going out naked was a

negative. Grocery shopping in the

Sunday service in the buff?

A disservice. And make it

of question and answer episode. We're going to

1:44

mix it up today because we've had

1:46

a couple of big nights of football, both

1:48

in the Premier League and the championship.

1:50

We'll discuss those first and then answer one

1:53

or two of your questions here with

1:55

me as always. Michael Richards, well, not as

1:57

always, but you know what I mean. And

2:00

Alan Shearer, how are

2:02

we? Chast, you watched the game last night?

2:04

I watched bits of it, guys. I

2:06

didn't watch all of it. I watched bits

2:08

of it. I'm talking about not obviously

2:10

talking them against Forrest. Yeah, I watched bits

2:12

of it. and the bits I saw

2:14

Forrest thoroughly deserved the win. Big pressure on

2:16

them after the results at the weekend.

2:18

So they had to win and they won.

2:20

I wouldn't say I a canter because

2:22

the 2 -1 wouldn't suggest that but I

2:24

thought they were much better and Spurs were

2:26

awful again defensively but Forrest a great

2:28

result really was. Are you nervous Al now?

2:30

Talking about Newcastle snooking to

2:32

third, Newcastle snook down

2:34

to fourth. Hey,

2:41

I'm on a minute. We're in where we

2:43

mid to late April. I've got a

2:45

trophy in the fourth and the Premier League.

2:47

Now that is not a bad place

2:49

to be, boys, is it? Come on. That's

2:51

good. He's getting it back now. Good

2:53

response there. Good response there, Alan. But it's

2:55

incredibly tight there, isn't it? I mean,

2:57

it was a very forest -like performance, wasn't

3:00

it? That, you know, if you look at

3:02

the stats, you go, cool. Blimey, how

3:04

did Dom Tottenham not win that game? But

3:06

if you actually watch it and see

3:08

they're comfortable without the ball, they, you know,

3:10

they counter as well. And they've always got

3:12

goals in them. It's a good bounce back

3:14

for first, because they were under real pressure

3:16

last night, weren't they? Because having lost a

3:18

couple and everyone else catching them up. It's

3:21

like a golfing leaderboard, isn't it now?

3:23

It's suddenly all kind of concertinaed right

3:25

at the top there. Well, not right

3:27

at the top, but for the Champions

3:29

League spots. I

3:31

have a moment to talk about Chris Wood, by

3:34

the way. 19 goals this

3:36

season now, Micah. That is

3:38

unbelievable. No, seriously. Forrest,

3:41

he was written off

3:43

at the team, Burnley, not

3:46

written off, but then he goes up

3:48

to Newcastle, didn't quite work for him.

3:50

His mentality to overcome that,

3:52

but actually, been more

3:54

than just a big striker up

3:57

there. His movement is excellent. He

3:59

holds up the ball really well, his

4:01

little touches around the corner are

4:03

great, and to get that header

4:06

for his goal, you know, to

4:08

score 19 goals in the Premier League,

4:10

in a team that majority

4:12

of the time sit in a low block, and

4:14

so your movement has to be right, and the

4:16

way, of course, we've mentioned onto the door, in

4:18

a longer what they've done for the team, you

4:21

know, getting them up the field, but for him

4:23

to be in the right position to score a

4:25

goal, I just think he's been ridiculously good this

4:27

year. Absolutely outstanding, totally

4:29

agree with him. I didn't

4:31

see that coming, to be honest.

4:33

I didn't see him scolding that

4:35

many in the season at Forrest,

4:37

but respect to him. And he's

4:39

been unbelievable. As have Forrest this

4:42

season, for the vast majority of

4:44

it, they've been exceptional, been incredible.

4:46

Totally agree with Chris Wood, his

4:48

season of his life. obviously

4:50

but he's really stepped up it's

4:52

I think the way Forrest play obviously

4:54

suits him getting that pace around

4:56

him and he's been he's been

4:58

really really brilliant this season

5:00

and if Forrest get to

5:02

the Champions League it'll be you know a

5:05

lot down to him and a lot down

5:07

to his manager and coach as well because

5:09

the University of Santa has done an amazing

5:11

job. Any one question for you though Micah? Yes.

5:14

Did you change the fact that you

5:16

got three Forrests? Defenders, well, one goalkeeper

5:18

and two defenders for your fantasy team.

5:21

Yeah, of course I'm thinking. You're

5:23

it. Watch it, watch it, let me down, you're out. I

5:25

took, I took out

5:27

Milinkovic. Yeah, I took

5:29

out Marillo, I put Selv

5:31

on the bench, I brought in Rea, he's got

5:33

a double game week, he got me a clean

5:35

sheet. the other day against Ipswich and

5:37

then obviously he's playing... I thought you

5:40

were chirpy this morning, I thought you

5:42

were quite chirpy. I bet

5:44

though with about three minutes to

5:46

go you were thinking I should

5:48

have kept them all in. I

5:50

should have kept them man! Then

5:52

they conceded later on. I've never

5:54

celebrated a goal so much when

5:56

Rich Charles has scored, I was

5:58

absolutely buzzing. On the other side of

6:00

things, Spurs are now

6:02

16th with 37 points, one

6:04

point above West Ham, one

6:07

point behind Wolves. I mean, it's

6:10

been a joyful season. It could

6:12

be salvaged, of course. It's a

6:14

very similar season to Manchester United.

6:16

It's identical, identical. Yeah, they've got

6:18

a better side of the draw

6:20

with Bodo Glint. I

6:22

think the population of Bodo

6:25

Glint is smaller. than

6:27

the number of people you can get in

6:29

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It's been

6:31

an embarrassment this season in the league, hasn't

6:33

it? I mean, you'll see they've had injuries

6:35

and know I get that. Man United are

6:37

exactly the same. And everything, everything

6:39

for those two clubs, Spurs and Man United

6:41

is riding on that Europa League. I mean,

6:43

if they don't win it. I

6:45

mean, it's not only Silverware, is it? You

6:48

jump into the Champions League. Can

6:50

you imagine finishing 16th, 17th in

6:52

the Premier League and being in

6:54

the Champions League? It's bonkers. And

6:56

without sounding disrespectful to Bordel, Glint,

6:58

you've got them in the semi

7:00

-final to get through to a

7:02

Europa final. I mean, come on. If

7:06

someone had said that to you, you'd snap their hands

7:08

off, wouldn't you? You absolutely would.

7:10

What's going wrong with Spurs though

7:12

guys? I gave my opinion

7:14

last week about them and the manager

7:16

getting involved in press conferences

7:18

and not being himself, biting

7:20

back and all that, but

7:22

actually if you look on the field, forget

7:25

off the field for a moment. They're

7:27

a shadow of the team that they were. Have

7:29

you seen how bad they are at the back

7:31

of them? Even the goals last night, it was

7:33

like, really? How much space do you want?

7:35

How much time do you want to put the ball

7:37

into the box? Because we know that's what you want

7:39

to do and we know you've got a big man

7:41

who loves Ed in the ball, yet we're going to

7:43

allow you at ease just to put the ball into

7:45

the box for Chris Wood and the keeper comes, Superman

7:48

misses it and he gets his goal.

7:50

I mean, they were so bad defensively, suppose.

7:52

I mean, early last season, remember, when

7:54

they got off to a flying start, the

7:56

top of the league, and things

7:58

have gone terribly wrong since then,

8:00

certainly in the league. It's

8:02

really hard to know

8:04

what's ultimately wrong in there, unless you're

8:07

actually inside the camp, isn't it, I

8:09

suppose? But all is not well, is it,

8:11

Micah? All is not well? No, all

8:13

is not well. And just from a football

8:15

point of view, I don't see

8:17

much rotation. I don't see no

8:19

confidence. You know I've been

8:21

a big admirer of Avange for a

8:23

while now and that was because of

8:25

Chris Sutton and this was before he

8:27

was even at Celtic. Chris Sutton talked

8:30

about it when he was in Japan

8:32

so I studied him, I studied his

8:34

style of play. It was aggressive, it

8:36

was forward thinking, it was taking risks.

8:39

Okay they take risks when the conceding

8:41

goes but they're not finishing their

8:43

chances. Salanki's been a disappointment

8:46

the whole season here. He's had

8:48

knocks as well. Tell who come

8:50

from Bayern Munich. He looks really good

8:52

for 20 minutes, then he drifts

8:54

out the game. Alderbert, who

8:56

they got from Burnley. I

8:59

remember when Winston company signed in, he

9:01

looked like he was going to be an

9:03

absolute superstar, but he looks like a

9:05

bit of a headless chicken at the moment.

9:08

So maybe he's just down to confidence,

9:10

but this is not, it's not, it's not

9:12

good enough. Obviously, their main player, Kulosevski,

9:14

has been in and out the team for

9:16

injuries, but... played with me

9:18

yesterday and still,

9:21

it's just not good enough. not good

9:23

enough at all and we can

9:25

make all the excuses that we want

9:27

and we can only hold on

9:29

to the Europa League now because it's

9:32

been a very poor season. A

9:34

shout for Toffolo though, for the

9:36

clearance off the line. Oh yeah. I

9:39

mean boy, what a clearance that was.

9:41

incredible wasn't it? It was off Kulisewski wasn't

9:43

it, header? It was unbelievable how he

9:45

got to that one. It was an incredible

9:47

stop. I've got three words for you

9:49

Micah. Leeds, Leeds,

9:51

Leeds! It's

9:58

another of Micah's clubs. What

10:00

are we up to now? Six clubs in the

10:02

Premier League? We'll shout

10:04

it out loud. We love you.

10:06

Nice. Nice.

10:09

Come on, guys. We're buzzing the back in

10:11

a big club, back in a prep.

10:14

Daniel Falker, what a job he's

10:16

done. You know the big, not

10:18

turning point, because Mellier,

10:21

the goalkeeper, is such a

10:23

good goalkeeper. Really good with his

10:26

feet. The way he plays out, the

10:28

way they want to play, perfect. But

10:30

in vital moments, he made

10:32

some big errors. So

10:34

the question mark was, and I've seen all the

10:36

Leafs fans all over social media saying, they've

10:39

got to put Darlo in, they've got to put Darlo

10:41

in. And then, you know, just

10:43

a safe pair, you know, nothing

10:45

too fancy, but he's going to

10:47

do your job. And since he's

10:49

come into the team, they just steady the

10:51

ship a little bit. And remember the

10:53

swing. So when they beat Chef United a

10:55

couple of months ago, It looked like

10:57

they were going to run away with it, no

10:59

problem. Then they had a few bad results. Mellier made

11:02

a few mistakes and then it looked like he

11:04

was going to need playoffs. But now

11:06

they are up. You know

11:08

who the massive signing has been for them

11:10

though? They brought in

11:12

the fullback, Bogle, and he

11:14

has been sensational. Defensively,

11:17

starting attacks, scoring goals.

11:20

Yeah, it's been... season. Rollercoaster, but

11:22

I'm absolutely buzzing through. So

11:24

you've got about how many clubs

11:26

you've got now that you're

11:28

supporting in the Premier League? Before

11:30

you answer that, Michael, we

11:32

actually got a question from Jonathan

11:34

Parker, which I can put

11:36

in here because you'll understand why.

11:39

Question for Micah. Arsenal,

11:41

Leeds and Manchester City are

11:44

all going into liquidation. Micah

11:46

has the money to save

11:48

just one. Who

11:51

is he saving? Great question!

11:57

What a question that

11:59

is! Why is it not going to be

12:01

Leeds, is it? It's not going to be Leeds. I didn't play

12:03

for Leeds. I was just born in Leeds. You didn't play for

12:05

Arsenal either? I wasn't even born in Leeds. I was

12:08

raised in Leeds. I was born in Birmingham. So,

12:10

although I love Leeds, yeah, we'll put Leeds

12:12

to the side. Arsenal or

12:14

Man City? Careful, careful. Man City, pay

12:16

some of your wages, man. I'm gonna go

12:18

with Man City. You know where I'm

12:20

gonna go with Man City? What

12:22

a fucking shot that is! Honestly,

12:29

what do you want? Okay,

12:32

let me explain something. So, on

12:34

League of the Roam, which is a fun

12:36

show, you're having a few

12:38

drinks, it's laugh and joke. You

12:40

tell stories, some stories, like I told

12:43

a story about... one of the,

12:45

I think I did it on this part actually about, you

12:48

remember Maria Suarez who led me down a

12:50

dark alley from some tickets and all that

12:52

sort of stuff. So that's what I like

12:54

to do, open, honest in the

12:56

way I say things. So I'm going to

12:58

leave you the room. I think

13:00

it was last season. I'm

13:02

on the panel and Romesh is

13:04

a big Arsenal fan. He asked me,

13:06

who are you supporting? And

13:09

I say, well, on air, Man City,

13:11

because I played for them. I

13:14

support Arsenal because

13:16

Man City got

13:19

emails and complaints

13:21

about me how

13:23

I shouldn't be

13:25

associated with a

13:27

club. I shouldn't

13:29

be an ambassador for

13:32

the club and I'm an

13:34

absolute disgrace. I've sold

13:36

my soul to BBC, Sky

13:38

and who are all the other Broadcasters,

13:41

I worked for. Sent from Alan

13:43

Shearer, that was. Alan

13:48

Shearer of Newcastle. In the

13:50

programmes, when I was a

13:52

kid, it all knew.

13:54

City fans knew I was an Arsenal

13:56

fan. I always had a look for

13:58

Arsenal. But my love for

14:01

City became because I played for the

14:03

club. When I went to the

14:05

club at 14, why can't I

14:07

understand the difference between the two? I

14:09

look both clubs, you know? There's

14:11

another one coming, guys. There's another one coming as

14:13

well, you know. Wait till Birmingham get up. Oh,

14:15

I was born in Birmingham. I look both clubs.

14:21

Which might explain his performances for

14:23

Villa. Another

14:29

question, by the way,

14:31

Micah. I

14:48

don't know the note congratulations

14:50

to Leeds on getting promoted and

14:52

congratulations to Burnley they won

14:54

the what was I suppose the

14:56

big game yesterday was they

14:58

were playing Sheffield United and beat

15:00

them And their record

15:03

this season under Scott

15:05

Park has been pretty impressive,

15:07

particularly of late, conceded

15:09

just 15 goals in 44

15:12

games, kept 29, 29

15:14

clean sheets, haven't conceded

15:16

more than one goal in

15:18

any game. Unbelievable. I

15:20

mean, that is nuts. And

15:23

unbeaten in the last 31 games and

15:25

now back in the Premier League and

15:27

then there'll be... them championship again within

15:29

three, four months, probably. That's the nature

15:32

of it now, but hopefully not. Yeah,

15:34

what a job Scott Park has done,

15:36

eh? Unbelievable that is. I mean, those

15:38

stats are ridiculous. There really are staggering

15:40

season that they've had. Well, I've been

15:42

to Burnley a couple of times this

15:44

season. You're a big supporter, obviously. The

15:47

pies are fantastic in

15:49

there, honestly. They're steak pies.

15:52

Some of the best. I went to the

15:55

Leeds game there as well, but...

15:57

of players to watch out for, Egan,

15:59

Riley, he was at Man City, Yufi,

16:01

his centre, centre are really

16:03

good, he's been outstanding, Trafford

16:06

as well, has been

16:08

brilliant for the team. Yes,

16:12

two midfielders, Cullen and

16:14

Brownell, Brownell got

16:16

a couple yesterday, and

16:20

then they brought in Marcus

16:22

Edwards from small in Lisbon. I

16:24

think it was in January

16:26

and he's just given them the

16:28

little lift that needed going

16:31

forward, like creativity wise, but

16:33

I'm building for him. And

16:35

Tony, your business partner, friend

16:37

of the pod, or should we say owner of the

16:39

pod? He was doing

16:41

a pod for the BBC

16:44

Top 10 and he comes in

16:46

and he's straight in and

16:48

he said, can he

16:50

do it? I said, just relax, just

16:52

relax. Scott Parker knows what he's doing.

16:54

At times, you're not going to get

16:56

entertaining football, but you're going to be

16:58

set up really well. And if you

17:01

can get someone who can score a

17:03

few goals, you'll be fine. So

17:05

Burnley and Leeds going up, I'm absolutely

17:07

delighted. There'll be a few clubs after Trafford,

17:09

goalkeeper. Well, that's the thing when you

17:11

go up now, it's keeping your players, isn't

17:13

it? And the roles and all that

17:15

sort of stuff. The other one, it

17:19

was... mentioned actually to me

17:21

by Alistair Campbell, he says Maxine

17:23

Esteve. Esteve, yes. Esteve from

17:25

Montpellier, he got him, I recall,

17:27

and he really likes, he's

17:29

the other centre back, isn't he?

17:31

So yeah, what season they've

17:34

had and leads to and good

17:36

luck when you get in

17:38

the Premier League. Let's take a

17:40

quick break, then we will

17:42

answer just a few of your

17:44

questions. Welcome

17:51

back to the rest of this football

17:53

with Alan Shearer, Mike Richards and me, Gary

17:55

Linnick. We'll endeavour to answer some of

17:57

your questions now. Let's start

17:59

with one from Geoffie. Should

18:01

there be a relegation playoff in

18:03

the Premier League to help newly

18:05

promoted teams stay up in the

18:08

Premier League? I'm quite happy with

18:10

who it is. I know that

18:12

there's three clubs are coming up

18:14

struggling and sustained, but that'll change.

18:17

No, I'm quite happy with three up

18:19

three down. I think it will

18:21

be a bit harsh if you had

18:23

playoffs to go down because particularly

18:25

if three teams like this season they're

18:28

miles off it and then you've

18:30

got one team that's 10 points ahead

18:32

of them and then they're the

18:34

team that end up being relegated I

18:36

just think I mean I know

18:38

the same thing can happen when they

18:40

get promoted from the Premier but

18:42

it seems it feels a bit different

18:44

rather than suffering that fate. I

18:47

agree. I agree, all agree. Don't we

18:49

do that in Germany now? Shall we do that

18:51

in Germany with one of the teams? Yes

18:53

sir, in Germany the

18:55

teams who finished 16th

18:57

in the Bundesliga and

19:00

third in Bundesliga 2

19:02

can test the promotion

19:04

relegation playoff known in

19:06

Germany simply as the

19:08

relegation. The relegation, yes!

19:11

That's slightly different isn't it? Praying from

19:13

one from the top, one from

19:15

the bottom, it makes a bit more

19:18

sense. Yeah, possibly. A question from

19:20

Sam County. We're coming up, of course,

19:22

next week, aren't we, to the

19:24

Champions League semi -finals. So we've got

19:26

one here. Should Arsenal have

19:28

no fear in believing they can

19:30

win the UCL, the UEFA Champions

19:32

League? They should have absolutely no

19:34

fear. After what they did to Real

19:36

Madrid over two legs, they should

19:38

have no fear. But they can't

19:40

be complacent. You know, they can't

19:42

go in and think the job's done

19:45

because PSG can hurt you. There's

19:47

no reason Arsenal should have any

19:49

fear. I don't think they will.

19:51

I mean, after what they've done in

19:53

the quarter -final, I know they're not

19:55

going to have party in that

19:57

first game, but I think what they'll

19:59

take confidence from is the way, or

20:02

what Aston Villa did to PSG, particularly in

20:05

the second half, the way they went after

20:07

them, the way they pressed them, the way

20:09

they harassed them and all of those things.

20:12

I think they'll look at that game and

20:14

think they've got a chance, yeah, absolutely.

20:16

I always think that I'd find it a

20:18

funny expression. You go into a

20:20

game without fear. I mean, have you ever

20:22

played a football match fearing it? Not really.

20:26

Maybe in Manchester Derby, but

20:28

not fearing the opposition. That's

20:31

what I mean. a funny word,

20:33

isn't it? Yes. a funny word, fear.

20:35

I think it's more about should

20:37

you be confident. of going up against

20:39

those. They'll be confident Arsenal.

20:42

There's no reason why they shouldn't be

20:44

confident after what they did in the

20:46

quarter -finals. Big question here from Marcus

20:48

Richmond. I think Marcus, not Rashford, Richmond. Is

20:51

Louis Skelly the best

20:53

fallback to burst onto

20:55

the scene since Micah?

20:58

Yes, well, the key

21:00

word since Micah,

21:02

yes. Yes.

21:07

Yeah, but I

21:09

can remember, at this

21:11

age, probably, yes.

21:15

I mean, Heisen's done well

21:17

though as well, I mean, at

21:20

Bournemouth. Yeah. Not really a fallback

21:22

though, is he? Yeah. Centre

21:24

Arthur. Yeah,

21:26

centre Arthur. Yeah, I

21:29

think he's... been absolutely fantastic. It's

21:31

Bill this you know he's Bill

21:33

this Bill this like he's so

21:35

physically strong already isn't he I

21:38

mean even he look at his

21:40

legs are like tree trunks already

21:42

in strong thick set and yeah

21:44

it's just I mean everything about

21:46

him is outstanding isn't he? You

21:48

know who did though Shaw at

21:50

Southampton? Do you remember when Shaw?

21:53

Yeah look Shaw yeah. He was

21:55

outstanding he was I

22:12

think this question must come

22:14

from a Newcastle fan Michael

22:16

John David. Is Alan looking

22:18

forward to watching Newcastle in

22:20

the Champions League again. And

22:43

now you say we don't want to take the

22:45

plate. Oh, I'm on table. We're all

22:47

right. We don't need to shout. We'll

22:49

just let them carry on. They've had

22:51

one bad day at Aston Villa last

22:53

weekend. I should point out that we're

22:55

recording this on Tuesday morning before the

22:57

Villa Man City game. Well, that's going

22:59

to be a draw, isn't it? Hopefully

23:01

that's a draw. Do want it to

23:03

be a draw? Would you like to

23:05

see one team get perhaps beaten? No,

23:07

I would like to see it a

23:09

draw. Point needs that. That'll do. Let's

23:13

ask a couple of more questions. Mike

23:16

Patterson, and this must be

23:18

maybe a Tottenham fan because

23:20

said, will Arsenal's 820 formation

23:22

catch on? Someone's

23:26

getting a little bit

23:28

bit bitchy there. I

23:33

don't think we'll answer that

23:35

one. And

23:37

here's right, we'll finish with

23:39

this really important question. From

23:41

Mouse Man. This is ridiculous.

23:45

If each of your fingers on one

23:47

hand could dispense any liquid, what

23:49

would it be and why? Dispense!

23:55

If each of your fingers on one

23:57

hand could dispense any liquid, what

23:59

would it be and why? It's for

24:02

the show! It's not for the

24:04

show! Oh no! Who,

24:08

what the question from a mouse

24:10

Man? Mouse Man, yeah. What,

24:13

what's of question is that?

24:16

Bloody hell. Mouse

24:18

Man, have a good look yourself. little

24:20

bandicolo, Negroni, leak out of Negroni. Or

24:25

Guinness. Or

24:27

Guinness. Yeah, Guinness, yeah. Guinness,

24:30

yeah. yeah. Yeah, a

24:32

Guinness. Bloody hell. Yeah. On

24:35

that note, we will dispense

24:37

with this show. We'll

24:39

be back on Friday with

24:41

an interview with Ola Aina from

24:43

Nottingham Forest, which we're to

24:45

chat to tomorrow So can't tell

24:47

24:49

24:51

24:53

nine forest had. So out

24:56
