I know you want to be here. You want to be standing here in your undies. I don't have you in my undies. In case catalogue's. For my undies. Commando Baz. No, not Commando Baz. That's the new action figure for Christmas, Commando Baz. Comes with Kung Fu Chop. And little... Actually, you've got the kind of action man here. Yeah. He was boss that little... Oh, man. That little thing in the eyes. I got one. What? I should add. A show, Man City Away. Yeah. Tough game. Yeah. But, you know, we've been that good against Newcastle and Wofford and don't they? Full of confidence this week. Flying into the weekend. Into the weekend. That's it. Just sliding into that. Etihad. Full of confidence. Really should have a couple of things. They hear that wouldn't have gone down well. Yeah, that's it. Oh, listen. By far the most difficult away game that you face in the season. Is it though? No, I'm feeling it. But, you know, to be fair, my D's are the best team on the planet. How do you know? If the planet was just England. The best team. The summary is... They're the best team in England by quite a stretch, I would say. Liverpool are second best team, but it's shitty for me, by far, the best side. So it's going to be a massive, massive, massive for us. But the flip side is they are missing up to... Guardiola Rechens, up to half a dozen players for the weekend. Whether that makes much difference or don't know. But they're going to be missing players. People like Kevin De Bruyne are doing his obviously fabulous footballer, his mission. And the last time he played, I thought he was going to be fantastic over the last few weeks of the season. So that's obviously a big positive for us. But, you know, it's still a big, big ask. Yeah, I mean, we know they got beat last week. So, obviously, who's going to face the backlash? Yay! Us! It was mad last week, wasn't it? Because the first half, they tried to walk the ball in the net, it had just been a bit more ruthless. They could have been two or three up before Chelsea scored. Once Chelsea scored, they thought they were brilliant. This is the thing about Man City, though. I know the Brains, and they do play brilliant football. But I do think that back had hit them long time. I'm going to say long time, I mean, title race. Because when I've watched them, there's been a lot of games where they do that. And yeah, normally it all works out well, but you're looking at a Premier League where it's going to come down to maybe two or three games. But don't you think Liverpool do that as well? Like against us, we could have been... No, I'm not going to give them any... They just don't concede. No, but they don't concede, not because you don't get the answers against them, because people just have to take it. No, no, they just don't concede. People haven't taken it. No, no, but in reference to... I just think the weights then can't have seen you play like the Liverpoolers do. But I do think that most... I do think that majority of the time, City are going to beat you comfortably. But I do think that that just leaves them open. That if you can take your chances against them, it's not out of the realm that we could possibly beat them. I'm not saying we will, and we'd have to be a lot more clinical than we have. I just mean that. I do find that because they are a team that just likes to try and walk the ball in. You get a chance. That you get a chance. And obviously we'd record this before the last Champions League game as well, and who knows, they might pick up the ball. But they're already qualified, haven't they? Yeah, but he still said he's going out. But they're going to rest loads, aren't they? Well, they're going to try to, because he's got six out. But I mean, the thing about it is, I do think they're going to look to bounce back. I think, you know, Gaddiola's going to try and... I'm sure that's the next thing he's going to instill in them. I'd seen it against Wofford when they were playing Wofford and they were 2-0. They were absolutely cruising and then Wofford got a goal and they looked rocky towards the end. He was very angry with that and, you know, that should be the game we've got to sum up. And I do find that the man's that he plays, it must be such an enjoyable team to play in that sometimes they do forget that the game is there just to be won. It doesn't matter how you play. Play all that great football, but get the game won almost, you know, and then start digging about if you want to. And ask them if you should do this when they were at the pump and then coming out of it, he still was too many passes and he'd leave chance to... I've seen us. They were a few, I've seen us. They were under my this when we'd be 1-0 up and think it was all sand. And I remember going to the first game of the season in this second season when we went to Leicester and we were 2-1 up and everyone was just like, yeah, yeah, and then they scored and it was like, did you forget that we were only with the win? Maybe done it the other night, yeah. People 1-0 up in that first half and it was almost like, the way that didn't come off then that little flick went really, I'm sure there's a shot, you know, and things like that and then attained. But I mean, the last time City lost 2 consecutive games was December 2016, they lost to Chelsea in Leicester in the league show. You know, it's coming up, it's 2 years since it happened, so it could happen again. But like we've said, it's going to take a monumental effort. I mean, Everton, some of the stats, City have won just 2 of the last 7 against Everton. And I've only kept one clean sheet in that time and that was that 0-0 the week before or after the league cup. I don't remember which way it went. When the beaters on the semi, we drew 0-0 the week before, it might have been 3-0, which was brilliant. You know, we've generally got a decent record up the Etihad. We've gone there the last 2 years and got 1-1 draws. Straight 3 years on the 1-0. Yeah, we've gone there the last 2 years. There's no general, I don't think Everton fans have this. There's no fear factor. We don't go there as fans worried at all, whatever it will be, but we don't go there fearing it where we've gone into it. And it's weird that mentality, where the mentality comes from because we've got a good record there, so no fears going there. And that's the mad thing about this mentality thing we have, we're going to say in grounds is, it doesn't matter how well they played, it's just the fear of the fear. We're going to the Etihad where you should be like, oh, we're going to get destroyed. I remember going there last season, everyone was like, buoyed in confidence second game this season. We'd just about beaten Stoke in the first game, but everyone was like, we'll get something tonight. We'll get something tonight. Everyone was dead positive about it. You know, and there was no like, ah, these are batterers. Everyone was like, no, we'll get something tonight. I'm confident, I feel confident. And yeah, we've got, we've got a better side now, but we've had for a while, haven't we? Have you looked at the players? But in general, I don't, I still, but that's the point. I don't think, like, we're sitting here going, oh, it's going to be horrendous Saturday. Everyone's just sitting here going. If both teams play at the top level, she's the only, because they're the best team around, it's as simple as that. But that doesn't always happen. We've just seen it ourselves. They'll look at it and go, these are the, these are the danger of the side, but we'll beat them. We're at home, we've won nine on the run at home. Something like that. They'll be looking and go, we'll beat these. The same as we were doing before Newcastle and Wofford, and then games turned out that Newcastle had just been beating three-nil at home by West Ham, and they come to Goddison. And after the first half, they had a comfortable second half. Now, I'm not putting us on a level with City, but what I'm saying is, it's not always just straight forward. So for them, they might be looking and going, I will beat Evan on Saturday, we'll get back to winning ways. But Evan, I've got players, if it clicks, you could really hate City. And that's what we have to hope. When you write it, because of our record, I mean, it's there, the Premier League record. Can't read his own writing. Yeah, because it's with the thingy. It's no team. Ocean Liverpool, it is. I've got the best away records at the Etihad in the Premier League there. So everyone else, think of all the other teams, like you beat it in Chelsea all the time. And it's Evan in Liverpool, I've got the best away records there. City, the last game they lost against them on top six side was Evan when we beat them 4-0. So when you look at it like that, while the Ola's only beat us once out of four attempts, you start looking at them and going, you know what, some of these stats are probably playing to their mind as well. These all, we get a record, and you go, oh no, we never beat these in yet, or. And other teams come and go, we never get a result there. You know what our record's like today. City fans know that, they always know, or this. Because we're flipping on the table. This is the early kickoff Saturday, which also can produce matters. Liverpool and Man United don't play till Sunday. Man City will be thinking, right, we can win this game, we go back to the top of the league, and then Liverpool playing United, who knows, Marino, Michael Daydon't go for a point, and that leaves them back at the two. But that brings it on pressure, because they'll be thinking, well, we drop points today, and then Liverpool beat United, which they should. Then suddenly the gap's opened. Four points then, isn't it? So that flips the pressure on Man City. And that's the only way Evan should be thinking about it. The pressure's all on them to win. Of course it is. It's not on us to win. We've said this before, we've got three, four months into a new managerial era, with new players, we're still learning. He's still learning about his players. This is a really, really tough game, right? But you're absolutely right. This, for some reason, this is one of the best teams you've ever seen in the Premier League, right? And I sat there going, we haven't got a chance. I'm not, I'm thinking, you know what? If they haven't off, they weakled win. And it's mad because all the times we go to Anfield and Liverpool have been nowhere near as good, you like. But it's the fear. It's the fear Dechlenberg have won the greatest games of it. I've seen Tim Howard have an equally great game. I've seen the missed two penalties against this. You know, seeing all kinds at the end of the day. It's born out of the fact that Moise used to go there hated them because of what he did with them. We beat them, every year. Virtually. Oh, we'd have had a really great echo there, didn't we? So you look at it and go for a Tim Cale. Well, that was here, isn't it? So Saturday, you just look and go, all right, well. It's almost, I've never liked saying this because I think we're better than that now, but it's almost like a free game, if you like. Just because they're expected to beat us. We've, our forms dropped a little bit the last couple of games. So that, the pressure is all on them, you're right. Go there, it's early kick-off. Sometimes they're early kick-off, produced results you don't expect because it's a bit early, you know, whatever. The atmosphere is a little bit. Yeah, it's a bit, it's not perfect. No one's quite up yet. No, and they're, you know, they are a top, top side. They're a wonderful team. Oh, yeah, full of it. And they're the great teams are watching. If you don't like watching them, then shit. Football's probably not for you. I think what we need to do, though, is obviously, we need to go out there like we have done, like we did at Anfield, like we did at Stanford Bridge, where as we engage them, and then there'll be times where we'll have to, we'll have to get in our shape and we'll probably go into that sort of 4-4-2 shape that we go into. The two banks are 4 and with Charleston and Guilfrey Sigurdsson waiting in the centre backs to make sure that they don't have too much of the ball. And we'll have to do that, but we've done that already in games with success. You know, going, you know, particularly our last two away games against Chelsea and Liverpool, which Chelsea, we've got a good point at, you know, and Liverpool, we should have had the point at, you know, we were for an error in the last, with the last kick of the game, it cost us a point. No, no, Eddons. So, I believe we're ready this morning. So we've done that quite defensive shape and everything else, but we also carried a threat in both of them games. We'll carry a threat in this one. They, it might weigh 4 or sure against us. Like I said, these are by far for me the best team in the country. You've got the best players. Do you envisage any changes? Three at the back, maybe? I don't know. And who's who? Bernard. Because it'd have to be Coleman. He wouldn't lose, Coleman. But he'd walk off to the right as a wing back. He probably should do, but he won't. I just think he could go three fans, not saying he wouldn't play, three-five to you because he may well do, and that may well actually help Seamus. If he's got someone else behind him, he doesn't have to defend as much. And like I said, Seamus probably plays a little bit better away because he has less of the ball. If he plays a three-five-two then, you're almost, what I hope he does then is I hope he puts, well-cut right along side of it to Yarlison and says, right, we're going to run you. We've got two lads who are quick and we're going to play balls through you. Guilfeasig it's an old goal, mate. Get them in, spin them, get them into the channels. But is that changing too much the way we play? Well, some people would say, would it be a bad thing to just change things up a little bit? I don't know. I honestly don't know. But then will be Saturday morning at four o'clock and Saturday going, why did he play three at the back? Or are we giving him the trust and going, you know what? He's the side of that. Because I do. If he come out and went to play in three-five-two, I've got no buddies. I've got no problem with anything he does. I'm going to see Elf at four o'clock, so. Oh yeah? Yeah. In the Philonner. In the Walton. So, yeah. You're going to see Elf at four? Yeah. Okay. So. Isn't there on, telly on Sunday as well? Yeah, Sunday as well. And I've got to leave you there. Well, good. Well, I hope you sat there watching Elf, buzzing your tits off, because Yarlison's got another two goals and we beat them, so you want. Yeah. But you never know. I mean, look at the last nine home wins. They've won nine on the spin. They've scored 33 and conceded six. So. I don't believe you. You know, matter what you believe. I just think you're making these stats up. Where would you have got these kind of stats? You get these stats from the one footballer. I've got them from a buddy. You've got the one footballer, Elf! And stats them. Elf! And, yeah. Raheem Staling's been in football. Well, Raheem, there's some Raheem Staling's obviously. He's thick this week. Again. He's been in the forefront of everything this week. He's also won the Premier League play of the month this week. Yeah. But obviously he... I mean, no, I mean, this isn't... It'd be easy to say, oh, he's had a bad week. I don't think he has had a bad week. He hasn't had a bad week. He's just... Again, he's just... The papers like to bring. No, but in fact, I don't think he's had a bad week. I think he's had an empowering week. Hmm. I think he is. Well, he's fully, yeah. He's finally... Well, not too. Well, yeah. I mean, personally, not professionally, by the end of the week. But, you've got to be very careful. He meant empowering. I think he's had a very empowering week. I hope he's changing people's opinions. I think he's come out. He's come out, and he's made his points very eloquently. And things like that. And, yeah. Dead eloquently, and things like that. Um... Ha, ha, ha! It's like, listen, I said this. I've said this in the summer, and I've said it on Twitter, and I've said it in conversations with people. He gets ridiculous amounts of stuff. You've just made out, like, summer and Twitter are almost, like, similar things to each other. Well, they are. You've just got... I've said it in the summer, and I've said it on Twitter as well. Yeah, because... Like, they were somehow... When they're together, in the summer, everyone's nice with the floor. I know, but you just said it like they were too. In the winter. There's no place for Twitter in the winter, because everyone's pissed off. Do you want it to be all beneficial in the winter? No, no, because people are angry, and then it's very easy to argue. People are always angry. I know. And Twitter's on its way out for me. But, as I was saying, I think you get a rough time. I like Stirling, I think. I wanted them to do even better than the World Cup, than he did. People were waiting for him to fall. He just goes straight to him all the time to pull him down and to have a go at him, and he's a brilliant footballer. I mean, look at the stats there. The last 26 goals for the Etihad, and that's 21 games. He's got 17 goals, nine assists. He's absolutely brilliant. But, why can't you like him? He's f*****d, if I feel that for another month. But, but, but, but, yeah. He still runs like Velma from Scooby-Doo. He runs like a toddler. You see the toddler with the little... That's what he runs like Velma. But, I don't think I'm out of line, saying... I don't mind if he runs like that. I wish Jen Towson ran like Velma, and be as quick as Stirling. He is a very, very good man. He's rad, I think. Oh, he's brilliant. I think he's brilliant. I mean, look, when you look at those stats, last time he lost the top six, was us, since then, he's won 139 out of 153 points. I was going into this, they're confident, and they're like me. Oh, yeah, they are. Yeah, without Richie Arleson, Everton would be nine points worse off without his goals, no player. That, I suppose, would make me feel better. No, I'm saying no player has been more directly involved in winning games for 30. Once again, that's supposed to make me feel better. Yeah, because he doesn't actually make me feel better. Because on Saturday, he's got eight goals. On Saturday, he's going to get up to 10, 12. He might get four, who knows. But, you know, it is what it is. It's a tough game, but like we said before, and I think it's because of the manager as well, this, is that we've seen how we've played at Arsenal, okay, the result wasn't great, but the performance was good. We played well at, played okay at Old Trafford, lost to the Dodgy Pen. We played well at Chelsea, got a point. We played well at Anfield, lost the game, but we, so on the four games here at the top side, we've expressed ourselves well at one time, you would expect or hope that we'd take our chances. So it's four nil to the city now? Seven. Well, you don't know. I mean, what I'd like to see us do is actually score a goal, that, you know, the only goal we scored in those four games was guilty. To be fair, it was a significant penalty though, which is like rocking us into the corner. Which is like rocking us. It is. I wouldn't say any more because that Twitter account might come after us. But rocking us? No, I think you're allowed to mention rocking us as the stats one. Oh, him? Yeah. Well, he'll make you follow him, then unfollow him apparently. That's what he does. I have no idea. I don't. I don't check who follows me, I just say. But his penalty that day was exactly what he should have always been, taking his pens right in the corner, but I'd like to see us score a gold mountain play in one of these games. So that's another little thing because at the minute, our play, our football's been excellent at those places without just being excellent. Yeah, and that's the thing. You want to be positive and everything, but at some point, you've got to be like, I don't want to be the hard-lock story anymore. I want to actually go to these. And this is probably the worst one for it because they're the best team. But you've got to get to a point where you're like, it's all well and good going when we play there, go well there, play there and have this sad story. At some point, you've got to go and beat one of these teams. Because you've got to, I think you've got to score. You've got to win a game. You've normally got to score. You're doing it on your own. It's facts. Well, like I've said, mate, I went to the only Premier League game we're able to shot on target. And we still lost the game. So Manchester United are all tough. So technically, they didn't score, they watched and scored for them. The only game we're able to shot on target in it, and we lost one of them. But how Everton is that? And Kevin Campbell missed an absolute shift. I don't remember. Yeah, I doubt. But, yeah. So we'll see. But like I said, they're a fantastic side. But they do, you know, it'll be a good open game. They do give you opportunities. I think that's what's important. I think because of the way they play, they're just brilliant at that kind. So it is, we always say, the only risk and reward, isn't it? But they're risk and reward at the very top level. The capable of beating the best teams, 89-0, but they're also on and off day. You just never know. And we'll see. Now, Leon and Watson against Leon in the other weekend. Leon cut through them quite easily. At times. The French hit man. Yeah. Yeah. They had just a game behind closed doors, but you could see. Natalie Portman, isn't it? The city was Natalie Portman, isn't it? I don't think she played, to be honest. She had a groin strain. Yeah, she had a groin strain. He stretched, warmed her up, pulled in the warm-up. Okay, fair enough. Spent most of the time in the treatment room with... Show her up. Kind of like that. Just stop talking. You're the one bringing Portman into it. It's got like a big spade in your hand and you just couldn't be digging. I'm not digging, innit? I'm digging your seat. Full bucket of tea there. Anyway, let's wrap this up. Yeah. 3-0. I don't know. 3-0, I'm not saying which way. 3-0, everton. Charleston. Hatterch. Wands of penalty. Daddy Dinks. With his zaha runny, daddy... Zaza. Zaza. Zaza. Penenches it. Penenches it. And this is just knocked him out. See it all day. He probably can't see it all day. I'm visualising it now. I'm visualising the more I visualise it, the more it's going to come to. Well, that's how visualisation works. That's why I brought her up. Quantum physics, though. It's definitely not quantum physics. Quantum physics. Isn't that when the fellow went back in time and just kept on... That's quantum leap. That's quantum jumping, mate. That's quantum leap. That's called quantum jumping. Well, it might be, but that's what the TV... That was the TV. That was the TV. The problem was called... Do you ever remember the last episode? What happened? No. Why? I can't remember. You can't remember the last episode. You never actually watched it, did you? Just pretending you watched it. So all the bigger boys would be nice to you. You should be on BBC too, mate. You should have watched it. I just didn't watch it. And you can't remember the last one, right? No, because I probably didn't watch every one of them religiously. You wouldn't have watched it without seeing religiously as a good point, because then the last one, he meets God. Yeah, he did meet God. You didn't know that, though! You didn't know that. You never even watched it. You just wanted to seem cool. Anyway, let us know your thoughts. Once and it wasn't cool. It was cool. It was cool. It wasn't cool. It was cool. Might have been fitting your screw. You weren't even in school and it was on. You've been waiting for about 15 years. I will do you. What? I will do you. Light. Light is massively... Yeah.
