0.031 - 9.343 Unknown

Coming up on today's show... Lovely jubbly!

0

9.664 - 13.208 Alan Shearer

Is Mike a frozen or is he actually thinking?

0

14.35 - 15.171 Unknown

You dickhead.

0

16.493 - 17.274 Alan Shearer

Why is he a dickhead?

0

17.614 - 27.507 Unknown

Because he's just copying it the same as one below me and he's probably got it right, has he? He's spot on. No way! I'm thinking of going higher.

29.731 - 39.988 Alan Shearer

It won't make any fucking difference because Al's spot on. How many do you think? 50. Micah? 48. Alan is spot on.

43.654 - 48.482 Unknown

I've got the point back. Come on. Oh my God.

56.208 - 72.208 Alan Shearer

This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before the action starts, a word from Fuse, who makes switching energy supplies easy. To celebrate big moves, we're testing Alan and Micah on the legends of the transfer window.

72.188 - 97.912 Unknown

Which Premier League club holds the record for the all-time highest spend transfer window? We know that. We've done that on the pod before. It is Liverpool. I'll go City then. Micah is correct. Of course I'm correct. How much did they spend? And obviously it was last summer. Yes. How much? It was like £460 million. £425 million. You're pretty much in the middle. £446.5 million.

Chapter 2: Which Premier League club holds the record for highest spending in a transfer window?

194.718 - 213.386 Alan Shearer

I don't think it'll really make any difference because even if someone does score a goal or two, it's not going to change the order. So, Premier League players that have scored the most goals with the left peg. So, I'll give you a few seconds to think about it. This is quite hard, this, eh?

0

213.746 - 221.518 Alan Shearer

Well, you know, you've got to think about left footed players, I suppose, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're all left footed players.

0

221.65 - 223.312 Unknown

Can I go first, Al, this time?

0

223.632 - 226.796 Micah Richards

Yes, you can go first, Micah. Give me a bit more thinking time.

0

226.896 - 234.104 Unknown

Big Meeks to go first. Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing.

235.106 - 246.339 Alan Shearer

Salah, our Egyptian king. Egyptian king, Mo Salah. Well, unsurprisingly, he's in the top ten.

247.4 - 247.54

Mm-hmm.

247.52 - 270.675 Alan Shearer

Unsurprisingly, he's number one. So great start for Micah. I mean, we've talked about Mo many times, but obviously his time is up at Liverpool. It could have ended a little bit, a bit more amicably. But overall, I mean, his contribution to Liverpool over the almost decade that he's been there has been incredible, hasn't it?

271.246 - 292.169 Micah Richards

Yeah, he's been amazing. He's been absolutely outstanding. One of the Premier League greats of all time. Set such a high standard and did so many great things for Liverpool. I wish it hadn't sort of ended in the way it has done, but it is what it is. They clearly don't get on him and the manager and haven't done for a while. But yeah, that doesn't take away from what he's done for Liverpool.

Chapter 3: How do Alan and Micah prepare for the quiz?

420.473 - 426.5 Alan Shearer

Or actually, can I say we have a top 11? And how can that happen?

0

427.501 - 428.182 Unknown

We must have a joint.

0

428.802 - 431.325 Alan Shearer

Yes. Which joint though?

0

433.398 - 434.439 Micah Richards

What do you mean, which joint?

0

434.459 - 435.941 Unknown

Joint 10th, no?

435.981 - 454.1 Alan Shearer

Correct, Mike, obviously. It's joint 8th, you just go to 10th, so it doesn't matter. Love it, love it. Yes, we have joint 10th place players, of which I'm sure you'll guess them at some point. So, Micah Richards, back to you.

454.44 - 467.097 Unknown

Sorry, where was Giggs, sorry? 4th. 4th, so Giggs 4th. What about my mate Daniel Sturridge? Ooh, that's a good shout. Lovely left foot he did.

468.301 - 472.051 Alan Shearer

He did, actually, and he scored quite a lot of goals with that left foot, didn't he? Mm-hmm.

Chapter 4: Who are the top left-footed goal scorers in Premier League history?

472.592 - 474.879 Alan Shearer

I'm afraid there's a buck coming, though, Michael.

0

475.42 - 475.621 Unknown

Oh!

0
0

476.345 - 501.139 Alan Shearer

And the bot is, he just misses out, is in 12th. And if you consider we've got a 10th equal, you'll realise that that was really, really close. So your mate Sturridge has let you down. Not for the first time. Yeah, Daniel Sturridge, 12th with 47 goals. So our first mistake. Can't believe it. So it's over to you, Alan. You've now got the advantage. Home advantage has gone.

0

501.659 - 503.762 Alan Shearer

Left footed Premier League.

503.982 - 506.645 Micah Richards

Robin van Persie. Good shout.

507.246 - 510.911 Alan Shearer

Good shout indeed. Robin van Persie's in third place, Alan.

510.931 - 512.112 Micah Richards

Ooh, come on, big me.

512.453 - 529.074 Alan Shearer

You know, both at Arsenal and Manchester United. I mean, we've talked about him many times on the podcast, but he was a very, very good finisher. I think the best one was definitely that. ball from Rooney over the shoulder and that first time volley. That was left foot, wasn't it?

Chapter 5: What challenges do Alan and Micah face during the quiz?

1216.764 - 1229.294 Unknown

Yeah, I think that's fair. I think it's one of those things where because we're in an era of social media, And when you're a big lad up front, if you don't get hold of the ball, people just call you a donkey, don't they?

0

1229.735 - 1230.838 Alan Shearer

He was definitely not that.

0

1231.239 - 1238.234 Unknown

All the memes going around about him wearing Timbaland boots, similar with Jokeres earlier on in the season until they won the league.

0

1238.936 - 1257.276 Alan Shearer

Can I tell you the people that do that though, Micah? are people that generally are probably not very good at football. You have no idea how good you have to be to be in the Premier League, let alone in the Premier League's top 10 left-footed goalscorers.

0

1258.557 - 1265.124 Unknown

Yeah, I like it. But in terms of, if you speak to people who have played the game, I think he's got his respect.

1265.444 - 1267.026 Alan Shearer

I agree. So what's the number?

1267.428 - 1269.591 Unknown

So Mahrez was 59, we said.

1269.631 - 1270.772 Alan Shearer

No, Mahrez was 62.

1271.073 - 1272.615 Unknown

Oh, 62, sorry.

Chapter 6: How do the players' performances impact the quiz outcome?

2177.614 - 2178.816 Alan Shearer

Goodbye from me.

0

2178.836 - 2180.959 Micah Richards

Goodbye from me. Goodbye from me.
