What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
So who's better, you or Harry Kane?
What a stupid question.
VR has actually been the most damaging thing for our sport in my lifetime.
Lewis Hall has to start left back for England. His performances over the last two months have been outstanding.
How long did it take you to think of that question? Gaz, what would you do in this situation?
Such a brilliant, amazing question that took ages to think about.
It's not about the question. It's about the answer. And Gaz delivered.
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards. Recovered, I hope. Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. It's been FA Cup weekend, obviously. No major shocks other than probably Mansfield winning at Burnley. I don't think Tony will be listening to this. Indeed, Alistair Campbell is another Burnley fan. It was a tough one for them. But overall, Micah, how are you? That's the most important thing. You've not been very well. Do you want the honest answer? Of course we want the honest answer.
I think there's something like it's actually coming out both ends or something like that. Is that right?
Yes, I was sick. I was supposed to go to Abu Dhabi. Was it on Monday? It didn't happen. I was feeling, I had a temperature and then I was sick a couple of times and then it come out the other end as well, so.
Nor a virus, was it? Probably. God knows what it was.
What was the outcome of the FA Cup match between Newcastle and Villa?
Well, at least you didn't do it on a football pitch, Michael, because honestly, you never want to do that. It's quite embarrassing. But you're feeling a bit better. Yeah, I'm feeling better.
It's going to take its time the size of that arse to get rid of that, by the way.
Oh, well, we've started at the bottom in this podcast. It wasn't, I would say, the most exhilarating weekend of FA Cup football, but that, you know, that happens every now and again.
Which means all the so-called big boys have sort of done their job and did what they had to do, didn't they?
Can I just give a little bit of context to Burnley though? I actually watched that game and Burnley should have scored three or four goals. It wasn't like they were outplayed. Mansfield were brilliant as well on the day, but Burnley missed so many chances. The goal that they took, they took it really well. But it was, yeah, it was a good day for Cluffy, wasn't it? Do you know anything I would say on that for Burnley?
It's been under pressure. So you win a game, a big game, and you suddenly get three points. You've suddenly got a little bit of the feel good factor. So you get a home game in the FA Cup and you think, oh, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make nine changes. I honestly do not understand the logic behind that. I guess he wants to protect it because he feels like the most important thing is staying up, which is highly, highly unlikely. But if it was to happen, it would happen because they grab a bit of momentum. So if they go into this game playing their best team and they win it again, suddenly two wins on the bounce, here we go. Now, it might not happen anyway, and it might not make any difference, and obviously it's slightly hypothetical.
But I just don't get it. It's not like they're playing in Europe. They're not playing in the Carabao Cup. They've only got league games once every week, really, now. I just... I genuinely, genuinely do not understand the thinking behind it.
I wouldn't argue on that. I would go along with you. It was... In a way, Hull was something similar because I did the Hull-Chelsea game on Friday evening. They each made six or seven changes as well, left a lot of the first-teamers out. It was slightly different for them because they're in fourth position in the championship. So I guess their priority has to be promotion to the Premier League. I mean, realistically, Burnley are not going to win it. Hull are not going to win it. So getting to the next round will probably be
How did officiating impact the FA Cup match at Villa Park?
I don't know, worth anything from half a million to a million if they get picked on a TV game, I guess. I don't know. But yeah, from a Burnley point of view, I certainly get what you're seeing, yeah.
The only thing I would say, though, to counteract that, Gaz, is the players who are not trusted in the Premier League
