417 - Why Bournemouth's Brentford Hoodoo HAS to End...

0:00This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. On Saturday, AFC ball with Welcome Brentford, a team who we've had a torrid time against recently. Indeed, we've never beaten them in the Premier League. Cherries are looking for their first league win of the season. Thankfully, we got one in the cup, but as the likes of Kalam Wilson, Dangle Otara, and Jaden Antony returned to Dean Court once again, can Boscom sting the bees? You never heard that one before, right? Welcome to the Big Match preview. Brentford at home. Can't wait, mate. Can't wait. Yes. No, I feel weirdly optimistic. Yeah, because I think it's like a bit bogie side. I'm not too sure.

1:00Bit of a bogie side, but I think sometimes when it feels like we've been a little bit hard done by the first three games, in the sense that we've conceded so late, that you can't go, oh, we haven't just had an other luck and then you go, this is where it's going to swing. So where's going to swing? Don't give me a normal comment, they've looked good again. I'm really good last season, but then I'm being unbelievable and they've thrown away a few points. Yeah, I fancy us, and I think even though it was Lincoln, and we didn't really have, there was no real jappily in the game from when we scored, but that can do a lot for momentum shift and just lift the lads a little bit. We've got that off our backs now, that first one, so hopefully we can kick on. They've thrown away a few points. I tell you what, this one could be interesting. Maybe late goals all over the place, but look, we haven't caught up since that Lincoln victory. What did you make of it? Yeah, I'm really, really good, though. I think listening to a play against who's putting it in front of you. But at this point, we're linking, but then I wonder if that's because of how much control we had. Because I thought they got enough of the lose. They might as well just put it on us and lost 4-0.

2:01But at least they had one flick on the D-Grokes command and got lucky did everything by the way, the cat. A D-Grokes, a lot of D-Grokes. I think the team selection was really good because you could, he was always going to make some changes and he did it, make loads of changes. But I think the ones he kind of kept in, he wanted to give, you know, do a key to someone that we're going to have to rely upon with, you know, the amount of games we've got, struggle last season. So to give him a game where you go and you've got silver one side here, and then Hill's going to play it right by the way. It bound to have calmed him down, and I thought he was very good. So I think that was clever and also a bit better in the air at the feds week, because they were only going to go long. He kept climbing anything quite workout, but he obviously kept Justin in to think, this could be a game where he maybe gets a goal and gets him going again. Subbs were good. Talked change to the game, I thought would he come on, even, just keep putting some more control. And yeah, you can't get any better, make them a clean sheet, four goals and ride Christy atchara, I mean, there's a lot of us, I mean, I felt for you because you were the 10 Mac weren't you? I mean, I know you still get a decent view, but obviously that second half was just full of us all there, because I'm right on that goal.

3:02It was an onslaught mate, and we should have won quite more really. But yeah, you can't like who that was, and it was really comfortable and assured performance. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Colin Bigtails' match day vlog. He took you through the game, he was in the South Stand as well. But look, with Real Sociedad in mind, I want to ask you a question, because often we've not been in Europe, of course, and we've played a team that's been in Europe on either Wednesday or Thursday, and we're wondering, oh, what will they do when they play us? At this point, we know that there are certain players that aren't in the Europa squad, such as Ben Ganado, but in terms of the others, will this be a team selection that Marco Rosa has Thursday in mind already, or do you think it's mainly that Thursday Sunday? Match combination, where he does that? Yeah, probably more so next week, like you say, when we got the lead game after, I think it helps that he knows we've got Earth, I mean, they won't all have it, because some of them are going into AstroDue, but we've got to break round the corner, and this is the first time we've got that kind of. And to be fair, we've just had that link and one as well,

4:02so that could play a part. But I think ultimately it's not going to change too much. Maybe some of the, because we've said there's been a few players that have missed out on the bench. So for example, he's probably more likely to put Jefferson on the bench than Alvaro, because Alvaro is in the European squad, so he'll have to go where he's Jebocan. And like you say, Ganado might potentially get more minutes because of that as well. So yeah, I'll have to wait and see, but I think at the moment, I think he'll just want to get our first win under a spell mail, and won't be thinking too much about Thursday just yet. So one thing we need to do, if we get the chances to put Rumpford to the sword, and not have that slim scoreline, that's one thing we did well, of course, against Lincoln. You just wonder, had it stayed 1-0? What are that kind of defensive mindset of kicked in? But Bournemouth will be aware that we've dropped 29 points from winning positions since the start of last season, more than any other Premier League side. And of course, we've got that horrible stat, of course, having led three Premier League games this season and not won any of them. Apparently there was another side to do this. That was Chelsea at the very beginning of the Premier League.

5:04But no team has ever led each of its opening four matches in the Premier League season without winning any of them. But Bournemouth do like to break records, they write. But look, despite poor stats, and despite a few head losses on social media, we've still actually been pretty good. Indeed, I think Bournemouth have recorded seven direct attacks more than any other Premier League side this season. We've still got that identity, haven't we? Yeah, definitely, mate. I think there was chunks of the evidence again that were a bit disappointing. But there was a massive chunk where we just should have got the second up. And I don't actually think when they scored, they looked a lot of score. And it was more, if I think it's easy to forget the before we took the lead with Alex Scott, the picture it's made to be exciting. So that moment was a bit, the city where I thought we were excellent and they were always going to put it on us a little bit. Newcastle, I think we tied and we've spoken about how we probably should have freshened it up earlier. But in the main, we've been exciting. We've been good to watch. We look like we can score a lot of goals. We've just been a little bit vulnerable at the back. But as you just alluded to there, mate, with the stats,

6:04it goes back a long way in this leading position. Before Marco Arota, it just doesn't look good. It's the first three in a row. But yeah, I'm more than happy with what I've seen. And it's obviously if you keep going without a win, then it starts becoming redundant at the point. But at the moment, I'm just looking at a game where two good will be fine. But you still need to just go and tick off that win. And I think that obviously will find out. But I think that link and win could do a lot for a lot for them. You know, that winning feeling back amongst the group and stuff. And just show that if when we're on it, we can just blow teams away at times. So yeah, I don't know. I'm quite optimistic about this, which I don't like either, actually. As you can see, we are at the courtroom at the QP, the spiritual home of AFC, ball of supporters every match day. And of course, we encourage you to get down here before the game on Saturday. It's going to be open from what just after 11 maybe. There's going to be match day food, pints from £4.20 as well. Plus some big prizes to be won, right? Yeah, there's a roll over on the raffle mate, roll over. Even though I was in no loads ticket, I still win anything.

7:06Why is that? Because you were drinking a lot. Or was that because other people were giving you their tickets because they couldn't come back afterwards? Probably barf. But no drink. No, I know. But it's, I'm just doing it support the part. No, yeah. 100 pound is second prize, not first. Wow, OK. 100 pound for the win. Make sure you get down here. And they'll give you a rough ticket when you get you drinking. Yeah, what you want is you always want one of the lively ones to win it. I get some drinks here. J2Os all round. And then we've got the, there's a 8 p.m game. Yes, there is. Among TNT, Sunday and last, so that'll be good to celebrate the win against Brentford. Come back in here after you drink, then you can watch that one. And then we've also got, we're going to probably travel to Santa Bastion. Will we? I reckon we'll be there. We might do. But if you're not, we're going to try and definitely make this happen if you're not. They'll obviously be showing it in here. Try and get a bit of a harbour there for fans that can't go. And then it's still full. You know, you're all the neighborhood cherries fans watching again. That'll be great. So they'll be showing it in here.

8:06For sure. So Brentford versus AFC Bournemouth, the premier league record we've got against them is not very good. We've not beaten them home and away in our eight encounters against them. At Dean Court, the cherries have had two goalers draws. The last time we beat the B's at home, can you remember? There was one of the few there. And technically, it doesn't feel like a win because it was the first leg. Yeah. And it was one of the few games got to see under Jonathan Woodgate. I think it was, was it a ballot or something? It was, yeah. Yeah. It was about 2000 fans. Something like that. And it was one deal, get it down, do you imagine it? Yeah. And then we went one deal off at that place and lost it. And then we got to that. And that was down there. And that was down there. And that was down there. Oh. Before that, I can't even think when they're, I remember, I remember beating them once here. Maybe our first championship season. One deal. Yeah. It was a very early on. Yeah. But very early on. Yeah. You did a season, I think. Yes, it was early in the season. After, I mean, that's over a decade ago. It's like, God. Yeah, not a great record against them, mate. I remember, I remember, I remember the first time at their place, we could see this so late.

9:06Dean Kirk is slip. Yeah, he did, yeah. I think it was in Bumo School for a two-two. But, that's a good game. The room last season was horrific at that place we got. But it was a turning point. Yeah. That four-one to see at their place was a turning point. But it's got to end at some point, surely. But I'm sure Newcastle fans say that about us. Well, in all competitions, Bumo's have won 39, drawn 35, and lost 47 against the bees. At home, our record is a little bit better. Of course, we've played them across the Premier League pretty much every division going, even the Division III South at home, 126, drawn 13, lost 16. Now, Bumo's and Brentford have actually recorded 12 and 11. Premier League draws respectively in 2026. That's actually amongst the highest totals in the division. And it was a draw when we played them last at Dean Kirk. That was backing March, wasn't it? Yeah, some of that. It felt weird like a bit of a run of disappointing draws, didn't we? Yeah, because we had that, Sunderland. Leeds. Leeds, before that was West Ham.

10:07Oh, god, yeah, kind of. Oh, nice. Great. But, yeah, that was a disappointed, one of the best games in the world. We could have nicked it, but Brentford kept us out pretty well. I think we had a, I think it's a menu had a big chance. You hit the bar, I think. Yeah, in the late stage. And then I remember us calling for a potential penalty right at the end of the game. But, yeah, we just couldn't quite, couldn't quite nicked that one, maybe it's always a difficult one against them. But, I don't know, it's got to change, mate. It's got to change. It's got to change. But Brentford, fair play, since they've come into the Premier League, they've been absolutely smashing it. And you know what, this is quite controversial thing to say. I actually quite like to see them do well. Yeah, I don't mind at all, if I can. I actually really do. And I'm going to say something even more controversial that maybe Cherries fans wouldn't like. I know we've got European football and they've never had to European football. But I weirdly feel that they're a steadier club. We're in the NUS maybe. Although maybe they think that about us, I don't know. Maybe, I think we've probably got a little bit more quality in terms of high ceiling and individual players. So we've probably got a bunch of players there that we're looking at more 700 million there.

11:10They give it take. They probably haven't got quite as many. But that also means that there's less turnover of players. Because they had that spelled in, they obviously totally went there and boomer went there. They were so went. And a bit like us when we lost our whole backline, the way they recovered from that was so impressive. And I forget that they actually looked like they were going to get European diddened. Whereas we looked like we're going to miss out and got it. Really, they were above us most of the season. And then we managed to catch them. Because when you list the things now, literally list to a podcast, if a day, and they were talking about last season and stuff, they're going teams that really surprised people like Sunford and Brentford. And they just asked like, we finished the Bobbro. But they were above us most of the season. I'm sure of it. But Andrews come in and everyone's, I do like a prediction for everyone shout to be the first manager sacked. And he's just been a breath of fresh air and he's been absolutely brilliant for him though. He just doesn't look like a football manager. He doesn't look like one. But they finished 59. 53 points. The highest finish since Thomas Frank was their manager in the 22-23 season.

12:10That was also a ninth place finish. But on 59. But yeah, they've made some signings in the summertime. Haven't they? They spent a bit of money. Did spend a bit of money. Obviously they managed to get kind of awesome and were free. We knew he'd end up somewhere. I've always liked to see him. He still imagines a career on the prayer and tell you what. He's right now with Crouperin, because I love him as an option of the bed. Class acting. So that was a sensible while I felt obviously they brought on another export plan, J Nancety. Only 17 million, which I think is a good deal. Still at a decent age. A lot of punny-loved experience now. I thought we might have a little look at him actually. Did we get any money for that? I think we might have got a little bit. Yeah. They got Jeff in from West Ham. 40 million, but he's been a bit backed up at the moment. But I think the main one was San Gare, 39 million from Lonson already. I mean, everyone's rave about him. I saw him in the first game. Well, Jesus, they already reckon he's going to be like £100 million. Oh my God. He's a beast in that middle. So quite interesting to see how he plays in that middle of midfield. I expect him to be in there. And then obviously Alex Scott's been super close to him. He's been really, really intriguing battle, I think.

13:11But yeah, they've done, like I said, it does really clever business. And didn't let too many kind of big players go. I think Pinnock went, but he was getting on a bit. He went to cough. I think on the extra sign, apparently, for cough as well after the loan. So he managed to keep the bulk of it, which after the loan. Which after the success of last season. Yeah. I thought someone might come in for Teago because he's not. Yeah. But I'm the master key holder of him. So him and Ryan will know each other well from, of course. Of course. Yeah. Well, they've had a very good start this season. Of course, smashed Marcus Sinesse's top of the Mottesburg 3-0, the drill way at Leeds 1-0. And then a home match in Sunderland as well. That was 1-0. I think they smashed Birmingham 6-1 in the lead cup as well at St Andrews. So they've started really well indeed. They could equal their joint longest unbeaten league run under Keith Andrews, previously achieved in January. That would, that's 6-1-0. We could. How have we played? There's so many of us. There's so many of us. We'll play anyone that's lost yet. I know. Because even ever that lost yet. New course went lost.

14:11City and lost. And Liverpool were playing off of that. Yeah, that's a great loss, yeah. The crazy, isn't it? Absolutely scary. Well, Marco Rosas had his press conference at the Performance Centre. Tom. Any injury news or anything like that? No, we're looking decent, we're looking in a nice spot. And he actually spoke about the kind of four longer term ones. And that sounds quite healthy. So I think, I mean, a savage, which I'm surprised about is probably the soonest to be back. Yeah. Daddy said, Adley will be after that. And Croupey, the hope and start of November along with a row host. So, for Croupey, I'm never thinking about Christmas time. If you can get about the start of November, that's four players there. So that'll be really, really good for the squad. And it will allow us to rotate a little bit more. But yeah, nothing fresh. So it will be interesting how he puts that side out, because I think you'll be on one ad you'll see how he did against Newcastle, I think, God, we were good. Especially that first half. But then you go, have a few of them give him some headaches after Lincoln, yeah? Yeah, yeah, potentially. Ryan Christine could be one of them, maybe, he's one to look out for. If he starts, we'll check out Tom's predicted team very shortly.

15:11But Alex Scott, of course, rested in the week on on Tuesday. And he was on the bench, by the way. He was on the bench. He was on the bench. Marcus Tavinello as well. Scott Trey goes in his last four, Premier League games for the cherries. He's also recorded five shots on target with only Irling Harland having more this season so far. So there's a few players for Brentford fans to look out for. In terms of Brentford team news, a couple of people. Yeah, I'm not sure. I think, they said Collins came off, Dininger gets sundered and by the thing he might be okay. I think the rest of them that are out still out so Janssen figures to Silver and Van der Bergen-Malambo. But apart from that, I think they're at a decent spot as well, Moe. They've got a few options, especially in their attacking areas. Obviously, we alluded to a few of the X-Ball with one, so be interested in how they line up. And in terms of players to watch you mentioned Tiago, I mean, 20 to goals. That's incredible. Yeah, and I remember he bullied us a little bit at times at their place. Obviously it was a four-one defeat where most of them bullied our players.

16:11I'm sharded in as well. It's really the operator here. I do that every time. Yes, I do. That's why I'm funny, though. I hope he doesn't play. But he does, yeah, he does seem to pop up. But then equally often they've got some good options out there with Jane and Dan Go as well. And I mentioned San Gare, but I also like, I've always really like Dam's Guard in the midfield. I play a super high. I just think he's a really clever footballer, so he's definitely one to watch as well, mate. So what time should Brentford fans be getting to Dean Corks at the weekend? Because, look, Brentford fans aren't aware. But with fans, we'll be, what happened with these cues, mate, in terms of people getting it there? Is it just because it's the cup? I mean, what are people doing? The cues looked horrific. Yeah. Everyone got in quicker than normal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So normally you're the cue that looked bigger, that takes forever to get in. So what, because I saw people, and I was like, I was right at the back of the cue there. And I was, my mate was in, like, too much later. So not really sure exactly what happened, but, yeah, we still haven't got all the turns, the turns, the gates, and that open at the moment.

17:11No, that's right. So, yeah, there will be some more in operation eventually, of course. But, yeah, like you say, the cues did move quickly. I think what some of the issues were, was that people haven't got their tickets prepared. That's what it sounds like. So a lot of them had their pack downs, and then there's a short three metre walk between the shield and the turnstile. And they're thinking, oh, where's my ticket? And they have to download the ACB app. And then certain phones that aren't like an older iPhone, you can't upgrade the iOS to a version that supports the app, because it's now NFC. So they're thinking, okay, how do I get in? I need to show you my QR code and all this kind of stuff. People hadn't added it to their wallet. It was carnage. Get your tickets ready, and things will be absolutely fine. But will it be fine, though, in terms of the referee? I guess I'm... Oh! He did man sit here away. I thought he refereed it quite well. I thought, oh, I just... I hate him. Jack and Rob's gonna like him. He's just kidding.

18:11He was given the Lincoln keepers some stick. Yeah, he's Australian. Yeah, like X-Adelaide. Like Galt Shee was there? Yeah, on loan from Villa. So he was pretty... I didn't realise how bad, for a Chris, he's actually the punch. The awful punch out. It felt straight to us, a little bath I was just. To be honest, obviously I joke around it, because I don't think any of the raps are that good. But if you said one, it can't be. I want to say, get it. I just think he's the one that I think wants to make it about him the most. I was chatting to Rob at the first Game of Season, it's ever said. We were chatting about referees and stuff. And he said that in Australia, at least, he was leagues and leagues above any other referee. Yeah, that's why he got two. And he did that mic-top thing on YouTube that we were talking about. And we were all so. But I thought in the first Game Against Manchester City, one thing he did well was not set a president early by making a booking where he really could have where Adam Smith took him and his opponent's menu. And he sort of let it go as long as he possibly could without making but unlike say other games, where referees are very card happy. So you know what?

19:11I love Jared Gillett. Hopefully, that means he's going to be kind enough to us and give us the three points. Things crossed. Right. Should we do the Predictor Teams at Tom? Oh, well, obviously I got 22 out of 22. Last week. Last week, not linking. I'd say. I think I got a right on linked. Did you? But they actually went stronger than I thought. But yeah, I think 22 out of 22 against Luke Arsenal and I predicted two, two. So, you know, when you just, you're on one, aren't you? So I'm going to, it's almost like now I'm going to do a few stepovers. I'm going to take a few gowns. I don't want to play it safe now. I've got that in the bag. But Patrick is going to be going, I love Deegro. Okay. Back four, we're going to keep as Per really, Adam Smith, James Hill, Antonio Silver, and Adely Untruth Fetter. Scottie's obviously going to play. I'm going to bring him Ryan Christie. Yeah. And I'm actually going to take out Adams, which might be a little bit more forward thinking. But the reason I'm going to do that is because I want to bring Gannon Doak in as well. I think Clive that's not being at his best, and he started again. So if I've got a Doak in for him,

20:12Tavineer, Ryan, and Evan Ilson. And I think the way it can line up could be so different. But it could be kind of a Gannon Doak on one side, Ryan on the other. We'd have in the 10. But equally, they can move around. We're Tav can go back up wide and Ryan can go more centrally. Which we've spoke about a lot that can he do that. So yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Cut the changes in there, mate. Christie, just because he had a hat truck and was brilliant. And I think Gannon Doak as well. And as you've caught a match earlier, Gannon Doak is one of the ones that's not in the European squad. So he can maybe get a little bit more out of him. For his noticeable, he didn't need to take him off, and he did against Lincoln. I thought, well, okay. You could just keep a play like that on strong. It's going to go. I wonder if there's a little bit of thinking there, mate. So yeah, it's on ground. Why do you think he took Clive at off so early? Because that was a substitution that was made in around 60 minutes. There was, which is what we used to do a lot, don't we? I actually just thought. I literally said. I literally said, look, Clive is knackin' and we used to take him off around 60 minutes. But that wasn't anything he's keeping on for this game, mate. No, I think that was, because I was quite, when you knew all the changes you were going to make, I felt for talk that he didn't get to start, because he hadn't played any football. It was quality, right? It was quality, really.

21:12I think it was always the case of, we're going to give court totally some power. So I think there's probably not too much to read into it. So six British players are starting line up according to television. Did you remember there was a game like last season, before last season, I think it was one of our first ever teams that we'd named where there was no British players? Yes. Or was it no English players that might have been a Ryan Christie in there all the time? Yeah, but anyway, let's do Brentford. 4-2-3-1, what are you going for? Yes, Kelli Hart and Goal, for sure. If I really, I'll be mentioning that right back, the interest see what we do on that left side, because he's shut, attacking, and the worrying thing is he's got hell of a long throat. Both their full backs really can be a threat. Yes. I will definitely play a center off. I'm going to stick with Collins at the moment. We don't know how bad his injury is, but I think he's going to be all right. And like you said, Lewis Potter, who is my little dark shout for? He's got everything in call up. So I think he's so underrated. And he could play White Mcfield as well. San Gauri, as I mentioned earlier, will be in there. Janout, he's also starting the season well. Dan's gone in front of them in that kind of ten row. And I'm going to put both cherries. I'm going to, could easily be Sharda.

22:12I'm just going to mix it up and go, Dango, Ratar and Janout. Because I don't want to leave you even with them out. How do you think Dango will play? They can both play on either side as well. So mix it up and obviously, I'll go through the middle. I don't think they're going to go for the cherries from free just yet. But if Kelli Hart also comes on that, probably means we're winning. So I would like to see him. Once again, we're doing a game of guests. The possession congratulations to Nikki Shepard, who last week won a £10 AFCB Superstore voucher. Plus a back-of-the-net mug that was rolled over from the previous week. What is this week? I hear you cry. Well, take a look at this bad boy print here. This is beautiful. It is of Dean Kohl. It's going to be nicely framed up for you. And this bad boy can be yours. And you know how? Just by guessing the possession. On the round table. On the round table website. Not on the comments here. So in our pinned comment, click that. You may have to register if you've not done it before. Takes about 10 seconds. We'd really appreciate any new follows there.

23:12But that'll go straight to the post. Put a reply in. And put the possession predictions for both sides. Let's have a look. Make sure it adds up to 100. Please, please. It's about actually the old one. It's quite funny. Yeah, yeah. Just put a score line. It's happened. I think this is really tough. Well, actually, just touch it. Yeah, it is. This is going to be, I'm just going to put out there because it's in my head. Like, I think it happens now. Like I said, 50, 50. Yeah. I feel like this could be the 50, 51. Yeah. It could be the 50. Who's done 50 for? Remember that? Lamar. Dim-dim-dim-dim-dim. What else is it? He's as bang as la-la. James Taylor. Yeah. I'm going to go 50, 50, this one. But it's too fair. I thought the Newcastle game was the hard one to get. So, well done. I keep getting that one. But look at the photos for me. Are you confident? I'm going. Because last, to be fair, last week, I went first and sent two to. And you genuinely have a good time. Right. I'll let you take the reins for this one because I can work around you. Okay. AFC Bunga 2, Brentford 1. I think it's going to be, I think, shot.

24:12I mean, this is the law of averages more than anything else. It can't be like AFC Bunga's not getting a win for so long. It's got to be now. And look, and Tony's gone. He's old news. He scrapes past teams like Athletic Hayme Dread. Don't worry about that. Imagine playing on Wednesday as well, by the way. First thing that lasts to start the week and you're on Thursday night football. I love it. I'll go for 2-1. What are you going for? I'm going to go with, oh, it's quite optimistic, I suppose. I do think that was cool. So I'm going to go for 3-1. But I'm going to go, it's going to be tight. 3-1 sounds like it's going to be comfortable. And I just think, remember the fun on game at home. Where it's really tight and we're holding on and then we just have one end breaks. And I think with their fullbacks getting high up, I reckon they'll go for it and we'll just break on them. And Jeboh to finish it off and get the 3-1. I remember Chant and Rob in the key side in Newcastle and I was just going around doing the pre-match stuff. And I asked him for his prediction. And he's like, oh, you know, Ben's already napped the one also. I'm going to go for 2-1. You can do the same thing. It doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, sorry. I just take it, yeah. By January, I'm feeling the 3-1.

25:12I think we look, I do think we're creating, we think like Newcastle's game, mate. All the games. For the Brentford, mate. They are, but we are creating a lot of chances. So I'm hoping that we can just finish our dinner a little bit more. I think it's our time now. I really believe this one. Well, I really, I know there's part of me that's going, I can just see me now after the game going, well, I can't be late on. But yeah, that's obviously nothing against Brentford at all because I like you, Senmeh. I quite like to hear it do well. It feels like we've been on a similar journey. Definitely, yeah. And the more I look at that kind of the particular team, that are powerful, they have got some really, really good players. And I do like what Andrew's doing there. But I'm just hoping that on the day, I think this is one that a neutral would just go. Like you mentioned, the stat about the draws. Yeah. I think a neutral go. What a draw. Yeah. Quite often is, but hopefully we can make this one. So if you're watching on YouTube or even listening on Spotify, put your score predictions in the comments. We would love to know, but don't forget the ACV print. That is through our roundtable website. Really want to get up to about 500 followers on that by, oh, let's call it the end of the month.

26:12So if we can do that, we would love it. So get on board and win this print. And I'll send it out to you. If you're local, I may even get time to handle it. Or I will. Who knows. But either way, thank you so much for watching all listening. And I will see you at Dean Cork. On Saturday. Come on. You're going to do them. Come on.
