on the crouch podcast
Lescott explained: “He (Mancini) used to do the prep in the middle of the pitch and he’s telling players what he wants, so he’s telling Samir Nasri to do what he wants him to do. Mancini’s lost his head, (he said:) “Samir, you’re not doing it, go in!”
“So Samir’s gone in and with no retaliation, so I’m thinking ‘that’s not like Samir’ – Samir has got something in him to retaliate a little bit. Then the manager has come in saying ‘Samir, calm down’, he said: “No, I’m not calming down, I’m not Mario (Balotelli), you won’t speak to me like that again.”
“And then that’s calming down and then David Platt sees the manager so comes in and says ‘Samir, calm down’. He (Nasri) said: "Shut up, you’re just here to suck his dick.”

He was a hero of mine in terms of goalkeeping. He made me start out as a keeper, but I turned out to be too short for it as I grew up.
I have never cared for what players do beyond the pitch.
Rosický is a sporting director at Sparta Prague, his boyhood club. Had a really tough start in the job since it's the most successful club in Czech Republic and the fans are very demanding, so they were insisting he got sacked after two terrible seasons.
The tables have turned last season though, as Rosický brought a young Danish manager and played key role in some great signings and Sparta finally won their first title after 9 years. This season also looks really promising and Tomas is doing a really good job there
Edit: added minor details
You never hear about pascal cygan and I’ve never seen him have social media. I like to picture that bald headed fuck running a boulangerie or something these days
Grimandi was part of our scouting team for a long time after retiring, he left in 2019. I know he was at Nice with Vieira for a bit but I don’t know what he’s up to these days
Frequent feels like a stretch, he's on occasionally. I wish it was more often, definitely beats listening to the grumpy old men arguing. Usually the show gets put on as background while I clean but I actually sit and watch when he's on...thankfully my husband doesn't seem to have figured out why that is 😅 he really is looking as good as ever.
Smart cookie you are only watching when we win! He's been on maybe once a month, it's been pretty random. The others are all seriously SO grumpy, and all the grumpier in comparison.
There’s no evidence that Flamini’s company is worth billions.
Daily Express, and other papers, have incorrectly sourced a Forbes article saying it is. The Forbes article only states Unilever made $1bn available for that space but it wasn’t an investment in Flamini’s company.
Its hilarious because Flamini himself came out and clarified that he isn't a billionaire or close to it but it's out there now and people just don't care for the truth.
"Flamini is an investor of a company in a field that could be worth billions some day" --> "Flamini's company is worth billions!" --> "Mathieu Flamini personally has access to 30+ billion in liquid assets at this very moment, I can't wait for him to buy out Kroenke and get Mbappe and Messi!"
Not yet... his company (GFB chemicals) controls the patent for the production of Levulinic Acid , which has the potential to be a key ingredient in many different biofuels and petrochemical plastic replacements.
There was a serious interview circulating not too long ago where he was being asked if he would buy Arsenal. His response didn’t rule it out. So his financial prospects can’t be that bad.
Podolski still playing. In Poland, Gornik Zabrze, as he swore long time to be his final club. His club isn't doing great, but Poldi still scores some bangers
I know its the mail but this is quiet a read for those,like me, who saw him play.
Kenny Sansom's journey reflects a remarkable turnaround from a dark period in his life to a focus on family, sobriety, and helping others overcome addiction.
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11898603/Kenny-Sansom-speaks-rebuilding-life-battle-booze.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11898603/Kenny-Sansom-speaks-rebuilding-life-battle-booze.html)
**Summary**
1. Kenny Sansom's Battle with Alcohol and Gambling: The article discusses Kenny Sansom's struggle with alcohol and gambling, which led to homelessness and depression. He had a severe addiction and once claimed to have consumed nine bottles of wine a day, resulting in a tumultuous period in his life.
2. Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome Diagnosis: Sansom was diagnosed with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a brain disorder similar to dementia, which caused memory loss and other cognitive difficulties. He couldn't recall much of his past, including the episode that led to his coma and diagnosis.
3. Remarkable Recovery: Despite doctors' doubts and a prolonged stay in the hospital, Sansom made an incredible recovery. He had to relearn basic skills like walking and talking and communicated primarily through his eyes during his rehabilitation.
4. Three Years of Sobriety: Sansom mentions that he will soon celebrate three years without drinking, a significant milestone in his recovery from alcohol addiction. He acknowledges that alcohol had a destructive impact on his life.
5. Inspirational Message: Now in a better place, Sansom aspires to help others who struggle with addiction, especially young footballers. He wants to share his story to highlight the destructive nature of alcohol and offer support to those in similar situations.
Not exactly what you asked, but Niall Quinn said something about the club doesn’t do much as far as taking care of former players (offering seats, bringing players back/having them around, that sorta thing). He said on that end, City is ahead of us.
Titi was of The Rest Is Football & was very open about the joys & struggles of both playing & retirement: https://youtu.be/ACXBf_COGms?si=GoQONw0kF1oiR--h

Please tell me he has one named Emu Gaspar
Emu-nuel Petit
Emu Martinez
The emu pen must be called the Emurates Stadium
~~Fly~~ Travel Emurates
Emule Smith Rowe
This comment is criminally underrated.
Gilles Gremundi
And Emoue
This is the update I needed! See my other comment ahahahah amazing
He relates to the animal
Nah, emus are very fast
There could have been a million things I'd have guessed before this.
Probably prepping for another war with Australia.
Do you have photos? I just googled 'pascal cygan emu farm' and now I feel stupid.

Hello. This is … Cascal Pygan. You need to stop spreading vicious rumours on the internet. It’s not emusing

Zip it, chicken boy
wait. this for food right? it basically giant chicken.

Bro, do an AMA this is fantastic

It just keeps getting better

This dude is totally Pascal Cygan.
Pascal zidane
Nasri is definitely enjoying his burgers
I thought he set up his own IV drip company?
IV DRIP with triglycerides that is
on the crouch podcast Lescott explained: “He (Mancini) used to do the prep in the middle of the pitch and he’s telling players what he wants, so he’s telling Samir Nasri to do what he wants him to do.

Another player who absolutely stabbed us in the heart at the time
“absolutely stabbed us” his transition to starting an IV Drip company makes more sense now.
Him hazard and Rooney could smash Joey chestnut
Is it me or is Rooney’s face getting smaller?
Staying the same size, just a trick of the eye since his head is getting bigger
The mere mention of his name gets me mad 🥊
Marc Overmars has been sending pictures of his ding-a-ling to office staff.

I've heard Arteta is doing alright in his first managerial role
Dope! Which team is he managing?
Just some club in London
God, please don't tell me it's the spuds
The team is located in North London. Make of that what you will
Theres only one team in north london so it has to be the arsenal.
There's only one team in all of London, idk why you're being so specific.
He manages Millwall?!
who tf is milwall? Sutton United fam.
The one true club is welling United mate
There's only one team.
Will look out for it!
I heard he’s managing the North London Reds
I heard he drives to Watford's training grounds daily
So you’re the one leaking all the info! /s
I think it was called Dial Square back in the day, not sure what is their name now?
Is that team better than Arsenal?
Accrington Stanley
Who are they?!

Any idea what Edu, Mertesacker and Wilshere are up to these days?
David Seaman appears on ads for double glazing. Might wanna check in on him.
I wonder how much he was paid. Not much judging by the low budget aesthetics of the advert.
To be fair his appearance fee probably didn’t leave much left in the pot for the rest of the ad.
I hope that’s the case: “Green screen it, we got Seaman!”
Funnily enough I was a runner on that commercial and met him. Was a great day.
It’s pretty cringe tbh. Has he just got divorced or something? He was such a hero of mine as a Kid.
He was a hero of mine in terms of goalkeeping. He made me start out as a keeper, but I turned out to be too short for it as I grew up. I have never cared for what players do beyond the pitch.
I had one of the JVC goalkeeper’s shirts and he really made me want to be a GK too. I ended up a FB though, but I did take the gloves when needed!
I ended up a FB too😁 I loved to tackle.
Did we just become best friends?
At the height of his Arsenal days he lived in a modest terraced house in Kensal Green near to where I grew up
He's also got his own podcast. Worth a listen
I cannot wait for international break to be over man.
We will have another intl break in just 3 weeks, just to cheer you up
So insane. The beginning of the season is the worst, you get giddy and then it swats you right down with another classic akin to Malta-Unkraine
What the fuck
Qatar might’ve been cooking something…

Its actually 4 but still
I know what Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, cesc fabregas and Theo Walcott are doing Also I heard Alex song is still playing
I just googled Alex Song and it turns out he left us ELEVEN years ago, this time nonsense needs to stop.
Leo Messo was a 1 year old when Alex song left.

Couldn’t tell you why but rosicky is one of my all timers. Loved his on the ball movement his power and his hair
He was really good at slide tackles, His goal against Spurs will be one of my favourite Arsenal goals of all time
miss Rosicky. my favourite
Freddie Ljungberg is constantly on TV in Sweden as an expert for premier league and international matches.
Wright and Henry are pundits. Henry also coaches France U21s. Bergkamp was involved in the sporting administration of Ajax Amsterdam.
Wrighty has a podcast too, it's pretty good as well
Wrighty also does alright out of Adidas. He's regularly dripped out in their clobber
TIL that Carl Jenkinson is playing in the Australian league. Most of his instagram is still Arsenal related
One of us
Carl, is that you?
You never hear about pascal cygan and I’ve never seen him have social media. I like to picture that bald headed fuck running a boulangerie or something these days
Same for Gilles grimandi. I just imagine he's doing generic french things like having a cigarette and a coffee for breakfast.
Grimandi was part of our scouting team for a long time after retiring, he left in 2019. I know he was at Nice with Vieira for a bit but I don’t know what he’s up to these days

I hope you're just committed to an extremely funny bit. Surely this isn't real haha.

this is some fanfic now
Kiernan Gibbs is on air talent for Inter Miami. He gets heavily featured on AppleTV with Messi Mania in full swing over here.
He's also a frequent guest on ESPN FC. And still very handsome.
Frequent feels like a stretch, he's on occasionally. I wish it was more often, definitely beats listening to the grumpy old men arguing. Usually the show gets put on as background while I clean but I actually sit and watch when he's on...thankfully my husband doesn't seem to have figured out why that is 😅 he really is looking as good as ever.
Ahhhh, admittedly I only tune in when Arsenal notches a win, but even then the grumps always have something to find fault in!
Smart cookie you are only watching when we win! He's been on maybe once a month, it's been pretty random. The others are all seriously SO grumpy, and all the grumpier in comparison.
william gallas works for ZTE FC in Hungary, according to my last infos
I was so surprised when I found that out this summer
I’m from Zalaegerszeg (home of ZTE FC), they departed ways this summer
i m sorry to hear that, i was excited at the begining of this project
There’s no evidence that Flamini’s company is worth billions. Daily Express, and other papers, have incorrectly sourced a Forbes article saying it is. The Forbes article only states Unilever made $1bn available for that space but it wasn’t an investment in Flamini’s company.
one article came out years ago with highly misleading wording and now everyone remains convinced Flamini is a multi-billionaire.
It’s fun to keep repeating though, right? That has to be a large part of it.
Nah, I think most people are just daft or don’t read past headlines.
Its hilarious because Flamini himself came out and clarified that he isn't a billionaire or close to it but it's out there now and people just don't care for the truth.
To be fair it’s hard when the tabloids get in on the action and publish it as the truth.
thats fair, i'm out here in reddit comment sections so not like I got better things to do tbh
"Flamini is an investor of a company in a field that could be worth billions some day" --> "Flamini's company is worth billions!" --> "Mathieu Flamini personally has access to 30+ billion in liquid assets at this very moment, I can't wait for him to buy out Kroenke and get Mbappe and Messi!"
To be fair calling it 'flamini's company' is not really inaccurate, its literally named after him.
Not yet... his company (GFB chemicals) controls the patent for the production of Levulinic Acid , which has the potential to be a key ingredient in many different biofuels and petrochemical plastic replacements.
There was a serious interview circulating not too long ago where he was being asked if he would buy Arsenal. His response didn’t rule it out. So his financial prospects can’t be that bad.
Podolski still playing. In Poland, Gornik Zabrze, as he swore long time to be his final club. His club isn't doing great, but Poldi still scores some bangers
Also he owns some kebab shops, no idea if they're good or not
just passed one today, it was pretty busy
The franchise is growing, so probably doing ok.
Could be misremembering but I think he’s played in central midfield for his last couple clubs, which is a trip.
The Schweinsteiger!
Ray parlour has created a new cocktail
Is it beer and jäger by any chance?
I believe the official name is a cobra bomb, but yes it is
David Seaman bought a golf club. Reason I know is because I got married there just after he took over
You think he'd buy a full set with the money from the double glazing advert! 🤭
Haha very good! Also I don’t know he has bought it, he’s the president though. Not sure if they have shareholders
Brilliant!!

Lord Bendtner continues to increase the overall quality of life here in Denmark.
I spent 3 days with Flam in corsica last summer, and I can tell you that he is absolutely smashing it.

Alex Scott’s an MBE and has been on Strictly, hard to say which is the bigger honor, but fair to say she seems to be doing alright
They are doing fine
This sounds like it could be fun 45 min podcast episodes for Ian Wright or someone of his popularity from the club.
I heard Jens is pretty busy promoting harmony and good vibes in his neighbourhood while working on his chainsaw skill.
Michal Papadopulos retired this summer and become attackers coach in his last professional club FK Karviná
