Across the frontline our movement and final ball have been poor.

That link up between Barnes and Wissa just then was far more like what we need. Clearly not enough understanding yet.

The overreaction to anything Gordon does compared to Barnes is mad.

I didn’t mean on this pod. Just generally.

Great pod as ever but I think Polanski’s is not being critiqued enough beyond his ability in front of a camera. Only heard more detailed questioning in his policies once on TRIP. Need more discussion on his foreign & defence policies. We know what he doesn’t like but what are the alternative plans?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half an international rules-based order, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Biggest fallacy in football is the Anfield atmosphere. They pump in crowd noise and the fans only turn up when winning in Europe.

But was the number Jon? I make it [no need to check notes] 40.

Well, I think @ydkwydpodcast.bsky.social needs to speak to Sam about his experiences with Exeter City. Get on this!

Would they be “barely legal” if it was Biden in those emails?

In other words to Naomi’s point. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Our in and outs have been non-existent.

Elanga
Ramsdale
Thiaw
Ramsey
And, hopefully this week, Wissa.

Add one more to that and it’s a damn good summer.
