Sir Alex Would've DROPKICKED Salah! Scholes & Butt React To Carrick Appointment & Alonso to Chelsea!

29:42An older person saying to him, get one of these. His dad. The bulletproof these. Get one of these. These are a good car.

29:47Nicky:They're a bit easier on the fuel. Yeah. I'm going to get Phil and Tracy in the back. Yeah, but at least, he's gone nearer to the colour of your team. Why did you all get blue cars? They were navy blue though. It weren't like dark blue. You want to see the cars he's driving now though. He doesn't rock around in them. Oh, has he gone big time? Has he started the overlap? Made a few quid. He's got the same Bentley as you. yeah Bolton boys put it out there Bolton and Berry boys done well for themselves there's no Bentleys here there's no Bentleys here but if that prize guy want to give me one I'll drive round in it a bit and I'll even do one of them things we have the massive sponsor's name across the front that prize guy Patrick though wouldn't that Paddy oh fucking hell where's this Patrick thing come from when you said hello to that then people before you no I said it to him I said it to him I said it to him I never said it to them I said it to him thank you very kindly remember head over to that prize guy dot co dot uk and enter the draw for just 35 pence and check out the rest of their competitions while you're over there just going back to United I mean this is something again just as you two have played the game and I I know it's a bit all ground this but it just fascinates me do you think Ruben Ameren is still watching the games and going you've let me down lads I don't think you'll watch I don't think could be watching any Man United games.

31:11Nicky:I think it's just a bad part of his coaching life. Do you think he will, when he's sat there, go, yeah, I hold my hands up, I played it all wrong? No, I don't think he will. They don't do that. They don't do that. I think he's got a belief. These managers, they have a belief in what they do. Belief about it. His belief was unbelievable, wasn't it? He was not changing for anything. It's a bit like Slott now. I know people have got their opinions on Slott and they don't like him. He's not a Liverpool kind of manager. He's not this, he's not that. But if he gets sacked tomorrow and leaves, he's done it his own way so you may as well get sacked doing something your own way rather than I'm going to do it your way or the owner's way or the CEO's way and still get sacked if I was a manager and I've always said this and I know Scrooge is the same as me if you do something your way and it's not good enough so what that's your way of doing things I don't think he should be able to change or don't you he never wanted to change and now what Slott's doing he's almost in a similar position to what Ruben Ambrim was because people are saying what he's doing isn't the Liverpool way.

32:10Nicky:He's got a chance to change. The kind of person you are, you recognise that, you do that in football, you change the way you play football. You're capable of changing. Some people are just like, no, that's how I do it. That's what's got me to this level and that's what I'm staying with. Amrion won and Slott won and you see like the way they've been reacted, the fans have reacted to Slott who, whether we like it or not won the league last year. You've got the players tweeting about him, you've got the rest of the players liking the tweet. For me, he's the only one that's going to be gone. Can I just talk about that?

32:41Because were you saying he's going to be gone? I'm sure I read some a few weeks back and I know it's like, who cares? But I'm sure he signed for another season slot. But when I say who cares, because it seems like even when Jim Radcliffe went, Ameren's got three years at the club and then that went with the paper it was written on. I'm pretty sure he would have signed four or five years when he was managing

33:07Nicky:before they won the match there'll be also permutations like kick in if he wins this if he gets to that level at the Champions League he'll kick in but I'm convinced that he won't be there next year can I just really what at the end of the season I think he'll just go I think it'll be a mutual agreement really I think Slott and I think Ameren are both lucky managers in the sense that the clubs they went to the fans both sets of fans are good they don't just get on the managers back straight away so you can't really argue with the decisions now and you can't argue with the fans being unhappy because they have got behind him they have given him a chance but this more Salah uh tweet firstly when I read it I thought to myself there's no way on God's green earth he's wrote that I just don't believe he's wrote it himself he's probably asked someone to do it for him in his management team or something and they're not happy about summer.

34:02But to me personally, you're leaving. Everyone knows you've not had a good back end of your season playing wise. Just let it go.

34:12Nicky:He's not got a good relationship with Slott, has he? I mean, obviously his ego is that he is one of the best all time Liverpool players and he's been amazing for them. So he's having his final little dig about what he sees. Yeah, but why do that? Because people have egos and it's just like, he is out of order. As Nicky said, that he is one of Liverpool's best players and he's had a terrible season. So what these big players do, they deflect. They'll never admit to it being their fault. They try and blame everybody else but themselves. He's just had a really poor season. He's trying to deflect the pressure away, not the pressure, but the spotlight away from him and his performance has been poor.

34:51Nicky:Going back to what I was saying then about slot. If you're slot, why would you want to stay at a football club where you're not loved, not liked, he won the league and let's be honest his mind's at the high level so he can go to another football club might go back to Holland might go anywhere Spain could go anywhere because of his CV and he can be loved again I wouldn't want to sit at a football club where he don't be I think he'll do another year I think he will the big thing with that as well it's not only Salah it's the people the other players that are liking that tweet they're liking it so they're basically agreeing and going yeah you're right it's the manager's fault look we've never manage at high levels or at any level.

35:34But you'd like to think and I think he's realised his mistakes because Liverpool's a different club. It's like United. They don't need managers to come in with their philosophies. The club dictate that themselves. And I think Liverpool especially, he's tried to change it this year. He's tried to play a different brand of football with more possession with smaller players and probably not as athletic. and I've said this before, Liverpool players, they have to reflect, players and managers and staff, they have to reflect the city and the type of people that Liverpool, they're emotional people, they want to be at you all the time, they're 100 miles an hour all the time and he's brought that out of the team.

36:17Now I think he might try and address that this summer and go back to that. I'm not saying it's just the style of Liverpool, it's not Jurgen Klopp style,

36:26Nicky:it's just Liverpool style. I was going to say then but is that not the people that bring these managers in's fault rather than the managers so if you look at when they brought Amarin at Man United Amarin was always going to play the way he played but that's Man United's fault definitely so if you look at Liverpool you know Slott who I didn't know too much about his coaching days before that pure the fact that his methodology about playing football is very Dutch it's very slow it's very build up patience you know Klopp and Liverpool is boom boom it's 100 miles it's like Man United attack attack attack now you're bringing two minds in like Amorin and like Slotin you change the philosophy so it's not their fault it is the people that bring these minds in so the big one for me is who they're going to bring in next so that's why I think he'll get another year because he won the league and I know people say he won it with a it was like a Klopp style of football more of a Liverpool style of football but then he got rid of two important players I thought Diaz and Nunes and look I know Nunes wasn't a brilliant centre forward but he was a typical Liverpool person bang at him worked him He never kicks off about being on the bench or anything like that.

37:29Diaz was the one for me. Did you see Diaz

37:30Nicky:in the first leg against PSG? Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And you're looking like, you let him go. They've had a lot of bad luck of injuries, I would say that about them. However, I just don't see him staying. Yeah, I know what you're saying about coaches being stubborn. And do you know what? I think he's handled himself really well, Slott. I don't think he's been arrogant. I don't think he's been... He's not been as off as when you saw Amory in the post-match chats. He's been brilliant in the press, it's not good enough it's not good enough I've just got a feeling he might change I think he might go to what he thinks Liverpool should be So what's happened though with the Mo Salah thing and what you said as well about players liking it which I think's again not whether you agree with him or not I'll tell you one thing about great players like that have been great players they never admit they're wrong Yeah They can never see that they're at fault for not playing well Yeah Well with that in mind let's say Sir Alex were in charge of that team and Mo Salah's played I'm not saying that's a weakness that is a strength No, no I know what you're saying I'm not saying it's wrong If Sir Alex is in charge of that team and Mo Salah's put that tweet out would Sir Alex have dropped him for this final game?

38:41Yeah, but Sir Alex He dropped kicked him Yeah But Sir Alex He wouldn't have done it Sir Alex

38:46Nicky:earned that right over so many years to get that authority at the football club whereas Slott even though he won the league the first year he hasn't built that up if you went to I did a survey with the fans at Anfield at any game I think they'd all back Salah more than Slott by about 80 to 20 % I think so I might be wrong you know I think Salah's out of order though you know what Salah's a great player and we all love him as a player brilliant but to do something like that your manager's really struggling it's the end of season but it's quite obvious they hate each other that's quite obvious so when you've got a dislike for someone like that don't tell him privately though they're different nowadays scores and the players are so different like that social media is their face to face talk like we used to knock on doors he knows exactly what he's doing and he knows the pressure it's going to put on slot but it's a lot easier to go and do that than it is to knock on the manager's door and go I need to have a chat with you because it's horrible doing that remember when you had to do it it's not nice but you had no other way of doing it when you were kids so you get it becomes your norm and then when you sit down and you're a 50 year old man and you think why did they just go and knock on the door it's because they'd never do that they never had to do it it's just all spoken through a third party or social media so that's the world that we're in and that will always continue do you imagine if Arna Slott got sacked tomorrow what would Mo Salah think in the morning I think he'd be happy there's a reason why he's doing that is because he doesn't like the bloke and he wants him out of the football club he knows he's going he knows that but he's going I love Liverpool football club I want him to do well and I'm going to have a last little stab at Slott's kidneys before I go well just with that in mind then if you're Slott are you saying to the board because you're going right that player who's causing me problems and causing a bit of dissent in the change rooms and people liking the post and all the rest of it do you almost go oh he's gone now I can I can get this team galvanised and bring them together because that like anything that bad apple spoils the barrel doesn't it yeah but if he thinks he's a bad apple I don't know he should have just dismissed him anyway don't have him involved around the team you can easily do that would you play him last game of the season yeah I think he's earned the right to play for what he's done for Liverpool he's amazing I think I'm not into all his farewells and shit but I think he should I think he should have a bit of time on the pitch yeah 100 % should be on the pitch just for what he's done for that football club yeah I agree and I think also as well Slott's damned if he does and damns it if he don't really Slott's just got to be the bigger person and say look I'll give you your farewell I don't have to speak to you ever again I think of that through all the pressure he's been on I think he's handled himself very well if Slott does go who are you bringing in at Liverpool because the big one for me which we'll get on to a second is Alonso going to Chelsea which is mind blowing to me if you've got a chance to take over at Liverpool I think with that one I heard a Liverpool fan on Tortsport this morning driving in and he said something I didn't really know he basically said well I don't think they'll go back in or was ever going to go back in for Alonso because he turned Liverpool down to go to Real Madrid now if you're Liverpool with the history that that football club's got Liverpool football club will have an ego that we're Liverpool football club and quite rightly so so they'll be thinking well you've turned us down once I'm not going in for you again that's a little bit small minded though isn't it well I don't see I'm a bit like that you can't be like that in business can you I'm a bit like that as a person I'm a bit like that as a person I just don't think we've been a bit like that with softball players haven't we yeah it's like you tried to sad him two years no I turned down I know it's a little bit of a different level but you do but like Scoles Big players with egos Big clubs have egos as well And I just think that And I didn't know that Until I heard this guy On Talk Sports Today say it So that might be an issue Why?

42:27So who would you Like to see In Liverpool Who I mean Are you right in saying You'd think Slott If they kept him Would be a success Next season? I think it depends On this summer And He's got a change To what Liverpool is What do you mean Summer? You're not on about Bringing other players in Are you? Yeah Christ they've just signed a raft of players how much have they spent Liverpool they're still going to spend in the summer every club will spend in the summer but I think he's got to try and get back to what Liverpool look he might have already gone too far down the road as Nicky seems to think as well it might be too late for him but I just think we won the league last year he's got a little bit of credit in the bank still to make it change I don't give a flying fuck who manages Liverpool to start winning

43:17Mitre The world's original football brand Been around for over 200 years From jumpers for goalposts To the Emirates FA Cup final This ball's seen it all It's the brand for proper footballers A bit like these two Mitre footballs essentially Are for players who demand quality A bit like Roy Keane Roy Keane Our old team captain Yeah In fact, out of all the players You've played with over the years You two Who demanded the most on the pitch The one I always got a bit of a shock at was when I went to England with Tony Adams. This is our turf, this is our patch, we don't let any fucker come in. Back in the day when I think about this ball and I think about the players, especially FA Cup finals from the past, characters from the 70s and 80s, when you were two young whippersnappers, who did you look at as footballers and go, oh, I want to be them?

44:09Nicky:I remember my first FA Cup final that I remember watching was at my gran's house and it was Man United, Brighton. and that's the one that stands out in my head that's when I really really got into the football Was that not the Everton one? White side That was a step over one but before that was the one before that was Brighton Oh it was 85 Oh it was 85 and that one as well with Norman's step over and bent into the far corner but yeah some of the players I played in them obviously he was Man United well Scores is a bit of older my Man United but yeah I was a Man United fan and it was always for me Brian Robson Kevin Moran Norman Whiteside Paul McGrath gods of football for me.

44:46And when you look at footballers from that era, and we're looking 70s and 80s now, some very strong looks. Now, obviously, the three of us between us are probably not the ones to talk about follicles on the top of our heads. That's right. But if we did have a lot of... What would you have gone for back in the day? Would you have been full perm Keegan? Or would you have gone Tash? Or would you have gone both? Do you know when you talk... I think of Graeme Souness me all the time. Oh, yeah. He went both, didn't he? Was it a perm Souness? No, it was a long-headed. It was actual to me. A lot of curl, though, wasn't it?

45:24I think in the world of mustaches, iconic, I'm going to put Graeme Souness right at the side of Magnum. Yeah. Because both, if you're going to grow a tache, and I think modern-day taches, You could do a good tash. No, it's a bit patched, a bit off the top of my head. I think modern day, there's an actor called Pedro Pascal. Yeah, brilliant. Great tash. Some people can just grow really good tashes. I think they're coming back, you know, because Grimsby the other night in the playoff game, they had a love with a tash. They're called green, like a proper tash. Really? You know, I tell you, you're right now, because I watch in the boxing the other week, Dave Allen, he's growing a tash.

46:07What was your favourite hairdo in the 70s and 80s? Valderrama. Valderrama, yeah. Valderrama, Rude Hullet. Carlos Valderrama. Rude Hullet, yeah. Who was the one who was spitting in his ear? Oh, Rydie Voller. Oh, Rydie Voller's hair. Yeah. Oh, that's disgusting. Just kept doing it and he was losing it. Oh, that's disgusting. Yeah. Maybe that's why everyone started cutting their ear. I can't just say, I'm sick of the groz in this. The groz. The full range of Maitre match balls are available now at Maitre.com and Amazon from training balls that never let you down to FIFA quality pro-approved match balls ready for the pingers.

46:46That includes shin pads, gloves and all the kit you need for training and of course, match day.

46:50Nicky:Check out the Maitre range on mitre.com and Amazon today. Whatever your standard, Maitre's range is in a different league. Alonso's at Chelsea now. That's official, is it now? Is it official, that? I think that's official, yeah. That's a good job for him, Matt. Yeah. Why? It feels, to me, Chelsea just feels like an absolute... Absolutely horrendous place to be as a manager. I think Alonso's an out-and-out coach. I think he needs to coach people. Young players, a lot of very good young players. Look, I'm not saying they're going to be great. I think, again, we always talk about summer and they're going to need some experience around them young players.

47:25Nicky:I think they're individually very good, Charles. They don't play the team. The Real Madrid job just didn't sue him. Real Madrid don't need a coach. They just need a manager to look after the player. So do you think, it seems to me that taking Chelsea on, because like you say, it's not the most attractive of places at the moment, he's been given free reign. It's not a bad company manager, is it? No, I know, but when you look at teams to come into in the Premier League, you wouldn't look at them and go, oh, this is a great project. Because they get rid of managers too quickly, I think, Chelsea. What they do, though, they give them a lot of funds to go and buy players.

48:02Nicky:and if you get that right they've got some good individual players in that team they're just like scores a bit of experience in there a bit of a more of a team collective putting together rather than individual the game against City in the FA Cup they battled City for the first 25 minutes half an hour they have some players that when they want to they can turn up but that's the trouble and you need some older experienced pros in that squad because you see the way from an outside looking you see I shouldn't say behaviour because I don't know but you see how they present themselves when they're walking half a bus and you know it just doesn't look right and it just looks like you know someone needs to get hold of that football club and then very very very good young players and get them playing as a football collective and they'll be fine yeah what Alonso did at Leverkusen was unbelievable it's like to break that cycle of Bayern Munich and Dortmund it's some achievement so there's got to be some he must be a brilliant coach I think I heard Deard saying in a day on TV that he was a coach and he's a player so he got involved with all the technical side of it and the tactical side of it and the player if ever a club or a team neither the culture it's Chelsea exactly at this moment now if you were offered the job of being the Chelsea manager or the Liverpool manager who would you pick?

49:12Liverpool

49:16Chelsea oh right okay so you've gone Liverpool

49:20Nicky:you've gone Chelsea why? I just think with I think the Liverpool is a bit like the Man United scenario how do you replace Klopp and how do you how do you do that it's just it's a hiding to nothing I think with I think with Chelsea now they've tried everything for the last few years they've sacked people they've brought people in they've sacked people they've got the best young coach they've got another young coach I think hopefully now with him going not hopefully but for their point of view it's like it's a clean slate and he can start again he can build his squad I just think with with Liverpool it's too soon to go in after Klopp and try and change the world there it's not he won the league after one year I know but I think my opinion on that I think that a lot of that was Klopp's work he's gone in and that was all set up to ready to go it didn't have sounds disrespectful but it didn't seem to have to do too much to get that club to win things it was that good when Klopp left that team that team was the best in Europe with no get away from it it was unbelievable I think even Pep said that the best team in Europe by far Liverpool now with Chelsea they've got a lot of good young players and it's more of a clean slate and that's just my mindset would be replacing their Ferguson or Klopp they might get that now with Pep leave it if Pep leaves when you play someone that dominant and that good at the job it's fucking hard I made my choice of who could I win the league with just when you're talking about Alonso going to Chelsea and it's looking like Michael's signing at United this is head not heart who would you see winning the Premier League first Chelsea or United United with Michael in charge I'd agree with that all right okay then you look around the Premier League you're throwing on that shit it's not I'm not looking at one team next year so they're going to piss the league the shackles might come off arse lifting they might do but I'm still they don't fit I'm not totally fair of them if Man United get the right recruitment if there's like three or four players in starting three or four players they're not far off only because sorry only because the rest of them aren't that good now there's not a standout city from eight years ago you're thinking or a Liverpool from four years ago you're thinking you're just not beating them there's no one that you're going they'd be scared of beating him.

51:28Nicky:And they've done that this year. Just randomly, because he links to United, Michael gets the job. What would happen, like, if you got a call and said, do you want to come in? Would you go in? For what? Like, just in the back room, just doing stuff. I think there's... I'm not saying that's going to happen, but I'm saying, would it appeal? I think half the players might want to knock me out. I could have a fucking line of him as I walk in. Here he is. Bang, bang, bang. But, you know, were you saying that? I think players who are heavily part of a club's history, if they ever say anything, I think Chris Sutton were getting a few pelts, wasn't he?

52:13Because he said a couple of things the other day. But I like a former player to not be totally biased. I like him sort of going, Luke, I'm going to give you an honest opinion here. and I think that's what we're all doing.

52:30Nicky:That's what we do, and some people don't like it. And, you know, there's a few things we probably said on this podcast where it's a bit tongue-in-cheek and you, like, step the mark over the mark a little bit. But what we've got on a stand - One in particular. Yeah, what we could say about the Martinez quotes, right? And I go back to it. It's like, our set-up here is not mainstream media. We're not on Sky Sports. We're not on BBC. We're a podcast of three lads with maybe one guest having a chat, like a pub talk. Yeah. It was never meant to hurt anybody. I think Marseille has done really well when he's played really really well and his little his partnership with Harry McGuire is brilliant but going back to what you just said then about going into the football club I think Michael's got enough people around him now that know that football club I think they need to go and get somebody in because there's actually a question you'd be saying about that partnership has done really well which I think it's done alright do you win the Premier League with that partnership no I don't think they do but I'm saying compared to what they was earlier on in the season with no partnership then it's it's decent but I think they need to go and buy a centre-back if I'm honest with you but I think Michael if you look at what Steve Holland's done he looks like the real really really really good guy to bring alongside you yeah Stevie McLaren he might need another one of them he might need another one of them who can like because he's got don't forget he's got Champions League this year he's got next year so he's got the Champions League he's got the FA Cup he's got the League Cup he's got the League obviously he's got to get the recruitment right he's got a massive job I've got to say I'm looking forward to next season already.

53:57Can we talk a little bit about, and probably you know, all the Scots will be like, oh, everyone's talking about Scottish League now, where were you before and all this, carry on, but the Celtic Hearts thing for me it captured my imagination, just because, again, and I don't follow Scottish football, but it's always just one of the things in it Celtic Rangers, Celtic Rangers and then this sort of thing, I kept you know, on the sport channels and what have you go Hearts are still top of the league and you go oh bloody hell what's happening up in Scotland I felt so sorry for Hearts what they've done they've been at the top of the table for like 250 days Celtic was 33 and there's no two ways about it Celtic are a fucking amazing club and you know of course they are but I think as a neutral let's say it went their way everyone likes an underdog VAR and all that kind of stuff we've not mentioned VAR have we this has been a pathetic week for VAR oh god well I know Gaz has got pelters online for saying that was an handball of Mbumo the other day but it was it was it was yeah and not just that one the two in Scotland were massive for the league well the handball the one yeah that that was never an handball at memory of man how could he give it if we were seeing the same things how could he possibly give that do you know the thing it's just the sheer power of it coming off him.

55:24It's clearly his head. I don't care how fast the ball's going. It's dropping down there. If you watch the lad actually push his hand a little bit. This episode is brought to you by Expedia and Las Vegas.

55:38Nicky:Don't have a match ticket. That's okay. The energy doesn't stop at the stadium. Las Vegas is the ultimate destination to watch, celebrate and experience the tournament.

It's not just about catching a game, it's about making a trip out of it. The kinds you take with your mates to celebrate the wins, the draws, and every moment, the action in between. Vegas makes every result worth it. So if you're looking to be part of the atmosphere today, book a trip today with Expedia and catch every match from Las Vegas this summer.

56:14Hart should have had a penalty at Motherwell. It was in the same area of the pitch and they didn't give that and it was clear penalty as well. You can see why a lot of the arts fans are kind of it's still human error isn't it humans are still making massive mistakes yeah but I tell you what I was watching it all no skin in the game again everyone loves the underdog and when it said I think there was like 700 hearts fans there or something you see in that little section it's just surrounded by green and white and you're going oh it's backs against the wall and I absolutely loved watching it yeah it was brilliant but devastated though Oh, God.

56:53It was the 83rd, 84th minute they scored. Oh, it's heartbreaking. And then that last one, that third goal, where you're just going, well, that's it now. It's game over. Where do you stand on... Like, the ref never blew the whistle. Obviously, it's over. We know that. Yeah, I'm with you. But the game was... They've not won the league yet, have they? It was stopped. Did you see all the hearts played out to leave in the kicks? Yeah, they got straight on the coach, didn't they, and left. There was chaos, wasn't it? and I think to be fair to Martin O 'Neill he's come out and said you know it was out of order and he even said the ref never blew his whistle but obviously you're 3-1 you're never going to win it with a minute left not the point but legally you've got to finish the game yeah but I tell you some as well those Celtic fans oh my god because when they went 1-0 down it was you go oh you're looking because the camera's panning around everyone and everyone's like this and fingers crossed and what have you but what a party it must have been up there that night yeah they smelt some booze on that oh that would have been something else but what a season and let's hope for that league in Scotland it shakes it up a bit yeah it's always Celtic Tony Bloom again the left from Brighton he's gone up and put that into hearts yeah amazing what they do do they do all that money ball stuff as well yeah

Yes, I have. For Pressbury, it's unbelievable, isn't it?

Everyone's scrabbling around for tickets. For what? For Bolton? Yeah, so 30 ,000, haven't they? I think you're going to take it. I think you'll get a ticket if you want one.
