Hello everybody, welcome to the Football Filling. It's been a couple of weeks.
What happened in the Arsenal vs. Bournemouth match?
We have missed you all so much, haven't we lads? Of course.
We have.
We had a busy week?
Absolutely. Busy weekend. Busy few weeks? No, I've been feet up for me, mate.
How did Manchester City perform against Chelsea?
Where were you at the weekend?
I was at Oxford Watford Saturday and yesterday Crystal Palace Newcastle. He just loves football.
He does.
He loves football and money.
And money.
Tony, what about yourself? Devon Darby, Plymouth Argyle v Exeter.
What went wrong for Tottenham against Sunderland?
Green army. Green army. 2-2. And then yesterday, Wrexham Birmingham. Oh.
Not great. Disappointing Wrexham were they yesterday. Was disappointing, yeah.
What does the relegation battle look like this season?
How were you last night? What about you?
I suppose you graced us with your presence this morning, Ben. I know, yeah. I feel like it's a little bit beneath me nowadays. I'm like mainstream, big broadcasters, BBC, big set up, big cameras everywhere, green screen. Tell us everything.
What were the predictions for Manchester United vs. Leeds?
I tell everyone where you were. So I did BBC Match of the Day 2 last night. I said to the boys, they said, how was it? I said, honestly, I don't think I've ever been so nervous in my whole entire life. We were about to start filming and I had this jacket on. It's called a panic attack then. I think it might be, genuinely. Four minutes to air, I heard. And I was like, I'm sweating. I'm sweating. I was like, touched my brow, sweat there, and I was like, oh, my God. Just stood up and went, I've got to take this jacket off. And they went, you're all right, just calm down.
What was the outcome of the quiz segment?
I went, yeah, I'm all right, I'm all right. I can do this. And in fairness, after that, it was absolutely fine. But yeah, it was good. Really enjoyed it. Gabby Logan was incredible. Pat Nevin is the loveliest man in the world. He can talk for England, Paddy. What a boy, Pat Nevin. What a boy. Honestly, for Scotland, sorry. Yeah, for Scotland. Anyway, shall we get into the weekend's action? It was a good weekend of football. We're going to start with Arsenal. Was it? Tozer, you're a big Arsenal fan. You're a gooner, you're a gunner. The wheels have fallen off, mate.
Do you know what this is? It is like when Rory McIlroy was leading the Masters by so many shots, what, 12, 13 years ago? Yeah. And he just crumbled. And he just couldn't get his head back together to get to play the golf that he wanted to play. So now that is what's happening. Everyone's just overthinking everything mentally, forgotten what they're really good at. Because for me, if I look back at when Arsenal played Man City, what, months and months and months ago, City were scared. I actually looked this morning. The stats possession was 67% possession. They battered them. And do you remember Pep did something that he never, ever did before? He just sat in a... He put five on, put them all really deep, sat off them.
That won't happen next weekend. Mate, that seems a long time ago, that does, doesn't it?
To see Arsenal doing that to a team. I remember, because I remember thinking at the time, Arsenal are going to do them. Do you remember?
You had confidence in... It ended 1-1, but at the same time, they battered them in terms of possession and everything. I was watching the game and there was a lot said about Rea, wasn't there, Watto? Just sort of standing on the ball. And I would love to have known how long he actually stood on the ball. But I just think it's so easy for... It was easy for Bournemouth. Bournemouth played really well. They're a good team, Bournemouth. They're really on the back of, what is it, 14 games without a defeat or something like that. 12 in the Prem. But I just think it made it so easy for them to predict what Arsenal are going to do. They can all push up, get into their little slots and then Arsenal try playing from there.
Yeah, they're not going to force too much of a press when it's just really easy for him on the ball. It's different if it's really open play. and there's a pass that you think you can get after, but they're happy for him to have his foot on the ball, because they just man-mark everywhere else, and right, you've got to pick a pass, and ultimately they're on the jump and ready to go.
