    Yeah, get Beardsley on and Waddle on but please please please get Zabaleta on but don’t tell Micah beforehand 😂😂
  • @nevsumal1683
    Beardsley and Waddle would be great but I would love it if you could surprise Micah and bring on Zabaleta
  • @andypeters9324
    As a Blackburn fan I remember the talk of a certain Zidane was rumoured to sign, but you have to remember he was at Bordeaux, and around a 22 - 23 year old - certainly an unknown name at the time. Rumoured years later that the then owner, the late, great Jack Walker had come out with the quote, "why would we sign Zidane, when we have Tim Sherwood" once people knew who Zidane was 😂
  • @DYL2020
    Shearer and Ferdinand were unstoppable in that season they had together it’s a shame they didn’t have more🔥🔥
  • @nellypringle2875
    Alan's memory is a bit faulty, Newcastle did bid for Rooney at Everton before Man Utd came in for him, it was in the last days of Bobby Robson's tenure there. I always remember Craig Bellamy speaking about himself in the first person (edit - third person - duh! Thanks @AaAa-je5eo) when asked about what it would mean for him if Newcastle signed Rooney ("Craig Bellamy will have to do what's best for Craig Bellamy", or whatever he came up with :D). Despite this, this is still my favourite Football podcast, it's not at all juvenile and sensationalist, unlike some of the other high profile ones.
  • ironic that Beardsley gets mentioned today of all days - it was 5 years ago today he was sacked as newcastle youth coach after an fa enquiry found him guilty of racism & bullying, he'll never get another job after that
  • @daniel4224
    The Newcastle bid for Rooney was when he was still at Everton. The bid was rumoured to be made by Freddie Shepherd to force Man Utd's hand to move for Rooney (and match wages etc) (Shepherd's son was part-owner of Rooney's agency I believe)
  • @paulstack8615
    Before Robinho signed for City he actually thought he was going to Utd, he didnt know there were two clubs in Manchester!! True story!!😅😅
  • @leebosworth5828
    Peter Beardsley is extremely humble. Was a top top player and he was small and agile he would be one of the best players in the league in the modern day.
  • Newcastle put a bid in when he was at Everton, not Man Utd, Rooney has said he would have joined Newcastle if Manchester Utd had never come in for him
  • @Medicinemen100
    Great shout from Micah. Would love to see Peter and Waddle on the pod:):)
  • @stuartbinney2659
    I thought we bid for Rooney at Everton 27 million but ManU came in with same offer . Fergy said this bid came a year too early for Rooney but he couldn't let Rooney go anywhere else.
  • @RyanCogar
    I'm just picturing a post-injury & recovering Micah having a nice sleep & then he just starts twitching uncomfortably & mumbling "he's only a utility player"..."Big Meeks is 1st choice right-back always". 😂
  • @jfkers90
    Micah absolutely clueless that Beardsley has been cancelled and there's no chance they get him on 🤣
  • @GIBBO4182
    They keep hammering Micah over Zabaletta, could be worse, could've been subbed off 1 goal short of the England record, for Alan Smith...
  • @xseedx3612
    Please get Peter Beardsley on the pod!!! That would be amazing! Great show as always fellas, thank you.
  • @pauldixon3677
    Love to hear when Pedro is on the pod, maybe get Zabaleta to keep Micah happy too! 🤣🤣🤣
  • @markdavis8430
    This pod has the stories with a laugh a minute Thanks guys 👌
