hello and welcome to the squeaky bum

Time Podcast presented exclusively on
0:06
the chop Sports channel of the premiere
0:09
streaming Network we record we're
0:11
recording this on Thursday January 26th
0:14
I am your host Laurent core teens in
0:18
this episode we're gonna preview the
0:21
whole FA Cup fourth round and find out
0:23
whether people are into heavyweight
0:26
clashes or David vs Goliath
0:29
but first we will start with the Great
0:34
and Powerful
0:35
Arsenal verse Manchester City
0:40
wow so this game's a big deal this is
0:44
the first time both clubs are meeting
0:46
each other this season very odd for this
0:49
time of year very strange but uh because
0:53
of the Queen the the death of the queen
0:55
and because of where both teams have
0:58
been we now have the first view of
1:02
Arsenal versus Manchester
1:04
City
1:05
this is a big game
1:08
um while it's the FA Cup and it's not
1:10
the league it will be a marker for both
1:13
teams to see where they are we've seen
1:16
in the last couple weeks Pep Guardiola
1:18
very concerned about where City are
1:22
emotionally mentally whether they're up
1:25
for the fight with Arsenal and on
1:27
Arsenal's side they've come across every
1:30
hurdle they can renewing rivalries
1:32
beating all comers beating Spurs beating
1:36
Manchester United they are in the form
1:39
of their lives they are in the shape
1:42
that they need to be to face
1:45
um their biggest test of the year now
1:48
let's get into it
1:51
City have defeated Arsenal
1:54
very frequently especially over the last
1:57
six meetings City have won
2:01
all of them
2:03
Arsenal have not beat Manchester City
2:05
since:2:09
Arsenal do have good pedigree in the FA
2:13
Cup against City but not in the league
2:15
but they haven't met each other for 18
2:18
whole months craziness craziness
2:22
um
2:23
City come into this game
2:26
very
2:28
in very good shape I think they've sort
2:30
of righted the ship
2:33
um no injuries City have everything to
2:36
play for
2:37
um the mahrez greelish partnership has
2:39
been really good uh de bruyne is in good
2:42
shape especially after his last game and
2:45
then we'll see what lineups are put out
2:49
for this game I would imagine knowing
2:51
Guardiola knowing arteta he's going to
2:54
want to see where his team is and not
2:57
mess around maybe we'll see trust art
3:00
start I'd expect to see Holland this is
3:03
one of those where we don't know what'll
3:05
happen but for City it's less of a
3:08
change
3:09
if City you know play whatever their
3:12
alternate lineup is oh we're gonna play
3:14
fodin and Alvarez instead of
3:18
um instead of Holland and grealish oh
3:20
we're gonna play Bernardo Silva instead
3:23
of and gundogan instead of uh instead of
3:26
Kevin De bruyne so for City they have
3:30
the depth and that's that's the reason
3:32
why team why they're always picked to
3:34
win the league is they're one through 15
3:36
or 1 through 18 is better than anyone's
3:38
in the league but we know with Arsenal
3:41
because we talked about it last week
3:42
they are grooved
3:46
for their their they have seven players
3:49
don't miss the game all year whether
3:51
they will play and show their hand uh is
3:55
unknown unknown just a few facts here
3:58
just that can run off for you guys
4:01
City have actually won 12 of the last 13
4:03
meetings versus Arsenal but this is a
4:05
new Arsenal so the new narrative is
4:07
going to be written
4:09
um this is really about
4:11
you know where these teams are this is a
4:15
mentality check this is a are they there
4:18
for Arsenal it's about
4:22
not getting beat badly or not getting
4:25
beat at all uh actually it's about the
4:27
performance and how it works like if
4:29
City come on and have one of their games
4:31
and blow Arsenal off the park I very
4:34
doubt that'll happen then there's a
4:37
psychological blow then we have another
4:39
Narrative of oh is Arsenal ready
4:42
if City
4:44
lose
4:46
then we get another Arsenal's get ready
4:48
for the title alternative is ready for
4:49
the title they're on for the double
4:51
these are things that go on I'm trying
4:53
to think of all the all the narratives
4:55
if you if City win they're supposed to
4:57
win and now they have they have a a leg
5:00
to stand on for the league
5:03
and then if it's a close match
5:06
that City Edge but Arsenal play well in
5:08
bloody City then then there's less of a
5:11
oh Arsenal's ready then these things are
5:14
up up and in decent places so every one
5:17
of the outcomes has a little bit of um
5:20
of uh of a step about where we want to
5:23
go and how we want to see this and what
5:26
is going to happen next so from that
5:28
perspective it's really super duper
5:31
interesting and I wonder where Arsenal
5:34
go and what city do my prediction is
5:36
city will win this game because they win
5:38
every time at home
5:39
um I am afraid of course because I'm not
5:42
naive I'm not silly I'm not dumb I know
5:44
the power of Arsenal I know where they
5:47
can go but I think the FA Cup is really
5:50
about
5:52
small teams about growing about seeing
5:57
friends that you don't see very often
5:59
and for us that's really
6:02
um for us that's really about talking
6:04
about our friends from Wales
6:07
um our friends from wrexham to see what
6:11
they're up to so rexham we know are
6:14
still in the cup uh owned by
6:16
owned by Rob mcalleninny and Ryan
6:20
Reynolds they still are in this
6:22
competition they get another challenge
6:24
after defeating carpentry right now they
6:27
are flying I know from our group that um
6:32
that everyone loves rexham they love the
6:34
narrative they've done a great job of
6:37
putting this team on the map of putting
6:39
this team in a position for people to
6:41
fall in love with them we know about the
6:43
city ground being sorry about the
6:45
racetrack and wrexham being one of the
6:47
oldest International uh stadiums in
6:49
football we know all the history from
6:52
following along uh on the show and uh
6:56
it's fascinating to get this game rexima
7:00
now box office they've got to be
7:02
televised we've got to see them
7:04
um we've got to find out where they are
7:06
and what they're up to and how they can
7:08
play we know we'll see Mullen up front
7:10
he's the star of the team but all the
7:12
other players are stars in their own
7:14
right
7:15
um that that are making a go of it for
7:19
themselves
7:21
um
7:22
and we just want to see that story come
7:25
through uh rexham are on an incredible
7:27
run they have not lost since October and
7:31
they actually have won their last six
7:32
games in a row uh and like I said they
7:34
knocked out Coventry already Sheffield
7:36
also in incredible form this is
7:39
Sheffield United the blades last of our
7:42
friend Chris Wilder who had a great they
7:45
finished a ninth uh but they they had a
7:47
tough second season
7:49
where they couldn't really move on and
7:51
then Wilder left the team there was a
7:54
little bit of internal turmoil but they
7:56
still have their Premier League money
7:57
they still have the buys and the core of
8:00
that team is still on this team and they
8:02
are flying in the championship eight
8:03
points clear of the of the third place
8:06
finish so they're going to come back up
8:08
um where they'll be okay and like I said
8:10
they're both in incredible form
8:13
um
8:14
but with this game being at the
8:16
Racecourse ground
8:18
in wrexham
8:20
we really have an opportunity for an
8:24
upset The Bookies already have rexham as
8:26
a as an upset for two to one it's a good
8:29
bet
8:30
um they've got a Crest running for them
8:32
for Sheffield
8:35
I know they're in great shape flying in
8:38
the league right now but
8:41
do they need this game do they have
8:44
extra gear they have a lot of injuries
8:46
John Fleck end of Stevens George Baldock
8:49
all out
8:50
um for for Sheffield United I do have
8:53
one player to keep an eye on and die
8:55
he's got 10 goals he's been real Illman
8:58
undai he's up front for
9:00
um
9:01
for Sheffield and he's quite good so
9:05
this should be a good one this is the
9:06
Sunday late game that we'll all be
9:09
pulling for we'll all be rooting for and
9:12
I think from the perspective of a fan
9:14
rexham has got so many American fans now
9:17
that we all can't wait to see
9:20
um uh the racecourse
9:22
explode with joy and see if they can't
9:25
get another round a cup run for wrexham
9:27
is just pure magic for them and their
9:31
fans and where they're moving I do want
9:34
to move on to some other games because
9:38
um we have to talk about my friend Mr
9:40
Jesse Marsh who
9:43
takes his lead side to accrington
9:46
ackerington Stanley I'm literally
9:48
bringing up names of teams because
9:50
they're ridiculous so accrington Stanley
9:52
just has one of the great
9:54
one of them great names in football but
9:57
what's interesting about this is they
10:00
are going to present a problem to Leeds
10:04
um they are gonna house this game
10:06
up
10:07
442 two blocks of four just sit behind
10:11
the ball and make leads break them down
10:13
and the issue for leads is they can't
10:16
break anyone down they're all about
10:18
transition and running through and
10:21
attacking and barely getting the right
10:23
decision uh barely making one or two
10:25
passes together but running and carrying
10:27
the ball
10:29
um I don't I think this is an upset I
10:32
don't think leads can pull it off but
10:33
worth a worth a look for our friends at
10:37
Leeds and the Great and Powerful uh
10:39
accrington Stanley uh just because I
10:41
need to say it Leeds can't buy a win
10:44
they are just completely drawing
10:47
everything their last game they won was
10:51
against Cardiff in the FA Cup but
10:53
otherwise they're winless in their last
10:54
five with lots and lots of draws they
10:56
can't seem to stop drawing you know West
10:58
Ham they drew Newcastle they drew they
11:02
had a draw first Brentford nil nil in
11:04
their last match while Atkinson come
11:06
into the game
11:08
winning in boring wood on the replay
11:11
just just today just the other day but
11:14
they haven't had a win either they beat
11:15
Bristol Rovers uh the other day moving
11:18
in to this game I don't know much about
11:20
accrington Stanley to be fair but this
11:23
is the magic this is what makes the FA
11:25
Cup so wonderful
11:27
um and and where we want to go and what
11:29
we want to check out
11:31
next I do want to bring up uh for
11:33
because we have so many Liverpool
11:35
supporters that we have to check in on
11:39
um
11:41
Liverpool you've got uh Brighton
11:44
how are you feeling about that good
11:48
uh Brighton who I shared earlier are the
11:50
fourth in the league in scoring
11:52
um they're really flying in the Premier
11:54
League they've scored more goals than
11:56
United they've scored more goals than
11:58
Liverpool they've scored more goals than
12:00
Newcastle so this is a team in Brighton
12:03
at deservey he somehow solved the
12:07
problem of um
12:09
that was going on with them
12:14
with Brighton where they couldn't finish
12:15
and he has found a striker in young Evan
12:19
Ferguson with matony matomi next to him
12:22
and Sally Marsh they are now this
12:24
attacking force with McAllister casero
12:27
engross behind him I mean this team's no
12:29
joke like don't with
12:32
Brighton they are better than Liverpool
12:34
I don't think this will be an upset like
12:36
I said I already bet on it in the league
12:38
uh I don't know if I'm gonna bet on it
12:40
again but there's no reason to think
12:42
Liverpool's gonna win this game away
12:44
from home the only thing that I think
12:46
about for Liverpool is perhaps
12:51
they're too good to have seen Liverpool
12:54
a third time so this will be the third
12:56
match that Liverpool have seen Brighton
12:58
they drew
13:01
at home 3-3 that's the trossard hat
13:03
trick game he's no longer with the side
13:05
he's joined it he's joined Arsenal but
13:07
then they got the doors bowling all from
13:09
two weeks ago what makes us think that
13:12
Liverpool won't get the doors blown off
13:15
them that's that's the question right
13:16
like
13:18
what has changed at Liverpool since they
13:21
played Brighton that thinks they won't
13:24
get beaten by Brighton again Brighton
13:26
are better
13:28
um mentality this is a tough team
13:30
there's a lot going on with it maybe
13:32
klopp will play all the kids but as far
13:35
as I can tell there's no reason there's
13:38
no reason that that Brighton should lose
13:41
this game but a draw might be you know
13:43
might be there uh the prediction here
13:45
from who scored is is three two if this
13:48
game is 3-2 it's going to be the
13:49
greatest single three-game series
13:51
against two teams that the world has
13:54
ever seen so I'm praying for it they're
13:56
a dark horse in this I think Brighton
13:58
there's no reason that Brighton cannot
14:00
win this thing uh it's a fast fantastic
14:03
Little Match that we should check out I
14:05
do want to kick off into some carabao
14:08
Cup highlights just because
14:12
uh uh I'm gonna kick off into the
14:15
caramel Cup highlights because we've got
14:18
our semi-final legs already done we've
14:22
got um
14:24
Newcastle
14:25
up on Southampton and United up on
14:31
Nottingham Forest both played their home
14:33
legs and have gotten the teams moving
14:35
the way they expect so we we can expect
14:38
likely that the final will be Newcastle
14:41
versus Manchester United and what a
14:45
moment for both these clubs specifically
14:48
Newcastle who haven't won a trophy since
14:50
the 50s United will feel like it's their
14:52
Birthright will feel like they're better
14:54
uh no you're not you're not better than
14:58
Newcastle
15:00
all the underlying numbers say that it's
15:02
not true Everything says that's not true
15:05
I would be surprised if this isn't a kg
15:09
semi-final they still have a leg to go I
15:11
don't want to put my cart in front of
15:12
the horse uh again Marcus rashford just
15:16
against against Forest just went through
15:19
them it was a goal of pure beauty uh we
15:21
were talking about it in the chat
15:24
um is he the most likable United player
15:26
for a non-united fan
15:32
no the answer is no him he's a red
15:35
uh United can go suck an egg please uh
15:39
nuke uh Southampton don't really have a
15:42
fight they have to go up to St James's
15:44
Park to try and get something from uh
15:46
Newcastle down a goal Newcastle don't
15:48
give up goals at all uh
15:52
Nick Pope is on I don't know 11 clean
15:56
sheets in goal he's saving their ass I
15:58
wonder what we do look like if he uh you
16:00
know been in United instead of the hair
16:03
listen I'm not killing the hair I'm just
16:05
saying Nick Pope is better
16:07
um and then um our friends from forest
16:09
their their Journey ends but they have
16:11
bigger fish to fry to try and stay in
16:13
the league versus worrying about whether
16:15
they're gonna make it to the carabao Cup
16:18
Final although the League Cup is
16:20
something that they have history with I
16:22
think it's the last trophy that Brian
16:23
Clough won when leads when when forests
16:26
were still part of the league so good
16:28
history there but not not not the trophy
16:32
they're looking for right now I'd say I
16:35
would first they're all about staying in
16:36
a leak and they have a very good shot at
16:39
doing that so
16:42
very cool stuff a couple of little uh a
16:45
couple little cultural things that um
16:48
that were brought up that that I looked
16:51
into uh around this and it's
16:55
um
16:55
just the
16:58
FA Cup brings up weird stuff
17:00
so
17:03
Bristol City are in this thing against
17:05
West Bromwich Albion and you get like
17:07
little tiny weird anecdotal story so I
17:11
was listening to the totally football
17:12
show
17:14
um and they were talking about how
17:16
Bristol City's fans have a website that
17:20
is just a timer
17:22
for the Last Time Bristol city
17:25
um scored a penalty I believe they're on
17:29
uh over 400 Days
17:32
um that that Bristol city has not had a
17:34
penalty drawn against them it's just the
17:35
little things that fans do that that
17:37
drive themselves nuts uh and they have a
17:40
fair shot against West Brom but you know
17:42
it's just one of these funny funny
17:44
little things funny these little like
17:46
anecdotes about uh about football around
17:49
stuff like that like Bristol City
17:52
thinking they're hard done by not
17:54
getting penalties by the way Liverpool
17:56
have not had a penalty called for them
17:58
this year either so it's a normal thing
18:00
that happens you know on a big season
18:02
the team will get four penalties called
18:05
their way on a bad team on a Bad season
18:07
you know you might not get any City I
18:09
think only have one or had had one last
18:12
year and it's very weird and you feel
18:13
like your team is under psychic attack
18:16
for not
18:17
um getting a uh a penalty but the
18:21
Bristol City fans have taken in it a
18:23
little bit further than you would expect
18:25
on that one
18:28
um yeah I don't have a deep uh a deep
18:32
feeling about this one but we should
18:33
probably talk about our friends at
18:37
Everton so we know that dice has been
18:40
sacked
18:41
um sorry we know that Frank Lampard has
18:43
been slacked the sort of diametclees
18:45
daishakles has hit Everton
18:48
they have not hired a manager yet
18:52
they are not in the FA Cup
18:54
they are nowhere and the club is right
18:59
now rudderless
19:00
they cannot go to their friend Duncan
19:02
Ferguson because he's taken the forest
19:05
green Rover's job which is the most the
19:07
weirdest job for him because if you
19:08
don't know this look up forest green
19:10
Rovers they are owned by a uh
19:13
sustainability sort of entrepreneur and
19:16
wealth and millionaire who is all about
19:19
like the club is green they wear
19:22
um
19:23
the whole stadium is covered in in um in
19:26
in solar panels and they wear you know
19:29
sustainable clothing and bean burgers
19:31
and no meat it's a very funky little
19:33
club that uh that Duncan Ferguson has
19:36
taken the job over but um
19:40
Everton I don't I think I should
19:42
probably give a little bit of History
19:43
Everton are a massive massive Club this
19:46
is not some rinky dinky Club I mean in
19:50
through the 80s
19:52
Everton had won the league they were up
19:54
there with with Liverpool it was not
19:57
Liverpool was gigantic through history
20:00
of football Everton and Liverpool were
20:02
right next to each other and it's only
20:03
the 70s it's only the 70s and 80s that
20:06
really pull Liverpool away from the rest
20:08
of the clubs but through their history
20:09
they've been neck and EXO you know
20:11
through the 60s Everton were right there
20:14
um
20:14
they've never been relegated from the
20:16
Premier League and is only a handful of
20:18
teams that can say that especially over
20:21
the last 20 30 years
20:23
and they're looking at bielsa which I
20:27
think is crazy uh he's not
20:30
a firefighter guy otherwise why wouldn't
20:33
he be stayed at Leeds
20:35
right
20:37
Everton's problems are
20:39
defensive and spirit in some sense
20:43
um the other option is daesh but
20:47
it doesn't seem like daesh is a cultural
20:51
fit for Everton right now
20:53
I think fundamentally
20:56
Everton fans want a team that reflects
21:00
passion and caring and and something
21:03
that will Mark the club and and move
21:05
them forward and I don't think they're
21:06
going to get that with daish whereas
21:08
bielsa does tap into emotion and does
21:11
bring you to a different place but you
21:14
have to be all in on blc's Mo uh
21:16
otherwise
21:18
um you're going to be in trouble
21:20
so I'm not sure what Everton does but
21:22
watch this space they have had some
21:24
terrible terrible things happen uh
21:27
players want to leave Onana wanted to
21:29
leave didn't go to training
21:31
um uh they had a transfer get stolen
21:34
from them so danjuma had made a
21:36
commitment to Frank Lampard to come to
21:39
Everton
21:41
and because they fired
21:44
Frank Lampard he reneged
21:46
uh I don't blame him I don't think it's
21:48
it's bad he didn't sign the contract yet
21:50
but he did have a physical with Everton
21:52
and now he's gonna be with Spurs so
21:55
danjuma are not danjuma who was really
21:58
good
21:59
helping Bournemouth go up
22:02
two seasons last two seasons ago two
22:05
seasons ago and then they sold him and
22:08
he went to Sevilla where he's been very
22:10
good if you watched him under unai Emery
22:12
he made a huge difference in their
22:13
Europa League run and Championship so
22:15
danjuma is a really good player I don't
22:17
know how he fits in to Spurs plans but
22:20
he's more depth maybe you know maybe
22:23
maybe Sunny gets moved off he plays on
22:26
that side that Sunny normally plays on
22:28
so we'll see it's another attacking
22:30
person maybe kante will play him as a
22:32
uh as a as a wing back who knows
22:35
so we'll see what happens there but
22:37
Everton in trouble not able to get any
22:39
transfers over the line it's going to be
22:41
them against the world and they already
22:43
went to that well can they go to the
22:45
well again Ken bielsa bring the team
22:48
forward can it happen for them again I
22:50
don't know and I do worry for them a
22:53
whole whole lot but let's go through
22:56
some more final FA Cup uh fourth round
23:00
games we'll start
23:03
um with like I said here's the schedule
23:04
just go through the the timeline City
23:06
the Arsenal that's tomorrow get involved
23:09
Warsaw vs Lester man Lester are freaking
23:13
terrible Warsaw just hanging in there
23:16
just a champ a league one side you'd
23:18
expect lesser to handle it we're glad
23:20
that James Madison's back then we have
23:22
Abington Stanley also League one against
23:24
Leeds but at home so that should be
23:26
interesting then the salty Bristol City
23:29
versus West Brom that's a battle of
23:31
Championship clubs West watch Bristol
23:33
City get a penalty
23:35
lewton Town versus Grimsby lewton is the
23:37
higher team there so we'll see what
23:39
happens there then Blackburn with their
23:40
new manager play Birmingham city
23:42
Sheffield Wednesday oh the Wednesday
23:44
against Fleetwood town I love these
23:46
teams please let all the small teams
23:48
drop out so we get weird teams uh Fulham
23:51
V Sunderland Fulham at home against
23:53
Championship level Sunderland who have
23:55
been playing better they're the original
23:56
wrexum with uh Sunderland until I die
23:59
much sadder than the wrexham show
24:02
because they were on the way down versus
24:03
on the way up uh Ipswich Town versus
24:06
Burnley
24:07
Vincent company you beautiful bald
24:09
bastard has Burnley playing well could
24:12
he get further he should he should feel
24:14
favorite against Ipswich Town not sure
24:15
if he's going to rest his team he does
24:17
have a 13-point lead and then
24:19
Southampton play Blackpool after getting
24:22
beat in the carabao cup Blackpool has a
24:24
new manager as well and then Tottenham
24:26
play Preston North End you know I have
24:28
to say in my last episode I Carter sort
24:30
of said
24:31
um
24:32
Tottenham didn't have much to play for I
24:34
was wrong Tottenham has the FA Cup to
24:36
play for the league to play for
24:37
especially fourth place and the
24:39
Champions League I sort of felt like
24:40
their season was petering out because of
24:42
the way they had been losing games but
24:44
not so not so they're in decent shape
24:46
and they can keep moving on and then
24:48
again
24:49
um not Manchester City but Manchester
24:50
United have a not a cakewalk they could
24:53
lose to reading reading our Championship
24:54
side uh under
24:56
uh underperforming their sort of middle
24:59
of the table but United at home against
25:01
reading you'd expect ten hog to push for
25:04
them that's the late game on Saturday
25:06
and then on Sunday like I said
25:09
Brighton Liverpool's the early game then
25:11
Stoke stevenage our friends from Stoke
25:12
they used to be sexy sexy Stoke under
25:15
Mark Hughes they've been uh in the
25:17
wilderness in the championship staying
25:19
there for a while and then finally
25:20
rounding out the round wrexham for
25:22
Sheffield United for our viewing
25:25
pleasure
25:27

25:42

26:12
about 10 to 15 people got stickers and I
26:15
