Hello and welcome to another ArsCast Extra as always with James from GunnarBlog James. Good morning to you. Good morning, Andrew, and
happy
birthday for yesterday. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, yeah. It was my birthday yesterday. Which is why my voice is a little bit uh You know, croaky today. I was out last night for some dinner with with friends and family, so uh yeah. It's a bit croaky.
Okay. You don't sound too bad. Yeah, sounds like Um and and listen, I know birthdays can be a sensitive time if you're one year older, but it's it's comforting to know, Andrew, you can still double your age and the number is not as high as the amount of charges Manchester City have been found guilty of.
You know what? I'm a little bit worried about this podcast.
Why is that?
Well When you know, I asked for the questions, which I did this morning. I meant to do it last night, but I forgot because I was, you know, out and about. But when I asked for the questions They're pretty much all about Manchester City and the the charges. Let's say if we had a hundred and fifteen questions, one hundred and fourteen of those questions are about the Man City thing. So I d I think and I don't want to be overly dramatic here, when it comes to part two, I think we could be fucked.
Mm. Interesting. All right. Well listen, in the interim we'll we'll we can look for some Some re what's our best eleven? We might have to do what's our best eleven.
Which which which is your best eleven uh of the one hundred and fourteen charges? What's your top eleven? Manchester City charts. Did you have a hundred and fourteen candles on the cake, Andrew? Sadly not. There was no cake. Oh, my neighbor dropped me down some cake while I was out uh and left it on the doorstep. So I had uh I had a bit of chocolate cake for breakfast this morning. That's where I am with my life. Very indulgent. Yeah.
They dropped it down from above? Well from a wind from an upstairs window. No, I mean they d y does that not. I don't think we would say that. He dropped they dropped me down some cake.
Yeah. That's maybe it's Yeah, you can drop in on somebody, but um I guess it's something we would say. Yeah, yeah, they dropped Interesting. They drop me down some cake. If you if you dropped them something, would you be dropping it up? I drop up, yeah, they've got to come down. I've got to go up the road, they've got to come down the road. So I drop it up to them, you see. It's all relative to the the gradient, basically.
Well, that's very kind of them. Yeah, I mean, wow, what a what a few days. What a lovely birthday present for you as well. It
really
was.
It really I mean, out of the blue as well. We've been waiting for such a long time, and then we get the orange bomb. One of the I had a word with him, Andrew.
I he's known that for months, but I said very special friend of mine's got a birthday coming up. You could sit on that I'd greatly appreciate it. Fair. I mean what a what a gesture that was.
Um yeah, I mean Incredible stuff really. 'Cause I was sort of you know, I over the years I've been like Ah they're gonna get away with everything. And then I'm like ah they probably won't get away with everything. They'll get away with something though. And then you sort of convince yourself one way or the other, ah, it's probably not gonna happen, or, you know, all the jokes doing the rounds, Man City found guilty so Everton get duck points, etcetera, etcetera. But this was like uh Pretty much a slam dunk for the uh for the Premier League and their legal team, right?
Yes. It's sort of like I dunno. Waiting for David Walliams to be cancelled. You know, you know it's coming, but you y like You know it's coming, but it goes on drags out for so long, you're like, maybe it won't, maybe it'll just be knighted. And then, lo and behold, something arises. Uh yeah, I mean, it has been sort of in the back of everyone's mind, really. Um I p and it's just I mean it's been an eight year process. I think since the initial kind of UEFA investigations, it's been two years since the hearing into the hundred and fifteen charges.
