The car was a sponsored car when Murray was chairman it was a tie up with Honda , after months of trying to get rid of the smell Honda demanded the money for the car , it must have been something like a Honda legend as it cost Gazza £20grand as Honda wrote the car off.

Such a great show.

Denis Law couldn't celebrate at OT in 1974 when he scored in already relegated United's last match of the season. The other City players ran up to him to do the usual ecstatic goal dance, and he brushed them off. Shortly afterwards he was sub'd and went off in tears. Love Denis.

I think the Prem is the most entertaining and perhaps edges it in terms of pure quality as well, but some people act like it's miles better than every other league which is insane. The fact that the worst United team the world has seen and an injury shot poor Newcastle are literally sitting in 6th and 7th is a testament to that.

I was looking forward to this episode particularly to Big Meeks bringing up some data/evidence in support of the game getting "more intense" like was discussed in the previous episode. I don't think there is a better group of people who can analyse/compare football generations with appropriate research. Will wait for Micah to get his homework in order, maybe in the coming episodes and win over these two skeptical legends.

Most complete player - it can only be Ruud Gullit. A former Ballon d'Or and European Footballer of the Year came to the Premier League towards the end of his career. Played defender, sweeper, holding midfield, number 10 and striker during three years at Chelsea with so many man of the match performances. At the 1998 World Cup he even played in goal for Holland when Edwin van der Sar famously refused to play. One of the greatest players of all time and quite possibly the most complete player.

Al getting all sentimental is the highlight of this episode 🥹

Liverpool squad were abroad before playing a friendly in Tel Aviv mid 80s. Dalglish, Hansen and Souness convinced Steve Nicol that Dalglish was dying - as in days to live - and Nicol fell for it but was also sworn to secrecy. Cue a few days of 3 of them trying not to laugh as Nicol was basically treating Dalglish as a deity, before they revealed the truth. Nicol was apparantly extremey gullible and fell for a lot of pranks.

Imgaine the Prem's top 6 are worth more than some entire leagues combined. West Ham has more revenue than some league's top 4 teams. Fifa needs to introduce a global salary cap before football is ruined permanently.

Guardiola wasn't brilliant as a footballer, but he played a very important part in Cruyff's Barcelona setup as either the half back who dropped into a back 4 or a centre back who pushed into a holding role. His main job was to receive simple passes from the defence and recycle them into midfield, so he was neither a destructive midfield spoiler nor a playmaker like Pirlo. He was a very important part of that setup and what he did, he did very well, but what he did wasn't especially dynamic. If you were to look at the number of passes he made in the game, and the success rate, they would be big numbers, but then he wasn't exactly a creative powerhouse. On the face of it, an unfavourable conclusion would be that he was the 'water carrier' in that side, but he was more important than that suggested.

Sorry Alan but if you played against Newcastle and scored, you would never celebrate that goal NO WAY

In order to determine whether the English Premier League (solely based on Europe performances) is the best in the world, ask yourself the following question. If PSG were to win the CL, does that make the French League the best league in the world?

It's almost never had the best players. Not in the 90s, 2000s, 10s and now 20s. Even our very best players Henry, Ronaldo and Suarez ended up moving to La Liga whereas no PL has been able to poach the best players in their prime from La Liga. Also our best teams despite all our money get embarrassed in both the Europa League and CL in too frequent a manner. We may have the most entertaining league and even that's starting to be called into question given City's oil money dominance.
