If this becomes in “in person”, the assumption Flav would have to go to London, without a consideration of Jim getting on the M4 is crazy. I wouldn’t be having that Flav

“6 million and… can you just meow like a cat” 😂😂😂😂 Please can we find a way to put Flav in charge of this transfer negotiation?

Oh my…. Timestamps… I can’t believe my eyes, they’ve only gone and done it.

I love being able to pinpoint the moment Flav drops off, about 10 mins before he's called out you see his eyes go, head down and the occasional grunt. Jim bless him I think gives him the benefit of the doubt trying to soldier on through comments but to no avail. Same again next week, up the slugs

Timestamps ffs guys. Almost didn’t click because flav wasn’t in the thumbnail, come on Jim

Flav doesn't even make the thumbnail these days

Who's even buying Reece James? The guy hasn't played over 30 league games in a season for 3 years. He's not fit enough for teams to want to buy him for any significant fee. Chelsea would be better off trying to sell Colwill if they wanted a big money transfer.

We once banned some people for asking for timestamps....What is actually happening!?!! Blue card for the both of them, unbelievable.

37:33 Can't believe Jim let Flav get away with calling Porro better than Trent, and by the look an Flav's face, he can't believe it either

i haven't been listening to the podcast for a couple of weeks (busy with life etc) and now when i come back there's convenient timestamps on the video? what the fuck happened here guys?

To play devil's advocate to the 18:44 point: Messi played as a false nine which was "out of position" at the time and did a great job, so it can definitely work.

1:02:15 as a kid I got taken to Anfield for my first ever game, my mum asked me if I'd had a good time to which I responded with yes. However I couldn't understand why everyone kept calling the referee a white cat and my step dad wouldn't tell me.

People said the exact same last season and United still got stiffed 55m for Mount and Arsenal got absolutely bent over 65m for Havertz. Then the players you are naming, Tomori, Abraham were sold in the previous regime, not under Boehly and co.

The two bickering like me and my wife in the end was priceless 😂 Flav being caught un-attentive was just like me way too often. Go for a curry and shake hands mates

I have a samism. My mate brought his new girlfriend to the pub the other day. He introduced her to us and then she walked to the bar to get some drinks. When she went I proceeded to wind my mate up and put the idea in his head that she might fancy me over him now that she has meet all his friends. He came back with “she wouldn’t shag you with a 10 foot barge pole mate “ I couldn’t stop laughing and his mistake and it put a weird image in my mind of me, his girlfriend and a 10 foot barge pole. Disturbing

Soldiers lost in battle: I’m a Newcastle fan that went to every champions league game this season bar one, which one? PSG 4-1 at home. Reason being, months ago I agreed I’d go to a 5sos concert with my girlfriend as none of her friends wanted to, plus why would I be doing anything on a random weekday night? It killed me. I avoided any knowledge of the game and watched it the next day blindly, was absolutely buzzing with the game and result, which made it worse that I missed what’s arguably our best result in the past 20 years…

10:13 lovely voice crack from flav coupled with an even lovelier smirk from James

I can help with the less than a london pint problem… i own a pub in Leicestershire and my patreon subscription to you is less than a pint of carling in Leicester in my pub, if that’s not a bargain, i don’t know what is… Also as James well knows, the midlands is the pits, so therefore the moistie subscription feels like real value for money.

Had to double check the Richarlison scoring 9 on the bounce in the league because it didn't sound right at all. Richarlison has scored 4 on the bounce in the league and 2 on the bounce in all competitions. That is the most epic of reframes from Flav.

Just wanted to clarify the Alexis Mac Allister issue. I found it baffling at the time, but a lot of our fans and a few pundits questioned whether he could play on his own as a 6. Particularly since returning from injury & Endo being away, he has been unbelievable at winning the ball back, which is where he was doubted most.

The one thing to remember about Chelsea's amortisation strategy is that there is a good chance ffp will be abandoned or have the limit raised substantially before the bill comes true. Honestly the 100M limit probably should go up to reflect increasing revenues.

Trent is ripped to shreds bc of his defending but watching Porto he’s not exactly Maldini either

Challanges to get to a football game- Africa United- The extraordinary story of three Rwandan kids who walk 3000 miles to the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Using a sack load of ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized protagonists set off through the endless horizons of Africa in pursuit of an unlikely dream. And as they walk they gather a tribe - a ragamuffin team - of broken and brilliant characters who help them negotiate a way through a series of glorious, dangerous, hilarious and often bizarre situations. Through these kids, we will encounter an Africa few people ever get to see; experience the hard reality of an epic walk through seven countries; as well as the joy, laughter and hope - 'the ubuntu' - that comes from making an incredible journey together.

why does flav dress like he’s going outside for the pod lmao

The devastation of seeing your comment on Flav’s screen as he meekly turns his camera around after a thorough dressing down by Jim, knowing it will be forever unread. One week ban on Flav’s phone.

Jackson being good in preseason has a lot to do with Nkunku playing the 10…which will not happen now because Palmer is their guy 😂 Chelsea are a mess and their squad building is awful

01:05:08 HE’S DONE IT AGAIN

When podcast?

Reece James stinks of Bayern Munich in the summer.

Is this on Spotify?

I watch all Rory's videos but I don't know why, as I'm fuming at every one of them. He is 100% the biggest internet flip-flopper in history and gets every single prediction wrong. As a Liverpool fan I'd like to thank him for insisting there was no way Arsenal would beat Liverpool. He is more effective than a Haitian witch doctor's curse.

A great Samism from my fiancée this week… when I told someone about something she’d done, she exclaimed “why are you always trying to sell me under the bus?!” 😂😂.

1:04:49 this is the best moment of the vid literally reading something out into existence 😂

I don't get the massive arguement about "Arteta has spent so much". Since Arteta came in Arsenal have spent 678m Euros, whilst Spurs have spent 664m Euros I know Spurs have a better net spend because they sold Kane etc but the narrative of Arteta spending soooo much is just wrong, I expect nothing less from Flav when it comes to Arsenal though

I tried to make a bet with a West Ham mate of mine that Son & Richarlison would both get 15 goals this season. Cos i said they would both do well under Big Ange (we live in New Zealand so we knew first hand what he had done in the A-League) and he said i was nuts. I tried to stick $200 on it and he declined... whenever Richy missed a sitter early season he messaged immediately things like "Golden Boot Winner Richarlison". I haven't heard much from him recently... Also... as a Spurs fan i was waking up at 3am or 4am with work the next day to watch the boring Conte football and questioned my life choices.

the deep pain in Flav's eyes at 22:17 lmao

I live in Utah and routinely wake up at 5:15 in the morning for games

Just a heads up Flav, Richi has scored 9 in 9 but it’s not 9 in a row. Didn’t score against Brighton.

Great show though guys

There is no way you've done timestamps, now i can skip over flav when he talks for too long uninterupted , defo the best podcast around

As a Chelsea far this was a great listen! keep up the honest work!

Im particularly efficient when finding the end/start of a roll of selotape. (im not getting into the debate on end/start, im a neutral within the selotapist community)

I didn’t know this was a JAFFN!

Deffo make the Trent left back video Jim!

Can’t sell Reece James when he’s made of glass

Loved this one!

34:04 - THIS!!! I honestly feel like Trent is so good on the ball and Walker is so good off the ball that we should be playing them both for England any way we can. I don't care if it's Walker at CB and Trent at right back, with an ultra defensive LB, or just putting Trent on the left. They both need to play and I don't think it will hurt us. Stop mucking about and tell Walker his only job is to defend, have a back three with Trent and Rice in a double pivot when we have the ball. Up front, just let us loose... Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Kane, Grealish, or Maddison, or Palmer, or Gordon, etc etc.... service from Trent... cheat codes 👌

We can only stop talking about Trent defensively if people stop putting him in conversations as a fullback

Hey James and Flav, just checking in. Please tell me if I'm just becoming old and miserable. I spotted an American flag in the away end at Loftus Road on the weekend and that really grinded my gears. This comes a week or two after Match of the Day showed a Norwegian flag at the etihad, obviously for Mr Erling and i assume the stars and stripes at W12 on Saturday were for Sargent. I cant quite put my finger on why but it felt like the opposite to good clean fun (a lone wolf-whistle 2 or 3 seconds after an away player skys a shot btw). It really urked me. Ive got no evidence to prove this flag barer wasnt American themselves but the idea that someone bought the national flag of a player that plays for their team just really urked me. Am I just an irritable sod? All the best

Trent’s already made the difference vs City, vs Fulham, vs Arsenal in the cup

You talk about the negative of signing young players but the two 'senior' players in Sterling & Silva were the weak links. Poch finally wakes up and drops them and it's the best we've looked all season. The recruitment has been fine mostly. I'd say Mudryk was the only real stinker. You obviously both like Poch but he's far more to blame in all of this than you let on.

In regards to the potential introduction of the blue card, the game is just totally lost. I’m not a fan of big ange whatsoever but he nailed in when asked about them in his presser. The game isn’t just drifting away from its core values, the ship has sailed off into the horizon. I really fear it’s irretrievably lost. I’ve been a season ticket holder with my dad & brother going on 20 years now, after a contentious decision and the initial anger has settled down, my dad will always turn to me and ask ‘is that still a handball/offside/foul now lad?’ I’ve usually been able to quite confidently respond with an idea of what I understand are the laws of the game. But now, I truly don’t know either and it’s not through ignorance or lack of trying and I’m not alone. I’m not sure any regular attending football fan truly knows what is or isn’t an offence any more. There is a culture of confusion, anger and we’ll all around apathy and the laws continue to get more obtuse and confusing, I must stress in particular for the match going fan of a lower league side. Watching a premier league game on tv you can hear the discussion played out live and hear the debate, at the match we simply don’t know any more and I think it’s only going to continue to get so much worse. Anyway, $4 a pound I’ve said my piece.

Trent is not an otherworldly "complete player" where you can rip him out of that team, and he'd dominate for anyone. I think if you put him at spurs, arsenal, chelsea etc he probably gets torn to shreds. But at the top with teams like liverpool and city that are so system dependent and about everyone utilising strengths it works.. yes he can't defend great, but it's apart of the system that the team will cover for him. Similar can be said about Ederson at man city, supposedly mediocre shot stopper but amazing with ball at feet. Would be absolutely horrendous for Brentford, but that's irrelevant because he's plays for the man city system and is perfect for what they need. You can't compare trent/ederson type players with walker/alisson because they're specifically built for the system they play in while the others are just world class at their position and could do it for any team. Trent/Ederson - world class at what they *can* do in their position Walker/Allison - world class because they can do everything in their position

Chelsea are the footballing equivalent of a TikTok Klarna final boss

Jim and flav arguing at the end and we're the children watching our parent slugs have it out with eachother

Big clubs are always so weird. Yes Chelsea are having a bad league season but they are still in two cups with one final. The big 6 now 7 with Newcastle in theory take up all 7 european spots. All these clubs will have to learn that floating between the CL, EL and even ECL is okay. However, west ham are on a european roll. Brighton look here to stay in the top 6-10. Aston Villa too look like they have a proper manager in Unai to push them into the conversation. So thats 10 clubs pushing for 7 spots. Three clubs will always fall short. Theres even the occasional wolves or brentford making it harder to.

Nice to have a podcast made by creators that support small teams ❤

I think everyone is overreacting over Chelsea. At the start of the season everyone said it would be a tough season for Chelsea because they have a brand new team that needs to gel. Now that they're going through a tough time because the team needs to gel, everyone is panicking saying Chelsea needs to sack poch and Todd. Let poch sort it out. That's why he was brought in.

The team us Chelsea fans could of had with only home grown academy prospects Bergstrom James/Livramento Tomori Colwill Maatsen Gilmour Gallagher Mount Odoi Abraham Vale This team is what, 4 players away from being great? Sign experience in these areas GK, DM, ST & a winger Honourable mentions to Rice & Musiala, but feels like cheating to include them

My friend had THE Best flex ever at Parties, he could tell the vanity of any person by observing them for about a minute and then proceding to talk to them and taking them apart mentally until he got them angry or crying in some cases, last thing he would say before moving towards the target was: "Its all in their eyes" 😂😂😂

Bout f*king time!

I'm an arsenal fan and we actually rely like him...artetas system takes a season to lern!!!.....simple as that they all need a season to get their heads round it......

As a Chelsea fan the starting monologue hurts me so much 😂 I've been saying this! Why when we had arguably the best academy in the country are we spending billions on youthful potential It's borderline moronic...

Weird flex: I'm the second best person in the world at making a particular sound whilst clapping in front of my mouth. Some guy thought it to all the kids when I was little and I was by far the most talented of the lot. Never went on to do anything with it but still a good party trick.

This always ends like a dragon ball z episode. Will flav ever listen to James? Will James ask for the marriage ring back? Did flav ever find the marriage ring? Find out next week on James and Flav for now

Thanks for the appreciation for global football fans boys. I live in australia and have watched Spurs play at anywhere between 0930pm and 0600am for the last 15 years. Still worth it #COYS

Trent on left wing with Robbo overlapping would be insane.

Gotta preface this by saying I’m a huge fan of both the pod and James and flav individually, but there’s something about hearing a QPR fan and a spurs fan talk about my club that makes the hair standup on the back of my neck

People surprised that a partisan QPR supporter doesn't like Chelsea? Flav doesn't like Arsenal. Rory doesn't like Tottenham. McKola doesn't like Liverpool. Are these things surprising to you lot?

Conor Gallagher showed the importance of keeping a couple of homegrown players about. Good player regardless, but his passion shines though

Still can't comprehend how happy it made me hearing James say "As a Spurs fan..." before realizing he was just reading some gits comment😅😂

18:35 I didn't know Obama played for Chelsea, let alone that he's their best player

I get that football fans are inherently fickle but how does that one Chelsea performance change the narrative about them at all?? Jim was spot on with his assessment, if anything this villa game should piss Chelsea fans off more about their mentality and naivety when it comes to playing the smaller teams in the league. This is such a top-down issue that's not gonna be sorted by one game and potentially more than one season.

what i don’t get with that convo over trent is that flav literally said it’s poetry to watch trent and how the defensive comments are boring, yet he still said porro is better, gurantee if you asked him why the first thing he’d bring up is the defending because that’s the only thing porro has on trent and even then porros not the best defender out there

Funny how those lads at The Club rated your podcast down for it being over video link, when them doing there's in person doesn't seem to stop them all talking (shouting) over each other for the entirety. I watch The Club, Buvey is great and its fun to watch Rory become more and more bitter with every minute that passes.. but your pod smashes theirs outta the water. Take it from someone who listens to all of them. It's clear you're good mates and enjoy crackin each other up, and you don't just spew hate on anyone or anything... like the angry little imp that is Rory Jennings.

GET FLAV IN THE THUMBNAIL NOW JIM HES THE BIGGEST ATTRACTOR

James you have elastic joints i have them too this means you must be injury prone as your thumb can touch your forearm.

The end with James ripping Flav for being on his phone, after telling a story about a kid getting in trouble at school for being on his phone? Absolutely hilarious, James you deserve better than that

Richalison has been so much better this season but hang on a mo.. let’s not forget who we’re talking about 😅

Todd Boehly use to shop at BrightHouse 😂

You gotta feel for us chelsea fans tbf, I really hope boehly figures his shit out

Jim’s lost his head at the end there and we the slugs are the only ones who have lost out to more juicy soldiers lost in battle content. Be better. Flav solid job as always

Thing to remember is Rory, fan channels and idiots on twitter don’t actually represent the fanbase. Fan channels especially over react to everything for clicks. Poch has done a good job if you watch the games, youngsters are going to be inconsistent especially with so many changes going on at once. Plenty of positives and have been pretty unlucky, 2 deflected goals after taking the lead against wolves is a good example. Only complaint I have is sterling doesn’t look good and is getting too many minutes. Disagree about the not being able to sell any players, players like casadei, santos, ugochukwu, Washington, Angelino, fofana, disasi could all go on loan have a good season then sell for a good profit. Even someone like mudryk or Madueke could go to dortmund on loan put up good stats and sell if they don’t make it at Chelsea. Situation isn’t ideal but not as bad everyone makes out, reported transfer fees also look worse because they always include the add ons that will likely never get triggered.

Klopp leaving will create a butterfly affect for Trent career he will be Rb for Dorking wanderers in 5 years 👃

Reese Jones 😂

Preferred Jim when he was supporting his sweet sweet Gunners

It just goes to show you the idea that intelligence and success are correlated is very dubious!

The whole fan channel culture of having to have extreme opinions on every player, every manager, every game. The truth is for most players/managers/teams is somewhere in the middle and I prefer the creators who stay away from sensationalism.

My mates weird flex is he sounds just like a pig, not a peppa pig oink oink, but more accurate to the real life creature noise being a deep snort snort

to be fair tammy was sold before boehly took over. but he still world have been sold anyway

fuck i’ve got a week to meow, the pressures getting to me

I thought you were Rory Jennings. ❓

"I think it's all bollocks isn't it" "Uuuhkay"

Richarlison against the top six teams is ineffective. 😂😂😂😂

As defacto voice of the slugs I speak for us all when I say remove the time st**ps. Hearing the word st**p is the slugs mortal enemy

Is this jaffn

39:27 Connor Bradley showed more work rate and desire in two games than Trent in the whole season. We could press with Bradley, when with Trent it's all disintegrated again. Trent has an amazing pass on him when not under pressure, but that's it. He loses the ball, gets bullied off the ball. He loves killer balls, but most of them go straight to the opposition.. oh it's a fantastic curve! but what's the point if it reaches thin air.. Count the success rate of his crosses compared to our other right sided players! Also an interesting statistics no one keeps is the percentage of possession retained after your pass. What it will reveal is whether someone creates time and space for his team mates like Xabi Alonso did or not.. And Trent's coward passes when he's under pressure to someone who's well covered illustrate that. i don't even want to mention his 'defending'.

I was fuckin raging when there was no JAFFN last week

Trent getting the credit he deserves😮

Weird flex, I can make a great orc noise from the Lord of the rings
