Walker is a level above gary neville now. Not even to dog on Gary, very consistent for a lot of years but I can guarantee you Gary himself would say Kyle has eclipsed him now. Can play as a full back, wing back and centre back, explosive pace, ridiculous strength, relishes the one v one challenges he comes up against. Unreal and underrated

Fan question for the next episode: What is the best goal you ever saw in training (scorer and method)?

these podcasts are much better than those restrained by the BBC rules and such, Lineker in particular is much better when he is allowed to express his own opinion

Glad Gary gave Viv Anderson a mention. He often gets forgotten in conversations about England's greatest right-backs.

I’m not sure it’s a good comparison. Gazza was completely unpredictable and did things others couldn’t. Bellingham feels much more like a Gerrard kind of player. Excellent but not a maverick talent. That’s no bad thing either.

Love the honesty and insight from you guys. May it continue! Yes. I agree. Bellingham is the glue that sticks this team together.

Alan is such a great admirer of Jude. You can see it everytime he speaks about him .

this podcast is giving me much needed smiles and laughs rn, thank you so much gents

I subscribed because of Micah. What a guy! Not just the fun spirit but very insightful comments too.

This podcast is so good it bring me happiness seeing you upload

Great episode, well done Gary getting Micah was a master stroke he is such a force of positive energy and hilarity, love the dynamism and Alan's dry wit and your mischievous comments 😝 can't wait for the next as the season kicks into full gear 🤜🏼

Absolutely great show chaps! Keep up the good work COYI !!

I am a 67 year old Scot and Bellingham is something else his skill level is off the chart and he is only 20 . The way he glides past players is reminiscent of all the best wingers l have seen and l have seen all the best . He is sure to be the best player in the world.

absolutely class show fellas, never stop

Bellingham is extraordinary - most exciting player to *burst onto the scene* since Rooney, in my opinion. He was the last player to have that feeling of 'the sky's the limit'. I don't think Rooney fully lived yup to the promise he had at 18, but Bellingham looks more well rounded and more likely to succeed. Player of the month for Real Madrid in his first month playing - five goals in four games. Wow.

I always thought that a bit about Rooney, which is quite something, when you consider how good a player he was. It's just in the end he turned out a top 10-15 player in the world at his peak, rather than top 2-3... still obviously incredible but never fully reaching the heights of his youthful promise.

Great work

There's more of an empahsis on fitness and speed and strength in todays football than ever before. Like Micah's story about how he knew if he ended up out a couple weeks he might lose his place to Zabaleta. The big squads with loads of options it must be even more pressure on players to keep themselves fit to keep there place and more chance now that they will take whatever so they can keep performing and training to stay ahead of the competition within the team

Gary always gets me rolling when he jokes about something, haves a good laugh and then revert with "obviously we shouldn't be making fun of a very serious subject"...

The last player I saw who was so good and complete at 20 was Rooney, and he turned out to have a decent career. Cant wait to see what Jude can do

I feel as fans we often see great players and dint truly appreciate how good they are then they are forgotten due to injuries or bad transfers. so in your perspective as players could you speak on how truly gifted players like hazard, alexis sanchez, coutinho and di maria truly were

Such a credible podcast ..............from an All Blacks fan!

Really enjoying your podcasts but a little off topic will you still be doing the Match of the Day Top 10 as they are great too.

Hi Guys, Loving this BTW, 1 question please? What get discussed during half time? I get the impression it's what's been working/things to change tactically, Do you use any tablets, computers or to display to work out positional changes etc? I think it would be a good idea if the coach/manager asked the players their thoughts... Thanks

I can listen to all Micah stories all day.

Thing to remember with Wilshere is that he both drank and smoked. There is a pattern when you look at a lot of the players who had major injury problems. Even someone like Joe Gomez who does look after himself has talked about how growing up he used to massively overdo it in the gym. There's usually a reason why players can't stay fit. Bellingham doesn't seem like the type to be going out partying, getting caught smoking in the changing rooms, etc.

excellent entertainment guys. Keep it going. I agree with Gary about the peeing bit as I am the same age.😄

Scotland were full of confidence going into the game but England are just a better side hands down,,,yes Scotland didn’t have a good game but I believe that’s because England made us look poor,,,this could actually be a positive for Scotland long term,,,I believe a footballer learns more from the defeats than the wins,,,hopefully this will keep my guys feet firmly on the ground,,,we are better as the underdogs,,,how some fans thought we could beat a world class England team baffles me

It warms my heart that Gary had micah round for tea and made him a ragu

Did Micah and Gary have a few lines in the Halftime?

True Bellingham was excellent BUT I am always wary of the English putting players on a pedestal just so, later on, they can kick it away from under them! It is easy to take the praise, but will he be able to take the s - - t that will surely come some time down the road? Also glad to see the praise for Dunk....the guy that is the glue in the Brighton team making those around him seem maybe better than they really are.

I agree with alan. Scotland have improved to be big tournament qualifiers. England have improved to possible tournament winners.

I get the train past Everton's new stadium once a week, and it is such a great stadium that it's just insane they could be a Championship club when they open it. As a red I am a little jealous of it, although I'd always prefer expanding Anfield because of the history. And whilst there is a sadness that we're almost coming to the end of the era of the two Liverpool clubs on either side of Stanley park, Everton's new stadium is really gonna be a sight to behold looking out over the Mersey. I hope they can get their act together. Just, not toooo successfully. Like if they're Europa League and we're Champions League. That'd work.

Love the humour ❤

Watched Viv when he was a skinny lad playing for Clifton All Whites. Cmon Spider!!!!

I'm not a massive fan of international football , at least not until it's tournament football & we have improved but it's just a personal opinion. But yep Bellingham 🔥

Hes burst onto the scene!! Like big meeks!! 🤣🤣

big up lads

Everton “without money” - regular European challengers Everton with a billionaire owner - on the brink of administration, gone backwards every season since and are now a rudderless sinking ship. The answer to the question “what could everton do with money?” Serves as a stark warning on how NOT to spend it.

Please get Gazza on the pod.....🙏 what a lovely thing that would be.

I’ve seen both Neville and Walker hundreds of times, Neville was the better fullback. Ferguson would never drop Neville for a big game, as Pep did Walker in the Champions League final.

Only thing I would say about Walker v Neville, is that Walker has only really been right at the top for the last 4/5 years. Before that and despite playing at the likes of Spurs, he loved a mistake and actually, he was dropped from England on occasions (and plenty thought he was too prone to a mistake). Neville was right at the top for almost 20 years. Yes, not as technically sound, but far more consistent and that accounts for a lot. Easy to forget about that because Walker has been brilliant the last few years.

You think that Gary would have enough spare dosh laying around to splash out and pay someone to paint that garden fence properly?

Not a massive fan of southgate but he’s clearly letting the future get a feeling of the inner workings of England while staying with the old guard

Question: Alan and Gary - If you could have one attribute of Thierry Henry, what would it be and why? Obviously talking about his football prowess but if you have one not within that area let’s hear it!!

He (Bellingham) is playing well at the moment..i would suggest the media leave him play his game and concentrate, otherwise they will start to overrate him and expect miracles each time he plays.

And 5 years later they were booing him. Noisy fickle England fans plus the shite press do nothing to help their team.

The issue with Everton is that there hasn't been any stability, the owners themselves haven't stabilized the club, hired a manager who can start with a foundation and then identify players to play a system and style of football they want? All of the signings made in recent years haven't been made to fit any system or style then when it fails the panic button is pressed and the manager is sacked, rinse cycle and repeat.
