Deep dive into Paul Merson's debut as an NFL pundit last Thursday? Including his assessment of the age old Thierry Henry vs Tom Brady debate...

Sorry to ask but what's email for fans MHD? Listened for years and thought I wasn't bothered enough to have them. Then sat and thought this week and made a massive list. Got me raging!

cheers!

What about voice notes? Isn't there a WhatsApp number or summat?

footballcliches.bsky.social•88 days ago

People usually send them via Twitter DM or email

No probs. Thanks for responding. Love your work. Must say I'm very much in the "literal Dave" camp but appreciate what you all do. Thanks for making me realise I'm not the only pedantic cunt about. Up the Blades

Pompey fans were chanting “We are staying up” after going 2-0 up at Swansea on Saturday. Surely you can’t be singing this in November, when they have 30 games to go and only 4 points off 21st!

babybiscotti.bsky.social•88 days ago

Clearly sung in jest

pompeypaul72.bsky.social•88 days ago

Why not? 🤷‍♂️ I remember us singing: “6-5, we’re gonna win 6-5…” against Arsenal when we lost against them (1-5) in 2004! It’s called ‘humour’! We know we’re in a predicament, but reckon we may get out of it, by backing our team to the hilt, but also having a laugh. #Pompey

I actually took it so earnestly and says a lot about me tbh 😂that would make a lot more sense and wasn’t meant as a dig at all in any sense!

Your encycopaidic memory of footballers names in things is better than mine. Have you done Mike Williamson in Inspector Morse? If not, I’ll find a clip.

Ludwig on BBC. Episode 2.

2 timestamps.

15:30 & 48:40

That’s no coincidence….surely? Either my mind has been corrupted, or a BBC scriptwriter’s has

I'm sure I've missed the cut, but so much from Deeney's team of the week - how Kluivert 'broke a lot of stereotypes about penalties being easy to take' by scoring three and, my favourite, giving Rashford his debut. Glorious.

Small child at Walthamstow this weekend trying to get the lino’s attention by repeatedly shouting “flagman! Flagman!” (In the “Barclaysman sense, rather than the superhero sense, naturally). Nothing to adjudicate on: I’m all for it

footballcliches.bsky.social•89 days ago

Did they pronounce it "flag-man" or "flag-m'n", though?

matrodger.bsky.social•89 days ago

Flagm’n!

Who is the most new manager bounce player? Feels like Rashford is a decent candidate for this.

littledawg13.bsky.social•89 days ago

On 5Live Liv-City comms John Murray (I think) described Goodison as ‘the great old ground’. Is Goodison the quintessential Great Old Ground and what are the other likely candidates? It doesn’t feel right for other older grounds that are maybe too big or had too much modern development.

littledawg13.bsky.social•89 days ago

Also….sorry if you’ve done it already…..

mattywebber.bsky.social•88 days ago

On Saturday, Jonathan Pearce described some of Hulk's efforts as "cannonball shots", a good expression that I'd not come across before. But is it only received for a certain type of striker? i.e. ones on the hefty side.

niftyparms.bsky.social•88 days ago

What is a deep cross?

Had a debate about what a "deep cross" is after a commentator described a cross that went over everyone & out of play as deep. I didn't agree.

But what are the characteristics of a deep cross?

I thought it's a bit loopy near the penalty spot or the centroid of the players.

astoldbyjman.bsky.social•88 days ago

I am a big fan of extended period of silence content. Yesterday on US feed Lee Dixon made a joke about GLS knowing what it’s like to go 7 without a win to which he responds “I definitely do” followed by a full 30s of no one saying anything (53.40-54.10)

kunleiform.bsky.social•88 days ago

Sure that you’re going to cover this already, but: Pep flashing up the 6 fingers at Anfield after “sacked in the morning” chants. Good #banter the first time, cringe if you keep doing it?

ahmackenzie.bsky.social•88 days ago

Jonathan Pearce said Joshua Zirkzee had 'come back to haunt' Everton after scoring against them. Apparently he had a trial in 2017 as a 16-year-old under Ronald Koeman, after which Zirkzee rejected the offer of a contract. Should the 'come back to haunt' bar should be set a bit higher than that?

mclannahan.bsky.social•88 days ago

Doesn’t work on the pod but time to revive the thread on “advertisers getting football wrong”? This shocker near Blackfriars Bridge

matchballdisplays.bsky.social•89 days ago

Also, what are your thoughts on away fans(possibly happened with Arsenal yesterday)singing the 'get battered everywhere they go' song?
Doesn't sit right with me, given the home team haven't actually gone anywhere.

matchballdisplays.bsky.social•89 days ago

5live handing over from their coverage of Liverpool Man City to the news "read by John Barnes" seemed like a very apt footballers names in things
