

1:16:01Lewis Bowden:he's give up him I refuse to put anyone in I've put nobody I've put Porro but I still think you're shit Porro what I just had to put a name like I looked at through every near and they've all been bad. I think if I had to pick one, I'd maybe go Solanke. But even he's been... What? He's only got five goals this season. No way. He's been trying out. He's been out. Yeah. Since he comes back, he's been okay. I think the tactic is picking someone who's played the least amount of games and he's been the best player.

1:16:27Reev:Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty fair on Archie Gray. Like, he's been thrown around the entire pitch. Yeah, I want to say, yeah, Archie Gray is... Like, not... Also, he's picked up a few goals. If you do watch Spurs he's the only one that actually looks like he cares. He's scored a few goals as well. Yeah, friend of the show.

1:16:46Lewis Bowden:He's also had a few stinkers.

1:16:48Reev:Yeah, well, it's like the entire team. There's a team of stinkers in it though. Right. Leeds United. Anton Stack. Yeah, it's Stack. Right, I agree Stack is correct but would you not argue for Leeds what's spearheaded them? I'd say Cavallone. No. Cavallone's not been the better player but the impact and he's playing well this season. That's what turned everything around and the momentum.

1:17:08Lewis Bowden:I'd also argue some of Stack's goals in performances has done that as well yeah I have no problem I was going to I was going to put I was going to put Stack off just thought like Calvert-Lewin changed so much there by just clicking into that form and it's like shocked them all

1:17:24Reev:when Metsch is played he's getting goals and stuff yeah yeah the drop off between Stack and anyone else

1:17:29Lewis Bowden:even Okafor has popped up the way Stack

1:17:31Reev:sort of take it to the Prem it's quite really impressive he's really good he gets stolen away

1:17:36Lewis Bowden:I think he might be alright

1:17:37Reev:because Leeds are such a big club I think he'll stay Brighton I struggled with this I did Genuinely I've gone Van Hecker I've also gone Van Hecker I went Welbeck I went Ayari Welbeck's not really been playing No I know You love Welbeck I want him on the play I went Ayari

1:17:54Lewis Bowden:I think he's been really good for them I think Van Hecker will get a move I really do Probably

1:17:58Reev:Like Defensively Brighton They're just They're not nice to watch Imagine where they'd be without him Yeah but you can say that About a lot of players True that True that rescue Who do you say then Revo I said Danny Welbeck Well, that guy Ayari Right, well next up It's Palace I've got Dean Henderson I've got Dean Henderson I wouldn't look for Henderson I know he saves Big saves He wears caps

1:18:23Lewis Bowden:I went with Warton I know he's not been playing well

1:18:25Reev:He's been shocking I still think he's their best player Best player this season Best player this season He's been shocking this season I thought he was just

1:18:33Lewis Bowden:Best player but He's been good the last few weeks I know but he's definitely been below par I honestly thought it was just best player so yeah he's definitely the best player but in terms of best player this season he's been so below par he has been whereas Henderson

1:18:50Reev:is so reliable and so yeah that's what I mean he's coming up with penalty saves when he's needed to be the guy to do it do you know what I mean like he's Palace is hard one like genuinely they don't really

1:19:00Lewis Bowden:have anyone who I look at Sar's not a bad shout Sar's been good for really silly he's probably gay but yeah I wanted to write that

1:19:07Reev:but he's not in the club is he

1:19:08Lewis Bowden:same with the Bournemouth conundrum I think Dean Anderson is so overrated what I do man I do as well a little bit it is common when you're having a lot to shut on your goal you're going to save him on it he's just so consistent

1:19:19Reev:he doesn't really make mistakes he's this new breed of keeper who loves attention as well yeah I hate it the camera saves man he doesn't do anything wrong like name a Dean Anderson mistake what you know what I mean he's just consistent 12 7 out of 10 every week that's what you want at the goal You want a goalie that goes under the radar. He doesn't go under the radar. He's knee sliding. No, but in terms of like performances. Yeah. He's solid. He's consistent and solid. Newcastle United. Bruno G. Yep. Bruno G. Yeah, clear. Where you'd be without Bruno G, I don't know. Well, we'll find out. We'll have a look.

1:19:57After that, would you say it's Chao? And that's probably about it. Oh, I don't know. This season. No, no.

1:20:02Reev:Hall, Hall. Definitely Hall. Chow's last well since the turn of the year hasn't been the same player we talked about he's still been good yeah he was he's still been good but you would say it's best centre half in the league at one point I think it's got to be you've got to put Hall there for he's just been unbelievable anyway yeah Sunderland is it Granit Xhaka it is obviously yeah and when he got injured as well you noticed it big time keep us up there are they any Robin Roofs Robin Roofs he's good oh yeah he's had a few

1:20:32Lewis Bowden:he has had a few little moments though where he's been a bit flappy and I think he's got the bozo gene in him a little bit.

1:20:39Reev:Trying it out a bit. Maybe they should have sold him. Yeah, I would have rest he's in it as well

1:20:44Lewis Bowden:but Xhaka is just he's a difference to me.

1:20:46Reev:Xhaka is the guy though isn't he? He's just been the best guy.

1:20:48Lewis Bowden:Do you reckon they'll keep hold of Xhaka? Enzo Lafay would be their second one really.

1:20:51Reev:I think they'll keep hold of Xhaka.

1:20:53Lewis Bowden:Yeah, I do. Well he's still yet to experience a relegation. I know, that's what he's fucking cared for.

1:20:57Reev:That's what he went for and he's got a

1:20:58Lewis Bowden:I think he might next to him. You reckon? Possibly yeah The little Leeds Second season Second season syndrome Yeah Problem is the three teams Coming up are going to be so bad So Yeah Harry Wilson Obviously Wilson Yeah I've got Wilson Wilson

1:21:13Reev:Wilson Bournemouth's a bit of an interesting one Because

1:21:17Lewis Bowden:I think Bournemouth's An interesting debate Because Obviously Their best one has gone But No You can't do a play that's left I've got I've got I've got

1:21:27Reev:I've got

1:21:28Lewis Bowden:I've got three names Yeah

1:21:30Reev:you need one I think Alex Scott I've got Alex Scott I've got Tavenier they're the three names I had Tavenier, Seneci and Alex Scott I think Alex Scott has been again just Mr. Consistent he plays every single game 90 minutes

1:21:44Lewis Bowden:he's friend of the show 90 minutes

1:21:46Reev:every game just doesn't really put a foot wrong

1:21:48Lewis Bowden:Alex Scott's quality he'll be able to play for England soon

1:21:50Reev:yeah I think obviously it would have been Semenya but you left I think it is Alex Scott Tavenier's a good shot I think he's really

1:21:59Lewis Bowden:underrated he is

1:22:01Reev:He's their top goal scorer, isn't he?

1:22:03Lewis Bowden:He's so good. I'm pretty sure. I don't know.

1:22:04Reev:Is it not Evan Elson? No, I think it's Tavenier. Not that pig. Surely it's got to be. No, Tavenier is class.

1:22:11Lewis Bowden:Tavenier takes penalties, I don't know.

1:22:13Reev:He did after Semenya. Oh, it's Kruppi. There you go. Fuck me, yeah. Kruppi, yeah. James Hill was another shout. Well, it's technically Semenya. Yeah, I mean, if you're going to give it a defender, it's got to be Seneci.

1:22:25Lewis Bowden:I'm sending off, he's good, he is. Well, Everton up next. It's your boy, innit? I think.

1:22:30Reev:Garner. Yeah, James Garner. I've got James Garner as well. But yeah, we all just agreeing on everything. We actually... This is really weird. Oh my God, we've got ball noise. People watching football.

1:22:36Lewis Bowden:It's a collective mind. I do think by the end of the season, it'll be Dewsbury Hall. The way he's come back in and just swam. Injuries killed him for this debate. Is there an argument for Pickford as well? He's just been Pickford, isn't he? Not really. He's just doing Pickford things. I think he's been good. I mean, he's brilliant against us.

1:22:56Reev:The level that Garner's been performing at, I think it's a little bit higher than Jordan Pickford's been playing. The question about Everton I want to ask you is, obviously, if they're doing well, if they get a proper striker, a proper goal scorer...

1:23:11Lewis Bowden:You mean just like an actual... Somebody who can kick the ball and get 15, 20 goals. The thing is, that's a rare thing. Maybe they get... Can you say that about everything? A striker who gets 15, 20 goals is going to go to a top five team these days because it's so rare. I feel like if anything, he's going to go higher. I don't think that's a correct... Like Mateta? Yeah. I'm not saying Everton are going to sign Mateta. I mean someone like him. You can find those little gems out there. But the thing is, everyone is looking for that exact mould of player. Yeah, of course. It's so rare at the moment.

1:23:49It's all about recruitment, isn't it? Who's the English striker?

1:23:52Reev:Udinese.

1:23:53Lewis Bowden:Keenan Davis?

1:23:54Reev:Yeah.

1:23:55Lewis Bowden:He's fucking shit.

1:23:56Reev:Second top goal scoring. Have you ever watched him play?

1:23:59Lewis Bowden:Nope. He's fucking garbage. Second top goal scorer in Serie A. Nine goals. That shows that league. He's second top scorer with nine goals.

1:24:07Reev:Martinez is like 15 goals or something, isn't he?

1:24:09Lewis Bowden:That can't be right. I mean, it's just really...

1:24:13Reev:We're nearly in April. Mate, Martinez. It's just really competitive, mate. Good defences. Is that true? Serie A. I'm not one to question it. Top goal scorer. Martinez, 14th. And then you've got... 14 goals. He's the top scorer. He can tell us the defence first. Oh my God. Yeah. Rafael Al on nine. Keenan Davis on nine goals. There you go.

1:24:32Lewis Bowden:That is fucking honking. Wait, what?

1:24:35Reev:Oh, okay. They're all on nine. Ugh. How mental is that? That is crazy. That's minging that. That's testament to the league, isn't it? It's defence first. Is it? Well, it's the opposite really, isn't it? Serie A is not done well this year. Not that's what's happening, isn't it? Brentford. I've got Thiago. Igor Thiago. Igor.

1:24:55Lewis Bowden:Obviously. Admit it, Tom. is amazing. Yeah, no, I made it that ages ago that he's a lot better than I give him credit. I still don't think he's very Brazilian. But I need to get that out of my head. You do. He's just a really good player. He's actually a pretty cool guy. I want to sign him and then make him pretty trendy. So Igor Tiago's an obvious one. Away from that, who deserves the credits? No, the, what's his name, the right back? Coyote. Coyote, yeah. I think he's really underrated because everyone just thinks he's a long throw and he's actually really good. Like a really good player. he was the one who did the gender reveal for his kid with a throw in did he say that did he yeah he did it at the pitch yeah he smelled there's a few Brentford we say this they're just like come on didn't they but Dango's been good I know obviously he had Afghan and stuff but and Sharder no the no the midfielder yeah no what about John Henderson's move this year Henderson's been good for them I feel like he's been a little bit under the radar weirdly.

1:25:59Reev:But has he been their best player? No.

1:26:00Lewis Bowden:No. I think Janel's been the best refielder personally but

1:26:04Reev:over Danskard?

1:26:05Lewis Bowden:Yeah. This is an interesting one. Liverpool?

1:26:08Reev:Bosley? Yeah I've got him as well. I guess not that interesting. Yeah. It's quite an easy pick. Stand out. Absolutely stand out. He was the easiest one to pick. This is an interesting one. Chelsea. I've got Kayseri. What? No. this season you're joking I know you were going to say Rhys James and I get it Enzo's been better than Kayser this year Kayser has had a bit of a drop yes he has no he's not Enzo Flanders has not been better than Kayser yes he has what are you about to reference on your phone I don't know my list right here I can maybe concede the Rhys James point but I think Kayser I think you definitely have to concede the Rhys James point or the Kayser that's tough

1:26:53Lewis Bowden:that's a close call

1:26:54Reev:I still I still I'm quite disappointed

1:26:57Lewis Bowden:in recently for his level but the answer is Rhys James I've got Rhys James

1:27:04Reev:I've got Rhys James and then Enzo

1:27:07Lewis Bowden:we don't want top three mate what why have none of you gone for Ger Pedro because I think he had a massive spell in the middle of the season where he was it was too inconsistent the season to see a best player

1:27:19Reev:he had seven games where he didn't have a shot and I'm sorry

1:27:22Lewis Bowden:every time Rhys James has played this season he's been the best player on the pitch

1:27:25Reev:yeah you do love him

1:27:28Lewis Bowden:it's rightfully so though he's fucking unreal at football good at footy like pretty good at footy like proper and he strikes it I fucking love someone who strikes it like

1:27:38Reev:do you think Enzo's um Enzo's been better this season he's been so important for him because he's had to fill in the 10 then go back in the 8 he's been moved around a lot hasn't he just depending on how Palmer's been I've been a long standing hater of him but even I can admit he's been good this year Yeah, he's been very important. He's been good, right? He's been important for them. Is it important, like, how good, important would it be for them to get top five without a fully firing Palmer all season? Huge. Do you think that'll be good? Consider the back line's been ravaged as well with injuries, yeah.

1:28:09Lewis Bowden:They can get Champions League this season. That's a good season for Chelsea. Good battle for Champions League, though. Yeah, Villers.

1:28:14Reev:I remember that we were, I started talking about how many players they're signing and now, thank God they did. Yeah. Well, maybe they've got a doctor issue, mate, because they get so many. Next one's a tasty. So many injuries and disciplinary issues. Yeah, the disciplinary issues are a big problem for them. Big problem. Aston Villa boys? I went Kamara. I think there's like so many names you could pick. On the basis that he's played pretty much every game, I've gone Morgan Rodgers. I know he hasn't been up to his best over the last month or so, but I have gone Morgan Rodgers. I just went over the course of the season.

1:28:43I've also went Morgan Rodgers, but I feel like there's fucking Villas. There's been a lot of players who have just stood up to the occasion this year. Especially midfield. John McGinn. James fucking class. Important.

1:28:55Lewis Bowden:Yeah, he is. No, he's good, but he's nowhere near their best player.

1:28:59Reev:This season, it has been Morgan Rodgers, I think.

1:29:01Lewis Bowden:I think it's Kamara myself, but I don't think it's a bad shout at all.

1:29:05Reev:I think he's probably the most important to how they perform. Free transfer Kamara as well. Was he? We wanted him and he chills Villa. Yeah, small club. Yeah. I see what you mean. Man United is an easy one, isn't it? Yes. Bruno Fernandes? Yeah. Lamons.

1:29:21Lewis Bowden:And Bermow. yeah it's still it isn't it Casemiro

1:29:26Reev:what are you laughing at

1:29:28Lewis Bowden:I'll put Maguire

1:29:29Reev:I've gone Bruno Fernandes I've gone Dallow

1:29:32Lewis Bowden:yeah no joking aside I've gone Mane

1:29:34Reev:is Bruno Fernandes the best 10 in world football right now wait you actually picked Bruno Fernandes I'll go and Casemiro

1:29:39Lewis Bowden:that's cringe you've actually picked mate he's been playing in the 8 all season

1:29:43Reev:what the fuck are you serious

1:29:44Lewis Bowden:you're an idiot

1:29:45Reev:he's been playing how's he been their best player there's even an argument for Benjamin Seska over him mate oh don't mug me off I think he's some Bremo genuinely you think Brembo's Man United's most popular this season 100 %

1:29:56Lewis Bowden:we'll don't Bruno's been playing his centre mid he's only been class since he's

1:30:02Reev:moved to the team think about how different Man United were when Brembo was at AFCON

1:30:07Lewis Bowden:exactly

1:30:08Reev:you were you were in Casemiro a second ago sorry when Casemiro was at AFCON is he the best 10 and 1 football right now yeah he is right I think he is we'll just segue to next week yeah Yeah.

1:30:22Lewis Bowden:Yeah. Who's better? That's what I'm trying to think.

1:30:25Reev:It's Bruno Fernandes. I can tell you two other players who are close to him. Who? Save it. No, no, no. Save it. Save it for next week. Foreshadowing. Well. Manchester City. I mean, I really want to say like Semenya. I've said Semenya. I've said Semenya. I'm affirming it. I'm sorry. He is. I'm going hard. He is. Why have you gone for Semenya? He's been here two months. Yeah. He's fucking transformed him. I mean, it makes sense to give him credit for the thing. Prior to them signing Gehi. and Semenyo it's not even the goals like he's been doing his such a shift in like other areas of the pitch where he used to always get slid we spoke about at the start of the season like just how much more complete he is he's actually he's contributing even defensively he's taking up like defensive sorry we can't let him get away with Semenyo I understand why it's Harland I'm not being an idiot but I just think Semenyo actually and Gehi Gehi's been more transformative than Semenyo the way they've come in and just hit the ground running I just think it's just Gehi-o Do you think Kim Geo?

1:31:21Reev:I think Geo I'm confusing both Kim Geo Tao and Geo I just think the way they've turned their season around since those two signings and I think that's been a big impact for the rest of the season It's Harland That's such a stinker

1:31:35Lewis Bowden:Donnarum is a better shout I understand why you're saying Harland Harland's been a centre-buck at times Donnarum actually is a better shout How many games has Semenyo played? We'll have a look In the Prem It's got to be less than 10 That's ridiculous, Theo I just think You're trying to be cool. Do you know what? He's played eight games. He's scored five, to be fair. He's played eight games and you've said he's been their best player this season.

1:31:57Reev:I just think, how are you doing a best player so far this season and not including Semenu in any single one? Because you can't. Because he's fought halfway through, unfortunately. If he stayed at Bournemouth, he'd be at Bournemouth, wouldn't he? He'd be Bournemouth's best one. But by the rules, it is not Semenu. He has been Bournemouth's best player this season. He has, yeah. But we can't put him in because he's not at the club. That's unfair. I understand why you're saying Harland. I'm not being an idiot.

1:32:17Lewis Bowden:No, you literally pick anyone other than him for City, other than maybe Sabino. He hasn't been bloody good since coming in. O 'Reilly? Nunes? O 'Reilly's a great shot. O 'Nunes, yeah.

1:32:27Reev:Cherky?

1:32:29Lewis Bowden:Donnarumma. Donnarumma. O 'Reilly. Any of these players? Nunes.

1:32:33Reev:I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to get Semenyo in there. Arsenal. Did you or could you, you could say Semenyo would be if he was there longer, but it's Haaland. Instead you went, I think it's Semenyo. Well, yeah. Okay. Arsenal it's Gabriel Gabriel I'll put Rice I'll put Rice interesting interesting yeah interesting so Gabriel's period of injury Rice playing every minute pretty much so this the left side's gone Gabriel the right side's gone Rice Gabriel will be the player of the tournament in the Champions League but at the moment the most important and best player at Arsenal for the season in the Prem is Declan Rice Gabriel is such a fucking we use the word talisman a lot and also his contributions from from set pieces and it's Declan Rice taking a set of pieces exactly that yeah he's the one creating it I mean then two are the big dicks of the team aren't they really but the only reason why I didn't put Gabriel is because of his period of extended injury that we had to like fill in I think that if anything I feel like it's because we saw the drop off I agree I think I think he's probably been more essential to how awesome performed but in terms of the best player this season for me Declan Rice playing pretty much every minute I agree it is I don't like it I mean I don't not like it nice it's them too innit let's be honest yeah

1:33:47Lewis Bowden:I think you should

1:33:48Reev:get your cock out good lord so no Yorker looking at your list of your 20 out of all them teams who would you say has got their the player who's carried them the most Bruno Fernandes Bruno Fernandes Xhaka yeah

1:34:04Lewis Bowden:Granit Xhaka Xhaka

1:34:08Reev:Thiago Morgan Rodgers could he argue no no nah potentially I mean could be Harlan could be Harlan could be Semenyo I mean if we're talking about drop off it is Xhaka it's something the instant drop off I've done it for a minute it takes some guy to do that you love the Black Akata don't you

1:34:26Lewis Bowden:Bruno G when he got injured Bruno G actually fucking Jesus he's just being carried by one midfielder it's embarrassing really what two two I meant like each

1:34:38Reev:let us know who has been your best player for your club this season in the comments down below. I'm sure they'll tell us anyway. You're all wrong!
