I find this podcast pretentious, but this was an interesting interview, including stuff on his time at Spurs.
Yeah Humphrey’s is a twat. One behind Max Rushden on the death list
Yeah he's all 'sure, the only person blander than me on TV is Michael Owen, but I get up at 4:30am so I'm better than you"
Aurier and Foyth are far better etc.
Champo (League) player.
With his ONE assist from open play this season!!! What a diamond, what a baller.
He's fucking shit.
The Broken Clock Cup award.
Matt Doherty grinding away right now to become Comeback Player of the Season next year for Atleti.

shut your mouth calling anybody a state when you still have the absolute nerve to defend Eric Dier you utter bellend.
That's kind of The Troubled No. 5's thing.
Hurl random, non-sequitur one-liners, usually of the "look at you", or "they're shite" variety, and then go running to

when someone pushes back.
Trippier is (still) a top-level attacking RB/RWB, who is excelling in Howe's asymmetrical back-4 system.
He's not and never has been a shut-down defender, and opponents are wise to attack his side and the space he vacates when attacking, but the same could be said about Trent Alexander-Arnold.
He has 13.4 xA but yeah he's fucking shit because his teammates haven't finished off all the chances he's created for them.
Going to make the team of the season (deservedly so) as the player of the season in a team finishing 3rd and you're still here with the agenda .. does it ever get boring?
..."Newcastle have created 130 shots from set pieces at an xG of 12.32, the highest in the Premier League, yet they have scored only six goals. It would help if Fabian Schar (one goal from 3.03 xG), Dan Burn (zero goals from 1.06 xG) and Sven Botman (zero goals from 0.92 xG) started contributing from time to time, too."... Feb 28, 2023
Just put it in the net: Missed chances to blame for Newcastle's goals slump
Newcastle have struggled to score since the World Cup. The stats show they are creating good chances but have been wasteful in front of goal

Trippier has a wonderful right foot, but Howe's using 6'6" Dan Burn at LB to shore-up the backline.

His creativity is not only set piece based - 99th percentile for successful crosses & key passes as well. Trippier creates chances, whether that's from excellent set piece delivery or from being willing to get balls in to the box.
Selling him was one of the biggest mistakes this club has made in years. He'd be one of our best players now.
LOL.
Trippier won La Liga w/ Atleti.
Foyth won the Europa League (beating ManUtd in the final) w/ Villarreal and was in Argentina's WC winning squad this winter.
Aurier won multiple titles and cups w/ PSG, made Ligue 1 Team of the Year twice, won an African Cup of Nations w/ Côte d'Ivoire, and was in the CAF team of the year 4 times.
Per usual, your Johnny-Come-Lately takes are trash.
Speculative.
We have no idea what was going on in Trippier's life leading up to his move to Atleti.
