Hi, Gemini. The football transfer window's open. How are my team's stats looking? Well, your team definitely has a lot of star power. Do you think we're going to have a good season? It's going to come down to consistency and a little bit of luck on your side. I'll let you know if we win. I'll be keeping an eye on the scores. Yeah, me too. Now we're talking.

Picture this. You're halfway through a DIY car fix, tools scattered everywhere, and boom, you realise you're missing a part. It's okay, because you know whatever it is, it's on eBay. They've got everything. Brakes, headlights, cold air intakes, whatever you need. And it's guaranteed to fit, which means no more crossing your fingers and hoping you ordered the right thing. All the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time. eBay. Things people love.

Talk Sport Daily.

Anyway, that fellow over there who's always interested in his old husband. Hello, mate. Hello, mate. Hello, mate. And of course, we begin the podcast with all the Champions League chat. Or UCL, as some people call it. Yeah. With Pep Guardiola's main city facing Pusica. I think you've got it wrong. What? It's Pusk. Facing Pusk. It's an acronym. Pusk. Acronym. It doesn't say acronym. It says Pusk. No, it doesn't say acronym, but it is an acronym. Mouthwatering stinks. Yeah, mouthwatering clash over in Paris.

Now, the match stinks was live on TalkSport and here's how we reacted. Has anyone seen Manchester City? Jackie Knuckles? No Gallagher? No Gallagher? Can you hear me? You're watching with a little bit of beating. Sarah Collins? You're watching with a little bit of beating. You ever been to Paris, Jay? Stinks I have, mate. Didn't you take someone? Who did you take up the Eiffel Tower? My mum. But if City were to lose here, they might need to beat both Bruges next week and hope that something else drops their way to make it into the playoffs. Ball it back! Stinks!

Silva, well saved, drilled into the net by Grealish. Manchester City lead, finding Grealish, left-hand side of the penalty area.

On the edge of the six-yard box, back towards Nunes, Haaland is there, he taps it in, and City have two in three minutes. Sparkler making his way forward for PSG, Dembele, there's one back, pretty much straight away. Worked back by Dembele, left-hand side of the penalty area, another shot from distance, goes back up the bar, and then a shot across the face of the goalkeeper, comes back on the inside of the post and in. Yards outside the penalty area, right of centre, ball inside the box, 3-2.

Pass. Everybody. Manchester City let this disintegrate in the way that they have. Aguini helping it on. Ramos. Edge of the area. Top right-hand corner. Offside. He's going to count. Gonzalez.

Tep probably, he just can't believe what's going on. At the moment, you sort of go from week to week to week and think, hopefully we've got past this stage, we've got a victory, you know, and you think, hang on a minute, has the corner been turned? And the door gets slammed solely in your face again and you go, as I said to you before...

you're back to square one, one step forward, two steps back almost, with the evolution of the team, and getting over this bad run, it's absolutely incredible, I hope for an English team's point of view, a Manchester City's point of view, they do their work next week, but they're anything but a Champions League winning outfit, you can tell that at the moment, there's not enough confidence within the ranks, there's not enough energy within the ranks, players were losing possession of the ball in bad areas,

And on turnover possession, you need more energy from the players at the front end of the team to say, I'm ready for that ball in behind or into feet, wherever it may be. And to be fair, TSG show more energy from start to finish, really, especially that second half.

Man City will need to win on the final day next Wednesday to get through. A win will definitely get them through to a play-off. Anything else and City will be out of Europe. City home to Bruges, Celtic go to Aston Villa. We've had an incredible night of European football tonight. Next Wednesday, the TalkSport Network will bring you an even more dramatic night in this Champions League. City led 2-0, PSG came back to win 4-2. City on the brink of a Champions League exit, on the brink

of state-sponsored failure. What can Abu Dhabi do? Talk Sport Daily. In the end, we have to play. We could not. So it's not about, OK, 0-2, we go 90 minutes, and the rest of the game we go into the box. You have to play. You could not. They keep the ball and make an extra pass. I give credit to PSG because it was not easy how aggressive they are. And after that, we scored the 2-1 quick and the 2-2. At the same time, we scored the first one and the second always quick. So we could do it. And PSG, in that moment, they felt it.

in the moment gives the one and two of course the momentum with the crowd what they are playing for it's normal it's normal the situation there in the you know how they push it and we could not have the ball we could not that's why I tried to Wundo with Maka or whatever to keep it we checked they had to keep the ball but we could not do it they looked scared of their own shadow man honestly what are they doing couldn't get out they were getting the press when they were squeezing

They'd done it with such intensity and such organisation that there weren't many gaps. City couldn't get out. I've seen that sort of thing there. I've seen City do that to teams. Completely destroyed them. Congratulations to PSG. They were excellent. Man City, shadow of themselves, mate. That's not a side. You can see why they struggled this season. You can talk about, you know, Rodrigo. Rodri. Rodri, sorry, missing. You can talk about him all day long.

But that today, that's not why they got beat. They got beat today because they got out-fought, out-battled completely all over the pitch. Second half, yeah, absolutely. John Stones comes on. I don't know what he's done for the header. He's tried to flick it, I think. He's got to go and meet that. He's got to go and edit. Let's go to Big Baz. He's a Man City fan. Big Baz. All right, Big Baz. Daggers. Absolute daggers at the Pepster.

No, no, no. He didn't look happy. But do you know what, though? You couldn't get out. None of the City players look happy these days. That's the point. Pepe's too much. If you're that intense and in somebody's ear, after the bit, you go, well, I'm not listening to you anymore. I'm sick of it. OK, so what do you want us to do then, Baz? Do you want to sack him? Mm.

No. No. So what do you want to do then? I'm not being funny. Somebody needs to have a bit of a word with him, can't they? What would you say? Imagine Pep's listening. Pep's listening now. Pep's listening. Speak to Pep. Go on. Go on. What do you want to say to Pep? Why are you necking a bit, son? They're giving you all they've got. Why are you necking? It's the first thing you say to Pep. That's the first thing you're going to say to him when you meet Pep. Why are you necking Pep? Did you say, why are you necking, son?

Yes, absolutely. You can't say that to Ben. I've heard that to most people. I've no problem telling people to wind their neck in because sometimes people are a bit over the top. You go, hang on, wind your neck in, son. You know what I mean?

The final whistle has blown and Arsenal have all but reached the Champions League knockout stages. Mikel Arteta's team up to third in the league phase. Declan Rice with a very early goal to set them on their way. Kai Havertz heading into second.

and the skipper Martin Odegaard right at the end there to wrap it up. Five victories from seven league-phase matches for Arsenal who are set to be right up there with the genuine contenders for that much-coveted Champions League crowd. We know pretty much that they're going through to the knockout stages. Arsenal have beaten Dinamo Zagreb

by three goals to nil. The only thing that they're being questioned about at the moment is the finishing isn't it and to put the finishing touches to a couple of the opportunities that they made this evening I think is important, it's important not only for the look of the scoreline but also the feel of it for the players and for Odegaard in particular he's not hit the heights of last season in terms of goals.

That'll give him a boost and also the nature of the goal, getting in the box, finishing an opportunity in those moments. I think that is important because he's such a talented player, he should be scoring double figures every season because he's got the ability to. It's just about the desire and the timing of the runs. Yeah, very happy overall, obviously. It's a massive step, what we've done tonight, put us in a really strong position.

before we played the last game in Jerome and overall scoring three goals, created plenty of chances, dominated the game and don't consider that shots and another clean sheet at home. So overall very happy.

Celtic won, young boys still. Celtic in a precious late winner and a spot in the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time in 13 years with a game to spare. The goal came four minutes from the end, sub and

Adam Ida's shot was saved by Marvin Keller but the ball ricocheted off captain Loris Benito and into his own net. Moments later, Dyson Maeda was red carded for a kick, it didn't matter. Celtic at the win, next for them Villa Park but they've already confirmed their place in the top 24 of the Champions League. Celtic 1, Young Boys 0. I've been involved in many of the games here where you end up drawing that game and it's a bit flat at the end.

And even worse, lose a game when you shouldn't have. But for us to win it, I think it shows the maturity and it shows the development of this squad. So, I'm so pleased for everyone. I want to hear Jason Cundey say two words tonight. Congratulations to Celtic. I did, I've said it. Well done. Congratulations. I've done it already. Top of the show. We don't deserve to be in the Champions League. You always say that every match day. He does. I didn't. I've not said that. He does say that. I've never said that. Chris, I've never said you don't deserve to be in it.

when we get beat off Dortmund. Come on, mate. You got beat by Dortmund. You said they're embarrassing the Champions League, embarrassing Scottish football. They did. Shouldn't be in it. No, I never said they shouldn't be in it. Yeah, you did. I never said that. Jason Cundey. Find it. We will find it. Find it. You said Celtic don't deserve to be in it. No, I've never said that. Never said that. Go on then, Chris. What do you want to say? Stop trying to get away from me. I never said it. You need to apologise to Celtic fans. You absolutely...

Absolutely buried them after that Dortmund game. I know, right? Buried them. Mate, they had the pants pulled down. They got a whooping. They were in the playoffs. Well done. Whooping. The richest club in the world could be crashed now. I was actually at the game tonight. Which one? And it's one of the best at the Celtic game. Oh, right, okay. Sorry, I thought you mentioned about City.

I know it was just City, obviously. You know, the richest club in the world could be crashing out of Europe. I know. Fingers crossed, eh? You know, I would love to see them crash out of Europe. I'd like to see Silvier go deep into the comp. Why? Just to see your smug face. Why do we deep in the... They're going out, mate, next round, aren't they? They start mixing with the big boys. Talk Sport Daily.

Picture this, you're in the garage, hands covered in grease, just finished tuning up your engine with a part you found on eBay. And you realize, you know what? I could also use new brakes. So where do you go next?

Back to eBay. You can find anything there. It's unreal. Wipers, headlights, even cold air intakes. It's all there. And you've got eBay guaranteed fit. You order a part and it doesn't fit, send it back. Simple as that. Look, DIY fixes can be major. Doesn't matter if it's just maintenance or a major mod. You got it. Especially when things are guaranteed to fit. So

So when you dive into your next car project, start with eBay. All the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time. eBay. Things people love.

Talk Sport Daily. Now here's Man United Champions League winner Rio Ferdinand discussing his old club and why Marcus Rashford needs to leave Old Trafford in this window. I don't think you can think about what if he's not working here, whoever that is. So most of the players at the club aren't working at the club. So if they go, you can't look and go, oh, I found... Because McTominay probably still would have been doing the same thing he was doing at Man United. The worrying thing as a club, when you look at it, even supporters, you look at it and you go...

these players are going away and they're looking like they're just spreading their wings and breathing again and they look like McTominay looks brilliant look at Ed Anger it's not in the forest by the way I was talking to him the other day I just can't believe even Sancho's doing he looks a different person not even a player a different person at Chelsea and Gannaccio I think some of the players that's why I think with Rashford I

I think if I'm sitting now and I'm advising now, just go. Now, Stinks, in the most recent of Daily Poddy things. Oh, yeah. Yours truly. That's me. That makes me a jazz name. Labelled Liverpool dull and boring, Stinks. Maybe boring's a bit harsh, but dull. Causing Simon Floppy, and I don't know how many a job beat you really do, to hit back at the sports bar. Call us a Sesame Street sports bar broadcasting. You what?

If you're talking to me about results and getting things done and the best team, I won't have that argument. What I'm saying is, I just find them dull. What's happened to Cundie? He's just lost his head for a minute. Simon. Far from dull. Far from dull. Yeah, I mean, but we're not listening to the Oxford Union of debating, are we? We're listening to the Sesame Street version of sports discussion. That's a compliment, isn't it? Yeah, I'd be happy to take that. Who would you be in Sesame Street? Who's that? Ernie. Ernie. Who would O'Hara be? He'd be the c***.

I don't think it's pronounced... A lot of talk sport callers call him that. He's in my phone as that as well. Well, here's the magnet, Danny Murphy and Simon Floppyhead. Oh, I don't know if we live in Juice, but I really do. Jordan having a big old pop at Jason's disparaging comments about Liverpool. Dull Liverpool, Danny. Dull. Well, Jason's normally very good. He obviously had a late night the night before and just flippantly said something off the top of his head.

that the top goal scorers in the premier league scored 50 goals more than anyone else they've got three players the only team to have three players in the top 20 goal scorers Gakpo Diaz and Salah so they're not relying on set plays so that's not how many goals they score in open plays ridiculous

If you just quickly go through December, I had to do this when I heard this because they beat City 0-2-0. Should have been five. They battered them. They went to Newcastle and scored three in arguably one of the most entertaining games of the season in a 3-3 draw. They played 75 minutes against Fulham and scored two and went for the win and were dominating second half. Fulham were hanging on. They scored six at Spurs, five at West Ham, three at home to Leicester. It could have been ten. In December alone, they scored 24 goals in eight games. Wow.

Right? So... Dull. If you move it forward to now, what he's talking about is a bad week against United and Tottenham where they didn't play particularly well. Yes, the game last night was a little bit lethargic at times because it's a game they didn't have to win. They made a few changes. It's always going to be more relaxed. They played second half at Forest...

In the Forest game, they completely battered Forest second half. The goalkeeper got man of the match. At Brentford, they had 37 shots. No team has ever gone away in the Premier League and had that many shots and dominated the game like that, ever. The numbers tell you that. They battered them. Absolutely battered them. What's happened to Kandi? He's just lost his head for a minute. But in Europe, his argument could be... They've been a little bit... They've been more, I don't know, parsimonious with their goals, if you like. Oh, I see. So they've been...

A little bit more stingy, yes. But they've still beaten the German champions, who nobody beats, 4-0 at home. And the Spanish champions battered them. But apparently that's because they had a few injuries and they scored six at Tottenham because it's Tottenham's fault because they're rubbish. It's ridiculous. I mean, they are... Which other supporter in the country gets better value for money than Liverpool fans? Name one.

Simon, I mean, far from dull, I would say. Far from dull? Yeah, I mean, but we're not listening to the Oxford Union of debating, are we? We're listening to the Sesame Street version of sports discussion. So, I mean, you're not going to come out of a discussion with Jamie O'Hara. To be fair, he's normally good, James. He's just had a bad moment. Maybe he had a late night. Well, the Sesame Street of sports broadcasting are back tonight at 10. Talk Sport Daily.

Now, stinks. It was a day to forget for England in the first T20 against India. With a host winning by seven wickets, mate. Here's how it sounded on TalkSport 2. How did it sound, Jay? Let's have a listen. Oh my goodness. Tilak Dhama has played a pull shot, was through it too early, and I think it's hit his glove that loops up over the keeper, and he goes away for four, and India win the game.

by seven wickets, 12 overs and five falls to score 133 to win the game. Till Alabama finishes 19 not out from 16 balls, Harding three from four, India win by seven wickets and go 1-0 up. Have a chat, Ginger. That is some performance. They've bowled tidily enough.

They haven't had to bowl that well, have they? Simplistic. We were saying that cricket is a simple sport when you strip it back down, but the way that England have gone about things has been pretty simple as well. There's been no crease occupation, no playing for the other guy, no getting off strike, no rotating strike. It's all seemingly about trying to hit every ball for four, unless you're talking about Joss Butler. He's at the other end, must be wondering what's going on.

back to football and an angry Unai Emery. Stinks, he looks like the count. He does. He looks like the count, mate. If it's Hesham Street, he's the count. He does, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, he questioned the mentality of some of his Aston Villa players after they blew. Blew what? Oh, what did they... Oh, my gosh, Stinks, can't wait to see what they... No, there's more. An opportunity to play.

to qualify automatically for the Champions League last 16. Now, Simon Floppy, oh, I don't really know, but I do. Jordan says the manager has earned the right in this instant. Has he? Let's find out, shall we? I think Villa's progress under him has been quite significant. I think he's shown, with all due respect to Danny's mate, Steven Gerrard, what a football manager looks like if he's given the opportunity to manage a squad of players that are capable of achieving more. And the fact that he's learnt his lessons in the Premier League as a result of his experience at Arsenal, come back as a different version of himself, perhaps,

I think he possibly has the right to make certain observations. He's a considered, controlled, not particularly emotive manager. So the fact that he's making observations, I think probably are worth listening to more than some of the other rants that we get to hear every now and again. And starting with the Villa, here's former Aston Villa skipper, Stylian Petrov, having a bit of a pop. At my drive time, I was staring at Ben and his dart skills. He's got a point.

I think he's seeing a new career away from broadcasting but as a professional darts player still Ian we have a dart board in the meeting room here and before the show Benty just constantly playing darts he's getting the maximums 180s quite regularly now he's

I'm not sure. I always had a question about Bente. Can he see? Because he kept missing a lot of chances, especially lots of one-on-ones. So our question is, I say definitely. Are you sure he's thrown in the right dad box? Yeah, maybe it's just been luck. Maybe he actually can't see the ball. That could be it. Talk Sport Daily.

And we're in this poddy thing with Alan Brazil and Ali McQuist reacting to the news that Ruben Ameren apparently kicked his TV due to a recent performance from his United player stinks. Kicked it, went up, booed it. Ruben, just keep listening to the radio.

I love that you've just made up something completely different to the story. Ruben's kicked his tail in. Ruben goes radio rental. No way. Broke a TV during a furious dressing room. What paper are you watching? Right, Backpage of the Sun, Ali. By the way, oh, he snagged Anthony to kick a tail in and it'd still be working. LAUGHTER

Ali McCoy, that's the shadiest I've ever heard you in your whole career. That's poor, isn't it? I apologise for that. You're French. Well, that's it, gang. Thanks for listening on Talks About Wherever You Get Your Podcast from. I'm back at 4pm today. Can't wait. It's like the award-winning drive time show. Can't wait. No, you didn't. I can't wait, Stinks. I'll be listening.

The Virgin. Anyway, Sticks, I'm back at the Sports Bar from Taylor alongside Nuts O'Hara. There'll be another one of these Talk Sport Daily problems out first thing in the morning. Make sure you hit the five-star review button. Caress, shatter, gnaw, pat. Give it a good old flashing smooch. But make sure you give it all the love you can. This has been Talk Sport Daily.
