Hey, it's Hannah Burner from Giggly Squad and the holidays are around the corner, which means I'm officially entering my host's Hannah era with Arm and Hammer Hardball Cat litter.

Losing weight can feel like a roller coaster, full of ups, downs, and being thrown for loops, like when someone brings donuts into the office or your kids' dino nuggets start giving you that look again.

It treats a root cause instead of managing the noise and you use it while you're awake. 20 minutes a day while the coffee-brews, while you set your fantasy line up, an FDA-cleared prescription device for primary snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea.

Well, I can't be getting AI to production. Our competitors are all ready. How do we keep the data secure? AWS AI cuts through the noise. Ready to use agents and the broadest set of AI tools. Stop overthinking. Start building.

AWS AI is out. Hey, it's Friday. Come on. Top, top, top, top, top, and then back on. We've got the Luxembourg Lads with us. Peyton Vish. Yeah. This little sort of evening trip to Luxembourg. It's got the imagination of the whole team. They want to know what went on. I could widen that to the whole nation. Yes. It was good. It was good, wasn't it, Vish? I think so, yes. We have a nice time. We had a lovely time. We somehow managed to not meet any locals, I think. Yeah.

Everyone we spoke to was either Bulgarian, South African, and there was somebody else, I think. French. If you were sat in the Bulgaria end, we had a custom. Yeah. And the curse, therefore, was presumably reversed and then was was whacked onto Luxembourg. Bulgari. No, Bulgari. You're nasty. Yeah. I'll break you down. Yeah. Did you tell them that's not how you pronounce it? Is there a possibility that there aren't any Luxembourgers? I think the whole thing is. I think after the curse reversed, they didn't want to talk to these things, maybe. It's a strange place that's bizarrely monolithic and hilly as fuck. That's all I've got to say about Luxembourg. It is very, we've got Belgium at home. Yeah. Yeah. It's quite gothic, very, very, very, kind of built into the mountain. Lovely architecture, though. Yeah, really nice. Everyone was really sound. You didn't actually talk to them, though. Well, everyone could say, from afar, they're like, they look all right. We were surrounded by Bulgarians that were kind of, they clearly all worked in bank. No, stay with us. They all worked in banking.

They all worked in banking. And one person was talking about, it's Gruem, isn't it, who's in the lead squad? Oh, he's Bulgarian, you know, so he's, I think he described as being like, the only financially viable player in the squad. He's the only, he was described as the only player on the pitch with the seven-figure market value. Yes, that's what it's all about. That's what it's all about. All about. All about it. Classic. Did you mention, you know, you have a little chat about Dimi Burbotov or Strasztoyčko? No, it was immediately, if anyone says anything, still in Petrovo. Yes. That's how we ingrosiate ourselves. Oh, we start two fucking great goals, some great, yeah. A real team goal. And a beautiful finish. Salomon looks, looks and burglary terrible. Salomon, we can't talk about it, though, because the great autumn international break of twinters is now over. It is, yes. I'm reliably informed. So we've got a concentrate on this Premier League muck. Well, long to deek. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Now, we're back in the Uly Zone for the whole world. Anyway, um, sheng in this, sheng in that. Come on, let's get back to the prend.

But it's lovely to have you boys back home safely. I assume. What was that about for the play? I know. You're talking about, we are seasoned travelers and drinkers at the level of Pelle and Maradona. Yeah. Like in your work. No, it's just an expression, people. We use, don't we? It is. Yeah. Yeah, they do it like it. They do it for the first time. But they say it to me. Dogwistly expression. It's a certain type of people using it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just after the warnings, we gave Luxembourg an amazing that they got back safely. Yeah. There we are. Right. Will Manchester City have a safe time at Anfield on Sunday, of course, Sunday 430? It's going to be a super Sunday. It's definitely a much watch, must watch. Such watch. It will be the first Premier League game. Manchester City will play since all those announcements, you know, all that noise and all that noise, of course. And to Morecka was asked how he's feeling. And he said, personally, I'm very calm to be honest. He said the feeling is fantastic among the team. And that we understand the noise. But the focus for us is just what we can control.

The noise being obviously the guilty verdict. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. Put me so he's undocked. A criminal. A criminal, not related to any of that being cuted off. Well, it's just noise. I don't worry about it. It's a very late Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea kind of job, isn't it? It's kind of like, I can keep going. Yeah. There's a lot of crazy shit happening at the club. Yeah, but Tuchel did well though. He did, but he made a very sort of statesmen line. Yeah, exactly. And where we see the same from emotionally, you know, close to the hearts. Ends at Morecka. Ends at Morecka. I think the differences are the owners are still and will very much still be there. That's very, very nice. Yeah. If I know companies that are hitting the wall, two things will be happening. Well, one thing, one thing will be happening. You'll invest. There's going to be a lot of office theft. People are going to be peeling off those little security stickers on the laptops. Yeah. Because when chaos happens, things go missing. That's right. So just enjoy it, guys. That's true. Do you know what, right? Of the recent sort of, you know, you get a lot of Star Wars spin-offs these days. Yeah.

There was a lovely detail in one of them where I think someone was using like a computer and they were like, no, no, that's an imperial computer. We don't use that. That's great. You think the ships and the gardens and the, no, no, no, no. No. No, no, no. No, no, no. We don't use Bluetooth emails. Yeah. That's imperial stuff like get your wire up. Brilliant. So yeah, they may be there. Maybe there is going to be some of them. Do you think Reska's also like, oh, and you've got to pay twice. I'm going to get paid once. Yeah. I have wondered about all the other managers thinking that. Yeah. I've been able to call up the salaries now. In reference of what we're a butter bunch, you said of course. Yeah. I mean, this, this is potentially going to be like the most viewed, primarily gaming history, isn't it? The press conference as well. Good Lord. Oh, man. The noise is going to be insane. I think if it's like the fact that it's at Anfield, against the team who probably have been cheated the most out of success, given the bracket of time for, you know, these things that have been fan guilty of.

And just also like, if you think about it from fan base, from a fan base point of view, like the mobilization of Liverpool fans for their team against others is probably the, you know, certainly the strongest. That's such a life fan base. And it's, I just, I cannot, I cannot comprehend in the same way that I cannot comprehend like the level of cheating. I cannot comprehend the reaction until we actually see it on the website. Was it the, was it the man United bus where someone threw a bottle of strong board dark fruit in it? And there's a great picture of this. Goodie got a brand in the flavor. Yeah. It was a strong board dark fruit floating towards a bus. And it was like, and I think it hit the back window. I don't know if it's much. Can you imagine like just a volley of like lots of bottles of dark fruit? Let's hold on to it, Anita. Wait, wait, wait, we haven't got a vested interest. We are duty bound to say that other strong, both flavours are a vital part. No, no, no, no, we don't have to do that at all. Mark, is what's your, if you were going to drink what strong board dark fruit player would you go for? I'll probably that one.

All right, okay. I think you'd be more of a ballers boy. A ballers boy. Yeah, yeah. Keep it strong. Keep it strong, though, eh? Yeah. Keep it the bow that is. And your bow time. Yes, it's bow time. I think they should invite Yergan Klopp and Brendan Rogers. Oh, a little hard time. And the last time he's been there the whole time in the time. It's hard to have him at a time. Yeah, honest slot. And the record of the club would want to be there. Yeah, I would have thought he'd be there. I want them to look at me in the face. I'm their children. Yes. Who's inheritance will be slightly smaller because of the win bonuses not been won. Do you mind that? Why daddy have to go back to Germany because of that? Do you think Pep Guardioli will be there? He messaged, he posted on socials and he said, look, I'm still here. I'll always be here for you. I don't know how that works. Not in person, but I mean, yeah. You can't get me. I'm not saying foot back in the country. Apparently he's going to be at the PSG game. Yes, I did hear that. He will be interested. I read that Nathan Fielder has moved in with him. Interesting. Erlin Harland was asked about the charges.

We have to stick together and we have to spread the love to each other. Enjoy the ride and smile. Similar mantra that you boys had in Luxorburg. He's one of those guys who probably would rise above it all. But he is also genetically perfect for pulling a couple wires out of walls. So that's probably what he's doing down at the training. Get everything. Everything's going, guys. Just take it off. Respect the process. Respect the process. If you end up with a couple of wires and maybe some copper tubing from the air conditioning ducts, enjoy. Yeah. You guilty until we've heard the appeal. No. That's the animal. That's such a quintessential high caliber athlete talk, isn't it? It doesn't matter what he could be talking about there. It is quite serious, but you could even ramp it up a few levels and he'd still come out with just got to enjoy the ride and smile. The level of dissociation. And I can't understand it from a lot of the current players.

I don't know, Harland's been there for a bit of time, but he's relatively new in the grand project. And if you think of someone like Anderson, Semenio, Mark Gaye, they must be looking internally as like recently through the door as like, Jesus, we didn't ask for this. At no point we, maybe we should have asked. Maybe we did ask, but there's a level of like, well, it's not our problem. And he probably feels it a bit more keenly and he's also like hard-wired enough to like, well, it's people who ask. And this would be the reason they're brewing us is because we're, you know, we've won so much. The guys who could be the perfect manager for this, just this siege mentality. You see not batting on the hatches. I don't know. I don't have a grip record at Anfield, but this could be a turning point. I feel the players will be massively affected by this. Yeah. This is what's so fascinating about it. Yeah. This fixture isn't there. Obviously Harland has to say that. None of the players are going to come out and go, you know, I'm quite worried actually. This is, this is pretty bad. But I think like the first goal in this game is going to be so, so interesting because you,

I can totally see that siege mentality being something that the city players adopt. They're all very, very good players. They're all winners. They are kind of used to feeling like everyone hates them anyway. This noise around them is nothing new is it? It's just there's a lot more detail on it. But at the same time, like the scale of it is absolutely unprecedented. The noise at Anfield will be incredible. Liverpool are still finding their feet. They're unbeaten, but we have, I think it's fair to say, we've not seen the best of them yet. That we're likely to under Irola. So like, this is going to be a psychodrama sort of absolutely off the scale. I cannot wait. Yeah. I think the winner is Sky. Yeah. I think this really does depend on which Liverpool we see. Because, you know, I think Man City, I would, obviously, the, the Marquis will try and rev them up and ignore the noise and all that. But I think if you're Liverpool, you can't be rubbing your hands together thinking there's no better time to play them. And I think, you know, they should fly out the traps and go for it. Now, I know that there's, as you've already mentioned there,

there's still some sort of, I don't know, how would you describe it? I'm not teething problems. But they're still getting you still a new coach and, and, and all the, all the rest of it. But I just, if you're Liverpool surely, with the, with the home crowd and all that's gone on, Man City, you've got to go out and blast them. It's like, it's, you know, you, it must football, almost, you know, really successful sports guys. They, they invent enemies, don't they? And if you're like the heel of the league, you're going to be, you're going to be kind of reveling that all. They were going to see, like, we told you everyone was against it. And it's a lot, and it's a lot of pressure because, you know, as, as, as Vich said, maybe they should have asked some questions. They, they're not on the hook for this. So just enjoy being the heel club for a bit and win the league and see how it pans out. I think, yeah, they seem to kind of like that anyway. I think we'll see a timid performance from it. It'll be really interesting. I mean, I mean, like, so city started brilliantly, right? They've scored 13 goals this season. But that was before the international break, which in Man City years was about 10 years ago. It was, yeah, I, that would be my prediction.

We'll see what happens, obviously, but I think it could be quite timid performance. I don't disagree with you at all. I think there is a lot of, you know, there's a strange amount of in-game PR that would need to be done by city. Like if city, get the first goal. Can't hold your hands up and like, cut your ears. To people blowing you like, there is so many. Can't you? I mean, that would be funny. You can, but there's an element of like the emotion of the game wrapped up in what has unfolded takes the stuff off the field to a different level, I think. But people are just going to be even more furious in one, you know, that's even more justice. I suppose like Liverpool's part in this would be to essentially get first dibs on punching city in the face. Yeah. Which is a general vibe. No, I think you're right. I think that's exactly the way it will be perceived. And the other side of it is like, as Jim was saying about Erola, like he would have seen this game in the fictionalist when it came out and thought, this is a great asset test for where we could be after six games.

Yeah. And it has been a stop start. Little things like Bradley Barclay probably could do in quite a big performance. And now the game is completely flipped in context. It doesn't even really feel about Liverpool at this point. Yeah. Well, we will find out how far the non-cairing shit-hails or events I found this can go in this game. Because if you talk about celebrations, if he can do the year copy celebration at the battlefield, let's see, you know what I mean? Because I... If anyone can, he probably will. Exactly. Yeah. And the verdict and all the noisers, Manchester, you would say, around them. This is not... How can I say? I think this is something that the players would be very worried about. And they would be thinking, do I have a long-term future here? What are the consequences? Because the consequences, we will hopefully find out, you know, at some time before we all die of old age. Actually, this could affect their careers.

And I think there's something that they're seriously worried about. If you need 20, you're a footballer. It's very nice, you're transient, aren't you? I'm a big fan of it. I'm a big fan of it. Fairly answered, it's gone there. You know, if a fan has just gone there for huge money, they're thinking... You'll have a home back in your castle if he wants to. Oh, you've changed it, you. What Anthony Gordon said? What? What Anthony Gordon? He's such a prick that guy. He's at such a wake of prickery. Really, you know, prickery. How have we in this section got to you calling Anthony Gordon a prick? Well, because it's... Because I asked, it's... Yeah, it is kind of my fault. You need to call him a prick, though. No, you did not. You did not, Peter. That was a damning one. Well, look, 4.30, Sunday. It's going to be explosive. Exactly, but Sky Sports will be the winner, as you say. All right, coming up after this, a Vish gets to watch Mansonite this weekend. This episode of The Football Rambler is sponsored by BetterHelp.

I always know what he means as well. I do know what he means. Who's he talking about? Who's he talking about? What's going on? Oh, well, let's find out in a minute. Manchester United versus Tottenham, what's per Saturday at 530. Visch could watch it because it's on the telly. Yeah, he could go to the game. He's not banned. Not a banning order. That's the annoying thing. I think you mentioned it on ones they show about the fact that, you know, the Premier League's back and the focus on the Man City Liverpool game

and how quickly people fall back into the storylines that we left about 10 years ago as Jim Mane, and put it in. Yeah, and so what I saw the fixed list, I was like, I'm going to get them for the weekend, I was like, I have a fuck sake. We've got Man City like Spurs. That's a massive. It's a voucher, Dami, isn't it? It is a bit. El Couponico. So do you now wish that we were back in the Great Autumn International break of 2012? Can we get relegated? What if we got fine points? I mean, you flirted with it a couple of years ago, right? So steady on. Come on. We'll find the same team here. Sorry mate. Yeah, part of the right car tell. Yeah, unbelievable. Unbelievable. Shh. Yeah, I'm meant to know, versus Tottenham Hotspur. I mean, this is compulsive viewing, Peter, wouldn't you say it? It is. Spurs are coming, they're kind of getting their shit together. And Man United are chaotic at the back. So I would go against the optosupercompure of saying this is a, you know,

a Man United win here. Right. But I do think I do think Spurs are in the same way that I guess, the Bobbie started to create quite slowly at Brighton. And obviously it's kind of happening by way, it is happening again. You've got a hole but it's happening again. And it'll come good. But I thought they look good. The last couple of matches they've looked okay. I'm going forward. They seem, they look centulating at times. Absolutely. Absolutely not. I'm not on. Yeah, I mean, do you think bottom of the league Spurs are getting their shit together? I think they get their shit together. They've scored two in five. I think they get their shit together. I mean, they have been a bit better. I'll give you that. They were three and they'll down one. They scored the two. They were. That's the thing. Which will go against that is a very fair point. I think this is a intriguing game. Is Rashford a minute or the in the front? Oh, coming back. Can we main? Currently being assessed. That's not any international players. Van Hecker and Van De Ven, I think I have doubt for this one. Van Deen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rashford has got no return date as well as it's listed right in front of me in a secret website that only I can access.

So, yeah, I think there are a few injury doubts and absentees for this match. And when will you just go against Spurs though? So you've probably got that. So it's at least a one-nil deficit. I think most you know what it is. I mean, they are statistically a much better goal scoring form than top and pot-spirer. But do you worry about the defence fish? Because Pete rightly says, you know, most of the night I've not been too good about the back in recent, well, years, you could say. Yeah, I think just generally the defensiveness of the team is a bit of an issue because they press from the front well. They don't move, but they don't move particularly well like deep in midfield. There's always spaces in front of that back line. And one of the remedies of that could potentially be Carlos Belera coming in and starting his first game played in behind closed doors, friendly. Earlier this week, I think, or maybe back in the last week. So like he's clearly being primed to come in and that's quite a big deal because I mean, I don't totally agree with Pete.

But I feel like a lot of Spurs open play at the start of games has been quite good. Like they have they have shown a decent amount. Basically, what I will say for this particular matchup, I think they've shown enough to worry Manchester United given where Manchester United's flaws are. Do you feel spurs? Not too dissimilar to say full of them because there have been periods of play this season where I thought, well, I can see what they're trying to do. But then there's the sort of the other 70 minutes of the game. And you feel it, you feel a little bit like Will Smith and I robot. I'm not crazy. Like I have seen it. There is good play there and people like what you bottom of the league or you know, you're a big issue. Yeah, sure. But obviously full of game, many not a few problems. I mean, the goal of Manchester United was obviously calamitous and they ended up getting a draw. But I know what you mean is could play out sort of similarly to what it did. Yeah. It's a good tea time matches this weekend. Lovely tea time. Fun. Yeah. Jim, any thoughts on Manchester United's play? Yeah, I think part of the problem that Spurs in particular have had has been when they're playing well and they go one-neil down. And then they get into that kind of fog and it's with all team.

Our teams go through periods like that and it's really, really difficult to sort of dig you way out of it. But I don't know why I'm surprised by this given how the last couple of seasons have gone. I mean, we're five games in and both of these teams badly need to win here already at this point in the season. Like they've got one win between them, which was when the United beat in it's switch in late August. And yeah, something really has to give here. I wonder if actually the international break will have been a good thing for both teams here to sort of just reset calm down a little bit, quell some of the noise and they could kind of maybe go again. You would think, man, you know, I had at home here have the big advantage. Both sets of fans are kind of frustrated and a little bit angry with their teams. And I think I'm advantageous. Who do you think's more under pressure, deserving or caring? I think Carrick is because he's been there a bit longer. Really, I think if you say to deserve you, what on earth did you do? Exactly. I mean, it's not that dissimilar situation to me. You're not, of course, but I think he's in a situation where he'll be quite well compensated if they do that as well.

So there are many reasons for spurred not to sack him right now. I think there's a lot of noise around Carrick isn't there? There's a sort of lads, it's top name kind of quality to this at the moment as well. So there's a lot of pressure there for him. Yeah, a lot of noise and Manchester at the moment it would appear. Well, Antonio Conte, former Spurs manager, Thomas Ains has made a subtle pitch for the Manchester United job after being linked with the job, of course, in the past. He was speaking to the athletic and he said, if you go to a club where the history speaks for itself, history made up of trophies, league titles and victories, you can only honour that history in one way by having the ambition to bring that club back. If it isn't there today to fight for those goals, he continued and said, I know full well that only one team can win there every year, but I must carry in my heart and instill in the hearts of the fans, my players and my directors that spark, that hope that makes you say, fuck, we can win. Strange one there. He also spoke about his time at Spurs and said, I remember once we'd lost or drawn a game and I sent Daniel leave your message, he replied, don't worry, we'll win the next one. I thought, what the fuck? I kept saying to him, look!

He gets off on this stuff. Yeah, oh yeah. It's not good news if he's identified your club as a place he wants to be. No, he knows it's a mess. I guess that's how he knows his career is. Is that what you're up on the dry road a bit? Is that what the roof on the earth has happened? Yeah. Why is the roof cooling me? I'm not a Spurs fan and I find the way he talks about Spurs really off. I remember that second leg against Milan where he, with no due respect to him, he basically tanked that for his own means. I think he brought on Davinson Sanchez when they're chasing a goal in the last 15 minutes. I thought he was a disgrace in that game and he was a disgrace after the game as well. And then I've also been in press conferences where I think he was the manager wasn't he? When Spurs be Arsenal at the Tottenham Hot Swarth Stadium in 2022 when the holding got sent off. Right, yes. And he used four press conferences that were for like the day after the game,

sorry, the evening of the game, the day after the game and then for the weekend, basically just a little artetter. Just go out of his way and almost play like the character thing of like a Spurs. I'm Spurs, I'm going to we beat Arsenal. I'm going to really laudate this guy and talking about how he's really inexperienced off of that. And now he's like mouthing off to anyone who listened to him while our tether is defending Premier League champion. Oh, this is very, this is a little bit clear that we're doing the red card tell thing. We could say we've tried a bit more stuff about this game, right? Yeah, which it's not. But yeah, like he's finding so, he really urges me. I don't know why. I know what you mean. I think would you want him turning up at your club? No, no, absolutely not. Yeah, I know he's obviously won Napoli the league in 2025. So he's got a recent top flight top and a very good league. He was a star's order, but I would say well, I would rest. I would argue that much tonight aren't the crazy club that they were, you know, a couple of years ago. You know, I don't think that order necessary needs to be restored necessarily. It feels like that's never that far away, that isn't it?

Right, yeah. If you put him into the mix, then it's very likely to come back. I don't know. But he's saying, however though to flip it, so he's talking about Spurs and the way he does. Merineo talks about Spurs and the way he does. Yeah. I'm too pretty to be honest. Yeah, that they are. However, there's been a lot of, a lot of places. I mean, Merineo the way he talks about the Turkish superlates. Frankly, this is great for me. Yeah. So maybe, you know, maybe I shouldn't say, oh, look, two absolute idiots are saying this should we believe them? But Spurs are where they, I mean, what were you an angipostercoglu? We're saying stuff as well about Spurs. Yeah. I mean, there is a button. So I understand the word. He got you to pipe up. The rich wouldn't it would be a bit rich. And so I mean, does Erby has this season as well? About the team he's currently bloody manic. I mean, he's there. So I think managers who know their worth are the loudest in this area. Yeah. As a load as I am to try and give Antonio Conte some sort of leeway here.

I don't know. But perhaps it is a little bit unnecessary. But there we are. One former Spurs man is perhaps sharing himself in a bit more glory. It's their former player, Ramon Vega. He says he intends to stand as a candidate next year's FIFA presidential election. Now, before we think, oh, there's a credible candidate to take on Gianni in Fantino. He has previously offered to run for the position when Blatter was suspended in 2015 and 2019. And he said he would stand against that in Fantino. But he failed to get enough support to be included in the ballot. And to be an official candidate, you require the backing of just five of FIFA's 211 member federations. That is poor, isn't it? As a poor kid. Yeah. Be proposed by a member association and have played an active role in the game for two of the past five years as well as passing an eligibility check by a review committee. So if you can't pass that. Yeah. I mean, he's from Zurich on near Zurich, which probably has been forged in the past. Right. You've been forged in the fires and football administration. That's just what you do. Close commute. And he looks at Raffa Benitez right now. His hair's gone right, pleasingly raffer.

That's it. And so I think if you can't get those five votes from the member, I think that's preposterous for you to think that you could challenge him. Yeah, it's just the pipe dream he's not giving up on. In the same way that I'd quite like to be a leading man in a movie. Right. Yeah. I'm not actively taking any steps towards that. No. I'm not going to open to office. Yeah. I wouldn't say no. It seems to me that's how he feels about being a fever president. Yeah. Yeah. I see what you mean. You do have to lobby. You do have to try. You know, talk to me. Maybe he has. Maybe he has. Maybe he's just a big old conspiracy against him. I don't know. Gentlemen, before we go for a break. You see the breaking news this morning. Everton's owners, the free cream group, obviously bought Everton only in 2024, just under two years ago. They're open to selling Everton already. Have they kept the receipt? It is what I would ask. But yeah, they did say that they're open to selling. But if the right person or group to take the club to the next level isn't available at the moment, they're happy to continue.

Okay. So don't worry. They're not just going to walk off. Because I don't think that's how it works. But they did say that they've been happy that they've taken Everton to the next. Sorry. They've stabilized the club. Obviously getting the stadium sorted, staving away any sort of relegation chat bringing in David Moise. But they're saying someone needs to take them to the next level. I mean, if that isn't how it ends up panning out and they get good owners off the back of it, I mean, is that the most successful ownership in Premier League history? Just coming all positive gone. Well, it's not been all positive. Well, I mean, they've steadyed the ship though. But they've said it was all positive. Right. Well, the fans, if you remember the, when the transfer window was closed. It's fair, fair, fair. You know, I mean, they had to dealt with the points, the deductions opposed, haven't they? Yeah. That was them, wasn't it? I understand what you mean. It's not been all bad. I think I'll leave it to Everton fans to kind of decide whether they've endured it or not. Clearly there has been some positives as they point out. But the lack of activity in the transfer window, even that was found to follow in Balaghan himself, wasn't it?

It was. And honestly, the financial situation as well. But even Moise himself was just a bit pissed off. If you want to steady me, you'll have a few quite years. It happens with everybody, Puffer Munsey. Yeah, they sort of was not noisy years, of course. Yeah, is that I mean, I guess they are, they're a massive investment firm. And you know, they put their money somewhere for a bit, they'll take out. And maybe they need it somewhere else. They're also an M8L team. So maybe that's right. I mean, exactly. It's just so quick. And then they're probably leads to such a cheap option compared to everything else here, even though there's more eyes on the product. Yeah. One of the Cayman Islands over there. One of them turned the hill to incident into into an ice rink. And then Everton could play their football elsewhere. Is that not part of it? Do they feel, is it kind of like they've come in, they've done up the house, and they're like, we can flip it. Yeah, yeah. It's probably, probably. It's location location. It did it. It's location location location location location location. Right. Is it three? Do you mean grand design? I think grand design. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right.

You see why you got those confused? I'm just stupid dad just ruins his family's life. Yeah. That was one particular. We're helping the minute Christmas. Yeah, you're not going to be in a Christmas. You're not going to be in a Christmas scene. You're not going to be in a Christmas scene. Your wife's going to get pregnant. Don't ask any questions. Is that the one way they like surprise them, though, and sometimes they hate it? Would you mean as in? Oh, no, no. No, no, no. And your home made perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Grand design is where the man of the man of the house decides that he wants to spend all of his family's inheritance on a turret. And there always been. And there always been. There always been. There always been. There always was. They're always fucking minted. And they take an old dilapidated light out and converted it with a fucking house. Again, you're speaking of one particular episode of it. I'm a clown. Kevin McLeod goes, this is a terrible idea. Keep the camera rolling. Keep the camera rolling. This is a bad idea. I did make an obscene eye saw that shouldn't be allowed. And then the wife leaves because the man's terrible. Yeah. Did he ever end up in that light house? No, I think the lighthouse one he didn't actually know. No, I think he did it up and then he asked that like, because he spent too much money. And they obviously undercooked. And the old ones are always like, oh, and it's, we're going to be in by Christmas.

2020. It's like, oh, no. Yeah. You don't know. COVID's coming. You're decades. Yeah. I do love Kevin McLeod, but like it's the voiceover when they're like, yeah, it's just be our dream home. You see, come over the top. It won't be. It'll be yours. It'll be yours. It'll be yours. It's living in a light house. Good. Why does so many people want to do that? I know. I know. It's quite good. I think it's because you can be lifted. Yes. Yeah. It's one for you. No, I can't. I think just like if you leave something at the door, you're going to put a shelf up. Yeah. I've got a curved shelf. I've got a very high turbine. Perfect slide. If a kid knocked on your door and ran away, you've got to, you'd be fucking living. You'd have to stay away on Halloween, wouldn't you? Yeah. Yeah. But that doesn't go down there. Shit. The whole city will be hosting Everton this weekend. A hall going to just pick it up where they left off at the Premier League. I think that's the only way to get a new castle near the glove on them. Oh, well, that was a shame. That was a shame.

That was a shame. You got to leave it there. Yeah, I think for the... Okay, fine. Have you noticed, have you noticed I'm dressed like a miteris... Yes, sir. Are you white? Yes, sir. Yeah, you look very sexy. The white trainers are bought from a peacock's or a Johnny quid. Well done. Yeah. Thanks. Excellent. Other birds are available. It's at the most normal you've ever dressed. Yeah, I think so, yeah. After the... There were some unkind words said on the last round, but I heard you. I didn't say that. Peep were all the game. They were all the game. Peep were the white... I want from you. Peep were the Ryan F. Fly. We weren't sat next to each other because that would be mental apparently. I just... I love it. I just love it. I love it. I love it. That's consistent. It was... It was... It was... It was ten quid extra that choose to say. We were... We were so far apart. We got on different parts of the play. Yeah. But it... Peep messes me to be saying... He was boiling hot on the plane. He went, I'm going to take my shirt off. And I was like, sure. Got out of the other end.

He was wearing a shirt. Yeah. He was wearing a blazer. I didn't realise that he was wearing a sleeveless shirt underneath. Like a mess like. He came... That is... He came to luggage claim. Look at my compass. I did take my shirt completely. I've tried to put it in the shirt. I've tried it completely because it was so hot. And it was just... I was waiting on the tarmac. And I tried to change my t-shirt with another t-shirt on. But I couldn't. So I was like, fuck it. I just did have my top off on a Ryanair flight. The interesting thing is, I think I mentioned on the Instagram, but I didn't explain it properly. There was a lady near me who was just travelling along with the bear beach. She's always a fucking nightmare. She had three big old bags. She's the nightmare. She's the nightmare. I put the bags on the player for her upstairs. And then at the other end, at Luxembourg, I took the bags off for her. I said, you know, let me help you to the passport. She's like, no, you're right. Well, so I had both of her bags. She took one off me. And she went through passport. And I got somewhere else because we're not a you anymore. And she was Portuguese. So I was like, I'm just important.

I'm woman's bags. That's the good thing. That's naughty that, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Have you packed your bag yourself, sir? Oh, she did. I don't know what's in it. And he got me to stop the woman. Yeah. Because she was like, genuinely looking quite panic. Kevin Connobax. And she was like looking around at me. I was like, oh, my friend has your bag. And she was like, who are you? And I showed them the message that I sent to Peter. Like, no, he's coming to me. That's my friend has your bag and your baby. Yeah. All right, let's go for a break.

Welcome back to the Football Rumble, everybody. Oh, my goodness, the Premier League is back this weekend. We're of course extremely excited about that. But what's even more exciting, Dero, I suggest, is that we'll be recording the Football Rumble Live on Monday morning. It's going to be live, baby. So join us live on our YouTube channel at 9.30am Sharp on Monday for our reaction to all the weekends football, live, walks and all, the football rambles, 9.30 on our YouTube channel. Oh, my goodness, do not miss out on that. The bottle being your ears at the normal time and all the rest of it. But if you want to get ahead of the game, join us 9.30 on Monday.

Right, Arsenal, the Premier League champions, will face Leeds United on Saturday, 12.30. Daniel Farca, when asked about Manchester City's charges, he said, not my topic. Nice. My topic is football. That's great. We've not heard about the topics in the wild. But it's good that he's on topic, though, Jim Caban. You have to say Leeds United have been, because they currently sit fifth. They are in line for European positions. Dero, I suggest, with all this man-setting stuff that's going to affect them. There's six points off the top. Could we see a little challenge for the title? You want to that. You want to that. You don't think they could. OK. That's good. You've got some money down. Now you're turn to answer. I agree. Hey! Got him. Yeah, I'm asked. This is a nice fixture. It is. This is a very, very different proposition from the Leeds of last year. Arsenal will be in the fifth and fourth. I don't think anybody's going to be getting results like that. I don't think it's Leeds this year. They look really, really different, really, really good. They've kind of lent into what's worked for them really well in terms of adding very sort of physically impressive

but technically capable players as well. I think it's going to be really, really tough afternoon. And obviously, Arsenal come off the back of a really chasing three-neil defeat by Brighton, where a lack of pace was exposed and was a clear problem. Obviously, it's slightly different at home in terms of the atmosphere and things like that. But, you know, Arsenal will have some questions over them. And this is a tricky again, and I think people realise it is. Leeds of still unbeaten, I know a few teams are, but yeah, it's going to be a tricky afternoon, I think. Yeah, it's funny to think that Arsenal, that came a way to Brighton. I forgot about it because we've had so much international football. But he's right, Vich. Leeds will be going there with high hopes. Yeah, they will fancy something not least because Arsenal have so many injuries to continue with the moment. So that happens is out, definitely. So Lea was out, definitely. Yeah. What's the situation with Rice? I think Rice was just rested over the international break, but I'm not 100% sure on that. As the Alex Scott was sacrificed at the altar of that. Yes, he was. He's in line for a place, but you have to wait and see.

There's also Ezri Concert and Christopher Solis as well, as well as Max Thauman apparently, so he probably wouldn't start, but might have featured. So yeah, that's a fact, as well. Big game for Ezri, I think. Yeah, likely to start. I think we're all fans of him. I think if you're a fan of football, you're a fan of somebody who plays like him. But he's a really strange few months. Maybe you can extend it to the back end of last season where, I suppose, he just stops scoring, stop playing. I don't really know. Like it feels like he is a quite crucial juncture in. It's interesting you say that, because obviously watching him for England. Yeah, yeah. You think that's what triggered that actually. Yeah, no, I know what you mean. Yeah, I mean, the back end of last season, you got that goal against Newcastle, of course, but. Yeah. I don't you mean, has he had the impact maybe that he and some of the fans would have hoped for? They've won the league in his first season. And he's not too shabby. Yeah, man contributions to the last one. Yeah, yeah. And you can pick out moments of it. The goal against Barley, because he was stunning.

It's probably asked the best goal of the season. Yeah, but what you have with Ezri is something that everybody knew when he did at Crystal Palace. The nature of play of Crystal Palace is you're going to have to pick your moments. And you're going to have those, you know, he has, you know, a handful or two handfuls of great moments every season with Arsenal. It's got to be week in, week out really. I want to say great moments. Maybe that's, that's a little bit too much of a high ceiling for the vast majority of players. But I take it with, there's a that, you know, he looks great on the pitch. You know what he can bring. But if you start really sort of scrutinising it, you might go, okay, we need a little bit more end product, maybe you'll, or something. His style is really interesting, isn't it? Because he's very, I love him as a player. I think it's very, very calm. And there are times where he feel like maybe just make a sprint there, though, or like press a bit harder there or, or, or whatnot. So I wonder if that's something we'll see from him a little bit more. I also think playing him and Calafuri together, if you're starting as it on the left, isn't the best fit because Calafuri runs around a lot and ends up in the spaces

where Ezra is most effective. He actually played in a sort of inside left position for Crystal Palace quite a lot. And was very good there. So he can play that position, but I think you need to fall back going on the outside. So I suspect if you play Ezra and he can piae together on the left side, that's probably the way you get the best out of Ezra. But Calafuri has been like by far in a way, as there was kind of best player in that position. So it's, you know, a little bit of an imperfect solution at the moment. Yeah. Leeds United might be without Daniel James, who had a pretty good international break, didn't he? You know, for Wales, he was, he was involved a lot against Norway. There'll be without Joe Rodin as well. So, you know, it's Harry Wilson still out. Well, he's been assessed as well. So, I mean, I think with Leeds though, what happened in the Wales camp? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe, maybe Daniel James, one of his legs just went, I am eventually tired. Can I lose a yard here? We've got so many yards we can lose. I was about to say you can lose ten of them and you're still be all right. Oh, man, he's not that serious.

Yeah, indeed. Well, gentlemen, McKellar Tetta was speaking about his first day in charge of Arsenal all those years ago now. And he walked in and it sounds a bit like Antonio Conte. He said, I demolished the office. I just destroyed the office and put everything on the floor. The computers, the laptops, the cables, then I brought everybody in. And I said, if you want me to help you endure your profession and your life and the passion that we all share, you have two minutes to put this in order and be ready to work together. I'm so mad. It's been like that from the start. That also makes it sound like the office is made of Lego, doesn't it? There's no way you're smashing things and people are putting them together in two minutes. I love the thought, yeah, like there's just broken glass, there's broken everything. We'll put it back together. That's just a bad idea. I like the means, Peter. I like the fact that when you're doing this story, Vistamolish is on Mike's stand. Yes, taking inspiration from the girl. So now I'm tied it up. Your a man who loves a computer and a wire. Would you relish this challenge or would you be utterly disgusted?

I'd be up to the task, I think. I've got everything back together really quickly. I think winning the league was the worst thing that could happen. I thought Polfo asked for that manager. Worst than the man's six. Yeah, yeah. Because it just encourages him, encourages people like him. Oh, I do nothing. No, I don't encourage him. That's the thing. He's powered by some on non-fuel sauce, as he'll do yet to be discovered. Some kind of spiced juice. Yeah, he'd be like this regardless. I mean, this is day one. This is a story from day one. Yeah. Also, a ramble listener who I won't name has been in Mikael R. Setter's office after a game. I think I know who that is. And sent me a photo of his office. I mean, it looks like they didn't really clear it up. Yeah. Well, it's a bit chaotic. But it's not for the right way. It's not for all the camera, but they're just wires everywhere. Right.

Yeah, I'm just pulling out wires. I'm back on board. He needs to know that Japanese lady who got that. Maricondo. Get her in there. Shes out. Quick, tidying up. Yeah, she was tired. Yeah, she was tired. So everything's just a mess. She went a bit punk. There's like a smush. Does smushing your business up bring you joy, Mikael? Yeah, that's it, does it? Let me just show that a bit in Pinocchio when they all bash the place up, when she went out. That's gonna Pinocchio. Pinocchio. Well, I wanted to say Pinocchio, because that's probably how you'd say it. Pinocchio's not. No, no. For those who influenced by American cousins, Pinocchio. Right. I don't even remember the bottom in bit of the film. Always just as well. It's not as it gets long. I think it's more like just a gar at one point. It's just as the round bit. They were trying to hit the donkeys on that toy. It's just before the donkey bit, right? Yeah. Why do they turn into the donkeys? Oh, because spoilers. Because they're not the island, there's something. Not the boy island. It's a garter bad. I can't remember what it's really saying. It's not the tail brothers. It feels like a nightmare. The big news is for Arsenal. Declan Rice and Martin Oda got a close to signing new deals with the club.

Of course, Attetta got himself a new deal. Are you excited by this, Jim? Yeah. I mean, more of this is good. You've been here. You've seen what I've lived through. Yeah. And you know, the dark days when the, when the, this branch of the red cartel was really not pulling its way. Yeah. Not getting new deals for players. And then you leave it. Absolutely. Yeah. Time them down. Have you thought about paying him twice? Yeah. Declan Rice should be literally tied down. So yeah, it should be rest. But I hope that's what's been happening over this international window. Does Victor Jocarez deserve a new deal? He scored in every nation's league match during the great autumn international break of 2020. If he has a contract with Sweden, he absolutely deserves a new one. It's a, it's a really interesting this kind of juxtaposition. He's only started two games this season, but he's not been particularly involved. And I think there's, there's a clear problem in terms of him making the right runs and certainly his teammates finding him in the right moments. And like at some point, I mean, I know that the quality of opposition there up against in the nation's league is a lot different, but the, the needs to be some work done on,

on the relationship between Jocarez and everyone around him. Yeah. It does feel like to me that if, like last season, you could say, well, it's the first season and he's adapting and he could have all those arguments. It doesn't look like much has changed this season. You think this could be, it could be, it could be, Karrie is really might well be his last season. I think that was very, very possible. But he's a battling player in that he's called 21 goals last season. That's more than anyone has scored for Micka Latetta. And obviously that's not been the case so far this season. But he's, he's going to start. I would be, I mean, if Micka El Moreno starts, that, the right is really on the wall. Yeah. But I think Jocarez will start the weekend. So you'll get a chance and you know, he's, it's got to be hard without a run of game to write. And he should get that now. He should get it. He should get it. All right, everybody. Let's sort of dip down into the championship for a brief moment. Because the Southampton Spygate Saga has got its latest update. And FA independent regulatory commission has given Tonda Eckert a six week suspended ban from all football until the end of the season as well as a 28,000 pound fine.

So he will stay, stay on the Southampton manager for the foreseeable future. So it's a suspended ban. Is he going to wait lightly or as his and maybe some other people's arguments? Are we getting too hit up about this? I suppose it depends like when they put that suspension in. It should just loom over him. It should be any day. Well, I mean, but that's, that's what it is. Like how until the end of the season, yeah. So like, but a suspended ban is, don't do that again. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's fun. For this, it was just, it was just something with the, um, granite jacket and suspended fine. Yeah. Well, he's not going to, he's not going to do another COVID voucher, isn't he? Yeah. Unless, does it cover the Russian ones coming off? Yeah, maybe. You're spying again, not behind a tree. Definitely. Wow. I mean, obviously like there, the punishment was what happened to them in the playoffs, right? That was the club, but I mean, echo himself, obviously sanctioned the spying. Yeah. What is solid? Yeah. What counts as spying? It's what's heking through somebody's letterbox or behind a tree into the train from a
