Gianluca Prestianni Ban: Two Footed Extra Time

This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.

What's good boys and girls, two-footed podcast?

Oh, bleh bleh bleh, let's start that again.

Three, two, one.

What's good boys and girls, two-footed extra on Friday the 24th of April.

Hope you're well.

Let's get into the news.

The big news coming out of European football right now is Janluka Prestiani

has been given a six-match ban for homophobic comments made

to Vinicius Jr.

Now, at the time, Vinicius said that he was racially abused.

Prestiani claimed then that he was a homophobic rather than racist.

And after Ben Fieke came out and said some very, very stupid things

about defamation campaigns and all this kind of crap,

the investigation found that he was homophobic.

And he's been given a six-match ban.

What Ben Fieke do with him now, I don't know,

because Maurinho said he wouldn't play for him again,

but Maurinho might leave in the summer, so we don't know.

Oh, Wes Bromigalby and has just been docked two points

for financial irregularities.

Now, what that means is nothing.

It means nothing.

They're going to be OK.

And they let's just see, does it have?

Well, they're on 54 or 52.

Yeah, they're down to 50.

So having been safe, they now need a point

to be certain of staying up.

Or they need Oxford to not win both games.

I don't think Oxford are going to win both games to be clear.

They do have a better goal difference

than both Oxford and Charlton.

So if it came down to it, they're six goals better off

than Oxford.

They'd probably stay up anyway, even on goal difference,

but does make that game at the weekend just a little bit

more interesting.

Obviously, at home, this weekend, to Ipswich,

Ipswich need the win to try and ensure

they get automatic promotion.

They do a Sheffield Wednesday away on the final day of the season.

That was kind of my game where I was hoping

if West Brommer saved, they won't care.

Sheffield Wednesday might get a win and get to zero points.

But now, if they lose to West Brom

and if Charlton win and if Oxford win,

they might have to go and win that last game.

Either way, it's not going to mean anything.

West Brommer going to be safe one way or another.

There is a least a guaranteed point against dreadful,

dreadful Sheffield Wednesday.

Brian Robbie should have been sent off

for Sondland against Spurs according

to the questionable decisions panel.

OK.

Michael Inorama, former Nigeria striker, age 40,

passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest

during a friendly match.

Wow, 40.

It's no age.

10 caps for the Super Eagles played in Chinesia, Algeria,

Saudi Arabia and Turkey turned down Chinesia

to play for the Super Eagles.

Wow, that's very sad.

Very, very sad.

I must insist that people, if they can,

find a way to watch York City against Rochdale this weekend.

This game gets a team promoted into the football league.

It is massive for both clubs.

And as I've said routinely, it's stupid

that there aren't two automatic promotion spots.

It's the second time there've been two teams

finishing over 100 points.

The first was Rexham and Knox County.

They did get promoted because Knox County went through the play

off some one.

You look at where Rexham are now and what they've achieved

as a result, no one else is going to do that.

But still, I have no pick.

I don't really care.

I just want to see one of them come up and do really well.

And stay up.

Let's see.

Wayne Rooney had Bruno Fernandez on his most recent podcast.

Bruno spoke about why he stayed at United

when he had opportunities to leave Fair Play.

There's a good profile on Chelsea's Kalam McFarland,

who is their interim manager.

Really good coach by all accounts.

But yeah, for this, no, what are we doing here?

Rangers fans face band for Derby amid dispute with Celtic.

I think just banned them from all games.

I think that's fair.

Yeah, five things in the EFL.

Go read that.

It's good.

Hair pulling ought not to be tolerated agreed.

That's why Martinez was rightly sent off despite the crying.

Any Celtic boss would back deals for trio says Martin O'Neil.

Martin O'Neil thinks whoever takes permanent control

will be happy that Liam Scales, Luke McCown,

and James Forest have all been handed new deals.

100%.

100%.

McCown's a good squad midfielder.

Scales has been very good there.

But for me, he'd be a, you know, a third or fourth center back.

And James Forest is Celtic legend.

He's given his whole life to the club.

So absolutely, you sign him for an extra year.

Yeah, 100%.

Millwall are considering legal action.

After West minister city council used the club's badge

on an illustration of a KKK member.

Well, absolutely, they should sue that.

However, it's not like Millwall haven't had serious issues

at racism and such.

I read a story today from a guy who's a journalist talking

about how back in the 90s, he went to a, went to a cup game

at, at the den, the new den, not the old, the old

den was terrifying, the new den.

And there was a black player playing for the team

who were playing Millwall.

And when he received the ball the first time he, he heard someone

behind him making monkey noises.

And then he turned rent was a black guy doing it.

It's just mental, it's absolutely mental.

Like that your identity of your club would take over your identity

as a human being.

Your identity, the football fan is more to you

than your identity as a human being.

Bizarre, bizarre.

I do want them up, but I also want them to clean their act up.

They've done a good job in recent years.

There's been far less bullshit in recent years, but still,

they should sue.

However, it's not like, look, it's not like that.

They're, they're, they're, they're squeaky clean.

Chris Houton has revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer

in April of last year.

He had successful surgery in the May.

And he seems to be making a full recovery.

He's one year postdoc feels good.

It's gone very well.

I have a lot of energy.

So that's good.

That's good.

Scary, though, I'd imagine for him.

Non football news.

I just think this is important if you're a sports fan.

Carlos Alcarez is out of next month's French Open

because of a wrist injury.

That's tough.

Yeah, you always want to see him play.

Now, Yannick Sinner is back in as number one

and recently beat Alcarez in the Monte Carlo Final.

Sinner is likewise a phenomenal player.

He hasn't yet won the French Open.

So this is his opportunity to complete the career

Grand Slam, which Alcarez has done.

Not many players in history have completed the career

Grand Slam.

Fred Perry, Dan Budge, Rod Lavor, Roy Emerson's actually

done it twice.

And Rod Lavor did it a second time.

But they all did it back in the old era, back in the 60s,

the 30s.

In the modern era, its legacy, Federer,

Djokovic has done it three times.

Nadal has done it twice, and Alcarez.

So I see arguably the three greatest players of all time,

though Bjorn Burb deserves our respect.

And Alcarez, five guys have done the career Grand Slam

in the modern era, which pretty incredible.

Pretty incredible.

So yeah, Sinner now has a huge opportunity

to go and join that list.

Right.

Tennis aside, back to football, off to break,

back with Gossop, Sinasek.

Right, welcome back.

Quick Gossop today.

Lucas Burvall has been monitored by several clubs,

including Arsenal and Chelsea.

He'd be mental to go to either them.

Arsenal just have too many midfielders

and Chelsea's just a train wreck of a club

and they've too many midfielders.

PSG's representatives, oh, so PSG's sporting director,

Luis Campos, has held talks with Gabriel McNally

and Yandee Monday.

I choose not to believe that.

I don't see why he'd hold talks with McNally.

And I just stay away from the Monday

and let us have them.

Thanks, please.

Bournemouth are prepared to sell Eli Jr.

Crupe.

I don't believe that.

And I certainly don't believe they'd sell them for 50 million.

Unai Emery is on the radar of Manchester United

and Rail Madrid.

Rail are not hiring him.

United, I think, would make a ton of sense.

Villa apparently remain calm from the keeping him.

But I think if United make him an offering, goes there.

Ladislav Kreechi is wanted by Leeds.

So Wolves of him alone with an option to buy.

It looks like they might take up that option

and sell him at a small profit.

So Tampton are confident they can keep Lee or Chienza.

I wouldn't be.

And let's see, come up if you come up.

Yeah, sure.

But I wouldn't be if you stay in the championship.

Andreas Christensen has rejected, you know what I think?

This is last Monday.

Oh, this is last Monday's gossip.

Where's today's gossip?

What is this?

Drivel, here we go.

Here we go.

Oh, much longer.

This is much better.

Right, Man City are considering a move

for Enzo Fernandez this summer.

I actually believe that might be true.

Mali does as well.

Aston Villa are interested in James Trafford.

I believe that is 100% true.

Liverpool Manchester United, Manchester City

and Rail Madrid are keeping tabs on Rafael Leo.

I don't believe that is true.

Manchester United are monitoring Mickey van de Ven

and Carlos Belieber.

I think they will get Belieber.

I don't think they'll get van de Ven.

But maybe they will.

Maybe they will.

Man City are in pole position,

design, Ellie Anderson.

We've known that despite interest in Arsenal,

Arsenal are not going to get them.

They don't have the money to get them.

Jayden Sancho has given his approval for a return

to Brucie Dortmund Fair.

Yandee Mondays agents of Hell talks

with Liverpool and PSG.

But RB Leipzig are keen to keep him

from at least one more season.

Igor Giulio could be set for a turn to Brazil with Cresero.

Make sense.

Yeah, make sense.

I'd let the club are set to a point Ed and Terzich.

I thought it would be here, Ola.

Terzich is a weird fit because he's not even Spanish.

I don't know, I'm baske, but sure fair enough.

He's a good manager.

Ish.

Wolves, Bournemouth and Sondaland are interested

in Cupiores Jamaican striker, Roman Barrel, right?

Brentford have a strong interest in Dino Kiev striker.

Matviv Panamarenko, as a potential replacement

for Igor Thiago.

I would bet Thiago stays another season.

Nottingham Forest will attempt to sign

Arna Engels from Celtic this summer.

Yeah, and they'll probably get them as well.

Tottenham are in talks with Sebastian Keel.

Why, he's dreadful.

Jesus Christ.

Right, look, that's it.

That's me for the week.

I'll see you all on Monday.

I need to go lie down at the toss of Sebastian Keel.

Get another job.

Take care of yourselves.
