The Overlap | Ange Postecoglou’s Immediate Reaction to Spurs Sacking Thomas Frank | Stick to Football EP 116

Just want to highlight this. Whilst I've watched this podcast fairly regularly, I've kind of lost interest in it lately. Partly due to the fact that we have been in such a negative state as a club for so long and we have finally been able to have a good few weeks of positivity and comments like Keane's just suck positivity out of the room. Whilst he was entertaining in the beginning his schtick is really wearing thin. Additionally, when you get past his "character" he doesn't really provide any real insight.
Which in turn tells you everything you need to know about why he failed at management.
At least Wrighty called him out on it.
Ian Wright was pretty exasperated with the whole 'it's his job' line.
Yep, in a nutshell!
Really wouldn't hurt Roy to be positive about somebody 'doing their job' once in a while.
Harsh on Ian Wright but otherwise yeah. Not really worth a listen unless they have a really interesting guest on.
I have watched on the tube a few times but this week i listened in the car which was a different experience. You really notice when they all talk over each other, especially Jill when she starts to make a point before the other babblers join in/talk over her on a completely different point. The episode will do well, the timing of Ange coming in was perfection, even if completely coincidental with Franks sacking.
I originally tried listening to it as audio in the car and it started giving me a migraine. Never again.
I love The Overlap, follow it religiously. Never got the Neville hate (mostly). Their nonsense with Sesko is absurd. Keane honestly was a joke on this last one. Gyokeres is a hit, but Sesko is a maybe? What a clown take. He absolutely does this on purpose too.
Sesko has had 10 times a better season than Gyokeres who has, lets be honest, largely been a huge flop. Much older and looks like a fish out of water. Won’t stop Roy though, “look at me I have such incredibly high standards for United and I’m so unbiased towards them”. Give it a rest old man.
Rant over.

He always seem to do that in regards to United players. Maybe he does hold them to a higher standard but he could throw a bone once in a while. And when a striker great like Wrighty emphasizes the technical difficulty of Sesko's goal v West Ham one should probably just shut up and give a listen.
I'd agree with the maybe to be fair, but if he's a maybe Gyök is certainly not a hit
Although it was probably recorded before Rat's comments about immigrants it's nice to hear Ange talk about how immigrant communities developed football in Australia.
Great from Roy
He's bloody entertaining to listen to
Came across much, much better in this one. He's quite charming when he isn't defensive.
His story about his parents was nice to listen to.

I always have time for Ange. Probably not up to it when it comes to this level, but seems like a genuine guy. I imagine listening to Frank after 2 seasons of Ange must’ve felt like a collective hangover for the Spurs players.
The "one's enough" line from Roy got a laugh from me.
He speaks well.
The Eric Steele interview on the Athletic podcast was surprisingly good. I was particularly impressed by the comprehensive understanding of the game and management he had for a gk coach. Besides that the insight on VDS and DDG's technique and approach as keepers was interesting.
Roy much better when he's a little more positive and not chasing headlines. Martinez was a decent guest too.
Edit: I think Martinez is a little deluded about Ronaldo when he says Ronaldo doesn't care about winning as much anymore, it's about helping the younger players. Yeah right

Martinez is a great waffler. Talks as if he's an elite manager when he's a good one but not that top echelon.
It did make me laugh though when Neville said Neto is a Hazard type player and Martinez gave him a blunt no.
What's Neville thinking there? They're nothing alike

He has to say that about Ronaldo, Ronaldo is a god in Portugal I bet secretly he wished he would retire from Portugal
That's where the mistake was

When Ian Wright was speaking about some of Sesko's recent goals and praising his finishing, I was thinking ''Roy, don't say it, don't say it, don't say 'that's his job', don't say it''.
Roy didn't say it and hopefully he caught the hint a couple of weeks ago that the 'that's his job' line has run its course unless he's talking about something really simple being executed like a striker scoring a simple tap in.
Yeah fair play to him. He either reflected on the criticism he would have received, or watched back and reflected on it, and was largely praising Sesko this episode, instead of doubling down on it like Butt and Scholes did.
Gary Neville taking one for the team there by demonstrating why a man of the age shouldn't get that top.
Bale today. Said that he only spoke to Moyes but that was as far as it went. Didn't speak to Woodward and once Madrid were interested he had no interest at all in going to United basically. Confirms what everyone mostly knew anyway but it was a non starter of a deal.
Moyes probably showed him videos of Leighton Baines
He's boring, isn't he? Not an overly interesting episode. He turned down United twice and Zidane didn't do much as Real Madrid manager were the talking points.
I enjoyed it. Seems honest enough, basically admitting that he barely trained
I liked the bit where he spoke about Madrid. In a world where people try to analyse football way too much and how coaches are performing tactical miracles, to then say you won 5 CLs by doing basic training and just getting the job done was funny.I enjoyed it.
