Ed’s back this week, and he’s joined by George who’s still upset about how he says “good evening” at the start of every podcast.
Our guest this week is Ryan Keaney, who pops in to talk about his In Bed With Maradona blogs and all things Football Manager-y.
The question this week is all about the superstar wonderkids we’ve had in our saves. Ryan talks about Arjen Robben, Joe Cole, Wayne Rooney and a Serbian star who solidified his Manchester United team in the early ’00s.
George had a think about it, can’t remember the edition it happened in, but goes on about a Brazilian centre back called Sidnei. Ed cuts a hypothetical list of 30 down to three – Carlos Fierro, Pablo Piatti and Lucas Romero. Then George throws another one in for good luck.
And if that wasn’t enough, how about all of this as well? –
- George hasn’t done anything this week because he no longer cares about Crystal Palace. He’s thinking about what to do for his next save, but he’s not turned any of his ideas into actual things he can talk about yet.
- Ed’s Stoke save is exciting him again, despite being pissed off when he left it last, and the fact that everyone hated him. But now he’s come back and something’s clicked. A tweaked 4-4-1-1 and Leroy Sane on the left has kicked things on again. Also he won the Champions League.
- Ryan talks us through his save. The idea is to take the list of In Bed With Maradona’s 100 young players from the top flight of various countries and only sign those.
- He’s playing as Ajax because they start with three of the players on the list. His first season saw him finishing second and winning the Dutch cup. Since then his team has pretty much been untouchable.
