Some utter BS from the guy Mark on that podcast. Stevie Nico the only one talking sense No idea what Shaka was talking about!
Looking back & in comparison between Man Utd & Arsenal fc.. Arsenal always have a polished game while Utd have to grind big games.. I think that's Utd strength. I hope they remembered that. Congrats to both club for qualifying
you werent that eager to talk about refs in madrid derby when de paul should have been sent off just before the greezhman goal. why there is no real ref to talk about this kind of decisions? ex barca and atleti player , luis garcia is enough? him and kieran gibbs are the worst pundit of the show plus lebof. at least lebof is funny unlike the other two.
Great show today , fair and logical
Really poor guest. Loved to say hmm hmm and yeah yeah a lot. Could not complete the episode.
The Gab or Juls show indeed
this file doesnt work
Thanks for informing the people about the Iranian women's situation ✊🏻✌🏻
Please stop the horrendous background music when people are speaking!
Jules' point of correlating mindset and mental strength of a player to performing and justifying his price tag is simplistic and unfair. It is completely arrived at with the benefit of hindsight. If Joelinton had not reinvented himself, he would have been seen as weak and not able to manage Geordie expectations. If Haller didn't bang in the goals at Ajax, the enduring image would have been of his failed stint with West Ham. Is Aurelien Tchouameni mentally sorted enough to be a guaranteed success at Real? Did anyone think Tammy Abraham would be such a success in his first year in Roma?
Maybe Stevie watched the wrong game again 🍻
They need to flip Lukaku with Kane and everyone would be happy
Opening audio sounds terrible
Please lose the background music, it distracts from the actual content and is annoying

Good
Best extra time ever 🔥🔥
Burley is a fud. He bangs on about how signing good players would put increased pressure on Solksjaer. What then? Is he supposed to make no signings and give up trying to improve the team? Does Burley never listen back to these shows and find out what a tosspot he's been.
I wanted to ask the FC crew: when does player decide when it starts becoming about money and when does it end about the passion. Specially when players like Frank left to leagues like Abu Dhabi and leave a competitive league
