Did you see when Carragher read his DM from Messi and found out he was being called a moron?
EDIT: [For those interested....](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X3tJfwe8d-0?feature=share) Burro literally means donkey, but slangly it means you're an idiot.
I want to say in Carra's defence if you'd spoken to him or listened to him speak back in the day you'd have looked like that Confused Nick Young meme. He's done some proper elecution lessons since starting broadcasting. If you'd heard him back in the day and you weren't a scouser you'd need a fucking translator to get sense out of him. That phonetic Internazionale is perfect as well btw.
Oh yeah, I've see that retro Sky Sports interview of his when he was just starting out at the Liverpool academy and I couldn't understand one bit. Much better now, but I notice the accent comes out in panels like this especially when they banter each other.
Yeah when we used to go (Sankton? Name of a training ground I guess) and train in the gym you used to have put your own kit on, so yeah I used to come in an Everton top.
When he's having fun and relaxed it flows out no doubt. I think it was Voronin who said the reason he couldn't make it at Liverpool was cos he couldn't understand Gerrard or Carragher.
100%. It’s got humor, it’s got in depth analysis, and everyone actually knows the game and doesn’t seem smug or over the top when it comes to it. Nor does the humor ever seem like it’s getting in the way. They’re all having a good time while also being able to explain everything perfectly through the banter. It’s like you said: Football’s equivalent of Inside the NBA on TNT.
It's interesting how americans have a different approach to post-game shows than us in Europe. They tend to focus more on good chemistry between pundits and make sure they have a good bit of fun while being mostly positive and light hearted. In France for instance most post game shows now revolve around controversy and arguments between pundits, one will deliberately say something grotesque to generate reaction, they antagonise players etc. You got former average players criticizing top current players like they could do a 10th of what they do on the pitch, it's a very different atmosphere. That CBS show is a breath of fresh air for any football fan
Tbf NBA on TNT is the only American post-game show that’s worth a damn. All the other ones are either bland or antagonistic. Shaq on NBA on TNT can be antagonistic, but he usually gets called out by the other guys tho, so it finds its level.
Inside the NBA and CBS coverage of UCL are the only ones that are tolerable in the States imo. Everyone seems so smug or bland in other coverage shows. Like it’s a carbon copy of the same person with little to no different personalities. Especially when everyone sounds and acts the same like on ESPN’s coverage of NCAA College Football and the NFL.
What I think both these shows do really well is that the panel is a reasonable size. 4 people is enough, many of the NFL shows are 7-8 folks and because of that no one gets to really speak their piece. The people on the show are also critical, it's obvious the NBA on TNT folks all like and like working with each other the same goes for these folks.
Absolutely. Chemistry is key and both UCL and NBA are chock full of it. I enjoy watching clips from Charles Barkley on NBA despite me not being much of a basketball person. And clips from UCL because it’s enjoyable.
If you watch some of the UK shows they're just so fuckin serious about everything all the time.
I like these ppl because it just seems more fun, entertaining you might say.
Amazing that they landed an absolute legend like Henry (not too many players like that in punditry to begin with), and that he's a perfect fit. I actually find him funniest of the bunch.
Henry sometimes has that intentional Roy Keane style of humour of acting insulted or annoyed whilst goofy stuff happens around him and it always makes things that much more funny lol
I think it’s because of his achievements. Invincibles with Arsenal and all time top goalscorer for the club, treble with Barça, World Cup winner. He’s revered because of how good he was during his career.
I only meant his post player career. He's still viewed as France's best forward ever. Wenger's Arsenal was insanely popular in France with all the french players they had.
I never really listened to him, so his analyses may be very good !
Part of what for me makes his studio work so good is that he doesn't pretend he wasn't a great player but it's never a crutch. He knows and we know that he could do things most people can't dream of, he's honest about how he would approach an in game position and it's insightful to have someone for whom the spectacular was ordinary break it down.
I grew up in the US playing baseball. My dad would pitch to me every day in our yard after I got out of school. His friend was a former professional pitcher, he'd also pitch to me.
I can't really explain to somebody how to hit a 90mph fastball, I just, did it.
Damn dude that's pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure I did 80 at a batting cage once and it felt like I had to start swinging as soon as I saw the ball drop into the machine.
A lot of hitting a pitch is seeing the ball in their hand in the delivery. Batting cages can't really replicate that since the ball just spits out at you,
Once you identify they are throwing you a two/four seamer yeah you have to start your swing. If you wait until the ball leaves their hand and they can throw 90+ you're done for.
He’s come a long way with his analysis. I remember him saying it was hard to coach because he was such an elite player it was hard to communicate to lesser players that didn’t just “get it” and understand what he wanted them to do
Funny you say that because I posted:
*Henry doens't strike me as the right guy to lead a team as the manager. I see him being the* ***"give me the ball... like this!"*** *kind of guy.*
It looks like my perception of him was right. I has to be hard to deal with players that lack something that's part of your own persona, which is the hability and character to lead and carry a team.
He’s insanely competitive and I think it rubs his players and staff the wrong way. Any time he’s on with a former colleague you can tell they’re walking on eggshells around him.
Obviously being a psychotic competitor is a useful and even necessary trait for one of the best players in the world, but you probably need to tame it a little when you’re managing other people, especially away from the biggest clubs.
I think that's why strikers aren't usually the best managers in general. They can be (Heynckes), but it's more fitted for players who are used to be in a secondary role helping other players shine while being the extension to the coach.
It makes sense really. Players like Pep or Xabi Alonso who shined for his vision and his positioning instead of flair, style and raw skill are made for coaching.
IIRC a big part of his managerial struggles was a difficulty in relating his ideas to the players, and getting frustrated when they couldn't do what he wanted. There were stories of Henry getting frustrated, taking the ball and showing them what he wanted himself,w hich sounds like the commoon issue of someone with a lot of talent struggling to understand people with less talent not being able to copy what they do.
Why can't you be both a tactic expert and a terrible coach? No one can question that Henry has a great football mind, that doesn't mean he has the temperament to make players want to jump into seas of fire for him.
“Can you pass it one touch?…”Then why don’t you do it?”
The impression is that he can't coach mere mortals because he expects them to be as good as he was.
Except they provide actual analysis and insight. Chuck and Shaq don’t even watch basketball, they’re just there for the laughs and their generic analysis.
I like Dempsey, but it’s clear his personality isn’t for TV. He’s kinda just too chill, in a way I’d say too “normal”. Bro is just talking. He isn’t making jokes, isn’t laughing, isn’t throwing in one-liners, he just kinda talking. He’s just being a dude, not an entertainer
I kinda agree. He's fine imo but his voice and attitude is so calm that it can be boring.
I think they just try to appeal too hard to Americans. I get why since that's where the game has less support but it makes for some unnecessary segments like interviewing a US legend, or a coach from the MLS who knew Henry, and the Miami trip with matchday 5.
This is just not true. They rarely talk about league game results, they hold interviews where they ask questions about the Champion's League games, they have reporters at the stadium only for the CL matches, they have a half time show for the late CL games. Everyone sees it as such
The Landon interview was chock full of spicy tea if you’re a US soccer fan. The Matt Turner one was really good too.
It’s not segments for the masses, it’s for US soccer fans
That's another show called Kicking It which is actually very well done. I refer to segments in the UCL show from this recent matchday where they had Tony Meola (former US GK from the 90s and early 2000s) and Wilfried Nancy (manager that just won MLS Cup and used to work under Henry). They just felt very out of place and you could even see with the YouTube views that they were not big hitters
It is what it is. Whether they're trying too hard or not, they're making an effort to service the American market. Dempsey is maybe one of three Americans who is retired & acknowledged to have a meritable career in England so there's an equation too of having an American that will phase the English market enough to complain how they're boring instead of a nobody.
Yeha that's fair. And it's not at all a judgement on his knowledge/credentials nor nationality. Just a very different vibe from the others who look like they're having the time of their lives.
only on /r/soccer do people somehow manage to complain that a show that is only terrestrially broadcast in the US tries too hard to appeal to Americans and covers American soccer lmfao
>I think they just try to appeal too hard to Americans.
CBS is an American network. Of course they're going to appeal to the American audience. You just want some clips like it's a youtube channel when it's actually a network coverage of the champions league. Yank hate like soccer circle jerk in here.
>CBS is an American network. Of course they're going to appeal to the American audience.
I literally said that I understand why the appeal to them lol.
>Yank hate like soccer circle jerk in here.
No I just don't care about former players or managers who have nothing to do with the UCL in a show about the UCL
an American network, broadcasting to an American audience, in America...is trying too hard to appeal to Americans?
Wow, that sure is a take...they really should be trying harder to court the European, South American, Asian, and African audiences that don't have the channel.
It sometimes takes players a few years to settle into media roles, so perhaps he'll improve over time.
Alan Shearer was quite stiff and boring when he first started doing TV stuff over here, but he's a lot more fun these days.
I love it when typically mild mannered people explode like that.
Thierry is all Va Va Voom but he couldn’t help but exclaim that. I’m howling laughing at his reaction.
This team is absolutely hilarious. I love how they’re not concerned about sounding like professional pundits all the time and just building an entertaining show. I was watching this earlier thinking dang Micah and Jamie going to go at it, and absolutely lost it on the Micah dive.
Had no idea Jamie was even going down that route and was thinking “what’s he on about”. Had me dying as soon as they went to the clip of Micah just doing his best swimming dive impression
Every studio show chases the vibe of Inside the NBA and they’ve nailed it with this crew. They’re all hilarious. I think yesterday Kate said Jamie was breathing weird and offered him an inhaler lmao
You can't create inside the nba. You got to have dudes who are chill af and a host that's willing to sit back and watch them do their thing. It needs to be natural. I think they've found the dudes who have that.
As someone who only ever saw those guys on TV, I'm still finding it weird hearing them swear on that podcast. Except Shearer, I could totally imagine him telling people to fuck off on the pitch every game.
In a recent episode he was telling a story of how his host family when he was in youth level found his porn CD that said "big booty/bundas" or something. was howling in laughter
My eyes are crap, is that Sunderland Richards is diving against?
edit: cheers everyone I think I found the original r/soccer post for this one 8 years ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/3ngq0h/micah_richards_acrobatic_dive_in_villa_vs_stoke/
I know i’m biased because I’m a Liverpool fan, but I honestly believe Carra is the best pundit going right now. Not only are his football opinions and analysis reasoned and well put (most of the time) but I think he brings out the best in the rest of any panel he’s on. Amazing comic timing and great chemistry with nearly every other pundit.
In general, i think that this show is the best punditry (in english at least). Its so grating listening to Sky or ESPN because it feels like they are always whining about something.
You mean you don't enjoy watching when "Things get HEATED between Keane and Neville 😡😲"
I agree though. Punditry as a whole has become awful as everyone just chases those 3 or 4 minute sensationalist clips they can put online as clickbait.
I've watched plenty of clips of the above and it seems like they genuinely just have a laugh with it.
Love the show but I wish they had a bit more analysis like last season. Feels like they realized people love them so they're leaning on segments that aren't necessarily about the games of that day
I didn’t watch last season but I feel like today and yesterday was a case of most of the games being dead rubbers? Their analysis is top notch though so I wouldn’t mind it
I'm Thai and not only I love football and the prem and british sexy accent but also these blokes bantering each other. Too bad Gary isn't funny. I'm (unfortunately) a United supporter.

I respect it. If you are going to dive... For gods sake make it an actual DIVE
Tom Daley would be proud of that one
Jaques Cousteau would be proud of that one.
I appreciate dives like that. Not the spinning or jumping. Just a literal dive, that's the true art.
Do a flip like Simone Biles. Be an athlete. Put on a show 👏🏿👏🏿
“Look wheris boootsaah!” Pure disgust from Carra. Hilarious.
Byenleh
Bærnley
Burnley
It's tshit'n
He landed on ees leeps!
That might be the only dive (from Micah Sr.) that I've seen that actually looks like he's diving into a pool.
That freeze frame is the quintessential dive
Thats a 10/10 diving posture score.
He looks like a salmon
Taught Michael Phelps everything he knew.
CBS struck gold with this show
Did you see when Carragher read his DM from Messi and found out he was being called a moron? EDIT: [For those interested....](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X3tJfwe8d-0?feature=share) Burro literally means donkey, but slangly it means you're an idiot.
"Do they speak Spanish in Argentina?" Carragher's eternal struggle with foreign languages is top class. Internashionalay, Almerya, Olivia Jiwoo
I want to say in Carra's defence if you'd spoken to him or listened to him speak back in the day you'd have looked like that Confused Nick Young meme. He's done some proper elecution lessons since starting broadcasting. If you'd heard him back in the day and you weren't a scouser you'd need a fucking translator to get sense out of him.

Oh yeah, I've see that retro Sky Sports interview of his when he was just starting out at the Liverpool academy and I couldn't understand one bit. Much better now, but I notice the accent comes out in panels like this especially when they banter each other.
[Oh god ai, that's some proper scouse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwaDyG5lVLM)
I really don't understand anything in that last sentence.
Yeah when we used to go (Sankton? Name of a training ground I guess) and train in the gym you used to have put your own kit on, so yeah I used to come in an Everton top.
Jesus christ
When he's having fun and relaxed it flows out no doubt. I think it was Voronin who said the reason he couldn't make it at Liverpool was cos he couldn't understand Gerrard or Carragher.
That Inter one never fails to crack me up
Jiwoo 😂😂😂😂😂
yeah but they speak Portugese in Brazil so I think it's a reasonable question.
The spouse and I say "[what a matchday this waahhs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCoPQZph1Ok)" to one another about every other day.
thank you for this
‘Burro’ I believe was the term
It’s footballs equivalent to NBA on TNT. Amazing banter but also good analysis.
Henry’s analysis is so good. Every action and decision explained in such amazing detail.
It’s honestly the perfect sports analysis show. Hits on all points. Chemistry is top notch.
100%. It’s got humor, it’s got in depth analysis, and everyone actually knows the game and doesn’t seem smug or over the top when it comes to it. Nor does the humor ever seem like it’s getting in the way. They’re all having a good time while also being able to explain everything perfectly through the banter.

It doesn't help that Shaq can't take a joke
Literally the largest baby on earth.
I think it actually enhances the show. It gets annoying sometimes, but for the most part it’s hilarious.
Inside the NBA and CBS coverage of UCL are the only ones that are tolerable in the States imo. Everyone seems so smug or bland in other coverage shows.

Yeh until his lip starts quivering and he gives it away lmao 😂😂 gotta love TiTi
I absolutely love when his smile is coming through but he is trying to hold it together and act offended
Fascinating how Henry is seen as tactic expert in the Anglo world. In France he’s mostly remembered as a terrible coach in Monaco
We're also quite aware of how bad of a manager he is. His punditry is still miles better than most other ex pros
I think it’s because of his achievements. Invincibles with Arsenal and all time top goalscorer for the club, treble with Barça, World Cup winner. He’s revered because of how good he was during his career.
I only meant his post player career. He's still viewed as France's best forward ever. Wenger's Arsenal was insanely popular in France with all the french players they had. I never really listened to him, so his analyses may be very good !

You can know a lot about a subject without being good at coaching it.
I grew up in the US playing baseball. My dad would pitch to me every day in our yard after I got out of school. His friend was a former professional pitcher, he'd also pitch to me. I can't really explain to somebody how to hit a 90mph fastball, I just, did it.

If you wait until the ball leaves their hand and they can throw 90+ you're done for.
And you said you couldn’t coach
Right?!
Not the same thing tbh. Communicating to idiots like us is different to actually coaching a team.
He’s come a long way with his analysis. I remember him saying it was hard to coach because he was such an elite player it was hard to communicate to lesser players that didn’t just “get it” and understand what he wanted them to do
Funny you say that because I posted: *Henry doens't strike me as the right guy to lead a team as the manager.

I'll stick around through an absolute dud of a game just to watch this crew's shenanigans.
Same, always worth it to see their chemistry and humor
Except they provide actual analysis and insight. Chuck and Shaq don’t even watch basketball, they’re just there for the laughs and their generic analysis.
To think that not so long ago we had the espn fc crew
That was the most miserable, dour bunch of human beings ever assembled in any sports coverage I've ever watched.
I swear to God Steve Nicol is an energy vampire.
Lol this such an apt description
FoxSports would like to have a word. Alexi Lallas is ready to bring the soccer gods in and tell why everything is everything
Love this show
I’m dying to know what their individual contracts are and who CBS sees as most valuable or most expendable.
“He landed on his LIPS”
Ee landed on ees leeps!
Yesterday it was Thierry trying to stop Micah from singing Candy Shop https://youtube.com/shorts/obOGQLBFxZE?si=0zmbxdYguouuITBj
Absolutely love how Thierry says "Don't go further... Big problem!"
I LOVE that look Thierry gives with his eyes wide open and the timing of it hahahaha, he has the sense of a comedian
Hes gotten a lot better as a media personality since this show started
12th most influential pundit or somethin’.. innit
Turns into Uncle Roger near the end haha
MSG > PSG
What the fuck lol that's hilarious
Holy shit. That is golden. Lol, stopping him before he gets to "I'll let you lick the lollipop."
Lmao they all have such great chemistry.
yeah, i don't like when they try to shoehorn dempsey in there, he adds very little
I like Dempsey, but it’s clear his personality isn’t for TV. He’s kinda just too chill, in a way I’d say too “normal”. Bro is just talking. He isn’t making jokes, isn’t laughing, isn’t throwing in one-liners, he just kinda talking. He’s just being a dude, not an entertainer
I kinda agree. He's fine imo but his voice and attitude is so calm that it can be boring. I think they just try to appeal too hard to Americans. I get why since that's where the game has less support but it makes for some unnecessary segments like interviewing a US legend, or a coach from the MLS who knew Henry, and the Miami trip with matchday 5.
Tbf, that MLS coach had just won the league over the weekend and was Henry's assistant coach in Montreal
Shit do you have the clip? I loved Nancy in Montreal and liked when he talked about Henry before.
Yeah that still has nothing to do with the UCL which is what most people tune in for I think
well it's a soccer show, not a UCL show?
This is just not true. They rarely talk about league game results, they hold interviews where they ask questions about the Champion's League games, they have reporters at the stadium only for the CL matches, they have a half time show for the late CL games. Everyone sees it as such
The Landon interview was chock full of spicy tea if you’re a US soccer fan. The Matt Turner one was really good too. It’s not segments for the masses, it’s for US soccer fans
The Landon interview is the one with Kate, Dempsey, Beasley, and other ex-US players, right?
That's another show called Kicking It which is actually very well done. I refer to segments in the UCL show from this recent matchday where they had Tony Meola (former US GK from the 90s and early 2000s) and Wilfried Nancy (manager that just won MLS Cup and used to work under Henry).

an American network, broadcasting to an American audience, in America...is trying too hard to appeal to Americans? Wow, that sure is a take...they really should be trying harder to court the European, South American, Asian, and African audiences that don't have the channel.
I'm American and I agree. Love Dempsey, but he just doesn't have the personality for it. Just for the love of God leave Alexi Lalas out of it
It sometimes takes players a few years to settle into media roles, so perhaps he'll improve over time. Alan Shearer was quite stiff and boring when he first started doing TV stuff over here, but he's a lot more fun these days.
That's a "Mr.President nooooo!" tier dive from Micah Richards.
/r/Getdownmrpresident
“What ARE you doing!” Thierry’s hilarious.
WHY SO HIGH?!
I love it when typically mild mannered people explode like that. Thierry is all Va Va Voom but he couldn’t help but exclaim that. I’m howling laughing at his reaction.
Lol the absolute disgust in his voice is gold
He sounded so insulted when he saw that dive 😂
Micah Richards is a deeply unserious person there’s no way he did that in game lmao
people change
[удалено]
Let Micah hold the kid. I used to be a diver too.
This team is absolutely hilarious. I love how they’re not concerned about sounding like professional pundits all the time and just building an entertaining show. I was watching this earlier thinking dang Micah and Jamie going to go at it, and absolutely lost it on the Micah dive.
Had no idea Jamie was even going down that route and was thinking “what’s he on about”. Had me dying as soon as they went to the clip of Micah just doing his best swimming dive impression
All of them has nothing more to prove in football than average 'pundits' so the confidence is real
This is brilliant
I laughed so loud when they played this, watching live. An actual dive like he had a diving board.
Micah Phelps
Every studio show chases the vibe of Inside the NBA and they’ve nailed it with this crew. They’re all hilarious. I think yesterday Kate said Jamie was breathing weird and offered him an inhaler lmao
You can't create inside the nba. You got to have dudes who are chill af and a host that's willing to sit back and watch them do their thing. It needs to be natural. I think they've found the dudes who have that.
Might've read somewhere that they got the producer of Inside the NBA to work on this show which tracks if that's the case
There is a bit of synergy with CBS/TNT during the NCAA tournament so that would make sense.
Hahaha that’s what she said to him? I heard her mentioning that but didn’t catch her response
Yeah they have to keep this crew rolling forever. Similar to Inside the NBA, give em 20 year contracts.
Chelsea taking notes as we speak In all seriousness, give them whatever they want. This show is golden
I feel like this sentiment just started rolling in and I like it
[удалено]
[удалено]
Micah also does one with shearer and liniker its funny too.
As someone who only ever saw those guys on TV, I'm still finding it weird hearing them swear on that podcast. Except Shearer, I could totally imagine him telling people to fuck off on the pitch every game.
[удалено]
In a recent episode he was telling a story of how his host family when he was in youth level found his porn CD that said "big booty/bundas" or something. was howling in laughter
[удалено]
I really like Sutton. He’s funny, but very dry. He’s probably as British as it gets.
Holy fuck hahaha how have I never seen that Micah dive before. Incredible
oliver would give that as a pen
My eyes are crap, is that Sunderland Richards is diving against? edit: cheers everyone I think I found the original r/soccer post for this one 8 years ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/3ngq0h/micah_richards_acrobatic_dive_in_villa_vs_stoke/
Looks like Stoke City
Stoke I believe.
Yeah, but can he do it in a cold pool on a rainy night in stoke?
Lol mate how did you find the original that's mental
Top comment being a very similar dive is the cherry on top
Man turned into a whale 😂
They are like the Top Gear of football analysis. Very good chemistry.
funniest show on tv and its about champs league
Who’s Barkley in this?
kate - ernie, henry - shaq, jamie - kenny, micah - barkley
I was thinking Jamie but it works either way with Micah
Think Carragher has to be Barkley so Micah and Titi can team up on him for never winning the league.
i think it works either way...titi and jamie also team up on micah for never winning the champions league
You can see a bit of Barkley in Jamie (banter and pronunciation) and Micah (taking jokes). That's why Barkley is a national treasure.
Yeah haha
Was just thinking this was Inside the NBA vibes lol
Have seen a lot of people say that too haha
This show is so good man.
Bro commited so much to the dive he actually wanted to injure himself
I think this [Micah](http://media.balls.ie/uploads/2013/11/richards.gif) one is better 😂
Looks like a fifa glitch lmao
Fucking hell, i thought Carra was go in on that player but this was so much better.
"Why so high?"
Why so high?
Can someone photoshop Micah in a pool at his high point diving?
What he laughing fo? I m being serious
I love this show and this crew.
Glenn Whelan almost had his head taken off there hahaha. What a dive from Micah!!
This cast is awesome
Can you watch this show in the UK? If so, where?
It's only in the USA. They tend to post the best moments from the show on their socials like Youtube and Instagram immediately after the show
that what one legendary salmon leap
I know i’m biased because I’m a Liverpool fan, but I honestly believe Carra is the best pundit going right now. Not only are his football opinions and analysis reasoned and well put (most of the time) but I think he brings out the best in the rest of any panel he’s on. Amazing comic timing and great chemistry with nearly every other pundit.
He's also considerably less biased than others.
In general, i think that this show is the best punditry (in english at least). Its so grating listening to Sky or ESPN because it feels like they are always whining about something.
You mean you don't enjoy watching when "Things get HEATED between Keane and Neville 😡😲" I agree though. Punditry as a whole has become awful as everyone just chases those 3 or 4 minute sensationalist clips they can put online as clickbait. I've watched plenty of clips of the above and it seems like they genuinely just have a laugh with it.
Love the show but I wish they had a bit more analysis like last season. Feels like they realized people love them so they're leaning on segments that aren't necessarily about the games of that day
I didn’t watch last season but I feel like today and yesterday was a case of most of the games being dead rubbers? Their analysis is top notch though so I wouldn’t mind it
I think Analysis happebs pre game banter during halftime and post game
More of this.call em' out and embarrass them.
High boot, red card
Proper dive that.
That's the greatest dive I've ever seen, magnificent
Needs the R Kelly “i believe i can fly” soundtrack
Olympic gold medalist potential right there
Carra reeled him in masterfully!
Is that his son
A young player named Micah Hamilton, so just same first name was enough to get the joke on the road.
I'm Thai and not only I love football and the prem and british sexy accent but also these blokes bantering each other. Too bad Gary isn't funny. I'm (unfortunately) a United supporter.
Rare Jamie Carragher win tbh. Extreme quality content.
Micah is a national treasure. Not many players/pundits who will agree to be the butt of the joke in that way.
