Ben Foster, Mark Goldbridge and Dave Watson have a lot to unpack in this week’s Football Fill-In! Man City completed a league double over Man United in Sunday’s Manchester Derby, with Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden both scoring screamers. But Goldbridge claims Foden is stat padding!
Refereeing mistakes dominated the headlines this weekend. Liverpool stayed top of the Premier League thanks to Darwin Nunez’s 99th-minute winner but it was overshadowed by controversy around a drop-ball incident at the other end. The lads give their thoughts on that, plus the chaotic ending to Real Madrid’s 2-2 draw at Valencia in which Jude Bellingham was sent off after scoring what he thought was the winner!

38:33 The Football Fill-In Quiz
Welcome to the football film we have got Dave Watson and a very pragmatic Mark goldbridge it’s almost like he was resigned to the fact that United were going to lose yesterday and is Phil foden the best player on current form in the Premier League we also have a look
At two big refereeing mistakes at the weekend Liverpool getting a 99th minute winner and Jude Bellingham seeing red as Real Madrid get a goal chalked off in the dying seconds Paul Pogba getting a fouryear ban and finally is Ole Watkins worth 100 million quid you can watch it
Tonight on Spotify at 5:00 p.m. and tomorrow morning on YouTube at 7:30 a.m. all ready for your morning Commute all right then Lads we have to start with the big game don’t we the Manchester derby um before I get your opinions on it Mark I was going to text you guys actually yesterday before the game and say LZ will you just send me a quick video kind of prediction you know
What I mean of how you think this game is going to go um I didn’t I totally forgot um however if you would have sent them predictions through I think you would have pretty much guessed what it was going to go like right yeah I I
Would have said two-nil yeah yeah yeah I didn’t think man united scored I was going to say 3-1 all right yeah United no no I think um I think it actually ended up being what most man united fans would have accepted from where we are yeah but it’s funny that the Hope kills
You because you score the goal and then man united fans are like because it’s that football’s never that simple is it you you predict it and you go I probably take a two ner where we are at the moment but uh look I think um yeah I’m more the Fulham game was more
Disappointing because you look at the league table in Villa and Spurs and the race for fourth and that that that was a bad loss I think man city was a bit of a free hit um but having said that I think that I’m still for frustrated with the
Fact that we defended well I think all three goals were preventable and Beyond the Harland Miss didn’t really create loads of chances they dominated the ball but didn’t create loads of chances you know what this is like a calm Mark today what isn’t it it’s like he’s not angry
He’s just sort of he’s just disappointed it’s almost like he’s he’s it’s he’s accepted he’s accepted it no I think at the end of the day Man City are so much better than Man United and there’s a reality around that but I look at the
Game and I think that he set it up the right way 10 high know he’s got his critics there’s no other way you can set it up and I thought the front four were crap I thought they didn’t hold the ball up enough to to alleviate the pressure
On the goalie in the defense and actually you know what I I still I got a lot of stick last night I still stand by it this guy is not for changing I still think the referee made big calls that people might say well the 50-50 but they
Both LED to goals like it I felt it was a foul on rashford they went and scored and I thought the keeper is anywhere else on the pitch not forget red card it’s a foul all right let’s talk we’ll talk about them in a minute because I
Disagree with you on this one U but what I’m getting from you I’m I’m getting a bit of kind of what’s the word what um he’s kind of he just accepted it accepted his fate you’ve accepted your fate you and millions of Manchester United fans it seems to me that they’re
Kind of well this is just where we are now so it’s to be there’s a lot of work to be done is there there’s a lot of work to be done should we talk about those those big instances you were talking about then should we talk in
Particular W um the Edison world class t this world class tackle on the edge of the box with his foot it was a thing of beauty wasn’t it yeah look I think he got it absolutely spot on but I think any other player or the 10 Outfield
Players anywhere else on the pitch yeah he’s not really you can’t say he’s totally in control yeah and I know there’s not a rule in place that says the goalie is different but I think they do deem that kind of tackle slightly different for the goalie and he got it
Spot on he had to get it he had to get it spot on I actually thought gono for a minute with favorite I really did and I watch his leg and I think did he just see him coming yeah cuz I I I I did think he could have just nicked it and
If he nicked it he [ __ ] broke his leg that’s and that’s why it’s a foul yeah I rest my case your honor it’s a good point it’s a good point I just I think right now I think I’ve never really thought about that but I’ve watched it
50 times and every time I see it his legs are wide open yeah he’s off the ground basic he’s out of control if you saw a midfielder running do that tack he’s gone in it’s a red card whether he gets the ball or not isn’t it because
The law is are you endangering a player and are you out of control yes and yes and but I think you make a great point I think gacho I didn’t want to say it but I think pull pulls out he probably does pull out a bit because you can see as a
Foot if I move that ball my my Ed had already made the decision Edison’s already coming so if he’s going to Nick it his leg’s going to he’s got look Edison’s got to do it I’m not saying he shouldn’t do it he’s got to do it but
Again it’s that gray area of refereeing isn’t it and I think people need to learn the rules because I’m not wrong and you’re not wrong you know it never gets given but it should get given because we’re trying to take this out of the game but we’re saying and you’re
Right sort of an Unwritten rule a goalie can do that well the thing is that they’re going to be saying that the goalies don’t practice them kind of tackles and whatever but even though the modern goalie plays higher and he plays that sweeper keeper role they don’t
Normally tackle but in that one instance Edison was spot on on his decision making the tackle but the reality is he’s out of control would you do that do you think that’s just because Edison’s a ball playing goalkeeper that he’s gone with his feet because a lot of go a lot of goalkeepers
Wouldn’t be comfortable to tackle like that would they in my time as a as a as a goalie I’m sliding out and going with me hands but the problem is I’ve got scars up both sets of arms where the forward comes straight over the top and
Does me because as soon as I go to ground like that I’ve got no prot I’ve got no protection yeah I think that’s where it’s I think if you’re coming out for that with your hands I’m looking at the player that I’m coming out against
As well well if I see it gacho honestly I I could go with my hands or my foot it doesn’t really bother me I know that he’s not going to want any of that kind of coming together does he he doesn’t want it but I think if it’s a big
Bruiser of a player I’m going with my feet I’m going with my feet because they will hurt me otherwise I remember an instance which would probably be exactly the same as that in the same area of the pitch Arsenal at home to man united Ian right and smich can you remember same
Thing smich comes with his feet and right boom straight over the top obviously a different time yeah but that right went to footed didn’t he he wanted to hurt him but that’s the point I’m making if you come with your hands there bang and you and you re and
Listen we can talk about all these little instances stuff that might have gone for and might have gone against them but at the end of the day the way the game played out man city just toyed with United didn’t they it kind of for me it felt like they were just waiting
They were just waiting somebody will switch off eventually they’ll get tired and they’ll just unpick it and they’ll score some goals and that that’s the way it went yeah I mean you said it on the United understand don’t you like you know you play that game a hundred times
And restart it like you do FIFA you still get the same outcome but that’s why it’s frustrating because it’s like I don’t think man man city don’t need help and it just felt a little bit like to me that referee the rashford foul people say it’s soft but the refere had already
Given three of them and he get he’d already given three of them it’s the unwritten rule that when you get pulled back you see a lot of attackers he would just stop and go come on and the referee will go and give a foul and then they go
And score straight from it the penalty they score straight from it so man city deserved to win it but it was a bit frustrating cuz I was just like and then amra bat’s mistake at the end as well it’s every goal really kind of avid a
Bit avoidable I want to talk about the second goal W uh from a goalkeeper coach’s perspective um should Ona be saving that you think he should get his hand down quicker I I think the top top level in a massive game like that he should do better I think there’s a
Couple of points that lead up to it I think man united had accepted the fate and it would have slow death on the edge of the Box casemiro gets done basically on on a one two high he’s tired his legs have gone Harland makes a clever run
Just to take the second Center half away just to buy enough space yeah but in that moment I think it’s really tough to get your hand down sometimes but the modern way to get your left foot out and get a block because to chop and get your
Left hand down is really hard but I thought he was so low in that one andone position that he has to come up to chop and that’s then why it gets his fingers he ain’t got’s he’s not good position body position he get so low that when
You’re in that low position like that you can’t chop your leg out because your studs are so planted into the ground whereas if you’re up a bit you’re on your toes a bit more and you can kick your leg out much quicker but it’s it’s kind of goalkeeping styles but they’ll
Teach you to kind of be up a little bit higher just a little bit High I don’t think as a goalkeeper and obviously you two know more than me Anana from what I’ve seen of him this season his big weakness is low shots he can’t he can’t
Get down there’s a few going even the third to an exent K one at Chelsea he’s not good I think the third even the third one I think it’s so obvious that Highland that’s Highland’s big tal isn’t it is that open up you can’t runs around
It and curls it into that far Corner that’s big and I’m just thinking you can show you’ve got to read that a little bit more um but I don’t think either way it changes the result he I overall I thought Anan had a good game especially
First half there was a lot of crosses coming in and actually yeah it made some goodes really good it took the pressure on the corners I actually thought he played really well he looked really you’re probably looking at two examples from r as well yeah really good look at
Two of the goal is playing with the ball at the feet and he were relatively calm you know what I mean and played and obviously Edison at the other hand yeah is uh phenomenal at it I just thought for Man United they were satting there
Waiting and as soon as he had to change the back fourway Evans coming off and um then putting lindel off in and changing and chopping and changing I thought Varan actually on the day were were excellent he cleared some unbelievable balls but the amount of pressure that
City have when you’re sat deep and they keep getting the ball rotating it they always kept making them little corner runs to open a space playing behind you the legs just went in the I felt if I was Varan walking off the pitch I’d have walked into the attackers I’d have said
To Bruno rashford Anthony gacho I’d have said look we’re never not conceding two yeah if you don’t score two we’re not going to win the game the third goal shouldn’t happen amrabat makes a mistake but I think the defense have done their side of the bargain you know we’ve kept
Them down to two at the EAD as an attack you’ve got to do more and you got to get of it more help us get up the pitch that’s what they need to do um we got to give Phil foden a bit of love quickly um in the
Form that he’s in at the minute wat is he is he a guaranteed starter for England is he is he is he nailed on for for that left hand side for England well I think he’s been man City’s standout performer all season and if you’re doing
It for the biggest and best team in England and Europe then you can’t do anymore and I think he would deserve to start it’s then you Tinker him with positions does he does he replace sacka on the right hand side yesterday he switched and scored a goal from either
Side so he probably is more flexible than a sacker Bellingham is going to play at 10 for sure if we stick to 42 31 but has has Phil foden ever come out and said his favorite position by the way has he ever come out and said no this is
Exact this is where I love to play and for England and the Southgate I want to play here because I think we’re getting to the point where he’s putting in such good performances right that he has to that has to be a question now Harry Kane
Guaranteed but then I think we have to say to Phil where do you want to play like genuinely where do you want to play in that front free I think he’s spent most of his career happily stat padding in the Man City side as doesn’t care no
But my point is like it doesn’t really matter because when you play for Man City oh I’ve got right wing I’ve got silver got de bruy or should I go in the left wing whereas you’re right for England I don’t think for man city has
To say I want to play number 10 because you you move everywhere they do man city do more structured so I personally think he should probably I mean Southgate doesn’t know how to use him so I think we’re probably better off using him off the left and I would some I would
Actually say to Saka look I might want to swap this around a little bit check I’d put him on the left because if you put him at the 10 what does that do to Bellingham um I’d put him on the left and I think he needs freedom and I think
Um he’s got to start he’s he’s got to start I mean I mean the fact that he hasn’t been a regular start for England is is is incredible because there’s so much talent in that team but he’s got to start I think if that if this carries on
To the end of the season he he yeah he he’s nailed on to start and I’d like to see him on that left hand side I think if Saka is on the right Kane up top Bellingham just in behind foden on the left we’re excited AR we but you’ve got
To do what man city do and Guardiola be happy in the game get them changed over cause other fullbacks or Wing backs whatever shape we’re playing against problems and have that fluidity and confidence to change and know and trust that both players can change and interact and do the things that’s that’s
Where I think it just needs a little bit more of um what’s the word um Freedom yeah freedom freedom what a lovely word big big Gadget Big South southgate’s got to come over and go that’s right you are unbelievable okay so sort of do what you
Want work hard thank you very much wi games that’ll do yeah simple all right love that uh right let’s talk about Liverpool then um it was it was controversial let’s put it that yeah I thought Forest did really well in this game sort of held on 99th minute Darwin
Nunez winner um but all of the talk was about the minute and a half that led up to this Darwin Nunes goal um W if you were stood on the side of that pitch and you were on that knock Forest bench and that had just happened to you would you
Have been as annoyed as what they were yeah I’d have been potentially yellow maybe red carard Reed got a red card re got a red card excuse me I always used to go and talk to the referees post game on the pitch quickly try and get a heads
Up of it because the manager always asked you when you went in what’s he said and then you’d go and see him afterwards you are so annoyed Forest played a real good game yeah and to be fair both teams wanted to win it and that last 10 or 15 minutes it were like
Ping Pong you have a chance we have a chance you have football coaches managers you’d be absolutely raging but the game went that way because the three points were more important than the point for either team so it were a great watch Forest have done everything it’s a
Corner for Forest uh kellerer flattens canate really yeah and is it a head injury yes is so you got to stop the game he’s made a right ass of it where he’s done it and I think that’s where forest’s problems lie because if they would have had the ball and that’ have
Circulated it probably gone back to their goalie and done whatever the game’s virtually done that’s the problem um and I I think you’ve got every right to question it the the hard thing is to accept in football when you’re the coach manager or a player that ultimately for that last 90 seconds
Seconds whether he’s made an ass of it or not you’ve still got your job you got to reset you’ve got to reset Liverpool get a corner yeah it’s second or third phase they had two opportunities to clear the ball they didn’t mallister gets the ball on the edge of the box and
It’s an unbelievable cross but the goal really comes about because van dikes in that moment managed to pull right onto the last man and he’s such a threat the forest Defenders half a yard behind him and the the middle of the pitch they’ve pushed up thinking they’ve got Nunes
Offside but van dijk such a threat Nunes is getting played on in the middle I think the goalie for for got to be more proactive a on the cross and B in the 99th minute you just cannot watch that ball fly You’ got to go for it go for it
Give it everything you’ve got I agree with you quickly before I want to ask your opinion on it as well um but I think at that point where mallister is looking into the box and he’s about to chip it you know that he’s not going to
Be able to whip it you know he’s not going to be able to shoot because he hasn’t got his body position not in a good enough position to be a to get that much power on the ball so the only real viable option he’s got is to do a lofty
One in there it’s at that point as a goalie a real frontf footed goalkeeper you have to start nicking a few inches a few steps and go go on then if you put it in there I’m going to come either catch it I’m going to punch it either
Way I’m going to come out my team and he didn’t he stuttered he stuttered he didn’t want to take that brave step into that little Zone did he and I think if he would have done that’s an easy punch for him the middle wanted him to come
Because they crept up and got the only van DK’s positions kept him on side The Lads in the middle had pushed and pushed to give him some work in distance but he never adjusted his position from his goal line for the cross so he’s sat in a deep position they’ve pushed up hoping
That there’s a space to be dealt with and realistically D Nunes as he’s about to head of that should have been thinking I’m G to get my punch my head punched off right now that’s what he should have looked like sort of go in the first couple of minutes cuz people
Aren’t switched not in the 9th minute it was almost like I was expecting an offside because I just thought I can’t believe he’s had so much space to get that in get that and the player who doesn’t boot it before McAllister wins it as well um crazy yeah but I think the
I think the the referee and thing’s interesting I didn’t know the rule so I I was like what’s it all about and then on the evening I read even though you don’t know the rule you would have known as a man united fan if that have happened to you that that ball should
Not just be given back to the goalkeeper there oh yeah 100% and look whether we know the rule we can’t judge ourselves as as the referees I didn’t know that rule I didn’t know that when the ball is blown if it’s outside the box it goes to
A forest player I didn’t know that drop but this is not he’s not a bloody surgeon he’s a referee in in the Premier League he should know that rule he should know every single rule apparently did it in the first half he did it the other way around to Forest again Forest
It in the first half so you know they’ve got a really good um point there but what I will say is and complete fairness because there’ll be Arsenal fans and City fans going it’s not the same as having an onside goal not given and also there’s plenty I mean udson Ado’s got it
Puts a cross in the Box kellerer gets it boots it up the pitch you know there’s still a lot of time to go so I I think that it’s a bad decision but I don’t think we should start rewriting history the fact that Liverpool still could have
Gone up the other end and scored espe defended I want to ask you about Martin Mark clattenburg role at KN Forest this is crazy by the way this is unheard of um they’ve appointed Mark clattenburg basically as their he’s he will oversee any bad refereeing decisions that have
Gone against KN so he will be the that will be talking to the Premier League talking to the pjm all that kind of stuff and then leaz in back with notam Forest but he has basically become Nottingham Forest employee to do this well save the money give us 50% and on a
Monday morning we’ll tell everybody what’s going on because it’s not hard is it refereeing is not that hard there’s a rule book and you can literally look at it and go well they got that wrong because of this this and this there’s no gray area in refereeing there is with
Subjectivity and some of the stupid decisions we see every now and again where they but but but that I don’t know what that’s all about I mean I mean he was sat next to Howard Webb in the FA Cup game between Man United and Forest
And I was like I don’t but that’s the only that’s the only thing I thought is have Forest actually done really well here thought outside the box and rather than their assistant the manager or whoever’s responsibility is to make the call and start getting upset with the
Howard web the PGM and all this stuff and causing angst is it a little deflector actually they want the referees on side and they might think Forest might start and get a few more favors and actually gone wrong it’s gone wrong he sat there with our web on
Wednesday and then they get this decision on Saturday which is unbelievable but I just think they probably thought it might longer term long a bit of a long term we’re going to talk about more of the Premier League’s action in a minute and also a bit of
Real Madrid in a minute because they scored a goal that was just disallowed it was ridiculous um quickly Liverpool are they going to win the Premier League David Watson yes or no no Mark I think the man city game is massive but I tell you what games like that if they do win
It that’s what it’s all about that’s um you didn’t answer my question um I think I think the man city game next week’s massive if they win that they’ll win the league yeah you still haven’t answered my question um right it GNA get that’s why he’s a good politician is it um I
Think Liverpool going to win the league simple as that I still think Arsenal have got a good chance I think they’re just left alone true that I think Liverpool going to win the league I think they’ve just found aity might have a chance I think they might have a
Chance yeah they might have a chance uh right did you see um r at the weekend did you see this goal that I was just alluding to then a second ago um so last kick of the game literally we’re talking last kick of the game the balls out on
The wide um The Players about to cross it in and the referee blows full-time whistle the ball goes into the box they header they score disallowed game ends as a draw I’m going to come to you again wat because if that was you on the sideline how annoyed would you have been
At I’m I’m off AR you finished you just can’t quantify it look if that ball comes in the Box he cannot not allow the second reaction yeah because there’s going to be that’s we talk about all the time about not blowing up in time and people getting hurt getting injured if
You allow the phase of play to happen rightly rightly or wrongly depending on the time that’s eluded and gone or left or whatever when that ball comes in the Box you can’t blow no because there’s going to be a consequence yeah an action some it doesn’t it’s as simple as that
He has to let that phase of play play out he has to let the phase of to a conclusion whatever it will be if it gets cleared cool if it goes the back of the neet cool but you’ve got to let it play you you can’t blow without letting
The action that’s about to happen happen that’s for sure and I think he’s blowing actually when the cross is coming in just about to kick it he’s literally just about to kick the ball and you see him put his his whistle to his lips this
This is I I just don’t get how I don’t know maybe pressure maybe it’s a pressure thing or something but I don’t see how you can make that big of a mistake when you’re refereeing a real Madrid it doesn’t matter whose game it is really if you can see that he’s about
To put the ball into the box just let it play out for another 5 Seconds he’s got to blow the whistle 5 seconds before he gets the ball in that position or let the phase happen you can’t do it when he did it because it’s going to cause the
Moment that it caused and it’s an emotive game players managers if you think you’ve won a game at that point and there’s x amount of people there and you’ve not heard the whistle or what you’re going to go Bonkers aren you well Jud Bellingham got a red card um it
Looks like it could be a three- game banam as well which is just is ridiculous and you know you do feel for him and the same side you do have to try and you know temper your temper your emotions at that moment in time try and
Keep it cool try and keep it but it’s impossible I think I think in that mate I think it’s impossible it doesn’t matter what level you’re playing at yeah if you scored that goal on a Sunday morning to win a football match in whatever level don’t care what Pub
Sunday league and the ref blows at that cross oh mate someone’s getting chased off the pit there could be a punch G there it’s getting Madness that’s why we love football it’s just really poor officiated we got to talk about West Ham uh massive week for them massive week
For David Moyes as well two wins in a week beating brenford 42 and then they’re going to be Everton 3-1 piling more pressure on them but David moyes’s kind of future was in the balance well even a week ago really for these two games now two wins should be okay to the
End of the season at least shouldn’t he yeah and I think it’s just it’s about what you want as a fan isn’t it I think that football’s changed a lot probably from when we were watching it 10 20 years ago where managers weren’t you look at a league table West Ham seventh
And you go well he’s not in danger yeah but fans these days are more opinionated and I think some West Ham fans just don’t like the style of football um but I I don’t I don’t get that I don’t I don’t get it because you’re not going to
Be seventh in the league even with Moyes or or without him he’s doing a fantastic job there they’ve won a trophy they’re still in the Europa League and you know beating brenford and Everton is not an easy thing to do and and he’s gone and got two results there I think that the
Mo’s problem is that he probably just doesn’t fit what West Ham fans want style of football whenever they lose a couple of games they’ll be back on him again and but for what the job he’s doing at West Ham has been incredible that that’s the bottom line results wise
The job he’s doing is incredible and obviously um since petta has come back in the team I think his stats are incredible aren’t they two wins coincide with him coming back in um they’ve won that won their last five in a row when he’s started so he’s he’s an influential
Player and when you’re a club like West Ham you know we talk about United missing people like Martinez and and hland well it’s even more important for teams like West Ham when you’re losing a player like that yeah the if a star player is down for a team like West Ham
It’s a massive problem isn’t it I was on talk sport last week W and um a lot of fans were ringing in about West Ham and I said listen I think you just got to be careful what you wish for really um you know that’re they’re seventh in the
League they’re winning games not necessarily the sort of prettiest of football but they’re winning games um so I think you’ve just got to be a little bit tread carefully basically West Ham fans were fuming absolutely fuming ringing in saying no it’s about style of footb it’s the way that we play it’s
Miserable to watch theyve just scored seven goals in the last two games yeah I’m I’m with you look David Moyes is tried and tested as a premier league manager a very very very good Premier League manager and you have to be careful the modern way and the style and
How you go about your business I think foreign coaches have come in Des zeria at Brighton have showed you a way to play and and we could go on with the list David Moyes does it a certain way what they are doing now is like winning the Premier League to be perfectly
Honest with you but you can accept that West Ham fans will have a gripe about it look arol had the performance of his life at Everton on Saturday uh I had him on my bench in FBI by the way obviously very good well well done no it means he
Don’t get no points you don’t play the game you don’t obvious he got he got I think he got 11 Point 11 points Jamie 13 points the reality is that’s why the West Ham fans are upset not that they’ve not got a great goalie the fact that
Ever dominated the game their goal he had to make nine or 10 saves including a penalty save Everton dice Shield not believe that they didn’t get a point never mind win the game and then West Ham have gone and won the game such the goal of his life
Beautiful chest outside right foot but the reality is that’s what West Ham are but they’re still like winning the Premier League with what they’re doing now ultimately if he’d have gone and been a deser type manager and been expansive and Everton had press a life
Out of them and they’ have got beat 2-1 what do the West Ham fans want do they want us have played really well at Everton but we’ve got beat or did they want the goalie to Pro perform like he did that’s the football to play and in
The end they come out 3-1 winners because David Moyes has instilled something in him the recruitment’s been right for how he wants to play what they want to play characters personality digging in every week and they’ve had two unbelievable wins and now they’re in seventh which is like winning it for him
Yeah if you if you were a West Ham fan would you be happy with David moice no I wouldn’t because I think when you look at like you say desery uh Fulham there are some mid-table teams that play much better football than West Ham but the the reality is it’s always about winning
And it’s always about competing um and the grass ain’t always greener I I I agree with West Ham fans I you know moy’s ad him at United at Everton he’s not a great it’s not great to watch and I’m sure Everton did have more of the chances but he can’t argue with results
Yeah and um that’s the thing isn’t it um and look deserie has been turned over by luten 4-0 he got turned over by Fulham was it 3-0 at the weekend 3 n yeah so you know the grass ain’t always greener um I want to talk about Aston Villa Lads
Fourth in the league um I genuinely feel they go a little bit under the radar I do I feel they go a little bit under the radar they’re not really getting the respect that they deserve um a fantastic 3-2 win away away against luta which is
A double tough place to go olle Watkins another two goals um do you know Ole Watkins right I think if somebody was to try and buy Ole Watkins he’s gon to co I think he’ll cost the best part of 70 80 million quid yeah but I don’t think anybody would want to buy
OE Watkins is that fair statement yeah I mean he’s well yeah more they sish for they yeah they Villa won’t sell him for any less than 100 and but you’re right I don’t think anyone would pay it but I think if you put him up front I’ve said
It two months ago if you put when arsenal were looking for a striker so you put Ole Watkins up front for Arsenal yeah he’s going to score you 10 goals between now and the end of the season in the Premier League that probably win you the league yeah that player like that is
Absolutely invaluable and he he probably doesn’t get the the credit he deserves I mean he’s in my Fantasy Premier League team captain this every go every game but we worry for England normally with hurri kanane missing but you put Watkins in the England team and I’ve seen him
Fortunately off live but you watch the game at the weekend he adds would add a different dimension to the England team the runs the dynamic of it and we’re we’re we’re obsessed with ar Kane because Harry Kane is a worldclass player yeah but having him
Behind him as as an option and to change the dynamic of a game with the potential Firepower that England have got is he worth 100 million quid probably nobody’s ever worth 100 million quid is he a 60 to 70 million pound player yes do I think other teams who are chasing that
Top four will be looking at him now I think they’ll want him to do it again and again and again but this is his second season where he’s hitting the ground and doing doing a fantastic job and I think the bigger teams will be certainly thinking he would add a
Different dimension to our game sure 16 goals for the season now only two behind Erland Highland it’s you know I mean it’s double impressive and I just think I think if he was a Spanish or Brazilian I think there’ll be clubs lining up to
Buy him what is he about 28 as well a he but also I think um on the Billa thing again I just think when we’re talking about manager of the year and stuff I mean Emory is just incredible we United beat them um and look it was a you know
Villa probably should have got a draw at least but they’ve responded to that I think they’ve won their last three in a row and they’ve not been easy games I think they went to Fulham and won yeah they’ve beaten Luton which isn’t a which is a tough game and and obviously they
Had a couple of Lo losses hadn’t they they lost in the cup at Villa Park and people were like all the Emory SP come off the rails and and and it hasn’t that Midfield I mean they lost the midfielder for an injury Kamar Jacob Ramsey’s come in they’ve got tians they’ve got mcin
They’ve got Douglas Lise they’re um fantastic team I I think they’ll get I think I think they’ll finish fourth I think they’ll finish above Spurs for for all you talk about in that game though the first four goals are all set plays yeah so you know like we talk about
These setpiece Specialists and all that the game at two a piece with four set piece goals yeah and then to be fair Lon think they they’ve done the bits really and probably think they’re going to go on and win it and then they just the right back switches off and dor gets in
It’s a fantastic goal isn’t it but uh going back to Watkins I think most teams Tech him I mean obviously Villa in the top four anyway so Villa now have’ got the resources that they don’t need to S keeping him and Martinez will be very to statements and if they can keep
Louise in the middle of the field that they’ve got like the central areas tied down and I don’t think Villa need to sell anymore yeah love that um okay we’re gonna talk about Paul POG in a minute just been given a foury year ban I want to talk about Chelsea quickly
Though because another disappointing result for them two all against brenford um leaves them 11th in the league is this true singing for Jose things are getting really bad this is true this is this is what O’s team for the season I know well it could be worse they could
Have been singing for me so these are your dark horses for the season wat poo a tough time at a minute so much so that in the game on Saturday uh Chelsea fans were heard singing um basically we want Jose Mourinho back um is that gonna happen well it’s it’s
Clueless because there’s three things about Jose one he don’t like youth players and they’re full of youth players two he would want to buy three or four players that are ready to go and they haven’t got the money for it and three he’s a busted flush he’s finished
He’s he’s he’s finished he he he cannot what are they singing for what are what are you singing for good times that’s they’re singing singing because they want to win a trophy and yes they were my how much room is there in the DeLorean because they need Michael J fox
To take him back 10 years [ __ ] hell Jose Mourinho I love Jose his box office but he he ain’t coming into the Premier League he’s he’s been there with the United and and Spurs he’s he’s he’s he’s going to make him get tight compact they’ll hate it and then they’ll throw
Him under the bus again they’ve already had might as well get Mo in there yeah you know what that’s what they they would need somebody like that genuinely but I I don’t think I don’t think it who you put in charge of CH at the minute
They’ got too many kids too many young players too many too too many long contracts and it’s just not going to work well the the the the the Chelsea model has obviously now broken failed the the yeah the the the manager is in big trouble whoever he is in there
Because of all the things you’ve just said and it’s difficult for anybody I thought he would have got more of a tune out of it I I actually feel really bad for him cuz I actually think he’s a good manager and he’s going to be like another one at Chelsea reputation’s
Going to be tarnished a little bit but for all the quality that they have and what he had at Tottenham he’s still not won a trophy in England yeah with losing last weekend and they did everything butwin didn’t they uh it was a fantastic point for brenford either way they could
Have actually nicked it at the end reg on I think what a goal bicycle lovely Wiz wi wi what but I think it’s another one we should it should be a regular section I think if you put oi Watkins up front for Chelsea yeah they’d be a lot
Better without not they don’t have a stri Jackson had the chance didn’t he he gets R Fen and the the Finish is he’s not a natural good finisher though is he OE Watkins he that’s what he thrives on those little those ey chance he can sniff them all out all right Lads let’s
Talk about Paul Pogba um he’s just been handed a fouryear ban from the game of football um you know this is some sort of a fall from grace really I think what we’re talking six seven years ago uh wins the World Cup um on the top of his game
And by the time this band finishes they’ll be 35 years old now don’t get me wrong I know he’s saying he’s innocent his team are going to repeal it um but I just wanted to talk about how kind of anti-doping works in football and how um
Basically how hard it is to be found guilty okay so um random drug testing happens in football all the time you could get done you could not get actually tested randomly per season or you could get randomly tested five or six times it’s as simple as that you get
Done at the beginning of the Season you get done halfway through the season by your clubs um and you are told what you can and can’t take and if there’s any supplements anything that you are looking to take away from the football club away from that environment then you
Need to have it double checked by somebody within the football club don’t you it’s as simple as that it needs to all be informed by sport like tested all that kind of stuff so to actually get a positive sample it’s um it’s a big deal and it’s not the sort of thing that
Happens in football at all as it work no it’s it doesn’t happen lightly look football clubs are really on top of all the players with this because you can’t even miss a drug test so if you phoned in this morning and you’re not coming in yes somebody goes upstairs and tells
The manager but the next call is to the drug test he’s not here today so if you’re coming to test he’s not here and then you I will have to save my whereabouts so I have to give him a two-hour window so if I say if I called
In sick then today I need to te I have to text myself personally this phone number it’s the anti-doping whatever at the fa I have to text this number and say Ben Foster whatever football club um not in training today will be at my home address which is this between the hours
Of 9 and 11 this morning and that’s your two-hour window once at 11:00 passes you’re free to go about your day whatever you want but you have to do that don’t you yeah there’s a window at any part of the day where they can come whole more away and if you’re not
There it’s a strike yeah it’s a strike yeah happened Rio if they if you say where you are either at the training ground or at your home and they come at that time when you’ve said you’re going to be in this place that’s a strike and it’s that
Serious now so he he’s in big trouble this happen all year round as well by the way this can happen in the summer do you know so so when the season finishes and say you go away on holiday to I don’t know IA for two weeks yeah you can
Feasibly get tested anytime there somebody can randomly come and knock on your hotel room and and it happens yeah and it happens it has happened that’s how how stringent they’re getting on this now I just think there’s so much put in place now from football clubs to
Make you so aware of what you can and can’t take to be found guilty the first time and then have his b sample tested and that be found guilty as well there’s obviously something in there it’s as simple as that and I think with Pogba as well um look fantastic talent and I
Think he you know he has done things in the game like he’s won the World Cup he did won titles at Juventus and he won things at United but as a talent I don’t think he for whatever reason ever really hit the heights that he could have done
Because I think he could have gone down as you know maybe not as good as a zidan but you know he did have a talent but I mean I think a lot of people’s reaction to it is that look if he’s done the crime he’s going to pay the time but I
Think he was done anyway you know the injuries were like you know stacking up and I was quite surprised when it broke on Friday because I was like I’d almost thought he’d retired because it’s going to be interesed to see what it’s actually for because the thing with
Football is it’s not NE you don’t really need to be a drugs cheat do you INB it’s not going to give you that much benefit because it’s such a skill-based game the drugs don’t really they’re not going to benefit you so much you know compare that to something like a cycling and
Like something where there’s real power re that’s the main part of the sport make you play like Phil foden is it exactly exactly that so it’s going to be interesting you know hopefully it’s it’s something where it’s a massive mistake and he can get found not guilty or but

Missed Watson, glad to have him back!
Oh mate someone's getting chased off the pitch hahaaaa had to pause to post this comment. Brilliant!
Can someone confirm if Watto is a watch guy??? The couple I’ve noticed him wear look like they may be HEAT
From what I've heard last time they asked Foden where he likes to play the most he's said CAM.
Goldbridge calling Mourinho washed when he supports Ten Haag is funny 😅
Forest got booked twice for time wasting in extra time they wasn't playing for 3 points😆 and the game went 1min 50 sec after the drop ball before the goal was scored. The ball also went out of play and various phases of play.
The irony from mark saying people need to learn the rules while misquoting the rules is hilarious to me.
Don't doubt me hahaa Awesome quiz twist and brilliant podcast lads!!
Thank goodness that Liverpool Jersey is gone
Come on Ben
I’ve seen Casemiro get red cards for that Ederson tackle. I think Ben is just always going to be biased for keepers
Is ollie watkins worth 100 ? NO his worth more . If a man city can in with 100 mill I garuntte villa say no and ask for more
what a quiz absolutely hilarious 🤣
What if the tackle was the other way around! Would people be saying it should be a garnacho red
And man u fans crying about the refs is hilarious. Both games v villa Bruno should have sen reds in both and wan bisaka should have sen red in the 2nd game but yet man u fans didn't moan at the refs it's just bias . They have been kept safe from the refs for 20 years now all the prem could see it but now there not a big team and refs ent on there side they just moan about it welcome to the other 14 . This is how it is when you ent a big 6 club
“We’re trying to take this out of the game”, what, tackling? It’s a contact sport, Ederson makes a perfect sliding tackle and makes minimal contact so how on earth is it a foul and/or card? The game is being refereed based on hypotheticals and it’s killing it.
A 10 doesn’t work for England because of how Kane plays, he drops deep and ends up on the toes of the 10 / playmakers behind him.
such a weird thing the english media is latching onto the tierney dropped ball thing, it happend to both teams in the same game, call it even and call it a day
Problem with ederson tackle is he got the ball. Had the tackle was outside the box it would have been given a foul. But in that Instance A foul means PK and it was too soft to give a PK.
Foster loves a good spread.
Great show – love the QUIZ !!!
I hope Mark doesn't get his way so that every challenge that puts a player at risk is now a foul. What a nonsense opinion. Should we ban slide tackles next?
Madrid scored an offside goal that game but let's not say anything about it yeah. The most corrupt institution in football history
W ajax kit ❤
Mark saying that refereeing is easy and that there are no grey areas is shameful, if he had ever have picked up the IFAB rulebook he would have realized that most things are a grey area at the referees discretion and that a lot of it is just considerations for the referee for them to come to a decision. Every time he is on he moans about referees when in reality he does not understand the Laws of the Game that well.
Please start selling those football fill in mugs please Ben ! They are class and would love a bit of merch
The ref did exactly the same thing to Valencia in the first half, so at least he was consistent
Goldbridge completely wrong but he’s a united fan so I dont blame him. The ref actually did a good job and he should be more worried about rashford diving instead of trying to make a play
Moaning about good tackles and dives that should never be pens isn’t helping the game mark. Need to put your bias aside for things like that
Game tonight bayern player did same as walker did to rashford was free kick
ETH My Manager
Bloody love Watto, his regular takes can be a bit hit and miss, but he adds such brilliant insight into goalkeeping – especially the intricacies, context, and in-game decisions are refreshing to hear from a punter like myself who knows nothing about goalkeeping
Top class boys!
2 points from this video. Fist I guessed it was wright, Schmichel as soon as Watto said it reminds me. second. Do you remember Clive Thomas blowing the final whistle in the world cup Brazil, Sweden I think it was, after the corner was taken but before it was headed in.
I always wondered why keepers try to get down with their hands to save a ball they could easy blast out of the stadium saving it with a foot, especially so close, what happened to keepers saving with both feet and hands, you physically can't get down that fast whereas you stick a boot out it's going into row Zed 😊
"…even if you don't know the rules…"
-Ben Foster
Was fully expecting Goldbridge to go into a Beavo-like "big up" response.
400 million so funny
23:16 I can’t belive how bad Everton are
Mark is insufferable! He has a weird crush on Liverpool & Arsenal but especially Liverpool!!
Horrible character who DESPIIIIIIIIIIIICES City.
Goldbridge makes me not be able to watch this. Shame.
Was Jamie too hungover to be on camera?
