Are Arsenal's tactics becoming too defensive?
They've been absolutely incredible.
They are brave goals, they are. Great goals. Talking about someone who's scored, TT's just rang me for a debrief. Thierry Henry!
Thierry Henry! Thierry Henry! Thierry Henry! We're talking Arsenal. What does he know about Arsenal? Arsenal. I mean... Squeaky bum. Squeaky arse. No time, Alex.
Would you give him the job, Al?
Can Michael Carrick guide Manchester United into the Champions League?
That's the question. Newcastle didn't have the quality in the final third to upset them. Don't start giggling, Micah. Don't start giggling.
How do you set up for a game? Do you think he can remember? What do you mean? Can you walk us through the emotions of how you exactly failed?
What's this, to take the piss out of Al five minutes, is it?
I watch, honestly, every game possible. I've got no life.
You must have some life if you've got time to go and find those stupid fucking boots you're wearing.
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. Hello, chaps. How are we doing?
What makes Unai Emery's tactics effective for Aston Villa?
How are we? We're doing pretty well. Thank you very much. Micah, you've had a busy day. Alan, you were doing Match of the Day yesterday. I didn't think I'd see you on yesterday. There was only five games, but there you were.
Yeah, I did yesterday. Yeah, I was at the Newcastle game today and then just got home and then watched Big Mix on television.
It was a strange result, to say the least.
we'll come to that but firstly those boots you're wearing was it a big climb up to get to where you had and you just put hiking boots on or I've got some like that I walk the dog when I walk the dog I've had so many messages.
Have you?
I'm not surprised. What on God's earth have you got on your feet?
How is Arsenal's forward line performing this season?
They're not the one point I thought they might be. You know when you go ten pin bowling? Those big tube things you put on with the laces and stuff.
You know what?
If you've not seen them, I'll get them open.
I've seen them. I've seen everyone take the piss out of them. Were they green, aren't they? Did they match? Did they have green trousers on as well? Oh, they're actually quite nice.
A little bit, yeah. I actually think they're quite nice. They are. They're great for walking the dog.
What challenges does Newcastle face this season?
Made them up in the fucking 60s. Did you have to abseil down the Emirates or something? I thought I'd mix it up every now and then. What about how Patrick and Roy were together?
You know what? I thought there was going to be a little bit more needle, but they've worked together at ITV before.
And before that, Mike, I don't know whether you know, but you know, Tony, my partner, before we joined up as a production company, made the documentary called Keenan Vieira, Best of Enemies. Have you ever seen it? I've saw it, yeah.
I watched it, yeah.
Very, very good. Very good. How are they?
All right.
How are Liverpool's recent performances affecting their title hopes?
Patrick's lovely, though, isn't he? Oh, he's so elegant, isn't he? Everything that he says is just so measured and thought out, knows exactly what he's talking about, can do the tactical side, can have fun, can give opinion. I told him, you need to come on the pod in the summer.
Does he want to get back in, Mike, or is he happy doing the TV?
No, he wants to get back in. So how was Match of the Day yesterday, Al?
Match of the Day was good, yeah. As you're right, you see, there was only five games. There was only three to watch at three o'clock and then the late one was Liverpool. But yeah, it was a good day, yeah. Really good, enjoyed it. A few goals, exciting match.
Yeah, in fact, I would say it's been a hell of a week of Premier League football and there's much for us to discuss. This episode of The Rest Is Football is powered by our new presenting partners, Fuse Energy.
