"What's that on the floor. Is it a straw? Cling to it". I nearly died. Simon is the G.O.A.T

" If he didn't have any oil, he'd be President of nothing " Yep that one got me :-) :-)

Tactical analysis from the studio at half time beats any other half time show.

The fact that the superbowl needs a half time show to get people to watch it says everything you need know about how entertaining the NFL is

Simon is on point. There is no way the super bowl is a bigger show than the UCL final. Not today, not tomorrow or ever. Champions league will always be a bigger show.

“Shoving hotdogs down their throats dawn til dusk” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you hear the numbers, the whole debate just falls apart 🤣

I watch the Champions League final for the game. During half time I’ll have a piss and make a drink ready for it to restart. Unless my team is involved and wins I switch off when the final whistle blows. If I have to sit there for an extra hour or so I probably wouldn’t bother unless I had a horse in the race.

Simon ur the G.O.A.T!!! Champions League final doesn't NEED anymore additional entertainment. THE MATCH ITSELF IS THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT TO WATCH!

“Get on with your manufactured club” 🤣 Simon Jordan should have his own TV show!

A half time show , get Simon and Trevor in the ring for ten minutes. That would be worth the money for the ticket alone.

"If there wasn't any oil he would be the president of nothing" classic

Potentially one of Simon's greatest moments. Jim is talking shite

The guy from PSG even said at the same time that this years super bowl had 112m global viewers and the last CL final had over 700m so yeah as Simon alluded to, what exactly is his point 😂

If they made it into a 3-hour event with a song and dance show before, during and after the game, I'd record it and watch it later, fast-forwarding through the Las Vegas bits.

I prefer football then a circus ,,yanks can keep it over there

Honest as allways, thats why Simon is the People's Champ 👏

People watch the superbowl for the ads and the halftime show.... people watch the champions league final for the football. We watch the CL final to see the 2 best teams in Europe battle for the trophy, that's it.

Ffs leave football alone and DO NOT AMERICANISE IT🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ "And it's the 1st corner of the match here.....and it's brought to you, sponsored by McDonald's"🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This is one of my favourite segments from the show after listening for 3 years. Hilarious from both sides well done

" Get on with your manufactured club" ROFL... Savaged

I'll be honest- The one time I watched the Super Bowl. I was bored out of my mind. So many breaks in play. 20 mins of actual sport over 3 hours.

The Super Bowl halftime show usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes - twice as long as a normal NFL game.

Simon right again here. Keep all this Americanised, hand egg crap out!

Literally the best part of the day these two!

As if European football hasn’t been Americanised enough

I'm South African and have zero intention to watch super bowl, I'm cool with football and it's format

Silly, tacky idea. Only people who would benefit from a half-time song and dance at half time during a CL final is half of the United dressing room. And they aren't going to appear in any finals for a while. However, they could pilot the idea for the Conference League Final

Listening to Roy and chums at half time is all the entertainment I need thank you very much

LIverpool vs United and El Clasico games in the regular league season can often get even more global viewers than the CL final

We dont need any superbowl half time we are more than happy juz to watch the most beautiful game in the world........

Absolutely loved this!

If my team are 1-0 down in the CL final against another English club and then Dojo cat and taylor swift come on and start doing tiktok dance songs I’m turning it off

I just love these guys

The sport of Football is entertainment, it doesn't need all this half-time entertainment rubbish to prop it up. If the NFL needs a halftime show to make it a more entertaining watch then good for it, but this is football, the greatest game on Earth. You wanna make it a bigger event - make it free to watch on all TV channels and streaming services. You get more people tuning in, more opportunity for Ad revenue etc.

Love These Two.

As an american all i can say is ugh, i fell in love with football because its nothing like the soulless, business first ‘franchise’ model of american sports. Every time i hear about an american ownership trying to enter the premier league i get a sinking feeling. Americans care about two things, themselves and money, you do not want to get into bed with them.

Simon is basically right … one off the reasons the super bowl is so huge (as it is but not a patch on cl final) both inside America and outside is 1… it’s as popular in yank culture (even not including the halftime show) as the fa cup final was in English culture was pre 92/premier league /multi tv channels was. …2 it’s the only Huge sports final in America sports in the sense off the best team on the day takes it all… as the other 3 traditional big four us team sports basketball baseball and ice hockey all play best off 7 games series and each other’s stadiums … and even if they are tied 3 games each and head into winners take all game 7 it’s still not at a neutral site and it’s a home vs away team .… 3 …yes the super bowl show is huge and the only point sports and music really cross over but as good as it is necessitates a halftime interval that is longer (maybe twice as long? Nfl super fans will know) as ever single other nfl game full stop. I for one don’t want a halftime interval a minute longer then every single other game played in the same season and finally 4… if we really went for it like the super bowl does it will only be a matter off time until both “shows” will be poorer for the tit for tat competition and comparison for music talent … the absolute most I’ll go for is a local group in general area off the final who is world famous maybe go into the centre circle and play 2 songs for the crowd … or much better play BEFORE the game … but even that would annoy me if you want a gig … go to a festival and/or concert … 5…… in this current age if we were ever graced with another musical god with say the talent off a prince or Michael Jackson … nobody would really watch … but would instead be filming with their smartphones …so I really believe in the long run football is better off without halftime shows … best to say them for World Cup and euros opening ceremonies before 1st tournament matches so only 1 every two years 👍

I love this😂😂

Simon spot on as per

The World Cup final would be a better fit for a half time show....Summer tournaments are bit more of a party... The UCL is different... Its more serious.. more about taking care of business... No time for Ed Sheeran on his banjo.

Great lets have the president of a club that never won the cup suggest how we should change the final. Simon on point with his take.

'If there wasn't any oil, he wouldn't be President of anything' 😂😂 golden from SJ

Jim, the reason why the super bowl needs a half time show spectacle is because the actual sporting event is drab. Superbowl is a concert + commercial opportunity first, sporting spectacle second. The super bowl only seems big because America can promote it through their media outlets. Like saying they are world champions for American Football or Baseball... Go anywhere in the world (Africa, Asia, South America, etc.), they will talk about the CL final. Ask them about the superbowl, they will talk about the half-time show.

Big up Simon! Wouldn’t be surprised if this is on Laporta’s and Perez’s new super league draw up

2:46 This man is a legend.

100% right here Simon.

100m people aren’t watch the SuperSalad. 39m watch it in the US, perhaps 10m world wide. The rest are skewed. If a tv in an airport/large screen billboard shows the SB and 100k people walk past. That adds to the tally. Lol

You forgot to put CLASH in capital letters. Yours sincerely, Sky Sports.

100% right, Simon. Intelligent football fans don’t need half time tinsel. We’ll be discussing how many more goals Liverpool is going to score in the 2nd half. Yes, Simon, the Paris SG guy IS an idiot. And so is Jim.

big European football fan here in the states. the only way to watch American football is DVR ,watch it later & zip thru the ads .. because it is unwatchable brutal 3.5 hours of non-stop commercials

The 2021 Champions league final had 700M viewers worldwide, the Super Bowl barely over 100M, it doesn’t have to “feel” bigger to be bigger Mr Khelaifi

I don’t often agree with Simon but he was spot on there. Jim didn’t have an argument or a leg to stand on. UCL is far, far bigger in every metric than the “Super Bowel”. Financials, viewership, prestige, product, you name it, the UCL comes out ahead. If you want to go to a concert, go to a concert, don’t go to the Champions League final. Or, sure, go to the Super Bowel for the half time show… I guess it is the only part worth watching.

Totally and fully support Simon ,American culture what do they know about soccer. They still call it football.

So heres how we in north america treat the superbowl. Its pretty much a holiday for a whole week, all of the major media networks and sports radio fly into the host city and make a big spectacle of the festivities around the big game, we hype it up. Comparable to boca vs river plate, real vs barca. The game itself isnt much....i understand where this psg guy is getting at. The champions leage final needs a week long hype train! Im all for it!

Owner of PSG chatting about what should happen at half-time during the final of the Champions League... They should concentrate on getting to one first! 😂😂

7:52 Jim you could be in the front...SIMON THE G.O.A.T!!!! JIM NEGATIVE I.Q AS ALWAYS...

90 plus percent of the Super Bowl audience is in North America, the CL clubs these days invariably have a huge global following. No contest unless the NFL can massively increase its non US and Canadian audience. They’d probably need a London franchise to even think about competing with the UCL Final in the long run to increase interest.

I have a cabbage in the fridge. Useful as a replacement host

Jim ‘Yankee’ White. Simon tore him a new one. Why are we OBSESSED with Americanising everything. We do everything sport related better with more authenticity.

According to this thing called Google, The 2021 Champions League final was watched by 700 million people versus 112 million who watched the 2022 Super Bowl ( 96 million in 2021 ). Anyone who watched the Super Bowl and read between the lines would know that the majority of the 112 million was in the US. The so-called global audience of the Super Bowl was made up of US service men and women watching from military bases in Germany, etc. Whenever the Super Bowl broadcast panned overseas to show their so-called "global audience" it was always their troops in foreign countries unlike the Champions League, World Cup and even Premier League where you get people watching live from Europe, Asia, Africa and the America's at crazy local times. I remember watching weekday Champions League games at 3am in Thailand, Philippines and Hong Kong at 24 hour bars and I was not the only crazy at that time in the bar watching.

Can’t imagine this happening

I cant believe Simon has to work with this. Hes go to speak to him like a kid to get a simple point across.

Agreed the CL should find a way to be even bigger then already is but the Superbowl may attract 80k people in physical attendance compared to CL attendance The only reason the Superbowl went up 16% because they signed 4 superstar musicians Kendrick Lamar is questionable because of his music but ayy go otherwise attendance would be different also Superbowl style in CL final will not catch on for Europe

Whats that on the floor🤣🤣

Noone wants a half time show I'm just waiting for football at halftime I don't want no show delaying that next thing they'll be spamming us with ads every throw in 😂😂

If there wasn’t any oil, he’d be the president of nothing 😆

SJ. "What's that on the floor?" "Cling too it?" Simon is on a different level.... He could buy and sell all of them?

South Americans watch the CL Final, that's a lot of soccer loving viewers.

To good Simon absolutely correct 👌

Jim supporting the American model might just be a crime 😂

Simons right, we dont need to americanise everything

I haven't watched a Superbowl halftime show since The Who I think. I always just go get more alcohol during them and talk about the game till it starts back.

Would be good half time show defo

The only reason the super bowl figures went up so much is because they had Dre and Co. You get Dre, Kendrick, Em, 50 cent, Snoop all on stage together and most of the world will tune in

To be fair, I love a hot dog. All the trimmings. Oh yes…

No one watches the super bowl in Africa we don’t even care but the Champions league is a spectacle I agree with Simon.

Hahahaha Simon being trolled like mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jim lines em up Simon knocks em down...

Bring back the pipe band marching round Hampden at half time. Nobody watched that either. They were all away for a p1sh. 🤣

What exactly is complicated?

"If it weren't for the oil he wouldn't be anything." True words for these people who believe their opinions are something special.

Simon Jordan is spot on again! For the die hard FOOTBALL fan I quite frankly don’t care whos performing at half time, if I wanted to listen to Coldplay Ide go on Spotify, pundits are there for a reason and it’s to analyse the game as it goes. Stop trying to change the sport that isn’t broken. Stop trying to overly commercialise a game that was built from passion and not money. The super league was stopped for that exact reason !

The thing with the Super Bowl is it isn’t just an NFL game, it’s all about American excess. America like to have all things involved with their sport, not just the sport itself.

Good banter. Jim put up a reasonable fight but was ultimately schooled by Simon as always.

White and Jordan are brilliant. Best show on Talksport

Simon at his absolute best here haha

Football is more universal so you going to have more viewers so I do agree it champion league final should be more excited than the regular champions league matches

People only watch the super bowl so they can write a fb status . Nobody watches the play offs . The champions league is huge through the whole tournament

'He's not an idiot, he's a president of PSG' And that doesn't change the fact that he's an idiot.. I swear, Jim is losing his mind.

Imagine being 3-0 down at half time to your biggest rival in the champions league final then just bieber rocks up singing baby

Next we'll have a 3 HR pregame show like the nfl.

What’s crazy even in the US we had more eyes watch the Champions League final on CBS than the last three Super Bowls that were on NBC, FOX and CBS. Super Bowl isn’t all that honestly.

Despite not showing much international growth, American Football generates a ton of revenue, so the idea is worth exploring. But as a football fan, I still think, maybe naively so, that there is still something pure about the sport that might die if we follow in the footsteps of American sports

The only entertainment I want before kick off and at half time is a cold pint.

Played madden on Ps once when I went to the states when I was 14. 10seconds in game stops every 10seconds rinse and repeat

Jim’s trolling, he don’t believe that for one second. Btw half time is only 15 minutes anyway.

If I wanted to see Coldplay at Wembley (I don't), I'd buy a ticket to watch Coldplay at Wembley. I want to watch football at Wembley which is why I watch the Champions League final. It's not that hard to fathom.

I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to look at total numbers given everybody knows football is a bigger global sport than American football is so it’s obvious that it’d have more viewers.. if you’re comparing numbers it should be a percentage of those into the sports that watch them.. I’m pretty sure the Super Bowl has a larger percentage of those that are into the sport who watch it compared to football… personally I’m all for it becoming a bigger spectacle because honestly it usually just feels like another game not as big as it should feel at least to me

When i think of the Super Bowl its only the halftime show i think about.Easy to forget theres even a game on.Weird.

The Champions League tickets are also affordable and the Super Bowl costs a fortune
