welcome to the good the bad and the football sponsored by midnight the betting app that's built different today folks wow we are in for a treat we've got a player on who made his debut before the iphone was even released facebook didn't exist and nikki bought a dreadlocks James Milner. Welcome, pal. Thanks
for having
me. What a career. You started in 2002, retired in 2026. In all those 24 years, what's the biggest change you've seen in the game?
Just talking about probably VAR. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's loads of changes. I think I feel fortunate. I sort of feel like I played in the old school and then the new school. If you like, I've played across two sort of different eras of football. I feel like, you know, when I first started and how it was in the training and you know pretty brutal at times yeah to grow up quick and you get walloped in the air first tackle from behind and it was just a warning and and then obviously now there's players going out there and not wearing any shin pads so yeah um there's lots of change obviously but i just you know i think um i feel lucky i've played across such a span and experienced it all really
unbelievable that 24 years just just the physicality of that amazes me just keeping going but before we get into the football chat and we are going to talk about the manchester derby lads so Oh, come get comfy for this. We've got a question in from one of our subscribers, Pete in Nuneaton, who's a Villa fan. He said, James, is it true you celebrated winning the Champions League by drinking Ribena?
It's not true, no. But it was basically, I think it was a semi-final and we played in Rome and... You know, I think the guy said, are you going to have a glass of red wine tonight? And the first thing that came into my head, no, I'll have a Ribena. And that was it. The amount of bottles of Ribena. I was going to say, because
even the mods over there, hey, get James on, get some Ribena. And I went, I don't know if this is true, lads, but hey, I've got to say, Ribena, though. And the people downstairs from Midnight will be loving this. The money they put into this podcast and we're here with a bottle of
Ribena.
Drink Ribena. You used to have the cartons,
didn't you? Yeah.
Cartons all the
time.
You're still knocking about that? I don't know. I've not had a drink of that. I've not had a Ribena for ages.
Do you know what I've got out of? Cordial. You used to always have Cordial when you were a kid.
Vimso were the main
ones. You used to love a Vimso. An orange squash. Let's get into the football chat, lads. Man United 0, Manchester City 1. Why do you say that so happily, Paddy? I'm just reading out the results,
you know. He's got a smile on his face.
No, I... Listen. There's
nothing
wrong with a bit of... You keep thinking I have this... How did Bolton
get on this
week? 1-0. Oh,
brilliant. Very nice. You
didn't go, though, no? He's... I was wicking. I was up in Scotland DJing. Now, this game, regardless of the result, quite a controversial one. What do you want to talk about first? Do you want to talk about the goal? Do you want to talk about the sending off? The field
is yours, lads. I think for me, I think if you've got to take, well, me and Scully have to take our Man United love out of the way of it. It was quite obviously an offside because he's an interfering player, but anyone likes it or not. They've admitted that now, haven't they? The referees panel. The big thing for me is the red card is ridiculous. He's either got to give both a red card or both nothing or both yellow cards. So that's just papering over the cracks for me as a Man United fan. I think the performance from Man City after that, they went to 10 men, was really, really high level. with 10 players passing out from the back, they look like they've got more players than Man Utd. And I just think that it was very disappointing for Man Utd fans to be playing at Old Trafford against your arch-rival with 10 men and you're not going flat out to go and try and kill them.
I mean, it should have been a high press, should have gone all out, high up.
