Transcript

[A]

Coming up on today's show, this week's quiz is. You ready for this? Chaps non English players with the most Premier League goals.

[B]

Any clues?

[A]

I can't give you clues.

[C]

He's still one of them. Still playing in a foreign league.

[A]

He's just winding you up here, Mike. I'll give you one clue. That's bullshit.

[B]

Can we have a look at Alan's eyeline, mate? He ever so slightly veers a little bit over his computer here. Is it what I'm thinking of? What do you think, Al?

[C]

I think that's a decent shout that we might. I think you should go with him.

[A]

Playing games here with you, Micah. Interesting shout, Micah.

[C]

That's an odd shout.

[A]

No, come on. He scored a lot of goals, he's scored a lot of penalties and he's had an unbelievable amount of assists.

[B]

What's he got?

[A]

I don't know because he's not even in the top. Hello and welcome to the rest is Football with Alan Shearer, Michael Richardson, me, Gary Lineker. With six weeks to go until the end of the season, we thought we'd mix things up with a short run of Premier League quizzes. Each episode will feature plenty of archive along the way for you to enjoy. I'll be quizmaster for today, but we'll be rotating that role over the coming weeks. And to kick things off, this week's quiz is. You ready for this? Chaps non English English players with the most Premier League goals English players with

[C]

the most Premier League goals.

[A]

Now, there's obviously a few that you'll get fairly immediately and quickly, but then it might get a little bit tricky. I'm going to give you just a few seconds to think about some of those names.

[A]

This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off a quick pre match warm up from Fuse, a question on the teams and players who make things count. The question is which Premier League team scored the most goals from set pieces in 2425 season?

[B]

I already know that one. Crystal palace final answer. Game over. Done. I know it. I know it. It's in There.

[C]

Well, as I'm actually leading this quiz, I'm going to go Crystal palace too, so that makes me the winner.

[A]

Crystal palace is the correct answer, followed by Aston Villa and then Arsenal. The best teams find an edge wherever they can. It should be the same with your energy.

Sign [e-mail] football using code football, all uppercase to save on your energy bill and get the chance to ask us your football question on the pod. Full terms and [e-mail] right, here we go, lads. Who wants to go first or do you want me?

[B]

Do you go first?

[A]

If you want, Alan's gonna go first. So I suspect that the 4 or 5 will be quite easy. And then so a list of a list. I've got the, I've got in front of me, I've got the top 20 goal scorers, but I want, as usual with this, I want the top 10.

[C]

So it's a top Premier League goals, non English Premier League goal score. Is that right?

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

Phone's going away. Phone is going away.

[A]

Excellent.

[B]

Yeah, I don't want to know.

[C]

I'll go first then.

[A]

Am I going out? Salah mo salah. Obviously, he's the leading non English goal scorer. Who's the leading English ghost? How many do you know?

[C]

Is he? I don't know. Is he 200?

[A]

Round about 200 or just under 193 goals? I mean, what a player he's been. Obviously he's coming to the end, isn't he? And, well, presuming Premier League football, I'd be surprised if he moved to another Premier League club at the end of the season. It's nice as well. The last couple of games he scored a couple as well. But he's, he's, he's been one of the greats and he.

[C]

Absolutely, yeah, one of the greats. What he's done for Liverpool, the number, the importance of his, of his goals and how regular he's been. He's been phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.

[A]

Yeah. And you used to be his taxi driver, Mike.

[B]

Yes, I did.

[A]

Couldn't possibly envisage the career that he would have and the magical moments he's had at Liverpool. God, he scored some great goals as well, hasn't he? Not only a lot of them.

[B]

You know what, I know it sounds ridiculous. I still think he could score a lot of goals in the Premier League because if you look at the chances that he's had and he didn't have the fallout with Slot. I still think he. He can still. Cuz he's always in the right position. I think when you look at his position now, obviously plays right at the free up front and he gets himself into good positions, but maybe doesn't have the. The power in his legs to get away from someone. But if you actually look at his chances, the old. The old son of just put, put sat in the net. So I still think if they adapted his position, he still could get 20, 25 in the premier League without. Without doubt.

[A]

Okay, right, over to you, Micah Richards.

[B]

Thierry's got to be in there, and

[A]

he obviously, yes, Tierra's in there. How many goals do you think I should know?

[B]

This is it. 184. No, now what is it?

[A]

It's 17 5.

[B]

Oh, I should know. He had the thing with Ian Wright on the pitch, didn't he?

[A]

That's right, yeah. He broke his record, didn't he?

[B]

Yes, he broke his record. Yes.

[A]

Amazing achievement for righty. That really isn't it? I mean, you work with him all the time, don't you? Va va voom. He's definitely got that.

[B]

He's cool, isn't he? Back in the day.

[C]

I think, as a whole package. That doesn't get much better than him, by the way. Well, it doesn't get better.

[B]

He's number one in the Premier League all around, didn't he?

[C]

There's a whole package. Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

I'd agree with that.

[A]

Yeah, so would I. As the old package, what's he got?

[C]

175.

[A]

Yeah, he probably in fewer seasons, Al

[C]

was it just 85 behind does it?

[B]

Fewer seasons, Al? Selective hearing again.

[C]

Yeah, I did hear what you said. Sorry, love.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

As a whole package, Thierry's the best, definitely.

[A]

I mean, I suppose the archetypal Henry goal is that when he slides in off the left and it cuts in right foot, bends it in at the far post.

[C]

I mean, it's brilliant.

[A]

It was absolutely magnificent.

[C]

Unbelievable player.

[A]

Right, okay, that's 1:1. I thought that might be the case, I think over to you, Alan Aguero. Aguero is obviously in there has to be. How many do you think?

[C]

16 8.

[A]

168 is not the right answer. He's actually second. He's ahead of Thierry Henry. All right, so Micah, how many you think he got? I mean, he's more of a gold poacher than probably any perhaps cherry. But he did also have that, you know, goal from outside the box in his locker as well, didn't he?

[B]

Yeah, in his Armory scored two on his debut. I'm set up the first one. No problem at all.

[A]

You basically made him, Michael. You made him the player.

[B]

Look at this. I've played behind Salah. Look what he's got on to do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I've played behind Aguero. Look what he's gone on to do.

[A]

It's incredible, Mike.

[C]

Unbelievable. What a career.

[A]

I wish you'd have been around in the early 80s, Micah. You could have transformed my career.

[B]

I played behind Beckham international. Look what he's got on to do.

[C]

I wish you had a played at Newcastle instead of Warren Barton.

[B]

I'm joking.

[C]

Warren. I'm joking. I was with Warren at the weekend. He was in town.

[A]

He's a good player. Warren Barton got England.

[C]

England cap as well.

[A]

Yeah, he did consistent for. Really? So, yeah. Actually, Mikey, you said a number for Thierry Henry. I think you got confused. You'd heard that number somewhere. And it was the number of goals that Sergio scored. 184.

[C]

Okay. Two, one. Micah's turn.

[A]

O.

[B]

Let me think. It's got to be someone like Robin Van Persie. Arsenal United. Yeah.

[A]

You saying that.

[B]

Yeah. I'll go Van Pers.

[A]

Yeah. That's the correct answer. You've now got the top four between you.

[C]

Have we?

[A]

Yeah. Mo Salah first, Sergio Aguero second. Thierry Henry and Robin Van Persie. Remember that Van Pers, that volley from. Was it a Rooney long ball? Yes, it was over his shoulder that first time volley.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, what a goal that was. Yeah.

[A]

And obviously he did it at both Arsenal and Manchester United as well when somehow Fergie prized him away, didn't he, from Arsenal, which was pretty baffling at the time.

[B]

I thought he just wanted to win a league, though. He went to United and won the league.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

So. Exactly. I think he's one of the most underrated players in Premier League history. Touch, technique and finishing.

[C]

Underrated.

[B]

Underrated every time, everyone says.

[A]

I don't think every time.

[B]

Talk about a top striker in the Premier League. His name rarely gets mentioned. I. I know he could do both. He could do number nine and he could do a number 10 as well because his touch was so good. But he was an extraordinary player. His. His vision, his football IQ was just off the scale.

[A]

Right. Once we've got the next one, we'll have a little break. But Alan, it's back to you. We're 100% so far. We've got numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.

[C]

Oh, I think because of the clubs he played at, I'm gonna say Nicholas and Elka.

[B]

Good shout.

[A]

Nicholas and Elka.

[C]

He played for all of them. What? He played, didn't he?

[B]

Yeah. Bolton, Chelsea City. Liverpool.

[A]

Yeah. Arsenal.

[B]

Arsenal.

[C]

I think there's six gotta be in there, isn't he?

[A]

One more. He's gonna get the next one. I'll give you half a point. Well, I won't, but say it again.

[C]

Who have we got?

[B]

I've got it. I know it. West Brom.

[A]

Yeah, West Brom is the correct.

[C]

Well done.

[A]

Well done. Okay. Yeah, he was. I mean he was the. When he was really, really young. I mean, he looked like he was going to be one of the absolute greats. I'm not quite sure he completely realized his potential but, you know, otherwise, you know, wouldn't probably ended up playing at Bolton and West Brom. With all due respect, but he did go to, you know, obviously Real Madrid as well. I mean there's so many unbelievable clubs,

[C]

isn't it, that he's played for.

[A]

But he was rapid, wasn't he as well?

[C]

He was clever with the running, with the ball as well. I guess so, yeah. What number is he then? What?

[A]

What?

[C]

What number is he on the list?

[A]

He's eighth.

[C]

Eighth.

[A]

Okay. Yeah. How many goals? 125. Right. Okay. Well, that gives you the lead, Alan. Three two over Micah. But it gets trickier now and we'll take a little breather so you can have a little bit of thinking time. This episode is brought to you by HubSpot. You know why elite playmakers run the whole match? It isn't just the through balls. It's because they see everything. Who's on a yellow, who's gassed, what the opposition's doing. Most businesses don't have that. Sales runs one system, marketing runs another. Nobody told service the customer rang yesterday. HubSpot gives you that playmaker's vision. One platform, full customer context. And that context is everything you need to win HubSpot.com to learn more. Welcome back to the rest is football quiz special Premier league quiz and the question is which non english premier league goal scorers are in the all time top 10? We've got five. We've got Mo Salah, Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry, Robin Van Persien, Nicholas and Nelke. It's now your turn, Micah. You can level things up and make it three if you get the right answer. He's scratching his beard. For those that are looking for audio only. Glasses on the top of his forehead,

[C]

gazing into only there so we can't see him looking in the computer or something like that. Wherever he's looking at.

[B]

Look wherever you want, mate. Can you see, can you see that reflection? Bruno Fernandez or for natch, Bruno Fernandez.

[A]

Bruno Fernandez. Interesting. Interesting shout, Michael.

[C]

It's an odd sh.

[A]

No, come on. He scored a lot of goals, he scored a lot of penalties and he's had an unbelievable amount of assists. But unfortunately assists don't count. Therefore, Micah. I mean, I don't know where you plucked that one out from, but. But no.

[B]

What's he got?

[A]

I don't know because he's not even in the top 20.

[C]

That was a really strange shot.

[B]

Left field, that left field.

[A]

It was definitely left field. No, he's nowhere to be seen.

[B]

How many goals has he got?

[A]

He's got 70. Oh, 30, which is 22 goals behind 20th place. So I wouldn't say that was a near miss. Well, Alan, this is your chance for victory. Victory is there before you.

[B]

Not yet.

[A]

Not yet. Not yet. No, not yet.

[B]

Can we have a look at Alan's eyeline, mate? He ever so slightly veers a little bit over his computer here.

[C]

Oh, let me see.

[A]

Can he make it 4:2?

[C]

Would Sonny be in there?

[B]

Oh, great shout.

[A]

Young Minson.

[B]

He's definitely got 100 because I've seen him 100 club.

[C]

Well, if he's got over 100, he has to be in there then surely

[A]

Hyung Min son is joint fifth.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

With 127 goals. Four two, four two.

[C]

Big Meeks. Four two. If you don't get this, you're done.

[A]

Well, not only if you get yours right.

[B]

Three, isn't it?

[C]

Four two. You just said Bruno Fernandez.

[A]

That was a mistake, son. He's, he's now strutting his stuff and doing pretty well in, in Los Angeles. But I, I, he's one of those players that I think was universally liked. Even fans. Probably not Arsenal maybe with that exception. But everywhere else played with a smile on his face. Had that amazing partnership with Harry Kane. What a player. Top for so long for Tottenham. We could do with him now.

[C]

Did he get G of the season once or was he in G season when he was at Burnley when he went from the went inside own 18 yard box on near there and then went and finished it off. Ran all that way.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Was it Burnley? I think it was against Burnley. Was it?

[A]

It was against Burnley, yeah. I remember. I think Tony Pastor, famous Burnley fan. Yeah.

[C]

What a partnership as well with Harry Kieran. He had brilliant and understanding. Great.

[A]

Just a bit. They're both left spurs down and doing great things. But son was I mean, nice guy as well, wasn't he, Micah? Do you always think interviews? Always.

[B]

Lovely guy.

[A]

He could do a bit. He was also quite creative, wasn't he? As well? He had so many assists. He played on that left side. Was when he was at his best.

[B]

Yeah, it was. It was class. Whether he was dribbling or whether he used to come on his right foot and then play that killer ball as well. He was super intelligent and great to watch because he was dynamic. Yeah.

[C]

I was going to say about Harry Kane. Obviously Love played again alongside him, but he hasn't got too bad players either side of him now at Bayern Munich as well as he was. He was brilliant with the understanding that the. The two of them had.

[A]

Yeah. At least saying, Marnie, right over to you, Mike. You really do need to get this right.

[B]

I've got one anyway. So under the Kosh, Jimmy Floyd Hasselback.

[A]

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbane is a good shout indeed. That is the right answer. And he had exactly the same amount of goals as Young min son with 127. I've worked with Jimmy a few times. He's. He's a lovely guy.

[C]

What a shot he had.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

I mean, the size of his thighs. Jesus. Yeah, he was. He was so well built. I mean, the power.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Volleys. The technique was superb. Unbelievable.

[B]

And he's got his. His hips don't lie. Did they? He was on Strictly.

[C]

Those hips. He was moving.

[B]

He was moving well for a big man.

[A]

Was he good on Strictly? I mean, I. I can't.

[B]

He improved. Let's say I improved.

[A]

Yeah. He could back into a player, couldn't he? Yeah, yeah, he had that. Yeah. A bit like Kenny D Glac in that. That. That sense strength, you know, that, that, that.

[C]

Yeah. That ability to hold a defender off.

[B]

Yeah. And then turn quick and then bang it.

[C]

Smash it. Yes.

[A]

Yeah, cool. He could strike it. Strike it. Sweet. Really good player. Really good guy. Right, the score now is Alan 4, Micah 3. But it's over to you, Alan. I'm gonna wait until we get all this top 10 before to see who wins. I think that's how we're gonna do this. So that if you get two more,

[C]

Alan, I'm still shocked. Mike is saying Bruno Fernandez.

[A]

I know that was.

[C]

That.

[A]

That was left field.

[B]

I don't. I was just. I was struggling to panic.

[C]

Panicked.

[A]

You panicked. Don't panic, Micah. Whatever you do, it's only a quiz. Right, over to you, Alan. This to make a commanding lead.

[C]

I'm thinking.

[B]

I think you. Oh, he's looking.

[C]

I'm thinking again, because of the number of clubs he played for, I'm just thinking West Brom in the Premier League. Played for West Brom as well. I think I'm going to say Lukaku.

[B]

Oh, good shout. I like the others.

[A]

Lukaku.

[C]

Tell me he's in there.

[A]

He's 10th.

[B]

Oh, what's going on here?

[C]

Come on, we need to see the full.

[B]

He's full. Stop there, H. John.

[A]

Alan's not capable of finding it that quick. He's not. That he's. No, there's no way. Not on the tech front, surely? Yeah, Everton. Man United as well.

[C]

Didn't he get over. He got over 20 on a season at West Brom as well, didn't he? Am I right in saying that? Did he?

[B]

Yeah, he got. I remember 18, I think. Did he?

[A]

Yeah, he scored four in one game. Can you remember what game that was?

[C]

4 for West Brom.

[A]

It was the last game of the season against. No, the score was 5. 5, if I remember rightly.

[C]

Oh, right.

[A]

Manchester United. Remember on the last. The champions that already won the league. Man United. I think that. I think I'm right in saying that's the case.

[C]

So that's me one.

[A]

No, no, no, no. You've got to get six to win, obviously, because otherwise Mike can get back to five. But you are in a very good place, Alan, because how many have we got left? We've got 1, 2, 3, 4 joint fifths. We've got 8 and 10. So, Micah, you've got to get this right or Alan's has one because you won't be able to get to five.

[B]

Any clues?

[A]

I can't give you clues.

[C]

He's still one of them. Still playing in a foreign league.

[A]

He's just winding you up here, Mike. I'll give you one clue. That's the only clue I'm gonna give you. Stop it, man.

[C]

Stop it.

[A]

Under the circumstance. Circumstances, I will give you one clue though. They scored more than 100 goals.

[B]

What part of the world we look in?

[A]

Both of them.

[B]

Take me to what. What part of the world we look in.

[A]

English Premier League. What have you got for me? That beard scratching again?

[B]

I've got two potential ones. Do we. Are we counting Ireland in this? What? Because obviously.

[A]

Well, we're not counting goals scored in Ireland. It's goals in the Premier.

[B]

Yeah, but it's foreign goal scorers, isn't it? So I'm saying.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I get. I see what you mean. Yeah, of course.

[B]

Exactly.

[C]

I know who you're Gonna see.

[B]

You know who I'm gonna say, don't you? Yeah, but I've also got another one. Oh, is it what I'm thinking of? What do you think, Al?

[C]

I think that's a decent shout. I think you should go with him

[A]

playing games here with you, Micah. I mean, the thing is, if you. You don't go for that one and

[B]

then I'm going to go for it.

[A]

Or he might. Or he might have his.

[B]

Okay, I'll go. Robbie Keane then. Robbie ke.

[A]

Robbie Keane.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Well, he is Irish and that does qualify.

[C]

It's a good show.

[A]

But he's only in seventh place. He's still in it, Robbie. Seven place. One goal behind Hyung Min Son and Jimmy. Floyd Hasselbank. And one goal ahead of Nicholas and Elko. 126. Go. Bobby Keane. Is the correct answer.

[B]

Oh, can we keep an eye on eye movement, please, guys?

[A]

Do you think he's slightly underrated, is it?

[B]

Yeah, proper.

[A]

Again, not by fellow strikers, but I'm talking perhaps in the. In the greater picture. Well, yeah, because he. He was a. He was a real goal scorer, wasn't he? He's a poacher kind of scorer, really.

[B]

No, but it was his movement. Gas. His movement was extraordinary. Obviously technically he was good and then he could finish, but I think his best asset was his movement. You think you've got him and then he's just gone. And it was so sharp.

[A]

Well, he understood it. He understood how to score goals. You know that attacking space.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Take gambling on an area. And he. And he was a very cool finisher, I think as well. Calm under pressure. You must have played against him a bit out in you.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, where was he started off at Coventry. Then what? Inter, Milan, Spurs, Leeds, the Lev.

[B]

It was just his move to Liverpool that didn't work out. And then Liverpool, it got judged by that. Do you remember 20 million quid at the time.

[A]

Yeah. But what a great career he's managing in.

[C]

Is he managing in Hungary or somewhere now, isn't he?

[A]

I think he's tried everywhere and I

[C]

really admire him for doing Feren's Varasis.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And he's tried, you know, he's obviously really wants to do that and obviously enjoys it and hopefully he'll get a really good chance at some point.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Right. That leaves one name. If you get this right, Alan, you win. If you don't and Micah gets it right, then we have a tie.

[C]

I'm struggling now. I've got a choice of three or four.

[A]

I wouldn't shout them out loud. I know tactically he can't be far

[C]

behind after the number of years he played Man United him or I've got another one in my head. I'm gonna go with. Mane.

[A]

Sadio Mane.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Liverpool.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Well, Alan, I have to tell you that with 111 goals is in 11th place. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Jeez. Oh, deary me. Micah, you can take it to a playoff. And a playoff will mean we'll take Sadio Mane out. But the playoff will mean whoever gets the one that's closest to the top 10 in the. In the 10 to 20 is the winner. But. But you've got to get this name first, Micah. Otherwise Alan gets another go.

[B]

Alan said United and I think he was thinking about the guy that I was thinking. United in vill. That's who you think. You wouldn't. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, look at the face on Ali's.

[C]

No, no, I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking him.

[B]

You said.

[C]

Because I said. Of his long career at Man United.

[A]

He's a poker face. Look at the poker face on Al.

[C]

I was thinking of some. Someone who's been there all his life.

[B]

I was thinking of Yorkie.

[C]

It's a great shout.

[B]

See, if Gus does anything with his

[A]

face there, I will give nothing away. Mike, I have got a poker face.

[C]

Are you seeing him then? Are you?

[B]

When you said him, that's who I was. That was my other one potentially. But. But I'm gonna go with Dwight Yok.

[A]

Dwight York.

[C]

I forgot Dwight York.

[B]

Come on, my fellow Caribbean man. Save me.

[A]

Okay, Dwight York. 123 goals. 9th place.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

He's come back from the dead as Richard.

[B]

I want to come back.

[A]

Right. This is what we're gonna do right here. Yeah. The winner. We've already had Sadio Manish, so he can't count, but I've got nine other names here and I want you both to pick a name. And the highest goal scorer out of those two names wins. So this is it. Who wants. Oh, well, Alan, you've been going first all along, so you get first. First dibs.

[C]

Well, I said my. The guy at Man United just because of. I'm going to say a gigsy.

[A]

You're going to say Ryan Gigs. I'm going to try. I'm giving nothing away here. And Micah, I'm snooking here, guys.

[B]

Now that was my. That was my last option. Any clues to spice it up for the last round?

[A]

That's desperation. Micah, right there. It's Spicy enough as it is. This is do or die.

[C]

Gigsy must have got 100 gold.

[B]

I would have gone with Giggsy as well.

[C]

Would you? You?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, you can't.

[C]

He must have got somewhere around that. I need like late 90s 100 after. What has he been there? Was he 18 years or something?

[A]

I'm waiting for Micah's answer before I give anything away.

[B]

The only one I can think of is someone like Harland island has done 100 any.

[A]

Is that your answer?

[B]

I can't think of anyone else.

[A]

So that is your answer? I'm asking if that's your answer. Yeah.

[B]

Or Didier Drugbird.

[C]

Oh, what a good shout that is. Didier.

[B]

How long's Harlem? Let me do the maths on this. How long's Harlem been at city?

[A]

Now this.

[C]

If you don't hurry up, it could turn into a two day quiz.

[A]

Quiz?

[B]

Yeah, go on.

[A]

I'll go.

[B]

Didier or Harland, Any of those names?

[A]

You can't have both. I need your final answer, please.

[B]

Harland. Harland.

[A]

Harland. Right. Okay. So Alan, you went with Ryan Giggs. Ryan Giggs has scored 108 goals and is in 12th place.

[C]

I've won it.

[A]

So therefore, Micah. Therefore you went with Erling Harland, who is also in 12th place with 108 goals.

[B]

Wow. No way. Yes. People are gonna think we're cheating though.

[A]

I know, but no, I guarantee you you haven't. That's amazing. Right, so we go on.

[C]

Did you Drogba? I'm sick.

[B]

I've only got Drogba left. Drogba. I get to go first this time. It's sudden death, isn't it? First Alan does, now me. Drogba.

[A]

Do you both want Drogba? We'll let you do that on this one.

[C]

He's gone the old reverse psychology there, hasn't he? He's trying to put us off makeup.

[A]

I mean, if either of you wants to choose someone else, I'm going to let you. Right, but you can both have Drog. But on this, just this occasion if you want.

[B]

I can't think of anyone else. Well, you can over 100 or around that. That.

[C]

What did you say? It was 108 for Harland and, and. And gig at 108. So it's less. Less than 108. Micah.

[B]

Oh, they could be tied on 108.

[A]

So as you arguing about who's going first. What. What we going to do here? Are you both.

[C]

No, go on, you can go first. Micah.

[B]

I've already got Drogba.

[A]

Left.

[B]

That's all I got in me.

[A]

So, okay, you're going Drogba. Are you going Drogba as well, Alan, or you're going to go with someone else?

[C]

Well, I mean, it's stupid if we go the same, isn't it? It's ridiculous.

[A]

No, it just hands it down to the next person. So it. Do we just do it again?

[C]

Well, I can't see it. I. Oh, Dr. Just trying to think of, was Ronaldo here long enough? How long was Ronaldo here? Cristiano?

[B]

Oh, good shout. Good shout. I. I don't know if he was here long enough, though.

[C]

Was he? I know that's the only thing I'm. I've got no one else anyway. Now.

[A]

What are you going with?

[C]

Yeah, I'll go Ronaldo. Cristiano.

[A]

Cristiano Ronaldo. And you've got Didier Drogba. Right, so Cristiano Ronaldo scored 103 goals and he's in 15th place. Didier Drogba scored 104 goals. Oh, and he's in 14th place.

[C]

That's outrageous.

[A]

I mean, I have to say, guys, that was a devastatingly good performance from both of you.

[C]

Bloody hell.

[A]

I'm not sure how you grasp victory from the jaws of defeat.

[B]

There.

[A]

Goodbye for me.

Goodbye for me.
