Nicky Butt 0:00
Welcome to the good, the bad and the football. Sponsored by Midnight, the betting app that's built differently. Now, folks, very special guest today on the podcast. Chelsea's most decorated outfield player of all time. Wow. And a little bit of European flair on the show. It's Thessa Aff. Bulaqueta. Did I get it right? Yeah, yeah.
Paul Scholes 0:26
Oh, you see, lads? Thanks for coming on, mate. Thank you. Cheers, thank you. Welcome.
Nicky Butt 0:29
See you. Welcome, thank you. The pronunciation is everything.
Paul Scholes 0:33
Thessa. Stop spitting everywhere.
Nicky Butt 0:34
Thessa.
Paul Scholes 0:35
Thessa what? Thessa.
Nicky Butt 0:37
Because a lot of Philistines in the sport world will be saying Caesar or Cesar. Like you was five minutes ago. No, I did a little bit of research, a little bit of a chat. I thought, you know, I don't go Nihi, but, do I? Papal schools, like that. I do it at Paul's schools, Niki, but, like that.

What led to Kepa's refusal to be substituted?

Nicky Butt 0:59
So I like to get everyone's name absolutely spot on. I had him on the Tuchel thing the other day as well. He said Tuchel, it's Tuchel.
César Azpilicueta 1:07
too cool too cool there you see nice oh here we go well do you know having said about names you were actually known as Dave at Chelsea who gave you that name and why did that come about it's a funny story I was in an audience at the Stamford Bridge yes a few months I arrived into Chelsea and we were Fernando Torres Oriol Romeo Juan Mata and myself the four Spanish players so just they were we were doing some Q&A And so I asked if they could call me Dave. My name was hard. I even had to get the help from Juan Mata. I didn't speak English and I didn't understand. I said, yes, you know. And from there, you just stay Dave.

How does Diego Simeone's superstitions affect his coaching?

Paul Scholes 1:56
Did everyone call you Dave? The players?
César Azpilicueta 1:58
No, players, no. But the fans, yes. That's brilliant.
Nicky Butt 2:04
When you first arrived at Chelsea, On a day-to-day basis throughout your career, how many times non-Spanish players did anyone get your name absolutely perfect? You go, they've got it.
Paul Scholes 2:19
Never.
Nicky Butt 2:20
I don't remember many.
César Azpilicueta 2:21
One batter was the only one. I don't remember many.
Nicky Butt 2:25
Speaking of names, and before we get into the football, I've seen this the other day. Jude Bellingham, in an interview, said he'd love to play James Bond. Now, firstly, iconic.

What are the implications of Tonali's £100m move to Tottenham?

Nicky Butt 2:38
Did you ever watch James Bond in Spain when you were growing up? No. It never played in the cinemas over there and translated? Yeah, yeah, of course. Not your thing? I didn't watch, no. But do you like films in general? I just need to check because a colleague at the San Diego... Not really, no. James Bond though I mean that is it's all coming back it's going to be it's on Amazon I think they've bought the rights to it and everyone's like a bit up in the air and they've got who's going to play James Bond next is there a new one coming A new one coming out. But it's not going to be the traditional. I think it's the Barbara Broccoli. Do you think you've got a chance? I have got a chance. Yeah, once I take the glasses off.
Nicky Butt 3:25
It's either that or Superman.

How do former players view the current state of English football?

Nicky Butt 3:27
But I think whoever's going to be undertaking the James Bond role, a little tip, I think, leave a longer pause. You know the iconic, the name's Bond, James Bond? Go on. You go, the name's Bond. James Bond. Right, that little bit of a gap, little bit of tension. That's where they're going wrong, lads. Who's your favourite one? I think you've just failed.
Paul Scholes 3:55
Who's your favourite one?
Nicky Butt 3:57
Favourite James Bond. I'd say it's about... the era you used to you first got introduced to James Bond but I used to like a slight little comedy angle so I'd say Roger Moore Sean Connery I mean he's the quintessential just his voice brilliant innit I've never watched a film but it's his voice yeah he's cool he's the best James Bond yeah that's good that's good that's very good Sean Connery
He'd come and sat and had dinner.
Chris McCausland 4:27
We went to London to get an award for Team of the Year, you know, a sportsman's award, me and Ryan went on our own. I was with the manager in the Ambassadors Club. Remember the manager's mate? Sid. Yeah, Sid. He used to have a place in London called the Ambassadors Club. Sid Sirius. Sid Sirius, yeah. We sat there and he'd come walking, Sean Connery, and I sat down. I was like, wow, it's Sean Connery.
