I'm amazed that Zabaleta hasn't been on here yet.... it would easily be your highest viewed video. Micah's willingness to take the piss out of himself and the enjoyment that Alan and Gary get out of putting the boot in, would make it a great episode...Maybe getting Gazza on to respond to some of the stories Gary has told about him would be a good one too....maybe he has a few Gary stories as well...

Using McDonalds as your example was poor too, considering that 25% of the UK population is obese, which is a massive public health problem just waiting to explode as the population ages. Unfortunately we seem to be living in an age where there is very little empathy, as evidenced by your comment where you could not see the issue from any other perspective than your own.

Rob Lee most underrated. Everyone who supports Newcastle adores Rob Lee.

Loving the absolutely shameless product placement 🤣🤣, almost had in tears laughing from then on. Great work and loving the Pod. Here's a question with the January Window about to open. If you were a new manager taking over a team and told you were able to buy a new spine for the team to build from in the next window. Who are the Keeper, Defender, Midfielder and Attacker your signing?

The position that has evolved the most for me would be goalkeeper. Cafu and Carlos were inverted fullbacks for sure decades ago, but there were no keepers like De Gea 40 years ago

I would love big Meeks as our kitman get him in 😂

David Batty was always one of my favourites, would be worth a lot of money these days given what teams pay for a quality No.6

Fantastic content as always guys! Really enjoying the podcast. Not sure if you take questions from KZread, but I wanted to ask who you thought was the better player, David Ginola or Gazza? I've recently been watching old Spurs season reviews, and both look so exciting to watch! I wish I was old enough to have seen either of them play live. All the best, Dan

another great algorithm thanks guys

Here's a question for the podcast Each season fans get quite excited over their club's new kit coming out and often there's intrigue around designs and new sponsors. Was there ever any excitement from yourself or your teammates when you had a new team kit, along with any dread at having to wear a naff kit for a season? (perhaps a garish colour, or embarrassing sponsor)

Nice bit of advertising for walkers 🤣

Why did they cut out the bit where Gary says 'But you were shit' at 5:42 about Alan's management career... It's in the apple podcast but censored out here

Walker's will be well pleased. 🤣

As a Leeds fan I'm confused by Micahs comments on Piroe. I'm not saying he's been awful, he has scored a fair number of goals, but he's rarely in our games whether he scores or doesn't. Essentially carrying a passenger because he'll grab a goal every 2 to 3 games, which I'm not disrespecting

On xG. One thing which is rarely taken into account, is, in isolation. Just one game, it's almost irrelevant. It's only really any use when you have a larger sample size, like a few months, or half the season. Also xGA (against. As in, how many you're team was expected to concede) can be important. Like a few seasons ago, Wolves were massively overachieving on their xGA, they were expected to let more goals in then they did. Which you might say "Well, that just shows how great the team is! They were expected to let in 5 goals, but only let in 1. GREAT NEWS!" But I'd say that's a case of survivorship bias.. Facing that many shots isn't sustainable, over an entire season. You will eventually crack. Action had to be taken. Though, there is one stat. Called "eT" I think. It's "expected threat". Which is stupid. It's basically how much time the opposition is in your half... Which is useless.

Question for the best episode- this is for Alan - what was it like to score a hat trick being 3-1 down against Leicester- and that free kick has to one of the most powerful shots you have ever hit

I vote for pablo zabaleta to be on the podcast but with all 3 of you, who agree, would be funny to see 😂💪

The product placement is so seamlessly blended into the podcast 😂😂😂

In my opinion wingers have adapted more than any other position they are now a forward player wheres as a winger in my day was right of a midfield be honest could you imagine someone like salah playing as a proper winger not picking on salah but he's an absolute monster of a modern day winger so just using him as a example
