What i like about Micah is the passion. It's missing from a lot of football coverage now. He just seems to love being in and around the sport and genuinely happy to be there. Love to see it.

Morning/Afternoon fellas, big fan of your podcast since you started. Im a player scout for Congleton Town FC and quite a bit of travelling around Cheshire, Staffordshire and the north west, your podcast fills that time like nothing else can. Thank you very much

The referee clearly saw it was Grealish and thought he wasn’t fast enough to get a goal scoring opportunity so pulled it back 😂

Big Meeks had some fun in Miami with Kate, and the boys!

Said it for years, refs should be interviewed after games just like managers and players are and should be made to answer for any dodgy decisions made during the game. How is that ref just allowed to jump in his car and go home without explanation after that?!

good idea to be fair

Chelsea, Fulham, Spurs and Bournemouth all performed well beyond their anticipated level on Sunday against teams that had one thing in common.

Newcastle were utterly dominant and should have won by 3 or 4! The lack of commitment and effort from United was scandalous! 😵

In the early 2000's before he got his big break, and before he even had the name Dynamo, I used to see Dynamo performing tricks outside nightclubs every weekend (thinking about it now, he probably wasn't even old enough to get in the clubs) He always had a large crowd around him, watching intensely trying to work out how he did the things he did. You could tell that he had something special about him even back then & that he wasn't gonna be hussling for tips for very long. A great kid, & really happy that he found success.

I just don’t think Grealish would have even got a shot away. He’s not quick. They’re talking like they had a goal chalked off

@lineker Marco Silva's head was turned by Everton, of whom he tried to leave Watford for. He was a brilliant manager, and made us not just competitive but challenge anyone in a game. Unfortunately Everton trying to nick him took it's toll. Now Javi Gracia, your comment would be super relevant for, he was 100% fired too soon.

Barring injuries Reece James is miles clear of TAA. It’s not even close 🤣

Jack's slide was cinematic

Grealish was one of Guardiola's most trusted players last season, with him starting in all their biggest and most important games, so I imagine that will stay the same for a few of the biggest games this year.

For Micah, IMO, Grealish needs to showcase a lot more hunger to put the ball in the net... He needs to put the most vital football number against his talent.

In-correct r.e. Silva and Watford. Everton came in for him and his head was turned. He downed tools and our form was awful! Everton then got fined for tapping him up.

Availability is one of the best qualities a player can offer, kdb lacks this ability often injured now, was the best in Europe for passing isn't anymore,

I wonder if Shearer will mention Sunderland vs Newcastle in FA Cup draw...?

Trent can hold the throne while kevs injured then as soon as he’s back he can go right back to second

Phenomenal 🩵

A wingers job is to assist or score,not to hold the ball up😅😅

I have been listening to you guys since you started, and I'm always entertained because 1. Shearer and Linekar are my absolute football heroes. ( Micah I love you too) But also you're so down to earth with your analysis, you make fun of yourselves on a regular basis AND identify that the game has changed. I am SO SICK and tired of hearing the Man United guys still going on about the fergie days! Not naming names but Gary Neville needs to SHUT UP! It's because of those guys that the club doesn't evolve! They need to move on! Sorry rant over!

Happy Birthday to Alans little one 🎉

I think KDB might have something to say about that, but TAA is undeniably very good

As an Arsenal supporter I might recognise something of the Aubamayeng situation in Rashford. Toxic, bts bad influence on others, pruning their commitment to the manager, ultimately affecting performance. Could be wrong , but this is all a part of the entertainment innit!. Smugly satisfied Gooner

England has to win the Euros. The team at the moment is full of experience and prospective talents.

If Spurs had of sat back they would have been thrashed 5 or 6 all out giving it a go was the way to go and Micah referring to the Chelsea game calling them naive well they should have scored 2 or 3 while down to 9 men.

Talk about Mainoo the young lad has come in to a team playing poorly n he's been brilliant looks so comfortable on the ball but he plays for Man United so won't talk about him till he plays for England

If we look at the hand gestures from the ref for the decision on the Haaland foul in the last minutes, he "blows" for a foul (raising one arm), if there was playing the advantage he would've raised both arms to signal that. I think he did mean to give a foul but didn't blow his whistle properly. Hence why he blew again.

I think no one is looking from the ref's position and that he may not have been able to judge that Grealish had advantage over the 3 defenders around him and had second thoughts. Also spared Grealish from messing up a one on one as it was not clear he was in control of the ball. Spurs also had their share of bad luck as what is an own goal. Simply City did not do enough and Spurs did as much as they could do not lump this on the ref because you missed a sitter Mr Haaland.

the only salt I'm sensing is from you; Man Utd were lucky it was only 1-0; trippier free kick, decent onana save - that's without thinking too hard. On top of those, Shaw & Macquire were easily their best players; rashford, bruno & martial were wasted uniforms, Mctomminay & the 18 year old couldn't compete whilst your full backs were left facing gordon & livramento / almiron & trippier. That's why the performance easily exceeded the scoreline against a team that hasn't beaten a top half team away in 18 months+

Does Micah know what spitting feathers means?

Every single goal Liverpool concedes is TAA fault… Every single thing he gets criticised about I see on a weekly basis other teams and players doing the exact same things and it’s NEVER about that player People have this crazy emotional argument stating TAA cannot defend when in fact that’s anything but the truth He had the best defensive stats in the city game on the pitch, you don’t see pundits digging that up do you, they state instead that Doku had 11 successful dribbles so therefore TAA must be bad when in fact his dribbles only created ONE opportunity and that was against Macca People also say he can’t play for England in the big games like he’s never played the game before “he can only play against the small teams because he can’t defend” Seriously, just stop this utter garbage punditry that’s based off of emotional nonsense and instead give us stats with context!

Grealish is too negative when he's in the final third. If he doesn't win a free kick he doesn't know what to do so just passes it backwards.
