Welcome back to Bingo's History. It's part four of the World Cup story. I'm with Horatio Gould. Gould! As we get into the 90s, the Golazzo years, the Upshot boys have left, but the corruption is still here. We ended on Italia 90. Yes. And now we get to USA 94, which England did not qualify for. Do we not again? No, we don't qualify in 94.
Even though 90 was one of our best World Cups, probably might be our best World Cup ever, if you think about it. Yes. Apart from 66.
Now, in 1992, the English Premier League had launched.
So suddenly... And it's Murdoch's doing.
Murdoch. And you've got a young Richard Keyes.
who is sort of honing his sexism. He's young, he's agile, he's physically, he's not like an expert like he becomes.
He has not yet reached the Rushmore.
Yes, he's an exciting winger of sexism.
Every week he's hanging out the back of it. He's not yet reached. That Maradona-esque.
But that's a cultured finish of a 34-year-old striker.
Who is Chuck Blazer and why is he significant in FIFA's history?
That's Harry Kane in the Bundesliga who's lost the pace, but still, at the moment, he's front-footed.
That's knuckleball. I mean, there's a glorious strike. Also, I want to highlight the sheer amount of slouch this guy is operating on. He's lost a yard, but he's still got the touch. I don't think anyone has ever slouched harder.
Let's take a look. Then a sexist man.
Then Richard Keyes with his feet up, side-eyeing Jamie Redknapp. Every week he's hanging out the back of it. Everyone's so uncomfortable.
What were the controversies surrounding the 1994 World Cup?
What's it about? They're talking about a woman, maybe Louise Redknapp.
Can you turn it off? Can you smash it?
Doesn't get what he wants.
Mind you, that's a stupid question. If you were anywhere near it, you'd definitely smash it. There he goes.
He'd go around there any night and found Redknapp hanging out the back of it. Just an alpha, you know, an alpha in the jungle. Hold on, go back.
Sorry, go back onto that. What is the outfit? This is a man who feels so comfortable in his position in punditry. I feel now, apart from maybe Neville Carragher, It's such a competitive game being a pundit. It's jeans and shoes. This is a guy who... This is like fucking Jacob Rees-Mogg in the House of Commons.
Yeah, yeah, it is. Do you know what I mean?
It's more like, I run this shit. I'm never going to lose my job. The world's never going to change.
Stupid question.
He's got light-washed jeans. Yeah.
Cardigan. Cardigan. And also, the idea of saying stupid question to your own question. Did you smash it? Stupid question.
Hanging out the back of it.
Every night of the week, you go back there, red nubs hanging out the back of it. A phenomenon.
Sorry, can we get the... What's Richard Keyes? Where did he grow up? What's his story?
Richard Keyes, friend of the pods.
A life. A life well lived.
He married his first wife, Julia, in 1982. They had two children together. Julia files for divorce in 2016 due to Richard Keyes' alleged infidelity.
He's hanging out the back of her. In November 2000, Key was heard to make a racially motivated comment about footballer David Johnson while broadcasting live on the Sky Test channel.
I've just read the slur. Oh my God. I'll discuss. Where is it? You can't be saying that, Richard. Richard. You've cooked me there. Now, that's not as bad as the other friend of the pod, Ron Atkinson, who I, I mean, I watched that happen live. What did Ron Atkinson say? Ron Atkinson, he, well, he went all Mark Furman, shall we say. Right. on Marcel Desailly after a Champions League he basically went to an ad break Chelsea were playing I can't remember Monaco maybe went to an ad break and Ron Atkinson thought his mic was off but the mic carried on live over the ads for like five seconds and he called Desailly a lazy n-word and then it's friendly banter I think no I think it's punditry Ron Atkinson's salty earthy punditry that's pretty bad I mean Keyes do you want to say this one
Keyes describes someone.
This is a quotation.
In his words, as a choco-joco.
I've never heard that before.
I don't know what it means.
It sounds awful. What does it mean? I don't know. I think you could work out what it means.
